Even if Ying Zheng forcibly strengthened his Dao heart, he still had to exert effort to break free from this alluring and boundless realm of perception.

Thinking of Li Yiheng, that audacious brat, Ying Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "That fool Yiheng made such a promise probably because he was afraid of disappointing me and didn't want to miss out on the throne. But he'll face a difficult situation from now on. That's a promise to humanity. If he doesn't keep it, at best he'll suffer a backlash from humanity and fall from the throne, at worst he'll be suppressed by humanity and never recover!"

But Ying Zheng soon realized that Nuwa wouldn't care about such trivial matters.

Perhaps she was still shaken by Li Yiheng's declaration, which reminded her of their original plan to establish the Demon Path, devour the Human Path, transform all living beings into demons, and then plot against the Earthly Path and the Heavenly Path.

Ying Zheng helplessly comforted him: "You just love to overthink things. Doing something so crazy once is enough. How could I be as young and impetuous as I was back then? I've already abandoned that plan."

Hearing this, Nuwa breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you've let it go. I was worried that you would be as stubborn as Di Jun. If you were to carry out that plan now, you would surely die without a burial place. That plan offended too many Primordial Dao Lords, and even the Dao Ancestor would intervene to stop it."

How could Ying Zheng not know what Nuwa had said? The myriad realms of the present world are completely different from those of the primordial era.

In the primordial world, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun suppressed all living beings, using the Heavenly Dao to balance all beings. Only seven saints could achieve the Hunyuan realm.

Now that the Dao Ancestor Hongjun is no longer suppressing the myriad realms, and many powerful beings have risen up, trying to implement that plan again would be tantamount to courting death.

This is also why Ying Zheng directly rejected Di Jun and Tai Yi after they were revived, fearing that the two would continue to carry out that plan without knowing their own mortality.

It should be noted that when the primordial world was destroyed, apart from Dao Ancestor Hongjun's attempt to take back the Dao Fruit, the Demon Emperor Jun's plan was the fuse.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng frowned slightly: "No, I still have to go back and give that brat Li Yiheng a good warning. Even if he makes a promise, we can still negotiate. If all else fails, we'll find someone else to succeed to the throne and sever the connection between us."

Immediately, Ying Zheng separated a spiritual body, using the traces left behind within the Fire Cloud Great World to transform it into an avatar.

As the power of the Primordial Dao flowed, the avatar that was formed silently appeared in the world.

Entering the cave of the current Emperor Li Yiheng, one finds that this place was originally covered by many restrictions set up by Ying Zheng when he was Fuxi.

Although Li Yiheng made some minor changes, they were not a big deal.

The moment Ying Zheng's figure appeared, Li Yiheng sensed it using the power of humanity: "Master, you arrived so quickly!"

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng said irritably, "Don't you know why I came so quickly? How could such a promise be made so easily? Do you know what those words meant back then?"

Li Yiheng sighed helplessly: "Of course I know. It is precisely because I understand that I can inherit the throne of the Heavenly Emperor. Otherwise, I will always be just a Great Luo, and besides, I do not want to disappoint my master."

Ying Zheng directly isolated humanity from the world through the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos, and even asked Nuwa for help; otherwise, it would have been extremely difficult to deceive humanity.

After doing all this, Ying Zheng sighed solemnly, "Alas, it's too late to say anything now. Since you've made a promise, you must keep it. Otherwise, the backlash from humanity will be enough for you to suffer."

"However, there is ultimately a gap between ideals and practice. While you try your best to navigate with humanity, you need to grasp the appropriate balance yourself. Although your uncle and I have helped you cover up your movements, it is inevitable that some people with ulterior motives will notice, especially those two you have met before!" Ying Zheng said meaningfully at this moment.

"Does Master refer to the Demon Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi?" Li Yiheng asked with a curious expression.

"It was them. Now that you are the Emperor of Humanity, you should have investigated the ancient history of humanity and know that the turmoil in humanity in the past was caused by the demonic path that I and they founded." Ying Zheng's face was full of vicissitudes, and his eyes were filled with endless melancholy. His words were full of deep sorrow.

"Come and witness it for yourself!" With that, Ying Zheng pointed a finger, directly connecting with Li Yiheng's Star God and taking him back to the primordial era of the previous age!

At this moment, Li Yiheng witnessed the scene of Di Jun, Tai Yi, Xi He, Fu Xi, and Nuwa establishing the demon race and setting up the demon court.

From then on, Di Jun was called the Demon Emperor, Taiyi was called the Eastern Emperor, Fuxi was called the Emperor Xi, Xihe was called the Demon Queen, and Nuwa was called the Empress Nuwa. This is also the origin of their original Taoist titles.

At this moment, an extremely grand plan was born, and a crazy idea surged in Di Jun's mind.

The goal is to use the demonic path to devour all living beings under heaven, integrate into the demonic path to subvert the human path, and completely become a special path on par with heaven, earth, and humanity.

They even later conceived the idea of ​​using demonic methods to devour the earthly and heavenly paths, and put it into practice.

This led to Hongjun Daozu taking action to suppress them, and instead supporting the Wu Clan to start the Wu-Demon War, which ignited continuous warfare.

Nuwa, being a disciple of Hongjun Daozu, was subtly excluded from the core circle by Dijun, Taiyi, and Xihe.

This angered Nuwa, who returned to Phoenix Perch Mountain and even conceived the idea of ​​creating the human race and seizing human authority. Ultimately, she used the Way of Creation to create the Primordial Saint.

Meanwhile, his master, Xi Huang Fu Xi, was torn between his brother and sister.

After the war between the Lich King and the Demon King, the world was nearly destroyed, and the Demon Emperor Jun perished, but everything continued.

The scene ended there, and what happened afterward was beyond his current knowledge. The collapse of the primordial world was a great cause and effect.

Only a very few of the many Primordial Dao Masters know this now, and the newly rising ones have no way of knowing it at all.

Everything from back then has long been erased from the endless river of time by Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Yangmei Ancestor.

Then Ying Zheng gazed at Li Yiheng and instructed him, "Now you should understand how insane their ideas are. The moment they were resurrected, I severed ties with them. Now that you have made such a promise, it has touched them, and they will surely sense it. They will definitely come looking for you. If Di Jun does not abandon his plan, you will become his enemy on the path to immortality!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yiheng smiled bitterly and said, "Master is setting me up for failure. Although the Demon Emperor Jun is not a Dao Ancestor at the Hunyuan Wuji realm, he is definitely a top-tier Dao Lord. Even I might not be able to defeat him now, let alone the Primordial Dao Ancestor Donghuang Taiyi behind him!"

"What is there to fear? Don't you still have your master backing you up? They wouldn't dare to make a forceful move. Besides, you only need to play along. As long as you don't infringe on their interests, they won't target a junior like you," Ying Zheng said calmly.

After thinking for a moment, Li Yiheng felt that this was indeed the case, since he was not without support.

Now that their master has returned to the position of the Primordial Dao Master, and with his profound foundation, he is estimated to be able to put up a fight even against Kong Xuan!
Moreover, with the Demon Emperor Jun in charge and Donghuang Taiyi being watched over by Nuwa, they can't say they're completely at ease, but they do feel somewhat reassured.

"Alright, I'll take my leave now. You should carefully comprehend the Primordial Eight Trigrams Dao Fruit within the Emperor's Throne. This is the culmination of my life's work; do not let it down, and be sure to carry it forward!"

After saying that, Ying Zheng's figure vanished in an instant.

However, Li Yiheng understood from the sentimentality conveyed in Ying Zheng's words that his master had not completely relinquished his identity as Fuxi.

The deeper he comprehended the Dao Fruit of Hunyuan Bagua, the more he could appreciate the grand meaning of this Dao Fruit, which greatly aided in the deduction of celestial secrets.

That makes sense, as the Eight Trigrams Primordial Dao Fruit was originally evolved by Master using the Heavenly Treasure, the River Luo Book.

Just as Li Yiheng was immersed in the Dao Fruit of Hunyuan Bagua, a faint sigh suddenly echoed in this space: "I never thought that the little guy who followed Fuxi back then would have the opportunity to inherit the throne of the Heavenly Emperor!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yiheng instantly opened his eyes and looked at the magnificent figure before him, exuding an air of arrogance and unparalleled dominance. It was none other than the Demon Emperor Jun: "Fellow Daoist Demon Emperor, is it not somewhat impolite of you to come uninvited?"

I had just spoken with my master about the Demon Emperor Jun, and he's already come knocking on our door so quickly. He truly lives up to his title as the Demon Emperor.

Emperor Jun, the Demon Emperor, looked at Li Yiheng with a calm expression, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes: "I simply have important matters to discuss with the Emperor, which are not convenient for outsiders to know." How could such an ordinary person make such a declaration?

But the causal connection in the unseen world is never wrong; it is his path, and no one can tamper with it.

“Fellow Daoist, perhaps we can form a temporary alliance based on the promise you made when you ascended the throne. After all, the myriad paths of the heavens are extremely powerful, and they won’t take you seriously just because of your status as the Emperor!” Emperor Jun, the Demon Emperor, suddenly spoke tentatively.

Upon hearing this, Li Yiheng's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he too exuded an overwhelming aura, like an unparalleled emperor practicing the Great Dao: "No need. Forming an alliance with you would draw too much attention to me. Right now, I'm hiding in the glory of my master and the Nuwa Palace, and I don't want to become a rat that everyone wants to kill!"

Hearing Li Yiheng's meaningful words, Emperor Jun, with his temperament and self-cultivation, did not get angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "I see..."

Then he turned and left. Watching the departing figure of the Demon Emperor Jun, Li Yiheng was somewhat bewildered. What exactly had he realized?
Although he was puzzled, Li Yiheng knew that the mission was completed, so he did not delve into it further.

After all, getting involved with a powerful and ruthless figure like Emperor Jun of the Demon Emperor was far too troublesome.

At this time, after leaving, Ying Zheng created countless clones, using his divine sense to construct numerous avatars to continue carrying out his past missions.

Although he had already become the Lord of the Primordial Dao, for Ying Zheng, everything was just beginning.

Next, he set his sights on the position of the Primordial Chaos Dao Ancestor. Reaching this level is by no means easy.
It requires a massive supply of resources to sustain its own primordial path, enabling it to continue to refine and transform until it reaches a point where further progress is impossible before achieving sublimation.

The resources and time required for this were terrifying; Ying Zheng was prepared for a long struggle.

Moreover, at this point, even Nuwa could not provide much support, and from now on, everything would depend on oneself.

At this moment, Ying Zheng is walking in a vast world, aided by the world markers possessed by the Main God Space.

They are analyzing the rules and laws contained in this vast world, and integrating their subtleties into the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos.

Suddenly, Ying Zheng's expression changed slightly, and he gazed intently into the void.

Here, he sensed that his connection with the Main God Space had been severed, and that he was cut off from any further exploration.

The void transforms into an endless stream of data; in such a situation, the Primordial Dao Lord must intervene.

The ability to silently block his senses is no ordinary Primordial Dao Master.

Even if this is just an avatar, once one becomes a Dao Lord, the avatar can be transformed into the main body at any time.

One can imagine how terrifying the powerful figure who attacked him must be: "Show yourself!"

However, the person in the shadows did not make a move, but simply sealed off this space, indicating that they wanted to discuss things with him but did not want others to know.

After Ying Zheng spoke, the endless stream of data transformed into dazzling light and shadow, forming the powerful and beautiful woman in front of him. She smiled kindly and said, "As expected of the Lord of Hongmeng, you noticed it so quickly!"

When Ying Zheng touched upon the Great Dao she possessed, he knew her origin—the Master of the System.

It is said to be a troublemaker in all the heavens and myriad realms, omnipresent.

They would occasionally release various systems to help living beings grow, and finally reap the fruits of their cultivation.

Moreover, it is said that the system's master has offended countless powerful figures. If it weren't for the protection of the Dao Ancestor, he would probably have been suppressed long ago, and he wouldn't be able to live so freely.

This rumor is indeed true; without the power of a Dao Ancestor, it would be impossible to deceive him so quietly.

Although it was only for a brief moment, it was enough to demonstrate the power and origins of the system's master.

"Speak frankly, what brings you here so suddenly?" Ying Zheng asked directly.

"Since the Lord of Hongmeng is so straightforward, then I won't beat around the bush either. Someone wants to see you, but it's inconvenient for them to come in person, so they asked me to take you there," the System Master said frankly.

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng seemed to be deep in thought. The one who could command the system's master to come must be the powerful Dao Ancestor behind her.

Moreover, that Dao Ancestor held a special position and was constantly under scrutiny, so it was inconvenient for him to personally take action.

It seems that Ying Zheng already had several candidates in mind.

“Alright!” Ying Zheng immediately agreed.

For Ying Zheng, even the Dao Ancestor wouldn't dare to easily touch him, otherwise he would suffer Nuwa's furious revenge.

Moreover, at their level, they are immortal beings, and can only be suppressed.

If we accidentally let him escape, and he, who has the potential to become a Dao Ancestor, continues to oppose us after he achieves enlightenment, then we'll be in trouble.

Ying Zheng reasoned that the person behind it all shouldn't be so foolish. Besides, his actions might affect the interests of some Hunyuan Dao Lords.

But it doesn't matter much to those Dao Ancestor level experts; they don't need to pay such a price to eliminate him.

Seeing Ying Zheng's composure, the System Master admired him even more: "Then let's set off!"

Having said that, the system's master moved this space and headed straight for an unknown place.

However, an identical Ying Zheng appeared in this vast world and continued to carry out the previous mission.

Even the Main God Space was unaware of the recent change. Although the Main God Space is indeed powerful, it cannot monitor everyone at all times.

Moreover, the power Ying Zheng displayed was only at the ninth level of the Divine Demon Realm, so the Main God Space wouldn't pay too much attention to it. Its surveillance targets were those Transcendent beings with the cultivation of the Great Luo Realm.

At this moment, Ying Zheng arrived at a certain area deep within the endless chaos, where all the myriad paths of the heavens were excluded. There was an extremely magnificent Great Dao that stretched out here, which was the territory of that Dao Ancestor.

In a daze, Ying Zheng saw a planet comparable to the Great World, standing in the endless chaotic sea.

This planet is inhabited by countless races, and its vast and dazzling galaxy is composed of numerous small planet-like spaces.

The universes and stars within each space are remarkably similar. Upon seeing this figure, Ying Zheng was somewhat dazed; this was Earth, a place that had left a deep impression on him.

The moment Ying Zheng saw Earth, he understood that all similar planets in the myriad realms were extensions of the Great Dao of that Dao Ancestor. (End of Chapter)
