"Leader Shaodian, I am Guangchengzi, a disciple of the Primordial Sage of Kunlun Jade Void Palace. I have come here on my master's orders to take your child as my disciple."

A man dressed in a purple robe with a trigram symbol stood on a cloud, patiently introducing himself to a middle-aged man in the tribe who was holding a child.

"So he is a disciple of a sage." Shaodian was overjoyed. His child was born with extraordinary signs and was taught by a disciple of a sage. Wouldn't he be able to become the common ruler of the human race, just like the former Earth Emperor Shennong?

"My child is fortunate to receive instruction from an immortal master..."

As Shaodian was speaking, the void suddenly darkened, and Guangchengzi's upturned lips froze on his face, not understanding why such a strange phenomenon had occurred.

"Chief, the lady has given birth to a second son." An old woman hurriedly carried another infant out of the stone house. The child was covered in a layer of moisture, and surprisingly, his eyes were one black and one white, like the yin and yang symbols.

"This..." Guang Chengzi was shocked. The future Human Emperor had a twin brother. So which one was the Human Emperor?

Shaodian was overjoyed. For the human race today, there is no greater achievement than increasing the population. He was able to have two children at once, which meant that their Youxiong tribe was going to prosper!

Yin and Yang energies swept across the void, cleaving through the darkness. The Five Spirits rushed in from the horizon, with the roar of dragons, the cry of phoenixes, the howl of unicorns, the howl of tigers, and the neighing of Xuanwu. The Five Spirits, like a celestial chariot, completely banished the darkness.

Guang Chengzi stood there dumbfounded, staring in shock at the two people who had arrived.

"Disciple Guang Chengzi greets Grand Master Uncle, Great Heavenly Venerable." Guang Chengzi dared not be negligent and quickly bowed to the two of them.

Shaodian's expression hardened, and she hugged her two children tightly.

"This child should be my disciple." Laozi's aged voice resounded through the void, causing Guang Chengzi's expression to change drastically, because this senior master was referring to the second child born.

But the one who responded to the Big Dipper and was supposed to be the first to fight was clearly the one who came out to fight!

Moreover, the last time the eldest master took on a disciple was Emperor Fuxi, and wasn't the Human Emperor supposed to be handed over to them for instruction in the Chan Sect?

This is the place where the Human Emperor was born, as instructed by the Great Celestial Venerable to our Master!

Guang Chengzi dared not refute his grandmaster's will, and could only look to the side, wanting to hear what this Heavenly Emperor had to say.

After all, this man is still the Holy Father of the Human Race!

"This child cannot be kept!" Haotian's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and his voice boomed in Laozi's ears with anger. His luck was already flowing away, constantly flowing towards the child in Shaodian's arms.

His fingertips moved faster than lightning, heading straight for the steaming baby.

Lao Tzu blinked, and the Yin and Yang energies transformed into a Tai Chi symbol to block his fingers.

Haotian asked in a hoarse voice, "Does Senior Brother intend to oppose me?"

"boom--"

The mountains and rivers trembled, and the void collapsed, as if long-suppressed anger erupted like a volcano. Guang Chengzi groaned, and Laozi quickly pulled him behind him.

"The Heavenly Emperor has lost his composure." Laozi said calmly, but as he spoke, Haotian's killing intent condensed, and a solemn look flashed in his eyes. The two paths of heaven and earth began to converge, and a saintly aura truly emerged.

If he were to master the Way of Humanity, even without attaining the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, it's uncertain whether Jieyin and Zhunti could defeat him!

"Please, Heavenly Emperor, calm your anger!"

"Please, Heavenly Emperor, calm your anger!"

Voices came from the sky, a golden phoenix spread its wings and carried Nuwa; nine dragons roared in unison, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable sat in the Nine Dragon Sandalwood Chariot; Tongtian rode the Kui Niu; Jieyin stepped on a golden lotus, and Zhunti walked on golden clouds.

"唳——"

Five phoenixes cried out in unison, and a graceful goddess arrived riding the Five Phoenix Soaring Chariot. Standing beside Haotian, she looked at the second child in Shaodian's arms, a hint of gloom flashing in her eyes, but she still took Haotian's hand and said in a deep voice, "Senior brothers and sisters, are you going to oppose my Heavenly Court?"

"roar--"

The colors of blue and red shimmered as the Heavenly Emperor Fuxi and the Earthly Emperor Shennong rode dragons, while a yellow divine light rose from the underworld, as they arrived riding jade rams.

"Please calm your anger, Heavenly Emperor. Since this child has been born, it means that this is the will of Heaven." Compassion flashed in Fuxi's eyes. After all, he was now a human being, how could he watch a human child die before his eyes?

"Is that so?" Haotian's lips curled into a mocking smile as he looked up at the sky. "Isn't it predetermined by the will of Heaven?"

Heaven's will! No wonder I've had such a smooth journey since becoming the Heavenly Emperor; it turns out I started this all along!

"Heaven is truly merciful!" Yaochi sneered. "What this child represents, all of you senior brothers understand. Do you really intend to stop him?"

Yaochi spoke sharply, her slender hand pointing at the child in Shaodian's arms: "Don't you understand what that destiny represents?"

The saints remained silent. Nine small purple-gold dragons appeared on the top of the infant's head. The dragon horns were tender and the dragon scales were small, but the roars were powerful.

More importantly, as the nine dragons murmured, the imperial destiny emanating from Haotian's body trembled slightly.

The three Pure Ones stood together, while Lao Tzu's expression was complex.

Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with excitement.

Nuwa stood with the two emperors of heaven and earth and said in a deep voice, "I urge the Heavenly Emperor not to forget his place."

You are truly the Holy Father of humanity!

The numerous humans below watched as the saints gathered in the void, with even the Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress appearing one after another. They all knelt down and paid homage to the Heavenly Emperor and Earthly Emperor, and to the Holy Father and Holy Mother.

Shao Dian, holding two infants, was bewildered. All he could see was divine light filling the void, and an extremely terrifying pressure permeating the air.

Houtu sighed in her heart, "It's all fate and destiny. Originally, Chi You still had a chance to fight back, but now this son of Shaodian has a great opportunity, and Chi You has been reincarnated in vain."

She looked at Haotian and said apologetically, "Fellow Daoist, it was my carelessness!"

Looking at the gazes of the saints, Haotian realized that even with his junior sister's support, he couldn't make a move now!

With his and Yaochi's combined strength, he could manage to deal with Senior Brother Taiqing with all his might, but if the Three Pure Ones joined forces, he would be no match for them!

Not to mention, Jieyin and Zhunti would not hesitate to watch him make a fool of himself and would definitely stop him.

"Junior brother, you are the Holy Father of the human race after all, how can you treat him like this..." Zhunti chuckled as he "advised" him, his eyes full of mockery, but he was suddenly struck by a palm, which sent him flying backward, spitting blood.

"Go back!" Laozi's hair and beard bristled, his anger flaring, and he glared sternly at Jieyin.

Jieyin's mind trembled as he realized that his junior brother was trying to expose Haotian's intention to kill human beings despite being the Holy Father of the human race, thus undermining Haotian's faith among humans and angering his senior brother.

"Yes, this humble Taoist takes his leave. Please calm down, Senior Brother." Jieyin transformed into a stream of light and pulled Zhunti back to Mount Sumeru. He didn't even see how Laozi made his move. How could the difference between two saints be so great?

Laozi remained silent for a moment: "Junior brother, we have known each other for many years, and you should know my character."

Haotian sneered: "Indeed, we have known each other for many years. My master has been in seclusion, while my senior brother has led the saints to coerce me. With this boy in my hands, how can I feel at ease?"

"I will not do anything to you!" Laozi's eyelids trembled. "This boy is indeed closely related to my Human Sect."

"You may not know how, but this boy does!" Yaochi roared angrily. "Senior Brother treats his junior brother of many years like this for a disciple he hasn't even formally accepted into the sect. How can we trust you?"

"Brother." Tongtian looked at the child in Shaodian's arms with a reluctant expression, his expression somewhat helpless.

"Heaven above, and Father God Pangu as witness, I, Taiqing, swear that if I ever use this child to harm my junior brother Haotian, I am willing to suffer the punishment of having my Dao foundation shattered and be expelled from my master's sect." Laozi's voice suddenly resounded throughout the space, and no one else could hear it except for the few people present.

His cold gaze swept over Nuwa and Houtu. Fuxi and Shennong were startled by his gaze, and even Jieyin and Zhunti, who had returned to Mount Sumeru, trembled.

"You must not use this child as a pretext, otherwise..." Laozi had not finished speaking when Yuanshi Tongtian stood beside him, the auras of the Three Pure Ones merged into one, and Nuwa and the others who met the gazes of the three instantly lowered their heads.

"Boom—"

A thunderous roar resounded in everyone's ears; the vow had been fulfilled!

Haotian closed his eyes as he watched Laozi's movements, gradually suppressing the killing intent in his heart. His luck had stopped flowing away, and a cold smile appeared on his lips. He actually had more luck than Longji had when he was born.

However, I have glimpsed the secrets of heaven: crisis and opportunity. What does the latter refer to?

"With the birth of this child, darkness descends, and he shall be called Xuan Tian!" Haotian took a deep breath, looking at the second child in Shaodian's arms, his voice calm.

Flowers fell from the sky, and sweet springs appeared on the earth, giving life to countless plants and trees, and relieving the people within a radius of tens of millions of miles of land from their illnesses.

The words of the Heavenly Emperor are lawful and immeasurable!

"Thank you, Holy Father, for bestowing a name upon my son." Shaodian Shi also realized what was happening and quickly kowtowed.

Haotian snorted lightly, "Little brat, you call me that so affectionately!"

"Please instruct me, Senior Brother. I want to see what kind of skills he has!" Haotian snorted, and a beam of black light fell from the auspicious clouds. Black lotuses descended, radiating the fluctuations of top-grade innate spiritual treasures, enveloping Xuantian.

Watching the Five Spirits Heavenly Chariot and the Five Phoenix Soaring Sky Chariot depart, Laozi sighed, "Shaodian, I have taken Xuantian as my second disciple. He will only cultivate the immortal path with me."

"Guang Chengzi, you should continue taking on disciples." Yuan Shi glanced uneasily at his elder brother and whispered to Guang Chengzi.
