Great God Pangu

Great God Pangu cleaved the heavens and the earth, his body transforming into the Primordial World.

Pangu underwent nine transformations daily, with one hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred manifestations appearing with each change.

For instance, Nüwa's human face and serpent body, and Houtu's posture holding a soaring serpent, are all manifestations of Pangu.

The final humanoid manifestation Pangu transformed into is the Innate Dao Body.

Thus, Pangu Primordial Spirit divided into the Three Pure Ones, forming the true humanoid shape.

Nüwa created humans from yellow clay and attained Sagehood, becoming the first Heavenly Dao Sage of the Primordial World.

Subsequently, the Three Pure Ones founded sects to attain Sagehood and educate the Human Race.

The Two Sages of the West made great vows to attain Sagehood, solely to spread the Great Dao to the Human Race.

After countless eons, the Wu and Yao clans faded, the Human Race rose, and eventually became the protagonists of heaven and earth.

From the reign of the Three Sovereigns to the order of the Five Emperors, and then to the era of Shang Zhou, the Investiture of the Gods Calamity began.

After the Three Pure Ones broke apart, the four major sects fought their final battle, the Investiture of the Gods ended, and the Sages retreated into seclusion.

The Primordial World transformed into the Earthly Immortal Realm, divided into the Four Great Continents.

From then on, the Primordial World entered the era of the Heavenly Court and the West.

Haotian, the Jade Emperor, ruled the celestial realm, while the Western Buddhist Sect saved all living beings.

When the Journey to the West Calamity arrives, the Buddhist Sect will be incomparably prosperous!

"From now on, there are no more Three Teachings in the Primordial World, only reverence for the Buddhas of the Western Heaven."

"Heh, the Three Pure Ones, Pangu's Legacy?"

"How truly pathetic."

The Primordial World.

Beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, in the depths of chaos.

Taiqing Realm.

Daluo Heaven, Daluo Mountain.

Immortal energy drifts ethereally, where the Sages reside.

Peaks stand towering, blessed by nature, with cranes dancing and dragons and phoenixes singing.

Within the Primordial World lies a blessed land of caves, home to a towering palace temple named the Eight Sceneries Palace.

Inside the Eight Sceneries Palace, amidst swirling purple mist, a supreme Daoist with white hair and a white beard sits in meditation.

He wears the Taiqing Ruyi Crown, is draped in the Mysterious Yellow Taiji Daoist Robe, and is crowned by seventy-two colored mysterious lights, with the rhythm of the Dao flowing ceaselessly around him.

This Daoist is the leader of the six Heavenly Dao Sages of the Primordial World—Grand Pure One Laozi.

At this moment, he is immersed in enlightenment, his aura profound and mysterious, as if he has reached an infinite proximity to the Dao.

However, just as he was about to break through, he was interrupted by a streak of black light, causing his enlightenment to fail.

Opening his eyes, a flash of shock and confusion crosses the face of Grand Pure One Laozi.

A moment later, he gradually calms down.

"So I have actually transmigrated into the Primordial World and become the Leader of the Renjiao Sect, the Grand Supreme Moral Lord."

Learning that he had become a Heavenly Dao Sage, controlling the pinnacle of the Primordial World, he should have been overjoyed, but after merging with the memories, Grand Pure One Laozi frowns slightly.

"It is currently the end of the Investiture of the Gods and the prelude to the Journey to the West; as a Sage, I am trapped in chaos, like a prisoner."

Li Er was originally a man from Earth, who accidentally transmigrated while reading the story of the Investiture of the Gods, becoming Grand Pure One Laozi.

Worse still, he has arrived during the most desperate period for the Three Pure Ones.

During the Investiture of the Gods, the Renjiao, Chan, and Jie Sects slaughtered each other, and the relationship between the Three Pure Ones shattered.

In the end, the Western forces seized the opportunity to rise, reaping the benefits as the third party.

Thousands of years later, the Journey to the West Calamity will begin, and the West will flourish in the world.

The situation is beyond saving! The current state of affairs is like the sky collapsing.

However, the three Sages are in a precarious position, unable to set foot in the mortal world, forming a stark contrast to the ease of the Two Sages of the West.

Although the Three Pure Ones have consumed the Saintfall Pill, their strength remains severely suppressed.

Grand Pure One Laozi had just attempted to improve his cultivation through enlightenment and was on the verge of success, only to be forced to stop due to the Saintfall Pill.

The situation for Yuqing Yuanshi is much the same.

But their plight is not the worst; the one truly trapped in a desperate situation is Shangqing Tongtian, who is imprisoned in the Purple Cloud Palace.

The destruction of the Jie Sect and the confinement of Tongtian have severely tarnished the reputation of the Three Pure Ones.

The root of all this points to the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, or rather, Hongjun.

Grand Pure One Laozi gazed toward the Purple Cloud Palace in the chaos, a chill flashing through his eyes before he withdrew his gaze.

He was no longer the Laozi of the past, content to be controlled by Hongjun, and his heart was now filled with resentment toward him.

"As Pangu's Legacy, the Three Pure Ones should have been invincible."

"Yet, we were ensnared by Hongjun's schemes, leading to our disintegration and allowing the Western forces to rise. It is truly unacceptable."

"But how can I turn the tides?"

Grand Pure One Laozi's eyes flickered as his thoughts raced at lightning speed.

As a Saint, he generated 129,600 thoughts every breath, and in a single instant, he could process 129,600 breaths of information.

Even when faced with interference, a Saint could still perceive all things within the Primordial World.

"Although my disciples were obscured, as a Saint, combined with the memories of my past life, I can fully conclude that all of this was a trap laid by Hongjun."

"To achieve his goal of merging with the Dao, Hongjun orchestrated this grand deception."

At the beginning of the War of the Gods Calamity, Nüwa bore the brunt of it; the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors should have been Saints of Humanity, yet they were halted at the level of Half-Saints, causing the decline of the Human Dao.

Houtu transformed into the cycle of reincarnation, leaving the Underworld constrained and preventing the Earth Dao from flourishing.

During the Investiture of the Gods, the Three Pure Ones were plotted against; the Jie Sect was torn apart, Tongtian was imprisoned in the Purple Cloud Palace, and the disciples of the Three Teachings existed only in name.

My Good Incarnation joined the Heavenly Court, the Chan Sect gradually fell into decline, and my direct disciples either fled to the West or defected to the Heavenly Court.

The Three Pure Ones, as Pangu's Legacy, should have been the strongest force to resist Hongjun after the Earth Dao and Human Dao, yet now we have suffered a total defeat.

Furthermore, Hongjun laid out a layout for the entire Primordial World.

That brilliant and magnificent Primordial World has been shattered, leaving only the Four Divine Continents and the small realm formed by the Thirteen Overseas Dao.

The Primordial World was destroyed, yet Hongjun achieved his goal, becoming the supreme Heavenly Dao.

If I am to reverse the situation, I cannot rely on my own strength alone; I need the Three Pure Ones to join forces.

Faced with this desperate situation, Grand Pure One Laozi pondered for a long time, his brows tightly locked.

He was unwilling to remain trapped here, yet he could find no path for his disciples.

The Three Pure Ones had long since broken ties; how could it be easy to return to one?

Moreover, even under the Heavenly Dao, a Saint is nothing more than an ant.

The current Hongjun is the true Heavenly Dao!

Even if the Three Teachings were to unite, what use would it be?

Even as a transcendent Saint, I am helpless.

What's more, I have consumed the Saintfall Pill, making it impossible to even improve my cultivation; any slight movement would be detected by Hongjun.

Just then.

Sounds drifted into his ears.

"Master, is there anything you require of your disciple?"

It was Xuandu, who served in the Eight Sceneries Palace.

Seeing Grand Pure One Laozi's brows locked in a deep frown, Xuandu grew suspicious and could not help but ask.

Upon seeing Xuandu, Grand Pure One Laozi felt a stir in his heart and asked:

"Xuandu, what do you think of the Three Teachings now?"

Xuandu was the only direct disciple of Grand Pure One Laozi and the Eldest Brother of the Three Teachings; he possessed immense talent and had received the true teachings of Laozi.

Hearing this, Xuandu was slightly stunned, feeling that his master seemed unusual.

Laozi, who had always upheld the principle of inaction, never spoke much of the Primordial World or the Three Teachings. For him to not only bring it up voluntarily but also ask for his opinion was truly rare.

Since his master had asked, Xuandu dared not be negligent, and after some thought, he could not help but say:

"Master, forgive my bluntness."

"Master did not stop the two uncles back then, but instead allowed the conflicts within the Three Teachings to deepen; I fear we were caught in a scheme. As for the Three Teachings, they exist in name only."

Grand Pure One Laozi nodded gently.

That Xuandu could perceive matters at the level of a Saint indicated that Hongjun had finally played his last card.

"Then how can the Three Teachings reverse the situation?"

"The Three Teachings? Reverse the situation?"

Xuandu opened his eyes in surprise; although he was not a Saint, he guessed that the mastermind behind this must be a supreme existence.

His master actually wanted to reverse the situation? And with the Three Teachings together?

Xuandu was both shocked and filled with admiration for his master's courage.

Grand Pure One Laozi closed his eyes in contemplation; his question to Xuandu had been merely a casual remark.

If a Saint was helpless, then so too was Xuandu.

To oppose Hongjun, one must not only break free from the Saintfall Pill but also reunite the Three Pure Ones, and perhaps even restore the Primordial World.

The Primordial World was the legacy of Pangu, yet Hongjun had ruined it for his own selfish gains; as the orthodox successor of Pangu, Grand Pure One Laozi could naturally no longer stand by and watch.

But how could such a feat be anything less than defying the Heavens?

Grand Pure One Laozi sighed in his heart.

Restore the Primordial World? I fear even the Heavenly Dao would find that difficult.

At this moment.

A clear chime rang out.

Ding! Host's will detected!

Ding! Primordial Luck System has been activated!

Primordial Luck binding?

My golden finger has arrived!

A glimmer of light flickered in the eyes of Grand Pure One Laozi.

As expected, the standard equipment for a transmigrator is a system!

The Grand Pure One was filled with joy.

Trapped in this predicament, the system must be his key to breaking the deadlock!

"Xuandu, go and cultivate."

"Yes, Master."

After Xuandu departed.

Grand Pure One Laozi summoned the system.
