Chapter 694 The True Saint Circle

"Can the chosen sect autonomously select the Child of Calamity?" Pan Xin asked curiously.

Venerable Xuandu shook his head and said, "The Child of Calamity has no fixed fate for now. If we designate one, it will be troublesome to weigh the options. Why not give all living beings a chance? Times create heroes; there is no need to be monopolized by Saint sects as before."

The Saints nodded.

Now that there were many Saints, if they took turns, some would inevitably be ranked extremely low, which was painful to think about.

Venerable Xuandu reminded them, "When the time comes, the Child of Calamity will emerge as the times require. You all may recruit them, but do not force them, and certainly do not threaten them. This is for the good of the Heavenly Dao. Once a Saint schemes, it will inevitably disrupt the balance."

"We have schemed for so long; it is time to strive for our own cultivation. In the future, Heavenly Dao Sages will certainly not be the top existences of the Heavenly Dao. We must keep climbing and always stay ahead of all living beings."

The Saints nodded at these words.

Han Jue did not interject, but he agreed with Venerable Xuandu's perspective.

Internal strife would only consume the progress of the Saint group in becoming stronger.

Regarding the Child of Calamity, Venerable Xuandu said no more. Who would stand out and carve out great Luck was currently unknown.

The Saints began to discuss which Fortune Sect would accept the Child of Calamity.

This was not necessarily a good thing.

Once a Fortune Sect produced the Child of Calamity, it would easily become a target for everyone. Although the Calamity would not be as brutal as before, the Saints did not want the sects they supported to decline.

After much debate, the Saints changed Fortune Sects to races, feeling that choosing Fortune Sects was prone to conflict.

Finally, the Saints chose to decide by vote.

Venerable Xuandu spoke up, "I choose the Heavenly Race."

Shi Duxiao raised his hand in agreement.

Pan Xin followed, saying, "I choose the Ming Clan."

It seemed he had already gained control of the Ming Clan.

Great Emperor Xiao and Jin Shen raised their hands in agreement.

The remaining Saints looked at each other.

Han Jue spoke up, "Let's go with the Human Race."

Li Daokong, Fang Liang, Wu Fa Heavenly Venerate, Sect Master Tianjue, Qiu Xilai, and Huang Zuntian raised their hands in agreement.

South Pole Heavenly Venerate glanced at Sect Master Tianjue but chose to raise his hand anyway.

The result was decided.

Venerable Xuandu remained calm.

Pan Xin looked at Han Jue with surprise. In the previous discussion, Han Jue hadn't said a word, and he had assumed Han Jue didn't want to intervene. He hadn't expected this guy to make a choice directly.

The key was that the vast majority of Saints chose to agree with Han Jue.

He had always thought that Venerable Xuandu had the most say in the Saint circle, but that did not seem to be the case now.

"This kid…"

Pan Xin had to re-evaluate Han Jue.

Han Jue used the System to hide his cultivation at the Heavenly Dao Sage level, but Pan Xin had heard that this guy was already a Free and Unfettered Saint.

Facing Pan Xin's gaze, Han Jue ignored him.

Venerable Xuandu made the final decision: the Child of Calamity would appear within the Human Race.

As for whether it would be a birth or a Reincarnation, that depended on the fortune of the Heavenly Dao.

After the discussion ended, Han Jue stood up and left.

"Little Friend Han, want to chat?" Pan Xin approached and said with a smile.

Little Friend?

Han Jue smiled. Even Venerable Xuandu had to call him Fellow Daoist Han, yet this Pan Xin wanted to take advantage of him.

Qiu Xilai laughed, "Fellow Daoist Pan, mind your words. We are all Saints now; we must speak as equals. If this gets out, wouldn't we Saints become a laughingstock?"

Sect Master Tianjue, Wu Fa Heavenly Venerate, Li Daokong, and others agreed one after another.

Pan Xin's smile stiffened. It was just an unintentional remark, and he hadn't expected to be scrutinized by all the Saints.

Huang Zuntian and Jin Shen understood the situation.

The so-called Saint circle revolved around the Master of the Hidden Gate. As for Pan Xin, he had not yet truly integrated into the Saint circle.

Han Jue said, "Fellow Daoist Pan, I have no intention of participating in the affairs of the Heavenly Dao. If you have any matters, discuss them with the other Saints."

With that, he teleported back to the Hundred Peaks Immortal River.

Sitting back on the thirty-sixth grade samsara world-ending black lotus, Han Jue felt secretly pleased.

This feeling of acting one way to someone's face and another way behind their back was quite satisfying.

No wonder all the Saints were sanctimonious.

As for Pan Xin's intentions, Han Jue couldn't be bothered to consider them.

Pan Xin had changed a lot, but sooner or later, he would return to his original self, recover his old cowardly nature, and start Cultivating in seclusion.

He was truly terrible at playing schemes with the Saints.

Earlier in the Qiankun Hall, Han Jue had been observing Huang Zuntian and found that he didn't seem to be affected by the Primal Chaos.

The coffin of the Primal Chaos was still in the dark Void Realm outside the Underworld, and the hun yuan stele stood motionless. He estimated that apart from Han Jue, no one had discovered that the Primal Chaos had already undergone Fusion with Huang Zuntian.

Han Jue didn't dwell on it and continued to comprehend the Extreme Origin Great Dao.

…

Since the Saints determined that the Child of Calamity would appear within the Human Race, the Luck of the Human Race began to rise. Every Saint sect was intentionally or unintentionally supporting the Human Race. The footprints of the Human Race began to expand, and Human Race cities were built throughout the entire Immortal Realm.

Following this trend, the Human Race would reach an unprecedented peak.

Meanwhile, the Chaos Heavenly Road also began to be recognized by all living beings. Practitioners kept returning, and various accounts of the Chaos began to spread.

The Chaos Heavenly Road still had a threshold: one could not enter unless they were an Immortal Emperor.

There was no way around it; creatures below the Emperor Realm could not survive in the Dark Forbidden Zone.

Years passed by.

Human Race Dynasties sprang up like bamboo shoots after rain. The Human Emperor remained in seclusion all day, delegating the power of the Human Race, which led to more and more kings and emperors appearing.

Wherever there were people, there were conflicts.

There were always some ambitious people who ignored the peace that the Saints had worked so hard to maintain. When various Dynasties constantly expanded their territories and bordered other Dynasties, war was inevitable.

All of this was unknown to Han Jue, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

When the five-thousand-year period arrived, Han Jue slowly opened his eyes.

He could feel that he was getting closer and closer to the Great Dao Realm.

He was increasingly looking forward to the Great Dao Realm.

In a good mood, he began to check his mail.

…

Deep in the Chaos.

A woman in a white dress radiating dazzling light was moving forward. Her face was beautiful and holy, and beneath her skirt was actually a snake tail.

It was Empress Nuwa.

Empress Nuwa held a jade bottle, flying along the way, sprinkling seven-colored divine water from the jade bottle.

Countless meteorites floated in this Domain. When the meteorites were irrigated by the seven-colored divine water, they quickly turned into a continent, and countless flowers and plants sprouted and grew.

The whole process was incredibly magical.

After an unknown amount of time, Empress Nuwa landed on a stone platform, where a man stood in the center, who was none other than Fu Xi Tian.

Fu Xi Tian smiled and said, "Is there a need to be so urgent?"

Empress Nuwa shook her head and said helplessly, "Time waits for no one. We have no idea what is hidden in the Ancient Desolation. I have a premonition that the Great Dao Calamity does not come from some Primordial Chaos Demon God, but from the Ancient Desolation."

Fu Xi Tian frowned and asked, "Do you mean that Teacher lied to us?"

Empress Nuwa did not reply.

Fu Xi Tian's brows furrowed even tighter.

Empress Nuwa changed the subject, "Recently, someone has been trying to break through to the Great Dao Realm. Can you guess who it is?"

Fu Xi Tian pondered, "There are not many practitioners who can reach this level. The most likely one should be Peacock Divine Lord. It is said that he has been chasing a mysterious Chaotic Fiendcelestial recently."

Empress Nuwa shook her head and said, "No, it is Han Jue."
