Chapter 956 - 472: Xuan Political Commissioner: Don’t Force Us to Forge the Myriad Souls Banner! (Part 2)

With fervor, he bowed before Hao Tian once more, exclaiming, "Your Excellency's insight, I now know what to do!"

"Then trouble Your Excellency to contact Nine Heavens Profound Lady, while I consult with Heavenly Master Kunpeng and Emperor Zhenwu. Let's also send Gold Star Taibai as an envoy to East Kunlun to discuss the matter with the Three Pure Ones."

"With these three efforts combined, we should be able to invite Yaochi Golden Mother to preside over the Heavenly Court."

Seeing this, Hao Tian nodded with satisfaction.

He advised, "Alright, I'll leave this to you, continue on with it."

Saying this, Hao Tian waved his hand casually, leaving without any lingering attachment.

He casually took out a scroll of scriptures from his sleeve, browsing through it with interest while humming a tuneless melody.

Gradually, he vanished into the endless sea of clouds outside the Heavenly Emperor Palace.

Upon leaving the Heavenly Emperor Palace, Hao Tian concealed his form and headed straight for the Thirty-Three Heavens, arriving at the Heavenly Dao Academy.

The headmaster Yuan Huang immediately sensed the current Heavenly Emperor sneaking into the Heavenly Dao Academy.

She wasn't surprised by this.

Hao Tian had done such things more than once or twice.

"He's probably here to meet his classmates again."

Yuan Huang shook her head, resuming her focused cultivation.

Shortly after the Divine Enthronement War in the Other Shore Great Universe ended, Yuan Feng had already returned to the Primordial.

However, Yuan Huang was not eager to merge with the Nirvana Dao Fruit represented by Yuan Feng to witness the Dao of Taiyi.

Instead, she actively strategized around other Dao Fruits.

"There are many attributes related to the Fire Element Path: dawn, light, civilization, Pure Yang, Taiyang, Lesser Yang... it could even be Life."

"If these Dao Fruits are all melted together in a furnace, could it achieve a leap across the chasm and prove the Dao of Fire Pangu?"

Yuan Huang pondered quietly.

Meanwhile, Hao Tian was in the academy, meeting with Jin Peng, Kong Xuan, and Xuan Nu.

"The Heavenly Emperor skipped class again today?" Xuan Nu asked with a smile.

Hao Tian replied, "I left a Dao Body to preside over the Heavenly Emperor Palace today, not skipping class."

"Eh? What is that you're holding in your hand?" Jin Peng noticed the scroll of scriptures in Hao Tian's hand.

"Oh, this?"

Hao Tian raised the scriptures, showing them, "This is the 'Heavenly Emperor's Guide'."

"Heavenly Emperor's Guide?" Kong Xuan asked curiously.

"Yes!"

Hao Tian nodded.

Upon assuming the Heavenly Emperor Palace, Hao Tian studied a scroll of scriptures, the 'Heavenly Emperor's Guide.'

This 'Heavenly Emperor's Guide' was drafted by Fu Xi, penned by Bai Ze, continued by Kunpeng, and finally annotated by Chang Xi, who acted as the agent of the Heavenly Emperor's governance.

It recorded the daily governance and strategic outlines of the previous two Heavenly Emperors in detail.

Hao Tian learned a lot from it.

For instance, the Holy Heavenly Emperor's vision of the bigger picture.

For example, the collaborative governance of the Divine Emperor.

In passing, after ascending the throne, Hao Tian, to display his legitimacy, bestowed the previous Heavenly Emperors with honorary titles, calling them 'God.'

One reason is that before ascending, Taiyang Venerable was responsible for overseeing the Divine Dao, nurturing Innate God Monarchs for the Heavenly Realm.

The other reason is that the Demon Clan is also known as the Divine Clan.

Thus, Hao Tian honored the Second Generation Heavenly Emperor as the 'Divine Emperor.'

However, the various races who initially opposed the heavens did not agree.

While they could not publicly oppose Hao Tian in formal occasions, they privately referred to the Second Generation Heavenly Emperor as 'Demon Emperor' or 'Demon Heavenly Emperor.'

Across All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, after Heavenly Dao Essence made a firm decision.

Assuming the identity of the Balance Demon God, he began actively searching for his former peers across the boundless All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

His divine thoughts transformed into millions of invisible threads, weaving through the river of time, uncovering the mists of fate.

Yet, for reasons unknown.

Heavenly Dao Essence searched nearly every corner of the universe he could perceive, but was never able to contact any Chaos Demon God.

The entire Chaos Sea felt like a dead silent graveyard, his answers met only by eternal silence.

"It's truly strange."

After yet another fruitless search, Heavenly Dao Essence finally ceased his vain exploration, turning to look at the silent Taichu Incarnation beside him, his brows knitted into a deep knot.

He agitatedly waved a sleeve, stirring a ripple in the void.

"Why was the Fierce Beast Emperor God Nether able to find Chaos Demon Gods with such precision?"

"Yet we, despite all this effort and spending such a long time, have not even a shred of success?"

The Heavenly Dao Essence was at a loss, pacing in the void with arms crossed, muttering speculation to himself.

"Could it be that those cowardly Chaos Demon Gods, after being struck repeatedly by the Taiwei Heavenly Court, are now completely terrified?"

"So each of them has become a turtle hiding its head, concealing themselves thoroughly, not daring to reveal a single trace?"

Taichu Incarnation did not immediately respond.

He merely stood there quietly, his eyes as still as ancient wells, beginning to meticulously scrutinize the Heavenly Dao Essence carrying the title of [Balance Demon God] at this moment.

As if trying to see some overlooked clues on him.

After a moment, he slowly spoke in a tone devoid of any emotional color:

"Tell me, is there such a possibility."

"This title of [Balance Demon God] might... have long been overdrawn in terms of credibility among the other Chaos Demon Gods."

"Thus, when we reach out to them as [Balance Demon God], those cunning Demon Gods immediately choose to deliberately avoid and completely ignore?"

The Heavenly Dao Essence was taken aback by this.

He instinctively opened his mouth to refute but found no convincing argument for the moment.

"No... impossible, right?"

He stammered, a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

"Could Hong Jun really be so bad?"

As one who believed he had perfectly inherited all of Hong Jun's legacy, the Heavenly Dao Essence still clung to some fond illusions about the Daoist Ancestor.

In his understanding, though Hong Jun was notoriously insidious in conduct, scheming to an unfathomable degree,

overall, his starting point was still considered good, not to the extent of ruining his reputation so badly.

"Then... let's keep searching."

Taichu Incarnation did not argue, merely offering the suggestion calmly.

"Yes, keep searching."

The Heavenly Dao Essence took a deep breath, forcing down the doubts in his heart, and regrouped.

This time, he delved deeper into the depths of time and space.

He began to attempt resonating with the Heavenly Dao Wills of those Great Thousand Worlds, trying to use their omnipresent perspectives to search for any traces left by the Chaos Demon Gods.

He searched for a very, very long time.

Years passed, stars born and died.

Yet, the result was still nothing gained.

Now, even the Heavenly Dao Essence himself found his once stoic mindset on the brink of collapse.

He utterly gave up on the search, floating dejectedly in the void.

"That old Hong Jun!"

He finally couldn't help but curse aloud, his voice filled with the anger and grievance of being deceived.

"What a complete waste-maker!"

"Messed things up for himself, without leaving any fallback plan!"

Faced with harsh reality, he had to finally believe that the title [Balance Demon God] truly held no credibility in the circles of most Chaos Demon Gods.

So much so, that those Demon Gods would rather continue hiding than have any dealings with this name.

"Without contact with those Chaos Demon Gods, how can we connect?"

The Heavenly Dao Essence agitatedly scratched his hair, though he possessed no physical form.

He sighed heavily, his tone carrying the desperation of being driven to the edge.

"These fellows better not push me."

"If they truly push me too hard, I'll dig up Shen Ni's grave!"

His eyes glinted dangerously, and he exclaimed through gritted teeth.

"To retrieve some remaining legacy, and forge a true Myriad Souls Banner!"

"I'll see, then, how you skulking fools plan to evade! I'll summon each of you from your hideouts!"

Next to him, even the eternally serene Taichu Incarnation twitched slightly at the corners of his mouth hearing the Heavenly Dao Essence's declaration full of frenzy and violence.

In that moment, he profoundly understood.

Why the original would specifically emphasize having him act as 'Commissioner' when assigning tasks.

The conduct of this fellow before him was simply molded straight from Hong Jun's mold.

The same ruthless determination to achieve goals, the same viciousness, the same... unreliability.

"Let's keep searching."

Taichu Incarnation sighed inwardly but maintained his calm exterior.

He slowly spoke in a consoling tone.

"If all else fails, we... try the Myriad Souls Banner."
