Transmigrating into Haotian, ruling the Three Pure Ones and pacifying the primordial world.

The Great Cataclysm?

The saints were startled, and Haotian asked in surprise, "What do you mean by that, Master?"

Could it be that Rahu has escaped and returned?

Even if he returns, he won't be a match for Master, will he?

The fact that Master could inquire about their strength, and that even someone at the seventh level of the Primordial Chaos Realm couldn't discern their true strength, clearly indicates that they have already broken through to a realm beyond the Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal.

"Is the great calamity that the Dao Ancestor spoke of Rahu?" Houtu asked hesitantly, her tone uncertain.

Hongjun shook his head: "Beyond the primordial wilderness."

"The Chaos Demon God?" Haotian's expression changed slightly. Only the Chaos Demon God could cause harm to the Primordial World.

A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the Three Pure Ones: Chaos Demon God!

"Is it newly born, or...?" Lao Tzu's tone was ambiguous.

"once."

The saints fell silent. The Three Pure Ones and Houtu's expressions darkened. They were once defeated by Pangu, the Father God!

That was indeed a great calamity in the primordial world. They were no match for the Father God, but they would show no mercy to the primordial world.

"How many people are like Master?" Haotian asked the most crucial question.

Hongjun sighed: "Five."

Zixiao Palace fell silent for a moment, all of them understanding the problem Dao Ancestor had before. Even so, the Primordial World could only offer three people.

"They recovered so quickly?" Haotian turned to look at Hongjun. "Even when Master was in charge of the Heavenly Dao, he only recovered to the realm above the Hunyuan Daluo. They must have perished, right?"

Hongjun remained calm. By now, all the sages should understand his former identity—the Chaos Demon God.

After all, how could the beings of the primordial world possibly possess the intact Jade Disc of Creation, and how could they possibly surpass the Three Pure Ones, who were transformed from the primordial spirit of Pangu, in terms of both opportunity and strength?

"We have indeed perished, but Pangu showed mercy. With Pangu's permission, we, Yangmei and I, were able to be born in the primordial world with new identities."

"The primordial world is the most complete world created by Pangu, bearing the three thousand laws, and is the most balanced heaven and earth."

"Now that the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man are all contained within it, you can see that!"

Hongjun slowly explained, "Some demon gods managed to escape with a wisp of their souls. Pangu, mindful of the countless years of chaos, did not exterminate them all. They either completely dissipated in the chaos or were reborn by chance."

"Pangu created the primordial world and proved his Dao, which was naturally regarded as the path forward by the Chaos God. However, I do not know whether he succeeded."

A look of doubt flashed across Hongjun's face. Pangu did indeed perish in the primordial world and transform into all things, but as the first among the Chaos Gods and the son of the Great Dao, holding three Chaos Treasures, how could he possibly perish directly?

"As for the other Chaos Gods, they also created worlds in the chaos. Because of their strength and their own laws, they fell into a deep sleep after creating the world, merging with heaven and earth."

"Their world is not as complete as the primordial world; it bears their mark everywhere. But as the world evolves, they will slowly awaken."

Haotian summarized it with the phrase: "Broad knowledge and refined expertise."

"Not bad." Hongjun nodded. "After you become saints, you will be able to create the Great Thousand Worlds at will, and the worlds will contain your marks. However, even if living beings are born in such worlds, they will not have the potential to become saints."

"Their creation of the world was nothing more than a means to heal their wounds or to advance further, but such a world cannot reach the highest level."

Haotian's tone was grave: "So, they set their sights on the primordial world?"

"Indeed, firstly, to seek revenge against Pangu, and secondly, for the sake of the primordial world." Hongjun sighed, "After all, the primordial world is where the flesh and blood of all the chaotic demons and gods are buried!"

If such profound knowledge could be absorbed by their world, it might be possible to glimpse the supreme realm of the ancient Pangu.

"So, the Demon God is the world?" Houtu asked with a sorrowful expression. "Then all living beings in the world will forever be their appendages?"

A look of compassion flashed in Nuwa's eyes: "The beings of those worlds can never control their own destiny."

Hongjun said solemnly, "You can regard them as the living Heavenly Dao."

He looked at Houtu and Haotian and said slowly, "You two are both masters of the Dao, and I am also in harmony with the Heavenly Dao. You should know that our relationship with the three Daos is more inclined towards equality."

"Only I have achieved the Dao Integration, so our relationship is closer, but I am not one with the Heavenly Dao."

"Those Chaos Gods are completely bound to the world. Everything in the world is in their eyes, but they have no interest in the lives of ants."

"And as the world becomes more integrated, their strength recovers faster."

The saints were heavy-hearted. The Dao Ancestor/Master had made it very clear that those people had essentially devoured the Heavenly Dao and become the Heavenly Dao with their own thoughts.

If the master/Dao Ancestor did the same...

When Jieyin and Zhunti raised their heads, they saw Hongjun's ambiguous smile. The two quickly lowered their heads.

"How could I do such a thing? I do owe Heaven a debt of karma, but if I were to use this to bind myself to the primordial world..." Hongjun chuckled, "How could my vision be so short-sighted?"

But Haotian's disciple...

Hongjun sighed inwardly. As the Primordial Heavenly Emperor, he had to protect the world, as he was the main cultivator of the Emperor's Law.

"Master must have already broken through, and with the help of the Heavenly Dao, he should be able to stop the two of you, right?" Haotian said in a deep voice.

"Okay." Hongjun nodded; he was confident in that much.

Haotian looked down at the Reincarnation Purple Lotus in his palm. He figured he could handle one of them, and there was one left…

His gaze swept across the faces of the saints: "Senior Brother, by utilizing the power of humanity, could you elevate yourself to the level of Hunyuan?"

Lao Tzu shook his head: "Difficult!"

Haotian looked troubled. Although his attack did not require him to control the Earth and Human Paths, he still had to rely on the power of the two Paths, which would definitely have an impact.

"We, the Three Pure Ones, still have a trump card!" Yuanshi said in a low voice, lowering his eyelids.

Laozi's expression changed slightly. That was just their reasoning; they'd never actually tried it...

"The primordial world was created by the Father God, and we must not tolerate outsiders destroying it!" Tongtian's words were resounding. He raised his head, his gaze firm. "If there is truly no other way, we can deal with the last one."

Hongjun looked curious, while Haotian looked surprised and doubtful. If such a method existed, why hadn't it been used before? Unless... there were significant limitations!

"If things cannot be done, then I will have to trouble my three senior brothers." Haotian paused and then agreed. "If all else fails, my eldest senior brother and senior sister Nuwa can jointly take charge of the human path. With the help of the three emperors, we should be able to unleash combat power above the Hunyuan level."

"Yes," Nuwa agreed without hesitation.

"As the Heavenly Emperor commands," the Three Sovereigns replied.

"As for the other fellow Daoists..." Haotian's expression suddenly changed, and he looked sharply at Hongjun, saying urgently, "Master, those worlds cannot possibly be without sages!"

Hongjun's expression darkened: "The Heavenly Dao is issuing a warning. I can only sense five worlds rushing towards the Primordial World, but I know nothing about the situation within those worlds."

"But every world will have at least one saint."

After all, when the creator god slumbers, there must be living beings who receive the favor of heaven and earth.

"A saint who receives the power of the entire world must have a very high cultivation level!" Haotian sighed. Jieyin, Zhunti, and the Three Sovereigns were all at the second level of the Hunyuan realm, while Zhenyuanzi was at the third level.

"Master, Senior Brother, I will begin my path to enlightenment as soon as I return." A fierce glint flashed between Yaochi's brows.

The primordial world has reached a critical moment; the more saints there are, the greater the chance of victory.

"There's no need to rush," Haotian shook his head, "We still have at least ten thousand years."

Hongjun added, "Don't damage your foundation. If things really come to that, a low-level saint will mean nothing!"

"We'll discuss it further," Haotian echoed. "But before that, the strength of the primordial world should be consolidated."
