I Really Never Wanted to Be Heavenly Emperor 2

During this period, five types of currency began to circulate across the Three Islands and Ten Continents, and Four Seas.

Since the coins were completed, everyone in the Purple Mansion has been busy, and the Myriad Treasures Pavilion has also started operating.

In this regard, Randeng has indeed lived up to Donghua's trust. Even when the situation is complicated, Myriad Treasures Pavilion operates in an orderly manner.

Randeng was very thorough in all aspects, reconciling the interests and conflicts of all parties. Even Taiyuan, who had always wanted to cause trouble, was speechless.

Since obtaining the Heavenly Tribulation Banner, the West Queen Mother has been in seclusion and has not emerged from seclusion yet. However, there is a constant presence of heavenly tribulation energy and rolling lightning Jingyang Palace, indicating that she has reached a critical moment in her cultivation.

Meanwhile, Haotian Lord of the Clouds and others practiced military formations day and night, and the Tai Xu Record was constantly running.

The Great Commander of Fate commands Thirty-Five Divisions, mobilizes resources, and coordinates various parties. He also selects talented individuals from among the Dragon Clan to fill various departments.

After going around in circles, Donghua found himself with nothing to do.

"Sigh, everyone else is just spending their days in brothels listening to music, what should I do?"

Standing atop the Purple Mansion Suspended Peak, Donghua overlooked the Three Islands and Ten Continents, taking in all the beautiful scenery.

Above the East Sea, a divine dragon leaps from the surface, stirring up waves that breathe in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Meanwhile, immortals from the Purple Mansion greet the rising sun, absorbing the purple glow.

"Why!"

Donghua sighed deeply. He remembered that when he was first reborn, he didn't have any great ambitions. His biggest dream was to survive the Lich War and become a carefree and Great Powers.

But fate had other plans. The Purple Mansion Faction grew ever stronger, and his own cultivation level reached the pinnacle of the primordial Primordial Wilderness.

At this moment, he dared not say that he was superior to his peers, but he was confident that he could fight anyone. Regardless of the outcome, at least he would not die!

But now he seems to have changed; he's no longer a lazy bum, he wants to Attain Hunyuan Dao.

Meanwhile, his subordinates were all eager to expand the Purple Mansion, and then leave the East Sea to reach that magical continent.

This matter will not be changed by Donghua's will. He can stop it once or twice, but he cannot stop it eight or ten times, because this is the will of everyone in the Purple Mansion.

As everyone's strength increased, the Three Islands and Ten Continents could no longer satisfy them. By preventing them from going out, they were actually blocking their path.

The enmity of obstructing one's path is no trivial matter!

Moreover, now that he is cultivating the Destiny and Fortune Imperial Dao and wants to go higher and Attain Hunyuan Dao, he must go out of the Purple Mansion.

At this moment, Donghua understood the dilemma that Ancestor Dragon, Yuanfeng, First Qilin, and others had faced back then, because even though they knew there might be no winner in this war, they still went ahead without hesitation.

Because this is about striving for and proving the Way!

The path to greatness is one of competition; if you don't compete, someone else will!

Therefore, Donghua's purpose in establishing the Myriad Treasures Pavilion was not only to acquire merit and fortune, but also an attempt for him to expand his influence beyond the Purple Mansion.

He simply used a milder method, like boiling a frog in lukewarm water.

But one day, the Myriad Treasures Pavilion will shine brightly and announce to the world the birth of the Purple Mansion.

"In the end, I couldn't escape my fate!"

Donghua never intended to conquer the Primordial Wilderness, but due to various circumstances, he gradually found himself on this path.

There is no turning back once you've made your choice!

Thinking of this, Donghua took out the Plain Cloud World Banner and the Blazing Light Banner of Earth Separation, two spiritual treasures that had now been completely refined and became his own.

The two flags in their hands released Daoist energy, flowing and vying with each other, yet sharing similarities—truly a marvel beyond words.

"You want to collect all Five Directional Banners?"

A voice came from behind, but Donghua ignored it because he knew who it was.

Fuxi stepped forward, looked at the two flags in Donghua's hands, and slowly said, "Many people have wanted to collect all Five Directional Banners Five Directions Innate Banners, because they are related to a destiny and the Five Elements Great Dao, but no one has succeeded, including Di Jun of the Heavenly Court."

Donghua turned around and said, "So what are you trying to say?"

Fuxi swallowed hard, then looked at Donghua strangely, wondering what he had done to make Donghua so aloof. He thought to himself, "Have I offended him?"

"Fellow Daoist Donghua seems to be in a bad mood today?"

"Yes!"

Why?

"Because of you!"

Fuxi was a little confused. What does your bad mood have to do with you?

What does that mean?

Donghua looked up at the heavens, then at Fuxi, and slowly said:

"A storm is brewing, and the wind is howling. Calamity is already emerging in the Primordial World, and the secrets of Heavenly Secret are beginning to fall into chaos. This also signifies the arrival of another great calamity."

"The calamity aura originated after the last Lich War, so the main protagonists of this great calamity should be the Heavenly Court and the Earthly Court."

"Fellow Daoist Fuxi, I don't understand you. Why did you come to the Purple Mansion at this time, thus further escalating the conflict between the Purple Mansion and the Heavenly Court?"

Fuxi, holding a folding fan (transformed from the Fuxi Qin), stood atop the Suspended Peak, overlooking the Three Islands and Ten Continents. This time, he did not state the reason for his previous visit, but instead asked:

"Fellow Daoist Donghua, who do you think will win between the Lich and Demon factions?"

"Have no idea!"

"You know that!"

"I have no idea!"

The two fell silent again.

Fuxi suddenly said, "The Northern Black Origin Water Controlling Banner among the Five Directions Innate Banners is in Kunpeng's hands, but he has never used it because he is wary of Di Jun!"

Why did Fellow Daoist Fuxi help me?

Fuxi smiled and said, "Because I believe that in this great calamity, there will be no victor among the Lich Kings. The victor will be the Purple Mansion, and it will be you, Donghua, the East King Gong!"

Donghua chuckled self-deprecatingly, staring blankly at the heavens, and said, "Fellow Daoist, you have such great confidence in me? You should know that I have absolutely no confidence. Besides, the Heavenly Court's army is about to press in, and it's still uncertain whether the Primordial Wilderness even has Purple Mansion!"

"Those who follow the Way receive much help, while those who stray from the Way receive little help. The former Di Jun was one who followed the Way, enjoying a high reputation and being greatly respected among all races. That is why the demon race exists today."

At this point, Fuxi paused, let out a long sigh, and his eyes were filled with helplessness and vicissitudes.

"Even I, the Green Emperor of the Demon Clan and the Heavenly Court Xi Huang, thought that establishing the Demon Clan was a good thing, but in the end, it was a miscalculation. Establishing the Demon Clan was a complete blunder. If there were no Demon Clan and only the Heavenly Court, the Primordial Wilderness would have been unified long ago."

"Truly, their rise and fall both stemmed from the demon race."

Donghua thought about it and felt that what Fuxi said made a lot of sense. Although many people and races gave up their original identities and joined the demon race, there were still some who were unwilling to join, which is why the Demon Race Heavenly Court later fought in all directions.

However, this move instantly intensified the conflict between the demon race and all other races, and the demon race completely turned against everyone.

Among them, the Twelve Ancestor Witches —no, they should be the Twelve Demon Gods led by Jiang—were the first to rebel, gathering their clan and calling themselves Dijiang.

From then on, the Primordial Wilderness was engulfed in flames of war!

The story only began after Donghua's rebirth and the birth of the Witch Clan.

"But the demon race came first, then the Heavenly Court. How can this be explained?"

Fuxi sighed again after hearing this, and then said, "Therefore, from the moment Di Jun established the demon race, he either conquered all races with his own, or he failed!"

Donghua nodded in agreement with this point, agreeing with his analysis, which was also the main reason for the failure of the Three Clans and the Lich.

It wasn't until Saint was born and Haotian took charge of the Heavenly Court that the Heavenly Court truly lived up to its name, Act as Heaven's Emissary and governing the world.

However, Haotian's reputation was not good, and all races were not convinced. Even the human race, the protagonist of the Primordial Wilderness in later generations, once attacked Haotian.

Although he failed each time, Haotian was reincarnated repeatedly until he became the Six Jade Emperor.

"So, what does Fuxi want to do?"

This time, Donghua was direct and didn't beat around the bush. Although he caused Fuxi to leave the Heavenly Court because of his influence, Fuxi did not side with the Purple Mansion.

He needed to know Fuxi's true thoughts.

After all, Fuxi also had the destiny of Heavenly Emperor!

Fuxi said solemnly, "With the arrival of the Great Tribulation and the retreat of the Lich King and Demon King, the Primordial Wilderness needs a new Heavenly Emperor, and this person is none other than you, fellow Daoist!"

Donghua laughed heartily upon hearing this, and pointed at Fuxi, saying, "Then why isn't this Heavenly Emperor you, Fuxi?"

"Because I am the Azure Green Emperor, the Xi Huang of the Demon Race Heavenly Court, even though I have left, this title will remain forever."

"A defeated demon race, a dormant Demon Race Heavenly Court, can never produce a new Heavenly Emperor. No one will agree, no one will consent, so how could he possibly become the Heavenly Emperor?"

Donghua was taken aback; he hadn't really thought of that, but Fuxi said did make sense.

Even if Fuxi had the destiny of becoming the Heavenly Emperor at that time, no one would recommend him to Heavenly Emperor, because no one would want the demon race to rise again.

Just like the Dragon, Phoenix, and Kirin Three Clans today, you can exist and you can develop. But if you want to dominate the Primordial Wilderness again, it will inevitably be a situation where all races fight together and many Great Powers are involved.

Donghua asked again, "Since you approve of me and the Purple Mansion so much, why are you unwilling to join?"

Fuxi shook his head and said, "If I were to join now, you and Purple Mansion would be in true peril, because at that time, the Lich King and the Demon King would inevitably join forces to destroy Purple Mansion."

"So the time is not right!"

Donghua was speechless after hearing this, because what he said was absolutely right. Finally, he said helplessly:

"But I really never wanted to be the Heavenly Emperor!"

Fuxi:(_)

Fuxi didn't answer, but only glared at Donghua with disdain. "Fellow Daoist, since we've already come this far, why bother lying to me anymore!"

If you don't want to, then who does? Are all the actions of the Purple Mansion fake? Is that imperial demeanor you possess fake? Don't you have any self-awareness?

Donghua sighed helplessly and stopped explaining. He knew no one would believe him anyway, and besides, he didn't have any confidence in saying it now.

Because for him now, it seems like this is the only path he has left!

"Since Fellow Daoist Donghua wishes to collect all Five Directional Banners, I can help you obtain the Xuan Yuan Water Control Banner. As for Kunpeng, leave him to me. In any case, as long as the Heavenly Court exists, he won't dare to use it."

"Very well, then thank you very much Fellow Daoist Fuxi!"

P. S.: This chapter was really hard to write, so here's a 10,000-word update at midnight!
