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

"A great calamity, are you about to unleash a great calamity?" A fierce glint flashed between Laozi's brows. The previous great calamities had all caused damage to the primordial world.

Now that a great enemy is approaching, you are willing to cause a great calamity for the sake of your disciples. You are truly a good master.

The coiled dragon-shaped crutch and the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi appeared simultaneously. Laozi Yuanshi slowly rose, coldly looking at Tongtian: "You're getting more and more regressive as you get older. Relying on my and your second brother's soft hearts, you can't distinguish between what's important and what's urgent, can you?"

What we did before was for you, not because we were your disciples!

For the sake of those wicked creatures, you actually intend to do something that harms heaven and earth. I think you want to be beaten.

"Big brother, second brother, calm down! That's not what I meant!"

"I think the disciples can have a battle, and the winner will be listed on the list in their physical form."

"No, no, no, I don't think the disciples of the Chan Sect are weak!"

"My disciples from the Jie Sect are indeed very strong."

"I truly have no intention of destroying the primordial world!"

"Don't hit me in the face!"

"Master, save me!!!"

A cloud of dust rose, and Laozi, the Primordial Beginning, bowed to the person above him, saying, "This disciple has been presumptuous."

Hongjun watched a good show and naturally didn't think much of it, simply shaking his head with a smile to indicate that he didn't care.

The two sat back down on the prayer mats, satisfied, and let out a long sigh of relief. Finally, they felt comfortable!

For so many years, I've been worried sick about Tongtian, and I've had to accommodate him in every way. Today, I've finally gotten my revenge.

Haotian held a recording stone in his hand, muttering to himself, "If I put it in the Merit Merchant Guild, someone would probably buy it for a million merit coins!"

"No!" Tongtian, lying on the ground, let out a heart-wrenching roar, "Junior brother, no!"

A smile flashed across Haotian's face as he flipped his hand and put away the recording stone. The others watched the farce unfold. Hongjun chuckled and shook his head: "Get up. Is the floor of Zixiao Palace comfortable to lie on?"

Tongtian stood up dejectedly, sat back down on the futon, and forced himself to cheer up: "I didn't want my disciples to go to the Heavenly Court before, but that was for their sake. Now, I'm striving for this opportunity to let them pass the imperial examination in their physical bodies, but that's still for their sake."

"Our Jie Sect is here to seize a glimmer of hope for them. No matter what my elder brothers say, even if they beat me up again, I will accept it, but we must have a contest."

"What exactly do you want!" Yuanshi said impatiently.

"There are many sages in the primordial world now. If we are careful, we will not harm the heavens and earth," Tongtian said in a deep voice. "The Heavenly Emperor does not agree to my disciples of the Jie Sect being listed on the list in their physical bodies. As their master, I must fight for their survival."

"After this, I accept victory or defeat!"

Haotian raised an eyebrow. Did this mean that a battle was inevitable?

Tongtian looked straight at me. Even if you are the referee, you can't just declare me the loser by not letting my Jie Sect sit on the table!

"How do you intend to fight?" Haotian asked with great interest.

"Our Jie Sect excels in formations. Our disciples set up formations, and you are to break them. If you can break them, you win, and the person who breaks the formation will be listed on the honor roll. If you cannot break them, our disciples will be listed on the honor roll."

Zhunti sneered, "The Ten Thousand Immortals of the Jie Sect, you think you can fight against the three sects with just one sect?"

Tongtian remained silent: "Why not!"

"What about the rogue cultivators of the primordial world!" Yaochi said with displeasure. "There are places on the Investiture of the Gods reserved for rogue cultivators. Are the disciples of the sages so noble that they exclude rogue cultivators as well?"

She is not a saint, but her position as Empress of Heaven is enough for her to speak with saints on equal terms.

Haotian nodded: "Junior sister is right. Are you excluding rogue cultivators?"

Tongtian took a deep breath: "Anyone below the Quasi-Saint level is welcome to challenge my Jie Sect disciples!"

What a spirited and charismatic saint of the Jie Sect! But Tongtian's face was bruised and swollen, making him rather unconvincing.

"Very well!" Yuanshi agreed readily, then gave a cold laugh. "I'll see just how remarkable your disciples are!"

Laozi glanced at Zhunti, a flash of anger in his eyes. He had not yet made any arrangements for Xuandu, the only one left in the Other Sect, but even in the battle against the Intercepting Sect, no one dared to harm his disciples.

Moreover, it's just one spot; even if Xuan doesn't fight, the Heavenly Emperor will still grant it.

But wouldn't this make it seem like the second brother is teaming up with outsiders to deal with the third brother?

Yuanshi is such a fool. Tongtian is right now. But when things really come to a head, he doesn't believe Tongtian won't act rashly!

so tired!

The old man sighed, "Both of my younger brothers are debt collectors!"

"I have something to say about this matter." Fuxi stood up, looking at the Heavenly Sage who had settled the matter in just a few words, his face showing displeasure. Shennong and Xuanyuan also stood up one after another, their expressions unpleasant.

"Teacher Taiqing and Fellow Daoist Yuanshi once insisted that we agree to make the Jie Sect the state religion of the Great Shang Dynasty for the sake of Fellow Daoist Tongtian."

"Now that you've established these rules, have you considered the harm you might cause to our human race?!"

The Jie Sect is already bound to the human race. If the Jie Sect wins, that's fine, but if they lose, the human race's fortune will also be damaged. You all have a great discussion, but you haven't asked for our Huoyun Cave's opinion.

Our human race also has sages!

The three Pure Ones froze, while Jieyin and Zhunti looked timid, having truly forgotten about this matter.

"With the defeat of the Jie Sect, the human race's fortunes will inevitably decline, and a great calamity will befall them. This is detrimental to humanity. Brother Tongtian, you should think of another solution." Nuwa also spoke slowly, echoing the Three Sovereigns.

Tongtian hesitated. This was the best and most beneficial method he could think of for the disciples of the Jie Sect!

He himself cannot easily go into battle, as the impact of a saint's battle is too great, and the slightest carelessness could destroy the primordial world.

"Heavenly Emperor, you are the master of immortals and gods, and the holy father of humankind. You should also express your opinion on this matter." Nuwa saw that the others were silent and wanted Haotian to directly veto the matter.

"Actually, it's not impossible to eliminate the damage to the human race's fortune!"

"Junior brother has a solution?" Tongtian's eyes lit up immediately.

Haotian nodded: "The method of changing dynasties will suffice."

Yuanshi raised his head, his tone calm: "Does the Heavenly Emperor mean that we support a nation, while the Jie Sect clings to the Shang Dynasty? Whichever side wins, that nation will become the new dynasty of humanity. Is this in line with the evolution of humankind?"

"That's right, that's exactly what I meant!" Haotian chuckled.

"A change of dynasty will inevitably cause harm to the human race." A look of pity flashed in Shennong's eyes. "Moreover, how easy is it to establish a new dynasty? The Human Emperor is not someone that an ordinary person can assume."

"The Shang Dynasty has been established for thousands of years. If managed properly, it will be a normal development for the human race," Tongtian said calmly.

For the sake of his disciples, he couldn't care less about anything else.

"What about the Emperor's fortune?" Xuanyuan asked directly. "Unless it's the end of a dynasty, the Emperor's fortune won't transfer."

"I can intervene in this matter!" Haotian suddenly spoke up. "I can spare a wisp of imperial fortune and bestow it upon the new ruler of the dynasty."

"What!" Yaochi exclaimed in shock, immediately getting up from the futon. The other saints also looked over in horror.

The Heavenly Emperor's Imperial Fortune—he almost killed his own son for this very thing!

"You heard me right! I can bestow a wisp of imperial destiny to help humanity change dynasties!"

Fuxi glanced at him cautiously: "The Heavenly Emperor's favor is too great for the human race to bear; we dare not."

Haotian smiled gently: "Since I have said so, I naturally have my reasons."

"What does the Heavenly Emperor intend to do?" Nuwa asked cautiously, stroking the creation whip hidden in her sleeve.

"I am the lord of immortals and gods, the Great Emperor of Fengdu is also the Son of Heaven of the Underworld, and the common ruler of the human race can be called the Human Emperor, but I am the Holy Father of the human race. Fellow Daoists, what do you think about changing the title of Human Emperor to Son of Heaven in the future?"
