A Journey Beyond the Realm, A Scheme for the Primordial World

The moment the system and the transmigrators descended upon the Primordial World, Dao Venerable Shichen and Pangu, who were wandering far beyond the Hundun, felt a simultaneous stir in their hearts.

Pangu glanced back toward the depths of the Hundun, his brows furrowed. "Shichen, it seems many anomalies have appeared in the Primordial World."

Shichen nodded, his gaze profound. "The origin and fortune of the Primordial World are vast beyond measure; it is bound to attract an increasing number of prying eyes."

"Traveling to find worlds one by one like this is too inefficient and wastes too much time. Once we return to the Hundun, I intend to actively expose the coordinates of the Primordial World."

Pangu was taken aback. "Actively expose them?"

A smile played on the corners of Shichen's mouth.

"Exposing the coordinates will not only attract more systems but also lure other worlds to approach us of their own accord. That will save us from having to hunt them down everywhere."

Pangu pondered this for a moment, his eyes lighting up. "That makes sense! Then let's finish dealing with this one before us and head back immediately!"

The two no longer delayed, accelerating as they flew toward the world indicated by the coordinates.

Soon, a vast world appeared before their eyes.

The world was boundless and filled with abundant spiritual energy. While it was far inferior to the Primordial World, it could still be considered a top-tier great world.

However, the moment Shichen and Pangu arrived at the boundary of this world, the pressure naturally radiating from them caused the space within it to tremble violently, threatening to collapse at any moment.

Inside the world, two figures sensed this terrifying pressure simultaneously, their expressions changing drastically.

"An expert from beyond the realm has descended!" one of them said in a deep voice.

The two exchanged a look and quickly communicated via telepathy: "These two possess profound origins; their home world must be rich in resources. If we can take them down, extract their coordinates through soul-searching, and refine their world, we will be able to reach a higher level!"

Having reached a consensus, the two flashed and appeared outside the boundary of the world.

One of them stepped forward, staring at Shichen and Pangu with ill intent, and shouted coldly, "Outsiders, halt! Why have you come?"

Shichen scanned the pair. Both possessed the cultivation of the first heaven of the Hunyuan realm, which likely made them the pinnacle existences within this world.

Pangu grinned, answering without the slightest concealment, "Naturally, we have come for worlds like yours."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the two changed simultaneously.

One of them, a Daoist carrying a long sword on his back, flew into a rage. His sword rang out as it was unsheathed. "Presumptuous! Is the Tianyuan Divine World something you can covet?"

His gaze swept over Shichen and Pangu, eventually settling on Shichen.

In his view, Pangu's aura of power was explosive and not easily dealt with, so he turned his attention to the composed Shichen, pointing his sword tip directly at him.

"I am Sword Ancestor Tianyuan! My sword dao can shatter stars and cleave the heavens! Come out and fight!"

Shichen and Pangu exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of strange amusement in the other's eyes.

"He certainly knows how to pick an opponent," Pangu shrugged.

Shichen stepped forward, standing with his hands behind his back, and said indifferently, "Make your move."

Seeing Shichen's calm and breezy expression, Sword Ancestor Tianyuan was incensed. "Scoundrel! How dare you look down on me!"

He took a deep breath, his sword intent surging, and his long sword erupted with blinding white light.

"Star-Shattering Slash!"

Sword Ancestor Tianyuan roared and slashed down.

A sword light a million zhang long emerged from the void, transforming into a giant silver-white dragon that struck down toward Shichen.

The other Hunyuan-realm expert watching from afar nodded repeatedly, praising, "I didn't expect the Sword Ancestor to use his finishing move right away. This strike is enough to shatter a Great Thousand World. This man is surely doomed."

However, facing that world-destroying strike, Shichen extended a finger and tapped lightly in front of him.

The Law of Time flowed.

The space occupied by that million-zhang sword light began to regress rapidly. In a single breath, tens of thousands of Hundun epochs passed.

The sword light did not even have time to struggle before it dissipated, and that patch of space, under the power of time, regressed back into its most primitive, void-like Hundun state.

Sword Ancestor Tianyuan's pupils shrank, his expression freezing.

"The... Dao of Time?" His voice trembled.

Shichen did not waste words and tapped his finger again.

A force of time silently swept across Sword Ancestor Tianyuan's body. The Sword Ancestor's hair turned white in an instant, his skin withered and wrinkled, and the vitality within him vanished like flowing water.

Before he could even let out a scream, he turned into dust and dissipated into the void.

A Hunyuan fell, and heaven and earth mourned together.

Within the Tianyuan Divine World, the sky suddenly turned dim, and blood-colored rain fell from the heavens; the entire world wept for the fall of this supreme expert.

The remaining Hunyuan-realm expert turned pale, his entire body trembling. "The Dao of Time... how is it possible... how could anyone control time... time is clearly uncontrollable..."

Pangu shouldered the Pangu Axe and strode forward, grinning. "Shichen, leave the rest to me."

He then looked at the remaining Hunyuan-realm expert and said, "I could sense the malice you held from the very beginning. I didn't intend to destroy you, but since you sought your own death, you have only yourselves to blame."

Upon hearing this, a flash of madness crossed the man's eyes. "Presumptuous! So what if you control time! I will fight you to the death!"

He roared, his Hunyuan-realm cultivation erupting at full force, his origin burning rapidly. A sky full of thunder and lightning surged around him, condensing into a massive thunder spear that he hurled violently at Pangu.

Pangu didn't even look at the thunder spear; he held his axe in one hand and slashed down.

The axe light cut through the thunder spear like tofu, then instantly pierced through the man's body.

The man didn't even have time to react, his expression freezing on his face.

He looked down at the crack in his chest and tremblingly pointed at Pangu. "You..."

Pangu retracted his axe and shrugged. "What about me? I'm just pure strong."

As the words fell, the man's body split down the middle, turning into two halves before exploding into a sky full of light spots that dissipated into the void.

After dealing with the two, Shichen and Pangu were just about to enter the world when a golden light suddenly shone from the depths of the world, condensing into a blurry humanoid phantom.

The moment the Heavenly Dao of Tianyuan World appeared, it hurriedly spoke, "I beg the two Dao Venerables to stop! Your realms are too high; if you enter the world, it will collapse instantly!"

Shichen raised an eyebrow. "Oh? You recognize us?"

The tone of the Heavenly Dao of Tianyuan World immediately became respectful.

"When you two made your move just now, I recognized you. The names of Dao Venerable Shichen and Dao Venerable Pangu shine upon the heavens. I once caught a glimpse of the two Dao Venerables' demeanor in the fragments of ancient time. My reverence for you is as endless as the nine-heaven galaxy..."

"Stop, stop, stop," Shichen raised a hand to interrupt it. "Enough with the chatter. Why is everyone like this? Who did you all learn this from?"

"Since you recognize us, things will be easy. Hand over eighty percent of your origin and let me brand you and all the small worlds surrounding you with the mark of the Primordial World. Later, we will open an ascension channel to the Primordial World."

The Heavenly Dao of Tianyuan World hesitated upon hearing this.

Eighty percent of its origin... wasn't that demanding its life? If it handed over eighty percent, its world would have to regress for countless epochs before it could slowly recover.

Seeing its hesitation, Pangu slammed the Pangu Axe into the void, creating a dull, thunderous sound that made the Heavenly Dao of the world tremble.

"What? You are of the same origin as our world, yet you are unwilling to coexist?"

The Heavenly Dao of Tianyuan World was startled, hurriedly saying, "Willing! I am willing! To coexist with the worlds of the Dao Venerables is something I have longed for! Longed for!"

Enduring the pain, it slowly separated a golden ball of origin light from within itself and, with a pained look, tossed the ball toward Pangu.

Pangu caught the origin and nodded with satisfaction.

Shichen raised his hand and waved, and the River of Time emerged before him. As the waves surged, the projection of the Star Demon God slowly condensed on the surface of the river.

The Star Demon God looked at Shichen with some confusion. "Shichen? Why do you seek me?"

Shichen said briefly, "I need to trouble you to drag this world and all its affiliated small worlds back to the vicinity of the Primordial World and brand them with the Primordial mark. Afterward, open a channel for ascension to the Primordial World; the ascension requirement can be set to the True Immortal realm."

"Pangu and I need to return to the Hundun quickly to handle matters regarding the Primordial World."

Having said this, he flicked his hand, separated ten percent from the world origin, and tossed it toward the Star Demon God.

The Star Demon God caught the origin, sensed it, and nodded with satisfaction. "Good, leave it to me."

Shichen and Pangu stopped wasting words, flashed, and disappeared from the spot.

The Heavenly Dao of Tianyuan World looked cautiously at the Star Demon God's projection, its tone respectful yet tinged with anxiety. "Senior... how should I cooperate with what Dao Venerable Shichen said?"

The Star Demon God's eyelids twitched.

Good for you, little thing. You call Shichen a Dao Venerable, but to me, you call me Senior? I am very petty.

He snorted coldly and said indifferently, "Hmph, once I descend via the coordinates, I will drag you over."

The Heavenly Dao of Tianyuan World nodded hurriedly. "Yes, yes, everything is as you command, Senior."

Hearing the word "Senior" again, the Star Demon God glared at it before dissipating into the River of Time.

The Heavenly Dao of Tianyuan World scratched its head in confusion, not knowing how it had offended this one.

Looking at the eighty percent of its origin missing from within, it felt a sharp pang of heartache, but it consoled itself, "Forget it, forget it. Being able to coexist with the world of such existences can be considered a stroke of creation..."

It retreated into the depths of the world and began preparing for the upcoming relocation.
