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

"According to Zi Wei Dou Shu, it should be around here. However, Wanshou Mountain is shrouded by a primordial array, making it difficult for me to pinpoint its exact location, which will take more time."

Lin Yang's avatar searched silently. Zi Wei Dou Shu was a divine power he cultivated after refining and mastering the Zi Wei star and the entire starry sky, becoming the master of all stars.

Zi Wei Dou Shu excels at calculations, and while it's slightly less effective in attack, it's still quite formidable.

Even without using the Chaos Bell, the Zhou Tian Star Array, and the Star Fruit Tree, Lin Yang could still use this divine power to shift stars and unleash tremendous abilities, making it a truly heaven-reaching and earth-shattering force with astonishing power.

Now, Lin Yang possesses an entire starry sky, with billions of star gods at his command and Wang Shu assisting him. His cultivation is increasing day by day, and he has undergone earth-shattering changes compared to the past.

He can now be considered a true master of supernatural powers.

If another siege were to occur, with powerful figures forcing the emperor to resign, then it wouldn't be a matter of them being able to leave as easily as they wished.

Of course, what Lin Yang is showing now is not the great supernatural power of shifting stars and changing constellations, but only using Ziwei Doushu to calculate and locate the position of Longevity Mountain.

That's right, Lin Yang was looking for the lair of Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of earth immortals—Wanshou Mountain.

To be precise, what Lin Yang wanted was Zhen Yuanzi's book.

With a major battle imminent, he naturally had to do everything in his power to increase his side's chances of winning.

In addition to refining the Lesser Heavenly Star Banner and selecting Star Lords, the Zhou Tian Star Array will be further improved to enhance its power.

This would make it easier for Lin Yang to participate in the great battle and slay Hongjun. However, on the other hand, Lin Yang also needed to increase his own side's defenses.

After all, one must be able to fight, but also be able to withstand attacks. Originally, if Lin Yang had obtained the Hetu and Luoshu from the Sun Star, he wouldn't have needed to go through all this trouble.

The two great treasures, Hetu and Luoshu, contain a grand formation—the Hunyuan Heluo Grand Formation.

This grand formation is combined with the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Formation, which can enhance the power of the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Formation in all aspects.

Especially in terms of defense, it makes it even more difficult to find the various key points of the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array.

Unfortunately, Lin Yang was a fraction too slow at the time, as he had to focus all his efforts on suppressing the most important Chaos Bell.

Therefore, they followed the Hetu and Luoshu.

Therefore, the Hunyuan Heluo Grand Formation would naturally be out of the question.

Fortunately, there is something else that can fill the gap: the Earth Book, Zhen Yuanzi's Earth Book.

At the same time, this book of the earth is one of the three books of heaven, earth and man, and it was transformed from the embryonic membrane of the primordial earth.

The Earth Book excels at defense.

In terms of defensive capabilities alone, in the entire prehistoric world, apart from innate treasures, only the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda can truly surpass it.

All other lotus platforms and the Five Primordial Banners are inferior to his. (Note: The lotus platforms mentioned here do not include the Twenty-Four Grade Creation Green Lotus, assuming that the Twenty-Four Grade Creation Green Lotus has differentiated.)

Therefore, Lin Yang's intention was to integrate the Earth Book into the Zhou Tian Star Array to reinforce the array.

In this way, his Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array, with the Sun Star, Moon Star, 365 main stars, 14,800 secondary stars, and corresponding star lords, the Greater and Lesser Zhou Tian Star Banners, as well as the Fusang Tree, the Laurel Tree, the Star Fruit Tree, and treasures such as the Chaos Bell, the Mountain and River Map, the Sun Essence Wheel, and the Moon Essence Wheel, will reach its current limit, and the chances of facing Hongjun will be even greater.

Lin Yang was very clear about one thing: Hongjun had to die in this battle, that was the most important thing. But apart from that, he was now in the same boat as everyone else, and they all wanted to get rid of Hongjun.

But everyone has their own selfish motives. At that time, it's uncertain who will truly exert their strength and who will secretly preserve their power. Therefore, no matter what, one must improve their own strength to the extreme.

Although he possessed the Starry Sky and took over this great power, seemingly on par with the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans, Lin Yang also knew that the Starry Sky had been in a state of chaos for a long time, and that neither Cangtian, Xuantian, nor Huangtian were particularly adept at managing such a force.

In terms of foundation, the Starry Sky is far inferior to the three races, and even the Rahu cannot compare.

After all, Rahu has now revealed his fangs and has almost demonized all living beings on the entire western land. Lin Yang is far inferior to him in this ability.

Therefore, Lin Yang must not only go all out to kill Hongjun, but also make preparations to compete for the Jade Tablet of Creation after Hongjun's death, or deal with attacks from others. He cannot be complacent about either of these matters.

After all, there are no permanent allies, only those with aligned interests. When interests diverge, former allies can turn on you at any time.

Lin Yang doesn't trust anyone else at all now; the only person he can absolutely trust is Wang Shu.

However, Wang Shu's strength was too weak, especially compared to Yuan Feng, who was also a female deity.

Therefore, Lin Yang's search for the Earth Book was not only to reinforce the Zhou Tian Star Array, but also to enhance Wang Shu's defenses.

After all, he already possessed the Chaos Bell and had refined most of it, so defense was no longer a concern.

However, Wangshu's defenses are somewhat weak; although the Mountain and River Map and the Plain Cloud Banner can be used.

However, considering its shortcomings, Lin Yang felt more at ease taking another Earth Book.

After about a hundred years, Lin Yang finally found Longevity Mountain.

As usual, after using the Void Seal, Lin Yang entered Longevity Mountain.

There stood a magnificent mountain, towering into the clouds and stretching endlessly. It was more of a mountain range than a mountain itself.

One after another, the strange peaks stand out, each with its own unique shape, some straight, some winding, with cascading waterfalls and mountain streams, serene and secluded, containing a kind of mystery that can only be understood intuitively and cannot be described in words.

It truly is a sacred place for cultivation, a blessed land of Longevity Mountain, and a grotto heaven of Wuzhuang Temple.

This is the birthplace of Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of earth immortals, a place of exceptional beauty and rich spiritual energy.

Lin Yang also sensed a familiar aura, which was none other than the primordial chaos energy.

Within this Longevity Mountain, there also exists primordial chaos energy. And if I'm not mistaken, the location of this primordial chaos energy should be the same as the location of Zhen Yuanzi, the Ginseng Fruit Tree, and the Earth Book.

Sure enough, not long after, Lin Yang followed the guidance of the chaotic primordial energy to the source, where he saw a tall, towering tree, lush and green, radiating brilliant light.

The rich and pure energy of the Earth element is very refreshing.

This large tree is the Ginseng Fruit Tree. And beneath the tree, a yellow form is constantly coalescing.

Undoubtedly, this is Zhen Yuanzi. He was formed from the essence of Wu Earth.

Next to it floated a book, which was the Earth Book.

However, to Lin Yang's surprise, there was one more thing besides the three.

There was a cloud floating above the ginseng fruit tree, seemingly shielding it from the sun.

This cloud is a red cloud, and the aura it exudes is also quite unusual.

Moreover, what's amazing is that this red cloud contains the attributes of the four elements: water, fire, and wind, thus creating a red cloud.

Beneath the tree, however, Zhen Yuanzi's true nature lies in the land of the Four Symbols.

Thus, the origins of the two can be said to complement each other perfectly, forming a complete set of four symbols.

This was especially true for that red cloud.

Therefore, rather than saying that the red cloud was blocking the sun for the ginseng fruit tree, it would be more accurate to say that it was attracted by Zhen Yuanzi next to the tree.

After all, as a tree, the ginseng fruit tree itself does not need to be shaded from the sun.

Lin Yang never expected that he could capture Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun, these two best buddies, in one fell swoop here.

When I read fantasy novels about prehistoric times in my previous life, my evaluation of Hongyun was always superficial; I felt disappointed in him.

He sat on the prayer mat, but out of kindness, he gave it to Zhunti, which brought him immense karma.

In the end, he was killed by Zhunti through Kunpeng, gaining no benefit whatsoever, and instead perished.

Zhen Yuanzi, his close friend, kindly advised him to stay in Wanshou Mountain, but he refused to listen and insisted on running out to be killed.

All of this made Lin Yang look down on Hong Yun. But as Lin Yang transmigrated, he realized that the things in this world were not something that Hong Yun could change at will.

After all, when he sat on that futon, he didn't know that it was a sacred position, and that giving it up would have such serious consequences.

If she had known, Hongyun naturally wouldn't have done that.

In short, good intentions are not wrong, but it is wrong if one does not have enough power to take responsibility for their good intentions turning into bad outcomes.

Ultimately, it all boils down to one thing: Hongyun isn't strong enough. If Hongyun were strong enough, would Kunpeng dare to cause him trouble?

How could Zhunti not repay his kindness?

Ultimately, this world is still a dog-eat-dog world where the strong are respected.

Putting everything else aside, just this one instance: Hongjun and the others had just launched a joint attack on Lin Yang, but Lin Yang turned around and contacted everyone, intending to kill Hongjun.

The purpose was to take advantage of the fact that Hongjun had not yet attained enlightenment or become a saint, to change the original trend and thus truly create a completely new prehistoric world.

This entirely new primordial world is no longer the same as before. Hongjun became a saint and merged with the Dao, and the Six Saints proved the Dao, thus firmly occupying the high position and making it impossible for others to rise to prominence.

At the very least, Lin Yang was determined to carve out a way to survive for himself.

If Hongjun dies, he lives; if Hongjun doesn't die, then he dies.

It's that simple.

Just then, as Lin Yang approached Zhen Yuanzi, the Earth Book floating beside Zhen Yuanzi suddenly emitted countless rays of light.

However, this companion treasure of Zhen Yuanzi possessed its own sentience. Sensing the unfamiliar aura, it automatically revived and intended to protect Zhen Yuanzi.

Lin Yang smiled slightly upon seeing this; he had never intended to forcibly take the Earth Book in the first place.

At this time, Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun had clearly developed intelligence and were able to communicate.

Therefore, Lin Yang did not go over there, but instead used his divine sense to communicate with Zhen Yuanzi.

"Fellow Daoist, I am the Daoist of Creation. I have come here today for the Earth Book, intending to borrow it to overcome a tribulation. If you are generous, I will surely repay you in the future."

Lin Yang did not intend to kill Zhen Yuanzi. After all, he did not cultivate the Dao of Slaughter or the Dao of Devouring.

Moreover, with a major battle imminent, fate plays a crucial role. If he were to kill Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun, it would inexplicably backfire on him.

Lin Yang understood this point very deeply after comprehending the supernatural powers of Zi Wei Dou Shu.

Even the recent attack by various powerful figures can be seen as a consequence of fate turning against him.

It was precisely because he had acted recklessly in the past, killing innate deities such as the Eastern King Duke, that he suffered a backlash.

Cause and effect, cause and effect, there is a cause and an effect, this is a principle that exists in the universe.

Although Lin Yang is powerful, he cannot disobey orders; one must bear the consequences of one's actions.

Of course, if one is powerful enough to understand cause and effect, it is not impossible to forcibly reverse cause and effect.

However, Lin Yang hasn't reached that point yet, so he can only go with the flow for now.

At least before this great battle, Lin Yang did not want to ruin his own destiny.

Besides, Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of earth immortals, also had a good reputation, and Lin Yang had a good impression of him, which is why he didn't have any intention of killing him.

If it were just Hongyun, then Lin Yang might still have the same idea as before: regardless of cause and effect, he would just take all the benefits first.

In a way, Hongyun's success this time was thanks to Zhen Yuanzi. Since Lin Yang didn't touch Zhen Yuanzi, he naturally wouldn't touch him either.
