Primordial Era: The Great Celestial Venerable on the Road to Mythology

Chapter 67: Transforming the Body, the Origin of the Great Calamity. Bloodline Connection, the Arrival of the Sage.

Yao Ji, Zhao Ling'er, and Grandma were sucked into the South Heavenly Gate. When they reappeared, they were already standing in the Heavenly Court.

Before Ling'er and her grandmother could take a closer look at their surroundings, beams of mysterious light descended from the sky, enveloping them.

The light was as warm and gentle as jade, yet it contained an irresistible power, constantly changing their bodies to adapt to the laws of this world.

This is Haotian making his move.

Through the Southern Heavenly Gate, he witnessed everything Yao Ji had done. This time, his intervention was not only to change their dimensions and reshape their bodies, but also to sever their own hidden dangers, especially the shackles on Zhao Ling'er, a descendant of Nuwa.

If it were simply a matter of changing dimensions, those hidden dangers would transform into the inherent power of the primordial world. In that case, things would get really out of hand.

If a love story between a descendant of Nuwa were to unfold in the primordial world, it would be a blatant disgrace to Nuwa.

If the Goddess Nuwa were to learn of this, she would surely come and have a discussion with Haotian.

As for the true spirits of Nuwa's descendants throughout the ages within the Holy Spirit Pearl, Haotian also altered their dimensions. Although the original essence of Nuwa within them had dissipated, a trace of Nuwa's imprint remained.

Haotian estimated that once he finished transforming Zhao Ling'er's body, the causal connection in the dark would attract that saint from the chaos.

It's best to leave these matters to her personally; he won't interfere. After all, Zhao Ling'er's mother is alright, but that maternal grandmother—it's really hard to describe.

The reason Haotian took action was that although Yaoji went to the world of Xianjian alone, he could observe her at any time through the South Heavenly Gate.

The reason why the Southern Heavenly Gate had previously guided Yao Ji back was to prevent her from forcibly breaking free from the shackles of heaven and earth and causing damage to that world. Although that world was of little use to him, there was no need to destroy it unnecessarily.

Yao Ji naturally understood that her brother had secretly helped her with all of this.

Such a commotion naturally alerted the heavenly soldiers guarding the gate. Upon seeing that it was the Princess returning, the heavenly soldiers bowed respectfully and dared not utter another word.

This is the eldest princess of the Heavenly Court. As for who she brought back and what their cultivation level is, that's none of their business.

In this vast wilderness, who dares to provoke the Heavenly Court?

At this moment, apart from necessary patrols and guard duties, everyone else in the Heavenly Court has entered a state of cultivation. The Daoist principles of the Thirty-Three Heavens and the Primordial Starry Sky are manifesting, and the Great Dao is being revealed, presenting a once-in-a-millennium opportunity for cultivation.

As for maintaining order—what the Heavenly Court maintains is the order of heaven and earth, that is, the fundamental operation of the world.

If a truly major event were to occur that disrupts the world's operation, it would undoubtedly cause a great stir; at that point, it would be sufficient to report it. With their cultivation level, they wouldn't be able to handle such a significant matter.

As for the fighting and killing, and the promotion of good and the elimination of evil in the primordial world, these were not the responsibilities of the Heavenly Court.

This is the primordial world. Without conflict, how could the Heavenly Dao grow stronger? How could the Dao and reason be produced? How could the origin of the primordial world return to its source?

A world without conflict is not far from destruction.

The reason why a great calamity occurs is because living beings absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, accelerating the depletion of the world's origin. When the depletion reaches a warning threshold, the world will initiate a great calamity to alleviate its own burden and reclaim its origin.

If the Heavenly Court forcibly suppresses the killing, the world will gradually fall into peace, the number of living beings will increase rapidly, and the consumption of the world's origin will intensify.

Although the Heavenly Court possesses the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Transformation Array, the transformation rate is ultimately limited. Even if it increases, it cannot compare to the growth of living beings during peacetime—that thing increases exponentially.

To use an analogy, after peace, when life has multiplied to a certain level, it might be able to match the efficiency of the transformation array. But what about the next generation? Then another array would be needed. And the next generation after that, two, four, eight—and so on, endlessly.

Leaving aside whether the primordial starry sky could accommodate so many transformation arrays, even Haotian wouldn't have that much energy; he couldn't possibly set up arrays every day.

This is also why Haotian never established a Heavenly Tribulation. As a person from a later era, how could he not know about Heavenly Tribulations? It's just that this thing is really useless to the primordial world.

Therefore, the Heavenly Court's most important task at present is to maintain the Transformation Array and the fundamental operation of the primordial world.

Of course, the world operates according to the laws of Heaven and the Six Sages, and ordinary people cannot disrupt it. As for the Transformation Array, I believe no one would dare to mess with it. The karma associated with this thing is too heavy; if anyone dares to destroy it, divine punishment will surely follow.

Besides, the people of Heaven are merely cultivating; they're not dead. Who would dare to court death? The fate of those two from the West is still fresh in our minds.

Therefore, apart from those who were required to be on duty, everyone in the Heavenly Court had entered a period of cultivation. Cultivation is different from seclusion; it still allows them to keep an eye on external developments in order to prevent any incidents from occurring.

Such commotion at the South Heavenly Gate, especially the unique aura of Nuwa's bloodline, naturally attracted the attention of the higher-ups of the Heavenly Court.

Yaochi, Lu Ya, Taibai Jinxing, and the incarnations of Di Yi and others all rushed to the scene.

Yaochi's gaze fell on Zhao Ling'er, her delicate brows furrowing slightly as she asked, "Little sister, what's this?"

She also sensed something was amiss. Zhao Ling'er was truly extraordinary—a descendant of the goddess Nuwa, yet merely a mortal.

Furthermore, their bodies need to be reconstructed. How could someone from another world possess the bloodline of the goddess Nuwa? Has the goddess Nuwa become so powerful that she can influence other worlds? But how could she be a mortal?

"Oh, this is a new other world, but it's of a very low level," Yao Ji explained. "As for why it has the bloodline of the Goddess Nuwa, I'm not quite sure either."

At this moment, the bodies of Zhao Ling'er, Grandma, and the Moon Worship Cult Leader were completed.

Grandma and the Moon Worship Cult Leader were alright, though their bodies were reshaped, their cultivation levels were completely gone, and they had to start cultivating from scratch. Moreover, they could not cultivate their original techniques, as those techniques were not recognized by the Primordial World and were not accepted by Heaven and Earth.

Zhao Ling'er, however, was entirely different. The Nuwa bloodline essence contained within her was roughly equivalent to the Golden Immortal level in the Primordial Era. If Haotian hadn't intervened to change her dimension, this essence would have been suppressed to the mortal realm by the Heavenly Dao after entering the Primordial Era.

Now, with Haotian's help, its dimension has been directly altered, and its origin remains completely unaffected, directly reaching the Golden Immortal level.

With her body fully transformed, Zhao Ling'er was now a true Golden Immortal of the Primordial World. Nuwa's essence was fully activated, truly merging with her and tightly bound to her true spirit.

However, a problem arose—Zhao Ling'er became Nuwa's true form, with a human body and a snake tail, both holy and alluring.

Just as Zhao Ling'er succeeded, a thread of cause and effect emerged from her body, quickly disappeared into the void, and shot towards the chaos beyond the heavens.

Before anyone could react, a massive surge of fortune rushed in like a tidal wave, following the threads of cause and effect!

Immediately afterwards, auspicious purple clouds stretched for 30,000 miles in the east, the sky was filled with rosy light, and thousands of auspicious wisps of air appeared.

A sacred figure appeared before everyone.

A sage has arrived.
