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

Chapter 214 The Rise of the Human Race: The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors!

After the Sage Taiqing arrived, Nuwa, Yuanshi, Tongtian, Zhunti, and Jieyin also arrived and took their seats.

Haotian was delighted to see this; he was already very happy that his fellow saintly senior brothers had come to support him.

Zhao Gongming was also among them, and he smiled at Chen Jiugong and Yao Shaosi.

"Your great celestial uncle is a wealthy man, so take as much as you can."

"Yes, Master."

Chen Jiugong and Yao Shaosi were extremely excited. Not long ago, they were just invisible figures in the tribe.

Who would have thought that I would be able to participate in such a grand event in the future!

The grand banquet lasted for three days. After three days, Haotian personally issued an edict appointing Houtu of the Eighteenth Netherworld Sea as one of the Six Emperors, to follow the example of the Earth Emperor.

This surprised countless powerful figures in the Lingxiao Palace.

Unexpectedly, this Great Celestial Venerable was so generous, directly offering up such a prestigious position.

The new Heavenly Court has a completely new system of divine officials.

The six highest positions are called the Six Emperors, who are the Great Heavenly Venerables who sit in the central position, also known as Haotian.

Then there are the Great Emperor of the North Pole of the Central Heaven, the Great Emperor of the Longevity of the South Pole, the Great Emperor of the Azure Flower of the East Pole, the Great Emperor of the Upper Palace of Gouchen, and the Earthly Sovereign of the Earthly Emperor who follows the laws of Heaven.

These six positions are all the most prestigious and supremely honorable.

Zhao Gongming sat to the side drinking wine and eating melons and fruits, secretly thinking that Haotian was indeed quite capable.

Unfortunately, due to the constraints imposed by the saints, he was ultimately unable to unleash his full potential.

A grand feast came to a hasty end, and the primordial world returned to its usual calm and uneventful state.

Time flies, and thousands of years have passed quietly.

Under Haotian's tireless efforts, the Heavenly Court recruited a group of celestial officials, which began to operate and gradually took shape.

However, there is still a lack of substantial and effective control over the primordial wilderness.

The lineage of sages and the myriad races of the primordial world are all like a towering mountain standing before the Heavenly Court, impossible to cross.

Although Haotian was troubled, he had only been on the throne for a few thousand years and was full of energy, so he didn't take it to heart.

He even sought out Zhao Gongming several times, and was even willing to give up his Sixth Imperial Venerable Position.

They requested that Zhao Gongming be appointed as the Great Emperor of the North Pole of the Central Heaven, but Zhao Gongming politely declined.

As the Heavenly Court develops, it will inevitably have to compete with the Six Sage Lineages for fortune. Although the position of the Ziwei Emperor is tempting, it is not enough to entice him.

On this day, the fortunes of humanity suddenly surged in the heavens.

Then, at an extremely fast speed, it transformed into a dragon, emitting a high-pitched dragon roar that soared into the sky, instantly alarming countless powerful beings.

"That's... the dragon formed from the destiny of the human race!"

"What does it mean that the human race's destiny has transformed into a dragon? Does it mean that the human race is about to prosper?"

"Humans are a small and insignificant race. Apart from their large population, they have yet to produce a single Quasi-Saint. What makes them capable of great prosperity?"

The powerful beings whispered among themselves, clearly indicating that the human race was simply not worthy of their attention.

Soon, space shattered, and a purple token broke through the space, appearing in mid-air.

The saints, sensing something, raised their heads at the same time.

"This is the Purple Cloud Token!"

The saints, their eyes wide with surprise, tore through the void and arrived in the Thirty-Three Heavens.

The Purple Cloud Palace spun around and a phantom image of Hongjun appeared. He glanced at the six saints indifferently and said...

"The great trend of Heaven has changed; have you all noticed?"

The sages nodded, "The great trend of Heaven has fallen upon the human race."

"That's right. The will of Heaven favors humanity. The coming era will be the era of humanity. I have calculated for a long time and have determined that humanity will experience the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. After the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors appear, humanity will achieve great prosperity!"

"The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors?"

"May I ask, teacher, where are the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors now?"

The sages could only deduce that the general trend of Heaven's Way had fallen to the human race; they could not deduce it any more clearly.

Hongjun shook his head slightly, "The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors have not yet been born. The reason I have summoned you here today is to discuss this matter."

Upon hearing this, the sages immediately became interested. According to the Dao Ancestor, after the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the human race would usher in a great prosperity. Therefore, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were undoubtedly extremely important figures.

Nuwa's beautiful eyes sparkled with a strange light. In the war between the Lich King and the Demon King, Fuxi's zither was destroyed, and even her own brother was left with only a wisp of his remnant soul, which was preserved in the Six Paths of Reincarnation and nurtured with merit.

Humanity was created by himself, and he already had a great deal of say in the position of Emperor.

If my elder brother were to be reincarnated as a human and attain the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, he would surely be reborn.

It is entirely possible to restore one's former cultivation level, or even to advance it further.

As for the saints, a faint ripple stirred in their hearts. They had underestimated the human race. They never expected that the human race, with its insignificant bodies, would have such an opportunity for great prosperity.

The two Western Saints were the most resentful. Since the end of the conflict between Tao and Demon, their West had been barren for countless millennia, and they could never get a chance to prosper. On the contrary, the human race had such good fortune.

Hongjun continued his calculations, saying, "I have deduced that the supreme treasure of humanity, the Kongtong Seal, has already been born. The establishment of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, as well as the selection of their teachers, all require the Kongtong Seal's approval."

Nuwa quickly asked, "Then, teacher, where is the Kongtong Seal now?"

Upon hearing this, Hongjun's gaze fell upon Tongtian Jiaozhu, who looked completely bewildered.

"Teacher, I don't have that Kongtong mark on me."

But soon, the Tongtian Sect Leader realized, "Master, do you mean that the Kongtong Seal is within our Jie Sect?"

"Could it be my nephew, Gongming?"

Nuwa blurted out, "No wonder, in the primordial world today, besides her, the Holy Mother of Humanity, the one most deeply involved with the human race is Zhao Gongming."

In the war between the Lich King and the Demon King, the demon race slaughtered humans. If it weren't for Zhao Gongming's intervention, the human casualties would have been at least a hundred times greater.

In a sense, in the hearts of the human race, Zhao Gongming, the teacher, is even above them, the human saint.

Hongjun said calmly, "As sages, you bear immense responsibilities. Now that you understand, discuss and decide for yourselves."

After Hongjun finished speaking, the entire illusory figure transformed into a stream of light and flew into the Purple Cloud Token, breaking through space and disappearing.

After Hongjun left, the gazes of all the saints instantly shifted to Tongtian Jiaozhu, and they all said in unison.

"Junior Brother Tongtian, go and call Junior Nephew Gongming over. The supreme treasure of humanity is in his hands. If anyone wants to establish the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, no one else can do it."

Tongtian nodded, casually flicked out a sword talisman, which tore through the void and flew down to the lower realm.

After receiving the news, Zhao Gongming instructed Liu Er, Chen Jiugong, and Yao Shaosi to guard the main gate of the Daoist temple, and then he himself rushed to the heavens alone.

Soon, Zhao Gongming arrived. He was surprised to see all the saints present. He first bowed to Tongtian, and then to all the saints.

Zhunti and Jieyin looked at Zhao Gongming, whose aura of the Great Luo was perfected and who was not far from becoming a Quasi-Saint. They felt a pang of envy and bitterness in their hearts.

Before they knew it, all of Tongtian's disciples had reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal Perfection stage.

It seems that it won't be long before he attains quasi-sainthood.

His Western disciples were all stuck at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, unable to even break through to the level of a Daluo.

The difference between the two is like heaven and earth.

After exchanging greetings, Zhao Gongming inquired, "May I ask what business you gentlemen have with me?"
