Haotian pondered for a moment and did not conceal his judgment. "In reply to you, Great God, the Witch-Demon Two Clans have both been swept up by their ambitions for orthodoxy."

"The Demon Clan bases itself in the Heavenly Court and the starry sky, seeking to rule over all races of the Primordial Wilderness."

"Relying on the advantage of their bloodline, the Witch Clan wishes to reclaim dominion over heaven and earth."

"Neither side is willing to yield. If those in power never awaken to this, they will likely end up mutually destroying each other, merely wasting the Primordial Wilderness Origin you created with the Three Thousand Laws."

"Well said—'merely wasting the Primordial Wilderness Origin I created with the Three Thousand Laws.'"

The Pangu Phantom nodded gently, and a trace of regret flashed through the Seven-colored Rosy Clouds.

"They are indeed my bloodline. The Witch Clan inherited my blood essence, while Dijun and Taiyi of the Demon Clan were born from my left eye, the Sun Star."

"But among all the races of the Primordial Wilderness, which one did not arise from my flesh, fragments of my primordial spirit, and the evolution of these Three Thousand Laws?"

"If I favored the Witch Clan, would I not chill the hearts of the other races? Besides, this incarnation of mine was only able to awaken thanks to you."

Haotian was stunned for a moment before understanding. "Great God, are you saying that when this junior was breaking through to the Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm—"

"—the Space-Time Heavenly Curtain stirred the Three Thousand Law imprints sleeping within your body and allowed you to awaken?"

"Precisely. It was not only the Space-Time Heavenly Curtain, but even more so your destiny."

The rosy clouds around the Pangu Phantom flickered, and three thousand Law runes lit up at once, as though confirming his words.

"The destinies of all living beings in the Primordial Wilderness flow within the River of Time of the Heavenly Dao."

"Only yours is blurred like mist. Even the Heavenly Dao cannot calculate it."

"I saw that your Origin was pure and that you cultivated the laws of time and space as your main path."

"These are the laws closest to Chaos Origin among the Three Thousand Great Daos. I knew then that you would one day be able to bear these Three Thousand Law Comprehensions, and your achievements would be immeasurable."

At this point, the Pangu Phantom's tone suddenly became solemn. "That is why I summoned you here. And it is not to give you orders, but to make a request."

"When you truly grow strong in the future and can transcend the restraints of the Heavenly Dao, could you protect the Primordial Wilderness a little more?"

"After all, this is the Primordial Wilderness I exhausted all my strength to create with the Three Thousand Laws."

Haotian's heart trembled. A sense of responsibility surged along his bloodline and into his chest, as though it had formed a subtle resonance with the Three Thousand Laws within the phantom.

He took a deep breath. When he raised his head again, his gaze was utterly resolute.

"You overstate it, Great God. Though this junior is not a native being of the Primordial Wilderness, I have long regarded it as my home."

"Even without your request, this junior would never stand by and watch the world you created with the Three Thousand Laws be destroyed."

"Good! Good! Good!" The Pangu Phantom spoke the word three times in succession, and the Seven-colored Rosy Clouds suddenly brightened.

The three thousand Law runes around him simultaneously left his body, forming a complete Three Thousand Great Daos rune formation in the void.

"This is exactly what I wanted to hear! These Three Thousand Law Comprehensions are the final Origin Mark I retained after creating heaven and earth. Take them."

"These Law Comprehensions are not meant for you to forcibly control the Three Thousand Laws."

"Rather, you are to use the Time-Space Law as your foundation and gradually comprehend them. One day, your understanding of the Three Thousand Laws will catch up to mine, perhaps even surpass it."

Before his words had faded, the Pangu Phantom suddenly transformed into two streams of light.

One was a Seven-Colored Halo entwined with three thousand Law runes.

Every rune was clearly visible, carrying Pangu's understanding and comprehension of the Three Thousand Great Daos.

The other was two crystalline Origin Liquid Beads.

One was golden, the other silver-white. They respectively radiated the aura of Chaos's birth and destruction—the Origin power supporting the operation of the Three Thousand Laws.

Haotian did not dare be careless. Raising his hand, he summoned the Chaos Yin Yang Diagram. The Yin Yang Two Qi within it surged forth and transformed into a barrier that steadily caught the two streams of light.

After the golden and silver-white Origin Liquid Beads entered the Chaos Yin Yang Diagram, they automatically floated at the center of the Yin Yang Two Qi.

They then released a gentle nourishing force, providing Origin support for the Three Thousand Law Comprehensions.

Meanwhile, the Seven-Colored Halo entwined with the three thousand Law runes slowly drifted toward his brow and entered his sea of consciousness.

The instant the halo merged into his sea of consciousness, Haotian felt a vast torrent of laws sweep through his mind.

Three thousand Law runes of different colors and forms burst forth like stars. Each one corresponded to an Origin law.

There were not only tangible laws such as the five elements, wind, thunder, Ice and Lightning.

There were also abstract supreme laws such as causality, fate, reincarnation, space, and time.

The earth-element runes carried the heaviness of bearing all things, while the fire-element runes blazed with the scorching heat of burning away all illusion.

The causality runes wound around threads where moving one strand affected the whole, while the Reincarnation Runes carried the mystery of the cycle of life and death...

The Time-Space Law runes he mainly cultivated were the first to stir.

The pale gold Space Runes and light silver time runes moved like two wandering dragons, actively winding around the other two thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight Law runes.

When the Space Runes touched the yellow earth-element Law runes, Haotian instantly understood the connection between the earth's veins and spatial nodes.

It turned out that the end of every Earth Vein in the Primordial Wilderness corresponded to a spatial weak point.

If the Earth Veins were reinforced with the Space Law, one could borrow the earth element's bearing power to make the spatial barrier more stable.

When the time runes wrapped around the crimson fire-element Law runes—

—he saw every moment of a flame's existence, from ignition to extinction.

He comprehended that the fierceness of flames was fundamentally the union of time's flow rate and the release of fire-element burning energy.

When the time-space runes jointly entwined the causality runes, he even faintly touched upon the mystery of time-space flow influencing Causal Threads.

It was as though altering the time and space at a certain node could indirectly stir the corresponding causality.

Within his sea of consciousness, the Seven-Colored Halo continuously released Pangu's profound comprehension of the Three Thousand Laws, and Haotian's mind became completely immersed in it.

He discovered that Pangu's Three Thousand Law Comprehensions were not meant to make him master every law at once.

Instead, they taught him the principle that all laws shared the same origin, with time and space as their framework.

Time and space were the hubs of the Three Thousand Great Daos, capable of encompassing, deducing, and linking every other law.

Using Time Reversal, he could examine the growth trajectory of the Wood Law.

Using spatial folding, he could compress the sharp power of the Metal Element Law.

Using time-space resonance, he could reconcile the opposition between water and fire laws, allowing the Three Thousand Laws to find balance and common ground within the framework of time and space.

As his comprehension deepened, the phenomena around Haotian became increasingly apparent.

The Mysterious Yellow Stone Wall at the core of Buzhou Mountain began to seep with crystalline Spiritual Liquid.

The once-silent Earth Vein spiritual energy surged toward him like a tide, forming a Spiritual Energy Vortex one hundred zhang wide around him.

At the vortex's outer edge, light cyan Space Rifts and light silver Time Ripples flashed alternately.

Three thousand tiny Law runes circled the edge of the vortex, yet they were wrapped within an invisible time-space barrier.

Unconsciously, he was using the Time-Space Law to protect the foundation of the Pillar of the Great Desolation, preventing the fluctuations of the Three Thousand Laws from harming Zhou Mountain.

Farther away, the rock layers of Zhou Mountain began to glow faintly, and three thousand Law runes corresponding to the patterns on the stone wall floated out from the rocks.

Like worshippers on pilgrimage, they gathered toward Haotian and merged into the Spiritual Energy Vortex around him.

Even the Chaos Airflow high above was drawn in by the resonance of the Three Thousand Laws.

It transformed into streams of light gray air that fell vertically into the core of Zhou Mountain, providing Chaos Origin support for Haotian's comprehension.
