"Your Majesty Eastern Emperor! The Human Race's Forbidden Zone is about to open—does that mean His Majesty the Demon Emperor can also come out?"
Ji Meng, one of the Demon Court's ten great Demon Marshals, followed close behind Eastern Emperor Taiyi as he asked.
For the past millennium, because Demon Emperor Di Jun had been ordered by Empress Nuwa to enter a thousand-year seclusion and was forbidden to leave, the Wu Clan had been suppressing their Demon Clan.
If not for Eastern Emperor Taiyi using the Xiantian Supreme Treasure, the Chaos Bell, to suppress the Heavenly Court's great destiny, the Heavenly Court's face would have been lost entirely!
Many Demon Clan disciples had been holding in a breath of frustration.
They urgently needed Demon Emperor Di Jun to lead them in reclaiming the Demon Clan's dignity.
To once again appear in the Primordial World with the bearing of a sovereign.
"Mm..." Eastern Emperor Taiyi's gaze was sharp, but he only responded with a perfunctory word.
He had focused all his attention on the changes occurring at the Heavenly Chasm Great Abyss ahead.
The Chaos Heavenly Chasm of the Human Race's Forbidden Zone was about to collapse.
For the Demon Clan, it was hard to say whether this was good or bad.
"The Millennium Period passes in the blink of an eye! That sword strike back then still makes my heart tremble. I have never dared to take a single step into this Chaos Heavenly Chasm!"
The Chaos Outer Heavens shook. Ming He of the Blood Sea stared at the Heavenly Chasm Great Abyss with some trepidation, speaking of the terrifying power of this Forbidden Zone.
Without being a Saint, one truly could not break through.
"Do you still remember? That Human Emperor back then used ultimate Dao techniques to breach the Saint's barrier. But he also incurred a great karmic debt. How is he now? Has he already fallen?"
Beside him, the Ancestor of Earth Immortals, Zhen Yuanzi, was shaken in spirit, his gaze sharp as a blade.
He said: "That is the New Lord of the Human Dao! He enjoys immortality and indestructibility just like a Saint! A great karmic debt can only stall him, not kill him."
"The Lord of the Human Dao—that is a Human Dao which even the Dao Ancestor and the Saints have openly acknowledged can coexist with the Heavenly Dao."
In their eyes, there was both fear and envy.
"Back then, a Little Girl from the Wu Clan walked into the Human Race's Forbidden Zone. The Millennium Period has arrived. I wonder if she has already obtained the Great Destiny within the Human Race's Forbidden Zone."
"If that is truly the case, with the Human Dao's destiny added to her, she may in the future be able to ascend to a level equal to the Dao Ancestor."
"The Wu Clan might have struck gold this time."
As the two spoke, they turned their gazes toward the remaining eleven Ancestor Witches who had arrived early.
Except for Houtu, all the other Ancestor Witches were present!
"Di Jiang, the Human Race's Heavenly Chasm Great Abyss is collapsing. Should we make a move?"
Zhurong had a fiery temper. After waiting for nearly a millennium, the moment he saw a change, he could no longer hold back.
"Wait a little longer!" Di Jiang did not act rashly. The more critical the moment, the more one had to endure.
Whoever made the first move would inevitably incur a great karmic debt.
And not just the Heavenly Dao's karma—there was also the Human Dao's karma.
"Little Sister is not in danger. Her soul lamp imprint is still there. Within the Human Race, aside from that Human Emperor, there should be no one who can harm her. Moreover, that Human Emperor used supreme Dao principles to open up such a Forbidden Zone, exhausting all his means. He likely cannot threaten Little Sister either."
As the eldest of the twelve Ancestor Witches, it was only natural for Di Jiang to remain steady even as the Heavenly Chasm Great Abyss was collapsing.
"Although the Heavenly Chasm Great Abyss is collapsing, the Human Dao Rule Order entwined with the Chaos Aura within it is still lethal to any clan in the Primordial World. They are slowly dissipating now. It shouldn't be long!"
"Mm!"
The several Ancestor Witches nodded in agreement.
They had waited nearly a thousand years—what did a few more years, or even less, matter?
To them, wasn't that just the time it took to doze off?
"We still have more important matters to consider now... Back then, the Demon Emperor Di Jun was ordered by Saint Nuwa to enter a thousand-year seclusion. He will likely be coming out soon."
"Over the past millennium, while he was in seclusion, the Wu Clan has been locked in relentless slaughter with the Demon Clan. At its most brutal, we even fought our way up to the Demon Court. Once Di Jun emerges from seclusion, he will not swallow this grievance lightly."
"Let him come! As if we're afraid of him! Sooner or later, we'll turn his Demon Court into the Wu Clan's backyard!" Zhurong, with his explosive temper, immediately bristled, his voice booming.
"I have a premonition that the final calamity is not far off." A sensation stirred in Di Jiang's heart, making him tremble with unease.
Upon hearing this, the Ancestor Witch Gong Gong vented his pent-up resentment.
"In this past millennium, the Demon Clan has replenished their Demon Gods. The Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array can still be activated. But our Twelve Capital Celestial Evil Array is missing Little Sister. We cannot unleash its most powerful force to oppose them."
"Why are they, the Demon Clan, born with Heaven-and-Earth supreme treasures that can suppress the destiny of their Demon Court?"
"Their replenishment of life-source power far surpasses that of our Wu Clan."
"If you ask me, the Heavenly Dao may claim to be just, but it is also unjust!"
"No wonder Father God Pangu once sought to forcefully prove the Great Dao!"
"Silence!" Di Jiang shot Gong Gong a glare and said: "The Heavenly Dao is the will of the Primordial World. Do not speak of it lightly!"
"We do not have that Human Emperor of the Human Race, who could open a new Dao, take his place within it, and leap out of the long river of the Heavenly Dao."
"Tch..." Gong Gong turned his head away in indignation and said no more.
The Wu Clan were born proud; aside from Father God Pangu, they only respected the Dao Ancestor Hongjun out of fear for his strength.
"Then what about us? Do we keep guarding here?"
Xuan Ming, the only woman left among the eleven Ancestral Witches, asked Di Jiang.
"If the enemy doesn't move, we won't either. If the Chaos Chasm Great Abyss completely dissipates and those two from the Demon Race use their Xiantian Supreme Treasures against Little Sister, I'm afraid regret will be too late." Di Jiang looked toward the direction of the Demon Race's Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
The other party noticed his gaze and immediately shot back a sharp look.
Like needlepoint against an awl.
"Hmph!" Eastern Emperor Taiyi snorted coldly.
Even facing eleven Ancestral Witches alone, he showed no fear!
It had almost become the norm for the Witch and Demon Clans to fight to the death on sight.
If not for the eerie Chaos Chasm Great Abyss in the Human Forbidden Zone, which carried the Human Dao Rule Order and could easily erase all energy below the Saint level, they would have started fighting long ago.
Could they still be standing here in calm confrontation?
Outer Heavens...
Several Saintly thoughts swept across the Chaos Chasm Great Abyss, trying to probe into the Human Forbidden Zone.
They wanted to see how far the Human Race, having passed the Millennium Period, could grow after regaining their Great Destiny.
But Jieyin Daoist was puzzled.
"Strange. My thoughts can pass through the Chaos Chasm, but I cannot see through anything in the Human Forbidden Zone. There is a rule order there that does not belong to the Heavenly Dao."
"Could it be that in just a thousand years, the Human Dao has already taken shape?"
"No! Absolutely impossible! When Pangu split the chaos and the Primordial Continent appeared, the Heavenly Dao took an immeasurably long time to form."
"The Human Dao was only established a thousand years ago—how could it have taken shape so quickly!"
"If it really formed this fast, wouldn't the Emperor of the Human Race, as the Lord of the Human Dao, be able to merge directly with the Human Dao and rise above all of us?"
"I just caught a trace of something—like a powerful Human Dao rule formation, separating the entire Forbidden Zone from the Heavenly Dao."
"It seems to be competing with the Heavenly Dao for the territory of the Primordial World."
The Two Sages of the West spoke back and forth, quickly grasping the essence.
The Nine Seals of Forbidden Immortals of the Origin Heavenly Dao Law sealed off assimilation by the Heavenly Dao Rules, preserving the Human Dao Rule Order.
It was like the Chaos Chasm Great Abyss, dividing the Primordial World from the Human World.

"I have a plan!"
"The Human Race has just established the Human Dao. Grand Pure's Human Teachings were abolished, but the Three Pure Ones remain one body. Nuwa, as the Demon Ancestor, established the Demon Teachings and is now the absolute foremost in the Primordial World, second only to Master Hongjun."
"Only the two of us have never received great fortune, always lagging behind others."
"If the newly rising Human Dao becomes our great fortune, it is absolutely possible for us to surpass the other Saints in the future!"
Jieyin wore the expression of a schemer plotting the heavens, utterly at odds with his solemn, dignified appearance.
Zhunti Daoist's eyes darted around, full of calculation.
He asked, "How do we do it?"
Jieyin reached out, using the vast Chaos Aura to shroud the Heavenly secrets, ensuring no other Saint could perceive them.
"Listen closely, and I will explain in detail..."
After a long while, the two Saints' thoughts withdrew from the Chaos Chasm Great Abyss.
They headed straight for Tang Valley!
