Then, with a sweep of his hand, he restored the Sea of ​​Hatred, which had been shattered by Shi Mang and Bai Long, to its original state.

The battle between Shi Mang and Bai Long has now come to an end.

After this battle, the various lords naturally dispersed, and Ying Zheng and his group were no exception.

After returning to the Great Sage Realm, Shi Mang went into seclusion once again. Judging from his appearance, after defeating the White Dragon, he had finally resolved this long-standing worry, and his mind was completely at peace. From then on, he focused solely on cultivation.

After Bai Long was defeated in that great battle, although Shi Mang spared his life, he did not choose to return to the Douluo Realm.

Instead, they quietly disappeared, their whereabouts unknown ever since.

But Ying Zheng knew in his heart that the white dragon had gone to the Crimson Luo Immortal Realm. He had once again become a disciple of the Crimson Luo Immortal Venerable, diligently listening to the Immortal Venerable's teachings and focusing on cultivation.

Things have come to a satisfactory conclusion. At least, that's how Ying Zheng sees it.

……

The road stretches far and wide, and time flies by.

In the blink of an eye, another long year has quietly passed.

In the Great Sage Realm, within Ying Zheng's Daoist temple.

In one place, the vast chaotic essence surged and churned, and then a clear laugh came from the secluded cultivation place: "Haha, I have finally cultivated into a Primordial Dao Saint!"

With laughter, the chaotic energy gradually subsided. After a while, a beam of light shot into the sky, heading straight for Ying Zheng's residence.

Within the Daoist temple, celestial treasures abound, and spiritual plants are everywhere, all rare and precious gems rarely seen in the Lingtai Starfield.

Among these celestial herbs and flowers stood an octagonal pavilion. Inside the pavilion, Ying Zheng was playing chess with the Great Mighty Saint, while Nuwa watched quietly from the sidelines.

Ying Zheng played the white pieces, while the Great Mighty Saint Venerable played the black pieces.

The Great Vajra Deity looked at the chessboard with a relaxed and contented expression. He held a cup of tea in his hand, sipping it while smiling broadly, clearly confident of victory.

Ying Zheng, holding a chess piece, frowned and stared at the chessboard, deep in thought.

"Lingzhuzi has arrived." Nuwa looked up at the newcomer. "You've broken through to the Primordial Dao Saint realm?"

With Nuwa's cultivation level as the Primordial Supreme, this naturally could not escape her discerning eyes.

"Yes," Lingzhuzi nodded respectfully.

After the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, he was appointed as the Great God of the Three Altars and Seas by the Heavenly Court of the Primordial World. But afterwards, he returned to Nuwa's Palace.

“Your Majesty, Lingzhuzi has now mastered the Great Dao of Hunyuan and wishes to leave the Daoist temple to travel to the Origin Realm. I humbly request Your Majesty and the Grand Master’s permission,” Lingzhuzi said again.

"Well, now that you've become a Saint of the Primordial Dao, you should go out and travel to broaden your horizons and enrich your experience." Nuwa nodded. "Go ahead, and be careful on your journey."

As she spoke, Nuwa casually bestowed two Primordial Treasures upon Lingzhuzi: "These two Primordial Treasures are both of the highest quality. I am giving them to you now for self-defense. When you travel, do not tarnish the reputation of me and your Lord Ying Zheng. Of course, you must not abuse your power to bully others. You must remember these things."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will certainly remember your teachings!" Lingzhuzi said gratefully.

As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng was still deep in thought, so Lingzhuzi couldn't help but look at the chessboard again.

With just one glance, he felt dizzy and everything around him seemed to disappear.

At this moment, he felt as if he were in an endless void battlefield, with terrifying power of the Great Dao surging around him, and one Primordial Supreme after another facing off in fierce battle! The aftershocks of their battle swept over him, making Ling Zhuzi feel that he would be annihilated at any moment.

Among those Primordial Supreme Beings, there were two giant dragons, one black and one white, entangled together!

They stretched across the void, spanning countless miles. They were locked in a frenzied battle, but it was clear that the black dragon had gained the upper hand, and the white dragon was powerless to resist, on the verge of defeat.

"Little Taoist boy, this is not something you can get involved in! Wake up quickly!"

The voice of the Holy Venerable Yamantaka rang in Lingzhuzi's mind. Immediately afterwards, Lingzhuzi felt an invisible force pulling him out of the Void Killing Field.

"Huff! Huff!" After emerging, Lingzhuzi shuddered, his entire body drenched in cold sweat.

He looked at the Holy One Yamantaka with grateful eyes and quickly bowed in homage.

"Alas! I lost! I lost!" Ying Zheng threw down the chess piece in his hand and said helplessly to the Great Mighty Saint, "You are too amazing!"

However, the Great Mighty Saint Venerable took a sip of tea and chuckled, "Although your cultivation is high, your chess skills are really not that great. I consider myself to be quite poor in chess. I didn't expect you to be even worse than me."

Ying Zheng: "...!"

"Ahem!" Ying Zheng coughed, then turned to look at Ling Zhuzi. "You stumbled into the chessboard battlefield and glimpsed the Supreme Dao. The Supreme Beings you saw are all manifestations of our own Daos, and the Black and White Dragons are the embodiment of our Daos. Don't waste such an opportunity. You can postpone your travels for a while. After you return, go into seclusion and try to comprehend it. Perhaps you can gain something from it."

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, Ling Zhuzi felt a jolt of joy and said, "Thank you, Your Excellency."

"No need to thank me, this is your own good fortune." Ying Zheng smiled slightly.

"Go then." Ying Zheng then waved to Ling Zhuzi, who immediately took his leave.

After Lingzhuzi left, the Great Vajra Saint Venerable casually waved his hand at the chessboard, and the black and white chess pieces flew up and fell back into the jars on both sides.

"How about another round?" the Great Lord of Vajra asked with a smile.

"No, no." Ying Zheng sighed and shook his head. "I've lost to you three times in a row. I'm not playing anymore. I can't beat you."

“Alright, alright, then come again next time,” said the Holy One Yamantaka with a smile. “In that case, let’s get down to business.”

"Hmm." Ying Zheng nodded.

"As you may have guessed, I've come here for the reconstruction of the Origin Realm," said the Great Mighty Saint Venerable, getting straight to the point.

"We have already contacted Supreme Hongdu and Emperor Wuxuan about this, and they all agree."

"Hmm." Ying Zheng nodded again, then picked up the teacup beside him and took a small sip. "The matter of the Spirit God Universe has been resolved, so rebuilding the Origin Realm is a natural next step. However, rebuilding the Origin Realm first requires choosing a location. Do you still intend to build the Origin Realm on the foundation of the ancient realm ruins?"

The Great Mighty Saint turned his head slightly to look at the garden outside the pavilion, and then said, "We have already discussed this point. Some fellow Daoists believe that rather than building it on the ruins of the Origin Realm, it would be better to leave the ruins of the Origin Realm as a tomb site for posterity, and then choose another location for the new Origin Realm."

"Some fellow Daoists believe that rebuilding the Origin Realm is more meaningful. Firstly, the Ancient Realm itself is the center of my Hongmeng Universe. Secondly, although the Ancient Realm is damaged, the major realms are still basically intact. Once it is cleared, it can be rebuilt more quickly on this basis."

"Moreover, although it may sound harsh, my Origin Realm possesses many treasures lost in the ruins of the Ancient Realm, all belonging to many fellow Daoists of the Origin Realm in the past." "While taking the relics of the deceased may sound somewhat unethical, the Origin Realm of the past gathered most of the precious resources of the Primordial Universe, especially the Primordial Treasures. These things were naturally formed by the Primordial Universe and could not be created by human hands. To simply leave them buried in the ruins of the Ancient Realm is truly a waste."

"Take my Vermilion Bird Spirit Platform Star Region for example. Many fellow Daoists have already cultivated to the level of Primordial Supreme, but they don't even have a single suitable Primordial Treasure on hand," the Great Mighty Saint Venerable sighed.

Ying Zheng shared the same sentiment.

Indeed, in the Vermilion Bird Spirit Platform Starfield, Primordial Treasures are extremely rare.

There are thousands of supreme beings in the star field, but more than half of them do not possess any Primordial Treasures.

Of the remaining half, 80% contain only one Primordial Treasure.

Ying Zheng didn't have many concerns about taking the deceased's belongings.

The people are already gone; it would be a waste to bury those treasures with them. It would be better to let the living use them to develop the power of the Primordial Universe.

Although the Spirit God Universe has been destroyed and the crisis of the Hongmeng Universe has been temporarily relieved, this does not mean that we can rest easy from now on.

The demise of the Spirit God Universe serves as a cautionary tale for the Primordial Universe!
The Hongmeng Universe must seize the time to develop and prepare for the cataclysmic destruction of the universe, while also being vigilant against enemies from outside the universe.

For ordinary cultivators, thinking about these things might be a bit of worrying, but for beings like Ying Zheng who stand at the pinnacle of the Hongmeng Universe, these are issues that they must consider and be concerned about!

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

As the pinnacle beings of the Hongmeng Universe, Ying Zheng and his companions had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of ruling the Hongmeng Universe.

"Clearing up the ruins of the ancient realm is a time-consuming and laborious task," said the Great Mighty Saint Venerable with a headache.

"Yes." Ying Zheng also expressed his deep agreement.

The ancient ruins are just too vast!

The original ancient realm was already incredibly large. After the Heart of the Origin Realm shattered, the ancient Origin Realm disintegrated, turning into ruins that were even larger than before, nearly ten times larger.

The manpower and time required to clear such a large area are simply unimaginable.

Simply put, with Ying Zheng's current supernatural powers, he can indeed envelop the entire Ancient Realm with his magic power, and even capture the entire Ancient Realm in one go.

But cleaning is not that simple.

First, the remains of the deceased need to be properly disposed of, and various dangers are also hidden in the ruins of the ancient world.

If it were just Ying Zheng and his group involved in the cleanup, it wouldn't be a problem. But if other supreme beings with lower cultivation levels were to join in, that would be troublesome.

If the cleanup isn't done properly, it could cost several lives and add more corpses to the ancient ruins.

"This is really troublesome," Ying Zheng said helplessly.

“It is indeed troublesome,” Ying Zheng repeated.

“But no matter how troublesome it is, we must do it,” said the Holy One Yamantaka firmly.

"So we discussed it and came up with this idea for now. All the Primordial Sovereigns in the major domains can participate in clearing the ancient ruins. The corpses that are cleared out will be buried in one place. As for the treasures and the like, whoever clears them out will keep them."

As the Great Vajra Deity spoke, he looked at Ying Zheng.

"You're plotting against me," Ying Zheng chuckled.

Ying Zheng's divine network now covers the entire Lingtai Star Region. Relying on the divine network, Ying Zheng earns an astonishing amount of exchange points every day.

However, this also brought up a problem: Ying Zheng did not have enough treasures available for people to exchange on the exchange list of the Divine Network.

He uploaded over a million Primordial Treasures, which were all redeemed in a short time. Later, he uploaded several more Primordial Supreme Treasures, which were also quickly redeemed. Now, the exchange list on the Divine Network is completely empty.

This is also where Ying Zheng felt somewhat helpless.

As the master of the Divine Network, he offered items for everyone to exchange in order to promote the circulation of exchange points, increase their value, and encourage users of the Divine Network to "produce" more exchange points.

But there was no way around it; there were simply too many people in the entire Lingtai Starfield. Ying Zheng estimated that even if he emptied his pockets, he wouldn't have enough treasures to put up for people to exchange.

However, if he were to clear out the ancient ruins, he would naturally gain a large amount of treasures.

These treasures would naturally be made available for exchange on the Divine Network Ranking. In this way, Ying Zheng was benefiting cultivators throughout the entire Lingtai Starfield, and even the entire Origin Realm in the future.

Once the ancient ruins are cleared and the new Origin Realm is established, Ying Zheng will naturally extend the Divine Network to the entire Origin Realm.

"Haha, please excuse my poor attempt, fellow Daoist," said the Great Mighty Virtue Saint Venerable with a smile. "So, fellow Daoist, are you interested in helping?"

"Yes," Ying Zheng said helplessly.

This is indeed an open conspiracy.

For him, once he cleared the ruins of the ancient realm and rebuilt the source realm, he could bring the entire source realm into the divine network.

In this way, the number of communication points he can obtain each day will increase many times over.

Secondly, he can use the treasures he finds in the Origin Realm to fill the exchange list and incentivize users of the Divine Network.

For Ying Zheng, this was an incredibly good thing. And for the many cultivators in the Hongmeng Universe, it was an even greater good thing.

Firstly, the source realm was rebuilt, and secondly, by using the divine network, they could naturally obtain exchange points. These exchange points were practically free, and they could even be used to exchange for all sorts of rare resources—it was like a windfall.

"I was wondering why I'd been feeling like someone was watching me from the shadows lately. Turns out it was you guys secretly plotting against me." Ying Zheng looked at the Great Mighty Saint Venerable speechlessly.

"Haha!" Great Lord Yamantaka laughed, "Isn't this a win-win situation!"

Ordinary people may not know the details of the Divine Network, but it is naturally impossible to keep it from the Holy Venerable Yamantaka and his followers.

After a little investigation, they were able to see through the true nature of the Divine Network.

The so-called exchange points are actually the divine thoughts and magical power consumed by cultivators when using the divine network after connecting to it.

Just as electrical appliances need electricity, using the Divine Network also requires the consumption of divine thought and magical power. However, the consumption by each individual is extremely small, almost imperceptible. But the number of users of the Divine Network is vast, and when combined, it becomes formidable.
