Emperor Wu Shihuang's handwriting, do not go out of the Milky Way border

Just as the terrifying power of the River of Time was about to crush them, the Origin Ancestor's expression changed drastically, and he quickly withdrew from the River of Time.

The river and its branches, which had just been disturbed, were restored to their original state by this boundless power.

At this moment, the Origin Ancestor returned to his physical body and stared at the River of Time with great fear: "Being inside the River of Time, we have no way to deal with him. Moreover, according to my speculation, Yang Mei has not completely controlled the River of Time, otherwise we would not have forced him into such a situation just now!"

Ying Zheng and others were naturally aware of the speculation surrounding the Origin Ancestor.

However, it's too late to say all this now.

After parting ways with the Primordial Ancestor and Chaos, the God of Chaos, Ying Zheng returned to the Daoist temple with a heavy heart.

His gaze was fixed on the distant, ceaselessly flowing river of destiny.

When he attained the status of a Great Celestial Venerable, he used the power of the laws to lift up the sands of his own destiny to a throne, so that fate could not bind him.

But this is far from enough; fate can still exert its influence on them in the face of higher-level forces.

This is only because the River of Destiny has no master; otherwise, the master of the River of Destiny could probably directly bind the fate of those who have attained enlightenment and turn it into a fixed destiny.

Thinking of such consequences, Ying Zheng couldn't help but shudder.

The river of destiny must never be controlled by Ancestor Yangmei.

Otherwise, he, who already controls the river of time, will become even more troublesome.

Moreover, Yang Mei Ancestor hasn't even fully grasped the River of Time and Space yet, so why would he suddenly set his sights on the River of Destiny? Isn't he afraid of biting off more than he can chew?

This is such a simple truth that Ancestor Yangmei would not be unaware of it.

Could it be that his progress in the river of time and space was hindered, and he could no longer maintain his power over it, so he turned his attention to the river of fate?
Both are beings that are born to traverse the endless chaotic sea, creations of the omnipresent Great Dao in the world.

It's impossible to say they have nothing in common.

Therefore, Ancestor Yangmei wanted to use his partial control over the River of Destiny to gain insights and help him continue his journey in controlling the River of Time and Space.

Reflecting on his own speculation, Ying Zheng felt it was increasingly likely: "It seems there's yet another reason to stop you from interfering in the river of destiny!"

At the same time, Ying Zheng reflected that the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos under his control had reached perfection.

Perhaps he too can venture into the realm of destiny, thereby attempting to control the long river of fate.

Since Ancestor Yangmei can control the river of time and space, why can't I control the river of destiny?

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng became even more excited, even though Ancestor Yang Mei had already taken the first step.

But as long as he hasn't completely taken control of the river of fate, nothing is set in stone.

He could even use the River of Destiny as a springboard to venture into the River of Time and Space and steal the lair of Yang Mei Ancestor.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng wished he could take immediate action.

But where should one begin to take control of one's destiny?
There are very few beings in the myriad realms who cultivate the Way of Destiny, and even fewer who can achieve proficiency in the Way of Destiny.

After much deliberation, Ying Zheng decided to start with prophecy.

Although prophecy is not solely the work of fate, it can also be achieved through the great principles of time, celestial secrets, and deduction.

But precisely because of this, it was easier for Ying Zheng to intervene.

Ying Zheng's previous incarnation was Fuxi, who created the Eight Trigrams and was extremely skilled in divination of celestial secrets.

This time, Ying Zheng intends to use the prophecy as a springboard to explore destiny.

By harnessing the power of prophecy, one can transform fate into destiny, and then use the power of destiny to influence fate.

At this moment, countless streams of light emanated from Ying Zheng as he traveled through the myriad worlds, leaving his mark on everything from small worlds to countless worlds, and even the great thousand worlds.

Ying Zheng directly transformed into a fortune teller, traveling through countless worlds to put this into practice, while also attempting to dabble in destiny.

As Ying Zheng took action, Yang Mei, the patriarch who was about to break through his bottleneck and completely grasp the Dao of Destiny, was slightly moved.

He used the power of the Great Dao of Destiny to reverse the flow and could sense that someone was using this to peer into destiny.

Moreover, this person who was spying on fate felt very familiar to him, and after a moment of calculation, Ancestor Yangmei knew the person's identity.

Ancestor Yangmei smiled disdainfully: "Trying to meddle in destiny now? Isn't it too late? Ying Zheng, I am about to completely control the path of destiny!"

Subsequently, Ancestor Yangmei stopped paying attention. In his view, although Ying Zheng's actions were somewhat troublesome, they were not enough to cause any major upheaval.

The most important thing now is to master the Great Dao of Destiny. At this moment, Ancestor Yangmei is using the power of the River of Time to wash away the true spirit imprint of the goddess of destiny, Nix, on the Great Dao of Destiny, intending to completely erase all her marks and traces.

Although the mark left by the goddess of fate Nyx on the road of destiny is extremely stubborn, it is still difficult to withstand the erosion of the long river of time.

With just a few tricks, Ancestor Yangmei cleansed the Great Dao of Destiny, as if the goddess of destiny, Nix, had never been in charge of it.

With great excitement, Ancestor Yangmei imprinted his mark on it and used the power of many fundamental laws to enhance his understanding of destiny.

As the power of the Great Dao of Destiny gradually resonated with that of Ancestor Yangmei.

After Ancestor Yangmei left his mark on it, the Great Dao of Destiny became active once again.

Seeing this, Chaos, the god of chaos, revealed a cold expression: "The higher you stand, the harder you fall. I want to see what a miserable fate awaits you, Yang Mei!"

Chaos, the god of chaos, did not stop it because he knew that he could not stop it by his own power.

They might even lose their lives in vain. Chaos, the god of chaos who had just faced off against Ancestor Yangmei, was well aware of his strength.

If it weren't for the help of Ying Zheng and Yuan Zu, he would probably be a prisoner of Yang Mei Ancestor by now.

However, at this moment, Ying Zheng also sensed the unusual movement of Ancestor Yang Mei, but he focused on the Great Dao of Destiny that Ancestor Yang Mei was in control of and did not pay attention to it.

As long as Ancestor Yangmei does not innovate the Great Dao of Destiny and attain the Dao through Destiny, the outcome of this battle is still uncertain.

At this moment, as Ying Zheng took action, Nuwa, who had already awakened, also noticed his actions.

Furthermore, Ying Zheng had previously warned all those who had attained enlightenment to be wary of Yang Mei, the Old Ancestor, interfering in the River of Destiny.

Nuwa found Ying Zheng and advised him, "Brother, why do you have to fight against fate? Although the Great Dao of Fate and the River of Fate are indeed special, your Great Dao of Primordial Chaos is no less so. If you continue on this path, you can grow to the same height as the River of Time and Space and the River of Fate!"

Ying Zheng naturally understood Nuwa's concerns; she was afraid he would be distracted.

The Great Dao of Primordial Chaos, which has reached a state of perfection, does indeed possess enormous development potential.

It would be a great pity if Ying Zheng gave up.

Moreover, who knows if there are pitfalls waiting for them to fill in the naturally existing river of time and space and the river of fate?

These two long rivers are so mysterious that they have never had a true master. They have existed since the beginning of time, as if they were born from chaos.

No one knows whether it contains treasure or a bottomless pit.

They might become incredibly wealthy and soar to great heights, or they might fall into a pit from which they can never climb out.

The risks were far too great, and Nuwa was unwilling for Ying Zheng to be embroiled in such an unpredictable and perilous crisis. Seeing that Ying Zheng's expression remained unchanged, Nuwa knew he had not given up, and continued to persuade him, "Brother, who knows if these two special entities are traps set by someone? Yang Mei has the resources to gamble, but you, brother, do not!"

Seeing Nuwa's unwavering attitude, Ying Zheng also felt quite troubled.

After all, Nuwa was acting out of concern, and what she said was indeed true.

But Ying Zheng was unwilling to give up. Even if it was a trap, a bait thrown out by someone, Ying Zheng was determined to swallow it.

Although Ying Zheng is not yet certain of avoiding the risks behind the long river of fate, his foundation lies in the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos.

If all else fails, giving up on fate is also an option.

However, with the information revealed by Yang Mei Ancestor, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, Ying Zheng has been able to deduce their trump cards.

With Ying Zheng and his allies' current strength, there is absolutely no chance of victory.

Moreover, Ying Zheng also wanted to obtain the Dao Fruit, and he would not be satisfied with just this little bit of power.

Therefore, Ying Zheng advised, "Sister, as you know, our goal is not only to protect ourselves from Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the others, but also to obtain the Dao Fruit. Our current strength is far from enough, and I need the help of the River of Destiny!"

Upon hearing this, Nuwa fell silent, vowing to fight to the death to prevent anyone from achieving enlightenment.

Since Ying Zheng had already made his decision, she could no longer try to persuade him.

Moreover, his previous words were already offensive. If it weren't for the fact that they were siblings and husband and wife, he would never have said such a thing.

Therefore, after a moment of silence, Nuwa said, "I understand, brother!"

After saying this, Nuwa turned around, her smile disappearing and replaced by a resolute expression.

It is because she is too weak that she puts so much pressure on Ying Zheng. Perhaps she should give it a try.

At this moment, Ying Zheng watched Nuwa turn and leave. Although he knew that his decision would hurt Nuwa, he had no other choice.

As time passed, the Great Luo Heavenly Venerable and the Primordial Dao Master, who had fallen at the hands of Ancestor Yang Mei, did not cause much of a ripple in the vast and boundless Chaos Sea.

Hundreds of millions of years have passed, burying everything in the annals of time.

Over these hundreds of millions of years, all those who attained enlightenment have devoted themselves to improving their cultivation, while Demon Ancestor Rahu, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and Yangmei Ancestor each had their own purposes and did not cause any trouble...

Therefore, this endless chaotic sea has now fallen into an eerie calm, but everyone knows that this is only a brief period of peace before the storm.

One day, a wave will erupt and sweep across the entire endless chaotic sea. Whether they can ride the wind or be swept to the bottom of the sea depends on their own fate.

At this moment, Ying Zheng was still carrying out the fortune teller's plan, though he could vaguely touch upon the predetermined fate.

However, Ying Zheng was not yet confident in elevating it to the Great Dao, because a single predetermined fate could not support the foundation of a Great Dao.

He still needs more insights into destiny, and this alone is far from enough, since Ying Zheng's goal is to innovate on the existing path of destiny.

Using destiny as a springboard to gain access to the long river of destiny, how could he possibly care about such a small achievement?

Ying Zheng, who was telling fortunes, suddenly packed up his stall and left that world in an instant.

The thirty-six-petaled Primordial Purple Lotus within her sleeve trembled slightly, and a clear, purple-clad voice echoed in Ying Zheng's ears: "Master, you instructed me to keep an eye on Donghuang Taiyi's condition. Now I can sense that his condition is improving, and it seems that he is about to completely merge the two Great Daos!"

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng's eyes revealed surprise. If Donghuang Taiyi could completely merge these two Great Daos...

In such a short period of time, he also possessed the strength to challenge Dao Ancestor Hongjun and others.

Unfortunately, even so, its flaws are obvious: it doesn't last long. As long as the strategy of delaying is used, Donghuang Taiyi will surely be defeated.

However, this was enough for them, as there were other members in the alliance to supplement and make up for Donghuang Taiyi's shortcomings.

Ying Zheng gazed at Donghuang Taiyi within the thirty-sixth grade Hongmeng Purple Lotus. The new power formed by the fusion of the Primordial Dao and the Sun Dao condensed into a spiritual cocoon, enveloping Donghuang Taiyi within it.

At this moment, Donghuang Taiyi is as if he has returned to the time when he was first conceived and born.

Under the baptism of the combined power of the Sun Avenue and the Primordial Avenue, its three-legged golden crow body became even more powerful.

Every gesture he made possessed the power to tear apart all paths, and in a daze, an aura of absolute dominance emanated from him, intimidating all the heavens and the myriad paths.

At this moment, this aura broke through the thirty-sixth grade Primordial Purple Lotus, pierced through the endless chaotic sea, and shook all the heavens and myriad realms.

At this moment, all those who have attained enlightenment turned their gaze toward this place.

"This power is similar to the primordial beginning and the sun, and also seems to encompass the unique characteristics of two great Daos!"

"Could it be that Donghuang Taiyi succeeded? I thought it would be good enough if he could suppress the backlash from the Great Dao!"

"Unexpectedly, he was able to go even further and completely merge these two great paths!"

"Now, Donghuang Taiyi is considered to be at the level of perfect Dao, and his strength should be second only to Ying Zheng, thus entering the first rank!"

"When will we be able to perfect our own cultivation path? Donghuang Taiyi has truly ascended to heaven in one step this time!"

Meanwhile, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Demon Ancestor Luohou, and Yangmei Ancestor all cast their gazes from their hiding places.

They looked at Donghuang Taiyi's current state with expressions of disdain or mockery, but had no other means to interfere with Donghuang Taiyi's transformation.

After all, not to mention Donghuang Taiyi's current combat strength, Ying Zheng is already eyeing him covetously.

Who knows if this is a trap they've set, given the current strength of their alliance?

It is indeed possible that one of them could be left behind. If they were caught up in it, wouldn't they be completely caught off guard?

As the three gazes departed, Donghuang Taiyi and Ying Zheng felt quite disappointed.

Then, Donghuang Taiyi transformed into human form, tore apart the Golden Crow's shell, and the dazzling patterns flowing on it gradually dissipated.

Donghuang Taiyi stepped out, now regaining his former imposing and domineering demeanor.

Upon seeing this, Ying Zheng congratulated him, saying, "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Taiyi, on refining your Dao heart and making further progress!"

In response, Donghuang Taiyi said with delight, "This experience has allowed me to return to my true self. I have not only seen what I lost in the past, but also gained much more. Do you have any trace of Hongjun now, fellow Daoist?"

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng shook his head helplessly and said, "I am very sorry, but we cannot find any trace of him. Hongjun should have already gone into hiding and is separating the human aspect from the demonic path. He has not appeared for hundreds of millions of years."

Donghuang Taiyi naturally believed what Ying Zheng said. After all, Ying Zheng had no reason to deceive him, and besides, other enlightened beings would also understand the matter.

Thinking of the humiliation he had suffered and the sight of his elder brother being suppressed under the immortal path, Donghuang Taiyi could no longer tolerate it: "I know!"

Seeing Donghuang Taiyi about to set off to search for the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Ying Zheng suddenly spoke up: "Although I understand the frustration in your heart, even if you find Hongjun's trail, do not act rashly. With your current strength, you are still no match for Hongjun."

Upon hearing this, Donghuang Taiyi paused for a moment before smiling and saying, "I naturally understand that."

Then, Donghuang Taiyi's figure drifted away. Seeing this, Ying Zheng gazed at the thirty-six-petaled Primordial Purple Lotus in his palm.

At the lotus platform, a humanoid figure faintly appeared, a mark left by Donghuang Taiyi. (End of Chapter)
