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

The blow pierced through his flesh, and Shen Ni felt a sharp pain. A loud, yet painful, eagle cry echoed throughout the primordial world.

"You insolent brat, how dare you!"

Shen Ni was both shocked and furious. Even though he had anticipated that he might not be able to escape unscathed when Qing Tian died, he was still quite unwilling and incredulous when the moment actually arrived.

At the last moment, Shen Ni actually transformed into human form, even though this would greatly reduce his combat power.

But he did it anyway.

The human form of Shen Ni was a white-haired youth. His once smooth long hair had become dry and scorched due to Hou Tu's divine light of reincarnation. He was covered in wounds, his clothes were tattered, and there was a penetrating wound on his arm, left by Xu Qing, which was still gurgling blood.

"Shennie, what do you mean by this?"

Seeing that Shen Ni had recovered his human form after being seriously injured and had no intention of continuing to attack, Xu Qing was confident that he had no chance of turning the tide, so he also stopped attacking and asked in confusion.

Houtu and Nuwa also stopped their attack, and together with Xu Qing, they occupied the four directions, completely surrounding Shen Ni.

Shen Ni looked at Xu Qing and said unwillingly.

"I am no match for you. I'm afraid I won't be leaving today. Now, I have only one question."

Xu Qing asked, "What?"

Shen Ni glanced at the ferocious beast world behind him, which had been split in two, and turned to Xu Qing.

"What exactly was that bizarre attack of yours that killed Kunwu and the Three Heavens? I can die, but I cannot accept dying without knowing why!"

"To be honest, although I, Shen Ni, am no match for you, I am not convinced by you. I know that your cultivation level is not even comparable to that of the Three Heavens."

"I'm not saying this to accuse you of winning unfairly, it's just that I... am not reconciled."

Xu Qing remained silent for a moment before speaking.

"That's a method left behind by the Great God Pangu, which can use the Three Treasures of Creation to reproduce the power of the Axe that created the heavens."

"I see... I see..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ni couldn't help but look up at the sky and murmur, "It's actually the Father God..."

A hint of confusion flashed in his eyes. Shen Ni seemed to be asking Xu Qing, or perhaps himself, or even questioning the long-dead Pangu God across time and space.

"The Father God is so ruthless, leaving no way out..."

"Are we, the people of this world of countless eons that were captured, destined to die from birth?"

Xu Qing sighed softly and said.

"The Great Dao is ruthless, and the Way of Heaven is impartial. Although the Great God Pangu created us, he only had the primordial world in his heart."

"After the primordial chaos, there will be a great calamity every 6.4 billion years, and we will not be able to escape it either."

"Besides, the three of you were separated by time, so let's just say you died at that time."

Shen Ni snorted coldly and said again.

"Don't think I don't know that once the Heavenly Dao is born, the Great Calamity will no longer be terrifying. You later generations have all sorts of ways to transcend the Great Calamity."

Xu Qing remained silent for a moment before speaking again.

Indeed, I am luckier than you.

The world is inherently unfair.

Upon hearing Xu Qing's answer, Shen Ni's eyes regained some of their luster, and he nodded in satisfaction.

"It's not a fault of war, but rather Heaven's will."

Don't waste your good fortune!

As the last character for "luck" fell, Shen Ni's body suddenly trembled violently, and he chose to commit suicide.

When the Primordial Golden Immortal committed suicide, countless extraordinary phenomena of heaven and earth should have appeared. However, Shen Ni was, after all, a person from the world of the Great Tribulation Projection, and his magical power was illusory. In the end, he only brought up gusts of wind and left nothing behind.

"God-rebel! You!"

Qiongqi was still struggling, fantasizing that Shenni could defeat Xu Qing and the others, and then lead him to escape. With the three projection worlds having unlimited resources, he might be able to find a chance to make a comeback.

But now, the god is dead, and everything is in vain!

Xu Qing looked at Shen Ni with some emotion in his eyes. He was a pitiful person. Shen Ni had done nothing wrong. It could only be said that he was unlucky. The same was true for San Tian and Kun Wu, who died even earlier than him.

Then, Xu Qingfei flew to the battlefield where Qiongqi was and spoke to the already listless Qiongqi.

"Shichen, Shenni is dead. You are no match for me. Give up resistance, and perhaps I can spare your life."

Shi Chen had completely exhausted all his tricks and didn't even need Xu Qing's words. He was already lying motionless on the ground, and the inverted Yin and Yang and Yang Mei above his head were also ashen-faced, like a fake human.

"Xu Qing, I never expected to be defeated by a junior like you. Do with me as you please!"

Upon hearing Xu Qing's words, Shi Chen replied.

Xu Qing continued.

"I will neither kill you nor torture you."

"I just have a few questions for you."

The time was left to rot.

"I can't tell you anything."

Xu Qing smiled and said.

"Haven't you always harbored resentment towards Pangu? I'm giving you a chance for revenge, of course you don't want it?"

Could Xu Qing really be so kind? Shi Chen and the others didn't believe him at all, but Qiongqi shook his head and replied.

"Oh yes, yes, you're right!"

Xu Qing remained unperturbed and continued speaking to himself.

"The Great Tribulation intends to destroy the powerful beings of the Primordial World. Although the Heavenly Dao has emerged and saints can survive, there are ultimately only nine positions available. However, I do not only have these nine friends."

"Tell me how to survive the Great Calamity, and I will make it public. Then, the number of powerful beings in the primordial world will increase, and eventually, the primordial world will perish."

"If the primordial world were to perish, it would erase the last traces of the Great God Pangu's existence. Wouldn't that be equivalent to revenge? See, am I right?"

Shi Chen seemed to be giving up, but his mind actually started to stir again after Xu Qing mentioned revenge.

Upon hearing this, Shi Chen found it increasingly plausible. How could this not be considered a roundabout way of getting revenge?

"Of course you won't really sit idly by and watch the primordial chaos perish. You will look for an opportunity from my words to truly resolve this great calamity, but I may not tell you the truth."

"Xu Qing, are you going to take a gamble with me?"

Finally, Shichen answered.

"Yes, I'm going to take a gamble with you. You can lay some traps in your theory about the Great Tribulation, and I'll use them. If they can trap and kill the Primordial World, then you win!"

Xu Qing said confidently.

"You're betting the entire primordial world on this, kid? You've got quite the gambler's instinct!"

Shi Chen said.

"All you need to say is, 'To bet, or not to bet.'"

"Bet, and I can allow your true spirit to be reincarnated and live as a mortal for another 100,000 years. If you don't gamble, your body and soul will perish."

Somewhat worried that Shichen might not be willing to reveal his time, Xu Qing offered his terms.

"Go ahead and gamble! Why don't you gamble!"

"But please don't make me a mortal. Without power, life would be worse than death for me."

Shi Chen readily agreed to the bet with Xu Qing, but refused the conditions offered by Xu Qing.

Xu Qing was somewhat surprised. You, Shi Chen, keep calling me the Kunhuang Beast King. You're so arrogant.

"Okay, what about the others? Are you in or not?"

Xu Qing then asked Yang Mei and the others.
