"Since you yearn for peace, I can promise you that our Hongmeng Universe will not invade your territory, and we will keep to ourselves. Furthermore, if you are homeless, I can arrange for you to temporarily reside in our Hongmeng Universe until you find a new universe."

As soon as Ying Zheng finished speaking, the man was stunned into silence. "Really?"

"Of course it's true," Ying Zheng said casually.

After receiving confirmation from Ying Zheng, the man was completely stunned.

He never expected that Ying Zheng's attitude would change so drastically!

He stood there dumbfounded for a long while, taking a good ten breaths before he came to his senses. Then he respectfully bowed deeply to Ying Zheng and said, "Thank you, Your Excellency."

This time, his voice and attitude were noticeably gentler, even carrying a hint of apology and gratitude.

After all, they were the ones who attacked Hongmeng Town first. But now, Ying Zheng not only didn't take advantage of their misfortune, but was willing to lend a helping hand in their time of need, which was truly rare.

Those with profound cultivation might be able to sustain themselves in the void for a period of time.

However, those with low cultivation levels, such as cultivators at the first and second levels of the universe, find it difficult to stay in the void for long.

First of all, a cultivator at the cosmic level would be gradually devoured if they were alone in the void without the help of others.

Even cultivators at the second level of the universe level, who are slightly more powerful, may be able to withstand the devouring of the void, but if they stay in the void for a long time, they will gradually wither away and eventually perish.

In the void, there is no energy to replenish. And for a master who has reached the cosmic level, even a single thought requires an astonishing amount of energy.

After losing the Fire Jade Universe, the remaining cultivators of the Fire Jade Universe are like rootless duckweed or water without a source; they will eventually perish in the void.

Moreover, without the Fire Jade Universe as a foothold, if they were injured and escaped from the Illusionary Realm, they would have nowhere to heal their wounds.

They desperately need a place to settle down right now.

Because Ying Zheng and this person had previously communicated through divine thought, the other gods in the Fire Jade Universe did not hear it.

The fact that this person suddenly bowed respectfully to Ying Zheng naturally surprised the others.

"Everyone, I just discussed peace talks with this gentleman. He said he is willing to put aside past grievances and make peace with our Fire Jade Universe, with both sides keeping to themselves and coexisting peacefully. He even said he would be willing to let us travel to their Primordial Universe and stay there for a while until we find a new home!" This person said to the remaining gods of the Fire Jade Universe.

"what?!"

"so good?!"

"this……!"

These people were all stunned.

They all looked at Ying Zheng, their faces filled with bewilderment, mixed with a complex mix of emotions including shock, shame, disbelief, and gratitude.

"Our Hongmeng Universe is just a nascent universe. It cannot accommodate one or two thousand universe-level experts to absorb the essence of chaos and cultivate. But it is not a problem to let you stay here and provide you with a place to return from the illusionary realm," Ying Zheng said. "Of course, the premise is that you are truly willing to make peace."

"If you harbor ill intentions once you reach the Hongmeng Universe, don't blame me for being ruthless. Let me make this clear beforehand: if I wanted to, I could wipe you all out on my own."

"That's enough!" the God of Gale couldn't help but say.

The vast majority of them originally resided within the Azure Illusionary Realm. They only needed to return in exceptional circumstances, especially after being injured and requiring healing. Otherwise, if they remained within the Illusionary Realm without the means to heal, they would simply die of illness.

With the Hongmeng Universe as their base, they have a place to heal their wounds.

"Your Excellency, we have just offended you!" The God of Gale also bowed deeply to Ying Zheng!
After the God of Gale bowed, the remaining gods of the Fire Jade Universe exchanged glances, and finally they all bowed to Ying Zheng.

"We were the ones who offended you first, yet you have shown no resentment and are willing to help us during our most difficult time. We have no way to repay such a great kindness!"

"Your great kindness and virtue will surely be repaid by the gods of Fire Jade with our lives!"

"Thank you for taking me in!"

Seeing the Fire Jade Gods' tearful gratitude, Ying Zheng was secretly overjoyed.

If they knew that he was the real culprit who destroyed the Fire Jade Universe, I wonder what they would think.

"Ahem!" Ying Zheng coughed lightly. "You don't need to do this. Everyone encounters difficulties. I was just helping you out. I only hope that you will not invade my Hongmeng Town again in the Illusionary Realm."

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, the Fire Jade Gods immediately shook their heads.

"How dare we do such a rude thing again!"

"We have no way to repay your great kindness and virtue, how could we dare to repay kindness with enmity!"

"Please rest assured, Your Excellency, from this day forward, we will absolutely not invade Hongmeng Town in the slightest!"

"The enemy of Hongmeng Town is the enemy of all of us!"

Seeing the grateful expressions on these people's faces, Ying Zheng was overjoyed.

The group in front of them was completely different from the group from the Spirit God Universe back then.

Back when the Spirit God Universe was at its peak, setting aside everything else, the four Great Creators alone were a force that the Hongmeng Universe had no power to contend with. If they were allowed to enter the Hongmeng Universe, it would inevitably be conquered by the Spirit God Universe sooner or later.

But things are different now. As long as Ying Zheng is in charge of the Hongmeng Universe, he can wipe out all these people in an instant if he decides to kill them.

This alone ensures that they have no chance to turn the tables.

Furthermore, although the Fire Jade Universe has been destroyed, most of its power still exists. If they continue to be enemies of Hongmeng Town in the Canglan Illusionary Realm, it will indeed be a troublesome matter.

Moreover, finding a nascent universe, while not easy, is by no means difficult either!

Once the Fire Jade Gods find a suitable primordial universe, they will likely be able to rebuild the Fire Jade Universe soon, at which point they will inevitably become enemies with Hongmeng Town once again.

So Ying Zheng simply took the opportunity to do them a favor and win them over.

When Ying Zheng brought the Fire Jade Gods to the Hongmeng Universe, the sudden arrival of so many universe-level experts startled many powerful beings in the Hongmeng Universe!
"Not good! Enemy invasion!" In the god's tomb on the edge of the Hongmeng Universe, the Supreme Flame Demon Lord was startled.

"Quickly go to the Canglan Illusionary Realm to seek help!" In the Origin Realm, some Primordial Supremes also shouted in panic.

Just then, Ying Zheng's divine sense transmitted a voice: "Don't panic, they are the people I brought."

"Is it Emperor Ying Zheng?!" Upon hearing Ying Zheng's voice, all the Venerable Ones of Hongmeng breathed a sigh of relief.

After appeasing the Hongmeng deities, Ying Zheng waved his hand in the void, creating a vast and boundless realm. "From now on, this place will be temporarily lent to you for your stay," Ying Zheng said to the Fire Jade Gods.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Ying Zheng!" said the King of Flames, the leader of the Fire Jade Gods, to Ying Zheng.

Immediately, all the Fire Jade Gods bowed to Ying Zheng and expressed their gratitude: "Thank you, Your Excellency Ying Zheng!"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty Ying Zheng, we will not stay here for long. Once we find a suitable place, we will move away immediately," said the Flame God King.

“That’s right!” The God of Gale nodded in agreement.

"Thanks to His Excellency Ying Zheng's benevolence, he has relieved our urgent crisis. Although the laws of the universe in this Hongmeng universe are different from those in our Huoyu universe, at least we have a place to rest, unlike in the void where we are constantly consuming our divine power."

“We few fourth-level universe-level beings can still hold on, but those first- and second-level universe-level fire jade gods will have a hard time.”

"Hmm." Ying Zheng nodded with a smile.

"By the way, you should inform the Alliance about the destruction of your Fire Jade Universe as soon as possible. Perhaps the Alliance can help you catch the culprit, or you can get some assistance from the Alliance," Ying Zheng said.

"The Alliance has already been notified," said the God of Gale.

"When that madman attacked our Fire Jade Universe, I had already notified the Alliance. After the Fire Jade Universe was destroyed, I contacted the Alliance again."

"The Alliance's experts have already set off to investigate our Fire Jade Universe. However, that person is a wanderer, and he has a Space Shuttle, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Alliance to capture him."

"As for the Alliance's assistance..." The God of Gale gave a wry smile, "I doubt there will be any."

After he finished speaking, many of the Fire Jade Gods fell silent.

"Sigh..." Ying Zheng also sighed. But in reality, he was almost laughing out loud.

"Alright, you all rest for a bit. I'm leaving," Ying Zheng said to the Fire Jade Gods.

After Ying Zheng left, the vast majority of the Fire Jade Gods went to the Canglan Illusionary Realm. Only a few of the most powerful experts left the Hongmeng Universe to search for a new nascent universe in the void.

After returning to the Origin Realm, Ying Zheng did not immediately head to the Canglan Illusionary Realm. This was because the first Hongmeng Grand Ceremony of the Hongmeng Universe was about to be held.

Originally, Ying Zheng had to stay in the Canglan Illusionary Realm to guard Hongmeng Town because of the threat from Huoyu City. But now that he has destroyed the entire Huoyu Universe and the Huoyu Gods have made peace with him and will no longer be enemies of Hongmeng Town, he naturally no longer needs to defend Hongmeng Town to the death.

With the upcoming Hongmeng Grand Ceremony, numerous cultivators from all over the Hongmeng Universe are rushing to the Source Realm! These cultivators are mostly at least Saint level.

One by one, they rode on beams of light and carried magical artifacts, tearing through the void and chaos, and finally descended upon the Origin Realm.

Because so many people came from all over the Hongmeng Universe, many Primordial Supremes from various realms of the Origin Realm deliberately released their own power to suppress the Dao field.

After Ying Zheng returned, he also released some of his own power.

That boundless majesty, like an abyss, enveloped the entire Origin Realm. Anyone who arrived in the Origin Realm could immediately sense this aura emanating from its depths. It was a terrifying existence far surpassing them, many realms higher, a Great Emperor who suppressed the entire Origin Realm!

Under the majestic aura of the Great Emperor, the saints and supreme beings who came from all over the primordial universe were terrified and dared not cause any trouble.

"The five-hundred-million-year deadline has arrived. Let the first Hongmeng Grand Ceremony of the Hongmeng Universe begin."

Within the Origin Realm, Ying Zheng's voice rang out, resounding throughout the 365 major realms and 120,000 minor realms, as well as various worlds large and small!
As Ying Zheng's voice rang out, the preliminary rounds of the Hongmeng Grand Ceremony, held in various realms of the Origin Realm, officially began.

The emperor's domain!

The Origin Realm is the center of the Primordial Universe, while the Emperor's Domain is the center of the Origin Realm.

As Ying Zheng's training ground, the Heavenly Emperor Domain was incredibly bustling at this time.

Before the Great Emperor's Daoist temple, all the Venerables gathered, and all the Saints came to pay homage! Countless immortals gathered like clouds and rain, and the void was densely packed with cultivators who had descended here.

Among them were cultivators who originally lived in the Heavenly Emperor Domain, some who came from nearby domains, and some who came specifically from outside the Origin Realm, all in order to catch a glimpse of the true face of the Great Emperor Ying Zheng.

Countless cultivators gathered together, and with each breath they exhaled, they transformed into cloud dragons that rose into the sky. Even more auspicious energy surged into the heavens, transforming into nine-colored phenomena—dragons, phoenixes, and all auspicious beasts.

"Welcome, Great Emperor!!"

In the void, a loud voice rang out, followed by an infinite aura rising up as Ying Zheng descended with Nuwa by his side.

Wherever the two walked, lotus flowers bloomed, opening up paths of order.

Instantly, an overwhelming aura filled the air, and countless immortals, saints, and supreme beings in the void bowed deeply, shouting in unison, "Welcome, Great Emperor!"

"Rise, all of you." Ying Zheng looked down proudly at the assembled immortals, saints, and venerables.

Countless saints echoed in unison, then rose and turned their gazes toward Ying Zheng, their faces filled with awe.

"Dan Chenzi!" Ying Zheng called out.

“Nephew is here!” Dan Chenzi responded and stepped forward. Ying Zheng and Shi Mang were of equal social standing, so Dan Chenzi naturally always treated Ying Zheng with the respect due to a senior uncle.

After Ying Zheng became the Great Emperor of the Origin Realm, Shi Mang moved his Daoist temple to the Heavenly Emperor Domain, and Dan Chenzi followed suit.

Dan Chenzi made a significant contribution to this Hongmeng Grand Ceremony, and he was responsible for handling many affairs.

Dan Chenzi was dressed in a Xuanxing Daoist robe, wearing a tall purple-gold crown, and holding a scroll in his hand.

"As of now, within my Emperor's Great Domain, there are over 5.42 million Saints, over 1.1 million Heavenly Dao Saints, and over 200,000 Great Dao Saints who have registered to participate in the preliminary round of this Emperor's Great Domain Primordial Grand Ceremony!"

"Hmm." Ying Zheng nodded slightly.

At that moment, a wave of emotion welled up in his heart.

Back in the primordial world, becoming a saint was incredibly difficult. Countless people fought openly and secretly for the sake of a saintly position.

For example, Donghuang Taiyi, the Demon Emperor Dijun, and Kunpeng all hated Hongyun to the bone and were jealous of his possession of the Primordial Purple Qi. Although Hongyun obtained the Primordial Purple Qi, he failed to attain enlightenment and almost died.

Looking back now, it's utterly ridiculous.

Primordial Purple Qi is not a rare thing in the Origin Realm.

Primordial Purple Qi is the essence of the primordial universe, which can be nurtured within the chaotic essence.

Therefore, sages were rare in the primordial world of the past, but are commonplace in the Origin Realm. (End of Chapter)
