The Holy Path of the Primordial World Shines Brightly

Chapter 28 Losing Myself and Falling into Depravity, the Chaos Bell Tolls!

The claim that the Great Luo is immortal and indestructible is no exaggeration.

They may not be strong in combat, but their survival ability is absolutely amazing!

Endless time and space, eternal freedom, one proof for all, one existence for all, this means something very terrifying—their incarnations are also infinite!

Even if one of them were killed, it wouldn't be a significant loss considering their peak combat power.

Pull over another avatar from a different node, replenish its depleted health bar, and it becomes another tanky and powerful hero.

Such a foul is enough to make any cultivator attempting to reverse the situation with a lower cultivation level despair—

How can you defeat a cheater with unlimited health and mana?

Of course, such a bug-like ability, and the transcendent authority inherent in Da Luo himself, is not something that can make one feel completely at ease.

When the opponent is also a Great Luo, and can easily kill the incarnation... then it's very dangerous!

Because the enemy occupies the same position and is spread throughout endless time and space, it can use this to launch the greatest war that spans the entire timeline, to try to lock down all the variables and possibilities of this Great Luo in the past, present and future, to destroy all resistance with absolute and overwhelming combat power, to cover up the trajectory of its life existence, to completely suppress it, to format its personal self-awareness, and in the end only to have a Dao Fruit remain and a bit of innate spiritual light remain.

If cognition disappears, even if the Dao fruit still exists, can it still be considered as living?

Unaware and unaware, they are driven to serve others, without having the slightest right to resist or refuse...

Even just thinking about it sends chills down my spine and makes my heart tremble.

At this moment, despair and disbelief rose faintly in the heart of the Great Luo Demon God, as if he could see his own tragic end.

Fortunately, a glimmer of hope always lingered in my heart, bringing me hope.

"I'm not without connections either."

Behind me lies the demon race's camp, about to emerge from the water...

"On this trip, I represent the collective will of the Demon Court's higher-ups... They shouldn't abandon me."

"I can still be saved!"

……

"Nothing is impossible," said Dijiang Zuwu indifferently, uttering words that were both truthful and utterly devastating. "How could you possibly understand my level?"

"You dare to challenge me? Do you really think we're both Great Luo Immortals, with cultivation levels on the same level, truly identical?" Di Jiang said calmly. "Great Luo Immortals represent infinite power, but within that infinite power, the foundations are different, resulting in vastly different combat strengths!"

The demon god is a Great Luo, possessing boundless power.

But Dijiang is even stronger than him!

How can two to the power of infinity compete with ten thousand to the power of infinity in terms of instantaneous power?

Both are the convergence of endless spacetime power. A single moment in time can generate magical power equivalent to one's own body. When it encounters an extremely powerful being who can control one's thoughts and breath, it is destined to end in tragedy.

The reason why both are classified as Great Luo is simply because the underlying principles are the same, which is why they are placed on the same cultivation level.

But the pitfalls here... are infinitely deep!

The Great Luo Demon God understood Dijiang Ancestral Witch's words, and a bitter smile appeared on his face as he pulled his body, which had descended from another point in time.

—How could he possibly be qualified to peer into the eyes of such an extremely powerful being?

Only the four great emperors and ten great demon generals of the demon race should be present, as they have the ability and qualifications to discuss and compete!

He came here only to be sent to his death.

"It seems you are fully aware of your situation." Dijiang glanced at him. "Good, then you'll die knowing the truth, without too many regrets."

"Let's set off!"

He stretched out a hand.

This hand did not strike the Great Luo Demon God, but instead disappeared into the flow of time.

He launched an offensive spanning the entire timeline, engaging in the ultimate clash of the essence of the Great Luo.

At that very moment, the Demon God most directly perceived the gap between the two sides.

If we consider it as a Great Luo, a Great Luo who transcends the timeline, its entire existence is like a worm clinging to the timeline... Of course, as a great supernatural being, it is much larger than a worm, as thick as a python.

But right now, the Dijiang Ancestral Witch that has emerged from the river of time is a divine dragon that can soar to the heavens!

The size of their bodies is a contest of the power that both sides can generate within the same time scale, representing a world of difference between them.

Now, the dragon stared coldly, and then—pounced down!

In an instant, a fierce battle erupted within the span of time.

No, it couldn't be called a battle at all; it was a one-sided massacre and... an escape.

Throughout the primordial and eternal timeline, countless figures of this demon god have been slain in the past and future... Even though it is constantly reborn and frantically fleeing, it cannot escape this fate.

Incarnate in countless forms, humble yourself, and hide in the ever-changing variables of life and death?

useless!

They're all Great Luo Immortals, they're all eternally free in endless time and space, who isn't a cheater?

Each time he slayed an incarnation of a demon god, the Ancestral Witch Dijiang invaded the hidden information belonging to this Great Luo, which was the individual's growth trajectory.

A thousand times, ten thousand times... the confrontations that took place in the river of time distorted the spacetime of the battlefield, cutting it out of the normal order of the primordial world.

When the Ancestral Witch's goal was achieved and countless opponents were slain, this fragmented period of time was seamlessly reconnected to its original timeline.

Then, the attack stopped.

However, Da Luo, who easily communicated with his avatar through the innate immortal spiritual light and recovered to an unharmed state, showed no happiness or joy on his face, only a sense of sorrow.

Because he knew that he had been completely blocked by Dijiang throughout the entire timeline.

The most terrifying and enormous shadow loomed over his life's trajectory, leaving him with nowhere to go and nowhere to escape.

"I have lost... I will perish..."

Sensing the invisible shackles binding him, looking back on his life's journey, he realized that a faint, intangible black hand had appeared out of nowhere... This Great Luo Demon God seemed to be neither crying nor laughing, his expression was very strange.

"The Great Luo has lost me... the Great Luo has lost me!"

He was lamenting.

The formation of any individual's worldview, outlook on life, and other values ​​originates from the information interaction between living beings and the outside world.

That kind of interaction can be visual, auditory, olfactory, gustatory, or even the impact and assimilation of external information, leaving a mark on the mind and spirit.

In any case, an individual's values ​​and perceptions cannot be formed independently without the influence of their environment.

This is a more subtle and profound interpretation of the principle of the unity of man and nature.

So...

If one can grasp all the external information that will affect the target being, one can control all of its cognition in a targeted manner.

This is more terrifying than any forced conversion or supernatural power—because it alters the very source of history.

Changing history, resetting the life of a great immortal, and formatting his values ​​and perceptions... the most terrifying method!

Many of the innate saints and ancient supreme beings watching the battle felt a chill run through them at this moment.

"Although the Great Luo transcends time, and once attained, it is eternal, pervading the past, present, and future, without the fear of perishing, standing at the end of the Great Dao," one of the three figures surrounded by pure energy spoke on Mount Kunlun, "but our true self-consciousness is formed and forged during our long cultivation, before attaining the Dao..."

"This fellow Daoist's past trajectory has been completely locked, his roots have been found, and his life's growth trajectory can be arbitrarily altered... If he does not want to be forged into an incarnation by the Ancestral Witch Dijiang, he can only sever all his past cognitions and emotions in order to cope."

"But if one is worn down in this way, one will lose oneself... In the end, one will lose one's humanity and only retain one's Tao."

"The Great Way is without heart or emotion, indifferent to gain or loss, unaffected by external changes, its own circumstances, or whether it is arbitrarily whipped or manipulated by its opponents or enemies...like a stubborn rock."

"Then it becomes a primordial spiritual treasure!"

"How tragic! How lamentable!" said Lingbao Tianzun. "At the very beginning, a fellow Daoist has already fallen. In the end, how many Great Luo Immortals will be buried in this great calamity of the Lich King, and how many Innate Spiritual Treasures will be added to the world?"

"Alas..." Yuanshi and Daode sighed simultaneously, lamenting the cruelty of the calamity, but they did not intervene much to stop Dijiang Zuwu from launching the final annihilation attack.

"Huh?" The Celestial Venerable of Morality raised his white eyebrows slightly, suddenly looking at the ancient starry sky where the stars swirled and rotated, and let out a soft exclamation.

At that very moment, a bell rang!

"when!"

The clear, melodious sound of the bell echoed throughout the entire primordial world.

Its ripples shook the vast, flowing river of time, causing everything to become chaotic.

"The Chaos Bell!"

Countless powerful beings in the world paled and cried out the source of the bell's sound.

One of the three innate treasures transformed from the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe—the Chaos Bell!

The bell tolls loudly, the universe shines brightly, the heavens and earth lose their color, and the universe trembles... Five-colored rays of light illuminate the heavens, and the holy might of chaos shakes the world!

This bell can reverse the time and space of all heavens, can evolve the mysteries of the heavenly way, and can refine earth, water, fire, and wind; its ferocity is boundless!

The moment it appeared, it suppressed the fate of that Great Luo Demon God, preventing him from having his consciousness consumed by Dijiang and from losing himself and sinking into depravity.

"Your Majesty!" The Great Luo Demon God was overjoyed. Hearing the bell, he knew who was rescuing him.

"Taiyi." Dijiang looked up at the ancient bell that suddenly appeared in the starry sky, uttering a sacred title, his gaze gradually becoming deep.

"Dijiang." In the starry sky, a dazzling deity, radiating boundless light and brilliance, stood tall. "The Witch and Demon races... now is not the time for war. How about we cease hostilities?"

Donghuang!

Taiyi!

The appearance of this powerful and extraordinary demon emperor has made the course of the battlefield unpredictable.

However, what no one could see was... a hint of helplessness and sorrow in the emperor's eyes.

……

Let's turn back time a little bit.

"It's obvious... Qiongyou Demon God is no match for Dijiang. If we continue fighting, I risk falling into the abyss."

In a hidden space-time, divine thoughts crisscross, transmitting information and exchanging opinions.

"Someone needs to step in and save him," someone transmitted telepathically. "Otherwise, if he dies, it will be a huge blow to our morale... And once the Heavenly Court is officially established, how can we suppress all the races and merge them into one—the Demon Race?"

"But Dijiang is too powerful!" someone else said. "He's a top-tier expert; who dares to challenge him lightly?"

"Heh... Dijiang may be powerful, but our camp is not without its own outstanding experts!"

"Quickly go to Phoenix Perch Mountain and ask the Great Sage Fuxi for help!"

"We can't invite him... The Great Sage Fuxi is tied up by the Time Ancestral Witch and can't spare any attention. We can't even contact him now."

"Then, what about the Great Sage Nuwa?"

"The Great Sage Nuwa? That's someone I can contact." A deity replied quickly. "I already sent a signal, but her reply... her reply, uh!"

"What's wrong? Why are you hesitating?" The figure manifested by divine sense beside her asked in confusion. "What did the Great Sage Nuwa reply with? Please speak freely."

"She's on her way, riding a phoenix!"

Upon hearing this, the entire space and time fell silent.

Countless great immortals and countless demon gods remained silent.

"Okay... alright!" After a long while, someone finally sighed, "Unexpected, but also reasonable."

"After all, this person's identity is complex. He is not only the emperor of the Heavenly Court, but also the founder and major shareholder of the future human race."

"She's betting on both sides; she'll profit handsomely whichever side wins. Her ambiguous attitude is understandable, very understandable." She naturally shifted the topic away from Nuwa, saying, "My fellow demon generals, I would like to request that you go..."

"We can't leave." A powerful voice rang out, and a demon god with a dragon's head, human body, bird claws, and feathers on his arms shook his head. His name was Ji Meng. "At the foot of Buzhou Mountain, the aura of several ancestral witches is surging, locking onto us."

"If we move, they will follow suit, and we won't be able to get support."

"Is the Witch Clan going to wage war against us?" someone said coldly. "Such arrogance is outrageous; they've gone too far in defying the gods!"

"Our demon race is not yet fully prepared. We have only just gathered our core forces together, and the overall framework is still unclear," Bai Ze, the demon general known for his wisdom, said softly. "The witch race, on the other hand, has already planned out its upper and lower levels, is well-organized, and has the ability to take the initiative to start a war."

"So, if war breaks out, we'll be at a great disadvantage?" A deity, radiating boundless solar brilliance from its core, spoke.

"Yes." Bai Ze nodded, then suddenly smiled, calming his comrades' worries. "Of course, they wouldn't dare to easily launch a large-scale conflict; at most, it would be limited to individual confrontations."

"After all, they still have a formidable enemy!"

"Hongjun's existence, with its undisguised attitude, aims to gain prestige second only to Pangu in the name of enlightening all living beings... and Pangu will not jump out to compete with him for the throne, so he is the rightful supreme ruler."

"This is something the Ancestral Witches did not want to see, and Hongjun also disliked the Ancestral Witches—Pangu's essence and blood took human form, and as the eldest son, he had a natural right to inherit."

"Hongjun is waiting for the Ancestral Witches to make a mistake... So as long as the Witch Clan still has reason, even if they have the ability to start a great calamity, they will not take the initiative to start a war now."

"First, we need to restrain Hongjun and kick him out of the arena so that he has no energy to attend to other matters before he can focus on fighting us."

"Otherwise, even if they defeat us, how can they face the punishment that Hongjun brings down under the banner of upholding the righteous cause of all living beings and curbing the ancestral witches' wanton slaughter of living beings?"

P.S.: The cover was designed by me through the author's assistant; it was quite a challenge to find a suitable one. As for the group, I'll create it when the book is published.
