This primordial world is not serious!

Chapter 815 - 433: Demon Path Saint, Merit-Based Apotheosis Method! [6k]

Perhaps it was Nuwa's use of Merit to achieve enlightenment in the Primordial Chaos, which provided the divine beings of All Heavens with strong inspiration and motivation. In this peaceful era, the exploration of one's Great Dao reached an unprecedented peak.

A peculiar atmosphere began to pervade the upper echelons of the divine circle in the Primordial.

"If nothing's happening in the Primordial, why not go into seclusion?"

This seemingly teasing remark unexpectedly became the consensus of the vast majority of innate divine beings.

Though the era of peace was leisurely, for those existing beings who inherently pursued the eternal and the transcendent, prolonged peace inevitably bred a trace of... boredom.

However, the majesty and order of the Heavenly Court were deeply rooted in people's hearts, and for the time being, no one truly wished to be the bird that disrupts the order of heaven and earth by stirring up earth-shattering events.

Thus, everyone unanimously chose two paths: either through avatars or projections, they would head into the endless All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds to "stir things up," experiencing different civilizations and seeking new inspiration for the Dao path; or they would embark on prolonged retreats in their respective Dao Fields, immersing themselves in the profound comprehension of the Great Dao, hoping to elevate their cultivation to a new peak during this flourishing era.

This "seclusion trend" even spread to the core decision-making body of the Heavenly Court—the Heavenly Dao Committee.

As the various affairs of the Primordial Heavenly Realm and All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds got on track for stable development, among the three thousand committee members acting as executors of the Heavenly Dao's power, quite a few ancient beings began submitting "long vacation applications" to the Heavenly Emperor, all unanimously stating: "Mind inspired, wish to seek a place for a retreat to pursue breakthroughs in the Dao."

In response to this situation, the Heavenly Emperor Di Jun not only was not troubled but rather welcomed it, approving most of the requests with a wave of his hand.

Di Jun sat at the Emperor's Throne in the Palace of the Polestar, reviewing the piles of "leave memorials," with a delighted heart.

"Ah, before taking office, I was somewhat worried that I wouldn't hold this position of Heavenly Emperor firmly and couldn't suppress the unyielding divines. But now it seems, those worries were completely unnecessary!"

"Thankfully, back then I had foresight, fearing sudden demise, I had quietly disbanded my Dao Body, traveling the All Heavens while avoiding calamity and updating my kept-in-dark-mastery—the 'Heavenly Emperor's Tribulation Transfer Scripture.' At this rate, the scripture might well be announced discontinued!"

Di Jun joyously continued approving leave for the divines, while cheerfully contemplating the future.

"Currently, in the Heavenly Court, ruler and subjects are harmonious, and the myriad gods are united, playing a unified game. If this trend continues, I am confident that in this era, I can elevate the power and prestige of the Heavenly Court to an unprecedented pinnacle!"

"By then, I will directly use this supreme position of 'Heavenly Emperor' as my ultimate Dao marker reflecting from void to reality. To achieve the Taiyi Da Luo Realm, wouldn't it just be like reaching into a bag and taking something out?"

Humming a tuneless melody, Di Jun seemed to already see his beautiful future, standing shoulder to shoulder with The Three Pure Ones at the Fifth Realm of Da Luo.

Heavenly Realm, Government Hall.

A divine being, dressed in Star Official robes, was watching the approval message on the Heavenly Emperor's Order with a face full of joy.

"Eh? My application for a retreat and cultivation holiday got approved so quickly? The efficiency's really high!"

He glanced at the additional condition of the approval: "Must hand over all governmental affairs to the Divine Officer of the Heavenly Court before leaving the post... Haha, that's simple!"

Immediately, he summoned his deputy, rapidly completing all the necessary work transitions, and then with great joy, he transformed into a stream of light, leaving the Heavenly Court.

"Yo, my leave also got approved?"

Not far away, another divine being received the approval order from the Heavenly Emperor, showing a relieved expression.

"Great! Off work, off work! Finally, I can go to Chaos and stir up some new happenings!"

Nearby, Demon Master Kunpeng was taken aback upon hearing this. He raised his head, his usually somber eyes filled with confusion.

"Daoist, didn't you report that you wanted to go into seclusion to comprehend the Great Dao?"

"Heh!" The divine nonchalantly waved it off and said matter-of-factly, "Seclusion is just an excuse, a reason to skip work. My brother, you're still too young."

He leaned towards Kunpeng, lowering his voice with a "let me teach you" demeanor.

"Think about it, 'not in one's position, not worrying about its politics.' We worked hard for such a long leave, obviously, it's to freely and justifiably do whatever we want! Otherwise, do you really think everyone is so passionate about learning, always thinking of going into seclusion and exploring the Great Dao?"

Kunpeng was speechless at those words. He watched as that divine left with dash and looked at his desk piled high with unmanageable affairs, suddenly feeling... he might be the odd one out.

Thus, as more and more divine beings from the Heavenly Dao Committee entered a "seclusion" or "vacation" state, the order of the Primordial World continued to operate stably under a delicate "power vacuum."

However, unbeknownst to many, numerous ancient divine beings with profound cultivation and capable of peering into the Heavenly Secret gradually discovered an extremely grave issue—

The Heavenly Secret had begun to grow increasingly obscure and more chaotic!

In the past, when they deduced the future, though there were often variables, the general trend was always clearly visible. But now, the future seemed to be shrouded in a dense fog so thick it couldn't be dispersed, and no matter what Divine Skills they used, they could only see a blur and disorder.
