“In that case, we can further refine these six major duties. We need not discuss such trivial matters further. As for the other five officials, they can each perform their duties accordingly, manage the affairs under their jurisdiction, receive the mandate of Heaven, and act in accordance with Heaven’s will.” Xuan Tian nodded when he saw that no one had any objections.
"What the Sage Xuantian said is true. With such clear division of duties and mutual checks and balances among the officials, the Heavenly Court can be kept safe." After listening to what Xuantian said, Laozi felt that it was quite comprehensive. The remaining question was how to divide his own interests.
“That is the way it should be. Other specific matters can be decided by Haotian himself, and we do not need to discuss them further.” Yuanshi understood that as long as they grasped the main issues, that would be enough.
"That's excellent!" Tongtian, Nuwa, Haotian, and Yaochi all agreed with Hongyun's suggestion and nodded in approval.
"In that case, we can settle the other five imperial guards and the six major duties. Junior Brother Haotian's guards, the positions of imperial attendants and palace guards can be arranged by himself." Haotian nodded to himself, at least he hadn't been sidelined.
"Of the Five Emperors, the Six Paths of Reincarnation was perfected from the very beginning. Therefore, the remaining three Emperors require discussion among you all." Xuan Tian, seeing that the Heavenly Court's positions were largely settled, knew it was time to distribute the spoils. While he wasn't interested in the Heavenly Court's power, he wouldn't relinquish the Six Paths of Reincarnation. He made it clear: the others were up to you to choose. He then asked the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa, leaving the two Western Emperors out, as they had already been excluded by the others. The group didn't hesitate, as if afraid of missing out. Yuan Shi spoke first: "My disciple Taiyi always cherishes a heart for helping others and has profound roots in the Way. Therefore, I recommend Taiyi as the Great Emperor of the North Pole, Ziwei. Whether this is feasible or not, I ask you all to judge." Yuan Shi had originally wanted Taiyi to enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation, but Xuan Tian had already spoken, and the situation was indeed as described, so there was no point in arguing further. Everyone remained silent. Thus, the Great Emperor of the East Pole, Qinghua, became Yuan Shi's disciple.
"I have only one disciple, and there are no other disciples of great virtue in the Human Sect, but Nanji Zi is worthy to be the Antarctic Longevity Emperor," Laozi said softly. This Nanji Zi is the Antarctic Immortal, a human born after birth. When Nuwa created humans, she accidentally used too much force. Although Nuwa had not yet become a saint, her magical power was still considerable. This directly resulted in Nanji Zi's head being significantly larger than that of an ordinary person. He was later raised by Laozi, but Laozi had not yet attained enlightenment and had no time to care for Nanji Zi, so he placed him on Shouyang Mountain to cultivate on his own. Later, when the Three Pure Ones attained enlightenment, Laozi returned to Taichi Heaven, but Nanji Zi did not follow. Instead, he went to Kunlun Mountain to cultivate, becoming very close with the disciples of Yuanshi Tianzun. At this time, Laozi brought Nanji Zi forward, giving him a place to settle down. Everyone agreed with Laozi's words, and thus the Antarctic Longevity Emperor was appointed.
"The Great Emperor Gouchen of the Western Pole commands all thunder and controls the affairs of war in the Three Realms. In fact, he refers to all the demons under heaven. He should be my demon race. The Great Sage of the Demon Race, Bifang, has great power and is highly respected by the demon race. Moreover, he survived the great war between the witches and demons. Therefore, he can be the Great Emperor Gouchen." Nuwa has also chosen the person.
