My classmates chose martial arts and fantasy, but I chose the prehistoric world.

Meng Family Manor.

Meng Chuan sat on the second-floor balcony with his eyes closed, his divine sense divided into four paths, each locking onto the location of one of the four registered disciples.

He originally planned to send them off with his divine sense as a final token of his respect as their teacher.

But soon, he realized something was wrong.

The teleportation had been underway for some time, but his four disciples remained stuck in the same spot...

None of them were teleported away!

"Um?"

Meng Chuan opened his eyes, his brows furrowing unconsciously.

His divine sense carefully scanned the physical condition of the four disciples—heartbeat, breathing, and fluctuations in magical power—and everything was normal.

It's clear they were indeed meditating on the primordial world...

But the teleportation didn't happen!

"What happened?"

Meng Chuan stood up, his gaze becoming serious.

"Could it be... that something happened in the primordial world... making it inaccessible?"

A thought couldn't help but flash through Meng Chuan's mind.

His expression also turned grim at the same time.

……

The internet quickly erupted in discussion.

"What happened? I heard that none of the people who chose the Primordial Era this year were teleported away?"

"Really? Even Master Meng Chuan's four disciples couldn't get in?"

"It's absolutely true! My cousin is at Yancheng No. 1 High School, and she said that Mr. Meng Chuan's disciple, Lin Wan'er, meditated countless times inside the teleportation array, but she just couldn't be teleported away!"

"I've heard about it too! And Mr. Meng Chuan's other three disciples are also going crazy with worry!"

"What...what's going on? Is something wrong with the primordial world?"

"Could it be because too many people went in last year and the year before, making the prehistoric world 'saturated'?"

"Do you think the primordial world is a parking lot? And it's already saturated!"

"Could something have happened in the primordial world that caused the interdimensional teleportation stone to be unable to connect to that world?"

"That's possible! After all, seventeen people went in before, and none of them came back last year, including Yan Qing, Mr. Meng Chuan's personal disciple... Maybe something big happened inside the Primordial World!"

……

Immediately, the internet was filled with all sorts of speculation and discussion.

Some were worried, some were relieved, some were sarcastic, and some secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, the fact that the prehistoric world is inaccessible means that no one will die in vain anymore.

But for the parents of those who have already been detained, this is undoubtedly a huge piece of bad news!

……

Meng Family Manor.

Meng Chuan sat on the balcony, his face terribly gloomy.

His four disciples had already sent him messages reporting their situations—they had indeed meditated on the primordial world, but they had not been teleported away.

He personally used his divine sense to investigate and confirmed that the four of them were not lying.

"The gates to the primordial world... have closed?"

Meng Chuan muttered to himself, his face dark and his eyes flickering.

The first person he thought of was his personal disciple, Yan Qing, who hadn't returned a year ago!

"Could it be... that something happened in the primordial world before Yan Qing was supposed to return, preventing her from coming back?"

His mind began to race, considering all sorts of possibilities.

"Was it Hongjun's dissatisfaction with Houtu becoming a supreme saint of the earth that sparked a great war that shattered the primordial world?"

The thought had barely crossed his mind when he quickly dismissed it.

"No... It's unlikely that Hongjun would do that. Once the primordial world is shattered and everything returns to chaos, he won't die, and neither will Houtu."

"Even if he tries every means to recreate the heavens and earth, and re-establish the earth, water, fire, and wind, Houtu will still be able to share the spoils with him. Doing so will not benefit him at all!"

"Is it because after the underground passage became independent, the primordial world underwent a transformation that made it impossible to enter or leave the primordial world using the interdimensional teleportation stone?"

"Or perhaps it's because... she gave the supreme human treasure, the 'Kongtong Seal,' to Yan Qing as I instructed, and in the process of helping Yan Qing become a saint, Hongjun objected, sparking a great war that shattered the primordial world?"

Thinking of this, Meng Chuan's gaze suddenly sharpened!

He did mention in his message to Houtu that if given the chance, he would also try to obtain the "Kongtong Seal," a supreme treasure of humanity that should be in Laozi's hands, and give it to Yan Qing.

Furthermore, let's see if, when the foundation of humanity is established, Yan Qing can become the supreme saint of humanity, sharing the power of the Great Dao of the Primordial World with Hongjun and Houtu!

In his view, if Yan Qing could become a saint, the laws she cultivated would inevitably lead to the attainment of the Primordial Chaos Realm...

When she returns to Earth, Earth is expected to produce its first Great Dao Saint, who will be the "Emperor" of this universe!

But if Houtu really did as he said, would Hongjun just sit idly by during the process?

Humanity, in the primordial universe, is also part of the Way of Heaven.

If Yan Qing becomes the Supreme Saint of Humanity, it means that Humanity will also become independent and compete with Heaven for the authority of the Primordial Great Dao...

Would Hongjun allow such a thing to happen?

"If Hongjun intervenes, Houtu will certainly not back down... If the two really fight, the prehistoric world could indeed be shattered..."

Meng Chuan's brows furrowed more and more tightly.

"Yan Qing...it's very likely that she didn't fail to return because she died instantly upon entering the prehistoric world."

"What exactly is the situation in the primordial world now?"

He stood up, walked to the edge of the balcony, and gazed at the dazzling starry sky in the distance.

Meanwhile, his four disciples, who were not formally appointed, were still at a loss on their respective school playgrounds.

"Leave the bone fragments I gave you, and then you can choose whichever world you want to go to... There must be something wrong with the Primordial World, which is why you can't enter it."

Meng Chuan transmitted his voice to them.

Upon hearing this, the four immediately spread their hands, and the bone fragments in their hands rose into the air, instantly transforming into four streaks of light that swept towards the Meng family manor and returned to Meng Chuan's hands.

Since they couldn't enter the prehistoric world, these four bone fragments were no longer of any use to the four of them.

If they are taken to another world, it would be fine if they can come back alive. But what if they can't come back alive? Wouldn't the bone fragments also stay in their target world forever?

This is something Meng Chuan cannot accept.

After all, that was one of the few things Houtu gave him!

After receiving their teacher's message, the four disciples, though disappointed, made a "new choice" after a brief period of consideration.

Without exception, they all chose the "Immortal Realm"!

When the four orange teleportation beams descended from the sky and landed on the playgrounds of the four city's No. 1 Middle Schools, another commotion broke out on the scene, and the internet erupted in excitement:

"All four chose the Immortal Realm?"

"What? Are you trying to pull a conspiracy theory again, saying this was all planned?"

"If I were them, I would also choose the Immortal Realm... The Demon Realm is ultimately too dangerous!"

"They dared to enter the Primordial Realm? Why would they be afraid of the Demon Realm?"

"That's different... In the Primordial World, Mr. Meng Chuan had a strategy guide. But in the Demon Realm... even a strategy guide is useless; it's a place where one proves their Dao through killing!"
