As Ziwei Guankong and the others stood up to support Hu Le, Zhunti Daoren, who had been mostly silent throughout the conference, also suddenly spoke up in support of Hu Le's proposal.
As beings born of divine origin, who among us would wish for an additional emperor to appear above them?
Moreover, he and the Guide Daoist had long harbored the idea of following the example of Hongjun Laozu and establishing their own path, but they had not yet waited for the opportune moment, so they had not yet established a true lineage.
If the gods gain an additional emperor and unite them, how will those two brothers be able to poach members from the gods in the future?
After all, once they establish their own sect, they might be able to support it with just the two of them and their disciples, but they would still be far from being able to compete with the Xuanmen sect.
Therefore, they also need to recruit some guest elders with good cultivation and strength, just like the Xuanmen, to enrich the strength of their sect.
In the primordial world today, most of the powerful beings are among the gods.
This is the best target for poaching.
The Xuanmen has been constantly trying to recruit members of the divine race to join its ranks.
Of course, the two brothers would follow suit...
Following Zhunti Daoist's statement, several innate deities from the West also stepped forward to express their support for Hu Le.
Meanwhile, some of the divine races who were close to the Xuanmen also stepped forward.
They haven't forgotten that back then, the Eastern King Duke was killed by Taiyi for wanting to join the Xuanmen sect, who considered him a traitor.
They certainly didn't want to end up like the Eastern King Duke...
Hu Le's proposal unexpectedly garnered significant support from the Protoss.
This made the faces of Zhulong and Dijun's side even more unpleasant.
Zhulong cursed inwardly: This little guy is really ruthless, he actually wants to destroy the very foundation of my divine race.
Di Jun was even more eager to go up and fight Hu Le to the death.
"Xuanxiang! How dare you! If the Heavenly Emperor is deposed, how can my divine race contend with the Xuanmen? How can we maintain our dominance over the entire prehistoric world?"
If you dare to spout nonsense again, believe me, we'll remove you from the ranks of the gods.
Enraged, Zhulong finally dropped all pretense and threatened Hu Le.
He could let Hu Le wrangle around on the throne, but he absolutely could not tolerate Hu Le deposing the emperor.
Without the Emperor's leadership, the gods would inevitably fall into disarray, and the concept of gods might even disappear from the primordial world.
"Hmph!" Hu Le sneered, completely unafraid of Zhulong's threat. "Senior, you're already old! Why can't you just rest and recuperate? Why do you have to get involved in these mundane affairs?"
The so-called divine race, ha! They don't even have a single Primordial Saint, yet they dream of competing with the Xuanmen. It's utterly laughable.
As for removing me from the ranks of the gods, that's laughable. I doubt you could do that, old man."
At this point, Hu Le shook his head slightly again, his disdain deepening.
He walked to the edge of the cloud platform and continued, "Fellow Daoists, if you still want to recommend someone to be the Heavenly Emperor, neither the human race nor the Heavenly Court will recognize them."
"I have other matters to attend to in Heaven, so I'll take my leave now."
With that, he stepped down from the platform and walked towards the outside of the hall.
Ziwei, Guankong, and the others quickly followed.
Seeing this, some celestial beings from the heavens also hurriedly got up and followed suit.
A group of people followed Hu Le and walked out in a flurry.
"Xuanxiang! You stop right there!"
Upon seeing this, Di Jun was enraged and roared as he drew the Demon Emperor Sword from his waist.
Hu Le stopped and turned back with a contemptuous smile. "What! Your Majesty the Demon Emperor is so angry because you didn't become the Heavenly Emperor? Do you intend to keep us here?"
Upon hearing this, Di Jun's face twitched, but he instantly calmed down.
He certainly wanted to keep Hu Le here, but at this moment, under the watchful eyes of everyone, it was not a good time to make a move.
It should be noted that he proposed this conference of the gods, and he also took the initiative to invite these fellow practitioners.
If he were to make a move at this conference, he, as the host, would be the one to lose face, and it would also make him appear to be extremely intolerant...
"Fine! You can leave now!"
Di Jun knew that this conference was completely over, and the throne of the Emperor had already slipped away.
Even if he were to tear Hu Le to pieces, he probably wouldn't be able to ascend the throne again.
His heart was bleeding. In front of all the gods, he was ultimately unable to keep Hu Le here. He could only sigh and let Hu Le and his group leave in dejection.
Having achieved his goal, Hu Le did not press Di Jun any further. Instead, he nodded to Di Jun and led his men away.
"What a lively scene!"
Seeing Hu Le and the others leave, Zhen Yuanzi stood up with a smile, flicked the whisk in his arms, bid farewell to the nearby guides, and then stepped down from the cloud platform and walked directly outside.
The two Venerable Ones, Jieyin and Zhunti, also stood up from the cloud platform and politely greeted Dijun.
"Fellow Daoist, if there is nothing else, we should head back now."
Upon hearing this, what else could Di Jun do but give a forced bow to the two of them and reply, "Please, do as you please."
Hu Le has already made a complete mess of this divine assembly; even if he tries to persuade the two to stay, what else can he do?
For now, we can only admit defeat.
The two guides greeted Zhulong and the others again, ignoring their unpleasant expressions, and walked out side by side.
Seeing this, the assembled innate deities naturally took their leave and departed...
Before long, the entire hall became empty, with almost all the remaining people being members of the demon race.
In front of his subordinates, Di Jun had to maintain his dignity and could not show his dejection. His gaze sharpened again as he swept across the faces of the demon saints.
Finally, he waved his hand and ordered, "Alright! You may all go back now."
The demon saints also knew that Di Jun was probably extremely unhappy at this moment, and staying behind might make them the target of his anger.
At this point, being able to leave would allow them to avoid Di Jun's wrath, and of course they would be more than willing to do so.
Therefore, upon receiving the order, they hurriedly left the Sun Palace as if they had been granted a pardon.
Next, only Zhulong, Emperor Jun and his wife, Fuxi and his sister, and Kunpeng Ancestor remained in the hall.
As for Fairy Wangshu, she had already left long ago.
At the meeting, although she expressed her support for Dijun, it was only because of Empress Changxi's influence.
She didn't have much affection for Di Jun.
In her mind, Dijun was nothing more than an ambitious but incompetent person who accomplished nothing...
"That bastard!"
Zhulong finally cursed, "Taiyi's judgment is really terrible. How could he have taken in such an ungrateful and vicious person?"
Fuxi and his sister glanced at Zhulong, saying nothing but feeling somewhat impatient.
They've already walked away, what's the point of you cursing them anymore?
If you're so capable, you should have given him a good beating right there in front of him...
