The Pangu Hall was initially completed, its mysterious yellow aura contained, and an unprecedented sense of stability enveloped all the Witch Clan members.

Xuanzheng was savoring the sense of accomplishment from the completion of this "bare shell" building when the screen of the [Primordial World Bug Fixing Manual] appeared in his mind.

[Ding! The Pangu Hall's initial defense system, 'Pangu World-Suppression Mysterious Yellow Great Array (Incomplete Version),' has been constructed. Host has received 100,000 Heavenly Dao Merit, and the manual's basic permissions have been upgraded.]

"Oh? It comes with an upgrade too?" Xuanzheng's lips curved into a satisfied arc. Just as he was about to study the new functions and continue his "interior decoration" project, [Alert! Alert! S-class core structural vulnerability detected!]

A sharp siren blared without warning! The gentle golden light screen was instantly stained with blood, and every character struck deep into his consciousness with apocalyptic pressure!

The smile on Xuanzheng's face froze instantly. A chill shot up from the base of his spine to the crown of his head. He even had a fleeting illusion—the solid Pangu Hall beneath his feet, and indeed the entire Buzhou Mountain, was trembling slightly.

This was no longer a matter of leaky pipes or faulty wiring; this was the load-bearing wall about to collapse! The load-bearing wall of the entire Primordial World!

He suppressed the tremor in his heart and continued reading.

[Vulnerability ID: BZ_001]

[Vulnerability Description: Buzhou Mountain was formed from Pangu's spine and serves as the pillar of the Primordial World. However, due to the immense pressure borne during the world's creation and the subsequent disturbances from Calamities like the Dragon-Han and Dao-Demon conflicts, countless micro-cracks have long existed within the mountain. As the world evolved, the imbalance between the rising turbid qi and descending clear qi caused these cracks to expand slowly.]

[Warning: It is predicted that during a critical juncture of a future Calamity (such as the climax of the Witch-Demon Decisive Battle), Buzhou Mountain will collapse due to excessive internal and external pressure, leading to the sky tilting northwest, the earth sinking southeast, raging floods, widespread suffering, and a devastating blow to the Primordial World!]

[Repair Solution (Extremely Complex): Mobilize the entire power of the Witch Clan. Use supreme might to comb the earth veins of Buzhou Mountain, gather materials such as Nine Heavens Mysterious Yellow Mother Qi and Immeasurable Geng Gold Divine Iron, supplement with Innate Five Elements Essence, recast the weak points of the mountain, and establish the 'Sky-Supporting Mountain-Suppressing Pangu Great Array' with the 'Buzhou Mountain Dragon Vein Ancestral Source' as the core to completely stabilize the celestial pillar.]

Mobilize the entire Witch Clan? And gather divine materials that sound terrifying just from their names? This project's scale was ten thousand times greater than upgrading the Pangu Hall!

However, when his gaze fell upon the rewards section, his breath hitched.

[Estimated Rewards:]

[1. Heavenly Dao Core Contribution Award: Sky-Supporting Mystic Tortoise Limbs (Advance payment, perfect quality, containing infinite creation vitality and earth-bearing power, usable for artifact refining, creation of life, or as a super array core).]

[2. Pangu's World-Opening Legacy: A massive amount of pure World-Opening Merit (enough to allow several early-stage Quasi-Saints to advance one minor realm without bottlenecks).]

[3. Overall Witch Clan Destiny Advancement: Witch Clan Destiny takes form, solidifies substance, significantly increasing clan members' cultivation speed, comprehension, and the chance of ancestral bloodline reversion.]

[4. Manual Permissions Greatly Increased: Unlock the 'Bug Fix Solution Custom Advanced Editing' and 'Karma/Fate Dual Law Linked Operation' modules.]

Sky-Supporting Mystic Tortoise Limbs... advance payment?!

Xuanzheng's Adam's apple bobbed uncontrollably. A vague image flashed through his mind: four colossal divine pillars supporting the heavens, suppressing the chaos of earth, water, fire, and wind, propping up a brand new universe! These were top-tier materials that even Nuwa would have to beg and plead for in the future to gather. Yet, Heavenly Dao was directly shipping them, and as an advance payment!

Had Heavenly Dao panicked? Was this BUG so severe that it was willing to pay such a hefty price in advance?

This wasn't just fixing a BUG; this was Heavenly Dao putting out a bounty for a savior!

His heart began to race, but what truly shook his spirit was a note that followed closely behind.

[Special Note: Successfully repairing this BUG will not only prevent the collapse of the celestial pillar but also transform the original script's 'Gonggong Angrily Collides with Buzhou Mountain,' a key turning point in the Witch Clan's decline, from a 'disaster' into a 'manifestation of Pangu's Spirit' and a 'great feat of the Witch Clan protecting the heavens,' thereby reversing some of the Witch Clan's unfavorable destiny.]

Xuanzheng clenched his fists fiercely.

Gonggong Angrily Collides with Buzhou Mountain...

This was the symbolic event marking the Witch Clan's decline from prosperity. Now, the manual told him, this dead end could be revived!

Not only could it be revived, but a thoroughly tragic event could be directed into a glorious spectacle for the Witch Clan!

Disaster turned into achievement, sinners into heroes!

This was more than killing several birds with one stone; this was flipping the entire chessboard and starting anew!

Massive merit, heaven-defying materials, a leap in the Witch Clan's destiny, and an opportunity to fundamentally change the Witch Clan's tragic fate!

Immense joy surged through his mind, but he quickly forced himself to calm down. After the ecstasy came the mountain-like weight of reality.

The more generous the reward, the more terrifying the difficulty.

"Mobilize the entire power of the Witch Clan," these seven words weighed as much as a mountain.

His twelve elder brothers, each with their own temperaments. Zhurong, with his fiery temper, would probably be jumping with excitement at the mere mention of such a massive undertaking. But Gonggong? Ask him to reinforce the mountain he was destined to collide with?

No, he absolutely couldn't hold another "crowdfunding meeting"!

The previous crowdfunding for Pangu Hall materials was successful because they could leverage the "Father God's Dream" excuse. This current project was so grand that even the phrase "Father God's Dream" might not be enough to suppress it.

If it were brought up at a meeting, someone like Zhurong or Gonggong would likely flip the table on the spot.

This matter had to be pushed from the top down!

His gaze pierced through the layers of halls, landing on the deepest part of Pangu Hall.

Elder Brother Dijiang, Elder Brother Zhujiuyin. One controlled space and possessed foresight, serving as the leader of the Witch Clan; the other controlled time, profound and reserved, acting as the clan's strategist. Within the entire Witch Clan, only these two could possibly comprehend the true weight behind this disaster and opportunity, a weight capable of overturning the structure of the Primordial World!

He had to convince them first!

He suppressed all outward emotions. The face that habitually wore a "simple" smile now held only determination.

He turned abruptly and strode through the newly completed, spirit-energy-rich hall, heading directly for the deepest part of Pangu Hall.

Dijiang and Zhujiuyin were experiencing the changes brought about by the great array, their faces showing satisfaction.

"Thirteenth Brother, this array..." Dijiang began, intending to offer some praise.

Xuanzheng, however, interrupted him directly.

"Elder Brother Dijiang, Elder Brother Zhujiuyin."

His voice was not loud, yet it seemed to contain immense power, causing the flowing spiritual energy around them to pause.

Dijiang and Zhujiuyin both turned their heads. For the first time, they felt from this thirteenth brother a sharp edge, unrelated to "Father God" and belonging purely to himself, that made their hearts palpitate.

Xuanzheng met the sudden sharp gazes of his two elder brothers, speaking word by word, each like a hammer blow striking the empty great hall.

"The Witch Clan faces an existential calamity."

The air instantly froze. The smile on Dijiang's face completely vanished, replaced by extreme seriousness. "What did you say?"

Zhujiuyin's eyes snapped open, fixing intently on Xuanzheng.

Xuanzheng did not flinch in the slightest, slowly uttering the latter half of his sentence, his voice carrying endless temptation and resolve.

"And, an eternal opportunity to ascend in one step."
