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

"This gate can cut through the past and the future. Before the power opened up the world, fate and cause and effect worked together to plan and ultimately calculate that the primordial world would go through twelve great calamities."

"In chronological order, they are: the Pangu Creation Calamity, the Chaos Demon God Calamity, the Ferocious Beast Calamity, the God-Demon Calamity, the Imperial Beast Calamity, the Dragon-Han Calamity, the Dao-Demon Calamity, the Investiture of the Gods Calamity, the Journey to the West Calamity, the Heavenly Demon Calamity, the World-Destroying Calamity, and finally, the Immeasurable Calamity that brought the primordial world back to complete chaos!"

"Back then, we were in the midst of the second great calamity—the Chaos Demon God Calamity. Shichen used his great divine power of the Time Law to sever the River of Time, intercepting three great calamities and sealing them within this gate!"

"As soon as I unleash this gate, three great calamities will converge, and the so-called primordial world will surely be destroyed!"

Yang Mei roared to the sky, his voice bold and domineering, and continued, "Hongjun is dead! Let's see who can stop me!"

"Millions of years ago, Pangu, I avenged the blood feud that slaughtered three thousand of my races!"

Xu Qing said "Oh," indicating that he had obtained the information and could stop activating the emotional laws.

"But you seem very weak right now?"

Yang Mei, still unaware of what was happening, said...

"Even if I'm weak, I'm still a powerful expert at the Hunyuan Wuji level. What can a mere Hunyuan Daluo do to me?"

"I have severed the connection between the human realm of the Lesser Realm and the human realm of the Greater Realm. Xu Qing, you didn't expect that, did you!"

Before Yang Mei could finish speaking, Xu Qing brandished his spear, his aura surging, and thrust it towards Yang Mei. The pressure of a Dao Lord level was no longer concealed as he shouted.

"Before the war even began, I was already the Lord of Humanity!"

Yang Mei was shocked, her face filled with terror. She questioned him, but at the same time, she also realized many things.

"You've never believed me?! How is that possible?! Without my Nago Guardian Jade, you would have died at Hongjun's hands long ago! Ah, no wonder Daode kept his strength hidden all that time, it turns out he wasn't hiding it after all!"

"But morality was still alive then, so how did you become the Lord of Humanity?"

The elder brother's words and actions, the chess game in the small world, and other details surfaced in Xu Qing's mind, eventually converging on the spear and piercing through Yang Mei.

"Everyone strives to be the first to achieve the Great Dao. Hongjun and Luohou were willing to sever their own cultivation to enter the Primordial World as soon as possible, yet you alone remain oblivious?"

"If you were truly a guileless person, that would be one thing, but that day when you were playing chess with Taiyi, you proceeded step by step, leaving no stone unturned, clearly demonstrating your deep cunning. How can I trust you!"

"As for the Lord of Humanity..."

Unexpectedly, the Primordial Purple Qi of Humanity that my elder brother condensed in the Kunlun Mountains that day had a miraculous effect.

The story begins at the beginning. Xu Qing and Dao De were in the Fire Cloud Cave and both agreed that Yang Mei was problematic. Xu Qing had merged with the Primordial Purple Qi of the Human Dao to become a Human Dao Saint, and had also participated in Nuwa's creation of humans, so he had a close relationship with the Human Dao.

However, morality itself is the way of heaven and the sage. After this comparison, humanity ultimately chose Xu Qing, and thus created this extraordinary force.

Originally, Xu Qing planned to use this matter to distract Hongjun, but he was stopped by morality. "With a little effort, even if Hongjun is distracted, Zhen Yuanzi will not be able to get close to Hongjun."

In the end, Xu Qing was persuaded and chose to exchange the Three Pure Ones' Moral Transformation into One Qi for severely injuring Hongjun, while he himself kept his strength hidden to deal with Yang Mei.

Nuwa, on the other hand, was not threatened and stood with Xu Qing from beginning to end. As agreed, she was a hidden pawn responsible for balancing the combat power of Yang Mei and Hongjun, which is why she had to "go the extra mile".

Xu Qing firmly believed that Hongjun and Yangmei had been rivals for billions of years, and both must have hidden tricks up their sleeves. Their strength must also be above his own. Only by concealing his own strength, balancing the two sides, and forcing them to use their hidden tricks could he possibly have the last laugh and reap the benefits.

Hongjun's cards were Rahu Corpse Puppet, Three Corpses, Qi Luck Method, and Fuxi. Yangmei's cards were Curse Mirror and Hunyuan Immortal Dragon Crutch, and the Gate of All Wonders. Xu Qing's cards were Nuwa, Three Pure Ones Return to One Qi, Zhen Yuanzi's Earth Book, and Primordial Purple Qi.

Of the three, Xu Qing was the weakest. If Xu Qing had revealed his strength at the beginning, he probably wouldn't have been a match for him. But now, he survived to the end!

Xu Qing's thoughts drifted millions of miles away, only to see the old Taoist priest, who had been lifeless under the gun, suddenly move!

Yang Mei's drooping head suddenly lifted, her pupils were pitch black, her smile stretched to her ears, her lips were torn and blood flowed, revealing her sharp white teeth.

The bleeding lips opened and closed, causing the air to vibrate, and a strange, chilling voice rang out.

"The one who survives to the end isn't necessarily the winner!"

Before he finished speaking, Yang Mei's head and entire body transformed into black mist and merged into the Myriad Wonders Gate behind him.

Xu Qing tried to stop it, but the black mist emitted a faint light that sent Xu Qing flying, preventing him from getting any closer.

The gate of profound meaning received the black energy, and the six kinds of Daoist rhymes stopped rotating and instead appeared together, finally intertwining and entangled. The gate opened!

A black curtain appeared in the doorway, and within the curtain emerged a face. The face spoke, and Yang Mei's sinister voice came from within the curtain.

"Three years later, the immeasurable calamity will begin!"

Then, the Gate of Myriad Wonders vanished, disappearing without a trace, leaving Xu Qing alone high in the sky.

The Calamity of Ferocious Beasts, the Calamity of Gods and Demons, and the Calamity of Sovereign Beasts—these three great calamities were recorded in Xu Qingqian's memories of his previous life, but he had never heard of them in this life. Unexpectedly, they were intercepted by the time of birth. What a grand scheme!

Time is the emperor, space is the sovereign; capturing the long river of time, Shichen truly deserves to be the number one among the three thousand demon gods!

Without time to lament, Xu Qing began to recall which powerful figures and their characteristics had participated in the three great calamities.

Among the ferocious beasts of the Great Calamity, the strongest were none other than the Chaos Taotie, Taowu, and Qiongqi. Each of them possessed the strength of a Dao Lord, lacked consciousness, and was formed from the resentment of three thousand demon gods and the origin of the primordial world. In the end, they fought each other and perished.

During the Great Calamity of Gods and Demons, the strongest beings were the three ancient star demon gods, Azure Heaven, Blue Heaven, and Yellow Heaven. The three of them opened up the thirty-three heavens and established the Primordial Ancient Heavenly Court. The so-called opening up by Emperor Jun and Taiyi was actually just discovery.

The three of them eventually attempted to unify the primordial world, fighting against countless demons and gods on earth, but ultimately perished together.

During the Great Tribulation of the Imperial Beasts, the strongest beings were Kunwu, who established the Kunwu Dynasty, and Shenni, the Beast King at that time. It was at this time that Hongjun entered the Primordial World and seized the first wisp of Primordial Chaos Qi that was supposed to take form during this Great Tribulation.

The two powerful beings each established their own forces and fought each other, ultimately resulting in mutual destruction and the downfall of the imperial dynasty and the beast kingdom. This led to the rise of the three races of dragon, phoenix, and qilin.

Four Dao Lord level experts? Xu Qing frowned, his expression solemn. If it were before the great battle, Hongjun alone could have blocked the four ferocious beasts.

But now, only he and Houtu have reached this level, and the great battle shattered the primordial land. The human path and the earth path can be said to be extremely weak now.

Oh, right, the Way of Heaven!

Xu Qing suddenly remembered something, looked up, and heard Nuwa's hand radiating five colors. He exclaimed in horror.

"Xu Qing, the sky... the five-colored stones can't mend it!"
