Chapter 1745: The Epoch of Calamity: The Jie Sect Competes to Reincarnate (Third Update, Requesting Subscription)

Yunxiao asked softly, "Husband, now that Heaven's Dao and Earth's Dao have been allocated, how shall Human Dao be distributed?"

At this, the Three Sovereigns of Humanity immediately turned their gaze toward him.

This was also the issue they cared about most.

"The Human Emperor of humanity shall be chosen from those of virtue and talent, his rank equal to that of the Four Regents and the Five Holy Ones of Reincarnation, entitled to participate in matters great and small across the Three Realms."

"Thank you, Ancestor."

The Three Sovereigns were overjoyed.

This meant humanity was again the greatest race in the Three Realms.

Indeed, after Hongjun departed, all things moved in a better direction—humanity once more became the undisputed master of Heaven and Earth.

As they spoke, they arrived at the Heavenly Court.

Duobao and others came forward to greet them.

"We pay homage to the Holy Ones, and to Ancestor Taixuan."

"Report to the Dao Ancestor: Haotian and Yaochi have been intercepted by us; we await your judgment."

Zhang Taixuan nodded slightly and turned his gaze toward Haotian.

"Haotian, though you were Hongjun's attendant, you have served the Three Realms with merit—you deserve reward."

At this, all present could not help but glance over.

Of course, the Holy Ones looked as if they had expected this.

After all, Ancestor Taixuan had granted even the demonic races a chance—how could he impose harsh punishment on Haotian?

In terms of allegiance, Haotian was indeed part of the opposing faction.

But objectively speaking, during his rule over the Three Realms, Haotian worked diligently and maintained order.

His achievements surpassed even those of the idle Holy Ones.

As for diminishing humanity's destiny and stripping it of its Human Emperor—

What does that have to do with Haotian?

Haotian had neither the ability nor the intent to diminish humanity's destiny.

From beginning to end, suppressing Human Dao and Earth's Dao was solely Hongjun's doing.

"Thank you, Ancestor!"

Haotian, astonished, quickly bowed in reverence.

"This is the Scripture of Ten Thousand Calamities—it will allow you to endure calamities without perishing, returning unbroken through ten thousand aeons."

Zhang Taixuan waved his hand and bestowed the Scripture of Ten Thousand Calamities upon him, "As Heaven's Dao evolves, the next epoch shall be the Epoch of Calamity, and a Calamity Holy One shall emerge—whether you seize this opportunity rests with you."

"By the way, the Human Emperor of the mortal realm has yet to appear. If you reincarnate now and perform well, you may even vie for the throne of Human Emperor."

Haotian meditated on the Scripture of Ten Thousand Calamities, awed by its profundity.

Hearing Zhang Taixuan's words, his heart surged with uncontainable excitement.

Though he must reincarnate, what was there to fear?

If there was even a chance to become a Holy One, reincarnation was nothing!

Recall that had Hongjun not been defeated, his dream of becoming a Holy One would have been pure fantasy.

Now the opportunity lay before him, and his long-dormant heart burned fiercely.

He turned to Yaochi and saw she, too, was deeply stirred.

Yaochi bowed respectfully and asked, "May I ask, Ancestor, may I also reincarnate and cultivate the Path of Calamity?"

"Of course," Zhang Taixuan nodded. "You may even vie for a Holy Seat. In the next epoch, I shall not interfere—the Holy Ones shall rise by their own merit."

Saying this, he also bestowed the Scripture of Ten Thousand Calamities upon her.

Yaochi's breath quickened.

A Holy Seat!

She too had a chance!!

Haotian, seeing Yaochi's expression, was speechless.

He never expected that just a few words from the Ancestor could fracture his staunch ally.

Before a Holy Seat, even sworn comradeship, let alone blood ties, means nothing.

Even Duobao and the others were deeply stirred.

"Ancestor, may we also reincarnate and cultivate the Path of Calamity?"

Duobao and the others knew well—they had reached the end of their current path.

If they continued down this old road, they would remain stuck in place for eternity—with no chance of becoming a Holy One.
