The Taiji Diagram trembled for a moment, and the area was immediately concealed. Nothing from the outside world could be seen.
The Chaos was filled with countless unknowns. Shen Lang did not want his True Body plucked away by some unknown lifeform while he was returning to the Primordial World.
After setting up some basic defenses, Shen Lang finally began to connect with the empty shell of his Primordial Spirit that he had left in the Primordial World.
Shen Lang had already experimented with traveling back and forth through his True Spirit, so naturally, there were no problems.
--
The Primordial World, Buzhou Mountain, the Innate Spirit Array of the former Three Lights Deep Water Pool.
At this moment, the only thing inside the spirit array was a humanoid Primordial Spirit sitting cross-legged on a stone platform, its interior completely hollow.
Suddenly, the humanoid Primordial Spirit opened its eyes.
Clearly, Shen Lang's True Spirit had already returned from the Chaos to the Primordial World and regained control of this Primordial Spirit body.
As soon as he returned to the Primordial World, Shen Lang sensed the malice of Heaven and Earth.
"It still hasn't dissipated?"
Shen Lang shook his head as he spoke. The malice of Heaven and Earth grew even denser, clearly because the Heavenly Dao had discovered Shen Lang's return.
"There's no need to welcome me like this. I'm only back to take care of something. I won't..."
But at that moment, Shen Lang's eyes flickered slightly, because the malice of Heaven and Earth suddenly vanished, withdrawing completely in an instant.
What's going on? Shen Lang furrowed his brows.
However, a moment later, an immense and terrifying pressure descended from Heaven and Earth, as if it were going to suppress all living things and force them to submit!
Even Shen Lang's Primordial Spirit swayed, as though it were about to shatter.
Not long afterward, a resounding voice came from the Unknown Land and spread throughout the entire Primordial World.
"I am Hongjun. Today, I have attained the Dao. I shall now bear the responsibility of preaching throughout the Primordial World."
"Three thousand years from now, I shall preach the Dao in the Purple Firmament Palace within the Chaos. All those with affinity may come and listen!"
The voice lingered for a long time. Shen Lang, inside the Innate Spirit Array, frowned and said, "That old fossil became a Saint?"
When he thought about how the Heavenly Dao had still been suppressing Hongjun when he left the Primordial World, he remembered that he had even tricked Hongjun back then.
Then again, at that time, Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao had been inexplicably fighting each other.
So now that Hongjun had attained the Dao and become a Saint, was he an agent of the Heavenly Dao, or was he acting of his own accord?
While pondering this question, Shen Lang reopened the Myriad Worlds Simulator and immediately began scanning for players.
Little did he know that Hongjun, having become a Saint, had already entered the Chaos. Since he had made his announcement, he naturally had to build his own Purple Firmament Palace.
By an extraordinary coincidence, as Hongjun searched the Chaos for a site for the Purple Firmament Palace, he accidentally headed in the direction where Shen Lang had established himself.
[Unfortunately, the flowers still haven't broken ten thousand! It will go on sale at midnight tonight. I humbly ask everyone to support me with a subscription then!]
Chapter Fifty-Seven: Invite Houtu Again, Sun God Xihe, Meeting in the Chaos! [Seeking First Subscription]
Hongjun had gone to the Chaos to choose a site for his Purple Firmament Palace, so Shen Lang naturally had no idea.
Although he was surprised that Hongjun had become a Saint, Shen Lang did not take it too seriously. After all, he was not in the Primordial World at present.
Besides, his True Body, the Chaos Green Lotus, was nearing maturity.
Once the Chaos Green Lotus matured, it would be the day Shen Lang took human form. By then, he might even be able to directly attain the Primal Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm!
At that time, it would still be uncertain who was stronger or weaker!
Of course, during this period, Shen Lang first had to figure out how to cultivate his Three Thousand Laws Body.
But that could wait until he returned to the Chaos. For now, he should invite players to conduct simulations.
Perhaps the two new players this time would obtain something good for him in the Myriad Worlds Simulator, or provide him with some relevant inspiration.
[Searching for players within a trillion li who can be invited. Please wait...] [The scan for inviteable players within a trillion li is complete! (As the host's strength increases, the search range can increase accordingly.)] [This scan found 1 SSS-rank player, 1 S-rank player, 323 A-Rank players, 54,434 B-Rank players, 6,187,923 C-Rank players, ** D-Rank players, ** E-Rank players, and **3 F-Rank players.] [Current number of inviteable players: 2 (As the host's strength increases, the number of inviteable players will increase accordingly.)] [The survival time of players is related to the rewards obtained by the host. Please carefully review player information and choose cautiously!]
Seeing the scan results, Shen Lang immediately frowned.
The scan range had increased a thousandfold, yet the number of high-level players it found had actually decreased!
There was only one SSS-rank player!
There was also only one S-rank player!
The numbers of A-Rank and B-Rank players had not even increased by much compared to the last scan!
Could those SSS-rank and S-rank players be Nuwa and Fuxi? If so, then this scan was a complete waste!
With that thought, Shen Lang hurriedly opened the information panels for those two ranks.
Since there was only one player in each of the two ranks, they appeared on the same screen, one on the left and one on the right.
[Name: Houtu] [Identity: Innate Divine Being] [Origin: Transformed from the blood essence of Pangu, the World-Opener] [Realm: Peak Great Principle Golden Immortal] [Rating: SSS] [Current Status: Available to invite] [Name: Xihe] [Identity: Innate Divine Being] [Origin: Transformed from the spirit of the Sun Star] (This novel's setting is that Xihe is the Sun God, Wang Shu is the Moon God, and there is no Chang Xi. This is required by the plot; they are not rabbits, toads, or anything like that.) [Realm: Late Stage Great Principle Golden Immortal] [Rating: SS-Rank] [Current Status: Available to invite]
Shen Lang looked at the two information panels, delight appearing in his eyes.
They were not Nuwa and Fuxi, but the Ancestral Witch Houtu, whom he had just found, and the Sun God Xihe!
Come to think of it, Nuwa and Fuxi were not here. Where had they gone?
As soon as this thought appeared in Shen Lang's mind, he instantly thought of Hongjun's recent attainment of Sainthood.
Hongjun had become a Saint. With such a major event, they had most likely gone out as well!
To a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, a trillion li was merely the distance of one or two casual teleportations.
Not good!
What if these two left as well?
During the previous search and invitation, Houtu had left the invitation range at the final moment. That was why Shen Lang had chosen Tongtian.
Thus, Shen Lang immediately sent an invitation to Houtu.
After taking another look at the Sun God Xihe, Shen Lang hesitated for a moment before sending her an invitation as well.
Although Xihe was only an S-rank player, she was still quite good. If he was too slow, perhaps even the S-rank player would be gone.
Both invitations were sent successfully, and no further accidents occurred.
Shen Lang let out a sigh of relief. He was hesitating over whether to go out and wander around the Primordial World when his expression suddenly changed!
Through the clear connection between his Primordial Spirits and the Innate Supreme Treasure, he discovered that a powerful fluctuation was approaching his True Body!
The next moment, the humanoid Primordial Spirit returned to the stone platform, while Shen Lang's True Spirit quickly returned to the Chaos!
--
Buzhou Mountain, at the foot of the mountain, lay an incomparably vast region.
There were many burly men in this area, and the women were also powerfully built.
A dark-red divine temple stood in the very center.
This was the ancestral land of the Witch Race, and that divine temple was the birthplace of the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the other innate ancestral witches.
It was the Pangu Temple, transformed from the heart of Great God Pangu!
At this moment, twelve towering figures stood in the void, gazing toward the Nine Heavens above.
They were Di Jiang, Jumang, Zhu Rong, Ru Shou, Gong Gong, Qiang Liang, Xuan Ming, Zhu Jiuyin, She Bi Shi, Xi Zi, Tian Wu, and Houtu!
Every one of them was tall and powerfully built. Only the two women, Xuan Ming and Houtu, drew particular attention with their graceful figures.
The sound of Hongjun's attainment of the Dao had naturally reached the ears of the Twelve Ancestral Witches as well.
In fact, they had nearly been forced to their knees by that overwhelming Saintly might just moments ago. As a result, none of their expressions looked very good.
