At this moment, everyone in the Chu Clan Royal Hall suddenly stopped their discussion. Then, a figure appeared at the entrance of the Royal Hall. Everyone looked towards the entrance and greeted in unison, "Greetings to His Majesty, the Heavenly Emperor!"
Heavenly Emperor?
Your Majesty?
What is all this about?
This matter has to be traced back more than seven thousand years ago.
At that time, the three great sages finally came forward, expressing their willingness to compromise, to truly stand on the side of the Human Clan and the Heavenly People Clan, essentially aligning with the Five Great Heavens, to jointly resist those deities that might appear in this world at any time.
This led to the first significant division within the Chu Clan Royal family.
This was an unprecedented occurrence in ten thousand ages.
Before Chu Mo took a stand, the Chu Clan Royal family was divided into two factions.
One faction was led by the Demon Lord, Chu's old ancestor, and the Drifting Empress, along with the Void lineage and their Master sect. They were the typical Pro-War Faction, very resolute, and expressed unwillingness to accept the arrival of the three great sages.
"The amount of harm they have caused our world, there is no need to elaborate, planning for ten thousand ages, even the great god Pangu was actually calculated to death by them! Why should we accept such beings?"
The other faction was led by the two wives of Chu Mo and the Piaomiao Palace, known as the Moderate Faction.
Their attitude was very simple as well.
"All the harm actually stems from the unknown, from different camps. By now, the invasion of the Five Great Heavens by the deities is inevitable. When those deities arrive, they will surely incite another wave of war, inevitably coveting our Void and looking to reconstruct the divine realm. At such a time, we should naturally unite all forces we can. Together, we will resist those deities."
In fact, the Pro-War Faction also agreed with the Moderate Faction's suggestion, but they couldn't trust that the three great sages, being pure rune beings, would sincerely stand in alliance with the Human Clan, the Heavenly People Clan, and all living beings of the Five Great Heavens.
"If this is a conspiracy, our losses will be severe!" was the viewpoint of the Pro-War Faction.
"They planned for ten thousand ages when we knew nothing and still couldn't do much to our world. Do we fear them now that we know everything?" was the viewpoint of the Moderate Faction.
Neither side could convince the other, and although they didn't turn on each other, the atmosphere within the Chu Clan Royal family was somewhat tense at that time.
This issue was leaked by the young junior members of the royal family onto the rune network.
As a result, a massive vote was initiated by countless beings across the entire Five Great Heavens on the rune network.
Thus, a dramatic scene unfolded, where nearly all beings in the Five Great Heavens overwhelmingly voted in favor of accepting the three sages from the Great Power Academy.
The reason was very simple.
"They were merely setting up plans but didn't actually do anything. Everything, in reality, was achieved by the Heavenly People Clan and the Human Clan themselves. If there's anyone who should not be accepted, it is the Lords of the Four Great Heavens... and all the Heavenly People of the Four Great Heavens!"
Alright, the rune network of the Five Great Heavens is indeed populated more by the Heavenly People Clan. They actually wanted to defend themselves.
"Even if mistakes were made, there should be a chance for redemption!"
On the side of the Pangu world, most humans still held good intentions. In the past, they could accept those Heavenly People, so now they could naturally accept the three sages from the Great Power Academy.
This outcome was unexpected by many before it happened. Including those in the Moderate Faction, who were somewhat surprised.
However, the final decision actually rested with Chu Mo.
After seeing the public opinion on the rune network, Chu Mo engaged in a deep exchange with the three great sages, talking for many days. In the end, Chu Mo decided to retain the three great sages.
Because he saw a great deal of humanity within them!
Although the three great sages themselves were unwilling to admit it, the fact was, everyone except themselves could see it.
The fundamental reason for Chu Mo's decision was that when he mentioned Chu Hui, he saw a look of desolation in the eyes of the three great sages.
They too were saddened by Chu Hui's death, but true rune beings would not exhibit such emotions. That is to say, physically... the three great sages were still pure rune beings, but in their hearts, they were infinitely close to humanity!
Chu Mo finally decided to retain the three great sages and let them teach at the Chu Clan Academy.
To many, this decision seemed impossible for the three great sages to accept. What status do they have? Even the Lords of the Four Great Heavens would courteously call them sages in front of them. How could they possibly go to teach at the Chu Clan Academy?
Unexpectedly, what surprised many was that the three great sages gladly accepted Chu Mo's arrangement.
Furthermore, they proposed to Chu Mo to transform the Chu Clan Royal family into the Heavenly Court! Requesting Chu Mo to become the first Heavenly Emperor of the Five Great Heavens world! To rule over all beings! To master the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
The proposal from the three great sages was directly refused by Chu Mo.
Though, in fact, he already was the ruler of the entire Five Great Heavens world. Yet, he didn't want to bear such a title on himself.
He had done so much for the Human Clan and the Heavenly People Clan, not to seek anything in return. But to truly transform this world into a paradise for all living beings.
His greatest wish in his heart, after all had calmed down. When all crises were resolved, he would directly take his two wives and then go find the other Chu Hui. The Venerable Chu Hui, Chu Mo had long since found her. However, it took Chu Mo many years to reincarnate her primordial spirit into a human.
It no longer counted as manipulating the Six Paths of Reincarnation. In fact, no one could manipulate reincarnation now. Chu Mo was merely continually helping the Venerable Chu Hui, allowing her to accumulate merit. When the merit reached the point of reincarnation into a human, only then did Chu Mo bring her back.
And this was a recent event.
Not long after Chu Mo rejected the proposal of the three venerables, a new wave arose on the rune network.
This time, it was the collective request of all living beings, asking the Chu royal family to establish the Heavenly Court and Chu Mo to be crowned as the Heavenly Emperor!
At that time, Chu Mo still wished to refuse, but this time, he was persuaded by everyone in the entire Chu clan.
The will of the people cannot be violated!
This was the most important reason everyone used to persuade Chu Mo.
It was the collective wish of all living beings in the immeasurable Five Great Heavens; they desperately needed a true leader to guide them in facing any possible future events.
Thus, Chu Mo could only choose to accept.
Over nineteen thousand years ago in the Pangu Calendar, which is over four thousand years ago now, Chu Mo was finally crowned as the Heavenly Emperor.
By then, the Chu royal family had already been the Heavenly Court for over a thousand years!
Chu Mo became the Heavenly Emperor, with Qi Xiaoyu and Shui Yiyi as empresses.
Thus, the entire Five Great Heavens finally achieved a true and high-level integration!
On the day Chu Mo was crowned as the Heavenly Emperor, auspicious signs were everywhere in the world of the Five Great Heavens. These omens also signified the world's true recognition of the Chu royal family as the Heavenly Court and Chu Mo's coronation as emperor!
This recognition was even more precious than the recognition of all living beings.
Without that kind of qi movement, without that kind of merit, this heaven... would not easily acknowledge a person.
After Chu Mo became the Heavenly Emperor, he began to directly issue many edicts. Previously, these edicts were actually customary rules followed by the creatures of the Five Great Heavens. However, some humans or Heavenly People did not comply with these.
Once the edicts were released, everything thereafter had regulations.
As such, whether it was the City Lords or the nobles, they now had a real basis to rely on. Handling various matters would no longer feel tricky, and there were many constraints on them. Naturally, they could not act as freely as they did in the past.
It seemed these edicts added some chains to the creatures of the world, but in fact, it was not so.
After all, in this world, there are many weak, and they truly need protection.
Additionally, the powerful entities cannot act too wantonly. Having laws to follow is always better than acting on whims.
Therefore, these edicts began to be implemented smoothly throughout the Five Great Heavens.
Meanwhile, the Four Great Heavens' rulers remained the Four Great Heavens' rulers. They followed various edicts and each governed their own great heaven realm.
This time, so many major figures gathered here because of the large number of gods who had infiltrated.
Chu Mo waved his hand at everyone, gently saying: "No need for such formalities, everyone."
Then, he strode like a dragon and tiger towards the imperial throne at the end of the hall.
"Please be seated, everyone." Chu Mo nodded towards everyone after standing in front of the throne, then sat down.
Everyone in the hall, including the Demon Lord and the elder Chu, who were Chu Mo's elders, all took their seats only after Chu Mo sat down.
Looking at everyone, Chu Mo spoke with a calm expression and gentle voice: "Recently, I've received various reports saying a large number of gods have successfully infiltrated. After entering our Five Great Heavens, they began seeking major power institutions and simultaneously infiltrating our world without directly taking overly aggressive actions. What are your thoughts on this phenomenon?"
As he spoke, Chu Mo cast his gaze towards his grandfather, Elder Chu.
Among these people, Elder Chu's status was undoubtedly the highest. Chu Mo was the Heavenly Emperor, and Elder Chu was the grandfather of the Heavenly Emperor!
In truth, that was a level truly akin to the Supreme Ruler.
Chu Tianji and Ji Qingyu have lived rather leisurely these years. Actually, Chu Tianji is also a genuine pro-war faction member. However, he hardly concerns himself with Heavenly Court affairs. As for the likes of the young Chuchu, they now all devote more thought to other matters and also assist in dealing with various affairs for the Heavenly Court.
This world is too vast, and the Heavenly Court has too many matters to govern. But the people within the Heavenly Court have long since learned how to delegate power, so they aren't too overworked.
Looking at Chu Mo, Elder Chu said in a deep voice: "This situation is actually the most dangerous."
