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

Deep within the Heavenly Dao Space, Hongjun sat cross-legged amidst the purple-gold core light, with fragments of the Creation Jade Disc slowly rotating before him.

He sensed the change in Di Jun's Primordial Purple Qi almost immediately.

It was an extremely subtle tremor of the laws.

It came from the depths of chaos, piercing through the layers of barriers of the Heavenly Dao space.

It broke through the chaotic seal of the illusory image of Pangu's true form.

Like a gently plucked string, it stirred a barely perceptible ripple within the core of his will.

The tremor was extremely faint, so faint that it would have been impossible to perceive it if it weren't for the primordial connection between him and the Primordial Purple Qi at the level of the fragment of the Creation Jade Disc.

But it really did happen.

The restriction within the primordial purple aura is being forcibly stripped away by some external force.

All the imprints of his will that he left behind in the confinement were being dismantled, disintegrated, and replaced layer by layer.

Hongjun's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.

He did not react immediately, but instead immersed all his will into the fragments of the Creation Jade Disc.

They attempted to trace the specific origin of that tremor by examining the fundamental connection between the three thousand Great Dao Laws contained in the fragments and the Primordial Purple Qi.

The ancient realm deep within chaos, the ruins of a divine realm woven from the laws of beginning and end.

The combined power of the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Three Pure Ones, the creative power of Pangu's true form, and the pure Yang power of Emperor Jun's laws.

All the images gradually became clearer in his perception.

He saw Di Jun sitting cross-legged in the core of the divine realm, the primordial purple energy deep within his primordial spirit being slowly stripped away by a golden power of the law of transaction.

They saw Pan Xuan holding the Treasure-Dropping Coin, using the very essence of the laws of the entire divine realm as a bargaining chip, to conduct an unprecedented exchange of laws.

They saw the Primordial Purple Qi embedded in the core of the Divine Realm, merging with the independent law system of the Divine Realm, transforming into a permanent law node at the boundary between the Primordial World and Chaos.

He saw every single detail clearly from beginning to end.

But he couldn't stop it.

The fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation spun rapidly in front of him, and the runes of the Three Thousand Great Daos flashed wildly on the surface of the fragment.

He attempted to manipulate the laws of Heaven, trying to penetrate Di Jun's primordial spirit through the remaining restrictions in the Primordial Purple Qi.

However, the force that was penetrating in the opposite direction was blocked by the chaotic light of the illusory image of Pangu's true form as soon as it touched the edge of the Heavenly Dao space.

The phantom image of Pangu's true form, composed of the twelve ancestral witches and the three pure deities, is like an insurmountable dam.

His will was firmly locked in the core area, leaving no chance for it to penetrate outwards.

If they were in the primordial world, he could still exert influence on Di Jun by relying on the fragments of the Creation Jade Disc and his control over the Heavenly Dao.

Even if Di Jun hides deep within the Sun Star, even if Di Jun sets up numerous restrictions with the Hetu and Luoshu.

As long as the Primordial Purple Qi remains within Di Jun's body, he can indirectly interfere with Di Jun's will through the medium of the Heavenly Dao rules.

But this is chaos, and the scope of the laws of heaven ends here.

Although his will could perceive everything happening in the chaos through the primordial connection between the fragments of the Creation Jade Disc and the Primordial Purple Qi.

However, it could not penetrate the blockade of Pangu's true form and exert any substantial influence on the chaos.

He could only watch helplessly.

Watching Di Jun's Primordial Purple Qi being stripped away, and watching the restrictions within the Primordial Purple Qi being replaced.

Watching the cooperation between Di Jun and Pan Xuan move from initial probing to stability, and seeing his most carefully laid-out piece completely detached from the chessboard.

It seems that Di Jun, this chess piece, is about to be completely removed from his chessboard.

And the one who started all of this is still that person, Pan Xuan.

From the Three Pure Ones entering the divine path to the stripping away of the Primordial Purple Qi, from the opening of the Underworld to the establishment of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

From Pangu's funeral to the birth of the underground tunnel, Pan Xuan always made precise moves at the most crucial moments, removing the pieces he had laid out one by one.

But what truly unsettled Hongjun was not Dijun's departure itself, but the existence of those otherworldly gods in the chaos.

The Supreme God of Heaven was suppressed by the combined forces of Pangu's true form and Di Jun. His divine domain was replaced, and his original laws were stripped away. This ruler of chaos has completely withdrawn from the stage of the primordial world's power struggle.

But His destruction also exposed a far more profound problem.

There are four other rulers in the chaos.

The King of All Gods with Thunderous Divine Authority, the Pure Light of Creation, the One-Eyed King of Dark Gold Wisdom and the Laws of War, the Chaotic Cycle with Four Heads and Four Arms.

Adding to that the chaotic beings that have yet to appear, those that are more deeply dormant, or those that are even further removed from the primordial world, the total number of saint-level combatants in the entire chaos is probably far greater than his previous predictions.

These chaotic rulers lay dormant for countless years, never having had the opportunity to touch the primordial world.

But now, the fact that Pangu's true form and Dijun have joined forces to suppress the Heavenly Guardian God has caused too much of a commotion, and all the dormant beings in the chaos have probably been alerted.

In the coming prehistoric world, not only will they face the internal power struggle between the gods and the Heavenly Court, but they will also have to contend with these ever-present external enemies in the chaos.

Hongjun slowly closed his eyes, and the spinning speed of the fragments of the Creation Jade Disc in front of him gradually slowed down.

He knew he had to start looking for a way out.

He orchestrated the long and primordial era, taking the Three Pure Ones as his disciples and bestowing upon them the Primordial Purple Qi.

They supported Emperor Jun in establishing the Heavenly Court and appointed the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother as the heads of male and female immortals.

Every step was taken in order to control the Heavenly Dao and steal the fruits of Pangu's enlightenment.

That supreme Dao fruit, which opens up the world and transforms into all things.

Pangu created the primordial world at his own cost, and this achievement itself is the most immense foundation for proving the Dao.

If one could claim this achievement upon oneself and bring the primordial world created by Pangu under one's control.

He, Hongjun, was able to transcend the level of the Chaos Demon God and reach an unprecedented realm.

That was the supreme path that he could hardly reach even when he was the God of Destiny in the chaos.

But in reality, the illusory image of Pangu's true form firmly suppressed him within the core of the Heavenly Dao.

Pan Xuan used the divine system to continuously erode his weight in the laws of the Heavenly Dao.

Di Jun, his last pawn, has also slipped out of his control.

Continuing to remain in the Heavenly Path and fight to the death against the Divine Path, the chances of victory are becoming increasingly slim.

But if this path is blocked, he has another path.

Abandon the primordial wilderness and retreat to chaos.

He is an existence formed by the fusion of the remnant soul of the Destiny Demon God and the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

Although his roots lie in the primordial wilderness, his origins are inextricably linked to chaos.

Those rulers in the chaos.

What Zeus, God, Odin, and Brahma could do, Hongjun could do as well.

To establish a divine realm in the chaos, to use the divine realm as a foundation to condense the authority of laws and improve cultivation, and to peer into the primordial world to await the opportunity of the Pangu Dao Fruit.

This path is much longer and more difficult than stealing Pangu's Dao Fruit from within the Heavenly Dao.

For him, the Pangu Dao Fruit was readily available.

He was in the primordial wilderness, within the Dao of Heaven.

He only needs to seize Pangu's legacy for himself to rise to the top in one step.

A divine realm was established from chaos.

It requires creating new dimensions of laws from scratch, consolidating the core essence, and cultivating followers.

They need to face the covetousness and competition of other chaotic rulers, and they need to steadily advance step by step in the chaotic wilderness.

But this path offers more freedom.

He is not bound by the laws of gods or heaven.

In the chaos, he possesses no fewer resources than any other ruler of chaos.

He is a Primordial Limitless Golden Immortal, a saint of the Heavenly Dao realm.

In terms of cultivation level alone, he was a whole major realm higher than Di Jun.

If he hadn't voluntarily merged with the Dao, integrating his own will into the core of the Heavenly Dao, with his strength...

They will not be confined to the Heavenly Dao by Pan Xuan's use of the divine system and the illusory image of Pangu's true body.
