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

Nuwa and the others realized Ying Zheng's predicament and hurriedly discussed countermeasures.

"I go."

Just as everyone was silent, God Jehovah stepped forward.

"Aren't you afraid of perishing here?"

Donghuang Taiyi looked at Jehovah.

"I only wish that everyone can be freed from sin, and that everyone can be saved. I know my strength is limited, but Ying Zheng may be able to truly relieve the suffering of all living beings."

Donghuang Taiyi looked at Jehovah with unwavering eyes, remained silent, and stopped trying to stop him, watching him fly towards where Ying Zheng was.

When Ying Zheng saw Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou rushing towards him, he pretended to be exhausted.

Seeing this, the Demon Ancestor Rahu was overjoyed—Ying Zheng was finally going to die!
The two approached Ying Zheng and unleashed their full power on the Pangu Axe and the God-Slaying Spear, aiming to kill him with a single blow.

Knowing there was no way to avoid it, Ying Zheng desperately activated the mark hidden in the Creation Jade Disc, following the laws of the two men's weapons, and silently entered the bodies of Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou.

Just as the Pangu Axe and the God-Slaying Spear were about to fall—

A beam of holy light suddenly enveloped Ying Zheng.

God Jehovah stood in his way.

But that was a full-force attack from the Dao Ancestor and the Demon Ancestor; how could it be easily blocked?
Jehovah smiled.

“I am the paradise for all living beings after death, but I don’t know if I will be able to see paradise after I die… It would be good to go and see.”

In the blink of an eye, Jehovah descended upon Ying Zheng with holy light, firmly blocking the attack.

Then the holy light became even more dazzling, but that figure slowly disappeared in the dazzling light, as if it followed the light to illuminate the darkness that was hard to dispel in the chaos.

Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment—he had never imagined that Jehovah would do such a thing.

He then fled with all his might. This was an opportunity that Jehovah had bought with his life.

Ying Zheng transformed into a streak of light, unleashing his full power to flee at breakneck speed.

"Why bother? Today, none of you will escape."

Demon Ancestor Rahu reached out to recall the God-Slaying Spear—but nothing happened.

Just as he was wondering, his expression suddenly changed, and he struggled to retreat.

The holy light spread continuously, dazzling and containing boundless power, absorbing and illuminating all living beings that approached it, and even the void itself.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun realized that this was a forbidden zone created by Jehovah with his life, and tried to suppress it before the holy light could spread completely.

However, the instant the Pangu Axe touched the holy light—

"Boom—!"

The power generated by the collision between Pangu's Axe and the Holy Light Source directly trapped Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou in the void where Holy Light and Chaos intertwined.

The saints gazed upon the dazzling holy light, knowing it was the light that Jehovah had radiated through his life's work, and they all stood still, silently mourning.

Nuwa and the others seized the opportunity to rescue Ying Zheng. Looking at his disheveled appearance, they said in a deep voice:

“He died for you… You cannot betray his feelings.”

Suppressing his grief, Ying Zheng summoned the River of Destiny, engulfing everyone in it, and vanished without a trace.

By the time Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou broke free, Ying Zheng and the others had already disappeared.

"Yang Mei! Why didn't you watch them? You let them get away!"

Yang Mei, who was recovering his strength, was startled awake by this question, his face full of confusion:

"What? Ying Zheng and the others are still alive? Weren't they supposed to be on their last legs?"

"Hmph! We're fighting for our lives, and you're just standing here doing nothing!"

Demon Ancestor Rahu looked displeased.

Yangmei Patriarch stood up and coldly stared at the two of them:

"If I hadn't fought to the death against Ying Zheng back then, would you have been able to successfully summon the Great Dao of Pangu? Would you have been able to successfully merge the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man? And now you're questioning me?"

His tone was full of sarcasm.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun suppressed his anger and roared:

"Enough! The person has already run away, what's the point of arguing? Don't forget, we're on the same side now, let's not ruin our harmony."

He paused, then said:
"The most urgent task is to bring forth the primordial world, rather than continuing this endless dispute."

Upon hearing this, Demon Ancestor Rahu and Ancestor Yangmei fell silent.

Finally, Dao Ancestor Hongjun said:
"Let's recover our strength first. This battle has gone on long enough. If we don't have enough strength, how can we gain the upper hand when the primordial era arrives?"

So the three of them returned to their caves and went into seclusion to recover.

One day, a million years later, the Demon Ancestor Rahu came to Zixiao Palace and said to the Dao Ancestor Hongjun:

"When Jehovah saved Ying Zheng, did you notice anything unusual about your body?"

Upon hearing this, Hongjun frowned slightly:
“I also have a feeling about this. It seems that Ying Zheng took advantage of the chaos to inject something into our bodies. But for nearly a million years, I have repeatedly examined myself, but found nothing.”

Seeing that his search was fruitless, Demon Ancestor Rahu had no choice but to return to his cave and continue his cultivation.

……

After using the River of Destiny to help everyone escape, Ying Zheng brought them to his own dojo.

"In this battle, we suffered heavy losses. Our ancestor and God Jehovah have fallen. Gentlemen, do you have anything to say?"

The room was deathly silent, the atmosphere so heavy it was suffocating.

Finally, Donghuang Taiyi broke the silence:
"Ultimately, it's because we're too weak. After Dao Ancestor Hongjun unleashed the Great Dao of Pangu, his strength skyrocketed, and we were no match for him at all."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Ying Zheng's gaze swept over everyone one by one:

"The battle is not over yet. The primordial chaos has not yet fully descended. When that time comes, we will still need to fight side by side and risk our lives."

"I will go into seclusion first. I hope that all of you fellow cultivators will have made a qualitative leap in strength by then."

Everyone returned to their respective dojos and began their secluded retreats to recover.

……

The primordial core continuously attracted numerous worlds to merge into it. Heaven and earth shattered, all things were annihilated, and the world seemed to fall into endless darkness.

In the millions of years that followed, many enlightened beings ceased to appear in the world. When they did discuss the Dao, it was only to enhance their understanding and improve their strength.

The three—Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Demon Ancestor Luohou, and Yangmei Ancestor—were constantly watching the ever-expanding primordial core.

Soon after, the most severely injured Ancestor Yangmei returned to his cave to recover his strength. Millions of years of recuperation have allowed him to return to his peak, and he is now working to regain control of the River of Time and Space and vie for more power.

In that battle, his control over the River of Time and Space was reduced by 20%. Now that his strength has been restored, he must reclaim the lost authority and prepare for the coming of the primordial era.

Time knows no bounds in spiritual practice. In the blink of an eye, millions of years have passed like a fleeting moment.

On this day, Ying Zheng left his secluded retreat and went to the Wu tribe to seek an audience with Houtu. Upon learning of Ying Zheng's arrival, the great shaman Zhurong immediately went to inform Houtu.

Before long, Houtu came to see her and asked:
"What brings you here today, fellow Daoist?"

Ying Zheng glanced at the great sorceress Zhu Rong. Zhu Rong understood immediately and quickly withdrew.

Ying Zheng then spoke:
"Fellow Daoist, have you not noticed that the Great Dao has recently changed?"

Houtu's expression hardened slightly upon hearing this:
"Indeed. Lately, the Great Dao I control has been quite uneasy, as if something is attracting it... Could it be that the primordial era is about to descend?"

Ying Zheng nodded:

"That's probably right. For the past million years, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Demon Ancestor Luohou, and Yangmei Ancestor have remained silent, presumably plotting in secret and waiting for the primordial world to descend."

“We must stop them. Otherwise, we will all become lambs to the slaughter.”

Houtu nodded, and then asked:
"Does Fellow Daoist Ying Zheng have a good plan to deal with this crisis?"

Ying Zheng pondered for a moment:

“I have a method, but… it is quite difficult to implement, and it is related to your witch clan.”

"Oh?" Houtu raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure, fellow Daoist, that I can be of help?"

Ying Zheng nodded:

"At that time, I'm afraid I'll need to enter Pangu's heart. What I need to do now is to resurrect the great god Pangu."

"Resurrect the Father God?!" Houtu exclaimed in shock. "Is this really necessary? Is there a way? Why resurrect the Father God?"

She asked a series of questions.

Ying Zheng looked at the shocked Hou Tu and began to answer her questions one by one.

"Our first task is not to directly revive Pangu himself, but to find a way to reawaken Pangu's primordial spirit and use his power to help us."

"Because the Great Dao of Pangu, which is controlled by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, may contain a trace of Pangu's will. If we can obtain the assistance of Pangu's primordial spirit, our situation will be much better."

After hearing Ying Zheng's explanation, Houtu immediately understood that reviving Pangu's primordial spirit was of paramount importance in preventing the descent of the primordial world.

Seeing Houtu deep in thought, Ying Zheng didn't say anything more, only telling her to come back in a couple of days to discuss the specifics, since this matter involved a wide range of issues and required careful consideration.

After everything was ready, Ying Zheng summoned Nuwa, Donghuang Taiyi, and others to the Wu tribe's encampment where Houtu was located.

After entering the main hall, Ying Zheng addressed the crowd.

"I believe that all of you fellow Daoists have recently felt the unusual fluctuations in the Great Dao, haven't you?"

Upon hearing this, Donghuang Taiyi and the others nodded in response.

“The path we cultivate has become increasingly out of control lately, as if it could collapse at any moment, which worries us greatly.”

"So after receiving Fellow Daoist Ying Zheng's summons, we rushed over as quickly as possible, wanting to figure out what exactly was going on."

Ying Zheng explained to the crowd.

"This is likely due to the impact of the impending reappearance of the primordial world. The great battle we fought with Dao Ancestor Hongjun ten million years ago only temporarily prevented and postponed the arrival of the primordial world."

Ying Zheng turned his gaze to the outside of the hall and took a deep breath.

"Therefore, the primordial world is about to reappear in the world. If we do not stop it, we will all be plunged into a huge survival crisis."

After all, looking across all the heavens and myriad realms, and the endless chaotic sea, even if all the great laws contained within all living beings were combined, they would still not be as powerful as these enlightened beings.

Once the primordial world appears, those who have attained enlightenment will be the most affected.

Everyone nodded in agreement, showing their approval of Ying Zheng's words.

Suddenly, a voice rang out.

"In that battle millions of years ago, we suffered an incredibly devastating defeat!"

"Even if our cultivation has improved, hasn't their strength also increased? How can we possibly defeat them?"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought.

In that battle millions of years ago, they lost their ancestor and God Jehovah, two enlightened beings, which was an extremely devastating blow to them.

Even if all of them were combined, they would probably still be no match for Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who possessed the Great Dao of Pangu, Demon Ancestor Luohou, and Yangmei Ancestor, who controlled the River of Time.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Ying Zheng stood up.

"I have found a solution to this."

"Found a solution? Fellow Daoist Ying Zheng, what other methods do you have?"

Donghuang Taiyi and the others then spoke.

They didn't believe Ying Zheng could do anything. After all, the strength of both sides was obvious, and there was no way he could come up with a solution.
Seeing the disbelieving looks on everyone's faces, Ying Zheng expressed his understanding.

Because he originally had no way to defeat Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Demon Ancestor Luohou, and Yangmei Ancestor, but after much thought, he finally remembered a key figure.

Moreover, the River of Destiny he controls has the potential to revive the spirits of the deceased.

When any living being dies, its life imprint returns to the river of fate.

Ying Zheng addressed the crowd.

"The solution is to resurrect the Great God Pangu. Of course, what we can do at present is only to resurrect the Great God Pangu's primordial spirit."

When everyone heard Ying Zheng's plan, they were all at a loss for what to do.

Seeing the worried expressions on everyone's faces, Ying Zheng's voice rang out again.

"To implement this method, I need the help of the three: Taiqing Daode Tianzun, Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, and Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun."

"Because the three of you are the original spirits of the Great God Pangu, I need you to merge a part of your own spirits into Pangu's heart, so as to summon Pangu's spirit and help us defeat the Ancestor Hongjun."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze to the three brothers: Taiqing Daode Tianzun, Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, and Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun.

"For the safety of all fellow Daoists, and for the sake of all living beings, we three brothers are willing to divide a portion of our primordial spirit to summon the primordial spirit of Pangu."

Upon hearing the three brothers' answer, everyone felt a surge of admiration.

The primordial spirit is of paramount importance to anyone; separating it will inevitably cause immense pain and mental anguish.

The three Heavenly Venerables of the Supreme Purity, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable of the Jade Purity, and the Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Venerable of the Upper Purity exchanged glances and smiled helplessly.

Upon hearing the three men's replies, Ying Zheng also spoke.

"I believe that all of you here today will remember the dedication and contributions of the three of you, and never forget this merit."

After receiving the reply from the three brothers of Taiqing Daode Tianzun agreeing to divide the primordial spirit, Ying Zheng immediately informed the remaining people of the next steps in the plan.

The three brothers, Taiqing Daode Tianzun and Houtu, went to the Pangu Palace to attempt to revive Pangu's primordial spirit, while the rest of the group, carrying Ying Zheng's thirty-six-petaled Hongmeng Purple Lotus, went to obstruct the arrival of the primordial world. All actions were scheduled to officially begin one month later.

At this moment, Ying Zheng, along with the three brothers Taiqing Daode Tianzun and Houtu, arrived at the Pangu Palace.

When Taiqing Daode Tianzun saw the Pangu Palace, which he had only heard of before but never seen, and was now able to enter it in person to see its true appearance, he couldn't help but sigh that the trip was worthwhile.

Seeing the Supreme Lord of Morality's appearance, Ying Zheng recalled his own first entry into the Pangu Palace, the scene strikingly similar to the person before him, and couldn't help but smile. (End of Chapter)
