The news that "the Heavenly Dao was about to destroy the Primordial World" soon spread throughout the Primordial World!
This time, Houtu opened the Six Paths of Reincarnation completely!
Over a thousand Daluo Golden Immortals and more than a dozen Quasi-Sages stripped away all their power and temporarily entrusted it to the Earthly Dao!
All of them plunged into reincarnation!
This time, the Earthly Dao's Six Paths of Reincarnation did not determine their births and races according to their sins and merits!
Instead, this group-the finest batch of souls available for rebirth since reincarnation was established-was sent entirely into the mortal world!
They could become cattle, dogs, horses, or humans!
But they absolutely could not go up to the heavens and become celestial beings!
Even birds from the Heavenly Court were eligible!
Meanwhile, something momentous happened in the Lingxiao Heavenly Court that day!
The Jade Emperor, who had always approached everything with a mild, spineless attitude, was gone!
Instead, a middle-aged man in white robes sat upon the imperial throne in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall!
The first thing he did was raise his hand and press down!
In an instant!
Throughout the Lingxiao Thirty-Three Heavens Realm, everyone working, attending court, slacking off, cultivating, shirking their duties, or looking for a partner!
All stood up involuntarily!
And then...
Thud!
The sound of knees hitting the ground echoed through practically every corner of the Thirty-Three Heavens!
Whether the cultivators looked like animals, plants, or kindly, otherworldly immortals!
They all knelt on the ground!
"I have returned!"
Haotian's very first words carried such overwhelming authority!
Beside him, the sole exception, Yaochi, the Queen Mother of the West, watched him with stars in her eyes.
It was as though the entire Milky Way she had drawn with her own hand flowed within them!
