Primordial Era: A God-Level Choice, Possessing Zhao Gongming at the Start.

As for the third point, after the initial period of calm in the primordial world, signs of chaos reappeared.

The title "Primordial Ruler" seems to possess immense magical power, constantly drawing all races of the primordial world to take risks, fight, plunder, and ultimately head towards the abyss.

As the carnage intensified, the calamity that had dissipated in the world began to coalesce again.

Inside Luofu Cave on Mount Emei, Zhao Gongming is preaching to his disciples.

He sat at the head of the Luofu Cave, his eyes slightly closed, and bursts of Taoist chants constantly emanated from his mouth.

Below them are Liu Er, Chen Jiugong, Yao Shaosi, Xiao Heihu, and others.

In addition, there are some mountain monsters that cultivate near Mount Emei.

Zhao Gongming did not refuse them when they came to listen to his lecture, but let them be.

If they can't comprehend anything, it's because their karmic connections aren't strong enough.

Once you figure it out, you'll realize that it's their good fortune, and they deserve this blessing.

At the same time, it can also lay a solid foundation for the spread of the Jiejiao tradition.

Therefore, Zhao Gongming's name became widely known, and people within thousands of miles around knew that there was an enlightened immortal in Luofu Cave on Mount Emei.

After the sermon was finished, the mountain creatures bowed in gratitude and quietly departed. Chen Jiugong and the others also stood up and bowed to Zhao Gongming.

"Thank you, Master, for transmitting the Dharma."

It has been thousands of years since Chen Jiugong and Yao Shaosi became disciples of Zhao Gongming.

With the help of abundant spiritual essence from heaven and earth, his cultivation level has advanced by leaps and bounds, and he has now reached the peak of the True Immortal realm.

As for Liu Er, needless to say, he was at the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, just one step away from attaining the Great Luo realm.

The little black tiger is also incredibly fast, and now it possesses the cultivation of a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Chen Jiugong and Yao Shaosi voiced their doubts, just as Zhao Gongming was about to resolve them.

Suddenly, Zhao Gongming's eyes narrowed, and he said to Chen Jiugong and Yao Shaosi.

"If you have any questions about cultivation, you can ask your Six-Eared Senior Brother."

Liu Er quickly asked, "May I ask, teacher, what has happened?"

Zhao Gongming's face became more solemn. "If I'm not mistaken, the summons from the Dao Ancestor is about selecting a new Heavenly Emperor."

"A new Heavenly Emperor?"

Liu Er was somewhat surprised. "The lesson of the Lich King is still fresh in our minds. In the Lich King's battle, the Heavenly Pillar was directly destroyed."

The waters of the Milky Way are ravaging the mortal realm; why would the Dao Ancestor choose a new Heavenly Emperor at this time?

Zhao Gongming laughed and said, "When the Wu and Yao races were still around, all the races in the prehistoric world had to keep their tails between their legs. But after the war between the Wu and Yao races, the Wu and Yao races perished together, and the prehistoric world lost two hegemonic forces. Look at the prehistoric world now. Any major race with a Quasi-Saint in charge has started to act recklessly again. In time, when a major war breaks out, it will be filled with the smoke of gunpowder again."

"Instead of letting the myriad races of the prehistoric world fight each other and weaken their own strength, it would be better for the Dao Ancestor to personally select a Heavenly Emperor. Even if he cannot win the hearts of the people, with the Dao Ancestor's support behind him, the ambitions of the myriad races of the prehistoric world can be suppressed."

"So that's how it is!"

Liu Er scratched his head, realizing that he really wouldn't understand if his teacher hadn't explained it to him.

"You stay on Mount Emei to teach Jiu Gong and Shao Si, I'm leaving now."

After uttering those words, Zhao Gongming tore through space and vanished without a trace.

A vast, chaotic void, permeated with primordial energy, dark and cold.

Faintly visible are solitary, ancient, chaotic stars floating in the boundless chaos.

Endless fire, water, and wind filled the vast space, giving off an aura of immense danger.

Occasionally, in places both visible and invisible, a massive spatial storm will sweep across the sky, swallowing countless stars at an extremely fast speed.

Chaos is a forbidden zone for cultivators below the Great Luo level in the Primordial World. Only cultivators above the Great Luo Golden Immortal level have the right to set foot in Chaos.

Of course, even a Great Immortal must be cautious in the chaos.

They barely managed to protect themselves amidst the chaos.

One moment of carelessness could lead to one's demise due to a sudden crisis.

This is the first time Zhao Gongming has come to Chaos alone.

He carefully summoned the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner, and after thinking for a moment, he summoned the Xuanyuan Water Control Banner.

Chaos is still too dangerous for a newcomer like him; it's better to have an extra layer of protection.

Zhao Gongming waved two large banners, one gold and one blue, which intertwined to form an enormous light screen that protected Zhao Gongming within it.

Then, with incredible speed, it broke through the void and rushed into the depths of chaos.

In the vast chaos, Zhao Gongming had no idea how long he had been traveling.

A magnificent and mysteriously profound Taoist palace came into view.

Above the Dao Palace, on the plaque, are three large characters written in primordial divine patterns: "Zixiao Palace".

Around the Purple Cloud Palace, countless purple wisps of energy swirled, separating the chaotic energy flows of earth, fire, water, and wind, creating a safe zone.

"This is the Purple Cloud Palace where the Dao Ancestor resides; it is indeed extraordinary!"

Zhao Gongming sighed inwardly, realizing that he could sense the astonishing Daoist power emanating from Zixiao Palace even from the outer perimeter.

Zhao Gongming entered the Zixiao Palace and found that the gate was already open. Without hesitation, he stepped inside.

Entering Zixiao Palace is like entering a small world, where innate energy surges forth.

On the white jade-paved floor, countless prayer cushions were laid out, bathed in countless rays of light and auspicious colors, enveloping the Zixiao Palace.

The light illuminated the Zixiao Palace as bright as day, creating a stark contrast with the darkness outside.

Zhao Gongming glanced around and saw that the six sages had already arrived, each sitting on a futon.

In addition, there were hundreds of quasi-saint cultivators, each sitting upright on their prayer mats.

"Gongming, come here."

Tongtian spotted Zhao Gongming immediately and waved to him.

Zhao Gongming hurried over and found a futon to sit down.

Over time, more people arrived one after another.

By the end, the entire Zixiao Palace was densely packed with figures, numbering at least over three thousand.

Clearly, after the Dragon-Han Calamity and the Lich-Demon Calamity, there are now more and more powerful beings in the prehistoric world.

After everyone had arrived, the gates of Zixiao Palace slowly closed, and an old man dressed in a gray robe with white hair and beard appeared.

"We pay our respects to the Dao Ancestor."

The Six Sages led all the powerful beings in Zixiao Palace to rise and pay their respects to Hongjun.

Hongjun waved his hand slightly, "No need for formalities."

Taiqing, as the senior disciple of the Xuanmen sect, stepped forward, cupped his hands, and asked, "May I ask why our master has summoned us here?"

Hongjun said expressionlessly, "It has been thousands of years since the end of the Lich War. There is no ruler of the world in the prehistoric world, and the fighting among the myriad races has started again. It seems that we are about to repeat the mistakes of the Lich War. After much deliberation, I have decided to elect a Heavenly Emperor for the prehistoric world to be in charge of governing it."

As soon as Hongjun said this, the atmosphere in Zixiao Palace became subtle.

The patriarchs of all races lowered their heads unconsciously; the Dao Ancestor's words were clearly addressed to them.

But more often than not, there were whispers and quiet discussions.

"Electing a new Heavenly Emperor? Is the primordial world about to witness a repeat of the calamity caused by the Lich King?"
