Time flies like an arrow, and three thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye. This period was also the quietest time in the Primordial World, with everyone immersed in cultivation, visiting friends, and indulging in the beauty of nature.

Enjoying the tranquility of the Primordial World, after all, no one knows when the next war, or even the Great Calamity, will arrive.

After Donghua attained enlightenment, the Heavenly Court did not become arrogant and domineering as one might have imagined, nor did it force all the forces of the Primordial Wilderness to worship Heavenly Court. Instead, there was a sense of peace.

It was as if the Heavenly Court had vanished from everyone's sight; neither Donghua nor the Heavenly Court Emperor Lord could be seen.

However, no one dared to ignore the existence of Donghua and the Heavenly Court, because those who truly understood knew that the Heavenly Court was cultivating its internal strength, which meant absorbing the power boost brought about by the fortune.

But this kind of increase in strength will eventually come to an end. That will be the first time that the Heavenly Court will face the Primordial Wilderness and display its majestic power as the ruler of the Three Realms!

This is why there are undercurrents among the various forces in the Primordial Wilderness, but none of them dare to take the lead in launching an attack. They are afraid of giving the Heavenly Court an opportunity and a reason to destroy them.

After all, the nail that sticks out gets hammered down!

Even the Primordial Wilderness is no exception!

In the Heaven Realm, the busy work of the Heavenly Court personnel has ended, those who were in seclusion for cultivation have emerged, and all the palaces in the Heavenly Court have been completed.

A brand new Heavenly Court has been established!

Meanwhile, Donghua, who was in seclusion at the Jingyang Palace, had reached a crucial moment in his cultivation.

Inside the main hall, all three thousand perfect Daos were arranged in front of Donghua. Each Dao was different, yet they were closely connected, transforming into one another, endlessly regenerating. This was the Hunyuan Great Dao.

At this moment, Donghua not only possessed the Three Thousand Great Daos, but also the Heavenly Dao Power that he had completely mastered. This was no longer the Heavenly Dao Power obtained through spiritual treasures or bestowed by others, but the power carried by his own Heavenly Emperor status.

With a single thought, one can observe all living beings in the Primordial Wilderness!

The Heavenly Dao Power formed Heavenly Dao rules around Donghua, and within these rules, no one whose strength did not exceed that of Donghua could break free from their constraints, including Hun Yuan.

"It's time for the Heavenly Rules to be unveiled!"

The Heavenly Rules are not merely laws, but also the cornerstone of the Heavenly Court's rule over the Primordial World, and an application of the Heavenly Dao Power the Donghua Heavenly Dao.

Once the Heavenly Rules are revealed and recognized by all living beings, then within the Heavenly Rules, no one can do anything to Donghua. Even if it is just a mortal object, as long as the power of the Heavenly Rules is injected, even Hun Yuan cannot break this mortal object. This is the most terrifying aspect of the Heavenly Emperor's position.

"Establish morality, create writing, Perfect Systems, and Form Heavenly Rules!" This was what Donghua promised to the Heavenly Dao.

"Then let's start with words!"

The establishment of morality cannot be accomplished overnight; it requires a long process, much like the Zhou rites and the Hundred Schools of Thought in the Spring and Autumn Period. The spread of morality is also a form of cultural dissemination, which cannot be accomplished by Donghua alone; it requires the efforts of many people.

This is also part of the Human Teachings!

Establishing sound celestial rules is no easy task, as it requires the approval of all living beings in the Primordial Wilderness world and the Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos. Therefore, after much consideration, only writing is currently the only feasible method.

In the Primordial Wilderness today, each faction has its own script, but the most widely used are the script of the Great Dao, the Demon Script, and the Witch Script!

Therefore, what Donghua needs to do is to create a script suitable for all living beings in the Primordial Wilderness, and then replace all existing scripts, making it the script widely used in the Primordial Wilderness.

This is what we call standardizing writing!

It is truly an act of supreme merit!

But it is also a truly heaven-defying act, because words are the carrier of the Great Way, and a single article can describe the Great Way!

Of course, this refers to actual writing, not ordinary writing. If you try to create ordinary writing, the Great Dao will simply ignore you.

Donghua wanted to create two kinds of scripts: one for those above the Immortal Realm and one for those below. However, he wanted the two scripts to be exactly the same, except that the Daoist meaning they contained was different.

In short, literature serves to convey moral principles!

Therefore, the writing should be simple and direct!

Donghua thought of the traditional and simplified Chinese characters of later generations, using traditional characters as the script above the Immortal Dao and simplified characters as the script below the immortal realm. The two characters represent the same meaning, but the great path they represent is completely different.

Donghua's mind was immersed in the Great Dao, and all three thousand perfect Great Daos appeared around him. Then the Great Dao began to unfold, and the Three Thousand Great Daos transformed into Three Thousand Great Daos divine scripts, which were also the earliest writing in the Primordial Wilderness.

Words are the great way!

Then Donghua continued to expound the Great Dao, presenting dragon patterns, phoenix talismans, Demon Script, and witchcraft one by one. These were all the writing systems of the Primordial Wilderness, each one profound and unfathomable, their Daoist essence enduring.

Therefore, many of the beings born in the prehistoric Primordial Wilderness are illiterate because they cannot write, or can only write a few words, making it impossible for them to record events and communicate.

What Donghua needs to do is simplify these profound texts so that everyone can use them, but it must also achieve the purpose of conveying the Dao through writing; otherwise, the created texts will be meaningless.

Donghua immersed himself in the Great Dao, evolving each Great Dao to its ultimate form, eventually creating three thousand Great Dao characters. He then continued to simplify these Great Dao characters.

At this moment, in the heavens above, as Donghua evolved the Great Dao, endless thunder appeared. This was the thunder of the Great Dao, seemingly wanting to unleash boundless thunder to destroy the appearance of these words, yet it seemed unable to descend, appearing very contradictory!

In fact, the emergence of writing is both beneficial and harmful to the Great Way, because once a universal script appears, it will lead to the leakage of the ultimate truths of the Great Way, allowing everyone to comprehend them.

However, Donghua paid no attention to the thunder in the heavens, but focused solely on creating writing.

At a certain moment, Donghua casually waved his hand, and a great path appeared in the Primordial Wilderness Sky Vault, uttering:

"Sky!"

The first word has appeared!

But it was not over yet; it was only the beginning. Donghua was creating characters at an ever-increasing speed.

"Heaven and earth were dark and yellow, the universe Primordial Wilderness..."

The Three Thousand Great Daos transformed into three thousand characters, appearing in the Sky Vault. Even a Dao Fruit Person could recognize and write these three thousand characters, but the profound principles of the Great Dao contained within them were not diminished in the slightest; it was just that different realms of understanding led to different interpretations.

With the appearance of the three thousand characters, half of the heavens above were filled with Great Dao Divine Lightning, and the other half with Mysterious Yellow Merit. Purple and golden light covered the Sky Vault, inspiring awe and fear.

But the story didn't end there. Donghua continued to interpret the three thousand characters, and finally conjured up a new three thousand characters. This time, the characters were even simpler, and even ordinary people could understand them.

"The writing is complete!"

With a casual wave of his hand, Donghua Chaotian caused the Great Dao Divine Lightning and merit to cancel each other out and disappear into the heavens. Then, using the Heavenly Dao Power, he merged these two kinds of characters into the Primordial World for people to comprehend!

At this moment, Donghua's cultivation level was improved once again, directly advancing from the early stage of the Hunyuan Triple Heaven to the Third Heaven stage.

Creating characters is also a new understanding of the Great Dao; how can Dao Realm not grow!

"Thank you, Great Heavenly Venerate!"

At this moment, all living beings in the Primordial Wilderness bowed to Donghua!

Donghua smiled softly, and his figure disappeared into the world.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

As soon as Donghua arrived at the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, several Emperor Lord arrived together.

"What is it?"

The Great Commander of Fate stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, for the past three thousand years, various forces from the Primordial Wilderness have come to the Heavenly Court to pay homage to Your Majesty, wishing to congratulate Your Majesty on attaining the Attain Hunyuan Dao and achieving the position of Heavenly Emperor!"

Donghua sat on the Emperor's Seat, with the Merit Golden Wheel behind him illuminating all the heavens and myriad realms. Mountains, rivers, the sun, moon, stars, and all living things evolved behind him, a scene automatically formed by the Great Dao Power.

"I have long planned for this. You shall proclaim to the Primordial Wilderness the Heavenly Court will convene its first meeting a hundred years from now to bestow titles upon the gods and invite all forces to establish Heavenly Laws and decrees. From this day forward, the Primordial Wilderness will be governed by Heavenly Laws!"

Taiyuan asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, the Heavenly Rules are the foundation of our Heavenly Court and the basis for governing all living beings in the Three Realms. How can we allow them to participate? We, the people of the Heavenly Court, can establish Heavenly Rules that are recognized by the Heavenly Dao!"

Haotian also stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Emperor Taiyuan is right. The laws of Heaven allow us to establish this system without their involvement. Moreover, those people only care about their own interests and don't care whether the people agree!"

Donghua smiled and glanced at the two of them. He wasn't surprised that Emperor Taiyuan said such a thing, but it was indeed unexpected that Haotian would say the same thing. It seemed that there was a reason why this guy failed in his later years. He was narrow-minded and didn't have a long-term vision.

"Fellow Daoist Fuxi, what do you think?" Donghua didn't rush to explain; he wanted to know what Fuxi was thinking.

Fuxi stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty's profound wisdom and compassion for all living beings are truly admirable. Once the Heavenly Rules are promulgated, our Heavenly Court will stand forever!"

Donghua laughed and said, "Listen to this, do you all know where the difference lies between you and Fellow Daoist Fuxi?"

Everyone was puzzled and looked at Fuxi!

Seeing that Donghua didn't want to say anything, Fuxi continued, "Inviting all forces in the Primordial Wilderness to participate in the establishment of the Heavenly Laws is cumbersome, but the resulting Heavenly Laws will be the fairest and most beneficial to all living beings in the Primordial Wilderness world, since the myriad races and various forces are not of one mind."

"Many of them are natural adversaries, so they compromise and undermine each other. We then mediate between them. This approach is actually most beneficial to us and to all living beings in the Primordial Wilderness. The heavenly rules will also be very fair and just!"

When Fuxi spoke these words, his eyes shone with a light that reflected his heartfelt joy and admiration.

"Donghua is indeed suited for the Heavenly Emperor Position!"

Upon hearing Fuxi's explanation, the group finally understood and realized how short-sighted they had been.

Taiyuan was alright; he didn't feel too ashamed, after all, he was thick-skinned, and instead bragged about Donghua to the skies.

Haotian couldn't take it anymore; his face instantly flushed red, clearly showing his deep shame.

Donghua smiled and looked at the group, saying, "Your suggestions are all very good, and they are indeed for the benefit of the Heavenly Court. However, the situation is different now than before. The Heavenly Court is not the Purple Mansion; it belongs to the Primordial Wilderness, to all living beings, and is the ruling power of the Three Realms."

"Therefore, your vision cannot be limited to the Heavenly Court. You must broaden your perspective and consider things from the viewpoint of all living beings in the Primordial Wilderness, especially matters like establishing Heavenly Rules!"

"Furthermore, after the Investiture of the Gods, you will all become the rulers of the Heavenly Court, and you must have a heart that encompasses all things and accommodates all beings."

Having said that, Donghua's face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "Otherwise, I will take back what I have bestowed upon you. I will never allow an unqualified Emperor Lord to rule the Heavenly Court!"

The men bowed and said, "Thank you for your teachings, Your Majesty. We will remember them forever and never forget them!"

Donghua hummed in agreement and asked softly, "The Heavenly Court is about to hold the Conferment of Investiture of the Gods ceremony, including for you all. What are your thoughts on your future positions?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Donghua noticed their reactions.

Fuxi remained calm and unperturbed, completely unconcerned.

Taiyuan and the Barefoot Immortal lowered their heads in deep thought, as if pondering something.

The Great Commander of Fate and the Shao Siming remained very calm.

Haotian clenched his fist slightly, then immediately released it, his face expressionless.

Longbo is fine, everything is normal!

It's understandable, really. After all these years of struggle and hard work, isn't this the day we've been hoping for?

When it came time to distribute the fruit, everyone could hardly hide their anxiety. These few Emperor Lord were relatively calm, but those at the Golden Immortal, Grand Unity, and Grand Unity realms were truly anxious; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were uneasy.

"We, your humble servants, will obey Your Majesty's decree!"

Donghua nodded, saying nothing more, but his gaze lingered on Taiyuan as he said, "I'm entrusting you with the task of hosting the representatives at this Heavenly Court meeting. You must handle it properly, especially for those parties with conflicts. Try to separate them during the arrangements to avoid disputes."

"However, I have also stated beforehand that we may argue as we please during the discussion, but anyone who dares to lay a hand on us in the Heavenly Court will be executed without exception!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Just as Donghua was about to say something, a voice rang out:

"Come to the Purple Sky Palace immediately!"

Donghua glanced at everyone in the hall; they had all clearly received the message.

"Let's go together then!"

In the Purple Sky Palace, when Donghua led the group of Quasi-Saint from Heavenly Court to arrive, Nuwa was already sitting on a futon.

"Senior Sister Nuwa, it's been a long time!" Donghua said, sitting in his seat and looking at Nuwa beside him.

Nuwa chuckled and said, "Only three thousand years? Does my junior brother miss me that much, or does he want to be with me...?"

The last words were left unsaid, but this was already embarrassing enough for Donghua, especially since the West Queen Mother was also present.

It is the unspoken words that leave room for further imagination.

The West Queen Mother behind her seemed not to have heard anything and said, "Since Sister Nuwa attained Attain Sainthood, she has never come to see her little sister. Sister Wa Huang Palace in the Heavenly Court is still preserved, so you can come and visit your little sister more often!"

"A decisive blow!" Donghua sighed inwardly; the exchange of words between this woman was truly fascinating.

Nuwa turned around and said, "Since returning from the Western God Realm, I have gained new insights into the Great Dao, which is why I have been in seclusion. I will definitely come to the Heavenly Court more often in the future, so please don't complain about my frequent visits, little sister!"

"Inciting conflict, instigating conflict like crazy!" Donghua understood the meaning behind Nuwa's words. She only said she would come to the Heavenly Court more often, but didn't say what she would do. It was truly interesting.

Donghua seemed like an outsider, listening to the two ramble on. Meanwhile, many Quasi-Saint and a few Grand Unity Immortals from the Primordial Wilderness entered the main hall.

When the gates of the Purple Sky Palace closed, Hongjun appeared on the Cloud Bed above.

"Greetings, Master/Teacher/ Dao Ancestor!"

Hongjun lightly flicked his whisk and said softly, "No need for formalities. I have summoned you here today to announce something."

"Now that the second great calamity of the Primordial World has ended, the Yao Court and the Witch Court no longer exist, but the Primordial Wilderness needs a new ruler to hold the balance of heaven, to govern Primordial Wilderness primordial world, to enlighten all heavens, to establish the way of heaven, to spread the virtue of heaven, to nurture all things, to save all living beings, and to lead all beings in the three realms and ten directions!"

"Donghua has already entered the Heavenly Court, Attain Hunyuan Dao, and achieved the position of Heavenly Emperor. This responsibility now falls on his shoulders. Do you have any other opinions, or any new candidates? Please feel free to speak up!"

As Hongjun finished speaking, the entire Purple Sky Palace fell silent. No one dared to speak, because they all understood that Hongjun was not asking them to offer suggestions. He was endorsing his disciple and making Donghua more legitimate.

Listen to what Hongjun said. Why didn't he say these things to Di Jun Dijiang back then?

Moreover, Donghua has already Attain Heavenly Emperor Position; who among them would dare to claim the title of Emperor again?

This is suicidal!

Nuwa smiled gently and said, "What Master says is true. Junior Brother Donghua has already Attain Hunyuan Dao and achieved the position of Heavenly Emperor. He should rule over all living beings in the Three Realms and Ten Directions."

As Nuwa finished speaking, everyone else in the hall echoed her words and showered Donghua with compliments.

"Thank you all for your recognition, fellow Daoists. Donghua will certainly govern the Three Realms well!"

"Since that's the case, then this matter is settled!" After Hongjun finished speaking, he looked at everyone and calmly said:

"Now that the Witch and Demon Races have retreated, humanity cannot be without a leader. A being must take charge of humanity to complete the Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos, Three Talents, and Humanity in the Primordial Wilderness world. Only when these three paths operate can the Primordial Wilderness endure!"

Upon hearing this, everyone realized the main event was about to begin. Wasn't this the very reason why Myriad Races of the Primordial World were restless? Everyone wanted to take control of humanity and become the Protagonist of Heaven and Earth.

Although the Heavenly Court now suppresses the Three Realms, and the dominance of the Witch and Demon Races is gone, this still cannot extinguish the burning passion in everyone's hearts.

Bai Ze, standing below, asked, "Teacher, although our demon race has retreated, in terms of population, we are still the largest in the Primordial Wilderness. Could we become the rulers of humanity and govern the human realm?"

Hongjun: "Alright!"

"Moreover, theoretically speaking, all Myriad Races of the Primordial World are eligible, and the Heavenly Dao will not interfere in such matters. However, the demon race possesses powerful karma and Blood Sha. Whether they can gain the recognition of humanity depends on their efforts!"

Upon receiving Hongjun's reply, Bai Ze happily said, "Thank you for enlightening me, Teacher!"

Although the demon race failed in their struggle for supremacy, it would still be good if they could become the ruler of humanity and the protagonist of the Primordial Wilderness Protagonist of Heaven and Earth.

At this moment, both Xuan Ming of the Witch Clan and Minghe, who created the Asura Race, had their own thoughts.

"If my Asura Race can become the Protagonist of Heaven and Earth, then can I also Attain Hunyuan Dao!" At this moment, Minghe's heart burned with passion, as if he saw the hope of attaining the Dao.

Donghua glanced at the numerous Great Powers and ancestors of all races behind him, each with their own thoughts, and sneered inwardly.

"You are truly overestimating yourselves. Now that the Six Sages of the Primordial Wilderness are about to return to their positions, Nuwa, the Three Pure Ones, and I have all staked our hopes on the human race. How could you possibly possibly compete with the human race!"
