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

After saying this, Demon Ancestor Rahu activated the God-Slaying Spear, integrating the power of the Law of Slaughter, the Demonic Path, and the Great Dao of Destruction into the God-Slaying Spear.

"World destruction."

Demon Ancestor Rahu launched a devastating attack, and the God-Slaying Spear swirled around, unleashing a surge of immense power!

The God-Slaying Spear flew swiftly towards the location of Taiqing Daode Tianzun, Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, and Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun.

Wherever the God-Slaying Spear passed, ripples spread through the surrounding space.

At this critical juncture, the Supreme Celestial Venerable of the Great Purity activated the Exquisite Xuanhuang Pagoda and the Taiji Diagram, barely managing to resist the God-Slaying Spear.

"Fellow Daoist Ying Zheng, come to our rescue at once!"

Seeing this, Ying Zheng hurriedly activated the Wheel of Fate to unleash the power of fate and strike at Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

The Dao Ancestor Hongjun was caught off guard by Ying Zheng's sudden power of destiny, and his body staggered back several steps.

This moment gave Ying Zheng a chance to catch his breath, and he immediately activated the Breaking Dao Spear, thrusting it towards the God-Slaying Spear in front of the Supreme Celestial Venerable of Morality.

Accompanied by the power of breaking through the Dao, the Dao-breaking spear pierced the hilt of the God-slaying spear in an instant.

The God-Slaying Spear was deflected, and with a thought, Demon Ancestor Rahu returned the God-Slaying Spear to his hand.

Demon Ancestor Rahu felt regretful when he failed to kill Shangqing Daode Tianzun.

"You won't be so lucky next time!"

Ying Zheng arrived before Shangqing Daode Tianzun and others.

Are you all alright?

Shangqing Daode Tianzun shook his head.

"He won't die for now."

Seeing this, Nuwa, Houtu, and others hurriedly came to Ying Zheng's side.

Ancestor Yangmei also retrieved the spacetime willow tree and came to the side of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Ying Zheng retrieved the thirty-six-petaled Primordial Purple Lotus from Nuwa.

"This time, I will surely wipe you all out in one fell swoop. At that time, you will become the fuel for the Dao Fruit..."

Dao Ancestor Hongjun was eager to make a move, ordering Ying Zheng and others to be on high alert.

"Hahaha... You think you can stop the emergence of the primordial world? You're simply overestimating yourselves!"

Demon Ancestor Rahu laughed unrestrainedly. At this moment, before the manifestation of the Great Dao of Pangu, Dao Ancestor Hongjun had completely merged the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man; Demon Ancestor Rahu's Thirty-Six-Petaled Golden Lotus of Destruction had also reached perfection.

"It seems the time has come," Ying Zheng thought to himself. When he met the remnant of Pangu in the past, Ying Zheng made a deal with the great god Pangu and imprinted a profound mark on the Jade Disc of Creation. Now, it seems the time has come to activate it.

“They are already at their last gasp. Rahu, go and finish them off.” Dao Ancestor Hongjun looked at Demon Ancestor Rahu, adopting an expression of deep trust.

Demon Ancestor Rahu suppressed his anger and glared at Dao Ancestor Hongjun: "Now that your strength has greatly increased, why don't you take action yourself?" After all, even ants can devour an elephant if there are many of them. Even if Ying Zheng and the others are all injured, Rahu may not be able to wipe them all out with a full-force attack.

Demon Ancestor Rahu had already seen through Hongjun's scheme—to use Ying Zheng and others to weaken his own forces and thus reduce future competitive pressure. Seeing his plan exposed, Dao Ancestor Hongjun showed no surprise. Instead, he said to Rahu, "I have only recently merged with the Great Dao of Pangu, and my control is not yet complete. Of the three, you are the least injured. If you don't go, who will?"

Faced with such excuses, Demon Ancestor Rahu felt quite helpless and turned to Ying Zheng and the others: "Then let us go together, just in case. Let Yang Mei go and heal her injuries first, is that alright?" Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Rahu each had their own thoughts and were unwilling to lose strength before the primordial world descended, fearing that the other would seize the initiative.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun looked troubled, and sighed as if in difficulty, "Very well, I will accompany you to prevent future troubles." Demon Ancestor Luohou was relieved when he saw that he agreed to go together.

While the Demon Ancestor Rahu and the Dao Ancestor Hongjun were arguing, Ying Zheng and the others seized the opportunity to recover their strength. "How should we implant this mark into their bodies later?" Ying Zheng pondered, recovering while remaining vigilant about Hongjun's movements.

"Ying Zheng, it is your honor to fall at our hands. Are you ready to die?" Dao Ancestor Hongjun shouted at Ying Zheng.

"Then we'll see if you have the ability. Be careful that what you gain today doesn't become someone else's prize." Ying Zheng looked at Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou with a half-smile.

Upon hearing this, Dao Ancestor Hongjun was filled with doubt, unable to understand the deeper meaning behind Ying Zheng's words. "What do you mean? Speak quickly, or I'll make sure you die without a burial place!"

Seeing his bewildered expression, Ying Zheng knew he hadn't yet realized he had become someone else's pawn. "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed; you will understand them yourself. Didn't you come to take my life? What are you waiting for? I'm afraid you don't have the ability."

Provoked by Ying Zheng's words, Dao Ancestor Hongjun's face turned ashen. "Fellow Daoists, please gather your power into my body. I will hold them off for a moment, and then you shall retreat immediately." Nuwa and the others knew that they were now nearly exhausted and had no other way to resist the attacks of Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, so they nodded, adjusted their state, and poured their power into Ying Zheng's body.

"How dare you resist, you brat! Surrender your life!" After saying this, Dao Ancestor Hongjun looked at Demon Ancestor Luo Hou. Luo Hou nodded, and then they rushed towards Ying Zheng together.

"Then let me see your abilities." As soon as he finished speaking, Ying Zheng summoned the Primordial Purple Lotus, gathering everyone's power into it. As the Great Dao of Nuwa, the Great Dao of Creation, the Great Dao of Primordial Beginning, and other Daos merged into it, the Primordial Purple Lotus shone even brighter.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun transformed his immortal whisk into an axe shape, infusing it with the power of the Great Dao of Pangu, turning it into the Pangu Axe. "One axe splits the heavens!" In an instant, the Pangu Axe cleaved towards Ying Zheng and his group, the Great Dao of Pangu, condensed with the power of the three thousand Great Daos, sweeping in with unparalleled might.

Demon Ancestor Rahu then infused the power of the Demonic Path and the Great Dao of Destruction into the God-Slaying Spear, unleashing a supreme attack. Seeing the Great Dao of Pangu and the axe-like spear light approaching, Ying Zheng knew that the Primordial Purple Lotus alone could not withstand it. He immediately summoned the River of Destiny to propel the Wheel of Destiny, unleashing boundless power of destiny. The Jade Disc of Creation behind it flickered in and out of sight, but few noticed. "Wheel of Destiny, go!" In an instant, the boundless power of destiny condensed into the Wheel of Destiny and roared forth. The Great Dao of Pangu and the River of Destiny clashed, the Wheel of Destiny and the axe shadow formed by Pangu's axe restrained each other, while the spear shadow unleashed by Demon Ancestor Rahu penetrated deep into the enemy's defenses.

Just as Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou thought Ying Zheng had run out of options, Ying Zheng suddenly charged out with the Dao-Breaking Spear, aiming straight for the two! The Dao-Breaking Spear swept across, deflecting the spear shadows and sending them hurtling into the endless void. Ying Zheng had intended to further weaken Hongjun and Luohou's power, but he was already exhausted and knelt on the ground.

When Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou saw that Ying Zheng was exhausted, they immediately rushed forward—who would want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? Nuwa and the others also noticed Ying Zheng's perilous situation and discussed how to rescue him.

“I will go,” God Jehovah said as the crowd remained silent.

"Aren't you afraid of falling?" Donghuang Taiyi looked at Jehovah.

"I only wish that all beings may be freed from their sins, and that the world may find liberation. I know my strength is limited, but Ying Zheng may truly be able to redeem the world." Seeing his resolute expression, Donghuang Taiyi no longer tried to stop him and watched Jehovah fly towards Ying Zheng's location.

Seeing Hongjun and Rahu attack, Ying Zheng feigned exhaustion. Seeing this, the Demon Ancestor Rahu was overjoyed—Ying Zheng would finally be defeated! Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Rahu rushed to Ying Zheng's side, unleashing the full power of their Pangu Axe and God-Slaying Spear, intending to deliver a fatal blow.

Knowing there was no way to avoid it, Ying Zheng desperately channeled the mark hidden within the Creation Jade Disc, circulating it along with the laws of their weapons, silently imprinting it into the bodies of Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou. Just as the Pangu Axe and the God-Slaying Spear were about to strike, Ying Zheng had already gathered all his strength to prepare to withstand the attack head-on!
In a flash, God Jehovah shrouded Ying Zheng in holy light. However, this attack was the full force of the Dao Ancestor and the Demon Ancestor; how could it be easily blocked? Jehovah smiled nonchalantly: "I am the paradise after all beings die, but I don't know if I will be able to see paradise after my own death... It would be good to take a look." In an instant, Jehovah arrived before Ying Zheng with holy light, solidly receiving the attack.

Immediately, holy light shone brightly, yet the dazzling figure gradually faded amidst the blinding radiance, as if disappearing with the light, illuminating the incomprehensible darkness within the chaos. Ying Zheng was momentarily stunned—never had he anticipated that Jehovah would make such a choice.

Ying Zheng immediately fought his way out, determined not to waste the opportunity Jehovah had given his life for. His figure transformed into a streak of light as he unleashed his full power to escape.

"Why bother? Today, none of you will escape!" Demon Ancestor Rahu tried to recall the God-Slaying Spear from the holy light transformed by Jehovah, but the spear was nowhere to be seen. Just as he was wondering about this, his expression suddenly changed and he retreated rapidly—the holy light continued to shine brightly, containing boundless power, absorbing and illuminating all living beings and even the void that approached.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun discovered the forbidden zone forged by Jehovah with his life and attempted to disperse and suppress it before the holy light spread. However, the moment his Pangu Axe touched the holy light, a deafening roar was heard! The power unleashed by the collision between the Pangu Axe and the source of the holy light directly trapped Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou in the void where holy light and chaos intertwined.

Seeing the dazzling holy light, all the saints knew it was the light emanating from Jehovah's self-sacrifice, and they all stood in silent mourning. Nuwa and the others then rescued Ying Zheng, and seeing his condition, advised him, "He sacrificed himself for you... Do not betray his good intentions."

Suppressing his grief, Ying Zheng summoned the River of Destiny, engulfing everyone within it, and vanished without a trace. By the time Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou escaped, Ying Zheng and his entourage had disappeared without a trace.

"Yangmei, why didn't you keep a close eye on them and let them escape?" Yangmei, who was healing his wounds, was awakened by Dao Ancestor Hongjun's words and asked in confusion, "Could it be that Ying Zheng and the others are not dead? Weren't they supposed to be on their last legs?"

"How infuriating! We two went to kill them, and you just stood here doing nothing." Demon Ancestor Rahu was full of displeasure.

Ancestor Yangmei stood up and stared directly at Luo Hou: "If I hadn't stopped Ying Zheng back then, would you have been able to summon the Great Dao of Pangu? Would you have been able to merge the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man? And now you come to question me?" Ancestor Yangmei glanced at Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luo Hou with an unfriendly tone.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun suppressed his anger and said sternly, "Enough! Ying Zheng has already fled. What's the point of arguing now? Don't forget that we have joined forces. Let's not hurt our harmony." After a pause, he added, "The most urgent matter is to welcome the arrival of the primordial world, not to quarrel here."

Demon Ancestor Rahu and Ancestor Yangmei fell silent. Dao Ancestor Hongjun then said, "We must first restore our strength. This war has dragged on for a long time. If we do not have sufficient cultivation, how can we gain the upper hand after the emergence of the Primordial World?" After that, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Demon Ancestor Rahu, and Ancestor Yangmei each returned to their caves to focus on their recovery.

One day, a million years later, the Demon Ancestor Rahu went to Zixiao Palace and asked the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, "When Jehovah saved Ying Zheng, did you feel any strange objects inside your body?" Hongjun replied, "I wanted to ask you that then. I also felt that Ying Zheng seemed to have something implanted in him, but after nearly a million years of examining my body, I still haven't found anything unusual." Having failed to find anything, the Demon Ancestor Rahu had no choice but to return to his cave to continue his cultivation.

……

After using the River of Destiny to help everyone escape, Ying Zheng led them to his own Daoist abode. "This battle has resulted in heavy losses. The Origin Ancestor and God Jehovah have fallen... Is there any fellow Daoist willing to speak?" The room was completely silent, the atmosphere extremely heavy.

Finally, Donghuang Taiyi broke the silence: "In the final analysis, it is because our strength is insufficient. After Dao Ancestor Hongjun unleashed the Great Dao of Pangu, his power was too overwhelming, and we could not defeat him." Everyone nodded in agreement.

Ying Zheng's gaze swept over the saints one by one: "The struggle is not over yet, and the primordial world has not been fully unleashed. When the time comes, we will still have to fight side by side to the death!" He paused for a moment and then said, "I will first go into seclusion, hoping that all of you fellow Daoists can achieve a qualitative leap in strength." Everyone then returned to their respective Daoist temples and began to recover and recuperate.

……

The primordial core continuously absorbed all realms, causing the heavens and earth to collapse, countless lives to perish, and the world to fall into a dark age. For millions of years after the great war, those who attained the Dao rarely appeared in the world, only occasionally discussing the Dao in hopes of enhancing their understanding of the Great Dao and improving their cultivation.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Demon Ancestor Luohou, and Ancestor Yangmei continued to watch the primordial core that was constantly merging into a new world. Soon after, Ancestor Yangmei, whose injuries were the most severe, returned to his cave to recover. After millions of years of recuperation, his cultivation had returned to its former glory, and he was now working to further control the River of Time and Space, seeking to seize more power. The great battle of that year had caused his control over the River of Time and Space to regress by 20%, but now that his strength had recovered, he naturally wanted to regain more power and make full preparations for the emergence of the primordial world.

Cultivation knows no time; millions of years pass in the blink of an eye. One day, millions of years later, Ying Zheng emerged from seclusion to visit Houtu, the Earth Goddess of the Wu tribe. The Great Witch Zhurong, upon his arrival, immediately invited Houtu to greet him. After a moment, Houtu entered and asked, "Fellow Daoist, what brings you here today?"

Ying Zheng glanced at the great shaman Zhu Rong, who understood and withdrew. Ying Zheng then said to Hou Tu, "Has no one noticed the recent anomalies in the Great Dao?" Hou Tu replied, "Indeed, the Great Dao I govern has been quite unsettled lately, as if drawn by something... Could it be that the primordial chaos is about to descend?"

Ying Zheng said, "Perhaps so. In the past million years, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Demon Ancestor Luohou, and Ancestor Yangmei have been very quiet, probably plotting the emergence of the primordial world. We must stop them, otherwise we will become lambs to the slaughter."

Houtu nodded and asked, "Does Fellow Daoist Ying Zheng have a good plan to deal with this battle?" Ying Zheng said, "I have a plan, but it is not easy to implement and it is closely related to you all."

"Oh?" Houtu asked, "Are you sure I can help you?"

Ying Zheng nodded: "At that time, it may be necessary to enter Pangu's heart... I wish to resurrect Pangu."

Upon hearing the words "resurrecting Pangu," Houtu was extremely shocked: "Is it really necessary to resurrect the Father God? But how should he be resurrected? And why should the Father God be resurrected?" Houtu expressed all her doubts.

Seeing his astonished expression, Ying Zheng then explained each of the questions raised in detail.

"Our primary goal is not to resurrect the Great God Pangu, but to find a way to resurrect his primordial spirit so that it can lend us a hand."...

"Because the Great Dao of Pangu, which is controlled by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, may contain a trace of Pangu's will, with the help of Pangu's primordial spirit, our situation will improve a lot."

After Ying Zheng answered her questions, Houtu immediately understood that the resurrection of Pangu's primordial spirit was crucial to preventing the descent of the primordial world. (End of Chapter)
