Since Lin Tian already possessed the seal, Hongjun summoned him and Houtu to discuss the matter, while Lin Tian continued refining the treasure in Pan Gu Hall.

• Hongjun explained that the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors would anchor humanity’s Fortune, and Laozi argued that he should oversee their appointments.

• Hongjun summoned Lin Tian and Houtu to the Purple Heaven Palace, then departed while the Saints waited for them.

• Lin Tian watched the Great Dao Seed containing Hongjun and chose not to merge it with his other Great Dao Seeds yet.
