Ancestor Huang Tian's expression turned solemn, countless thoughts racing through his mind.

It could be confirmed that someone had used the Law of Time here not long ago, but whether it had been Shi Chen was hard to say.

Yet upon sensing the Law of Time, Shi Chen was the first one he thought of.

Though the Primordial World was vast, few had comprehended the Law of Time.

At once, Huang Tian activated his Grand Unity Dao Fruit, unleashing roughly six billion years of cultivation.

His hands formed seals, divine light blazing as countless Innate Talismans flickered in and out of existence.

Moments later, a patch of mysterious light appeared before him.

An image emerged within the mysterious light: a water snake.

The water snake could be seen frozen by time.

As time flowed backward, the water snake reverted into an egg.

But when the perspective shifted, everything became incomparably blurry.

As Huang Tian forcibly drove his Dao Fruit and cultivation, trying to make that segment of the past appear clearly, he discovered that the resistance was immense.

Bang~

The mysterious light shattered. Huang Tian suffered a slight backlash, and his mind and spirit trembled.

With a muffled grunt, Huang Tian narrowed his eyes. He was certain it was Shi Chen.

It seemed that the Time Demon God of old had also reincarnated in the Primordial World.

In truth, whether the Chaos Demon Gods slain by Pangu could reincarnate in the Primordial World did not depend on their strength, only on luck.

Huang Tian himself had been fortunate.

Back when he had still been a Chaos Demon God, there had been far too many Demon Gods stronger than him, yet all of them had suffered annihilation of body and soul beneath Pangu's axe.

There was no doubt about Shi Chen's strength, but whether he could reincarnate in the Primordial World was another matter.

Still, when it came to the River of Time in the Primordial World, Shi Chen's Great Dao of Time had contributed greatly.

"Few can make my divine ability backlash, and since this involves the Law of Time, it must be Shi Chen. But rebuilding the Great Dao of Time beneath the Heavenly Dao would be difficult. Will he choose another Great Dao of Law instead?" Huang Tian found himself increasingly curious.

A massive fireball hung in the Sky Dome, surrounded by countless Archaic Stars.

Compared to the Sun Star, even Archaic Stars were as tiny as specks of dust.

The Brilliant Great Sun illuminated eternity.

The sun and moon followed their constant courses, while the stars traveled their paths.

The patterns governing the movement of the Cosmic Stars were called the Heavenly Canon, while the laws of the earth were called the Earthly Weave.

Within Lu Yang's sea of consciousness, he had already deduced part of Pangu's Dao essence.

Grand Unity Divine Light stretching countless miles enveloped everything as Sun Origin surged.

The Power of Law transformed into four hundred and eighty million talismans.

"Pangu" appeared within the divine light, with his head as Jia, throat as yi, shoulders as Bing, heart as Ding, gallbladder as Wu, spleen as Ji, ribs as Geng, lungs as Xin, kidneys as Ren, and feet as Gui.

Furthermore, "Pangu" had eyes as the sun and moon, beard as the stars, brows as the Dipper Pivot, nine apertures as the nine directions, nipples as Kunlun, knees as great mountains, thighs as lofty peaks, buttocks as fish and turtles, hands as flying birds, claws as tortoises and Dragons, bones as gold and silver, hair as vegetation, body hair as ducks, teeth as jade and stone, sweat as rainwater, large intestine as rivers and seas, small intestine as rivers and Luo, and bladder as the hundred streams.

This was no longer limited to the form of a Chaos Demon God. It was a "Dao," a "spiritual level," a "concept," a transcendence above the multiverse.

Lu Yang had only been able to deduce part of Pangu's Dao essence because his foundation was formidable.

Just then, a sudden intuition rose within Lu Yang.

His primordial spirit calculated that fortune lay in the Moon Star.

"Is there an opportunity on the Moon Star?" Lu Yang wondered.

His true body could not go to the Moon Star. That would be a collision between sun and moon. Even if the Immeasurable Calamity did not arrive ahead of time, half the Primordial World would probably be ruined.

Thus, only a clone could go.

No. 1, Lu Ya, happened to be idle.

Somewhere in the Primordial Era, Lu Ya teleported through sunlight and went directly from the earth to the Sky Dome.

Standing above the Thirty-three Heavens, the entire Heavenly Realm lay beneath his feet.

The vast and boundless starry sky was incomparably deep, carrying an air of mystery.

Even the Sun Star, Lord of the Stars, found it difficult to fathom all the secrets of the starry sky.

Looking toward the Moon Star in the far distance, Lu Ya transformed into a rainbow streak and flew away.

After a long while, Lu Ya finally arrived at the Moon Star.

The closer he drew to the Moon Star, the colder it became.

Terrifying cold qi formed a barrier around the Moon Star. Anyone who touched this cold qi barrier would be frozen to death, with even the vitality of their primordial spirit extinguished.

When Lu Ya passed through the Taiyin Cold Qi Barrier without circulating his cultivation to protect himself, he shivered.

Upon arriving on the Moon Star, he looked around and saw a barren expanse covered in mysterious ice.

There were also silver rivers, their waters Taiyin True Water, supremely yin and cold enough to freeze heaven and earth.

He could also see an incomparably enormous osmanthus tree. It was the Moon Osmanthus, one of the top-tier Innate Spiritual Roots.

The Moon Osmanthus could rank among the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots, proving just how extraordinary it was.

Even from far away, the fragrance of its blossoms could calm the heart and settle the spirit.

The Moon Osmanthus contained Indestructible Power and could restrain evil demons.

Whether heart demons or heavenly demons, the Moon Osmanthus could suppress them all.

Therefore, even carrying a single Moon Osmanthus Leaf could grant eternal youth and immortality, as well as restrain evil demons.

However, the Moon Osmanthus's roots connected to the Moon Star Origin. Even a Quasi-Saint would find it difficult to take a single leaf from it.

Plucking a leaf from the Moon Osmanthus was easy, but the leaf would turn to nothing in an instant, while the lost leaf would reappear on the tree.

The same was true of cutting down the Moon Osmanthus. Even severing it in one blow would be useless.

Unless one destroyed its roots. Yet its roots were connected to the Moon Star Origin, and the Moon Star's power would protect them.

Under such circumstances, even an Innate Sage would find it difficult to destroy the Moon Osmanthus.

It could be said that destroying the Moon Osmanthus was not much easier than destroying the Moon Star itself.

Some living beings had even entertained the wild notion of entrusting their primordial spirits to the Moon Osmanthus in pursuit of immortality, but that was simply seeking death.

Once a primordial spirit was entrusted to the Moon Osmanthus, it would be assimilated by the Moon Star.

It was no exaggeration to say that even if a Quasi-Saint entrusted their primordial spirit to the Moon Osmanthus, they would only end in complete death.

Even attaining a Grand Unity Dao Fruit would be useless. Once assimilated by the Moon Star, the Grand Unity Dao Fruit would also be worn away.

Only a Hunyuan Grand Unity Golden Immortal's primordial spirit could be entrusted to the Moon Osmanthus without being assimilated by the Moon Star.

But then again, would a Hunyuan Grand Unity Golden Immortal need to entrust their primordial spirit to the Moon Osmanthus?

A primordial spirit could be entrusted to the Heavenly Dao or the Chaos Void, both vastly better than entrusting it to the Moon Osmanthus.

It was precisely because of the Moon Osmanthus's peculiar nature that no living beings wished to covet it anymore.

Only occasionally would mighty cultivators come to gather some Moon Osmanthus petals to refine Immortal Elixir and Spiritual Medicine.

After all, the Moon Star had been formed from Pangu's Right Eye, and it was no small place.

This was not actually Lu Ya's first visit to the Moon Star.

As a Golden Crow, he felt extremely uncomfortable on the Moon Star.

It could be said that Lu Ya's strength was restricted.

Compared to my last visit, the restrictions on me have weakened considerably, Lu Ya thought.

He had come this time for an opportunity.

But where was it?

Frowning, Lu Ya began searching.

The Moon Star had also given birth to living beings.

First was Wangshu, formed from Moon Yin Qi. She was currently at the Grand Unity level and was likely the reincarnation of some Chaos Demon God.

Aside from Wangshu, the Moon Star had also birthed two White Jade Toads. They were likely Empress Xihe and Consort Changxi. The former bore ten suns, Golden Crows, for the Heavenly Emperor Di Jun, while the latter bore twelve moons for him.

Now, Di Jun was one of Lu Yang's clones. Whether he would establish the Heavenly Court was still undecided, and as for an Empress or anything of the sort, that was not under consideration for now.

Wangshu cultivated in seclusion within the Moon Palace, and Lu Ya did not disturb her.

As for the two White Jade Toads, both were near the Moon Palace.

After considering it, Lu Ya decided to visit the Moon Osmanthus first.

The Moon Osmanthus was connected to the Moon Star Origin and involved many of the Moon Star's hidden secrets.

On his way to the Moon Osmanthus, he saw not only rivers formed from Taiyin True Water, but also the Ruoshui River.

Ruoshui possessed intense corrosive properties and could also imprison cultivation.

In the current Primordial World, only a small number could cross Ruoshui.

Upon reaching the Ruoshui River, one would enter the realm of Ruoshui within ten thousand zhang.

At once, surging Ruoshui flooded all directions, leaving no way to evade it.

Therefore, anyone wishing to avoid being trapped in Ruoshui had to fly more than ten thousand zhang above the Ruoshui River.

Lu Ya was currently less than ten thousand zhang above the Ruoshui River, so he fell into the realm of Ruoshui. Yet with a casual gesture, he shattered the Realm Wall.

The realm of Ruoshui formed by this Ruoshui River was merely a combination of a dozen or so Great Thousand Worlds. It was nothing before Lu Ya.

Before long, Lu Ya arrived beneath the Moon Osmanthus Tree.

There was no Primordial Great Array protecting the Moon Osmanthus, though there was no need for one.

In truth, setting up an array around the Moon Osmanthus was difficult, because its aura would interfere with it, causing the formation to become unstable and collapse on its own.

The moment Lu Ya arrived beneath the Moon Osmanthus Tree, he sensed a stream of divine sense sweep over him.

It was likely Wangshu.

Though Wangshu did not know everything on the Moon Star, she could still detect someone arriving beneath the Moon Osmanthus Tree.
