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

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall nodded in agreement.

After pondering for a moment, Lao Tzu was the first to agree: "This method is indeed feasible."

Although the Zhou Tian Star Array covers most of the starry sea, the foundation of the array itself lies in the 365 main stars.

Those remote, desolate stars and silent star fields are not the key defense areas of the demon race.

As long as one acts discreetly and avoids actively triggering the demon race's restrictions, the collection can be completed with minimal cost.

Dijiang also said in a deep voice: "First, we will appoint Fellow Daoist Randeng as the God of Funerals, and then use our authority to sense the aura of the Father God in the starry sky."

The Pan brothers' proposal is prudent.

Once the collection is complete, we can then proceed with the formal burial.

Pan Xuan said no more, walked to the center of the hall, and the Star God Seal flew out from his sleeve.

A purple-gold light shone down beneath the dome of the Pangu Hall, illuminating the entire hall in every detail.

Nine brand marks are intertwined on the seal, and now, this great seal is about to receive its tenth brand mark.

Ran Deng slowly stood up, placed the glass lamp beside him, clasped his hands together, and bowed slightly to Pan Xuan.

"The Great Dao is above, and Heaven bears witness."

Pan Xuan's voice pierced through the dome of the Pangu Palace, through the starlight barrier of the Zhou Tian Star Array, and entered the profound laws of the Dao.

"Now there is Pan Xuan, the master of the divine way of Buzhou Mountain, who is acting on behalf of Heaven to bestow titles."

The Burning Lamp Taoist was the first coffin in the world to take human form. He cultivated the Way of Nirvana and held the flame of the Glazed Lamp.

Now, I, the God of Funerals, have entered the divine path and taken control of the authority over funerals.

From then on, all matters of primordial funerals were under the jurisdiction of the god of funerals.

The god of funerals, guided by glass lamps and grounded in the path of annihilation, protects the peace of the departed souls and bids them farewell.

A purple-gold light shone from the Star Seal and landed on the center of Burning Lamp's brow.

An unprecedented divine law slowly took shape between the eyebrows of the lamp.

It was a shape intertwined with a coffin and a bright lamp; the coffin represented rest and final rest, while the lamp represented guidance and farewell.

When the two are combined, they form the complete embodiment of the way of funeral.

Unlike all previous divine deities and sovereigns, this is different from the law-based deities of the Shinto order.

The moment the Law God of the Burning Lamp took shape, it spontaneously emitted a deep and far-reaching hum.

It was as if the first death knell had been tolled for all the departed souls of the primordial world.

The sound of the death knell pierced through the dome of the Pangu Temple.

It pierced through the starlight curtain of the Zhou Tian Star Array, penetrated the body of Buzhou Mountain, and spread throughout the entire prehistoric land.

This moment spans from the shores of the East China Sea to the Kunlun Mountains in the far west.

From the immortal volcanoes in the south to the frigid ice plains in the north, all areas covered by the divine network.

All the mountain gods, water gods, land gods, and city gods, along with the divine deities of law between their brows, trembled slightly at the same time.

They all sensed that a new righteous god had appeared in the Shinto system: the god of funerals.

Deep within the sea of ​​blood, in the Netherworld Blood Sea Palace.

Styx sat cross-legged atop the crimson lotus of karmic fire, the Blood Sea God of Laws between his brows resonating subtly with the sound of the death knell.

He opened his eyes, looked in the direction of Mount Buzhou, and muttered to himself:

"The way of funerals...the final resting place of the dead. That's an interesting divine position."

He pondered for a moment, then closed his eyes again to continue comprehending the Great Dao of Blood Sea, but he had already memorized the establishment of the Dao of Funeral in his heart.

In the East Sea Dragon Palace, Ao Yuan was leading the Dragon Clan's water god on a patrol of the seabed's water veins.

The water god's divine power between his brows trembled slightly, and then he sensed the newly added divine mark in the divine network.

He stopped and looked up at the sky above the sea, a hint of emotion in his expression: "The god of funerals, even death has become orderly. This divine system is becoming more and more complete."

The dragon water gods around him also sensed it and began to whisper among themselves.

Since joining the divine path, the dragon race has experienced a significant acceleration in repaying its karmic debts, smoother water vein management, and a deepening sense of identification with the divine system.

Now that a new god has been added to the divine path, my awe for the strategist of the witch clan has grown even stronger.

At Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain, beneath the ginseng fruit tree, Zhen Yuanzi sat discussing the Dao with Hongyun, while Qingfeng and Mingyue served tea to each other.

The ancestral law deity of the Earth Immortals trembled slightly between Zhen Yuanzi's brows. He put down his teacup, closed his eyes to sense for a moment, and a hint of amazement flashed in his eyes: "Fellow Daoist Pan Xuan's understanding of the Way of Funerals is indeed far-sighted. With this move, the order from birth to death is complete."

Hongyun also sensed it and laughed, "That guy Randeng is usually quiet, but I never expected him to be the first coffin in the world to take human form."

"Great, now even funerals are under divine supervision. The Shinto system is getting more and more lively, what a wonderful thing!"

Phoenix Perch Mountain, beneath the innate parasol tree.

As Fuxi was using the Eight Trigrams to deduce the operating rules of the divine network, the divine law deity between his brows suddenly trembled.

He opened his eyes, and the Eight Trigrams of the Primordial Chaos deduced things on their own for a moment, then a slight smile appeared on his lips:

"Randeng has indeed entered the path of divinity. The day that Fellow Daoist Panxuan, the God of Funerals, came to Phoenix Perch Mountain to ask me to deduce Randeng's origins, it turns out it was for this step."

He glanced at Nuwa, who was in seclusion deep within the cave, and nodded inwardly.

Pan Xuan's every move was laying the groundwork for a larger game.

Mount Sumeru, under the Bodhi tree.

Jieyin and Zhunti are using their primordial spirits to carefully examine the restrictions within the Primordial Purple Qi, attempting to find the "problem" that Pan Xuan hinted at.

Although the marks of Hongjun's disciples were still visible between their brows, their minds no longer belonged entirely to the Xuanmen sect.

When the divine network sensed that Dipankara had entered the divine path, Zhunti was the first to open his eyes, his brows slightly raised:

"The God of Funerals, who took form from the first coffin in the world, and who wields the Dao of Annihilation."

Senior brother, Randeng has always been a man of few words in Zixiao Palace, never participating in any disputes, yet now he has also entered the path of divinity.

The inclusiveness of the Shinto system is truly admirable.

Jieyin nodded slowly, a thoughtful look flashing across his sallow face: "When Pan Xuan left that day, he said that with our qualifications, we didn't need him to say anything more."

The weight of this statement has increased with each expansion of the Shinto system.

Once the problems within the Primordial Purple Qi are clarified, perhaps that will be the time for you and me to make a decision.

Deep within the starry sky, on the Sun Star, in the Lingxiao Palace, Emperor Jun sat upon his throne, discussing the Heavenly Court's military affairs with Taiyi and Kunpeng.

When the death knell pierced through the starry sea and entered the hall, the expressions of the three people changed simultaneously.

Di Jun remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking: "God of Funerals, the divine system even incorporates death into its order."

Pan Xuan's plans are indeed far-reaching. If the Heavenly Court doesn't accelerate its pace, it fears it will be completely left behind by the Divine Path.

The Kunpeng interface said: "Your Majesty, the divine system is expanding its components from the order of heaven and earth to the cycle of life and death."

Once they complete this closed loop, there will be almost no area in the primordial world that the gods cannot govern.

The Heavenly Court must complete the list of gods on the Investiture of the Gods as soon as possible, and seize the initiative in areas where the divine path has not yet been fully covered.

For example, the teachings of the Way of the Stars and the investiture of star gods are areas that the divine system has not yet explored.

Di Jun nodded and immediately ordered the ten demon generals to intensify their practice of the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Formation, while also instructing Kunpeng to begin preparations for the conferment of the Star God title.
