Dao Ancestor, I Have Something to Tell You! East King Duke's Conspiracy!

Those who invade the Primordial World shall be punished, no matter how far they flee!

The Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods were not completely annihilated; they lurk faintly in the depths of Chaos, some hidden within the void of the Heavenly Dao, polluting it with Tribulation Inauspicious Qi.

As the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao, Dao Ancestor Hongjun does not allow anyone to defy the Heavenly Might.

Old Ancestor Yangmei is also a remnant of the Chaos Demon Gods.

During the War of Dao and Demon, Dao Ancestor Hongjun set a scheme, first causing the deaths of Old Ancestor Qiankun and Old Ancestor Yin-Yang, then driving Demon Ancestor Luohu and Old Ancestor Yangmei out of the Primordial World, thus becoming the orthodox of the Heavenly Dao.

In this way, he was able to prove Dao and become a Saint, now possessing boundless Immortal Power.

If Old Ancestor Yangmei were to obtain the Hollow Willow Tree, his origin would be restored, and his cultivation would break through from Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin to the Great Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin realm.

At that point, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Even if Dao Ancestor Hongjun mobilized the Power of the Heavenly Dao and sacrificed all living beings in the Primordial World, he could not stop Old Ancestor Yangmei outside the World Barrier.

If the Primordial World were to revert to Chaos, the Three Thousand Demon Gods would surely descend once more.

The aura of the Three Thousand Demon Gods from the World-Opening Tribulation has not completely dissipated; if not for the suppression of the Heavenly Dao, they would have long roamed freely beyond the Great Dao.

"Fellow Daoist Hongjun, do you truly intend to stop me?"

"Although you are at the peak of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin realm, a minor realm higher than This Humble One, my Space Divine Staff has already transformed; its Innate Restrictions have all become Chaos Restrictions, making it a Top-grade Chaos Spirit Treasure!"

"Hongjun, you should know the power of a Top-grade Chaos Spirit Treasure. This Humble One does not wish to fight you to the death for now. Why not each take a step back and value harmony?"

Old Ancestor Yangmei wore a cyan Dao robe, upon which Space Divine Patterns surfaced. He stood amidst the Chaos Qi Flow, and Space Dao Principles rippled outward.

His Law was perfected, placing him at Quasi-Saint Peak.

Above Law lie the Three Thousand Great Daos, which living beings cultivate as Dao Principles.

Mastering the basics of Dao Principles allows one to prove Dao as a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin.

Minor accomplishment in Dao Principles places one at the peak of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin, while Great Accomplishment and Perfection correspond to the Great Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin and Limitless Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin realms respectively.

At this moment, Old Ancestor Yangmei's Space Dao Principles had half-stepped into Minor Accomplishment, allowing him to employ the techniques he once used during the World-Opening Tribulation.

"Fellow Daoist Yangmei, your words are mistaken!"

"The Hollow Willow Tree was born within the Primordial World; it is a treasure under the Heavenly Dao. How can it still be connected to you?"

"East King Duke, are you willing to hand over the Space Willow Tree?"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun spoke slowly, his tone showing no weakness.

Killing intent raged within Chaos, and the Chaos Wind that arose tore through countless spaces. Infinite chaotic energies transformed in myriad ways, giving birth to endless phenomena.

As soon as these words were spoken, Old Ancestor Yangmei finally took East King Duke seriously.

He wore a Crimson Gold Dao Robe adorned with Yin Yang Divine Patterns, a Purple Gold Divine Crown on his head, exuding an aura of majesty. Faint Laws of Strength and Immortal Dao Laws coiled around him.

"So you are the junior who took This Humble One's main body!"

"No wonder Hongjun is willing to speak for you—you have inherited his Immortal Dao Law, and you also cultivate Pangu's Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique, using the Yin-Yang Demon God's origin to forge a Chaos Demon God Body. Truly a seedling with potential!"

"Grand Unity Three Flowers Twelve Petals, comparable to Pangu himself. Then This Humble One cannot let you live today!"

Old Ancestor Yangmei's eyes pierced through the River of Life, seeing through East King Duke's secrets with lightning speed. The shock on his face was immense.

He stood dumbfounded, eyes wide and mouth agape!

In an instant, Old Ancestor Yangmei marked East King Duke as his primary mortal enemy.

One must know that Pangu was the bane of the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods, and the East King Duke before him had a high probability of becoming the second living being to master the Great Dao of Strength. When that day came, it would be the end for Old Ancestor Yangmei.

Therefore, he had to be on guard!

"Greetings, Senior Yangmei. This Emperor greatly admires your Space Great Dao. How about this: when I reach the same realm as you in the future, I will completely devour and refine you?"

"You want to kill me? You cannot!"

East King Duke said forcefully, his overbearing mana rampaging.

The reason Old Ancestor Yangmei could see through his secrets was that East King Duke had deliberately withdrawn the Chaos Bead's effect of obscuring Heavenly Secrets. Otherwise, even with the Space Demon God's power, failing to see through the details of a mere Early-stage Quasi-Saint junior would inevitably breed suspicion.

What East King Duke intended was to join forces with Dao Ancestor Hongjun as much as possible to either kill Old Ancestor Yangmei or at least severely wound him.

"Brat with a yellow mouth, spouting wild words—get lost!"

Old Ancestor Yangmei roared in anger, then turned his gaze to Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

"Hongjun, This Humble One will say this one last time: hand over East King Duke and the Space Willow Tree, and we can coexist peacefully. I can also help you deal with the other Chaos Demon Gods."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude. Though you can command the power of the entire Primordial World, This Humble One is deep within the Chaos Void, with boundless mana. I will make you pay!"

Suppressing the fury in his heart, Old Ancestor Yangmei once again negotiated terms with Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

The atmosphere froze, and killing intent surged.

[Ding!]

[God-Tier Selection Mission refreshed. The host now has three choices:]

[Choice One: Feign compliance, hand over the Space Willow Tree, and acknowledge Old Ancestor Yangmei as your adoptive father. Reward: Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Root, Green Willow.]

[Choice Two: Join forces with Dao Ancestor Hongjun to kill Old Ancestor Yangmei. Reward: Pangu Great God Power Origin, which can help the host advance to Limitless Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin.]

[Choice Three: Have Dao Ancestor Hongjun act, severely wounding Old Ancestor Yangmei, reward one World Tree Seed.]

The seductive and charming System Feminine Voice appeared within East King Duke's Primordial Spirit.

Three choices, profoundly mysterious.

"A true man stands between heaven and earth—how could he languish under another's thumb? So this business of recognizing Old Ancestor Yangmei as a foster father is out of the question. After all, This Emperor does not possess Lü Bu's Fang Tian Hua Ji!"

"System, I suspect you're deliberately trying to disgust me and disturb my Dao heart!"

East King Duke mused, ruling out the first choice.

Within the boundless Void, Dao Ancestor Hongjun offered up the Jade Disk of Creation. It too was a Chaos Spirit Treasure, but only of mid-grade, incomparable to the Space Divine Staff.

During the World-Opening Tribulation, the Jade Disk of Creation—originally a Chaos Supreme Treasure—had shattered into pieces. Dao Ancestor Hongjun had gathered countless fragments but only recovered half, hence the treasure's insufficient grade.

"Dao Ancestor, if I gave you a Chaos Supreme Treasure, could you annihilate Old Ancestor Yangmei?"

The temptation of the Pangu Great God Power Origin was immense, but East King Duke truly lacked confidence in Dao Ancestor Hongjun. After all, Old Ancestor Yangmei was a sly old fox, and his Space Dao Principles made his escape techniques extremely swift.

The Chaos Space was Old Ancestor Yangmei's home turf.

"If it were an ordinary Chaos Demon God, even without a treasure, I could annihilate them with the Immortal Dao Principles. But Yangmei's Space Dao Principles conceal unknown mysteries, so I cannot kill him."

"However, if I truly had a Chaos Supreme Treasure, severely wounding Old Ancestor Yangmei would be no problem!"

"No way, no way—do you really have a Chaos Supreme Treasure?"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun secretly transmitted his voice to East King Duke. At first, he didn't react, thinking East King Duke was daydreaming, but then things took a turn.

This brat had many tricks up his sleeve; perhaps he really did possess a Chaos Supreme Treasure.

Thinking this, even Dao Ancestor Hongjun felt tempted, almost wanting to tear East King Duke apart to study what kind of freak he was.

A Chaos Supreme Treasure could only recognize one master.

When its master was in danger, it could actively protect them, unleashing power far beyond a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin. Thus, Dao Ancestor Hongjun would not seize the treasure.

What he valued was East King Duke's potential.

Likewise, East King Duke was Dao Ancestor Hongjun's trump card against the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods. Their relationship was both master and friend, surpassing all other Innate Deities.

"Dao Ancestor, don't rush. First, return within the World Barrier—I have something to tell you!"

East King Duke transmitted.

Immediately, Dao Ancestor Hongjun appeared beside him like a ghost, his kindly smile sending a chill down East King Duke's spine.

Could it be that the Dao Ancestor had some peculiar hobby?

"Fuck him up—this bead can deliver a thunderous surprise attack on Old Ancestor Yangmei at the critical moment. Trying to take my Space Willow Tree means paying the price!"

"If possible, I can snatch that old man's Space Divine Staff—a solid Top-grade Chaos Spirit Treasure. Truly mouthwatering!"

Immortal mist billowed, concealing the Heavenly Secrets.

East King Duke secretly slipped the Chaos Bead to Dao Ancestor Hongjun. As for the Hongmeng Immortal Palace within it, he stored it in his Primordial Spirit—that was his real trump card.

"Great Good!"

"I never expected you to obtain this treasure. During the Chaos Era, the Three Thousand Demon Gods and Pangu Great God searched for countless eons without any trace!"

"Now, watch how I defeat Old Ancestor Yangmei!"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun's aura thickened, his spirit undergoing a complete transformation.

At this moment, he was not the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao, but the spirited youth who once fought against the beast hordes and stood at the pinnacle of the Primordial Wilderness!

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining the World Tree Seed!]

Within the Primordial Spirit, the System Big Sister Voice rang out.

A seed shimmering with cyan light evolved visions within East King Duke's sea of consciousness. In an instant, the cosmos and universe reset; the next moment, the river of life and time flowed backward.

The World Tree Seed—what mysteries did it hold?
