Heaven collapsed and earth sank, the Saints came to the rescue
The pillars supporting the Firmament... have collapsed!
At this moment, all Primordial World Living Beings, whether gods, demons, or mortals, and no matter where they were, felt that the world had lost its balance!
Above the Nine Heavens, a huge hole appeared in the barrier of pure spiritual energy that was supported by the celestial pillars!
Boundless Chaos Qi, the Nine Heavens Weak Water, and countless Falling Star Fragments, like a raging torrent that has found an outlet, began to pour wildly down from this enormous hole!
Pangu Hall, all the Ancestral Witch suddenly opened their eyes, their relaxed and nonchalant expressions instantly replaced by horror, disbelief, and a sense of impending doom!
"No--!!!" Dijiang roared, his eyes wide with rage.
"The Heavenly Pillar... the backbone of the Father God!" The other Ancestral Witch turned ashen-faced.
"It's over..." The River of Time in Zhujiuyin's eyes turbulently. He saw endless chaos and Destruction surging in the river of the future, casting a shadow over the future of the Witch Clan.
Meanwhile, Di Jun, far away in the Sun God Palace, was gazing down towards the mortal realm, pondering the progress of matters concerning Fuxi.
Suddenly, a cataclysmic tremor struck, causing the entire Heavenly Court to shake violently!
Di Jun suddenly looked up in the direction of Buzhou, his pupils contracted sharply, and his face showed no joy at the success of his plan, only horror and a trace of bewilderment.
"The Heavenly Pillar... has fallen?"
He never expected that this internal strife, which he orchestrated and which was fueled by the Saint, would actually ignite such a terrifying fire, and what was ultimately destroyed... was the very pillar of the Primordial World!
Even Empress Houtu, deep within the Youming and in the Hall of Reincarnation, opened her eyes the instant the pillar of heaven collapsed, sensing the dramatic change in the world.
At the same time, I also sensed the disappearance of my two Elder Brothers' vital energy.
A sudden surge of intense emotion welled up within her. She was filled with rage. When she and Hongjun first collaborated, one of the conditions they agreed upon was that the Ancestral Witch would be safe and sound during the Great Tribulation.
However, before the Great Tribulation had even passed, the other party broke their promise and attacked the Ancestral Witch.
It's impossible for the power of the Three Pure Ones to deceive Houtu, the Lord of Reincarnation; Hongjun must have been involved.
The two Ancestral Witch of the Witch Clan were the obvious culprits in this collapse of the Heavenly Pillar, but they have already suffered the backlash and perished as a result. The Fortune of the Witch Clan will also plummet as a result of this incident, and their prestige will inevitably begin to decline thereafter.
On the other hand, the Heavenly Pillar is the pillar that stabilizes heaven and earth, and it is also the source of the Earth Veins and Spirit Vein of the Primordial Desolation Earth. Any damage to it will cause great harm to the Earthly Dao's way, which is probably one of the purposes of the Heavenly Dao.
Houtu couldn't help but sigh. Cooperating with Hongjun was truly like asking a tiger for its skin!
However, she will definitely demand an explanation from the other party regarding this matter.
Just as Houtu was contemplating these matters, disaster struck.
With the collapse of the Buzhou Heavenly Pillar, the Primordial Desolation World lost its most important pillar of balance.
The Thirty-Three Heavens of the Heavenly Realm were the first to be affected.
The highest Celestial Palace were in turmoil and collapsed one after another.
The Heavenly River Dam shook violently, and the Law Chains protecting the star field broke in the violent collision.
The majestic palaces collapsed in large sections, and the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, Immortal Official, and maids who had no time to escape were smashed into mincemeat or swept into Space Rift in horror.
The once magnificent Heavenly Court was now filled with wails and the rumble of collapse; the celestial paradise had been reduced to rubble and pools of blood. Even more terrifying, the outlet of the Heavenly River's Weak Water began to expand uncontrollably!
The immediate consequence of the collapse of the pillar of heaven was that the Firmament lost its support and was smashed into a huge hole!
The hole was located directly opposite the vast and boundless Heavenly River!
The Nine Heavens Weak Water, imbued with the spirit of destruction and capable of dissolving all things, instantly found an outlet!
At first it flowed like a waterfall, but then it rapidly expanded, turning into a massive flood that engulfed everything!
The dark gray Weak Water Heaven-Opening, carrying with it the shattered ruins and debris of the Heavenly Realm, and poured madly down upon the Primordial Desolation Earth like a sea of destruction!
The Weak Water is no ordinary water; even a tiny drop will obscure one's spiritual light and dissipate one's true essence.
If one is submerged by it, the Primordial Spirit the living being will dissipate and the Physical Body will turn into nothingness.
In an instant, countless regions in the central part of the Primordial Desolation Earth were turned into Marshland.
Where the Weak Water flows, trees wither and melt away, mountains are eroded and dissolved, and countless prosperous tribes and towns are swallowed up in an instant.
Mortal beings with low cultivation levels, plant spirits, and Bird Tribe that couldn't escape were reduced to ashes in large swaths.
Sorrow and despair instantly filled the Primordial Desolation Earth.
The earth's turbid air intertwined with the yin energy of the Weak Water, forming an even more filthy torrent.
The Earth Veins, which had been initially stabilized due to the Development of the Way of Earth, were once again violently impacted, causing the spiritual energy nodes to become disordered and the foundation of the earth to be shaken.
This is yet another Destruction blow to the Primordial Desolation World following the "Ten Suns in the Sky"!
The Primordial Desolation World has fallen into an unprecedented crisis; heaven and earth weep, and all living beings wail in despair!
However, at this critical moment when the world was about to collapse and Order was about to break down, the Six Paths supreme and boundless figures simultaneously appeared in the Primordial World Firmament!
The newcomers were none other than the Six Saints of the Heavenly Dao: Taiqing Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun of Yuqing, Sect Master Tongtian of Shangqing, Empress Nuwa, Daoist Jieyin, and Daoist Zhunti!
Taiqing Laozi's face was as calm as a still pond, Taiji Diagram in his hand shone brightly as it flew towards the Firmament!
"Stay still!" A soft shout seemed to contain the Great Dao.
The Taiji Diagram transformed into a dazzling golden bridge, instantly extending for millions of miles, firmly blocking the largest hole in the Firmament!
The endless torrent of the Nine Heavens Weak Water and Spatial Fragments was firmly blocked on the Primordial Desolation Earth by the golden bridge that circulated the Yin-Yang Two Energies!
The Golden Bridge was as solid as Panshi. Although it trembled slightly, it became the most crucial first line of defense against the world-destroying flood!
The Yuanshi Tianzun's face was ashen, Jade Ruyi in his hand radiated a clear light. "Support the Heavens!"
The Daoist Jieyin sighed with compassion, Twelve-grade Merit Golden Lotus shone with countless rays of light, transforming into a gigantic lotus platform that covered half the Firmament: "Solidify the Earth!"
The Daoist Zhunti wielded his Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, and countless rays of seven-colored light descended. "Fill the gap!"
Empress Nuwa frowned slightly, raised her fair hand, and slowly unfolded the Map of Mountains and Rivers. The phantom of the boundless Primordial Desolation Earth and its mountains and rivers appeared, and together with the Taiji Diagram and golden bridge, it suppressed the chaotic Earth Qi, regulated the flow of floodwaters, and greatly reduced the damage of the Heavenly River Weak Water to the foundation of the earth.
With the Taiji Diagram blocking the biggest gap, the other four Saint joined forces to use their supreme divine Divine Ability to stabilize the remaining torn parts of the Firmament, prevent more Weak Water from flowing out, and at the same time support the Primordial World Firmament that was about to collapse after losing the Buzhou Heavenly Pillar!
Following the actions of the Six Saints of the Heavenly Dao, the Saint of the Earthly Dao and their Saint also made their moves.
Wuzhuang Temple Daxian walked out of the Quiet Room of Great Immortal Zhen Yuan on Longevity Mountain with a solemn expression.
"Alas... such Great Tribulation... Earth Scroll, open!" He sighed, and the holy light of the Earth Earthly Dao flowed around him. The Earth Scroll in his hand, shining brightly, unfolded in the wind, covering the universe!
Buzz--!
With the Earth Fetal Membrane at its core, the network of Mountain Gods, land spirits, and Earth Spirit Network that permeated the Primordial World was simultaneously activated!
Billions of rays of mysterious light rose from the Earth Vein Node, forming a Yellow Earth Network that covered the Primordial World!
"All Earth Immortal, follow my will, divert the Weak Water, and safeguard the Earth Veins!" Zhenyuanzi's voice was majestic.
The Mountain Gods and Earth Gods mobilized the power of the earth with all their might, and under Zhenyuanzi's precise guidance, forcibly carved out countless deep and wide temporary waterways on the land. Like dredging blood vessels, they tried their best to guide the destructive torrents of Weak Water to the existing main waterways of the Primordial World, as well as the reserved low-lying and abandoned lands, avoiding areas with dense populations of living beings.
Meanwhile, the Earth Spirit are also doing their best to stabilize the Earth Vein Node and repair the damage caused by the cataclysmic upheaval.
Countless Mountain Gods and Earth Gods Incarnation to protect the nearby creatures and relocate them to higher ground.
The Ancestor Minghe sat atop the Twelve-grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, manifesting above the Blood Sea.
Facing the flood of Weak Water, he coldly pointed to the depths of the Blood Sea: "Asura Race, heed my command!"
Activate the Blood Sea Whirlpool to absorb and dissolve the poisonous water that has fallen into the Blood Sea! Protect the foundation of the Asura Path!
The entire Blood Sea, with a massive Whirlpool devouring the approaching Weak Water and filthy currents.
The Ziwei Star Lord manifested in the Netherworld Starry Sky, sensing the commotion in the Primordial World, and issued orders to make arrangements.
"All Stars, heed my command! May your starlight illuminate all, calm the souls, dispel evil spirits, Jieyin the Departed Souls!"
Billions of starlight pierced through the barriers of the Nine Netherworlds, showering upon the ordinary dead suffering from calamities and the creatures harmed by the Weak Water, calming their terrified and scattered souls and neutralizing the Yin energy of the Weak Water.
At the same time, it guides the souls of the many beings who died in this calamity, helping them to enter the Reincarnation in an orderly manner.
The Mount Tai Prefecture Lord manifested his divine power at the Eastern Peak, his majestic Dharma Form proclaiming. "All people, heed my command! Emerge from the gates of the Youming, assist the Earth Scroll in guiding the floods, and shelter and protect all living beings on this earth!"
With the Ghost Gate Pass wide open, the power of the Ghost Dao surges forth, assisting the Earth Scroll in constructing spatial channels at specific junctures, diverting the excessively turbulent Weak Water energy from the Primordial Desolation Earth to the depths of the Youming for temporary sealing.
The Great Emperor Fengdu stood atop the Fengdu Ghost City, with boundless Yin energy surging forth. "All underworld officials, heed my command! Stabilize the Order of the Underworld and do your utmost to Jieyin souls into the Underworld!"
The Six Saints of the Heavenly Dao support the Firmament and seal the breaches; Zhenyuanzi of Earthly Dao and the four reserve Saint, Minghe, Ziwei, Mount Tai Prefecture Lord, and Great Emperor Fengdu, Divine Ability powers to regulate the Earth Veins, guide the Weak Water, and protect living beings.
An unprecedented large-scale collaborative disaster relief operation is underway.
The sky is temporarily supported by sacred objects such as the Taiji Diagram, and the source of the largest Weak Water torrent has been blocked. However, the hole in the Firmament still exists, and the remaining Weak Water is still leaking. The Four Directions and Dimensions of heaven and earth, having lost the pillar of Buzhou Heavenly Pillar, are extremely unstable and may collapse a second time at any time.
The Saint all knew that merely plugging the leak was only treating the symptoms, not the root cause.
In the central area of Taiji Diagram's golden bridge, a temporary Daoist Dao Field was created in the void.
The projections of the Six Saints of the Heavenly Dao and the various figures of Earthly Dao gathered here, creating a solemn and dignified Middle Qi.
Laozi, being the most senior and accomplished among them, spoke first, "Blocking is not as good as dredging, and dredging is not as good as repairing. The Buzhou has been destroyed; we must rebuild the pillars that support the sky and mend the holes in the Firmament."
The Yuanshi Tianzun spoke up, his tone authoritative. "The celestial cave needs mending, and its supports need erection; neither can be lacking. Fellow Daoist Nuwa, you are skilled in the Way of Creation; the task of Mending the Heavens is best left to you."
He looked at Nuwa.
Empress Nuwa nodded slightly. "I shall refine the materials to Mending the Heavens, but the divine materials required are extraordinary."
The Sect Master Tongtian then spoke up, saying:
The pillar of heaven collapsed, and the Primordial Desolation Origin was damaged.
Those things that can support the heavens must contain boundless essence and unyielding Laws.
I observe that in the Northern Deep Sea, there may be extraordinary beings.
He recalled the ancient and profound energy he had sensed when he explored the boundary of the Chaos Fetal Membrane years ago.
The Jieyin looked distressed:
Mending the Heavens and supporting the sky are both acts of immeasurable Merit.
However, the Primordial World has suffered a severe blow and its vitality has been greatly diminished. We must act quickly, lest further unforeseen circumstances arise.
Zhenyuanzi immediately replied:
I will do my utmost to assist Empress Nuwa in collecting the necessary divine materials, and will also provide the Earth Origin to support the heavens.
At the same time, the Earth Immortal lineage will do its utmost to stabilize the mountains and Earth Veins, dredge the remaining floodwaters, and protect the Primordial World Living Beings.
The group quickly reached a consensus and clarified their roles.
With the resolution made, the Saint and their forces began to take action.
The Empress Nuwa collected enough Five-Colored Divine Stone from Beyond Heaven; however, the stones were extremely stubborn and difficult to smelt.
So she bowed to the heavens and said, "Disciple Nuwa wishes to refine Five-Colored Stone to Mending the Heavens, and hopes that Master will bestow upon me the Qiankun Cauldron for my use."
As soon as the words were spoken, the Qiankun Cauldron flew down from the sky.
This cauldron is a sacred artifact of creation, ranking among the Innate Supreme Treasure, and is capable of melting Five-Colored Stone.
After Nuwa thanked the Dao Ancestor, he waved his hands and chanted a mantra. " From the Primordial Desolation Origin, from which all things are born, the Five Elements colors, heed my command! Gather!"
At her summons, endless Essence of the Five Elements, including Primordial World Rare Stones and Divine Ore containing the primordial essences of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, were drawn out from all parts of the earth, between the Stars, and at the bottom of the deep sea by the great power of the Great Dao, like billions of rainbow torrents, Traversing Space-time to converge into the Qiankun Cauldron.
The abundant Earthly Dao energy and Nuwa's own divine light of creation poured into the cauldron, beginning to refine the gathered Five Elements Treasures and the collected Five-Colored Divine Stone.
The cauldron spouts forth dazzling light, illuminating the heavens.
The refining of the Five-Colored Stone requires a massive amount of divine materials and immense holy power; it cannot be accomplished overnight and will take some time.
On the other side, the four Saint Laozi, Yuanshi, Jieyin, Zhunti occupy the four poles of the Firmament. They have joined forces near the breach in the Firmament to stabilize the entire Heavenly Realm, which is about to become unbalanced.
The Taiji Diagram's golden bridge is positioned at the most broken point in the center. The clear light of the Jade Ruyi reinforces its structure and Spatial Nodes. The Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus spreads a peaceful Buddha Light, calming the turbulent Spatial Turbulence were violently torn apart by the broken celestial pillar. The Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree scatters seven-colored rays of light, like an invisible adhesive, repairing the broken edges of the Firmament and blocking all Chaos Aura and residual Weak Water that try to penetrate.
The four Saints, like four invisible giant pillars, supported this broken sky, bearing immense pressure.
The Sect Master Tongtian Leader acted swiftly and decisively. Once he had the direction, he took a step and his figure disappeared into the Spatial Tunnel, heading straight for the Northern Deep Sea, the northernmost point of Northernmost Point of Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang, where yin and yang meet.
According to his calculations, only in the depths of the ancient Sea Region in the Northern Sea, which is on the verge of Chaos and has experienced the Heaven-Opening, could there exist an ancient being capable of withstanding the Primordial World pressure of the primordial era and possessing the qualities to support the heavens.
Under the leadership of Zhenyuanzi, the people of the Earthly Dao also steadily carried out various tasks such as rescuing living beings, clearing the Earth Veins, draining floods, and Jieyin the Departed Souls.
The rescue efforts for this unprecedented catastrophe have only just begun.
