Primordial Era: I am a treasure trove, full of magical treasures.

The vertical line between Zhu Jiuyin's brows suddenly lit up, and patterns of time and space flowed, collapsed, and recombined within it, as if containing endless possibilities. The light in the hall distorted accordingly, and the shadows of everyone stretched and shortened, as if being kneaded by an invisible hand. Zhu Jiuyin's gaze seemed to pierce through the stone walls of the Pangu Hall, looking towards countless intertwined, branching, and annihilated rivers of the future.

After a long while, the light in his eyes suddenly dimmed, his face turned slightly pale, he groaned, and took half a step back.

"How is it?" Dijiang asked in a deep voice.

"It's unfathomable. The secrets of heaven are shrouded in layers of mist, and a powerful will lies across the river of fate, disturbing cause and effect." Zhu Jiuyin's breathing calmed down slightly, and his voice carried a rare solemnity. "But the movements of the demon army are not entirely concealed. The power of the stars in the heavens is converging at the intersection of the northern and western slopes of Buzhou Mountain, its momentum as deep as an abyss, stagnant and yet unleashed... That should be their next, and most important, location for burying the Corrosive Vein Nails, or rather... the 'trigger point'."

He traced a line in the air with his fingertip, and a point of dark golden light outlined the phantom of Mount Buzhou. On the northwest side of the mountain, a point suddenly lit up with a scarlet light. "Once this node is detonated, it will not only severely damage the main ridge of Mount Buzhou, but also completely disrupt the flow of the earth's energy within a radius of billions of miles. At that time, the signs of the sky tilting to the northwest and the earth sinking to the southeast will appear ahead of schedule. Although Mount Buzhou may not collapse immediately, the 'power' that supports the primordial world will show its first crack."

"We must stop it!" Houtu declared resolutely, her eyes gleaming with a heavy yellow light. "The spine of the Father God cannot be desecrated!"

"That's not all," Zhu Jiuyin added, turning his gaze to Zhen Yuanzi, "Fellow Daoist, have you sensed any subtle fluctuations in other ancestral veins of the prehistoric world besides Buzhou Mountain?"

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi immediately closed his eyes and concentrated, placing his palm on the slightly warm Earth Book. The illusory images of mountains and rivers reappeared, this time covering a wider area, encompassing the outline of the entire prehistoric continent. While the Daoist temples of a few sages remained unchanged, the remaining ancestral veins of the prehistoric world showed scattered but exceptionally glaring black-red spots, like a malignant tumor clinging to the bone. Although not activated, they faintly echoed the fluctuations from the direction of Mount Buzhou.

"Indeed!" Zhen Yuanzi's eyes snapped open, filled with shock and rage. "What a grand scheme! Di Jun and Tai Yi actually intend to use Buzhou Mountain as a catalyst to manipulate all the major ley lines of the primordial world! If they succeed, even if Buzhou Mountain doesn't collapse, the innate spiritual energy of the entire primordial world will be disrupted and decay, accelerating the descent of heaven and earth into the end of the Dharma era countless times! And the Zhou Tian Star Array, capable of operating amidst the endless power of the stars... will become the demon race's greatest reliance for dominating the primordial world!"

A deathly silence fell over the hall. The demon race's scheme was far more profound and ruthless than they had anticipated. This was not merely a war against the witch race; it was a war to shake the very foundations of the primordial world and reshape the order of heaven and earth!

"The demon race... they're trying to extinguish the very foundation of cultivation for all living beings!"

"Severing the connection between heaven and earth, monopolizing the stars... Emperor Jun and Taiyi, what a huge appetite!" Di Jiang's voice was deep and rumbling like thunder, his eyes burning with unprecedented fighting spirit and a trace of cold clarity. This was no longer just a conflict between the Lich King and the Demon King; it was a calamity for the survival of the primordial world.

"This matter must be proclaimed throughout the primordial world!" Houtu stepped forward, the Daoist energy of the earth resonating naturally, clearing the heavy atmosphere in the hall. "All races of the primordial world, regardless of their past ties with the Wu Clan or where they reside, depend on the spiritual energy of the earth's veins for survival. If the earth's veins are destroyed, the spiritual energy will be severed, which is to uproot all living beings! The demon race's plan has violated a grave taboo!"

"Indeed." Zhen Yuanzi clapped his hands, the light of the Earth Book receded, but his expression became even more resolute. "This Earth Book of mine can manifest the map of the primordial earth veins, recording the actual situation of the heavenly deduction and the earth vein anomalies just now. This is irrefutable evidence! Even if a sage conceals the heavenly secrets, this 'effect' that has already occurred, this 'phenomenon' of the earth veins trembling, cannot be faked."

"How can we transmit the message?" Zhu Jiuyin's brow furrowed slightly. "Ordinary messages would likely be intercepted by the power of the celestial bodies or interfered with by other means before even leaving the territory of the Wu Clan. Besides, time is of the essence..."

A glint flashed in Dijiang's eyes as he looked at Zhurong and Gonggong: "Our Wu tribe possesses the oldest and most direct method of communication since the beginning of time—blood sacrifice to communicate with spirits, resonating with our ancestral lineage!"

Upon hearing this, Zhurong and Gonggong both turned solemn. This method is extremely energy-intensive and requires the essence and blood of the ancestral witches as a catalyst to connect with Buzhou Mountain, the spine of heaven and earth, and to forcefully transmit thoughts and information through the primordial earth vein network, covering a very wide area and almost ignoring most blockades. However, it places a considerable burden on the caster.

"In times of emergency, expediency is necessary!" Without hesitation, Dijiang forced a drop of dark golden blood, wreathed in spatial fluctuations, from his fingertip, which hovered in the air. "In the name of Dijiang, I ask the Father God's spine as witness to deliver this warning to all living beings in the primordial world!"

"We second that!" Houtu, Zhujiuyin, Zhurong, Gonggong, and even the other Ancestral Witches who had just returned, all forced out a drop of their own essence blood. The twelve drops of Ancestral Witch essence blood, each a different color and containing the power of different laws, gathered together, emanating a vast and ancient aura that made Zhen Yuanzi take notice.

The twelve drops of essence blood swirled and merged in the center of the Pangu Palace, eventually transforming into a chaotic blood-red light that plunged into the earth below and merged into the Buzhou Mountain.

Deep within Mount Buzhou, inside the Pangu Palace.

Dijiang faced the void, his voice resonating through the ancestral veins and booming outwards:

"Hear, all spirits of the primordial world! I am Dijiang of the Wu Clan! Now, the demons Dijun and Taiyi are acting perversely, secretly planting the evil 'Eroding Vein Nails' on Mount Buzhou and other vital locations of the great ancestral veins of the primordial world, plotting to detonate the earth's veins, disrupt spiritual energy, accelerate the end of the Dharma, and make their Zhou Tian Star Array reign supreme, severing the foundation of all spirits' cultivation and effectively cutting off the connection between heaven and earth!"

As he spoke, the power of the ancestral witch's blood essence, which was integrated into Buzhou Mountain, mixed with the distribution map of the Corrosion Vein Nails extracted from Zhen Yuanzi's Earth Book (especially the black and red spots on other ancestral veins) and the tragic scene of the earth cracking and water surging after Buzhou Mountain was detonated, transformed into powerful ripples of will. Following the crisscrossing network of earth vein spiritual energy beneath the primordial land, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, it stirred up towering waves, surging towards all directions of the primordial land, to all mountains, caves, secret realms, and racial settlements connected to the earth veins!

The Northern Sea, Kunpeng Palace.

Kunpeng was calculating the secrets of heaven when suddenly his mind was shaken. The earth's veins, connected to the eye of the North Sea, transmitted astonishing sights and information. His face darkened: "Emperor Jun and Taiyi... they actually resorted to this ruthless plan! If the Zhou Tian Star Array becomes the sole source of spiritual energy, will my Beiming lineage be left dependent on them? Hmph!"

West Kunlun, the sacred land of Yaochi.

The Queen Mother of the West's face was icy cold, and the Kunlun Mirror in her hand reflected the state of Mount Buzhou: "Emperor Jun and Taiyi, their hearts are wicked! Issue an order to the Western Kunlun Loose Immortal Alliance: all virtuous cultivators shall join the ranks of those who vanquish demons!"

One by one, reclusive masters and regional overlords, some with hair standing on end in anger, others with gloomy faces, rose from their dojos and caves, their gazes fixed on Mount Buzhou and the heavens above.

Countless small and medium-sized races and rogue cultivators wept bitterly at the impending demise of their cultivation paths, their eyes bloodshot at their fate of being treated like dirt by the demon race, and their teeth clenched in resentment at the daily oppression of the Heavenly Court... The resentment and fear that had accumulated over countless eons were completely ignited at this moment, turning into a raging inferno!

"Slay the demon!"

"Protect my path, guard my primordial wilderness!"

"We must not let the demons succeed!"

The roars started sporadically, then merged into a continuous roar, eventually converging into a deafening wave that swept across the primordial world! Streams of energy, strong or weak, shot into the sky, erupting from the four seas and eight wastelands, famous mountains and great rivers, lakes and seas, like countless streams, converging towards Mount Buzhou!

A storm sweeping across the primordial world and all races has officially begun due to the changes in the ley lines of Mount Buzhou and the Wu Clan's proclamation to the primordial world. The momentum of all races to slay the demons has already begun to emerge. At this moment, the Heavenly Court is gathering stellar power, with demonic clouds pressing down overhead, pointing directly at Mount Buzhou! The final showdown between the two sides is about to erupt.

Meanwhile, Xuanbao Tian, ​​who was enjoying a leisurely life in Kunlun Mountain, announced to the prehistoric world that he was completely bewildered. "What's going on? Didn't Gonggong knock down Buzhou Mountain, causing the prehistoric world's innate spiritual energy to degenerate into acquired spiritual energy? As a result, the prehistoric world was reduced by several levels, leaving only the four major continents in later generations."

But now, Xuanbao can only say, "I don't understand the changes in the prehistoric world. Take the current situation for example, the demon race was not killed by lightning. This is too strange. Back then, Luo Hou only destroyed the western ley lines, and Hongjun had to give up two saintly positions to settle this cause and effect."

But what about now? The demon race is now trying to destroy the entire primordial earth veins, and the Heavenly Dao hasn't even reacted. If there's nothing going on here, Xuanbao will twist his head off.

"Enough, there's no use thinking about it anymore." Xuan Baotian shook his head, suppressing his distracting thoughts. "The most crucial thing now is that the momentum of the myriad races' campaign against the demons has been established, and the decisive battle at Buzhou Mountain is imminent. The outcome of this great battle will directly determine the future direction of the prehistoric world. I can't indulge in enjoyment like this anymore; it's time to go out and make some moves, and it's time to let people know that they must think about the consequences before doing anything..."
