Primordial Era: I am the First Green Ox, the Senior Brother of the Three Religions

Chapter 476 The New Heavenly Emperor! Haotian?

As soon as the words of guidance were spoken, all the saints present were taken aback.

"No way?"

"Another enemy from beyond the realm has invaded our primordial world?"

"If that's the case, wouldn't another major war be about to break out?"

"..."

The sages of the heavens exclaimed in surprise, all of them becoming interested.

After all, if another enemy from beyond the realm were to invade the prehistoric world, they might be able to obtain the Saint's Crystal from it.

The earlier battle with the Devouring Universe Realm.

After the war, the demon race and the witch race each received a Saint Crystal as a reward for their merits.

It was precisely because of this that the Demon Emperor Di Jun and the Ancestral Witch Di Jiang were able to advance to the Saint level by refining the Saint's Crystal.

As for Niu Ben, he personally received the Saint's Crystal as a reward by killing two Hunyuan Daluo.

After returning to the primordial world, Niu Ben gave the Saint's Crystal he had obtained to his father, Niu Ba, enabling him to become a saint.

"If a foreign enemy were to invade..."

"For my demon race, that's an opportunity that comes along only once in a lifetime!"

Di Jun was secretly amazed.

In his view, the demon race has now been banished to the demon realm.

If a great war breaks out with enemies from other realms at this time, the demon race may be able to take this opportunity to return to the primordial world.

Moreover, if one accumulates enough battle merits, it is not impossible to obtain the Saint's Crystal.

In this way, the demon race can gain another saint-level combat power.

As long as he accumulates enough strength, Di Jun is confident that he can fight even Niu Ben, the number one saint.

After a moment's thought, Di Jun hoped that things would turn out as the Guide Daoist had said.

Upon hearing the greeting from the Reception Office, the Supreme Lord smiled calmly and said:

"Guide my junior brother."

"We'll see the truth when the teacher arrives; why should we speculate?"

Upon hearing this, Jieyin smiled slightly and nodded gently, saying:

"What my senior brother says is absolutely right!"

Niu Ben stood to the side, not saying a word.

He had a hunch that the reason Dao Ancestor Hongjun had summoned all the sages of the heavens to Zixiao Palace for a meeting was most likely because of the matter of the new Heavenly Emperor.

Just then, a burst of purple light suddenly gathered inside the Zixiao Palace.

The saints looked closely and saw the figure of Dao Ancestor Hongjun appear.

Upon seeing Hongjun appear, all the sages became solemn and immediately bowed and paid their respects to him.

"Greetings, Dao Ancestor!"

"Greetings, teacher!"

Hongjun nodded slightly, gesturing for everyone to take their seats.

Then, his gaze swept over all the saints present, and he slowly spoke:

"I have summoned you all today for an important matter."

Upon hearing what Hongjun said, all the saints held their breath and looked at him with curiosity.

Hongjun remained calm and, without keeping them in suspense, said directly:

"Now the witches and demons each reside in their own realm, and the Primordial Heavenly Court has been vacant for a long time."

"The Heavenly Court is the legitimate successor of the primordial world, in charge of the order of heaven and earth, and the operation of yin and yang creation. It cannot be without a master for even a day."

"I've summoned you all here to ask if you have any suitable candidates to recommend?"

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the hall subtly changed.

Upon hearing this, Di Jun's expression instantly darkened.

The Heavenly Court was originally the territory of his demon race!

Now that Hongjun wants to establish a new Heavenly Emperor, it is tantamount to completely depriving the demon race of the possibility of returning to the primordial world and taking control.

Although he was filled with resentment, Di Jun dared not lash out and could only suppress his anger.

Dijiang didn't care. The Wu tribe was not good at management and had no desire for the position of Heavenly Emperor.

He merely glanced coldly at Di Jun, a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, the Three Pure Ones exchanged a glance.

Then, the Supreme Sage spoke first:

"Master, my disciple Xuandu is calm and composed, with a steadfast heart for the Dao, and is capable of being put to use."

Before Dao Ancestor Hongjun could speak, Yuanshi Tianzun also said:

"My disciple Guang Chengzi possesses both virtue and ability, and his cultivation is profound. He is also a suitable candidate for the Heavenly Emperor."

Upon hearing this, Tongtian also gave his own recommended candidate:

"Master, Daoist Duobao is my most outstanding disciple. He is quick-witted, intelligent, and good at planning. If he were the Heavenly Emperor, he would surely be able to manage the affairs of the Heavenly Court smoothly."

After saying this, the three sages exchanged a smile.

Although the Three Pure Ones had a good relationship, the selection of the new Heavenly Emperor was of great importance, and they naturally wanted to place this position on one of their disciples.

When Hongjun heard the candidates recommended by the Three Pure Ones, he simply smiled faintly and did not rush to give an answer.

At this moment, the two Western Saints exchanged a glance, and then Zhunti spoke:

"Teacher, my disciple Maitreya is broad-minded and compassionate. If he could take charge of the Heavenly Court, he would surely harmonize Yin and Yang and bring blessings to the world."

As Zhunti spoke, Jieyin softly chanted a Buddhist mantra in response.

Hongjun remained calm, then turned his gaze to the sage Nuwa.

Upon receiving Hongjun's gaze, the Sage Nuwa pondered for a moment before speaking:

"I have no suitable candidate among my disciples, but in my opinion, the position of Heavenly Emperor requires someone who is virtuous and talented, and who has no karmic entanglements with the myriad races of the primordial world."

At the same time, Dijiang also said:

"Our witch clan has retreated to the witch realm, and naturally will not contend for the position of Heavenly Emperor."

"Everything is up to the Dao Ancestor to decide."

Niu Ba opened his mouth, intending to say something.

But after thinking about it again, he swallowed the words that were about to come out.

In Niu Ba's view, the position of the Heavenly Emperor was extremely lofty.

No one in the cattle tribe is qualified for this position.

He originally intended to recommend his son, Niu Ben, but then he thought that Niu Ben had already attained sainthood and was the lord of the underworld.

It would seem somewhat inappropriate for him to recommend him as the new Heavenly Emperor, so he kept quiet.

Niu Ben listened quietly without saying a word.

At this moment, Hongjun's gaze suddenly fell on him, and he asked calmly:

"Niu Ben, do you have any recommendations?"

"I?"

Niu Ben was taken aback, and before he could reply, a system notification sounded in his mind:

【Ding! 】

[The critical event "Chosen One for Heaven" has been detected, triggering a divine selection mission!]

[Option 1: We recommend Haotian as the Heavenly Emperor. He is the Golden Boy by Hongjun's side, having served the Dao Ancestor since childhood and deeply understanding the principles of the Heavenly Dao.]

[Quest Reward: 1 Cultivation Pill (significantly boosts cultivation, aiding the host in advancing towards the Heavenly Dao Realm).]

[Option Two: Recommend other characters as the Heavenly Emperor, such as Xuandu, Guangchengzi, Duobao, etc.]

[Quest Reward: 1 Innate Spiritual Treasure (Random)]

"Oh?"

Upon hearing the system notification, Niu Ben was secretly surprised.

"Cultivation Pill?"

"A significant increase in cultivation level?"

Niu Ben muttered to himself, his thoughts racing.

He knew this very well, though others might not.

Haotian, the attendant beside Dao Ancestor Hongjun, was destined to be the future Heavenly Emperor.

In Niu Ben's view, since Dao Ancestor Hongjun decided to reopen the Heavenly Court and establish a new Heavenly Emperor, it is highly likely that he already had a suitable candidate in mind.

Perhaps that person was Haotian, the pageboy beside him.

Besides, Niu Ben naturally preferred the cultivation pill to the innate spiritual treasure.

After all, for him now, a mere innate spiritual treasure is of little use.
