Heavenly Court, Underworld, Human Realm

Across the Primordial World, war raged, and countless beings were killed and wounded.

Goddess Taiyuan was the nemesis of all evil!

She came striding through the beacon fires, her armor cloaked in the frosty hues of the setting sun, her brows sharp as blades tearing through the twilight, her eyes holding dark ice that would never melt! Wherever the Demon Gods went, Taiyuan, this War Goddess, fought her way there!

Seeing this, Li Fan was deeply worried for Goddess Taiyuan. Demon Gods had no sense of fair play; he feared they would set a trap for her. The five great Demon Gods were watching hungrily from the shadows.

A hundred thousand years passed. After Li Fan upgraded every Teleportation Array across the land, he remained at Goddess Taiyuan's side. One more measure of strength meant one more measure of rescue for all living beings.

Taiyuan's face lit up with surprise. "Long time no see, Li Fan. What brings you here? The Demon Gods have become rampant again lately. Do you have any Three Lights Divine Water left? Lend me some to heal my injuries."

"Between us, what's there to stand on ceremony about? Striking Demon Gods is everyone's responsibility. This bottle of Three Lights Divine Water is yours. If you run out, just ask me for more! No need to be polite—I have plenty."

Taiyuan accepted the divine water, her expression turning grave. "Thanks, Li Fan. I can sense that the Chaos Demon Gods are serious this time. The Primordial Beings may be in for another calamity."

"Goddess Taiyuan, be more careful. The Demon Gods are coming in full force this time. I'm afraid they'll target you."

"Those Da Luo Venerable Gods following you can't stand against the likes of the Destiny Demon God. Taiyuan, can you defeat the Destiny Demon God?"

Taiyuan did not care in the slightest. "Even if I can't beat him, I can hold him off for a while and call on Sister Wangshu for help."

Li Fan patiently said, "Be wary of the Demon Gods joining forces. The longer this goes on, the stronger the Demon Gods who escaped from Mount Zhou will become. I suspect the five great Demon Gods have reached the Grand Unity Eleventh Heaven."

As more Demon Gods emerged, the Postnatal Divine Path Li Fan and the others had established became vulnerable. Postnatal Deities were easily tempted and could fall into demonic corruption, making it easier for the Demon Gods to revive. The only good news was that all those Demon God avatars were shoddy imitations.

They posed little threat to Da Luo Venerable Gods, but to the Primordial Beings, they were an enormous disaster.

Li Fan rushed over and attacked without another word. "One Sword to Open the Heavens, cleave heaven and destroy earth!" Entering a state of unity between man and heaven, he forged the power of the world into a sword.

When the Demon God avatar saw the divine ability containing the True Meaning of Pangu Opening the Heavens hurtling toward him, he thought of Pangu, who had opened the heavens in the beginning. Instinctive fear seized him, and he fled at once.

Seeing this, Li Fan immediately unleashed his strongest divine ability!

"Great Sun Glazed Body, Reincarnation Sword Dao, emerge!"

A Law Sword Dao Divine Ability that spanned the vault of heaven appeared between heaven and earth. With one step forward, the thirty-thousand-li-long Reincarnation Sword Qi in his hand surged forth like raging waves.

"This sword can slay gods and devils." A strand of sword radiance pierced the heavens as Li Fan cut into the Demon God. Wherever it passed, space shattered.

The Demon God watched with his own eyes as the power of the Law of Reincarnation pierced his body, his face filled with despair. "Boy, I'll remember you. Just you wait."

The Demon God died in an instant. Only the biting Reincarnation Sword Intent echoed between heaven and earth. The Law of Reincarnation Sword Dao Divine Ability left behind a myriad-foot abyss across the Primordial World. Should any living being fall into it, the remaining Law Sword Qi would tear them into pieces.

Li Fan then sought out Goddess Taiyuan to discuss matters. They decided to bring all Postnatal Deities under management. The Chaos Demon Gods were using the Incense God Path established by the four of them as fuel for resurrection. A man may endure what he must, but this was beyond endurance!

Within the River of Time, the four of them held a meeting.

Li Fan wore a stern expression. "Goddess Wangshu, this time we need to handle this matter seriously. Our relationship with Heavenly Emperor Cangli has just eased somewhat. We cannot allow the Postnatal Divine Path to keep growing like wild grass. The Three Emperors aren't managing it strictly enough, so we'll do it ourselves!"

Ziguang nodded lightly. "The Three Emperors are already overwhelmed and have no time to manage the Postnatal Deities. I took a look—the Postnatal Deities lack sufficient resolve and are easily corrupted."

Wangshu's gaze darkened. "The Three Emperors have disappeared from the sight of all Grand Unity Experts recently. No one knows what they are plotting. Those Demon Gods are wreaking havoc across the Primordial World, yet they have not acted."

Taiyuan listened with tightly furrowed brows. "I have a good relationship with the Three Emperors. Why not let me manage these Postnatal Deities?"

Li Fan immediately replied, "Good. Then I'll negotiate with the Da Luo Venerable Gods beneath the Three Emperors."

After the Three Emperors vanished, Li Fan visited the Tianling Clan under the Heavenly Emperor, the Zunlu Clan under the Earth Emperor, and the Xuxu Clan under the Human Emperor in turn.

He issued a notice mandating the management of the Postnatal Deities. The forces beneath the Three Emperors all expressed dissatisfaction, and the Postnatal Deities protested.

Those opinions meant nothing to Li Fan. With the Solar Authority upon him, he erupted with the bearing of the Seventh Heaven of Great Luo, his pressure bearing down upon the deities.

No one dared disobey. Facing Li Fan's hard fist, the Da Luo Venerable Gods under the Three Emperors all agreed.

Li Fan had never been so overbearing. Under the Three Emperors, only the Tianling Clan, Zunlu Clan, and Xuxu Clan possessed the Grand Unity Fifth Heaven; the other Da Luo Venerable Gods had even lower cultivation.

With the "voluntary" cooperation of the many Grand Unity Experts, a hundred thousand years later, all Postnatal Deities assembled. Arriving in Taiyuan's territory, they "voluntarily" left True Spirit imprints upon Goddess Taiyuan's Top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Investiture of the Gods. They were forbidden from resisting the Investiture of the Gods. In return, under its protection, their True Spirits would not perish.

Goddess Taiyuan established the Hall of Myriad Gods near Mount Zhou. Postnatal Deities who had reached the Venerable God Realm had to come regularly to guard the divine hall, where they would also be checked for demonic corruption. Li Fan set up protective formations and Teleportation Arrays around the hall.

Li Fan saw Goddess Taiyuan smiling every day. It seemed the True Spirit imprints of the Postnatal Deities were of great benefit to Taiyuan's Investiture of the Gods.

Taiyuan smiled at Li Fan. "Thanks to your suggestion, I gained immensely this time. I'm more confident now about breaking through to the Grand Unity Eleventh Heaven. Thank you, Li Fan."

Li Fan humbly replied, "That was your own ability. I didn't contribute much."

Seeing that everything had been set on the right track, Li Fan returned to the Nine Heavens of the Primordial World. When he arrived at the Star Realm, he could hardly recognize this newly opened Great Thousand World. The world was bustling with people; the fiercer the fighting on the Primordial World became, the more people came here to seek refuge.

Li Fan met with Goddess Wangshu in the Star Realm.

He asked Goddess Wangshu, "Goddess, where do you think the Three Emperors have gone?"

Wangshu pondered carefully. "Without a Hunyuan Grand Unity, one generally cannot enter Mount Zhou. Even a Hunyuan Grand Unity may meet with misfortune in the Land of Guixu. They may have gone to search for the legendary Pangu's Three Dantians."

Li Fan looked puzzled. "What are Pangu's Three Dantians? Goddess, tell me about them!"

"When the Three Emperors held the Myriad Gods Conference, records in their inheritance stated that Pangu possessed upper, middle, and lower dantians. Within them lay great Creation and great opportunities. The Three Emperors mobilized all Grand Unity Experts to deduce and search for them, but after long years, they ultimately found nothing."

"I suspect Pangu's dantians are still gestating. Back then, Great God Hongjun deduced with all his strength, and the only information he obtained was the Divine Name of the Great Dao for Pangu's Three Dantians: the upper dantian, Heavenly Court; the middle dantian, Human Realm; the lower dantian, Underworld."

Upon hearing this top-secret information, Li Fan's face filled with shock. "Heavenly Court" should be the Thirty-Three Heavens found by the Demon Race during the Witch-Demon Era, after which they established the Demon Court. Following the decline of the Demon Race, Haotian, the attendant of Hongjun, established the Heavenly Court. The name Haotian was rather interesting!

The "Underworld" born when the Ancestral Witch Houtu transformed into reincarnation—the legendary Earthly Dao!

And "Human Realm" might conceal the secret to becoming the protagonist of heaven and earth. The humans of the Human Realm represented all sentient beings in the Primordial World.

Li Fan's heart was filled with shock. He felt that he had already touched upon a taboo of the Primordial Universe!

For the moment, Li Fan and Wangshu had no idea where the Three Emperors had gone. They began recruiting deities in the Star Realm who wished to join the Star Sky. This was an opportunity that came once in a thousand years.

Goddess Taiyuan remained active across the land, while Li Fan stayed above the Nine Heavens, watching Taiyuan at all times. An ominous premonition had always lingered in his heart!

As an Innate Divine Being born in the Primordial Era, he was more sensitive than anyone to changes in heaven and earth!
