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

Chapter 251 The Pangu Stone Statue Swallows Purple Qi, the Fate of Humanity
chaos.

Zixiao Palace.

Hongjun sat cross-legged on auspicious nine-colored clouds, with a primordial crystal creation jade disc above his head, from which hung the power of three thousand Great Dao Laws and the origin of countless Heavenly Dao Rules.

Strands of the Heavenly Dao's origin and the rules of the Three Thousand Great Daos gradually merged, condensing into a special purple-gold seal, emanating the supreme aura of the Great Dao that dominates all paths.

"Om!—"

slowly.

A 'Heavenly Punishment Seal' manifested in Hongjun's sea of ​​consciousness.

The moment this seal appeared.

The purple-gold seal, formed from the three thousand Great Dao Laws and the power of the Heavenly Dao Origin, immediately disappeared into it.

Originally, Hongjun, who followed the natural way and was devoid of self and other things, seemed to have been 'revived'. Hundreds of millions of chaotic spiritual energies and the power of the three thousand Great Dao Laws rushed forward together.

"Woo!——"

"Woo!——"

The power of the Heavenly Dao's origin trembled gently, as if resisting, yet also as if cheering.

"I have finally gained control of fifty percent of the Heavenly Dao's will!"

"Next, once the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, and Zhunti attain sainthood, I will be able to refine this surging Heavenly Dao Origin, thereby completely erasing the Heavenly Dao Will and becoming the true Lord of the Heavenly Dao!"

Hongjun opened his eyes, and two beams of divine light of surprise burst forth from his ancient and simple pupils.

This time, when Nuwa molded humans from clay, she awakened the will of humanity. After successfully attaining the status of a Heavenly Saint, she not only brought the three powers of Heaven, Earth, and Man into full operation, but also greatly increased the origin of the Heavenly Dao.

Therefore——

In just over a million years, he not only completely healed the Dao injuries he suffered in the last great war, but also further gained control of 50% of the origin of the Heavenly Dao's will.

Hongjun has now officially broken free from the shackles of being the spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao and is about to become the Lord of the Heavenly Dao!
"Buzz!——"

Just as Hongjun was preparing to celebrate and rest, the origin of the Heavenly Dao's will gently groaned, and wisps of backlash swept over him, causing his face to turn pale involuntarily.

"That damned blue lotus again!—"

With a thought.

Hongjun immediately understood the detailed reason. His ancient and simple divine eyes pierced through all the chaotic space-time, crossed the primordial barrier, and landed in the Pangu Hall of Buzhou Mountain.

However, the Pangu Palace was formed from Pangu's head. In addition to suppressing the corpses of three thousand chaotic demon gods, it also contained extraordinary Dao will. With his current abilities, he simply could not see the details inside.

"When Qinglian destroyed that wisp of Primordial Purple Qi of Heavenly Dao in Tongtian, I should have taken back the Primordial Purple Qi in Hongyun's Sea of ​​Consciousness!"

Although he couldn't see what was happening inside the Pangu Palace, he could know through the backlash of the Heavenly Dao Origin that Qinglian had used the same trick again to extract the Primordial Purple Qi that had severed Hongyun's sea of ​​consciousness.

"Wow!——"

Hongjun decisively activated the Heavenly Punishment Seal, controlling the will of Heaven to prepare for the primordial purple energy to self-destruct.

Even if it costs us the very essence of the Heavenly Dao, we will make Qinglian and Taichu pay the price!

However, Qinglian had already made thorough preparations. Houtu, as the master of the Earthly Dao, controlled the will of the Earthly Dao and, together with the will of the Father God in the Pangu Palace, easily suppressed the will of the Heavenly Dao, completely ruining his plan to self-destruct.

"Azure Lotus, Earth Goddess, Primordial Beginning!—"

"You three just wait!"

Hongjun reluctantly withdrew the Heavenly Punishment Seal, feeling immense heartache as he sensed the disappearance of the Heavenly Dao's essence.

According to the destiny of heaven——

After Nuwa successfully created humans from clay and attained sainthood, the next step was for the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, and Zhunti to attain sainthood in turn.

However, due to Tai Chu's scheme and this setback, their chances of successfully attaining sainthood will be delayed by at least several decades or even millions of years. Their desire to become the Lord of Heaven will also be subject to many unexpected changes!

How could Hongjun not hate this?

…………

Pangu Hall.

Qinglian, controlling Pangu's will, successfully extracted and severed the Primordial Purple Qi in Hongyun's sea of ​​consciousness. Although he suffered severe damage due to Hongjun's resistance, resulting in the shattering of his true body and origin.

But under the nourishment of the 'Fountain of Chaos' in the beginning, there will be no risk on the path.

"Boom!—"

"Boom!—"

The Heart of Pangu detached from the Will of Pangu. It throbbed violently in the void, and then shot out a drop of essence blood, which directly entered the soul of the Red Cloud True Spirit.

“Swish!——”

Under the nurturing of this drop of essence blood, Hongyun immediately restored his true Dao body.

Congratulations, old friend!

When Zhen Yuanzi, who was initially extremely flustered, saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel genuinely happy for him.

This time, not only was the Primordial Purple Qi controlled by the Heavenly Dao extracted, but he also received the essence blood of Pangu and the Chaos Spring for nourishment. Once he digests it successfully, not only will his Dao Foundation rank be raised to a higher level, but he may even have the hope of awakening the Pangu inheritance!
"Thank you, Senior Qinglian, thank you, Goddess Houtu, thank you, Fellow Daoist Taichu!"

Hongyun bowed to the three people. At this moment, he felt his Dao heart was incredibly relaxed. This freedom from any constraints or limitations instantly allowed his Dao heart to break through to a new level.

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need for such formalities!"

Tai Chu smiled and returned the greeting, then gestured for him to immediately go into seclusion and try to refine the Chaos Essence Spring and Pangu's Blood Essence as soon as possible.

"aunt--"

"What should we do with this wisp of primordial purple energy?"

Houtu pointed at the broken Primordial Purple Qi and looked at Qinglian.

"Wow!——"

Just as Qinglian was pondering how to deal with the Primordial Purple Qi of Heaven, the Pangu stone statue in the center of the hall emitted a faint glow, instantly absorbing the two segments of Primordial Purple Qi into it.

"this?--"

Saw this scene.

Everyone present was slightly taken aback, and began to speculate among themselves.

'Is this a manifestation of God the Father?'

'Could it be that the great god Pangu did not perish, but has always existed in this Pangu Palace?'

Tai Chu had a vague guess that this might be related to Pangu's 'past' lingering resentment, just like when he saw His lingering resentment in the void of the Burial Coffin.

"alright!--"

"Now that the hidden danger has been completely eliminated, we should devote ourselves to seclusion and strive to attain the Great Luo Primordial Dao before the great calamity of heaven and earth. Only in this way will we have a chance to thwart Hongjun's conspiracy!"

Qinglian gave some instructions to Houtu, and then returned to Tianyuan Mountain with Taichu and Tianyan.

…………

Thirty-three days away.

Wa Palace.

After Nuwa passed down the complete Dao to the human race, she personally protected them for three thousand years before creating a vast world in the sky above the thirty-three heavens of the primordial world, named the Nuwa Palace.

To repay her teacher's kindness and to enlighten all living beings, she has passed down the teachings for tens of thousands of years.

As the day of the sermon drew near, countless top-tier beings from the primordial world flocked to the site.

Taiqing Laozi, Yuanshi, Tongtian, Jieyin, Zhunti, Dijun, Taiyi, and Kunpeng entered Nuwa Palace early, where they were warmly received and seated by Fuxi.

Besides these top-tier experts, there are countless quasi-saints, Grand Luo Dao masters, and Taiyi experts.

“Huh?——”

"Why haven't Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun arrived yet?"

As the day of the sermon drew near, many top-tier experts, not seeing Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun, couldn't help but show their curiosity.

As renowned top-tier innate deities in the primordial world, they were always kind to others and did not join any faction. How could they not come when faced with such an opportunity as Nuwa preaching?

"Whoosh!—" As the day of the sermon arrived, various extraordinary phenomena of the Great Dao began to manifest throughout the entire hall.

Flowers are falling from the sky and golden lotuses are emerging from the ground.

Purple clouds rise from the east, and rays of light shine in myriad directions.

Amidst the chanting of the Great Dao, a holy, elegant, and incomparably noble goddess appeared above the hall, as if she had traversed endless dimensions of time and space, spanning the infinitely distant past and future.

"Greetings, Goddess Nuwa!—"

"Greetings, Goddess Nuwa!"

The moment everyone saw this figure, they all stood up and bowed respectfully, even the three senior brothers, Sanqing, were no exception.

Di Jun and Tai Yi exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing curiosity.

Although Nuwa was the Queen of the Demon Clan, she immediately established the Nuwa Palace after leaving the human race, and even went into seclusion for a full 30,000 years. This is the first time the two brothers have seen her.

Regarding Nuwa—

Di Jun and Tai Yi had very complicated feelings.

He was delighted that she had attained sainthood, but he also felt somewhat resentful because she had inadvertently stolen his 'opportunity to attain sainthood' by creating the human race and awakening the will of humanity.

But at this moment, Di Jun completely let go.

He had already realized that the will of humanity had always been controlled by the Heavenly Dao. Even if it wasn't Nuwa who created the human race and awakened it, it would have been awakened by other divinely ordained saints.

As the Heavenly Emperor who rules the primordial world, it would be difficult for him to awaken his human will and prove the Great Luo of Primordial Chaos without the approval of the Heavenly Dao and the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

"You needn't stand on ceremony!"

Nuwa looked at all the listeners present and waved her right hand lightly.

"Om!—"

A gentle energy lifted everyone up, instantly giving them a refreshing feeling and invigorating their spirits.

"In this sermon, I will uphold the mission of a teacher to enlighten all living beings, and at the same time, I will share my enlightenment without reservation. I hope that you will gain something from listening to my sermon!"

After Nuwa finished speaking, she immediately began to expound on the Great Dao.

"At the beginning of chaos, at the beginning of the Great Dao."

"The Great Dao has three thousand paths, transcending eternity."

"........."

As she began to speak, billions of laws of the Great Dao surged forth, accompanied by abundant and pure innate spiritual energy, giving rise to all sorts of extraordinary phenomena of the Great Dao.

Everyone was bathed in this extraordinary phenomenon of the Great Dao, listening to her preach the true meaning of the Dao. Each person calmed their mind and comprehended it, and then various extraordinary phenomena manifested behind them.

In this sermon, she progressed from simple to complex, and shared her insights from her sermon without reservation.

At first, everyone could understand it, but as the sermons went deeper, only quasi-saints (primordial beings) could understand it.

Although Taiqing Laozi was angry that Nuwa wouldn't let him spread his teachings among the human race, after consulting his teacher Hongjun at Zixiao Palace, he learned that it was all Taichu's doing.

Therefore, he transferred all his hatred to Taichu, and he listened to the sermon with utmost seriousness.

at the same time--

Tongtian, who was not far away, frowned slightly. Ever since he destroyed his two corpses of good and evil, he had begun to cultivate the Father God's Dao-proving technique, "Nine Revolutions of Primordial Chaos".

I originally thought I would gain something from listening to my junior sister Nuwa's sermon, but I found that the 'Dao' she spoke of was too different from my own 'Dao', and her experience in proving the Dao was not very helpful to me.

"It seems that I can only learn from others' 'paths'; I can only forge my own 'path'!"

Three thousand years passed in a flash.

After Nuwa finished her sermon, the strange phenomena in the main hall continued unabated.

Everyone opened their eyes, each revealing a look of joy.

Some Taiyi masters directly attained the Great Luo realm, while others, as Great Luo masters, broke through to the Quasi-Saint realm by severing their own corpses.

Among them, the three who benefited the most were Yuanshi, Jieyin, and Zhunti.

After listening to Nuwa recount her insights on enlightenment without reservation, the primordial purple energy in their sea of ​​consciousness began to stir gently, radiating the pure power of the Heavenly Dao's origin, aiding them in gaining deeper understanding.

In the dim light—

The three of them seemed to see their own 'opportunity to attain enlightenment'.

"Thank you, Goddess Nuwa!"

"Thank you, Goddess Nuwa!"

Countless listeners rose to their feet and solemnly expressed their gratitude to Nuwa for spreading the teachings.

Next.

Nuwa exchanged pleasantries with the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, Zhunti, and others, and then her elder brother Fuxi personally escorted them out of the Nuwa Palace.

Meanwhile, Di Jun, Tai Yi, Kun Peng, and others remained in the main hall.

"Heavenly Emperor—"

"I created the awakening of humanity's will to follow. Do you resent me for stealing your opportunity to attain enlightenment?"

Nuwa looked at Dijun and parted her lips slightly.

"Your Majesty is too kind—"

"Human will has always been controlled by the will of Heaven, so how can I blame Your Majesty?"

Di Jun stood up, met her beautiful eyes with a serious expression, and looked at her with earnestness.

As the Heavenly Emperor who ruled the primordial world, his status was no less than that of the Heavenly Saints. Moreover, given their relationship, they were able to discuss the opportunity to intercept and prove their Dao so frankly.

"good!--"

"I am relieved that the Heavenly Emperor thinks this way!"

Nuwa nodded gently; she could sense the sincerity in Di Jun's words.

"May I ask, Your Majesty—"

"Our demon race's Heavenly Court aspires to unify the primordial world. Now, the human race you founded is favored by the will of humanity and is expected to become the new protagonist of destiny. If a conflict arises between you and our demon race in the future, how will it be resolved?"

Taiyi looked at Nuwa with a serious expression and asked this crucial question.

Humanity is currently weak, but with the blessings of humanity they receive, they are destined to rise to power in the future.

Once the human race becomes the third largest power in the prehistoric world, it will inevitably steal the human destiny that should belong to the demon race, which is intolerable for all members of the demon race.

"If the human race wants to become a match for the demon race, it will have to wait until at least after the Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth!"

Nuwa pondered for a moment but did not give Taiyi a definite answer.

She was the goddess Nuwa of the demon race, enjoying the fortune of the demon race.

However, the human race is the foundation upon which she attained enlightenment, and if the human race is destroyed by the demon race, it will also severely damage her.

Neither choice she made would align with her principles.

Therefore——

Nuwa could only leave everything to time.

Perhaps when the next great calamity of heaven and earth occurs, all the myriad races of the primordial world will be affected and annihilated, and then she herself will no longer have such a problem.

"I understand!"

"My Heavenly Court of the Demon Race can refrain from making things difficult for the human race out of respect for the Empress, but if the human race threatens my Heavenly Court in the future, or hinders my elder brother's attainment of the Great Luo Primordial Dao, then I will clear all obstacles for my elder brother!"

After Taiyi finished speaking, he bowed to Nuwa and strode out of Nuwa Palace.
