Chapter 228 The Astonishment of the Two Human Emperors
"We are deeply grateful for the Heavenly Emperor's grace in creating us!" A thunderous roar of responses rang out, filled with heartfelt gratitude.
They knew better than anyone that without Emperor Jiang Hao, let alone resurrecting the Holy Emperor, the Sun God Cult itself would probably have been suppressed and wiped out long ago.
It was only after the Heavenly Emperor rose to power, swept away all enemies, retrieved the remains of the Holy Emperor and the imperial artifacts, and protected the human race that they were able to inherit the legacy.
Furthermore, the Heavenly Emperor promoted the establishment of the Human Emperor Temple system, pointing out the direction of resurrection, and now, with supreme power, he has turned the legend into reality.
The same scene occurred almost simultaneously within the Taiyin Divine Sect.
The ancestral home of the Taiyin God Cult.
Under the cool, clear light of the Taiyin Temple, even the Taiyin Divine Sect disciples, who were known for their calm and reserved demeanor, completely lost their composure.
The members of the Taiyin Divine Cult clenched their fists, tears streaming down their faces with emotion.
The leader of the Taiyin Divine Sect, gazing at the figure shrouded in Taiyin radiance in the starry sky, slowly knelt down, his voice choked yet clear:
"The leader of the Taiyin Divine Sect, leading all disciples, respectfully welcomes the return of the Human Emperor and kowtows in gratitude for the Heavenly Emperor's great favor!"
Behind him, a sea of people knelt down.
Many older people were overcome with grief and could not hold back their tears.
"It was worth it...it was all worth it..."
An old woman who had participated in the construction of the earliest temples and claimed that she only wanted to see the return of the Human Emperor shed two lines of clear tears from her cloudy eyes.
Gazing at the starry sky, a smile played on her lips as her breath gradually faded, eventually returning to stillness.
She left with a smile, because she saw the final light.
……
When the two emperors finally stood before the Thirty-Three Heavens Palace, they gazed at the vast and boundless Heavenly Court before them.
When they gazed upon the Heavenly Court complex, which exuded an immortal Daoist aura, even the most knowledgeable among them couldn't help but reveal a look of awe.
This is absolutely a magnificent creation.
The entire Heavenly Court seemed to have grown directly from the origin of the Great Dao, subtly resonating with the pulse of this universe.
The palaces and pavilions were all cast with supreme immortal materials and divine gold, yet they had no trace of craftsmanship, only a natural and flowing Daoist charm.
"It's like a myth!" the Sun Emperor exclaimed. This was the most magnificent celestial palace he had ever seen!
Holy and great!
The Taiyin Human Emperor nodded as well, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, truly remarkable!"
The Yin Emperor sighed.
Then he suddenly felt nine vast and powerful energies emanating from beneath his feet, each of which was located at a key point in the heavens.
"This feeling..."
"It's the Nine Cauldrons," Jiang Hao's calm voice rang out, clearing up the confusion for the two.
"I forged nine cauldrons, which I distributed to various parts of the heavens, to regulate the earth's veins, stabilize the universe, and establish the foundation for all ages."
The cold eyes of the Taiyin Emperor gleamed with a strange light: "Using the Nine Cauldrons to suppress the world and harmonize heaven and earth, this method is indeed very ingenious."
No wonder I felt the laws governing this world were much smoother than when I first woke up; now I understand!
Nine Cauldrons! Fellow Daoist Jiang, where did you get so much immortal gold?
An ordinary enlightened being would be lucky to have one or two pieces of material, let alone nine!
Oh, right, you can rob the forbidden zone. Fellow Daoist Jiang must have borrowed from the forbidden zone!
But how many times would it take to borrow that much!
The group then talked for a while, and the two emperors were even more shocked when they learned what Jiang Hao had done.
This junior is just too outstanding!
They wouldn't believe it if these events hadn't actually happened: they sorted out the great principles of heaven and earth, established the Heavenly Court and set up order, and brutally defeated the forbidden zones, forcing all of them to submit.
Is this something a true believer can do?
If he had done just one of these things, he would have been remembered for eternity, but Jiang Hao did them all!
To sort out the myriad paths of heaven and earth, and forcibly cleanse the diseases of the great Dao of heaven and earth caused by the ancient divine war!
The two of them knew the difficulty and danger involved better than anyone else!
That's equivalent to using one's own strength to fight against the inertia and backlash of the entire universe's natural evolution over countless years!
The slightest mistake could lead to the destruction of one's path and death, and might even trigger the collapse of laws at the level of the heavens!
It takes immense strength and a strong sense of responsibility to choose to do this!
The Yin Emperor surveyed the vast, orderly scene around him, where all living beings performed their duties.
"Is the Heavenly Court the central authority of order you established after you sorted out all the myriad paths?"
"Yes." Jiang Hao nodded, his gaze distant.
"The way of all things has been in order, but people's hearts are selfish. In all the heavens and myriad realms, the bullying of the powerful, the killing of those with grudges, and the struggle for resources never end."
Now that I have the ability, I wonder if I can establish a basic order and set a bottom line.
To give the weak a chance to breathe and to bring order to chaos, the Heavenly Court was established, Heavenly Laws were set up, and the Hall of Law Enforcement was built to oversee all the heavens.
I dare not claim absolute fairness, but I strive for relative order, so that the flame of civilization will not be easily extinguished in meaningless chaos.
Establish order, and oversee the heavens!
The Sun Emperor and the Moon Emperor exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock and admiration in each other's eyes.
They fought for humanity and fought for living space for humanity, giving their all.
What Jiang Hao did was to establish a set of rules for the operation of all the heavens!
This spirit and vision have completely transcended the scope of a single clan or realm; it truly represents a heart set on creating peace for all generations!
The three of them walked to the square in front of the Lingxiao Palace. From here, they could overlook part of the magnificent scenery of the Heavenly Court and also feel the strange fluctuations of Kunlun Ancient City.
The Yin Emperor keenly sensed something and looked towards a remote corner of the universe:
"There seems to be a stable passage there, connecting to a strange world with more complete laws and a more profound origin?"
Jiang Hao followed her gaze and nodded, saying, "That's the ascension passage to the Lesser Immortal Realm."
"A minor fairy realm?" the Sun Emperor wondered.
"Beyond this universe, there are other great worlds," Jiang Hao explained briefly.
"One of them is called the Lesser Immortal Realm. Its environment is special, the lifespan of its beings is longer, and its laws are closer to the Immortal Path. I joined forces with my fellow Daoists Lingbao and Yuanshi."
This relatively stable passage has been opened up, providing cultivators in this realm with another path to choose from, and also allowing them to explore and accumulate strength in preparation for potential future changes.
Open a passage between the two realms! Explore the future beyond!
The two ancient emperors fell completely silent.
Untangling all paths, ushering in a golden age, establishing the Heavenly Court, laying the foundation for order, paving the way to immortality, and exploring the path ahead...
Each and every one of these achievements is a monumental feat, enough to make any emperor or monarch famous for eternity.
And this junior in front of me has accomplished all of this in just over 100,000 years!
And it was done with such ease and grand vision!
The Sun Emperor let out a long breath, looked at Jiang Hao with a complex expression, which finally turned into a heartfelt exclamation:
"Fellow Daoist Jiang Hao, your actions transcend the titles of Great Emperor or Ancient Sovereign. You have restored order to the universe, established a new order, and paved the way forward. You are creating a completely new era for this entire world!"
The Taiyin Emperor also looked intently at Jiang Hao, his clear, cold voice carrying an unprecedented solemnity:
"Back then, we were content with merely securing a place for humankind to survive. But seeing your work today, I realize what it truly means to carry on the legacy and usher in a new era. Humankind is fortunate to have you, and this world is truly blessed to have you."
Their praise was genuine; it stemmed from their heartfelt awe and admiration after witnessing the great achievements Jiang Hao had made.
