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

Chapter 77 Auspicious Qilin Suppresses the Earth, Hongjun and Luohou Grit Their Teeth in Anger

"The appearance of a Qilin is an auspicious sign! This is a sign from the underground!"

"What?"

The First Qilin's announcement of its withdrawal from the Primordial World stunned all living beings in the world.

Hongjun, Zulong, and Yuanfeng stared intently at the First Qilin, feeling as if they were hallucinating and finding it hard to believe.

"Has Shi Qilin gone mad?"

"As the leader of the beast race and a top-tier race in the primordial world, why would the Qilin suddenly withdraw from the primordial world?"

"They're not fighting over the magic treasures anymore? They're not vying for the opportunities on the Three Immortal Islands?"

"They came all the way from Xikunlun to the East Sea, and they're just leaving like this? They're not going to compete with the other two races for supremacy in the primordial world anymore?"

Amidst the disbelief of countless beings, the primordial earth suddenly trembled and emitted a buzzing sound!

The tunnel—yes!

The true identity of the people is recognized in the central area of ​​Qilin Town, thus withdrawing from the conflict!

In an instant.

At the deep rift valley that divides Kunlun Mountain into east and west, a golden beam of merit suddenly shot into the sky, immediately attracting the First Qilin far above the East Sea.

At this moment, the entire body of the First Qilin was enveloped in golden light.

He slowly closed his eyes, letting this profound and all-encompassing energy confirm his words and separate his physical body from his primordial spirit!

The moment they separated, the physical body of the First Qilin transformed into a golden light and vanished from the spot.

All spirits felt it at the same time.

Between the two Kunlun Mountains, which divide into east and west, golden light shone brightly. The moment the physical body of the Qilin appeared, it transformed into a huge and towering Qilin Cliff!

This cliff stands firmly in the center of the earth!

This scene left all sentient beings in the primordial world dumbfounded.

The sudden and earth-shattering change caused the members of the three clans of dragon, phoenix, and qilin, who were engaged in fierce fighting, to freeze on the spot, and the battle came to an end.

Black Phoenix gaped, "Weren't we in the middle of a fierce battle? Why did you suddenly announce your withdrawal from the Primordial World?"

The black Qilin's face was filled with astonishment. "We finally managed to gather the beastmen together, and they've just disbanded like this!"

Zhulong stared at the primordial spirit of the Qilin, swallowed hard, and thought, "A late-stage Primordial Golden Immortal! He just abandoned his physical body like that? What incredible courage!"

"Qilin, have you gone mad?"

Zulong raised his hand and pointed at the First Qilin, posing a question.

With Hongjun's arrival, the war between the three races was over.

His dragon clan will soon be able to crush the two clans in one fell swoop, seize the opportunity of the Three Immortal Islands, and even transfer the fortune of the two clans to his dragon clan, so that the two clans will respect his dragon clan in the future!

The dragon race will surely dominate the primordial world!

Although the Qilin clan's withdrawal from the prehistoric world was a great joy for the dragon clan.

The fact that the First Qilin voluntarily withdrew from the prehistoric world seems very strange no matter how you look at it or think about it!

There must be some schemes and calculations he was unaware of!

Hongjun frowned, his old face twitching violently at the actions of the First Qilin.

He's numb!

The First Qilin announced the Qilin clan's withdrawal from the prehistoric world; this calamity was definitely not what he wanted to see.

After all, his plan was to use the merit and fortune he gained from maintaining the order of Heaven and suppressing the three races that were causing chaos in the prehistoric world to help him attain sainthood.

But now the Qilin clan has retreated!

That leaves only two of the three clans, meaning their merit has been reduced by a full third!

Zhen Yuanzi! This is definitely a scheme by this old Wutu!

Hongjun suddenly realized what was happening, and gritted his teeth in fury. "The Qilin has received the merits of the Earthly Dao, and is therefore a being of the Earthly Dao."

The sudden withdrawal of the Qilin clan, who came here to vie for treasures, opportunities, and supremacy, must have been at the behest of him, the Lord of the Earth!

"This action is to protect the Qilin clan and help the Qilin escape their tribulation—but it also hinders my path to enlightenment!"

"Zhen Yuanzi, you have once again obstructed my path to enlightenment! I, Hongjun, swear to fight you to the death!"

The First Qilin announced the Qilin clan's withdrawal from the primordial world, causing a heavy look to appear in the eyes of the White Jade Qilin. "Brother, is our Qilin clan really going to withdraw from the primordial world like this?"

"really."

Shi Qilin replied firmly, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

"good!"

As the white jade qilin responded to its elder brother's command, the black qilin roared in resentment, "Brother! How could you do this?"

"If my Qilin clan simply withdraws from the primordial world like this, how can you face all the beast tribes that followed you and my Qilin clan?"

The First Qilin looked intently at the Ink Qilin and said in a deep voice, "Third Brother, what I'm doing is truly worthy of all the sons and daughters of our Qilin clan, and all the beasts and creatures of the earth that follow our Qilin clan!"

"And even more so—I have done right by you!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Qilin's expression suddenly froze, utterly astonished: "Big brother, you—"

"Third brother, there's no need for further words between us brothers."

The First Qilin spoke calmly, then looked at all its people and shouted loudly: "My Qilin sons, heed my command! Quickly follow me back to Qilin Cliff and West Kunlun, and from now on guard the central ley lines, thus atoning for the karma of causing chaos in the primordial world!"

"I will obey the clan chief's command."

The remaining Qilin clan members all obeyed the order, transforming into their original forms of light and following the First Qilin towards the central land.

The scale of their arrival was even greater than when they came!

For no other reason than that when tens of thousands of Qilin galloped in the East Sea, facing the central land, their bodies were all enveloped in a layer of golden light!

This is not the aura of merit, but the auspicious light of the earth!

Even the Black Qilin is no exception.

At this moment, its dark eyes shone with clarity, its feet resting on golden lotuses, and tears welled up within them.

Looking at his eldest brother, who was now only a primordial spirit, he said with heartfelt gratitude, "Big brother, thank you so much."

Upon hearing this, the First Qilin did not turn its head, but solemnly addressed the central earth, saying, "Third brother, you should be thanking me."

"Hiss~"

The words of the First Qilin brought sudden enlightenment to the Ink Qilin, who couldn't help but gasp, "The Path!"

At that moment, he finally understood.

Because he had met Luo before, he unknowingly developed a demon in his heart due to his desire to dominate the primordial world!

Having fallen into demonic possession, he was manipulated and used by the demonic forces.

This is why he repeatedly proposed to compete with the Dragon and Phoenix clans for supremacy.

They even secretly attacked the two clans, attempting to incite a war among the three clans.

This was Luo's scheme!

It was precisely because he fell into demonic possession that his elder brother, Shi Qilin, who had repeatedly refused to settle the karmic debt with the dragon clan, had no choice but to lead his army to the East Sea to face the calamity!

And now, the calamity that befell his Qilin clan is precisely the best outcome that the Ancestor of the Earthly Path has given them!

He voluntarily withdrew from the primordial wilderness and returned to Xikunlun at Qilin Cliff, where his destiny was no longer connected with that of Dongkunlun, and stabilized the central land.

This is to offset karma with good deeds, so as to protect the Qilin clan from being wiped out in the great calamity and causing a tragic situation where only one in ten survives!

Becoming an auspicious beast in the primordial world ensured the eternal existence of the Qilin clan!

Similarly, he forced the creation of a primordial auspicious calamity to suppress his inner demons, which had already been born and possessed by demons!

The enlightened Ink Qilin and the Primordial Qilin locked eyes, and then the countless Qilin that had escaped their tribulations prostrated themselves in deep gratitude: "We thank the Earthly Path for saving our lives!"

"Zhen Yuanzi!!!"

While the Qilin clan expressed their gratitude and offered thanks, Luo, who had been secretly plotting far away on the shores of the East Sea, was now furious and gnashing his teeth.

He was extremely cunning, scheming for countless eons, and ultimately provoked a war between the three races.

Just when it seemed that the three races were about to suffer heavy losses, he could have reaped the benefits by sacrificing countless lives of the three races to unseal the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation. But the Qilin Clan actually retreated!

And just like that, she gracefully departed from the primordial world!

This greatly reduces the amount of essence blood needed to unseal the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, so how could Luo not be angry?

Luo Zhou, his body radiating demonic energy, glared angrily at the auspicious Qilin in the sky above. "Thank you for the underground passage?"

"This is clearly a gesture of gratitude to Zhen Yuanzi!"
