This is so dishonest!

Chapter 336 The final verdict is reached, but the struggle for the Dao has only just begun!
"After the great calamity, all living beings in heaven and earth will enjoy boundless peace, boundless blessings, and boundless fortune!"

After seizing control of the Heavenly Dao, the first thing Xuanqing did was to provide benefits to all living beings in the Primordial True Realm and the myriad worlds.

Especially those beings who participated in the Great Primordial Races Conference and successfully survived the great calamity.

The profound merits of Xuanhuang drift through all dimensions, as vast as the ocean, benefiting countless beings.

Then most of the creatures discovered something very joyful.

"Has the calamity within me transformed into good fortune?"

At this moment, all beings, whether they entered the calamity willingly or unwillingly, were overjoyed.

Taiwei Yuan not only rewarded those who had contributed, but also helped to eliminate the negative impacts of the Great Calamity.

As expected of the representative of Heaven's justice, he is truly fair and just.

"How magnificent is the Heavenly Emperor Taiwei!"

"How magnificent is the Primordial Heavenly Dao!"

In an instant, people all over the world offered their heartfelt wishes.

"This is the path I'm on!"

After killing the Demon God of Slaughter, Styx stood with his hands on his hips, feeling refreshed and invigorated.

Sensing the countless calamities transforming into fortune, Styx laughed and said, "Act in response to calamity, break free from calamity; calamity is endless, fortune is boundless."

"After this tribulation, I can also become a Tai Su Daluo. Awesome!"

"Fellow Daoist, don't get too caught up in the immediate pleasure; the best is yet to come!"

Zhen Yuanzi chuckled and said, "Our Taiwei Heavenly Dao doesn't just reward good, it also punishes evil!"

"Ah, yes, yes, yes!" Styx laughed heartily, and with a thought, thunderclouds rolled in and out of the primordial world.

"It's a pity that Fellow Daoist Suixing (Fuxi) is missing, otherwise we would have been able to locate it more accurately."

Styx leaped into the air, looked around, and soon Yu Chen Daojun arrived.

Whether it was a misperception or not, Styx sensed a strong aura of calamity emanating from Daoist Yu Chen, and the power of the world's end terrified him.

"Fellow Daoist, didn't you receive any blessings?" Styx asked curiously.

"Of course I received it."

Yu Chen Daojun smiled calmly, and a cloud of merit appeared above his head.

"Then what is this?" Styx pointed at Yu Chen.

Yu Chen Daojun said, "Fellow Daoist, you can take a look at the [True Realm of the Great Dao], and you will understand."

The Styx River immediately separated a bit of its true spirit and glanced at the Azure Sky.

Then he saw the [Lingbao Tianzun], the incarnation of the Ancestral Calamity, holding a world-destroying millstone!
The three Heavenly Venerables, sharing the same divine position, at this moment, the three powers evolved into the boundless Great Dao within the True Realm.

【Yuanshi】represents creation, 【Daode】represents existence, and 【Lingbao】controls the final tribulation!

More importantly, [Lingbao Tianzun] has become more extraordinary, as if he has become more agile after acquiring this innate treasure.

It's as if it's alive.

The next moment, he will step down from the altar.

"Good heavens!" Styx's eyes widened. He didn't fully understand it, but he was greatly shocked.

He felt that the three statues represented the past, present, and future, yet were also different.

"Keep a low profile, keep a low profile." Yu Chen Daojun smiled slightly, then changed his form, transforming into a Heavenly Venerable in charge of Heavenly Punishment.

"Come on, it's time to get to work."

"Some beings enjoyed the benefits, while others had to face judgment!"

What kind of beings need to be judged?
Of course, they are the surrendered gods among the primordial gods!
They weren't all completely wiped out; in fact, many of them used alternate accounts to participate while their real identities disappeared.

After the great calamity, they even managed to acquire some luck derived from the calamity's energy.

But this good fortune doesn't come for free.

The accounts that need to be settled still need to be settled.

Just like now——

"Boom!"

Styx and Jade Emperor Daoist, wielding divine tribulation lightning, began the final reckoning of this great calamity.

This step is imperative.

It is not only about establishing the authority of the Heavenly Way, but also about giving a definitive conclusion to the great calamity.

The Allied Forces of All Races are righteous and radiant, while the Beast Race is evil and radiant.

This point will be deeply etched into the river of time with the final reckoning.
"I should get to work too."

Nuwa brandished her Heavenly Blade, stretched for a moment, and then stepped directly into the River of Time.

The director of the Time and Space Administration Bureau should get to work.

"Assistant Yang, come here for a moment."

"Qingqing, time for work!"

After Nuwa transformed into the "Director," she directly summoned Yang Mei, the assistant of the Immortal Path, and Nv Qing, the deputy director of the Demonic Path.

"Sigh, why did I agree to this job in the first place!" Yang Mei had just returned to Baiyujing when she heard the summons from the [Director].

Well, no rest again.

With the great battle just ended, the river of time and space will inevitably be thrown into chaos for a while.

Their Time and Space Administration had to maintain order and, incidentally, "clean up the mess."

~~~~
"Ling Guang, the turmoil in the world has just ended. Although all the worlds have received endless blessings, due to the radiation effects of the great calamity, many worlds are still on the verge of destruction."

"You should quickly organize your people to raise the banner of saving all living beings, pursue the remaining forces of the ferocious beast race, and extinguish the calamity of the heavens."

"Of course, if all living beings are grateful for our kindness and are willing to submit to our Phoenix Clan, then we should not refuse them, we should accept them."

On the Phoenix Terrace, Yuanhuang stood tall and spirited, radiating brilliance.

She was neither immersed in the joy of the great victory nor overwhelmed by the endless sorrow of the deaths of her people.

Instead, they once again took up the banner of development for the Phoenix Clan.

She said, "Our development goals and historical mission do not allow us to be complacent or stagnant."

"Although the great calamity of ferocious beasts has ended, the real struggle for the Great Dao has just begun."

"We have no time to grieve, nor do we need to be saddened by our own deaths and injuries."

"All living beings in the world have experienced far more suffering than we have; they still need our salvation!"

At this moment, the pride of the White Crane Clan proclaimed loudly: "With lofty aspirations and sacrifices, we dare to change the world!"

"Although our chieftain died in battle, his will will be inherited by us, the younger generation."

"The bright future of the Phoenix Clan, and the bright future of all living beings, needs our protection!"

Upon hearing this prodigy's speech, many other prodigies of the Phoenix Clan shouted in unison: "With lofty aspirations, we dare to sacrifice ourselves and change the world!"

The dragons also took similar actions to the phoenixes.

The First Emperor convened a post-war debriefing conference and a conference on the development of the race at the Pantheon.

At the meeting, Zulong deeply mourned the clansmen who sacrificed themselves for the great calamity.

"Prime Minister, regarding the compensation for these clansmen..."

Before the First Emperor could finish speaking, a dragon god reminded him: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister suffered severe injuries during the great calamity and is currently recuperating at the Dragon Transformation Pool."

Zu Long then came to his senses and looked at Bai Long: "Fourth Sister, then these tasks will be left to you."

"Don't worry, brother, our Temple of Destiny is already doing this work." Bai Long attended the Dragon Clan Assembly for the first time. She was dressed in plain clothes and wore a veil, exuding a cool and aloof aura.

The dragon gods felt both familiar and unfamiliar with this fourth progenitor. The Azure-Clad Dragon God, [Grand Master of Fate], stood behind the White Dragon.

He is the Dragon God of the Temple of Destiny.

Before Bai Long appeared, he was the nominal boss of the temple, and he had a very leisurely life.

After the White Dragon appeared, the Grand Master of Fate, who had been slacking off for millions of years, was in for a lot of work.

"The Great Calamity of the Ferocious Beasts has ended, but the struggle between our three innate races has only just begun." Zu Long was very clear-headed. He knew that without the Ferocious Beasts as an external enemy, the room for reconciliation among the three innate races would become smaller and smaller.

A major war is inevitable when that happens.

"What we need to do now is to consolidate the gains made in this great battle and then strive for greater development."

Zulong said, "Although the ferocious beast race has brought great calamity to the Primordial True World, their theory is a good path."

"To unite all races with one race and condense the Pangu Dao Fruit, this is also the path we must take."

At this moment, a dragon god asked, "But the ferocious beast race is powerful and has many strong warriors. They failed on this path, so how can we succeed?"

"We don't face much pressure fighting against the Qilin and Phoenix clans, but what about other forces?"

The patriarch of the Guangyin Jiao clan said, "In this alliance of all races, many forces have taken the stage, especially the Taiwei Yuan, the Immortal Path, and the Demonic Path, which are the most powerful."

"If we want to unify the primordial world, we will inevitably have to fight against these forces."

"What if Taiwei Yuan treats us the same way it treats the ferocious beasts, and calls upon all living beings in the primordial world to overthrow our rule?"

"Your Majesty, Ao Guang is absolutely right!" Through this great battle, many dragon gods have witnessed the strength of various forces, especially the Taiwei Yuan.

The Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World is now in the hands of the Taiwei Heavenly Emperor.

Even the ancestor of the immortal path, Hongjun Dao, suffered losses at the hands of the other side. Can their dragon race do the same?
At this moment, many dragon gods felt a deep sense of worry.

"Brother, competing with the Phoenix Clan and the Qilin Clan for control of the land is no problem, but isn't unifying the prehistoric world too difficult?"

Even Qinglong and Yinglong were considering the feasibility of unifying the prehistoric world.

Qinglong said, "It's not that I'm saying anything discouraging, but the Taiwei Heavenly Emperor and Dao Ancestor Hongjun are too powerful for us to handle."

"If we openly proclaim the slogan of unifying the prehistoric world, we might really repeat the mistakes of the ferocious beast race."

Yinglong also said, "Our dragon race does not yet have the capital to clamor about the entire prehistoric world. Acting rashly may lead to unforeseen consequences."

Only the White Dragon of Destiny sat quietly to the side, saying nothing.

It neither expresses support nor opposition.

Looking at his worried people, Zulong laughed heartily: "I understand your worries and concerns."

"But what if I said that Taiwei Yuan is not our enemy, and could even be an aid to our unification of the prehistoric world if given the chance?"

"Huh?" All the dragon gods looked at the Ancestral Dragon in surprise.

"What does your majesty mean?"

The First Emperor smiled mysteriously: "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed."

"All you need to know is that our next goal is to unify the land, and Taiwei Yuan will absolutely not interrupt our plans, that's all."

Despite their doubts, many dragon gods chose to believe the ancestral dragon's solemn vow.

As the head of a clan, isn't it perfectly normal for His Majesty to have far-reaching plans?
If we didn't understand or grasp the reasons behind it, it just means we're not experienced enough.

"Your Majesty, in which direction should our expansion begin?"

"Of course, it's the Qilin Clan!"

~~~~
"Ah!"

While the Dragon Clan was plotting against the Qilin Clan, the First Qilin was also calculating the future trends of the primordial world.

"Taiwei Yuan is difficult to defeat in a short period of time, so the next target can only be the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan."

At the Qilin Elders' Conference, the First Qilin redefined its goals.

The Taiwei Enclosure, which controls the Heavenly Way, is categorized as an invincible region.

"Taiwei Enclosure is not without enemies. The struggle for the Heavenly Dao is enough to keep them busy with the Immortal Path for a long time, leaving them no time to worry about us!"

This time, in addition to the emperors of the Qilin clan, the [Eternal Life Emperor] Shenzang Demon God and the [Ancestral Qilin] Qiankun Daoist attended the meeting.

In the past, the Ancestral Dragon impersonated the name of the Ancestral Qilin, but now the Qiankun Daoist has taken advantage of the situation to make the fake one real.

"After the great calamity, the world is quiet and empty, and there are many territories that we need to conquer."

"Among all the heavens and myriad realms, there are many worlds waiting for us to take over."

"We must seize the time to expand and recruit as many strong individuals as possible before the Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan to fill the gaps in our combat strength."

If we were to say which race suffered the most casualties during the Great Calamity of Ferocious Beasts, it would be...
That must be the Phoenix Clan, who fight the hardest.

However, the Phoenix Clan possesses the Great Dao of Nirvana, enabling them to be reborn from the ashes, so the actual losses were not significant.

The Qilin clan suffered the most casualties in the battle.

For no other reason than that the core areas of both major battles were near the Qilin Ancestral Land.

If the army of all races had not kept its promise during the decisive battle and continued to push the battlefield westward, the Qilin clan would have suffered even greater losses.

Shi Qilin looked at the one-third empty space and sighed deeply.

He turned to look at Wuji Shenjun (Fuxi) beside him: "Wuji, how is our clan's derivative plan regarding 'Bearing Heaven and Earth' progressing?"

“There has been some progress, but it’s not enough.” Fuxi knew what the First Qilin was asking.

When Zhen Yuanzi promoted the Earth Immortal Dao to the Qilin Clan, Fuxi, in order to attract sponsors for Nuwa's creation plan, took the opportunity to trick many Qilin Kings into filling the world.

Now that the Qilin clan's leadership has suffered considerable losses, the First Qilin naturally wants to inquire about the progress of this plan.

What are the specific details?

Fuxi replied, "Among our many clansmen, some have transformed into the Great Thousand Worlds, while others have ascended to become the Great Thousand Universes."

"However, there are almost no members of our clan who have crossed from Taiyi to Daluo and achieved eternity."

"Almost none?"

Shi Qilin looked over and asked, "You mean there were still successes?"

The group of deities also looked over, their eyes filled with curiosity.

"Yes, there are indeed successful cases, but none of them are completely successful."

Fuxi thought for a moment, then waved his hand, and images appeared in the void.

These images range from complete worlds to solitary mountains, flowing rivers, and dazzling stars.

"This mountain is the pillar of heaven in the world of mountains and seas."

Fuxi pointed to a majestic divine mountain and said, "After the Lord of the Mountain and Sea World attained enlightenment, the Mountain and Sea World completed its advancement, transforming from the Great Thousand Universe into the Great Luo Universe."

"Correspondingly, the Heavenly Pillar transformed from the Earth Element Qilin also successfully transformed, condensing the attribute of eternal indestructibility."

"is it?"

The White Tiger God's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and laughed: "Then that solves it!"

"No, let me finish."

Fuxi continued, "After the Earth-type Qilin obtained the attribute of eternal immortality, it became a complete part of the Mountain and Sea World."

"His Dao Fruit is the Dao Fruit of the Mountain and Sea World."

"Similarly, as the pillar of heaven, he can also draw upon the power of the Lord of the Mountain and Sea World."

"In the world of Shan Hai, he is indeed a Daluo Supreme, but outside of the world of Shan Hai, he is merely a Taiyi with the potential for continuous resurrection."

"So, our plan was successful, but not entirely successful."
