Chapter 371: Unification of heaven and earth, gods return to heart! [5k]

Chaos, outside Lady Zi Xiao Palace.

Nothingness is the eternal background color of this place, the concept of time and space is distorted, folded, and even dissolved here.

There is no up, down, left, right, no past, present, or future, only endless Chaos airflow surging, sometimes condensing into indescribable strange shadows, sometimes exploding into billions of fine energy turbulence, emitting dull thunder-like roars, or shrill weeping-like hissing.

Ordinary immortals who reach here will be assimilated in an instant, their souls dissolved, their Dao bodies collapsed, and they will become a part of Chaos.

A goddess in a simple and elegant palace dress stood quietly not far from the palace.

Meng Meng Wu You was staring at the plaque somewhat distractedly, a trace of indescribable strange look flashing in her clear, autumn-water-like eyes.

"Lady Zi Xiao Palace..." She whispered to herself, her voice sounding particularly clear in this Chaos, but also carrying a trace of dreamy and ethereal feeling.

"Xiang Xuanqing, this guy, deliberately used my name, is he trying to weave an eternal big dream for the Dao Ancestor?"

Meng Meng Wu You moved her lotus steps, silently penetrating the layers of invisible restrictions outside Lady Zi Xiao Palace.

These restrictions seemed not to exist for her.

She pushed open the Lady Zi Xiao Palace gate, which was heavy as if carrying the weight of an era.

"Creak—"

Accompanied by a long and slightly dry sound, the palace gate opened wide.

In an instant, a majestic and vast, but forcibly constrained terrifying pressure rushed towards her.

Meng Meng Wu You just flicked her sleeves lightly, and the pressure disappeared like spring snow meeting the sun.

The scene inside the palace instantly reflected in her eyes.

I saw a nine-fold cloud platform standing majestically in the center of the hall.

On the cloud platform, a Daoist with immortal style and bones, wearing a black robe and tied hair, sat cross-legged.

Beside the Daoist, three towering figures were surrounding him, which were the Three Pure Ones Heavenly Venerables.

They either held Dao maps, or held jade ruyi, or carried ancient swords, each occupying one side, with Great Dao runes flowing around their bodies, chanting ancient and mysterious Dao sounds in their mouths.

Each strand of Dao sound seemed to contain the power of opening the heavens, turning into substantive order chains, layered and layered, winding around Dao Ancestor Hongjun, firmly imprisoning him on the cloud platform.

"Dao Ancestor, stop tossing, merge with the Dao!"

"From now on, you are the master of the Heavenly Dao!"

"Pangu transformed the Primordial, Heavenly Dao is above, that is Pangu's brain, Pangu's will, you are now advancing towards Hunyuan Wuji, moving towards the True Pangu!"

"The Great Dao faces the sky, don't retreat!"

"Forward, forward!"

Each sentence of the Three Pure Ones Heavenly Venerables was like a morning bell and evening drum, containing the principles of the Great Dao, constantly impacting Hongjun's mind.

And beside the Three Pure Ones Heavenly Venerables, there were more ethereal and hazy spiritual lights shining.

These spiritual lights were not physical, but god positions projected from the 【Great Dao Dao Dao Zhen Jing】.

The phantoms of the gods of the positions appeared and disappeared, they had different forms, some had three heads and six arms, some had green faces and fangs, some were solemn, some were murderous.

Most of their faces were blurred, their facial contours seemed to be shrouded in mist, only those pairs of eyes were clear, each flashing with wisdom, compassion, majesty, or cold light.

Under the guidance and blessing of the Three Pure Ones Heavenly Venerables' Great Dao sounds, the light in their eyes became more and more intense and bright.

They assisted the three supreme gods to suppress Hongjun.

Seeing Meng Meng Wu You walking in, those god position phantoms who were originally focused on suppressing Hongjun actually turned their heads slightly at the same time, bowing towards her from afar, which was considered a greeting.

"Tianzhen Great God, Shangsheng Gaozun, Miaoxing Zhenren..." Meng Meng Wu You looked at these familiar yet somewhat strange position phantoms, reciting their titles like counting family treasures.

A nostalgic smile appeared on her lips.

Thinking back then, the three giants of the Netherworld studied and deduced this 【Great Dao Dao Dao Zhen Jing】 together, and in order to perfect the structure of the true realm, they excitedly created many strange and powerful positions.

At that time, Wangchuan imagined that one day, this 【Great Dao Dao Dao Zhen Jing】 could truly turn virtual into reality, and the infinite god positions in it could turn into real and powerful gods, following them to conquer the heavens and worlds and create supreme hegemony.

Who could have thought that time has changed, and the original jokes and fantasies have now been realized to some extent.

These gods born from concepts and deductions really participated in the top-level game of the Primordial in a special way.

Although, they were not here to conquer the heavens at this moment, but to join forces with the three supreme gods of the Primordial to suppress the former ancestor of the immortal Dao—Hongjun.

"The karmic connections within this are truly... beyond words." Meng Wu You felt a thousand emotions in his heart, yet the smile on his face grew increasingly radiant.

She no longer watched, her figure flickered, and she merged into those god position phantoms.

The next moment, the simple palace dress on her body moved without wind, and her aura changed suddenly.

Boom—

A pure and extreme dream power erupted!

A huge, blood-red other shore flower, fresh and dripping, bloomed quietly behind her, the petals layered and layered, weird and peerless.

As the petals unfolded, the rich crimson mist spread rapidly, like a living tide, instantly covering the entire Lady Zi Xiao Palace.

In this crimson mist, the three thousand dream laws began to evolve and spread crazily.

Meng Meng Wu You used her wild imagination as a pen and dream power as ink, and began to outline and shape specific images for those god position phantoms.

The originally blurred faces, under the injection of dream power, began to become clear and vivid.

Some gods were given the appearance of kind-eyed elders, some turned into fierce war gods, some wore star robes, some held commandment artifacts... every image was lifelike, as if it should have been so.

These god phantoms given clear images were exactly three thousand in number, matching the mystery of the Great Dao.

Under the blessing of dream power, the aura of the three thousand gods soared, and they seemed to have taken a step out of the concept of virtual positions, becoming more solid.

They walked down slowly from the void, each finding a node in Lady Zi Xiao Palace and sitting cross-legged.

In an instant, the sealing power of the entire palace was strengthened again, solid as if even time could not erode it.

Hongjun Dao Ancestor's originally tightly frowned brows actually gradually smoothed out, and his expression became natural.

"Meng Wu You came at the right time!" Among the three thousand gods, one god phantom suddenly shook slightly, and the demon king's black clothes actually changed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into a shocking blood-red robe.

His face also became completely clear, and he was a young man with a handsome and evil face, but his eyes carried a bit of playfulness and vicissitudes.

The blood-clothed youth stretched, and his joints made a series of crisp sounds, as if he had just woken up from a long sleep.

He turned his head, his gaze accurately falling on Meng Meng Wu You, revealing a brilliant smile, which, combined with his blood clothes, seemed particularly weird.

"Thank you Dao friend for taking action in time, reshaping my Dao form with dream power, and pulling me!"

"If not for this, I would have to wait for some more time if I wanted to wake up completely from this position!"

This god is naturally the resurrected Ming He.

Besides being particularly unlucky, Ming He also has a very strong ability, particularly able to live.

Plus the 【Great Dao Dao Dao Zhen Jing】 is mysterious and infinite, and a very important function is—fishing people!

As long as there is a position in the true realm, even if the form and spirit are destroyed, there is a glimmer of life, which can use the power of the true realm to re-gather the true spirit and reshape the Dao body.

Therefore, it is really quite difficult for Ming He to "die" completely.

"This time, borrowing Hong-Pangu's hand, Dao friend realized life from death and has already walked through the Tai Shi path, right?" Meng Meng Wu You's tone was almost certain.

"That is natural!" Ming He was radiant, laughing particularly happily, obviously in a great mood.

As the master of the killing Dao who is independent, he never fears death.

Every death, for him, may be a Nirvana, a brand new beginning.

As long as it dies with value and in its place, that is the greatest harvest!

After being happy for a while, the smile on Ming He's face gradually converged, and his gaze turned to the vicinity of the high platform, looking at the three Three Pure Ones Heavenly Venerables whose aura was as deep as the sea and almost merged with the entire Chaos void.

He curled his lips and said bluntly: "However, my little achievement, compared to the three of them... tsk tsk, it's still far behind!"

"These three guys are the real perverts!"

"Hong-Pangu, Luo-Pangu, Ancestral Witch Pangu, all were defeated in their hands."

"The position of Pangu orthodox is considered solid."

"In the future Primordial, and even the heavens and worlds, who dares to talk about 'orthodox' in front of them? Hey, just thinking about it makes me... excited!"

Speaking of this, while Ming He was schadenfreude, he also had a toothache.

When Xiang Xuanqing and others beat Ancestral Witch Pangu, they really didn't save face!

Meng Meng Wu You heard this, a sweet smile appeared on her face, and she encouraged Ming He: "Then Dao friend must work hard, strive to also transform into a killing Dao Pangu, and then compete with them!"

"Compete with them?"

Ming He shook his head repeatedly: "Meng Wu You, don't harm me!"

Xiang Xuanqing won't mention it.

Taishang, since condensing the 【Daode Tianzun】 position, his moral level has dropped sharply.

You talk about morality with Heavenly Venerable?

You have no morality!

And Daoist Yuchen, this is already one of the few consciences among the Primordial gods.

But if you force the conscience-less side of Daoist out, Daoist doesn't mind telling you what is called Tongtian Demon Lord!

"Dao friend, it's already face-to-face, so stop slandering."

Taishang opened his eyes leisurely and looked at Ming He with a smile.

"Do I have it? No! It must be Hongjun who has resentment." Ming He's expression was natural, and he recited "Pangu Great God" in his heart, skillfully turned on the shielding method, and threw a pot to Hongjun.

Meng Meng Wu You asked Xiang Xuanqing: "Has Hongjun merged with the Dao?"

She pointed to Hongjun who was motionless on the cloud platform, whose aura stabilized and seemed to have fallen into a state of harmony between man and nature.

Xiang Xuanqing shook his head: "Dao Ancestor wants to merge with the Dao, it's not a matter of one morning and one evening."

"This requires the help of the gods, and then after the Dao Ancestor resigns three times and thanks everyone, it

"Assistance, resignation, and gratitude?" Ming He looked at the immobilized and stunned Hong Jun; could he really complete this process in such a state?

It was Yu Chen Daojun who was practical, revealing the truth: "Dao Ancestor Hong Jun possesses extraordinary strength and has a very strong resistance to our seal."

"Coupled with the many uncertainties regarding the effects of the Hunyuan Pill, to be safe, it is necessary for all the gods to gather at Zi Xiao Palace for three large-scale sealing rituals before we can 'invite' the Dao Ancestor to merge with the Dao."

"During this period, Xuanqing's Tai Chu Yi Qi incarnation will act in the Dao Ancestor's stead, upholding the great task of education and preaching the Great Dao to reward the gods for their help."

"So that's how it is." Wu You and Ming He suddenly realized.

Xuanqing said: "Alright, the current stage of sealing is sufficient; we can return to the Primordial now."

"Let's go!"

Tai Shang stepped down from the cloud platform and laughed: "The immortals and sages of the Dao Alliance must be overjoyed right now."

"Then let them enjoy it a little longer."

Yu Chen Daojun said: "What do you think about us returning directly in our Sanqing identities?"

"Fine by me!" Tai Shang expressed no objection. "What about the Dao Ancestor?" Ming He asked.

"The Dao Ancestor, naturally, is 'Reclining on the Ninth Heaven's clouds, on a rush mat, realizing the Dao's truth'!"

Xuanqing cast his gaze toward the Primordial land, a smile appearing on his face.

"If we go down there, I wonder how many gods will be scared to death."

On the Primordial land, countless divine beings and mighty figures held their breath, staring intently at the edge of that chaos, craning their necks in anticipation, waiting for the final result to descend.

At this moment, the atmosphere between heaven and earth was tense to the extreme, like a taut bowstring that might snap completely at the slightest disturbance, triggering a cataclysmic chain reaction.

The gods belonging to the Weiyuan Society were even more on edge, feeling incredibly nervous.

The victory or defeat of the Taiwei Heavenly Emperor was directly related to the future and survival of their entire divine path.

"Your Majesty... will surely return in triumph!" the burly Tian Peng Zhen Jun muttered to himself, his tone carrying a trace of imperceptible trembling.

"The Heavenly Emperor possesses peerless divine powers and calculates without omission; what is a mere Hong Jun to him?" Bai Ze, transformed into a Star God, felt conflicted but forced himself to sound calm as he echoed the sentiment.

As a divine lord of the Metal Qilin clan, he hoped for the Dao Alliance to win.

But having experienced everything in Taiwei, he did not want the Heavenly Emperor to truly be defeated.

The immortals and sages of the Dao Alliance, however, were full of spirit.

"The Master Mo Zu has already fallen; can the Heavenly Emperor be far behind?" Some immortals looked toward the nine heavens, provoking the Star Gods.

"Exactly! The Great Dao is clear; how can rebellious thieves be allowed to run rampant? The Dao Ancestor is the destination of Heaven's mandate, acting on behalf of Heaven to execute the Dao; the Weiyuan Society acts against Heaven, and their destruction is imminent!" another immortal echoed.

"Hmph! A bunch of clowns, daring to wag your tongues here!"

Above the nine heavens, a Huo De Xing Jun could no longer restrain himself and sternly rebuked, "Stop your gloating!"

"When His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor returns in triumph, he will surely exterminate all of you rebellious subjects to restore the order of the universe!"

"Exterminate us? Hahaha, what a huge joke!"

The immortals below, upon hearing this, felt not the slightest fear; instead, they erupted into even louder mocking laughter.

"Relying on your Zhou Tian Xing Dou Array? It's nothing but a spent force!"

"If your Heavenly Emperor has truly been defeated, we would like to see what capabilities you remnants have left."

The Star Gods were enraged upon hearing this, the starlight around them surging, filled with killing intent.

The Star Gods had long since regrouped the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Array; if the Heavenly Emperor were defeated, they would fight to the death—in any case, they would not let the Dao Alliance have it easy.

And on the ground, those remaining Dao Alliance forces were not just making verbal threats.

They were also preparing various trump cards; countless runes shimmered between heaven and earth, spiritual energy gathered, sword Qi soared into the sky, all standing in strict battle formation.

They were just waiting for the final result in the chaos to settle before launching a thunderous offensive.

"They're back! They're back!"

Someone, using all their strength, let out a roar filled with extreme excitement and trembling.

This shout, like a giant boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly shattered the suffocating silence of the Primordial land, stirring up ten thousand layers of waves!

In an instant, all the divine beings and mighty figures between heaven and earth, and even some beings with lower cultivation who were watching the event, suddenly raised their heads, fixing their gazes firmly on the void where the chaos and the Primordial met.

Their divine senses were highly concentrated at this moment, not daring to miss even the slightest movement.

They saw that the originally surging, chaotic, and disordered chaotic airflow was suddenly pushed aside as if by an invisible giant hand, revealing a relatively stable passage.

Immediately following, several figures, bathed in the residual destructive lightning and creative rosy light of the chaos, slowly walked out step by step from that heart-palpitating nothingness.

Their figures initially appeared somewhat blurry, as if separated by a thin veil of space-time.

But as they drew closer, their unique and powerful aura, along with the images already deeply imprinted in the souls of all Primordial beings, began to become clear.

"It's... it's the Heavenly Venerables! It's the three Heavenly Venerables!"

The first to recognize their identities were the immortals of the Dao Alliance.

"It really is the three Heavenly Venerables!"

"The three Heavenly Venerables have returned!"

Cheers like a mountain collapsing and a sea roaring resounded through heaven and earth!

"The Heavenly Venerables are back! We won! We won!"

"Hahaha! Great, the overall situation is settled!"

"I knew it! The Dao Ancestor's divine powers are boundless; how could that Taiwei brat be a match for him!"

Countless immortals were moved to tears, dancing with joy, and embracing each other in celebration.

Although they did not understand why it was the three Heavenly Venerables who returned first, rather than the Dao Ancestor Hong Jun himself.

But in their simple understanding, since the Sanqing Heavenly Venerables had returned safely, and their enemy—the Taiwei Heavenly Emperor—was nowhere to be seen, the result was self-evident!

Didn't this clearly indicate that their Immortal Dao side had achieved the final victory?!

What could prove their side's victory better than the disappearance of the enemy?

The immortals laughed toward the sky: "Taiwei, hurry down and surrender!"

"If not, we will have to storm the nine heavens!"

The mighty figures of the three Primordial clans saw the Sanqing, their expressions varying.

The last seven or eight divine lords of the Metal Qilin clan held the corpse of the Ancestral Metal Qilin, crying and laughing: "Ancestral Founder, do you see? We won!"

【Yinghuo Shangzun】 Yuan Huang and 【Chenxing Shangzun】 Zu Long exchanged a glance and made a decisive decision.

"I, Zu Long, head of all scaly creatures under heaven, voluntarily merge with the Dao to guard the Primordial East Sea. The Dragon clan withdraws from the Primordial world; from this day forth, we shall govern the rivers, lakes, and seas of the Primordial, possessing the ability to summon clouds and rain, bringing blessings to the world. We shall be auspicious beasts of heaven and earth, not to emerge lightly unless during a Great Immeasurable Calamity, and the beings of the Primordial shall not kill us lightly."

Just as Yuan Huang was about to step forward, Yuan Feng took a step ahead.

"I, Yuan Feng, leader of all winged creatures under heaven, voluntarily merge with the Dao to guard the Undying Volcano of the South. The Phoenix clan withdraws from the Primordial world, the entire clan guarding the South, to be auspicious beasts of the world, not to emerge lightly unless during a Great Immeasurable Calamity, and the beings of the Primordial shall not kill us lightly."

The decisiveness of the two clans instantly shocked all the gods of heaven and earth.

Subsequently, the various avatars in the Taiwei camp either self-destructed or simply ran away.

That the Heavenly Emperor had actually lost was something they never expected!

"That can be considered wise!" the immortals of the Dao Alliance laughed.

Immediately after, they could no longer laugh.

Because following the Sanqing Heavenly Venerables, another figure walked out, standing like a mountain and deep like an abyss—the Taiwei Heavenly Emperor!

"Today, heaven and earth are unified under Taiwei; who does not submit?"

Once these words were spoken, heaven and earth were shocked.

"Taiwei won?!"

And the next scene proved this point.

They saw in the void, the Sanqing Heavenly Venerables bowing to the Taiwei Heavenly Emperor: "Greetings, Heavenly Emperor!"

"We are willing to join the immortals of the Dao Alliance to govern the Primordial together with the Heavenly Emperor!"

The immortals of the Dao Alliance were dumbfounded.

Smiles do not disappear; they only shift.

The immortals stopped laughing, but the gods of Taiwei blossomed with joy.

"The old Daoist really lost?" Yang Mei sighed slightly in his heart.

He felt that he was much calmer than he had anticipated.

"Governing the Primordial together?"

On the battlefield, the aura of the Xiao Qian Kun Immortal fluctuated, and he looked at the fallen Ancestral Metal Qilin and the Shen Cang Demon God not far away, smiling:

"I, Ancestral Metal Qilin, ancestor of the auspiciousness of heaven and earth, am willing to sacrifice my body to guard the ley lines of the Primordial land."

"My Metal Qilin clan shall avoid the world at the Metal Qilin Holy Cliff, voluntarily withdrawing from the struggles of the Primordial world, not to emerge lightly unless during a Great Immeasurable Calamity. All of the Metal Qilin lineage shall be auspicious beasts of heaven and earth; wherever we go, auspiciousness shall naturally arise, and we shall not be slaughtered!"

As the words fell, the figures of Xiao Qian Kun, Shen Cang, and the Ancestral Metal Qilin dissipated into heaven and earth, merging with the Dao together.

"Granted!"

Xuanqing spoke, and the Heavenly Dao verified it.

Xuanhuang merit lingered around Xiao Qian Kun, not dispersing for a long time.

Only then did the gods of heaven and earth truly believe that Taiwei had won!

"We pay our respects to the Heavenly Emperor!" The many immortals of the Celestial Immortal lineage were the first to react.

"We pay our respects to the Heavenly Emperor!"

The Earth Immortal lineage, Human Immortal lineage, Divine Immortal lineage, and Ghost Immortal lineage simultaneously defected.

The Dao Alliance side was completely stunned.

"I'm sorry, two fellow Daoists!"

At this moment, the ancestor of the Golden Immortals, Jie Yin, looked at Yao Chi and Daoist Daoist Kunpeng, saying with an apologetic face: "Actually, I am an undercover agent!"

"Cough, cough~~"

The master of the Ten Directions Divine Palace, Fu Xi, also walked out.

Yao Chi looked shocked: "Fellow Daoist, you too?"

This was an Eastern loose cultivator she had personally recruited!

"Yes!"

Fu Xi and Jie Yin came out together, leading their subordinates to bow to Xuanqing from afar: "We pay our respects to the Heavenly Emperor!"

Yao Chi turned her head to look at Daoist Daoist Kunpeng: "Fellow Daoist, you wouldn't happen to be an undercover agent too, would you?"

Daoist Daoist Kunpeng shook his head: "My loyalty to the Dao Ancestor is witnessed by heaven and earth!"

"That's good!" Yao Chi breathed a sigh of relief, then directly stuffed the Immortal Emperor's Seal into Daoist Daoist Kunpeng's arms.

"The Dao Alliance will depend on you from now on."

Daoist Daoist Kunpeng: "???"

Facing Daoist Daoist Kunpeng's puzzled gaze, Yao Chi said with a heavy heart: "Actually, I am an undercover agent too."

Daoist Daoist Kunpeng was dumbstruck.

Subsequently, Yao Chi took the True Immortal lineage and defected to Taiwei.

As a member of the Heavenly Emperor's support group, a part of the spiritual root family, and a veteran of the Sen Luo Palace, 【Lady San Hua】 declared: All divine powers under heaven belong to Taiwei.

Who wouldn't leave a way out for themselves!

At this moment, Yao Chi truly felt that her decision to replace her own spiritual root's account was so wise!

Daoist Daoist Kunpeng held the Immortal Emperor's Seal, standing blankly on the spot, muttering to himself:

"So among all the many lineages, am I the only loyal subject?"

Looking at the gods filling the sky and the defecting immortals, Daoist Daoist Kunpeng thought to himself: Actually, I can love Taiwei too!
