Long Zang stood in the void, a flicker of displeasure in his eyes.
The battle blood still seethed, but the enemy had already departed.
This exhilarating, unrestrained battle had come to an abrupt halt, leaving a lingering dissatisfaction in his heart.
He restrained his aura, reverted to his Pangu Dao Body, and surveyed his surroundings.
This place had been reduced to nothingness, all traces of heaven and earth utterly erased.
Long Zang understood clearly in his heart that he was different from Luohu.
Others walked the path of the Primordial Spirit; he could only walk the path of the physical body.
The Great Daos of Devouring and Destruction were like instincts branded into his bloodline, requiring no comprehension on his part.
All he lacked was time, the accumulation of magical power, and the crucial opportunity!
Long Zang returned to the Primordial World and began to travel from the western region.
In the Primordial World of today, aside from Yang Mei, the reincarnated Space Demon God whom he found formidable, there was almost nothing that could threaten him.
Yang Mei attained the Dao before Hongjun, truly the first Hunyuan Da Luo. Though not a Heavenly Dao Sage, he was all the more fearsome.
Fortunately, Yang Mei had no ambition for conquest, seeking only the Great Dao; otherwise, the situation in the Primordial World would certainly have been rewritten.
On the other side, the Fierce Beast Ancestral Court.
Years passed swiftly; several millennia vanished in an instant.
Shen Ni had constructed a grand and magnificent altar.
The altar spanned a thousand li, forged from countless Innate Dao Jades.
This divine jade could calm the mind for enlightenment and ward off Inner Demons, making it an extremely precious material.
The nine-tiered altar towered high, with nine symbolizing the ultimate number, its surface carved with countless Fierce Beast totems.
Countless Fierce Beasts prostrated themselves below, roaring in unison, their auras converging.
Shen Ni stood at the summit, his gaze cold and stern, his voice echoing across the Primordial World:
"Heavenly Dao above! I am Shen Ni, Emperor of the Primordial World's Ferocious Beast Clan. Today, I establish the Fierce Beast Divine Dynasty! With the God-Slaying Spear suppressing our destiny, let the Heavenly Dao bear witness!"
The sound waves rolled forth, shaking the eight wastelands!
The Ancestor Dragon raised his head in the Endless Sea, Yuan Huang halted at the Immortal Volcano, the First Kirin gazed from the Central Domain, and even the hidden Innate Great Divine Ability Users all sensed at that same moment the surge of boundless destiny.
The Heavenly Dao responded!
Deep within the void, a massive eye emerged, lightning converging, cold and merciless.
The Eye of Heavenly Dao looked down upon the Primordial World!
After a long moment, the Eye of Heavenly Dao dissipated, and a bolt of purple lightning streaked across the Primordial World.
The destiny of the Ferocious Beast Clan coalesced, forming the phantom of a massive divine beast.
It should have shone with golden brilliance, but now it was steeped in blood-red, wreathed in black mist.
That was the brand of countless slaughter and Karma!
The Heavenly Dao descended merit, affirming Shen Ni's achievement in founding a Divine Dynasty and advancing the civilization of the Primordial World.
The light of merit scattered down. Shen Ni waved his hand, channeling it all into the clan's destiny.
Though the blood-red and black mist faded somewhat, they could not be completely eliminated.
This was merely delaying the decline of the Ferocious Beast Clan.
They were, in the end, only buying themselves more time!
Just as Long Zang was transplanting an Innate Spiritual Root into the small world he had created, he suddenly heard a whisper: "Fierce Beast Divine Dynasty?"
The news of Shen Ni establishing his dynasty spread across the Primordial World.
Though surprised in his heart, Long Zang also found it reasonable.
Gathering the destiny of the entire clan could indeed forcibly elevate one's strength, but the risks were equally immense.
Succeed, and all races would submit; fail, and the destiny would backfire, leaving no chance of recovery.
Whether this choice was worthwhile depended entirely on one's own nature.
As for the Witch Clan?
Long Zang did not dwell on it.
After all, the Witch Clan had yet to emerge; even the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity had not yet passed, so how could there be talk of a Divine Dynasty?
Just as he was pondering, three resonant voices suddenly rang out across heaven and earth.
"I am Ancestor Dragon, born this day, let the Heavenly Dao bear witness!"
"I am Yuan Huang, born this day, let the Heavenly Dao bear witness!"
"I am First Kirin, born this day, let the Heavenly Dao bear witness!"
A dragon's roar, a phoenix's cry, a kirin's bellow—three voices shook the Primordial World together!
The sound waves spread across heaven and earth, proclaiming to all races.
The timing was truly delicate.
The Ferocious Beast Clan had just established their dynasty, and the Three Innate Races followed closely behind, announcing their birth.
No matter how one looked at it, it was a direct challenge!
After all, most top-tier Great Supernatural Beings did not make such declarations upon birth.
First, it was unnecessary; second, it easily invited Karma.
Only those truly harboring ambitions of conquest would swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao and proclaim it to the Primordial World.
The later Twelve Ancestor Witches, Demon Emperor Di Jun, and Eastern Emperor Tai Yi all did the same.
Now, the Three Races chose this step as well.
Clearly, they intended to stand against the Ferocious Beast Clan!
Some races that had been hesitant, after the Ferocious Beasts established their dynasty, had already leaned toward submission.
After all, the Ferocious Beast Clan's ambition was practically written on their faces—if you didn't submit, you waited to be annihilated.
But most clans were also unwilling to be enslaved by mindless beasts.
Now, with the Three Innate Races emerging, they finally had a new refuge!
Long Zang thought to himself: "With the Three Innate Races born, the Primordial World is about to get lively."
Time passed like a white colt fleeting past a crack.
Over hundreds of thousands of years, Long Zang traveled the Western Land, witnessing the undercurrents surging in the Primordial World.
The friction between the Three Races and the Ferocious Beasts deepened.
Ancestor Dragon, Yuan Huang, and First Kirin each gave orders to slaughter all mindless Ferocious Beasts within their territories without mercy.
Meanwhile, the Ferocious Beast Clan gathered small races across the Primordial World, expanding their forces, preparing for total conquest.
Shen Ni did not stop this; in fact, he welcomed it.
Because while mindless Ferocious Beasts were combat power, they also brought endless Karma.
It was they who sullied the Ferocious Beast Clan's fortune.
Being cleansed now actually lightened the clan's burden.
As time passed, the aura of the great calamity grew denser, filling heaven and earth.
Long Zang looked up at the sky and decisively chose to enter Outer Heaven, stepping into Chaos.
Chaos—no up, no down, no left, no right, no Space-Time, no order.
Only endless chaotic energy churned, destruction and creation coexisting.
Long Zang transformed into his true form, his Six Wings spread wide, his body like a black hole.
Boundless chaotic energy was devoured by him, becoming power to temper his flesh.
Every scale shimmered with Black Gold Divine Light, growing ever more indestructible.
Time lost all meaning in Chaos.
Suddenly, a strand of strange light pierced through Chaos, quietly merging into Long Zang's body.
In his slumber, he groggily heard a voice:
[Ding! Do you wish to join the Myriad Worlds Chat Group?]
Long Zang subconsciously replied, "Yes."
[Ding! Welcome the Thirteen Ancestor Witches to the chat group!]
The Primordial World.
Years continued to flow, time here worth nothing.
The Ferocious Beast Clan mobilized fully, starting from the Western Land, embarking on their conquest of the Primordial World.
Shen Ni knew in his heart that they had no retreat—they could only press forward!
Only by completely controlling the Western Great Domain could they gather enough fortune to attack other territories.
And in the Western Land, aside from Luohu, there was no one who could stand against Shen Ni.
But Luohu knew full well that the protagonists of this tribulation were Shen Ni and the Three Clans. If he got involved, it would only bring trouble.
So he simply concealed Mount Sumeru and lay low, refusing to emerge.
At the same time, the three Supreme Experts—Ancestor Dragon, Yuan Huang, and First Kirin—finally met.
They sat together, ready to discuss in earnest...
How to join forces and oppose the Ferocious Beasts!
Ancestor Dragon spoke slowly, his voice low and forceful: "For the Ferocious Beast Clan to dominate the Primordial World is not something that can be accomplished overnight."
His gaze shifted to Yuan Huang and First Kirin, his eyes deep and unreadable.
Now that the Three Clans had stepped forward, they had clearly and openly set themselves against the Ferocious Beasts.
The Ferocious Beasts' ambition lay bare upon the Primordial World—no further words were needed.
They had begun from the Western Land, intending to gradually devour the entire Primordial World.
Though the Ferocious Beasts spread across the four poles, being widespread and being dominant were two different concepts.
The former only represented vast numbers; the latter was absolute power.
Yuan Huang said coldly, "If no one stops them, the Ferocious Beasts will eventually complete their unification. It is only a matter of time."
She spoke bluntly.
Yet in the great tide of the Primordial World, it was often when something seemed "inevitable" that a sudden variable would arise.
And she, along with Ancestor Dragon and First Kirin, were precisely that variable!
