Primordial Era: With unparalleled comprehension, I am the Ancestor of Stars.

Chapter 137 Paying back debts is a matter of course

"This is……"

It was Nuwa who spoke. Her delicate eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her doubts seemed to deepen rather than be resolved, her tone somewhat uncertain.

But Taihao gave an affirmative answer.

"You're not mistaken, this is the human race!"

"Humans? There are humans who have drifted from the Taihao Realm to beyond the Chaos?" Xihe asked, puzzled.

"Then why weren't there humans originally in the outer chaos?"

Taihao chuckled lightly, his tone relaxed.

But for Nuwa and the other three women, things were not so easy; in fact, they were far from calm.

Did humans already exist in the outer chaos?

How is that possible!

Wasn't the human race created by Nuwa?

Seemingly noticing their confusion, Taihao asked at the opportune moment.

"Nuwa, do you still remember how you created the human race?"

"Relying on... the body of the Great God Pangu!" Nuwa said.

However, after speaking, he still frowned and guessed.

"Could it be that the humans there are related to the great god Pangu?"

"It might be, or it might not!"

Taihao did not answer directly, but instead steered the question in another direction, which surprised all four women.

"Have you ever wondered why Pangu's physical form is human?"

"What else could it be, Father God?"

Pingxin stopped halfway through her sentence.

After thinking it over carefully, she found that she couldn't give a reason. She wanted to say that there was no reason, but when she thought that it was Taihao who was asking the question, she stopped herself from saying that.

Since it was Taihao, there must be some deeper meaning behind it.

At this moment, Taihao continued.

"The Chaos Gods all have their own forms, and each one is unique. Thanks to this, the creatures of the primordial world were able to distinguish their appearances."

"Therefore, whether it is the three innate races of dragon, phoenix, and qilin, or the innate deities that were born later, there can always be a corresponding existence before the creation of the world."

"For example, the progenitor of the dragon race can be traced back to the Chaos Heavenly Dragon, and the Kunpeng can be traced back to the Chaos Kun!"

"So the question arises: do the Chaos Dragon and the Chaos Kun also have traceable origins?"

"Their appearance cannot be explained simply by saying they were born of the Great Dao!"

As Taihao gained a deeper understanding of the Great Dao, he saw through many things with unparalleled clarity.

This includes his doubts about the origin of the Chaos God.

He was convinced that the Chaos God must have some origin.

The same must be true for the human form of the Dao.

Otherwise, how can we explain the existence of humans in this world outside of chaos?

and……

Before Taihao transmigrated, he was also a human!

The increase in his cultivation level allowed Taihao to think about many things he had never dared to think about before.

For example, why did he travel through time?

For example, where was the world he traveled to before, and why was he able to understand the primordial world with such a high level of world status?

These were questions that Taihao had never dared to consider before.

Even after he attained the Primordial Dao, he only dared to think about it briefly and did not dare to delve into it, for fear of touching some ineffable existence.

However, after breaking through to the peak of Hunyuan, Taihao's cultivation increased countless times, giving him the confidence and strength to explore his doubts!

His first task was to investigate the origins of the Chaos God.

The human form of the Dao body is a particularly crucial element.

This will help him uncover the truth.

So, after giving the four women a little pointer, Taihao directly revealed his purpose.

"I intend to seek the truth in the outer chaos. If you are interested, you can go there to make arrangements and investigate. I will then go into seclusion for a period of time. When I emerge from seclusion, it will be time to close the net!"

"I will humbly obey Master's instructions!"

"Tao Zun asked me to go there calmly!"

During the conversation, the five beings with the highest cultivation levels in the Taihao Realm reached a consensus on matters concerning the outer chaos.

Huo Ling'er and the others did not disobey, nor could they disobey, Taihao's will.

They could even say they were very willing to serve Taihao.

This wasn't purely out of self-interest, hoping to find a breakthrough opportunity in the chaos outside; it was more because it was Taihao who issued the order.

If it were other cultivators, even if there were benefits involved, they would have to consider it for a long time, and they might not even go.

But Taihao didn't have so many concerns.

This is completely different from the Six Sages in the Lesser Primordial World.

However, on the other hand, now that even the Lesser Primordial World has become nothingness, there are no more Six Saints; they have long since died or been crippled.

Just then, Pingxin suddenly spoke, as if she had thought of something.

"Senior, Jieyin and Zhunti are still suppressed in the underworld. What's the best course of action against them?"

A long time ago, these two guys coveted the Underworld, so they joined forces to put pressure on Pingxin and caused him a lot of trouble.

However, their plan not only failed, but was also suppressed by Taihao.

And it has not been released to this day.

At this moment, after Pingxin brought it up, Taihao also took the opportunity to explain his solution.

"Let them perform rituals to guide the souls of the dead in the underworld and purify the karmic ties along the banks of the Xuanming River! In preparation for the upcoming great war across all realms!"

Considering Jieyin and Zhunti's cultivation level, temperament, and past actions, Taihao naturally could not let them go.

After all, these two have criminal records, and letting them go would definitely pose a risk.

In comparison, it would be much better to let them continue to be suppressed in the underworld.

Moreover, this method also allows them to be used as laborers.

In the future, the Taihao Realm will become larger and larger, and the number of living beings will also increase. Undoubtedly, the pressure that the Underworld will have to bear will also increase significantly.

Pingxin alone could handle it, but it would undoubtedly lock her up.

Then it's very necessary to have someone help you.

Who will "help"?

Without a doubt, it is Jieyin and Zhunti.

Taihao then prepared to have these two guys work hard to alleviate the pressure on the Taihao Realm Underworld.

"To guide the souls of the dead and purify the underworld? Senior... will they agree to that?" Pingxin asked.

She said this not out of doubt, but out of an instinctive unwillingness to believe.

But the answer Taihao gave her the next moment shocked her even more.

"Of course! And they can't come out unless the underworld is empty!"

"Is the underworld not empty? Can't we leave?"

Pingxin gasped in disbelief, finding it even more unbelievable.

As the actual controller of the Underworld, she was well aware of how difficult it was to empty the Underworld, which could be said to be related to the survival of the Taihao Realm.

Unless the Taihao Realm is gone, the Underworld cannot be destroyed.

Is it possible that the Taihao Realm didn't disappear?

The chances are very small, and even if that day does come, it will probably be a long time coming.

It grows so long that even a Hunyuan might not be able to withstand it!

In a sense, this also means that the two of them will be suppressed in the underworld forever!

As for whether they will agree.

Taihao chuckled lightly, showing no concern whatsoever.

Because both Jieyin and Zhunti owe Taihao a debt of karma.

What cause and effect?

Proving the Way of Cause and Effect!

Because they made a great vow, they were able to attain the Primordial Chaos Realm. Before the two worlds merged, they owed the Heavenly Dao a debt of karma, but after the two worlds merged, what they owed was the Taihao Realm.

That is, Taihao.

Given the immense karmic debt they've incurred, it would be difficult for them not to work.

"Paying back debts is a matter of course," and even saints cannot avoid it.

It is worth mentioning that both the Western duo and the Three Pure Ones have now lost their sainthood. They are no longer saints, but simply Hunyuan cultivators.

After dealing with the matters concerning Jieyin and Zhunti, what remained were all trivial matters.

This was true, at least for Taihao.

His current status is even higher than that of Hongjun in the prehistoric history. Hongjun was made incredibly mysterious, inspiring awe in all living beings, so Taihao could hardly do things personally.

Therefore, such trivial matters were not worth his personal appearance; he could simply leave them to his disciples.

But in reality, among his disciples, only Xihe would actually care about it. At most, Nuwa would handle matters related to the human race, but Huo Ling'er would never interfere.
