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

Longde Palace.

Haotian Yaochi took his seat, and Taibai Jinxing led all the saints to their seats as well.

Just as the Three Pure Ones were about to speak, Haotian looked directly at Bai Ze and asked, "How much merit do you need to merge with the Primordial Purple Qi?"

Bai Ze's white hair flowed freely, his expression calm. Only when he looked at the imperial throne did his gaze flicker with emotion—a flicker of faith, worship, and reverence for the Heavenly Emperor.

"Your Majesty, I am still short 30 billion merit coins," Bai Ze replied respectfully.

Haotian nodded slightly, and with a "clattering" sound, all the saints' eyes narrowed as they heard the pleasant sound of merit coins colliding.

Three hundred billion merits flowed down like a long river from the auspicious clouds of Haotian, almost drowning Bai Ze. He quickly stopped bowing and said, "Your Majesty, I thank you. After I attain enlightenment, I will surely..."

Haotian raised his palm, interrupting him: "You are the first person in this Heavenly Court to work for me. Many immortals and gods in the Heavenly Court were also introduced by you. You don't need to repay this merit. Just serve me in peace."

For him now, 30 billion in merit is nothing!

Bai Ze's eyes reddened, and tears streamed down his face as he suddenly looked up: "Your Majesty, I thank you."

He spoke each word carefully, as if trying to etch Haotian's image into the depths of his soul.

Hearing the firmness in his tone, the Three Pure Ones and Styx had mixed feelings. Back when the Heavenly Emperor captured Bai Ze on Mount Buzhou, who could have imagined that he would come to this day!

"Go then, and attain enlightenment as soon as possible. Your Bai Ze clan is knowledgeable about all things, and the Tu Shan Nine-Tailed Fox clan is also clever and intelligent. Your clansmen can enter the Three Thousand Realms for training, after all, some cultivators..."

Haotian didn't finish speaking, but everyone understood what he meant. Some immortals and gods in the prehistoric world were indeed unbalanced, focusing their cultivation on combat and only knowing how to fight and kill. To govern a realm, someone would definitely need to take care of it.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will inform Tushan." Bai Ze bowed and slowly withdrew.

"Is there anything else you want to say?" Haotian looked at the other saints. The Three Pure Ones sat calmly, and it was clear that His Majesty wanted to speak with them alone.

Nuwa rose and smiled gently: "Your Majesty, will the human race, created by the Three Thousand Worlds, be relocated to the Primordial World in the future?"

After all, they were only of the same origin, created by the Holy Father and Holy Mother, but they had never lived together.

"There's no need for that." Haotian shook his head. "The human race in the Three Thousand Worlds might undergo other changes. If they cultivate to become immortals and ascend to the primordial world, they will understand the vastness of heaven and earth."

Haotian looked at Nuwa and the Three Sovereigns solemnly and said, "I have told Senior Brother Taiqing that we should let go appropriately. Fellow Daoists should also understand this principle. As long as the human race is not in danger of extinction or its forward-looking philosophy is wrong, we only need to watch them grow."

"My imperial decree states that humanity is the protagonist of heaven and earth, therefore their position is forever unshakeable!"

The four men tensed up and said in deep voices, "We will obey His Majesty's decree."

Haotian nodded in satisfaction: "There are seven positions of Human Saint. Currently, only the Three Sovereigns have attained the Dao. Shao Hao, the leader of the Five Emperors, is my junior sister's disciple. He can attain the position of Human Saint."

Yaochi's eyes flickered, knowing that her senior brother was putting on a good show for her. After all, the fates of master and disciple were intertwined, and if Shaohao could attain enlightenment, it would also benefit her. At least a sage could influence the decisions of Huoyun Cave.

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty." Xuanyuan bowed. Shaohao was also his descendant; after all, the flesh rotted in his own family.

"Xuan Du is a primordial human, and one of the three thousand humans first created by Junior Sister Nuwa. The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors continuously helped the human race, and he has also contributed to the flourishing of the Human Sect in recent years. He deserves the position of a sage. What do you think, Senior Brother Taiqing?"

Laozi's body trembled, and he couldn't help but look at Xuantian: "Your Majesty, this..."

He had always thought that the Heavenly Emperor would leave the position of Human Saint to Xuan Tian, ​​after all, his junior brother Hao Tian had done a lot for him, and he was still the Lord of Humanity.

Xuan Tian chuckled and bowed to Laozi: "Master, just give it to Senior Brother. Father has already planned my future. In this great calamity, Senior Brother saved many immortals and gods. This should also be Father's reward for Senior Brother."

"Your Majesty, I thank you." Laozi bowed solemnly, understanding that this was the Heavenly Emperor returning the favor.

He wisely submitted to the emperor in the Hall of Fragrant Breeze, leaving the other saints and primordial gods with no choice but to follow suit, so that the Heavenly Emperor would not have to go to the trouble of using his power to force everyone to submit.

Haotian nodded in satisfaction. The saints who had disciples looked on with envy. It seemed that among the saints' disciples, his junior disciple Xuandu was the first to attain enlightenment!

"Thus, humanity has five sages. However, humanity is not limited to the human race. The greatest credit for humanity's current status goes to the dragon and phoenix races. Therefore, I bestow the last two sage positions upon the dragon and phoenix races."

The saints lowered their eyes and responded in unison.

Haotian's expression remained unchanged. The Dragon Clan did indeed deserve one, after all, the Dragon Clan had been taking care of the human race since its inception, and his Kongtong Seal was given to him by Zhulong. As for the Phoenix Clan, let's just consider it his personal preference.

Although the Phoenix Clan made significant contributions, these contributions were mainly attributed to Kong Xuan and Jin Peng. However, the two of them also made great contributions during this great calamity, using their golden words to kill many outer gods, leaving others with no grounds for criticism.

"Disciple thanks Master." Kong Xuan Jinpeng bowed deeply.

All the cultivators who came to the Peach Banquet understood that although the Heavenly Emperor had bestowed this opportunity upon all living beings and revealed the Dao of the Realm King to attain the Primordial Chaos, there would definitely be no shortage of Primordial Chaos Golden Immortals in the future.

As the primordial world grew stronger, the most revered beings remained the three Sages!

only……

Kong Xuan lowered his eyes. He wanted to follow his master's path to become a Primordial Golden Immortal. As for this human token, he would see if his second brother was willing to accept it later.

Regardless of what Kong Xuan was thinking, Haotian had already given him the opportunity: "Give another token to Zhulong. The dragon race was the first to submit to me as their master. A sage will be born!"

"Yes, disciple takes his leave."

"Longji, Xuantian, all the saints are here today. I will not hide it from you two. The Heavenly Path and the Human Path are the saintly positions I have prepared for you two."

"Your Majesty, we thank you!" The two bowed in unison.

The sages raised an eyebrow. These two positions were quite appropriate. The Heavenly Human Path controls the Heavenly Humans, and the Heavenly Humans are generally born in the Heavenly Realm, and may appear as children, fairies, or other celestial beings.

Longji is the most noble being among the celestial beings, and is indeed suitable to control the celestial path.

Needless to say, the Human Realm is the gateway to humanity. If it were not ruled by a pure human, not only would the Three Sovereigns and Nuwa not be at ease, but even the Jade Emperor would not feel at ease. If it were to tamper with it from within, the annihilation of humanity would come in an instant, and even the prehistoric world would be shaken.

As for Xuan Tian, ​​whether it's his background or his status, he's not just good enough, he's top-tier!

Houtu lowered her eyes; it seemed she needed to find someone to take charge of the Hell Path as soon as possible.

"Senior Sister Nuwa, if you wish to create the human race, after the other immortals and gods have attained enlightenment in the three thousand worlds, how about letting Longji observe from the sidelines?"

"Of course," Nuwa smiled gently, not refusing.

Haotian nodded and looked at Jieyin Bodhi: "I have said that any immortal or god in the Three Thousand Worlds with sufficient cultivation can try their luck. I will not specifically target your Buddhism. All I want is for the prehistoric world to grow stronger."

"As for what you two are thinking, wanting to remove Maitreya the Medicine Master from the Investiture of the Gods..."

Haotian chuckled softly. Tongtian had already sat up straight. His eyes flickered slightly as he continued, "This precedent is difficult to set. After all, I must be fair to all the immortals. The Investiture of the Gods was refined by my master with the power of the Heavenly Dao. If you offer enough merit as a sacrifice, perhaps it can be accomplished."

Amitabha Buddha breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and bowed: "Thank you for your guidance, Your Majesty."

That one sentence is enough!

Haotian smiled and looked around. Jieyin and Zhunti looked delighted, while Laozi and Yuanshi gave the two of them a meaningful look.

Could these two be plotting something about Buddhism?

However, there are indeed some promising talents on the Investiture of the Gods list, such as Maitreya the Medicine Master. If they could break free from this path, they would certainly have the potential to attain enlightenment in the present prehistoric world.

"You may leave." Haotian waved his hand, dismissing them. "I have something to discuss with my senior brother Sanqing."

In an instant, both the emperor and the princes and princesses bowed and left.

Looking at the now quiet Longde Palace, Tongtian said directly, "Your Majesty, we wish to use our merits to eliminate the evil energy within us."

"I know what I'm doing. Speaking of which, my senior brother helped me refine the array diagram. I haven't given my nephew Jinling the opportunity I promised him yet. You can take it with you later, but before that, I have something to ask my three senior brothers."

Lao Tzu's eyes flickered, and he raised his head with a smile: "Your Majesty, please speak."

Haotian stroked the teacup, as if lost in memories: "To be honest, I have seen my two senior brothers, Taiqing and Yuqing, secretly sizing up Duiyin Bodhi more than once. The scheming in their eyes made me a little uneasy."

"Although Senior Brother Tongtian brought this upon himself, his two senior brothers will never abandon him. However, the Jie Sect is now practically destroyed without any luck to support it. In the future, Senior Brother Tongtian may not even be able to advance one level of cultivation in a single epoch."

"Oh, of course, now that he has joined the Heavenly Court, if any of his disciples attain enlightenment in the future, he will also receive a share of its fortune, but that's just a drop in the ocean."

"Just now, my two senior brothers were still secretly watching Amitabha Buddha with ill intentions. If I am not mistaken, do they have any intention of plotting against Buddhism?"

"After all, the three senior brothers established their sect and became saints, so they naturally know what the fastest way to gather fortune is."

Tongtian was filled with questions and turned his head away in disbelief, but Laozi and Yuanshi's expressions changed slightly, clearly indicating that the Heavenly Emperor had guessed correctly.

Unbeknownst to him, his two older brothers had already begun plotting to establish Buddhism!

"Your Majesty truly has discerning eyes." Laozi gave a wry smile.

Seeing Tongtian's ashamed face, Yuanshi gave him a disappointed look and sneered, "We didn't do all this for you!"

Tongtian suddenly raised his head, and Yuanshi Yi Ruyi struck him on the shoulder: "You are still the Celestial Venerable of the Immortal Path, so pay more attention to the affairs of my Immortal Path."

Tongtian looked embarrassed, while Yuanshi said solemnly, "Now that the great calamity of the prehistoric world has passed, although we do not know what arrangements His Majesty has made, His Majesty rules the prehistoric world, and we sages rely on the fortune to improve our cultivation."

"If the primordial world is at peace, then the conflict between Buddhism and Taoism will not end. Your Majesty needs Buddhism, and Buddhism can grow stronger, but it must never surpass my Immortal Path!"

Yuan Shi's expression turned cold and hard; this was his bottom line!

Haotian rested his chin on his hand, thinking, "I really didn't misjudge people by entrusting the path of immortality to them so confidently."

"So, what about the plans of the two senior brothers?" Yaochi asked softly, her gaze fixed on Laozi.

"I believe Your Majesty has already guessed it," Laozi replied with a smile.

Haotian raised an eyebrow: "The only thing I can think of is the 'cuckoo in the nest' I mentioned before. The person you can choose should be Duobao, since I haven't seen him for a long time."

"Furthermore, both of my senior brothers had no objection to my offer of this opportunity to Jin Ling!"

Tongtian was taken aback. His second brother forbade the disciples of the Jie Sect from setting foot on Kunlun Mountain. He didn't know what Duobao was doing. But since His Majesty had said so, could he possibly object to whoever was given the opportunity?

"Of course you can't!" I glared at him, annoyed. He's already in such a state, and he's still not settling down.

"Duobao is the chief disciple of the Jie Sect. The more he gains, the more fortune Tongtian receives," Laozi said slowly.

A glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes: "Didn't His Majesty allow Buddhism to flourish?"

"That's exactly what I've been planning. I also want to secure the final repair of the western ley lines. Then, Duobao will be blessed with merit and will be able to completely take charge of the west. My third brother won't have to worry about insufficient fortune then!"

Tongtian was stunned. After he came to his senses, he couldn't help but shiver. Fortunately, his two older brothers in the Investiture of the Gods took brotherhood into consideration. Otherwise, he would have been treated like a fool!
