The Sages Save the World! (Continued)

Bullying your best friend right in front of your own Houtu), do you really think you, the Earthly Dao Spokesperson, don't exist?

"Houtu Daoist Houtu, what do you mean?"

When Taiqing Laozi heard Houtu mention him in a sarcastic tone, he questioned her in a cold voice.

"Taiqing Laozi, what, you want to fight me?"

"Even if you did have the Heaven and Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, you're not qualified to fight me."

Houtu showed no respect to Taiqing Laozi; respect is something that needs to be proven by strength.

In terms of strength, Houtu's cultivation and magical power far surpass those of Taiqing Laozi.

In terms of status, Houtu is the Earthly Dao Spokesperson, on the same level as Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and one level above Taiqing Laozi.

Houtu's domineering nature put Taiqing Laozi in a difficult position.

Just then, the voice of Dao Ancestor Hongjun came from the Purple Cloud Palace:

"Stop arguing!"

"Saving the world is the priority!"

Normally, Dao Ancestor Hongjun wouldn't be afraid of the saints causing trouble, but now, during the Great Calamity of the Primordial World, when the Primordial World is at its weakest, the saints absolutely cannot allow internal strife.

"I will obey Master Hongjun's Imperial Decree!"

As soon as Dao Ancestor Hongjun spoke, the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Nuwa, Jieyin and Zhunti all bowed and paid their respects.

Houtu did not bow, because she was the Earthly Dao Spokesperson and Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the Heavenly Dao Spokesperson.

Nuwa glanced at Bai Chen, her eyes seeming to say:

Little White, shall we proceed to the next step immediately?

After Bai Chen Nuwa's meaning, Bai Chen nodded.

Nuwa brought out a small turtle, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

"A cultivation level at the Half-step Dao Proving, with a physical body comparable to the indestructible body of Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal."

"The four laws of Earth, Water, Wind, Fire have actually been cultivated to their ultimate level!"

"How strange! How strange!"

Houtu, the Three Pure Ones, and Jieyin and Zhunti, having seen through the situation of the North Sea Divine Turtle, were all extremely puzzled.

The Three Pure Ones Jieyin and Zhunti were quite puzzled. Where did Nuwa find such an abnormal Half-step Dao Proving?

Are these new reinforcements from the demon race?

The Three Pure Ones, Jieyin and Zhunti estimated that if the North Sea Divine Turtle joined the demon race, and if the Witch Clan did not use Pangu True Body, the North Sea Divine Turtle could sweep through the Witch Clan.

Compared to the Three Pure Ones Jieyin and Zhunti, Houtu had already guessed the identity of the North Sea Divine Turtle; it was most likely the new Heavenly Pillar.

"North Sea Divine Turtle, you know what to do now, right?"

"As for what I and Little White promised you, we will never go back on our word!"

Nuwa stared at the North Sea Divine Turtle in her hand, indicating that it was time for it to get to work.

"This humble Daoist thanks the Empress Nuwa!"

After receiving Nuwa's promise, the North Sea Divine Turtle was relieved.

Then the North Sea Divine Turtle flew out from Nuwa's hand, revealing its true form. The North Sea Divine Turtle's body, which blotted out the sky and whose pupils were like the sun and moon, appeared on the Primordial World.

"Wow, it's huge!"

Although Bai Chen had seen the true form of the North Sea Divine Turtle before, he still couldn't help but sigh upon seeing it again.

When Nuwa heard Bai Chen's remark, she assumed Bai Chen was envious and was about to comfort the cat, but the cat's next words left her extremely embarrassed.

Tears welled up in Bai Chen's eyes and, as if possessed, he said:

"If I were to use it to make soup, I don't know how long it would take me to finish it."

Nuwa's face darkened, and she lifted Bai Chen off her shoulder, saying:

"Little White, all you know is eating?"

Bai Chen's behavior made Nuwa feel very embarrassed. People who didn't know the situation might think that she was abusing the cat and not letting it eat.

Nuwa had a slight suspicion that if the North Sea Divine Turtle wasn't the new Heavenly Pillar under the Great Dao's Destiny, this cat would probably have eaten it.

The North Sea Divine Turtle mobilized all its magical power and the power of laws, channeling it into its limbs.

As the body of the North Sea Divine Turtle North Sea Divine Turtle to dissipate, only its limbs and shell remained.

Nuwa took the limbs and shell of the North Sea Divine Turtle. She sensed Primordial Spirit True Spirit of the North Sea Divine Turtle's primordial spirit within the shell, so she put the shell away.

Nuwa then placed the four limbs of the North Sea Divine Turtle into the Qian Kun Cauldron, added some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and began the refining process.

As time passed, four divine lights shot into the sky from within the Qian Kun Cauldron.

"The four pillars of heaven, stand firm!"

Nuwa formed a hand seal, and four divine lights flew out from the Qian Kun Cauldron, heading towards the four extremes of the Primordial World, transforming into four pillars of heaven.

"Earth, Water, Wind, Fire, Fire, settle!"

Nuwa then formed a hand seal, and the chaos of Earth, Water, Wind, Fire, and fire that had been stirred up before the Primordial World began to subside.

Although Nuwa had completed the process of Mending the Heavens, she did not stop.

"The Creation Immortal Cauldron!"

Nuwa retrieved the Creation Cauldron and unleashed it with all her might according to the Law of Creation, which manifested countless divine lights of creation.

The myriad divine lights of creation entered the four celestial pillars, absorbing the four elements of creation —Earth, Water, Wind, Fire, and fire—as well as the power of the four phases and four poles, and the power of the twenty-eight constellations, giving birth to four divine beasts.

The four divine beasts are the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise. The Azure Dragon and the White Tiger are essentially the Four Symbols and have no essential relation to the Dragon Clan or Tiger Clan.

"We have met the Empress Nuwa!"

After its descent into the world, the Azure Dragon bowed to Nuwa, the creator, in the Western Primordial Era.

"From this day forward, you four shall be the Four Saints, guarding the four pillars of heaven. You shall not leave without permission. Anyone who attempts to damage the four pillars of heaven shall be executed!"

Nuwa directly bestowed a sacred Imperial Decree upon the four Azure Dragons, stating that she created them to guard the four pillars of heaven.

"I will obey the Imperial Decree of the Empress Nuwa!"

After bowing and paying their respects to Nuwa at the four celestial pillars, the four Azure Dragons began to dutifully take up their posts.

With Nuwa having thoroughly cleaned everything up, this great calamity of the Primordial World era was completely over.

Just then, the Great Dao descended upon the Primordial World, bestowing upon it merits for saving the world. These merits entered the bodies of all those who participated in saving the world.

The North Sea Divine Turtle contributed half of its merit in saving the world, Nuwa contributed three and a half percent, Houtu contributed one and a half percent, Bai Chen contributed half, and the Twelve Ancestor Witches.

The Sect Master Tongtian Zhunti 15% of the merit, Jieyin Yuanshi Tianzun and Taiqing Laozi, Zhunti, and Jieyin each received 5%.

The half-achievement of the North Sea Divine Turtle disappeared into its shell, causing the remaining primordial Primordial Spirit True Spirit of the North Sea Divine Turtle within the shell to revive and transform into a black-robed Daoist.

After the North Sea Divine Turtle transformed, even though it was only in the state of Primordial Spirit True Spirit and without a physical body, it was overjoyed.

Previously, its enormous size had a significant impact on the North Sea Divine Turtle, forcing it to remain asleep most of the time.

Now that he can take human form, he can also travel through the Primordial World; what could be more joyful than this?

"The North Sea Divine Turtle greets the Empress Nuwa and all the sages!"

Overjoyed, the North Sea Divine Turtle bowed to Nuwa and the assembled saints, who gestured for him to dispense with North Sea Divine Turtle formalities.

After the saints finished their work, they planned to return to their respective homes, but they discovered an unusual problem: the Great Dao had not yet left the Primordial World.

This made the saints feel very uneasy. They knew that even when the Great Dao descended upon the Primordial World and bestowed merits, it would leave immediately afterward.

But this time, the Great Dao did not leave immediately; something was amiss!

Suddenly, a strange phenomenon occurred: a precious pearl appeared out of thin air on the ruins of Buzhou Mountain.

Within that precious pearl was a realm of chaos, emanating supreme divine power, which even saints felt a trace of pressure from within.

"Nuwa, that's the Chaos Supreme Treasure Chaos Bead, the supreme treasure of Great God Pangu, and it should be in its complete state!"

Bai Chen, sitting on Nuwa's shoulder, was immediately agitated upon seeing the precious pearl.

Upon hearing Bai Chen's words, the saints were all unsettled and wanted to seize the Chaos Bead.

Of all the magical treasures in the Primordial World, the most powerful one on the surface is the Immortal Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, which is invincible except by the Four Saints. However, even the Immortal Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation has not reached the level of Chaos Supreme Treasure!

How could the saints not be excited at the sudden appearance of a Chaos Supreme Treasure?

"Nuwa, Houtu, don't go!"

Seeing that Nuwa and Houtu were about to seize the Chaos Bead, Bai Chen quickly stopped them and explained:

"Why did this Chaos Bead appear now of all times? I suspect it might be related to the Great God Pangu, and the Great Dao has not yet departed."

"Don't offend the Great Dao and the Great God Pangu in the future."

Bai Chen suspected that the Chaos Bead was summoned from the chaos by the great god Pangu, because the timing was just too coincidental.

Nuwa and Houtu calmed down upon hearing this. After all, Bai Chen was extremely greedy, and even the cat didn't dare to rush forward, so there must be something wrong.

The Three Pure Ones suddenly realized that Houtu and Nuwa hadn't moved, and immediately stopped.

The Three Pure Ones could stop, but even if Jieyin and Zhunti, who were at the forefront, reacted in time, it was too late.

After Jieyin and Zhunti entered the attack range of the Chaos Bead, the Chaos Bead released Chaos Qi, which transformed into a giant axe that Jieyin and Zhunti. The Western Two Saints were sent flying backward and back to their hometown.

"Hiss!"

The Three Pure Ones brothers gasped in shock. Luckily, they noticed Nuwa and Houtu's unusual behavior and stopped in time; otherwise, they would have Jieyin and Zhunti.

After the Chaos Bead dealt with Jieyin and Zhunti, an incomparably sacred will extended from the ruins of Buzhou Mountain and entered the Chaos Bead.

Everyone present understood that this will was the remnant soul of the great god Pangu. In fact, all the sages knew that the great god Pangu was not completely dead.

After all, if the great god Pangu were truly dead, how could the Heavenly Dao possibly be unable to govern Buzhou Mountain?

The remnant soul of the great god Pangu confronted the Great Dao, as if negotiating something. After a while, the remnant soul of the great god Pangu, along with the Chaos Bead, Chaos Supreme Treasure treasure of chaos, broke through the void and left the Primordial World.
