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

"The Zhou Tian Star Array is indeed not to be lost. Xuan Tian is not yet worthy of this divine position. In the future, he will be the Great Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole Central Heaven."

Haotian spoke slowly, while Yaochi looked displeased: "This power is a bit too much."

With his control over the celestial bodies and the future changes in the human race, the Ziwei Emperor could be considered a second-rate ruler of the Three Realms.

"I am currently gathering fortune to break through, but in the future I will also delegate some authority. An emperor is never alone; I also need others to assist me!"

Yaochi sighed, "Never mind, as long as it won't harm my senior brother."

Seeing the burning gazes of the saints, Haotian chuckled. These guys had long coveted the fortune of the Heavenly Court. He was able to carve out a Ziwei Emperor, so naturally he also had other powerful divine positions.

"Your Majesty, my disciple Nanji Zi is a manifestation of innate blessings and longevity, with such exceptional qualities..." Yuanshi spoke first.

"Your Majesty, this humble Daoist sect has four direct disciples, each with extraordinary talent..." Tongtian followed closely behind.

Haotian chuckled: "No need, I can't afford to use disciples of the Jie Sect."

Zhunti chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, Maitreya has received instruction from you and greatly admires you!"

Yaochi was speechless and gave this guy a disdainful look. As expected of someone who regarded the saint's noodles as nothing, he could actually say such things.

However, according to my senior brother's classification, even if the fortune enjoyed by a Great Emperor is not as great as that of a Saint, it is still greater than that of an ordinary Quasi-Saint Great Supernatural Being.

"This matter should be discussed after the great calamity. Fellow Daoists, let's focus on the present matter first," Haotian shook his head.

He looked at the Three Sovereigns: "After Xuan Tian attains the quasi-sainthood, he will become the Ziwei Emperor."

"We respectfully obey Your Majesty's decree." The three emperors bowed in unison. Xuan Tian had only recently attained the Great Luo Dao, and his attainment of the Quasi-Saint Dao would surely come after the Great Tribulation. As for the Emperor Star, it would be fine to let Kunpeng temporarily take over.

All the preparations made by the primordial world now are for facing the great calamity. With the overwhelming force pressing down, no one can stop it.

"In that case, the charter shall be set forth here. This great calamity, jointly propelled by all the sages of the heavens, shall be called the Investiture of the Gods Calamity!"

As Haotian spoke, the expressions of the saints shifted slightly. They were all connected to the Three Paths, and as soon as the Heavenly Emperor finished speaking, they instantly felt that the primordial world was already filled with calamity energy, just like every great calamity in the past.

Heaven, Earth, and Man are all working together to propel this great eon; this is the common will of all the sages of the heavens!

"Good! We will distinguish the jade stones during this great eon, and whoever wins will be on the list!" Tongtian's voice was filled with excitement. Although the result was not entirely satisfactory, the Jie Sect was at least able to achieve fairness.

He did everything he was supposed to do as his master did, disregarding the Heavenly Emperor's feelings for him, and repeatedly acted willfully because his elder brothers were soft-hearted.

If he loses the battle, then it's not his fault!

Tongtian bowed to Laozi and Yuanshi, his voice choked with emotion: "Thank you for your care over the years, elder brothers."

"You are my third brother, how can I not take care of you?" Yuanshi shook his head. His third brother was a responsibility that he and his eldest brother shared. They came from the same source and could never be separated.

"Get up, why are you so distant from us?" Laozi helped Tongtian up and quietly pointed to the head of the table.

A look of heartache flashed in Yuanshi's eyes as he removed the holy power from Tongtian's face, and Tongtian's injuries were fully healed.

His eyes flickered slightly, and he bowed to Haotian: "Junior brother's good intentions are not beyond my understanding, but I had no choice but to do this for the sake of my disciples. I will apologize to you after the great calamity is over."

Haotian chuckled and used a gentle force to help him up!

Jieyin and Zhunti watched this scene with wide eyes. They were fighting to the death just a moment ago, and now they've made up?

Hongjun stroked his beard and said, "I knew the Three Pure Ones' disciples and Haotian wouldn't really have a conflict!"

"Senior Brother Yuanshi, recently a primordial spirit pearl in my Nuwa Palace has shown unusual phenomena. I wonder if it is possible for me to become a disciple of the Chan Sect?" Nuwa smiled at Yuanshi, and a spinning bead appeared at her fingertip.

The fist-sized orb emitted the sound of children's laughter, flying around in the void, surrounded by red clouds, and had already developed sentience.

Jieyin and Zhunti glanced at Tongtian silently. Was Sister Nuwa about to take sides?

"Yes, this child is destined to be Taiyi's disciple, and should become his disciple." Yuanshi agreed without hesitation.

Since Nuwa had chosen the Chan Sect, there was no need for her to push people away.

"Lingzhuzi, go!" Nuwa smiled and pushed the round pearl out.

"Let's go play, let's go play!" Lingzhuzi exclaimed happily, and was then put into Yuanshi's sleeve.

Tongtian remained calm, his gaze sweeping over the saints. He had done all he could, and there was no need for them to disturb his peace of mind.

Nuwa remained calm. Although most of the members of the Jie Sect were demons, she was not foolish. The Jie Sect had earned the right to sit on the table, but judging from the Heavenly Emperor's attitude, he would certainly not support the Jie Sect.

She would never stand on the sinking ship that is the Jie Sect!

Haotian watched as Nuwa's lips moved slightly, causing her to stiffen for a moment before her eyes lit up with joy: "Is this true?"

Haotian nodded, and Nuwa looked at Houtu, who also nodded slightly. She bowed to the two of them and said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Pingxin, thank you, Heavenly Emperor."

"I made this choice for the sake of the primordial world. If it were him, I hope he would not let down the Heavenly Court."

Nuwa's expression hardened: "Your Majesty, rest assured, he wouldn't dare."

Auspicious clouds unfolded, and two streams of light descended: "These are the Heavenly Light Divine Blade and the Jade Serpent Light-Separating Scissors. One is a gift of thanks to His Majesty, and the other is for him. Consider this Empress Nuwa's early congratulations on his attainment of enlightenment."

Haotian looked at this pile of spiritual treasures. There were nine Heavenly Light Divine Blades and five Light-Separating Scissors, all of which exuded the fluctuations of top-grade innate spiritual treasures. Although they did not have forty-eight restrictions, they were still extremely extraordinary.

"In that case, I will accept them!" Haotian nodded, and the two spiritual treasures flew into his sleeve. The saints looked at the three people's actions with confusion, but they must have said something through telepathy.

Jieyin and Zhunti sighed silently; these were two more top-grade innate spiritual treasures.

Hongjun watched this scene with great interest. These two items were obtained by Nuwa's disciple from the Treasure Sharing Rock, and she was quite generous in giving them away.

"Now that this matter is settled, you may all return and prepare." Hongjun waved his whisk, and the saints bowed and took their leave.

"Junior sister, go back and take care of the Heavenly Court. I have something to discuss with Master."

Yaochi nodded and bowed to the person at the head of the table: "This disciple takes her leave."

Upon hearing what he said, the saints paused in their departing steps but did not stop.

The gates of Zixiao Palace slowly closed, and Haotian sighed as he looked at the Investiture of the Gods in his hand.

How unpredictable life is! Who could have imagined that this treasure, which even the immortals and gods of the primordial era would avoid at all costs, would now be regarded as a priceless gem by all the saints?

Now, only the winner gets to make the list!

"Why are you sighing? The Heavenly Court is sitting on its laurels, it doesn't need to get involved, it just needs to wait for them to decide the winner," Hongjun said with a smile. This disciple of his is now the strongest among all the saints, so what worries could he have?

"This disciple is merely expressing some感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions or reflections)," Haotian shook his head.

Hongjun paused for a moment, then said solemnly, "Disciple, I never expected you to do such a remarkable job. That Azure Lotus Banner..."

Haotian raised his head, and the master and disciple looked at each other and sighed at the same time.

If I had known this would happen, why did I do it?

"This flag belongs to the East; I will find a chance to take it back!"

"That's good." Hongjun stroked his beard, thinking, "I'm leaving it to my disciples to clean up this mess!"

However, his disciples are so easy to manage, and he's also very lucky!

"What do you want to ask if you're staying?"

Haotian put away the Investiture of the Gods and said softly, "With the Five Realms attacking, I wonder if there are other demon gods lurking among them. Could Master perhaps contact Senior Yangmei?"
