They saw his originally immortal and ethereal form suddenly shake, transforming into an exceptionally gorgeous and imposing gigantic peony flower, gently swaying atop the divine throne.
In the midst of the void, there floated four innate Taoist texts, ford from infinite rit: Flower, Bloom, Wealth, Honor.
The gods present seed to be quite accustod to this spectacle.
They heard Zhen Yuanzi continue to suggest, "I observe that Daoist Chang Xi has mastered both the Heavenly Dao Mirror and the Investiture of the Gods thoroughly. Currently, she is overseeing the affairs of the Heavenly Emperor in the Heavenly Emperor Palace, maintaining the order of the entire Heavenly Court in perfect harmony."
"This shows that in terms of status and ability, Daoist Chang Xi is an exceptionally fitting choice."
"Moreover, as the present Empress, her status makes it easier for her to be accepted by all gods in the Heavenly Court."
This suggestion can be said to be well-founded and convincing.
However, not all divine beings agreed.
"I think Daoist Chang Xi is not suitable."
Wang Shu, the Moon Bright Taiyin Supre, stated softly in her unimaginably cold tone.
"In the battle of the Heavenly Realm, the Heavenly Emperor fell, the Emperors suffered calamity, the entire Demon Clan has been greatly weakened, and Daoist Chang Xi herself is already disheartened."
"She is only compelled to assu the responsibility of overseeing the affairs of the Heavenly Emperor to stabilize the order of the Heavenly Dao and to prevent the flood in all heavens from bringing calamities to all beings."
"What we should do now is to select the new Heavenly Emperor as quickly as possible, rather than continue to burden a... weak woman."
The Nine Heavens Moon God, a... weak woman?
The gods present were at a loss about how to respond to such words.
However, since Wang Shu, the sovereign of Taiyin Star, had spoken so frankly, the proposal had to be dropped.
"I have an idea."
Zhun Ti contemplated and had already co up with a new candidate.
"Who might that be?"
Zhun Ti chuckled and said, "What do you all think of Hao Tian?"
"Hao Tian?"
"Yes!"
Zhun Ti smiled and added, "Hao Tian is…"
Just as he was about to elaborate on his reasoning.
Nuwa, the Taiwei Pri Minister, set down the Five-Colored Stone she'd been playing with and, with her beautiful phoenix eyes, scanned the assembly, saying in a tone that brooked no doubt:
"I have no objection to the candidate."
"However, the position of Heavenly Emperor is of supre honor, commanding the Heavenly Dao, and can only be occupied by one with great rit and willpower."
"Although Hao Tian is of exceptional origin, he has no achievents in the Primordial. If we directly place him upon the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, he might not command respect, and will likely encounter many obstacles in the future."
Venerable Jing Yao Purple Qi Taishang, stroking his beard and smiling at these words, imdiately added:
"The Pri Minister speaks rightly."
"We should arrange a trial of reincarnation for this future Heavenly Emperor."
"Let him reincarnate to re-cultivate, endure tribulations, and accumulate enough rit and cultivation in this endless Red Dust."
"When he has completed his rits and returns from his trials, he can officially ascend to the throne, master the Heavenly Court, and thus justifiably command the Universe."
He paused, adding another sentence.
"In the anti, Daoist Chang Xi can temporarily take on the duties of the Heavenly Emperor, ensuring the operation of the Heavenly Court."
As he spoke the last sentence, Taishang deliberately looked at Wang Shu.
Wang Shu hesitated for a mont, realizing this was only a temporary transition, and eventually lightly nodded her agreent.
"In the myriad worlds under the Ten Thousand Worlds, ti flows differently than in the Primordial True Realm, so this is acceptable, I agree."
Seeing this, the gods present imdiately said: "Since this is decided, let's not burden two masters with one task, and let you, Daoist, handle the matter of reincarnation."
"Certainly!"
Taishang agreed without hesitation.
He left the Taiwei Constellation, his figure flickering as he arrived at the partially restored Heavenly Emperor Palace to et with Empress Chang Xi.
He borrowed an item from her—the "Heavenly Emperor's Tribulation Transfer Scripture" personally authored by the Heavenly Emperor Taiyi.
Upon opening the scripture and seeing the densely packed, profound magic techniques within on surviving countless tribulations and re-cultivating the Great Dao amidst the Red Dust, even soone of his disposition could not help but exclaim in surprise.
"Eh? I hadn't realized that Sun Daoist had developed this scripture to such a profound level already?"

In the boundless All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, in a Great Thousand World belonging to the Brahma Heaven Great Universe, there was a nation nad "Guangyan Miaole Country."
The king of this country was known as King Jingde, and his queen was Queen Bao Yueguang.
This king and queen extended their benevolence and compassion to all their subjects, diligently governing, and never once showed the slightest neglect.
It led to the entire Guangyan Miaole Country being prosperous and peaceful with favorable weather and never experiencing disasters.
Yet, there was always a flaw; their only regret was their advancing age and the lack of an offspring.
For this reason, the king and queen offered incense and prayed day and night with sincere devotion, hoping to have a child to console their hearts.
One day, their sincerity finally moved the heavens.
Or perhaps, it moved the two saints dispatched to carry out a "reincarnation" mission.
