Primordial Era: I really don't want to be the Heavenly Emperor!

Chapter 115 The Promise with Fuxi

The people on Tianchi today are all among the most powerful figures in the immortal path, and they were able to instantly deduce the outcome of the matter that had already been revealed.

However, it must be said that Lu Ya was indeed lucky. He could simply enter the Kunlun Mirror and cross time and space to be reincarnated before the birth of the Ten Golden Crows.

After everyone finished laughing, they stopped talking about it. Whether Lu Ya was alive or dead was no longer important. Killing him would be easy, and it wasn't worth the crowd's discussion!

After a brief chat, Tongtian suddenly spoke up:

"Since Master merged with the Dao, the world has truly changed. First, the Star Domain representing the Star God Dao was destroyed by the Heavenly Court, and later the Witch Court also destroyed the Mountain God lineage."

"Now that the two great divine forces have been destroyed, there are fewer and fewer people in the primordial world who cultivate the divine arts. In addition, with the death of Lu Ya, a peak master of the divine arts, it can be said that the fortunes of the divine arts have come to an end!"

Zhen Yuanzi also readily agreed, saying, "Fellow Daoist Tongtian is right. The divine path has indeed declined, and with it comes a decrease in fortune. Perhaps the once-popular cultivation methods will disappear from the prehistoric continent, which would be quite a pity."

Everyone nodded in agreement!

Donghua also agreed with this statement. Nowadays, the divine forces on the prehistoric continent can be said to have been almost completely wiped out, and the remaining ones are no longer a threat.

But then, thinking of the gods people talked about in later generations, he said:

"Since the beginning of time, through countless eras, the fortunes of the ancient gods have almost come to an end. However, I believe that gods will not disappear, because heaven and earth need gods, and all living beings need gods!"

Everyone began to ponder Donghua's words, feeling that something was amiss, yet there was an inexplicable mystery to them.

Hongyun thought for a moment, but still couldn't figure it out, so she asked:

"What is your interpretation of this statement, Fellow Daoist Taiwei?"

Donghua didn't mince words and answered directly, "Gods and immortals are different. Immortals pursue freedom and transcendence, while gods, in the process of pursuing transcendence, also have divine duties bestowed by heaven and earth."

"Just as I am the Wood God of the East, the Wood God is a divine position bestowed upon me by Heaven and Earth. I am born with the great laws of wood, and within my duties, I also need to regulate the wood energy of the East. Therefore, Heaven and Earth need divine positions to function."

"Nowadays, there are more and more beings born after the primordial era. Those who are not immortals after birth are as numerous as hairs on a cow. These newly born beings also need gods to perform their duties and ensure their lives."

"So the innate gods have come to an end, then the acquired gods should be born!"

Donghua's words were like a wake-up call, and everyone immediately came to their senses. It wasn't that they didn't know these things, but rather that they hadn't thought of them.

As they are innate saints and quasi-saints, how could they possibly know what kind of life beings below the level of immortals live?

Just as an elephant never cares what an ant is doing.

As soon as she heard Donghua's words, Hongyun was the first to stand up and refute him:

"A god formed from a being born later in life, is that still a god? Besides, we cultivators pursue freedom and transcendence. If we are restricted by divine office, that's terrible, terrible!"

Donghua smiled and said lightly, "You, Hongyun, were born a primordial saint, and were born as a Great Luo Emperor who controls the laws. How could you, a carefree and unrestrained person, know the hardships of the people at the bottom of the primordial world?"

"As for what gods are formed later in life, they are naturally the gods of my Immortal Path. My majestic Immortal Path, surely it can encompass gods formed later in life?"

"Easy peasy!"

A few words left Hongyun speechless, yet she looked incredulous.

"Can the path of immortality give rise to the path of divinity?"

Taishang asked with doubt, "What is a god acquired later in life?"

Donghua thought for a moment, and based on his memories of the divine way from later generations, he said:

"Any believer can become a god; anyone recognized by Heaven and Earth can also become a god. You are a god, I am a god, anyone can be a god!"

The Supreme Being pondered for a moment, then stroked his beard and said:

"In this way, our immortal path will once again usher in development, which is truly excellent!"

"No wonder Master bestowed upon you the title of Head of Male Immortals; you truly deserve it. From this day forward, our immortal path shall flourish throughout the world, and all paths under heaven may lead to immortality!"

Zhunti clasped his hands together and exclaimed, "Boundless, boundless! The Eastern King truly possesses extraordinary talent. I believe he should be the supreme Heavenly Emperor, while Dijun is far inferior!"

Upon hearing this, the scene immediately fell silent, after all, there was also Emperor Xi of the Heavenly Court present.

Donghua cursed inwardly, "You old sly devil!"

Hongyun, oblivious to the situation, nodded in agreement, saying, "I wholeheartedly agree with what Fellow Daoist Zhunti has said."

"In terms of cultivation, the Eastern King is a Dao Lord who pioneered the Dao, with a cultivation level of late Quasi-Saint; in terms of virtue, needless to say, he surpasses Di Jun by a thousand times."

"In terms of status, the Eastern King is the head of the male immortals personally appointed by our teacher, the Eastern Wood Duke, who surpasses even Di Jun. Therefore, in every aspect, the Eastern King is more suitable than Di Jun!"

Zhen Yuanzi tried to signal to Hongyun, but to no avail, and finally sighed in frustration.

Seeing everyone remain silent, Donghua burst into laughter, drawing everyone's attention.

"Fellow Daoist Zhunti, Fellow Daoist Hongyun, you have praised me so highly. If Dijun attacks my Purple Mansion because of this in the future, you will not be able to escape. You must contribute your share, otherwise this karma will not be resolved."

The Queen Mother of the West, also looking indignant, said to the two, "That's right! You are both carefree people, so naturally you have no fear of the Heavenly Court. My brother and I have this foundation, so we can only confront the Heavenly Court head-on. This will cause countless deaths and suffering. If Emperor Jun attacks us for this reason in the future, you two will not be able to escape!"

Zhunti remained silent, but Hongyun laughed and casually said, "It's alright, it's alright. I, Hongyun, naturally agree with what I have said. If this angers Dijun in the future, I am willing to deal with it together with you two."

……

The discussion ended amidst laughter and conversation, and everyone left one after another.

Before leaving, Fuxi seemed to want to say something, but ultimately he didn't.

Seeing this, Donghua said, "Fellow Daoist Fuxi, you don't need to say anything more. Isn't it just that Emperor Jun of the Heavenly Court is plotting against me in the Purple Mansion?"

"I actually guessed this when Beiming attacked Beihai last time. I've always wanted to avoid conflict with the Heavenly Court, but I couldn't escape it in the end. Since Dijun wants to fight, let's have a fight and see who's the real deal!"

Since Donghua broke through to the late Quasi-Saint stage, his state of mind has changed. Some things are ultimately inescapable. Perhaps they were destined the moment the Purple Mansion was established. Fate is truly amazing!

Hearing Donghua say this, Fuxi looked up at the sky and said bitterly, "Fellow Daoist Taiwei, I feel that my own Dao and the Dao of the Heavenly Court are becoming increasingly different, as if we have each gone in different directions. Could you please teach me?"

Donghua patted Fuxi on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Fuxi, Fuxi, it's not that your path is different from the Heavenly Court's, but that your path is different from Dijun's. Isn't the Heavenly Court's path the same as Dijun's? Dijun uses one clan to suppress all other clans, and he will inevitably suffer a backlash in the end."

"As time goes by, the Heavenly Court remains the same, but Di Jun is different; he is not unique. The Heavenly Court is the Heavenly Court, and Di Jun is Di Jun; the two are not the same."

"The Heavenly Court should not be the Heavenly Court of one family or one clan, but the Heavenly Court of all living beings in the primordial world. Therefore, your path, Fuxi, is not wrong, nor is your ambition wrong. It is just that the Heavenly Court has embarked on the wrong path."

Upon hearing this, Fuxi looked at Donghua in shock and remained silent for a long time. This time, his heart was shaken again, even more so than the last time in Tiannan.

Fuxi's ambition was to establish a well-ordered world where all races could coexist, but the Heavenly Court could no longer bring him these hopes.

Finally, he slowly said, "Fellow Daoist is truly wise. Hongyun's words are indeed correct. You are more suitable for the position of Heavenly Emperor than Dijun."

"The Heavenly Court should indeed not become the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race. Although it may develop quickly, it is ultimately too narrow-minded and it will be difficult for it to become the true ruler of the primordial world. Our vision is too limited."

Fuxi's tone shifted, his gaze sharpening as he looked at Donghua and asked, "The Purple Mansion is as vast as the ocean, teeming with all sorts of people. So, what are your aspirations, fellow Daoist?"

Donghua revealed his aspirations and principles: "When I severed my corpse, I had already clearly defined my path, which is to establish a moral compass for Heaven and Earth and to contribute to the primordial world!"

This time, Fuxi didn't say anything after hearing this, but looked at Donghua intently.

"Fellow Daoist Taiwei, I would like to travel with you to the territory under the jurisdiction of the Witch Court for an experience. Would you be willing?"

Although Donghua didn't know why Fuxi wanted to go to the Wuting territory, he still had some guesses in his mind. He guessed that Fuxi wanted to really understand the Wuting.

"That is exactly what I wish for!"

After agreeing on a time, Fuxi left Xikunlun.
