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

"You will all merge your own Dao power and a portion of your essence into my body in a moment. Success or failure hinges on this."

The remnant soul of Pangu spoke to the ancestral witches standing in the twelve directions.

As soon as he finished speaking, the remnant soul of Pangu entered his body and merged with his physical form.

Seeing that Pangu's remnant soul had been successfully integrated, Houtu and the others began to slowly inject their own Dao power into Pangu's body.

As the twelve streams of power continued to flow in, slow changes began to occur within Pangu's body.

Immediately afterwards, a faint throbbing came from Pangu's heart, and a glimmer of life quietly emerged.

The twelve ancestral witches continued to infuse their Dao power into Pangu's body.

The remnant soul of Pangu then manipulated these Dao powers, allowing them to circulate throughout the meridians, nourishing every inch of flesh and blood.

After receiving instructions from Pangu, Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou also set off from their respective Dao Palaces and infiltrated the vicinity of the Wu Clan.

……

Just as the great project of resurrecting Pangu was in full swing, Ying Zheng and others had just finished their banquet.

As the banquet drew to a close, Ying Zheng thought back carefully—he had drunk a full ten cups of fiery liquor, and his head was feeling a little dizzy.

He tried to dispel the intoxication with his Daoist power, but found that even circulating his energy was weak and powerless. So he simply gave up resisting.

It had been far too long since he had a proper rest. The days of fighting and killing had lasted far too long, and now that everything had returned to peace, Ying Zheng could finally relax completely.

He no longer tried to resist the intoxication with his Dao power, and the intoxication instantly surged into his heart. Ying Zheng even walked with a slightly unsteady gait.

Seeing this, Huo Ling'er quickly went to Ying Zheng's side and helped him up:
"Ying Zheng, how many cups did you drink? How did you get so drunk?"

Although Ying Zheng was drunk, he could still tell who was around him.

He removed his arm from Huo Ling'er's shoulder and said to her:
"I'm fine. It's just that your alcohol is too strong. I'll be fine after a night's rest."

After saying that, he found Donghuang Taiyi and asked him to help him up.

Throughout the banquet, Donghuang Taiyi's gaze remained fixed on Huo Ling'er, and he barely drank any of the fiery wine.

Therefore, not many people present were sober; Donghuang Taiyi was one of them.

When Ying Zheng came over, Donghuang Taiyi wanted to push him away—he was still thinking of helping Huo Ling'er.

But Ying Zheng immediately clung to him. Donghuang Taiyi hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided that Ying Zheng was more important. So he helped Ying Zheng up and walked step by step toward his residence.

Seeing that Ying Zheng was so drunk and had no interest in her, Huo Ling'er couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Kong Xuan noticed Huo Ling'er's change and stepped forward, whispering:
"These things can't be rushed. We have to take it slowly, like boiling a frog in lukewarm water. You can't rush things."

Huo Ling'er nodded to Kong Xuan.

However, upon further reflection, she realized that Ying Zheng had no improper thoughts about anyone when he was drunk, which only strengthened her resolve to like him.

Such upright and virtuous people are rare to find!

If Ying Zheng knew what Huo Ling'er was thinking, he would probably admire her comprehension.

Seeing Donghuang Taiyi supporting Ying Zheng, and remembering that Donghuang Taiyi hadn't drunk much wine, Huo Ling'er went over and asked:

"Um... Ying Zheng is in this state, are you still planning to leave in a little while?"

Donghuang Taiyi listened and pondered for a moment.

It was indeed agreed that he would leave after the banquet. But given Ying Zheng's current state, Donghuang Taiyi was really worried about letting him travel.

"Let's stay here for another day or two. We'll leave when he's sober. I'm not comfortable with him like this."

Hearing Donghuang Taiyi say this, Huo Ling'er was overjoyed.

Ying Zheng isn't leaving tonight, at least! I can finally spend a few more days with him!

"Alright, take him to get some rest. I'll come see you tomorrow morning."

Huo Ling'er looked at Donghuang Taiyi with a big smile on her face.

When Donghuang Taiyi saw Huo Ling'er smiling at him, he quickly agreed:
"No problem! Don't worry about Ying Zheng! Remember to come see me tomorrow morning!"

Huo Ling'er smiled when she heard Donghuang Taiyi say that, and went straight back to her palace.

Seeing Huo Ling'er leave, Kong Xuan and Donghuang Taiyi helped Ying Zheng up.

"Why don't you chase after them? What are you still standing here for?" Donghuang Taiyi looked at Kong Xuan.

Kong Xuan sighed:

"We both know perfectly well that Huo Ling'er is in love with Ying Zheng. We have no chance with either of us, so why should we rush headlong into a fire pit?"

After listening to Kong Xuan's words, Donghuang Taiyi sighed softly and said to Kong Xuan:
“What you said makes sense. But Huo Ling’er is truly sincere towards Ying Zheng, so there’s absolutely no chance for us.”

Donghuang Taiyi and Kong Xuan supported Ying Zheng on either side as they walked towards his residence.

Walking along the road, Donghuang Taiyi couldn't help but ask Kong Xuan:

"How much did Ying Zheng drink? How did he get so drunk? His alcohol tolerance shouldn't be that low, right?"

Kong Xuan smiled and explained to Donghuang Taiyi:
"The wine here is different from what we usually drink. This wine has a strong aftereffect. Just look at what Ying Zheng is like normally, and then look at him now, and you'll understand."

At this moment, Ying Zheng was already unconscious. He had been drinking alone in silence, and now his eyes were glazed over and he was delirious.

Upon entering the room, Donghuang Taiyi and Kong Xuan worked together to help Ying Zheng to the bedside. Ying Zheng collapsed onto the bed like a lump of mud.

"Look at his behavior, it's hilarious."

Kong Xuan pointed at Ying Zheng, who was lying on the bed, and said to Donghuang Taiyi.

Kong Xuan and Donghuang Taiyi hadn't seen Ying Zheng this drunk in tens of millions of years. Usually, it was the two of them who got drunk, while Ying Zheng remained perfectly sober.

But this time, they were so busy looking at Huo Ling'er that they didn't drink much wine, while Ying Zheng drank non-stop by himself.

"Yes, it's been a long time since I've seen him like this. Let him get some rest."

Seeing Ying Zheng in this state, Donghuang Taiyi felt a pang of sympathy.

For tens of millions of years, Ying Zheng never stopped; he was either cultivating or waging war, never having a moment's rest.

"I hope nothing else happens over there."

Kong Xuan asked Donghuang Taiyi a question.

Donghuang Taiyi thought for a moment and replied:

"Now, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Demon Ancestor Luohou, and Yangmei Ancestor have all surrendered."

"Moreover, Pangu has already perished, so there shouldn't be any major events in the primordial world."

Kong Xuan was relieved to learn that all threats had been eliminated.

"It's good that you're alright. You've been playing for so long, you should take a good rest."

Donghuang Taiyi nodded to Kong Xuan.

"Alright, it's getting late, let's take a break. We can't keep chatting until tomorrow morning, can we?"

Kong Xuan yawned and said to Donghuang Taiyi.

"Then let's go to sleep! There's nothing else to do anyway, let's just sleep."

After saying that, Donghuang Taiyi lay down on the bed.

Seeing how quickly Donghuang Taiyi moved, Kong Xuan smiled, poured himself a cup of water, drank it, and then lay down to sleep.

……

As the power of the twelve ancestral witches continuously flowed into Pangu's body, Pangu's remnant soul was using a secret technique to retain this power within itself, bit by bit.

"Keep channeling your Dao power into my body, don't stop! Otherwise, everything we've done before will be in vain."

The remnant soul of Pangu transmitted a message to the twelve ancestral witches.

Upon hearing this, the ancestral witches dared not slacken their efforts and continued to pour their own Dao power into Pangu's body.

"This process will take at least six hours. If your Dao power is insufficient during the process, take Dao pills. Don't be stingy, use them as much as you can." Pangu's remnant soul instructed the twelve Ancestral Witches.

In the process of helping Pangu to recover, many ancestral witches almost couldn't hold on and were only able to continue to transmit their Dao power by consuming Dao pills.

At this moment, all is peaceful outside the Witch Clan, but danger lurks beneath this peace.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou have been controlled by the remnant soul of Pangu and are hiding at the entrance of the Wu Clan, awaiting Pangu's instructions.

At this moment, the two of them were like puppets, silently guarding the witch clan.

"Father God, what should we do if Ying Zheng arrives midway?"

Houtu, the ancestral witch, transmitted her voice to the remnant soul of Pangu and asked him a question.

"You don't need to worry about Ying Zheng, I have my own arrangements. Just focus on doing your own thing."

Pangu's voice echoed in Houtu's mind.

Houtu said no more and continued to channel her own Dao power into Pangu's body.

……

In the far north, in the frigid lands, Bai Bing said to the old clan chief:
"Clan leader, do you think Brother Ying Zheng still remembers us? So much time has passed, surely he hasn't forgotten us?"

The old clan chief gazed into the distance and said softly to Bai Bing:

"If he cares, he will remember. If he doesn't care, what good is it if he remembers?"

Bai Bing's gaze followed the old patriarch as he looked into the distance, as if waiting for the return of that old friend.

……

"Bang bang bang!"

A knock sounded at Ying Zheng's door.

"Kong Xuan, are you awake? I've made some soup for you and brought it over."

A sweet voice came from outside the door.

Kong Xuan woke up groggily and slowly opened the door. Huo Ling'er appeared before him.

Why are you here?

Kong Xuan rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked at Huo Ling'er in front of him, asking a question.

Huo Ling'er stood outside the door carrying three bowls of soup, looking at Kong Xuan with a resentful expression:

"Didn't you see what I'm holding? Aren't you going to let me in and sit down? Or do you want me to keep standing outside?"

Upon hearing Huo Ling'er's words, Kong Xuan realized what was happening and quickly made way for her to come in.

"Sorry, I just woke up and didn't notice."

Kong Xuan looked at Huo Ling'er apologetically and said.

Huo Ling'er placed three bowls of soup on the table, looked at Ying Zheng who was still asleep, and quietly walked to his bedside.

She reached out her slender hand and gently stroked the hair beside Ying Zheng's cheek.

Huo Ling'er turned to look at Kong Xuan standing beside her and asked:
"They slept like that all night? Why aren't they up yet?"

Kong Xuan scratched his head and smiled as he said to Huo Ling'er:
"It's because the fiery liquor here is too strong; those two have been sleeping until now and still haven't woken up."

Indeed, an ordinary person can sleep for three days straight after drinking two cups of fiery liquor.

"Then wake them up. I don't know how to get them out of bed. I've made some hangover soup, so wake them up and have some."

Huo Ling'er said to Kong Xuan, who was standing beside her.

Kong Xuan nodded, walked to Ying Zheng's bedside, and patted him on the shoulder:

"Get up, come and have some hangover soup, don't sleep anymore."

Ying Zheng felt someone calling him and slowly opened his eyes. What came into view were Kong Xuan and Huo Ling'er.

Why are you two up so early? Aren't you going to sleep a little longer?

Ying Zheng slowly sat up and looked at Kong Xuan and Huo Ling'er beside him.

"I made you some hangover soup, come and have some."

Huo Ling'er had Kong Xuan bring over a bowl of hangover soup and handed it to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng took the hangover soup handed to him by Kong Xuan, smelled it, thought it tasted pretty good, and drank it all in one gulp.

Huo Ling'er burst out laughing when she saw Ying Zheng finish his drink in one gulp:
"Drink slowly, don't rush, no one's going to take it from you, there's plenty more over there."

Huo Ling'er said to Ying Zheng.

Kong Xuan went to Donghuang Taiyi's bedside and woke him up.

Donghuang Taiyi looked at Kong Xuan beside him and asked with a puzzled expression:
"Why did you wake me up? It's still early, don't you want to sleep a little longer?"

Kong Xuan pointed to Huo Ling'er beside him and said to Donghuang Taiyi:
"Huoling'er has brought us some hangover soup. She wants you to get up and drink some. If you don't want to drink it, then you can continue sleeping."

Donghuang Taiyi then noticed that Huo Ling'er was in the room, and sat up:

"How can I not drink it? Could you bring me that bowl of hangover soup so I can have a taste?"

Kong Xuan rolled his eyes at Donghuang Taiyi:
"Don't you have hands? You expect me to bring it to you? You wish!"

After saying this, Kong Xuan left Donghuang Taiyi's side, went to Huo Luan's side, and woke him up.

"Get up and have some hangover soup, Huo Ling'er brought it."

Kong Xuan's voice rang in Huo Luan's ears.

After Huo Luan got up, she sat down at the table, picked up a bowl of hangover soup, and started drinking it.

"You really don't stand on ceremony at all, you just picked it up and drank it straight away."

Kong Xuan, who was standing to the side, said to Huo Luan, who was drinking soup.

Huo Luan finished the hangover soup in her bowl before slowly saying to Kong Xuan:
"It's served to people to drink, so why wouldn't they drink it? Don't you think so?"

Huo Luan's words left Kong Xuan speechless, as what he said did indeed make sense.

When Donghuang Taiyi saw that Kong Xuan hadn't served him any soup, he stood up, walked to the table, picked up the hangover soup, and drank it all in one gulp.

After Ying Zheng finished drinking the hangover soup in the bowl, he handed it to Huo Ling'er, who was standing beside him:
Why did you suddenly come over so early in the morning?

Huo Ling'er took Ying Zheng's bowl and placed it on the table, saying to him:
“I saw that you drank quite a bit last night, so I got up this morning to make you some hangover soup.”

Ying Zheng listened and nodded to Huo Ling'er.

"Where are the others?"

Ying Zheng turned to look at the people in the room and asked.

"Oh dear, you've been drinking, your head isn't working properly anymore. They're right inside, I was just asking you how many of them there were!"

Ying Zheng gave an awkward smile and looked at Huo Ling'er beside him.

"Now that you're all up, how about I take you for a tour of our capital?"

Huo Ling'er made the suggestion to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng got out of bed, straightened his clothes, and asked Donghuang Taiyi and the others:

"Huo Ling'er said she'd show us around here. Do you want to come along, or should we head back now?"

After hearing Ying Zheng's words, Donghuang Taiyi walked up to him and said:

"We're both fine. Anyway, there's nothing going on in the Primordial World right now, so it's nice to take a stroll around."

Huo Luan rolled her eyes at Donghuang Taiyi after hearing his words.

"Didn't you complain about the heat here and want to go back immediately? Why do you want to wander around here now?" (End of Chapter)
