Primordial: From a grain of soil to the ancestor of all paths

heaven.

Lingxiao Palace.

When Hongjun, the representative of the Primordial Heavenly Dao, fled to the Chaotic World, Qinglian, controlling Pangu's will and true form, mobilized the Primordial Heaven and Earth Origin, continuously pouring it into the Underworld.

This great calamity of heaven and earth has finally come to an end, and countless top-level experts have breathed a sigh of relief.

"Reporting to the Heavenly Emperor—"

"In this great calamity, our demon race's Heavenly Court lost 472 Grand Luo Dao Masters, 18,622 Taiyi Golden Immortals, and nearly 10 billion members perished!"

The strategist Bai Ze, pale-faced, stepped into the main hall and solemnly reported the losses from this great calamity.

Di Jun clenched his right fist, his five fingers sinking into his palm. He silently closed his eyes, unaware that pale golden blood was seeping from his palm. An extreme sense of oppression permeated the entire Lingxiao Palace.

"Brother!——"

"Where there is life, there is hope."

"This catastrophe is not aimed at my demon race's Heavenly Court, but at the battle between the Dao Ancestor and the will of Pangu. Now my Heavenly Court has become the orthodox power in the prehistoric world, and one day in the future it will truly dominate the prehistoric world and reign supreme over the world!"

Taiyi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his crimson-gold divine eyes bursting with overwhelming domineering power and fighting spirit.

"The Eastern Emperor is right!"

"Our demon race's Heavenly Court suffered enormous losses in this catastrophe, but its core members remained unharmed. We only need to develop steadily from here on out, and one day we will truly dominate the primordial world!"

Fuxi retrieved his symbiotic treasure, the Fuxi Qin, and looked at Dijun with a serious expression.

Nuwa, standing to the side, remained silent, her beautiful phoenix eyes gazing at the chaotic sky, as if searching for her teacher Hongjun.

Although Nuwa never listened to her teacher's teachings again after Hongjun's three sermons, she was extremely grateful for his teachings and the magical treasures he bestowed upon her.

Now that Master Hongjun has fallen and shed blood once again, the ancient world is witnessing the strange phenomenon of "a saint's fall causing heaven and earth to grieve." Will Qinglian and the Wu Clan then exterminate their Xuanmen?

"Heavenly Emperor, all Demon Emperors—"

"Although the Pangu bloodline was not targeting my demon race's Heavenly Court in this battle, they possess the ability to destroy the world, and even Dao Ancestor Hongjun is no match for them."

"So, if they want to target the Heavenly Court next, how should we deal with it?"

Kunpeng, who was standing in the back row, stepped forward and expressed his concerns to everyone.

"Issue my imperial decree—"

"Re-deploy the 'Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array' to help the Pangu bloodline perfect the underground passage and bring blessings to the primordial world!"

After a moment of contemplation, Emperor Jun decisively ordered the formation of the Zhou Tian Star Array.

Through Qinglian and Taichu's actions, he has completely seen through the Pangu bloodline's scheme, all for the purpose of bringing the underground passage to life ahead of schedule.

As the Heavenly Emperor who rules the primordial world, he naturally has to fulfill his responsibilities and bring blessings to all living beings in the primordial world. Therefore, rebuilding the 'Zhou Tian Xing Dou Da Zhen' is naturally an urgent matter.

When Qinglian and Taichu see that their Heavenly Court has come to their aid, they will surely acknowledge their own merits!
Until then--

Out of consideration for past relationships, they will not only refrain from attacking the Heavenly Court of their demon race, but will even acknowledge their rightful status as the rulers!

"I humbly obey the Heavenly Emperor's decree!"

"I humbly obey the Heavenly Emperor's decree!"

Upon hearing Di Jun's decree, everyone immediately understood his plan and couldn't help but feel admiration.

Because this catastrophe unfolded in the primordial heavens, and the Heavenly Court occupied the thirty-three heavens, the destruction and losses suffered by the demon race from the aftermath of this great war were the most severe.

But even so—

With the demon race's own resources, there are still over six hundred Grand Luo Dao Masters, which is more than enough to rearrange the 'Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array'.

"boom!--"

Emperor Jun personally took control of the Hetu Luoshu, guiding the origins of the Yin and Yang, and with the assistance of 365 Great Luo Dao Masters, successfully communicated and connected with the billions of stars in the primordial world.

When the sky once again burst forth with endless sunlight, moonlight, and the power of the stars, the originally dark and hazy starry sky instantly became as bright as day, causing billions of living beings to involuntarily look up at the sky.

"Woo!——"

"Woo!——"

Strands of great array power connect with the chaotic world, refining the earth, water, fire, wind, and chaotic stars within the chaos, and then transforming them into the purest innate spiritual energy to be transferred into the primordial world.

Countless top-tier Primordial Chaos (quasi-saint) level experts clearly felt that strands of pure world origin were being refined and absorbed by the Primordial Will, gradually and automatically repairing the severe damage suffered by the Great Calamity.

The speed of tunnel evolution has also begun to increase significantly.

“Boom!——”

When the local deity was successfully born, a vast expanse of golden clouds of merit enveloped the heavens and the universe. A considerable amount of these golden clouds of merit shrouded the Heavenly Court, causing everyone's eyes to light up slightly.

"The Heavenly Emperor is wise and mighty!"

"The Heavenly Emperor is wise and mighty!"

Countless elites of the Heavenly Court bowed in unison to Emperor Jun, who sat high on the Heavenly Emperor's throne.

These merits are insignificant compared to the establishment of the Celestial Court, but they represent the Celestial Court's contribution to the early emergence of the Earthly Path. If the Azure Lotus or the Witch Clan were to attack the Celestial Court in the future, they would have to think twice.

"good!--"

Di Jun nodded slightly, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.

He then handed over the main task of the formation to the demon master Kunpeng, and immediately returned to the Heavenly Emperor Palace to recuperate and heal his injuries.

…………

Kunlun.

Taiqing Palace.

This catastrophe affected the primordial world, but the Kunlun ancestral lineage was formed from the spine of Pangu, and the Three Pure Ones were the primordial spirits of the great god Pangu, each inheriting a portion of the merits of the creation of the world, so they were naturally not affected in the slightest.

When they saw that even their teacher's strongest trump card, the "Heavenly Punishment Seal," couldn't withstand the Father God's will and true form, Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi's expressions were filled with solemnity.

"The primordial world is about to change!"

Yuanshi gazed at that towering, domineering, and invincible figure, his expression filled with complex emotions.

He originally thought that the prehistoric world was ruled by his teacher, but judging from this battle, Qinglian and the Wu Clan will replace the authority of the Heavenly Dao. Wouldn't he, the future Heavenly Dao Saint, be suppressed forever?

"Second brother, there's no need to worry—"

"Although Qinglian suppressed the teacher in this battle, the teacher has not yet officially become the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao, and the Father God's will that she consumed was enormous."

"Once the teacher fully recovers, even if Qinglian can control the Earthly Dao, she will not be able to snatch the power of the Primordial Ruler from the Heavenly Dao!"

"After all, the Earthly Path governs the reincarnation of all living beings in the primordial world, while the Heavenly Path governs the great power of the primordial world. Moreover, the Heavenly Path was born when the Father God transformed into the primordial world. How could its foundation be compared to the newly born Earthly Path?"

Taiqing Laozi stroked his beard lightly, a hint of hope appearing in his ancient eyes.

He certainly knew the significance of this battle, but he still wanted to believe in his teacher Hongjun and the Way of Heaven!
"Om!—"

It didn't take long.

As the Creation Jade Disc in their sea of ​​consciousness trembled slightly, and the Primordial Dao Origin began to emerge, they couldn't help but look at Mount Buzhou, their eyes suddenly narrowing.

"What has Third Brother done?"

As manifestations of Pangu's primordial spirit, the three of them joined the Xuanmen sect together and practiced the "Slaying the Three Corpses" method to attain enlightenment. However, they now sense through the innate Great Dao that Tongtian had actually destroyed his own origin.

Isn't this tantamount to betraying the Xuanmen (Taoist sect)?
"snort!--"

“Third Junior Brother is an ingrate. He actually destroyed his innate origin at this critical juncture. Does he think he can walk the path of inheritance again after abolishing the two corpses of good and evil?” A trace of disgust and hatred flashed in Yuanshi’s eyes.

Next-

When they witnessed the early emergence of the Underground Path, twelve supreme divine wheels of the Great Dao manifested in the primordial sky, and strands of supreme Underground Path origin permeated the heavens and the universe.

The vast golden clouds of merit from the Great Dao enveloped the entire primordial sky, making the two of them extremely envious.

"The tunnel has finally been unveiled ahead of schedule, so who will become its spokesperson?"

As divinely ordained saints, they have not even been able to perceive a single opportunity to attain enlightenment, yet they have witnessed the birth of the Earthly Dao. Therefore, someone will inevitably attain the Great Luo Primordial Dao next.

Who wouldn't envy such an incredible opportunity?

………………

“Boom!——”

“Boom!——”

The immense merits of the Great Dao poured down upon the Primordial Beginning, while strands of supreme Dao rules surged forth, making him appear even more supreme, sacred, majestic, and eternal.

Tianyan, who was standing to the side, also received some merit rewards, but his share was much less than that of his elder brother.

After Tai Chu received these great merits, his aura reached a new level.

at the same time--

After Qinglian and the Twelve Ancestral Witches dismantled the 'Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation', they all received massive merit rewards, with Qinglian and Houtu receiving the most.

"Houtu—"

"From now on, you will be in charge of the underworld!"

Opening her eyes, Qinglian looked directly at Houtu, who was holy, elegant, compassionate, and benevolent.

“Swish!——”

When all the Ancestral Witches heard Qinglian's decree, they were all stunned.

"Aunt Qinglian, why don't you become the master of this underground realm?"

The ancestral witches were very clear about this.

Once you take control of the Earthly Dao, you can use the Earthly Dao's origin to successfully attain the Great Luo of Primordial Chaos, and you might even have the chance to take control of the Earthly Dao and become the supreme Lord of the Earthly Dao!
"This is the legacy and mission bestowed upon you by your elder brother, how could I possibly steal it?"

Qinglian smiled faintly, looking at Houtu and the other ancestral witches with satisfaction.

This battle finally achieved its goal and dealt a heavy blow to Hongjun's arrogance. In the future, as long as he successfully takes control of the underground passage, he can gradually realize his brother's plan for the prehistoric world.

"Thank you, auntie!——"

Seeing Qinglian's admiring and expectant gaze, Houtu bowed respectfully and then used her divine powers to travel through time and space to descend into the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

“Swish!——”

Qinglian traversed the void in one step and arrived before Taichu and Tianyan.

The three exchanged a knowing glance, then all showed expressions of joy and relief.

"Qinglian——"

"Why don't you become the master of this place? What if Fellow Daoist Houtu is no longer the Ancestral Witch? Wouldn't that leave the 'Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation' with a huge flaw?"

Although this battle severely damaged Tiandao and Hongjun, if they recover, without the powerful trump card of the Twelve Capital Gods and Demons Formation, they may not be able to defeat him again.

"This was the mission my brother had entrusted to her!"

Qinglian looked up at Buzhou Mountain, the pillar of heaven.

"Moreover, my 'Dao' is not some underground path, but a 'Dao proven by force' that integrates all paths!"

For Qinglian—

Although the authority of the Primordial Tunnel is supreme, it is, in a sense, a shackle, far inferior to the true 'Great Dao' that one pursues!
Back to the Pangu Hall.

Tongtian, who was about to go into seclusion, sensed the auras of Taichu and Qinglian and immediately opened his eyes.

"Thank you, auntie!——"

Although Tongtian's face was somewhat pale at this moment, his overall demeanor was incredibly relaxed and carefree, as if he had unloaded an extremely heavy burden and rediscovered himself.

He drew his 'Qingping Sword' and respectfully presented it to Qinglian.

"good!--"

Qinglian nodded gently, and with a flick of her sleeve, she took the Qingping Sword into her sea of ​​consciousness.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Tongtian!"

Tai Chu sensed his dashing and unrestrained temperament and stepped forward with a smile to offer her congratulations.

Tongtian, who was originally a pawn in Hongjun's scheme against the Great God Pangu, has now realized his mistake and abandoned his good and evil corpses. He has also cooperated with Qinglian to extract the Primordial Purple Qi of the Heavenly Dao.

This was a devastating blow to both Heaven and Hongjun.

Even if they recover in the future, with the underground passage that was born ahead of schedule, plus Tongtian, one of Pangu's primordial spirits, it will be much easier for them to target the Primordial Heavenly Dao.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist Taichu!——"

Tongtian smiled and returned the greeting.

"Reaching the Heavens—"

"You should focus on your seclusion to restore your original essence. If you need more Chaos Essence, just ask me for more!"

Qinglian waved her hand dismissively, signaling him to go to the main hall on the left for seclusion.

The eleven ancestral witches, including Dijiang, Rushou, Zhurong, and Gonggong, also came to their respective secluded halls to digest the gains and benefits of this battle, while also healing their own wounds.

"In the beginning——"

"When I controlled my brother's true form to fight against Hongjun, I sensed that he wasn't going all out. In your opinion, is there any other scheming involved?"

The three sat facing each other at the stone table in the center of the hall, and Qinglian's beautiful eyes, like autumn water, looked at Taichu.

As the true protagonist of this battle, she sometimes couldn't grasp the overall situation, so she consulted Tai Chu, who had been closely observing the battle, to see if he had any new insights.

"The reason Hongjun did this is probably to get rid of his identity as a pawn and puppet of the Heavenly Dao!"

"After all, as the first saint of the primordial world, he could have become a Great Dao Saint when he was proving the Great Dao of Hunyuan, but he became a Heavenly Dao Saint instead. It is clear that he was forced to do so because he was tricked by the Heavenly Dao."

"Now, through our scheme, we have provoked the Heavenly Dao to launch a full-scale attack. He will then take advantage of our abilities to obliterate the Heavenly Dao's consciousness, thereby usurping its power and taking control of the Heavenly Dao!"

Based on his understanding of the general situation, Taichu deduced Hongjun's motives for doing so.

"What a brilliant plan!"

"If this shameless Hongjun succeeds, he will become the Lord of Heaven, and it will be even more difficult for us to deal with him in the future!"

Although Hongjun was killed in this battle, it was the Heavenly Dao that was truly severely damaged.

If Hongjun could rule the Heavenly Dao, with his terrifying calculations and the Heavenly Dao's vast origin, even with the Earthly Dao as a trump card, he would not be able to completely destroy it!

Just as Tai Chu and Qing Lian remained silent, Hou Tu's divine sense transmission suddenly rang in their minds.

"Aunt, Tai Chu, I have successfully taken control of the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the Underworld!" (End of Chapter)
