The Primordial World Reveres Strength

Primordial Unrecorded Years, Li Fan observed the cultivation realms of the Postnatal Deities from various forces across the Primordial World.

Among them, the Three Emperors' forces had the most Postnatal Deities, especially the Five-Colored Human Race under the Human Emperor's faction, who were the first to break through to the Venerable God Realm.

The Five-Colored Human Race was one of the few relatively powerful and populous clans in the Primordial World. The Postnatal Divine Path relied on worship; as long as there were enough worshippers and sufficient quality of faith, becoming a Postnatal Deity was easy.

As time passed, the number of Postnatal Deities from the Three Emperors and the Five Divine Beast Clans who broke through to the Venerable God Realm had already exceeded five hundred.

Li Fan thought to himself that they were fattened up, and it was time to reap the harvest.

Li Fan called for Goddess Taiyuan and went together to the Taiyin Star.

Arriving at the Taiyin Star, they found Goddess Ziguang was also there.

Goddess Ziguang stared blankly at Goddess Taiyuan. "Taiyuan, I can no longer see through you. Have you broken through to Grand Unity Tenth Heaven?"

Goddess Ziguang's face was full of shock.

Goddess Taiyuan looked smug. "Who am I? The famed War Goddess of the Primordial World. From now on, call me big sister, hahaha."

Ziguang pouted and complained, "It's not just you all. Wangshu broke through a while ago, and now you, Taiyuan, have broken through too. Can't you wait for me?"

Li Fan looked at Ziguang. Empress Ziwei was no longer domineering. Ziguang was the classic type—not afraid of her sisters suffering, but afraid of them driving luxury cars.

It seemed that after this matter was settled, I would also need to go into seclusion.

Taiyuan asked Li Fan, "Should we directly notify the Postnatal Deities now and have them use the Teleportation Array to come to the starry sky for construction? No one dares to defy the orders of Grand Unity."

Li Fan said confidently, "How can we enforce it by force? We're doing this with the purpose of nurturing these Postnatal Deities."

"The Distracting Thoughts within the Incense Fire require them to come to the Primordial Starry Sky and serve us for a hundred thousand years to be purified. Otherwise, it would be detrimental to their cultivation. Hehehe."

Goddess Taiyuan was dumbfounded and exclaimed, "Good heavens, this is the first time I've truly met you today."

Li Fan raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean? This is called the art of language, understand? Having a just cause for action, you know?"

"For this operation, we need Goddess Wangshu to go find the Great Divine Powers of the various forces in the Primordial World and notify them one by one. For the sake of the Primordial World, we are duty-bound."

Without formidable strength, those Postnatal Deities attached to the Great Divine Powers would not obey. The Primordial World respected strength above all; it was a world where the weak were prey to the strong.

"Let's first visit Heavenly Emperor Cangli. Let's go, three goddesses." Four rainbows shot straight toward the Nine Heavens in the starry sky.

Heavenly Emperor Cangli resided in the Nine Heavens of the Primordial World, in the supreme "Grand Unity Heaven" among them.

Grand Unity Heaven was magnificent and grand, shrouded in immortal mist, the ruling center of the Supreme Divine Court.

Goddess Wangshu arrived at the palace gate, and the Grand Unity Venerable God Juling came to greet them.

"Taiyin Star Lord, accompanied by Li Fan, Taiyuan, and Doumu, seeks an audience with Heavenly Emperor Cangli on important matters."

Juling said respectfully, "Star Lord, please wait a moment. I will immediately report to the Heavenly Emperor."

Li Fan thought to himself that with Goddess Wangshu taking the lead, one was worth two.

No, one was worth three. Goddess Wangshu at the Eleventh Heaven, wielding the Innate Supreme Treasure Taiyin Jade Forbidden Pearl, could easily defeat Li Fan, Ziguang, and Taiyuan combined. In Grand Unity, each step was a heaven apart.

Juling said respectfully, "Four honored guests, please come in."

Li Fan saw Heavenly Emperor Cangli, the foremost god of the Primordial World.

The Heavenly Emperor's face was carved like jade from the Nine Heavens, purple qi swirling between his brows, his gaze opening and closing like thunder splitting the sky, imposing without anger.

Cangli said calmly, "Taiyin Star Lord, what business do you have with This Imperial We?"

Wangshu spoke, "It concerns the Postnatal Deities. The four of us at Grand Unity have discovered that the Incense Fire contains the Distracting Thoughts of the worshippers."

"Postnatal Deities who have broken through to the Venerable God Realm must come to the Taiyin and Ziwei Star Domains to 'cultivate' for a hundred thousand years, to teach them the Postnatal Divine Path. This is for their own good."

"This matter will be executed by Li Fan. There must be no mistakes."

Li Fan's face was dead serious. "As you command, Taiyin Star Lord. I guarantee the mission will be completed."

Cangli's face twitched as he watched Wangshu and Li Fan putting on a straight-faced duet.

After thinking it over, Heavenly Emperor Cangli decided to agree to the request of the four Grand Unity cultivators.

"Very well. This is a good thing for the Postnatal Deities. I have no reason to refuse. Juling, you will handle it."

After the matter was settled, Li Fan gifted some Dao Comprehension Divine Tea to Heavenly Emperor Cangli before leaving.

After Li Fan and the others departed, Juling approached Cangli. "Heavenly Emperor, we are not without means to deal with the Distracting Thoughts in the Incense Fire. Why did you agree so easily?"

Cangli replied, "These are all excuses. Their true goal is to bring the Postnatal Star Gods to the starry sky. But they haven't gone too far. Look at Taiyin Star Lord's demeanor—if I had refused, she would have resorted to force. Three Great Divine Powers and one Grand Unity cultivator, their intentions are not good."

"I am not in a position to act now. The Dao Fruit of the Dao-Dyed Chaos Demon God has reached a critical moment. Taiyin Star Lord has broken through to Grand Unity Eleventh Heaven. I cannot let other Great Divine Powers see through my true state, especially the Five Elder Lords."

Li Fan was delighted to have achieved his goal, but he noticed the grave look on Goddess Wangshu's face.

He asked softly, "Goddess, what's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Wangshu sighed lightly. "Ten Epochs have passed, and Cangli has indeed broken through to Grand Unity Twelfth Heaven. He is not far from the Hunyuan Grand Unity Venerable God. The Dao Fruit of the Dao-Dyed Chaos Demon God—I hope it does not bring about a great calamity."

"Let us take this opportunity to probe the true strength of the Earth Emperor and the Human Emperor."

Four streaks of light descended from the Nine Heavens to the Primordial World. Li Fan and the others arrived at the Earthly Dao Divine Kingdom.

"Taiyin Star Lord, accompanied by Li Fan, Taiyuan, and Doumu, seeks an audience with Earth Emperor Yuejian on important matters."

Zunlu, this Grand Unity Venerable God, led Li Fan and the others to meet Earth Emperor Yuejian.

The Earth Emperor was rather plain in appearance, with a muscular build.

Yuejian looked at the four before him. "Taiyin Star Lord, what important matter brings you here to consult with I?"

Wangshu said in a deep voice, "Incense Fire contains the Distracting Thoughts of believers. Postnatal Deities who have reached the Venerable God Realm must go to the Taiyin and Ziwei Star Domains to 'cultivate' for a hundred thousand years."

"This matter is under Li Fan's full authority."

Earth Emperor Yuejian agreed without hesitation, assigning Zunlu to handle the liaison.

Yuejian's face was full of worry. "Troubled times are upon us. If someone breaks through to the Hunyuan Grand Unity Realm, the demons will not sit idly by. Chaos is coming."

Before leaving, Li Fan gifted some Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves to Earth Emperor Yuejian.

The Human Dao Hall of Heroes stood directly across from the Earthly Dao Divine Kingdom.

"Taiyin Star Lord, accompanied by Li Fan, Taiyuan, and Doumu, has come to discuss important matters with Human Emperor Jiutou Clan."

Da Luo Venerable God Xuxu led Li Fan and the other three to meet Human Emperor Jiutou Clan.

Human Emperor Jiutou Clan had a genial demeanor that made it easy for others to lower their guard and open their hearts. "Taiyin Star Lord, what important matter brings you here?"

Wangshu said softly, "Incense Fire contains the Distracting Thoughts of believers. Postnatal Deities who have reached the Venerable God Realm must go to the Taiyin and Ziwei Star Domains to 'cultivate' for a hundred thousand years. This matter is under Li Fan's charge."

Human Emperor Jiutou Clan clasped his hands lightly. "My thanks to the four deities for founding the Postnatal Divine Path, opening a way for all living beings. I hold you in great admiration."

Among the Three Emperors, Li Fan had the best impression of Human Emperor Jiutou Clan.

Then, Jiutou Clan replied, "This matter will be handled through communication between Xuxu and Li Fan."

Before leaving, Li Fan gifted the Human Emperor not only Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves but also an Innate Fruit, the Huangzhong Plum.

Li Fan looked at Wangshu and asked, "Goddess, are the Earth Emperor and Human Emperor also at the Twelve Heavens of Grand Unity?"

Wangshu frowned. "Yes. God Merged with Dao indeed cultivates faster than God and Dao Aligned. I hope the Three Emperors break through to Hunyuan Grand Unity without a hitch."

Next, Li Fan and the others visited the Five Divine Clans in turn. Among them, Ancestor Dragon of the Dragon Clan had a fierce temper—until Wangshu unleashed the aura of Grand Unity Eleventh Heaven.

Her gaze icy as she stared at Ancestor Dragon, he immediately yielded from the heart, became very cooperative, agreed to the Taiyin Goddess's request, and even threw a grand banquet to make amends.

Watching this scene, Li Fan could only laugh. Still acting tough, huh?

As for the Postnatal Deities in the Solar Star Domain, Li Fan didn't bother with them. Too few in number to care about. Who knows, maybe one day yours will be mine. Heh heh heh!

The matter was perfectly concluded.

"All Postnatal Deities at the Venerable God Realm in the Primordial World must use the Teleportation Arrays of the major Forces to go to the Taiyin and Ziwei Star Domains, obey Lord Li Fan's commands for a hundred thousand years, temper their Dao Hearts, and purify the Incense Fire's power of faith. No mistakes are permitted."

The Postnatal Deities answered in unison, "As you command." This was a decision already made by the Da Luo Divine Sages.

All beneath Da Luo are ants. They had no right to choose, only the fate of being chosen.
