Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 487 - 480 Distribution of the Nine Heavens

Ding Huan remained silent, as the selfish nature of the Human Tribe had existed for a long time and couldn't be changed by a single individual.

"At that time, the Nine Heavens shattered, and the Taoist Ancestor of the Nine Heavens and several Saints brought a group of people to the Pangu Great World..."

"Wait..."

Ding Huan interrupted Emperor Xing Pan, "You said the Nine Heavens' Taoist Ancestor came? Where are they now?"

Emperor Xing Pan laughed self-deprecatingly, "They stayed here for a while and then left. I don't know the reason, but it's said that it's because the Pangu Great World isn't truly a realm of the Great Dao."

"Emperor Xing Pan, can you tell me how the Taoist Ancestor came here and where they went later, what they did here?"

Ding Huan's interest in the theft of the Heavenly Emperor's Position by Emperor Xing Pan was evidently less than his interest in the whereabouts of the Taoist Ancestor.

Emperor Xing Pan looked at Ding Huan with uncertainty but still said, "They came here using the Cosmic Position Disk."

"What is the Cosmic Position Disk?" Ding Huan quickly asked.

He was aware of the Cosmic Position Disk, as Lao Liu had once mentioned it to him.

But Lao Liu had limited knowledge and really had no idea what the Cosmic Position Disk was.

Ding Huan knew that if even Emperor Xing Pan didn't know the past events connected with it, then it would be difficult for him to find the answers.

"It is said to be an artifact of creation forged by the Taoist Ancestor fused with the remnants of the shattered Nine Heavens."

"How badly shattered was the Nine Heavens then?" Ding Huan hastily inquired.

After pondering for a moment, Emperor Xing Pan responded, "It's said that only the Fourth Layer Heaven remains. The First and Second Layer Heavens, which are part of the Mortal Realm, have shattered, and the Triple Heaven, having broken rules, was also abandoned.

The fourth and fifth layers, with fragmented Dao Rhythm and incomplete Immortal Spiritual Energy rules, were likewise abandoned, leaving only the intact Fourth Layer Heaven."

Ding Huan formed a vague outline in his mind.

If he wasn't mistaken, the universe where Earth was located should be formed from the shattered First and Second Layer Heavens.

The Triple Heaven Star Land and the peripheral star systems should be what formed from the shattered Triple Heaven.

As for the Fourth Immortal Domain, the Fifth Immortal Domain, including all the surrounding star systems, they must have been created from the shattered Fourth and Fifth Layer Heavens.

The remaining Fourth Layer Heaven then left this spatial plane along with the Daoist's Magical Treasure.

The Daoist controlled the Cosmic Position Disk and came to the Pangu Great World, and was originally supposed to stay.

Perhaps the Taoist Ancestor or someone else sensed that the Pangu Great World would eventually share the same fate as the Nine Heavens, which is why after coming here, they abandoned this place and continued on.

The great likelihood of their continued journey was to find the third part of the Chaos World's original separation.

Originally, the Chaos World was split into three parts, one part became the Nine Heavens, the second part became the Pangu Great World, and the third part vanished.

It was normal for the Taoist Ancestor to search for the third part.

Of course, there's another possibility that the Taoist Ancestor, along with many powerful beings, discovered a universe far superior to the Nine Heavens, and they went there.

"Do you know what the position in the Cosmic Position Disk is? Do you need to have a position to get onto this disk?" Ding Huan thought of what Lao Liu had said.

This time, Emperor Xing Pan answered very succinctly, "I don't know."

Ding Huan understood, which meant there were some veiled aspects. When the Taoist Ancestor and others passed through the Pangu Great World, they only made a brief stop and didn't reveal much else.

"Please continue," Ding Huan didn't ask further, as the Cosmic Position Disk was mysterious, and even a Great Emperor like Emperor Xing Pan could only know its superficial aspects.

Emperor Xing Pan, uncertain of Ding Huan's intentions, continued:

"The Nine Heavens Taoist Ancestor, who mastered creation and possessed unmatched power, and I, about to become the Heavenly Emperor, requested that the Taoist Ancestor restore the order in the Pangu Great World..."

Ding Huan understood Emperor Xing Pan's intention, which was to hope the Taoist Ancestor could restore the leading position of the Human Tribe and drive away or scatter the other races.

However, Ding Huan was sure that such words from Emperor Xing Pan were pointless; the Taoist Ancestor definitely wouldn't do so.

As expected, Emperor Xing Pan sighed, "The Taoist Ancestor said, 'All beings are equal, and existence is justified...Ah...'"

Ding Huan chuckled inwardly. Equal for all beings?

Why then, when the First and Second Layer Heaven shattered, was everyone fighting over a spot on the Cosmic Position Disk?

Beyond the last four heavens, how many lives were lost during the cosmic fragmentation and cycles in the first five heavens? There was no equality at that time.

Although Ding Huan had always been searching for the whereabouts of the Cosmic Position Disk, and tracing the ancient mythological figures of Earth, he was very clear that whether immortals or humans, everyone lives for themselves.

All this talk of compassion for the world and equality among all beings hinges on the existence of one's own path.

"Before leaving, the Daoist appointed Emperor Wushang as the Heavenly Emperor, but he isn't a cultivator from the Pangu Great World..."

Ding Huan was startled, then asked, "Emperor Xing Pan, are you saying Emperor Wushang is from the Cosmic Position Disk?"

Ding Huan hadn't expected that Emperor Wushang was also from the Nine Heavens.

Emperor Xing Pan nodded. "Yes, Emperor Wushang was originally one of the Taoist Ancestor's followers, left behind to serve as the Heavenly Emperor."

"You must feel somewhat resentful," Ding Huan remarked.

He didn't care about such matters; the position of the Heavenly Emperor, anyone could fill it. Emperor Wushang had a powerful backing, so it was only natural for him to occupy it.

There was no rule saying that someone from the Pangu Great World must hold the position of Heavenly Emperor.

Emperor Xing Pan shook his head, "No, I'm not resentful. I just think that since the Taoist Ancestor doesn't manage the division of the Pangu Great World, we, the Human Tribe who have always lived here, should."

"We should not separate the Immortal Court and the Great Immortal Domain, and we should also strive to reintegrate the territories of the other major races back into the Pangu Great World."

"However, Emperor Wushang and others disagree with me and even say that my bloodline includes that of the Witch Clan, which is also an alien race..."

Even Ding Huan could sense Emperor Xing Pan's resentment.

Ding Huan patted Emperor Xing Pan's shoulder helplessly, "Let it go. I think the Taoist Ancestor is right; if it exists, it is justified."

"Even if you become the Heavenly Emperor and have all the major races under the control of the Human Tribe, can you be sure that you will always be in the position of Heavenly Emperor?"

"Besides, can you always keep the situation under control? And if one day you disappear like the previous emperor, could you still control the direction of the Pangu Great World?"

Emperor Xing Pan took a deep breath, "I know, I've thought about it more than once and have comforted myself, but I just can't let it go."

Ding Huan said lightly, "Just do your best. Even if you achieve your ideas, unify the Pangu Great World, who will be grateful to you?"

"And, even if you accomplish this, will the Human Tribe necessarily live better than now?"

"Survival of the fittest. If one day the Human Tribe becomes powerful enough that expansion is necessary, inevitably, the Human Tribe will once again dominate over other races."

Emperor Xing Pan fell silent.

Ding Huan didn't feel like persuading him further. He was thinking about whether to help Emperor Xing Pan heal his injuries before leaving when the Communication Bead suddenly lit up.

Ding Huan focused his Divine Will on the Communication Bead, and Helian Audong's urgent voice came through, "Ding Huan, do not come to the Immortal Court; Emperor Wushang knows you are Lu Renjia..."

Emperor Wushang knows he is Lu Renjia? How had it been exposed?

Ding Huan quickly realized where the leak had occurred when he and Lu Busi headed to Heavenly Street, then without altering his appearance, went to the Pangu Taoist College to teach...

He was later dismissed and advised by Helian Audong to leave Heavenly Street.

That was the issue.

After leaving Heavenly Street, he didn't go far but transformed his appearance and went to the Immortal Court Square instead.

It seemed Emperor Wushang had put a lot of effort into finding him.

He must have checked all the Monitoring Arrays around both Heavenly Street and the outskirts of the Immortal Court Square, concluding that his disappearance, Ding Huan's, was quite bizarre.

After he disappeared, Lu Renjia emerged and entered the Immortal Agriculture Department to plant Immortal Spirit Rice.

Considering Ding Huan's proficiency in the Five Elements Law, he was the most suitable person for planting Immortal Spirit Rice.

At this point in the investigation, even if Emperor Wushang was a fool, he would conclude that Ding Huan was Lu Renjia, one of the people the Heavenly Emperor was seeking.

Ding Huan frowned.

Emperor Wushang's cultivation was absolutely very strong, possibly even close to that of a Quasi-Saint.

Now that Emperor Wushang knew Ding Huan was Lu Renjia, he would undoubtedly come seeking him to plant the Immortal Spirit Rice.

This was why he couldn't go to the Immortal Court; even the Great Immortal Domain was not safe.

Despite the Great Immortal Domain currently being ravaged by various races, stopping an Immortal Emperor searching for someone here was not possible.

As for the Chaos Zone, aside from some races already emerging to seek places to reside, Emperor Wushang would also have people watching it.
