Ch. 521The Struggle for the Heavenly Emperor's Position, Taichu Appears
The Three Pure Ones and the other powers argued over who should rule the restored Heavenly Court, with Nuwa proposing her brother Fuxi. Taichu appeared to mediate the dispute, leaving the contenders awaiting his decision.
- Laozi announced that the Heavenly Court needed a ruler, while Yuanshi and Tongtian rebuked Zhunti for proposing Western Lands disciples.
- Nuwa recommended Fuxi for the position, but the others objected that his Demon Race ties and death made him unsuitable.
- Laozi asked whether Nuwa meant to use the Heavenly Court's Fortune and Karma to revive Fuxi, and she revealed her intent through her reaction.
- Taichu appeared before the gathered Sages and Hunyuan experts, who saluted him as Dao Venerable.
- Taichu said he had come to mediate the dispute, and the others recognized that his power had grown far beyond theirs.
