Primordial Era: Reborn as a Qi Immortal, Steadily Cultivating

Chapter 145 The Three Gods Emerge (4.5K)

Ma Yuan has already glimpsed some of the shadow of the primordial calamity amidst the conflicts of this world.

Although their appearances differ, the underlying causes are the same.

"This calamity is not accidental, but a law that inevitably arises when all worlds evolve to a certain stage."

His will gradually merged with the already perfect nascent form of the Heavenly Dao.

Within the vast and boundless trajectory of the world's operation, the fundamental origin of this Ziying First Tribulation is constantly being deduced.

He quickly grasped the root of this calamity.

"Firstly, there is the limitation of resources."

"Although this world is vast, its core origin and the innate spiritual veins that are capable of giving birth to top experts are ultimately limited."

Living beings reproduce endlessly, yet their desires are ultimately insatiable.

When internal supplies could no longer meet the ever-growing needs of the tribe, conflict became the most direct and only means of plunder.

"Secondly, there is the entanglement of cause and effect."

Ma Yuan's will flows clearly within that intricate web of cause and effect.

“Killing breeds hatred, and hatred leads to even more brutal revenge.”

An endless cycle of revenge, a tangled web of cause and effect, and an ever-accumulating karmic burden will ultimately drag all races into this relentless, world-destroying vortex, from which no one can escape.

"Thirdly, and most fundamentally, is the dispute over the paths to enlightenment."

"Different races have different ways of life that conflict with the principles of Taoism."

When it develops to its extreme, it will evolve into a struggle over the orthodoxy of different schools of thought.

The Golden Spirit Clan is born from primordial gold and is fierce and warlike, advocating the way of self-determination through killing and conquest.

The Wood Spirits are born from spiritual roots and immortal plants. They are gentle and resilient, and believe that only reproduction and growth are the right path for the world.

The Thunder Spirits, born from the Primal Thunder Pool, are naturally proud.

They see themselves as agents of divine punishment, believing that all things in the world should operate under the order they have established.

The three races have different ideologies, just like the Chan and Jie sects. When they develop to a certain point, they will evolve into the most brutal struggle for orthodoxy.

This dispute is not about right or wrong, but about survival.

There will be no end until the other party is completely wiped out from this world.

Ma Yuan understood that it was better to guide than to block.

He knew of a method similar to the primordial Heavenly Dao, which used countless eons to cleanse karma and reshape order.

For his still-growing world, this was tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst.

Forcibly imposing divine punishment to suppress internal strife is also undesirable.

The only way to truly achieve long-term solutions is to find an outlet for these internal contradictions that have been accumulating to the extreme and redirect them outwards.
An idea suddenly arose in his mind.

"When the world within this Sea-Stabilizing Pearl is fully developed and perfected in the future, and the beings within it become even more powerful, they may be able to emulate the legendary Chaos God and conquer other worlds in the endless Chaos Sea!"

"Use the essence of other worlds to nourish my world!"

"Use external conflicts to eliminate internal conflicts!"

"This is the true path to overcoming tribulation!"

However, this grand ambition is beyond the reach of Ziyingtian, which is still in its infancy.

The most urgent task is to prevent this world from being completely destroyed by endless internal strife before it can truly grow.

"If we allow the three races to continue fighting like this, before I can even prepare, the world's very essence will have been exhausted in the civil war, and its foundation will be destroyed. What future will we have then?"

Once this thought was made, Ma Yuan no longer hesitated in the slightest.

He decided to emulate Nuwa's creation of humanity and create a completely new race in this Purple Jade Heaven, a race of order that would surpass the three races of metal, wood, and thunder!
This race does not participate in the struggle for resources among ordinary people.

This clan is not tainted by the karma and grudges of other clans.

Their sole mission in life is to shepherd the heavens and the earth on his behalf, to regulate yin and yang, and to establish an absolutely just and eternal order!

Boom——!!!!!!

The entire Purple Jade Heaven trembled violently without warning at this moment!

A vast and sacred pressure of creation descended from the summit of the Purple Necklace Divine Mountain.

In the blink of an eye, it had swept across every corner of this world!
Whether it's the Golden Spirit Warriors who are fighting fiercely on the battlefield, the Wood Spirit Priests who are praying devoutly deep in the forest, or the Thunder Spirit Elders who are cultivating in seclusion by the Thunder Pool.

At that moment, everyone stopped what they were doing without prior agreement!
Countless living beings were under this absolute pressure originating from the Creator God.

A primal sense of awe welled up from the deepest part of his soul, and he involuntarily prostrated himself in the direction of the sacred mountain, kneeling in devout reverence!
Ma Yuan's calm and dignified presence resonated in the hearts of every living being at that moment.

"Your incessant infighting and endless killing have tarnished the world and displeased the Great Dao. This is your crime!"

There was not a trace of anger in his voice.

Yet it contains a supreme majesty, like the Way of Heaven.

It made countless living beings lower their proud heads in shame.

Immediately afterwards, Ma Yuan's voice rang out again.

“I am the source of this world, the beginning of all things. But my path lies in evolution and transcendence, not in worldly affairs.”

"However, the world cannot be without order for even a day. I will create messengers of God to act on my behalf, establish eternal order, and shepherd all spirits."

Every word uttered by Ma Yuan seemed to transform into the most primordial decree of Heaven.

It is deeply imprinted in the deepest part of the true spirit of all living beings in this world, and no disobedience is allowed.

Those who follow the way prosper, those who oppose it perish!

This is not a decree, but the law of Heaven!
Below, on the vast and boundless land.

Regardless of the once arrogant and domineering rulers of the three races: the Gold Spirit, the Wood Spirit, and the Thunder Spirit.

They are still those countless weak creatures struggling to survive in the cracks.

All of them, under this supreme and overwhelming pressure of creation, offered their most sincere reverence and submission from the bottom of their hearts.

It was at this very moment that all spirits knelt in awe and reverence.

Ma Yuan's will stirred slightly once again at the core of that world's origin.

The boundless incense and prayer power that had enveloped the Purple Jade Sky, formed by the faith of countless beings over tens of thousands of years, suddenly surged violently without warning!

"Om-!"

The entire sea of ​​vows, under the influence of Ma Yuan's supreme will, which was already in harmony with the Heavenly Dao of this world, fell upon the towering Purple Necklace Divine Mountain, which was hundreds of millions of feet high!
Using his own Daoist essence as a foundation, Ma Yuan forcefully carved out a vast, sacred pool atop the divine mountain, its interior imbued with the natural essence of Dao.

All the vast and boundless power of incense and prayers was poured into this pool!
However, Ma Yuan did not stop there.

He could clearly perceive within this seemingly sacred sea of ​​willpower.

It still carries the endless negative emotions of "resentment," "fear," and "greed" generated by the tens of thousands of years of conflict between the three races. If these filthy things are not removed, they will surely become hidden dangers to the Dao heart of new species in the future.

He immediately activated his supernatural powers, and the already perfect and flawless innate five elements Dao rhythm suddenly started to operate, transforming into a five-colored millstone that covered the sky and the sun, slowly rotating above the sacred pool.

The five elements cycle endlessly, creating a continuous cycle of life.

That vast ocean of aspirations was crushed and purified by the five-colored millstone.

All the negative emotions contained within were stripped away and refined, turning into nothingness!

Finally, the last wisp of black resentment was completely dissolved within the millstone.

Within that pool, only the purest and most devout wishes remained.

Its viscosity is like honey, its color is like glass, its aroma is like orchids, and it is pure to the extreme!

This pool is the Sacred Pool of Creation, and it is also the fundamental place where this new race was created!
After doing all this, Ma Yuan had another idea.

In the darkness, he mobilized the power of the Ziyingtian world's origin, which was already in harmony with his will!

Boom——!!!!!!

In the boundless void atop that sacred mountain, a colossal, pitch-black rift suddenly tore open without warning!
A massive stone tablet, radiating seven-colored divine light and inscribed with the most fundamental laws and order of the entire world, slowly descended from the void rift!

The stone tablet was 90,000 feet tall and tens of thousands of miles wide.

The moment it appeared, it caused the great laws of the entire world to resonate with it!
It carried with it a profound and majestic aura that could suppress all ages, and with a thunderous roar, it stood firmly on the edge of the Sacred Pool of Transformation!
This stele is blank, yet it seems to record all the changes this world has undergone since its birth.

Its surface shimmers with light, sometimes resembling the rotation of the sun, moon, and stars, sometimes the evolution of mountains and rivers, and sometimes the birth, death, and reproduction of all living things.

It is the embodiment of the Heavenly Order of this world—the Order Divine Stele!
In the future, the names and divine duties of all messengers of the gods will be personally imprinted on them by the origin of the world.

Recognized by Heaven and Earth, enjoying boundless power!
With everything in place, Ma Yuan finally began his earth-shattering, world-creating feat!

He did not completely imitate Nuwa, nor did he use himself as a model for creation.

Because he knew that what he wanted to create was not a completely new race that needed to reproduce and thrive.

Rather, it is a deity who can shepherd the heavens and earth, establish order, and possess absolute reason and justice on his behalf.

His will first stirred the most fierce and intense, boundless power of will within the sacred pool of creation, full of the meaning of "conquest" and "slaughter"!

These aspirations originated from the fervent prayers for victory and conquest accumulated by the Golden Spirit Clan and the Thunder Spirit Clan during tens of thousands of years of war!

At this moment, all these wishes were mobilized and transformed into a vast torrent of crimson gold, soaring into the sky from the sacred pool!

"Roar--!!!!!"

In an instant, the entire Sacred Pool of Transformation surged violently!
That torrent of crimson-gold vow power converged wildly at the core of the sacred pool!
Finally, amidst the churning of the pool, a majestic divine body, brimming with boundless majesty and power, slowly emerged!
A divine being with three heads, three phases, and six arms slowly rose from the sacred pool!

Its body is tens of thousands of feet tall, and its entire body is formed from the purest crimson-gold willpower. Its muscles are bulging and full of a primal sense of power as if the world had been created.

Its three heads each display a distinct expression: "angry," "majestic," and "indifferent."

It symbolizes the cruelty of war, the justice of punishment, and the ruthlessness of order.

Its six incredibly strong arms each wield one of six ancient and deadly weapons—an axe, halberd, spear, dagger, and shield—formed from the power of faith and will!

The moment he was born, it seemed as if the entire world of Ziying was filled with the clanging sounds of countless weapons clashing!

A chilling aura swept across the entire sacred mountain!

It was at this very moment that the Order Monument, which stood quietly by the sacred pool, shone with great brilliance!
The first line, composed of ancient divine names derived from the fundamental laws of the world, automatically appeared on the surface of the monument:

【War and Punishment: Arsenal】

Its divine power is awe-inspiring; it was born with terrifying divine power comparable to the early stage of the Taiyi Golden Immortal in the primordial era!
Immediately afterwards, Ma Yuan's will was once again stirred within that sacred pool.

This time, he drew upon the most gentle yet resilient and powerful will within the pool, a will filled with the meaning of "growth" and "blessing".

These aspirations originated from the gentle Wood Spirits and the countless weak creatures displaced by war, who offered their sincere prayers to their Creator God for peace and prosperity.

At this moment, all these wishes were drawn into a soft, emerald-green halo filled with endless vitality and the power of creation, which slowly rippled within the sacred pool.

There were no earth-shattering phenomena, nor any world-destroying power.

Only the Taoist spirit, filled with compassion and peace, flowed slowly in the pool.

A goddess with a human head and a snake's body, a compassionate face, and surrounded by endless vitality and Taoist charm, slowly rose from the emerald green halo.

The moment she appeared, all the countless celestial flowers that had withered in the war on the entire Purple Necklace Divine Mountain bloomed again!

Countless ancient spiritual roots that had long withered were reborn at this moment, sprouting tender green buds!
The whole world seemed to be infused with a brand new vitality and energy at her birth!
The light once again flowed across the monument of order.

The second line, filled with the meaning of compassion and creation, slowly emerged:
[Education and Procreation: Compassionate Nurturing]

Its divine power is vast, and it already possessed divine power comparable to that of a Taiyi Golden Immortal at the beginning of its birth.

Finally, Ma Yuan's will gathered all the remaining power of his vows into one place within the Sacred Pool of Transformation.

These vows are the purest and most righteous in the pool, filled with the supreme vows of "order" and "reverence"!

Its root lies in the most fundamental reverence that all living beings in this world, regardless of strength or race, hold for him, the creator god, in the deepest part of their true spirit!

At this moment, all these wishes were gathered together and slowly condensed into an enormous cocoon at the core of the sacred pool!

"Crack——!"

A crisp, light sound.

A crack slowly appeared on the huge cocoon.

Endless divine light of order burst forth from that crevice!

Finally, when the cocoon of light shattered completely, a divine being with an innate Dao body identical to Ma Yuan emerged cross-legged!

The divine being's face was indistinct, sometimes appearing as a wise old man with white hair studying classics, and sometimes as a naive young boy.

Behind him floats a divine wheel of order formed from the power of will.

Its aura is as deep as the sea, as if it has merged with the laws of the entire world, becoming one with them!

Above the Order Monument, the third line is filled with ancient and majestic divine names, solemnly displayed:
[Law and Order: The Balance of Power]

In fact, his strength, even at the very beginning of his birth, had already surpassed that of A Xingwei and Ciyu, and was comparable to that of a mid-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal!

At this moment, the three sacred messengers, formed from the wishes of all beings, are all born!
A Xingwei is in charge of war and punishment, Ciyu is in charge of education and reproduction, and Tianheng is in charge of law and order!
Its aura permeates the heavens and earth atop the sacred mountain, echoing each other and constructing a brand-new sacred system capable of shepherding all spirits in this world!

Ma Yuan's calm yet profound voice resonated throughout the world once again.

Its voice was addressed to the myriad living beings beneath the sacred mountain.

That is to say, to the three holy messengers who had just been born and whose expressions were still somewhat bewildered.

"You are all manifestations of the wishes of all living beings, born in the sacred pool, and your names are inscribed on the divine stele."

As long as the faith of all beings endures, your divine power will be inexhaustible, and you will live forever.

"However, if the faith of all beings wavers, your divine power will also decline, and you may even fall from your pedestal. Your strength or weakness is inextricably linked to the faith of all beings in this world!"
