Chapter 558

"Is the sixfold reincarnation of the Three Realms this poorly developed?"

Luo Fu naturally saw through the changes in Pingxin Niangniang's state.

He hadn't expected that merely condensing a thread of the sixfold reincarnation's primordial essence would exert considerable pressure on Pingxin Niangniang.

"Be quiet!"

Looking at the six still-turbulent Void Stone Gates, Luo Fu softly commanded.

That soft command, though utterly plain and devoid of any power, carried the weight of heavenly decree.

The moment the words left his lips, the six Void Stone Gates ceased their agitation, returning to their original state and continuing to smoothly govern the reincarnation of all beings.

"Fellow Daoist, just who are you? If I hadn't seen the Dao Ancestor myself, I might have thought you were the Dao Ancestor—not even the Dao Ancestor could interfere with the sixfold reincarnation. How on earth did you do this?"

Seeing that Luo Fu's single soft command had silenced the six Void Stone Gates, Pingxin Niangniang was utterly astonished.

Her elegant face was filled with unhidden confusion and disbelief.

Luo Fu's actions had just shattered Pingxin Niangniang's entire worldview.

As the controller of the sixfold reincarnation, Pingxin Niangniang could barely maintain its operation even after expending immense effort.

Yet Luo Fu, an outsider, merely uttered a soft command—did nothing else—and the sixfold reincarnation obediently stilled.

The contrast was so immense that their roles seemed entirely reversed.

As if Luo Fu were the true master of the sixfold reincarnation, and Pingxin Niangniang merely an outsider.

Luo Fu, however, remained calm.

The sixfold reincarnation was something he knew better than anyone.

After all, the sixfold reincarnation of the Primordial World was created by his own hands.

Unlike Houtu, who merely, under the guidance of the Dao, barely managed to transform herself into the reincarnation.

Luo Fu, relying on his own profound mastery of the Dao, personally forged the sixfold reincarnation, becoming its true sovereign—the Lord of Earth.

Yes, the Lord of Earth.

In the Primordial World, Luo Fu was the true Lord of Earth.

Precisely because of this, Luo Fu could bestow his authority upon Houtu of the Primordial World, making her the Earth Saint.

A Saint is a position granted by Heaven and Earth—not something that can be casually given away.

As the Lord of Earth, even after bestowing authority upon Houtu, even upon arriving in the Journey to the West World, Luo Fu's status as Lord of Earth remained unchanged.

In other words, his current identity is still equivalent to the Lord of Earth.

The sixfold reincarnation is the core of Earth, but Earth is not merely the sixfold reincarnation.

In other words, the sixfold reincarnation is merely a part of Earth—a core subordinate.

When a subordinate encounters its superior, it naturally obeys.

Though Luo Fu is not the direct superior of the Journey to the West World's sixfold reincarnation, and the six Void Stone Gates possess only instinct, not sentience, unable to discern distinctions,

moreover, the Earth of the Journey to the West World is currently without a master.

With Luo Fu's understanding of Earth, seizing control of it and reclaiming his status as Lord of Earth would require only a mere gesture.

Earth is one of the Three Dao—Heaven, Earth, and Humanity—but whether in the Primordial World or the Journey to the West World, Earth has only just begun to develop.

If one must categorize by realm, both the Primordial World's Earth and the Journey to the West World's Earth are merely equivalent to the Hunyuan Saint level, still far from reaching the Heavenly Dao tier.

With Luo Fu's ultimate Dao comprehension, a Hunyuan-level Earth requires only a second glance to be fully understood.

In fact, among the many Divine and Demon Dao lineages Luo Fu has absorbed, some are Earth lineages.

After absorbing these Earth lineages, Luo Fu's understanding of Earth had reached an extraordinarily terrifying level.

"Heh, how did I do it? Of course, it's as simple as having hands. As for who I am, Fellow Daoist, you'll know soon enough. To be honest, our relationship is exceedingly intimate. Look at this other thing in my hand—you'll understand."

Luo Fu smiled softly, then withdrew the thread of sixfold reincarnation's primordial essence, leaving only another earth-yellow pearl.

"This? My primordial essence? No—it should be Houtu's primordial essence. Why do you have Houtu's primordial essence? Why does this essence feel so strange—both familiar and alien?"

At Luo Fu's reminder, Pingxin Niangniang finally noticed the earth-yellow pearl in his hand.

The earth-yellow pearl was formed from a thread of Houtu's primordial essence from the Primordial World.

Pingxin Niangniang is the avatar of the Journey to the West World's Houtu; the moment the earth-yellow pearl appeared, she should have sensed it.

But the agitation of the sixfold reincarnation had consumed nearly all her attention, preventing her from immediately recognizing the pearl.

"Fellow Daoist is correct—this is indeed a thread of Houtu's primordial essence. Explaining it verbally would be too tedious. Just look for yourself!"

Shh!

With a mere flick of his finger, the earth-yellow pearl shot from Luo Fu's hand toward Pingxin Niangniang's third eye.

Pingxin Niangniang made no move to block it—she allowed the pearl to strike her.

She could sense Luo Fu harbored no ill intent.

With the power Luo Fu had displayed, if he truly wished to harm her, he wouldn't need such elaborate measures.

He need only strip her of control over the sixfold reincarnation to utterly subdue her.

The moment the earth-yellow pearl struck Pingxin Niangniang, it vanished into her third eye.

Whoosh!

Countless pieces of information flooded into Pingxin Niangniang's mind, absorbed and understood.

She did not take long to fully assimilate the information.

"So you're from another Primordial World—in that world, you're an ally of the Wuzude Alliance, created the sixfold reincarnation, and bestowed its authority upon another Houtu?"
