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

"Hahaha!" These divine thoughts were overjoyed.

"But we must not let our guard down. We must hold the Hongmeng Grand Array. As long as we hold out until the Spirit God Universe collapses, we will have won!" Immortal Venerable Hongluo reminded them.

"What the Immortal Venerable says is absolutely right!" The divine thoughts of all the Venerables echoed in agreement.

"By the way, now that our assassination has succeeded, the Spirit God Universe will surely be furious. We must be careful to guard against their retaliation!" Venerable Mahade also reminded.

“That is natural,” all the Venerables replied.

After Ying Zheng and his group succeeded in their assassination attempt, the Hongmeng Universe anticipated a large-scale retaliatory attack.

However, the reality was beyond the expectations of the Venerables; the Spirit God Universe suddenly fell silent. Apart from a Great Creator God guarding the end of the passage and continuously bombarding the cosmic passage, there was no other movement.

Everything seemed to have returned to the state it was in before Ying Zheng and his men took action.

But this time, all the venerable beings of the Hongmeng Universe vaguely sensed that the enemy was probably brewing an even greater attack!

Since Ying Zheng, the Great Mighty Saint Venerable, and the Martial Profound Emperor Venerable had all suffered serious injuries, after their return, the four powerful figures, including the Crimson Luo Immortal Venerable and the Ice Cold Absolute Venerable, remained to guard the Hongmeng Grand Array. Ying Zheng and the other two left the Hongmeng Grand Array and returned to various parts of the Hongmeng Universe to recuperate.

In addition, many Primordial Supremes guarding various positions in the great formation were replaced and sent back to recuperate.

The Vermilion Bird Spirit Platform Star Region initially dispatched over a thousand Supreme Beings to the area. These Supreme Beings arrived to guard against the possibility of a gap in the defensive forces caused by the failure of the assassination attempt by Immortal Venerable Crimson Luo and his group.

Now that their operation has succeeded, the Hongmeng Formation no longer needs so many people to guard it.

Therefore, any surplus personnel can naturally be rotated back to rest and recuperate.

The personnel being rotated out this time were mainly from the Vermilion Bird Spirit Platform Star Region and the Jupiter Great Region. This was because they could return with Ying Zheng and his entourage.

In the Vermilion Bird Spirit Platform Starfield, most of the Supreme Beings who were relieved of their posts were not highly skilled.

Most of them had only recently attained the Primordial Supreme level, their cultivation was average, and they didn't possess any Primordial Treasures. Their combat strength was basically at the lowest level among the Primordial Supremes. Although there were many of these Supremes, their significance was minimal.

The Primordial Sovereigns who were relieved of their posts in the Jupiter Domain were all those who had been guarding the Primordial Array for a long time, having served for over a billion years before finally being relieved.

This time, Ying Zheng had a slight selfish motive.

He also brought back the four deities: Nuwa, Jiu Lu, You Han, and Dan Chenzi.

As for Shi Mang, Tianhuang Grand Venerable, and Xichen Supreme Venerable, due to their extremely high cultivation levels, they were, to some extent, among the main forces guarding the Hongmeng Grand Array. Ying Zheng couldn't bring himself to ask Hongluo Immortal Venerable to let them return.

He even had a feeling that if he really suggested that Shi Mang and the others go back, Immortal Venerable Hongluo would most likely refuse.

Shi Mang and his group have only been here for less than 20 million years. Normally, only supreme beings who have guarded the Hongmeng Array for billions of years get a turn to rotate.

As for Ying Zheng himself, he was just a special case.

He was injured and needed to go into seclusion to refine the corrosive power within his body. Otherwise, he would have had to stay and guard the Primordial Chaos Array.

He was, after all, just a newcomer.

Saint Venerable Daweide and Immortal Venerable Hongluo have been guarding the Hongmeng Array for hundreds of billions of years, and have never changed their posts or taken a break in all those years.

It is precisely because of this that, although other Primordial Supremes of the Vermilion Bird Spirit Platform Starfield have never visited over the years, the Supremes of other major domains have had no objections.

The Primordial Supremes of the Vermilion Bird Spirit Platform Starfield are basically disciples of the Crimson Luo Immortal Venerable and others; they shoulder everything for their disciples.

When they arrived at the Primordial Chaos Array, Ying Zheng and his entourage traveled in the Supreme Palace. This time, on their return, Ying Zheng again used the Supreme Palace.

This time, however, he personally took control of the Supreme Palace.

Like the Ice-Cold Supreme, he gathered the many Supremes from the Vermilion Bird Spirit Platform Starfield who had been relieved of their duties into the Supreme Palace, and then with a slap, he threw the Supreme Palace into the River of Time and Space, and proceeded along the newly opened River of Time and Space.

Just as Ice Cold Venerable and the others had said, the Supreme Palace was indeed incredibly heavy. He could only rely on brute force to pull and throw it!

It is simply impossible to use magic to capture this object and subdue the priest.

If the mana required for an ordinary Primordial Treasure is one unit, then the mana required for the Primordial Supreme Hall is at least ten thousand!
In other words, one needs the magical power to simultaneously wield ten thousand Primordial Treasures in order to barely be able to wield the Supreme Palace.

This is something no normal person could do. Even a peak-level expert of the Primordial Chaos Realm couldn't do it.

Moreover, if one truly possessed such vast magical power, there would be no need to invoke the Supreme Palace; a single palm strike would be enough to kill anything!
Riding the Supreme Palace, Ying Zheng traveled along the river of time and space. After returning to the Vermilion Bird Spirit Platform Starfield, he released all the Venerables. As for the Supreme Palace, Ying Zheng still left it in the void.

Ying Zheng suddenly swung his arm, lifting the massive Supreme Palace as if it were a heavy object, and then hurled it heavily into the void.

Rumble!
The ancient bronze gate crashed into the void with a deafening roar, causing the entire Void Realm to tremble.

"My God!" Ying Zheng exclaimed inwardly, pondering to himself.

If this Supreme Palace were used to smash people, I'm afraid that with a single blow, not to mention an ordinary Primordial Supreme, even a peak Primordial Supreme expert would find it difficult to withstand.

But nobody's stupid. If such a huge thing comes crashing down, even if you can't withstand it, you can still dodge it.

"We have returned to the Origin Realm! Everyone may now return to their respective places!"

After setting down the Supreme Palace, Ying Zheng spoke loudly to the many Supremes in the void.

As soon as he finished speaking, all the dignitaries showed expressions of awe and nodded in response, saying, "We will obey the decree of the Supreme Emperor Ying Zheng!"

Before heading to Hongmeng City, Ying Zheng had already become famous in the Origin Realm, also known as the Vermilion Bird Spirit Platform Star Region, and was comparable to the old monsters in the Origin Realm.

Now, he walks side by side with the Great Vajra Holy Venerable, ruling the Supreme Palace, and his cultivation level has far exceeded their imagination.

"Hmm." Ying Zheng nodded slightly in agreement.

Immediately afterwards, the supreme beings who had followed him back transformed into streaks of light and departed.

There are over four hundred of these Supreme Beings, all of whom are relatively low-level Primordial Supreme Beings in the Origin Realm. They have only recently attained the Primordial Supreme Being status and do not even possess any Primordial Treasures. Therefore, their combat strength and cultivation are quite limited.

There was no point in them staying in the Hongmeng Formation, so Ying Zheng sent them back to continue their cultivation.

After the various deities transformed into streaks of light and departed, only Ying Zheng, the Great Vajra Saint, Nuwa, and others remained at the scene. "Saint, it has been a long time since you returned to the Lingtai Star Region. Do you have anywhere to go?" Ying Zheng asked the Great Vajra Saint. "If possible, Saint, you might as well go to the Great Saint Realm to stay temporarily."

The Crimson Immortal Venerable and the Great Mighty Saint Venerable have been gone from the Origin Realm for billions of years, and their Daoist temples have never been heard of in the Origin Realm. Therefore, Ying Zheng guessed that their Daoist temples had probably long since been annihilated by the endless years.

However, the Great Vajra Saint simply smiled and said, "It's alright. The temple still exists, it's just buried in the void of the realm. Now that billions of years have passed, it's time for it to see the light of day again."

"That's excellent." Ying Zheng nodded in agreement.

Then, as if he had thought of something, Ying Zheng hesitated for a moment before saying to the Great Vajra Saint Venerable, "By the way, Saint Venerable, there has always been someone I wanted to entrust to you, but I haven't found a suitable opportunity yet."

"Who is it?" the Holy One of Vajra asked with some confusion.

Ying Zheng didn't say anything more. He simply waved his hand, and a figure was released from the Hongmeng Glazed Pagoda.

The figure appeared suddenly, immediately radiating a terrifying and ferocious aura. It roared, its arms flailing wildly—it was none other than the Corpse Monster Chang Yanzi!

Although Chang Yanzi is dead, his ferocity remains overwhelming!
However, Ying Zheng was no longer the same as before. With a single slap, he firmly pinned down the corpse monster Chang Yanzi.

Chang Yanzi struggled, his arms pounding wildly at Ying Zheng's hands, but he couldn't hurt him in the slightest.

If Chang Yanzi were still alive, he might still have a chance to challenge Ying Zheng, but now he is just a shell of a corpse, and his true strength may be less than one percent of what it used to be!

If Chang Yanzi had not died, even if his true strength had not reached the Great Perfection of the Primordial Supreme, it would have been enough to rank him among the top five of the current Origin Realm Supremes.

"Junior Brother Changyanzi!" Even the Great Mighty Saint Venerable was stunned upon seeing the Corpse Monster Changyanzi.

Then, a look of sorrow involuntarily appeared on his face, and tears streamed down his face.

“I discovered the Supreme Being Changyanzi while exploring the Origin Realm. He is probably wandering around the Vermilion Bird Supreme Being Star Realm,” Ying Zheng said.

Faced with Ying Zheng's words, the Great Mighty Saint Venerable nodded while shedding tears, saying, "During the Great Calamity of the Origin Realm, my junior brother happened to be away from the Lingtai Star Region visiting friends!"

"Junior brother! Junior brother!" The Great Vajra Holy Venerable called out Chang Yanzi's name.

At his call, the mindless, crazed, and violent corpse monster Changyanzi suddenly stopped struggling. Moreover, a look of sorrow appeared on each of their faces, and even tears of blood fell!

"Big...Senior Brother...Senior...Brother..."

The corpse monster's remaining mouths were all open and closed, emitting hoarse and painful sounds.

Seeing that the Corpse Monster Changyanzi had stopped struggling, Ying Zheng slowly released him. With him and the Great Mighty Saint Venerable present, he was not afraid that the Corpse Monster Changyanzi would cause trouble or escape.

"He seems to still have some memory," Youhan whispered beside Ying Zheng.

"Wasn't his body pieced together from the corpses of several supreme beings?" Jiu Lu said softly as well.

"Is it because Supreme Changyanzi has a high level of cultivation that the corpse monsters are led by him?" Nuwa asked Ying Zheng.

"I don't know." Ying Zheng simply shook his head.

He really didn't know anything about Changyanzi's situation.

He originally brought Changyanzi back because he thought Changyanzi seemed to still have some intelligence and memory, so he wanted to take him back to show the old ancestor Cansha.

After all, everything can be imbued with a spirit. Not to mention corpses becoming spirits, even bones can become spirits. Therefore, Ying Zheng wondered if, given enough time and with the help of external forces, the corpse monsters of Changyanzi could develop mature intelligence.

Unfortunately, it was delayed later. Although Ying Zheng wanted to hand Chang Yanzi over to Hong Luo Immortal Venerable and the others at the Hongmeng Grand Array, he never found the opportunity until now.

"I wonder if Supreme Changyanzi can be restored to his original state?" Dan Chenzi asked after a moment's hesitation.

"I don't know." Ying Zheng shook his head, expressing his helplessness.

"It's no use." The Great Mighty Saint shook his head sadly, but still bowed to Ying Zheng to express his gratitude. "However, I still thank Fellow Daoist Ying Zheng for bringing him back."

"Although the Changyanzi of the past can never return, as long as the evil spirit and hatred in his body are refined and slowly nurtured over time, the memories remaining in his body and the newly formed intelligence should be able to re-form a new consciousness."

“But…” the Great Lord of Mighty Virtue sighed, “Even if it is successful, the new Changyanzi will no longer be Changyanzi.”

"Junior brother, junior brother, should I bury you or..." The last sentence seemed to be spoken by the Great Vajra Holy Venerable to the corpse monster of Changyanzi.

"Senior...Senior Brother...Brother...Senior Brother!!"

The corpse monster of Changyanzi called out the name of the Great Mighty Holy Venerable once again, but suddenly his expression turned ferocious and fierce!

"Kill!!" He roared to the sky, his ferocious aura swirling wildly, and terrifying corpse energy and malevolent energy surged forth, sweeping across billions of miles!
The Corpse Monster Changyanzi wildly waved its arms, unleashing a torrent of fist light and palm prints as it lunged towards the Great Mighty Saint.

"Junior brother...!"

With a sorrowful expression, the Great Mighty Venerable pressed down with a single palm, immobilizing the corpse monster Changyanzi in place and rendering it unable to move.

Then, after a moment's hesitation, as if finally making up his mind, he suddenly unleashed boundless and vast magical power. The divine might of a peak supreme being surged like a tide, and surging Dao power poured out from his palms, flowing into the corpse monster's body!
As the Great Mighty Saint Venerable made his move, a terrifying aura spread rampantly, filling the entire void. This was the power possessed by a great being who had reached the pinnacle of the Hongmeng Universe.

"What is this?!" Nuwa and the others were all shocked.

"It is the Holy Venerable refining the Corpse Fiend Qi within Chang Yanzi's body!" Ying Zheng explained.

He could see clearly that the Great Mighty Holy Venerable was using his supreme magical power to gradually refine the corpse-evil energy within Chang Yanzi's body.

These corpse-evil energies are the negative emotions such as resentment and hatred of the deceased before their death. Over the long years, they absorb various negative energies from heaven and earth and the universe, and are brewed within the corpse.

It was the influence of these corpse-evil energies that made Changyanzi so fierce and violent.

Chang Yanzi's current situation is quite strange. He is already dead, but the memories remaining in his body have given rise to some new intelligence.

However, he was pieced together from numerous corpses, and the memories remaining within his body did not belong solely to Chang Yanzi, but were a mixture of many people's memories. This is the reason for his madness.

These memories come from different supreme beings, intertwined and chaotic.

The chaotic and fragmented memories, coupled with the influence of the corpse's aura, have created the current corpse monster, Chang Yanzi. (End of Chapter)
