Hu Le returned to his own dojo in the Heavenly Court, so he naturally couldn't hear the couple's discussion behind his back.
Not long after they returned to the palace and sat down, Ziwei's brothers and sisters rushed over.
"Congratulations, Senior Brother!"
"Congratulations!"
Upon meeting him, everyone greeted him with smiles and offered their congratulations. Clearly, they had already learned about the arrangements for Hu Le from his parents.
"From now on, we brothers will all need our senior brother's help!"
After Ziwei bowed, she continued to joke.
Hu Le shook his head and chuckled, then tapped him on the forehead with his bamboo cane in an annoyed tone. "Heh, are you all deliberately trying to make a fool of yourselves? Do you guys need me to look after you?"
Hu Le laughed and scolded as he asked everyone to sit down, and then ordered the celestial maiden to bring out the celestial dew and spiritual fruit.
After many years apart, the group gathered together, chatting and laughing for a while. The awkwardness caused by not seeing each other for so long gradually disappeared, and the atmosphere became increasingly lively.
Ziwei and the others stayed at Hu Le's dojo for a long time before taking their leave.
The next day.
Hu Le went to Tongming Hall, met Taiyi, and then followed Taiyi to Lingxiao Palace.
Previously, Taiyi had already made all the necessary arrangements.
This time, not only did a group of important officials of the Heavenly Court gather in the hall, but also many powerful beings from the Primordial God Clan came.
Taiyi sat on the throne, and Hu Le automatically stood beside him.
After the officials bowed and greeted him, Taiyi got straight to the point and explained the purpose of summoning everyone.
The people in the hall were not particularly surprised to hear this.
It was clear that Taiyi had informed them beforehand, and they did not object on the surface.
As for what they really think, Taiyi doesn't really care. As long as he and his wife are alive, he doubts they can cause any trouble...
Do any of you have any objections?
After Taiyi finished speaking, he asked for the opinions of his ministers, as was customary.
"We will obey Your Majesty's orders in everything we do!"
Led by Immortal Yuanfu, all the high-ranking officials of the Heavenly Court bowed and accepted the order.
As for powerful beings like Di Jun and Hou Tu, they all remained silent. After all, this was a matter of the Heavenly Court, and it had nothing to do with them, so they naturally had no objections.
Anyway, Taiichi hasn't passed the throne to the emperor yet.
Otherwise, even if no one else speaks up, Di Jun will have to step forward and say something.
He had already become the Demon Emperor, but he was not satisfied and had always coveted Taiyi's throne as the Heavenly Emperor.
It is hoped that after Taiyi steps down in the future, he will be able to take over this position and achieve the Dao fruit of the Emperor.
Of course, the fact that Di Jun did not step forward to stop it does not mean that he is calm. Through today's events, he has guessed some of Taiyi's thoughts and understands that the other party is probably planning to pass the throne to Hu Le in the future.
Naturally, he was very dissatisfied with this.
However, given that Taiyi and his wife were still alive, he couldn't show it.
Besides him, some of the innate deities who guessed Taiyi's thoughts also felt a little displeased.
The Emperor is the supreme ruler of all the innate gods. All the innate deities must obey the Emperor's orders. To secure this position, one's cultivation and strength must surpass that of the entire god race.
Regardless of Hu Ledao's cultivation level, he is at least a junior. What right does he have to step on their heads and give them orders?
In any case, most of the innate deities present were not convinced.
However, Taiyi has not yet passed down the throne of the Heavenly Emperor. He has only appointed Hu Le as the "Central Limitless Cave Mysterious God" to temporarily handle the affairs of the Heavenly Court in his stead. Naturally, they cannot stand up and make irresponsible remarks.
...
Seeing that no one in the hall objected, Taiyi smiled slightly, clearly satisfied with everyone's attitude.
Then, an official from the Heavenly Court stepped forward and read out the imperial decree bestowing a title upon Hu Le.
"By imperial decree of the Emperor, and by the mandate of Heaven, the Eastern Divine Lord, King Hu Le, is born divine, intelligent, wise, and possesses boundless merit and profound moral understanding..."
What followed was a string of praises.
The ceremony concluded with the words, "He is hereby specially appointed as the Supreme God of the Central Limitless Mystery, by imperial decree!"
As the imperial decree was read aloud, a tremendous amount of fortune silently descended upon Hu Le.
Hu Le sensed the immense power of this aura and was quite surprised...
Hu Le suppressed his surging fortune, bowed to Taiyi in gratitude, and then accepted the imperial decree.
From this day forward, the entire Heavenly Court will be in his hands.
Taiyi rose from his throne, pulled him to the front of the throne, personally pressed him down onto it, patted his shoulder, and said, "From now on, the Heavenly Court is in your hands."
When acting, always remember to be impartial and fair in all decisions, and do not disappoint your teacher's expectations.
"Teacher, rest assured, your disciple will never disappoint you and your wife." Hu Le nodded solemnly.
"Good!" Taiyi nodded with a smile, then turned to look at the hall.
All the gods of Heaven bowed deeply in reverence.
"Greetings, Emperor Dongxuan!"
The sounds of worship immediately resounded throughout the entire Lingxiao Palace, then spread and lingered for a long time throughout the entire Heavenly Court and even every corner of the primordial world...
Watching this scene from his high vantage point, Hu Le felt a surge of heroic ambition welling up within him. He turned to speak to Taiyi, only to discover that Taiyi had vanished without a trace...
After seeing Taiyi leave, Hu Le regained his composure and turned his attention back to the palace. He had just ascended the throne and did not deal with any matters. Instead, he ordered people to prepare celestial dew, spiritual fruits, fine wine, and delicacies.
A banquet was set up in the Jade Pool Palace, and everyone was invited.
After everyone was seated, Hu Le gave a speech, saying that he was young and lacked virtue, and that he was ordered by his master to preside over the affairs of the Heavenly Court. He hoped that everyone would support him, and then raised his glass to invite everyone to drink together.
Everyone was very accommodating, raising their glasses in return, and the atmosphere in the hall quickly became lively...
After the banquet, the powerful beings such as Di Jun, Hou Tu, and Fu Xi, who had been invited by Taiyi to witness the ceremony, all took their leave. Hu Le ordered Ziwei to escort them out of the Yaochi Immortal Palace on his behalf.
Afterwards, all the important officials of the Heavenly Court took their leave, leaving only Hu Le and his brothers, Gou Chen, in the hall. After chatting for a while, they also said goodbye and left together.
In the following days, with the help of several of Taiyi's confidants, such as Immortal Yuanfu, Hu Le gradually gained control of the Heavenly Court's operations and handled some affairs without any major mishaps.
The operation of the entire Heavenly Court was thus smoothly handed over.
At the same time, news that Hu Le had been appointed as the Supreme God of the Central Limitless Cave and in charge of the Heavenly Court quickly spread throughout the prehistoric world.
Some people he was very familiar with, such as Daoist Duobao of Kunlun Mountain, Daoist Xuandu, and the Old Man of the South Pole, sent people to deliver congratulatory gifts.
Gifts were also sent from the ancestral court of the human race.
Even Zhen Yuanzi of Wuzhuang Temple, whom they had only met a few times, sent ginseng fruit.
The two great deities of the West, Amitabha and Cundi, also sent gifts through their disciples...
