"Above, Heavenly Dao, I, Qiankun, am willing to lead Yin-Yang and Old Ancestor of Five Elements in perfecting the Primordial World, suppressing the order of Earth, Wind, Water, Fire, Heaven and Earth, and Yin-Yang within the Primordial World. Heavenly Dao, bear witness!"

"Above, Heavenly Dao, we have been influenced by Ancestor Qiankun and are willing to follow Ancestor Qiankun in suppressing the Primordial World's Earth, Wind, Water, Fire, Heaven and Earth, Yin-Yang, and Primordial World order with our Dao fruits. Before the order is perfected, we are willing to suppress it continuously. Heavenly Dao, bear witness!"

After briefly discussing and confirming their choices, Ancestor Qiankun, Old Ancestor of Five Elements, and Yin-Yang Ancestor shouted in unison.

Boom!!!

Heavenly Dao responded, and merits descended.

But Hongjun was already ice-cold all over, dizzy and disoriented, his gaze unfocused. Standing where he was, he was momentarily at a loss.

Oh no. Wasn't he supposed to be the greatest winner of the Dao and Demon struggle?

Had he... become a clown?

The Three Tribes had stopped fighting, Luohu had stopped causing trouble, and even the three ancestors were no longer getting involved. What was he supposed to do???

"It's already impossible to prove both the Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal and Heavenly Dao Sage realms at the same time. Since that's the case, I can only prove one first."

Gritting his teeth, Hongjun took a deep breath. After doing his best to calm himself, he decisively swore another oath, willing to maintain the operation of the Primordial World and assist Heavenly Dao in perfecting its order.

There had been too many unexpected changes, one after another. The appearance of Tang Xuan in particular had completely exceeded Hongjun's imagination, catching him entirely off guard.

His head was buzzing now. How could he have any plans left? He could only prove the Dao first and think about the rest later. Otherwise, he would truly fall behind.

Boom!!!

Primordial Violet Qi descended!

Hongjun began proving the Dao!

Luohu began proving the Dao!

Ancestral Dragon began proving the Dao!

Ancestor Qiankun began proving the Dao!

In an instant, the auras of the four erupted rapidly, as if they had reached the pinnacle of sublimation. The might belonging to Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortals and Heavenly Dao Sages swept across the universe and enveloped the Primordial World. Even the boundless Chaos outside the Primordial Continent seemed to be churning with monstrous waves.

"Today, I, Luohu, shall prove the Dao of Hunyuan and claim the position of Demon Ancestor."

"Today, I, Ancestral Dragon, shall prove the Dao of Hunyuan and claim the position of Dragon Ancestor."

"Today, I, Qiankun, shall prove the Dao of Hunyuan and claim the position of Ancestor Qian."

"Today, I, Hongjun, shall prove sainthood and claim the position of Dao Ancestor."

Four solemn, majestic, and mighty voices resounded throughout the Primordial World.

Under their might, all living beings prostrated themselves on the ground. Even the Primordial Formation could barely block the pressure. All the Primordial Era Beings cried out in celebration, congratulating Demon Ancestor, Dragon Ancestor, Ancestor Qian, and Dao Ancestor on proving the Dao and transcending.

Was it over?

Not yet!

Boom!!!

Above the East Sea, boundless merits rapidly gathered and formed countless golden merit lotuses that manifested throughout the universe. Amid Hongjun's livid expression, the boundless merits surged toward Tang Xuan, only to be completely collected by him.

Heavenly Dao had sensed that the Three Tribes had submitted, Luohu had been influenced, and the cooperation of the three ancestors had all changed because of Tang Xuan. Thus, it granted Tang Xuan merits as a reward!

Not just merits. At this very moment, within Tang Xuan's true spirit, the Wish Origin had already begun... to surge explosively!

"Many thanks, River God."

"Many thanks, River God."

"Many thanks, River God."

Those who had proven the Dao of Hunyuan, including Luohu and Ancestral Dragon, were not basking in their glory. Instead, they all looked grateful as they faced Tang Xuan, bowed deeply, and shouted. Only Hongjun was left standing there at a loss, the corner of his mouth twitching.

Damn it, if all of you thank him, what am I supposed to do? If I don't thank him, won't I look like I'm not part of the group? But if I do thank him, I've suffered such heavy losses and still have to say thanks?

"River God..."

The Primordial Era Beings murmured inwardly. Tang Xuan's figure had been deeply imprinted in everyone's minds, leaving them with an unforgettable and profound impression.

In the original course of events, had Hongjun really been the greatest winner of the Dragon-Han Calamity?

But now, someone else had taken that place.

Tang Xuan was the greatest winner!

The River God's name resounded throughout the Primordial World!

Because of Tang Xuan, the entire Primordial World was thrown into upheaval!!!

Although Tang Xuan merely stood quietly on the surface of the sea, he still made countless living beings feel mysterious and awe-inspiring, as if all the radiance in the world had focused on him.

Even though Tang Xuan had released no pressure or displayed any miraculous power, he still... shone with boundless brilliance!

Famous after one battle?

Famous after one battle!!!

This was the stage Tang Xuan wanted!

"From this day onward, whether the Primordial World is in chaos or not will be decided by me!"

Tang Xuan's eyes gleamed, and an almost imperceptible smile curved across his lips.

He could already imagine how terrifyingly fast the Wish Origin would increase from here on.

All his ideas, arrangements, and schemes would... finally be realized!!!

"A ripple rises in the eternal river, while the three thousand strands of weak water draw near."

"Those destined to meet me may obtain the opportunity I bestow."

His voice was ethereal and indescribably wondrous, like the manifestation of a Dao sound. Mysterious and profound, it faded away as Tang Xuan's figure gradually disappeared from the sight of all living beings.

"We respectfully send off the River God."

"We respectfully send off the River God."

Luohu and the others bowed first, followed by the Three Tribes. In the end, although Hongjun's expression was ugly and he was extremely unwilling—after all, this River God had caused him such heavy losses—he still had no choice but to bow as well.

"Haha, Hongjun, I'll be waiting for you in the Demon Realm. If you want a battle, I'll be happy to oblige at any time."

Luohu cast a teasing glance at Hongjun, then laughed loudly, opened the Demon Realm, and stepped inside. The Demon Race poured in after him.

He was feeling great!

"Hongjun, from now on, our Three Tribes will need your assistance in suppressing the Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire of the Primordial World."

After Ancestral Dragon finished speaking, he led the Three Tribes into the Chaos Realm together with Yuanfeng and Shi Qilin, laughing loudly.

Seeing Hongjun's ugly expression, they felt immensely satisfied!

"Hongjun, the three of us ancestors will remember this grudge."

Ancestor Qiankun gave Hongjun a cold look, snorted, opened a realm, and departed together with Old Ancestor of Five Elements and Yin-Yang Ancestor.

"..."

Hongjun.

Damn!!!

Who the hell is this River God?!

After taking a deep breath, Hongjun wore an expressionless face and tore open the void before leaving.

The Dragon-Han Calamity had ended, and Hunyuan had entered the world.

Although everything had settled, the shock it brought to all living beings clearly remained difficult to calm for a long time.

Whether it was the Three Tribes, Luohu who appeared afterward, Hongjun, or especially the River God Tang Xuan, all of them had left the Primordial Era Beings dazzled by the sheer volume of information.

The entire Primordial World... was seething beneath the surface!!!

"The Primordial World is about to change..."

Countless powerful experts and mighty beings across the Primordial World looked up. A blessing had reached them from the depths of their souls, and they all murmured to themselves as if they had sensed something vaguely.

Jade Capital Mountain.

Hongjun no longer maintained his calm demeanor. Instead, he entered the thatched cottage with a gloomy expression.

"Didn't you say that I would be able to prove the Dao of Hunyuan and also control the authority of Heavenly Dao? Why is everything... different from what you told me?"

Hongjun waved his hand and set up a barrier. His eyes were cold as he spoke heavily.

Boom!!!

A strange portal appeared behind Hongjun.
