Haotian pondered for a moment and did not conceal his judgment: "To answer the Great God, the Witch and Demon Clans are both now driven by the ambition of orthodoxy."

"The Demon Race, basing itself on the Heavenly Court and the starry sky, seeks to rule over all the myriad clans of the Primordial Wilderness."

"The Witch Clan, relying on the advantage of their bloodline, wants to reclaim dominance over heaven and earth."

"Neither is willing to yield. If those in power remain unenlightened, in the end it will likely be mutual destruction, wasting the Primordial Wilderness's origin that you opened with the Three Thousand Laws."

"Well said, 'wasting the Primordial Wilderness's origin that I opened with the Three Thousand Laws.'"

The Pangu Phantom nodded lightly, a trace of regret flickering within the Seven-colored Rosy Clouds.

"They are indeed my bloodline—the Witch Clan inherits my essence blood, and the Demon Race's Dijun and Taiyi were born from my left eye, the Sun Star."

"But the myriad clans of the Primordial Wilderness—which one was not born from my flesh, fragments of my Primordial Spirit, and the derivation of these Three Thousand Laws?"

"If I were to favor the Witch Clan, would that not chill the hearts of the other clans? Moreover, this incarnation of mine was able to awaken thanks to you."

Haotian was startled, then quickly understood: "You mean, Great God, when this junior was breaking through to the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin..."

"The Space-Time Heavenly Curtain stirred the Three Thousand Law imprints sleeping within your body, allowing you to awaken?"

"Exactly. Not only the Space-Time Heavenly Curtain, but even more so because of your fate trajectory."

The Pangu Phantom's rosy clouds flickered, and the Three Thousand Law runes lit up simultaneously, as if confirming.

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

"Only you—your trajectory is as hazy as mist, unfathomable even to the Heavenly Dao."

"I saw that your origin is pure, and you cultivate primarily the Laws of Time and Space."

"These are the laws among the Three Thousand Great Daos closest to the Chaos Origin, so I knew you could bear the comprehension of these Three Thousand Laws in the future, with limitless potential."

Having said this, the Pangu Phantom's tone suddenly turned solemn: "That is why I called you here. And it is not to command anything, but to make a request."

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

"After all, this is the Primordial Wilderness that I exhausted myself to open with the Three Thousand Laws."

Haotian's heart trembled. A sense of responsibility surged through his bloodline toward his chest, as if resonating subtly with the Three Thousand Laws within the phantom.

He took a deep breath, and when he raised his head, his gaze was already firm.

"Great God, your words are too heavy. Although this junior is not an original native of the Primordial Wilderness, I have long regarded it as my home."

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

"Good! Good! Good!" The Pangu Phantom spoke three 'good' words in succession, and the Seven-colored Rosy Clouds suddenly blazed bright.

The Three Thousand Law runes around his body simultaneously left him, forming a complete Three Thousand Great Dao rune array in the void.

"I wanted those very words from you! This comprehension of the Three Thousand Laws is the last origin imprint I preserved after opening heaven and earth. Take it."

"These law comprehensions are not for you to forcibly control the Three Thousand Laws."

"Rather, they are for you to take the Laws of Time and Space as your main path and slowly comprehend these. One day, your understanding of the Three Thousand Laws will catch up to mine, or even surpass it."

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

One was a Seven-Colored Halo entwined with the Three Thousand Law runes.

Each rune was clearly discernible, carrying Pangu's understanding and insight into the Three Thousand Great Daos.

The other was two crystal-clear Origin Liquid Beads.

One was golden yellow, the other silver-white, each radiating the aura of Chaos's creation and destruction—precisely the origin power that supported the operation of the Three Thousand Laws.

Haotian dared not be negligent. He raised his hand and summoned the Chaos Yin Yang Diagram. Within the diagram, the Yin Yang Two Qi surged, forming a barrier that steadily caught the two streams of light.

After the golden and silver Origin Liquid Beads fell into the Chaos Yin Yang Diagram, they automatically suspended at the center of the Yin Yang Two Qi.

And they emitted a gentle nourishing force, providing origin support for the comprehension of the Three Thousand Laws.

Meanwhile, the cluster of Seven-Colored Halo entwined with the Three Thousand Law runes slowly drifted toward his brow, sinking into his Sea of Consciousness.

The moment the halo merged into his Sea of Consciousness, Haotian felt a vast torrent of laws instantly sweep through his mind.

Three thousand law runes of different colors and forms exploded like stars, each corresponding to a fundamental law.

Not only concrete laws like the Five Elements, Wind and Thunder, Ice and Lightning.

But also abstract supreme laws like Cause and Effect, Fate, Reincarnation, Space, and Time.

The Earth rune carried the weight of bearing all things, the Fire rune blazed with the intensity of burning away falsehood.

The Cause and Effect rune was entwined with threads that moved the whole with a single tug, while the Reincarnation rune exuded a mysterious cycle of life and death...

The Law runes he primarily cultivated—Time and Space—were the first to stir.

The pale gold Space rune and the pale silver Time rune moved like two dragons, actively entwining toward the other two thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight law runes.

When the Space rune touched the yellow Earth law rune, Haotian instantly understood the connection between the earth's veins and spatial nodes.

It turned out that every earth vein in the Primordial Wilderness ended at a spatial weak point.

If the earth veins were reinforced with Space Law, one could borrow the bearing power of the Earth system to make the spatial barrier more stable.

When the Time rune enveloped the red Fire law rune...

He saw every fragment of time from the flame's ignition to its extinguishment.

He realized that the blazing intensity of fire was essentially the combination of time's flow rate and the release of fire-element burning energy.

When the Time-Space runes intertwined with the Karma runes, he even vaguely touched upon the mystery of how the flow of time and space influenced the threads of karma.

It was as if by altering the time-space at a certain node, he could indirectly nudge the corresponding karma.

In his Sea of Consciousness, the Seven-Colored Halo continuously released Pangu's deep insights into the Three Thousand Laws, and Haotian's mind was completely immersed in it.

He discovered that Pangu's comprehension of the Three Thousand Laws did not make him proficient in all of them at once.

Instead, it taught him the principle that all methods share the same origin, with time and space as the guiding framework.

Time and space are the hubs of the Three Thousand Great Daos, capable of enveloping, deducing, and linking all other laws.

Using time reversal, he could examine the growth trajectory of the Wood Law.

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

Using time-space resonance, he could reconcile the opposition of the 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 grew increasingly pronounced.

The Mysterious Yellow Stone Wall at the core of Buzhou Mountain began to seep crystalline spiritual liquid.

The dormant Earth Vein spiritual energy surged toward him like a tide, forming a Spiritual Energy Vortex a hundred zhang in diameter around him.

At the vortex's periphery, pale green Space Rifts and silvery Time Ripples flickered alternately.

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

This was his subconscious use of 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 the surrounding mountain.

Further away, the rock layers of Buzhou Mountain began to glow faintly, and three thousand Law runes corresponding to the stone wall's patterns drifted out from the rock.

Like pilgrims paying homage, they converged toward Haotian, merging into the Spiritual Energy Vortex around him.

Even the Chaos Airflow high in the sky was drawn by the resonance of the Three Thousand Laws, transforming into pale gray air pillars that fell vertically into the core of Buzhou Mountain, providing Chaos Origin support for Haotian's comprehension.
