Chapter 1086: Hongjun Withdraws from Merging with the Dao

"Di Qi is meticulous in his calculations and also controls the Heavenly Dao Network; it is impossible for him to let public opinion continue to ferment, eventually coercing the living beings of the Primordial World to the point where he himself is forced to announce the method for entering the Return to Void."

Hongjun sighed inwardly in amazement.

This Di Qi truly calculates every single step he takes.

He even suspected that the overwhelming and surging public opinion on the network was fueled by Di Qi himself, with the natural goal of luring Jieyin, Zhunti, Houtu, and all other Quasi-Saints into the Return to Void.

In this way, without any powerhouses above the Quasi-Saint level outside the Great Shang lineage, the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty would be completely worry-free.

Especially Buddhism.

The Western Two Sages now have absolutely no opponents, and in their hands, Buddhism will achieve terrifying development.

Once there are many people who believe in Buddhism, it will naturally erode the local governance of Great Shang.

But since Di Qi promised not to ban proselytizing, the other party cannot slap their own face; therefore, scheming against the Western Two Sages and luring them into the Return to Void is the best choice.

However, he couldn't be bothered to care about this.

How could the mere Primordial World compare to the Great Dao? Leaving it to Di Qi is fine.

……

"I can't contact him."

Luo Hou's expression was ugly.

He still had a large number of secret agents in the Primordial World, and no movement could be hidden from him.

After learning that Di Qi had announced the method for entering the Return to Void, he immediately began to contact Yang Mei, but the result was that he could not reach him no matter what.

Clearly, Yang Mei had abandoned him and entered the Return to Void on his own.

This feeling of being abandoned was very unpleasant; he felt like a useless chess piece.

For someone as proud as him, this was simply a trampling of his dignity.

Furthermore, the Return to Void is dangerous; he had originally wanted to follow Yang Mei to take the opportunity to reap some benefits.

But now, he could only venture in by himself.

Fortunately.

Fortunately, Di Qi announced the method for entering the Return to Void; otherwise, in the Primordial World, wanting to surpass Di Qi and Hongjun was something he could almost never achieve. He admitted that he had been a bit arrogant in the past.

"Di Qi!"

"Hongjun!"

"Yang Mei!"

Luo Hou's voice was low, his eyes filled with coldness.

He had grown to hate Yang Mei as well.

He held the Creation Heavenly Crystal in his hand and slowly closed his eyes, as endless Creation Power merged into his body.

Return to Void.

He must heal his wounds first before going.

……

Time passed in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye, five years had gone by.

These five years, the Primordial World was very calm.

The conquering armies of the Four Seas were still conquering everywhere, and one star field after another in the Outer Starry Sky was incorporated into the Great Shang administrative system; everyone knew that the Primordial World would sooner or later belong to the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty.

In fact, the Demon Race in the Outer Starry Sky very much wanted to surrender.

But it is not the case that just because you want to surrender, the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty will accept your surrender.

For those Demon Race members who had once participated in the actions to exterminate the Human Race, the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty was determined to annihilate them.

This also led many of the Demon Race to have no choice but to resist.

In these five years, Buddhism developed extremely rapidly; countless cultivators, in order to obtain a quota to enter the Return to Void, joined Buddhism one after another, allowing the influence of Buddhism to quickly spread throughout the Heavens and Myriad Worlds of the Primordial World.

The momentum of the number one religion in the world had already been established.

Besides Buddhism, the traditions founded by the other six Quasi-Saints also developed rapidly.

The temptation of the Return to Void was simply too great.

……

This day.

Subtle and long-lasting spatial fluctuations came from the depths of Chaos.

Yin Qi suddenly raised his head, revealing a hint of a smile.

That Great World had completely taken shape. He stood up, took a large step, and disappeared from where he was; when he appeared again, he was already in Chaos.

Hongjun arrived almost at the same time.

He bowed and said, "Fellow Daoist, how do you intend to name this Great World?"

Yin Qi thought for a moment and said, "Let's call it the Pan Realm, to commemorate the Great God Pangu. The reason this Great World was able to be born is also because Laozi detonated the Pangu Primordial Spirit."

"Good!"

Hongjun nodded.

Next, Yin Qi and Hongjun joined forces, using supreme great magic power to transplant the Pan Realm into the Primordial World, standing alongside the Underworld, the Immortal World, and the Demon World around the Primordial World.

Boom—!

When the Pan Realm was completely settled, the entire Primordial World shook violently.

In the minds of all living beings in the Primordial World, they seemed to hear a loud noise, and then a feeling of great joy welled up spontaneously.

This was the joy of the Heavenly Dao, and all living beings rejoiced together.

No errors, no omissions, all content is here!

Previously, when the Demon World was born, the blessing to the Primordial World was not very large, because the composition of the Demon World was originally existing small demon worlds of the heavens.

However, it is a Great World after all, and it still provides a significant boost to the Primordial World.

But this time, it is completely different.

Firstly, the Pan Realm is an external world, and secondly, this Pan Realm far exceeds the Underworld, the Demon World, and the Immortal World, being even larger than these three worlds combined.

By merging the Pan Realm into his own, the World Origin of the Primordial World naturally becomes even more robust.

The larger the Primordial World, the stronger the Heavenly Dao becomes.

At the edge of the Primordial World, the universe, which was originally expanding, suddenly saw its speed increase sharply.

Countless Chaos shattered, evolving into new heavens, earths, and spaces.

……

The commotion caused by the Pan Realm officially merging into the Primordial World was too great to be hidden from others.

In fact, cultivators above the Great Luo level sensed it the moment Yin Qi and Hongjun moved the Pan Realm into the Primordial World.

However, even if they sensed it, they could only watch quietly.

"I am Yin Qi. Today, together with Hongjun Daozu, I have joined forces to merge a Great World into the Primordial World, and named it the Pan Realm. One month from now, the Pan Realm will officially open to the outside, and the Ten Thousand Races are welcome to reside within."

Just as the living beings of the Primordial World were feeling bewildered, Yin Qi's clear voice rang out, spreading across the entire Primordial World.

Subsequently, Yin Qi also explained the origin of the Pan Realm.

Boom!

"The Pan Realm! Laozi self-destructed, and actually blew out the Pan Realm! And the vastness of the Pan Realm is even greater than the Underworld, the Demon World, and the Immortal World combined! Heavens."

"Hiss. Such a Pan Realm is equivalent to a world at the Opening of Heaven! It must contain countless Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, and many only existed at the Opening of Heaven."

"The Pan Realm, I must go to the Pan Realm; this is much more reliable than the Return Ruins."

……

The Ten Thousand Races of the Primordial World were incredibly excited.

Not long after Yin Qi finished speaking, Hongjun's voice rang out again, spreading across the Ten Thousand Races of the Primordial World.

"I am Hongjun. Feeling that the Primordial Heavenly Dao is now complete, I am withdrawing from Joining the Dao today, and from this point on, I shall retire."

"Exit!"

Hongjun gave a final, soft shout.

Although there was no visible movement, the living beings of the Primordial World felt as if a shackle had been lifted from their hearts.

But at the same time, they also felt that the Heavenly Dao had become more obscure.

Hongjun Joining the Dao.

It was for himself, and also for all living beings.

For himself, it was naturally to cultivate with the help of the power of the Heavenly Dao.

For all living beings, it was to make the Heavenly Dao more manifest and active, making it easier for the living beings of the Primordial World to comprehend the Dao.

But at the same time, Hongjun Joining the Dao was, after all, a weight on the hearts of all living beings, like an invisible shackle placed upon the hearts of the living beings of the Primordial World.

This, in fact, did not pose a major obstacle to cultivation.

As Hongjun withdrew from the state of Joining the Dao, the Heavenly Dao was no longer influenced by Hongjun, and naturally became more obscure.

The Heavenly Dao is unkind, treating all things as straw dogs.

In the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, whether you are an ant or a Saint, it treats everyone equally. (End of this chapter)
