The Pact with Fuxi

The people on Heavenly Pond today are among the most powerful figures in the Immortal Dao, and they instantly deduced the outcome of the matter that had already been revealed.

However, it must be said that Lu Ya was indeed lucky. He could simply enter the Kunlun Mirror and transcend time and space to be reincarnated before the birth of the Ten Golden Crow.

After everyone finished laughing, they stopped talking about it. Whether Lu Ya was alive or dead was no longer important. Killing him would be easy, and it wasn't worth the crowd's discussion!

After a brief chat, Tongtian suddenly spoke up:

"Since Master merged with the Dao, the world has truly changed. First, the Star Domain representing the Star Divine Dao was destroyed by the Heavenly Court, and later the Witch Court also destroyed the Mountain God Lineage."

"Now that the Great God forces have been destroyed, there are fewer and fewer people in the Primordial Wilderness who cultivate the Divine Dao way. In addition, with the death of Lu Ya, a peak expert in the Divine Dao, it can be said that the fortune of the Divine Dao way has come to an end!"

Zhen Yuanzi readily agreed, saying, "Fellow Daoist Tongtian is right. The Divine Dao path has indeed declined, and with it comes a decrease in fortune. Perhaps the once-flourishing Cultivation Method will disappear from the Primordial World Continent, which would be quite a pity."

Everyone nodded in agreement!

Donghua also agreed with this statement. Nowadays, the Divine Dao forces on the Primordial World Continent can be said to have been almost completely wiped out, and those that remain are no longer a threat.

But then, thinking of the gods people talked about in later generations, he said:

"Since the beginning of time, through countless eras, the fortunes of the ancient gods have almost come to an end. But I believe that gods will not disappear, because heaven and earth need gods, and all living beings need gods!"

Everyone began to ponder Donghua's words, feeling that something was amiss, yet there was an inexplicable mystery to them.

Hong Yun thought for a moment, but still couldn't figure it out, so she asked:

"What is your interpretation of this statement, Fellow Tai Wei Taiwei?"

Donghua didn't mince words and answered directly, "Gods and immortals are different. Immortals pursue freedom and transcendence, while gods, in their pursuit of transcendence, also have the divine duties bestowed upon them by Heaven and Earth."

"Just as I am the Eastern Wood Duke, the Wood Duke is a divine position bestowed upon me by Heaven and Earth. I am born with the Great Dao Law of wood, and within my duties, I also need to regulate the wood energy of the East. Therefore, Heaven and Earth need divine positions to function."

"Now, there are more and more beings born after death in the Primordial Wilderness world. Those who are not immortals after birth are as numerous as hairs on a cow. These newly born beings also need gods to perform their duties and ensure their livelihood."

"Therefore, with the end of the innate gods, the acquired gods should be born!"

Donghua's words were like a wake-up call, and everyone immediately came to their senses. It wasn't that they didn't know these things, but rather that they hadn't thought of them.

As Innate Deities and Great Powers -Quasi-Saint, how could they possibly know the lives of beings below the immortal level?

Just as an elephant never cares what an ant is doing.

As soon as she heard Donghua's words, Hong Yun was the first to stand up and refute him:

"A god formed from beings born later in life, is he still a god? Besides, we cultivators pursue freedom and transcendence. If we are restricted by divine office, that's terrible, terrible!"

Donghua Kuiran smiled and chuckled, "You, Hongyun, were born a primordial saint, born as a Great Luo Emperor who controls the laws. How could you, a carefree and unrestrained person, possibly know the hardships of those at the bottom of the primordial world?"

"As for what gods are formed later in life, they are naturally the gods of my Immortal Dao. My majestic immortal Immortal Dao, surely it can encompass the Postnatal God Path?"

"Easy peasy!"

A few words left Hong Yun speechless, yet she looked utterly incredulous.

"Can the Immortal Dao Divine Dao?"

Taishang asked with doubt, "What is an acquired god?"

Donghua thought for a moment, and based on his memories of the Divine Dao from later generations, he said:

"Any believer can become a god; anyone recognized by Heaven and Earth can also become a god. You are a god, I am a god, anyone can be a god!"

The Supreme Being pondered for Taishang, then stroked his beard and said:

"In this way, our immortal Immortal Dao will once again usher in development, which is truly wonderful!"

"No wonder Master bestowed upon you the Head of Male Immortals; you truly deserve it. From this day forward, our Immortal Dao shall flourish throughout the world, and all paths under heaven may lead to immortality!"

Zhunti his hands together and exclaimed, "Boundless, boundless! The East King truly possesses extraordinary talent. I believe he should be the supreme Di Jun Heavenly Emperor, while East King is far inferior!"

Upon hearing this, the scene immediately fell silent, after all, there was also Xi Huang of the Heavenly Court present.

Donghua cursed inwardly, "You old bastard!"

Hong Yun, oblivious to the situation, nodded in agreement, saying, "I Zhunti agree with what Fellow Daoist Zhunti has said."

"In terms of cultivation, the East King is a Dao Lord who pioneered a new path, with Late Stage Quasi-Saint cultivation; in terms of virtue, needless to say, he surpasses Di Jun a thousand times over."

"In terms of status, the East King is the Head of Male Immortals personally appointed by our teacher, and the Eastern Wood Duke is superior to Di Jun. Therefore, in every aspect, the East King is more suitable than Di Jun!"

Zhen Yuanzi tried to signal to Hong Yun, but to no avail, and finally sighed in frustration.

Seeing everyone remain silent, Donghua burst into laughter, drawing everyone's attention.

"Zhunti Daoist Fellow Daoist Hongyun, you have praised me so highly. If Di Jun attacks my Purple Mansion because of this in the future, you will not be able to escape. You must contribute your share, otherwise this karmic debt will not be settled."

The West Queen Mother, also looking indignant, said to the two, "That's right, you are both carefree people, so naturally you are not afraid of the Heavenly Court. My brother and I have this foundation, so we can only confront the Heavenly Court head-on. This will cause countless deaths and suffering. If Di Jun attacks us for this reason in the future, you two will not be able to escape!"

Zhunti remained silent, but Hong Yun laughed and casually said, "It's alright, it's alright. I, Hong Yun, naturally agree with what I have said. If this angers Di Jun in the future, I am willing to deal with it together with you two."

The discussion ended amidst laughter and conversation, and everyone departed one after another.

Before leaving, Fuxi seemed to want to say something, but ultimately he didn't.

Seeing Donghua, Donghua said, "Fellow Daoist Fuxi, you don't need to say anything more. Isn't it just that Di Jun of the Heavenly Court is plotting against me in the Purple Mansion?"

"I actually guessed this when Northern Darkness attacked Beihai last time. I've always wanted to avoid conflict with the Heavenly Court, but I couldn't escape it in the end. Since Di Jun wants to fight, let's have a fight and see who's the real deal!"

Since Donghua broke through to the Late Stage Quasi-Saint, his state of mind has changed. Some things are ultimately inescapable, perhaps they were destined from the moment the Purple Mansion was established. Fate is truly amazing!

Upon hearing Donghua's words, Fuxi looked up at the sky and said bitterly, "Tai Wei Daoist Taiwei, I feel that my own Dao and the Dao of the Heavenly Court are becoming increasingly different, as if we have each gone in different directions. Could you please teach me?"

Donghua patted Fuxi on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Fuxi, it's not that your path is different from the Heavenly Court's, but that your path is different from Di Jun's. Isn't the Heavenly Court's path the same as Di Jun's? Di Jun uses one race to suppress all races, and he will inevitably suffer a backlash in the end."

"As time goes by, the Heavenly Court remains the Heavenly Court, but Di Jun is different; he is not unique. The Heavenly Court is the Heavenly Court, Di Jun is Di Jun; the two are not the same."

"The Heavenly Court should not be the Heavenly Court of one family or one clan, but the Heavenly Court of all living beings in the Primordial Wilderness. Therefore, your path, Fuxi, is not wrong, nor is your ambition wrong. It is just that the Heavenly Court has embarked on the wrong path."

Upon hearing this, Fuxi looked at Donghua in shock and remained silent for a long time. This time, his heart was shaken again, even more so than the last time in Southern Heaven.

Fuxi's ambition was to establish a well-ordered world where all races could coexist, but the Heavenly Court could no longer bring him these hopes.

Finally, he slowly said, "Fellow Daoist is truly Gao Ming. Hong Yun's words are indeed correct; you are more suitable for the Heavenly Emperor Position than Di Jun."

"The Heavenly Court should indeed not become the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race. Although it may develop rapidly in this way, it is ultimately too narrow-minded and will hardly become the true ruler of the Primordial Wilderness. Our vision has been too limited."

Fuxi's tone shifted, and he looked sharply at Donghua, asking, "The Purple Mansion is as vast as the ocean, teeming with all sorts of people. So, what are your aspirations, fellow Daoist?"

Donghua revealed his aspirations and principles. "When I Slaying the Corpse, I had already clearly defined my path, which is to establish a moral compass for Heaven and Earth and to contribute to the Primordial Wilderness!"

This time, Fuxi didn't say anything after hearing this, but looked at Donghua intently.

"Fellow Daoist Tai Wei, I would like to travel with you to the territory under the jurisdiction of the Witch Court for an experience. Would you be willing?"

Although Donghua didn't know why Fuxi wanted to go to the Witch Court, he had some guesses in his mind. He guessed that Fuxi wanted to really understand the Witch Court.

"That is exactly what I wish for!"

After agreeing on a time, Fuxi left West Kunlun.
