Primordial Era: When a Good Guy Awakens a Morally Unethical System

After Hongyun finished fighting, Hongjun spoke: "Hongyun, Tongtian, sit down."

Tongtian glared fiercely at Jieyin, clearly indicating that his anger was only temporarily suppressed and would be unleashed sooner or later. That punch just now was too light, and besides, it wasn't him who threw it, so it didn't count.

After pressing down Hongyun and Tongtian, the Dao Ancestor looked at the assembled saints and said directly, "The three hundred and sixty-five righteous gods come from the Chan and Jie sects and the Western sect."

As Hongyun said, he is not a Taoist, so he naturally does not need to send his disciples to be listed.

As for Laozi and Nuwa, one is one of the Three Pure Ones, while the other only has two disciples. Moreover, Lingzhuzi has already gone to Kunlun Mountain, and is considered a disciple of the Chan Sect, so he can be considered to have participated.

The majority of them are still the Chan and Jie sects and the Western sect, which have the largest number of members.

Lao Tzu had no objection: "But teacher, how should we bestow titles upon the gods?"

"Heaven, Earth, Man".

"Now that we have appointed the righteous gods of Heaven, we will start with the human race."

"Each of you chooses a human power to support and help it achieve orthodoxy. Whichever side wins will be given the Investiture of the Gods."

With a wave of his hand, the Dao Ancestor conferred the Investiture of the Gods, which was formed from the Heavenly Book, and a God-Slaying Whip, which fell into Laozi's hand.

"This Investiture of the Gods and the God-Slaying Whip shall be entrusted to Taiqing for safekeeping."

Jieyin was indignant, but he suppressed his resentment. Daozu was clearly biased towards Hongyun and the Three Pure Ones; all the good things went to the Three Pure Ones, while all the grievances were his. Even if he spoke out now, he would only be reprimanded.

"How many people will the West send?" Yuanshi asked Jieyin, his eyes filled with a hint of pressure.

Jieyin hesitated for a moment, then held up three fingers.

"Three hundred? Junior brother, you are truly righteous!" Laozi laughed heartily and praised.

Jieyin waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, it's not three hundred! Our West is poor, and we have very few cultivators. How can we compare with great Eastern sects like Chan and Jie? We... we in the West only have three disciples..."

Before anyone could refute her, Jieyin abruptly changed the subject, looking at Hongyun:

"Speaking of which, I just remembered that Senior Brother Hongyun has more than three disciples! How can you say there are only three? Could it be that you don't want your disciples to be on the list and are deceiving your teacher?"

Hongyun was taken aback; he had indeed forgotten about those human disciples. He had originally planned to include them on the list so they could protect the human race in the Heavenly Court in the future, and he had almost left them out.

He quickly replied, "Dao Ancestor, I forgot just now, but I did indeed take in a few disciples among the human race in the past. They have cultivated diligently and are wholeheartedly dedicated to protecting humanity. If the Jade Emperor does not mind, please allow them to be included on the list!"

"Although I have never formally become a disciple of the Dao Ancestor, I have received guidance from him over the years and should therefore do my part for the Xuanmen (Taoist sect)."

Hongjun nodded in satisfaction. It was just a few spots; even if Hongyun protected his disciple, he wouldn't say anything. But Hongyun spoke nicely and made his stance clear to the others first, which showed he knew how to handle things.

Hongyun was also very satisfied and wrote their names on the list. As long as they did not die during the Investiture of the Gods, they would be able to be listed physically after the event, which would give them much more freedom and a higher status on the Investiture of the Gods list.

Yuanshi Tianzun pondered for a moment with a serious expression, then said, "Master, the Chan Sect only has twelve disciples, so would it be alright if we send twelve people?"

Knowing what would happen next, Hongyun understood that Yuanshi's decision not to mention the current twelve disciples already indicated that he had made his plans. Entering the Investiture of the Gods meant being at the mercy of others, and his cultivation would be interrupted; how could he bear to part with those precious disciples he had carefully selected?
