"I refuse!"

"Alright, then I'll choose someone else."

After Nuwa expressed her stance, Taiyi quickly changed his mind.

This made Nuwa doubt whether the other party was seriously considering this matter!

[Could this guy be deciding the Divine Sect Leader with the thought of 'whether or not there's a jujube, let's beat around first'?]

Since the Twelve Gods of Taiwei have a tradition of being unserious, Nuwa couldn't determine the actual thoughts of the Taiyang Venerable.

However, she also seriously examined Taiyi's proposal for a "Divine Sect Leader" just now.

Even the concept of "Divine Clan" proposed by Taiyi, though bold, was not entirely without merit.

The term "God" indeed incites more recognition and aspiration among all beings than any single Innate Race could.

If they could seize this opportunity to truly establish a "Divine Sect," which transcends racial boundaries and centers on the idea that "all can become gods by pursuing the Great Dao together," and even a Divine Clan.

It would indeed be beneficial to consolidate the rule of the Heavenly Court and the harmonious unity of the entire Primordial World.

However, the difficulty and risks involved are equally immeasurable.

"The Heavenly Emperor's suggestion is undeniably far-reaching, yet, the names 'Divine Clan' and 'Divine Sect,' though seemingly inclusive, also have their hidden concerns." Nuwa pondered for a moment before offering her counsel.

"Firstly, with the Ten Thousand Races standing tall, each has its heritage and pride. How to make them willingly give up parts of their inherent racial identity and submit to a grander yet abstract concept of 'Divine Clan'? This inevitably involves significant interest adjustments and conflicts of the Great Dao."

Nuwa looked seriously at Taiyi and continued, "Secondly, once the Divine Sect is established, what will its doctrines be? What precepts will it hold? How will its organizational structure be? And who will meticulously manage and implement it? These are all matters that require utmost caution."

"Uniting one race with the Ten Thousand Races, a slight mistake could potentially repeat the chaos of the past Shen Ni, bringing new turmoil to the Primordial."

Hearing this, Taiyi's expression turned solemn. He respectfully bowed to Nuwa and said, "The concerns Daoist raised are precisely the key points I wish to discuss with everyone next."

"Regarding the recognition among the Ten Thousand Races, I believe the principle should be 'seeking commonalities while preserving differences, and integrating development.'

"The reason for the vibrancy of the Primordial lies in the contention of its myriad Great Dao and the blooming of a hundred flowers."

"The name 'Divine Clan' is more like a 'crown' symbolizing the shared identity of 'Great Dao seekers.' Wearing this crown, each race remains true to itself, yet gains an additional 'holy mission' of striving for the evolution of the entire Primordial Universe."

Taiyi smiled and said, "Establishing the Divine Clan is not about forcibly erasing the unique heritage and traits of each race."

"Rather, it is under this collective top-level identity of 'Divine Clan' that we encourage each race to leverage its own advantages, learn from each other, and progress together, ultimately forming a 'Primordial Divine Dao Civilization System' that is diverse and unified, harmonious yet different."

"Seeking commonalities while preserving differences, harmonious yet different?" Nuwa's eyebrows slightly furrowed, showing a thoughtful expression.

Kunpeng, Bai Ze, Ao Ming and other Cabinet members were also pondering seriously.

Taiyi continued, "As for the doctrines and precepts of the Divine Sect, I have some ideas for everyone to consider."

"Firstly: Revere Heaven and Earth, adapt to the Grand Changes."

"Heaven and Earth are the legacies of Pangu, the parents of all things. Born and raised here, we ought to harbor reverence, comprehend the profound principle of the operation of Heaven and Earth, conform to the Great Dao, and seek our own path and the way to transcend amidst the birth and death of the Universe and the changes of Epochs."

"Secondly: Trace the Origin, understand the True Self."

"Every being has the potential to nurture a trace of Innate Immortal Spiritual Light. The essence of cultivation lies in continuously sweeping away the acquired dust, breaking through the illusory self, tracing back to the most primordial and purest 'Innate Dao Nature,' eventually attaining the Eternal Immortal 'True Self Divine Format' united with the Dao."

"Thirdly: Universal equality, all can become gods."

"The Three Thousand Great Dao offer infinite vitality. Be it Innate Divine Beings, Postnatal Spirits, flowers, plants, trees, spirits, monsters, or beasts, as long as they aspire to the Great Dao and strive valiantly, accumulating merit, all have hope to ignite the Divine Fire, condense the Divine Status, transcend from extraordinary to saint, attain the Immortal Rank, and even ascend to the Divine Position, coexisting with Heaven and Earth, shining with the Sun and Moon. This is the universal principle, and the grand wish of the Divine Sect."

"Fourthly: Create legacies, deliver the masses through Dao."

"A person who attains the Dao should not only seek personal sanctity but also benefit the world. Any who become gods should use their realized Dao, either to establish sects and propagate Daoist Techniques, continuing the torch of civilization; or to protect creatures in a certain region with Divine Skills, fending off natural and man-made disasters, maintaining universal harmony; or to enlighten the ignorant with Wisdom, spreading Truth, helping future generations embark on the path of cultivation. This is the responsibility of gods, and also the source of merit."

"Fifthly..."

"Sixthly..."

It was evident that Taiyi's ideas for the Divine Sect were not spur-of-the-moment but long-considered.

Now he spoke eloquently, elaborating on the doctrines, precepts, and so on of the Divine Sect, drawing deep reflection from the Cabinet members.

These doctrines, in fact, are quite sound, infused with the unique cosmology, cultivation philosophy, and value orientation of the Primordial World, with core thoughts inclined towards goodness.

They are more easily understood and accepted by the Innate Divine Beings, various major races, and countless beings.

"And as for this position of Divine Sect Leader—"

Taiyi shifted his focus back to Nuwa:

"After much thought, looking across the entire Primordial, I still find Nuwa Daoist to be more suitable."

"With Daoist's capability, leading the multitude of gods and educating the masses, you are well-deserved!"

Taiyi spoke these words with genuine emotion.

Kunpeng, Bai Ze, and other Cabinet members nodded in agreement with Taiyi's conception, earnestly requesting Nuwa to prioritize the overall situation of the Primordial and assume the position of Divine Sect Leader.
