"Pfft! The North Star Human Race was dumbstruck by Yu the Great's words!"
"Bullshit, if I were from the North Star Human Race and heard Yu the Great say that, I'd be too astonished to speak too!"
"Yeah! Weren't we all stupefied when the Lizard Empire attacked?! It's normal for them to look bewildered!"
"Hehe, I think the North Star Human Race can join the Heavenly Court, with the Primordial Human Clan big brother looking after them. Not to mention walking sideways, at least they won't be marginalized.
Life is definitely better than in North Star!"
"Indeed! When you find a big leg to cling to, you must hold on tight and never let go!"
"..."
The real world.
The Yanhuang populace, upon witnessing this scene, all revealed knowing smiles.
Such a scene felt familiar to them, resonating with their past experiences.
Primordial Starry Sky.
The North Star Human Race powerhouses, after their brief shock, finally made their decision.
"Ziwei Heavenly Venerate, we are willing to lead the entire North Star Human Race to join the Heavenly Court and become a part of it!"
"Exactly! We are all Human Race, sharing the same origin, and it makes sense to struggle together!"
"Heavenly Court? The Heavenly Court? Just what kind of existence is it?"
"So looking forward to it!"
"..."
Ziwei Heavenly Venerate Yu the Great looked at the discussion among the North Star Human Race powerhouses and smiled gently, saying, "What you said is correct, as fellow members of the Human Race, sharing the same root and origin, we should indeed struggle together!"
"Later, I will take you to meet His Majesty in the Heavenly Court!"
"The branches of the Human Race from yesterday, His Majesty will not skimp on the rewards for you!"
Although Ziwei Heavenly Venerate holds a high position and significant power in the Heavenly Court and can decide on some matters without the Emperor Huang, he dared not lightly make any promises to the North Star Human Race considering their uniqueness.
But given Emperor Huang's character, after the North Star Human Race joins the Heavenly Court, the rewards and authority they receive will definitely not be trivial.
So, by extending convenience to them now, he is also forging a good relationship.
After all, they will have to serve as officials in the Heavenly Court in the future, and it is proper to support one another.
"Many thanks, Ziwei Heavenly Venerate!"
The supreme members of the North Star Human Race bowed in thanks to Yu the Great.
Their pledge of loyalty has been made.
What comes next?
We'll see after arriving at the Heavenly Court!
Ziwei Heavenly Venerate Yu the Great nodded at them and said, "Please wait a moment!" After speaking, he turned his head to address Taiyi and Houtu beside him:
"My fellow Daoists, the resistance here has been suppressed; we can begin now!"
Taiyi and Houtu nodded upon hearing this and said, "Then let's start!"
"Good!"
Yu the Great nodded.
Then, the three of them stirred the Tao, transforming into Order Chains that pierced through the Great Array of the Starry Sky and invoked the descent of the Heavenly Court's master.
"You have done well!"
After the Heavenly Emperor's Law manifestation descended, he nodded at Taiyi and the others to acknowledge their merits.
Then, he looked towards the Primordial Starry Sky.
"The Primordial Starry Sky shall be divided into East, South, West, and North."
"Each direction with seven Star Constellations, totaling Twenty-Eight Star Constellations!"
"East for the Azure Dragon's seven, South for the Vermilion Bird's seven, West for the White Tiger's seven, North for the Xuanwu's seven!"
"The Heavenly Court shall establish Star Lords for the Four Directions!"
"As Azure Dragon Star Lord, White Tiger Star Lord, Vermilion Bird Star Lord, Xuanwu Star Lord!"
"Under Ziwei Heavenly Venerate!"
"..."
Emperor Huang's vast voice kept resounding, spreading throughout the entire Starry Sky and Primordial Heaven and Earth with lightning speed, drawing the attention of countless living beings.
The Primordial Starry Sky was divided into four directions by Emperor Huang using the Heavenly Emperor's Law, centered around the Heavenly Court, forming four Star Constellations.
The seven main stars of the East, Horn, Neck, Root, Room, Heart, Tail, Basket, formed the shape of an Azure Dragon, as the Eastern Azure Dragon Seven Star Constellations;
The seven main stars of the North, Dipper, Ox, Girl, Emptiness, Danger, Chamber, Wall, formed intertwined shapes of a turtle and snake, as the Northern Xuanwu Seven Star Constellations;
The seven main stars of the West, Legs, Bond, Stomach, Hairy Head, Net, Turtle Beak, Three Stars, formed the shape of a tiger, as the Western White Tiger Seven Star Constellations;
The seven main stars of the South, Well, Ghost, Willow, Star, Extended Net, Wings, Chariot, formed the shape of a bird, as the Southern Vermilion Bird Seven Star Constellations.
The supreme members of the North Star Human Race, after joining the Heavenly Court, were all sealed by Emperor Huang as Star Lords.
Among them, the Star Lords of the Four Directions were directly infused with the order of the Heavenly Court, their Cultivation skyrocketing like a rocket, rapidly escalating.
In just the blink of an eye, their aura surged a great deal.
Their Cultivation leaped directly across Heavenly Dao Realm and stepped into the Chaos Realm.
The rest of the Star Constellations also saw advancements in Cultivation, with the least advanced reaching the Half-step Heavenly Dao Realm.
"Hisss!"
"The privileges of being named by the Heavenly Court are incredible, it's too terrifying!"
"Cultivation leaping across several realms! The Star Lords of the Four Directions have directly stepped into the Chaos Realm! Frightening!"
"After entering the Saint Realm where every step is ascension, one couldn't expect to rise so much after being rewarded by the Heavenly Court.
If I had known it would be like this, I would have joined too!"
"The increase in Cultivation is secondary; the truly terrifying thing is the Heavenly Court's Eternal Life Dao!"
"Indeed! We are still troubled by the quest for Eternal Life!"
"..."
As the four mighty beings of the North Star Human Race joined the Heavenly Court and were named as the Star Lords of the Four Directions, stepping directly into the level of the Chaos Realm, countless powerhouses watched with longing.
They once had the chance to join the Heavenly Court established by Emperor Huang.
Regrettably, a momentary decision led to the missed opportunity to join the Heavenly Court.
Otherwise, they too would have become the object of others' envy.
Now, they are filled with ceaseless regret, wishing they could slap themselves hard.
Why did they act so high and mighty at the beginning?
Why did they reject Emperor Huang's invitation?
Why did they choose freedom over cooperation?
Alas!
Such regret for past mistakes!
Primordial Starry Sky!
Emperor Huang's investitures did not cease.
With a lift of his right hand, a radiant light sparkled, and the Hong Meng Sealing God List materialized.
"Decree!"
With merely two words, the order of Heavenly Court once again shook, transforming into the Sealing God Golden Pen, grasped in Emperor Huang's hand!
"Heavenly Court..."
"Shall have the Starry Sky Fleet!"
As Emperor Huang inscribed the spoken words onto the Hong Meng Sealing God List, the laws of the Heavenly Court's order manifested one after another, spreading as intangible rules to every corner of the primordial lands.
"Decree!"
"The Master of Machinery shall serve as the Heavenly Court's Mechanical General, commanding the Heavenly Court's Mechanical Army!"
As Emperor Huang completed his writing with the Sealing God Golden Pen, the Master of Machinery and the members of the Mechanical Clan who had entered the Primordial Heaven and Earth, were all enveloped by the rules of the Heavenly Court's order.
In an instant!
The mechanical shells around the members of the Mechanical Clan burst into strange patterns and a dim glow, their Origin Energy growing several folds, as if fortified.
The Mechanical Dao manifested in the void, turning into myriad rules and orders that infused into the minds of the Mechanical Clan's members.
Boom!
It was but a moment's effort.
The cultivation of all members of the Mechanical Clan shot upwards rapidly, some advancing one level, others transcending two.
Among them, the Master of Machinery's strength increased the most, soaring directly to the late stages of the Chaos Realm.
Click, click, click!
Before he even had time to revel in the exhilaration of his increased power, his metallic body underwent a bizarre transformation and became liquid.
With this boon, his life form changed once more, nearly stepping into a fully matured state.
"Is this what it's like to be in the late Chaos Realm?"
"So powerful!"
"I am now both machinery and mechanics!"
"Though not fully matured, the machinery has already turned liquid!"
"Only a single step away from full maturity!"
The Master of Machinery shone with a radiant light, his form flickering between mechanical and liquid states, his aura shifting constantly, making it hard to grasp the true extent of his power.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After playing with his transformations for a bit, the Master of Machinery respectfully flew before Emperor Huang and knelt down reverently.
Previously, he had refused to join the Heavenly Court because he did not want to be bound by it, but after seeing the growth in strength of the Beidou Human Race following their allegiance to Heavenly Court, he decisively contacted Ziwei Heavenly Venerable Yu the Great, expressing the Mechanical Clan's willingness to join the Heavenly Court and follow the arrangements of the Heavenly Emperor.
Naturally, Yu the Great wouldn't refuse and conveyed the Master of Machinery's wishes to Emperor Huang through Secret Technique Divine Power, resulting in the aforementioned investiture scene.
Otherwise, Emperor Huang would not have bothered with this small fry!
"Rise!"
Emperor Huang gestured with his hand.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The Master of Machinery no longer displayed any arrogance and respectfully got up, standing aside to wait for Emperor Huang's instructions.
However, after Emperor Huang bade him rise, he ceased to pay attention to him and instead turned to look at Yan, Houtu, and Taiyi, saying, "This matter here is settled, later you arrange everything here and take them back to Heavenly Court!"
"Yes!"
Yu the Great and the others nodded.
Emperor Huang nodded, his divine presence slowly fading, vanishing into the void without leaving a trace.
Yu the Great glanced at the Master of Machinery standing aside and warned, "Now that you are the Divine General of the Heavenly Court Mechanical Warship Fleet, do not behave as arrogantly and haughtily as before, prioritize the Heavenly Court above all else..."
Although the Master of Machinery had joined the Heavenly Court and was invested by Emperor Huang as the general of the Mechanical Warship Fleet, Yu the Great didn't hold him in high regard.
Thus, after Emperor Huang departed, Yu the Great specifically "warned" the Master of Machinery as a precaution against any violations or disorderly conduct once in Heavenly Court.
The Master of Machinery nodded, his expression not showing any discontent:
"Thank you for the guidance, Ziwei Heavenly Venerable, the Machine has taken note!"
Had he not witnessed Emperor Huang's might, he would never have accepted Yu the Great's scolding.
But having seen Emperor Huang confer titles upon the Twenty-Eight Star Constellations, his reverence for Heavenly Court had already surpassed that for Pangu of old, daring not to harbor any rebellious thoughts.
Even without Yu the Great's warning, he would have kept a low profile!
As long as Emperor Huang remained in Heavenly Court, he wouldn't dare to entertain any other ideas.
Yu the Great was pleased with the Master of Machinery's attitude, nodded and said, "What needed to be said has been said, and what didn't need to be said has also been said!
Afterwards, it's up to you and the Mechanical Clan.
If you do not wish for the Mechanical Clan to be extinguished, restrain any wayward thoughts!
Otherwise, no one will be able to save you!"
Yu the Great warned the Master of Machinery once more, then turned to Taiyi and Houtu and said, "My fellows, I'll take my leave first! The rest is up to you!" With that, his figure slowly faded, disappearing into the Primordial Starry Sky.
