The Classic of Mountains and Seas

Zhang Hao looked at Zhenyuanzi, who was still somewhat dazed, holding the newly reborn "Classic of Mountains and Seas".

"Zhenyuanzi, this treasure is now entrusted to your care."

"This book contains the Shanhai Realm, and can also serve as a sanctuary, sheltering those souls who have nowhere to go during the Measure Calamity but possess kind hearts, helping them to recuperate."

Upon hearing this, Zhenyuanzi trembled and immediately bowed, solemnly accepting the Classic of Mountains and Seas with both hands.

"Zhenyuanzi, I will certainly live up to the trust placed in me by Heavenly Dao and this treasure!"

He could sense that the power of this Classic of Mountains and Seas far surpassed that of the ancient Book of Earth.

Zhang Hao turned around, his gaze seemingly piercing through the Zixiao Palace and looking into the depths of Chaos.

There, eleven Ancestral Witch were confronting the Demon God and Demon Saint of the Heavenly Court.

Both sides suffered heavy casualties.

"Stop it, everyone."

The Ancestral Witch and Demon God, whose eyes were filled only with the desire for destruction, were all startled.

Zhang Hao's figure appeared silently in the center of the Chaos battlefield.

"This is... the Prehistoric World Heavenly Dao?" Bai Ze and Kunpeng were the first to react and quickly stopped the Demon God.

The eleven Ancestral Witch looked at Zhang Hao with complicated expressions.

They knew that the Witch Clan had been defeated this time, and defeated utterly.

"In this calamity, you were not in control of your own destiny, and were taken advantage of by external demons, causing a great disaster. However, the sins have already been committed."

Zhang Hao's gaze swept over the eleven Ancestral Witch, and he spoke calmly.

"Considering the Pangu's Legacy, Chen Tian has already taken primary responsibility; you may be spared the punishment of annihilation, body and soul."

Upon hearing this, the Ancestral Witch relaxed slightly, yet their tension only intensified.

He may be spared the death penalty, but he cannot escape punishment.

"Xuanming."

Zhang Hao's gaze fell upon the female Ancestral Witch with a cold and aloof temperament who wielded the Law of Ice.

Xuanming slightly raised his head, his cold eyes looking at Zhang Hao, showing no fear, only silence.

"You have a cool and aloof nature and dislike conflict; you've been caught up in this mess and have suffered greatly."

"The Netherworld Underworld is newly established and severely lacks manpower. Would you be willing to go there?"

Xuanming remained silent for a moment.

She glanced at her brothers beside her, each bearing wounds and displaying different expressions, then looked towards the direction of the Prehistoric World, and finally nodded slowly.

"Xuanming, I am willing to go."

His voice was clear and cold, like ancient ice, yet it carried a calm that seemed to have settled down.

Zhang Hao nodded, and a beam of light descended, Bundle Xuanming.

The next moment, her figure vanished, appearing directly deep within the Netherworld Underworld.

As for you all...

Zhang Hao looked at the remaining ten Ancestral Witch.

"The bloodline of the Witch Clan is violent, and they are shrouded in malevolent energy. Living in the primordial Prehistoric World for too long is not a sustainable plan for either themselves or for the Prehistoric World."

"Zhenyuanzi."

"Yes," Zhenyuanzi replied hastily, holding the Classic of Classic of Mountains and Seas.

"Open the portal to the Shanhai Realm."

Zhenyuanzi dared not be negligent, and the Classic of Mountains and Seas in his hand shone brightly.

An ancient scroll unfolds amidst the Chaos?

The interior is crisscrossed by mountains and rivers, dotted with lakes and seas, brimming with vitality. Though not as vast as the primordial Prehistoric World, it possesses a unique blend of burgeoning life and tranquil atmosphere.

"This is the Shanhai Realm, containing the power of creation, capable of nourishing all things and tempering one's character."

"You may enter this realm to cultivate, to purify the restless and malevolent energy within your blood, and to comprehend the natural order of heaven and earth."

"Only when one's mind is at peace and one's merits are complete can we discuss returning to the Prehistoric World."

The ten Ancestral Witch gazed at the world depicted in the scroll, each with a different expression.

Zhu Rong frowned, Gonggong pursed his lips, while the Ancestral Witch Qiang Liang and Xi Zi showed thoughtful expressions.

"We... are willing to go."

In the end, Dijiang, as the eldest brother, represented all the Ancestral Witch and solemnly agreed.

They knew that this was already an act of Heavenly Dao intervention.

Entering the Shanhai Realm, though like being "exiled," also provides an opportunity to recuperate, mature, and break through limitations.

Beams of light shot out from the Classic of Mountains and Seas and Seas, enveloping the ten Ancestral Witch.

Their figures rapidly shrank, transforming into streaks of light and disappearing into the world of the painting.

In the Classic of Mountains and Seas and Seas, the corresponding mountain and river regions light up slightly, adding a touch of vastness and weight to the scene.

After dealing with the Ancestral Witch, Zhang Hao turned his gaze to the hundreds of surviving Demon God kneeling on the ground, filled with trepidation.

Most of these Demon God were at the Great Luo level, and many of them were once the core pillars of the Grand Formation of Stars.

At this moment, they were all injured, weak, and their eyes were filled with fear and confusion about their future.

"Demon Master Kunpeng."

"Little... Little Demon is here!" Kunpeng shuddered, scrambling out of the Demon God group and kneeling on the ground, his voice trembling.

He was genuinely scared.

Previously controlled by Chen Tian, and later indirectly affected by the Many Sons, Much Fortune System.

Although he betrayed the Grand Formation of Stars at the last moment and destroyed it, he could be considered to have redeemed himself through meritorious service.

But even he himself couldn't explain how much karma he was involved in.

"At the extreme of the North Sea, the land is bitterly cold and desolate, with accumulated calamities. It needs a capable person to guard and manage it, to prevent the growth of filth and its invasion of the Prehistoric World."

Zhang Hao looked at Kunpeng and said slowly.

"Would you be willing to lead a group of Demon God who are willing to accept constraints and sincerely repent to the North Sea to guard the border, regulate the earth's energy, and oversee the Northern Darkness?"

Kunpeng was overjoyed upon hearing this!

He'd long wanted to go it alone... no, he'd long wanted to expand the territory for the Demon Clan race!

"I am willing! This little demon is willing! I will certainly do my duty to guard the North Sea gate for the Heavenly Dao, regulate the earth's energy, and never allow evil spirits to disturb the tranquility of the Prehistoric World!"

Kunpeng banged his head repeatedly, so excited that he was incoherent.

"You all."

Zhang Hao looked at the other Demon God.

"Those who wish to follow Kunpeng to the North Sea may rise and stand behind him."

"Those who wish to repent and reform themselves, and enter the Shanhai Realm for spiritual practice and reflection, may enter the <Classic of Mountains and Seas>."

As soon as the words were spoken, the Demon God stirred and looked at each other in bewilderment.

Soon, about a third of the Demon God struggled to their feet and silently walked behind Kunpeng.

The remaining nearly two hundred Demon God, after hesitating and struggling, mostly bowed deeply to Zhang Hao, transformed into streaks of light, and actively threw themselves into the <Classic of Mountains and Seas> that Zhenyuanzi had unfolded.

Some of them felt deep remorse for their sins and were willing to enter the Shanhai Realm to "serve their sentence" and cultivate.

Some yearn for that world brimming with the vitality of Creative Vitality, hoping to find new life and breakthroughs there.

The light from the Classic of Mountains and Seas and Seas flowed, absorbing all two hundred-plus beams of light from the Demon God.

Within the painted world, the corresponding areas now feature numerous illusory images of birds, beasts, and aquatic creatures, their vitality and energy further enhanced.

"Kunpeng"

"Little Demon is here!"

"Take them there. You handle the matter in the North Sea yourself."

"Yes! I will obey the will of Heavenly Dao!"

Kunpeng, feeling as if granted a pardon, kowtowed deeply once more.

He waved his hand at the hundred or so Demon God behind him who had chosen to follow him, and a gust of demonic wind arose.

Then, without looking back, he sped off towards Prehistoric World North Sea, fearing that if he was too slow, the Heavenly Dao would change its mind.

In the blink of an eye, the Chaos battlefield, which was originally filled with murderous aura and littered with corpses, was reduced to an empty space and the remaining calamity aura.

Zhang Hao raised his hand and gently brushed it away.

Residual malevolent energy, shattered laws, dissipated vital energy...

Some merged into the Chaos, while others transformed into the minute spiritual energy that nourished the Prehistoric World.

The Ancestral Witch entered the mountains and seas, Xuanming suppressed the Netherworld.

The Demon God split into two groups, one entering the Shanhai Realm, and the other following Kunpeng to guard the Northern Darkness.

However... the effects of the Witch-Demon Calamity are not yet over.

"Di Jun, do you have any plans?" Zhang Hao asked Di Jun in a friendly tone.

Di Jun followed Zhang Hao all the way, feeling unusually at ease.

He bowed respectfully to Zhang Hao.

"The era of the Witch-Demon is over, and the Prehistoric World no longer needs me, the Solar Star."

"Di Jun wishes to enter the Shanhai Realm with his wife."

After receiving Di Jun's reply, Zhang Hao's lips curled up slightly.

This guy is clearly worried about those Demon God.

Zhang Hao suddenly asked, "Why didn't you mention Lu Ya?"

"Cough cough..."

Di Jun never expected that Zhang Hao would see through his little scheme.

Does this mean our world of three is about to end?

"Alright, Lu Ya still has a role in the Measure Calamity of the Investiture of the Gods. Without him, later Transmigrator might notice something amiss, so I'll keep him around for you."

Di Jun nodded after hearing this, understanding Zhang Hao's arrangement.

"The Heavenly Dao, what about my system...?"

Having spent so much time with the Survival System, it would be a lie to say I have no feelings for it.

I hope Heavenly Dao won't destroy it for him...

Zhang Hao's lips twitched. Was he the kind of person who would dismantle a system at the slightest disagreement?

"Don't worry, I still have a use for him."

"Thank you, Heavenly Dao. Now Di Jun can rest assured."

After saying this, Di Jun rushed to the East Sea, where important people were waiting for him.

The Witch-Demon will probably only have a few chapters left.

The following section will depict the protagonist's journey to Myriad Worlds, serving as a transitional chapter.

Then we enter the Measure Calamity of the Three Sovereigns and the Investiture of the Gods.
