Chapter 111: Playing for Keeps!

Thinking of this.

The moods of the six saints of the Heavenly Rice were all not very pleasant.

After exchanging greetings, the saints and the gods of Honghuang bid each other farewell and returned to their own dojos.

And inside Zixiao Palace.

Hongjun Daozu looked at Haotian and Yaochi kneeling before him.

Just then.

Hongjun Daozu shook his head helplessly and said.

"Enough, you may rise!"

"Master~!" After saying this, Yaochi at the side could not help but reveal a pitiful expression.

It turned out.

Ever since the Lich War, the Loose Cultivator Alliance they led had clashed with the God King Court of the stars in the Inner Star Sea.

They had not gained any advantages and instead suffered losses of troops and generals.

After the Lich War ended, the Divine Court moved into the Heavenly Realm.

They were consequently attacked from both sides.

Thus, they led a group of remnants back to the Yujing Mountain lineage.

Hearing this, Hongjun Daozu, feeling helpless, spoke up.

"You shall go to the Lower Realm, establish an Immortal Rice sect, and together with your senior brother Yuanshi, spread our Mysterious Gate Immortal Rice and promote the Heavenly Rice!"

Hearing this, Haotian's eyes lit up.

"Master, what should this sect of Haotian be named?"

"Such trivial matters need not be asked of me. Very well, you may go to the Lower Realm~!" After saying this.

While Haotian and Yaochi were still in a state of shock, they were transported outside Zixiao Palace. Outside Zixiao Palace.

Yaochi could not help but ask Haotian.

"Haotian, what do you think we should name the sect we are establishing?"

Haotian pondered for a while upon hearing this, then his eyes lit up and he said: "How about we call it Wutian Sect?"

Hearing this, Yaochi could not help but knit her delicate brows.

She shook her head and said: "No, Haotian Sect... then why don't you call it Yaochi Sacred Land?"

Thus, the two argued.

Finally, after arguing for several days.

They finally chose a resounding name... Heavenly Rice Sect!! And at this time inside Zixiao Palace.

After everything returned to calm once more.

Hongjun Daozu and Yangmei were still sitting quietly on their original Puan.

It was only then.

A figure suddenly appeared on another Puan beside them.

Seeing this, Hongjun Daozu and Yangmei Laozu could not help but have their pupils constrict.

"Two fellow Daoists, have you been well~!"

The avatar of Shengling Huang on the third Puan smiled indifferently.

Hongjun Daozu and Yangmei Laozu had long anticipated the arrival of Gu Zhangqing.

But what shocked them was.

They had not detected any signs of Gu Zhangqing's appearance.

And this.

Was precisely what surprised them.

This was nothing if not proof that Gu Zhangqing's current strength had already surpassed theirs.

"Congratulations, Shengling!"

Yangmei's congratulations, Hongjun's silence.

Seeing this, the corners of Gu Zhangqing's mouth curled up slightly.

Immediately, he cast his gaze toward Hongjun Daozu.

"Fellow Daoist Hongjun, not telling the six saints of the Heavenly Rice the truth about the innate sacredness of the Three Thousand Laws of the Great Rice—is this move to prevent them from also participating in the Dachan Universe?" Hearing this, both Hongjun Daozu and Yangmei Laozu had their pupils constrict once again.

He heard it? When did he arrive at Zixiao Palace? Why did I not detect any anomalies? Could it be that the gap between me and him is already this vast? Hongjun Daozu could not help but think to himself.

And Yangmei Laozu thought to himself.

This fellow Daoist Shengling...

Is he already about to step into that realm? Beyond envy, what Yangmei Laozu thought of more was that glimpse he saw from the Great Rice of the Source of Ten Thousand Daos in the future when he attained his Proof of Rice.

The aura on fellow Daoist Shengling is becoming increasingly similar to that person! Just then, Hongjun returned to his usual calm and waveless state.

He said with a calm expression.

"The time is not yet ripe, more talk is useless! Fellow Daoist, let us discuss the arrangements for the fourth batch of innate sacred beings!"

Speaking of this.

Yangmei Laozu at the side felt his interest surge and smiled with great interest.

"The two of you, why not add one more person? I also want to go down and play!"

People cannot be too idle, and this applies even to those who have attained the supreme Proof of Rice, otherwise they will let their minds wander too much.

Yangmei Laozu was exactly like this.

To this, Hongjun Daozu ignored him directly, while Gu Zhangqing just chuckled and let it pass.

What a joke! These Three Thousand Laws of the Great Rice, birthed from the Primordial World, naturally belong to the Primordial World; for you, an unrelated Chaos Demon God, to interfere.

Is this appropriate? The two of them naturally could not agree! Seeing this, Yangmei Laozu felt he had asked for a snub, so he sighed to himself and sat back down in his seat.

At this moment, Gu Changqing said with a serious expression.

"Regarding the matter of the fourth batch of Innate Sages, how does Fellow Daoist Hongjun wish to play this time?"

Gu Changqing and Hongjun Daozu knew that, judging by the current gestation situation of these Innate Sages.

During the rise of the Three Sovereigns of the Human Race, the first batch of three hundred and sixty-five high-level Innate Sages will be born! The second batch will have three thousand mid-level Innate Sages, who will be born during the rise of the Five Emperors of the Human Race! The third batch will have one hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred low-level Innate Sages, born at the time of the rise of the Human Dynasty! The number of these Innate Sages happens to correspond to the Zhou Tian Star Number.

Therefore, it has similarities and differences with the Great Thousand Universe mentioned by Yangmei Laozu.

This batch of Innate Sages can serve as the evolution of the Law Great Rice at the beginning of the opening of the Dachan Universe.

Coupled with the countless Law Great Rice practitioners within the Divine Court, the foundation of the Dachan Universe is likely to have initially met the standard.

But the problem now is how he, the Divine Court, and Hongjun's Mysterious Gate should distribute this fourth batch of Innate Sages about to be born! The three of them gathered this time to discuss this matter.

Hongjun Daozu remained silent for a while, then, under the gaze of the two, said calmly.

"Heaven has ordained the Three Sovereigns of the Human Rice; why don't we use this as a chessboard and set up another game!"

Hearing this, Gu Changqing narrowed his eyes slightly and asked calmly.

"What kind of game?"

Above the imperial court are gods; in the wild mountains are immortals.

"We shall set up a game using the imperial court and the sects and schools."

"The winner shall obtain one epoch of Human Luck, while the loser shall face the Divine Right of Kings or the imperial dynasty suppressing the sects and schools!"

Hearing this, Gu Changqing narrowed his eyes slightly, and Yang Mei gasped.

Playing truly ruthlessly! Hongjun's meaning was very simple.

He wanted to add one epoch of Human Luck to the distribution of Innate Sages to serve as the chessboard.

If the imperial dynasty forces represented by Gu Changqing win, then Gu Changqing will not only obtain one epoch of Human Luck, but in the matter of the distribution of Innate Sages, he will also be able to use the Lower Realm imperial dynasty to suppress the myriad sects and schools.

This signifies that the Divine Court forces are stronger than the sects and schools.

If Hongjun loses, then the sects and schools under his banner will inevitably be inferior to the imperial dynasty forces.

Conversely.

If the sects and schools represented by Hongjun win, then the Mysterious Gate will not only obtain one epoch of Human Luck.

It will also allow the sect forces under its banner to become Zhiga holy lands that everyone yearns for, while countless imperial dynasty forces will have to live by the grace of the sects and schools.

If Gu Changqing loses, then the imperial dynasty forces under his banner will inevitably be inferior to the sect forces.

This is no longer a simple matter of the distribution of Innate Sages.

This matter has already risen to the level of a dispute between the forces represented by the two, as well as a dispute between the Heavenly Rice Will and the Gods' Great Will.
