Primordial Era: A man at the mouth of the Guanjiang River marries the Third Holy Mother.

She thought this enormous cause and effect had been resolved after the Xuan Turtle was suppressed for eternity.

Unexpectedly, it actually managed to escape its predicament!

Will it come looking for me?

Nuwa murmured to herself, and for the first time, a hint of doubt arose in her heart regarding the lofty Heavenly Dao.

……

Jin'ao Island, Biyou Palace.

Ten thousand immortals came to pay homage, and the rosy clouds shone in countless directions.

The Tongtian Sect Leader sensed that aura, but merely raised an eyebrow slightly, a playful smile appearing on his lips.

"interesting."

"Another guy who dares to challenge the will of Heaven has emerged."

"This lifeless, desolate wilderness is finally going to become a bit more lively!"

Instead of being worried, he was somewhat gloating.

For him, all the rules and regulations in this world should be broken!

……

In the west, Mount Sumeru.

Beside the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, the sorrow on the Guide's face deepened.

Meanwhile, the eyes of the Taoist Zhunti, who was standing to the side, flashed with an unprecedented brilliance!

"Senior brother! Senior brother!"

The Daoist Zhunti rubbed his hands together excitedly, repeatedly saying, "A tremendous opportunity! This is a tremendous opportunity for our Western Sect!"

"This fiend has deep roots and boundless magical power. More importantly, it harbors a great grudge against both the Heavenly Dao and the Eastern Xuanmen!"

"This...this is the guardian beast that was born specifically for my Western Religion!!"

"As long as we can convert them, why should we worry about the decline of the West!"

Upon hearing this, the Guide Daoist simply sighed and slowly said, "Junior Brother, this matter is difficult."

……

And in the eye of the storm, there was the fairy island of Penglai.

Chen Changsheng was sitting cross-legged, regulating his breathing, barely suppressing the churning blood and qi within his body.

He looked at the Xuan Turtle Soul, roaring to the sky, venting the pain and ecstasy of countless years, and his heart was filled with emotion.

however.

He hadn't even had time to be happy.

An even more terrifying and despairing sense of crisis instantly enveloped his heart!

He looked up sharply.

Above the sky, the Heavenly Eye, which had been somewhat "dull" by his own attack, had now gone completely mad!

It no longer gathers any divine light or thunder.

The enormous eye began to collapse and shrink inward, all the radiance, all the laws, all the will, all transformed into a pure and ultimate concept of "annihilation"!

It wants to completely erase this "land of evidence" where the prisoners escaped due to its mistake, along with everything in it, from the very source!

This time, there is no chance of taking shortcuts!

The roar of the Xuan Turtle came to an abrupt halt, and its enormous soul body began to tremble uncontrollably under the lock of this concept of "annihilation".

That is a fear that originates from the very source of life!

Just out of prison, and they're going to be completely wiped out?

How pathetic! How laughable!

Chen Changsheng gripped the God-Slaying Spear tightly, shielding the Eastern Emperor Bell in front of him, preparing for a final, desperate struggle.

He knew that this time, it was truly... an inescapable fate.

When the Dao Ancestor appears, the Heavenly Dao retreats!

What kind of feeling is that?

It is not death, because death is followed by reincarnation.

It is not nothingness, because nothingness is also a concept.

That is "non-existent".

It is an ultimate will that will completely erase all traces, causes and effects, and everything from the past, present, and future of the river of time.

Under the lock of the Eye of Heaven, Chen Changsheng even felt his memories beginning to blur, as if the name "Chen Changsheng" itself was a mistake about to be corrected.

The enormous soul body of the Xuan Turtle began to become transparent, as if a gust of wind could blow it away.

The freedom it had just gained seemed so cheap and so ridiculous at this moment.

It’s over.

This time, it's really over.

These two words simultaneously surfaced in the minds of Chen Changsheng and Xuan Gui.

however.

In this deathly silence where even despair was about to be erased.

Above the thirty-three heavens, in the ancient and eternal Zixiao Palace, which only saints can enter.

A figure slowly stood up.

He was an ordinary-looking old Taoist priest in blue robes, with a simple and unadorned face and indifferent eyes, as if he were one with the Great Dao and as old as heaven and earth.

It was none other than the Dao Ancestor, Hongjun.

He's been watching.

From Chen Changsheng entering Penglai, to the Xuan Turtle recounting the secrets, to Chen Changsheng wielding a shovel and confronting the Heavenly Dao head-on.

Everything was under his watchful eye.

When he saw Chen Changsheng use the God-Slaying Spear to injure the Eye of Heaven, a hint of surprise flashed in his usually calm eyes.

When he saw Chen Changsheng plotting to "break the lock of the Heavenly Dao with the power of the Heavenly Dao", a faint smile even appeared on his indifferent face.

"A variable... indeed a variable."

"Since the beginning of time, you are the first person to dare to play tricks on the Heavenly Dao like this."

He looked down at Chen Changsheng, who was about to be completely annihilated, and slowly shook his head.

"However, this show should come to an end now."

"Your chess piece still has great use; we can't let it just disappear like this."

The words fell.

Hongjun Daozu stepped forward gently.

This step transcends infinite space and breaks through the barriers of time.

……

Penglai Fairy Island.

Just a fraction of a second before the "annihilation" will descended.

A figure appeared in front of Chen Changsheng and Xuan Gui without warning.

He had his back to the two of them, facing the rapidly collapsing Eye of Heaven.

He looked like an ordinary old Taoist priest in blue robes, with no magical fluctuations or awe-inspiring presence.

He stood there so ordinary, yet he seemed to become the only "reality" in this world on the verge of collapse.

The moment he appeared, the terrifying will that was capable of obliterating everything paused for a moment.

The chaotic and violent laws of the entire world instantly calmed down.

Chen Changsheng and Xuan Gui stared wide-eyed at the suddenly appearing figure in disbelief.

They can't see through it.

I can't see through it at all!

This old Taoist priest seemed to exist outside of this world, yet he stood there in a real way. This contradictory feeling made them feel confused and disoriented.

Who is this person?!

From the depths of the ancient memories inherited by the Xuan Turtle, a name it dared not utter for eternity surged forth, making its massive soul body even more terrified than when facing the Eye of Heaven!

The moment Chen Changsheng saw that figure from behind, a name immediately popped into his mind.

One name that represents supreme authority throughout the entire primordial world.

Just then.

The old Taoist in green slowly raised his head and looked up at the eye in the sky that represented the will of Heaven.

His voice was calm and hoarse, yet it carried an unquestionable authority, even a majesty that transcended the rules.

"That's enough."

He spoke slowly, addressing the enraged Eye of Heaven.

"Heavenly Dao, stop!"

Just four simple words.

But it was like a divine decree that became law!

boom!

The Heavenly Eye in the sky trembled violently!

That inward-collapsed will to "annihilate" was abruptly halted!

An even more violent anger and resentment emanated from the Eye of Heaven.

It disagrees!

It is the supreme will of the primordial world; why should it obey the commands of a mere living being?!

However, Hongjun simply watched it quietly, his eyes remaining indifferent.
