Taiyi's gaze swept over his sons, and he sighed, "Alas, my children, your mother and I are afraid we can no longer protect you. From now on, you must be careful in everything you do, and lest you needlessly invite trouble..."
Taiyi kept giving instructions to his sons.
He has always presented himself with an air of authority, even in front of his sons, and this is the first time he has shown such tenderness towards his children.
As Ziwei and her brothers saw Taiyi's figure gradually turn into an illusion, they couldn't help but sob.
Seeing the sorrow on Ziwei and the others' faces, Taiyi smiled and said, "You don't need to be like this..." As he spoke, he took out a plain-colored cloud banner from his sleeve, which contained several spiritual treasures, and handed it to Ziwei.
"These magical treasures belong to your mother and me, and we will no longer need them in the future. So I am giving them to you today for self-defense."
Finally, he looked at Hu Le's face and smiled, "Now that you have achieved the Great Luo realm and received the blessings of Pangu, you have your own destiny in the future. I am not too worried about you. Next, the inheritance of the Heavenly Emperor lineage will be handed over to you."
As he spoke, he reached out and the Chaos Bell fell into his hand. He ran his hand over the bell, dispelling the primordial spirit imprint within it, and then handed it to Hu Le.
"Now that you are also Pangu, this thing should be under your control."
These supreme treasures created at the dawn of time have their own destiny, and even Taiyi cannot grant them to others at will.
Otherwise, even if he handed the Chaos Bell over to Ziwei and the others, under the workings of fate and with insufficient strength, they wouldn't be able to control it, and it would be more of a curse than a blessing for them.
Knowing that this would be their last farewell, Hu Le did not refuse and reached out to take the Chaos Bell.
But it wasn't over yet. Taiyi took out another precious seal from his sleeve, which was the Kongtong Seal.
He then handed the Kongtong Seal to Hu Le.
"This item was originally your master's wife's personal treasure. She asked me to pass it on to you so that you could keep it. The future of the human race is also entrusted to you."
If you are determined to achieve the Dao Fruit of the Human Emperor, you can also use this seal to gain an advantage.
If she has no interest in the throne, you could help her find a suitable emperor and then give this treasure to him; that would be a way to establish a good relationship.
After Taiyi finished speaking, he looked up at the sky with a leisurely gaze. A gust of wind blew by, and his body transformed into specks of white light, drifting away into the distance on the breeze...
Hu Le held the Chaos Bell in one hand and the Kongtong Seal in the other, his face sorrowful, staring intently at the place where Taiyi had disappeared.
Suddenly, a tear slid down from the corner of his eye and drifted down to the mortal world.
This was the first time Hu Le had shed tears since his reincarnation in the primordial world, and perhaps it would be the last...
That single tear drifted down to earth, eventually falling into a valley and instantly transforming into a clear lake.
In later generations, a down-on-his-luck traveler accidentally came to the mountains. Because he was extremely thirsty, he drank the water from the lake. Suddenly, countless sorrows welled up in his heart, and he immediately lay down by the lake and wailed.
I cried for several hours until my tears ran dry. Only then did the inexplicable sadness dissipate, and the fatigue from the journey vanished. I felt as if I were floating on air.
This change made the traveler marvel at the lake.
Later, he returned home, and from then on his fate changed dramatically. He lived a life free from illness and disaster, with exceptionally good luck. He not only had many children and much happiness, but also accumulated a vast fortune, and lived to be a hundred years old before passing away.
He knew that these changes had occurred after he drank the water from the lake, so he told his family about it, and it gradually spread among the people, leading countless people to search for it.
Unfortunately, although the lake is located in the valley, only those with a special destiny can see it. Otherwise, no matter if you are the emperor or a high-ranking official, you will never be able to see this lake if you are not destined to do so.
Those fortunate enough to receive such blessings enjoyed the benefits of the lake and regarded it as a sacred lake...
...
Seeing that Ziwei and his brothers were still crying their hearts out, Hu Le composed himself, put the Chaos Bell and the Kongtong Seal into his sleeve, walked over to them, and began to comfort them.
Before they could stop wailing, one by one, the immortals and gods came over. When they saw Ziwei and the others, they were filled with suspicion and uncertainty.
Hu Le summoned some important officials to his side and informed them of the passing of Taiyi and his wife.
Upon hearing the devastating news, all the immortals and gods turned deathly pale.
The Heavenly Court was already in a state of panic after suffering such severe damage, with countless palaces collapsing and many heavenly soldiers and generals killed or wounded.
Upon learning of the passing of Taiyi and his wife, they were all devastated, feeling as if they had lost their pillar of support.
Hu Le sighed inwardly, offered them a few words of comfort, and then sent them off to repair the palace.
Hu Le walked to the front of Tongming Hall, raised his hand and pointed, and the collapsed palace immediately stood up again, restoring its original appearance.
He called Ziwei and the others into the hall, comforted them for a few words, and then sent them away, telling them to go back and lick their wounds on their own.
The first thing he did after sitting in the hall was to begin refining the Chaos Bell.
Since this treasure had become ownerless, and he had cultivated the perfect Pangu body, he already had a great affinity with the Chaos Bell, so refining it was not difficult.
In just a few months, he left a primordial spirit imprint inside the Chaos Bell, thus completely possessing this treasure. The rest was just a matter of time and effort to refine the innate divine restriction within the Chaos Bell.
He knew he would be busy for some time to come, as both the Heavenly Court and the human race needed his help. So he put the Chaos Bell into his body and slowly nurtured it with his magic power.
He ordered his men to summon Ziwei, Taibai Jinxing, and Yuanfu Xianweng to the Tongming Hall, instructing the three to temporarily take charge of the restoration of the Heavenly Court and the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm. He then rode the clouds away from the Heavenly Court and soon arrived at the Zhoushan Human Ancestral Court.
At this time, the human race also learned of the fall of Empress Jinde, and the ancestral court was shrouded in an atmosphere of sorrow.
After arriving at the ancestral temple, Hu Le went directly to the Human Emperor Hall, sat down in the main seat, and ordered someone to summon all the elders.
Before long, a group of elders and priests arrived and were all taken aback when they saw Hu Le sitting on the throne of the Human Emperor.
Some people muttered to themselves, "This Dongxuan Emperor is really not polite."
However, no one has shown any objection on the surface for the time being.
Chisongzi stepped forward and bowed slightly. "Greetings, Emperor Dongxuan. May I ask what your orders are for summoning so many of us here?"
Hu Le did not answer immediately, but took out the Kongtong Seal from his sleeve and gently placed it on the desk in front of him.
"Before my teacher passed away, he instructed me to take charge of the Kongtong Seal and temporarily assume the position of Human Emperor. Does anyone have any objections?" Hu Le asked directly without any politeness.
Everyone had different thoughts upon hearing this, but they all focused their attention on Chisongzi, waiting to see how this Grand Elder would respond...
