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

Randeng chuckled dryly for a while, then got to the point, "Did the two saints use their supernatural powers to enter my dream for something?"

Jieyin laughed, "We sensed an overwhelming resentment emanating from you, fellow Daoist. This resentment must originate from my senior brother, Yuanshi, right?"

Randeng's expression changed slightly, and he immediately denied it, saying, "You two sages are joking. The Primordial Sage has been incredibly kind to me; how could I dare to harbor any resentment?"

Jieyin waved his hand and explained, "Fellow Daoist Ran Deng, there's no need to be so cautious. The resentment in your heart is not something we can perceive, but rather something that the Henghe Dream Realm can perceive."

Randeng's eyes narrowed slightly. "What is the purpose of your esteemed presence here, two sages? Please speak plainly. I am all ears."

Jieyin raised an eyebrow, signaling Zhunti to speak, and Zhunti smiled.

"As Fellow Daoist Ran Deng knows, our Western Sect has been developing and expanding its scale in recent years. Fellow Daoist Ran Deng must have been unhappy in the Chan Sect all these years. As long as Fellow Daoist Ran Deng is willing to come to our Chan Sect, from now on, we can guarantee that your status will be second only to the two of us."

Jieyin solemnly said, "In addition to being second only to one person and above ten thousand others, we also guarantee that Fellow Daoist Randeng's path will be unobstructed, leading him all the way to the Great Perfection of Quasi-Saint."

Randeng frowned and said, "I have already joined the Chan Sect. How can I waver between two sides? You two sages, please stop joking."

Zhunti and Jieyin exchanged a glance and smiled at each other, not surprised at all.

They didn't intend to convince Ran Deng all at once; there would be plenty of time later, they could take it slowly.

Today, as long as a seed is planted in the heart of the torchbearer, their journey will not have been in vain.

Zhunti flipped his palm over, and a golden Bodhi seed appeared, which he tossed to Dipankara.

"If Fellow Daoist Ran Deng changes his mind in the future, you can contact us again. We are waiting for your good news on Mount Sumeru. By the way, this Bodhi seed is blessed by the power of our holy path, which obscures the secrets of heaven. As long as you don't take it directly to Yuanshi, he won't find out."

As soon as the sound faded, Ran Deng was jolted awake, realizing he was still in the cave.

However, in his hand, there was now a golden Bodhi seed.

The words of Cundi and Jieyin still echoed in his ears, and the Bodhi seeds in his hands were burning hot.

But after waiting for a long time, the lamp was not discarded; instead, it was quietly put away.

He was indeed somewhat disheartened by the Chan Sect. Since the sages were no longer human, he, Ran Deng, also did not need to be human!

A few days later, on Kunlun Mountain, the Jade Cauldron Immortal descended the mountain carrying a sword that could slay immortals.

In the lower realm, there is Hao City, the capital of Emperor Ku.

Today is an extraordinary day for Emperor Ku, as his eldest son was born.

Emperor Ku had high hopes for his eldest son, and named him Emperor Zhi!

Nine Heavens, Jade Cauldron Immortal, with his supreme supernatural powers, observed the veins and directions of human destiny, and frowned.

"Could it be that Emperor Zhi is the next human emperor?"

After thinking it over, Yu Ding, taking a cautious approach, did not go directly to Hao City, but instead decided to observe the situation first.

Three years later, Emperor Ku's second son, Yao, was born.

Afterwards, Emperor Ku's offspring continued to multiply, eventually forming a football team.

On this day, the fortune of humanity suddenly shifted, flowing from Emperor Ku to Emperor Zhi.

Yu Ding's heart stirred. "It seems that this Emperor Zhi should be the next emperor of the human race."

Yu Ding flew to Hao City, revealed his identity as a celestial being of the Chan Sect, and became Emperor Zhi's teacher.

Time flies, and more than 20 years have passed in the blink of an eye.

As Emperor Ku's sons grew up, Yu Ding was very troubled because after teaching Emperor Zhi for so many years, he discovered that Emperor Zhi was a person without great ambition.

A person with a weak character can barely maintain the operation of the court when he encounters an upright and incorruptible minister.

However, once he encounters treacherous and wicked officials, he will immediately become an extremely foolish ruler.

Over the years, Master Yuding has tried every means to change Emperor Zhi's personality, but all his efforts have failed.

Compared to Emperor Ku's other sons, aside from being the eldest son and receiving 90% of Emperor Ku's fatherly love,

They had nothing else to offer, and compared to their brothers, they were utterly worthless. Even Master Yuding couldn't stand it anymore.

On the contrary, Emperor Ku's son Yao was tenacious and unyielding, possessing the spirit of an ancient emperor, and his will was firm and unyielding.

No matter what kind of hard or tiring work was assigned to Yao, he was able to complete the task excellently.

Yao gradually won the support of many ministers under Emperor Ku.

Yao thought that after his father attained enlightenment and went to the ancestral land of the human race to suppress the destiny, he would pass on the position of the supreme ruler to him.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Ku made a mistake at the very last moment.

Because she greatly admired Emperor Zhi's mother, Changyi, she defied public opinion and insisted on passing the throne to Emperor Zhi.

Although Yao was helpless, the imperial decree was greater than heaven's will, and he had no choice but to agree.

Yu Ding was very surprised. Unexpectedly, by a twist of fate, the position of the supreme ruler still fell into the hands of Emperor Zhi.

But Yu Ding never expected that Di Zhi was a hopeless case who started causing trouble as soon as he became the ruler.

Even though Yu Ding tried his best to persuade him, Di Zhi wouldn't listen. Instead, he went his own way, acting foolishly and ignorantly.

Yu Ding had no choice but to let it run rampant.

Emperor Zhi reigned for only nine years before being forced by his ministers to abdicate in favor of Yao.

Nine Heavens, the fortunes of humanity were stirred up, and the fortunes that were originally on Emperor Zhi fell entirely on Yao.

Yao extended a sincere invitation to Yu Ding, inviting him to work under his patronage.

Yu Ding naturally agreed. After Yao ascended the throne, he did not kill his elder brother, but simply imprisoned him in the capital.

In addition, Pingyang, another city, was designated as the new capital.

After that, Yao began to carry out sweeping reforms, the first of which was the cumbersome official system.

From the Emperor to now, the time has been too long, with successive generations of rulers developing the country.

The official system has undergone tremendous changes and is no longer what it was originally intended to be.

There are more and more officials who only eat food and do nothing, which is a heavy burden on the national treasury.

Therefore, Yao made a precise decision to reform the official system. This move angered the interests of the ministers, who opposed it.

Furthermore, since each tribe at this time had its own written language, recording and organizing them was too difficult. Helpless, Yao had no choice but to temporarily abandon the reform.

During Yao's twenty-year reign, the country prospered, and the granaries were full, ensuring that people had enough to eat and wear.

Yu Ding devoted himself to assisting Yao.

I bet on the wrong horse before, and now there's no way I can become the Imperial Tutor.

Right now, all I can do is wholeheartedly assist Yao, hoping to accumulate more merit so that I can attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

On this day, nine days ago, a bright star shone for a long time before falling to earth.

In the capital city of Pingyang, Yao stood on the Star Gazing Platform, gazing at the bright stars. He felt a strange sensation in his heart and couldn't stop smiling.

"Our human race is about to produce a genius of unparalleled talent!"

Yao had a premonition that his chance to attain enlightenment might lie on this great star.
