Primordial Era: If I remain in Longevity Mountain, I will steadily attain sainthood.

Chapter 53 Demons Rule the Heavens, Witches Control the Earth

Generally speaking, the Great Thousand Worlds is an important node in the process of world advancement. After a world advances to become a Great Thousand Worlds, it often forms the Heavenly Dao of the World.

A world with the Heavenly Dao and a world without the Heavenly Dao are completely different concepts.

Just like the programs installed on a computer, a computer cannot run without programs.

Of course, this is just an analogy, not a complete equivalent.

However, with the emergence of the Heavenly Dao, the entire world is no longer limited to the growth of the world's subconscious.

This allows for more effective intervention, thereby accelerating the world's evolution.

At the same time, a variety of other functions will also emerge.

Hongyun has always combined his divine consciousness with the subconsciousness of the world, which is not much different from the way of heaven.

But it is only a simulation of the Heavenly Way and cannot be considered the true Heavenly Way.

Therefore, this step is extremely important for Hongyun.

You can experience what the true Heavenly Dao is. And unlike the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World, the Heavenly Dao born in his own universe is completely under his personal control.

Moreover, once the Qiankun World is upgraded to the Great Thousand World, Hongyun can also try to let this world directly devour and absorb the chaotic energy.

Previously, Hongyun did not allow the world to devour the chaotic energy because both the minor and middle worlds were still somewhat fragile compared to the chaotic energy.

It cannot withstand too much chaotic energy.

However, a small amount of chaotic energy is not of great significance to the world.

That's why Hongyun didn't absorb the chaotic energy.

But once the world is upgraded to a Great Thousand World, there will be no problem, since Hongyun's world is different from ordinary worlds.

With the existence of the Jianmu tree, the efficiency of converting chaotic energy is very high.

Meanwhile, as the Qiankun World absorbed the world's origin and continuously transformed and advanced, the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan finally launched their second great war.

Even amidst his busy schedule, Hongyun managed to spare a portion of his consciousness to observe this great battle.

This battle was far larger and more intense than the last one.

Both sides, in particular, revealed their true intentions.

The demon race's Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array and Hun Yuan He Luo Grand Array—once the two grand arrays were deployed, all the stars in the heavens were transformed into arrays.

This terrifying formation completely overturned everyone's perceptions in the prehistoric world. No one had ever imagined that a great formation could reach such a level.

The vast and boundless array seemed to hang incredibly low, as if the entire starry sky was suspended and revolving above everyone's heads.

The feeling of oppression and terror was almost indescribable.

however.

When the Witch Clan revealed their own grand formation, it once again refreshed everyone's understanding.

If we say that the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array of the demon race is the ultimate use of the power of heaven and earth...

So the Wu Clan's Heavenly God and Demon Formation takes the power of "human beings" to another extreme.

The art of formations emphasizes three aspects: timing, location, and human factors.

The demon race's Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array can be said to have completely seized the opportune moment; but the witch race's Du Tian Shen Sha Grand Array brought the "human element" to its extreme.

Because the Great Array of Heavenly Gods and Demons combines the power of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

And quantitative change led to qualitative change.

The twelve ancestral witches have merged.

Then, the true form of Pangu was born!

This is absolutely the most powerful physical body in the entire primordial world to date.

Even the ancient sage, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, did not possess such a powerful physical body; at least, Hongjun never demonstrated it.

This true form of Pangu was jointly controlled by the twelve Ancestral Witches, fighting against the Zhou Tian Star Array.

Even with the formidable power of the Zhou Tian Star Array, the Hunyuan Heluo Array provides support, and the Chaos Bell further suppresses it.

However, every strike from Pangu's true form caused immense damage to the Zhou Tian Star Array.

Of course, Pangu's true form was also suffering.

Now it's a battle of who can hold out longer and who can last until the end.

However, Hongyun knew that none of them could hold out until the end, because...

"BOOM!!"

An immense power of the Heavenly Dao directly suppressed the entire scene, including the Zhou Tian Star Array of the Demon Clan, the Pangu True Body of the Witch Clan, and the countless Witch Clan and Demon Clan members who were fighting fiercely.

They were all unable to move.

Then Hongjun appeared.

However, at this time, Hongjun Daozu was not a saint, but the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao, and had no personal feelings.

Only follow the way of Heaven.

Hongjun Daozu intervened and stopped the great war between the Wu Clan and the Demon Clan, because the Great Tribulation was not yet over, and the final settlement of cause and effect had not yet arrived.

Thus, a grand battle came to an end.

Hongjun Daozu also concluded that in the future, the demons would rule the heavens and the witches would govern the earth, and the two should not start a war without authorization until the end of the Great Calamity.

In addition, Hongjun Daozu also announced that the extra wisp of primordial purple energy that he gained after merging with the Dao would fall into the hands of someone destined to be with him a thousand years later.

This news was even more sensational than the forced cessation of the great war between the Lich and Demon races.

Countless powerful beings were eager to make their move.

Even Zhen Yuanzi came to discuss with Hongyun. Hongyun himself could not be moved, as he had to keep observing the advancement of the Qiankun World.

However, Hongyun also has incarnations. He can send out one of his benevolent incarnations to communicate with Zhen Yuanzi.

Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun did not covet the Primordial Purple Qi, since they already each possessed one.

However, this extra wisp of primordial purple energy, which was created because of Hongjun's merging with the Dao, would be fine if it fell into the hands of someone who was on good terms with him or was neutral.

But it wouldn't be good if it fell into the hands of someone you've fallen out with.

The two discussed some countermeasures and then waited to see how things would develop.

However, before a thousand years had passed, rumors were already spreading throughout the primordial world.

Sometimes it's said that the Primordial Purple Qi appeared in the South China Sea, sometimes in the East China Sea, or that it fell into the hands of someone.

Then the person either immediately jumped out to swear an oath or hurriedly ran away, because even if some people came out to explain, it was useless, and they were still killed.

For a time, the atmosphere in the primordial world was so tense that it was even more intense than the previous war between the Lich King and the Demon King.

However, a thousand years later, the primordial purple aura has still not appeared before the public.

This greatly disappointed the powerful beings who had finally begun to have a glimmer of hope.

They didn't doubt that Hongjun Daozu's words were false, but it was true that the Primordial Purple Qi was out of their reach.

However, at Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain, Hongyun heard a system notification: "Ding, it has been detected that the Primordial Purple Qi has fallen into the hands of Daoist Zhunti. The host may make the following choices."

"Option 1: Join forces with Zhen Yuanzi to seize Zhunti's Primordial Purple Qi, and you will receive a top-grade innate spiritual treasure as a reward."

"Option 2: Spread the news that Zhunti has obtained the Primordial Purple Qi, and you will be rewarded with a top-grade innate spiritual root."

"Option 3: If you neither steal Zhunti's Primordial Purple Qi nor reveal that he has obtained the Primordial Purple Qi, you will receive a Yin-Yang Origin as a reward."
