This primordial world is not serious!

Will the Taiyang Venerable become the next Heavenly Emperor?

In terms of experience, the Taiyang Venerable is one of the elders of the Taiwei Constellation.

In terms of strength, he is a Great Divine Power User of the Daluo Third Realm.

Moreover, this is the decision of Xuanqing, the Taixu Elders, and the Heavenly Dao Permanent Council.

From these perspectives, it seems quite natural for the Taiyang Venerable to succeed as the Heavenly Emperor.

However, in the hearts of the gods, other thoughts inevitably arise — Can the Taiyang Venerable manage?

The current Primordial, under the governance of the incumbent Heavenly Emperor, has long been accustomed to a gentle and inclusive ruling style that nurtures growth quietly.

Changing to a Heavenly Emperor with a completely different approach, can the Primordial maintain its current harmony and prosperity?

The gods couldn't help but ponder this question intensively.

Some more thoughtful divine beings have considered deeper issues.

Xuanqing, as Heavenly Emperor, possesses absolute strength to suppress all directions, supporting and balancing various forces so that Primordial flourishes in diversity.

While the Taiyang Venerable is top-tier, he is not exceptionally outstanding.

Can he withstand the pressure?

For a moment, the atmosphere became more nuanced within the Heavenly Emperor Palace.

Some supporters believe the Taiyang Venerable's talents and vision will surely lead Primordial toward new heights.

Some worriers fear that he lacks the strength to control the gods, leading to new conflicts.

Some neutrals remain silent, observing quietly, waiting for further developments.

As the core figure of this event, Di Jun, the Taiyang Venerable, appeared calm.

He did not display wild joy as imagined, nor did he worry about whether he could fulfill his role.

Succeeding as the next Heavenly Emperor was something discussed long ago.

The Holy Heavenly Emperor still governs as of now.

Xuanqing's term lasts another ten thousand years.

He merely needs to smoothly transition the authority during the upcoming period.

Daoist, steady as ever, remarked Xuanqing from the Emperor's Throne with a smile, transmitting the message.

Di Jun replied calmly: "It's not my first time as Heavenly Emperor; I'm long accustomed."

"It's no different than before when I could only govern the gods of Taiwei Constellation, now I can oversee the Three Realms and Ten Thousand Worlds."

His Heavenly Emperor's Tribulation Transfer Scripture was nearing completion of version updates, soon ready for another round of revision.

What's there to panic about?

Moreover, to ensure a smooth succession, he has united many Daoists over a yuanhui, preparing extensively.

With joint administration, he refuses to believe he cannot succeed!

Seeing Di Jun's calm demeanor, Xuanqing nodded slightly.

He gazed across the entire Heavenly Emperor Palace, taking in all the gods' reactions, understanding well.

He spoke slowly, voicing final endorsement for Di Jun's ascension:

"The Taiyang Venerable's talents are witnessed by the Primordial Gods."

"As for his character and future governance strategies, I believe he will act with discretion."

"Moreover, the position of Heavenly Emperor is not unchanging."

"Taiwei Heavenly Court's systems have long established, the Heavenly Emperor is also subject to the oversight of Heavenly Dao and all beings."

"Should he defy the Heavenly Dao or fail the beings, there are mechanisms for correction."

These words both affirmed the Taiyang Venerable and reassured the gods.

It also subtly pointed out the dynamic balance issue between the Taiwei Heavenly Emperor and the Primordial esteemed.

"Understood by all of us!" The gods simultaneously expressed their congratulations to Di Jun.

Xuanqing continued: "My retirement in ten thousand years is not a whim; it's the will of the Taixu Elders and the decision of the Heavenly Dao Council."

"After stepping down, I will continue exploring the true meaning of the Great Dao, delving into the path of Daluo."

"I may retreat for a long period, but there's no need to worry; I won't directly leave Primordial."

"In the future, I will remain part of the Taiwei Heavenly Court, focusing on the development of Primordial, safeguarding this land we all love."

Xuanqing looked toward the gods, speaking earnestly:

"Ten thousand years, neither long nor short."

"I hope everyone remains steadfast in their roles during this time, transitioning smoothly, and not causing unnecessary upheaval as my retirement approaches."

"Upon the ascension of the new Heavenly Emperor, I also hope you all work together harmoniously, assisting him in pioneering a new era."

These words both reassured and entrusted.

The gods were slightly comforted upon hearing these words.

Though the Heavenly Emperor was retiring, he wouldn't depart, which is undeniably good news.

They all bowed deeply in respect: "We will adhere to the teachings of Your Majesty!"

Di Jun stood silently, posture tall as a pine.

He made no immediate statements nor commitments.

At this moment, any words seem hollow.

Only future actions can prove everything.

He will use these ten thousand years to prepare thoroughly for succeeding the Heavenly Emperor position.

Also allow the Primordial gods enough time to adapt to this soon-to-be new ruler.

This is also Xuanqing's intent by proclaiming Di Jun as the "Crown Prince" of the Three Realms at this time.

The aftermath of the grand assembly gradually calmed. The divine beings returned to their Divine Domains and Dao Fields, continuing their daily routines.

The sound of study at the Heavenly Dao Academy remains the most melodious composition in the Three Realms of Primordial, immersing countless beings in the radiance of the Great Dao.

The Da Luo Supremes, after the grand assembly, accelerated their retreat schedules, striving for breakthroughs on the Great Dao.

They anticipate the future might not be tranquil.

The younger generation of deities and immortals diligently performed their duties, contributing their strength to the prosperity of Primordial.

Of course, the inventive divine beings had already cast their gaze toward the newly appointed Crown Prince — Sun Sun Venerable, Di Jun.
