I, the Chaos Entity, joined the chat group at the start.

Chu Luoli: "Brother Digu, you can think of the Highland Clan as the biggest behind-the-scenes mastermind in all the heavens, possessing the power to corrupt Immortal Emperors and bring misfortune upon them. And here, in our timeline, you were corrupted by the Dark Immortal Emperor of the Highland shortly after you were promoted to Immortal Emperor."

The Heaven-Mending Saintess: "Indeed, after you were corrupted, you gave birth to a dark primordial spirit, and because of your direct influence, four dark quasi-immortal emperors were born, who have been reaping the benefits of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths behind the scenes."

Holy Maiden Didou: "Later, you became the Dark Immortal Emperor, the big boss, and were killed by the Desolate Heaven Emperor!"

Corpse Immortal Emperor: "?? Who is the Desolate Heaven Emperor?"

The Corpse Immortal Emperor was shocked. Even if he was corrupted, he was still an Immortal Emperor. How could he have been killed?

Black Emperor: "@Loves drinking animal milk the most, this is the one."

Loves drinking animal milk: "Dog, believe me or not, I'll stew you."

Black Emperor: "Tch..."

Corpse Immortal Emperor: "...No wonder the chat group calls me Corpse Immortal Emperor. I was wondering when I got this title."

He loves drinking animal milk: "Anyway, nothing has happened yet, there's still a chance to change things."

Xu Yi: "It can indeed be changed, but you should have been targeted the moment you became an Immortal Emperor. I estimate that the Dark Immortal Emperor on the plateau is now close to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and is preparing to deal with you."

Corpse Immortal Emperor: "In a head-on confrontation, I have no fear of the Dark Immortal Emperors of the Plateau. Watch me slay them!"

Black King: "Watch out for a rollover."

Corpse Immortal Emperor: "No."

Despite saying that, the Corpse Immortal Emperor was still a little nervous, because he was not sure if he would really be corrupted as Chu Feng said, and then seal himself away for countless eras, with his physical body being corroded by dark matter.

Corpse Immortal Emperor: "However, I have another question!"

Chu Luoli: "What's the problem? Brother Digu?"

Corpse Immortal Emperor: "It seems there are quite a few beings from our world's background in this group. Several of them come from different timelines."

Chu Luoli: "Indeed, but it's nothing, we can just sit back and enjoy the show."

Corpse Immortal Emperor: "Eating melon? What melon?"

My favorite drink is animal milk: "Eat watermelon!"

Imperial Saintess: "Eat watermelon!"

Black Emperor: "Eat watermelon!"

Corpse Immortal Emperor: "???"

Chapter 396 The Advancement of the Ancestral Witches, the Predestined Fate of Heaven

Taoist temple.

Wei Lingying exited the chat group and pinched herself. A sharp pain shot through her, and she realized that this was not a dream, but something that had actually happened and existed.

"The other members are all so strong, I feel so out of place," Wei Lingying muttered to herself.

Like a husky that has infiltrated a pack of wolves, she felt a lot of pressure.

Having cultivated the Tao for many years, my mind, which was originally calm and undisturbed, is now somewhat disordered.

She turned on her computer, and a message notification popped up on the main screen. It was from a US agent.

The other party is a high-ranking agent who has been trying to recruit her into the Valorant organization to help its members with her abilities.

However, being far away in a foreign country, Wei Lingying did not agree, but they still kept in touch.

She was informed that a group of international mercenaries had smuggled themselves into her area, intending to steal from an ancient imperial tomb.

“獜墓伲蔽衡彫摫砬閲烂C。”

It would be extremely difficult for foreign mercenaries to infiltrate her place; they would practically never be able to get in.

However, with the development of energy technology, all kinds of superhumans have emerged, and there are countless lurkers. Current technology sometimes has loopholes, making it difficult to identify them.

Energy was meant to benefit the world and overcome various medical challenges, but it has been turned into weapons and even genetic test subjects by ambitious individuals, causing turmoil throughout the world.

"Ding, the Great Road quest has been triggered. Stop the tomb raiders' mercenaries from excavating the emperor's tomb. The quest is complete, and you have earned 3,000 points."

At this moment, the voices in the Dadao chat group rang out.

“Another mission has arrived. This time, let me stop them.” Wei Lingying’s eyes became extremely determined.

……

In the primordial world, the Wu tribe resides in the Buzhou Mountain region.

At this moment, Houtu was reading the mythological books sent by Fairy Yunxiao, which included the great calamities of various eras and what would happen in the future.

After reading it, Houtu gained a deeper understanding of the world, but felt more powerless. This was the destiny set by Heaven, and even she could not change it.

The predetermined course of Heaven means that things are destined to happen. Even if some things are changed, Heaven will make other adjustments in order to correct the world and push the outcome in the direction it was supposed to happen.

"No, since I've been allowed to join this Great Dao Chat Group, that's a variable, and it can definitely be changed." Houtu's eyes suddenly blazed.

To prevent her brothers from perishing, and for the future of the witch clan, she was determined to fight.

With this in mind, Houtu went directly to the Pangu Temple of the Wu tribe.

They were born from the essence of Pangu's blood, possessing one of the three thousand Great Dao Laws, and inheriting the physical gifts and powerful strength of their father god, Pangu.

The Pangu Temple is the birthplace of the Ancestral Witches and also the place where they cultivated themselves.

As soon as Houtu arrived at the Pangu Temple, she heard her brothers talking inside.

"Brother, that scoundrel Dijun is too arrogant. This time he occupied a piece of our Wu clan's territory and killed many Wu clan warriors!" Ancestral Wu Zhurong roared.

"The Witch and Demon races have been fighting for a long time. This time, the Demon race has gone to such lengths, it seems they are determined to fight to the death with my Witch race," said the Ancestral Witch Zhu Jiuyin.

The Ancestral Witches looked at their eldest brother, Dijiang, hoping that he would lead them to fight the demon race.

As the eldest of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Dijiang also mastered the laws of space and his strength reached the late stage of Quasi-Saint. In addition to his Ancestral Witch body, he was one of the strongest beings under the Saints on this land.

Compared to other fiery Ancestral Witches, Dijiang's personality is relatively stable. However, he was furious that the demon race had occupied a piece of his territory and wanted to fight back. But compared to the demon race, the power of the Ancestral Witches was too small.

The demon race encompasses almost 90% of all living beings on this land.

Of all living beings created by nature, almost all other creatures besides humans can be called demons, and most of them have joined the Demon Court.

The Ancestral Witch was strong individually, but weak and alone, and could not withstand a group attack.

"Brothers, is this battle really necessary? The war between the Lich and Demon races has lasted for many years, and the losses are too great," Houtu asked as she walked in.

"Sister Houtu, what brings you here?" Xuanming, the Ancestral Witch of Rain, looked surprised.

"Sister Houtu, didn't you go to the human race?!" The ancestral witch Zhurong exclaimed in surprise.

"Sister Houtu, you've finally arrived," Dijiang said.

"Brothers, for us Ancestral Witches, staying here at Buzhou Mountain is enough. There is no need to continue fighting with the demon race for territory," Houtu said.

Buzhou Mountain is not just a mountain; its area is so vast that it can be said to be boundless. It was also once the Taoist temple of the goddess Nuwa, and many ancient powerful beings lived here.

The Ancestral Witches clan only occupied a small area on Mount Buzhou.

"Houtu, you don't understand. I have been tolerant enough of the demon race, but Dijun wants to become the ruler of this world and control this land step by step. Even if we stay in Buzhou Mountain, the demon race will eventually invade this place."

"Moreover, this land was created by the Father God, how could it possibly be given to Di Jun?" Di Jiang said.

"That's right, that brat Di Jun is too arrogant. He's relying on the Chaos Bell to protect him, otherwise I would have destroyed him long ago." The Ancestral Witch Zhu Rong was furious, his head blazing with anger.

The Chaos Bell is a supreme innate spiritual treasure. It is the personal spiritual treasure of Emperor Jun's brother, Donghuang Taiyi. With the defensive power of the Chaos Bell, it is enough to prevent anyone below the level of a saint from breaking through its defenses. Even the physical body of an ancestral witch cannot be damaged.

“Recently, the demon race has been capturing humans on a large scale, using their blood and souls to forge the Witch-Slaying Sword, all in an attempt to target the Ancestral Witches. Once this magic weapon is successfully created, it will be detrimental to us!” said the Time Ancestral Witch, Zhu Jiuyin.

"Houtu, now that you've returned, don't leave again. Let's, the twelve Ancestral Witches, practice the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation together. Once we successfully cultivate this formation, we can once again unleash the power of our Father God."

"Even if Di Jun is protected by the Chaos Bell, we can still kill him then," Di Jiang said.

The Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation is the last and strongest trump card of the Ancestral Witches. Possessing this trump card, one can even fight against a sage in a short time, because this formation can summon the physical body of Pangu!

"Brother, you will perish. Even if the physical body of Father Pangu is truly restored, that battle will inevitably be fierce." Houtu's face was filled with sorrow.

"Sister Houtu, the Ancestral Witch would rather die standing than be suppressed by that Dijun. Our Father God stands tall and upright, his spine has never bent. As descendants of our Father God, we will never allow a monstrous bird to ride on our heads!" Zhurong shouted, wishing he could rush out immediately to fight the demon race.

"Sister Houtu, do you know something?"

The Ancestral Witch Zhu Jiuyin, who possesses the power to see into the future, discovered that Houtu was acting strangely today, but a mysterious force was hindering him, and he could only guess.

Chapter 397 Sacrificial Cultivation, Ye Qingxian's Departure

Cemetery of Gods and Demons.

"Am I not dead? But why can't I feel my body?"

As his consciousness left the Great Dao chat group, Chen Nan felt as if he were dead again, or rather, half-dead. Because he only had consciousness but could not feel his own consciousness, could not feel his limbs, could not feel anything at all, only a pitch-black void.

"Where is this?"

Chen Nan's memories are stuck ten thousand years ago, but he doesn't know that the outside world has undergone tremendous changes, and the whole world has changed drastically.

Ten thousand years ago, it seemed as clear to him as yesterday.

Ten thousand years ago, he was the number one among his peers, cultivating the Chen family's Demon Summoning Scripture. His skills were profound, and at a young age, his strength was almost on par with the older generation. He was incredibly successful. His father was also the head of the Chen family, and his talent was extraordinary.

Unfortunately, Chen Nan was ambushed by Tan Tai Xuan, who sealed his power. No matter how he cultivated, his power continued to decrease.

"Tantai Xuan!"

Chen Nan thought of this woman, a peerless woman of extraordinary wisdom, ethereal and dreamlike, whose talent was no less than his own. Why would she do this?

For Chen Nan, Tan Taixuan was also his first love.

Yesterday's events flashed before his eyes: his father mysteriously disappeared without a trace; as the young master of the Chen family, he fought a duel with the Chen family's sworn enemy and ultimately died in battle.

Looking back now, Chen Nan felt that everything about his life was shrouded in mystery, as if an invisible hand was pushing him forward.

In the darkness and nothingness, Chen Nan didn't know how long he had been asleep. With the Great Dao Chat Group around, this desolate time wasn't so boring and torturous.

Until this day, in the darkness, a sliver of light shone through, and Chen Nan vaguely sensed the presence of his body; he was reviving.

……

The Heaven-Covering Dimension.

In the desolate forbidden zone, Xu Yi cultivated. Now a Celestial Emperor, his cultivation steadily improved. However, at this level, simply increasing power was not very meaningful. To advance further, he had to reduce and seek emptiness, sacrificing the supreme Dao and everything he owned, in order to reach the Sacrifice Dao Realm.

His cultivation was enough to suppress a sacrificial Daoist, but he was not a true sacrificial Daoist after all.

At this level, one no longer needs the supplies from the external world, so it doesn't matter which world one stays in.

Because of him, the world of Shrouding the Heavens began to rapidly evolve into the original Immortal Realm.

With the existence of a Celestial Emperor, the world in which the Celestial Emperor resides naturally grows rapidly.

Because of Xu Yi, the Heavenly Heart Mark born into this world is also undergoing transformation, gaining profound consciousness, similar to the Heavenly Way, but also different.

The Heavenly Dao controls everything, past and future, but this Heavenly Heart Mark has been transformed because of Xu Yi. Everything about it is now under Xu Yi's control, and the Heavenly Heart Mark understands this, so it naturally respects Xu Yi.

"Offering sacrifices to the Way!"

Xu Yi comprehended the realm of sacrificial rites. Although he knew the cultivation method for this realm, he dared not easily step into it.

Sacrifice everything, transcend all paths.

If successful, one will naturally attain great power. But if one fails, one will also be rendered utterly useless due to the karma of the sacrifice.

This level of attainment cannot be achieved overnight; it requires the accumulation of time.

Xu Yi finished his cultivation and sensed that Ruthless Sister was still in seclusion. During this time, Ruthless Sister had been consolidating her Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm. The forced advancement using the Devouring Heaven Demon Art system had left some side effects.

Both Emperor Venerable and Wushi were attempting to reach the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm in the Supreme Hall.

As for the other supreme beings, they are also searching for their own path.

Ye Fan is walking the path of immortality in the mortal world, experiencing countless dreams in the human realm.

On this day, Ye Qingxian found Xu Yi and said directly, "Master Xu, after staying in your timeline for so many years, I think it's time for me to return to my own world."

Ye Qingxian immediately traveled to the past of her own world, but unfortunately, she arrived too early, before the Desolate Emperor was even born. Later, she joined the Great Dao Chat Group and ended up here with Ye Fan.

Now that he has reached the quasi-Immortal Emperor realm, if he were to return to his own time and space, he would be a great help, able to fight alongside his grandfather.
