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

After completely refining the fragment of the Creation Jade Disc, Ying Zheng was able to block out the mysterious sensation that the fragment itself carried.

The moment that subtle connection was severed in one direction, Dao Ancestor Hongjun crushed the causal power before him with a gloomy expression, his eyes filled with darkness.

"I just hope the person behind this isn't too powerful, otherwise, things will get really messy. That Jade Disc of Creation holds my secret!"

At this moment, Dao Ancestor Hongjun's face was full of desolation. After the exchange just now, he had completely lost track of that guy.

If the person behind the scenes doesn't show themselves, even he, the Dao Ancestor, isn't entirely confident he can find them.

That person was too well hidden, and with Donghuang Taiyi's interference, everything seemed to have fallen into the other party's calculations.

Thinking of Donghuang Taiyi, Daozu Hongjun felt a surge of anger, wishing he could kill him as an example to others.

However, it seems that he has not yet completely separated the humanistic essence contained within that demonic path.

The reason he prioritized dealing with the Jade Disc of Creation earlier was because it was of great importance, and he could distinguish between what was important and what was urgent.

Now that the fragments of the Creation Jade Disc are missing, he must seize every opportunity to enhance his strength in order to cope with future uncertainties.

Therefore, completely seizing control of the fundamental principles of humanity has become the top priority at present.

Even if the person behind the scenes knows the secret, so what? As long as he can hold the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man in his hands, no matter how great his abilities are, what waves can he make?

Before the Pangu Dao, which is half-transcendent, no one can contend with it.

Now, the refinement of the fundamental authority of humanity has reached its most critical juncture.

Otherwise, Dao Ancestor Hongjun would have loved to leave Zixiao Palace immediately and go find trouble with Donghuang Taiyi, to make him understand the consequences of offending him.

"Fine... let him live a little longer. Anyway, it won't be long before all those who have attained enlightenment become my new fuel for reaching the pinnacle!"

Those cold words echoed in the Zixiao Palace, and even Di Ling'er couldn't help but show an excited expression.

Subsequently, Zixiao Palace fell silent once more, and Dao Ancestor Hongjun continued to calm his mind and refine the human origin within the demonic path.

Meanwhile, as Dao Ancestor Hongjun calmed down, the injured Donghuang Taiyi also found a secluded place to begin his seclusion and healing.

Those who had attained enlightenment, after observing for a while and finding nothing amiss, quietly began their own plans or focused on improving their cultivation.

At this moment, after completely refining the fragment of the Creation Jade Disc, Ying Zheng had already grasped nearly one percent of the power over it.

This power may seem insignificant, but for Ying Zheng at this stage, it is a tremendous boost.

Moreover, he could clearly feel that the mysteries of the universe were constantly emerging from the Jade Disc of Creation and flowing through his mind, as if the Jade Disc of Creation was actively helping him cultivate.

This emerging profound mystery of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth originates from the Jade Disc of Creation and is based on the Pangu Dao, which represents a partial transcendence.

Compared to the three thousand Great Daos that now permeate the endless chaotic sea, it is more perfect and more profound.

With the power of deduction embodied in the Jade Disc of Creation, which is comparable to a super brain, it's no wonder that Dao Ancestor Hongjun's strength is so unfathomable.

However, no matter how powerful this Jade Disc of Creation is, it must have considerable limitations; otherwise, the strength of Dao Ancestor Hongjun would probably be far greater than this.

Ying Zheng began to delve deeper into the inner essence of the Jade Disc of Creation. Although he had guesses about its origin, he could never be certain of the truth.

After all, everything they know now is just dubious rumors, or even rumors deliberately spread by Dao Ancestor Hongjun to confuse the public and divert everyone's attention.

As Ying Zheng delved deeper into his investigation, the Jade Disc of Creation suddenly emitted a faint light, as if pulling him back to the late Taiyi Era.

It should be noted that the events that occurred at the end of the Taiyi Era were completely severed by the axe of the Great God Pangu.

Even the power of time reversal cannot reach it, otherwise it would face the axe light of Pangu that split the world.

A full-force attack from someone on the verge of transcendence is something they simply cannot withstand.

Therefore, what exactly happened at the end of the Taiyi Era remains a matter of speculation, as no one has ever truly witnessed it firsthand.

Now, with the help of this fragment of the Creation Jade Disc, Ying Zheng actually bypassed the obstacle of the axe light and arrived at the scene at the end of the Taiyi Era.

At this moment, the roar of the Chaos God, filled with resentment and unwillingness, echoed in Ying Zheng's ears: "Pangu—!"

At the same time, he witnessed the terrifying power of the Great Dao, which condensed into the magnificent power of the Three Thousand Great Daos, contending with the towering Pangu God.

In the world created by the great god Pangu, mountains of corpses littered the earth.

The power of the three thousand Great Daos converges within it, and the resentment and hatred of the three thousand Chaos Demons are conceived within it.

The resentment and hatred tore at the Great God Pangu, trying to rip apart his Dao Fruit and turn all his efforts into nothingness.

At this moment, the flawless Jade Disc of Creation, radiating seven-colored brilliance, floated above the head of the Great God Pangu. Under the impact of the Great Dao and resentment of the three thousand demon gods, it suddenly shattered.

"Snap—"

Even the god Pangu, who was halfway to transcendence, could not stop the Jade Disc of Creation from shattering.

The shattering of the jade disc was like a flood breaking through a dam, and there was no way to stop it.

A faint sense of resentment and melancholy flickered in the eyes of the Great God Pangu: "In the end... I still failed to attain enlightenment..."

The faint sigh of resentment echoed between heaven and earth, and then a jet-black will surged out from Pangu's body.

Immediately afterwards, the will of the Great God Pangu, along with that of the three thousand Chaos Demons, vanished into nothingness.

Only the feelings of resentment and melancholy remained, which gathered the resentment, killing intent and hatred of the three thousand chaotic demon gods and coalesced into a pitch-black figure.

That figure gave Ying Zheng an extremely familiar feeling—it was none other than the Demon Ancestor Rahu from later generations.

Even Ying Zheng never expected that the Demon Ancestor Rahu was born from the resentment and regret of the Great God Pangu after his fall, combined with the resentment, killing intent, and many other negative emotions of the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods.

No wonder his strength is so formidable. If that's true, then Rahu can actually be considered a part of Pangu!

Upon realizing this, Ying Zheng was deeply shocked.

He suddenly understood why Dao Ancestor Hongjun had always adopted a lenient attitude towards Demon Ancestor Rahu. This explained everything. Because in Hongjun's view, no matter what achievements Rahu made, they would ultimately return to him and become one with him.

If that's the case, then we must take precautions.

The mere fact that the two are separated is enough to make people wary; if they were to unite, it would be unimaginable how much their strength would expand.

At the same time, Ying Zheng saw a brand new aura beginning to emerge from the majestic body of the god Pangu—that aura should be the later Hongjun.

Rahu's still-unconscious will instinctively wanted to merge into Pangu's body and take the lead.

But the newly born will naturally resist fiercely. The two sides are locked in a struggle, neither willing to back down.

In the midst of this conflict, they missed the best opportunity to merge, and ultimately neither of them was able to truly control Pangu's physical body and inherit the name of Pangu.

Subsequently, the two could only watch helplessly as Pangu's physical body began to split apart. Pangu's Great Dao, which was half-transcended, transformed into the three Daos of Heaven, Earth, and Man, which governed the three thousand Great Daos and eventually condensed into the Primordial World.

Thus, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the Demon Ancestor Luohou forged an irreconcilable feud, initiating one conflict after another. This was not merely to vent their resentment, but also to vie for the rightful place of Pangu.

Finally, Ying Zheng's gaze followed the shattered fragments of the Creation Jade Disc, watching as the fragment he now possessed crashed into the heart of the Chaos Green Lotus, gradually merging into it, and drifting towards the western part of the primordial world along with the seed permeated with the power of Geng metal.

Then, all the images disappeared, and Ying Zheng's consciousness returned to the present world.

Because of his dream of returning to the Taiyi era, Ying Zheng was imbued with an indelible aura of ancient vicissitudes.

This made the fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation feel even closer to him. But the thought of the secrets he had glimpsed weighed heavily on Ying Zheng's heart.

It turns out that what Houtu said back then was indeed true. She had not deceived them.

But did she know Rahu's true origins? Was she intentionally concealing this fact, or was she truly unaware?
That depends on her future actions.

However, although Ying Zheng has learned many secrets and needs to be extra vigilant in the future, these cannot be directly converted into his own strength at present.

For Ying Zheng, the most urgent task at present is to use the power of the fragments of the Creation Jade Disc to evolve the Great Dao of Destiny.

By innovating and evolving it to the point where it can prove its worth, we can seize control of the course of destiny and further strengthen our own power.

However, when the river of fate and the river of time were mentioned, Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel a little regret.

This fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation could only take him back to the end of the Taiyi Era. At that time, although he focused on the fall of the Great God Pangu, he also vaguely sensed that the river of fate and the river of time were already omnipresent in that era.

Moreover, during the Taiyi Era, the power of these two special rivers was even more illustrious, and their power far surpassed that of today, being several times stronger.

Compared to this, the current flow of time and destiny can almost be described as low-key and restrained.

This is why Ying Zheng's desire to control the river of destiny only grew stronger.

At this moment, he was completely absorbed in the Jade Disc of Creation, using the Pangu Dao Imprint, which was half a step beyond transcendence, as the core, to enhance his own wisdom, and with the help of the power of the Dao of Destiny and the Dao of Fate, he was deducing a brand new path of destiny.

As time quietly slipped by, a year passed in the blink of an eye.

During this extended period of time, since the last battle between Donghuang Taiyi and Daozu Hongjun, there has been no major movement.

In the endless chaotic sea, almost all those who attained enlightenment disappeared without a trace, and no one knew what they were secretly plotting.

Only they themselves knew that as time went by, the burden on their shoulders grew heavier and heavier.

This forced them to desperately improve their strength and continue their journey on the path.

No one wants to fall behind and become the weakest one—because that would mean the risk of falling.

After all, people always pick on the weakest. Aren't the weakest enlightened beings the easiest to manipulate?

Now, both the Hongmeng Great World and the Shan Hai Great World have fallen silent. They have not appeared since Nuwa went into seclusion last time.

Meanwhile, Ying Zheng was also racing against time to comprehend the Way of Destiny, as he was secretly competing with Ancestor Yang Mei.

Although he had the Jade Disc of Creation to help him, the Great Dao of Destiny that Ancestor Yangmei had mastered was the result of the accumulation and advancement of several generations, and its foundation was already profound.

It was extremely difficult for Ying Zheng to catch up with the progress of Ancestor Yang Mei, and even with the help of the Creation Jade Disc, it was not an easy task.

After a year of deducing the Great Dao, Ying Zheng had roughly figured out the limitations of the Creation Jade Disc—it could only deduce the Great Dao to the point of being about to prove the Dao. As for whether he could continue to advance, it all depended on his own comprehension and destiny.

This is why his deductions about the Great Dao of Destiny came to a standstill half a year ago.

However, this half-year of sitting in solitude was not without its gains for Ying Zheng.

At that moment, Ying Zheng suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of inspiration striking his mind: "Now!"

This was the opportunity he had waited for for half a century. The waiting of trillions of years had all transformed into the foundation for his destiny's transformation.

Then, the predetermined path, which had been accumulated to its limit, finally revealed its brilliance.

The power of the Great Dao of Destiny suddenly expanded, and in an instant, it surpassed the Great Dao of Destiny that Ancestor Yang Mei had mastered.

This scene left Ancestor Yang Mei dumbfounded. At this moment, his unwilling roar faintly echoed in the river of time and space: "Impossible! How could he possibly have deduced the Great Dao of Destiny to the point of almost proving the Dao within a single year!"

Although shocked and shaken by Ying Zheng's progress, Ancestor Yangmei quickly regained his composure: "No... I still have a chance. As long as I seize this path, I will be the one to prove my Dao. Fate is part of destiny; returning to destiny is your destined fate!"

With the declaration of Ancestor Yang Mei and the guidance of his will, within the Origin Space of the Great Dao, the Dao of Predestination and the Dao of Destiny, which had been deliberately separated by Ying Zheng and Ancestor Yang Mei, finally began to collide violently.

"Boom!"

The two constantly probed each other in their collisions, each trying to integrate the other into itself.

At the same time, the wills of Ying Zheng and Yang Mei Ancestor were also fiercely clashing.

Whoever takes a step back will be utterly defeated in this battle for the Great Dao.

Faced with all this, Ying Zheng showed no fear, instead revealing a mocking smile: "I've waited a long time for this day. I knew you wouldn't give up so easily. Since you've laid the Great Dao of Destiny before me, don't blame me for having a huge appetite and swallowing it whole, completely severing your possibility of touching the River of Destiny!"
