A soundless roar suddenly erupted, seemingly originating from beyond reality in the deep void, like the sound of the Great Dao vibrating into existence.

In an instant, a continuous stream of black energy bloomed from above Buzhou Mountain.

Within moments, the area around Buzhou Mountain transformed into absolute darkness. All laws were repelled, all daos were cast aside, so dark it was heart-stopping, so dark it was terrifying.

Through the haze, one could vaguely discern a faintly visible portal slowly emerging within that darkness.

Ancient, immortal, mysterious, forbidden!

It was as if it reflected the very source, and no matter where one was in the Primordial Era, they could see this portal by looking up.

Even a single glance would make one's heart race, would make one feel dazed, as if countless whispers filled their ears, full of temptation, full of strangeness.

One glance seemed to reveal all endings, seemed to reveal all destruction, endless, silent, annihilation.

"FOR! BID! DEN! DOOR!"

As if divinely inspired, all living beings understood.

This was the Gate of Taboo!!!

Because Tang Xuan flipped the table, because Tang Xuan produced the Imprint of Myriad Laws, the Gate of Taboo became restless, its projection directly manifesting!

Could it remain calm?

Their home was being robbed, their home was being robbed, the tables were turned!

The Gate of Taboo had always been the one stealing the essence of reality, the Gate of Taboo had always been the one tempting all beings.

But now, all beings were going to steal the essence of the Gate of Taboo, all beings were going to tempt the Gate of Taboo.

This was simply defying heaven!

How could the Gate of Taboo possibly remain calm?

"Did I, this seat, ask you to come out?"

In the void, the phantom of an endless river contracted madly, Tang Xuan's expression was indifferent as he gradually walked out of the void.

Looking calmly at the Gate of Taboo, Tang Xuan said in a deep voice, "Go back... where you came from!"

"BOOM!!!"

He extended a hand, as if covering the sky and earth, crossing infinite distances, the entire Primordial Era seemed to be gathered into Tang Xuan's hand.

The status of the River of Myriad Laws and the River of Myriad Treasures were both amplified. In the blur, one could vaguely see a chaotic phantom appearing behind Tang Xuan.

Chaos Bead, amplified!

The vast Primordial Era seemed to tremble slightly at this moment, as if it could not bear it.

And within the scope of Tang Xuan's palm, the essence of the Gate of Taboo was being madly plundered by Tang Xuan, madly refined by Tang Xuan.

Since he wanted the beings of the Primordial Era to steal the essence of the Gate of Taboo, he naturally had to... teach them on the spot!

"¥%……&*¥#."

The Gate of Taboo was furious. Countless phantoms clawed and writhed as if trying to burst out of the Gate of Taboo.

In terms of status, the Gate of Taboo was naturally not low, but this was not its true body, merely a projected manifestation. Furthermore, the end of this Primordial Era had not yet arrived, and the strange beings within the Gate of Taboo could not break free.

Not to mention its status being suppressed by Tang Xuan, it could only feel stifled and indignant, utterly unable to resist.

"We shall withdraw from the Primordial..."

Whispers sounded from within the Gate of Taboo. Before they could finish speaking, they were directly struck by Tang Xuan's fist.

"Did I, this seat, say you could withdraw? Go back to the Primordial Era and honestly... stay put!"

"BOOM!!!"

The projection of the Gate of Taboo was forcibly suppressed by Tang Xuan.

Or rather, realizing that Tang Xuan was madly plundering its essence and that negotiation was impossible, the Gate of Taboo could only dejectedly and angrily disperse on its own.

Dream on!

Stay honestly on the Primordial Continent, honestly be a laborer for me, let me... reap the benefits!

Did the Gate of Taboo want to tempt living beings? Then keep tempting them, who told them to leave.

Effective immediately, the 'Universal Creation Project' is officially launched. If anyone has questions, there will be Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortals like Hongjun stationed here, and the Heavenly Dao will also provide assistance for your creation.

Withdrawing his fist, under the bright, eager gazes of all beings, Tang Xuan stood with his hands behind his back and said with authority.

His wings were now full, and he would officially step onto the stage!

"This humble Daoist also has a projection of the Gate of Taboo in hand. In tens of millions of years, when the time for preaching arrives, this humble Daoist will teach on the spot, imparting to you all how to better steal the essence of the Gate of Taboo."

Hongjun said loudly.

Preaching about the Immortal Dao?

Of course, he had to preach about it.

However, teaching about the Gate of Taboo was also something that could be taught. This time, this was called teaching according to aptitude and adapting to circumstances!

"Gate of Taboo!"

As expected, the spirits of all living beings perked up, and their eyes once again showed deep envy.

Truly worthy of being a Sage, to possess the Gate of Taboo! They wanted it too! They wanted to reap benefits too!

They had clearly seen the River God senior reaping benefits just now.

Even Luohu and the others frowned, secretly cursing why Hongjun got all the good fortune.

No, they also had to think of a way to obtain the Gate of Taboo. Otherwise, wouldn't Hongjun's growth speed increase even faster with the Gate of Taboo?

"..."

Sensing everyone's gazes, Hongjun felt a momentary daze.

Yes, this feeling was truly indescribable.

If it were in the past, he would never have imagined that the Gate of Taboo, which he had always been wary of, could actually become his... opportunity?

This was truly infuriating.

"The Great Dao, born from the River, all Daos draw their source from the River and transform into it."

"In the vastness of all worlds, origins arise and perish; those who find me shall attain creation."

A voice, drifting and ethereal, echoed between heaven and earth. With all matters concluded, Tang Xuan saw no reason to stay any longer. As the voice spoke, his figure gradually faded and dispersed.

"We respectfully bid farewell to River God senior."

Hongjun and the others bowed deeply.

"We respectfully bid farewell to River God senior."

All living beings bowed at the same time.

Wanshou Mountain, in the Five Zhuang Temple.

"What happened?"

"Zhen Yuanzi, why was the disturbance at your place so great?"

"What's going on!?"

Voices reached Zhen Yuanzi's ears one after another.

"Master, is this related to the Gate of Taboo?"

Zhen Yuanzi licked his lips and asked tentatively.

"..."

The voices abruptly stopped, as if startled by Zhen Yuanzi's words.

"Master, it's an opportunity, a great opportunity! If you have the Gate of Taboo, you can steal its origin!"

Zhen Yuanzi said quickly.

"???"

The owner of the voice.

Kunlun Mountain, in the Bixiao Palace.

"Father God, this River God senior seems to have no tricks up his sleeve, and is incredibly powerful, terrifying, and unfathomable."

Shangqing said, scratching his head.

"..."

The blurry figure sitting cross-legged on the lotus pedestal remained silent, merely continuing to be quiet, as if the amount of information Tang Xuan had provided was too much for him to process.

"Father God, the reason you survived, and the reason for the creation of heaven and earth back then, could it be related to the Gate of Taboo?"

Shangqing asked again.

"Shangqing, what are you talking about? Father God is old and is about to die. This is just a wisp of remnant soul. How could I have survived, and how could I be related to the Gate of Taboo?"

"Father God's only wish now is to cultivate you into a talent, so that you can continue to guard the Primordial Era in Father God's stead,"

The blurry figure sighed and said slowly.

"Father God, to be honest, this child also wants to improve and wants to serve the Gate of Taboo. Can you help this child contact the Gate of Taboo? This child wishes to pledge allegiance to Them."

Shangqing said earnestly.

"..."

The blurry figure.

Pledge allegiance?

I don't even want to expose you.

Is that truly pledging allegiance?

You are clearly coveting the Gate of Taboo, clearly plotting against the Gate of Taboo!

"Shangqing, Father God truly doesn't know anything about the Gate of Taboo. This wisp of Father God's remnant soul has been too depleted and needs to slumber. We'll discuss it again after Father God awakens."

The blurry figure sighed, speaking with what seemed like immense helplessness.

After speaking, the blurry figure gradually faded, eventually dissipating completely.

He really needs to sort things out and think carefully.

Seeing this, Shangqing pouted, their eyes flashing. Shangqing pondered for a moment, then decided to find their elder and second brothers to discuss it thoroughly.

Meanwhile, in the Ancestral Witch Hall of Buzhou Mountain.

The twelve Ancestral Witches were practically rubbing their hands together, all expressing their desire to find the Gate of Taboo for Father God, wanting to use it to properly replenish him.

Ancestral Witches: Father God, while we are willing to protect the Primordial Era, we would be even happier if you were resurrected to protect it. Rest assured, leave it to us, we will definitely find the whereabouts of the Gate of Taboo!

Not only that, but the twelve Ancestral Witches also announced they would seek out the River God elder to see if he had any methods for resurrecting Father God.

"..."

The blurry figure felt exhausted, lost in a daze.

Wait, how did the atmosphere of the Primordial Era suddenly undergo such a drastic change?

Has the world turned upside down???

Madness!

Utter madness!

Even after Hongjun and the others departed, the atmosphere in the Primordial Era hadn't cooled down in the slightest; instead, it had become even more fervent!

All beings were filled with fighting spirit, all yearning, all desiring to find the Gate of Taboo.

Some even openly declared their willingness to pledge loyalty and submit to the Gate of Taboo, merely asking for its favor and an opportunity.

This statement immediately sparked inspiration in countless individuals, who then frantically sought ways to find the Gate of Taboo.

"..."

Gate of Taboo.

Oh no, I've become a hot commodity!

"..."

Blurry figure.

Damn it, the plan is completely ruined!

If you find this book good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.
