Primordial Era: I, Wutu, govern the Earthly Dao and suppress the Heavenly Dao.

With the calamity of the ferocious beasts over, the underground passage awakens ahead of schedule with the help of Zhen Yuanzi.

Furthermore, Zhen Yuanzi, with the power of the earth and the Earthly Mirror, proved to all things and spirits in the primordial world that the Way of Earth and the Way of Heaven coexist in the world!

In the first battle between heaven and earth, there was no clear winner or loser.

The Great Dao has only just retreated, and the childlike Heavenly Dao, while competing with the Earthly Dao, is also afraid that the Great Dao will turn back again.

Without the underground passage, after the great calamity of the ferocious beasts, there would be no power left to resist it, and it could completely control the prehistoric world!

But now the tunnel has been revived.

If it makes any small moves as soon as the Great Dao retreats, it will surely be reported by the "small tunnels" that know it is resisting it, and the Great Dao will find out!

In that case, it is highly likely that its consciousness will be suppressed and erased by the Great Dao!

Therefore, after the initial confrontation with the underground passage, the Heavenly Dao, fearing being accused and erased, immediately withdrew its Heavenly Power.

That is, at the very moment when Heaven withdrew its divine might,

The tunnel, which had just been bullied, also clearly understood a principle.

That is, if it weren't for this benefactor who helped it awaken and fight back,

It won't work!

It was too weak when it first woke up.

If it is allowed to develop on its own since it cannot even resist, it will inevitably be suppressed by the will of Heaven!

The ultimate outcome would be to become an appendage of the Heavenly Order!

The oppression they had just experienced made the tunnel team realize this clearly.

Its ability to awaken, and even to possess the qualifications to contend with the Heavenly Dao after awakening, is entirely due to him—Zhen Yuanzi!

Without Zhen Yuanzi, it would have remained dormant for countless eons, and even if it were to awaken in the future, it would never have achieved its current grandeur.

Therefore, it not only had no objection to Zhen Yuanzi's move to take control of its tunnels, but also cooperated with them in an extraordinary way, and took the initiative to open the core of the tunnels!

Not only did he hand over all control of the underground passage to Zhen Yuanzi,

Even its tunnels themselves were entirely entrusted to Zhen Yuanzi, its benefactor, for management and control!

At the summit of Mount Buzhou.

The Zhenyuan Ancestor, who is in charge of the earth, stands imposingly with the Earth Mirror in his left hand and the World-Suppressing Staff in his right!

All that could be seen was the Earth Mirror in his left hand, reflecting all the veins and patterns of the spiritual energy flowing through the primordial earth!

His right hand, wielding the World-Suppressing Staff, stood firmly on the earth, causing all the ancient immortal mountains and rivers to resonate with it!

this moment,

Everything in the entire primordial land was clearly presented in his perception!

Subsequently, Zhen Yuanzi, with unquestionable authority and majesty, proclaimed to the primordial world:

"From this day forward, I, Zhen Yuanzi, shall be the Lord of the Underworld!"

Zhen Yuanzi's voice resounded throughout the entire primordial world from the very source of the earth!

The majesty of this sound caused all things and spirits in the world to prostrate themselves in the direction of Mount Buzhou, showing their respect for it!

How could they not acknowledge or respect a benefactor whom even the most authentic people acknowledge?

The response from the source of the earth caused countless streams of earth vein power to surge from the summit of Buzhou Mountain into Zhen Yuanzi's body, condensing into an earth-yellow crown above his head!

This crown is the symbol of the Lord of the Earth!

"We pay homage to the Lord of the Earth!" All spirits, moved by the call, simultaneously bowed and shouted in worship.

Even the plants and trees that could not make a sound bent their green stems and trunks down, respecting their status as the master of the earth!

In the primordial world,

There are still those who disrespect or even completely disapprove of Zhen Yuanzi, the master of the earth.

They were, of course, those chaotic demons.

"After awakening in the underground passage, how could Zhen Yuanzi still maintain control over it?" The Qiankun Ancestor asked incredulously, expressing his disrespect and doubt.

For various reasons, the Ancestor of Heaven and Earth gave up on proving the Great Dao early on and instead sought to become a Heavenly Saint.

He originally thought that with his understanding of the Dao of Heaven and Earth, he would surely be in harmony with the primordial world and would soon become the ruler of the primordial world!

But to his utter surprise, Zhen Yuanzi beat him to it!

Even after awakening in the Earthly Dao, before attaining the Great Luo Golden Immortal of Hunyuan, he was still able to continue to receive the laws of the Earthly Dao and wield its authority!

This made him very unwilling, so he could only place his hopes on the Heavenly Dao.

"Since I cannot control the underground passages, then the heavenly passages shall be mine to control!"

"But without the treasure of Heavenly Authority, how can I possibly wield it?"

"Where is the treasure of Heavenly Authority now?"

While the Ancestor of Heaven and Earth was distressed, the faces of the Ancestors of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements grew increasingly grim.

They originally thought that after the tunnel was awakened, Zhen Yuanzi would lose his authority over the tunnel.

In that case, Zhen Yuanzi would just be a Hunyuan Golden Immortal, just like them, with slightly higher cultivation and stronger magic weapons, but who had not yet attained enlightenment.

But now, looking at him, Zhen Yuanzi is still the same Zhen Yuanzi!

Even after the tunnel was awakened, his control over the tunnel was enhanced by his increased awareness of the tunnel!

At this moment, the idea that the Five Elements Ancestor had before became even more firm.

"It seems that I, like Yang Mei, will also have to retreat from the primordial world or leave soon."

"You dare to claim me as the Lord of the Earth? Wishful thinking!"

The Yin-Yang Ancestor looked up at the Beast God Palace in front of him, then turned to look at his Wuji Mountain Daoist Temple.

"Should I refine it here and then go into seclusion, or should I return to the primordial world, go back to my Daoist temple, and prove my Dao again?"

"Well, the merit of destroying the ferocious beast has not yet been bestowed, so let's wait and see before making a decision."

On the shores of the East China Sea, Hongjun's fingers, which had been smoothly stroking his beard, suddenly paused, his gaze extremely complex.

"He established the rules for stabilizing the underground passage before it awakened, and after it did, he gained its approval because the underground passage was weaker than the heavenly passage, thus truly taking control of it!"

"From this perspective, this is the method by which he transcends the primordial chaos and attains the Great Dao!"

"If he is like this, then what about me?"

Hongjun Laozu analyzed Zhen Yuanzi's actions throughout countless eons.

He then used the Jade Disc of Creation to deduce his own path and gradually came to understand another method of enlightenment!

"He took advantage of the tunnel's weakness to help and control it, thus transcending the primordial chaos!"

"If I were to take advantage of the current incompleteness of the Heavenly Dao's order and rules... and complete the Heavenly Dao, would I then be able to transcend the primordial world and attain the Great Dao?"

After reaching this conclusion, Hongjun, who had attained enlightenment, became unstoppable.

The road that had previously been blocked out suddenly turned into a clear and bright place!

"My method of severing the three corpses, though inescapable in the primordial world, can help me simultaneously comprehend numerous laws, and then unite them to prove the Dao!"

"After attaining enlightenment, I can use my own numerous laws to complete the Heavenly Dao, thus achieving transcendence!"

"This is the method by which I will attain the Great Dao!"

At this moment, Hongjun, who had comprehended the method of enlightenment, was filled with fervor and confidence.

"Therefore, from now on I will follow the will of Heaven..."

At the same time that Hongjun was comprehending the Dao, Rahu in the West also curled up a confident and wicked smile!

"After stabilizing the earth and gaining immeasurable merit from the Great Dao, one can then master the Dao of Earth and transcend it?"

"Then my method of enlightenment must completely contradict this!"

Luo Hou's eyes flashed with intense blackness, radiating a chilling killing intent.

"My path...lies in slaughter and destruction!"

"With slaughter, I will destroy all order and rules of heaven and earth, annihilate all things in the world, obliterate all good intentions, obsessions, karma, and entanglements, and I will also sever the nine worms within myself, turning the primordial world into a realm of demons!"

"Thus, I can attain enlightenment!"
