Method of Calamity Avoidance and the Grand Prologue of the Second Lecture at Zixiao Palace

"That... what kind of towering mountain is that?!"

Deep within the Supreme Mystery Immortal Sect in the Ziwei Star Domain.

Supreme Mystery True Lord, who had just returned to the sect to enter seclusion and comprehend the True Meaning of Listening to the Dao, suddenly spat out a mouthful of counterflowing blood. His figure swayed, and he nearly tumbled down from the nine heavens!

He stared blankly in the distance at the broken mountain pillar in the center of the universe that pierced through dozens of star systems. Sensing the lingering Pangu might emanating from that mountain body—a power that could easily crush the entire Ziwei Star Domain—his Dao heart trembled frantically at this moment!

"The Heaven-Supporting Pillar! That is the Heaven-Supporting Pillar that holds up the Primordial World!"

Supreme Mystery True Lord's eye sockets split open, and he cried out in a lost voice:

"Who is it? Exactly who... could actually snap the Heaven-Supporting Pillar alive?! Why has this heaven and earth collapsed into this current state?!"

Not only him.

In the Primordial Demon Realm, Tu Shanye, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Ancestor, looked at the phantom of the Eastern Emperor Bell hanging at the apex of the void. All the fox fur across his entire body instantly stood on end, emitting wails of deep-seated terror and submission from the very source of his bloodline:

"The Eastern Emperor Bell... That is the natal supreme treasure of His Majesty Eastern Emperor Taiyi, the supreme ruler of the Primordial Demon Clan Heavenly Court!"

"Could it be that after the defeat and demise of Ancestral Dragon and Yuanfeng, my Demon Clan once established a Heavenly Court that ruled the heavens and myriad realms?! Then these twelve towering, ferocious phantoms battling His Majesty the Eastern Emperor... what kind of terrifying race are they?!"

In the Heavenly Demon Great Realm, the Canglan Realm, and the ancient clans and rogue immortal giants across the countless Great Thousand Worlds, everyone plunged into unspeakable shock and chaos at this moment!

The Buzhou Heavenly Pillar snapped!

The Demon Clan Heavenly Court plummeted!

The Ancestral Witches died and their Dao dissipated!

These fiercely tragic Primordial scenes, which had utterly shattered the Primordial Continent and caused the entire universe to evolve into today's fragmented star realms, laid bare a "second calamity" without the slightest reservation before the eyes of the world!

In the Canglan Realm, atop the Primeval Main Peak.

Ji Changkong and Lin Qiye stood shoulder to shoulder.

The golden mark deep within Lin Qiye's forehead erupted with unprecedented dark-gold divine radiance. His Heavenly Eye stared fixedly at the Eastern Emperor Bell phantom and the Twelve Ancestral Witch War Souls, while the Eight-Nine Profound Art within his body surged like roaring thunder!

"The second Calamity Cycle..."

Lin Qiye pressed his hands tightly against the broken sword on his back, his gaze burning and heavy:

"The Dragon-Phoenix Primordial Calamity crippled the heaven and earth, while this second calamity... directly snapped the Primordial Heaven-Supporting Pillar, shattering the Primordial Continent into today's myriad star realms!"

"Between this heaven and earth... such a terrifying calamity actually occurred!"

Ji Changkong's face was even paler than paper, and his voice trembled: "Qiye... did you see that? Every single one of those experts from the Primordial Witch race and the Demon Clan Heavenly Court was no weaker than true Immortals! Yet amid this calamity, they were still smashed to pieces, and even the Heaven-Supporting Pillar broke!"

"If we... if we cannot find a Calamity-Avoidance Method, when the next calamity arrives, the entire myriad star realms... will likely turn completely into nothingness!"

Fear!

Unprecedented, bone-deep ultimate panic spread frantically across every inch of land in the Three Great Star Domains and the Thirty-Seven Great Thousand Worlds!

All immortal cultivators—whether they were the lofty Tribulation Transcendence Stage old monsters, half-step Human Immortals, or ordinary disciples at the bottom—sensed their own insignificance and fragility at this moment.

They finally understood why today's universal spiritual Qi was so thin, why the immortal path was severed, and why Great Emperors never manifested!

It was because the starry sky beneath their feet was not a complete world at all, but merely... continental fragments left behind after the Primordial World was shattered back then!

All living beings in the entire universe yearned and begged!

They begged the supreme Dao Ancestor Hongjun to manifest once more, begged the Zixiao Palace beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens to open again, and begged the Dao Ancestor to bestow the supreme Calamity-Avoidance Method capable of crossing the calamity and transcending life and death!

Myriad realms paid homage!

Hundreds of millions of living beings knelt kowtowing in various small worlds, worshiping toward the nine-heaven void, chanting aloud, "Mercy, Dao Ancestor Hongjun!"

Yet amid this universal frenzied worship and the extreme atmosphere of heightened crisis, the Library Pavilion in the Canglan Realm remained silent.

Su Chen sat quietly and calmly behind the wooden desk, listening to the system prompt ringing as violently as a universal explosion deep within his mind, absolute coldness and composure circulating in the depths of his eyes.

[Ding!] Manifested scenes [Buzhou Mountain Remnant], [Eastern Emperor Bell Phantom], and [Twelve Ancestral Witch War Souls] have successfully evolved!

[Congratulations, Host! Total current available Karma Points: 18,600,000 points!]

"Eighteen million six hundred thousand Karma Points!"

Looking at the massive capital pool on the panel that had crossed into eight digits, Su Chen slowly put down the feather whisk in his hand.

The timing was right.

Fear had accumulated to its peak, cognition had been completely rewritten, and the absolute top powerhouses and hundreds of millions of living beings across the universe had all regarded "Zixiao Palace" as the sole beacon of salvation in this dark universe.

"Since you all yearn so much to avoid calamity, so much to attain the Dao..."

Su Chen brushed a speck of dust from his cyan robe, the corners of his lips curling into a profound smile overlooking the grand scheme:

"Then this seat... shall grant your wish."

Su Chen's slender fingers pressed heavily into the void, thoroughly activating the long-prepared supreme lecture program within the Tier 4 and Tier 5 exchange zones—

[Second Lecture at Zixiao Palace: Three Corpses Severance Method and Merit of Establishing a Religion!]

"System! Consume six million Karma Points!"

"Lock onto the Listening-to-the-Dao Marks, and guide the souls of seven Dao Listeners!"

"Open—Beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, the Second Lecture at Zixiao Palace!"

"Boom—!!"

At this moment, the Dao rules of the entire myriad star realms resounded once more!

Seven streams of supremely noble purple-gold immortal light broke through the void from the lowest depths, instantly plunging into the souls of Lin Qiye, Ji Changkong, Supreme Mystery True Lord, Tu Shanye, Netherworld Blood Emperor, Canghai Old Daoist, and the youth Ye Chen!

"Hum!"

The souls of the seven were once again enveloped by a mighty force transcending the myriad realms, tearing through dimensions and space to head straight for Zixiao Palace within the Chaos Forbidden Zone beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens!

A supreme drama concerning the rewriting of the future landscape of the myriad realms, revolving around "merit and the establishment of a religion," abruptly raised its heavy second act!
