Primordial Era: The Witch Clan's Dog-Headed Strategist

An indescribable, mysterious aura emanated from the Star Seal.

That aura was more profound, more ancient, and more majestic than that of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, as if it contained the ultimate truth of the rules of heaven and earth, and as if it were connected to some higher-level source of laws.

Pan Xuan was closest to the object and therefore felt it most clearly.

He could feel the star imprint slightly warming his palm, and the runes on the imprint were evolving and perfecting themselves at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Those originally rudimentary divine rules, after the imprints of the three races came together, seemed to receive some crucial supplement and began to develop in a more complete direction on their own.

A purple-gold light surged from the seal, flowing like a living thing over the five-clawed golden dragon on the seal knob. At this moment, the dragon's eyes shone with true spiritual light.

The light wasn't activated; it opened its eyes on its own.

The Starry Sky Divine Seal, a supreme innate treasure, has been upgraded from a top-grade innate spiritual treasure to a supreme innate treasure.

Everyone in the hall felt the change.

Although the Twelve Ancestral Witches could not use the Law Gods, their Law Gods were still confronting Hongjun's will within the Heavenly Dao.

The moment the Star Seal was upgraded to a Primordial Treasure, they clearly felt that their position as Law Gods within the Heavenly Dao had become even more secure.

That was a direct feedback from the divine system to the authority of the Heavenly Dao.

The stronger the divine path, the greater the weight of the law deities in the Heavenly Dao, and the greater the resistance to the expansion of Hongjun's will.

Yuan Feng's feelings were more specific.

The divine law of the sky god between her brows became more solid and profound the moment the Star Seal was upgraded, as if it had grown from a newly sprouted seed into a sapling rooted in fertile soil.

She could feel that her connection with the heavens had become closer, the laws governing the wind, clouds, rain, and snow were clearer in her eyes, and the essence of the Nirvana Fire was more transparent in her perception.

"A supreme innate treasure." Yuan Feng's voice carried a rare hint of emotion.

"Moreover, it is not an ordinary innate treasure. The laws contained in this Star Seal are laws unique to the Divine Path."

It is not a supreme treasure born naturally from chaos, but a primordial supreme treasure that evolved on its own as the divine system was perfected.

In other words, this seal is the embodiment of the divine way; the stronger the divine way, the stronger it becomes.

Pan Xuan looked down at the Star Seal in his hand, a complex emotion welling up in his heart that was hard to describe.

From the first time this great seal was seen on the Purple Star, to its later re-refinement using the Primordial Measuring Ruler and the Twenty-Four Grade Creation Green Lotus.

Now, with the three races' imprints gathered together, the Star Seal has automatically upgraded to a supreme innate treasure.

Having come this far, he knew better than anyone the significance of this seal.

It was no longer just his personal magic weapon, but the treasure that stabilized the entire divine system.

The five-clawed golden dragon of the dragon clan, the jade unicorn of the qilin clan, and the fire phoenix of the phoenix clan.

The three marks act like three pillars, firmly supporting the Shinto system.

The Star Seal itself is the dome supported by these three pillars.

More importantly, the advancement of the Star Seal signifies that the Divine Path system has initially formed its own core of laws.

Hongjun's immortal cultivation system is based on the fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation and uses the Investiture of the Gods as its tool, following a top-down path.

First, there are sages who unite with the Dao, then in the name of the Heavenly Dao, deities are conferred titles, and the Primordial Purple Qi is used as the foundation for proving the Dao.

The Wu Clan's divine system is based on the Star Seal and uses the Law Gods as tools, following a bottom-up approach.

First, establish mountain and water gods, sort out the earth's veins and water veins, and improve the order of the primordial world. Then, use merit and fortune to nourish the divine path, allowing the divine system to evolve and improve on its own.

Although the two paths lead to the same destination, their foundations are completely different.

The foundation of the Immortal Path is the will of Hongjun, while the foundation of the Divine Path is the order of all races in the primordial world.

The former is controlled by one person, while the latter is supported by all races. Although the current divine system is far from being able to rival the immortal system.

Hongjun's immortal system has been operating for a long time, with sages presiding over it, the Investiture of the Gods in hand, and the Primordial Purple Qi as the foundation for proving the Dao.

However, the speed at which the Shinto system has developed has made it impossible for anyone to ignore.

The Dragon Clan, Qilin Clan, and Phoenix Clan joined one after another, and the Divine Path Network is spreading from Buzhou Mountain to the entire prehistoric world.

The Star Seal's upgrade to a Primordial Treasure signifies that the Divine Path system is growing from a seedling into a towering tree rooted in fertile soil.

Reaching a level comparable to Hongjun Immortal Dao is only a matter of time.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Pan Xuan."

Yuan Feng's voice came from under the Wutong Divine Tree, "The Star Seal has advanced, and the Divine Path has taken another step forward. It can be said that the Phoenix Clan's joining the Divine Path at this moment is quite timely."

Pan Xuan put the Star Seal into his sleeve and solemnly cupped his hands to Yuan Feng: "If the Phoenix Clan had not joined, the Star Seal would not have been upgraded at this moment."

Only with the gathering of the three races can the foundation of the divine path be laid. Fellow Daoist Yuanfeng, Pan Xuan will forever remember the kindness of the Phoenix Clan.

Yuan Feng shook her head slightly: "Fellow Daoist, there's no need to be so polite. The Phoenix Clan's entry into the Divine Path is a mutually beneficial and win-win situation. The Divine Path has given the Phoenix Clan the opportunity to cleanse its karma, and the Phoenix Clan has also filled the void in the sky for the Divine Path."

As for future events, the Phoenix Clan will do its best. The Mountain God governs the land, the Water God governs the water, and the Sky God governs the sky.

Only when the three parts of Heaven, Earth, and Water are complete can the framework of the divine system be considered truly whole.

Pan Xuan nodded and then discussed some follow-up details with Yuan Feng.

The coordination mechanism between the Sky God and the Mountain God and the Land God; the cooperation between the Phoenix Clan Sky God and the Dragon Clan Water God in terms of wind, clouds, rain, and snow; and the scope of authority and responsibility of the Sky God in inspecting celestial phenomena.

These details, though seemingly trivial, are crucial to the long-term operation of the Shinto system.

Yuan Feng was clearly well-prepared, handling each question with ease. In their back-and-forth exchanges, they finalized the basic framework for the operation of the Sky God system.

After the discussion was completed, Pan Xuan bowed and took his leave.

The twelve Ancestral Witches also bowed to Yuan Feng to bid her farewell.

As Zhu Rong was leaving, he glanced back at the Wutong Divine Tree, his lips twitched, but he didn't say anything. He just grinned and followed Pan Xuan.

Yuan Feng personally escorted everyone out of the Undying Volcano.

Like Zu Long, she was bound by the oath of the Great Dao and could not leave the area of ​​the Undying Volcano.

But she lingered at the edge of the barrier for a long time, watching the thirteen streaks of light disappear into the southern horizon.

"My lord," Qingluan said softly, "Regarding the feud between the Witch Clan and Emperor Jun and Taiyi, will the Phoenix Clan be involved in the future?"

Yuan Feng remained silent for a moment, then slowly said, "The Phoenix Clan has entered the Divine Path, and matters of the Divine Path are matters of the Phoenix Clan."

But the most important thing right now is not to get involved in the conflict, but to fulfill the duties of the Sky God. The Phoenix Clan is small and its foundation is not yet secure; we must first establish a firm foothold.

Qingluan nodded and asked no further questions.

Thirteen streaks of light pierced the southern sky, flying towards Mount Buzhou.

Pan Xuanfei was at the forefront, the star seal in his sleeve still slightly warm.

The three brand marks on the body—a golden dragon, a jade unicorn, and a fire phoenix—shone brightly in a purple-gold light.
