Rebirth of the Wilderness

Seeing the strange phenomenon suddenly appear, everyone looked up and saw a Taoist priest slowly appearing in the center of the battlefield on a auspicious cloud.

This Taoist was wearing a Taoist robe, holding a whisk in his hand, with a peaceful face and eyes revealing deep wisdom and compassion. He was none other than Taoist Hongjun.

His appearance seemed to bring a sense of tranquility and peace to the battlefield, instantly easing the atmosphere that was originally filled with murderous intent and hatred.

The survivors of both the wizard and lich races were stunned. They didn't understand why Taoist Hongjun appeared here.

Hongjun looked at the few remaining members of the two tribes and sighed, his eyes filled with heaviness and helplessness.

He knew very well how glorious these two tribes had once been. The tribesmen had lived together on this land, multiplied and created their own civilization and legends.

However, now there are only a few people left, standing alone on the barren land, as if they may be eliminated by the times at any time.

"Alas," Hongjun sighed again, his voice full of sorrow, "You were once so powerful, so united, one of you ruled the sky, and the other ruled the earth, but now..."

After listening to this, the creatures of the two tribes present were silent. They all knew that what Hongjun said was the truth.

The glory of the past has become a thing of the past, and now they are just the afterglow of the times.

After a while, Hongjun decided to take action.

He summoned the other six saints and said to the four saints, Taishang, Yuanshi, Tongtian, and Nuwa: “Now the witch and lich races are in decline and no longer have the ability to rule the world.

Among the four of you, who is willing to take on this important responsibility, to govern the world and maintain order?"

After hearing this, the four saints' faces changed slightly. They knew that being in charge of the world was a great responsibility. Although they held high positions and had great power, they would be entangled in countless causes and effects, which would be very detrimental to their future practice. So they all remained silent.

Jie Yin and Zhunti, who were standing aside, were secretly delighted when they saw the performance of the four saints Tai Shang, Shi Yuan, Tong Tian and Nuwa.

They thought that since the four direct disciples of Hongjun did not want to rule the world, then this important task would definitely fall on the shoulders of their two brothers.

After all, they are different from the four saints. In order to become saints, they owed a huge debt to the Honghuang Heavenly Dao.

As long as you have mastered the management authority of heaven and earth, wouldn't it be easy to accumulate merit and fortune to repay your debts?

However, their wishful thinking was wrong.

Seeing that the four saints were unwilling to take charge of the world, Hongjun had already expected this and did not force them. Instead, he turned directly to the two boys and girls behind him - Haotian and Yaochi.

"Haotian, today I will make you the Emperor of Heaven and grant you the Haotian Mirror."

Hongjun's voice was majestic and solemn, "Yaochi, you are the Queen Mother of Heaven, and I have given you the Qiankun Bowl and the Xiantian Peach Tree.

You two will support each other in the future and rule the world together."

"Thank you, teacher. I will do my best and live up to your expectations!"

Upon hearing Hongjun's bestowal, Haotian and Yaochi immediately stepped forward and knelt, their hearts filled with excitement and gratitude.

Just after they finished expressing their gratitude, they saw the two men shed their boyish appearance in an instant, one became dignified and solemn, and the other became graceful and elegant.

Seeing the changes on their bodies, Haotian and Yaochi were extremely satisfied. They had never thought that they, a boy, would one day become the Emperor of Heaven and Queen Mother who rule over the world, and be granted with top-grade innate spiritual treasures.

Jie Yin and Zhunti looked at each other, and the secret joy in their hearts vanished in an instant.

They never expected that Hongjun would skip them and directly choose Haotian and Yaochi to rule the world.

This made them feel disappointed and helpless, but given Hongjun's unfathomable nature, the two could only accept this fact silently.

The four saints Taishang, Yuanshi, Tongtian and Nuwa also felt unhappy.

They thought that Hongjun would choose one of their disciples to rule the world, but they didn't expect that Hongjun would directly let his two boys and girls be the mothers of the emperor.

Doesn't this mean that from now on, even they, the saints, will have to listen to these two boys?

This made them feel a little difficult to accept, but facing Hongjun's decision, they could only accept it helplessly.

Hongjun naturally noticed the thoughts of the six saints, so he told Haotian and Yaochi: "Although you will be the emperor and queen mother of heaven in the future, you should always consult the saint brothers and learn from them with an open mind."

Upon hearing this, Haotian and Yaochi immediately nodded in response.

They knew clearly that in this ancient world, it was the strength of cultivation that ultimately counted.

Although they were appointed by Patriarch Hongjun as managers of heaven and earth, they did not expect to be able to command the saints, but hoped to receive guidance and help from the saints.

After hearing what Hongjun said, the expressions of the six saints eased a little.

They understood that Hongjun was reminding Haotian and Yaochi to remain humble and learn, and at the same time to calm their emotions.

This way of handling things made them feel a little relieved. At least Hongjun still placed the status of the Emperor of Heaven and Queen Mother below that of them, the saints.

Then, he said to the six saints, "You six must also help Haotian Yaochi from time to time and jointly maintain the order of the prehistoric world."

"After this matter is over, I will unite heaven and earth, and I will not appear unless there is a catastrophe between heaven and earth. You guys take care of yourselves!"

These words caused a solemn feeling to well up in the hearts of the six saints.

They knew that this supreme being was about to enter a new level. He would merge with the Way of Heaven and become a part of the great universe.

This also means that Hongjun will not appear in the world for a long time, and there will be only six saints like them in the world.

After explaining everything, Hongjun took a deep look at everyone present.

His eyes were full of expectation and trust, as if he was placing his hopes for the future on them.

Then, he nodded slightly in the direction of Zhao Song, which was a silent recognition and encouragement.

"Hedao..."

Hongjun shouted softly. Although his voice was light, it was like thunder, echoing between heaven and earth.

These two words are not just a simple command or spell, they also represent a supreme realm and mission.

As Hongjun finished speaking, his body began to gradually become blurred, as if it had merged into one with all things in the world.

At this moment, the atmosphere between heaven and earth became extremely solemn and dignified, as if witnessing this great moment.

A moment later, Hongjun's figure slowly disappeared between heaven and earth under the gaze of everyone.

His He Dao is not only the ultimate pursuit of his own cultivation, but also a kind of protection and commitment to the ancient world.

Everyone present, including the six saints, was deeply shocked by this scene, and they all felt that there was something extra between heaven and earth.

They knew that Hongjun's Hedao meant that the six of them would be the most highly-cultivated beings in the prehistoric world, and they would have to shoulder more responsibilities and jointly maintain the order of the prehistoric world.
