Chapter 169: Chapter 128, Heavenly Emperor Suppresses the Primordial World_2

Boom~ Infinite Sea Water crashes into the North Sea, and between Heaven and Earth, only a Pagoda hovers, radiating with a purple-golden glow.

An ominous voice echoed above the North Sea: "Emperor Haotian, I will follow your will today, but you owe me karma."

Atop the Altar, Emperor Haotian smiled indifferently, I owe you karma? If you have the ability, come and claim it! Looking around the Primordial Land, rolling dark clouds engulf the entire Primordial Sky, beneath the Nine Heavens all is darkness, Heaven and Earth lose their colors.

Emperor Haotian shouted loudly: "In the Lower Realm, there shall be a Great Sun dominating the sky!"

In the darkened sky of the Lower Realm, a clear and bright crowing sounded, and a Three-legged Golden Crow burning with intense white light appeared, transforming into a Great Sun suspended in the sky, and in an instant, Heaven and Earth regained light.

In the Western, Lu Ya suddenly looked up from sitting on a large tree at the brand new Great Sun in the sky, exclaiming in both shock and anger: "Father!"

His figure turned into a rainbow light, soaring into the sky.

"Little friend, where are you going?" A gentle voice rang out.

The rainbow light suddenly stopped mid-air, and Lu Ya reappeared.

Zhunti emerged from the void, looked at Lu Ya with a smile, and said: "Little friend, with your current strength, going there will only lead to being suppressed by Heavenly Emperor."

Lu Ya’s eyes were bloodshot, screaming in anger: "My father’s body hangs in the sky, how can I stand aside and ignore it? How could I be a son otherwise?"

The magnificent voice of the Heavenly Emperor rang out again: "In the Lower Realm, there shall be a Silver Moon in the sky!"

A bright moon appeared in the sky, within which the faint silhouette of a cassia tree could be discerned. Now the Sun and Moon shared the sky, and the stars faded.

Zhunti looked up at the sky, smiling and saying: "Your father has become the Great Sun, illuminating the Primordial World; henceforth, you will be blessed by the Primordial Land, favored by Qi Fortune, and bestowed with Merit."

Blessed by the Primordial Land, favored by Qi Fortune, and bestowed with Merit? It was like a basin of ice water poured over his head; Lu Ya’s mind suddenly cleared, and the seething rage disappeared.

Lu Ya looked up at the sky mournfully and said: "Although my father has fallen, from now on, he will hang in the sky forever, lighting my way with his light and warmth, and I can always see him. Isn’t that a happy thing, too?!"

Zhunti nodded with a smile and said: "To think in such a way, it is a great virtue."

Lu Ya turned to Zhunti and asked: "Who are you? Why do you help me?!"

"I am Zhunti, just a passing little Cultivator." Zhunti said smilingly.

Lu Ya’s eyes lit up, and he promptly knelt down to bow: "Greetings, Saint, please take me as your disciple."

Zhunti cheerfully said: "You possess great wisdom and strong roots, having experienced prosperity and decline, showing tremendous perseverance, you are indeed rare talent. If you can endure the austerity of our Western path, you may follow me and cultivate."

Lu Ya exclaimed excitedly: "I can endure anything, thank you, Saint, for taking me as your disciple." He kowtowed three times with a thud thud thud.

Zhunti chuckled: "Follow me."

Lu Ya stood up, following Zhunti towards the Western direction, looking up at the Sun in the sky one last time, Father, I will diligently cultivate, I will not tarnish your and Uncle’s glory. One day, I will definitely regain what we have lost.

The grand voice echoed between Heaven and Earth: "Today, Our Heavenly Court redefines time, what was a day in the past will now be a year, a year has three hundred and sixty-five days, divided into the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

A day will have twelve hours, namely Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai, these are the twelve Earthly Branches!

At midnight, Yang energy rises, and at Chou chickens crow; at Yin, it’s still dark, and with Mao comes sunrise; after Chen it’s time for food, and at Si, rest is due; at high noon, the Sun is overhead, and at Wei, it slants west; at Shen it is afternoon and dusk falls at You; Xu is twilight and at Hai, all settles. This shall be the Way of Heaven and Earth! From today onwards, a day in the Heavens, a year on Earth."

The grand voice echoed between Heaven and Earth, the reverberation lingering.

Both the Great Sun and the Silver Moon faded, all was dark between Heaven and Earth, then from the Eastern, a ray of dawn broke, within the dawn’s light a luminous radiance appeared, the Great Sun rose slowly, casting gentle light, illuminating the land.

The Merit Cloud which had covered the sky and formed dark clouds also dissipated, and tufts of White Cloud appeared, disappearance does not mean non-existence, as the Plain Cloud World Flag has always represented colorlessness.

Before the Fire Cloud Cave, Suirenshi, clad in animal skins, stepped out, gave a respectful bow towards the direction of the Heavenly Court, and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Only someone who has experienced the despairingly long darkness can truly appreciate the significance of the changing of the days for the Human Clan, Suirenshi felt a heartfelt gratitude.

Across the Primordial Land, countless weak creatures knelt on the ground, issuing excited cries of roar.

...

Above the altar in outer space, the Heavenly Emperor Haotian revealed a faint smile, as the Haotian Tower, Haotian Mirror, and Hao Tian Sword appeared simultaneously. He then stepped forward, preparing to descend from the altar.

Suddenly, the sky above the altar stirred with wind and clouds, and a Xuanhuang-colored Merit Cloud drifted over. It split into three parts: sixty percent fell towards Emperor Haotian, twenty percent went in the direction of Turquoise Pool, and the remaining twenty percent descended towards the East Sea.

Emperor Haotian halted in his tracks, looking up at the sky with a surprised and delighted expression. Could there still be merit to gain? Does this mean the Heavenly Dao also approves of my actions? His heart was instantly filled with tranquility.

A pillar of merit’s light enveloped the Jade Emperor, disappearing in a few breaths.

The figure of Emperor Haotian flashed and next appeared in the center of the Heavenly Court, walking towards the Turquoise Pool.

Li Changgeng, holding a horsetail whisk, jogged over with excitement and called out, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

Emperor Haotian stopped and asked with a smile, "What is it?"

Li Changgeng came closer, bowed with hands clasped, and joyfully exclaimed, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Now our Heavenly Court is renowned throughout the Primordial World, and the rise to prominence is just within reach."

Emperor Haotian laughed heartily and said with satisfaction, "Changgeng, even when our Heavenly Court rules supreme over the Primordial World and ten thousand immortals pay homage, you are still the person I trust the most."

Li Changgeng responded gratefully, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Haotian, filled with a sense of achievement and brimming with confidence and anticipation for the future, walked out. Li Changgeng followed closely behind, his face flushed with excitement.

A graceful figure flew from the distance, came close, and with a respectful bow said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother invites your presence!"

Emperor Haotian laughed and said, "It seems that the Turquoise Pool is also eager to share the joy with me. Changgeng, arrange for someone to guard the outer Heavenly Gate. In the coming days, many Immortal Gods will likely come to seek employment. Select carefully, and do not fill the ranks indiscriminately."

Li Changgeng respectfully answered, "Yes!"

Emperor Haotian walked towards the Turquoise Pool with his head held high and a smile in his eyes. No doubt, they’re setting up a banquet in the Turquoise Pool, waiting for me! Today, I will fill the Turquoise Pool with joy.

Emperor Haotian entered the Turquoise Pool, where in the fountain plaza there was a table set up, with three women sitting around it—the Yaochi Chang’e and Xuan Nu.

Upon seeing Emperor Haotian enter, Chang’e and Xuan Nu rose to their feet and said with a bow, "We greet Your Majesty!"

The Jade Emperor waved his hand and laughed, "No need for formalities, please sit!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Haotian looked at the small tiles on the table with a hint of puzzlement in his eyes. What are these?

The Queen Mother of Yaochi said gently, "Your Majesty must be tired, please have a seat."

Without suspicion, Emperor Haotian sat down and spoke jovially, "It wasn’t too exhausting! Since the Saints have already approved this matter, everything went quite smoothly. I owe thanks to the Turquoise Pool."

Chang’e and Xuan Nu also sat down.

The Queen Mother gently asked, "Your Majesty, do you know what these are?"

Emperor Haotian looked at the neatly stacked small tiles on the table and shook his head, "I do not know! They don’t seem like food."

"This is called mahjong, a new game that has become popular in the East Sea. Today also happens to be an extraordinary occasion of joy for our Heavenly Court being celebrated through the Primordial World; how about we play a few rounds?"

Emperor Haotian laughed heartily, "That sounds good, repairing the Heavenly Court has indeed worn me out. It’ll be good to relax." He picked up a mahjong tile and asked, "How is this played?"

"I’ll teach you."

After the Queen Mother explained briefly and they played a few trial rounds, Emperor Haotian quickly grasped how to play mahjong. He won several games in a row, laughing from time to time, full of vigor and contentment.

The Queen Mother of Yaochi glanced at Xuan Nu.

Xuan Nu, looking nonchalant, pushed her mahjong tiles forward and said, "Your Majesty, playing like this really isn’t very interesting. How about we bet on something?"
