This time, the Purple-Gold Qi in the sky stretched out even farther.
The third treasure finally manifested.
"Third place on the Treasure Ranking: World-Ending Millstone. A supreme Chaos Treasure. The mortal enemy of the Creation Green Lotus, possessing the foremost of the Chaos Laws: the Law of Destruction. It can grind all things in the Primordial Chaos to dust. It can destroy the Primordial Chaos, heaven and earth, and all living things, returning them to Hongmeng. Height: 333,330,000 kilometers. Width: 666,660,000 kilometers. Length: 999,990,000 kilometers. Owner: Chang Kong!"
"Gasp..."
"What a terrifying thing..."
"The World-Ending... Millstone?"
"The Creation Green Lotus's mortal enemy? The Law of Destruction?"
"How could such a monstrous thing exist?"
"Something that can even grind Chaos to dust?"
"No wonder this thing ranked ahead of the Earth Splitting Divine Chisel, which stood alongside the Heaven-Opening Axe... It truly was stronger than those two supreme treasures..."
"In other words, the Primordial World we live in could be wiped out with a mere wave of its owner's hand..."
At that instant, countless living beings of the Primordial World fell into despair.
So, in the eyes of others, they were nothing more than crawling insects.
In an instant, all beings of the Primordial World felt utterly hopeless.
Just then, the person called Little Erbi spoke again.
"Why are you worrying about this? You're really worrying over nothing. Whether this thing truly has such power is one question. Even if it does, without strength like Great God Pangu's, no one can wield a treasure like this..."
"Look at how frightened you are... Compared to Senior Randeng... you're far inferior. Senior Randeng has even confronted several Sages! Hmph..."
"..."
As soon as Little Erbi said this,
countless living beings of the Primordial World found themselves unable to refute him.
Still, it really did make everyone come to their senses.
The existence of a world-ending treasure was one matter.
Whether anyone could use it was another.
Besides, its owner would not destroy the world at the drop of a hat.
With that, countless living beings of the Primordial World truly were far inferior to Taoist Randeng.
At that moment, Taoist Randeng's somewhat wretched voice drifted over.
"Little Erbi, my friend... I never expected you to hold Randeng in such high regard. You flatter me, you flatter me."
"If this humble Daoist survives this calamity, I shall certainly seek you out for a few drinks... We'll drink until thoroughly drunk, and show our true colors as heroes..."
Little Erbi burst into laughter.
"Daoist Randeng, you are too polite... Easy enough, easy enough... If you ever have need of me, I shall risk my life to accompany a gentleman..."
"..."
For a time, these two exceptionally thick-skinned people actually began making friends before all the beings of the Primordial World.
After this exchange, even Primal Sage
no longer hated Taoist Randeng quite so bitterly.
With the two of them causing such a stir, the beings of the Primordial World no longer felt so afraid. Before long, things became lively again.
After a long while, the Purple-Gold Qi in the sky finally began to boil once more.
The beings of the Primordial World grew nervous again.
Only two places remained on the Treasure Ranking.
The treasure ranked second was finally about to appear.
Everyone's anticipation reached its peak.
What could rank above the World-Ending Millstone?
Everyone raised their heads to gaze at the heavens, afraid of missing even the slightest detail.
The Purple-Gold aura gathered in the air for a moment.
Yet it merely formed into a single mass.
What lay within could not be seen clearly.
Countless living beings of the Primordial World stared wide-eyed at the sky, but none could make out what it was.
The Purple-Gold Qi was simply too dense.
Yet the Grand Dao Script had already descended.
"Second place on the Treasure Ranking: Hongmeng. A supreme Hongmeng Treasure. The source of everything in Chaos and the Primordial World. The ancestor of laws. The origin of all things. The source of all power. Owner: Chang Kong!"
Everyone was somewhat unable to process it.
Even the Grand Dao Script's introduction had been exceedingly vague.
Not to mention the bewildered beings of the Primordial World.
Hongmeng?
Then what exactly was this Hongmeng?
Was Hongmeng also a treasure?
Could it be used as a treasure?
The source of everything in Chaos and the Primordial World.
Just thinking about it was terrifying.
What exactly was this thing?
And what kind of power did it possess?
This was something beyond the scope of their understanding.
Although the beings of the Primordial World did not really understand what Hongmeng was,
those Sages and Quasi-Sages understood it extremely well.
The origin of the world had been Void.
Void gave birth to Hongmeng, Hongmeng gave birth to Chaos, and Chaos opened into the Primordial World.
By third place on the Treasure Ranking, the Chaos Treasures had all been listed.
Now, the second place had become a Hongmeng Treasure: Hongmeng?
Then what treasure could stand at the top of the list?
Could it be a Void-Level Supreme Treasure?
At this thought, the Sages' expressions all turned unsightly.
Especially Grand Supreme Old Lord, whose strength was the most profound.
From the Creation Jade Tablet in eighth place onward, the Treasure Ranking had already consisted of Chaos Treasures.
Now, this second-place treasure had simply exceeded their understanding.
They still did not know what the first-place treasure would be.
The beings of the Primordial World unconsciously grew tense.
They all rose from the ground and stared fixedly at the Hongmeng Purple Gold List in the sky.
Next,
would be the first place on the Treasure Ranking...
It had truly taken endless anticipation to arrive.
At last, the most thrilling moment had come.
After a long time,
the Purple-Gold Qi in the sky began boiling once again.
All the Purple-Gold Qi filling the entire Void joined this process of manifestation.
It seemed that manifesting this treasure was extraordinarily difficult.
After a very, very long time,
this treasure finally manifested successfully.
It then condensed into a palace.
The palace in the sky was vast as the Grand Mansion spread open; behold the place built by sacred virtue. Its lofty gates stood towering; twin towers floated within Grand Purity. Its splendid halls stood beneath the central heavens, linked by flying pavilions to the western city.
Beside the long flow of the Zhang River, it looked upon the flourishing fruits of the garden. Twin terraces stood to either side, with Jade Dragons and golden Phoenixes. Two bridges linked east and west, like shrimp dragons stretching across the sky. Looking down upon the grandeur of the imperial capital, it beheld drifting clouds and rosy mists. Delighted by the gathering of talents, it answered the auspicious dream of the flying bear. Gazing upon the gentle spring breeze, it listened to the mournful cries of a hundred birds.
Once the Heavenly Cloud Wall had been erected, the household's wishes could be fulfilled. Benevolence spread throughout the realm, while all remained solemn and respectful in the capital. Though Huan and Wen had flourished, how could they compare with sacred brilliance?
How splendid, how beautiful! Its blessings spread far and wide.
May it aid our royal house and bring peace to the four directions.
Its measure matched heaven and earth; its radiance equaled the sun and moon. May its honor and nobility endure without limit, its lifespan equal that of the Eastern Emperor. Riding beneath dragon banners, it roamed freely; turning the phoenix carriage, it circled about.
Its grace reached the four seas, and fine things abounded as the people lived in peace. May this terrace stand forever firm, its joy everlasting through all ages.
It truly was a palace of jade and a celestial realm, with immortal music drifting through the air and towers hidden amid one another!
Countless living beings of the Primordial World gazed at the pavilions in the sky and immediately fell into a daze of fascination.
Everyone became immersed in them, unable to free themselves.
The pavilions in the sky were boundlessly magnificent.
Endlessly beautiful.
The wonder of these pavilions could not be expressed in words.
After a moment, the Grand Dao Script finally descended:
Before you continue
