Primordial Era: I am a member of the Jie Sect, and I am the God of Literature.

Chapter 200: Xiqi suffers a crushing defeat, Ji Chang perishes in the primordial world, and the people fight against injustice; the Book of Changes escapes into the primordial world, Bai Ze receives its blessing.

As Di Xin swung his sword, the sharp and powerful sword intent seemed to be able to destroy the entire prehistoric world. It had the momentum of a high-level or even peak-level Hunyuan Golden Immortal, and it slashed at Ji Chang's Houtian Bagua with overwhelming force.

In this sharp and powerful strike, Ji Chang's Later Heaven Bagua seemed as easy as tofu, easily sliced ​​open by Di Xin's blade, which then relentlessly slashed towards Ji Chang.

Sensing the attack that was causing his soul to explode, Ji Chang roared and no longer concealed any of his strengths or methods.

Despite using all his methods, it seemed that the heavens were not on his side this time. After being struck by this blade, his aura was no longer what it had been, and he quickly weakened. With just one strike, Ji Chang suffered a considerable minor injury.

"The will of Heaven is irreversible? I, Ji Chang, will try!" After being wounded by this attack, Ji Chang seemed to have conformed to the great trend of Heaven for ten thousand years. It was nothing in front of him. He just wanted to see what would happen if he went against the will of Heaven.

"With the principles of the Book of Changes and the dignity of a sage king, I will ignite the blood of my sages, illuminate the heavens, and survey the eight wastelands!" Ji Chang's eyes were bloodshot, as if he had been possessed by a demon.

Originally, the treasure he had used to achieve enlightenment, the Book of Changes, appeared above his head, gathering the fortune from all directions. At this moment, his martial arts blood began to burn, and the Eight Trigrams of the Later Heaven circulated behind him, causing the space to shatter layer by layer. His aura reached its peak, even surpassing his previous strength.

"The Emperor emerges from Zhen, aligns with Xun, meets in Li, serves in Kun, speaks in Dui, battles in Qian, labors in Kan, and completes his words in Gen." Ji Chang's voice echoed across the primordial land, and countless beings listened and watched the human race's nine provinces in silence.

It seemed as if Ji Chang was preaching to all living beings in the primordial world at this moment.

"Now, Ji Chang, taking advantage of the ten thousand years of celestial timing, seeks the opportunity for all things in the primordial world. The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and there is still one escape. Now, Ji Chang will test this with his own body. If I perish, my Later Heaven Eight Trigrams will allow all the myriad spirits of the primordial world to interpret its Dao, and all the myriad spirits of the primordial world will seek the escape, defying the Dao of Heaven!"

As Ji Chang spoke, his aura began to slowly ignite, and the "Book of Changes," this superior acquired treasure of merit, seemed to embody all of Ji Chang's Dao.

"Fight!" With Ji Chang's angry shout, even Di Xin's gaze towards Ji Chang changed.

"Haha, now that's a worthy opponent for me! This is the true meaning of our human race's military might and strategic ambition!" Di Xin's voice was filled with majesty and domineering.

But it seemed to have aroused Di Xin's fighting spirit, as the phoenix armor on his body began to exude the power of a high-grade acquired merit.

The Great Shang Dynasty's Qi Yun Xuan Niao (a mythical bird) also appeared out of nowhere above Di Xin's head, and the Qi Yun of the semi-human race, like a long river in space and time, flowed upside down into Di Xin's body.

As the fortunes of the Shang Dynasty and the human race converged into Di Xin's body, the Nine Cauldrons couldn't help but tremble slightly, unleashing wave after wave of suppressive power.

It seems that at this moment, Di Xin is the true emperor of the Nine Provinces!

"With the will of the people, with the wrath of the people, and bearing the punishment of the people, this is the will of the solitary ruler to understand the ways of the world and to receive the punishment of the people."

"It contains all living beings and things, and has the power to swallow the world, suppress the eight wastelands, and look down upon all living beings!" Although Di Xin's voice was very soft, the divine power condensed on the Hongming Blade made the world seem to lose its color.

"Come and fight!" Facing Di Xin's attack, Ji Chang was completely unafraid. The burning of his martial blood seemed to fill the place with the ancient laws of martial arts, and also caused many changes in Ji Chang's will.

Everyone watched this scene in silence, and countless people even held their breath, afraid of missing this epic battle.

The ancient sages of the human race, the primordial saints, and the top experts in the Fire Cloud Cave were all like this. The commotion in the Nine Provinces was truly enormous, even reaching the peak of the Quasi-Saint level...

The ministers of Xiqi, Ji Fa, and others all wore expressions of grief. Although Ji Fa had been mentally prepared, every time he saw his father's appearance, it felt as if a knife was deeply stabbing into his heart.

"The Way of Heaven... defying the Way of Heaven..." Ji Fa kept muttering to himself, as if he were a contradiction.

As the two engaged in their ultimate battle, the entire sky above Golden Rooster Ridge seemed to shatter. The power of their battle grew ever more overwhelming. Even those without the Great Luo Golden Immortal or martial arts level could not see anything on Golden Rooster Ridge, only feel the terrifying pressure.

After an unknown period of time, the Nine Cauldrons were activated on their own and began to suppress the terrifying aftershocks.

The imposing aura above Jinji Ridge gradually dissipated, and soon the armies of the Shang and Xiqi could see Emperor Xin and Ji Chang.

At this moment, Di Xin had already sheathed the Hongming Blade, and stood with his hands behind his back. His aura was as thick and vast as an abyss. Originally, his aura was that of a beginner in martial arts, but now it seemed to be showing signs of breaking through to the middle level of martial arts.

"I have lost..." Ji Chang's voice echoed in all directions. At the same time, his aura was no longer what it had been, and he had even lost his martial intent.

"Those who are rooted in Heaven are close to those above; those who are rooted in Earth are close to those below. Thus, each follows its own kind. A marsh without water is in distress. A wise man will risk his life to fulfill his ambition!"

"Hahaha~" As Ji Chang's words echoed throughout the primordial world, his entire body turned to ashes on the spot.

At this point, Ji Chang's soul and spirit were completely destroyed, leaving no trace of him on the prehistoric land. Even the Heavenly Dao, in its search for his traces and its desire to place him on the Investiture of the Gods list, could not find a single trace of Ji Chang.

At this time, the Book of Changes also became an ownerless treasure. When Ji Fa, who was originally filled with grief, wanted to take down his father's relic, the Book of Changes simply broke through the air and disappeared from the Nine Provinces of the human race, heading straight towards the prehistoric land, and in an instant, there was no trace of the Book of Changes.

Thus, the original Zhouyi, which followed the Lianshan and Guicang, disappeared into the primordial world. Although the Later Heaven Bagua had been spread among the human race, its doctrine was incomplete and imperfect!

Now the Book of Changes has vanished into the primordial world, and the human race has completely lost its complete inheritance of the Book of Changes...

"So be it, so be it. In the end, the Eight Trigrams are not meant for our human race!" Suirenshi's voice echoed in the Fire Cloud Cave. As for the whereabouts of the Book of Changes, they no longer bothered to investigate.

Ji Chang lived his entire life in accordance with the will of Heaven, yet in the end he chose to defy it. Did he truly defy Heaven? Perhaps he succeeded, perhaps he didn't...

In the end, it was another prodigy of their race who fell...

In the primordial land, there is a beast on the eastern mountain. It has a tiger's head, red hair and horns, a dragon's body, and four legs that are in a flying posture. It can speak, understand the feelings of all things, and know the affairs of ghosts and gods. It is called the Bai Ze Auspicious Beast!

This is an extremely young Bai Ze named Bai Sheng. He was only a few thousand years old and has decent aptitude. He is only at the Heavenly Immortal Realm, but he doesn't like to cultivate and prefers to roam the prehistoric world...

Their ancestor can be traced back to Bai Ze, the demon saint during the Lich War. After the Lich War, the demon race disappeared from the primordial world, and their clan took root in Dongwang Mountain.

Just then, as Bai Sheng lay on a large rock, she seemed to vaguely see a shooting star, which even seemed to be heading straight for her. Instantly, Bai Sheng was wide awake, and her delicate beast face was filled with terror.

Before she could take any action, the shooting star seemed to rush into her mind, and the overwhelming influx of information made her dizzy and faint.

This was not a shooting star, but Ji Chang's "Book of Changes". When it first appeared on the primordial land, it attracted the attention of countless powerful beings. When they saw this magical treasure heading straight for Dongwang Mountain, the elders of the Bai Ze clan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The legacy left behind by a powerful being from the primordial era actually chose his Bai Ze clan—this is an incredibly fortunate event.

A spiritual treasure with such power must be at least a legacy from the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal or a Quasi-Saint!
