This primordial world is not serious!

Chapter 881 - 451: The Footprints of Immortal Yang Mei

"Water Star Daoist, I think, perhaps you should be the Heavenly Emperor."

[Golden Bright Taibai Venerable] Zhun Ti seriously cast his gaze toward that [Water Star Venerable] Ancestor Dragon whose aura was deep as the sea.

He spoke confidently, "Initially, after Jidu Daoist abdicated, according to the rules of our Taiwei Constellation, it should have been [Hidden Star Luo Hou Venerable] to succeed as the Heavenly Emperor."

"But unfortunately, Luo Hou Daoist later chose to embody the Dao for enlightenment, willingly transforming the Dao, plus both you and Ying Huo Daoist encountered accidents, hence Sun Daoist succeeded."

"Now, having successfully returned from the great catastrophe, you should by rights fill this position and become the Heavenly Emperor."

[Water Star Venerable] Ancestor Dragon did not expect such expertise from the other, who skillfully tossed the burden onto his head with just a few words.

Without a second thought, he refused without hesitation.

"That statement is incorrect."

Ancestor Dragon's voice was steady and strong, slowly speaking.

"Firstly, according to the rules we established together in Taiwei Constellation, the position of Heavenly Emperor is a successor by sequence, how can it be retroactively pushed back?"

"Since I had already fallen in the catastrophe, it shows that my fate with the Heavenly Emperor position has ended, my chance for succession lost. Forcefully renewing this fate now is actually inappropriate."

"Secondly, as the Lord of the Dragon Clan, I once took a great vow under the Heavenly Dao to eternally guard the Four Seas, not to interfere in affairs of the Primordial Continent. For me, this position of Heavenly Emperor is truly unsuitable!"

That Water Star Venerable was indeed Ancestor Dragon was something all present great powers had tacitly known since the previous great calamity.

Now, Ancestor Dragon personally broke this last window paper, thoroughly exposing his identity, leaving Zhun Ti speechless for a moment.

Thus, he cast his "expectant" gaze towards [Fire Star Ying Huo Supreme] Yuan Huang.

However, before he could speak, Yuan Huang's cool and melodious voice had already sounded, her words akin to those of Ancestor Dragon.

"Like Ancestor Dragon Daoist, I am bound by the great vow, and currently, it is indeed inappropriate to succeed to this position of Heavenly Emperor."

Well then, another straightforward self-revelation.

Zhun Ti fell into silence from the direct rejection by these former colleagues.

What could he do now?

Would he reveal himself too?

Then tell everyone he was actually Emperor Shao Hao, not to be misled by his intact presence in Taiwei Constellation, for he had already been thoroughly dead for quite a while?

Seeing this somewhat comical scene, [Dark Star Jidu Venerable] Xuanqing's lips couldn't help but rise slightly, almost unable to contain a laugh.

Let's not mention others, Yuan Huang's so-called great vow was purely an excuse.

During the Taiwei Heavenly Court and Immortal Dao Heavenly Court battle, Ancestor Dragon had set his great vow himself, voluntarily transforming his Dao to seek liberation.

As for the Phoenix Clan, the vow set to eternally guard the deity of the Undying Volcano, it wasn't Yuan Huang herself, it was obviously her predecessor, [Yuan Feng].

The great vow set by [Yuan Feng], what does it have to do with you, Yuan Huang?

Seeing Zhun Ti hesitating and looking as if he'd eaten a bitter gourd, all the gods present couldn't resist laughing.

"Taibai Daoist, don't evade anymore."

"Indeed, according to the rules, the next Heavenly Emperor should be you, what could be unsuitable about it?"

Zhun Ti looked at the "sincere" smiles of his colleagues and felt a chill down his back.

To speak the truth, Zhun Ti still fondly remembered the time when the Taiwei Constellation hadn't grown as large as it is now.

Back then, everyone took turns being the Heavenly Emperor, driven by spontaneity and unrestrained conduct.

Unlike now, the position of Heavenly Emperor has become the highest risk occupation.

Look at Sun Daoist, not even having completed his term, yet already fallen.

Eh? Term not completed?

At this moment, a thought sparked in Zhun Ti's mind.

He remembered that the current Heavenly Emperor [Sun Sun Venerable] Taiyi, although fallen, his term as Heavenly Emperor hadn't officially ended, there should still be a hundred Primordial Meetings remaining according to regulations.

Therefore, he quickly rolled his eyes and proposed a new suggestion.

He proposed that during the remaining term, they could first appoint a proxy Heavenly Emperor to temporarily succeed. If within these hundred Primordial Meetings, Sun Venerable manages to smoothly return from the Chaos, then naturally Sun Venerable would continue as Heavenly Emperor.

If Sun Venerable could not return in time, but [Wood Star Venerable] Fu Xi returns first, then Wood Star should assume the position.

If neither returns within the stipulated time, then he, Zhun Ti, will assume the Heavenly Emperor position, which would not be too late.

Upon hearing this, all the gods felt this suggestion was very reasonable, adhering to regulations and full of flexibility, thus they all adopted the suggestion.

"Since this is the case, who should assume this proxy Heavenly Emperor position to be most suitable?"

"How about letting Chang Xi Daoist master this emperor position, what do you think?"

At this point, [Earth Star Venerable] Zhen Yuanzi, who hadn't spoken much, finally spoke up.
