Chapter 517

This was what triggered the Investiture of the Gods killing tribulation.

The Ren Sect would not participate in it, but it could support Dong Wanggong to ascend; even if it didn't succeed, it could to a certain extent divide the authority of the Heavenly Emperor.

It just so happened that Dong Wanggong had always coveted the position of Heavenly Emperor, and Lin Xia didn't mind lending him a helping hand.

At this time, everyone was looking at Lin Xia with uncertainty.

After a long while, Nuwa finally said:

"Good, since that is the case, I will let Fellow Daoist Dong Wanggong sit on the position of Heavenly Emperor."

Although she didn't know what Lin Xia was plotting, Nuwa chose to believe him without reason.

This was the confidence Lin Xia had given Nuwa, as he had never failed.

"Let it be as Lin Xia says."

Daoist Houtu also nodded and said softly.

Lin Xia had immense kindness toward both her and the Witch Clan.

If it weren't for Lin Xia, she would still be suppressed in the Underworld.

Therefore, although she was the Lord of the Earth Dao, Daoist Houtu could almost be said to be obedient to Lin Xia.

"Since Little Friend Lin Xia has said so, my Jie Sect has no objections either."

The Immortal Tongtian Sect Master also nodded slowly.

And seeing that three Saints had already nodded in agreement, the other great powers naturally had no objections either.

They nodded one after another, agreeing to act according to Lin Xia's wishes.

And just as the many great powers were looking at him, Lin Xia looked at Dong Wanggong and spoke again.

"Fellow Daoist Dong Wanggong, are you willing to compete with Seeing Haotian for the position of Heavenly Emperor?"

At this moment, Dong Wanggong was already shocked beyond measure.

He reacted instantly and answered without hesitation:

"I am willing to compete for the position of Heavenly Emperor and take charge of the order of the universe!"

Even his voice was trembling slightly.

One must know that as the head of the male immortals, Dong Wanggong had always been ambitious.

He coveted the position of Heavenly Emperor incomparably.

He dreamed of one day being able to govern the order of the universe like Di Jun and become the Lord of the Heavenly Court.

But he lacked the strength.

And today, he finally had such an opportunity.

If Lin Xia was willing to support him, the position of Heavenly Emperor was well within reach.

He would naturally not miss such a heaven-sent amazing opportunity.

Lin Xia nodded.

Subsequently, he cast his gaze toward the direction of Purple Heaven Palace.

Next, it would depend on Seeing Hongjun's actions.

After Seeing Hongjun and the many Heavenly Dao Saints discussed, he believed there would soon be a result.

By then, Seeing Hongjun would certainly re-establish the Heavenly Court.

Re-establishing the Heavenly Court was not just a simple matter of rebuilding the Lingxiao Palace and other structures.

The Heavenly Court was a product condensed from the order and rules of the universe.

Vaguely, it was connected to the Heavenly Dao.

Therefore, Seeing Hongjun, as a Saint who had merged with the Dao, would use the power of the Heavenly Dao to re-establish it.

Such a Heavenly Court would be the true Heavenly Court.

And at this time, in Purple Heaven Palace.

After a while, Seeing Hongjun finally reacted, looked at Laozi and Seeing Yuanshi, and asked:

"Then according to what you two think, who should take the position of Heavenly Emperor?"

Seeing Hongjun wanted to know the specific plans of Laozi and Seeing Yuanshi.

Hearing this, Laozi answered without hesitation:

"Reporting to Master, my personal disciple Xuandu can shoulder this heavy responsibility!"

Now, the Xun Sect's foundation was shallow, and its luck was floating.

Therefore, Laozi had long set his sights on the position of Heavenly Emperor.

He wanted to use the luck of the Heavenly Court to nourish the Xun Sect.

As soon as the words fell, Seeing Yuanshi also said without falling behind:

"In my Chan Sect, there are all people of great opportunity and great fortune."

"There is no lack of people who can shoulder the role of Heavenly Emperor."

Although the two did not elaborate, the implication was that they both wanted to leave the position of Heavenly Emperor to their own disciples.

Hearing this, Seeing Jieyin and Seeing Zhunti naturally did not dare to back down.

"Teacher, in my Western Sect, there is also no lack of creatures with great fortune and great luck who can shoulder the position of Heavenly Emperor."

Hearing the words of Seeing Jieyin and Seeing Zhunti, Laozi couldn't help but sneer and spoke:

"You in the West are barren, the creatures are scarce, the disciples are not many, and your roots and aptitudes are even worse."

"The Heavenly Emperor takes charge of the order of the universe and concerns all living beings in Honghuang; how can it be shouldered by you?"

Seeing Yuanshi nodded, his tone disdainful:

"Exactly, the Western Sect is not enough to shoulder this heavy responsibility."

"My Chan Sect has many disciples, each of them is a person of deep fortune and outstanding roots, and can shoulder the position of Heavenly Emperor."

Seeing Jieyin and Seeing Zhunti saw Laozi and Seeing Yuanshi belittle the Western Sect so much.

Their faces immediately revealed dissatisfaction.

Seeing Zhunti snorted coldly and said unhappily:

"Although my West is barren, it is not that there are no disciples with outstanding aptitudes."

Subsequently, he looked toward Seeing Hongjun.

"Laozi, my disciple Maitreya has outstanding roots, deep fortune, a compassionate heart, and is a person of great character; he is enough to shoulder the position of Heavenly Emperor."

Seeing Yuanshi looked at Seeing Jieyin and Seeing Zhunti indifferently and said calmly:

"Maitreya? His cultivation base is still too low; in my opinion, he is nothing more than that, how is he worthy of shouldering the heavy responsibility of Heavenly Emperor?"

"In my opinion, this position of Heavenly Emperor should be taken by my disciple Guang Chengzi."

For a time, Laozi, Seeing Yuanshi, Seeing Jieyin, and Seeing Zhunti argued endlessly.

This directly disrupted Seeing Hongjun's original plan.

He hadn't expected that the Xun, Chan, and Western religions were all coveting the position of Heavenly Emperor.

"There is only one Heavenly Emperor, so how should we decide?"

Seeing Hongjun said with a somewhat gloomy expression.

After all, at this time, the disciples of the Xun, Chan, and Western religions, plus Seeing Haotian, meant there were many candidates.

However, the position of Heavenly Emperor could only be chosen by one person.

Hearing this, Laozi seemed to have expected it and responded immediately:

"We can proclaim to the heavens and earth and nominate several people of great virtue."

"By the power of the faith of all living beings in heaven and earth, we can decide the candidate for Heavenly Emperor."

In other words, it was to inform all living beings in heaven and earth of the several candidates for Heavenly Emperor.

Afterward, whoever obtained the most power of faith from all living beings would be the new Heavenly Emperor.

"Hehe, you really have considered everything thoroughly."

Seeing Hongjun gave an unexplainable smile.

He had already seen that before Laozi and Seeing Yuanshi came here, they had already planned everything.

After all, achieving the position of Heavenly Emperor was a rare opportunity for the Ren and Chan religions to grow stronger.

Therefore, the two had naturally planned everything long ago.

Pausing, Seeing Hongjun continued:

"Since that is the case, let it be as you say." ===== CHAPTER 519 =====
