Primordial Era: Exceptional Comprehension, Destroying Buzhou Mountain at the Start

Chapter 56 The Divine Soul Transforms into the Azure Dragon and the Vermilion Bird, Tempting the Heavenly Dao, and the Responsibilities of the Five Races

The physical body of the Qilin Ancestor transformed into countless mountains and rivers, and countless members of the Qilin clan sank into the earth, solidifying it and nourishing it. Countless beast clans then suppressed these mountains and rivers, shaping the feng shui and protecting them. The newly born divine soul of the Qilin Ancestor also transformed into the auspicious beast Qilin, suppressing the central land of Buzhou Mountain.

The Black Tortoise divided and suppressed the glaciers and the far north. The White Tiger Ancestor did the same; his true form, born of faith, adorned the west, gradually restoring life to the shattered western lands. The White Tiger's divine soul also transformed into the Western White Tiger.

In a short time, the three races that once dominated the primordial world—the scaled creatures, the beasts, and the birds—were all transformed into part of the earth, suppressing it. Although the Black Tortoise and White Tiger races were also absorbed, they, along with this transformation, each suppressed the north and west. While they couldn't compare to the other three races, it was still quite an achievement.

After the five tribes sacrificed themselves, repaired the earth, and suppressed the five directions, a peculiar change emanated from the vast, primordial land, a faint humming sound.

Under these changes, the earth's energy rises, endless creation and reproduction occur, and endless life is born... One can see that many new mountains, new rivers, new dragon veins, and new life have appeared in the vast wilderness.

It was visible that countless beings and all living things multiplied in a short period of time. Countless lives gained wisdom and took human form in that instant. Even more terrifying was the subtle, almost imperceptible, increase in the overall spiritual energy of the primordial world.

Although it's only a trace, imagine how much it represents the entire primordial world! A slight increase in the overall spiritual energy of the primordial world—that's an incredibly terrifying improvement!

Moreover, the primordial land has become more solid and heavier. And this change is still ongoing; who knows what level the entire primordial world will reach once the changes stop?

At this moment, all the countless beings in the primordial world were dumbfounded and stunned.

In fact, many powerful beings in the prehistoric world had a vague feeling that Di Qing had a grand plan and a major move after seeing him go to great lengths to revive the White Tiger Ancestor. But they never expected that Di Qing would go to such lengths this time.

Using the body of the Wu tribe, they awakened the will of the Great God Pangu, directly bestowing titles upon the five tribes. That's right, titles! Although it appears to be the five tribes sacrificing themselves to suppress the five directions of the primordial world, in this vast primordial world, there are countless cultivators and many powerful figures. Even if they wanted to sacrifice themselves and suppress the five directions, they wouldn't have the qualifications.

Even if Hongjun and the others were to step forward and prepare to sacrifice themselves, it would be difficult for them to do so. But Pangu, as the creator of the primordial world, was qualified to do so.

The will of the great god Pangu granted the sacrifices of the five tribes, and with their sacrifices, he bestowed titles upon them, transforming the ancestral dragon into the Azure Dragon and the Phoenix Ancestor into the Vermilion Bird...

While the will of the Great God Pangu could accomplish these things, Pangu had been gone for too long and had long lost his own consciousness. Therefore, it was Di Qing who was able to do so.

Rather than saying that Pangu bestowed these titles upon them, it would be more accurate to say that Di Qing bestowed them titles on behalf of the great god Pangu. Now that the five tribes have been bestowed titles, sacrificed themselves to the earth, and suppressed the earth, it means that the five tribes now belong to Di Qing's command and to the command of the Wu tribe.

Such a scheme, and how it secured the allegiance of five clans in one fell swoop, is simply unbelievable.

"I never expected it, I never expected that Emperor Qing Immortal Ancestor would have such a plan. From now on, all five races of the Primordial World will be under the command of Emperor Qing Immortal Ancestor, which means that the Witch Clan will unify the Primordial World."

"A nominal unification of the primordial world. After all, how many of the five tribes could survive after sacrificing themselves?"

"That's not how it works. The five tribes sacrificed themselves, leaving very few survivors. Yet they all became part of the earth and took control of it. This means that Emperor Qing relied on them to control the primordial land. Based on this alone, it can be said that Emperor Qing unified the primordial land."

"Incredible. Luo Lian has just fallen, and Emperor Qing Immortal Ancestor has already evolved into the new overlord of the primordial world. He is an overlord who far surpasses Luo Lian!"

Countless cultivators shouted, excitedly discussed, all shocked by Di Qing's schemes and methods. Even more astonishing was why the five races had agreed to this.

As countless cultivators discussed this, the sky shifted, a myriad of rays of light appeared, and boundless merits emerged.

The golden light of those merits illuminated the entire sky, obscuring the brilliance of the sun. Then it fell upon the Ancestral Dragon, and upon the avian race…

The karma and karmic consequences binding them gradually dissipated as the merits were washed away. However, the karma and karmic consequences borne by the dragon and phoenix clans were too vast; even with the arrival of merits, not all of it was washed away. But it did wash away eight or nine tenths, and the remaining little was not a problem at all.

After all, by suppressing the earth in this way, merits will be generated continuously over time, thereby washing away cause and effect and karma.

The beast race carries relatively little karma and karmic burden, and now that merit has descended, it has washed it all away. Moreover, this cleansing of merit has brought many benefits to the beast and Qilin races. The Kunlun Immortal Clan is no exception.

The Xuanwu and Baihu clans carried the least karma and karmic burdens; even after the cleansing of their merits, vast amounts of merit remained. This merit had nowhere to go, since both the Xuanwu and Baihu ancestors had sacrificed themselves.

To this end, these merits traced the bloodlines of the two races, finding many wild beasts and cultivators scattered throughout the primordial wilderness. Through the cleansing and tempering of their bloodlines, they were able to revert to their ancestral forms. In a short time, a group of White Tiger and Black Tortoise clans were established.

The countless Xuanwu clan were born and settled in the northern lands. The countless Baihu clan also settled in the west, which greatly excited the White Tiger Ancestor.

Of course, Di Qing, as the core figure in this event, also received boundless merit. After this merit descended, Di Qing didn't even glance at it, simply passing it on to the Kunlun Immortal Clan according to the flow of fortune. This could be considered compensation for what happened before.

As merits were accumulated, countless members of the Kunlun Immortal Clan experienced a qualitative change in their cultivation, breaking through each other's limits.

When everything was over, the sky was high and clear, and the heavens were still the same heavens.

But Di Qing looked up at the sky, trying to find traces of the Heavenly Dao, and to see what the Heavenly Dao would think if it saw such a scene.

Now, Di Qing already considers the Heavenly Dao to be a mastermind behind everything. Di Qing has also disrupted the Heavenly Dao's plans, causing it to lose its five races. Therefore, the Heavenly Dao is bound to be angry.

Di Qing wanted the Heavenly Dao to be angry, to see what the Heavenly Dao would do after being angry—whether it would attack directly, remain silent, or be restricted by something.

At this moment, the Emperor Qing's fortune has not yet dissipated, and the awakened will of Pangu has not yet fallen asleep. It is simply waiting for the descent of the Heavenly Dao. If the Heavenly Dao descends, then a battle with Heaven is inevitable.

Di Qing waited for a long time, but neither sensed the descent of the Heavenly Dao nor its wrath: "Heavenly Dao, you haven't appeared at all. It seems you are truly capable of forbearance! Of course, it's also possible that there are some special restrictions in the world that prevent you from taking action, or that you have some concerns!"

Di Qing sneered, gradually withdrawing his power and causing Pangu's will to fall into slumber once more. Indeed, this scheme, besides disrupting the Heavenly Dao's plans, was also intended to test the Heavenly Dao itself.

If the Heavenly Dao were to turn evil and attack recklessly, then Di Qing, aside from fighting the Heavenly Dao, would also know that the Heavenly Dao is a lawless entity. But since the Heavenly Dao has not shown itself, it can be confirmed that the Heavenly Dao is either sufficiently patient, or has some concerns or restrictions.

Knowing these things, Di Qing will be able to better plan his future strategies and fight against the Heavenly Dao.

Seeing that the Heavenly Dao was slow to act and showed no intention of revealing itself, Di Qing knew that his plan to lure the Heavenly Dao had failed. Although it failed, he had still gained some insight into the Heavenly Dao's secrets. This was still a significant gain.

After digesting and reaping the benefits, Di Qing communicated with Zu Long and the others through his Qi: "Zu Long, after you sacrificed yourselves, have there been any changes or anything amiss?"

"The changes are immense, and I've gained insight into many secrets of the primordial world." The Ancestral Dragon, having just transformed into a Azure Dragon, has already reaped enormous rewards.

He spoke with a mixture of emotion and melancholy: "After this sacrifice to heaven and earth, we have become a part of the primordial world, a link in its operational rules. From this day forward, we will be completely bound to the primordial world, sharing its life and death."

"That's right. From this day forward, we will become one with the primordial world. As long as the primordial world exists, we will never die. We will also change with the primordial world and rise with it."

"Moreover, our respective races have also reached a special pact with the primordial world. From now on, all members of our race who bear our bloodline must fulfill the agreement to sacrifice themselves to heaven and earth after they perish, and then merge into the earth to stabilize and restore it."

"If the dragon race perishes, their bodies will merge into the earth, transforming into dragon veins. If the scaled-armored race perishes, they will become rivers, nourishing the primordial emperors. If the avian race perishes, their bodies will merge into lava rivers. If the phoenix race perishes, they will be buried in endless volcanoes to guard them."

"The same applies to the other beasts, the Black Tortoise, and the White Tiger. Even if the primordial land is severely damaged, our people cannot wait to perish; we must sacrifice ourselves to stabilize the primordial world."

The Phoenix Ancestor and his companions spoke eloquently about the changes that followed their sacrifice to heaven and earth, and the responsibilities they were to bear. Such responsibilities completely connected their five clans to the primordial land. No wonder the Ancestral Dragon said that from this day forward, they and the primordial world would become one.

Even Di Qing hadn't expected such a change after the sacrifice to heaven and earth. Di Qing's mind was calm as he sighed slightly, "Such a change—hasn't it completely transformed your various races into special nourishment for the primordial world?!"
