The Yao Race Is Established, the Heavenly Court Opens (Please Keep Reading, Please Vote Monthly!)

In the blink of an eye, a thousand years passed.

Having occupied the Thirty-Three Heavens, Dijun and Taiyi encountered not the slightest setback as they transferred their followers into the Heavenly Realm.

With the support of the Fengqi Mountain lineage, they also gathered and subdued many living beings of the scaled, armored, furred, feathered, and insectoid kinds.

Bolstered by the Fengqi Mountain lineage's foundation, they completed all the preparations for establishing the Yao Race and opening the Heavenly Court in just a thousand years.

Once everything was ready, the Solar God Palace and Fengqi Mountain lineages gathered at Lingxiao Palace in the Thirty-Three Heavens, preparing to establish the Yao Race Heavenly Court.

"Many thanks to you two fellow Daoists for your support in this matter..."

Dijun cupped his hands and bowed to the arriving Fuxi and Nuwa.

Beside him, Taiyi looked at Fuxi and Nuwa with goodwill in his eyes and echoed, "Indeed. Without the Fengqi Mountain lineage's support, how could the Solar God Palace lineage alone have completed the preparations so swiftly?"

"You two fellow Daoists are too courteous. The Fengqi Mountain lineage is also part of the future Yao Race Heavenly Court..." Fuxi waved a hand and returned the bow.

Nuwa, draped in rosy radiance and carrying herself with the dignified bearing of a phoenix, revealed a faint smile on her pretty face and also saluted. "We are creating the Yao Race Heavenly Court together. It is only right that we contribute our strength..."

As they exchanged pleasantries, Bai Ze, the Demon Sage presiding over the grand sacrificial ceremony, approached the four with a solemn expression. He respectfully performed a bow and said, "Heavenly Emperor, Eastern Emperor, Xi Emperor, Wa Emperor, the auspicious hour is near. I ask Your Majesties to proceed to the Altar of Heaven, offer sacrifices to Heaven and Earth, report to Heavenly Dao, establish the Yao Race, and open the Heavenly Court!"

"Very well. Second Brother, fellow Daoists, join me in sacrificing to Heaven, establishing the Yao Race, and opening the great enterprise of the Heavenly Court!" Dijun looked at the three with high spirits, utterly brimming with ambition.

"Haha, since fellow Daoist Dijun has invited us, we siblings shall naturally follow your lead." Fuxi laughed heartily, his mood equally joyful.

The grand ceremony of sacrifice to Heaven was about to begin. Once this Yao Race Heavenly Court was established, he and his sister would sit high as Yao Emperors, enjoy the Heavenly Court's providence, and advance in cultivation and comprehension at a far faster pace. How could he not be delighted?

Before long, led by Bai Ze and Ji Meng, Dijun, Taiyi, Fuxi, and Nuwa walked step by step out of Lingxiao Palace and arrived at the Altar of Heaven at the center of the Thirty-Three Heavens.

This Altar of Heaven was neither gold nor jade, and Innate Divine Script was inlaid across its surface. It appeared exceptionally ancient and mysterious. During the Divine Demon Dao Era, the Three Sovereigns Heavenly Emperor had offered sacrifices to Heaven and Earth atop this very altar. It was one of the few altars Between Heaven and Earth qualified to bear Heavenly Dao!

At this moment, the mighty cultivators of the Solar God Palace and Fengqi Mountain had long been waiting beside the altar. Once Dijun, Taiyi, Fuxi, and Nuwa arrived, they immediately gathered behind the four.

Bai Ze, Ji Meng, Ying Zhao, Shang Yang, Qinyuan, Jiu Ying, Fei Lian, Gui Che, Ci Tie, and Feidan, the Ten Great Demon Sages, stood in ranks to either side.

Farther behind them stood the Demon Sages of the Fengqi Mountain lineage, along with hundreds of Demon Gods from the two lineages.

After ascending the altar, Dijun, Taiyi, Fuxi, and Nuwa began burning incense to sacrifice to Heaven and reciting the sacrificial text.

As the four recited, their voices gave rise to the sound of the Great Dao, linking with the Heavenly Dao Rules. In an instant, violet and azure qi filled the altar, lofty heavenly intent manifested, Immortal Music rang out in waves, and wondrous phenomena streaked across the sky.

Seeing heavenly intent manifest, Dijun, Taiyi, Fuxi, and Nuwa all burned incense and prayed, "Heavenly Dao above, we, Dijun, Taiyi, Fuxi, and Nuwa, have seen the ignorance of the countless living beings of the Primordial World.

"Today, we offer sacrifice to Heavenly Dao, wishing to unite the myriad races of living beings and transform them into demon spirits. All postnatal living beings shall belong to the Yao Race!

"With the Chaos Bell and He Tu Luo Shu to suppress our providence, and the Thirty-Three Heavens as the Yao Race's foundation, we establish the Yao Race to fulfill Heaven's Will. We pray that Heavenly Dao grants its assent!"

The moment these words were spoken, Heaven and Earth changed color. The Will of Heavenly Dao atop the altar surged violently, while boundless providential power condensed into the race fortune of the Yao Race.

The Chaos Bell and He Tu Luo Shu, which suppressed the Yao Race's providence, instantly manifested the shadows of ten thousand demons. Thus was the foundation of the Yao Race's providence planted.

At once, auspicious clouds covered the Thirty-Three Heavens, rosy light stretched ten thousand zhang, countless streams of violet and azure qi descended, and Heavenly Dao Merit fell from the firmament.

Of this Profound Yellow Merit Qi, thirty percent fell upon Dijun and Taiyi, while Fuxi and Nuwa received twenty percent. The many Demon Sages and Demon Gods beside the altar received another twenty percent, and the remaining thirty percent of the Profound Yellow Merit Qi scattered across Yao Race members large and small throughout the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Having received Heavenly Dao Merit, Dijun, Taiyi, Fuxi, and Nuwa upon the altar revealed joyful expressions, yet they did not cease their sacrifices to Heavenly Dao.

Dijun stepped forward, his expression solemn as he burned incense and prayed, "Since the Divine Demon Dao Era collapsed and the gods fell into twilight, Heavenly Dao Order has been thrown into chaos. The living beings of the Primordial World have slaughtered one another without end, hindering the order of Heaven and Earth.

"Entangled by karmic Sinful Power, slaughter and destruction have multiplied, and Calamity Power Between Heaven and Earth has surged, harming the growth of Heaven and Earth.

"All because the Heavenly Court was destroyed, leaving no one to govern the Primordial World, regulate Yin-Yang, and calm karmic Sinful Power!

"Today, Dijun has received the decree of the Dao Ancestor of Purple Cloud Palace to reopen the Heavenly Court. Taiyi shall be the Eastern Emperor of the Heavenly Court, Fuxi shall be the Xi Emperor of the Heavenly Court, and Nuwa shall be the Wa Emperor of the Heavenly Court. We pray for Heavenly Dao's recognition—the Heavenly Court is established!"

As Dijun's voice fell, the Will of Heavenly Dao manifested. A massive mass of Profound Yellow Merit descended and merged into the Yao Race's providence. The Yao Race providence that had only just stabilized abruptly soared by a great margin!

Not only that, but with the blessing of Heavenly Dao's power, the scene of Dijun, Taiyi, Fuxi, and Nuwa establishing the Yao Race and opening the Heavenly Court spread throughout the entire Primordial World.

At that moment, Dijun's voice rang out across the boundless realms of the Primordial World. Endless winds and clouds gathered, and the impact it caused was destined to spread through the River of Time!

Those Great Divine Ability Users in the Primordial World who had been in seclusion comprehending the Saint's Sermon were also awakened by the scene manifested through Heavenly Dao's power, and one after another, they emerged from seclusion.

Seeing Dijun establish the Yao Race and open the Heavenly Court, these Great Divine Ability Users wore dark expressions, deeply displeased in their hearts.

To transform all the myriad spirits of the Primordial World into demons and take charge of the Primordial World's order—if Dijun succeeded in all that, would he not stand above their heads?

However, Dijun's opening of the Heavenly Court had received the Saint of Purple Cloud Palace's approval, so they could not openly oppose him!

It truly left these Great Divine Ability Users so stifled that their hearts nearly burst!

Before a spiritual peak on an immortal mountain in Kunlun Mountain, Lu Yuan stood still beside a spiritual pool, holding a freshly plucked Postnatal Immortal Root in his hand.

As he watched the scene of the Thirty-Three Heavens, Dijun, Taiyi, Fuxi, and Nuwa establishing the Yao Race and opening the Heavenly Court flash across the sky, A glint flashed through Lu Yuan's eyes, and he sighed softly within. Alas, the Yao Race has already taken the stage. The Witch Race may not be far behind. The seedling of the Witch-Demon Calamity has already been planted.

How pitiful for the innocent living beings of the myriad races. They will be swept into the great calamity and turned into Calamity Ash in the struggle for supremacy between the Witch and Demon Clans!

Had I not entered Sanqing's sect, I too would likely have been drawn into this calamity and become a straw dog of Heavenly Dao...

After sighing softly, Lu Yuan shook his head, though a faint trace of secret delight arose in his heart.

If the Witch-Demon Calamity did not clear away a batch of Great Divine Ability Users, then for a rising junior like him, even if he had entered a Saint's sect, his chances of rapidly rising would be slim.

After all, providence and resources Between Heaven and Earth were limited. If those Great Divine Ability Users continued monopolizing providence, the Heavenly Dao providence available to later generations would naturally be limited!

Could it be...

Thinking back to the Six Saints of the Heavenly Dao, after they attained the Dao and became saints, although they were wary of the Witch and Demon Clans, they had not immediately moved to ruthlessly suppress them.

Instead, they fanned the flames step by step, secretly adding fuel to the fire and intensifying the calamity, using the hands of the Witch and Demon Clans to send off who knew how many Great Divine Ability Users!

In Lu Yuan's view, the restrictions the Heavenly Dao Trend placed upon saints were only one aspect of it.

Using the Witch and Demon Clans as their dirty hands to eliminate the Great Divine Ability Users of the Primordial World was also a very important reason.

After all, when the great saintly teachings later enlightened the Primordial World, the existence of these Great Divine Ability Users would be quite an eyesore!

And as Heavenly Dao Saints, enlightening all living beings of the Primordial World, they naturally had to be flawless in virtue and upright in the light. Otherwise, how could they serve as paragons for all beings?

Even if the Witch and Demon Clans were overbearing and unpleasant to the eye, beneath the crushing weight of the Heavenly Dao Trend, they were already destined to become losers and posed no threat to the Heavenly Dao Saints!

Since that was the case, why not indulge the Witch and Demon Clans and use them to purge those "irritating" Great Divine Ability Users?

"Hiss..."

He drew a sharp breath inward, his back faintly turning cold. If things were truly as he had guessed, the calculations of the Heavenly Dao Saints were far too terrifying.

"Fortunately, I joined Sanqing's sect..."

"Otherwise, in this era where Heavenly Dao Saints weighed down the entire Primordial World, even with my roots and aptitude, how could I possibly escape a saint's calculations beneath Heavenly Dao's Net?"

"An Innate God-Demon like me would either be converted into the Western Teachings, turned into a puppet of Mount Sumeru, and have cause and effect evolve into annihilation within the Eight Treasures Merit Pool.

"Or I would become a straw dog of the Heavenly Dao, using my own Great Dao Destiny as kindling to ignite and illuminate the Great Dao path of some disciple of the Mysterious Gate's Three Teachings!"

Thoughts raced through his mind. Lu Yuan patted his chest with lingering fear. To get by in this Primordial World, clinging to a powerful thigh truly was the most important thing.

"It is time to return to the Dao field as well. The Yao Race Heavenly Court has been established, shaking the Primordial World. First Martial Uncle, Second Martial Uncle, and Master have likely already emerged from seclusion..."

Lu Yuan muttered to himself. Transforming into a rainbow streak and stepping upon auspicious clouds, he headed toward the main range of Kunlun Mountain.
