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

Chapter 85 The Great Dao Manifests, the Taihao Realm is Formed!

Creating a world is difficult, but destroying it is easy.

The formation of the two primordial worlds seems simple, but to bring them back together is extremely difficult!

It can be said that this has been true from the moment the two worlds were formed.

The primordial wilderness was no longer the same as before.

Even if the two worlds were to reunite, it would only begin with the disappearance of the other world.

One chaotic world will be devoured during the process of merging!

Therefore, from the moment these two worlds were born, there has been no possibility of peaceful coexistence!

Not to mention the beings who rule these two worlds, who are also mortal enemies!

In the past, although Taihao and Hongjun regarded each other as thorns in their side, they at least did not fall out and could sit down to drink tea and discuss philosophy.

But from now on, that will no longer be possible!

If the two were to meet again, it would surely be another great battle that would shake the very fabric of the universe!

"Taihao, although you ruined my plans, from the perspective of achieving Dao, I'm afraid I should thank you!"

Hongjun said meaningfully.

Taihao remained noncommittal.

He understood Hongjun's meaning perfectly well; even without calculation, he could understand it through Hongjun's changes.

In fact, after the two primordial worlds were formed, Hongjun underwent a change.

The most obvious change is definitely in strength.

Hongjun's strength has declined!

If the primordial world were divided into ten parts, Taihao would have received four parts, Hongjun would have received five parts, and the remaining part would have become fragments, forming the three thousand worlds of varying sizes!

Five parts, though many, are only half of the complete primordial world.

Naturally, the strength of He Dao Hongjun would also decline.

While it wasn't halved, there were still significant changes compared to before.

The reason for this is that the power of Hongjun, who merges with the Dao, originates from the Heavenly Dao, which in turn originates from the Primordial World!

When the primordial world was divided into two, the Heavenly Dao also weakened.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why Hongjun's strength has declined.

On the other hand, since the Way of Heaven has weakened.

As a result, the Heavenly Dao's control over Hongjun weakened considerably.

In the past, if Hongjun had completely merged with the Dao, he would have lost himself entirely and become an emotionless representative of the Heavenly Dao.

So now, he can retain his consciousness!

Although it's not all of it, it's definitely a great thing for Hongjun!

Thinking of this, Taihao raised his eyes and glanced at Hongjun.

He was considering whether or not to make a move.

Because Hongjun's consciousness will not disappear after he has fully merged with the Dao, he will definitely be a hidden danger in the future!

Coincidentally, Hongjun's strength had also decreased significantly.

If we could kill Hongjun at this moment, wouldn't that eliminate a major threat? And wouldn't we also be able to take the opportunity to annex a Hunyuan World?

This thought didn't linger in Taihao's mind for long before he dismissed it and abandoned the idea of ​​taking action now.

It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't.

Taihao was indeed stronger than Hongjun, but he wanted to devote most of his extra strength to maintaining the Hunyuan World.

In contrast, Hongjun had it much easier.

Hongjun also needed to maintain the other primordial world, but having achieved more than half of the Dao Integration stage, he understood the primordial world better than Taihao, so it was naturally much easier for him.

With this back and forth, Taihao had no choice but to abandon his plan to take action.

As it happened, Hongjun had the same idea.

"Although the primordial world is no more, I will eventually unite the two worlds into one!" Taihao said resolutely.

"Don't speak too confidently! Fellow Daoist Taihao, you should first find a way to stabilize this realm before discussing anything else!"

Hongjun replied without any politeness, then waved his whisk and, along with a chaotic world, disappeared into the depths of chaos.

Upon seeing this, Taihao snorted coldly, showing no sign of nervousness.

Taihao understood perfectly what Hongjun meant.

Because the chaotic world before us is incomplete.

It is missing a crucial part, namely the part that Hongjun took away.

What?

day!

In this world, there is no heaven!

Without the heavens, the world is incomplete, and even spiritual energy cannot be preserved!

Without spiritual energy, how can the creatures in this realm cultivate?

Not to mention that without the sky, the world would have to directly bear the pressure from chaos!

Therefore, a world without "heaven" is destined to perish!

This is a trap that Hongjun set for Taihao!

If it were any other cultivator, no matter how tightly they furrowed their brows, they wouldn't be able to come up with a solution.

For example, Nuwa, despite creating the Nuwa Heaven, was completely unqualified to complete the Hunyuan World, and ultimately she lost herself in the process.

But such a difficult problem was no challenge for Taihao.

"No heaven? I am heaven!"

In the chaos, Taihao roared.

The Taihaotian suddenly expanded, covering the entire Hunyuan World, and in the next instant, it began to merge with it.

Taihao used his supreme power to intend to merge his Dao fruit with the Primordial World into one!

Doing this might be a burden, even to the point of exhaustion.

But if successful, Taihaotian can advance again! And undergo another transformation!

Taihao's strength will also increase accordingly!

Despite the high difficulty and the long time required, Taihao was willing to take the risk.

And he was full of confidence!

"Taihaotian, unite!"

Another loud shout rang out, and the great power of Taihao traveled from the Primordial World all the way to the depths of Chaos!

At this moment, endless laws intertwined, boundless divine light shone, and infinite magical power surged forth.

Taihao transcended time and space; he was almost equivalent to creating the world again, merging the two worlds into one!

The next instant, Taihao appeared outside the new world.

At the same time, Taihao's voice also appeared.

It was as if the will of Heaven had descended, resounding throughout the entire world!

"From this day forward, this realm will be named Taihao!"

At the same time, Taihao sensed a fluctuation that only he could detect.

The fluctuations were extremely mysterious, both familiar and unfamiliar to Taihao. Their source was a supreme being that resembled a river, yet was not a river!

It is indescribable, unfathomable, and beyond words.

This existence seems to allow one to comprehend all the laws of the world simply by glimpsing a sliver of it! It's as if all the teachings can be verified here.

It is higher than the Heavenly Dao, and far beyond the primordial world!

When the river manifested, even Taihao was somewhat shocked and became unsettled.

It wasn't that he wanted it to be this way, but rather that its existence was simply too astonishing!

This was also the first time he had truly "seen" since he gained consciousness!

Because this is the Great Way!

The moment Taihao announced the formation of the Taihao Realm, the Great Dao manifested!

Although Taihao glimpsed the Great Dao several times, none of them were "seen with his own eyes," but rather through perception and the unique nature of the undying primordial spirit!

Only under extremely harsh conditions can one catch a glimpse of it!

Although it was only a trace, the help it provided to Taihao was unimaginable. The laws that Taihao comprehended were not only numerous, but also highly refined.

His rank goes without saying. Looking at the chaotic past, present, and future, for the time being, only Pangu probably surpasses him!

On the other hand, apart from the laws he comprehended through Taihaotian, Taihao had comprehended all the laws before that at least to the later stage, and even a few to perfection!

Logically speaking, "quantity" and "quality" are difficult to coexist.

For most cultivators, let alone choosing one, simply comprehending the laws is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Even Hongjun, who possesses the Jade Disc of Creation, will have some bias.

Hongjun certainly couldn't possibly only know one law, but he clearly knew that it was better to cultivate one law to its extreme than to be proficient in many laws.

But Taihao could make the two coexist!

This is not only because Taihao has extremely high comprehension and the Law of Power is a collection of all other laws, but also because he has glimpsed the Great Dao several times!

This shows how rare it is to comprehend the Great Dao.

Then there's no need to mention that the Great Dao manifested itself and was directly observed through the physical body! "This is the Great Dao?"

Taihao was deeply shocked as he looked at the long river that had manifested, a river that only he could see.

He rarely showed this emotion.

Because of his past experiences, no matter how unexpected, he could always make accurate predictions based on his Hunyuan ability.

So at most, one would be slightly surprised, rather than having only one emotion as one does right now.

Shock!

The Great Dao and the Rivers were beyond Taihao's comprehension!

Don't be fooled by his current late-stage Hunyuan realm; compared to the Great Dao, he's nothing.

Even if one breaks through to the peak of the Primordial Chaos realm, the result will be the same.

Apart from Pangu, the three thousand Chaos Demons are all ants in the eyes of the Great Dao! Not to mention Taihao, whose strength is not even comparable to that of a top-tier Chaos Demon!

Besides this, there was another reason that shocked Taihao.

Taihao was surprised to find that, through observing and comprehending the Great Dao, the laws he had perfected long ago were loosening again, showing a faint tendency to continue breaking through to the next level!

This is absolutely a pleasant surprise!

Its importance was so great that Taihao forgot to think about why the Great Dao manifested at first.

But the next moment, Taihao no longer needed to think about it.

Because the Great Dao directly reveals the reason.

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, it was expressed in another form.

In a very intuitive way, Taihao was informed.

What form?

Merit!

Innate merit!

At this moment, the Great Dao manifests, bestowing immeasurable merit!

What is meant by "innate"?

What existed before the birth of "Heaven" is called the innate!

That's why innate spiritual treasures are so rare.

The same applies to innate merits.

Only the Great Way possesses this!

The merits bestowed upon all living beings in the primordial world by the Heavenly Dao are all acquired merits!

Although they differ by only one word, their effects are worlds apart.

Although there are only a few innate treasures in the primordial world, upon closer examination, there are still quite a few.

But there are only two treasures of merit!

That is, the Xuanhuang Pagoda and the Measuring Ruler!

After that, no more treasures of merit were ever created.

Is it because I haven't accumulated enough merit?

Not at all.

Apart from the Golden Lotus of Merit, this extremely special existence cannot give birth to a supreme treasure no matter how much merit one accumulates.

Because acquired merits do not have this ability.

Only innate merit can generate the greatest treasures of merit!

Only the Great Dao can grant it!

The merits that appeared when Pangu created the world were bestowed by the Great Dao and are known as the merits of creation!

In this way, the two treasures of merit can be created.

"No wonder the method I created with the merit of creating the heavens is so powerful; it turns out that besides..."

"For my own sake, there's this reason too?"

Taihao understood immediately.

Although he created the Free Visualization Method, it would have been difficult for him to successfully create it without the merit of creating the world.

If one cannot create something like that, it will be difficult to compete with Hongjun and Luohou, and naturally, one would not have achieved what one has today.

This demonstrates the importance of the merits of creating the world.

On the other hand, Taihao understood why the Great Dao manifested.

Because his act of merging Taihaotian with the Hunyuan World is similar to Pangu's creation of the world!

It's just that the level is a bit lower.

That is why the merits bestowed by the Great Dao at this moment are not as great as those bestowed by Pangu when he created the world.

But the number is still quite large.

It is truly immeasurable!

Thinking of this, Taihao couldn't help but burst into laughter.

He thought of something that made him quite happy.

"I possess innate merit, but that old man Hongjun may not!"

"Because I was born from the Taihao Realm, I was able to manifest the Great Dao. But he is different. The primordial world he took away is a complete continuation of the Primordial World. It would be perfectly acceptable to continue calling it the Primordial World!"

"Under these circumstances, how could one possibly possess innate merit?"
