Primordial Era: I am a gourd vine, starting with seven gourds combined into one.

"Do you think this can really work out?" Afterwards, Wang Shu asked, half-curled up in Lin Yang's arms.

"Um."

Lin Yang nodded and comforted them, "This is the only way. They will all agree as long as they don't want to die."

"But if Hongjun really dies, then the world will be in chaos. Who will get the Jade Tablet of Creation? And who will be the next to attain enlightenment?"

"And where our fate will lead us, these are all unknowns."

As Lin Yang spoke, he couldn't help but sigh repeatedly, feeling a sense of uncertainty about the future.

Upon hearing this, Wang Shu was lost in thought. After a while, she said, "No matter what the future holds, I just want to be with you."

"Um."

Lin Yang nodded without saying anything more.

After a while, an avatar of Lin Yang emerged from the Guanghan Palace and flew towards the prehistoric land, heading west to find the Demon Ancestor Rahu.

Lin Yang's avatar descended from the starry sky, heading straight west.

Set foot on the land of the West.

This time, Lin Yang felt that the western lands seemed different from when he last came here.

It could be said that from the moment Lin Yang set foot on this land, he vaguely felt as if he were being watched by something.

After a while, Lin Yang noticed that some of the creatures passing by were looking at him with strange eyes.

But if you realize it and look closely, these creatures have returned to normal.

The deeper one goes into the Western lands, the stronger this sense of spying becomes.

Lin Yang gradually figured out what was going on.

This is probably what is called a celestial demon, or a demon within one's heart.

Rahu is the Demon Ancestor, and he cultivates the demonic path. His demonic path can influence heaven and earth, all things, and all living beings.

The stronger his cultivation becomes, the more terrifying this ability becomes. By now, it is feared that billions of beings in the West have been infected by his demonic path.

Subtly and unconsciously, the seeds of evil were sown in him.

This kind of demon is best described as a demon of the heart; it is invisible and traceless, and does not usually show itself.

But if Rahu so desires, it will appear immediately.

Unmoved, Lin Yang continued toward Mount Sumeru. Gradually, he could even see that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was being polluted and transformed into a deep demonic energy.

Reaching this stage is truly terrifying; living beings begin to be twisted and transformed into monsters.

Some even directly give birth to all sorts of demonic creatures from the demonic energy.

Each one was ferocious and terrifying.

Lin Yang ignored it and continued deeper into the mountains. Soon, Mount Sumeru was right in front of him.

At this point, the influence of the demonic path became even more terrifying, as it began to try to distort and change the perception of Lin Yang's avatar, planting the seeds of the demonic path in Lin Yang's heart.

Lin Yang smiled calmly. It seemed that Luo Hou had stopped hiding his true colors over the years and had begun to show his claws.

However, seeing how Luo Hou had transformed the entire western land, Lin Yang seemed to understand why the western land had been completely destroyed during the conflict between the Dao and the Demon.

If we don't blow it up, how can we get rid of Rahu?

Rahu's demonic path lurks within the heart of every living being. It can be said that any one of the beings in the Western Paradise could be an incarnation of Rahu.

Without blowing up the West and annihilating all the beings infected by the demonic path, Rahu cannot be eliminated at all.

So, whether it was Rahu who went mad and destroyed the West, or whether it was Hongjun who was behind it, seems worth considering again at this moment.

It's all a battle between big shots! History is always written by the victors.

But who knows what history will be like this time?

Was it a collective strategy to annihilate the ambitious Four Ancestors of the Immortal Path, or was it that Dao Ancestor Hongjun was the victor, wiping out all the demons and pacifying the primordial world?

Lin Yang finally arrived at Mount Sumeru. Upon reaching this place, he found the corrupting power of the demonic path to be terrifying to the extreme.

However, this did not work for Lin Yang. His Great Dao encompassed everything, and whether it was the Immortal Dao or the Demonic Dao, they could all be integrated into his Chaos Great Dao.

Lin Yang would naturally not be corrupted by the demonic path and become a demon controlled by Rahu.

"Fellow Daoist Luo Hou, since a friend has come to visit, why not invite me in for a seat?" Lin Yang transmitted his thoughts through divine sense, directly entering Mount Sumeru.

"snort!"

A cold snort rang out, and demonic energy surged, forming a figure.

However, Rahu condensed a demonic energy into an avatar and appeared in front of Lin Yang.

Looking at Lin Yang, he said coldly, "You consider yourself my friend?"

Lin Yang laughed and said, "How can it not be? It was a great pity that you left in such a hurry that day and I was unable to invite you to stay and have a long discussion. So I had no choice but to come and visit you myself."

Rahu looked at him and said sarcastically, "So this is the incarnation you've come in?"

"Cough cough."

Lin Yang coughed lightly, his expression unchanged, and said, "There's no other way. There are too many thieves coveting my meager fortune, so I have no choice but to personally oversee the starry sky to prevent any unforeseen events. Please forgive me, fellow Daoist."

Luo Hou sneered repeatedly, not believing Lin Yang's words at all. However, he had witnessed Lin Yang's methods in the starry sky and found them to be quite skillful.

But ultimately, it's still not as good as what I have.

After staring at Lin Yang for a while, Luo Hou said, "No matter how eloquent you are, it's because of you that I exposed my weakness. The Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans are all keeping a close eye on me now. Now that you've delivered yourself to my doorstep, even if it's just an avatar, it's enough for me to vent my anger."

As he spoke, Luo Hou waved his hand, and endless demonic energy surged from all around, containing countless demonic creatures and monsters that completely surrounded Lin Yang.

It was as if there was no way to ascend to heaven or descend to hell. No matter how powerful Lin Yang's Great Dao was, he would absolutely be unable to withstand such a situation.

After all, this is just one of his incarnations.

Lin Yang's expression remained unchanged, but in his heart he cursed Luo Hou as a pervert and shameless bastard. He was the one who coveted his treasure and went to the starry sky to attack him, which exposed him and made him the target of the three races. Now he was blaming all of this on him and even wanted to harm his avatar.

This is truly something that even an uncle can tolerate, but an aunt can't tolerate anymore.

Fortunately, what he had come was just an avatar. Lin Yang thought to himself, and held back.

"Fellow Daoist Rahu, don't you want to know why I've come to find you?"

Lin Yang had no choice but to speak up: "Furthermore, fellow Daoist, do you think I wouldn't have prepared a backup plan since I dared to come to see you?"

Rahu remained unmoved, and the demonic energy from all directions drew ever closer.

Clearly, this Demon Ancestor is ruthless and not as easily fooled as Yuan Feng.

Left with no other option, Lin Yang shouted, "Rahu, you dare mess with my avatar? Believe me or not, I'll blow up your Mount Sumeru in a minute!"

The boundless demonic energy was already within reach. Lin Yang could even feel the breathing of countless demonic creatures within the demonic energy behind him, but suddenly, everything came to an abrupt halt.

"Hahaha!"

Rahu's loud laughter rang out: "Fellow Daoist of Creation, I was just joking with you, why take it so seriously?"

Luo Hou waved his hand again, and the surging demonic energy immediately enveloped countless demons and monsters as they retreated.

Lin Yang looked at Luo Hou and snorted. The reason why Luo Hou stopped was not because he was soft-hearted or had a change of heart.

Rather, Lin Yang did indeed have this backup plan.

Just now, at the critical moment, Lin Yang's true form commanded the stars in the starry sky, shifting and changing their positions to form a grand celestial constellation.

If Rahu really dares to kill, then this Zhou Tian Star Array will indeed bombard Mount Sumeru.

That's why Rahu stopped and revealed his hypocritical face again.

Meanwhile, Luo Hou was also somewhat unsettled, thinking to himself, "This fellow's Zhou Tian Star Array can actually travel from the starry sky all the way down to the primordial world?"

"Doesn't this mean that he, the Daoist of Creation, can strike any place in the primordial world at any time, as long as he wants?"

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Luo Hou's mind. On one hand, he became more wary of Lin Yang, and on the other hand, his greed grew even stronger.

Since the Zhou Tian Star Array is so powerful, the power in the starry sky is even more attractive to Luo Hou.

If he can conquer the starry sky, then why would he need to proceed cautiously and develop slowly?

It would be enough to deal with Hongjun and the three races directly!

Of course, Luo Hou suppressed these thoughts for the time being. Lin Yang was still somewhat unfathomable, and he hadn't had time to figure him out yet.

Great things cannot be rushed.

Moreover, the reason why Rahu stopped earlier was indeed because he was somewhat wary. He didn't care much about whether Mount Sumeru was destroyed or not, but the problem was that he had diverted all the spiritual veins of the West to Mount Sumeru.

Then, he condensed the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords and the Immortal-Slaying Formation Diagram beneath Mount Sumeru.

If Lin Yang blew up Mount Sumeru, wouldn't that expose his Four Swords of Zhuxian and the Zhuxian Formation Diagram?

In that case, his entire plan would be completely exposed.

Thinking of this, Luo Hou couldn't help but feel suspicious and couldn't help but look at Lin Yang a few more times.

Could this guy possibly know what he's doing underground?

After thinking about it, Luo Hou abandoned the idea, which was probably just a coincidence.

"Hehe, fellow Daoist, please." Luo Hou smiled broadly and invited Lin Yang into Mount Sumeru.

Within Mount Sumeru, Rahu had built numerous demon palaces and temples, and within them, besides Rahu himself, there were also many demonic cultivators, that is, practitioners of the demonic path.

It's not just those mindless monsters and demons anymore.

Rahu led Lin Yang directly into the largest demon palace. Inside, Rahu's true form was already seated in the main seat.

Upon seeing Lin Yang enter, Luo Hou also stood up, first merging his avatar, then inviting Lin Yang to sit down, saying, "Fellow Daoist, you have traveled a long way to see me; I am truly flattered!"

After saying that, he kept looking Lin Yang up and down, clearly still harboring ill intentions towards Lin Yang.

Lin Yang had already witnessed his demonic methods, so he was too lazy to talk to him anymore, lest he fall into his trap. He simply repeated the same story he had told Yuan Feng to Luo Hou.

As expected, Rahu's expression changed drastically after hearing this.

"The Jade Tablet of Creation!"

Luo Hou involuntarily released his aura, his demonic power surging: "This supreme treasure has actually fallen into Hongjun's hands?"

Rahu was very restless and couldn't help but get up and pace back and forth.

The information Lin Yang provided had a tremendous impact on him.

It can be said that among all the people in the primordial world, the one that Luo Hou valued the most was Hongjun.

As for the others, they are a level below.

Putting everything else aside, the Four Swords of Zhuxian and the Zhuxian Formation Diagram that Luo Hou specially forged were prepared for Hongjun.

Once the Four Swords of Zhuxian and the Zhuxian Formation Diagram are completed, he can immediately implement his plan to eliminate his long-time adversary.

Then, I'll wipe out the three clans. Hmm, now I can add Lin Yang too. That way, I can also attain enlightenment and become a Primordial Golden Immortal.

No, when that time comes, if my demonic path merges with the immortal path, I will no longer be a Primordial Golden Immortal, but a Primordial Demon Lord.

Luo Hou was ambitious and wanted to destroy Hongjun, overthrow the immortal path, rule the world with his demonic path, and then prove the Dao of Hunyuan to truly dominate this primordial world.

But now, the information Lin Yang brought—that Hongjun had obtained the Jade Tablet of Creation—was like a bolt from the blue for him!
