If we're talking about angel investors in the Primordial Wilderness world, then Hong Yun is undoubtedly the most successful one. All his initial efforts have now paid off.

It can hardly be called angel investment, after all, the preciousness of the Primordial Violet Qi is far beyond what a Celestial Venerable position can compare to or offset.

But attaining the Heavenly Venerable's position is just the beginning!

Moreover, if the Primordial Violet Qi were still in Hong Yun's hands, he probably wouldn't be alive now!

Because at that time, his opponents were not only Di Jun, Taiyi, and Dijiang, but also Dong Hua. In the struggle for the Great Donghua, there was no room for sentiment. Moreover, he was not familiar with Hong Yun at that time. His true Daoist friend was Zhen Yuanzi, not Hong Yun!

When Donghua chose the path of the emperor, he was determined to obtain the Primordial Violet Qi in Hong Yun's possession. However, to his surprise, the other party actually offered up the Primordial Violet Qi.

Perhaps this is the best ending, for both Hong Yun and Donghua!

This not only preserved and enhanced the friendship between the two Daoists, but also brought tremendous benefits to both sides. Moreover, thanks to the karmic connection of the Primordial Violet Qi, Donghua would do his utmost to help Hong Yun attain enlightenment.

Inside the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, Donghua waved the Heavenly Book in his hand, drawing upon the Heavenly Dao Power to project the gods of the Heavenly Court into the Primordial Wilderness.

As the Heavenly Dao Power Luck Power intertwined, divine light and immortal light illuminated the Primordial World. All living beings and Immortals and Gods appeared in the world one after another, receiving the worship of all living beings. In short, it was a public appearance.

Donghua put away the Heavenly Book of Investiture of the Gods the Gods and proclaimed loudly, "Now that the gods of Heavenly Court have been appointed, all gods must fulfill their divine duties and not fail the expectations of Heaven, Earth, and all living beings, as well as mine!"

"If the gods fail to fulfill their divine duties, then don't blame me for showing no mercy with my God -God-Beating Whip!"

The God-Beating Whip in Donghua's hand is not Innate Spiritual Treasure. It was merely something he crafted himself using the Heavenly Dao Power and the Heavenly Court Destiny. However, it can strike the gods of the Heavenly Court, making it a Divine Dao treasure.

In fact, the God-Beating Whip is only used for punishment. The real trump card is the Heavenly Emperor Seal and the Heavenly Book. With the two together, even the Six Imperial Sovereigns and Donghua can be abolished with a single word.

This is the transcendence of the Great Heavenly Venerate Heavenly Emperor!

Although he cannot abolish the positions of the Six Emperors, he can abolish the Six Imperial Sovereigns and replace them with a more suitable Great Emperor.

So power meant nothing to him; what truly mattered was luck!

Donghua looked at the people of the Heavenly Court, as well as the various Immortals and Gods who had come to observe the ceremony, and then spoke:

"This Investiture of the Gods is now concluded!"

"At the beginning of a new era, with the Heavenly Court newly established, and at this time of renewal for all things, we cordially invite all immortals and leaders from all directions to the Heavenly Court to discuss the Heavenly Laws and establish the Heavenly Court Rules. From this day forward, the Heavenly Court shall govern the world according to the Heavenly Laws and Decrees. From this day forward, the Heavenly Laws and Decrees shall be revised once every new era. This is the first rule of the Heavenly Rules, and it shall not be changed!"

With the Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods over, the next step is the Heavenly Laws and Decrees, which is the most important matter after the establishment of the Heavenly Court. Even the Yao Court and the Witch Court had their own systems, and the Heavenly Court is no exception. Moreover, these Heavenly Laws and Decrees will cover the entire Primordial World and all living beings in the ten directions.

"Great Heavenly Venerate Venerable is merciful; we will certainly do our utmost to serve the laws of Heaven!"

In fact, most of the people who come to the Heavenly Court today are here for the Heavenly Laws and Decrees, and they don't care about the matter of Investiture of the Gods, since it has no bearing on their interests.

However, the laws of nature are different; each one concerns their interests, or the interests of their respective factions. How could they not come?

"Taiyuan, are there any invited guests who have not yet arrived?"

Taiyuan announced, "Reporting to the Great Heavenly Venerate, all four thousand one hundred and sixty-two invited guests have arrived!"

Donghua nodded and said, "Good, very good. This meeting is a representative meeting, with only one person from each race, religion, sect, and world participating. The Heavenly Court is not included in this rule!"

"This Heavenly Rules Conference is personally presided over by me and will be held in the Tongming Hall of the Great Luo Heaven. The Myriad Gods Heavenly Venerate and the Heavenly Sovereign Great Emperor Fuxi will be in charge of all affairs, assisted by the Five Directional Emperors, and the Heavenly Official Tai Hua Great Emperor will coordinate all parties!"

Upon hearing Donghua's command, everyone could sense the importance the Heavenly Court placed on the Heavenly Laws. Even Donghua, the Hun Yuan Heavenly Emperor, was personally involved—this lineup was truly impressive!

"I will obey the Great Heavenly Venerate's decree!"

With the conclusion of the Heavenly Court Investiture of the Gods of gods, the gods who had been appointed quickly returned to their positions, and the Heavenly Court system began to function. Various procedures gradually took shape, but as it was in its early stages, there were still many imperfections.

There's nothing we can do about it; we can only try to improve things gradually in the future.

In the Jingyang Palace, Donghua Nuwa each sat on one side, playing Dao Chess and drinking spiritual tea.

Nuwa spoke up, "Junior brother, the Three Pure Ones and the two from the Western Region are about to attain Attain Sainthood, but the human race is still too weak to support the status of the Lord of Humanity, let alone defeat all races. Therefore, this struggle for the Human Dao Destiny and Fortune is full of many variables. I wonder if you have any plans, junior brother?"

Donghua looked at the chessboard before him, pointed a finger, and a white piece landed on the board, instantly killing a whole group of Nuwa's pieces. The Great Dao was severed, and the game ended.

He then calmly took a sip of spiritual tea and said, "Senior sister, since we're playing chess, don't get distracted. See, you've lost. Quickly hand over the spiritual treasure!"

Nuwa wasn't annoyed. She casually tossed out a spirit pearl, Donghua caught and examined. He jokingly said, "Senior Sister is truly wealthy. She casually throws out a Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. Junior Brother is impressed!"

The wager between the two was an Innate Spiritual Treasure, but Nuwa's willingness to grant him Mid-grade Spirit Treasure was indeed beyond his expectations.

"The outcome of the struggle for humanity has been decided and cannot be changed. The only remaining variables are the Human Dao Destiny and Fortune and the Mysterious Yellow Merit."

At this point, Donghua's eyes turned cold, and he slowly said, "Only 40% of the Human Dao Destiny and Fortune needs to be left to humanity; the remaining 60% is ours, and what we are fighting for is this 60% of fortune and merit!"

The overall fortune of humanity is immense. If people can truly gather together, several Hunyuan Experts will surely emerge, just like the Six Sages.

Nuwa frowned and said, "Isn't forty percent too much? This forty percent power is enough to give birth to two Hun Yuan. Future rulers of humanity cannot be as powerful as the Lich King, otherwise they will definitely develop unwarranted ambitions!"

Donghua smiled and asked, "Is this your idea, or..."

"This is my idea, but the Three Pure Ones think the same way!"

"So how much fortune and merit do you plan to leave for the human race?" At this moment, Donghua finally understood why the human race would become increasingly useless in the future.

The Heavenly Dao has six sages, and the Earthly Dao also has a powerful figure like Houtu, whose strength is in no way inferior to the six sages. This is the result after the Earthly Dao's fortune was divided up.

However, there is not a single Hunyuan Expert in the human realm. It is likely that the Three Sovereigns of later generations were either at the Peak Quasi-Saint or had broken through to Quasi-Saint but had not yet Attain Hunyuan Dao.

Donghua didn't actually experience it, so he couldn't judge the Three Sovereigns' specific cultivation levels, but the only thing he was certain of was that they hadn't attained the Attain Hunyuan Dao.

In fact, the lower his current moral strength is, the better it is for him. First, his Emperor's Seat will be more secure, and no force in the Primordial Wilderness will ever rival the Heavenly Court again. Second, he will be able to obtain more fortune and merit, which can be used to enhance his strength.

However, this kind of benefit is only an immediate benefit, or rather, a benefit in the Primordial Wilderness world. But in the entire chaos, there is not only the Primordial Wilderness world, but also Three Thousand Worlds.

If Donghua wants to go further, break through the Hun Yuan, and achieve the Great Dao realm, he must take a long-term view and not destroy the potential of the human race just because he is worried that they will threaten his rule.

If that's the case, how can he possibly reach a higher realm in the future, especially since he's cultivating the path of the emperor!

"Senior sister, you and I have both been to the Western God Realm, so the chaos is vast. Sometimes we shouldn't just focus on the Primordial World. Humanity should rise up and become the true overlords of humanity, instead of being herded like cattle and sheep!"

Nuwa fell silent upon hearing this!

While a deposed ruler of humanity may indeed serve the interests of Saint, allowing them to gain more fortune and merit, this approach is essentially killing the goose that lays the golden eggs—a one-time benefit that cannot last.

The human race will be able to provide them with less and less fortune in the future, so it is indeed a losing proposition.

Thinking of this, Nuwa's eyes shone with a light, and the Dao aura around her manifested. The Creation Great Dao filled Jingyang Palace, then covered the Heaven Realm, and subsequently, the Three Thousand Great Daos emerged one by one.

After a long while, Nuwa ended this state, bowed deeply to Donghua, and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Junior Brother. Otherwise, I would have gone astray and never been able to attain the Great Dao!"

Donghua smiled, but inwardly he was horrified. How could these people be so talented? Just a few words from him were enough to make Nuwa understand the Dao Heart again. It was truly enviable.

After this enlightenment, Nuwa will no longer face any bottlenecks within the Hunyuan Triple Heaven. She will simply need to cultivate to the peak of the Third Heaven naturally.

He had finally broken through to such a level, surpassing everyone in the Primordial Wilderness; was he really going to be overtaken like this?

Donghua's heart remained unsettled for a long time!

Nuwa on the other side felt the same way. In the past, she only acknowledged Donghua's strength, but this time she was truly impressed by Donghua's magnanimity.

"Donghua is indeed suited to be the Primordial Wilderness Heavenly Emperor!"

The two had their own thoughts, but what they were thinking was completely different.

"Junior brother, do you still remember our promise?" Nuwa suddenly asked.

Donghua thought for a moment and immediately understood that Nuwa was referring to the Chaos War they had agreed upon!

"Alright, I also want to know just how strong Senior Sister really is!"

As soon as they finished speaking, the two vanished from the Heaven Realm, reappearing in the outer chaos.

The two traveled through the chaos, and after leaving the Primordial Wilderness, they began to gather their strength.

The powerful forces of creation Emperor Dao Power caused chaotic turbulence, and endless Chaos Storm formed around the two, yet they could not affect them in any way.

Nuwa, wielding Red Embroidery Saber, gathered the Great Dao Power and unleashed a single strike carrying boundless light of creation. In an instant, the blade tore through the chaos, and a power that shattered chaos, created heaven and earth, and reversed time and space transformed into endless blade rays, hurtling towards Donghua.

The Creation Divine Light filled the chaos, transforming the dark, mysterious chaos into a kaleidoscope of colors.

Donghua did not retreat, but instead stepped forward. With a thought, the true form of the Heavenly Emperor appeared. He took a step forward, and with this step, invisible ripples spread forward—this was the power of time.

Then a phantom materialized and charged forward once more; this was the Great Dao Power of Space.

Time and space merge!

However, at this moment, the power of spacetime seemed to be more than just spacetime; it also seemed to be the Emperor Dao Power, and it also seemed to be accompanied by other great principles such as Yin Yang and Five Elements and the Five Elements.

"The Heavenly Emperor Steps Through Time!"

This divine power, which was comprehended from the Jade Plate of Creation, has undergone another transformation in Donghua's hands. He now governs everything with the Emperor's Way, evolving time and space, and time and space are the Emperor's Way.

"Boom!"

A deafening roar erupted from the chaos!

Space and time converged, unleashing the power of spacetime. Wherever spacetime passed, it instantly reduced all of Nuwa's attacks to nothingness, leaving no trace of her sword energy.

Meanwhile, the power of spacetime had not yet ceased. The phantom, stirring up ripples of time, once again attacked Nuwa, attempting to suppress and seal her.

Nuwa frowned slightly upon seeing this, but her movements remained unchanged. She spun her Red Embroidery Saber, gathering the power of time and space, and then unleashed a beam of light that collided with Donghua's power of time and space!

"Buzz!"

The greatest sound is silent; it was as if nothing had happened. All the attacks and strange phenomena vanished into nothingness in this collision.

With this round over, both sides understood each other's strength, so neither rushed to launch the next attack, but instead focused on gathering the Great Dao Power once again.

Nuwa directly revealed her true form, with a human body and a snake tail. Her enormous true form stood in the chaos, and many spiritual treasures, such as the Precious Lotus Lamp, the Heaven and Earth Cauldron, the Map of Mountains and Rivers, and the Nuwa Stone, were successively refined and created.

Donghua was not arrogant either. He stepped on the Twelve-grade Pure World White Lotus, with the Heavenly Emperor Seal above his head and the Heavenly Emperor Sword in his hand, and launched the first attack.

Swish!

Donghua's figure vanished from his original spot in an instant, and when he reappeared, he was already behind Nuwa, wielding the Heavenly Emperor Sword in his hand, unleashing a terrifying sword beam.

Nuwa was caught off guard and reacted too late. The Precious Lotus Lamp behind her was cleaved away by Donghua's sword, its light dimming instantly and floating silently in the chaos, clearly damaged.

The power of this sword strike did not stop, and it struck Nuwa's true form directly.

"Puff!"

Golden Hun Yuan blood is spilled across the chaos!

A single drop of blood was enough to suppress the Chaos Storm!

Nuwa gently touched the sword wounds on her body, her face full of anger.

She's injured!

She didn't know how long it had been since she had suffered such a serious injury; the last time was when she fought against the Pangu True Body.

Then, a powerful fighting spirit, accompanied by the Great Dao Power, surged towards Donghua!

The two instantly clashed!

Beneath the swords, chaos was torn apart, heaven and earth were created, Earth Fire Water Wind appeared, only to dissipate in the battle.

At a certain moment, Nuwa directly summoned her Red Embroidery Saber, and a red light flashed as it attacked.

"Boom!"

With a single swing of his sword, he sliced Red Embroidered Ball to pieces!

Just as Donghua was about to press his advantage, a burst of five-colored light instantly enveloped his entire body, and the powerful force seemed to be suppressing him.

Donghua was shocked. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was a Great Cauldron radiating five-colored light. However, judging from its Daoist aura, it was clearly an Innate Supreme Treasure. But at this moment, he had no time to think further and directly summoned the Heavenly Emperor Seal to meet it.

"Boom!"

The two collided, sending the Great Cauldron flying and the Heavenly Emperor Seal being knocked aside.

Just as Donghua was about to attack again, another chaotic, dark light descended, followed by the manifestation of five-colored light around him, and a world directly collided with the Pure World White Lotus.

"Weng!"

The Heaven and Earth Cauldron was turned upside down, directly suppressing Donghua and his sword inside.

Nuwa then flew over, and the Map of Mountains and Rivers in her hand transformed into a world, sealing it at the mouth of the cauldron.

"Am I sealed away?"

Inside the Heaven and Earth Cauldron, Donghua was incredulous; he truly hadn't expected Nuwa to possess such methods.

The world that disrupted its own attack and defense was likely created by Nuwa in an instant, and then the Heaven and Earth Cauldron, which had been waiting for a long time, was overturned and sealed itself.

"A brilliant plan!"

At this moment, Donghua thought of the Six Desires Heavenly Demon that Nuwa had suppressed and refined in the Western Continent in the past. He guessed that the Six Desires Heavenly Demon felt the same way he did now.

Despite being of a higher realm than Nuwa, she was still sealed within the Heaven and Earth Cauldron.

Nuwa stood on the seal of the Map of Mountains and Rivers, looked at Donghua inside the Heaven and Earth Cauldron, chuckled, and teased, "Junior brother, do you submit?"

Donghua said, "Senior Sister's methods are indeed extraordinary, but what I don't understand is, what was that five-colored cauldron before?"

Nuwa casually recalled the Creation Cauldron that had been knocked away and replied, "This cauldron is called the Creation Cauldron. It is Innate Supreme Treasure, which I forged using Chaos Source Qi!"

Donghua nodded. Nuwa had also obtained Innate Purple Qi and Chaos Source Qi in the past. It seemed that this Creation Cauldron was Innate Supreme Treasure that Nuwa had crafted for herself.

"It seems that Senior Sister has been planning this battle for a long time. She probably even thought of how to deal with me beforehand?"

Nuwa smiled and said, "I never fight a battle I'm not sure I can win!"

Donghua chuckled lightly, teasingly asking, "Does Senior Sister really think this will seal me away?"

Nuwa frowned. She couldn't figure out how Donghua could break free from the seal, using the Heaven and Earth Cauldron, the Mountain and Map of Mountains and Rivers, and her own Creation Great Dao.

If Donghua can break free of the seal like this, she will truly be convinced!

"Then junior brother can try to break free from the seal!"

Donghua remained silent because he truly couldn't break free from the seal from within. He had already tried when he was first sealed, but to no avail. To break this seal, one would need at least the strength of the Fourth Heaven.

If he were to use the Heavenly Dao Power, he could indeed do it, but in doing so, he would lose this battle.

After all, this is just a competition; what's the point of both sides using the Heavenly Dao Power?

"What will happen to Senior Sister if I break free from the seal?"

Nuwa said, "So be it. I'll concede defeat in this battle; I'm no match for my junior brother!"

The two had already fought before, and he knew he couldn't beat Donghua; the difference between the second and Third Heaven was truly vast.

"How about we make a bet?"

"No gambling!"

Nuwa's answer was firm, because she had never won a bet with Donghua.

Donghua laughed heartily, then closed his eyes slightly. The Great Dao Power surged around him, and the Emperor Dao Power filled the Heaven and Earth Cauldron, impacting the seals of the Map of Mountains and Rivers and the Heaven and Earth Cauldron.

But it still didn't work after trying many times!

Nuwa laughed and said, "Junior brother, just give up struggling. I've tried to break this seal before; it's impossible without the strength of the Fourth Heaven!"

Nuwa was not lying about this. She had indeed tried to mobilize the Heavenly Dao Power before, just as she said, she never fights a battle she is not sure of winning!

But just as Nuwa finished speaking, a beam of light shot out from the chaos.

"When!"

A bell rang out, echoing through the chaos, before striking the Heaven and Earth Cauldron directly. Donghua seized the opportunity, wielding the Heavenly Emperor Sword, unleashing a golden sword beam.

The Heavenly Emperor Sword and the Heavenly Emperor Seal, two Innate Supreme Treasure, unleash their power simultaneously!

"Boom!"

The seal on the Map of Mountains and Rivers has been broken!

Donghua broke free from the cauldron!

Nuwa looked at the Heavenly Emperor Seal, which had transformed into the shape of the Chaos Bell, and said nothing. She silently put away the Heaven and Earth Cauldron and the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

"I lost this battle!"
