The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth Changes Because of Me!

Five Elements Mountain.

Gu Xi looked up at the Ocean of Merit swirling above the clouds, feeling slightly stunned.

He naturally knew that the emergence of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches would have a massive impact on the Primordial World.

However, he had not expected that before he had even begun his lecture, the Heavenly Dao would be so "impatient" as to prepare the merit for him in advance, as if urging him to spread the Way of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches as quickly as possible.

He shared a subtle connection with the Heavenly Dao, his great creditor.

He faintly sensed that the Heavenly Dao seemed somewhat anxious at this moment.

It seems that the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches are even more important to the perfection of the Heavenly Dao Laws than I imagined!

Gu Xi smiled.

This was a great thing.

As for merit, he would never have too much of it.

The more, the better!

Moreover, the more important the Way of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches was to the Heavenly Dao Laws, the more luck he, as the founder, would receive from the world in the future—a constant, endless stream of it.

"However, the commotion the Heavenly Dao has stirred up is a bit too large."

"I fear that at this very moment, all the Great Supernatural Beings of the Primordial World are watching me!"

Heh, there are probably countless people out there envious and jealous of me!

But, I am now one of those Great Supernatural Beings myself, and once the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches are established, my strength will increase significantly... therefore, there is no need to worry too much.

Gu Xi took a deep breath and looked toward the crowd.

"We invite Dao Lord Gu Xi to begin the lecture on the Way of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches."

Suiren Shi and the other human powerhouses, along with the many visiting Gods and Devils, bowed deeply.

Ying Long, Daoist Jieyin, and Daoist Zhunti also looked at Gu Xi with eager anticipation.

They were desperate to know what kind of Great Dao the Way of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches created by Gu Xi actually was, to have triggered such an astonishing phenomenon.

"Very well!"

Gu Xi smiled and officially began his lecture on the Great Dao.

"In the past, within the Primordial World, the four seasons were indistinguishable. Living beings did not understand the sequence of time, were ignorant of the changes in the Heaven and Earth Vital Energy, and did not know how to conform to the timing of the heavens..."

"Therefore, I have created the Way of the Four Seasons and Twenty-Four Solar Terms to complete a missing link in the Heavenly Dao, allowing the Primordial Beings to live and work in accordance with the sequence of the four seasons."

"However, even with the appearance of the Four Seasons Sequence, there remain limitations. It cannot fully reflect the execution laws of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, nor can it fully encompass the evolution of the celestial stars and the Yin-Yang and Five Elements across the universe, nor their influence on all things in existence. Furthermore, the sequence itself remains flawed..."

"Therefore, building upon the Four Seasons and Twenty-Four Solar Terms, I have created the Way of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches."

He spoke in a resonant voice, every word a precious gem.

Merely by explaining the original intent behind the creation of the Way of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, countless golden flowers descended from the firmament.

The billions of stars within the Primordial Starry Sky trembled in unison.

Even the Star Gods dwelling within many of these stars could neither stop nor control this vibration.

Vast starlight converged, and rivers of stars, like Nine Heavens Silver Waterfalls, cascaded down upon Five Elements Mountain.

Tens of thousands of these star-rivers, resembling Nine Heavens Silver Waterfalls, plummeted onto Five Elements Mountain.

The scene was incomparably magnificent.

The human powerhouses and the many Gods and Devils within Five Elements Mountain were ecstatic.

Those golden flowers, imbued with the rhyme of the Dao, along with the gentle starlight, were continuously merging into their bodies, causing their Magic Power to increase rapidly.

The flowers, grasses, and trees upon Five Elements Mountain were also growing wildly.

Even the very body of Five Elements Mountain, tempered by the vast starlight, shone with brilliant radiance, as if it were about to transform into a true Holy Mountain.

"The Way of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches consists of the Ten Heavenly Stems and the Twelve Earthly Branches!"

"The Ten Heavenly Stems: Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui!"

"The Twelve Earthly Branches: Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai!"

"The Ten Heavenly Stems reflect the laws of change for the Yin-Yang and Five Qi in the heavens."

"Jia and Yi carry the Qi of Wind, Bing and Ding carry the Qi of Fire, Wu and Ji carry the Qi of Humidity, Geng and Xin carry the Qi of Dryness, and Ren and Gui carry the Qi of Cold. They demonstrate that the Five Elements Qi in the heavens follows the laws of mutual generation of the Five Elements as it changes."

"The Five Elements Qi is further divided into Yin and Yang aspects!"

"Therefore, the Ten Heavenly Stems are also divided into Yin and Yang: Jia, Bing, Wu, Geng, and Ren are Yang Stems; Yi, Ding, Ji, Xin, and Gui are Yin Stems!"

"The Twelve Earthly Branches reflect the laws of change for the Yin-Yang and Five Qi on the earth."

"The Twelve Earthly Branches are likewise divided into Yin and Yang: Zi, Yin, Chen, Wu, Shen, and Xu are Yang Branches; Chou, Mao, Si, Wei, You, and Hai are Yin Branches!"

"By combining the laws of change for the Yin-Yang and Five Qi in the heavens with those on the earth, and supplementing them with the Four Seasons Sequence and the Way of Star Rotation, one can accurately reflect the laws of the Great Cycle of Heaven and Earth, the laws of the reincarnation of space and time, and the laws governing the changes of all things..."

"With the Ten Heavenly Stems and Twelve Earthly Branches, matching Yang Stems with Yang Branches and Yin Stems with Yin Branches, we form sixty basic units to create a complete Ganzhi Calendar, also known as the Ganzhi Era Method!"

"This creates an execution cycle of sixty hours, sixty days, sixty months, and sixty years, which repeats in an orderly and continuous fashion to form a stable periodic law. It fully explains the laws of change for the Five Qi of Heaven and Earth within a cycle!"

"The Ganzhi Calendar is primarily composed of four parts: the Ganzhi year, month, day, and hour. It takes the Start of Spring as the beginning of the year and the solar terms as the beginning of the months. The Twenty-Four Solar Terms and the twelve-month system are the fundamental contents of the Ganzhi Calendar, governing both years and months while incorporating the Twenty-Four Solar Terms."

"The Heavenly Stems carry the Way of Heaven, while the Earthly Branches carry the Way of Earth. In the heavens, they form phenomena; on earth, they form shapes; in humanity, they form destiny. The Way of Heaven and the Way of Earth determine the Way of Humanity; thus, the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches were established to align with the movements of heaven, earth, and human affairs. With heaven and earth positioned, the Stems and Branches define space-time, and space-time defines the world."

"The Stems represent heaven and the Branches represent earth. Although all things grow upon the earth, their prosperity and decline cannot be separated from heaven. The combination of the Ten Heavenly Stems and the Twelve Earthly Branches forms the Sixty Jiazi, which are used to expound upon heaven, earth, and humanity."

Gu Xi explained the Way of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches to the crowd in its entirety.

As his explanation deepened, the laws of the Heavenly Dao in the ethereal void began to change drastically.

It was as if the countless Great Dao Laws were being rearranged and adjusted according to the Way of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches he was describing.

After the World Creation of the Primordial World, although the Pure Qi had risen to become the heavens and the Turbid Qi had sunk to become the earth, some Pure and Turbid Qi still permeated the void. With the two not yet fully separated, the climate and primordial energy were chaotic, leading to frequent natural disasters and a turbulent environment.

At this moment, as the countless Great Dao Laws rearranged themselves in the void, ripples of the invisible Great Dao swept across the universe.

In an instant, the vast amounts of Pure and Turbid Qi separated once more.

The Pure Qi rose to the heavens!

The Turbid Qi sank into the earth!

Many natural disasters that had been erupting subsided without a sound.

The orbital paths of the billions of stars in the Primordial Starry Sky also adjusted slightly, a thunderous sound echoing throughout the entire Primordial World.

Following this, as the countless Great Dao Laws rearranged, the environment of the entire Primordial World became better and more suitable for survival.

"This... what exactly has Gu Xi done? He has actually triggered a rearrangement of the Heavenly Great Dao!"

The Three Pure Ones, Zhen Yuanzi, Fuxi, Old Ancestor Minghe, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Di Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, and many other Great Supernatural Beings felt the changes in the Heavenly Great Dao, their expressions shifting to shock one after another.

It was an indescribable shock!

Such a thing had not even been achieved when Nuwa attained the Dao and became a Saint!

A God and Demon Dao Lord was actually capable of causing the Heavenly Great Dao to rearrange...

This was simply insane!
