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

The five Chaos Gods: Hongjun, Wuxing, Yin Yang, Qiankun, and Luohou.

Before Zhen Yuanzi, they joined forces to form the Yin Yang Five Elements Qiankun Grand Array, severely injuring Shen Ni and killing countless ferocious beasts, thus making contributions to the prehistoric world.

Heaven rewards merit and bestows virtue, and naturally, they too receive a share.

The golden light of merit streaked across the sky, splitting into five, and rapidly entered their bodies.

And none of them refused!

The Heavenly Way has always been just as impartial and selfless as the Great Way. The Great Way has only recently retreated, so the Heavenly Way naturally does not dare to openly reveal its selfishness.

The merit bestowed upon them this time will not have any impact on them, so naturally they will not resist it.

As for the merits of the earth?

That's completely outside their consideration!

The merits of Heaven and Earth, as demonstrated by the Qilin clan just now, are sufficient proof that one can only choose one of the two paths of merit.

Why would they choose the earthly path instead of the heavenly path?

Among the five demon gods, those who correspond to the Heavenly Way will not be granted merit by the Earthly Way; they have no choice.

The demons who had a choice also understood that the Earthly Path had only just awakened and was not comparable to the Heavenly Path.

Of course, the most important point is that the Way of Heaven has no master, but the Way of Earth has a master!

He is truly selfless, but what about Zhen Yuanzi?

Even if they know that Zhen Yuanzi is fair and just now, they are still too cautious and suspicious to completely trust him!

Therefore, they directly accepted the merits from Heaven.

After the two demon gods, Qiankun and Wuxing, received the merit of the Heavenly Dao into their bodies, they used the merit to help them comprehend the laws, and their auras suddenly soared.

Their cultivation levels have all increased from the middle stage to the late stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal!

"Hahaha~ As expected of the will of Heaven, my cultivation has increased rapidly, and I have finally entered the late stage!"

"With my current strength, I, the Ancestor, no longer need to retire!"

The improvement in their cultivation level brought undisguised joy to both ancestors, who spoke with confidence.

Now, their cultivation level is comparable to that of the three clan leaders, as well as Hongjun and Luohou, placing them in the second tier of powerful beings in the prehistoric world!

The first tier naturally belongs exclusively to Zhen Yuanzi, the only half-step Grand Luo Golden Immortal in the current primordial world!

But just as they were rejoicing over their great increase in cultivation,

A powerful aura suddenly spread from the northern lands!

The two patriarchs, sensing this aura, immediately froze, their expressions turning grim.

"Why is Yin Yang's aura stronger than mine? Could it be that he too has abandoned the Great Dao and followed the Way of Heaven?"

"How is this possible? He's clearly the most seriously injured, so why does his aura seem to surpass mine?"

In front of the Beast God Palace.

The Yin-Yang Ancestor, who received the merits and fortune of Heaven, had his body surrounded by Yin and Yang energies that surged violently.

With the power of his merits, he instantly broke through the mid-stage bottleneck and entered the late stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm!

However, this level of attainment was not the limit of his Yin and Yang!

Because of the battle at Buzhou Mountain, the Yin-Yang Five Elements Qiankun Grand Formation was formed under his leadership.

He also absorbed a significant amount of the malevolent energy emanating from the Beast God Palace into himself, ensuring that no more ferocious beasts would ever be born in the Beast God Palace again!

Moreover, it guards the palace to await the ferocious beasts and annihilates all the billions of ferocious beasts that have fled back to the Beast God Palace!

The combination of these three factors made his contributions in this great calamity far greater than those of other demon gods!

The merits gained far surpass those of the Five Elements and Qiankun demon gods, and even the patriarchs of the three clans themselves.

Therefore, even though he had just entered the late stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, the barrier blocking his way had loosened once again!

boom!

With a slight muffled sound, the Yin-Yang Ancestor's aura surged once more, having attained the peak of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm!

"Peak of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm!"

The Five Elements and the universe seemed to sense something, and at the same time, they revealed a solemn and surprised expression.

Especially the Ancestor of Qiankun, his forehead was furrowed into a deep frown.

"The aura of the laws still belongs to his Yin-Yang Dao, which means he has not abandoned the Dao and is following the way of Heaven like me!"

"Then the only reason his cultivation broke through two levels is that his contributions during the Great Tribulation far surpassed mine!"

The enlightened Qiankun Ancestor's face was extremely grim.

A demon god who did not follow the will of Heaven made more contributions than this demon god who did!

The dough really made a huge mistake!

This made the Ancestor of Heaven and Earth feel a deep sorrow in his heart, and he resolutely made a vow:

"From this day forward, I, Qiankun, will take it upon myself to uphold the order of Heaven, and will not slacken in the slightest!"

"Heaven will bear witness!"

"Sigh~"

The Five Elements Ancestor, who had just developed a confident Dao heart, shook his head and sighed deeply.

"Indeed, my decision to hunt down the Taotie was a mistake!"

"If I had known this would happen, I should have wiped out the other ferocious beasts from the land..."

The sudden surge in power greatly pleased the Yin-Yang Ancestor.

His original plan to go into seclusion at the Beast God Palace was immediately thrown to the back of his mind.

"With my current strength, I would no longer need to avoid Zhen Yuanzi even if I faced him again!"

"But if I want to compete with him, Hongjun, and Luohou in the future, I still lack a treasure to protect myself."

"After all, Hongjun and Luohou have accumulated almost as much merit as I have, and their strength will likely break through as well!"

All the merits bestowed by Heaven are seen by all living beings in the primordial world.

Naturally, it was discovered that the merit of this fivefold division was greatest when it fell upon the northern land, followed by the merits that fell upon the eastern and western lands respectively.

Hongjun and Luohou offered no resistance, and absorbed all their merits and fortune into their Dao bodies.

Although they did not gain as much merit as Yin and Yang, they had injured the Beast God Shen Ni by revealing their trump cards, which caused them to break through their cultivation level at this moment!

At the same time, he attained the peak of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm!

"In this way, I will also have the power to compete with him, as long as I reunite the three corpses I have severed..."

"I am only one step away from fully unsealing the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation so that I can prove my Dao through slaughter, but I still need the essence of living beings..."

The cultivation levels of the five demon gods have all improved, and their auras have spread throughout the entire primordial world.

The eruption of the three peak-level Hunyuan Golden Immortal auras, in particular, left all living beings in the prehistoric world astonished and terrified.

The Chaos Demon God is not a primordial being, nor is it one of us from the primordial world; its heart must be different!

How could one not be afraid when the auras of so many powerful demons pressed down on one's head?

If it weren't for the presence of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans, and if it weren't for the existence of a Lord of the Underworld, their fear would have been even stronger!

Just when all living beings in the primordial world thought that this act of merit bestowed by heaven and earth was coming to an end,

suddenly!

A thick, golden light of merit suddenly appeared from beneath Mount Buzhou, the pillar of heaven!

This merit shines like golden light from the earth's spiritual veins, soaring straight into the sky!

This astonishing change surprised and baffled all the myriad beings of the primordial world, the many powerful beings, and even the Heavenly Dao above the Nine Heavens!

hum!

A thick, golden light of merit surged forth from beneath Mount Buzhou, but it did not fall upon any living being.

Instead, it landed on the magnificent and enormous Pangu Temple, which had never been revealed to the outside world and was hidden at the foot of Buzhou Mountain!

The Pangu Temple was bathed in golden light of merit.

A phantom image appeared above Mount Buzhou, obscuring the sky and the sun, and then suddenly released a vast and boundless aura that surpassed all living beings and the heavens and earth!

The appearance of this aura caused all living beings to feel a sense of piety and worship. Immediately, hundreds of millions of living beings bowed down towards Mount Buzhou!

Compare this to the reverence and piety of all living beings.

The Chaos Demon Gods who were recuperating and improving their strength in the primordial world were all terrified when they sensed this aura, breaking out in a cold sweat. Even their physical bodies trembled violently!

"Yes, yes, it's him!"

"How can he still be alive?"

This aura, which even these chaotic demons found so frightening and terrifying,

It comes from—Pangu!
