With Fuxi's Sacrifice to Heaven and Earth in Chen Du, the human realm was perfected, and Fuxi ascended to the position of Human Emperor. Thus, the Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos the Primordial Wilderness world were restored to their proper places.

Six sages of Heaven overlook the Primordial Wilderness, operate the Heavenly Dao Way, Act as Heaven's Emissary, and regulate Yin-Yang.

The earth contains the reincarnation of Houtu and the Blood Sea Minghe, who govern the Six Paths of Reincarnation, operate the underworld, and connect Yin-Yang.

Human Emperor Fuxi resided in Chen Du, ruling over countless living beings and dominating the Primordial World Continent.

There is the Heavenly Emperor Donghua, who simultaneously operates the Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos, Earth, and Man, and governs the Three Realms, all the heavens, and all the origins. There is also the Heavenly Court, which supervises the Three Realms and rules over the Four Seas and eight wastelands.

"Boom!"

Above the nine heavens, the Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos appeared together, and the Three Thousand Great Daos manifested in the form of divine wheels of rules on the Primordial World Continent.

Beyond the Primordial Wilderness, the Outer Demonic Realm shares a portion of the Primordial Wilderness, also began to stir. The demon realm began to merge once again, and this time even the Heaven of the Demonic Realm could not stop it.

It is believed that before long, the barrier between the Demon Realm and the Primordial Wilderness World will completely disappear.

Luohu will either return from the Heaven of the Demonic Realm or be completely transformed into nourishment for the Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos, becoming a part of the Dao.

In the chaos, the Great Dao manifested, eventually forming the state of Pangu, and finally manifested in the Primordial Wilderness. The Great Dao Rules permeated the Primordial Wilderness and enveloped it.

The Primordial Wilderness entered a special state.

At this moment, even the inaudible and invisible source of the Dao manifested.

"Senior brother, what is that?"

On the Western Spirit Mountain, Zhunti looked at the Dao Source Land that was merging with the Great Dao Rules and asked incredulously.

He wasn't the only one with this question; Minghe, Houtu, Tongtian, and Yuanshi also didn't know what it was.

Because the Land of Dao Origin is the true foundation of the Primordial Wilderness, one cannot enter the Land of Dao Origin unless one's cultivation reaches the Fourth Heaven Opening Realm.

Taishang at the place where the Dao Source had appeared, Taishang sighed and said, "So this place really does exist. It truly is Heaven's help."

"Second brother, third brother, you must diligently comprehend the Great Dao and not miss this opportunity. I am leaving now!"

Nuwa looked at the Dao Source Land that had appeared, said nothing, and directly flew up, crossed the Taisu Heaven, and entered the Dao Source Land.

Jieyin hesitated for a moment on Spirit Mountain, and finally said:

"Junior brother, this place is the origin of the Primordial Wilderness, the source of the Dao, and the end of the Primordial Wilderness Dao. Although my cultivation is still a little lacking, I want to give it a try. If we miss this opportunity, the Western Region will never have a chance to rise."

"The Land of the Origin of the Dao?"

Zhunti still didn't understand, because he could see that place, but couldn't find it, as if it wasn't even in the Primordial Wilderness.

"Your cultivation is still far from sufficient, and so am mine, but I have also sensed the Dao Source Land. Let's see if we can enter this time."

Jieyin saying this, he stepped onto the Twelve-Grade Merit Golden Lotus and disappeared from the spot.

This is a golden opportunity, don't miss it!

He could vaguely sense the source of the Dao, and this was his opportunity, his chance to break through to the Fourth Heaven.

Zhunti watched as Jieyin disappeared. He longed to go too, but he didn't know where to go.

Although the place of the Dao source has appeared, it is like a flower in a mirror or the moon's reflection in water; it cannot be found at all.

"It truly is a matter of timing and fate!"

Zhunti sighed, then stopped thinking about it and sat on the lotus platform to begin comprehending the Great Dao.

Although they could not enter the Land of Dao Origin, the Three Thousand Great Daos of the Primordial Wilderness appeared together, and the Chaos Great Dao descended upon the Primordial Wilderness, appearing before everyone in the form of Pangu.

How could we miss such an opportunity!

He has just broken through to the Third Heaven, and with this opportunity to comprehend the Great Dao, he is confident that he can make further progress.

"Second brother, can you feel it?"

Tongtian looked at the Dao Source Land that appeared in the Nine Heavens. He seemed to be able to sense a bit of it, but he couldn't grasp it. He was really annoyed.

"So close, so very close!" Yuanshi looked at the Land of Dao Origin, his eyes reddening.

At this moment, Yuanshi truly wanted to rush into Chen Du and grind Fuxi to dust. Even if it took a little longer for him to achieve the perfection of humanity, he was confident that he could enter the land of Dao Origin.

But now he's just a little short; he can't enter the Land of Dao Origin.

One step behind, and you'll be behind at every step!

He doesn't know how much effort it will take to make up for this missed opportunity.

"Alas!" Tongtian sighed, but ultimately said nothing. He simply sat there and began to comprehend the Great Dao.

It's too late to say anything now. The Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos now complete. Who could have imagined such an opportunity?

Houtu was just as angry as Tongtian Yuanshi, and she was almost there too.

Originally, she attained enlightenment much later than Tongtian Yuanshi, but she alone possessed the innate blessings of the Ancestor Witch.

The Pangu Bloodline, it really is the Pangu Bloodline!

In the Primordial Wilderness, they were like one's own son.

There's nothing we can do about it.

Furthermore, Houtu opened up the cycle of reincarnation and was the first Saint of the earthly path, so she had everything. Therefore, later generations surpassed her and now her cultivation is on par with Tongtian Yuanshi.

Donghua, high above the heavens, surveyed all living beings in the Primordial Wilderness with his Dharma Eye, and finally chuckled softly, "This time, Fuxi has incurred everyone's hatred; his days ahead are probably numbered."

Then he turned to the West Queen Mother beside him and said, "Junior Sister, you should meditate on the Great Dao here, carefully perceive the changes in the Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos during the ascension of the Primordial Wilderness, and then perceive the power of Heavenly Punishment. Based on the new Heaven and Earth, evolve a new Heavenly Punishment."

"This is your chance, a chance to break through to the Quasi-Saint realm."

The West Queen Mother looked at Donghua with a puzzled expression. She could understand what he was saying, but she didn't know what to do.

It's like the source of the Dao is there, but she can't find the entrance.

Donghua reminded her again, "Junior sister, Heaven and Earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs. Heavenly punishment is the fairest force in the Primordial Wilderness, and the potential of the Heavenly Punishment Path is definitely more than just the Quasi-Saint realm."

"With your current cultivation level and status, you can punish Quasi-Saint Grand Unity with Heavenly Punishment, but above Quasi-Saint there are Saint."

"The Dao has Yin-Yang, and all things are mutually generating and mutually restraining. Even the Dao has things that it restrains, let alone the Saint. The Saint is ultimately not the Dao, but also a human being."

Upon hearing this, the West Queen Mother immediately understood, her expression a mixture of joy and worry.

"Brother, do you mean to use the Way of Heavenly Punishment to connect the Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos, and establish a new order of Heavenly Punishment, including punishments for Saint and Quasi-Saint?"

Although the West Queen Mother wields the power of heavenly punishment, it is primarily directed at those below the Grand Unity level, posing virtually no threat to Grand Unity or Quasi-Saint.

Because upon reaching the Grand Unity realm, one has already transcended the Five Elements Yin-Yang, entering the Dao of Time and Space, while Quasi-Saint are even involved in destiny.

Therefore, the mistakes of the Grand Unity Immortals and Quasi-Saint are all punished by Heavenly Dao itself.

The Heavenly Dao is unconscious and it is basically impossible for it to punish Grand Unity and Quasi-Saint unless they have committed heinous crimes, such as breaking the Sky Vault and pushing down Buzhou Mountain, or Nuwa resurrecting the demon race in the Purple Mansion.

Under such circumstances, Heavenly Dao would send down divine lightning as punishment, but this situation is extremely rare in the primordial Primordial Wilderness.

Now, this is even more so the punishment of Saint.

Donghua nodded firmly, looking up at the place where the Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos intersect, which is also the place where the source of the Dao manifests.

"Junior sister, do you know why the Heavenly Rules came into being?"

Before the West Queen Mother could answer, Donghua continued, "Because the Heavenly Rules are a part of the Heavenly Punishment. They are the concrete manifestation of the Heavenly Punishment, the core of the operation of the Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos, and the cornerstone of the Heavenly Court's rule over the three realms."

"If the Heavenly Court has no Heavenly Rules, it's no different from the Yao Court of yesteryear. Do you understand what I mean now?"

The West Queen Mother nodded. She understood Donghua's meaning and finally understood why Donghua had summoned people from all sides of the Primordial Wilderness and various realms to the Heavenly Court to discuss the Heavenly Rules.

"Senior brother, is this why you put me in charge of the Heavenly Rules?"

Donghua nodded. He had long anticipated the path to enlightenment for the West Queen Mother, and that path was guided by the Heavenly Rules.

Let the rules of heaven supersede all people in the Primordial Wilderness.

Empowering divine punishment with the power of heavenly laws!

Use the power of divine punishment to govern the heavenly rules!

After the Heavenly Rules were established, Donghua only used them to restrain the people of the Heavenly Court, and had not yet truly implemented them for all beings in the Three Realms, because the time was not yet ripe.

Firstly, because the Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos are not yet complete.

Secondly, the West Queen Mother could not control that power at that time.

Thirdly, Donghua couldn't implement it at that time, and his strength couldn't surpass everyone else's.

For the heavenly rules to truly be implemented, the hurdle of the Saint must be overcome.

Now, all the time is ripe.

It is time to bring the Heavenly Rules to fruition, to govern the Heaven, Earth, and Human Realms, Earth, and Humanity with the laws of Heaven, and to restrain all living beings.

As for whether to let the Heavenly Rules constrain the Saint, Donghua had considered this, but it was basically impossible to achieve.

The Primordial Wilderness is ultimately a world Greatness Returns to Oneself, and the strong are not allowed to have any conditions attached.

The laws of Heaven are like the constitutions and laws of later generations; they can bind many people, but there are exceptions.

But regardless of the circumstances, on the surface, everyone has to obey.

This can only be implemented after the All Saints Alliance.

Therefore, in the future, only two voices will be needed in the Primordial Wilderness: one is Donghua, and the other is the Heavenly Rules!

"Brother, I understand. I will re-examine the Great Dao and use the new Heavenly Punishment Dao to open the Gate of Hun Yuan!"

The West Queen Mother's gaze was firm. Now she finally understood all of Donghua's plans, why he had let her take sole control of the Heavenly Rules, and why he had arranged for the All Saints Alliance.

Whether it's to support Donghua or to cultivate her own path, she's willing to do it.

Donghua looked at West Queen Mother with satisfaction. The two of them had walked together, witnessing and fulfilling the vow they made when they became Dao Companion.

To have such Dao Companion in life, what more could one ask for!

"Junior sister, don't rush this matter. Try practicing this method first, but don't deliberately pursue it."

"The way is to follow the natural order!"

Donghua gently took West Queen Mother's jade hand and held it in his own. Although his progress in the Path of Heavenly Punishment was rapid, it was fraught with danger.

If one is not careful, one will be annihilated by the Heavenly Dao, just like Luohu today, who has turned into the Dao and departed.

Although Donghua wanted West Queen Mother to attain enlightenment, he didn't want her to be in such danger.

The best Attain Hunyuan Dao. If that's not possible, the West Queen Mother will only have a chance after the war with the Western God Realm.

But Donghua wasn't in a hurry; he could wait!

The West Queen Mother smiled indifferently, gently embraced Donghua, and nestled him in her arms.

"Brother, I also want to help you. I also want to stand beside you and witness the Great Dao together. I have already fallen too far behind you, and I don't want to fall behind any further."

Donghua sighed and hugged West Queen Mother tightly. This was why he hadn't told West Queen Mother the reason.

Because the West Queen Mother was too eager to advance!

"Junior sister, take this opportunity to thoroughly comprehend the Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos, as well as the power of Heavenly Rules and Heavenly Punishments. Don't rush your breakthrough; take it slowly. This matter cannot be rushed."

The West Queen Mother nodded gently. "I understand. Where are you going?"

Donghua stroked West Queen Mother's hair and said, "I need to go to the Netherworld Realm to help Houtu enter the Land of Dao Origin. This is an opportunity, a chance to pave the way."

"Not only Houtu, but also Tongtian and Yuanshi, I will send them into the Land of Dao Origin to pave the way."

The West Queen Mother looked up at Donghua in disbelief and asked angrily, "I can understand you helping Houtu enter the Land of Dao Origin, and I can even understand Tongtian to some extent. But why are you helping Yuanshi Tianzun? You are aiding the enemy!"

Donghua laughed heartily and lightly flicked West Queen Mother's finger, "To aid the enemy? That's impossible. They are no longer my enemies. Whether it's Yuanshi or Taishang Jieyin, they are no longer my enemies, but my allies!"

After Donghua finished speaking, seeing that the West Queen Mother still looked confused, he continued:

"Don't think about it too much. All you need to know is that I am very strong now, terrifyingly strong. In the Primordial World, apart from my master, no one can threaten me. Not now, and even less so in the future!"

"The Primordial World still needs to venture out and compete in the chaos. The Western God Realm is just the beginning, not the end."

"Therefore, I need subordinates, subordinates who can fight and are capable of fighting."

"Do you think there could be better subordinates than the Three Pure Ones and the Western Two Saints?"

The West Queen Mother looked over again in disbelief. Although she knew that Donghua had great ambitions and wanted to subdue the Three Pure Ones and the Western Two Saints.

But they never imagined that Donghua wanted more than just suppression; he wanted complete submission and to bring the Three Pure Ones and others under his command.

If this were said out loud, who would believe it?

Donghua laughed heartily, "Don't think about these things. Focus on your cultivation. I'll be right back!"

It's not that Donghua is arrogant, but that he truly has the qualifications and strength to be arrogant now.

In the past, the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa were indeed a threat to him, because others could catch up with him.

However, after comprehending the Innate Five Primes, he had already distanced himself from the Three Pure Ones, a distance as vast as heaven and earth.

Simply put, he is no longer on the same level as the Three Pure Ones and others.

What he truly needs to emulate now are Hongjun, Yang Mei, Gaia, the God of Destiny, and the God of Rules.

They are making progress, and the Western God Realm is making progress as well!

After Donghua finished speaking, he disappeared from the Heaven Realm and went directly to the Netherworld Earth Realm.

Looking at Houtu, who was comprehending the Great Dao, he said nothing more and Jieyin the Great Dao Power within his body, using the Emperor Dao Power to draw upon the source of the Dao.

In an instant, a real crack was torn open.

Houtu didn't ask a single question or say much, because now was not the time for sentimentality or gratitude.

He then leaped into the air, tearing through space and time, and entered the Land of Dao Origin.

After helping Houtu, Donghua went to Kunlun Mountain and, ignoring the bewilderment of Yuanshi and Tongtian, sent them directly to the Land of Dao Origin!
