Honghuang: I Give Up the Position of Heavenly Emperor from the Start

Li Yuan transmigrated into the Primordial World. Just as he took form in the chaos, Hongjun discovered him, adopted him as a page, and gave him the name Haotian.

He knew he was a puppet, but with his limited strength, he had no way to resist.

For ages, the Celestial Court had been short on troops and generals, while the disciples of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect refused to show the Heavenly Emperor any respect.

Seeing that the time was right, Hongjun summoned the Six Saints and Haotian to discuss the Investiture of the Gods.

Meanwhile...

Elsewhere, Li Yuan awakened his System.

He would break free of Hongjun, become a Primordial Chaos Demon God, and prove himself supreme on the Great Dao!

He would also establish his roots in the Primordial World. As he grew stronger, the world would grow stronger with him!

Just as Hongjun was about to send a message to Haotian, a voice rang out across the Primordial World:

"I, Haotian, hereby resign as Heavenly Emperor! To settle my karmic debts, I will cripple my own cultivation and Dao foundation, and return everything bestowed upon me by the Dao Ancestor. May the Heavenly Dao bear witness!"

The Saints were stunned.

Some time later,

The Primordial World's power surged higher and higher, and Hongjun could no longer control the Heavenly Dao.

When he looked back, he discovered that his former puppet Haotian had already reached the Great Dao Realm!
