Since Pangu cleaved the chaos and created the Primordial Land, several Measure Calamities have passed.

First, Dao Ancestor Hongjun attained sainthood and merged his essence with the Dao; later, the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, the Guiding Sage of the West, and Sage Zhunti—six in total—attained sainthood by upholding the providence of the Heavenly Dao.

Having endured many calamities, the Primordial Land finally began to stabilize.

However, one day, the entire Primordial world suddenly trembled violently, followed by a scene where the sky turned dim and the sun and moon lost their light.

In an instant, the aura of the Primordial Land decayed rapidly... the entire world turned a gray-black.

The great powers of the Primordial Land felt the shift and looked up, only to see a ten-thousand-foot hole torn into the depths of the Heavenly Palace. The sky was collapsing and the earth sinking, a scene of impending annihilation, like the end of the world.

It turned out that Gonggong and Zhurong had fought a great battle, and after his defeat, Gonggong had struck the Heavenly Pillar in a rage, piercing a ten-thousand-foot hole through the sky.

At this moment, above the Nine Heavens, countless chaotic energies poured down, catching the living beings of the Primordial Land off guard and killing or wounding more than half of them instantly!

Those who remained struggled in despair; the situation was truly too tragic to behold.

Just at this moment of life and death, a saintly maiden appeared, dressed in Phoenix Coronet and Cloud Robes, radiating seven-colored light, with the body of a human and the tail of a snake.

This person was none other than Nuwa.

At this moment, she held a ten-thousand-foot Seven-Colored Divine Stone, flying with all her might toward that massive hole in the sky.

She intended to mend the Heavenly Palace.

However, the closer she drew to the gaping hole, the more difficult it became; the endless Chaotic Turbid Qi continued to erupt downward, preventing Nuwa, who was burdened by the Seven-Colored Divine Stone, from successfully mending the sky.

Just as Nuwa reached a stalemate with the Chaotic Turbid Qi, and the other sages, while protecting the common people, found themselves unable to intervene and could only fret in anxiety.

Suddenly, a purple-gold light flew through the air from the depths of the Primordial Land.

Dazzling streaks of purple-gold bloomed across the firmament, illuminating the endless chaos.

After the purple-gold light that shone upon the world dimmed slightly, the sages realized it was actually a scroll that blotted out the sky and sun.

This purple-gold scroll seemed to possess the miraculous power to suppress the ages and span the heavens.

As this sky-covering scroll unfurled just a fraction, an indescribable, vast divine might radiated outward.

The endless Chaotic Turbid Qi, upon touching this vast heavenly might, was instantly shattered into nothingness.

Nuwa, holding the ten-thousand-foot divine stone, suddenly felt the weight lift. She channeled her magic power, ascended against the heavens, and pressed the stone into the breach in the firmament, perfectly filling the massive hole.

Following this, Nuwa channeled her great magic power to melt the stone and seal the sky.

Finally, the massive hole was completely mended.

Subsequently, endless Merit descended—a gift from the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth to the sages for mending the sky.

Sage Zhunti, the Guiding Sage of the West, the Primal Sage, the Grand Supreme Sage, and Sage Tongtian each received ten percent of the fortune for protecting the common people, while Sage Nuwa, having refined the stone to mend the sky, received fifty percent of the fortune alone.

Yet, the sages who received this fortune felt no joy whatsoever.

Six figures that blotted out the sky gathered in one place, their gazes fixed tightly upon the purple-gold scroll in the firmament.

Since the dawn of time, they had never seen such a magical treasure.

This mysterious scroll was clearly a supreme treasure of the highest order.

By unfurling only a fraction, it had shattered the endless chaotic turbulence into nothingness.

This was truly inconceivable.

The sages looked at one another, unable to hide the surging emotions in their hearts.

At the same time, the eyes of the sages gradually turned red.

Even though they had attained sainthood and reached a state where their minds were difficult to disturb, at this moment, massive waves still crashed within their hearts.

For in their knowledge, apart from their teacher's Creation Jade Tablet, no other magical treasure possessed such power.

This scroll, having only unfurled a fraction, had actually shattered the endless power of chaos; it was absolutely far, far more powerful than the Pangu Banner, the Taiji Diagram, or other such treasures.

How could this not stir waves in their hearts?

Beyond the six sky-covering sages, the purple-gold scroll in the firmament also attracted many other great powers of the Primordial Land.

After all, the emergence of this purple-gold scroll had been accompanied by a massive commotion.

In particular, the vast divine might it revealed had stunned the billions upon billions of beings in the Primordial Land.

Every existing great power of the Primordial Land now had their eyes fixed here.

Watching every move made in this place.

The Three Pure Ones were originally one, their minds connected; at this moment, endless divine light bloomed in their eyes, as if their gazes contained the Heavenly Derivation Dao.

This was a unique divine ability of the Three Pure Ones.

It allowed them to deduce the Heavenly Dao, perceive the secrets of heaven, and discern the origin of all things in the Primordial Land; they were all-knowing and all-seeing.

Yet, the moment their gazes touched the purple-gold scroll.

The purple-gold scroll seemed to possess endless Dao Intent, its divine might vast and inviolable.

It instantly shattered the divine light in the eyes of the Three Pure Ones, and as their eyes stung, blood-red tears actually flowed from them.

At the same time, those three towering figures could no longer hold their ground, stumbling back in a wretched and miserable state.

The sight of the Three Pure Ones in such a condition instantly threw the great beings of the Primordial World into an uproar.

The three Sages had actually been wounded and repelled by this Purple Gold Scroll simultaneously?

This was simply unimaginable, a sight that completely overturned their understanding of reality.

Who were the Three Pure Ones? They were the manifestation of Pangu's Primordial Spirit combined with Innate Pure Qi.

Having attained the Merit of creation and cultivation over countless years, they founded great sects and earned the Merit of benefiting all living beings, only then ascending to the status of Sages.

Even looking across the entire Primordial World, the Three Pure Ones, bound by their shared origin, were considered the absolute strongest!

Yet, even such formidable beings had been wounded and repelled by this Purple Gold Scroll?

What on earth was happening?

The billions upon billions of living beings in the Primordial World all gasped in unison.

Their minds were unable to process what they had just witnessed.

Seeing the Three Pure Ones repelled, the Guiding Sage of the West felt a surge of joy:

"The Three Sages of the East have been forced back? Could it be that this Purple Gold Scroll shares a destiny with our West?"

As he spoke, his eyes turned blood-red with greed.

Beside him, Sage Zhunti nodded, his gaze filled with excitement:

"It seems the opportunity for our West to rise lies within this Purple Gold Scroll..."

With that, Sage Zhunti reached toward the firmament, his hand instantly transforming into a Heaven-Covering Hand.

Carrying the majestic might of Heaven, this Heaven-Covering Hand struck directly toward the Purple Gold Scroll.

However, the scroll merely emitted a faint aura of purple-gold, and the Heaven-Covering Hand shattered instantly.

Not only that, but Sage Zhunti himself suffered a backlash.

His right arm exploded into a mist of blood out of thin air.

His massive body staggered and collapsed to the ground.

The impact even dragged down the Guiding Sage of the West, who also spat out blood and fell to the earth.

Everyone watched this scene in stunned silence, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

Of the six Sages in the world, five had been wounded by this Purple Gold Scroll in an instant?

This was truly too incredible.

What exactly was this object?

How could it radiate such terrifying power? Was it not too fearsome?

Of the six Sages, only Nuwa remained.

Dressed in her Phoenix Coronet and Cloud Robes, outshining the entire Primordial World, Nuwa glanced at the Purple Gold Scroll and retreated several steps with great self-awareness; she did not believe herself to be stronger than the Three Pure Ones.

Witnessing this scene, the billions upon billions of living beings in the Primordial World erupted into a clamor!

The Three Pure Ones repelled, the Two Sages of the West struck down, and Nuwa retreating of her own accord.

Were the Sages too weak?

Or was this Purple Gold Scroll too strong?

Everything that happened today surpassed their imagination, leaving an impression that would never fade for eternity.

However, at this very moment, strange phenomena reappeared in the firmament.

The expressions of the six Heaven Dao Sages turned grim.

The massive hole in the sky did not seem to have been repaired securely; following a strange noise, many more spatial rifts appeared across the vast firmament.

These spatial rifts continued to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Resembling a spiderweb, the cracks spread across half the sky in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, the expressions of the billions upon billions of living beings in the Primordial World changed drastically.

Even though the hole in the Heavenly Palace had been patched by Nuwa, it was no longer perfect.

It could no longer withstand the chaos energy from outside the firmament, and the sky was on the verge of shattering.

The Primordial World would likely be completely overturned in an instant.

Just as this collapse began, the scroll that blotted out the sun suddenly released a purple-gold radiance once more.

It then slowly unfurled across the firmament, actually blocking and covering the continuously shattering rifts.

Like a patch, the scroll adhered to the sky, completely sealing the cracks.

As the scroll unfurled, endless purple-gold energy bloomed above the Primordial World, permeating the entire realm.

Infinite auspicious signs manifested one after another, bringing boundless good fortune to the Primordial World, and the slightly withered spiritual energy erupted once again.

After a long while, the Purple Gold Scroll finally finished unfurling.

The fully expanded scroll became incomparably massive, stretching across the Azure Void, blotting out the sun and spanning the firmament for countless millions of feet.

On the Purple Gold Scroll were several large characters:

Hongmeng Purple Gold List!
