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

"Actually, what you're talking about has little to do with the three of us anymore. We've long since stopped caring about worldly affairs and no longer fight or compete for anything."

Demon Ancestor Rahu and Ancestor Yangmei nodded in agreement.

Ying Zheng sighed deeply and spoke slowly.

“I understand that it was rather abrupt of me to come to you today. But I really need your help.”

Ancestor Yangmei took over the conversation.

Whether or not this primordial world is released, it doesn't really affect the three of us much. Why should we get involved in this mess with you?

Ying Zheng shook his head slightly after hearing what Yang Mei Ancestor said.

"If he truly unleashes the primordial world completely, the first to perish will be people like us. We are bound to be stumbling blocks on his path."

Ying Zheng explained earnestly to Ancestor Yang Mei.

Only then did Daozu, Hongjun, and the other two realize that they had indeed overlooked this point.

When the three of them wanted to unleash the primordial world, the biggest obstacle was Ying Zheng and his group.

Moreover, they all occupy the vast majority of the Great Dao. When they reap the Great Dao from all living beings, those who have attained the Dao will be the first to suffer.

After a long silence, Dao Ancestor Hongjun suddenly spoke.

"In fact, Ying Zheng's words make sense. At that time, we will be his biggest obstacle, and he will definitely try every means to get rid of us."

After a moment's thought, Demon Ancestor Rahu and Ancestor Yangmei also felt that what Ying Zheng said was indeed reasonable.

"Then tell us what you need us to do. Just say what you want to say; none of us here are fools."

The Demon Ancestor Rahu spoke to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng did not immediately reveal his plan, but instead poured another bowl of wine.

"Let's talk about this later. Come on, let's have a drink first."

Seeing Ying Zheng's reaction, everyone picked up their wine bowls.

This matter was indeed more troublesome than ever before for Ying Zheng, after all, the opponent's strength had once been so great that it was despair-inducing.

“This matter is indeed difficult to handle. When I faced him back then, he was just a primordial spirit, and I could barely withstand his attacks.”

Demon Ancestor Rahu addressed the crowd.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun nodded. He had witnessed the entire battle between Demon Ancestor Luo Hou and that person.

“Back then you barely managed to withstand his attack, but now, a million years later, his strength must have increased considerably.”

Daoist Hongjun added.

"And in these millions of years, neither you nor I have continued to cultivate, and our strength has stagnated. We are probably no longer his match."

When Yang Mei, the Old Ancestor, heard what Dao Ancestor Hongjun said, he couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

"Look, this is the consequence of you not cultivating. But I have been cultivating for the past million years. Ying Zheng, you certainly haven't been idle either, have you?"

Yangmei Patriarch said to Ying Zheng.

Hearing Yang Mei Patriarch tease Demon Ancestor Rahu and Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Ying Zheng couldn't help but smile.

"I didn't expect that you two would actually give up completely and prepare for things to fall into place naturally."

Ying Zheng spoke to Demon Ancestor Rahu and Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

The two exchanged a smile and said nothing more.

"Over the past million years, I have completely mastered the river of fate. Now, when facing him, I finally have the strength to fight. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to ask for his help."

Ying Zheng spoke frankly to the three men.

Since he had come to ask for help, Ying Zheng also revealed his trump card.

If we don't do this, it will seem like we're not being sincere enough.

When Daozu Hongjun and the other two heard that Ying Zheng had completely mastered the River of Destiny, they all showed surprise.

"You really have completely mastered the River of Destiny? My God, I've only mastered 80% of the River of Time and Space."

Yangmei Patriarch said with some disbelief.

"Yeah, how did you do that? You actually managed to completely control the river of fate."

Dao Ancestor Hongjun also asked the question.

Faced with the questions from Ancestor Yangmei and Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Ying Zheng simply smiled.

"I can only say I was lucky. I never thought I would be able to completely control the river of fate within a million years."

When the Demon Ancestor Rahu saw Ying Zheng's humility, he revealed a disdainful expression.

"What's the point of hiding things now that things have come to this? Why be so humble?"

Seeing the Demon Ancestor Rahu in this state, Ying Zheng felt quite helpless.

It wasn't that he was being deliberately modest; rather, a small accident did indeed occur when he was in control of his destiny.

It was this little accident that, by a twist of fate, allowed him to completely take control of the river of destiny. So, it really was just luck.

"It really was just luck. I'm sure that before long, Yang Mei, you will also be able to completely master the River of Time."

Ying Zheng spoke to Ancestor Yang Mei.

Seeing that Ying Zheng had completely grasped the river of destiny, Ancestor Yangmei felt an overwhelming sense of envy.

When will I be able to fully grasp the River of Time? The fact that Ying Zheng, a latercomer, had grasped it earlier than me made Ancestor Yangmei feel somewhat embarrassed.

"Alright, in order for us to continue living a leisurely life, I've decided to lend you a hand. It's also a way of helping ourselves."

The Demon Ancestor Rahu spoke to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng was quite surprised to hear these words from the Demon Ancestor Rahu.

He originally thought that Demon Ancestor Rahu would be the hardest to persuade, but unexpectedly, he was the first to step forward.

Seeing that someone was taking the lead, Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Yangmei Ancestor also agreed to Ying Zheng's request, saying that they would lend a hand at that time.

Seeing that all three had agreed to help, Ying Zheng felt a great weight lifted from his shoulders and a smile appeared on his face.

"Thank you all for your great help. I never imagined that the four of us would be fighting side by side one day."

Ying Zheng spoke sincerely to the three of them.

In fact, not only Ying Zheng, but even Dao Ancestor Hongjun never expected that one day he would fight alongside Ying Zheng.

After saying this, Ying Zheng raised his wine cup and offered it to Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the other two.

"Thank you all for your kind help. I'd like to offer you another toast."

The three, including Daozu Hongjun, also raised their cups.

"Dry!"

After persuading the three, Ying Zheng drank heartily with them.

This was the first time Ying Zheng had sat down to drink with his former enemy. But at this moment, they had all put aside their grudges and were only interested in drinking to their hearts' content.

The next day, Ying Zheng took his leave. Before departing, he told Dao Zu, Hongjun, and the other two to wait for his news.

After Ying Zheng left, Ancestor Yangmei asked Demon Ancestor Rahu a question.

"Why were you the first to stand up and say you wanted to help him? You were the one who hated him the most out of the three of us before."

After listening to Yang Mei's words, Demon Ancestor Rahu slowly spoke.

“I helped him, but I also had my own selfish reasons. First, it was so that we could continue to live in this world.”

After saying this, Demon Ancestor Rahu fell silent.

Seeing that he was not going to continue, Ancestor Yangmei couldn't help but press him for more information.

"What's the other point? Why don't you continue? Why did you stop?"

The thing that Yangmei Patriarch hates most is people who only say half of what they mean.

Seeing Yang Mei's impatient appearance, Demon Ancestor Rahu continued.

"Secondly, as he just said, he has completely mastered the River of Destiny. I suspect he may have already touched the threshold of transcendence." Demon Ancestor Rahu paused, then continued.

"Do you think that after we help him, we can ask him what 'transcendence' means? Would he not tell us?"

Upon hearing Demon Ancestor Luo Hou's words, Ancestor Yang Mei finally realized what was happening. Ying Zheng had completely grasped the River of Destiny; he hadn't even considered this aspect before.

"It seems you're still as cunning and calculating as ever. I can't compare to you."

Yangmei Ancestor said to Demon Ancestor Luo Hou.

When Demon Ancestor Rahu heard Yangmei Ancestor's "praise," he simply smiled.

Subsequently, Demon Ancestor Rahu, Yangmei Ancestor, and Dao Ancestor Hongjun returned to Demon Ancestor Rahu's Dao Palace.

……

After returning to his Daoist abode, Ying Zheng began to make intensive preparations for what was to come.

After all, there is quite a lot of preparation needed to deal with this primordial world.

This incident truly caught Ying Zheng off guard. Without thorough preparation, Ying Zheng could not feel at ease.

……

Tens of thousands of years passed after Ying Zheng informed everyone of this news, and the primordial world once again experienced fluctuations.

Sensing the unusual activity in the primordial world, Ying Zheng immediately awoke from his cultivation.

"It seems he's about to make another move. After tens of thousands of years, his strength should have recovered considerably. Now, he must be quite confident."

After saying this, Ying Zheng set off towards the primordial world.

The disturbances in the primordial world also alarmed many Dao-achievers. Upon receiving Ying Zheng's message, everyone rushed to the primordial world.

While Yangmei Patriarch was cultivating, a message suddenly flashed through his mind. He stopped cultivating and stood up.

"It seems he's about to make a move. It's time to stretch our muscles."

Immediately afterwards, Ancestor Yangmei also rushed towards the primordial world.

At this moment, Dao Ancestor Hongjun was having a drink and reminiscing with an old friend when he suddenly received a message from Ying Zheng.

"It seems we won't be able to drink today. Something's happened in the Primordial World, I have to go there."

Dao Ancestor Hongjun said to his old friend.

The man nodded and waved to Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

"Then go ahead and get busy. You've spent a lot of time with me these past few days, but I don't know when we'll see each other again."

Upon hearing his old friend's words, Dao Ancestor Hongjun's face turned somber.

"Perhaps this trip will be my last, and I may never return safely. Well, let's meet again someday."

After saying this, Dao Ancestor Hongjun got up and left, heading towards the Primordial World.

Only the old friend remained, heartbroken.

After receiving Ying Zheng's message, Demon Ancestor Rahu immediately set off for the prehistoric world.

At this moment, the primordial world was fluctuating more and more violently. The barrier that Ying Zheng had set up here was gradually being breached.

"It seems he came prepared this time. The barrier I set up back then is about to collapse, I have to get there quickly."

After saying that, Ying Zheng quickened his pace and sped off towards the primordial world.

……

"I only have this one chance to return to my former glory. I hope Ying Zheng won't stop me, otherwise I'll make sure he never leaves alive."

Beside the primordial world, a phantom was continuously merging its own Dao power into the world.

Before long, Ying Zheng arrived in the primordial world.

"Stop right now! Do you know what you're doing?"

Ying Zheng shouted at the illusory figure.

The phantom looked at Ying Zheng as he arrived and revealed a mocking smile.

"I didn't expect you to still come to stop me. How could I not know what I'm doing? If you try to stop me today, I will make sure you die here."

The phantom spoke to Ying Zheng.

But his hands didn't stop moving.

"You want me to die here? You'd better think twice about your strength. You've betrayed the trust of all of us!"

Ying Zheng stared angrily at the illusory figure.

Upon hearing Ying Zheng's words, the illusory figure burst into laughter. The laughter echoed through the void, lingering for a long time.

"Betrayed your trust? What are you? You're nothing but ants with a little bit of power in this world."

Upon hearing this, Donghuang Taiyi and the others who had rushed over were immediately enraged.

"You call us ants? You're no better than us! You actually want to unleash the primordial chaos again? I think you're tired of living!"

Donghuang Taiyi couldn't help but rebuke him.

The phantom figure watched as the crowd arrived one after another, gradually stopped what it was doing, and turned around to face them.

"Looks like everyone's here. Perfect, I'll wipe you all out in one fell swoop and use you as nourishment to restore me to my peak!"

The phantom looked at Ying Zheng and the others with a greedy expression on its face.

The crowd felt utterly disgusted by the phantom's current state. Former comrades-in-arms were now facing off against each other.

At this moment, Taiqing Daode Tianzun stepped forward and looked at the illusory figure, saying...

"Why did you betray us? Can you tell me why?"

The tone of Taiqing Daode Tianzun grew increasingly heavy, revealing just how furious he was.

Upon hearing the words of the Supreme Celestial Venerable of Morality, the illusory figure turned its gaze toward him.

"Why would I betray you? Do you even have the right to ask? Don't think that just because you are the embodiment of my former spirit, you have anything to do with me. So many years have passed, and I have nothing to do with you anymore."

Upon hearing this, Taiqing Daode Tianzun was furious and couldn't help but rush towards the illusory figure.

However, just as he was about to rush out, Ying Zheng reached out and stopped him.

"You are no match for him now. Going there now would only be a pointless death."

Upon hearing Ying Zheng's words, Taiqing Daode Tianzun's face was filled with terror.

"Is his strength really that formidable? Keep in mind that he hasn't even recovered to his peak condition yet!"

Taiqing Daode Tianzun spoke to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng stared at the illusory figure before him, falling into a long silence.

Even after completely mastering the River of Destiny, Ying Zheng was not entirely confident that he could defeat him.

"This time, we can only do our best to stop him; he is ultimately far stronger than us."

Ying Zheng looked at the illusory figure in front of him and spoke to the people behind him.

"Why are you the only one here? Are you so confident that you can take on all of us alone?"

Ying Zheng stared at the illusory figure in front of him and asked in a deep voice.

"Since you're so eager to see them, then let them come out so you can have a good look at them."

The phantom spoke to Ying Zheng.

As soon as he finished speaking, twelve figures appeared around Ying Zheng and the others.

Looking at the people surrounding them, Donghuang Taiyi and the others felt that it was within their expectations.

The appearance of the twelve ancestral witches, including Gonggong and Zhurong, instantly froze the atmosphere at the scene.

Ying Zheng looked at the twelve Ancestral Witches who had appeared and said to them:
"Don't you understand the consequences that will follow the reappearance of the primordial world? It is no longer the Pangu of the past." (End of Chapter)
