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

"What nonsense are you spouting? Behind the new Heavenly Emperor stands the Dao Ancestor. Who would dare to act recklessly?"

"With the election of a new Heavenly Emperor, who will be chosen to hold this position?"

"The throne of the Heavenly Emperor isn't necessarily a good thing. Look at someone as powerful as the Lich; what happened to him in the end?"

"Tsk tsk, there are risks, but the Heavenly Emperor enjoys the primordial fortune—how wondrous is that?"

Unlike the powerful figures in Zixiao Palace, the saints' gazes were intense.

They are saints, and naturally possess overwhelming power.

They are saints, and their primordial spirits reside in the Heavenly Way, so they cannot assume the role of the new Heavenly Emperor.

However, if the position of Heavenly Emperor could fall into the hands of one's own lineage, that would be quite good, as it would at least bring an indescribable amount of fortune.

Taiqing cupped his hands and asked, "May I ask, Master, who do you intend to appoint as the new Heavenly Emperor?"

Hongjun pondered for a moment, then asked, "Do you have anyone in mind?"

As soon as Hongjun finished speaking, a burly man stepped forward and patted his chest.

"Dao Ancestor, I am unworthy, but I wish to become the new Heavenly Emperor."

Immediately, snickers erupted from the surroundings. "This brute bull wants to be the Heavenly Emperor? It's laughable!"

"Um?"

The burly man cast a glare at them, exuding a fierce aura. His mid-stage Quasi-Saint cultivation was clearly evident. The others' expressions changed slightly, and they dared not laugh anymore.

Hongjun nodded slightly, "Today, everyone from Zixiao Palace has gathered here. Anyone who wants to become the new Heavenly Emperor, please step forward. I will seriously consider it."

"Your Excellency, I am unworthy, but I am willing to recommend myself as the Heavenly Emperor."

"Dao Ancestor, I also want to try it."

"Dao Ancestor, the position of Heavenly Emperor is rightfully mine. I will definitely govern the prehistoric world well."

With Hongjun's words, all the races of the prehistoric world, especially those with Quasi-Saints in charge, stepped forward, vying to become the new Heavenly Emperor.

The new Heavenly Emperor enjoys unparalleled good fortune, enough to make them achieve terrifying strength like the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan.

Seeing so many people wanting to become the new Heavenly Emperor, Zhunti couldn't hold back any longer and shouted loudly.

"Master, my disciple, the Pharmacist, possesses profound blessings and extraordinary background; he is capable of becoming the new Heavenly Emperor."

Zhunti's voice dominated the entire venue, instantly drowning out all other sounds.

Yuanshi also stepped forward and said, "My disciple Guangchengzi is exceptionally talented and humble; he is also capable of becoming the new Heavenly Emperor."

Taiqing remained silent, clearly indicating that he had no intention of vying for the position of the new Heavenly Emperor.

As for Nuwa, she had no lineage or disciples, only the attendant Xuan Tian Huo Feng Jin Ning, so she naturally had no interest in the position of Heavenly Emperor.

As for the Tongtian Sect Leader, he naturally wouldn't be outdone, and said domineeringly.

"Our Jie Sect is the most powerful among the four sects, with all immortals paying homage to us. My disciple Gongming is the first among the second generation of the four sects to become a Great Luo Golden Immortal, and he is capable of becoming the Heavenly Emperor."

Zhao Gongming looked bewildered and turned to his teacher.

I never expected the teacher to recommend him as the new Heavenly Emperor; it's simply outrageous.

Zhao Gongming knew that the Dao Ancestor had already made up his mind.

The position of the new Heavenly Emperor will ultimately fall to Haotian, the attendant of the Dao Ancestor.

The current selection of a new Heavenly Emperor is merely a formality.

and many more!

Zhao Gongming's heart skipped a beat, and a chill ran through him.

If the Dao Ancestor wanted to become the Heavenly Emperor Haotian, he could simply accept his fate, and no one would object.

Why go through all this trouble and go through this process?

Zhao Gongming then thought of the reason why the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods would begin in the future.

Although Haotian holds the prestigious position of Heavenly Emperor, he is secretly hampered by the various saints and has no one under his command.

They had no choice but to go to Zixiao Palace to complain to the Dao Ancestor, which led to the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods.

Could it be that the Investiture of the Gods was orchestrated by the Dao Ancestor?

Zhao Gongming was startled and quickly erased the thought from his mind.

The sound from Tongtian was so loud that it immediately drowned out all other sounds.

The crowd whispered among themselves, and what the Sage of Heaven said did seem to make some sense.

Zhunti immediately retorted, "Senior Brother Tongtian, you are mistaken. The position of Heavenly Emperor is not something that can be held by anyone with the highest strength. The position of Heavenly Emperor is determined by comprehensive ability, and it is none other than my Medicine Master's.

Tongtian sneered, "You mean my disciple is inferior to your pharmacist? Then why don't we have them have a contest?"

"Brother Tongtian, you must be joking."

Zhunti snorted and turned around abruptly. "What a joke."

How could his family's pharmacist, with his Taiyi Daoist cultivation, possibly compete with a Daluo Jinxian?

Hongjun looked at Zhao Gongming calmly, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and smiled, "Do you wish to become the new Heavenly Emperor of the Primordial World?"

Without hesitation, Zhao Gongming rose, cupped his hands, and said, "Dao Ancestor, in terms of cultivation, this disciple is no match for the many seniors present, nor is he as senior as they are. What virtue or ability does this disciple possess to assume the position of Heavenly Emperor?"

Hongjun smiled and shook his head, then addressed the crowd, "Regarding the new Heavenly Emperor, I also have someone in mind. What do you all think?"

The atmosphere in Zixiao Palace froze for a moment, and the expressions on the faces of the powerful figures varied.

The Dao Ancestor already had someone in mind, so why ask them?

"I wonder who will win the favor of the Dao Ancestor."

"Haotian, Yaochi, come out."

Hongjun waved his hand, and two figures emerged from a corner of Zixiao Palace.

Haotian was dressed in white, with a tall and slender figure, handsome appearance, and black hair cascading down his shoulders. He was exceptionally elegant and his aura was that of a perfected Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Yaochi had fair skin and delicate features. Her long, flowing hair made her look holy and elegant, and you would never guess that she was a servant boy.

"What, Haotian?"

"Isn't he just a gatekeeper by the Dao Ancestor's side? How could he be the new Heavenly Emperor?"

"This new Heavenly Emperor of the Primordial World, his status is so noble, Haotian..."

Inside the Zixiao Palace, a jumble of chatter arose.

Although the powerful figures refrained from speaking directly out of respect for the Dao Ancestor, the implied meaning was already quite clear.

The position of the Heavenly Emperor is of immeasurable nobility; how could a mere gatekeeper possibly hold it?

Haotian, Yaochi, and Hongjun bowed to everyone, then obediently stepped aside and remained silent.

Hongjun's expression turned serious. "I believe Haotian is capable of becoming the Heavenly Emperor. What do you fellow Daoists think?"

"The Dao Ancestor is wise and sagacious."

Although the saints and great powers still wanted to compete for the position of the new Heavenly Emperor, the Dao Ancestor had already spoken, so they had no choice but to accept it.

Zhunti, standing to the side, gave Tongtian a smug look.

See? If the Western Paradise can't get the new Heavenly Emperor's throne, neither can your Jie Sect.

Tongtian was too lazy to bother with Zhunti. If he had used his scheming skills to improve his cultivation, he wouldn't have ended up with the title of the weakest saint.

Hongjun looked at Haotian and solemnly asked, "Haotian, are you willing to accept this heavy responsibility of becoming the new Heavenly Emperor?"

"Teacher, I am willing."

Haotian bowed respectfully.

"it is good."

Hongjun smiled, and with a flash of light in his hand, three spiritual treasures appeared.

It is shaped like a pagoda, a mirror, and a spiritual root.

Both spiritual treasures exuded a rich spiritual aura, classifying them as top-grade innate spiritual treasures.

That spiritual root was equally impressive, being a top-grade innate spiritual root.

As soon as the three treasures appeared, all eyes in Zixiao Palace turned to them; these were three supreme treasures!

Hongjun waved his hand, and the pagoda and mirror landed in front of Haotian. "This is the Haotian Pagoda, which combines offense and defense. This is the Haotian Mirror, which can investigate the affairs of the universe. Its uses are endless. Both are top-grade innate spiritual treasures. Refine them carefully."

Haotian excitedly accepted it, "Yes, teacher."
