Cihang was influenced by Jiu Tou Shi and felt his unwillingness and helplessness.

He seemed to have transformed into a Human Emperor, witnessing the hardships of the Primordial Era's beings.

He felt an urge to do something for them.

Just as Cihang was about to speak, the Glazed Pure Vase cast down a beam of clear light, instantly extinguishing the fervor and impulse in his heart.

Cihang also sobered up.

"Senior, since you've told me all this, do you need me to do something?"

Although Cihang admired the Three Sovereigns' self-sacrifice and integration into the Dao, a sense of caution also arose in his heart.

His feelings were entirely influenced by Jiu Tou Shi's state of mind.

If he possessed the strength of Pangu and Yang Mei, he too would be willing to fight the Heavenly Dao for all beings in the Great Desolation.

But now, he was merely a Golden Immortal. He lacked the strength and could not bear such karma.

He admired the Three Sovereigns' willingness to integrate into the Dao for all beings, but he did not wish to become like them.

"Apologies, I was lost in the past and affected you, young friend.

You don't need to be so wary of me. Obtaining the Earth Spirit Pearl and entering this space is your fortune and destiny.

I told you this only so you would be prepared. The Heavenly Dao is not benevolent.

Your ambition is to reach Primordial Chaos, which means you will inevitably stand in opposition to the Heavenly Dao. I don't need to scheme against you."

With Jiu Tou Shi's cultivation, he naturally saw through Cihang's wariness and apprehension at a glance.

"It is my petty heart that misunderstood Senior.

But currently, I am merely a Golden Immortal, too far from proving the Dao, and even more powerless to do anything!"

Cihang apologetically stated his position and bowed respectfully to Jiu Tou Shi.

He didn't doubt Jiu Tou Shi, but as he said, he was still too weak.

As for proving the Dao of Primordial Chaos, that was something to consider only after breaking through to that realm.

He still needed to continue cultivating in the Great Desolation and could not show hostility towards the Heavenly Dao at this moment.

"You don't need to say more, young friend. I understand everything.

Speaking of which, I do have one matter that requires your assistance.

The Five Elements Ling Clan was born because of me, but they also suffered calamity because of me and are now trapped in this small Grotto-Heaven.

If you have the opportunity in the future, I hope you can gather the Five Elements Spirit Pearls and, within your ability, offer them some protection.

As for anything else, it's entirely up to your own will. Time will prove everything!

I have also left some gifts for you, young friend, hoping you can achieve your wish and prove the Dao of Primordial Chaos."

Jiu Tou Shi's figure suddenly dissipated, transforming into a legacy memory that surged into Cihang's sea of consciousness.

"Senior, rest assured, I will gather the Five Elements Spirit Pearls and will also take care of these people.

If there is an opportunity in the future, I will also allow them to return to the Great Desolation!"

Cihang bowed and made his promise to Jiu Tou Shi's dissipating figure.

To make him an enemy of the Heavenly Dao, Cihang truly could not do it.

But taking care of the Five Elements humans was not a problem, and it did not conflict with his original intentions.

Even for the sake of future cultivation, he would collect the Five Elements Spirit Pearls.

As Jiu Tou Shi integrated into the Dao, the altar space also shattered, and Cihang reappeared beneath the ancient Ling Song tree.

At this moment, Cihang's heart was heavy.

This experience was indeed a great opportunity for him, as he had learned the hidden secrets of the world from the Primordial Era.

But it was also a huge crisis.

Although he hadn't promised Jiu Tou Shi anything, some things, once started, offered no turning back.

Just like him, the moment he learned the secrets of the Primordial Era, he had actually lost his choice.

As Jiu Tou Shi had said, as long as he wanted to break through to Primordial Chaos, he was destined to oppose the Heavenly Dao.

The Heavenly Dao, born from the resentment of gods and demons, inherently disliked the beings of the Great Desolation.

If he didn't break through, he would forever remain an ant, constantly sinking through the great tribulations of heaven and earth.

In this light, knowing these things in advance was also a good thing.

Now he didn't need to worry so much. He was only a Golden Immortal at this time. Let alone having any aspirations, he didn't have the qualifications to be an enemy of the Heavenly Dao.

All of this was premised on his ability to cultivate to the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm; otherwise, it would all be in vain.

With this thought, Cihang's state of mind instantly cleared.

Since he knew these things in advance, he should seize every opportunity to improve his strength and accumulate his foundation.

Instead of being timid and fearful.

Moreover, Jiu Tou Shi had also left him some good things.

Cihang raised his head and struck the altar with his palm.

"Boom!"

The altar, which had stood for countless years, collapsed with a roar, and a stream of light flew out from the ruins straight towards Cihang.

Looking again, Cihang held a broken seal in his hand, still carrying an illusory aura.

"Jiu Tou Shi's companion treasure, the Primordial Supreme Treasure Human Emperor Seal."

Looking at the broken great seal in his hand, Cihang couldn't help but show a look of regret.

Previously, in the altar space, Jiu Tou Shi had not only revealed the secrets of the Primordial Era but also left his inheritance in Cihang's sea of consciousness.

It was a cultivation technique that led directly to Primordial Chaos, containing many insights into the Great Dao.

Although Cihang had no intention of changing his cultivation path, it was of great reference value for his own practice.

Furthermore, Jiu Tou Shi's memories were even more valuable than a supreme treasure.

Besides the inheritance, there were also Jiu Tou Shi's Spiritual Roots and Spiritual Treasures.

Jiu Tou Shi possessed the top-tier Spiritual Root Five-Needle Pine, the supreme treasure Human Emperor Seal, the ultimate Spiritual Treasure Five Elements Creation Pearl, and the Innate Exotic Treasure God-Slaying Spear.

However, due to Daoization, these Spiritual Roots and Spiritual Treasures were almost all incomplete.

Among them, the God-Slaying Spear was obtained by Luohu and its whereabouts are unknown.

The Innate Five-Needle Pine had its origin divided and placed into the Five Elements Spirit Pearls respectively.

As for the Five Elements Creation Pearl, it was the predecessor of the Five Elements Spirit Pearls.

Then there was the Human Emperor Seal. Among the few Spiritual Treasures, the Human Emperor Seal was the most severely damaged.

Now, only its spiritual essence and its innate immortal origin remained, and it had even been divided into five parts.

However, even though it was broken, the Human Emperor's Spiritual Roots and Spiritual Treasures were extraordinary.

Moreover, as an Innate Spiritual Treasure, it could continuously recover.

"Gathering the Five Elements Spirit Pearls is truly imperative!"

If he could gather all five Elements Spirit Pearls, he would essentially have obtained more than half of Jiu Tou Shi's inheritance.

As for the God-Slaying Spear, there was no need to think about it.

Looking at the residual soul of the Human Emperor Seal, Cihang took out the Jade Divine Seal.

As his cultivation increased, the power of the Jade Seal gradually could not keep up with his progress.

Now, it was perfect to use it as a vessel for the Human Emperor Seal.

Sensing Cihang's intent, the Human Emperor Seal directly turned into a stream of light and merged into the Jade Divine Seal.

The Jade Divine Seal instantly erupted with divine light.

"Clang, clang, clang!"

The acquired restrictions within the divine seal shattered one after another, being replaced by the innate divine seals of the Human Emperor Seal.

At the same time, its appearance changed, becoming more ancient and profound.

Also, visions of billions of living beings manifested above the divine seal.

At this moment, the divine seal was no longer an acquired Spiritual Treasure but a lower-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

When the light dissipated, the new divine seal fell into Cihang's hand, emitting a soft glow, as if celebrating its rebirth and transformation.

The divine seal was now the color of yellow jade, carved with the shapes of the five sacred beasts, with Great Dao runes constantly flowing on it.

However, only the Qilin sacred beast was clearly visible, while the other four sacred beasts were blurry and lacked any divine aura.

"From today onwards, you shall be the All Beings Seal!"

As Cihang's voice fell, the words "Human Emperor" below the divine seal slowly faded, replaced by the words "All Beings."
