Houtu is infatuated with me, so I made her lean against the wall.

Beyond the heavens, the Purple Cloud Palace.

Qin Ming sat upright on the Thirty-Sixth Grade World-Suppressing White Lotus, looking at the human race, the ferocious beast race, which had begun to counterattack after hundreds of years, on the chessboard of heaven and earth, and a smile appeared on his face.

As for Ancestor Yangmei, he showed no expression when he saw the ferocious beast clan falling into a disadvantageous position.

After all, this ferocious beast clan was just a scheme he casually set up.

The human race is a race formed by gathering the great fortune of the Great Dao, using the Chaos Breath Soil, the Three Lights Divine Water, and the essence and blood of Nuwa and Qin Ming.

The development over so many years and the governance of many great human sages have laid a solid foundation.

It is simply impossible for the vanguard of the ferocious beast race to defeat the human race.

Moreover, his original intention in participating in this great calamity was not to annihilate the human race at all.

He had other intentions.

Therefore, upon seeing the vanguard of the ferocious beast clan falling into a disadvantageous position, Ancestor Yangmei was not disappointed. Instead, he bowed respectfully and looked at Qin Ming:

"Friendly methods."

"After the Dragon-Han Great Calamity, the three races have unknowingly developed to their current state."

"And they subdued the Xuan Turtle clan without a sound. I admire them!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming smiled faintly:

"It was just a matter of chance, nothing to worry about."

"I wonder what other tricks you have up your sleeve?"

"If that's the case, then we won't be able to trigger the Great Tribulation."

Ancestor Yangmei shook his head, not bothering to circulate his magic power, and looked at Hongjun beside him:

"In this great calamity, if I were alone, I would not dare to challenge the Dao Venerable!"

"I have already made two moves this time; now it is up to Fellow Daoist Hongjun to decide."

Hongjun was a master strategist, and he liked to keep his trump cards hidden.

This time, we can take advantage of this great calamity to get a glimpse of Hongjun's methods.

Upon hearing Yang Mei's words, a look of helplessness appeared on Hongjun's face:

"If you want to know my trump card, just tell me directly. Why go to such lengths?"

"However, now that it is the two of us who are playing against the Daoist Master, it would be unreasonable for me not to intervene."

"Very well, since that's the case, I'll place two stones!"

After saying this, Hongjun mobilized the power of the Heavenly Dao, condensing four chess pieces, which were then placed in the four directions.

In an instant, the sky split open, and the four great worlds appeared in the world.

On the Eastern Continent, one after another, winged races, remarkably similar to humans, descended from the sky.

In the southern continent, a giant engulfed in flames, carrying divine fire that filled the sky, descended upon the rear of the ferocious beast race.

In the western continent, countless phantom figures floated, their forms merging into the void, making them impossible to discern.

On the northern continent, countless golden creatures resembling tigers floated in the void, unleashing divine powers condensed from the laws of gold.

With the emergence of the four major races, the human cultivators, who had previously held the advantage, were once again at a disadvantage.

Not only the human race, but also the four races that helped the human race—the dragon, phoenix, qilin, and black tortoise—were all defeated in the surprise attacks of the four races.

Divine blood poured down from the sky, the Dao body shattered, the primordial spirit dissipated, and the true spirit fled into the Eight Desolate Battle Immortal Ranking.

Qin Ming looked at the four races that suddenly appeared on the chessboard, a look of surprise on his face.

He never expected that Hongjun would create the four major races so quietly.

After closing his eyes and sensing for a moment, the surprise on his face deepened:

"Friendly methods."

"They actually imitated the human race to create a Celestial race."

Qin Ming didn't pay much attention to the other three races.

These three races may seem incredibly powerful, but in reality, their potential is limited.

However, the appearance of a race with wings on its back and an appearance exactly like that of humans that appeared on the Eastern Continent surprised Qin Ming.

This race is one that was born in accordance with the will of Heaven.

They are called the Celestial Race.

The Celestials are very similar to humans.

However, unlike ordinary humans who are born weak, they are different.

The Celestial Race is born with the power of celestial beings.

Furthermore, as time goes by, one can easily comprehend the three thousand Heavenly Dao Laws, and the speed of strength advancement is extremely fast.

Upon receiving Qin Ming's praise, Hongjun smiled and humbly replied:

"It cannot compare to the Daoist Master's superior methods."

"How did you manage to break this deadlock?"

Seeing the smug Hongjun, Qin Ming pursed his lips, circulated his holy power, and gathered the laws of martial arts, causing the four sons to land next to the four black sons.

Suddenly, Xiao Yan, Guang Chengzi, the Three Immortals, Zhao Gongming, and the Queen Mother of the West, who were cultivating in the Heavenly Court, the Immortal Court, and the Nine Netherworld, opened their eyes.

Without the slightest hesitation, the seven people immediately channeled their magical power and soared into the sky.

Among them, Guang Chengzi and the Three Immortals of Sanxiao descended upon the Eastern Continent with heavenly soldiers and generals to help the human race resist the Celestial Race.

Zhao Gongming led a group of human cultivators who practiced the Seven Emotions and Six Desires to the Northern Continent to help the human race resist the Gengjin Tiger Clan.

The Queen Mother of the West, accompanied by a host of ghost soldiers and generals from the Nine Netherworld, descended upon the Western Continent to help the human race resist the Phantom Clan.

Alone, Xiao Yan arrived at the Southern Continent with lightning speed, condensing a divine fire lotus in each of his hands.

Upon arriving at the battlefield, Xiao Yan's divine fire lotuses rapidly converged in his hands, forming a twelve-petaled crimson fire lotus.

The fire lotus contained terrifying power, shooting towards the lava clan cultivators below like lightning.

Upon arriving at the Lava Clan's cultivator center, the fire lotus rapidly burst open.

A terrifying power swept across the sky.

The flames on the lava giant's body were quickly devoured, decomposed, and digested by the divine fire.

The divine fire spread continuously, devouring one lava giant after another.

This scene thoroughly enraged the powerful being among the lava giants.

A lava giant, thousands of feet tall, roared to the sky and slammed its fist down at Xiao Yan, who was suspended in the air.

The immense force, carrying a rain of fire, crashed down on Xiao Yan with unstoppable momentum.

Xiao Yan's pupils contracted, and the Law of Fire rapidly condensed, transforming into enormous wings that solidified behind him.

With a flap of his wings, Xiao Yan dodged and weaved, constantly fending off the attacks of the lava giant.

Seeing that the battle situation on all sides was stable, Qin Ming did not hesitate and placed another piece.

The next moment, another strange change occurred on the northern continent.

A deafening roar resounded, and the phantom of the White Tiger sacred beast formed in the sky.

The white tiger roared to the sky, and instantly a murderous aura filled the air.

In an instant, the situation changed drastically.

A dense aura of killing intent coalesced into a jet-black tiger.

The tiger unleashes its divine power, stirring up the winds and clouds.

Immediately afterwards, a large sword slowly materialized.

Chi You, who was training his army, suddenly had a thought. He took to the air and looked at the black tiger shooting towards him. He frowned and was about to use his laws to shatter the tiger.

But at that moment, the black tiger suddenly transformed, burrowing into the broadsword and circling around Chi You.

Chi You looked at the broadsword, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. He reached out and beckoned, and in the next moment, the broadsword fell into Chi You's hand.

With his broadsword in hand, Chi You's aura surged.

The overwhelming laws of war coalesced around Chi You.

Chi You's face lit up with joy:

"Tiger Soul Blade, what a magnificent Tiger Soul Blade!"

"From now on, you will fight alongside me to conquer the world!"

Inside the Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun's pupils contracted immediately upon seeing Qin Ming's handwriting:

"Fellow Daoist is truly wealthy!"

The Tiger Soul Blade in Chi You's hand was actually a treasure obtained through acquired merit.

Moreover, it is not a treasure acquired through merit or virtue, created by the heavens and earth or through some great act of merit.

This Tiger Soul Blade was actually forged by Qin Ming.

This discovery filled Hongjun with horror.
