Chapter 29

Then Earth Emperor Yue Jianshi established the Earthly Dao lineage, deriving the principles of the earth, the Changes of the Four Seasons, and more. This allowed the Primordial Wilderness to first understand the impermanence of life and death, pushing the Ancient Divine Path to its peak.

The appearance of the two Dao founders brought a new chapter to the chaos of the Primordial Wilderness.

Within the void, an ancient divine being with Twelve Heads and Eighteen Arms suddenly appeared. He carried the Primordial Wilderness on his back and held the Netherworld in his hands.

With his appearance, a grand voice rang out: "Salutations to Earth Emperor Yue Jianshi!"

The Earth Emperor established the Dao, and the God Clan fell into conflict.

At this moment, Jiu Tou Shi used the power of creation to reorganize the God Clan's order, establishing the Five Directions Divine Race. Each direction was governed by one of the Five Emperors and Five Old Lords. He created the Innate Five-Colored Divine Humans, established the Human Dao, and brought the Archaic Era of the Divine Court's chaotic reign to an end.

Thus, he was honored as Human Emperor Jiu Tou Shi.

The scene shifted. The Primordial World appeared desolate, with the God Clan warring among themselves and the common people suffering.

At this time, a nine-headed Innate Divine Being was born in the Primordial Wilderness. He pacified the wars, spread the Divine Path, enlightened the Five Emperors and Five Old Lords, and established the Five Elements.

As the sound of the Great Dao spread and countless Innate Divine Beings offered their praise, the Primordial Beings truly felt the greatness of the Ancient Three Sovereigns for the first time.

The countless Innate Divine Beings born after the Ancient Era were also filled with reverence for the Ancient Three Sovereigns.

At this moment, it was as if the prelude to a new era after the Ancient Era had been drawn back.

Only now did the Innate Divine Being who had guided everything finally appear before all the Primordial Beings.

He could not be described in words. He was inconceivable and impossible to remember.

He proclaimed, "Since Pangu opened the Primordial World, the Great Dao has governed its order. After the God-Demon Calamity, the Ancient Three Sovereigns established the Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos, giving rise to the prosperity of today."

Next, the Heavenly Dao Lineage announced that the Heavenly Dao would emerge and the Great Dao would hide itself. The Heavenly Dao would replace the Great Dao in managing the order of the Primordial Wilderness, judging good and evil, beauty and ugliness, and granting beings merit and Karma.

He said, "Those who bear Merit may become divine officials of the Heavenly Court and enjoy the protection of Heavenly Dao destiny.

"Those who bear Karma will suffer punishment from the Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder of the Heavenly Dao."

He also invited all Primordial Beings to witness the ceremony establishing the Heavenly Court after Three Thousand Yuan Hui.

As soon as these words were spoken, the figure of that Innate Divine Being vanished before everyone's eyes.

This marked the Heavenly Dao Lineage of the Primordial Wilderness truly carrying out an earth-shaking deed.

Countless Primordial Beings and Innate Divine Beings were drawn toward it.

The Primordial Heavenly Dao had been established by Cang Li Shi in order to organize the order of the Great Dao within the Primordial Wilderness. It was the collective embodiment of the laws of the Primordial World.

It possessed supreme characteristics while supervising the entire Primordial World and maintaining order and stability.

From this moment onward, any act that damaged the Primordial World would be punished by the Heavenly Dao through the descent of the Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder.

The Primordial World was about to undergo a tremendous transformation.

With the Heavenly Dao manifesting, the Primordial Beings were all strictly restrained and no longer dared to act recklessly.

The atmosphere of the Primordial Wilderness grew increasingly positive.

The establishment of the Heavenly Dao Lineage and the Heavenly Court made the management of the Primordial Wilderness more orderly.

The various Innate Divine Beings of the Primordial Wilderness began pondering the changes brought by the emergence of the Heavenly Dao.

For those who had embarked upon the Path, they might feel the arrival of new restraints. But for ordinary Primordial Beings, this transformation was eagerly anticipated.

With the Heavenly Dao, the Primordial Wilderness would no longer be a world ruled purely by the strong. Even the weak would have a chance to rise.

Destiny and opportunities would no longer be monopolized by the great clans. Ordinary beings would also have opportunities to defy the heavens and change their fates.

Even powerful Innate Divine Beings would no longer dare to oppress the weak recklessly, and the wanton plundering in the west would be greatly reduced.

In the past, most of the destiny in the Primordial Wilderness had been controlled by the top experts. The weak could rely only on their own meager destiny, and sometimes even that would be plundered.

Thus, they had almost no chance of gaining the recognition of opportunities, and their chances of defying the heavens and changing their fates were exceedingly slim.

But now, the major powers began voluntarily opening up their destiny, and the destinies of the Primordial Wilderness merged to form an Ocean of Destiny.

People's destiny was no longer fixed. The weak might also possess great destiny, while the strong, if they failed to perform deeds beneficial to Heaven and Earth or lacked a Destiny Supreme Treasure to protect them, might suffer the loss of their destiny.

The more they damaged the Primordial Wilderness and the greater the Karma they caused, the more severely their destiny would drain away, possibly causing one misfortune after another to befall them.

Such a Heavenly Dao could spur all living beings to contribute to the construction of the Primordial World, making the Primordial Wilderness grow stronger as time passed.

In the future, more beings would break through to higher realms, ultimately completing Cang Li Shi's mission of inheriting Pangu Clan's will.

As time passed, the Primordial World underwent obvious changes after the previous declaration by the Innate Divine Being.

The chaos and slaughter that had once prevailed were greatly reduced.

Those Innate Divine Beings who had previously looked down on ordinary Innate Beings remained arrogant, but they had begun to exercise restraint.

Under the Primordial Wilderness of this era, the Innate Divine Beings and all living beings faced a major transformation.

The wanton slaughter of the past no longer existed. Even when divine beings fought, they no longer dared to easily involve the innocent.

Within the intangible Tai Xu, the supreme Great Dao gradually solidified, and comprehending it became easier. This was the gift bestowed by the Mother of the Great Dao before the emergence of the Heavenly Dao.

After the Heavenly Dao descended, directly comprehending the Great Dao would become extremely difficult.

The beings of the Primordial Wilderness now had only two choices: leave the Chaos and depart from the Primordial World enveloped by the Heavenly Dao, or gradually change paths and begin comprehending the Heavenly Dao.

Without a special Supreme Treasure, spiritual root, or method, it would be extremely difficult to continue comprehending the Great Dao in the Primordial Wilderness.

More importantly, those who did not cultivate the Heavenly Dao could not obtain Heavenly Dao destiny, and opportunities and treasures would be beyond their reach.

Although the Heavenly Dao Lineage was incomparably powerful, not everyone in the Primordial Wilderness was willing to submit.

The Five Directions Divine Race, the Earthly Dao, and the Human Dao would never retreat easily. They could use their own Great Daos to isolate themselves from the Heavenly Dao's envelopment.

What truly concerned these great powers was the Heavenly Court that the Heavenly Dao sought to establish.

They had already prepared themselves. When the Heavenly Dao emerged, opened the Realm of the Nine Heavens, and established the Heavenly Court, they would give the Heavenly Dao Lineage a warning.

The cultivators of the Primordial Wilderness in this era could be divided into two systems. The first consisted of Dao Seekers who cultivated the Innate Great Dao. The second consisted of Dao founders who independently opened up the Postnatal Great Dao.

In the current era, Dao founders attracted more attention. Among them, there were four especially powerful figures.

Within the Ancient Divine Path, Cang Li Shi, who had founded the Divine Path, had once been a Dao founder of both the Divine Path and Heavenly Dao Lineages.

Likewise, Yue Jianshi and Jiu Tou Shi were the Dao founders of the Earthly Dao and Human Dao respectively.

Shen Ni was the being who had opened the Path of Rebellious God-Demons.

Because the Path of God-Demons did not belong to the Primordial system, Shen Ni's existence had temporarily been set aside.

Within the Primordial World, the Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos had been established by the Ancient Three Sovereigns. They had completely merged into the Primordial World and become indispensable parts of it.

Even if the Buddhas, demons, immortals, and ghosts of the Primordial World vanished, these three Daos would still endure forever.

The Heavenly Dao comprehended by Cang Li Shi was even more extensive than the Great Dao, embracing all things.

It was like Tai Ming's Innate and Postnatal Combined Ghost Dao, but Cang Li Shi's Heavenly Dao was far more inclusive.

Cang Li Shi was honored as the Lord of the Ancient Divine Path and the Heavenly Dao Emperor Recognized by All Gods.

Even beings such as Yue Jianshi and Jiu Tou Shi were only slightly inferior to Cang Li Shi, with a very small gap between them.

As for the other Dao founders, they could only be considered the second tier beneath the Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos.

Although the Postnatal Great Daos they created each possessed unique aspects, they still could not compare with the Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos, nor could they completely merge into the Primordial World.

They had mastered the Great Dao and possessed the ability to open new heavens and earths within the Primordial Wilderness, achieving the unification of the Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos.

Therefore, even when facing the three Postnatal Great Daos of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity, they were not entirely helpless.

This explained why the major powers did not fear the emergence of the Heavenly Dao. They simply did not want the Heavenly Dao to rise above them once again.

With the public appearance of the Heavenly Dao Lineage, the Five Directions Divine Race and other powerful factions attempted to create trouble for it, but they showed sufficient respect for Cang Li Shi's Heavenly Dao.

Over the past three thousand Yuan Hui, these great powers had remained silent, waiting for the Realm of the Nine Heavens of the Heavenly Dao Lineage to appear.

Apart from Gou Shen, who was undergoing transformation at Buzhou Mountain, no one knew anything about the outside world.

After being nurtured for several thousand Yuan Hui, Tai Ming, within Yue Jianshi's inheritance opportunity secret realm, successfully gave birth to the first God-Demon Incarnation with the aid of the Book of God-Demon Incarnation and the Great Dao Soul God-Demon Heart.

Ordinary Innate Divine Beings needed several hundred thousand Yuan Hui to give birth to an incarnation, but Tai Ming's method of God-Demon Incarnation involved replacement at the conceptual level, so he needed only several thousand Yuan Hui.

Tai Ming had inherited the foundation of the God-Demon Heart, making him equivalent to an Innate Divine Being who had already emerged into the world.

Thus, he had long been impatient to learn about the current state of the Primordial Wilderness.

However, he had never expected that his appearance would draw the attention of the entire Primordial Wilderness.

One day, the sky was clear and the air crisp, while Buzhou Mountain remained as vast as ever.

The Heavenly Dao Lineage announced that it would fully emerge after three thousand Yuan Hui, causing the Innate Divine Beings to reduce their attention on Buzhou Mountain.

Although Yellow Old Lord, the Guardian of the Earthly Dao, was there, everyone was waiting for a response from the Earthly Dao Lineage.

However, Yellow Old Lord showed no intention of appearing, and it was impossible for everyone to wait forever.

After more than half of the three thousand Yuan Hui had passed, during a rare period of peace throughout the Primordial Wilderness, the Great Dao, which had originally been repaying all living beings and becoming increasingly manifest, suddenly changed.

Boundless Purple Qi mixed with the Primordial Violet Origin, transforming into rolling power of Great Dao Merit that descended upon a certain place on Buzhou Mountain.

The preciousness of Great Dao Merit was widely known throughout the Primordial Wilderness, but to those Innate Divine Beings capable of obtaining this honor, it was an exceedingly rare blessing.

Among the Innate Divine Beings of the Primordial World, only a very small number possessed Great Dao Merit. Some had even inherited Pangu Clan's Heaven-Opening Great Dao Merit.

Yet since the Archaic Era, the Great Dao had never again bestowed Merit.

Just as the Great Dao was about to hide itself, someone unexpectedly received its blessing. For a time, this drew the attention and discussion of countless Primordial Grand Unity beings.

The many divine beings were filled with curiosity and envy toward the mysterious person who had obtained this special Merit. They speculated one after another whether it had been Yellow Old Lord of Buzhou Mountain and the Earthly Dao Lineage.

Merit was a power produced by combining the origin of the world with the Primordial Violet Origin. To the Primordial Era Supreme Experts and Innate Divine Beings, it was an extremely precious existence.

Before the birth of the Heavenly Dao and its replacement of the Great Dao in governing the order of the Primordial Wilderness, the Merit bestowed had been Great Dao Merit. After the emergence of the Heavenly Dao, the granting and withdrawal of Merit became the authority of the Heavenly Dao.

Although the two appeared similar, the difference between them was enormous.

Great Dao Merit and Heavenly Dao Merit had different origins. The former was formed by the fusion of Great Dao Primordial Violet Qi and the Primordial Origin of the Profound Yellow Great Dao, while the latter was a combination of Innate Violet Qi and Primordial Violet Origin.

Although Great Dao Primordial Violet Qi was inferior to Primordial Chaos Ancestral Qi, which was praised as the Great Dao Foundation and possessed the potential to become a Dao Master of the Great Dao, it contained the charm of the Primordial Chaos Great Dao. It was sufficient to allow one to comprehend portions of the Mysteries of the Primordial Chaos Great Dao and far surpassed the Innate Violet Qi of the Primordial Wilderness.

The Primordial Origin of the Profound Yellow Great Dao was even more extraordinary, surpassing the Innate Primordial Origin of the Profound Yellow.

It originated directly from the Innate Primordial Violet Great Dao, was not restricted by the Primordial World, and possessed an aura of Transcendence.

With the Primordial Origin of the Profound Yellow, one could continuously obtain Innate Profound Yellow Qi.

Profound Yellow Qi was produced by the perfect fusion of Chaos Pure Qi and Chaos Turbid Qi. It symbolized the state at the beginning of Primordial Chaos, when yin and yang, purity and turbidity, had yet to separate.

The Primordial Origin of the Profound Yellow and Pangu Clan's power within the Primordial World had nurtured Heaven and Earth and all things.

The Primordial Origin of the Profound Yellow could evolve nearly all Innate materials, but its true value lay in improving the aptitude of Innate Divine Beings.

After refining the Primordial Violet Body, one could rival a Top-grade Innate Divine Being and gain unparalleled physical defense.

In the past, the Primordial Violet Ancestor had possessed a Top-grade Great Dao Body, making all Innate Divine Beings green with envy toward beings who possessed Great Dao Merit.

Either Great Dao Primordial Violet Qi or the Primordial Origin of the Profound Yellow could be used to establish a powerful faction with boundless potential.
