No One Can Escape This Ending!

Purple Cloud Palace.

Hongjun opened his eyes, a flicker of surprise passing through his gaze.

"Zhen Yuanzi's comprehension of the Earth Book has already reached this level?"

Back then, he had used Zhen Yuanzi's Earth Book to stabilize the shattered Primordial Origin and establish the Earthly Immortal Realm—a scheme in itself.

Otherwise, Zhen Yuanzi would have become the master of the Earthly Immortal Realm and even attained enlightenment through it.

But now, Zhen Yuanzi was merely an Ancestor of Earth Immortals in name only.

The changes in the Primordial Origin were clearly tied to Zhen Yuanzi.

And Zhen Yuanzi had just visited Tushita Palace.

Hongjun's gaze sharpened as he looked toward Taiqing Realm, Grand Luo Heaven—this was undoubtedly connected to Laozi.

Yet Hongjun could not intervene.

After all, Zhen Yuanzi was comprehending his own Earth Book; even the Heavenly Dao could not interfere.

The heavens and earth operated by their own laws, and Hongjun could not violate the rules.

Hongjun's tone was indifferent as the aura of the Heavenly Dao filled Purple Cloud Palace.

Side hall of Purple Cloud Palace.

Tongtian's eyes flickered with black light, his aura chaotic, his face alternating between red and white.

He knew well that the Saintfall Pill was nearly impossible to dissolve. His sole focus was on saving the Jie Sect, constantly trying to break free from his shackles.

Yet, as the greatest curse upon a saint, the Saintfall Pill had left him with no progress for years.

Now, sensing the increasingly violent Heavenly Dao aura within Purple Cloud Palace, Tongtian's heart was filled with despair, fearing he would never leave this place.

Taiqing Realm, Grand Luo Heaven, Eight Sceneries Palace.

Laozi sensed the violent fluctuations of the Primordial Origin and a faint smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

As the Four Great Continents merged, the Earthly Immortal Realm trembled incessantly, the heavens and earth expanding further.

Spiritual energy surged, as if recreating the majestic scenes of the ancient Primordial Origin.

The Earthly Immortal Realm was ascending.

Longevity Mountain, Five Villages Monastery.

A powerful aura suddenly erupted, sweeping across the Three Realms.

Zhen Yuanzi's figure manifested between heaven and earth.

Above his head floated the Golden Book, and his body radiated supreme Dao resonance.

Sub-Saint realm!

The mighty figures of the Primordial Origin were all shaken.

"Zhen Yuanzi has actually reached the Sub-Saint realm?"

"Could all these changes be related to Zhen Yuan Great Immortal?"

Even the saints couldn't help but turn their gazes.

Zhen Yuanzi had stepped into Sub-Saint on his own?

Sub-Saint—that was half a step to sainthood!

What kind of fortune was this?

Yet, this was far from over!

When Zhen Yuanzi appeared between heaven and earth.

The Nine Heavens of the Primordial Origin suddenly trembled!

Boundless Heavenly Dao merits cascaded down like a waterfall!

Merging into the crown of Zhen Yuanzi's head!

Zhen Yuanzi sensed his aura still rising!

His heart surged with excitement!

Was he about to ascend to the Great Dao?

But then, Zhen Yuanzi's heart jolted as he felt a majestic, oppressive pressure!

It came from beyond the chaos—the cold, indifferent gaze of Hongjun of the Heavenly Dao!

If not for the protection of merits, Zhen Yuanzi's mind would have nearly shattered.

Just then.

Taiqing's calm voice echoed in his heart.

"Zhen Yuanzi, if you retreat now, you will never attain the Great Dao in this lifetime."

Zhen Yuanzi's gaze instantly hardened, his mind clear as day!

The next moment!

The Primordial Dao-Forging Method activated!

The aura of the Great Dao erupted like a tidal wave!

A forceful breakthrough!

"I, Zhen Yuanzi, today prove the Dao and become a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin!"

Zhen Yuanzi's voice resounded through heaven and earth.

Every powerhouse in the Primordial Wilderness was shaken.

What?!

Zhen Yuanzi is about to prove the Dao?

Are you kidding me?

He doesn't have the Primordial Purple Qi!

Could he be using the Primordial Dao-Forging Method to prove the Dao through sheer force?

Before anyone could dwell on it.

The next moment!

The Earth Book radiated supreme light.

The entire Earthly Immortal Realm resonated in response.

Heavenly anomalies appeared.

The supreme Heavenly Dao manifested across the Primordial Wilderness.

At the same time!

The aura of a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin instantly flooded the entire Primordial Wilderness.

Zhen Yuanzi had proven the Dao!

The Earthly Immortal Realm was also elevated.

Zhen Yuanzi froze for a moment, then burst into ecstasy.

Taiqing hadn't lied to him!

The news of Zhen Yuanzi becoming a saint shook the Primordial Wilderness.

Even the saints found it hard to believe.

Inside the Purple Cloud Palace.

Hongjun's face darkened.

Proving the Dao through Law, a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin.

Taiqing's scheme had actually succeeded.

In the Western Paradise.

Receiver and Cundi were dumbfounded.

"How is this possible?"

"Zhen Yuanzi doesn't have the Primordial Purple Qi—how did he prove the Dao?"

The Primordial Purple Qi was the foundation for becoming a saint; that was common knowledge.

On Kunlun Mountain, in the Jade Void Palace.

Yuanshi was filled with disbelief and shock.

"This is my elder brother's Primal Chaos Dao Method—it must be his scheme!"

Yuanshi was deeply awed by Taiqing's grand move.

In Grand Simplicity Heaven, at Wa Huang Palace.

Nüwa's eyes shimmered with brilliance, her heart full of emotion.

"So this is truly a Dao method that directly points to the Origin!"

"Senior Taiqing, he is simply too formidable!"

Taiqing's actions had completely overturned the traditional understanding of the Primordial Wilderness!

In the underworld, at the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Pingxin was equally stunned, yet filled with deep emotion.

"Grand Pure One Laozi is broad-minded. Though this method can directly attain the Primordial, it still benefits the Primordial World."

At this moment.

The Primordial World beings erupted into a frenzy!

"Zhen Yuan Great Immortal has truly become a Sage?!"

"Heavens, how is this possible?!"

"He must have comprehended the Taiqing Saint's Primordial method! Indeed, one can become a Sage without the Primordial Purple Qi!"

"Grand Supreme Moral Lord! Creator of all ages! Unmatched through eternity!"

The Primordial World Beings were utterly exhilarated!

By now, no one doubted that the Taiqing Saint's Primordial Great Dao was real.

If Zhen Yuanzi could succeed, they too had a chance!

The entire Primordial World was swept into ecstasy.

Yet at that very moment.

An unparalleled Sage might descended!

Heaven and Earth seemed to freeze.

The Primordial World beings fell silent in an instant.

All sounds ceased!

Even the Sages were completely mute.

Above the Nine Heavens, a phantom appeared.

This supreme aura, with just a trace, shook the Three Realms!

"Zhen Yuanzi, since you have attained Sagehood, you should go cultivate in the Chaos."

"From now on, you are forbidden to return to the Primordial World."

Hongjun's cold voice echoed between Heaven and Earth.

Hongjun chuckled inwardly.

What use was it even if the Grand Pure One exhaustively spread the Great Dao across the Primordial World?

What meaning did it hold even if Zhen Yuanzi proved the Primordial?

What did it matter if he knew the Grand Pure One's schemes?

He was the Heavenly Dao. Everything was ultimately under his control.

"I am already a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin. I need not be bound by the Heavenly Dao."

"I will cultivate in the Primordial World."

Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help but speak.

Having become a Sage only to have his freedom restricted was worse than not becoming one.

"Heaven's will cannot be defied."

Hongjun's icy voice spread across the Primordial World once more.

A terrifying aura radiated, making all things tremble.

The Primordial World fell into dead silence.

Every powerful being could sense that indescribable taboo and fear.

The Dao Ancestor was the Heavenly Dao—not to be looked upon, not to be discussed.

Yet all lamented in their hearts.

No one could change the Heavenly Dao's decree.

Even if Zhen Yuan Great Immortal had achieved Sagehood, he could never defy the Dao Ancestor.

Netherworld Underworld.

Pingxin stared at Hongjun's phantom, a cold hatred flashing in her eyes.

But in the end, she could only sigh helplessly.

"They say that beneath Sages, all are ants."

"Then aren't Sages themselves also ants?"

For a moment, Pingxin's heart grew cold, and she no longer wished to watch the changes in the Primordial World.

The Heavenly Dao Hongjun looked down upon all beings, and all beings were but chess pieces.

Thus, all resistance became meaningless.

In the side hall of the Purple Cloud Palace.

Watching Zhen Yuanzi struggling to hold on, Tongtian couldn't help but sigh softly.

"A futile struggle."

Tongtian deeply understood Zhen Yuanzi's current predicament.

Back when the Jie Sect was destroyed, Tongtian was furious to the extreme, wanting to reforge earth, water, fire, and wind.

Yet, Dao Ancestor Hongjun merely waved a hand, and Tongtian was utterly defeated.

That became the most despairing moment of his life!

Hongjun's intervention made everything a foregone conclusion!

No one could escape this outcome!

Western Paradise, Mount Sumeru.

Cundi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "As expected, everything is within the Master's control!"

"The West's great rise is unstoppable!"

Receiver pressed his palms together and nodded, "Amitabha, the West is where destiny lies."

Zhen Yuanzi was about to become a saint, which was not good news for the West.

Because the next kalpa would be the Buddhist Dharma Eastward Transmission. If a saint intervened, no force in the Primordial could contend with it.

After all, the gap between a saint and a non-saint was insurmountable.

Now that Zhen Yuanzi was under house arrest, the West was naturally overjoyed.

Grand Simplicity Heaven, Wa Huang Palace.

Nüwa watched Zhen Yuanzi, who was on the verge of collapse, and gently shook her head.

In the Primordial, no one could directly contend with Heavenly Dao Hongjun.

Finally, Nüwa turned her gaze toward Taiqing Daluo Heaven.

Since Hongjun had appeared, would the Grand Pure One make a move?

"Senior Taiqing, faced with the Heavenly Dao's scheme, how will you respond?"

Nüwa murmured softly.

Kunlun Mountain, Jade Void Palace.

Yuanshi gazed steadfastly at Taiqing Daluo Heaven.

He firmly believed his elder brother must have a plan!

Since the creation of the Primordial, there had never been a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin. Now that his elder brother had achieved this realm, it was unprecedented and unmatched.

How could he let Hongjun have his way so easily?

Yuanshi was full of confidence in the Grand Pure One.

Taiqing Realm, Daluo Heaven.

Eight Sceneries Palace.

Grand Pure One Laozi calmly lifted his head, his gaze piercing through chaos, as if locking eyes with Hongjun.

Playing chess against the Heavenly Dao—how could the Grand Pure One have no hidden cards?

A faint smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

He spoke slowly.

"Zhen Yuanzi, take the oath with me."

As his words fell.

Grand Pure One Laozi's eyes blazed with brilliance!

The Infinite Great Dao Starlight manifested with overwhelming force!

The aura of the Primordial Origin surged and roiled!

This was the authority of the Primordial Origin!

Primordial, Earthly Immortal Realm.

As everyone lamented Zhen Yuanzi's fate.

Zhen Yuanzi suddenly ceased his resistance and infused his saintly power into the Earth Book.

His face solemn, he spoke in a deep voice, "Heavenly Dao above, I, Zhen Yuanzi, willingly merge into the Earthly Immortal Realm, guarding the Primordial for all eternity."

At these words, all were stunned.

What exactly does Zhen Yuan Great Immortal intend to do?

Hongjun's expression shifted slightly.

The Earth Book blazed with light, taking shape as the embryo of heaven and earth, rapidly expanding and devouring the chaos.

In an instant, the heavens stirred and all beings were shaken!

The Primordial World visibly expanded before their eyes.

This left the beings and saints of the Primordial World utterly astonished.

The expansion of the Earthly Immortal Realm made everyone feel as if they were witnessing the vast, boundless Primordial World of old.

Could the ancient Primordial World be about to reappear?

Yet how could Zhen Yuanzi accomplish this with his strength alone?

No one knew.

At that moment, above the Nine Heavens.

The Heavenly Dao Eye manifested, fixing its gaze upon Zhen Yuanzi.

A vast Heavenly Sound echoed through the Primordial World.

"Approved."

The Heavenly Dao had acknowledged it!

With a thunderous roar, boundless merit descended.

Zhen Yuanzi's aura recovered, and even advanced further.

He bowed deeply toward the Nine Heavens.

"Zhen Yuanzi thanks the Heavenly Dao."

Zhen Yuanzi's heart surged with immense excitement!

The methods of Taiqing Saint were truly beyond comprehension!

Hongjun's face grew darker by the moment.

He sensed his authority over the Earthly Immortal Realm slipping away.

Hongjun acknowledged all of this—Zhen Yuanzi merging with the Earthly Immortal Realm was not harmful but beneficial to the Primordial World.

This was precisely the outcome the Heavenly Dao desired.

Hongjun spoke coldly: "Zhen Yuanzi, though you now wield the authority of the Earthly Immortal Realm, you must not involve yourself in the Calamity of Quantums." With those words, Hongjun's figure vanished.

All beings in the Primordial World were stunned, unable to grasp why the situation had shifted so abruptly.

What had Zhen Yuanzi done? And why had the Primordial World suddenly expanded? Even the ancient great powers could not comprehend.

Only the saints sensed something...

The Six Paths of Reincarnation!

Pingxin spun around sharply, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

"How did Zhen Yuanzi influence the Heavenly Dao?!"

Western Paradise!

Receiver and Cundi stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what they were seeing.

Had the Dao Ancestor failed?

Wa Huang Palace!

Nüwa's beautiful eyes widened, her face full of astonishment.

It was Taiqing? He could actually influence the Heavenly Dao? This completely surpassed her imagination!

Jade Void Palace!

Though Yuanshi was surprised, he was far more elated.
