Seeing him leave, Laozi breathed a sigh of relief and asked Gu Xuan, "Fellow Daoist Gu, the Heavenly Court is almost destroyed, and the Heavenly Emperor position is vacant. Is there any...?"
"No problem, I'll fix it."
"As for the Heavenly Emperor..."
Speaking of which...
Gu Xuan's gaze fell on his disciple, Xu Xinnian.
He suddenly smiled, pointed at Xu Xinnian, and said, "How about my disciple Xu Xinnian succeeds to the position of Heavenly Emperor?"
"Master?"
Xu Xinnian quickly replied, "I'm used to living a carefree life on my own. Asking me to be the Heavenly Emperor is absolutely out of the question!"
"It's okay, you'll get used to it."
Gu Xuan reached out and patted Xu Xinnian on the shoulder, saying.
"......."
Xu Xinnian was speechless.
Upon hearing Gu Xuan's words, the celestial officials naturally had no objections.
In order to leave a good impression on Gu Xuan, they all bowed down to Xu Xinnian and said, "Your subjects pay homage to the Heavenly Emperor, may you live as long as the heavens!"
The throne of the Heavenly Emperor.
Since his master, Gu Xuan, made the decision directly, Xu Xinnian had no choice but to accept it.
Subsequently, the Heavenly Court also fell under Gu Xuan's command with a wave of his hand.
It was restored to its original state.
As for the grand ceremony of the new Heavenly Emperor's succession, it will be held on an auspicious day three days from now.

Before leaving, Laozi approached Gu Xuan.
A glint of shrewdness flashed in his cloudy eyes. "That drop of blood...you deliberately let it go?"
The two exchanged a glance.
They tacitly avoided each other's gaze.
After everyone had dispersed...
Xu Xinnian finally couldn't help but ask, "Master, what about that black smoke just now..."
"It was I who deliberately let them go."
Gu Xuan flicked his finger, setting up a soundproof barrier. "There's another mastermind behind Hongjun. That drop of blood will lead us to the real mastermind."
Xu Xinnian's pupils contracted slightly: "So your weakness just now..."
"Seven parts truth, three parts falsehood."
Gu Xuan's lips curled slightly. "We always have to give the rats lurking in the shadows a little courage."
......
Meanwhile, at the bottom of Tianchi Lake.
The drop of dark divine blood had swelled into a fleshy cocoon several feet in size, its surface covered with vein-like patterns.
"Thump...thump..."
A slow, strong heartbeat echoed in the darkness...
Each jump sends up a burst of bubbles.
The nearby underwater soil gradually turned an eerie gray-black, and began to wriggle as if it were alive.
