Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Below the three great creation treasures are top-tier innate treasures such as the Qiankun Cauldron, followed by a host of other innate treasures.

The Buzhou Ding is in this category, and it is not particularly outstanding among the many innate treasures of the prehistoric world.

If we're talking about which magical treasure in the primordial world is most likely to be upgraded to a half-step eternal treasure, then it would definitely be the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc.

After all, this is a supreme treasure of chaos formed from the cycle of heaven and earth. With the strengthening of the primordial world, the power of reincarnation has also increased. It is only a matter of time before it advances to become a half-step eternal treasure.

But no one expected that Buzhou Ding would overtake others and become a half-step eternal treasure before the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc.

When you really think about it, the chance of Buzhou Ding becoming a half-step Eternal Treasure is really not up to it; there are far too many treasures in the prehistoric world that are stronger than it.

But from another perspective, Bu Zhouding's promotion is not so surprising.

The Buzhou Ding is indeed not well-known, and not many people know about it. But its predecessor, Mount Buzhou, the pillar of heaven, is known to everyone.

Mount Buzhou was formed from the spine of the god Pangu, who was a being at the half-step into eternity level.

The spine he left behind after his passing was originally a treasure at the half-step eternal level. Now it has transformed into the Buzhou Cauldron and been promoted to a half-step eternal supreme treasure. It is perfectly normal and has the potential to achieve this.

It was precisely because they had considered this that the great supernatural beings of the prehistoric world felt both shocked and somewhat relieved.

Pangu's spinal cord transformed into a semi-eternal treasure. What's so strange about that? It's perfectly normal. It would be strange if it hadn't.

The reason no one thought of this before was because Buzhou Mountain collapsed, causing everyone to overlook that this was a treasure with a better chance of being promoted to a half-step eternal treasure than the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation Wheel is indeed not bad, but it is still somewhat inferior to Mount Buzhou.

Now, with the advancement of the Buzhou Cauldron, all the gods have remembered. The Buzhou Cauldron is called a cauldron, but in reality, it was transformed from Mount Buzhou.

Previously, its power was not apparent; it was merely a primordial treasure. This was because after Mount Buzhou shattered, most of its Daoist essence dissipated. Furthermore, the mountain used to forge the Buzhou Cauldron was incomplete, which resulted in the Buzhou Cauldron's power being far inferior to that of Mount Buzhou.

But at this moment, with the blessing of the entire primordial world, the potential of Buzhou Cauldron was pushed to its limit, and the previously dissipated Daoist charm and the damaged mountain body were rapidly restored.

After all of them are restored, the Buzhou Cauldron in front of us, though called a cauldron, is actually Buzhou Mountain.

If even the complete Buzhou Mountain, with the blessing of the primordial world, cannot be promoted to a half-step eternal treasure, then who in the entire primordial world is qualified to be promoted?
And so a miracle occurred. With the blessing of the entire world, Mount Buzhou was reshaped and upgraded, transforming into the Buzhou Cauldron, a semi-eternal treasure.

It stands there, corresponding to the Purple Star above and the center of the primordial wilderness below.

The endless chaotic energy was swallowed by the vortex formed by the primordial world and sent into the Buzhou Cauldron. Through its refinement, it was transformed into the pure essence of Pangu's origin, which was used to nourish the entire primordial world.

The primordial world needed tools to devour chaos, and the Buzhou Cauldron, formed from the spine of the great god Pangu, was its tool for devouring chaos.

Therefore, the Buzhou Cauldron underwent such a great change, leaping several levels in succession, from a primordial treasure to a half-step eternal treasure.

"The status of Little Primordial World is now even more unshakeable."

Coming to their senses, the group of powerful beings fell into despair, losing all desire to challenge the status of the Lesser Primordial World.

I'm truly desperate. How can we fight like this? Above us lies the Purple Star, in the middle lies the Buzhou Cauldron, and below lies the Primordial Ancestral Vein—all beings at the half-step Eternal level.

In the entire primordial world, there were only these three half-step eternal beings, and they all ended up with Ao Bing. How could anyone else compare? Even if they all joined together, they couldn't defeat him.

"Don't panic, we still have a chance: the Six Paths of Reincarnation and the Pangu Temple!"

As if struck by a thought, someone gazed intently into the depths of the netherworld, at the location of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

The primordial world is divided into three realms: Heaven, Earth, and Man. The so-called Lord of the Primordial World is the ruler of all three realms.

Currently, Ao Bing can only be said to dominate two realms, namely the Heavenly Realm and the Human Realm, while the Underworld and the Netherworld remain outside his control.

Based on this, Ao Bing can only be considered the strongest overlord and the master of the strongest power in the prehistoric world, but he cannot yet be called the master of the prehistoric world.

In other words, the Netherworld is the key next. As long as we control this place, even if we can't defeat Ao Bing, we can at least hold our own against him and prevent him from dominating the world.

The Netherworld certainly has the resources to do so. The Primordial World currently only has three half-step Eternal Lands, but that doesn't mean there will only be three in the future.

No one knows exactly how many semi-eternal lands there will be in the future primordial world. But if asked where the next semi-eternal land will appear, everyone would unanimously answer that it will be in the Netherworld, the land of reincarnation.

Yes, that's right. The next being in the primordial world to advance to the half-step eternal level will inevitably be the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc located deep in the Netherworld.

Reincarnation is an important part of the cycle of heaven and earth. Heaven and earth cannot lack anything but reincarnation. Without reincarnation, heaven and earth would not be complete.

It's not just that sentient beings cannot be reincarnated; that's a minor matter, insignificant.

The crucial point is that without reincarnation, the power flowing between heaven and earth cannot be repeated, meaning it cannot be reused.

This would undoubtedly result in a huge waste and make the world weaker and weaker.

Therefore, the occurrence of reincarnation is inevitable, to make up for the deficiencies of heaven and earth, to make them more perfect, and thus to greatly extend the lifespan of heaven and earth.

Reincarnation is so important that the Heavenly Dao naturally attaches great importance to it. In the ancient primordial world, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc was already a supreme treasure of chaos.

With the birth of the new primordial world, the origin of heaven and earth became even more profound, and the status of the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc would naturally rise accordingly, eventually becoming a half-step eternal treasure.

The current Six Paths of Reincarnation Wheel can no longer keep up with the development of the primordial world. It must advance to operate the power of the entire primordial world and keep it circulating.

The Netherworld is one of the Three Realms, and it possesses the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc, a treasure destined to ascend to the level of a semi-eternal supreme treasure. Its importance is self-evident, no less than that of the starry sky and the earth.

Whoever controls this place can become one of the three giants of the primordial world.

Although he is still some distance from Ao Bing, he is not someone Ao Bing can easily suppress. At least he has the ability to contend with him.

There's also the Pangu Temple; barring any unforeseen circumstances, this item also has the potential to be upgraded to a semi-eternal treasure.

The Pangu Temple, a supreme treasure of the Wu tribe, has an unknown level, but its origin is astonishingly great, as it was formed from the skull of the great god Pangu.

The skull is the hardest bone in the human body. The Pangu Temple was formed from the skull of the great god Pangu, so it must be a treasure at the half-step eternal level. As long as it receives the blessing of the entire primordial world and is allowed to mature completely, it will surely be able to advance to a half-step eternal treasure, just like the Buzhou Cauldron.

It makes no sense that Buzhou Ding could advance, but the Pangu Temple, which shares the same origin as it, could not.

…………

"Whether it's the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc or the Pangu Temple, they both belong to the Wu Clan. The rise of the Wu Clan is an inevitable event."

"However, the Wu Clan is not a dragon-human hybrid. Dragon-human hybrids have only done good deeds and no bad deeds in the primordial world and among all living beings, so there is no reason for people to steal their fortune."

“But the Witch Clan is greater than heaven and earth, and they should not enjoy this benefit alone; they must give up some of it.”

"Furthermore, the Pangu Temple is one thing, as it is a treasure of the Wu Clan, and outsiders cannot easily scheme against it. But the Six Paths of Reincarnation, although it was transformed by the Goddess Houtu, is not a private property of the Wu Clan, but a public property of the primordial world."

“Since it is a public institution, it should naturally be held by the virtuous, and should not be solely controlled by the witch clan.”

Although no one's expression changed, they were already plotting against the Six Paths of Reincarnation, wanting to become the Lord of the Underworld.

Yes, it is the Lord of the Underworld, not the Lord of Reincarnation. The Lord of Reincarnation is undoubtedly Houtu, that cannot be changed, and no one will try to take her away.

But the Lord of the Underworld is different. It is currently unclaimed. Anyone who has made contributions to the primordial world can go to the Underworld to compete for the title.

Furthermore, due to the existence of the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the netherworld, the two can influence each other.

Therefore, the Lord of the Underworld can, to a certain extent, interfere with the operation of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Similarly, the Lord of Reincarnation can, to a certain extent, influence the development of the Underworld.

The people who wanted to become the Lord of the Underworld did so in order to indirectly interfere with the cycle of reincarnation through this identity, and then obtain amazing fortune when the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc was upgraded to a half-step eternal treasure.

"The Goddess Houtu has never been one to contend for power; she certainly doesn't care about the position of Lord of the Underworld. If she did care, this position wouldn't still be unclaimed until now."

"In that case, the threat from Houtu Niangniang can be removed. And without Houtu Niangniang, the biggest obstacle to becoming the Lord of the Underworld will only be the Styx Ancestor."

After focusing their attention on the Netherworld, everyone suddenly realized that the Netherworld was no ordinary place. Besides the Earth Goddess Houtu, a true saint, there was also the Styx Ancestor, a powerful being of the killing path.

The fact that he was able to cultivate to the level of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal before the arrival of the Primordial Era speaks volumes about the strength of the Styx Ancestor. Even after everyone else has cultivated to the level of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, they will still be a step weaker than him.

A slow start leads to slow progress at every step – this is no joke. This is especially true as the world enters a phase of rapid development.

Those who cultivate to the Hunyuan realm first will gain all the benefits first, thus accelerating their progress and widening the gap between themselves and others.

With the Styx Ancestor presiding over the Netherworld, it would be very difficult for outsiders to compete with him for the position of Lord of the Netherworld.

The gods, considering this, were somewhat perplexed, racking their brains to figure out how to move the Styx, this great mountain.

Moreover, while the gods were pondering, the two Western Saints exchanged glances, confirmed their respective thoughts, and then first took a deep look at the Styx Ancestor in the Netherworld, before secretly approaching Zhen Yuanzi, intending to join forces with him to deal with the Styx.

"Fellow Daoists, please leave. We have nothing to discuss."

Zhen Yuanzi greatly disliked the two Western Saints. In the past, when his strength was far inferior to theirs, he dared not show it too obviously, lest they retaliate in secret.

But now that he has become a saint, there is no need for him to fear the two Western saints. Therefore, he no longer hides his disgust for them, and dares to show it without any scruples, even in front of them.

The two Western Saints couldn't say anything about this; they had only created their own karma, and they had to swallow the bitter fruit themselves.

"Fellow Daoist, this matter concerns Fellow Daoist Hongyun's future. Are you still going to refuse?"

"Even if Renlong finds Fellow Daoist Hongyun's true spirit, and even if Laojun is willing to take him as a disciple, he has ultimately missed too much and is no longer able to compete with his former comrades. He can only compete with his disciples, and even then, he may not be able to win."

"The arrival of the Primordial Era marks the beginning of another era of great contention. Although no innate deities are born in this era, it is a grand feast for the acquired beings."

"But because various methods of reversing the innate nature are prevalent, these acquired beings will soon be able to transform into innate gods and demons, or even innate saints."

"Therefore, this great struggle is far more cruel and intense than the struggles that we and others experienced back then."

"Given Fellow Daoist Hongyun's personality, he couldn't even stand out in the struggles of the old era, so how could he possibly win in the even more brutal struggles of the new era?"

"Furthermore, even if he wins and becomes a leader of the new era, so what? Can he compare to his former peers? I'm afraid it will be difficult."

"Reincarnated, not only is everything from the past buried, but even former comrades have become beings I need to look up to."

"How many people can accept such a disparity?"

"Fellow Daoist and Fellow Daoist Hongyun are as close as brothers. You should consider his well-being and make a good plan for him so that he can return to his peak."

The two Western Saints are masters of manipulating people's hearts. Knowing that Zhen Yuanzi wouldn't listen to their nonsense, they directly targeted his weakness, discussing Hongyun's future with him.

Now, Zhen Yuanzi couldn't refuse.

Regardless of whether the bond between Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun is genuine or not, he has been proclaiming it for so many years, and what wasn't true has become true. Therefore, from his perspective, he has to consider Hongyun's future, even if it will harm his own interests.

His bond with Hongyun surpasses everything; how could mere interests compare to it?
"Just say what you have to say, stop beating around the bush."

Zhen Yuanzi had no choice but to respond.

"Let Fellow Daoist Hongyun join the Western Sect. My fellow disciple and I are willing to step down and let him become the Lord of the West."

"At the same time, the two of us intend to take action against Styx and seize his base in the Netherworld. Once our plan succeeds, won't all of this belong to Fellow Daoist Hongyun?"

"With this foundation, and with your support, even if Fellow Daoist Hongyun cannot become the Lord of the Netherworld, he can still become a hegemon of the Netherworld."

"At that time, with the dual identities of Lord of the West and Overlord of the Underworld, Fellow Daoist Hongyun would have been able to return to his peak. Cultivating to the Primordial Chaos Realm would have been a piece of cake, and advancing further would not have been difficult either."

The two Western Saints tempted Zhen Yuanzi, suggesting he betray the Xuanmen sect and join forces with them. (End of Chapter)
