Xuanzheng: This is Just a Shell, the Deluxe Renovation is Yet to Come!

Inside Pangu Hall, various divine materials and rare treasures flowed with radiant light, and spiritual energy permeated the air.

Xuanzheng stood with his hands behind his back, surveying the results that the Twelve Ancestral Witches had "crowdfunded" and that he himself had "sniped" and "begged" for along the way.

"Thirteenth Brother, some of the materials are ready. What are Father God's next instructions?" Dijiang's voice came, carrying a hint of anticipation.

Xuanzheng turned, a "pure" smile still on his face. "Elder Brothers, Father God senses that the Primordial World is gradually becoming turbulent. He has specially bestowed a grand array diagram, requiring us to work together to first construct preliminary defenses for Pangu Hall."

He took out the jade slip containing the array diagram, which he had already deduced and optimized countless times using the Script Mirror.

"The Pangu World-Suppression Mysterious Yellow Great Array? It sounds imposing just from the name!" Zhurong leaned closer, flames flickering in his eyes. "How do we do it? Just give the orders, Thirteenth Brother!"

Xuanzheng's inner monologue: It sounds imposing, but it's just a framework right now. Calling it the Pangu World-Suppression Mysterious Yellow Great Array (Construction Scaffolding Version) would be more accurate.

He cleared his throat. "This array is no small matter. It requires the full support of all Elder Brothers to engrave the core runes with your primordial power. Only then can we draw upon a trace of the Buzhou Mountain Dragon Vein Ancestral Source's aura to initially stabilize the hall."

Most of the Ancestral Witches were still stuck at the level of using "primordial power" for fighting each other. Asking them to perform delicate operations to engrave runes made them look at each other blankly.

"Father God's intention is," Xuanzheng added, his tone carrying an unquestionable "divine revelation," "that I will lead. Elder Brothers only need to follow my guidance and inject your primordial power at the appropriate times. This matter concerns the foundation of the Witch Clan, and Father God is watching."

The phrase "Father God is watching" carried immense weight.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches no longer hesitated and all agreed.

Xuanzheng then directed a group of skilled Witch Clan master craftsmen to begin laying out the basic array foundation according to the array diagram.

He himself stood at the core of the array, referencing the original array diagram provided in the Manual, and making real-time adjustments based on the optimal ratio of existing materials deduced by the Script Mirror.

Divine metals were placed at specific nodes, and spiritual roots were planted in the array eyes. The entire Pangu Hall had become a massive construction site.

"Elder Brother Dijiang, please inject spatial primordial power here to stabilize the Eastern Zhen position!" Xuanzheng pointed to an array base.

Dijiang nodded, and a torrent of spatial power surged out, precisely integrating into the designated location.

"Elder Brother Zhurong, the Southern Li position requires your True Fire to temper this Blazing Sun Divine Crystal!"

Zhurong let out a great roar, and his True Fire erupted, causing the divine crystal to emit a brilliant light in the flames.

Construction proceeded in an orderly fashion.

Xuanzheng skillfully integrated the Core Energy Circulation Great Array, which he had reshaped when fixing the Pangu_001 bug, as the energy hub for the new grand array, connecting the circuits.

He mused inwardly, Waste not, want not. Energy-saving and environmentally friendly. Father God will give me a thumbs-up if he knew.

Several days later, the rudimentary form of the grand array had taken shape, with only a few crucial core runes left to be engraved.

When it came time to engrave a core rune related to spatial stability, Xuanzheng chose a piece of Star Divine Iron he had "pilfered" from beside the Grand Unity Essence Gold.

As he guided Dijiang's spatial primordial power, preparing to merge it with the divine iron to engrave the rune--

[Buzz!]

The piece of Star Divine Iron suddenly vibrated violently. A cold, evil aura erupted from it, attempting to corrupt Dijiang's pure spatial primordial power and sabotage the already constructed array nodes around it!

"Not good! This is... the remnant aura of a Chaos Demon God!" Zhujiuyin's expression changed slightly.

The other Ancestral Witches also sensed the extremely uncomfortable power and became vigilant.

Xuanzheng frowned.

This Star Divine Iron actually contained such a problem! The Manual hadn't detected it during the scan. It seemed its ability to detect "built-in" hidden bugs still needed improvement.

Although the trace of Chaos Demon God remnant aura was weak, its essence was extremely high. If it succeeded, not only would this rune be ruined, but the entire grand array might suffer chain damage.

"Thirteenth Brother!" Dijiang said in a deep voice, increasing the output of his spatial power in an attempt to suppress it.

Xuanzheng, however, waved his hand, signaling Dijiang to pause.

His mind raced: Fight it head-on? No, that would easily damage the essence of the divine iron and affect the quality of the array. I need to pull it out and utterly destroy it!

"Elder Brother Dijiang, please use your spatial power to temporarily seal and isolate this divine iron, preventing that damned thing's aura from leaking out and affecting other parts."

Dijiang immediately complied, and an invisible spatial barrier enveloped the Star Divine Iron.

Xuanzheng stepped forward, the Script Mirror on his right hand flashing slightly, having illuminated the weak point of the remnant aura.

The Karma Scale on his left hand revealed its patterns as he mobilized a trace of the True Meaning of Destruction.

This trace of the True Meaning of Destruction originated from Pangu and had a natural restraint against the aura of Chaos Demon Gods.

I was originally planning to keep this as a trump card, but it seems I have to show off a bit today.

Xuanzheng condensed the trace of the True Meaning of Destruction onto his fingertip and, aiming at the weak point revealed by the Script Mirror, fiercely stabbed it into the Star Divine Iron!

[Screech--]

A wisp of black smoke, accompanied by a shrill, invisible howl, emerged from the divine iron. It was precisely the remnant aura of the Chaos Demon God.

The aura transformed into a phantom demonic shadow, baring its fangs and claws, ready to counterattack.

"Still dare to be arrogant?" Xuanzheng snorted coldly.

The True Meaning of Destruction on his fingertip intensified. At the same time, he shouted to Dijiang, "Elder Brother, lend me a hand and use your spatial power to compress it!"

Dijiang understood. The spatial barrier suddenly contracted inwards.

The True Meaning of Destruction acted from within, while the spatial power acted from without. Under the dual assault, the phantom demonic shadow was completely crushed and annihilated before it could even let out a scream, turning into the purest nothingness.

[Ding! Detected a micro 'Historical Bug - Attachment of Demon God's Grudge', which has been actively cleared by the host. Reward: A small amount of Merit, Destruction Law Affinity +0.01%.]

The Manual's prompt tone sounded in Xuanzheng's mind.

"Even mosquito legs are meat, not bad."

What surprised Xuanzheng even more was that the Star Divine Iron, after its impurities were removed, was now crystal clear, and the stellar energy within it was even purer and more condensed.

He quickly guided Dijiang's origin power to complete the inscription of the runes.

The moment the space stabilization rune took shape, its emitted light was even brighter than expected, and its effect increased instead of decreasing!

All the Ancestral Witches watched Xuanzheng's operation, especially his god-like technique of stripping and annihilating the Chaos Demon God's aura, and were all shaken.

Zhurong scratched his head, "Thirteenth Brother, that move you just did... was pretty powerful! More domineering than my fire!"

Xuanzheng still had a "naive" expression, "Father God taught me a few small tricks, specifically to counter these evil ways."

Father God again!

The Ancestral Witches believed this explanation without reservation, and their gazes towards Xuanzheng were filled with even more admiration and conviction.

With this small interlude, the subsequent construction of the array proceeded without any further complications.

Several months later, as the final rune was inscribed, the entire Pangu Hall trembled violently!

[Hum--Boom!]

A faint, mysterious yellow halo spread out like ripples, enveloping the entire Pangu Hall.

A heavy, ancient, and indestructible aura, as if it were integrated with the entire Primordial World, emanated from the depths of the hall, filling every inch of space.

[Pangu World-Suppression Mysterious Yellow Great Array (Incomplete Version)] was preliminarily constructed!

Just then, high above the hall, a small chaotic current surged from an unknown source. Such currents often raged at the boundaries of the Primordial World and occasionally affected the core areas.

In the past, currents of this magnitude were enough to cause Pangu Hall to tremble slightly and disrupt the spiritual energy within.

But this time, the chaotic current slammed into the mysterious yellow halo--

[Pfft!]

Like a mud ox entering the sea, or a gentle breeze brushing a mountain ridge, the chaotic current, capable of tearing apart a Taiyi Golden Immortal, merely caused an imperceptible ripple in the mysterious yellow halo before vanishing into nothingness.

Inside Pangu Hall, it stood as firm as a mountain, completely unmoved!

"This... it blocked it just like that?" Gonggong found it hard to believe.

"Father God's great array is truly powerful!" Rushou exclaimed.

The Witch Clan inside the hall clearly felt that the concentration of spiritual energy within Pangu Hall had increased by at least 30% compared to before, and the space had become more stable and solid.

Cultivating here would yield twice the results with half the effort!

The Twelve Ancestral Witches looked at Xuanzheng with burning eyes.

Xuanzheng felt the solid sense of security brought by the great array and nodded with satisfaction.

Although it was only an incomplete version, and even the exterior walls hadn't started "interior decoration" yet, the foundation and load-bearing walls were in place, which was sufficient to withstand attacks below the Grand Unity Golden Immortal level and most natural disasters.

He thought to himself, "Not bad, not bad, the bare shell is finally up. Next is the interior decoration and exterior beautification project."

Dijiang walked to Xuanzheng's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said solemnly, "Thirteenth Brother, you've worked hard."

Xuanzheng grinned, "Serving the Witch Clan!"
