Faced with the explicit and implicit accusations and admonitions from the six Saint, Zhou Ming's expression remained unchanged.

He knew perfectly well what these people were worried about.

It was simply because he feared that his reckless extraction of the Primordial Origin would ultimately damage the very foundation of the Primordial World.

If the Primordial Wilderness suffers, none of these Heavenly Dao Saint will escape unscathed.

However, they lacked the strength and confidence to forcibly stop themselves.

Therefore, he could only adopt this righteous stance of "for the sake of all living beings in the Primordial Wilderness," ostensibly to persuade, but in reality, to demand a promise from himself.

A promise that would put their minds at ease.

Having figured this out, Zhou Ming smiled calmly and slowly began to speak.

"I understand the concerns of my fellow Daoists."

"This incident should not be repeated."

"Fellow Daoists, rest assured, this will only happen once; there will be no next time."

Hearing Zhou Ming make such a straightforward promise, Six Sages's tense nerves couldn't help but relax slightly.

Taiqing Laozi stroked his long beard and nodded.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist, for prioritizing the greater good of the Primordial Wilderness."

"After all, if the Primordial Wilderness is severely damaged, it will not benefit any of us."

Although Yuanshi Tianzun disapproved of Zhou Ming's style of doing things, since Zhou Ming had already made a guarantee, he couldn't say anything more.

He simply snorted, which was taken as acquiescence to the outcome.

Jieyin still wore that sorrowful expression, his hands clasped together.

"Excellent, excellent. Fellow Daoist, your profound understanding of righteousness is a blessing to the Primordial Wilderness."

Zhunti rolled his eyes and quickly echoed.

"Indeed, indeed! Fellow Daoist Zhou Ming, your righteousness is truly admirable!"

Zhou Ming, observing the various expressions on everyone's faces, continued speaking.

"I understand your concerns."

"Since it's settled, why don't we make a pact?"

"From this day forward, no one may extract the Primordial Origin in any way."

"If there is a repeat offense..."

He paused, then calmly uttered the second half of his sentence.

"We will join forces to attack them."

"Fellow Daoists, what do you think?"

Upon hearing this, all six Saint were stunned.

They originally only wanted a verbal guarantee from Zhou Ming.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ming took the initiative to propose establishing a covenant of Saint, making this matter an ironclad rule!

This far exceeded their expectations.

Zhou Ming's actions may seem to have bound him as well, but in reality, he has already accomplished what he wanted to do!

This agreement caused him no loss whatsoever.

On the contrary, the possibility of these Saint being imitated was completely blocked.

Although they also knew that replicating Zhou Ming's feat today was almost impossible.

Who could possibly produce such a massive amount of Merit Fortune?

In the Primordial Wilderness, perhaps only the Wu Clan, who control the Six Paths of Reincarnation and Merit are endless, possess such a terrifying foundation.

Even if they wanted to learn, they couldn't.

Being unable to learn something and being explicitly forbidden from doing so are two completely different concepts!

Zhou Ming is using their own worries to put a shackle on all of them!

A glint of light flashed in Taiqing Laozi's deep eyes.

This proposal is entirely beneficial to them.

In any case, they don't have enough Merit Fortune to offset the backlash from Heavenly Dao. This kind of "pay-to-win" gameplay is only something Zhou Ming and the Wu Clan can afford.

Now that Zhou Ming has taken the initiative to propose blocking this road, it's like he's putting a shackle on himself, which they are naturally happy to see happen.

"Good!" Laozi was the first to nod in agreement.

"Fellow Daoist, your words are excellent."

"I agree."

Although Yuanshi Tianzun was somewhat displeased, he could only nod in agreement.

"This action is beneficial to the Primordial Wilderness, and it should be done accordingly."

The Tongtian Sect Master was even more decisive.

"I have no objection."

Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance.

"Good!"

Nuwa nodded slightly in agreement.

Zhou Ming took in their reactions, and simply smiled to himself.

This covenant, seemingly binding him, is also setting rules for others.

If he can do it, then others can too.

If someone were to accumulate a vast amount of Merit by chance in the future and harbor the same thoughts, that would be the real harm to the Primordial Wilderness.

His actions today are intended to prevent such a possibility.

Just then, Wangshu, which had been suspended in mid-air, suddenly trembled.

The next moment, a cold, aloof, yet boundless aura swept out with a roar.

A pair of clear, cool eyes, as bright as moonlight, slowly opened.

The attention of the six Saint was instantly drawn to it.

They were all very curious about who this person was who could make Zhou Ming go to such great lengths to help him reshape his Dao Body.

This person must be someone of extraordinary importance.

Taiqing spoke first.

"May I ask how this fellow Daoist is addressed?"

Wangshu stretched her new body, feeling the realism of her flesh and blood, and was filled with mixed emotions.

Then, she turned her gaze to the six Saint, parted her lips slightly, and uttered two words.

"Wangshu."

Wangshu!

It was Wangshu!

Taiyin Demon God, Wangshu!

She didn't perish completely during the Heaven-Opening Great Calamity?

Moreover, a Remnant Soul remained, surviving to this day?

For the first time, undisguised shock appeared on the faces of the six Saint.

Even if a living Chaos Demon God is merely Remnant Soul reincarnated, the meaning he represents is entirely different.

"You... are the Taiyin Demon God, Wangshu?"

Nuwa's voice also carried a hint of disbelief.

Wangshu met the six people's shocked gazes, first slowly nodding, then gently shaking her head.

"The Taiyin Demon God is a thing of the past."

Her voice was cool and clear, yet it carried a calmness born from the vicissitudes of time.

"Now, I am merely Wangshu."

In a single sentence, she expressed her stance and her new beginning.

The Chaos Demon God of the past perished completely during the Heaven-Opening Great Calamity.

Now, she is simply Wangshu, Innate Divine Dao Body has been reshaped by Zhou Ming and who has returned.

The six Saint were all quick-witted and immediately understood the deeper meaning behind her words.

I see.

No wonder Zhou Ming went to such lengths.

A former Chaos Demon God, even if he has only reshaped his Innate Divine body.

Its potential and value far surpass those of ordinary Great Powers.

This investment may seem extravagant, but in reality... it's a huge profit!

"So it's Wangshu, my apologies for my rudeness."

Taiqing Laozi regained his composure and bowed to Wangshu.

"Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on your tribulation and return, reborn and ready to return to the Primordial Wilderness."

Congratulations on your return, fellow Daoist.

The other Five Saints also realized what was happening and stepped forward to pay their respects.

Regardless of who she was in the past, she is now Innate Divine created by the Saint Zhou Ming himself, with the entire Wu Clan standing behind her.

For this reason alone, they deserve to be treated with respect.

Wangshu returned the greetings one by one, exchanged a few simple pleasantries with the Saint, and displayed a dignified demeanor that was neither humble nor arrogant.

After a short while, seeing that the matter was settled, the six Saint had no intention of lingering any longer.

"Now that this matter is settled, we shall take our leave," said Taiqing Laozi.

"Fellow Daoists, please take your time." Zhou Ming cupped his hands in greeting.

The Six Paths Saint transformed into light and disappeared one after another. Soon, only Zhou Ming and the newly born Wangshu remained at the Buzhou Mountain.

"Thank you for your kindness, fellow Daoist."

Only then did Wangshu solemnly bow deeply to Zhou Ming once again.

This debt of gratitude for our rebirth is heavier than Mount Tai.

Zhou Ming glanced at Wangshu, whose breathing was still somewhat unsteady, and spoke.

"Let's go, come back to the Pangu Hall with me."

"You have just reshaped your Dao Body, and your cultivation level is unstable. You need time to go into seclusion to stabilize it."

"Good."

Zhou Ming, carrying her, vanished Buzhou Mountain in a flash.

Pangu Hall.

When Zhou Ming and Wangshu appeared, Hou Tu, who had been waiting Houtu, immediately came forward to greet them.

The moment she saw Wangshu, a genuine smile appeared on her beautiful face.

"Congratulations Wangshu, on successfully reshaping your Dao Body. Your future path to the Great Dao is promising."

Wangshu sensed the profound and powerful aura emanating from Houtu, a feeling of closeness arose in her heart.

"Wangshu greets the Saint Houtu."

Houtu chuckled softly and helped her up.

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need for such formalities."

Zhou Ming spoke up from the side.

"Fellow Daoist, you have just reshaped your Dao Body, and your foundation is not yet stable."

"You still need some time to stabilize your cultivation and completely merge this Dao Body with your True Spirit."

"During this time, you should focus on your cultivation in the Pangu Hall."

"Alright, I will follow your arrangements, fellow Daoist."

"Thank you, fellow Daoist."

Zhou Ming waved his hand, indicating that she didn't need to do that.

Afterwards, Wangshu went to a secret chamber Depths of Pangu Hall to cultivate in seclusion and consolidate her cultivation.

After Wangshu's figure disappeared, Houtu Tu withdrew her gaze and looked at Zhou Ming.

"Elder Brother, this fellow Wangshu is indeed extraordinary."

"Once she fully recovers, the evolutionary speed of the Pangu Realm will definitely accelerate even further."

Zhou Ming nodded, but there was no joy on his face.

He gazed calmly in the direction Wangshu had gone.

I hope she won't let me down.

"And I don't want my investment to end up going down the drain."

Upon Houtu, Houtu couldn't help but chuckle.

For Wangshu, being "invested" in by someone like his Elder Brother was an incredible opportunity.

It's still a Karma she can't escape; even she herself probably can't explain it clearly.
