"Elder Brother, that is not right! You are the leader of Human Teachings and have the Human Race's Auspicious Qi supporting you. You already surpass us by far. If you were to control the Heavenly Court as well, that would truly be inappropriate."
"Why not hand it to me? Duobao under my sect—Senior Martial Brother has seen his character before. He could serve as the Lord of the Heavenly Court as well!"
"Enough, Third Brother. Do we not know what your Jie Sect is like? Every last one of you has turned the sect into a complete mess. If the Heavenly Court were handed to you, that would be the real disaster."
The moment Tongtian mentioned Duobao, Yuanshi recalled that bunch of Jie Sect disciples, and his anger immediately flared.
"Then second brother's disciples are not qualified either."
The crowd argued endlessly, while Xuan Qing watched with great interest from the side. These were Saints, yet even they could not escape humanity's greed.
Even the Three Pure Ones quarreled fiercely over the position of Lord of the Heavenly Court.
Nuwa and Houtu did not find it strange at all. They had long since seen what kind of people these Saints were.
As for Zu Long and the other two, who had only recently arrived, they stared wide-eyed as the Saints argued.
Were they not beings who had transcended the Prehistoric Era? Why did they all act like thugs?
"Enough!"
Hongjun suddenly spoke, suppressing the arguing crowd.
"Since you cannot reach an agreement, Xuan Qing and I will decide who becomes the Lord of the Heavenly Court!"
"Fellow Daoist Xuan Qing, do you have any suggestions?"
Hongjun looked at Xuan Qing with a smile, humbly asking for his opinion.
Xuan Qing had a curse on the tip of his tongue.
