For a time, it seemed as if the whole world had turned upside down, and the Jade Emperor Haotian was in a complete mess.
Seeing that the rebel armies from all over were about to reach the Heavenly Palace, he had no choice but to go to the Chaos Purple Cloud Palace with Yaochi to seek help from the Ancestor Hongjun.
Unfortunately, they had just arrived in the primordial starry sky and hadn't flown far when hundreds and thousands of demon lords and demon gods suddenly appeared from all directions, surrounding the couple.
Seeing this, the two realized they had been tricked.
At this point, they had no choice but to fight to the death.
In a way, they sensed a glimmer of hope: if they could break through the encirclement and reach the Purple Cloud Palace, they would surely find a sliver of hope for survival...
Thus, a fierce battle ensued between the two sides in the primordial starry sky.
This is clearly Ziwei and Gouchen's territory, yet they seem completely unaware of what's happening here.
The outcome was obvious: no matter how capable the couple were, they were ultimately overwhelmed and killed by the combined forces of the enemy.
Just as these demons were preparing to exterminate them all, not even sparing the true spirits of the couple, a Tai Chi diagram suddenly flew in from beyond the sky, swept up their true spirits, and sped away...
Meanwhile, Ziwei and Gouchen were listening to Hu Le expound on the Hunyuan Dao Fruit in the Heavenly Dao Palace.
As a sage, Hu Le sensed the fall of Haotian and Yaochi, and immediately stopped preaching, calling the two to his side.
"What are your instructions, Senior Brother Sage?"
Ziwei bowed respectfully and asked.
Hu Le said indifferently, "Now that the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother have unfortunately perished, the Heavenly Court is probably without anyone to preside over it. You are all one of the Six Imperial Emperors, so hurry back to the Heavenly Court and take over their authority."
Ziwei and Gouchen exchanged a glance, both shaking their heads and sighing, a hint of shared sorrow flashing in their eyes.
Although they had long suspected that Haotian and his wife's actions would lead to a very worrying end.
But no one expected that the two of them would perish so quickly.
Seeing that the two of them looked very strange, Hu Le, out of respect for Taiyi and his wife, gave them a special reminder: "You two don't need to worry about this."
This is the final tribulation that Haotian and Yaochi must undergo. Only by passing this reincarnation can the couple truly sit atop the Heavenly Palace and wield the power of creation.
In fact, the tribulations that Haotian and Yaochi had already been resolved.
Unfortunately, they presumptuously manipulated the changes of Heaven and established Heavenly Laws.
These heavenly rules are not only used to regulate all living beings, but also target all kinds of immortals and gods.
Logically speaking, although the leaders and saints of the various sects are of the primordial state, they are essentially still immortals and gods, and are also within the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Laws.
This demonstrates the power of these Heavenly Laws.
However, in doing so, they not only offended the gods and immortals, but also the saints.
Since the establishment of these heavenly rules was in accordance with the will of Heaven, the various religious leaders and saints had no choice but to reluctantly accept them.
But in reality, they never intended to let the couple off easily.
Thus, the saints tacitly joined forces and, taking advantage of the time when the Heavenly Laws were about to be tested, used cause and effect as a pretext to set up another calamity for the couple.
Of course, under the will of Heaven, everything has a glimmer of hope.
The saints didn't go too far. As long as Haotian and his wife could break through the encirclement of everyone in the primordial starry sky, escape to Zixiao Palace, and seek Hongjun's protection, this calamity would be over.
Unfortunately, the two were not strong enough and ultimately failed to seize this glimmer of hope.
Fortunately, this tribulation is merely a cycle of reincarnation. In the next life, a Taoist master will come to enlighten them and help the couple achieve enlightenment once again...
The two brothers shook their heads in disbelief upon hearing this.
Regardless of your status, whether you're the Jade Emperor or the Queen Mother, as long as you haven't attained the Primordial Chaos Realm, you'll always be a pawn in the hands of the sages, unable to escape the fate of being manipulated...
Upon learning of the deaths of Haotian and his wife, the two could no longer continue listening to the teachings and immediately rushed back to the Heavenly Court...
They took over the power of the Heavenly Court, which meant they also took over the mess they were in, and they had no choice but to send their troops to suppress the rebellious demons in the prehistoric world.
At the same time, the two brothers summoned Guan Kong, the Antarctic Immortal, and even the Empress Houtu, who was in seclusion in the Houtu Palace.
The five emperors discussed the matter at the Heavenly Palace for a long time, and they finally agreed to mobilize their troops.
And so, the Heavenly Court and the Underworld joined forces, and a massive army began to hunt down demons and monsters throughout the primordial world.
Perhaps seeing the fall of Haotian and his wife, the masterminds behind those demons all backed down, making the suppression of the rebellion unexpectedly much easier.
Even though they encountered some tough challenges along the way, they still managed to overcome them.
Who told them to have the support of the three major schools of Taoism and the Xuanmen sect?
Therefore, those rebellions arise suddenly and perish just as quickly.
With the combined efforts of the Heavenly Court and various religions, the numerous rebellions were almost completely quelled, and the primordial world was restored to its former peace...
Meanwhile, Hu Le was already walking in the sky above the river of time.
As he walked slowly forward, turbid waves rolled beneath his feet, and countless spiritual lights rose and fell in the long river.
Along the way, Hu Le would occasionally reach out and collect a bit of spiritual light from Hanoi.
These spiritual lights are all fragments of the primordial spirits of Taiyi and his wife.
Because the two of them had self-destructed, their primordial spirits shattered into countless fragments. And because so much time had passed, even though Hu Le has now cultivated to the Hunyuan realm, it is simply impossible for him to collect all the fragments.
Because some tiny fragments of primordial spirit, washed away by the river of time, have long since been restored to wisps of innate primordial energy.
In other words, the two of them had attained the Three Sovereigns Dao Fruit in the past and had also witnessed the wonders of Hunyuan.
Therefore, the primordial spirit inevitably possesses a trace of immortality, which is why the larger fragments of the primordial spirit were able to survive the long and protracted erosion of time.
However, even so, Hu Le was still unable to collect all the fragments of the two people's spirits in the end.
Ultimately, neither of them could be fully resurrected.
All Hu Le could do was send them to reincarnation, using the power of reincarnation to replenish their missing true spirit.
Even after many reincarnations, even if their true spirits were fully repaired and they embarked on the path of cultivation again, achieving enlightenment, they would no longer be the original Taiyi and Jinde Niangniang...
This is why Hongjun, the patriarch of Zixiao Palace, did not stop him when he did this.
Let alone the fact that these two will never be able to cultivate to their former heights again, even if they were to be perfectly resurrected, they would pose no threat whatsoever to the current Hongjun Ancestor, and could be destroyed with a flick of his finger.
This is no longer their era...
Hu Le traveled upstream along the river of time. As specks of spiritual light flew out from the river and landed in his hand, they gradually condensed into two orbs of true spirit, which transformed into a radiant sun and a bright moon, seemingly real yet illusory. They slowly rose in his palm, radiating dazzling innate divine light...
