Three Pure Ones Retreat in Defeat, Victory

The banquet in the Great Luo Heaven continued, and everyone was immersed in joy. Some were discussing the Great Dao with each other, all waiting for Donghua and others to expound on the Great Dao. Therefore, everyone was in a pleasant mood.

As for the Spirit Fruit and wines before them, although they were precious, they weren't enough to make them succumb to temptation.

However, what they didn't expect was that Donghua and the Six Sages above had secretly sealed the fate of humanity.

Zhunti snapped out of his shock and looked at Taishang with a grim expression. He had already figured out what had happened during the attack.

This shows that Taishang had been wary of the two of them all along, and he knew their weaknesses perfectly well. That move just now was spot on, and he still felt a sense of lingering fear when he thought about it.

Zhunti fixed his gaze on Donghua. He was well aware of Donghua and Nuwa's thoughts, but he had no choice but to get involved.

The fortune and merit brought by the Three Sovereigns far exceeded those of the Five Emperors, so he would not give up as long as there was even the slightest chance.

Zhunti looked at Yuanshi and said, "Yuanshi Brother Yuanshi, our Western Continent is also part of the Primordial Wilderness. My senior brother and I are also disciples of the Mystic Sect and Daoist Venerables of the Mystic Sect. The Eight Hundred Side Gates techniques were also personally taught by our Master!"

"I don't care what you thought of us and the Western Region before, but if you say such things again in the future, I, Zhunti, will never forgive you. We are both Hunyuan Saint, so let's be mindful of our words!"

These words were even more exciting than when he had just tried to drag Yuanshi to the Purple Sky Palace. Donghua looked at Zhunti in front of him as if he were seeing this Future Buddha Mother of Buddhas of Buddhism for the first time.

"These two are indeed capable of leading Buddhist Teachings to separate from the Mystic Sect and establish a separate Buddhist Sect in the future. Especially Jieyin, whose strength is truly terrifying, with the Great Dream of Three Thousand, the Three Thousand combined into one, and the Nirvana of Nothingness."

Upon hearing Zhunti's words, Yuanshi's face turned extremely ugly. This was the first time he had been threatened, and the person threatening him was none other than Zhunti, whom he had always looked down upon.

The Yuanshi appeared and disappeared intermittently, clearly indicating that he had reached his limit of endurance, and perhaps the Pangu Banner would be released at any moment.

Jieyin said "Excellent, excellent," and then continued, "I agree with what Senior Brother Taishang just said. The last Human Emperor will be proposed by us in the Western Region, but you Three Teachings can also compete for it. Whoever wins and whoever loses will be decided in due time!"

"Good!"

"Who is the candidate you proposed?"

After thinking for Jieyin, Jieyin secretly communicated with Zhunti and said after a long while, "The Heavenly Sovereign, the Earth Sovereign, and the Human Sovereign were the three earliest humans to be born. These three also had a great connection with Senior Sister Nuwa and Senior Brother Donghua. Now that the Human Sovereign has fallen and the Earth Sovereign's personality is not suitable for the position of Human Emperor, I propose the Heavenly Sovereign of the human race as the candidate!"

What are your thoughts, fellow senior brothers and sisters?

Without a second thought, Donghua said, "That's excellent! If none of the Three Human Emperors were truly human, it would be a laughing stock. If the Heavenly Sovereign could ascend to the throne of the Human Emperor, that would indeed be wonderful!"

Nuwa smiled and said, "I am deeply grateful for the kind intentions of my two junior brothers, and I support their opinion."

The Three Pure Ones instantly understood. It seemed that these people had planned this all along, and even the introduction of Jieyin and Zhunti into the scheme was part of their plan.

Truly, if you're quick at one step, you'll be quick at every step!

Taishang sighed. At this point, there was no other way. If they refused again, it would be a 4v3 battle. Donghua, Nuwa, and Jieyin all very strong, and the three brothers really couldn't win.

Looking at the four people in front of them, the only option was to divide and conquer them. They couldn't let them continue to unite, otherwise the three of them would always be at a disadvantage.

"In that case, we accept the Human Emperor!"

After Taishang finished speaking, he looked at Donghua with a deep gaze and asked, "I wonder how Junior Brother Donghua intends to arrange things for Hong Yun and Fuxi?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed. Yuanshi and Tongtian looked like they were watching a show, Nuwa also seemed a little anxious, as this was the issue she was most concerned about.

Jieyin and Zhunti looked at Donghua, wondering how Donghua would handle the situation. If things weren't handled properly, either the alliance would break down, or Donghua would lose the support of the people.

This seems to be an unsolvable problem!

Donghua laughed heartily, completely unconcerned about the Three Pure Ones' scheme, because he had already made preparations. Fortunately, he and Hong Yun had discussed it in advance, otherwise they would have really suffered today.

With a thought, Donghua instantly pulled Fuxi and Hong Yun into the conversation among the group.

As soon as their Divine Sense entered, both of them seemed a little lost. They could sense that the atmosphere in the room was not good, and the pressure emanating from each person was really strong, making it difficult for Fuxi and Hong Yun to adapt.

"Fellow Daoist Fuxi, I wish for you to be reincarnated as the first Human Emperor of the Human Path and the Human Race, leading the Human Race to subdue and embrace all other races, thus becoming the Protagonist of Heaven and Earth, and thus shaping the future of the Human Path. Is this your wish?"

Upon hearing this, Fuxi smiled happily. He had long known that the first Human Emperor had been able to Attain Hunyuan Dao, so how could he not be happy? He was about to say something when he saw Hong Yun beside him and instantly understood.

Fuxi was an exceptionally intelligent man, and upon seeing the atmosphere and the Hong Yun, he instantly understood the whole story.

"Fellow Daoist Donghua, Great Heavenly Venerate Venerable, and all the Saint, Fuxi's fortune is too shallow to be worthy of the first Human Emperor. Fellow Daoist Hongyun's cultivation and character are both of the highest caliber, so let Fellow Daoist Hongyun sit on the throne of the first Human Emperor!"

Making this decision was painful and difficult for Fuxi, but he knew the situation of Donghua and his younger sister, and did not want to put them in a difficult position, so he had no other choice.

Fuxi's words stunned the Three Pure Ones. They couldn't believe that anyone could resist the temptation of Hun Yuan. Was Fuxi some kind of fool?

Nuwa looked anxiously at Fuxi, about to say something, but Fuxi's resolute expression showed that he had made up his mind, so she didn't say anything.

The first Human Emperor did indeed have the possibility of Attain Hunyuan Dao, but it was only a possibility, not a certainty. Even Fuxi himself gave up on it, so how could he possibly Attain Hunyuan Dao?

As Fuxi finished speaking, the scene fell silent for a moment.

Suddenly, a laugh rang out; it was Hong Yun!

Hong Yun looked at everyone and said, "I appreciate Fellow Daoist Fuxi Dao Heart's kindness. In fact, Fellow Daoist Donghua had already discussed this matter with me before. He said that as long as I am willing to be the first Human Emperor, he will fully support me."

"But I had already given up at that time. The responsibility of being the first Human Emperor is too great, and my carefree heart is simply not suited for it."

At this point, Hong Yun looked at Fuxi and calmly said, "Although I chose the position of the second Human Emperor myself, I still have some reservations. After all, it is the Hunyuan Position. Who can give it up so easily?"

"But after hearing what Fellow Daoist Fuxi said just now, the last trace of resentment in my heart has vanished. Fellow Daoist is indeed suitable for the position of the first Human Emperor."

Quiet!

Silence!

This space of Divine Sense was utterly silent!

The Three Pure Ones, Jieyin and Zhunti, Nuwa, and the others all looked at Fuxi and Hong Yun with expressions of utter disbelief.

Outrageous!

This is outrageous!

Who would have thought that the throne of the Human Emperor, the position of the Hun Yuan, would be passed around among people?

The Three Pure Ones looked as if they had eaten a mouthful of hot excrement, their expressions extremely ugly, and even the Tongtian wore an expression of disbelief.

Fuxi turned to look at Hong Yun, wanting to say something, but Hong Yun stopped him.

"Fellow Daoist Fuxi, please stop speaking. In the past, we were fellow Daoists who drove out the demon race. Later, we listened to the Dao together in the Purple Sky Palace and were both Dao Ancestor. Now we can be considered as fellow ministers in the same palace, sharing a bond of brotherhood. In the future, we will both be reincarnated as humans, which can also be considered as a bond of kinship!"

Hong Yun's sincere words moved not only Fuxi, but also Donghua and the others.

At this moment, Hong Yun seemed to radiate light, illuminating Donghua, Three Pure Ones, and the others in the dust. They were all scheming, but never thought that they were fellow disciples.

The terms "senior brother," "senior sister," and "junior brother" that we usually use to address each other seem like a huge irony at this moment.

"Fellow Daoist Hongyun's noble character is Tongtian admirable!"

Tongtian spoke first. He was a man of strong emotions, and although he didn't understand Hong Yun's personality, he admired him greatly.

Yuanshi and Taishang didn't say anything more. They had thought of everything except the human heart.

It was thought that the conflict between Fuxi and Hong Yun would break the alliance between Nuwa and Donghua, and further alienate Donghua and his subordinates. This was an open scheme, an unsolvable one.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly open scheme ultimately failed due to the influence of people's hearts!

Indeed, the Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and by removing one, anything is possible!

Fuxi said in a deep voice, "Very well, Fuxi am deeply grateful for Fellow Daoist Hongyun's kindness. I will be the first Human Emperor. After you are reincarnated as a human, I will personally protect my younger brother, even if it means my death!"

Hong Yun laughed and said, "Then I will wait patiently for my brother to display his skills, and then I will reap the rewards!"

Even before they were reincarnated as humans, the two were already addressing each other as imperial brothers.

But no one laughed at them!

Because Donghua, the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and others are not worthy!

Jieyin and Zhunti are a good match; their relationship is truly the best in the Primordial Wilderness!

Donghua waved his hand, dispersing this space of Divine Sense, which returned to the main hall. By this time, the banquet was coming to an end.

"Today, all of you esteemed Daoists have graced my Heavenly Court with your presence. Donghua is deeply honored. It is also a great honor to have our senior brothers Three Pure Ones, and Jieyin and Zhunti, open the Heavenly Gate. Donghua, with all due respect, would like to invite our three senior brothers and two junior brothers to expound on the Hunyuan Great Dao. What do you think?"

The Three Pure Ones, Jieyin and Zhunti instantly regained their unfathomable demeanor, their Saint aura overwhelming the entire scene, and all traces of the previous conflict vanished.

The Taishang said, "My junior brother has invited me; how could I refuse!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Taiji Diagram, appeared in the sky, covering the entire hall. Three flowers appeared, Auspicious Cloud emerged, and the Three Thousand Great Daos and the Immortal, God, and Demon Paths began to evolve.

Donghua waved his hand and removed the tables, chairs, Cloud Bed from the main hall, with some futons falling into the hall.

The crowd quickly sat down and began to listen to the sermon!

"Of all things, none is greater than heaven and earth, yet even they have their limits."

"The vastness of Heaven encompasses both Yin-Yang; the vastness of Earth encompasses both Hardness and Softness. From the balance of Yin-Yang and Yang, the four seasons are formed; from the balance of Hardness and Softness, the four cardinal directions are formed."

Taishang began to expound his Great Dao from the concepts of Yin-Yang Taiji.

Subsequently, Yuanshi, Tongtian, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti successively expounded on the Great Dao, with Donghua concluding the discourse!

The banquet has come to a successful conclusion!

The banquet was a great success, but the Three Pure Ones' hearts were filled with extreme complexity, completely devoid of the joy of attaining Attain Sainthood.

This time, they suffered a crushing defeat!

The selection of the Three Sovereigns was entirely based on the ideas of Donghua and Nuwa; they were involved, yet it seemed they weren't.

"Brother, what should we do now?"

As soon as he left the Heaven Realm, Yuanshi asked impatiently. This time, his hatred for Zhunti had reached its peak, even surpassing his dislike for Donghua.

Taishang said, "Now that things have come to this, we can only take it one step at a time. Hong Yun was proposed by us, so this fortune and merit belong to us. Donghua dares not make any further demands on this matter!"

"As for Fuxi, Nuwa and Donghua will definitely step in personally to help him Attain Hunyuan Dao, making it very difficult for us to have a chance!"

"Now all that's left is the last Heavenly Sovereign. When that time comes, we'll have a good fight with our two Western Region Daoists and show them that this great event in the Primordial Wilderness is not something they can participate in!"

Upon hearing Taishang's analysis, Yuanshi and Tongtian nodded, realizing that this was the only way things could be now.

Yuanshi said angrily, "Fine, I'll make sure Zhunti when the time comes!"

Tongtian didn't say anything, but kept thinking about the methods Donghua had just displayed. He had tested Donghua's strength before, but his Divine Sense had sunk to the bottom of the sea and he hadn't found anything.

"This battle will have to be postponed!"

In the Great Luo Heaven, with the departure of the Three Pure Ones, all the Great Powers in the main hall also left. Now, only the people of the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Sovereign of the Human Race, Jieyin and Zhunti, and Nuwa remain.

"Junior Brother Donghua, congratulations! Everything you wished for has come true!" Nuwa said with a smile.

In this humanitarian struggle, she and Donghua have every advantage; now all that remains is the final practical action.

Donghua said nothing, but looked at Jieyin and Zhunti and said, "Thank you both for your help this time. The fortune and merit of the Heavenly Sovereign becoming the Human Emperor can all belong to you!"

Zhunti smiled and said, "We should be thanking Fellow Daoist Donghua. If it weren't for your invitation, we in the Western Region would have missed out on this battle for humanity. Now, even though we will be competing with the Three Teachings, we have at least had a chance."

Sometimes, all that's missing is this kind of opportunity!

They are not afraid of competing with the Three Teachings; what they fear is not having the opportunity. If they fail in the competition, it simply means they are not skilled enough, and there's nothing more to say.

Donghua looked at the Heavenly Sovereign and said, "As you can see, in this struggle for humanity, both the Six Sages and I have chosen your human race. This is both a good thing and a bad thing for you."

"The advantage is that humanity can stand out from all other races and become the Protagonist of Heaven and Earth. The disadvantage is that a large part of the Human Dao Destiny and Fortune that originally belonged exclusively to your race will be divided up."

"The human race will have Three Sovereigns Five Emperors. The Three Sovereigns will rise to power, and the Five Emperors will rule the world. Fellow Daoist Fuxi and Fellow Daoist Hongyun will be reincarnated as the first and second Human Emperor. You are the third Human Emperor."

What's your opinion on this?

At this moment, the Heavenly Sovereign felt both happy and disappointed. He was happy that the human race could rise up without him having to do anything, but he was disappointed that the human race had no power to resist the Heavenly Emperor and the Six Sages.

They can support the human race today, but if the human race becomes disobedient in the future, they will support other races as well. Helpless and powerless!

However, as the current emperor of the human race, he had no way to change the situation and could only watch helplessly as everyone divided up the Human Dao Destiny and Fortune and merits.

The Heavenly Sovereign then said, "Teacher, Saint Mother, the human race was born because of you. No matter what, please don't let the human race become a laughing stock."

"When Senior Fuxi is reincarnated and returns, I will relinquish my position as Emperor of the Human Race and help him attain enlightenment."

Donghua nodded. The Heavenly Sovereign was very sensible and knew when to advance and retreat. This was the best outcome Donghua could achieve.

Otherwise, following the original trajectory, the human race would not have produced a single Hun Yuan.

It's already quite difficult to produce a Hun Yuan) these days, and that's the bottom line for the other Saint; otherwise, Donghua alone would have to deal with all six Sages.
