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

"Who is tampering with the primordial world? There has been no movement for nearly a million years. Surely Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the others will not come to compete for it again?"

Ying Zheng spoke slowly.

At this moment, Ying Zheng was very puzzled, having no idea who was tampering with the primordial world.

Immediately, Ying Zheng burst out of his own Dao Palace and sped towards the primordial world.

……

"Rahu, come out and see me at once!"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun stood outside the Dao Palace of Demon Ancestor Luohou and shouted loudly.

A short while later, the Dao Palace of Demon Ancestor Rahu slowly opened, and Demon Ancestor Rahu then walked out.

Demon Ancestor Rahu was also very surprised to see Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Yangmei Ancestor appear outside his Dao Mansion.

"What brings you two here to find me?!"

Demon Ancestor Rahu spoke to Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Yangmei Ancestor.

"It's been almost a million years since I last saw you. I came here specifically to see how you are doing now? Have you perished?"

Yangmei Patriarch teased Demon Ancestor Rahu.

Even if you perish, I'll still be fine. I'll definitely follow in your footsteps.

Demon Ancestor Rahu retorted defiantly.

Suddenly, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Yangmei Ancestor, and Demon Ancestor Luohou all burst into laughter.

"Alright, let's go inside my residence first. What's the point of the three of us standing here outside?"

Demon Ancestor Rahu beckoned to Yangmei Ancestor and Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

With that, Demon Ancestor Rahu led the two into his Daoist abode.

……

Ying Zheng completely concealed his aura and quietly arrived near the primordial world.

As soon as he got close, he keenly sensed that some subtle changes were taking place in the primordial world.

Who exactly is it?

Ying Zheng muttered to himself.

After saying that, he continued to extend his divine sense to carefully examine the situation of the primordial world.

Suddenly, a familiar figure came into view—that person was merging their own Dao power into the primordial world.

"How could this be? How could it be him?"

Ying Zheng was shocked and couldn't believe it.

Just as he was about to appear, the figure vanished without a trace.

"He has no reason to let the primordial world continue to expand... Could it be that he wants the primordial world to descend completely?"

Filled with doubts, Ying Zheng returned to his Daoist abode.

As soon as he returned to the Daoist temple, he immediately summoned the other Daoists to discuss matters.

Before long, the Daoists who had received the signal rushed to Ying Zheng's Daoist residence.

Once everyone had arrived, Ying Zheng used his Dao power to shield the space.

Seeing this, Donghuang Taiyi asked in confusion:
"Fellow Daoist Ying Zheng, what is the purpose of your sudden summons? And why have you shielded this space?"

After all, Ying Zheng had not summoned them for nearly a million years since the last banquet.

Today's sudden move has left everyone quite puzzled.

Once everything was ready, Ying Zheng answered Donghuang Taiyi's question:
"I'm doing this simply to shield certain people from their perceptions. Because what I'm about to say might overturn your previous understanding."

Ying Zheng spoke to Donghuang Taiyi and the others.

"Some people's perceptions?" This statement only deepened everyone's confusion.

Faced with everyone's confusion, Ying Zheng recounted everything he had seen and heard that day.

"Impossible! Are you sure you're not mistaken? How could it be him?"

Nuwa spoke first.

Ying Zheng shook his head, his tone extremely firm:
"I'm sure I'm not mistaken. It's him. He might be the one to restart the primordial world."

Upon receiving Ying Zheng's confirmation, everyone was shocked and began to discuss it amongst themselves.

At this moment, the Supreme Celestial Venerable of the Great Purity stood up and said:
"Fellow Daoist Ying Zheng, you can't just say such things! We have never sensed any unusual fluctuations in the primordial world."

Seeing that some people still did not believe him, Ying Zheng then condensed the scene he had witnessed that day into an image and presented it to everyone.

If a person extracts their own memories, then they present them without reservation.

However, Ying Zheng only selected the portion that was seen today.

Everyone stared at the image before them and fell silent.

"Now you should believe me, right? I didn't lie to you. Besides, why would I lie to you about something like this?"

Ying Zheng looked at the silent crowd and spoke.

The crowd was momentarily speechless, unable to comprehend what they were seeing.

Ying Zheng spoke again:
“I know this is a big blow to you, but the facts are there. We need to prepare in advance.”

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

Ying Zheng began to make arrangements for everyone. After the arrangements were completed, he told everyone to return to their respective residences and await his news.

Inside the main hall, only Nuwa and Ying Zheng remained.

"Sigh... I still can't accept this fact."

Nuwa sighed deeply and said to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng looked at Nuwa, whose expression was solemn, and replied softly:

“At first, I couldn’t accept it either. But that’s the truth. We had no choice but to stop him.”

This sudden turn of events was difficult for Ying Zheng and others to accept.

Ying Zheng said to Nuwa:
"You should go back to the Dao Mansion first. I'll let you know if anything happens."

Nuwa nodded and then left Ying Zheng's Daoist residence.

After settling everyone in, Ying Zheng suddenly remembered that there were still a few people he hadn't notified, so he immediately set off from the Dao Mansion.

……

"You haven't cultivated for nearly a million years? How come you're just like Hongjun?"

When Yang Mei Patriarch heard that Demon Ancestor Rahu, like Dao Ancestor Hongjun, had not cultivated for nearly a million years, he was greatly surprised.

It should be noted that Demon Ancestor Rahu is usually quite proactive in his cultivation.

Now even he has stopped, which puzzles Yangmei Ancestor.

"What's the big deal? Since we can't go any further, what's the point of continuing to cultivate so diligently? We might as well go with the flow and let things take their natural course."

Demon Ancestor Rahu said to Ancestor Yangmei.

Going with the flow and things falling into place naturally—this was far too extravagant for Yangmei Ancestor.

"Why think so much? When the time comes, things will be the same as they were. Hard work is certainly essential, but it's also good to relax occasionally."

Dao Ancestor Hongjun spoke to the two of them.

Demon Ancestor Rahu nodded, but Ancestor Yangmei dared not relax.

"You guys seem to have a very open mind. I can't afford to be so careless. I wish I could see things as clearly as you guys someday."

"Old Ancestor Yangmei sighed."

Upon hearing this, Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou exchanged a smile and said to Ancestor Yangmei:

"You're taking this too seriously. It's useless. You've been cultivating for so long, what's wrong with relaxing once in a while? Besides, have you ever relaxed?"

Hearing their words, Ancestor Yangmei felt quite helpless.

He actually wanted to relax, but reality forced him to keep moving forward. Stopping his training was indeed a luxury for him.

"Listen to me, relax and don't overwork yourself. Look how carefree Luo Hou and I are now."

Dao Ancestor Hongjun said to Yangmei Ancestor.

Seeing the two people living such leisurely lives before him, and thinking about his own millions of years of painstaking efforts, Ancestor Yangmei finally hardened his heart:

“You’re right…it’s time for me to relax.”

Upon hearing this, both Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou showed relieved smiles. "You've finally let go! Not bad, not bad."

Demon Ancestor Rahu praised.

After saying that, he turned around, fetched a jar of fine wine that he had been treasuring for a long time, and returned to the two of them.

"Now that I see you've truly let go, I won't be stingy anymore. Let's bring out my treasured wine, and the three of us brothers will have a good drink tonight."

Demon Ancestor Rahu spoke to Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Yangmei Ancestor.

When Dao Ancestor Hongjun saw that Demon Ancestor Luohou had taken out this jar of wine, he was greatly surprised.

He recalled that millions of years ago he had asked the Demon Ancestor Rahu for wine, but Rahu was reluctant to take out this jar of fine wine.

Now that they've actually brought out this jar of fine wine, I'm going to have to satisfy my craving for alcohol.

"Luo Hou, I didn't expect you to go all out today. I've been wanting to try your wine for a long time."

Dao Ancestor Hongjun said to Demon Ancestor Luohou.

Upon hearing this, Demon Ancestor Rahu smiled:
"Then I'll let you drink your fill today. I didn't let you drink before because the time wasn't right."

Upon hearing this, both Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Yangmei Ancestor laughed.

Demon Ancestor Rahu poured a bowl of wine for each of them, and filled his own bowl as well.

"Cheers! Let's drink until we drop today, the three of us!"

Demon Ancestor Rahu raised his bowl and said.

"Alright, let's drink until we're completely drunk!"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Yangmei Ancestor responded in unison.

After drinking a bowl of wine, Dao Ancestor Hongjun felt warm all over his body, and even his Dao power seemed to be replenished.

"Good wine, truly good wine!"

The Daoist patriarch Hongjun praised it highly.

"Then let's drink properly today. Let's celebrate the three of us putting aside our rivalries and living a life free from worldly concerns. Cheers!"

The Demon Ancestor Rahu poured another bowl for each of them.

Just as the three were about to raise their bowls and drink heartily, a voice suddenly rang out:
"May I come over today and have a couple of drinks?"

When Daozu Hongjun and the other two turned around, they saw a familiar figure standing outside the door.

"Why did you have to come only after I brought out my treasured wine? Were you doing this on purpose?"

Demon Ancestor Rahu laughed and cursed.

Standing outside the door was none other than Ying Zheng.

"I specifically chose this auspicious time to come. I wouldn't normally come!"

Ying Zheng responded with a smile.

The Demon Ancestor Rahu was no longer stingy. He beckoned Ying Zheng to sit down, gave him a bowl, and poured him some wine.

"Let's drink first and then talk business. Ying Zheng, what do you think?"

The Demon Ancestor Rahu said to Ying Zheng.

"No problem, let's drink first."

Ying Zheng readily agreed.

It's a rare sight to see former rivals sitting together and enjoying drinks.

After drinking a bowl of wine, Ying Zheng felt exactly the same way as the Dao Ancestor Hongjun had just experienced.

"It is indeed a fine wine that you have treasured for many years. The taste is truly excellent."

Ying Zheng praised.

When the Demon Ancestor Rahu heard Ying Zheng praise his wine, he couldn't help but burst into laughter:

"Of course. Otherwise, why would I have treasured it for so long? Even when Dao Ancestor Hongjun asked me for this wine, I was reluctant to give it to him!"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun chimed in from the side:
"Isn't it because I've been wanting a taste of your wine! Besides, who told you to be so stingy? I've been begging for so long and haven't been able to get a single sip."

Everyone laughed upon hearing this.

After drinking three bowls of wine, Demon Ancestor Rahu looked at Ying Zheng and said:

"Ying Zheng, you've come here today, surely not just for my bar?"

Ying Zheng took a small sip of wine and slowly said:
"I've come today to discuss something important with you. This matter is quite difficult for me."

The fact that even Ying Zheng found it troublesome aroused everyone's curiosity.

After all, Ying Zheng had always been full of confidence when facing the three of them before, and had never shown such an expression.

"What exactly is it? We are all ears."

"That's what Dao Ancestor Hongjun said."

Ying Zheng then told Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the other two everything he had seen that day.

After hearing Ying Zheng's words, all three of them showed expressions of shock.

"Are you sure you didn't see wrong? He really did that?"

Ancestor Yangmei couldn't help but ask.

Ying Zheng shook his head and drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp.

This matter truly surprised even Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the other two.

"When I sensed the fluctuations in the primordial world, I initially thought it was because the three of you couldn't resist attacking again. I never expected..."

Ying Zheng spoke to the three of them without any hesitation.

Upon hearing this, Dao Ancestor Hongjun said:
"How could that be? Since we let go back then, why would we have any other thoughts?"

Demon Ancestor Rahu and Ancestor Yangmei also chimed in:
"Exactly. You're thinking too much of us. We wouldn't do something like that."

Ying Zheng nodded, and then said:
"When we arrived, we discovered that it wasn't the three of you who did it. If it were you, it would have been much easier to handle. But... it wasn't you."

These words made the three of them somewhat unhappy.

"There's something wrong with what you're saying. What do you mean by saying it would be much easier if there were three of us?"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun immediately spoke.

Ying Zheng also realized that he had spoken inappropriately. After all, it had only been nearly a million years since the three of them ceased to be enemies.

Nowadays, we live separate lives.

Ying Zheng clasped his hands in a fist salute to the three men and said:

"Sorry, I forgot. We've been fighting for so long, I just assumed it was you guys who did it. Please forgive me."

The three men's expressions softened slightly upon hearing Ying Zheng's words.

"Don't try to pin all sorts of accusations on the three of us anymore. We're the good guys now, okay?"

Yangmei Patriarch said to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng stood up, filled his bowl with wine, and addressed the crowd:
"I misspoke just now. Come, let me toast you all."

Seeing Ying Zheng's actions, the crowd stopped arguing and stood up.

"Just pretend I didn't say anything. After this drink, let's put it behind us and never mention it again."

"That's what Dao Ancestor Hongjun said."

Immediately, the four of them drank the wine in their bowls in one gulp.

Demon Ancestor Rahu said to Ying Zheng:
"Why are you telling us this? What do you want us to do for you?"

Demon Ancestor Rahu knew perfectly well that Ying Zheng's visit was not merely to inform him of this matter, but must have had another purpose.

Ying Zheng poured himself another bowl of wine.

"It seems my little scheme couldn't escape your notice."

Ying Zheng smiled slightly at the Demon Ancestor Rahu, then drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.

After putting down his wine cup, Ying Zheng stopped beating around the bush and directly stated his purpose.

"I have come to you today hoping that you can lend me a hand. After all, I am not very confident that I can completely defeat him on my own."

Upon hearing Ying Zheng's words, everyone present fell silent.

After all, Ying Zheng and the three of them were enemies before, and now that he has suddenly come to them for help, they need some time to process it.

Ultimately, it was Dao Ancestor Hongjun who broke the deadlock. (End of Chapter)
