On Three Immortal Island in the East Sea, a streak of light shot up into the sky.

Ye Changqing sat in a bamboo sedan chair, carried by Yunxiao and Qiongxiao themselves, with Bixiao attending by his side. Zhao Gongming cleared the path ahead for him.

With such a grand display, it was likely that only Ye Changqing in the entire Jie Cult could achieve this.

This time, he was going to Chaos to seek an ally for the Jie Cult.

Outside Empress Wa's Palace, Empress Nuwa seemed to have known Ye Changqing would come, and personally came out to greet him.

Ever since Ye Changqing failed to achieve Dao in Chaos last time, she had been thinking of repaying his favor.

She had originally intended to go to Golden Ao Island's Azure Palace to discuss with Sect Master Tongtian how to give Ye Changqing a sliver of hope.

However, Sect Master Tongtian was not currently in the Primordial World.

The attendant boys, Caiyun and Lingzhu, were somewhat surprised. Besides Great God Fuxi, who else could warrant an appearance from the Empress herself?

The chaotic energy surged, and the scene gradually cleared, revealing an old man sitting in a bamboo sedan chair before them.

His aura was depleted, and his body was filled with the aura of death. It was clear he didn't have long to live.

How could such a person be valued by Empress Nuwa?

Empress Nuwa was also startled when she saw Ye Changqing, his hair grayed and his heroism faded.

She never expected his injuries to be this severe.

"Ye Changqing?"

She asked tentatively, not quite believing it.

Ye Changqing nodded and was welcomed into Empress Wa's Palace by Empress Nuwa.

The two attendant boys stood frozen on the spot, unable to snap out of their daze for a long time.

That person was Ye Changqing?

From the moment Ye Changqing achieved Primordial Unity, they had regarded him as an idol.

Seeing their idol fall from grace, how could they not be astonished?

It wasn't until Empress Nuwa's angry voice was heard that they snapped back to reality and went to serve tea for them.

Inside Empress Wa's Palace, Empress Nuwa was filled with emotion. She had thought the world had gained another friend with whom she could discuss the Dao, but she never expected Ye Changqing to end up in such a state.

However, since Ye Changqing had come, she had to repay that karmic debt.

She led everyone to a side hall. The vast space contained only a pool of water.

Strangely, there was nothing in the pool, yet it emanated abundant spiritual energy.

Ye Changqing felt an invisible force repeatedly cleansing his Primordial Spirit.

For a moment, he even felt as if his injuries had recovered by a sliver, and his body felt much better than before.

"So it was this!"

Ye Changqing finally understood, seeing its true form.

A water lotus, like carved jade, filled the entire pool. A transparent lotus flower had yet to bloom, but waves of divine charm and light continuously radiated outwards.

This budding lotus was likely the future Precious Lotus Lantern, and its true form was the Twelve-grade Pure World White Lotus.

The Twelve-grade Pure World White Lotus could cleanse all the filth in the world and also purify the evil in one's heart.

Therefore, only those with extremely pure hearts could see the Twelve-grade Pure World White Lotus.

Ye Changqing's sword heart was clear and bright, naturally making him such a person.

He understood Empress Nuwa's good intentions and jumped into the pool without hesitation, accepting the purifying power.

Crack, crack!

Numerous cracks suddenly appeared on the lotus leaves of the Twelve-grade Pure World White Lotus. Even it could not withstand the erosion of the Great Dao's consciousness.

The Twelve-grade Pure World White Lotus directly threw Ye Changqing out of the pool.

Fortunately, Empress Nuwa was quick-witted and caught him, preventing him from being thrown out of Chaos.

Ye Changqing's injuries were caused by the Great Dao; a spiritual treasure of the Twelve-grade Pure World White Lotus's caliber was simply ineffective.

Empress Nuwa intended to pluck the lotus flower for him to consume, but he refused.

Ye Changqing took out the Chaos Bead to conceal the heavenly secrets, making it impossible for even the Heavenly Dao to know of their conversation.

"Chaos Bead?"

Empress Nuwa was also very surprised to see this legendary treasure. She never dreamed it would be in Ye Changqing's hands.

However, she wondered why Ye Changqing didn't choose to achieve Dao within the Chaos Bead.

As if guessing her thoughts, Ye Changqing smiled and said, "After I die, a world will be born in the myriad realms, named the Eternal World."

"It will be supreme above all myriad realms, eternal and everlasting, where everyone will have an infinite lifespan."

"And I will be the Lord of the Eternal World, reborn there."

Empress Nuwa had never heard of the Eternal World, nor did she know of the Lord of the Eternal World.

But his eyes were clear and sincere, not like he was talking nonsense.

Zhao Gongming and San Xiao's eyes were filled with fanaticism, as if they deeply believed Ye Changqing's words.

Without waiting for her hesitation, Ye Changqing spoke again, "Before I leave, I am still worried about the Jie Cult and the Primordial World."

"A tribulation will occur in the future that will affect all living beings, and even the humans created by the Empress cannot escape..."

Empress Nuwa frowned slightly. Humans were her foundation; if they were affected, she would surely be implicated.

"What should I do?"

A dying man's words are often wise. After some struggle, she finally chose to believe what Ye Changqing said.

"Abolish the Human Sect, unite the Human Dao!"

Ye Changqing only spoke six words, yet they contained immense information.

The Human Sect was founded by Ye Changqing's senior martial brother, Laozi. How could he be so bold?

The Human Dao was related to the Three Human Emperors, who were suppressed in Huoyun Palace.

"If the Human Sect is not abolished, the destiny of the human race will only be continuously plundered, and in the end, the Human Dao will perish, and there will be no more Human Emperors, only Son of Heaven."

"The Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos were originally equal, with no distinction between high and low. Once the Human Dao and Earth Dao are suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, the Empress will have no chance to transcend the Heavenly Dao..."

Ye Changqing had explained everything clearly. Whether to believe it or not was up to her.

After all, the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation was tied to the dynastic changes of the human race. Without Empress Nuwa's consent, who would dare to lay hands on the Human Emperor?

"Alright, I believe you!"

"But this matter is too serious, and I cannot just take your word for it..."

Empress Nuwa said after much thought.

She already admired Ye Changqing greatly, and it was unlikely that a dying man would lie to her.

However, abolishing the Human Sect, though it sounded simple, would mean offending a Saint.

"What do you want me to do?"

Empress Nuwa wanted to know Ye Changqing's ultimate goal.

"Ally with my master, Sect Master Tongtian. The human race and the Jie Cult will advance and retreat together."

Ye Changqing calmly revealed his plan.

Empress Nuwa nodded. She could trust Sect Master Tongtian.

"Ding, the Host's creation of the Sovereign's mysterious past has been achieved. All will come true after death!"

"Reward: Human Dao supreme treasure, Human Dao Golden Seal, Chaos Formation Compendium!"

Empress Nuwa now fully believed Ye Changqing's words, which relieved him.

This Human Dao Golden Seal would allow Empress Nuwa to merge with the Human Dao and become its spokesperson, making her a match for Old Ancestor Hongjun.

However, this item should be left to Sect Master Tongtian as a bargaining chip for future cooperation.

"In that case, I shall take my leave!"

Ye Changqing bowed to Empress Nuwa and slowly walked out of the great hall.

Watching his hunched back, Empress Nuwa murmured to herself, "I wonder where the Eternal World is. Will we be able to meet again in the future?"
