At this time, Hongjun Daozu spoke again, "There is one more thing. After the death of Di Jun, the Celestial Court is in chaos and there is no one to control it. The stars in the sky are scattered and unpredictable. We need a new Celestial Emperor to take charge of the Celestial Court and control the stars in the sky. You can discuss among yourselves who you have in mind."
Hearing this, everyone present had an idea. They naturally knew the importance of the Celestial Court. Not only did it have the powerful fate of the Great Desolation, but it could also take charge of the Celestial Court. If it was controlled properly, it could increase the fate of the Sages. Naturally, they were very excited.
River Styx looked at the tempted Sages and sneered in his heart. The Master of the Celestial Court had long been decided. It was useless for them to fight for it. Looking at the two boys beside Hongjun, Mu Sen could tell that they were extraordinary. Especially Haotian. Although he still looked like a boy, he already had the aura of an emperor. Unless Hongjun changed his fate, the position of Celestial Emperor would definitely be Haotian.
Seeing that the Sages were interested, Nüwa panicked and said quickly, "Master, the Demon Race still has Crown Prince Lu Ya. He can inherit the position of Celestial Emperor from his father, Di Jun. He can rule the Demon Race and take charge of the Celestial Court." Nüwa was unwilling to let the Wu-killing Sword and the Bell of Chaos fall into their hands. The position of Celestial Emperor was too important. She had to fight for it.
Hearing Nüwa's words, Yuanshi immediately retorted, "Junior Sister Nüwa's words are unreasonable. During the Great War of the Witch-Demon Race, both the Witch-Demon Race and the Witch-Demon Race suffered great losses. The Wu people have already returned to their place of origin. What right does the Demon Race have to take charge of the Celestial Court?"
Zhunti also chimed in, "Daoist Friend Yuanshi is right. Furthermore, the Demon Clan is no longer what it used to be. They no longer have the power to control the Celestial Court. Now that the humans are in power, they have a vendetta against the demons and humans. Does Nüwa Daoist Friend want the humans to massacre the Celestial Court?"
Upon hearing this, Nüwa's expression changed drastically. After hearing Zhunti's words, she remembered that the Demon Clan's current strength was no match for the Human Clan. Furthermore, the Human Clan had Mu Sen, a master who could rival the Eastern Emperor Taichi, as well as the True Martial Origin Formation. If the Demon Clan was still in control of the Celestial Court, the Human Clan would have mobilized their troops to destroy the Demon Clan.
Seeing that Nüwa was silent, Lao Tzu said, "The Demon Clan's Crown Prince, Lu Ya, is weak. How can he be the Celestial Emperor? Junior Nüwa, let the Demon Clan rest in peace!" Lao Tzu's words hit the nail on the head. With Lu Ya's strength, how could he convince the people of the Great Desolation? He might not even be able to subdue the Demon Clan. After thinking this through, Nüwa could only keep quiet.
Seeing that Nüwa was silent, Lao Tzu said, "I only have Xuan Du as my disciple. He is not qualified for the position of the Celestial Court. This time, I will have to rely on my Junior Brothers and Sisters." Lao Tzu was speaking the truth. He only had Xuan Du as his disciple. Although the Ren Sect had some other disciples, they were not qualified to be the Celestial Emperor.
Everyone thought about it and agreed. Lao Tzu only had Xuan Du as his disciple. If he went to the Celestial Court, wouldn't his orthodoxy be broken? Then, wouldn't Lao Tzu fight with everyone?
Seeing that Lao Tzu had expressed his stance, the Primordial Lord of Heaven immediately said, "My eldest disciple, Guang Chengzi, is a Golden Immortal. He can be the Celestial Emperor."
When Yuanshi said this, the Tongtian said, "My eldest disciple, Duobao, has a high cultivation level. He can be the Celestial Emperor." When Yuanshi heard this, he was immediately displeased. The Tongtian actually wanted to fight with him for the Celestial Emperor's position. Obviously, he did not take him seriously. However, he did not think about how important the Celestial Emperor's position was. It was not something that could be given away so easily.
Zhunti also hurriedly said, "My disciples are all people who have achieved Dao. The Poor Way is right. My disciple, the Medicine Master, is destined to be the Celestial Emperor. Daoist Friend, please follow the will of Heaven and stop fighting." Zhunti said seriously. River Styx, who was watching from the side, only wanted to laugh.
When Zhunti spoke, Yuanshi immediately said, "Zhunti, this is a matter of the East. It has nothing to do with the West. Daoist Friend, please don't interfere." When he heard that Zhunti wanted the Celestial Emperor's position, Yuanshi naturally did not allow it. It was a pity that he remembered the difference between the East and the West. If he remembered it when he was apotheosized, he and the Tongtian would not be in such a state.
Seeing that the Sages were arguing, Hongjun said, "The wasteland universe is divided into Upper, Lower, East, South, West and North. It is divided into six parts, called the Six Royals. The Celestial Emperor is the head of the Six Royals, the Jade Emperor. He rules the heavens and earth and the Great Desolation of the Universe.
In the East, there is the East Pole Qinghua Emperor, who rules the three realms and assists the Celestial Emperor in controlling the growth of all things. In the South, there is the South Pole Longevity Emperor, who rules the spirits and assists the Celestial Emperor in controlling the lifespan, calamity and fortune of the three realms. In the West, there is the West Pole North Pole Emperor, who rules the thunder and lightning and assists the Celestial Emperor in controlling the three realms.
In the North, there is the North Pole North Pole Emperor, who rules the stars and assists the Celestial Emperor in controlling the climate of the four seasons. In the North, there is the North Pole Emperor of Ziwei, who rules the earth and earth. He rules the Netherworld, the Six Paths of Reincarnation and the birth of Yin and Yang. These Six Royals are the backbone of the Celestial Court. They will suppress the fate and control the Tendo. They are indispensable. "
When the Sages heard this, they fell silent. The Six Royals of the Celestial Court were divided. Although the Jade Emperor was the most honorable, once the Six Royals were established, their power would naturally be greatly dispersed. Naturally, the temptation would be greatly reduced. They only wanted the position of the Celestial Emperor. Although the other Five Royals were good, their status was lower than the Celestial Emperor's. Naturally, they were unwilling to fight for it.
On the other hand, River Styx and Houtu did not look too good. Among the Six Royals, one of them was in control of the Netherworld's reincarnation. This violated their interests. Naturally, they would not let others have it. River Styx said directly, "The Poor Way's Good Corpse, Qiankun Taoist, is the Emperor of Fengdu in the Netherworld. He can be the Sky Pole Emperor of Ziwei and the Earth Pole Emperor of Ziwei."
When River Styx said this, the Sages did not find it strange. The Netherworld was established by River Styx. Naturally, he would not allow others to interfere. Moreover, with the Good Corpse as one of the Six Royals, when the time came, no matter who the Jade Emperor was, he would not have the qualifications and power to interfere with the Netherworld's affairs.
The Netherworld was originally in River Styx's hands. The Sages did not want to argue about it. Only Houtu frowned slightly. However, he did not say anything. He just kept looking at the Bell of Chaos in his hand. No one knew what he was thinking.
As the dispute over the position of the Celestial Emperor continued, Lao Tzu could only say, "Teacher, this is a serious matter. We are unable to make a decision. Please make the decision." Instead of letting the Sages argue, it was better to let Hongjun make the decision. This way, even if the Sages had objections, they would have nothing to say.
Hongjun looked at the Sages and said, "In this case, I have decided. Haotian, Yaochi, you have served me for tens of thousands of years. Today, I will give you an opportunity. Haotian will be the Master of the Celestial Court. He will be in charge of the stars. Yaochi, as the Empress, will assist Haotian in managing the Celestial Court."
Hongjun reached out and pointed. Haotian and Yaochi's figures blurred. When they became clear again, they had the appearance of adults. At the same time, a mirror and a flag appeared in front of each of them. Both of them shone brightly. The Sages were envious of them.
Hongjun said to Haotian Tendo, "This is the Haotian Mirror. It can see the 33 Levels of Heaven and the 18 Levels of Hell. In addition, it has many other magical uses. I will give it to you so that you can control the fate of the Celestial Court!" Haotian quickly thanked him and took the Haotian Mirror under Zhunti's envious gaze.
Then, he took out a golden hairpin and a peach tree, one of the five congenital Spiritual Roots, and gave them to Yaochi. Yao Chi hurried to express her gratitude and took the Spirit Treasures. When the Peach of Immortality Tree appeared, the Sages all had some treasures. Minghe's eyes lit up. He had already collected three kinds of Innate Five Elements Spiritual Roots. He only needed the Peach of Immortality Tree and the Bodhi Tree.
After Haotian and Yaochi took the Lingbao, they were very happy. Haotian thought for a while and said to Hongjun, "Master, who should be in charge of the Celestial Court?" Although he was appointed by Hongjun, he and Yaochi were alone. How could they have the manpower to manage the Celestial Court?
Hong Jun said indifferently, "You can discuss such a small matter with your senior brothers and sisters. Now that everything has been decided, you can leave on your own. Come back to the Purple Cloud Palace ten thousand years later. I have something to instruct you." With that, Hong Jun disappeared from the Dao platform and returned to the Heavenly Dao.
After Hongjun left, Haotian said, "Senior Brothers and Sisters, what do you think of the Celestial Court?" Haotian had no choice. How could he and Yaochi support the huge Celestial Court? So, they could only ask the Sages for help.
Unfortunately, the Sages did not respond to Haotian. They only said that it was up to him and then left in a hurry. It was no wonder. Although Haotian and Yaochi were appointed by Hongjun, they were not qualified to be on the same level as the Sages. Naturally, they did not want their disciples to work in the Celestial Court and obey Haotian's orders. River Styx also shook his head and turned to leave.
The Human Tribe was on the rise. The Celestial Court was newly established. A new era was about to begin.
