[Alas, Innate Holy Ones, none of them are simple!]
Taiyi sighed inwardly.
He knew that persuading the Yaochi Golden Mother to willingly take on the role of "Divine Sect Leader" would probably be even more difficult than having her voluntarily relinquish control of West Kunlun.
Thus, Taiyi no longer insisted.
After that, he engaged in a round of "friendly and constructive" exchange with Yaochi.
And he cleverly hinted that "in the future, positions of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors of the Divine Clan will be open, welcoming all virtuous and talented individuals to strive for them."
Then, Taiyi took his leave.
On his way back to the Heavenly Court, he thoughtfully considered the possibility of bringing back Emperor Donghua.
[To cooperate with Emperor Donghua, two things need to be considered right now: first, his resurrection, and second, confirming his willingness to cooperate; otherwise, the effort will be wasted.]
Emperor Donghua fell at the hands of Demon Sect Leader [Lord Void Emperor] during the battle at Buzhou Mountain.
However, it cannot be denied that he indeed possessed great talent and vision, diligently fulfilling his duties in the position of Immortal Emperor, and he could be considered for the role of Divine Sect Leader or one of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors of the Divine Clan.
"It seems a Taiwei convention needs to be convened. First, seek help from Jing Yao Daoist and see if Emperor Donghua can be brought back."
Taiyi pondered over and decided to assist Donghua.
He didn't go to Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad.
After all, rescuing someone was a specialty of the Taiwei Gods.
"Besides, how could Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad be more reliable than our [Purple Qi Jing Yao Venerable] of the Taiwei Constellation?"
Of course, Taiyi was also aware that the position of "Sect Leader" was unlikely to be settled in the short term.
The urgent matter was to steadily promote the great mission of "unifying acquired characters" first.
After all, this truly was the millennial endeavor capable of benefiting all beings, consolidating consensus, and providing a solid foundation for the establishment of both "Divine Sect" and "Divine Clan."
~~~~~
On the other side, Kunpeng, who had long been entrusted with the important task of "unifying acquired characters," had already been acting promptly and vigorously.
Kunpeng deeply understood that this matter not only concerned the trust and charge of the Emperor of Heaven but was also a great affair capable of granting immense merit and eternal fame.
If he could execute this beautifully, his future status within the Heavenly Court and his reputation across the entire Primordial World would receive an immeasurable and significant boost.
[By that time, my title of "Heavenly Master" would truly be well-deserved!]
[Would my Peng Flavor Barbecue Shop even lack business then?]
[Hmph, just wait, everything I lost will return to my embrace doubled!]
As a reserve Heavenly Soldier and Heavenly General, and a newly established mentor for basic martial training and Daoist practice initiation, Kunpeng had ventured far in the domain of Daoist education.
If the task of unifying acquired characters was accomplished, he would definitely advance further on the Great Dao!
"If I could spur the unification of acquired characters, allowing all generations to use the characters I create, could I, through the Literature Dao, achieve sainthood, break through the Taiyi Da Luo, and become a Sect Leader?"
Thinking of this, Kunpeng's eyes grew increasingly bright.
With no hesitation or slackness, he immediately shouldered the weighty "Task of Creating Characters" and embarked on his long and arduous journey of "unifying and creating characters."
First, Kunpeng fully utilized his convenience as a core member of the Heavenly Dao Committee and the authority granted to him by the Emperor of Heaven for "special powers," to peruse the detailed records and evolutionary history of all the acquired characters created and used by various eras, races, and civilizations of the Primordial World since the Creation of Heaven and Earth, stored within the Taiwei Heavenly Court.
These records were vast as the sea and extremely diverse.
Some characters had long vanished into the River of Time with the extinction of their races; some were overly obscure and were circulated in very limited areas; and some even triggered disastrous wars due to the conflicting Daoist philosophies they carried.
Kunpeng locked himself within the "Myriad Text Pavilion" of the Heavenly Court, working tirelessly with countless avatars, expending great mental effort to preliminarily organize, summarize, and analyze these precious character records, developing a rather clear understanding of the current state and issues of acquired characters throughout the Primordial Universe.
Following that, Kunpeng did not rush to "build behind closed doors," fabricating an entirely new unified character out of thin air.
He understood deeply that the creation and evolution of characters have always been a gradual process.
Characters must be deeply rooted in the soil of the civilizations and beings they serve, capable of accurately conveying their unique Daoist philosophies and cultural essence.
Otherwise, they become water without a source, wood without roots, unable to be perpetuated.
Thus, Kunpeng made a very significant decision—he would personally travel across the Primordial True Realm, exploring All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds!
Only by going deep into every race and Dao lineage with unique civilization heritage and on-site investigating their language habits, studying their character structures, appreciating their Great Dao essence, and experiencing their cultural customs.
He would act like the most devout scholar, listening to each race's voice, understanding each civilization's demands, and respecting the history and emotions carried by each character.
Thereupon, after thoroughly reporting his plan to Heavenly Emperor Taiyi and gaining the emperor's full support and corresponding authorization, Kunpeng turned into an inconspicuous streak of light and quietly departed from the majestic Taiwei Heavenly Court, commencing his lengthy yet filled with unknowns "world textual survey journey."
