After all, the Blood Sea World will soon no longer belong to him, so why worry about these things?

Suddenly, a strange movement appeared on the Blood Sea Avenue. Formless and shapeless figures carrying a demonic aura gathered from it.

The figure exuded an aura of superiority, coldly gazing at the Blood God Palace: "Nether River, your decision!"

The Styx Ancestor wore a bitter expression. Although he had long prepared to infiltrate the Demon Realm, the arrival of this day still made him uneasy.

Under the oppressive shadow of the Demon Ancestor Rahu, the Styx Ancestor, standing on the sixteenth-grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, helplessly said, "Styx respectfully obeys the Demon Ancestor's command!"

Demon Ancestor Rahu stared at Styx Ancestor with a half-smile: "You're quite sensible. I don't care what your intentions are, as long as you don't disobey my orders, I will ignore you. If you can't even complete the tasks I assign, then you have no value!"

The Styx Ancestor naturally understood the unfinished words of the Demon Ancestor Rahu: "Trash has no right to exist in this world: Styx will remember the Demon Ancestor's teachings!"

Then, Demon Ancestor Rahu surveyed the Blood Sea Great World, from which nearly half of its origin had been extracted, gave Styx Ancestor a meaningful glance, and then ignored him.

We still need the Styx Ancestor to do things, but we can't rush things, otherwise things will end up in chaos.

Subsequently, the vast power of the demonic path completely sealed off the Blood Sea World, silently hiding it.

Even the other Great Daos were bewildered. The vast Demon Realm appeared behind the Demon Ancestor Rahu.

The seventy-three heavens of the Demon Realm shone brightly. Within these seventy-three heavens resided dozens of Primordial Dao Lords, all closely monitoring the fusion of the Blood Sea Great World.

Seeing that the Styx Ancestor showed no intention of resisting, disappointment appeared in their eyes: "As expected, under the pressure of the Demon Ancestor, no Dao Lord can resist!"

At the same time, the Blood Sea Heavenly Radiance shines brightly, and begins to connect with the origin of the Blood Sea Great World.

As the Blood Sea Great World gradually merged into the Blood Sea Heaven, the Asura race was infected by the power of the Demon Realm and began to evolve and mutate.

Realizing this, the Styx Ancestor used the Blood God Palace as the center to protect the Asura race within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles, preventing them from undergoing mutations.

Demon Ancestor Rahu remained unconcerned about Styx Ancestor's actions. The assimilation he had just witnessed was merely a spontaneous aggressive characteristic of the demonic path and did not violate his will.

As the Blood Sea World completely merged into the Blood Sea Sky, the faint trace of Ying Zheng remaining in the Blood Sea World quietly vanished.

Ying Zheng, who was collecting innate spiritual materials nurtured by the chaotic metal energy in the endless chaotic sea, suddenly stopped what he was doing.

His gaze drifted into the distance, towards the location of the Blood Sea Great World.

In a daze, he saw the scene of the Demon Realm Blood Sea Heaven devouring the Blood Sea Great World.

With a fleeting sense, Ying Zheng watched the figure of Demon Ancestor Luo Hou and discovered that most of the Primordial Dao Lords in the seventy-three heavens of the Demon Realm had disappeared.

Unsure of where these Primordial Dao Lords had been dispatched by the Demon Ancestor Rahu, Ying Zheng felt an ominous premonition.

Perhaps we should investigate their whereabouts. The Demon Ancestor Rahu must have an important plan for sending them out at this time.

At the same time, Ying Zheng turned his gaze to the seventy-third heaven of the Demon Realm, which was the territory of Azathoth, the Demon God of Evolution and Aberration.

It was Qin Shi Huang who arranged for Azathoth to be transferred from the Abyss to the Demon Realm.

Thinking about how he had led him into the abyss of the Demon Realm, Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

Perhaps we should let Styx Ancestor contact him and try to win him over. Styx Ancestor alone can only do so much, but with Azathoth by his side, they can employ far more methods!
"Contact Azathoth as soon as possible and probe his attitude. If necessary, inform him about the reopening of the primordial world by the Demon Ancestor Rahu to encourage his cooperation. At the same time, find out about the Demon Ancestor Rahu's next move."

These words echoed in the mind of the Styx Ancestor, keeping him outwardly calm but inwardly highly vigilant.

At this moment, the Demon Ancestor Rahu is right in front of them. If they are discovered to be in contact with Ying Zheng, their lives will be in danger.

Fortunately, the connection just now occurred deep within the soul, generated by the imprint deep within the origin of the Great Dao. Even if the Demon Ancestor Rahu did not intrude into the Great Dao, he would hardly be able to detect it.

Ying Zheng then continued his travels in the endless chaotic sea.

At this moment, Demon Ancestor Rahu looked at Styx Ancestor: "Next, you need to stabilize the situation in Blood Sea Heaven. Other matters need not be concerned for the time being."

After speaking, Demon Ancestor Rahu vanished. Styx Ancestor breathed a sigh of relief and, within the Blood God Palace, sensed the current state of the Asura race, his expression complex.

But he quickly put those emotions aside and pondered how to approach Azathoth naturally without arousing suspicion.

The task assigned by Ying Zheng had to be completed, but how to protect oneself was also a skill.

Just as the Styx Ancestor was pondering his plan of action, a sudden atmospheric disturbance occurred in the Heavenly Court.

The Queen Mother of the West has made up her mind to take back the benevolent body of the Queen Mother of Yaochi.

"I, the Queen Mother of the West, hereby sever all ties with the Heavenly Court and my spousal relationship with the Heavenly Court. The Heavenly Court and the Western Kunlun Mountains shall have no further connection!"

As the Queen Mother of the West's grand declaration resounded through the heavens, the entire Thirty-Three Heavens trembled violently due to the dissipation of the Heavenly Court's fortune.

All the celestial officials and gods showed expressions of disbelief.

"What's going on? The Heavenly Court is currently expanding and its fortune is flourishing, making it an excellent opportunity to cultivate oneself. Why has the Queen Mother of the West parted ways with the Heavenly Court, completely severed her marital ties, and taken back her benevolent body, the Queen Mother of Yaochi?"

"Could it be that she has a falling out with the Great Celestial Venerable Haotian?"

"What exactly happened? It's truly intriguing. Could something unexpected be about to happen in Heaven?"

"Or is it some Dao Ancestor who disapproves of the Heavenly Court's actions and is preparing to intervene?"

"..."

A series of turbulent events followed. First, the Western Plain Cloud Banner was lost, and now the Queen Mother of the West has retrieved the good corpse of the Queen Mother of the West in Yaochi, causing the Peach Garden to disappear from the Heavenly Realm.

Without this chaotic spiritual root to suppress the fortune, the celestial realm suffered a severe loss of fortune.

The Thirty-Third Heaven was in constant turmoil. The Lord of the Thirty-Third Heaven, the Great Heavenly Venerable Haotian, held the Vast Heaven Mirror above his head and the Heavenly Book of Investiture of the Gods in his hand.

The immense power radiated outwards, suppressing countless beings and stabilizing the chaotic energy of the thirty-three heavens and the Heavenly Court. However, this incident resulted in a severe loss of the Heavenly Court's fortune.

This scene, however, did not cause the Great Heavenly Venerable Haotian to show any anger; instead, a sense of melancholy appeared in his eyes.

Haotian had a premonition as early as when Ying Zheng came to his door to bring up that matter.

After all, his relationship with the Queen Mother of the West was not deep; otherwise, the Queen Mother of the West would not have left only a benevolent avatar to guard the Heavenly Court.

Strictly speaking, they only have a cooperative relationship. Given that Haotian is now involved in the matter of reopening the primordial world, it is reasonable for the Queen Mother of the West to make this decision.

Therefore, Haotian did not blame him at all. He himself was deeply embroiled in this calamity and did not know how many Dao Ancestor-level experts he would face in suppressing him.

All of this was to disrupt Dao Ancestor Hongjun's plan. After all, the Great Heavenly Venerable Haotian was well aware of this.

He ordered the Heavenly Court to expand and rule over all the realms on the orders of Dao Ancestor Hongjun. With such a powerful backer, even other Dao Ancestors had to show him some respect.

But what brought him success also brought him failure. During this time, Haotian realized that the expansion of the Heavenly Court might be part of a plan by Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

He would inevitably face suppression from numerous Dao Ancestors, which might even lead to the collapse of the Heavenly Court. This was unacceptable to Haotian. After all, the Heavenly Court was something he had painstakingly built, and it was his hope for future enlightenment; to give it up was truly heartbreaking.

But Haotian also knew the priorities. The current situation left him no choice; he was already incredibly fortunate to have survived!

Therefore, the Queen Mother of the West was the first to escape the calamity and save herself. Although the Heavenly Emperor did not blame her, he was still filled with mixed feelings.

At this time, in the Great Crimson Heaven of the Heavenly Realm, the Supreme Lord Laozi, the benevolent corpse incarnation of the Great Pure Moral Heavenly Venerable, was sitting in the Tushita Palace.

He held the white jade cane, a supreme treasure of chaos, and its vast aura enhanced it, making its status infinitely close to that of his original body.

He observed the current state of the Celestial Realm's influence radiating throughout the myriad realms. Because no one had intervened initially, the Celestial Realm's power now covered nearly one-tenth of the territory of the myriad realms.

Given more time, it's not impossible for the Celestial Realm to rule over all the heavens and myriad realms.
But how could Taiqing Daode Tianzun and others sit idly by and watch the Heavenly Realm rule over all the heavens and myriad realms according to the Dao Ancestor Hongjun's plan?

At this moment, Laozi looked at Haotian and gazed at the Heavenly Book of Investiture of the Gods floating above his head.

This is a top-tier chaotic spiritual treasure, within which divine authority is brewing. It is precisely because of the existence of the Heavenly Book of Gods that the Heavenly Court was able to bestow titles upon primordial deities.

The Heavenly Book of Investiture of the Gods is one of the foundations of the Heavenly Court. Now that Laozi wants to destroy the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Book of Investiture of the Gods must also be reduced to dust.

Furthermore, the existence of the three books—Heaven, Earth, and Man—is quite peculiar. Each of them is a top-tier Chaos Treasure, and if the three books were combined, they could transform into a powerful Chaos Supreme Treasure.

In the perception of the Supreme Celestial Venerable of the Great Purity, the three books of Heaven, Earth, and Man seem to be related to the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

The Book of Humans was originally in the possession of Houtu, and transformed into the Book of Life and Death, a supreme treasure of the underworld. However, with her fall and the destruction of the witch clan, the Book of Humans also disappeared, presumably reclaimed by the spirits of the underworld.

The Earth Book is the supreme treasure used by Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of earth immortals, to prove his Dao; he needs to find an opportunity to exchange it with him. He is determined to obtain the Heavenly Book, the Investiture of the Gods!

At this moment, Haotian's figure appeared inside the Tushita Palace, completely devoid of the majestic aura of a great celestial being who once shrouded the heavens, exuding a vast imperial power and suppressing the heavens.

At this moment, he resembled an ordinary Taoist priest, his eyes filled with melancholy: "Senior Brother, is there truly no other way?"

Upon hearing Haotian's unwilling question, Taishang Laojun said indifferently, "Although I do not know how the Heavenly Court can help Dao Ancestor Hongjun's plan, the Heavenly Court must not continue to exist. This is not just my opinion, but the consensus of all those who have attained the Dao."

Haotian understood that all those who had attained the Dao feared Dao Ancestor Hongjun, therefore all his previous arrangements needed to be destroyed. This was the will of all those who had attained the Dao, and he could not stop him.

Otherwise, he would only be crushed to pieces by this overwhelming force. Therefore, Haotian has no choice but to abandon this path of enlightenment today.

At this moment, Laozi looked at Haotian with his profound gaze: "Have you noticed anything about the Heavenly Book, the Investiture of the Gods?"

Haotian gazed meaningfully at the Heavenly Book of Gods above the head of his clone, the Great Heavenly Venerable.

As the Investiture of the Gods fluttered, countless stars appeared on it. Each star represented a deity, from the smallest local god to the highest-ranking emperor in the Heavenly Court.

The power of countless laws and the Great Dao is brewing within it, converging to form an extremely special divine path.

Haotian said helplessly, "Although I am in charge of the Heavenly Book and the Investiture of the Gods, in a sense, the Heavenly Court or the Heavenly Dao truly controls it. Although I have certain authority, I ultimately cannot refine it. I suspect that Dao Ancestor Hongjun is its true master!"

As Haotian recounted his story, Laozi's gaze toward the Heavenly Book of Investiture of the Gods grew increasingly curious.

But Laozi changed his tone, his voice laced with probing: "Are you willing to just give up this avatar of yours and abandon this path to enlightenment?"

Haotian feigned nonchalance: "What can I do if I'm unwilling? This avatar must perish along with the Heavenly Court to settle the karmic debt. Besides, even if I truly attain enlightenment through the Heavenly Court, I, bound by the Heavenly Court, would undoubtedly be the best kindling. I have no intention of burning myself to serve others, even if that person is the Dao Ancestor Hongjun!"

"In that case, I shall begin," Lao Tzu said quietly.

As Laozi's command was conveyed, five vast and majestic figures appeared in the Heavenly Court.

They are the six supreme beings who occupy the highest positions in the Heavenly Court, standing at the pinnacle of all the immortals and gods in the Heavenly Court.

They are: the Great Emperor of the Eastern Pole, also known as the Great Venerable Taiyi Who Saves from Suffering; the Great Emperor of the Southern Pole, the Great Emperor of the Western Pole, and the Great Emperor of the Central Heaven, the Purple Star, and the Great Emperor of the Northern Pole. This master of all stars governs the heavens and the earth, commands all the stars in the sky, and controls ghosts, gods, and thunder.

And Houtu, the Earth Goddess, who embodies the virtues of Heaven and the power of virtue. In the beginning, Houtu joined forces with the Heavenly Court and set aside an avatar to guard the Heavenly Court, which became the Goddess Pingxin.

Accompanied by these five towering figures, the brilliance of the divine and immortal paths erupted unrestrainedly, suppressing the celestial realm.

"I, the Great Emperor of the Eastern Azure Flower, hereby declare that I abdicate the throne and part ways with the Heavenly Court!"

"I, the Antarctic Longevity Emperor, hereby declare that I abdicate the throne and part ways with the Heavenly Court!"

"I, the Great Emperor Gouchen of the Western Extremity, hereby declare that I abdicate the throne and part ways with the Heavenly Court!"

"I, the Supreme Emperor of the North Pole of the Central Heaven, hereby declare that I abdicate the throne and part ways with the Heavenly Court!"

"I, the Empress Earth Goddess, who follows the laws of Heaven and embodies great virtue, hereby declare that I abdicate my throne and part ways with the Heavenly Court!"

"..."

The five emperors who occupied the six supreme positions successively announced their departure from the Heavenly Court.

In an instant, the Heavenly Court's fortune collapsed by more than half. Countless star gods, underworld gods, heavenly gods, and celestial officials who were loyal to these five beings declared that they would follow these powerful beings and leave the Heavenly Court.

At the same time, an unparalleled and vast power invaded the Heavenly Book of Gods, erasing the names of the gods under its command, including the gods of the underworld and the stars.

Having lost the blessing of the Heavenly Court, these gods, star gods, and underworld gods lost some of their divine power, but regained their freedom.

It should be understood that once one enters the Heavenly Book of Investiture of the Gods, it is difficult to escape the control of the Investiture of the Gods unless one becomes a Great Luo Immortal.

The God-Slaying Whip, once unleashed, is enough to obliterate the true spirits of all gods.

At this moment, the Great Celestial Venerable, an avatar of Haotian, declared: "As the ruler of the Heavenly Court, I have failed all living beings, and my virtue is unworthy. I will now self-destruct to atone for my sins!"

In an instant, the Great Heavenly Venerable, who occupied the six supreme positions of the Golden Palace of the Heavenly Emperor, the Supreme Being of the Natural Wonderful Existence, the True Jade Emperor, collapsed and vanished into thin air, ending his karmic entanglement with the Heavenly Court.

The six supreme positions in Heaven have vanished, leaving numerous divine posts vacant, and countless celestial officials have resigned. Only the lowest-ranking immortals and minor deities remain, unaware of what has happened.

They watched in fear as the Three Pure Heavens, the Great Crimson Heaven, the Yu Yu Heaven, and the Qingwei Heaven separated from the thirty-three heavens of the celestial realm.

The treasures that suppressed the Thirty-Three Heavens, such as the South Heavenly Gate, were taken away by Haotian, and even these heavens were looted!
With a flick of Haotian's sleeve, numerous immortals, spirits, heavenly soldiers, and heavenly generals were dispersed to all the myriad realms.

As the Heavenly Court collapsed, the Thirty-Three Heavens were stripped away, and the depletion of its essence even triggered a sense of collapse in the Heavenly Realm.

Witnessing the imminent collapse of the Heavenly Realm, many Great Luo Heavenly Venerables and Primordial Dao Masters were filled with disbelief.

"What exactly happened? Why did all the gods and the Six Emperors break away? Why did the Great Celestial Venerable destroy himself?"

What exactly is hidden behind this matter?

"The Great Celestial Venerable is a peak Primordial Realm being, how could such a change occur? Could it be that the Dao Ancestor has made a move?"
