Chapter 886: The Chaotic World is About to Begin

Nuwa paused.

Thus, she had no choice but to look toward Tongtian Jiaozhu.

As the Holy Mother of the Human Race, it was indeed inappropriate for her to favor one side over the other.

Yet, she was more inclined toward the Yin Shang.

Compared to Di Qi, Ji Fa was far inferior.

Only if Di Qi continued to serve as the Human Emperor could the Human Race achieve better development.

In reality, since the true forms of the Saints were forbidden from stepping into Honghuang, she was actually secretly pleased, for the Demon Race now had a chance to return to Honghuang.

When that time came, she would facilitate an alliance between the Demon Race and the Human Race to suppress the Wu Clan.

In this way, the state of the Witch-Demon era could be restored.

With the Demon Race ruling the Heaven and the Human Race ruling the Earth.

If the Saints knew what Nuwa was thinking, they would likely scoff at it.

Naive!

Tongtian Jiaozhu looked at Nuwa, then looked at Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun.

After a long while, he slowly nodded: "Since the Four Teachings have ceased hostilities, if the disciples remain here to slaughter each other, how can the Four Teachings achieve a true ceasefire? In the end, I fear it will only drag all Four Teachings into it, allowing a third party to reap the benefits."

Nuwa was incredulous, feeling a sense of betrayal.

"Good!"

Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun both revealed smiles.

"Hmph!"

Nuwa's expression turned cold.

Without another word, she turned and vanished into the void.

Yuanshi Tianzun said: "Tongtian, Yunzhongzi has been captured by Yunxiao; tell Yunxiao to release him."

Tongtian Jiaozhu nodded and looked down at Yunxiao below.

Bixiao and Qiongxiao both looked indignant.

But Yunxiao still silently nodded and released Yunzhongzi.

Within the Chan Sect, Yunzhongzi was humble and gentle, unlike other Chan Sect Golden Immortals who had learned little of Yuanshi Tianzun's skills but had mastered the essence of arrogance and shamelessness.

This was the reason why she did not kill him after capturing him.

Yunzhongzi looked around blankly, and upon seeing Yuanshi Tianzun and the others in the firmament, he silently returned to the Xiqi camp.

Laozi looked around at everyone and spoke in a loud voice that spread throughout Honghuang: "Disciples of the Ren Sect, hear my command: from this day forth, the Four Teachings shall cease all fighting. Anyone who dares to violate this shall be expelled from the Ren Sect."

"Disciples of the Chan Sect, hear my command: from this day forth, the Four Teachings shall cease all fighting. Anyone who dares to violate this shall be expelled from the Ren Sect."

"Disciples of the Jie Sect, hear my command: from this day forth, the Four Teachings shall cease all fighting. Anyone who dares to violate this shall be expelled from the Ren Sect."

"Disciples of Buddhism, hear my command: from this day forth, the Four Teachings shall cease all fighting. Anyone who dares to violate this shall be expelled from the Ren Sect."

The Saints issued their declarations one after another.

Subsequently, Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu ordered their disciples within the territories of Yin Shang and Xiqi to no longer participate in the Fengshen War.

If they were serving as officials or generals, they were to either retire or be transferred elsewhere.

After finishing this, Laozi, Yuanshi, Tongtian, Jieyin, and Zhunti departed; they returned to their respective dojos, and after leaving behind one of their Three Corpses to hold the fort, their true selves headed for the Chaos Beyond the Heavens.

No one dared to defy the order of Hongjun Daozu.

Afterward, they opened up their respective dojos in the Chaos at the Edge of the Primordial.

Laozi's Taiqing Heaven;

Yuanshi's Yuqing Heaven;

Tongtian's Shangqing Heaven;

Jieyin and Zhunti's Jiletian;

And the Wuzu Heaven, which was opened later.

As the Saints withdrew from Honghuang, the Chan Sect and Jie Sect cultivators who were supporting Yin Shang and Xiqi departed one after another.

In the Xiqi army, only Jiang Ziya remained.

He was the one tasked with the Investiture of the Gods and still had to continue the work, so he certainly could not leave.

On the Yin Shang side, the army had many Jie Sect disciples; while the majority left directly, quite a few remained.

For example, Wen Zhong, Hong Jin, Yu Hua, and others.

Influenced by this event, Yin Shang and Xiqi were also forced to temporarily cease hostilities.

The expulsion of the Saints from Honghuang had a sensational impact.

Countless factions that had been suppressed by the various sects saw the dawn of their rise.

"Hahaha, good, very good! The Saints have been driven out of Honghuang. This poor Daoist wants to see if those disciples of the various sects still dare to be so arrogant in the future."

"Honghuang has suffered under the Saints for too long; the Dao Ancestor's merit is boundless." "The I Ching says: 'Group of Dragons Without a Leader, the world is auspicious.' Without the Saints in Honghuang, we finally have the opportunity to become Saints ourselves."

"Alas, fortune and misfortune are interdependent. Is it truly good that the Saints have been driven out of Honghuang? With the suppression of the Saints, Honghuang could at least maintain general peace; what follows will likely be chaos and endless warfare among all parties."

"Without the Saints to hold the fort, the Demon Race and the Wu Clan who withdrew from Honghuang will likely re-enter it. Even the Long-Feng Qilin Sanzue of the past may reappear. They were only weakened, not fallen."

As the Saints withdrew from Honghuang, some were joyful and leaping, while others were filled with worry.

The Investiture of the Gods Calamity had just passed, and greater chaos would likely follow in its wake.

Immortal World.

The Heavenly Court.

Haotian said: "Yaochi, did you see that? The various Sages have been driven out of Honghuang. Once the Investiture of the Gods is over, it will be time for my Heavenly Court to reorganize the Three Realms."

He was currently in high spirits, his eyes full of longing.

Please... you.... bookmark.... the.... book....!

After the Investiture of the Gods, the various deities of the Heavenly Court will be fully staffed, and the Heavenly Court will also become the greatest power in Honghuang.

Yaochi was also very happy, but she still said very calmly: "With the Sages withdrawing from Honghuang, the Wu Clan and the Demon Race will inevitably have unusual movements; we must first guard against them."

"There are also the Dragon-Phoenix-Qilin; they are likely to be restless as well."

"Minghe Laozu, Kunpeng Laozu, Zhenyuanzi, and their kind are none of them easy to deal with."

"Even the Demon Race from the various Middle Thousand Worlds will likely emerge one after another, eyeing Honghuang."

The origin of the Demon Race has a history that is extremely ancient.

In the beginning, Pangu slaughtered three thousand Chaos Demon Gods and opened up Honghuang.

The corpses of those Demon Gods partly fell into Honghuang, evolving into all things in Honghuang;

others transformed directly into Middle Thousand Worlds, attached to the Primordial World.

These Middle Thousand Worlds are also very vast, and living beings are born within them as well.

Because of the influence of the lingering thoughts of the Chaos Demon Gods, the living beings of these Middle Thousand Worlds are full of hostility toward the beings of Honghuang, frequently invading Honghuang, burning, killing, and looting with extremely cruel methods, and thus they have been dubbed the Demon Race by the beings of Honghuang.

However, limited by the Middle Thousand Worlds, the Demon Race can at most give birth to Great Luo Golden Immortals.

Although they are highly aggressive, they have never been a cause for concern.

But if Honghuang falls into chaos, they will likely take the opportunity to invade Honghuang once again.

Hearing this, Haotian nodded solemnly as well.

He suddenly realized that although the Sages had been driven away by him, his own opponents had also become much more numerous.

……

"Good, good, good."

"The Sages have been driven out of Honghuang; the opportunity for my Demon Race has arrived."

Lu Ya was incredibly excited.

He looked at the Sun Star, taking a long time to withdraw his gaze.

Currently, his cultivation is still too low; he must cultivate to the Quasi-Saint level before he can go to the Sun Star to retrieve the Eastern Emperor Bell.

"First return to the Outer Starry Sky to discuss the matter of returning to Honghuang with the two Demon Sages."

……

"Great, the Sages have been driven out of Honghuang; the opportunity for my Wu Clan has arrived."

"Go, return to the Witch God Realm first to report the situation to the Ancestral Witch."

The Wu Clan spies lurking in every corner of Honghuang rushed back to the Witch God Realm one after another.

……

At the same time, Quasi-Saints like Minghe Laozu, Zhenyuanzi, and Kunpeng, and even Great Luo Golden Immortals, were all sending messages in their sect groups, encouraging their disciples to proselytize and expand their influence on a large scale.

They all tacitly united to deal with the Four Teachings.

Strictly speaking, the Four Teachings were only large, not particularly strong.

Apart from the Sages, even the Jie Sect only possessed four Great Luo Golden Immortals, and there were not even one hundred Golden Immortals.

But the number of Great Luo Golden Immortals in Honghuang is far more than ten, and there are hundreds, or even thousands, of Golden Immortals.

With everyone united, they were not afraid of the Four Teachings at all.

Even many Golden Immortal ancestors dared to take action against sects of the Four Teachings lineage.

All of a sudden, the Four Teachings became the target of public criticism.

Because of this, Honghuang became even more chaotic.

The Sages being driven out of Honghuang was not the end of the Great Calamity, but the beginning of the Great Calamity.
