True and False Haotian

"What??? You want me to be a boy servant??"

The young man was greatly alarmed. Why would Hongjun want him as a servant?

If it were an ordinary person who had just taken human form, seeing a Saint and then being taken on as a servant by that Saint, they would probably jump up with joy.

However, this young man knew the plot.

He knew that Hongjun would only take a pair of boy and girl servants: the boy Haotian and the girl Yaochi.

Could it be that he was actually Haotian??

That would make sense!

No wonder his cultivation speed was so slow no matter how hard he tried.

His fate was likely already in Hongjun's hands.

He heard that Haotian's original form was a piece of Chaos Spirit Stone from before the world was formed, but because his fate was to be Hongjun's servant, the Chaos Spirit Stone became a Chaotic Stubborn Stone.

Under the influence of his fate, Haotian's cultivation speed was extremely slow, his innate potential plummeted, and his personality became dull and difficult to teach.

That's why the later Haotian would do so many foolish things and become the most incompetent Heavenly Emperor.

He was even killed by Xing Tian in the end and reincarnated to undergo trials as the Jade Emperor.

Logically speaking, such a person should not have become the Heavenly Emperor.

But he was born as the first Chaos Spirit Stone to fall into the Great Desolation, imbued with innate energy, becoming the one and only Chaos Spirit Stone.

His fate should have been to become the Heavenly Emperor from the start, and Hongjun most likely supported him to become a puppet Heavenly Emperor by going with the flow.

Hiss!

That made sense. The grand trend of the Great Desolation could not be changed, but minor trends could be. Haotian eventually became the Heavenly Emperor, albeit a bit incompetent. The grand trend of the Great Desolation remained unchanged!

No wonder Hongjun came looking for him as soon as he took human form!

His original form had likely already been tampered with by Hongjun, and he would know immediately once he took human form!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of vigilance towards Hongjun.

Hongjun was worthy of being the future spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao, surpassing the Six Saints of the Heavenly Dao. Truly terrifying!

Just then, the system's voice sounded in Haotian's mind.

[Ding, detected Hongjun's intention to take the host as a sweeping servant. Please make your choice.]

[Option 1: Agree to Hongjun, obtain the God-Beating Whip and the Investiture of the Gods.]

[Option 2: Refuse Hongjun, obtain the Heavenly Emperor Seal and tenfold enlightenment talent.]

[Option 3: Refuse Hongjun and curse Hongjun as a treacherous villain, obtain soul scattering and spirit annihilation.]

"What is the Heavenly Emperor Seal?"

Haotian asked.

[A seal representing the authority of the Heavenly Emperor, a top-grade Innate Spirit Treasure.]

"What?"

Haotian couldn't help but be startled upon hearing this:

"A top-grade Innate Spirit Treasure?"

[That's right, it's the companion spirit treasure of Emperor Haotian, capable of controlling heaven and earth and presiding over the great power of the Great Desolation below the thirty-three heavens.]

The system replied.

"What???"

"So there is such a top-grade Innate Spirit Treasure, and it should be my companion spirit treasure?"

"But why have I never heard of it before?"

"Why would the system offer my companion spirit treasure as a reward? Has my companion spirit treasure already been taken by someone else?"

"Is this Hongjun's scheme? In the original story, I didn't have this spirit treasure, only the Haotian Tower!"

"Hiss! Hongjun is truly terrifying, but this makes sense. Donghuang Taiyi was born with the Chaos Bell, and Laozi also has the Post-celestial Merit Supreme Treasure, the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda. How could I, Haotian, not have a companion spirit treasure?"

Thinking of this, Haotian's gaze towards Hongjun became even more vigilant.

Of course, he would hide it well and not let Hongjun discover it.

At this moment, there were two paths before him. The first was to become Hongjun's servant for tens of millions or hundreds of millions of years and be a mediocre Heavenly Emperor.

The second was to forge his own path and seize the opportunities of the Great Desolation!

No matter how he thought about it, even a fool would know how to choose, right?

He had a system and knew the plot of the Great Desolation. At this time, why would he still go and be his servant? Wouldn't that be a disgrace to transmigrators?

Therefore, he chose to refuse without hesitation.

Of course, he wasn't stupid. He didn't have the strength to resist Hongjun at this time, so he wouldn't foolishly choose option 3.

Therefore, he said tactfully:

"Venerable Sage, thank you for your kind offer, but this humble one prefers to be free."

To put it bluntly, he didn't want to be subservient to anyone.

Even though he had just witnessed Hongjun instantly kill trillions of dragons, and neither the Dragon of Cold nor the Dragon of Light were a match for him, a transmigrator with a system and one without were two different beings!

If he, Haotian, didn't have a system, he might have already been groveling, but now that he had a system, how could he possibly live under someone else's thumb and be their lapdog?

Moreover, he firmly believed that with his system, he would one day become a Saint himself, so he refused!

"Hmm."

Hongjun nodded.

Sigh, another transmigrator. If he weren't a transmigrator, how could he refuse a Saint's request?

In typical Great Desolation novels, Hongjun would be mocked and looked down upon before he revealed his Saintly power.

But once Hongjun displayed his Saintly might, everyone would prostrate themselves before him.

Now, he was actively offering to take him as a disciple, and the boy was reluctant?

If this isn't a transmigrator, what is?

I should have activated my Great Dao perception earlier. Now, even a system can block the current Heavenly Dao's power.

Hongjun confirmed that this was a transmigrator with a system.

Because he had used Heavenly Dao authority when killing Ancestral Dragon, his Great Dao perception had been turned off.

Now that he was using Heavenly Dao authority, he couldn't see the boy's thoughts... if this isn't a system, what is?

Can the power of the Heavenly Dao be perceived by those in the Great Desolation?

"Since Fellow Daoist is unwilling, then so be it."

Facing the refusal of someone he had confirmed to be a transmigrator, Hongjun was not angry.

If others were unwilling, he would not force them.

Just as those systems said, the Great Dao is impartial and treats everyone equally, even transmigrators are treated equally.

Of course, this was under the premise that you didn't court death like Pangu, or defy the heavens like Ancestral Dragon.

As long as you didn't court death, Hongjun wouldn't interfere.

Hongjun's gaze shifted to another piece of uncarved jade. After a moment's thought, he sent forth a stream of chaotic energy.

"Haotian, why haven't you taken form yet? What are you waiting for?"

He waved his hand, and the uncarved jade, now infused with chaotic energy, was enveloped in a spiritual glow. Accompanied by bursts of profound light, the figure of a man gradually emerged.

The man was tall and imposing, with handsome features and an exceptionally striking appearance.

"Haotian greets the Venerable Sage. Thank you, Venerable Sage, for your enlightenment."

Haotian successfully took form with the chaotic energy, becoming no different from a congenital god-demon, possessing sentience.

He bowed to Hongjun, knowing that Hongjun had helped him take form.

Furthermore, just like other congenital god-demons, upon taking form, he was already a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, with an impeccable origin!

And beside him stood another person... who looked exactly like him. This was the transmigrator Haotian, also a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal!

"!!!!!"

The transmigrator Haotian was stunned.

"What the hell? I just integrated into the identity of Haotian, and now you're telling me I'm not Haotian???"
