Chapter 1 The Supreme Heavenly Emperor, Primordial Ancestral Qi, Great Luo Heaven and Mythical Great
Chaos does not remember the years, and time leaves no trace.
Beyond that primordial wilderness, in the boundless heavens, countless divine lights suddenly blazed forth, dazzlingly brilliant, tearing through the void and pushing aside the chaos.
Deep within the chaos, ancient beings sensed the commotion and, startled by it, slightly opened and closed their eyes, wanting to see what was going on.
However, as soon as they touched the six divine lights, they felt an immense forbidden aura rushing towards them, and none of them dared to look directly at them.
—Holy Might!
The sacred is not to be profaned, nor should it be looked upon directly...
Those were the six great sages!
The leader was none other than:
The Three Pure Ones: Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, and Taiqing Daode Tianzun;
Nuwa, the goddess of the demon race and the holy mother of the human race.
Second interpretation: Daoist Jieyin, Daoist Zhunti;
The six sages of the primordial world all transcended the primordial world and went directly to chaos!
The reason for this is already obvious.
In that chaotic realm, an ancient temple slowly shone amidst the reverence of the saints. Auspicious clouds swirled in the heavens, countless golden lotuses emerged, and a vast amount of Daoist energy swirled... Despite all the taboos, its true form was finally revealed.
Ancient and grand, simple yet profound, the very name within the hall is enough to make the primordial world tremble.
Zixiao Palace!
It was none other than the supreme Daoist temple of Dao Ancestor Hongjun!
hum...
Chaos and desolation.
The moment the Purple Cloud Palace appeared, countless remnants of chaos trembled in fear, daring not to utter a sound.
Only the six sages at the head are qualified to discuss the Dao.
But then the Guide Daoist spoke with a sorrowful voice: "Fellow disciples, may we ask why our Master has summoned us here?"
His words carried a hint of probing.
A sage can understand the whole world with a single thought!
Although the Lich Wars have passed, the three realms remain in turmoil. The war between the Lich and the Lich resulted in mutual destruction, widespread suffering, and disrupted countless cycles of cause and effect.
Therefore, the order of the Three Realms must be redefined. The Heavenly Court was established with the support of Hongjun, but now the throne is vacant, making it impossible for even the sages to control.
It is no exaggeration to say that this position determines the future direction of the entire Three Realms.
The Dao Ancestor's summons is most likely for this very reason.
Everyone understood without saying a word.
"Let's just observe quietly."
Although the Sage Taiqing had long established his teachings and revered non-action, a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes.
The Lord of Heaven! The throne of the Heavenly Emperor! Even saints rarely find such interest. What it represents is truly immense!
Upon hearing this, the six sages fell silent, waiting patiently. Their gazes fell upon the Purple Cloud Palace, each with their own thoughts.
The Jade Purity Saint, Primordial Heavenly Venerable, was thinking of his own Chan Sect's virtuous immortal, Yun Zhongzi. This was the reincarnation of the ancient great being Hongyun, bearing immense karmic merit and virtue.
The Tongtian Sect Leader, however, had his eye on his eldest outer disciple, Zhao Gongming. While Zhao Gongming's background and foundation might not match Yun Zhongzi's, his character, cultivation, and combat prowess were in no way inferior... He was certainly capable of competing with him.
The two Western interpretations look at Maitreya Buddha: the future Buddha, with immense blessings.
As for Nuwa and the Sage Taiqing, they were the most peaceful.
Because the Sage of Taiqing advocated non-action and following one's nature, strictly speaking, his only disciple was Xuandu, making it difficult for the Lord of Heaven to associate with him.
Although Goddess Nuwa wanted to help the demon race again, she also knew that: now that the witch and the demon race were both exhausted, the human race should stand, and how could the demon race possibly get the position of Heavenly Emperor?
……
"After the Great Calamity, everything is in ruins and needs to be rebuilt. Humanity must rise again, but the Heavenly Court cannot be without a ruler for even a day. The reason I have summoned you here today is to establish the Heavenly Emperor!"
Finally, a sound came from within the Purple Cloud Palace.
Though the voice was soft, it resonated like a great bell, echoing in the hearts of all the immortals. The Heavenly Dao flowed in the darkness, its might terrifying!
The owner of the voice, needless to say, was none other than the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
really……
Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts tightened. Amidst the swirling thoughts, endless ripples spread through the chaotic mind.
Who is the Emperor of Heaven?
Before anyone could speculate for long, the voice gave the answer.
"From this day forward, the throne of the Heavenly Emperor shall be held by Haotian, with Yaochi assisting the Queen Mother, together ruling the Three Realms!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was stunned, and even the Six Saints paused slightly.
Haotian? Yaochi?
Aren't these the golden boy and jade girl who served under the Dao Ancestor Hongjun?
Although he could be ranked alongside the Six Sages in terms of seniority, he was absolutely incomparable in terms of status and cultivation.
Now, these two are the rulers of the Heavenly Court?
A single stone stirs up a thousand waves! Even the immortals would find it difficult to remain calm.
The situation in Zixiao Palace was equally turbulent.
A pair of exquisitely beautiful young men and women, resembling porcelain dolls, slowly emerged from the crowd.
Yaochi was utterly shocked, frozen in place: "Haotian! Master said we are to become the rulers of the Heavenly Court?"
Beside him, Haotian was equally stunned. However, unlike Yaochi's shock, he was more—bewildered.
"Did I really transmigrate into Haotian's body?"
"Haotian, the attendant of Dao Ancestor Hongjun?"
"The Lord of Heaven? The Jade Emperor?"
Haotian felt a chill run down his spine.
Unlike Yaochi's shock and even ecstasy, Haotian felt more helpless.
As a time traveler, he was acutely aware of his current predicament. The position of Lord of Heaven, though desirable, and the title of Heavenly Emperor, though grand… were all ultimately meaningless!
There are numerous powerful sects and monasteries outside, and even among the closely related sects like Chan Sect, Jie Sect, and Western Sect, which one is obedient? Inside, the Heavenly Court is now just an empty shell, lacking both manpower and foundation; it is merely a facade.
Such a position as the Heavenly Emperor...
Haotian couldn't help but think: if things continued as they were, with the Investiture of the Gods calamity beginning and even the Journey to the West calamity descending, he, the ruler of the Heavenly Court, would be nothing more than a puppet Heavenly Emperor who wielded the Investiture of the Gods to command the immortals, and would even be beaten up by a stone monkey in the Lingxiao Palace and cursed to his nose...
"What an uninteresting Heavenly Emperor!"
Haotian shook his head slightly.
Before Haotian could think any further, the voice rang out again.
"In that case, Yaochi, I bestow upon you the Western Plains Banner and the Peach Tree, making you the Queen Mother, the mother of the Three Realms, and your advisor to the Jade Emperor!"
Words become law. As soon as Dao Ancestor Hongjun uttered his words, immense magical power was unleashed, transforming the Jade Pool beside him into a beam of divine light that disappeared into the primordial world and then shone upon the Heavenly Court, illuminating the Three Realms.
Yaochi shed her childlike innocence and transformed into an exceptionally beautiful woman, noble and dignified, a queen befitting the world. Though a hint of trepidation remained in her eyes, she had already shaken the entire primordial world.
"Jade Pool—Queen Mother of the West!"
In the chaos, although everyone felt something was amiss, they dared not speak out. Dao Ancestor Hongjun had merged with the Dao, and every word and action of his was the will of Heaven, which even a sage could not interfere with.
Then, the voice rang out again.
"Haotian, I bestow upon you the Haotian Mirror and the Jade Seal of the Heavenly Emperor, making you the Heavenly Emperor, the Lord of the Heavenly Court, and the ruler of the Heavenly Court!"
Words become law. As Dao Ancestor Hongjun spoke, immense magical power unfolded, transforming Haotian into a beam of divine light that entered the primordial world and shone upon the Heavenly Court, illuminating the Three Realms.
Haotian shed his childish form and transformed into an extremely handsome young man. He wore a golden robe with a nine-clawed dragon depicted on it; a crown with tassels and beaded curtains hung down his head, and magical power surged around him, clearly indicating that it was a high-quality spiritual treasure.
In the midst of chaos, everyone quietly observed.
At this moment, Haotian had become the focus of everyone's attention.
"What good is being handsome? In the end, you'll always be subordinate to others."
Haotian, in the Heavenly Court, gazed at the Haotian Mirror and the Heavenly Emperor's Jade Seal floating before him and sighed inwardly.
Mirror reflection:
The young man was dressed in white, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and a handsome appearance.
This young man is so incredibly handsome! He has just shed his virginity and is completely unadorned, yet he makes the mountains and rivers lose their color.
Especially those eyes; a casual glance from them reveals a galaxy of stars, incredibly profound.
His every gesture exudes the aura of an emperor, radiating authority without anger.
Have you not seen the countless beings in the primordial world, how many youths could be considered celestial beings descended to earth, but how many are like Haotian, a young Heavenly Emperor?
……
Under normal circumstances, Haotian might linger in front of this mirror for a long time—simply because he was too handsome.
However, Haotian had no such thoughts today; only a faint sorrow lingered in his heart.
Although he was appointed Heavenly Emperor by the decree of the Dao Ancestor, he was only a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Not to mention the three sages ruling the world, there are countless great worlds and billions of small worlds floating and sinking within this primordial world... It is still unknown how many Great Luo Golden Immortals are hidden here.
Under such circumstances, how could I possibly rule over all the heavens and myriad realms?
But what's done is done, and there's nothing that can be done about it.
Looking up, one sees the Heavenly Palaces in ruins; the once-renowned thirty-six palaces and seventy-two halls have long since become broken wreckage.
However, Haotian did not care.
This was expected.
After all, the war between the Lich King and the Demon King was a massive undertaking, leaving the primordial land shattered, and the Heavenly Court was no exception. Repairs can be carried out later when manpower is gathered.
The most important thing right now is to examine ourselves.
He examined his entire body but found nothing of any particular system. However, when he reached his primordial spirit, he suddenly saw a three-colored aura floating and sinking around it.
Upon contact with the primordial spirit, through divine perception, one learns its name—the Primordial Ancestral Qi.
This Qi was formed innately, it is the beginning of all things, one of all things, and the source of everything.
Haotian was momentarily stunned, secretly amazed: This kind of golden finger is truly remarkable! What's the point of becoming a saint? With this ancestral qi, one has obtained the ticket to enter the Great Luo Heaven and has the hope of becoming a mythical Great Luo.
The Supreme Great Luo Heaven is the ultimate place of liberation for countless beings, the only eternal and true world outside of all illusory worlds. It is the highest point of all heavens, all chaos, and all time-space dimensions of reincarnation.
Everything here is real, eternal, and free. The vastness of the Great Luo Heaven is immeasurable; the so-called endless chaotic universe and immeasurable dimensions of time and space are nothing more than a speck of dust invisible to the naked eye within the supreme Great Luo Heaven.
The Great Luo Heaven is the true land of transcendence, the land of reality, the land beyond. It is the source of all existence and non-existence, logic and anti-logic, the chaotic river of time, space, destiny, cause and effect, all rules and principles, narratives, and so on!
The mythical Great Luo, residing in the Great Luo Heaven, is the ultimate existence of the Dao.
The primordial chaos is boundless and limitless, encompassing all myriad wonders without form. It transcends Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, earth, water, wind, and fire, and all cycles of time, space, destiny, cause, and effect. It is not within the Three Realms, nor beyond the Six Paths.
Its own concept reflects the supreme Great Luo Heaven, and its own laws transcend the Great Dao, making it the supreme and unique entity among the immeasurable heavens, the chaotic universe, and the dimensions of time and space.
In the blink of an eye, the vast universe comes into being. The realm of laws is boundless and endless, covering all dimensions of time and space, and the immeasurable chaotic universe.
They can arbitrarily modify all rules except for the Supreme Heaven, and create something from nothing is nothing to them.
With a thought, one can know all events in the heavens and the universe; absolute omniscience and omnipotence, omnipresent. All the heavens and myriad realms, the chaotic universe, the immeasurable space and time, and all things as numerous as the sands of time, hold no secrets for the Great Luo One.
The fundamental logic that creates the universe and alters all rules is meaningless to it, regardless of whether it is false or real. This is because the Great Luo One is itself unknowable, unthinkable, ineffable, and indescribable, without beginning or end.
Below the Great Luo level, all are but ants. All beings below the Great Luo level are like ants, easily annihilated with a single thought. Even those infinitely close to the Great Luo level are ultimately not the Great Luo, no different from ants—this is the difference between the finite and the infinite.
Even within the Great Luo Heaven, a Great Luo being can shatter space and destroy mountains and rivers. Therefore, before a Great Luo being, the endless chaotic universe and countless dimensions of time and space are nothing more than a speck of dust, which can be created and destroyed countless times in a single thought.
The creation of endless cycles of reincarnation and nested doll-like multiverses of time and space is also possible with a mere thought. This is because the Great Luo is the truly real and undeniable; everything else is illusory. Therefore, the Great Luo transcends all that is tangible and intangible, existent and non-existent, logical and anti-logical, above the immeasurable and uncountable "nothingness," and transcends the origin of all things and all paths. For existence at this level, neither illusion nor reality holds any meaning.
