Time passed, and heaven and earth endured.

After packing the Creation Azure Lotus and the place where it had grown into the Chaos Pearl, Di Tian continued down the mountain with Wang Shu.

After wandering for a thousand years, they finally reached the boundary between the middle and lower sections.

As the two entered the lower section and were about to leave, they encountered several Qilin who did not know their place.

They declared that Buzhou Mountain was their territory and that all gains had to be handed over. Otherwise, no one could leave even a single step.

Di Tian did not want trouble, but that did not mean he feared it.

He showed no courtesy toward such ants who had not even reached the Grand Yi Golden Immortal realm, slapping them all into pulp with a single strike.

Then, he took Wang Shu and transformed into a rainbow, flying straight back toward the Extraterritorial Starry Sky.

It was not that he feared retaliation from the Qilin Race.

The Sin and Karmic Force surrounding the three Qilin, as well as the faint scarlet hue gradually filling their eyes,

all indicated that the Three Races Calamity had already begun. It had even passed its initial phase and was advancing toward the mid-Tribulation stage—a chaotic melee among the Ten Thousand Races.

Under such circumstances, Tribulation baleful qi filled heaven and earth, while the hearts of all living beings among the Ten Thousand Races were consumed by Vicious Qi and rage.

They fought at the slightest disagreement, and exterminated clans over the smallest offense. Such things happened nearly every day.

To avoid being dragged into it, naturally, the faster they fled, the better.

Fortunately, the three races were busy waging war across the Four Seas and Eight Desolations. They paid little attention to a place like the Extraterritorial Starry Sky, which had few living beings and suppressed and weakened the strength of creatures from the lower realm.

As a result, Di Tian and Wang Shu encountered little obstruction on their way back to the Extraterritorial Starry Sky.

Other than a few Golden Immortals and Taiyi Realm cultivators who did not know their place, they met no major resistance.

Especially after entering the Extraterritorial Starry Sky, they traveled without hindrance all the way!

"We're finally home."

Looking at the Ziwei Emperor Star close at hand, the tension in Di Tian's heart finally eased somewhat.

"Wang Shu, wait here for a moment. I'll add another layer of protection to the Ziwei Emperor Star."

As he spoke, he brought out the Chaos Pearl and controlled it to release the Mixed Origin Limitless Great Dao Array.

Using the authority he held over the Ziwei Emperor Star and the deductions he had made over the years, he placed each array eye in turn, allowing them to fully merge with the stars!

This process lasted for more than thirty years.

Only after he placed the final array eye upon the All Heavens Stars Fruit Tree was the Mixed Origin Limitless Great Dao Array perfectly completed.

The safety of the Ziwei Emperor Star rose to another level. Unless several Mixed Origin Golden Immortal Perfection experts joined forces to erase it in an instant,

a single Mixed Origin Golden Immortal Perfection cultivator would never be able to shake this array in the slightest!

After all, this was the life-preserving formation Father God had left him!

As long as he followed the Hiding Path until his strength developed, no one would ever again be able to shake his position as ruler of the Primordial World!

At that time, he would be the Primordial Grand Ancestor!

As for who the Grand Progenitor was?

Pan Gu Father God was unquestionably worthy of the title!

Anyone who dared question it could merge into the Primordial World and ask Father God personally.

He would only send them there; he would not answer their questions!!

After setting up the formation, Di Tian brought Wang Shu back into the Ziwei Emperor Star.

Only after successfully transplanting the Five Needle Pine did he return to the All Heavens Stars Fruit Tree at ease.

"Wang Shu, I need to enter seclusion and refine the Chaos Pearl. You have already cultivated to Great Luo Perfection, and your Five Chest Qi are about to reach perfection as well."

"It is time to consider your future path."

"Is there something wrong with the path I'm cultivating now?"

Di Tian's inexplicable words left Wang Shu completely baffled, and she did not understand what he meant.

"Time is Supreme, Space is King.

Fate does not emerge, Causality is Emperor.

Creation is Unrivaled, Reincarnation is Infinite.

Five Elements are Primary, Yin Yang is Above.

Destruction is Hidden, Strength is Supreme!"

"These are the ten supreme Great Daos that have been passed down through heaven and earth since ancient times."

"Although the Supreme Yin Way is not bad, it ultimately belongs beneath the Yin Yang Dao."

"You must understand that the level of the Great Dao one cultivates can sometimes make the strength one displays upon advancing to the Mixed Origin Golden Immortal realm, or even the Grand Luo of Hunyuan realm, as different as clouds and mud."

"You have not yet entered the Mixed Origin Golden Immortal realm, so your future path has not been set in stone."

"I hope you can use the Supreme Yin Law to derive the Supreme Yang Law, then merge the two into one and elevate them into the Yin Yang Law."

"When that time comes, you can break through to the Mixed Origin Golden Immortal realm, or even the Grand Luo of Hunyuan realm, through the Yin Yang Dao and claim the position of Yin Yang Dao Lord!"

After Di Tian finished speaking, Wang Shu could not help falling into deep thought.

Extreme yang gave rise to yin, extreme yin gave rise to yang. The cycle returned to one, giving rise to Yin Yang.

It sounded simple, but in truth, this path was extraordinarily difficult and demanded immense comprehension.

If she could not grasp its mysteries and attain enlightenment of the secret behind the cycle returning to one, it would basically be equivalent to severing her own path.

She would remain trapped in the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm for the rest of her life!

The path of cultivation was no child's play.

One could not walk it when one wished, stop when one wished,

then turn back the way one came simply because one felt unable to reach the end.

Such thoughts were nothing more than foolish dreams and absurd nonsense.

Anyone holding such thoughts would not even know how they died.

However, even knowing that this was a road of no return, Wang Shu chose to trust Di Tian after a brief silence.

She did not believe he would ask her to do something in which he had no confidence at all.

Nor did she believe that, as the Taiyin Star God and someone born with a ticket to the Grand Luo of Hunyuan realm in hand, her comprehension would be so poor that she could not understand the Yin Yang Dao!

"Alright. I'll switch to cultivating the Yin Yang Dao."

"However, I have never come into contact with the Supreme Yang Way. If I wish for extreme yin to give rise to yang, I will still need to borrow half the authority of the Sun Star."

Seeing Wang Shu agree, warmth rose within Di Tian's heart.

Knowing full well that the road ahead had no return, she was still willing to trust him. He would never betray such trust and affection!

He immediately brought out the Jade Tablet of Creation Fragment and controlled it to release boundless Dao Charm, covering an area of thirty feet around them.

Of course, its divine might was far greater than this.

There were only two of them, after all. Expanding its range any further would simply waste mana and energy.

"Is this the Jade Tablet of Creation Fragment you obtained?"

"As expected of one of the five Chaos Supreme Treasures. Even incomplete, it possesses such divine might!"

Beneath the cover of boundless Dao Charm, Wang Shu instantly felt heaven and earth become Pure Brightness, and her Dao techniques flowed without obstruction.

At the mere unconscious thought of extreme yin giving rise to yang, countless ideas arose in her heart, along with innumerable profound mysteries concerning the Supreme Yin Law!

"This is the foundation of my confidence in having you cultivate the Yin Yang Dao."

As he spoke, Di Tian immediately controlled the Jade Tablet of Creation Fragment, manifesting the Yin Yang Dao contained within it.

In an instant, the surrounding heaven and earth were filled with Yin and Yang Dao Charm, while the boundless mysteries of the Law nearly became tangible!

Extreme yang gave rise to yin, extreme yin gave rise to yang, water and fire aided each other, life and death revolved, creation and destruction...

All kinds of mysteries related to Yin Yang emerged throughout heaven and earth, displaying themselves one by one before Wang Shu.

"So that's how it is. I understand..."

As the Yin Yang Dao manifested, Wang Shu seemed to have understood everything. She murmured softly and entered a state of comprehending the Law.

"As expected of the Jade Tablet of Creation. Even a mere fragment possesses such divine might!"

"In only the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, it allowed Wang Shu to comprehend a trace of the meaning behind extreme yin giving rise to yang."

"With her own Supreme Yin Law, she is now reverse-comprehending the opposing Supreme Yang Law."

"Combined with its ability to deduce heavenly secrets, it is truly a supreme treasure of the Hiding Path."

"No wonder Hong Jun, with the foundation of an Innate House Centipede, was able to scheme to death so many Demon God Reincarnations whose potential and strength surpassed his by hundreds of times."

"With such a heaven-defying divine object, as long as one can hide long enough, there is basically nothing one cannot accomplish!"

Seeing Wang Shu enter the right state, Di Tian did not continue sitting idly. After isolating a section of heaven and earth with the Time-Space Law so she could peacefully comprehend the Dao,

he controlled the Jade Tablet of Creation Fragment to manifest the six Great Daos of time, space, creation, stars, destruction, and strength, then closed his eyes and began comprehending them.

Time passed swiftly, and the years were peaceful.

In the blink of an eye, ten Eons passed.

During this period, Di Tian had raised all six Laws above eighty percent, nearing ninety percent.

To balance work and rest, he had not spent all these years immersed in Dao comprehension without waking even once.

He had not neglected the four Divine Dao inheritances of Alchemy Dao, Artifact Dao, Array Dao, and Talisman Dao either.

He could now freely draw Law Divine Runes, using them together with the Five Elements Inkstone, Zhou Tian Ink, and Starry Pen.

With a stroke of his brush, all things came to life; with a splash of ink, heaven and earth spread forth. Such things came effortlessly to him!

Alchemy, Artifact Forging, and formation setting had long since become second nature to him.

The immortal herbs and spiritual roots he had harvested during several Eons of traveling through the Primordial Wilderness had all been refined into various pills.

As for spiritual mines, strange stones, and innate spiritual materials, he had mostly used them to reforge the Star Burst Grenades.

Not only had he raised them all to the level of Top Grade Postnatal Spiritual Treasures,

he had also refined countless Laws into them, allowing their explosions to carry traces of Law power. If a million exploded at once, even a Mixed Origin Golden Immortal would be left half-dead, or even perish entirely!

It was undoubtedly the path in which he had progressed fastest.

If he possessed the Heaven and Earth Cauldron, then as long as he had sufficient materials, refining Top Grade Acquired Spiritual Treasures would pose no difficulty at all.

As for Array Dao, he had initially entered the realm of using all things in heaven and earth and the Chaos Void to set formations.

Compared to Di Tian's peaceful environment, where he had gained greatly and his cultivation and strength had soared,

the situation on the Primordial Land was not good at all.

As time passed, the three races had already divided the Four Seas and Eight Desolations among themselves, becoming the undisputed overlords of the Primordial World!

And the consequence of this three-way standoff was unending war. Every moment, countless living beings were caught up in it and destroyed.

Under the corrosion of Tribulation baleful qi, Karmic Force, and Sin, even the gentlest races became bloodthirsty and irritable, fighting to the death the moment they struck!

Corpse Mountain Blood Sea, Ten Thousand Li Futu, souls of the dead covering the earth, baleful qi filling the sky—none of these could adequately describe heaven and earth as they now were.

Even the Blood Sea, where all the filth of heaven and earth gathered and which was reputed to be the foulest place of all,

appeared exceptionally refined, quiet, and peaceful in comparison to the outside world...
