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

Upon hearing this, Tongtian paused for a moment, then realized what he meant and looked at Laozi Yuanshi with delight.

"Eldest brother, second brother, have you finished organizing the Taoist deities' titles and ranks?"

"Not bad." Laozi nodded and handed over two jade slips. Haotian Yaochi and he exchanged a glance, their divine senses sinking into them.

In Taoism, the Three Pure Ones are defined as encompassing all immortals and deities outside of Buddhism, including the celestial beings of the Heavenly Court.

Each deity in Taoism has a specific position, which can be said to gather the fortune of all immortals and promote Taoism. With the endorsement of the Heavenly Emperor, the Three Pure Ones can also act freely.

In the entire True Spirit Rank Chart, the Emperor and Empress hold the most exalted positions.

The Supreme Jade Emperor of the Golden Palace of the Vast Heaven, the Naturally Existing Wondrous Being of the Pure and True Reality, and the Great Sage Golden Mother of the Jade Pool on the White Jade Tortoise Platform, together with the Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress, command all the immortals.

Next are the Three Pure Ones and Houtu, the Four Emperors of the East, West, South, North, and above, followed by the Zhou Tian Star Lords and other celestial deities from various departments of the Heavenly Court, arranged according to their divine rank.

The other two are immortals who have joined the Heavenly Court but have not received divine positions. They are similar to wandering immortals, but they are still nominally registered in the Heavenly Court and their fortunes are intertwined.

Nuwa, Fuxi, and others were then incorporated into the lineage of humans and gods. After all, some humans were in charge of divine positions in the Heavenly Court, while others were focused on looking after the human race in the Fire Cloud Cave, paying no attention to the affairs of the prehistoric world.

A dense array of divine titles swept across Haotian's eyes. He finally withdrew his divine sense and, under the anxious gazes of the Three Pure Ones, softly said, "Well done."

Seeing the three of them breathe a sigh of relief, Haotian narrowed his eyes slightly: "But why isn't Master here?"

Yaochi scoffed, "Do the three senior brothers think that reserving one-tenth of their fortune for Master means they have no intention of bestowing upon him an honorific title?"

My senior brother agreed to let the celestial beings of Heaven enter the Taoist order, also so that the celestial beings in the prehistoric world would not be scattered as before.

After all, although there was Heavenly Court to suppress them, there were too many factions of immortals and gods. It was a good thing that Taoism was able to integrate them.

But why is it that among all the immortals and gods, there is no mention of my master's name?

"How could I possibly forget my master?" Laozi quickly shook his head and explained, "My master is the Dao Ancestor of the Primordial World. His achievements are so great that only Your Majesty can compare to them, and no one else can casually comment on them."

The Three Pure Ones bowed in unison: "We beg Your Majesty to enlighten us and bestow upon our Master the title of honor."

Haotian tapped the jade slip lightly with his fingers, while Yaochi frowned. His master didn't care about these things, but as a disciple, he couldn't fail to show his filial piety.

"The Primordial Chaos Qi, the Myriad Heavens Profound Origin, the Imperial Master!" Haotian spoke slowly, "How is it?"

Yaochi's eyes lit up. The primordial energy combined with her master's origins, Xuan refers to the Xuanmen, Yuan is the beginning of all things, Chen is the most revered imperial star, and the Emperor Teacher of Ten Thousand Heavens not only represents her master's identity as the Dao Ancestor of the Primordial Era, but the title of Emperor Teacher also signifies an honor and status above the Heavenly Emperor.

Sanqing pondered these words, nodding repeatedly: "Your Majesty is of great virtue."

"That's settled then. However, I also need to elevate some divine positions and add more to the chart of divine rank."

"Please give your orders, Your Majesty." The Three Pure Ones were startled. The elevation of their divine status meant an expansion of their power, and with it, even greater fortune.

Haotian pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke: "First are the Five Sacred Mountains, with the Eastern Mountain as the head. Longji is hereby conferred the title of Heavenly Equal Great Life Benevolent Sage Emperor, Yang Chan is hereby conferred the title of Golden Heaven Great Benefit Sage Emperor, Yang Jiao is hereby conferred the title of Central Heaven Great Peace Reverence Sage Emperor, Yao Ji is hereby conferred the title of Heavenly Peace Great Truth Mysterious Sage Emperor, and Yang Jian is hereby conferred the title of Heavenly Transformation Illuminating Sage Emperor."

Yaochi's beautiful eyes flickered slightly. After the Investiture of the Gods, her senior brother had only arranged for Longji and Yang Chan. Now, however, he had arranged for the other three mountains. However, they were all family members.

The three Pure Ones exchanged a silent glance. Did His Majesty want his own people to attain enlightenment as soon as possible?

But since their followers also received a share of the pie, they immediately raised their hands and feet in approval.

"Furthermore, below the Four Emperors, I will also establish the Three Great Emperors, the Five Directional Gods, the Five Elders, and the positions of the Five Elders of the Five Directions!"

The Three Pure Ones were startled. These deities were either Great Emperors or Gods, and the Five Directions—were they related to the Five Elements?

"Your Majesty, I respectfully obey your decree." The Three Pure Ones bowed their heads, displaying utmost respect.

"Xuantian is the First Rank Nine Qi Blessing Heavenly Official Yaoling Yuanyang Ziwei Emperor of the Upper Yuan, in charge of blessings, fortune and fame in all heavens and on earth. On the fifteenth day of the first month of the Upper Yuan, he examines the good and evil of all living beings and bestows blessings."

"Longji is the Second Rank Seven Qi Pardoning Earth Official of the Zhongyuan Festival, the Great Emperor of the Azure Spirit and Pure Void, who is in charge of the Five Sacred Mountains and Nine Earths, and the sins of the dead. He pardons sins on the fifteenth day of the seventh month of the Zhongyuan Festival."

"Yu the Great is the Water Official of the Third Rank of the Lower Yuan, the Great Emperor of the Yin Yang Valley of the Golden Spirit Cave, who is in charge of rivers, lakes, seas, disasters, and illnesses. He relieves disasters and difficulties on the fifteenth day of the tenth month of the Lower Yuan."

The Three Pure Ones' expressions shifted. The Heavenly Official bestowed blessings, the Earthly Official pardoned sins, and the Water Official relieved calamities. Moreover, among these three, Xuan Tian and Long Ji were both princes and princesses, and the former was a disciple of the Human Sect. Lao Tzu would certainly not object.

As for Yu the Great, was the Heavenly Emperor in such a hurry for him to attain enlightenment?

"The three elements of Heaven, Earth, and Water naturally require control not only over the primordial world, but also those who hold the title of Great Emperor must expand into the Three Thousand Worlds."

Yaochi added softly, "Since the Great Calamity, countless people have ascended to immortality. Although the Heavenly Court of the Three Thousand Worlds has my senior brother Di Ling in charge, it is gradually starting to function again as heavenly soldiers and generals fill the void."

"With so many Taoist deities scattered throughout the three thousand worlds, if their divine positions are too low, they will never be convincing."

Yuanshi's eyes flickered: "Does Your Majesty mean that the Heavenly Court of the Three Thousand Worlds will be occupied by the Great Emperors leading their heavenly troops in the future? In name, the Heavenly Emperor is supreme, but the Emperor Spirit is also part of the Heavenly Dao, and it is the Great Emperors who truly protect the world?"

"That's right. As the rulers of the world, some immortals and gods cannot be all-encompassing, but the Heavenly Court plays an irreplaceable role," Yaochi nodded in reply.

The Three Pure Ones' eyes lit up instantly. If that were the case, those who could sit in these honored positions would receive abundant fortune, and the basic order of Taoism would be further stabilized.

Haotian chuckled. His purpose in doing this was to further deepen the people's trust in the Heavenly Court. The more stable the Heavenly Court's position, the smoother his path to enlightenment would be.

"Five Gods, do you three senior brothers have any suitable candidates?"

Lao Tzu lowered his eyes: "If we're talking about it, the five emperors of the human race once held great power, and since it's also the cycle of the five elements, they are the most suitable."

"No." Yuanshi shook his head. "The human race is about to have six saints. If they occupy so many honorary positions, how will the other immortals and gods in the prehistoric world survive?"

Tongtian nodded in agreement and added, "His Majesty specially established these divine positions to encompass all the other immortals, so that the human race could not monopolize them."

"Then, the Five Gods will no longer need to be ranked according to their cultivation level." Laozi nodded thoughtfully, his gaze falling on the scattered immortals of the True Spirit Position Map.

"The White Emperor of the West belongs to the element of metal, so logically the Empress of Heaven should be the most suitable," Tongtian said, cupping his hands. "However..."

Yaochi shook her head and refused: "As the Empress, I have no need for such things."

"Then let it be given to Ru Shou. He is the Ancestral Witch of Gold and is worthy of it." Hao Tian tapped the table lightly, making his decision. "Then let Shao Hao be his secondary deity. However, the Ancestral Witch is not good at handling political affairs, so Shao Hao can assist him. The fortune can be shared equally between the two of them."

The Three Pure Ones and the Jade Pool nodded in agreement. This was indeed a good idea, as the Five Gods could then accommodate ten people.

"How about placing Jumang, the Azure Emperor of the East, as the head of the celestial shrines, and making him a secondary deity to Emperor Ku?"

"The Black Emperor of the North can be given to Zhulong, to be worshipped alongside Yunxiao," Yaochi interjected, and Tongtian, moved, quickly bowed in thanks.

"The Red Emperor of the South was given to Bo Huang, with Zhu Rong as his secondary deity."

"The Yellow Emperor of the Central Region is Zhen Yuanzi, and the Yellow Dragon is worshipped as his companion."

"Wait a minute!" Yuanshi suddenly spoke up. He was naturally happy that Huanglong was enjoying the good fortune, but the Red Emperor and his companions were the Golden Crow and the Ancestral Witch.
