Honghuang: It makes sense that there are four Sanqing, right?

Life or death?

Upon hearing this, Qingtian, Cangtian, and Huangtian all frowned, their eyes filled with displeasure as they looked at Qiongqi.

My two brothers and I, since attaining enlightenment, have opened up the thirty-three heavens, established the Heavenly Court, and roamed the prehistoric world for countless years. We are virtually invincible, like a lone wolf seeking defeat.

Even the strongest immortal on land, the Reincarnation Daoist, is only comparable to any one of my three brothers, so he is nothing to fear.

Now you're telling me we're facing a life-or-death crisis? What nonsense are you spouting?

However, since the newcomer was a Heavenly Dao level expert of unknown origin, Qing Tian, ​​the elder of the three, patiently spoke to Qiong Qi.

"Oh? In that case, the situation is urgent. Please, fellow Daoist, come into my Lingxiao Palace to speak."

"I'm coming right now."

Qiongqi flapped its wings and flew towards the Lingxiao Palace, while Yang Mei and the others waited outside the South Heavenly Gate.

"this……"

"Fellow Daoist, can't you transform into human form?"

As Qiongqi entered the Lingxiao Palace, Qingtian, Cangtian, and Huangtian also entered. Looking at Qiongqi, which almost filled their field of vision, Huangtian couldn't help but ask.

A hint of human embarrassment appeared on Qiongqi's tiger-like face, and Shichen's somewhat awkward voice rang out.

"My physique is special and I cannot transform into human form. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you, fellow Daoist."

"There are even those who can't transform into human form!" Upon hearing this, the displeasure in the eyes of Qingtian, Cangtian, and Huangtian turned into deep disdain. "What's the difference between you and a ferocious beast?"

Shi Chen saw through what the three were thinking and was equally angry. "If I were in my prime, none of you three would be my match, yet you have suffered such humiliation."

You ignorant juniors, let alone my true form, even this body that you look down upon, when he roamed the primordial world, you hadn't even taken human form yet!

What an ignorant fool!

Although he was disdainful in his heart, he still put on a good show and said Qing Tian.

"It's alright, it's alright. Fortunately, my Lingxiao Palace is large enough, three thousand miles in size and three thousand miles in height."

"Fellow Daoist, please tell us why you have come here. You said earlier that this matter concerns my life and death, and we are all very anxious about it."

That's what they said, but Qing Tian and the others had already made up their minds that if they couldn't come up with a reason, they would leave this beast race of unknown origin here.

Although Shi Chen was burning with anger, he knew he had important matters to attend to, so he suppressed his anger and spoke.

"You three fellow Daoists are unparalleled in your abilities, and your immortal path is flourishing. You should live as long as the heavens, but... do you three know? You only have 100,000 years left to live!"

"you!"

As soon as the time was spoken, Cangtian and Huangtian could barely control their emotions and were about to make a move. They had 100,000 years left to live, so what difference was there between this and dying immediately?

However, the hot-tempered Cangtian and Huangtian were controlled by the relatively calm Qingtian. Then, Qingtian nodded to Shichen, signaling him to continue.

Shi Chen remained calm and mysterious.

"Do you know what a kalpa (or eon) is?"

Qing Tian said with a dark face.

"I know that in the primordial world, a great reshuffling occurs every certain period of time, known as the Great Tribulation."

"The Great Tribulation is a supreme rule established by the Great Dao before the primordial world was created by the Father God Pangu."

"The purpose is to prevent the spiritual energy of the primordial world from being completely absorbed by a few powerful individuals, which would lead to the destruction of the primordial world."

"Therefore, the Great Tribulation targets powerful individuals at the level of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal or above. At that time, these powerful individuals will be affected by the tribulation energy and fight each other to the death."

"In our inherited memories from before we took human form, we all have information about the Great Tribulation. Now that the Heavenly Dao, Earthly Dao, and Human Dao have not yet emerged, we are also aware that if the Great Tribulation is about to arrive, we will probably not be able to escape death in the end."

"Could it be that the Great Calamity is only 100,000 years long? That's impossible. When the Great Calamity comes, there will be signs."

Shi Chen smiled slightly, still with that mysterious look, and asked Qing Tian.

"Now that the cycle of kalpas is determined, do you know how many kalpas there are in total, and what kinds of kalpas there are?"

Qingtian asked, bewildered.

"These things were not mentioned in the inherited memories."

Shi Chen chuckled and said again.

"There are twelve great eons in the primordial world, and the three of you are the protagonists of the fourth great eon."

At this point, Shi Chen's tone shifted, and he asked another question.

"Do you know what the first three great kalpas were?"

The three, Qingtian, Cangtian, and Huangtian, now believed that Shichen really knew something. Even if they didn't completely believe him, they were no longer angry and answered calmly.

"We naturally know that the Father God Pangu created the world and killed three thousand Chaos Gods at the same time."

"These are the first great calamity, the creation calamity, and the second great calamity, the chaos calamity. As for the specifics of the third great calamity, it is not mentioned in the inherited memories."

You little brat, you leave behind a legacy of memories for your descendants, but you won't tell them any of the secrets, yet you have to record your own great achievements, right?

Shi Chen thought to himself, then continued.

"The third great calamity is the Great Calamity of Ferocious Beasts. The main characters are four chaotic ferocious beasts formed from the primordial turbid energy and the resentment of three thousand demon gods. My body, which cannot take human form, is Qiongqi, one of the four great ferocious beasts."

Ok? !

The three, Qingtian, Cangtian, and Huangtian, were stunned for a moment, then quickly grasped the key phrase: "My body," which means that the person speaking in front of them was actually born before the Great Calamity of Ferocious Beasts? Then wouldn't he be the Chaos Demon God?

As if hearing the thoughts of Qingtian, Cangtian, and Huangtian, Shichen smiled slightly and continued.

"You're right, I am one of the three thousand Chaos Demons, the Time Demon, Shichen!"

"When Pangu created the world, he wanted to kill all of us Chaos Gods. In the end, we were locked in a stalemate with the six strongest Gods."

"In the end, seeing that he was no match for the eight of us, Pangu cut off the water of the River of Time and separated three kalpas from the twelve kalpas to seal the eight of us."

"These three great calamities are the Great Calamity of Ferocious Beasts, the Great Calamity of Gods and Demons, and the Great Calamity of Sovereign Beasts, which are adjacent to the Great Calamity of Chaos. These three great calamities separate us demon gods and demons."

"These three worlds of tribulation, having departed from the river of time, have lost their past and future and cannot endure."

"After a certain period of time, it will dissipate. Pangu will then use a secret method to set restrictions on us, connecting our lives with the three great calamities of the world, trying to slowly wear us down."

"Now, the true primordial world has entered the eighth great eon, and the three great eons that were cut off only have 100,000 years left."

"Not long ago, we used the backup plan we left behind, the Gate of All Wonders, to go to the Great Calamity of Ferocious Beasts, seize the bodies of the four great ferocious beasts, and try to kill the true primordial world, hoping to turn the illusory into the real and gain a chance for our own survival."

"But unexpectedly, the powerful beings in the real prehistoric world are too cunning, and three of the ferocious beasts were ambushed and killed."

"Then I arrived in other worlds of great kalpas."

"Now you should understand what's going on, right? Your revered Pangu God has treated you as expendable pawns and won't join me in destroying the true primordial world."

"You only have 100,000 years to live."
