Transmigrating into Haotian, ruling the Three Pure Ones and pacifying the primordial world.

"Heaven has already made its move without our knowledge, even deceiving my master." Haotian looked at the five sages, "This child will surely be my calamity."

Master probably only thought he would be his descendant, and probably never expected that this child was born to inherit the destiny of heaven.

The Heavenly Dao was suppressed by Master Hongjun during the Emperor-Slaying War, but secretly pulled this trick, presumably to sever his path to enlightenment.

Indeed, the Way of Heaven is spiritual but not wise, regarding all things as straw dogs, and all things operate according to their own laws, but absolutely nothing can be above the Way of Heaven!

The five saints remained silent. Haotian's path to becoming an emperor was his own path to enlightenment. If he were to abdicate the throne as the Heavenly Emperor, he would only become an ordinary Grand Luo Golden Immortal in the future.

"We have come here to give you our assurance." Laozi took Xuantian from Nuwa's hands and looked at Haotian, saying softly, "Sever his imperial destiny, and he will only be the son of Haotian, not the son of the Heavenly Emperor."

Yaochi's mind stirred. Although she was annoyed that her senior brother had suddenly gained an extra child, compared to his safety, this matter was nothing.

"Are you sure?" Yaochi asked urgently.

"Thirty percent." Tongtian replied after a moment of silence. Yaochi's face darkened, knowing that thirty percent was already more than enough. With the Heavenly Dao taking action, the Three Pure Ones were powerless to stop it.

"If the Dao Ancestor comes out of seclusion, and I join him, we should have an 80% chance," Houtu added quietly, knowing that this matter was ultimately related to their Wu clan.

Haotian remained silent. His master was probably engrossed in the origin of the Heavenly Dao at the moment, and it was unknown when he would emerge from seclusion. After all, his master had not even responded to the matter of deciding the protagonist of Heaven and Earth.

If Master knew about the great commotion caused by Xuan Tian's birth, he would have come to the Heavenly Court long ago, given his concern for him.

"Let's seal it first." Haotian threw out the Chaos Bell, which landed in Tongtian's hand. "Senior Brother Sanqing holds the Three Treasures of Creation. Eldest Brother, may I borrow the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda?"

Laozi paused for a moment, then took out the exquisite little pagoda and handed it to Houtu under Haotian's gaze. Haotian's auspicious clouds unfolded, revealing a purple-gold radiance, and the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler fell in front of Nuwa.

Amidst the shocked and astonished gazes of the crowd, he calmly said, "My sages, make your move. My fate rests in your hands."

The Three Pure Ones smiled wryly. The Primordial Measuring Ruler, a treasure of acquired merit, had actually fallen into Haotian's hands. What a blessing!

Nuwa sighed; there was still something hidden.

Laozi understood that the task of revitalizing the Human Sect had fallen to Xuantian, and that his insistence on protecting this child had offended Haotian. Now that this treasure had been exposed, it was no wonder that he spoke in a bad tone.

"Please do your best, Junior Sister." Laozi turned his head to look at Nuwa. Only a sage can unleash the full power of the innate treasure. Houtu felt guilty, and the ancestral witch's character was guaranteed, so she wouldn't do anything underhanded.

But Nuwa was, after all, the Demon Queen Nuwa, and they couldn't guarantee that she didn't have other intentions.

Nuwa took a deep breath and forced a smile, saying, "My brother is now the Emperor of the Human Race, so please rest assured, fellow disciples."

Houtu also looked over. The Primordial Measuring Ruler and the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda can be considered to have the same origin. When the two are combined, their power will surpass any other supreme treasure in the primordial world.

Yaochi took Haotian's hand and called Longji back. She saw the Primordial Profound Qi appear on the Three Pure Ones and merge with the Three Treasures of Creation.

In an instant, a sharp power, seemingly containing the power to create the world, appeared in the Dragon Virtue Palace. The vast chaotic aura made all the gods bow their heads, and even the barrier they had set up began to crack. The terrifying pressure made Nuwa take a few steps back, while Houtu was moved to tears.

"Sister—" Nuwa reminded her, and the Measuring Ruler emitted a bright purple-gold light. Houtu came to her senses and pushed the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda. The two acquired treasures of merit gradually approached each other, and then emitted a pressure that far exceeded that of innate treasures.

It felt as if a colossal giant was wielding an axe and cleaving down. Haotian felt the axe's light blazing down, and even his own body was cracking. Then he heard two female voices shout, "Suppress!"

A mysterious purple-gold mark landed on the axe's edge, concealing all its power. Even Haotian, using his divine eyes, could not understand it. The two beams of light merged and gently landed on Xuantian's forehead, sealing all the strange phenomena.

The nine small purple-gold dragons, listless and exhausted, fell into Xuan Tian's body and could no longer have any effect on Hao Tian.

"call--"

A gentle breeze blew by, and the Three Pure Ones turned pale. The Pangu Axe disintegrated and transformed back into the Taiji Diagram, the Pangu Banner, and the Chaos Bell, which floated quietly in the void.

Nuwa and Houtu had complex expressions as they threw out their treasures, the Primordial Measuring Ruler and the Chaos Bell, which fell back in front of Haotian.

Laozi said in a deep voice, "We can only do this much. Before Xuan Tian attains the quasi-sainthood, we will not be a hindrance to you."

Haotian nodded. The sense of crisis that had been looming over him had subsided. Even if he were to attain the quasi-saint level, he would already be a Primordial Golden Immortal.

"After Master emerges from seclusion, we will ask for your assistance once again."

"Okay!" Lao Tzu agreed without hesitation.

Seeing that everyone had given up, Longji asked innocently, "Can I see my little brother now?"

Yaochi's expression was complicated. Haotian nodded: "Go."

Longji ran happily to Nuwa's side, looking around with his big eyes, and exclaimed in surprise, "My little brother is so small!"

Nuwa lovingly stroked her tender little face: "Longji is a born god, while your younger brother is just a mortal, so they are naturally different."

"What is a mortal?" Longji asked with a curious expression.

"It's a race, the human race. You'll understand when you grow up." Nuwa patted her head, sighing.

Yaochi's eyes softened, while Haotian remained silent, watching Xuantian laughing incessantly as Longji teased him, and sighed.

Time is also fate!

Xuantian Shangdi, Zhenwu Dangmo Dadi, was a manifestation of a wisp of the divine soul of Haotian Shangdi, appearing in the Golden Palace.

In later Taoism, this is the eighty-second transformation of Laozi!

"The Heavenly Emperor has no crown prince; please remember this, fellow Daoists." Haotian's gaze swept over the faces of the five sages, his expression cold and detached. "But I will make arrangements for this child's future; I will trouble my eldest brother to guide him."

"Humanity is causing trouble, so I will not keep you saints any longer."

The five sages rose, and Nuwa reluctantly sent Longji back to Yaochi: "Little Longji, how about you grow up and become your master's disciple?"

Longji quickly ran behind Yaochi, only her small head peeking out. Her father and mother had instructed her not to agree to anything from others.

"I want to listen to Father and Mother," Longji said in a childish voice.

"Little rascal." Nuwa smiled and gave a slight nod, then walked out of the Dragon Virtue Palace.

Haotian waved his sleeve, and a streak of light caught up with Houtu. She turned around, her eyes filled with excitement: "Our Wu Clan will definitely do everything in our power to help with this matter."

"Respectfully seeing off the Sage." Haotian Yaochi all bowed and watched the five sages leave Longde Palace.

"Isn't my younger brother staying in Heaven?" Longji looked up in confusion.

"He's going to learn Taoism from your grandmaster uncle." Haotian sat on the throne, holding Longji, and patiently explained, "Longji must promise Father and Mother that this matter must not be told to anyone."

"Good." Longji clapped her hands happily, and a power emanated from Haotian, imprinting itself on her soul. The servants outside Longde Palace blinked, feeling as if they had forgotten something.
