The Final Arrangement, the Fate of the Four Saints

The Primordial World was thriving.

Every inch of land is filled with the joy of new life, and every breath of air is permeated with the spirit of the Great Way.

All living things sing praises to the name of the new Lord of Heaven, Qin Feng, which has become a radiance more eternal than the sun, moon, and stars.

But in the Jade Void Palace of Kunlun Mountain, in the Eight Sceneries Palace of Shouyang Mountain, and in the western Mount Sumeru, four beings are living each day as if it were a year.

Yuanshi, Taishang, Jieyin, Zhunti.

These four saints, whose voices once resounded throughout the three realms and Words Manifested into Law the weight of the law, could now determine the fate of all beings with a single thought, but now they live worse than ordinary people.

Their authority was stripped, their Saint Position were revoked, and their Tongtian- powerful cultivation was like a punctured balloon, leaking out completely.

All that remained was the empty body of the saint and a heart filled with fear of the unknown.

Inside the Jade Void Palace, the Yuanshi Tianzun sat blankly, unconsciously stroking the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi in his hand.

That treasure, which once could shatter the skull of Daluo Golden Immortal, now felt heavy in his hands, like an ordinary piece of jade.

Outside the palace, the disciples had long since dispersed, and the vast Jade Void Palace was so deserted that one could hear the dust settling on the ground.

He dared not go out, and even dared not extend his Spiritual Sense too far.

Because he could feel that the entire Primordial World was rejecting him, and that feeling of loneliness, of being abandoned by heaven and earth, was more painful than being killed.

The alchemy Alchemy Furnace at the Eight Sceneries Palace on Shouyang Mountain has been extinguished for countless years, and its cold walls are covered with dust.

Grand Supreme Elder Lao, with disheveled hair, had lost all his former dignified and otherworldly appearance. He huddled in a corner, staring blankly at the flowers and plants outside the palace, bathed in the light of the new Heavenly Dao, growing freely and awakening their sentience.

They looked at me with a hint of pity.

The West, Mount Sumeru.

The days of Jieyin and Zhunti were even more miserable.

Not only have they lost their spiritual cultivation, but the Western Teachings they depended on for survival has also long since fallen apart.

What was once magnificent and resplendent is now nothing but ruins.

The two men were emaciated and looked like two travelers who had lost their way in the desert, their eyes filled with despair and confusion.

"Brother... what do you think he... what will he do to us?" Zhunti's voice was dry and hoarse, his lips cracked from dehydration.

Yes, there is a water shortage.

They even lost the ability to conjure water out of thin air, and could only endure thirst like ordinary people.

Jieyin didn't answer; he simply buried his bitter face even deeper.

What should be done?

Kill them? Suppress them for eternity? Or throw them into the Six Paths of Reincarnation to suffer torment for countless lifetimes?

They considered countless possibilities, each one sending chills down their spines.

The days spent awaiting trial are more agonizing than death itself.

They are like trash forgotten in a corner, waiting for the day they will finally be cleaned up.

Finally, that day has arrived.

A pale golden talisman appeared simultaneously in the Jade Void Palace, Eight Sceneries Palace, and Mount Sumeru without warning.

The talisman emanated no aura; it simply floated lightly in the air, bearing only a few simple Great Dao Runes.

"Biyou Palace, come see me."

The signature was that name that they both respected and feared, a name that had become a nightmare.

Qin Feng.

Yuanshi looked at the talisman, his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

A hint of relief flashed in Grand Supreme Elder Lao's murky eyes, followed by an even deeper fear.

Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance and saw the same despair in each other's eyes.

The trial finally arrived.

They dared not hesitate, nor could they hesitate.

That talisman seemed to possess an irresistible magical power, drawing their Primordial Spirit.

Four disheveled figures flew out from their respective dojos, heading towards the Biyou Palace on Golden Ao Island at a speed beyond their control.

Along the way, they witnessed a completely new and Primordial World.

The abundant spiritual energy transformed into a sea of clouds, and the mountains and rivers were brimming with vitality.

Countless new races are multiplying and thriving, their faces radiating heartfelt happiness and anticipation for the future.

This prosperity should rightfully belong to them.

They should have a place in this pilgrimage of All Spirits.

But now, they are just four prisoners about to be brought to trial.

The enormous disparity shattered the Dao Heart of the four former sages.

Soon, they arrived at the Biyou Palace.

To their surprise, the place was not the heavily guarded, menacing scene they had imagined.

The palace gates were wide open, and several fairies dressed in colorful clothes were sweeping the ground in front of the gate, chatting and laughing.

Upon seeing the four of them, the fairies merely glanced at them curiously a few more times before continuing with their own tasks.

That look wasn't from someone looking at an enemy, nor from someone looking at a prisoner.

Instead, they were watching... a few insignificant passersby.

This feeling of being ignored is more humiliating than being attacked with swords.

With trepidation, the four of them walked step by step into the Biyou Palace.

Inside the main hall, Qin Feng sat on a cloud bed, surrounded by a host of goddesses including Nuwa, the Queen Mother of the West, and Yun Xiao.

They were discussing something with great interest, occasionally letting out a burst of silvery laughter; the atmosphere in the entire hall was relaxed and pleasant.

It's as if today is just an ordinary afternoon, nothing special.

Qin Feng seemed to be chatting with the goddesses and didn't notice their arrival at all.

The four dared not disturb or utter a sound, and knelt upright in the center of the hall, heads bowed, waiting.

Time passed, second by second.

Qin Feng still ignored them.

This silent torment caused the four people's psychological defenses to completely collapse.

Sweat soaked through their robes, and their bodies trembled slightly with fear.

Their minds began to race with wild fantasies about everything that might happen next.

Will I be humiliated in front of all the goddesses?

Will their soul be extracted and their spirit destroyed?

Or will it be used as nourishment for the creation of a new world, and completely dissipate into the universe?

Just as they were about to be overwhelmed by fear, Qin Feng's voice finally rang out lazily.

"Everyone's here?"

The voice was flat, as if asking, "Have you eaten?"

"... They've arrived."

Yuanshi managed to squeeze out two words from his throat with difficulty.

"Lift your head up and let me see." Qin Feng's voice carried a hint of amusement.

The four men froze, but dared not disobey, and could only slowly raise their heads.

When their gazes met Qin Feng's deep, unfathomable eyes, they instantly felt as if their Primordial Spirit had been seen through.

All thoughts, all fears, all resentment—before those eyes, nothing could hide.

"Tsk tsk."

Qin Feng shook his head, seemingly somewhat disappointed.

"Look at the state you all are in now, where is even a trace of the demeanor of the sages of yesteryear?"

Upon hearing this, the four men turned pale and lowered their heads even further.

Qin Feng chuckled softly, stood up from the cloud bed, and slowly walked to them.

He walked around the four of them, each step sounding like a blow to their hearts.

The old era is over.

Qin Feng's voice finally became a little serious.

"Your sins, your karma, are wiped clean with the destruction of the old Heavenly Way."

Boom!

These words struck the four of them like a bolt from the blue.

Cancel it all?

That's it...?

They looked up abruptly, their faces filled with disbelief.

They thought they had misheard.

"What? Surprised?" Qin Feng found their stunned expressions somewhat amusing. "You thought I was going to kill you?"

The four dared not speak, but their expressions said it all.

Qin Feng curled his lip, his face full of disdain.

"Kill you all? That's too boring."

"Besides, if I kill you all, wouldn't I become just like you, a brute who only knows how to solve problems with violence?"

He held up one finger and shook it.

"I've always liked to make use of waste."

Waste utilization?

The four of them were stunned, not yet able to react.

Qin Feng had already turned around and was pointing outside the main hall.

His gaze seemed to pierce through endless time and space, seeing countless other worlds converging towards the primordial Primordial World within the Chaos Sea.

"Did you see that?"

Qin Feng's voice carried an Reign Supreme authority.

"Those are the new worlds that have come to worship me. They are ignorant and in need of a guide."

He paused, then his gaze returned to the four former sages, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.

"Now, I'm giving you a chance to make amends."

"Go to those new worlds, spread my new Heavenly Way, enlighten the beings there, and let them understand who is the sole ruler of all these heavens and myriad realms."

"You shall become eternal 'missionaries'."

The entire hall was deathly silent.

The four— Yuanshi, Taishang, Jieyin, Zhunti —were completely frozen in place.

Their brains are completely incapable of thinking.

Go to the new world... to spread the new Heavenly Way?

What... what kind of operation is this?

This was both an exile and a complete expulsion from the core circle of the Primordial World.

But at the same time, it also gave them a completely new way of life that they never dared to dream of!

They were even given a completely new "career"!

Although this job is for Qin Feng.

But for them, who had already fallen to rock bottom and had no control over their own lives, this was hardly a punishment.

This is clearly an immense blessing!

After a brief silence, an indescribable ecstasy erupted like a volcanic eruption, instantly engulfing the four of them.

"Thump!"

Zhunti was the first to react. He kowtowed heavily to Qin Feng, his forehead hitting the ground with a dull thud.

"Zhunti a sinner! Heavenly Emperor for sparing my life! Heavenly Emperor for giving me a second chance!"

His voice was choked with sobs, and tears and snot streamed down his face; he was nowhere near the image of a saint.

"This sinner Jieyin! I thank Your Heavenly Emperor!"

"The sinner Yuanshi! I kowtow in gratitude to His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor!"

"Your Majesty, I, the sinner, kowtow in Heavenly Emperor!"

The remaining three also seemed to wake up from a dream, and one by one they began to kowtow, as if they wanted to knock a hole through the floor of the Biyou Palace.

All the fear, resentment, and hatred in their hearts transformed into the most extreme gratitude and fervor at this moment.

It turned out that the new Heavenly Emperor's vision had already surpassed their imagination.

While they are still entangled in the grudges of this small corner of Primordial World primordial world, others have already set their sights on the endless myriad realms!

These so-called enemies are utterly insignificant in their eyes.

They could even be put to good use, sent out as pioneers to expand territory.

This feeling of being treated as a tool did not humiliate them; instead, it gave them an unprecedented sense of security.

If something can be used, it means it still has value.

If you have value, you can survive!

Qin Feng looked at the four people below who were kowtowing repeatedly and nodded in satisfaction.

He waved his hand, as if shooing away a few flies.

"Alright, stop getting in the way and get back to work."

"Yes! Yes! We'll go right away!"

The four men, as if granted a pardon, leaped to their feet with unprecedented agility.

Fearing that Qin Feng might change his mind, they bowed deeply to Qin Feng once more, then transformed into four streaks of light and rushed out of the Biyou Palace without looking back, flying towards the Chaos Sea at their fastest speed ever.

Their impatient manner made it seem as if being a second late would mean missing out on a fortune.
