The aftershocks of Nuwa becoming a Saint had yet to subside, and all beings of the Primordial World eagerly awaited the Chaos lecture three thousand years later.
Ming Xin did not return to The West. Instead, he found a secluded valley near Buzhou Mountain and set down restrictions.
He decided to make full use of these precious three thousand years to thoroughly absorb the merit and insights he had gained from protecting the Dao and enlightening Nuwa.
The valley was deep and tranquil, filled with dense spiritual qi. Ming Xin sat cross-legged, his eyes gleaming sharply.
"The power of merit is a reward from the Heavenly Dao. It contains the mysteries of Creation and cannot be sought at will.
"If I do not use it now, when will I?" With a thought, he drew forth the pure Merit Golden Thread he had obtained from Nuwa's creation of humanity.
Rather than using it to enhance his Magic Power, he slowly burned it like the most precious fuel!
Golden flames rose from the depths of his primordial spirit. They were not scorching; instead, they radiated an indescribable brilliance of clarity, wisdom, and comprehension!
Illuminated by the flames of merit, he felt his speed of thought, flashes of insight, and sensitivity toward the laws of the Great Dao increase by more than a hundredfold in an instant!
"System, assist the deductions at maximum power! Targets: the Great Dao of Killing and the Five Elements Great Dao!" Ming Xin issued the command.
[Command confirmed. Converting merit energy... Comprehension enhancement module operating at overclocked capacity... Beginning in-depth analysis of the core laws of the Great Dao of Killing and the Five Elements Great Dao...] The system's cold, efficient voice rang out, perfectly merging with the transcendent comprehension brought by the burning merit.
Boom!
Ming Xin's consciousness seemed to be lifted infinitely high and cast into two vast, boundless oceans of laws.
The Great Dao of Killing was no longer merely destruction and death. With the flames of merit-fueled comprehension and the system's assistance, he saw its deeper essence—killing was the end of cycles.
It was the thunderous method of Order, the reckoning of karma, the embodiment of "nothingness," and also the beginning of "life."
Countless profound principles of judgment, sentencing, purging, and Nirvana surged toward him like a tide.
They mutually confirmed, merged with, and elevated the essence of his Great Nirvana Killing Buddha Scripture.
The Dao inscription of the character "Kill" within his primordial spirit flashed madly, becoming increasingly intricate, ancient, and majestic, as though it represented a cold law of Order between Heaven and Earth.
The Five Elements Great Dao—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—was no longer merely a matter of mutual generation and restraint.
What he saw was the foundation of material composition, the root of energy transformation, and the framework that stabilized the world.
The Five Elements Cycle could give rise to all things and living beings; when reversed, the Five Elements could return to primordial Chaos!
The system frantically recorded and deduced the most fundamental rune structures and energy matrices of the Five Elements Law, deeply integrating them with his self-created path of "wireless unification of the Five Elements, evolving Chaos."
The Chaos Five Elements Pagoda emerged above his head, its body humming. The runes upon it appeared and vanished, reorganized, and perfected themselves at an unprecedented speed, while the Chaos Qi it exhaled grew increasingly pure and vast.
At the same time, his Past Self and Future Self were not idle either.
His Past Self manifested nearby, Mortal World aura rolling around him as the intent of Reincarnation flowed.
He too basked in the lingering glow of the merit-comprehension flames, focusing on deepening the Great Dao of the Mortal World and Reincarnation.
Countless phantom images of living beings arose and perished around him. The Seven Emotions and Six Desires turned into colorful mist before eventually flowing into an illusory Reincarnation Gate, causing its doors to grow ever more solid.
His grasp of the thoughts of living beings, his ability to draw upon karmic forces, and his understanding of the paths of Reincarnation all reached an entirely new height.
The Future Self was even more illusory, holding the Fate Compass as countless threads of Cause and Effect danced at his fingertips.
Using this opportunity of greatly increased comprehension, he devoted himself to deducing the mysteries of Fate and time, attempting to sift through the chaotic and complex branches of the future.
He sought to capture more distinct scenes, avoid danger for his main body, and guide his path. A portion of the system's immense computing power was also allocated to assist the Future Self in vast deductive calculations.
Within the valley, the Three Bodies possessed distinct auras, yet shared the same origin. Their Dao rhythms intertwined, seemingly causing subtle changes even to the flow of time in this region.
Time passed. While the outside world shifted and all beings of the Primordial World prepared to hear the Dao in Chaos, Ming Xin became completely immersed in deep comprehension of the Dao.
A thousand years passed. The Great Dao of Killing reached perfection. With a single thought, he could make all things turn grim and murderous, or slay only karmic obstructions without harming living beings.
Two thousand years passed. The Five Elements Great Dao reached complete perfection, and the Chaos Five Elements Pagoda completed its transformation, officially advancing into an Innate Spiritual Treasure of boundless power.
With a single thought, it could transform into a Five Elements world, or reverse into Chaos and destroy all laws.
Two thousand five hundred years passed. The Past Self deduced the Dao of Mortal World Reincarnation to the limit of his current realm, while the Future Self's grasp of Fate and time became even more precise.
At the end of the third thousandth year, the Merit Golden Thread burning around Ming Xin's main body was finally completely exhausted.
He slowly opened his eyes.
Within his left eye, countless living beings seemed to struggle, vanish, and be redeemed amid slaughter, ultimately returning to cold Order and Nirvana.
Within his right eye, the Five Elements Cycle turned, worlds were born and perished, and everything ultimately became a wisp of Chaos Qi from before the primordial beginning.
His aura became incomparably restrained, yet it gave off an unfathomable feeling, as though it contained two terrifying powers of ultimate contradiction.
Peak Late Golden Immortal of the Origin! He was truly only one final opportunity to attain the Dao away from the realm of the Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal!
His comprehension of the Great Dao of Killing and the Five Elements Great Dao had already reached the ultimate perfection attainable in his current realm.
It could even be said that, in terms of "understanding" the Great Dao, he was no inferior to some existences who had become Saints through a single law.
He had a powerful premonition that, if he wished, he could invoke his own Great Dao at any time and attempt to break into the realm of a Sage!
But he had never intended to become a Saint through a single law. What he wanted was for the laws and Great Daos of all Three Bodies to reach complete perfection.
Only by fusing them into himself and attaining the Great Dao would he become a Primordial Limitless Grand Unity Golden Immortal, a Saint of Merged Dao. A Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal had never been his goal.
"The three thousand years are up." Ming Xin rose to his full height, and his Past Self and Future Self merged into his body.
Feeling the surging, nearly perfected power of two Supreme Daos within him, a confident smile curled across his lips.
"Chaos, Wa Huang Palace, the path of the Sage... Perhaps that is where the opportunity I need lies."
He stepped out of the valley, his figure turning into an invisible streak of light that tore through space and flew straight toward the Chaos Beyond the Heavens.
The lecture of the Primordial World's first Saint was about to begin. And Ming Xin was fully prepared.
He would listen, verify his Dao, and seize the opportunity that belonged to him in his peak state!
