Primordial Era: Starting by overwhelming the Sages, Hongjun was stunned!

Jin'ao Island, Biyou Palace.

After many days, Kong Xuan returned to his old haunts.

The island was still shrouded in celestial mist, with spiritual springs and waterfalls, exotic flowers and rare herbs everywhere, and celestial birds and beasts roaming freely. The grandeur of the pilgrimage of ten thousand immortals was not diminished by the great calamity; on the contrary, due to the dominance of the Jie Sect and the convergence of fortune, it appeared even more prosperous and flourishing.

But at this moment, the atmosphere on the island was different from usual.

More than 10,000 disciples of the Jie Sect stood solemnly in front of the palace square.

Duobao, Zhao Gongming, the Three Immortals of the Clouds, Golden Spirit Mother, Wudang Mother, Tortoise Spirit Mother...

All the core teachings, all the inner and outer disciples, those who survived the great eon, have returned.

They were not wearing Taoist robes or carrying any magical artifacts; they simply stood quietly in the square, their gazes all fixed on the direction of the palace gate.

His expression was solemn, his eyes were intense, as if he were waiting for something.

Kong Xuan's figure stepped out of the void and landed in front of the palace.

He wore a black robe, had black hair, and a calm gaze.

"Welcome back, Vice Leader!"

More than 10,000 disciples bowed in unison, their voices resounding through the heavens.

Kong Xuan glanced at everyone and nodded slightly.

He could clearly sense that these disciples all carried the aura of having survived a calamity, and their eyes, besides reverence, also held an unprecedented firmness and sense of belonging.

After this battle, the Jie Sect was no longer the disorganized group it once was.

Instead, they truly united as one, a single, unyielding force capable of contending with heaven and earth... a solid block of steel.

Get up.

Kong Xuan spoke, his voice not loud, but clearly reaching the ears of every disciple.

Everyone stood up, but their eyes remained fixed on him.

Kong Xuan said no more, turned around, and stepped into Biyou Palace.

Inside the palace, the Tongtian Sect Leader was already seated on the cloud platform.

His body was surrounded by a pure and perfect light, his holy might was restrained, and the backlash from the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation had been completely healed. In fact, he had even benefited from the misfortune, and his holy foundation showed signs of further advancement under the cleansing power of the Primordial Chaos.

At this moment, as he looked at Kong Xuan walking through the palace gate, his eyes held neither joy nor sorrow, only a complex calm.

"Master."

Kong Xuan walked to the front of the cloud platform and bowed slightly.

Tongtian remained silent for a moment, then slowly spoke:

"Is it all over?"

"It's all over."

"Hongjun..."

"He has perished."

"The Four Saints..."

"His sainthood has been revoked, his cultivation has been completely dissipated, and he is now merely a mortal."

"Heaven's will is driven by selfish desires..."

"Completely annihilated, the karma of Longhan dissipated with it."

The question-and-answer format is concise and clear.

Tongtian slowly closed his eyes, and after a long while, he sighed softly:

"it is good."

A single word seemed to unload a burden that had lasted for millions of years.

He received the Dao from Zixiao Palace, obtained the Primordial Purple Qi, established the lineage of the Jie Sect, and gathered ten thousand immortals to pay homage...

He always believed that he was on the right path guided by the Taoist patriarch.

But when the Investiture of the Gods calamity began, the Four Sages joined forces to force the emperor to abdicate, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation was broken, all the disciples were listed on the list, and the lineage was almost extinct...

He vaguely realized that this so-called righteous path was not as bright as he had imagined.

Kong Xuan's appearance, with his absolute strength, tore away all pretense, laying bare the most cruel and real truth of the primordial world before him.

Heaven's way is biased; it feeds on countless eons.

In the game of chess played by sages, all living beings are the pieces.

How absurd, how... tragic.

Now, the game is broken, and the players are dead.

The primordial world is undergoing an unprecedented transformation.

Three paths stand side by side, nine sages emerge together, humanity prospers, and all races coexist...

Whether this is good or bad, even the heavens cannot say.

But he knew one thing.

From this day forward, all living beings in the primordial world will truly possess the right to choose their own path.

What are your plans next?

Tongtian opened his eyes and looked at Kong Xuan.

Kong Xuan remained calm:

"The overall situation of the primordial world has been settled, but the details still need to be sorted out."

"The divine positions in the Heavenly Court need to be redefined through joint discussion among the three realms."

"The authority over reincarnation in the underworld needs further coordination with Lady Pingxin."

"The nine saints of the human race have just been established, and they need to consolidate their holy foundation and straighten out their relations with all races."

"The Phoenix Clan's revival, the remnants of the Dragon Clan and Qilin Clan, and even the descendants of the Lich Clan... all need to be settled."

He paused, his gaze deep:

"Although the great calamity has ended, the myriad races of the primordial world have been entangled in cause and effect for hundreds of millions of years, which cannot be cleared up in a single day."

"A new order and new rules are needed to maintain this hard-won balance."

Tongtian nodded slightly:

Do you have a set of rules?

"have."

Kong Xuan raised his hand, and in his palm, the Chaos Light Wheel swirled, evolving into a miniature primordial phantom.

Within the illusory image, three pillars of light—Heaven, Earth, and Man—stand side by side, intertwined yet independent of each other.

The Heavenly Court floats atop the Heavenly Pillar, its divine light flowing, with divine runes rising and falling within it, each connected to three streams of energy.

The underworld lies at the bottom of the earth pillar, the wheel of reincarnation slowly rotates, the six gates are clearly visible, and the souls of the dead are reborn in an orderly manner.

Humans reside within the pillars of humanity, where billions of human phantoms labor, cultivate, and pass on their heritage, while nine holy lights hang in the sky like the sun, illuminating the mountains and rivers.

Beyond the three paths, countless tiny points of light were scattered, representing the myriad races of the primordial world: phoenixes, true dragons, qilin, witches, demons, and even spirits and ghosts...

Under the illumination of the three rays of light, each had its own place and performed its own duties.

"Three paths under one rule, all races coexisting."

Kong Xuan's voice was calm, yet carried an air of absolute indifference:

"The Heavenly Court enforces the Heavenly Rules and governs the sun, moon, stars, wind, rain, thunder, lightning, and the seasons of all things."

"The underworld governs reincarnation, and controls life and death, rebirth, karmic retribution, and the final resting place of the soul."

"Humanity upholds civilization, and controls the transmission of civilization, the rise and fall of ethnic groups, and the laws of the world."

"All races, according to their endowments, merits, and causes and effects, reside under the three paths, enjoy the fortune of heaven and earth, and cultivate their own great paths."

"From this day forward, no single race will ever be dominant again, and there will never be another eon of cleansing."

"The primordial wilderness... should be the primordial wilderness of all living beings."

After he finished speaking, Biyou Palace fell silent.

Tongtian stared at the illusory figure, his eyes flashing.

After a long while, he slowly exhaled:

"This is no easy task."

"With the three paths newly established, it will take a long time for them to adjust to each other's rights and responsibilities."

"The grudges among the myriad races have been brewing for a long time, and cannot be resolved by a single decree."

"Not to mention... those chaotic remnants, ancient powerful beings, and even... those peering out from beyond the chaos, who have existed since the beginning of time."

Tongtian looked at Kong Xuan, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes:

"Though you are strong now, in the end... you are all alone."

"The effort required to establish such an unprecedented new order, and the resistance required to suppress it, far exceed our imagination."

Upon hearing this, Kong Xuan smiled slightly.

That smile was calm, yet it carried a confidence that transcended eternity.

"I am enough."

Upon hearing this, Tongtian was taken aback.

Then, gazing at the figure in black robes before him, at those calm, unwavering eyes that seemed to hold the vastness of the ancient starry sky, he suddenly understood.

Yes.

Kong Xuan.

His disciple was no longer the Five-Colored Divine Light Master who needed his protection on Golden Rooster Ridge back then.

He was no longer the deputy leader of the Jie Sect who, despite his strength, still needed to rely on the Zhuxian Sword Formation to contend with the Four Saints when he first attained the Hunyuan realm.

It was not the peak of the Hunyuan Daluo realm that he later achieved by slaughtering the Four Saints and needing to break through with the help of the Chaos Tribulation.

He is now a late-stage Primordial Limitless Golden Immortal!

He is an unparalleled being who can suppress the selfish desires of the Heavenly Dao with a single stroke, sever the shackles of the Earthly Dao with a single sword, forcibly awaken the Human Dao, and help the Nine Saints emerge together!

What rebound?

What kind of resistance?

In the face of absolute power, it's nothing but a joke.

What is the will of Heaven? It will retaliate with a swift and decisive crackdown.

What about Hongjun? He can destroy them with a flick of his hand.

What about Rahu's demonic thoughts? They were annihilated with a flick of the finger.

Those primordial remnants lurking in the shadows of the primordial world, ancient powerful beings, and even those peering out from beyond the chaos...

What is it compared to the late stage of Hunyuan Wuji?

not to mention......

Tongtian's gaze fell on Kong Xuan. Beneath that seemingly calm aura lay a vast and unfathomable source of the Great Dao.

In just a few days.

From attaining the Great Luo of Primordial Chaos, to slaughtering the Four Saints, then stepping into Chaos, undergoing the Great Dao Tribulation, breaking through the attack of ten thousand demons, and finally breaking through to the late stage of the Great Luo of Primordial Chaos...

Such a speed of cultivation is unprecedented!

If we give him more time...

Breaking through to the level of Hunyuan Wuji is probably just... an easy matter.

At that time, let alone the primordial world, who could stop him in the entire chaos?
