Chen Du, Alliance of All Saints!

Primordial Wilderness Shouyang Mountain, located in the eastern part of the Primordial Wilderness and close to the central Mount Buzhou Land, was once the territory under the jurisdiction of the Kirin Clan at the beginning of the creation of the world. After the Three Clans War, it became the Donghua temple of Donghua. Now, apart from the Shouyang Mountain, it has become the Human Ancestral Land.

The human race, relying on Shouyang Mountain, established a vast power. This place is no longer just the land of Shouyang Mountain, but has formed a world in itself.

Humanity's conquest of the East began at Shouyang Mountain, and now the eastern lands are almost entirely under human control; to be precise, no other race can rival humanity.

Although there are myriad races in the Primordial Wilderness, there are still few races with Quasi-Saint. While the human race does not have Quasi-Saint, it has many Grand Unity Immortals.

Of the three thousand Innate Human Race created by Nuwa, almost all of those who survived and remained among the human race were Grand Unity Grand Unity. If you count carefully, there are nearly twenty Grand Unity Taiyi. This is the source of the human race's confidence in defeating the Quanfeng Clan, and the source of their confidence in taking the initiative.

It's important to remember that when Donghua was reborn, the entire population of the Purple Mansion Grand Unity was less than that of the human race today, which shows that the human race is indeed very strong now.

Now, the human race has unified the East, and the entire eastern land is filled with human tribes of all sizes.

Inside the main hall of the Human Ancestral Land, almost all of the human race's high-ranking officials were gathered. Fuxi sat on the Emperor's Seat, looking down upon everyone.

"Gentlemen, now that the Eastern Territory is unified and our human race's influence extends throughout the East, there is a very serious problem that we must consider."

Fuxi looked around and saw that everyone was waiting for him to say something. Then, he stopped observing and said directly:

"Shouyang Mountain is the Great Heavenly Venerate temple of the Heavenly Emperor, but it is also the ancestral land of our human race. However, it can only be our ancestral land, not the political center of our human race, that is, the place where our capital is located."

Upon hearing Fuxi's words, everyone began to discuss them, but almost everyone agreed with Fuxi's words, because Shouyang Mountain, no matter how good, was still someone else's place of practice.

Although Donghua didn't mind, they still felt uncomfortable staying there. So this was indeed a problem that the human race was currently facing: finding a suitable place to establish a political center for the human race.

The Earth Sovereign rose and said, "Your Majesty's words are completely agreed upon by me. Our Earth Sovereign tribe is located in the far east, occupying Tianya City. Your Majesty may establish your capital in Tianya City."

Before Fuxi could say anything, Feng Ling stood up and said, "That's not suitable. Tianya City is nice, but its geographical location is too remote. Our human tribes are scattered all over the east, so it's not appropriate to make it a capital."

"In my opinion, it would be better to rebuild a city, occupy the central east, refine the myriad worlds within it, and set up the Eight Directions Grand Array outside it, making it the imperial capital of our human race."

Feng Ling, also known You Wa Shi, is the reincarnation of Nuwa. She was first born into the Zhi Shengshi, later learned her skills in the Human Sovereign, and is now the leader of the Human Sovereign.

Following Feng Ling's words, everyone started discussing it again and found them to make a lot of sense.

"Your Majesty, I support Feng Ling's opinion. Our human race's capital should be established by our own people, thus laying the foundation for our human race."

"Your Majesty, I agree..."

"Your Majesty, I agree..."

"..."

In an instant, everyone's voices were united: to establish a new capital, a brand new capital, a capital that belonged exclusively to the human race.

Fuxi clapped his hands and said, "Very well, then this matter is settled. Let us establish a capital city that belongs exclusively to our human race, a brand new capital city!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fuxi brought out the River Diagram and Luo Book, two Top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure that were not only treasures of the Starry Sky, but also treasures of the earth.

As spiritual energy flowed into his abdomen, a scene of the Primordial Wilderness East appeared on the River Diagram and Luo Book. After observing for a long time, Fuxi formed a hand seal, and a Bagua (Eight Trigrams) emerged, manifesting the Great Dao Power and bringing the profound mysteries of the Heavenly Dao to mind.

Fuxi suddenly opened his eyes, pointed to a spot on the River Diagram and Luo Book, and asked, "What is this place called?"

The Earth Sovereign looked at the location on the map, thought for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, this place is called Wan Qiu. It was the site of the Kuafu Tribe Witch Clan. Later, because two great sages emerged from this place, named Taihao and Shaohao, it was also known as the Taihao's Ruins and the Shaohao's Ruins."

"Taihao? Shaohao?" Fuxi felt that these two names were familiar, but he couldn't remember why.

It's quite obvious from Fuxi's condition that he's about to attain enlightenment, meaning he's about to break through to the Daluo Golden Immortal and awaken his Previous Life memories.

"This place is excellent. Our human race's capital will be established here, and named: Chen Du!"

"The establishment of the capital shall be overseen by the Earth Sovereign, with the assistance of the Suiren Clan, You Chao Shi, and Zhi Shengshi. Everything must proceed without fail."

"Your Majesty, we obey!"

With the establishment of the capital settled, Fuxi looked at everyone again, finally fixing his gaze on Feng Ling. After exchanging a brief glance, Feng Ling lowered her head.

Fuxi smiled upon seeing this, stepped down from his Emperor's Seat, came to Feng Ling's side, took Feng Ling hand, and led her back to the Emperor's Seat. He then addressed the crowd:

"Everyone, Feng Ling and I are deeply in love. Today, with all of you as our witnesses, we are to become Dao Companion. The day Chen Du is completed will be the day Feng Ling and I get married."

Hearing this, everyone was delighted. After all, the union of Fuxi Feng Ling represented the union of the two strongest tribes of the human race. Coupled with the loyalty of the Earth Sovereign to Fuxi, the problem that had troubled the Heavenly Sovereign for countless years was instantly resolved.

"Your Majesty, we offer our congratulations, and we offer our congratulations to Feng Ling!"

Fuxi, holding Feng Ling's hand, laughed heartily. Finally, he looked at everyone and said, "Feng Ling and I are cultivators, and it would be fine for us to become Dao Companion. However, I have observed that marriage customs among humans are chaotic, with incestuous marriages and disordered etiquette."

"Therefore, marriage came into being. From then on, the human race established a complete marriage and wedding system, starting with my wedding to Feng Ling."

"From this day forward, marriage between close relatives is forbidden, and marriage between those within five degrees of kinship is also forbidden..."

"The marriage system is based on the Three Letters and Six Rites. The Three Letters are: the Betrothal Letter, the Gift Letter, and the Welcome Letter. The Six Rites are: 1. Betrothal, 2. Inquiring Name, 3. Presenting Accepting Auspiciousness, 4. Presenting Gifts, 5. Requesting Date, and 6. The Bride Fetching's Relatives, which is the marriage ceremony!"

"On behalf of the man, Na Cai sent gifts to the woman's family to express his intention to propose marriage."

"..."

With Fuxi's speech, the marriage system of the human race was officially established, which is the Human Marriage system of the Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos. It only awaits that Fuxi and Nuwa become Dao Companion and complete this series of procedures.

Meanwhile, Donghua and Nuwa were enjoying tea and discussing philosophy in the White Lotus Cave on Shouyang Mountain.

"Congratulations, Senior Sister! It seems your cultivation in the form of a benevolent corpse is about to make great progress!"

Nuwa was the earliest goddess to be in charge of the creation of heaven and earth and marriage, that is, the operator of Heavenly Marriage, and her good corpse was the one who was killed by Di Jun and Xi He after they completed the Heavenly Marriage.

Nuwa remained calm upon hearing Donghua's words, simply sipping a cup of spiritual tea before saying, "In the past, I might have been pleased, but now it's insignificant."

Donghua thought about it and agreed. For Nuwa, a wealthy woman, the merit of Human Marriage was indeed only so-so.

"Junior brother, is what you just said about Luohu's imminent return true or false?" Nuwa asked Donghua. She couldn't help but care about this matter; even for them now, the name Luohu was a huge burden weighing on their hearts.

Don't be fooled by their current status as Hunyuan Saint with their rapidly advancing cultivation. Luohu is no pushover either. In order to break through his cultivation barrier, he willingly transformed into the Heaven of the Demonic Realm, merging into the Primordial Wilderness Heavenly Dao to comprehend the Great Dao.

Even Nuwa wouldn't dare to do such a thing; she has always been a bold person. However, Luohu's actions were too extreme and frightening.

When Luohu transformed into the heavens, their cultivation levels were still low, so it was impossible to discern what it represented. However, from the perspective of Saint, Luohu at that time had definitely already paved the way, at least reaching the Hunyuan Fourth Heaven Chaos Realm.

Now that Huatian has returned, he will surely make further progress, making him their strongest opponent.

"Pretty close!"

Nuwa nodded solemnly, then said, "We still need to discuss this matter further. Luohu is no simple man. Since we're going to fight, we should eliminate this threat once and for all, otherwise things could get complicated."

Donghua said, "That's what I think too. This is Luohu's last chance, but it's also our last chance. If we let this guy escape again, it won't be easy to kill him again."

"This time, we must either completely eliminate Luohu or subdue Luohu. We absolutely cannot allow this guy to continue wreaking havoc in the Primordial Wilderness."

Nuwa asked in surprise, "Subdue them?"

"Junior brother, you really dare to dream big, actually wanting to subdue the Demon Ancestor!"

Donghua laughed and said, "There's no way around it. After Heavenly Emperor Great Heavenly Venerate for so long, everyone wants to try and subdue him."

Upon hearing this, Nuwa's eyes flickered slightly, her spiritual gaze fixed intently on Donghua, though it was unclear what she was thinking.

After a long silence, Nuwa finally spoke and asked, "Junior brother, do you also want to subdue us Hunyuan Saint and make us serve the Heavenly Court, so that the Saint will submit to the Heavenly Emperor?"

Faced with Nuwa's question, Donghua did not evade it. Instead, he leisurely sipped a cup of spiritual tea and then said unhurriedly:

"This is not impossible!"

"Junior brother, you really have a lot of guts and ambition. Aren't you afraid of making a mess of things?"

"There's nothing I can do. The longer I've been the Heavenly Emperor, the bolder and more ambitious I've become. But I have a good appetite, and I think I can handle it."

After some probing, the two stared intently at each other, but said nothing more.

Now that things have come to this point, Donghua no longer wants to hide his ambition, because he has the confidence and ability to do so.

He is no longer the East King Gong who needed to be careful at every turn, but the Heavenly Emperor Great Heavenly Venerate, the number one person in the primordial world, and a being at the Hunyuan Fourth Heaven Primordial Wilderness Realm!

With his current strength, even the Three Pure Ones and the Western Two Saints combined would not be a match for him.

However, there is a prerequisite: the seven beings— Three Pure Ones, Jieyin and Zhunti, Zhunti, Nuwa, and Houtu— cannot all be combined; otherwise, he will undoubtedly lose.

The combination of the Three Pure Ones and the other six saints represents the Houtu of Heaven. Adding Houtu, another Saint, represents the will of Heaven and Earth. In other words, the combination of these seven is no longer a contest of strength, but a challenge for Donghua to confront the Primordial Wilderness Heavenly Dao.

That means defying the heavens!

Even if Donghua were at the Five Heavens Fourth Heaven Realm, he wouldn't be able to defeat the current Primordial Wilderness Heavenly Dao.

Therefore, he is destined to lose!

This is why he has maintained his relationship with Houtu Nuwa, and why he has been trying to win over Tongtian and the Western Two Saints.

Because sometimes in the Primordial Wilderness, strength is no longer the only factor; it's about who can seize the will of Heaven and the general trend of the Primordial Wilderness.

To put it simply, it's about who can acquire more Heavenly Dao Power!

Donghua wins, the Heavenly Emperor's position is won!

Donghua is defeated, but the Saint's position is won!

East Sea!

Donghua's Attachment Corpse arrived at Golden Ao Island with the San Xiao, while Tongtian was giving a sermon to several of his personal disciples in the Biyou Palace.

Suddenly Tongtian stopped, looked down and said, "Duobao, go outside the palace to greet your Uncle-Master Donghua!"

"Your disciple obeys!"

Upon hearing Tongtian's words, a woman in a golden Daoist robe in the hall was delighted; she was none other than Tongtian's second disciple Jin Ling.

"It feels like it's been ages since I last saw him!"

Just as Duobao arrived outside the palace, Donghua and the San Xiao arrived.

"Greetings, Uncle-Master Donghua!"

"No need for formalities, let's go!"

As soon as Donghua entered the hall, all eyes were on him.

"How could it be an avatar?" Jin Ling's joy instantly turned to disappointment when she saw that the newcomer was merely an avatar of Donghua.

"Greetings, Saint Tongtian!" Donghua bowed respectfully. He was merely an incarnation, so it was fine in front of others, but he still had to pay his respects in front of Saint.

"Fellow Daoist Chongyang, please have a seat!"

After gesturing, Tongtian asked again, "May I ask what brings you here, my friend?"

Donghua glanced at the people in the hall: the Five Direct Disciples of Intercepting Sect, the Seven Attendant Immortals, and no one else. It seemed that Tongtian was letting his disciples slack off.

"Saint Tongtian, I hereby extend my special invitation to Saint to participate in the All Saints Alliance!"

Tongtian asked in confusion, "All Saints Alliance? That's interesting. What are you thinking?"

Donghua then told him everything about Luohu!

"So you want to the All Saints Alliance to discuss how to deal with Luohu?"

Donghua nodded and said, "This alliance is not only to discuss how to deal with Luohu, but also to completely resolve the Calamity of the Demonic Realm, the conflict between humanity and the world, and to prepare for the upcoming War of Worlds!"

Tongtian thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I agree to this. The question is, where will the alliance be held?"

Donghua thought for a moment and said, "What about Mount Buzhou? This alliance is not only Eight Saints Alliance, but also a competition among our disciples."

"The Heavenly Court, the Human Teachings, the Chan Teachings, the Interception Sect, the Buddhist Teachings, Wa Huang Palace are all participating in a competition of Second Generation Xuanmen Disciples. What do you think?"

"Excellent!" Tongtian agreed without the slightest hesitation.

In truth, he did want to hold such a competition, because he really wanted to test the skills of the disciples of the Heavenly Origin and Intercepting Sects.

His strength was comparable to that of Yuanshi, and unless they fought to the death, it would be impossible to determine a winner. However, he longed to defeat Yuanshi once.

Therefore, it seems that the only way to determine the winner now is in the matter of teaching disciples.

"In this world, Junior Brother Donghua understands me the most!"

Thinking of this, Tongtian looked at his disciples below and said, "You all need to cultivate diligently during this time, and you must bring honor to your master during the competition!"

"Your disciple obeys!"
