Mengzhang Divine Lord

Beyond the End of the World, a divine wood of unimaginable size floated in the east of the Primordial World, suppressing one extreme of heaven and earth.

This divine wood was so vast that it covered the sky. Even the star river flowing in the sky was no bigger than a branch in front of it.

This divine wood was not a true spiritual root, but rather the Yi Wood Qi of the Primordial World gathered and evolved into a world.

East Pole Heaven, the great eastern gate of the Primordial World, was the front line of defense against Outer Realm Heavenly Demons.

When Fang Yang arrived at the entrance of East Pole Heaven, he immediately sensed a strong killing intent emanating from the gate, as if ancient demon gods were engaged in war.

According to Meng Zhen, every time a tribulation erupted in the past, Outer Realm Demon Gods would descend outside the Primordial World to attack it.

This meant that when a tribulation erupted, the Primordial World would be in internal conflict, while Outer Realm Heavenly Demons would be lurking outside.

Hearing this, Fang Yang understood why the Heavenly Dao treated the Four Spirits of Heaven-Opening and the Four Clans so favorably.

Since their birth, these four clans had been silently guarding this world, never entering the Primordial World to contend for its fortune.

Naturally, the Heavenly Dao would take extra care of such races.

Fang Yang was fortunate that he acted reasonably and did not go too far based on Meng Zhen's words.

These four clans could only be won over, not made enemies.

Of course, the Four Spirits of Heaven-Opening, the Four Clans, and the Jie Sect had no Great Dao Struggle.

One guarded the border, the other managed civilization. The two sides had no irreconcilable conflicts.

"Fellow Daoist Guangchengzi, I apologize, but I will have to intercept the ally you have chosen."

Fang Yang mentally apologized to Guangchengzi and stepped into East Pole Heaven with Meng Zhen.

Meng Zhen did not have so many Schemes. He had only recently taken human form and did not understand the Dark Side of human nature well.

He was like a college student who had just graduated. He had intelligence and a brain, but lacked Social Experience.

His judgment of things was too bookish. In his dealings with others, he often followed his father's teachings.

Upon entering East Pole Heaven, a world filled with flowers, trees, and plants unfolded before Fang Yang's eyes.

The beings in this world, after taking human form, all became Azure Dragons. The Azure Dragon was the innate Dao body of East Pole Heaven!

In fact, there were eighty-one types of innate Dao bodies in the Primordial World, corresponding to Pangu's eighty-one transformations.

Mengzhang Divine Lord's innate Dao body was the transformation of the Azure Dragon, hence all beings in East Pole Heaven had the Azure Dragon as their innate Dao body.

However, this did not mean that the beings of East Pole Heaven could not transform into Pangu's Heaven-Opening Dao body (human form).

Under normal circumstances, beings would only transform once, but secondary, tertiary, or even infinitely diverse transformations also existed in the world.

Each time a living being transforms, it masters one more innate Dao body.

Many innate divine beings, such as the Three Pure Ones, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Empress Nuwa, and Emperor Fuxi, possess both the Divine-Demonic innate Dao body and the Pangu's Heaven-Opening Dao body.

Empress Nuwa can transform into seventy innate Dao bodies within a single day.

Taiqing Saint is even more formidable. He has cultivated eighty of Pangu's eighty-one transformations, which also include the innate Creation Dao body, modeled after Empress Nuwa's Divine-Demonic innate Dao body.

Although Primordial Heavenly Venerate and Sect Master Tongtian are not as terrifying as Taiqing Saint, they have also cultivated seventy-eight transformations, leaving countless legends in the world.

The Azure Dragon Clan itself is not a single race. Before their first transformation, they were various flowers, trees, insects, fish, and beasts. After their first transformation, they cultivated into Azure Dragons.

This phenomenon signifies that the myriad races within East Pole Heaven have achieved Great Unification, and there are no longer distinctions between races.

"Impressive. Mengzhang Divine Lord has actually broken through the concept of race and established a world with only the Great Dao Struggle, and no racial struggles."

Flying overhead and witnessing the scene of the Azure Dragon beings living and working in peace and contentment, Fang Yang was filled with admiration for East Pole Heaven.

What Sect Master Tongtian sought to establish was precisely such a world.

However, the situation in the Primordial World was complex, and Sect Master Tongtian could not control the entire world like Mengzhang Divine Lord.

"Your Highness, His Majesty learned of your return to East Pole Heaven and is waiting for you in the Green Dragon Hall. And this Esteemed Guest, His Majesty requests that you and Your Highness enter the Green Dragon Hall together."

As the two arrived outside Panlong City, an Azure Dragon minister emerged from the city to convey Mengzhang Divine Lord's message.

Mengzhang Divine Lord, out of respect for Sect Master Tongtian, treated Fang Yang with extreme courtesy, even using the word "request."

Given Mengzhang Divine Lord's status in the world, he did not need to be so polite to Fang Yang. Mengzhang Divine Lord's position was only slightly below that of Sect Master Tongtian.

In the Green Dragon Hall, Fang Yang met for the first time the being who ruled over the billions of beings in East Pole Heaven and had protected the Primordial World for three kalpas.

Mengzhang Divine Lord was a young man with a delicate appearance, resembling a Mortal Scholar, and looked very approachable.

If not for his eyes, which were filled with a sense of vicissitude, he and Meng Zhen would have looked like brothers standing together, with no discernible age difference.

"Father!"

Meng Zhen bowed first. His attitude was casual, like an ordinary son treating his father, without much Royal Etiquette.

Mengzhang Divine Lord was accustomed to this and waved his hand, signaling Meng Zhen to step aside.

"Disciple of the Sect of Interception, Fang Yang, greets the Divine Lord!"

Fang Yang was somewhat nervous. Whether his matter could be resolved depended entirely on Mengzhang Divine Lord's attitude.

Mengzhang Divine Lord slightly raised his hand and helped Fang Yang up:

"Virtuous Nephew, there is no need for such formality. This Lord and Fellow Daoist Tongtian are not strangers. In the previous kalpa, Fellow Daoist Tongtian even assisted this Seat in suppressing a Chaos Demon Wolf."

In the previous Great Tribulation, the Witch-Demon Tribulation, the Primordial World was invaded by Outer Realm Heavenly Demons for the third time.

While the Witch and Demon tribes were busy fighting for supremacy, the All Saints were assisting the Four Spirits of Heaven-Opening in resisting the invasion of the Outer Realm Heavenly Demons.

The result was not bad. The Primordial World successfully survived the third Great Tribulation. Although Mount Buzhou fell, the world was saved.

"Then this junior will boldly call you Uncle-Master, Divine Lord."

Fang Yang was good at seizing opportunities. Since Mengzhang Divine Lord had shown him kindness, he naturally had to seize the chance to get closer.

"Hahaha, Virtuous Nephew is an esteemed disciple of Fellow Daoist Tongtian. I can indeed be called Uncle-Master. I already know the purpose of your visit, Virtuous Nephew. Let my son Meng Zhen assist you with his Strength."

Mengzhang Divine Lord laughed heartily and generously agreed.

Meng Zhen was overjoyed upon hearing this.

He really wanted to participate in this kind of matter that benefited all living beings in the Primordial World, even if he wasn't the one in charge.

He wanted everyone in the Azure Dragon Clan to know that he wasn't just a God Second Generation who relied on his father; he also had the ability to achieve merit for all beings.

Fang Yang was overjoyed and immediately bowed again:

"Thank you, Uncle-Master, for fulfilling my wish! My entire sect will never forget the kindness of East Pole Heaven in helping us today!"

Mengzhang Divine Lord waved his hand, his expression suddenly becoming serious:

"In the last Great Tribulation, three Fellow Daoists, in order to eliminate the Calamity, did not hesitate to use their Great Magic Power to absorb the Calamity of all living beings onto themselves. They paid the Price of Myriad Tribulations Devouring Heart to save all living beings. What this Seat can do is not even one ten-thousandth of what those three Fellow Daoists did."

"Go, this matter is nothing to our Azure Dragon Clan."
