Hongjun Daozu, the Emperor of Heaven.

Chapter 91 Hongjun Daozu, the Emperor of Heaven.

Endless chaos, within the Purple Cloud Palace.

At this moment, the Zixiao Palace was completely silent. None of the powerful cultivators spoke, as if they all understood that with their strength, it would be useless to speak if they wanted to compete for something.

After all, there are only a few people who can actually make the decisions; they're just there to make up the numbers, and even if they speak, it won't make any difference.

Rather than doing that, it's better to just quietly be a supporting character.

After all, if you know it's pointless to say it, wouldn't that make you seem a bit...unpleasant?

Moreover, this is a selection of the Heavenly Emperor. If he is successfully elected and becomes the new Heavenly Emperor, how can he become the Heavenly Emperor without a powerful background or overwhelming strength?

The Heavenly Emperor is the nominal ruler of the primordial world, but in reality, he is not; his status depends on his own strength.

After all, with three top-tier beings like Hongjun Daozu, Chen Qing, and Pingxin Niangniang, and the six sages of the Heavenly Dao, these are not people that can be touched.

Furthermore, to become the Heavenly Emperor, one must be strong enough. Only by being strong enough to suppress all those who disagree can one truly become the Heavenly Emperor.

The previous Heavenly Emperor was Di Jun of the demon race. He was a great supernatural being with extremely strong personal power. In addition, the demon race he created allowed him to firmly hold the position of Heavenly Emperor.

After all, Di Jun also has a brother, Donghuang Taiyi, who can fight against several powerful beings on his own.

Moreover, there are several powerful beings among the demon race, and Di Jun is the Heavenly Emperor, yet no one among the myriad races of the prehistoric world dares to oppose him.

However, if they were to become Heavenly Emperors, they would likely be killed by ambitious individuals, just like the Eastern King Duke in the past.

After all, the Eastern King Duke was once the head of the male immortals bestowed by the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, but so what? He was still killed by Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi.

To put it bluntly, Dongwanggong had neither great strength nor a powerful background. In the end, he was suppressed and killed by Donghuang Taiyi, and no one dared to speak up for him. Even Hongjun Daozu did not show up.

At this point, if Hongjun Daozu said he wanted to re-establish the Heavenly Emperor, they would rather remain silent than make a recommendation.

After all, having just experienced the incident with the Overlord of Heaven and Earth, everyone had learned their lesson and knew that their recommendations were useless. They might as well listen to what the big shots had to say.

Since all the powerful beings remained silent, only a sage could speak.

After all, since Dao Ancestor Hongjun has asked, they, as his disciples, have a duty to answer.

Then, the Sage Taiqing looked at the Dao Ancestor Hongjun and slowly spoke.

"Dao Ancestor, I only have one disciple, and there is no suitable candidate for Heavenly Emperor. I will not comment on this matter."

After the Sage Taiqing finished speaking, he fell silent and closed his eyes to rest.

Seeing that his elder brother had already spoken, Yuanshi Tianzun could not wait any longer and also spoke up.

"Dao Ancestor, my eldest disciple, Guang Chengzi, is capable of ruling Heaven and Earth. I recommend Guang Chengzi for the position of Heavenly Emperor."

After Yuanshi Tianzun finished speaking, he glanced at Hongjun Daozu, who was wandering in the heavens and earth in spirit. Seeing that his expression had not changed, he stopped speaking.

Upon seeing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader also spoke directly.

"Master, many of my disciples are capable of becoming Heavenly Emperors."

The Tongtian Sect Leader directly recommended Duobao as the Heavenly Emperor, and then fell silent.

The Sage Nuwa glanced at the three of them and then spoke directly.

"Teacher, I think Lu Ya, the son of Di Jun, is suitable to be the Heavenly Emperor. His father is Di Jun, who was the Heavenly Emperor. It would be just right for Lu Ya to become the new Heavenly Emperor."

After Nuwa finished speaking, she remained silent, as did the Guide Saint.

Upon seeing this, the Sage Zhunti immediately suggested two candidates.

"Dao Ancestor, I believe that our disciples, Yaoshi and Maitreya, are capable of becoming Heavenly Emperors."

Sage Zhunti glanced at Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and then fell silent.

At this moment, among the six sages of the Heavenly Dao, apart from the Sage of Reception who remained silent and the Sage of Taiqing who gave up, the other four sages all proposed candidates.

Seeing this, the group of powerful beings knew perfectly well that they had already anticipated this scene and knew that the saints would not give up and would definitely propose a candidate.

After all, that is the Heavenly Emperor. If he becomes the ruler of the primordial world, he can dominate all the races and creatures of the primordial world. Moreover, he will have the position of Heavenly Emperor and great fortune. At that time, his cultivation and enlightenment will be much faster.

However, everyone understood that they were not strong enough, and if they participated now, they would surely incur resentment.

All of these powerful beings had lived for countless years. They had lost a bit of their rationality before because of their desire for the position of overlord of heaven and earth, but Chen Qing had given them a good talking-to.

At this moment, faced with the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, his rationality returned, and he was not tempted by the throne.

After all, the position of the Heavenly Emperor is good, and great fortune is good, but one must also be alive to enjoy it.

All the powerful beings kept their eyes down, their noses closed, and remained silent, not participating in the matter.

For them, whoever becomes the Heavenly Emperor will not have a significant impact on them, after all, their strength is undeniable.

Unless it's Hongjun Daozu, Chen Qing, Pingxin Shengren, or the Six Saints who become Heavenly Emperors, they will have no choice but to exert their strength under pressure. Otherwise, they can ignore everyone else.

After all, their strength is not weak. In the primordial world, there are really not many people besides those few who can steadily suppress everyone.

At this moment, someone had already proposed a candidate. Hongjun Daozu opened his eyes and glanced at everyone.

Do you have any other suggestions? If so, please let us know.

After Hongjun Daozu finished speaking, he looked at everyone.

Upon hearing this, the crowd was puzzled as to what Hongjun Daozu meant, but they had no idea who to recommend.

"We have no one to choose from among us, Dao Ancestor."

Everyone was quite direct in saying that they had no one to choose from.

Upon hearing this, Hongjun Daozu looked at Chen Qing beside him and slowly spoke.

"Fellow Daoist Chen Qing, do you have any suggestions for candidates?"

After Hongjun Daozu finished speaking, he glanced at Haotian Tongzi and Yaochi Tongnu.

Chen Qing opened his eyes and saw this scene, and immediately understood what was going on.

He glanced at Hongjun Daozu, then at the Six Sages and a group of powerful beings, and after a few moments of silence, he slowly spoke.

"Fellow Daoist Hongjun, I believe your attendant and attendant are well-suited to serve as the Heavenly Emperor and Empress. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Hongjun Daozu looked at Pingxin Niangniang standing to the side.

"What does Fellow Daoist Pingxin think?"

Upon hearing this, Empress Pingxin glanced at Chen Qing and then slowly spoke.

"I agree with Fellow Daoist Chen Qing's opinion. Let Fellow Daoist Hongjun's attendant and attendant serve as the new Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress."

Empress Pingxin didn't care. The Heavenly Emperor and Empress wouldn't do anything to the Witch Clan. Besides, with her in the Underworld, nothing else would happen. Rather than that, she might as well give Hongjun some face.

Hongjun Daozu nodded in agreement upon hearing Pingxin Niangniang's words.

"Very well, since Fellow Daoist Chen Qing and Fellow Daoist Pingxin have both said so, then let Haotian be the new Heavenly Emperor and Yaochi the new Heavenly Empress."

Hongjun Daozu's final decision seemed fair, but it was actually unfair in the end.

Chen Qing said this because Hongjun Daozu had just helped the human race become the overlord of heaven and earth, and he was just giving his support in return.

In this way, a new Heavenly Emperor and a new Overlord of the primordial world were directly formed.

"Haotian Tong'er, Yaochi Tong'er, you will be the new Heavenly Emperor and Empress from now on. You will soon proceed directly to the Heavenly Court."

At this moment, Haotian Tongzi and Yaochi Tongnu were stunned. They did not expect that the Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress would eventually fall on their heads.

The two looked at Hongjun Daozu and bowed in respect.

"Yes, sir."

Everyone looked at Haotian, but said nothing.

After all, Haotian's strength may not be very high, but his background is very powerful.

Don't forget, his master is the Dao Ancestor Hongjun. If he is bullied in the future, he will complain to the Dao Ancestor Hongjun himself. What will everyone do then?

When Hongjun Daozu saw his attendants being bullied, he would definitely stand up for them. After all, these were his attendants who had followed him for countless years. To have them bullied was to disrespect him.

When that time comes, when the Dao Ancestor Hongjun steps forward, how many people in the primordial world will be able to withstand him?

Hongjun Daozu glanced at everyone, then spoke again.

"Now that this matter is settled, you may all leave."

After Hongjun Daozu finished speaking, everyone stood up, bowed to Hongjun Daozu, Chen Qing, and Lady Pingxin, and then left.

After leaving Zixiao Palace, many of the powerful cultivators, though looking somewhat dejected, did not linger but headed directly to their respective dojos.

At this moment, the Six Sages of Heavenly Dao also left Zixiao Palace. They exchanged glances, but no one spoke, and they returned directly to their respective dojos.

Inside the Zixiao Palace, only Hongjun Daozu, Chen Qing, and Pingxin Niangniang, along with Haotian Tongzi and Yaochi Tongnu, remained. They were still doing what the boy was doing.

Hongjun Daozu glanced at the two of them, then slowly spoke.

"You should all go too, go to the Heavenly Court."

"This is a precious treasure bestowed upon you by the master; please keep it safe."

After Hongjun Daozu finished speaking, several spiritual treasures appeared with a wave of his hand.

After receiving the spiritual treasure, Haotian Tongzi and Yaochi Tongnu bowed to Hongjun Daozu and then left Zixiao Palace.

Inside the Purple Cloud Palace, the three exchanged a glance, but none of them spoke.
