Pacing footsteps echoed.

Ju Xiao stood up, his expression extremely solemn, walking back and forth in the room. Now, all doubts and questions had vanished instantly. Because it had already happened in reality, and he was ultimately an extremely rational person, he quickly suppressed his shock. What he needed to consider was how to respond to the unfolding crisis.

He carefully organized his thoughts, his expression becoming utterly serious. "I can't believe all that was true.... And according to the described history, after being destroyed, it has now resurfaced... What I'm seeing now must be the re-establishment of the Buddhist sect, teaching disciples...." He mused, "This is their conflict, but it seems to involve us...."

Buddhist and Daoist disciples were frantically recruiting, meaning the Fallen Civilization would inevitably bear the brunt. Based on the current situation, those enlightened ones who rushed back to the hidden branch to hand over their tasks had all fallen, transforming into Buddhist adherents.

"Buddha...""Buddha!""The Buddhist sect, calculating past and future..."He murmured this term for a civilization system he had never encountered before. He found it incredibly bizarre; he had never heard of or even seen such an existence in any ancient civilization ruins. "Given this situation... this will be an even more evil and bizarre civilization than our Fallen Civilization... even stronger than the Abyssal Blue Divine Domain!"

He stood up and flew directly to his Lord's palace, intending to report the matter. "Your clone is destroyed, your mission has failed, and you are severely injured..." As soon as he entered, a misty white fog enveloped the area, and a voice echoed from the ethereal space.

Ju Xiao quickly bowed his head and said, "My Lord, although I lost my clone, I obtained crucial intelligence."

The voice fell silent for a moment, then said, "Your clone originated from the Cave Shadow Civilization ruins, and it's exceptionally well-hidden. It can only be detected if it secretly approaches a weak Tenth-tier being who has embarked on the ultimate grand path, a majestic cosmic entity that creates laws... Are you saying you approached such an entity and overheard something?"

"Yes," Ju Xiao quickly replied.

"Oh? Interesting. Tell me about it."

Ju Xiao quickly disclosed what he had witnessed.

The ethereal voice fell completely silent, remaining so for a long time before a faint response emerged. It murmured, "How... how can such an evil bloodline system exist in this world?""To think that the elemental ruins spawned a branch long ago, a semi-elemental Mother River Civilization?""Generally, unimaginably powerful bloodlines attract countless covetous individuals desperate to integrate into them, while powerful civilizations typically shield their bloodlines, preventing their system from leaking out... But they are different.... This extremely powerful bloodline actively encourages others to learn it....""Even if you don't volunteer, they forcibly integrate you into their powerful bloodline... making you their disciple, cultivating their evil system....""Infection, spread, destruction of everything...."This entity closed its eyes, calculating the future of this peculiar system. "Buddhism, Daoism... If Buddhism is so strange and powerful, what about the Daoist sect, which stands alongside it?" the entity suddenly asked.

"I do not know," Ju Xiao replied. "They didn't discuss that system.... But if it can stand alongside Buddhism, it probably possesses immense power, though I don't know why it hasn't revealed itself."

In the players' words, the Daoist sect cultivates True Qi, vital energy, and the most powerful Pangu True Body, along with the Nine-Turn Mystic Art. However, the Nine-Turn Mystic Art was still accumulating. Furthermore, it had no intention of revealing its true form, intending to remain hidden for a while. And the Three Pillar Gods' significant actions were entirely at his own initiative.

The entity mused deeply, whispering, "I need to go to the alliance for a meeting; this matter is far too significant."

"Yes." Ju Xiao quickly bowed his head.

A moment later, the entity's voice came, "Orders from above state that, based on your intelligence, the enemy is extremely powerful and will be fully besieged."

"Fully besieged?" Ju Xiao was startled. "Wouldn't that mean an open conflict? Their system is enigmatic and unimaginably powerful, and they also have a weak Tenth-tier Supreme Celestial Venerable..."

"Besiege them directly," the entity said. "Appearing weak only makes one seem easily bullied. First, establish our dignity by fighting, observe the battle situation and the enemy's true strength, then decide how to proceed."

At this very moment.

Elements gently shimmered. A vibrant, rainbow-colored ocean of elements flowed across the entire crystal diamond street. Di Qi opened his eyes, looking at everything before him—Dao Jun and a group of semi-elemental beings—and said, "There's no longer any need to go back..."

"Why?" Dao Jun chuckled, seemingly respecting any choice Di Qi made. "Don't you value bloodlines? Innate Ancient Gods value pure blood above all else. In fact, you sacrificed so much back then for the continuation of your race."

"Bloodlines, huh..." Di Qi seemed to see into the distant past, as if returning to the very beginning. At this moment, he adopted the persona of an ordinary being and softly said, "Long ago, I observed the grand cosmic situation and discovered that the Innate Ancient God Heavenly Court was destined for destruction. At that time, I had a premonition: with the opening of the Sea of Consciousness system, the Innate Gods would no longer be unique, and postnatal beings were bound to replace them... The Great Tribulation of Ancient Gods was approaching, and no Ancient God in heaven and earth could escape this calamity."

"Thus, I transformed into a woodcutter, the first Great Emperor of the Witch Clan in existence, organizing postnatal beings to personally overthrow the rule of the Ancient Gods, overthrowing my own rule... establishing a Heavenly Court for postnatal beings, and simultaneously protecting the remaining ancient clans to ensure the continuation of their bloodlines.... This was the only thing I could do."

"One reason I became the Postnatal Witch Clan's Great Emperor was to lead the ancient clans to escape this tribulation and continue their bloodlines," Di Qi said calmly. "The scheming, the seizing of power—everything, even now, seems incredibly brilliant."

"Back then, the flourishing era of the Ancient Gods and their rule over the world was extremely important to you... So why?" Dao Jun asked softly.

"Now, that's no longer important," Di Qi said softly.

"You've changed." Dao Jun smiled, "It seems I still hold the impression of you from ten thousand years ago, when you were the Great Emperor of the Innate Ancient Gods and the Ancestral Witch Great Emperor Long Hong of the Ancestral Witch Heavenly Court, residing in Da Luotian."

"Yes, I've changed. I was changed by one person."

Di Qi said, "Dao Jun... you must know what I intended to do back then.... I emerged from Da Luotian, planning to slaughter all mortal beings to break through to godhood. A few hundred years of enjoyment were enough for those mortals. Once I ascended to godhood, I would use overwhelming divine power to restore the entire Innate Ancient God Heavenly Court."

"Ancestor Xu Younian, that terrifying man, merely used the great trends of the era to obstruct me. At that time, the Great Tribulation of Ancient Gods was unstoppable, and none of us could escape the disaster. So, I allowed my clan to be annihilated, took residence in the new Ancestral Witch Heavenly Court, let it rot and disintegrate from within, and then I would simply recreate a new era of Ancient Gods. Those laughable mortals, those ants, those postnatal beings...." Di Qi revealed a cold smile. "They delusionally attempted to overthrow the rule of the Innate Ancient Gods, to replace the sun and moon with themselves, to wield divine authority over heaven and earth? Utterly absurd."

Beside him, the surviving members of the semi-elemental race wore expressions of pride. Yes, wanted to replace the rule of the semi-elemental race? Simply ridiculous.

Meanwhile, the players nearby were slightly silent. They had witnessed the situation back then, knowing that when they emerged from Da Luotian, the Ancestral Witches would become gods and annihilate the world, but they hadn't realized the depth of it. This was, in fact, a conspiracy planned by Di Qi centuries ago. This vaguely gave a sense of historical truth being brought to light. Di Qi, for the sake of his entire race, had hidden as a mastermind behind the scenes, undoubtedly a highly competent progenitor of his kind... Innate Ancient Gods naturally viewed mortal beings as ants. So now, if his own ancestral generation came looking for him, would he...? The players became completely anxious.

Di Qi smiled and continued speaking to Dao Jun, as if reminiscing about a long-lost past, their conversation from the start having been a review of everything from back then. "When I walked out of Da Luotian, I saw a youth with eyes clearer than any I had ever seen, kneeling before our Da Luotian, pleading with us, the eleven Ancestral Witches, to return. Those eyes were clearer than ever before. That was also the closest I had ever come to death in my life. An ignorant youth, less than a tenth of my age, was actually able to almost kill me. A mere postnatal being, it was unbelievable. He was too pure; he had not a single trace of impurity."

"During the hundred years I spent fleeing back to Da Luotian, I completely changed. I buried myself in deep thought, wondering why I had lost. My opponent was only a tenth of my age, and still a ridiculously postnatal being... It was then that I first realized I was too arrogant. I had been at the pinnacle since birth, mastering any cultivation technique instantly, and my intelligence and schemes were unparalleled. I had schemed against Da Luotian, against Xu Younian, against the Ancestral Witches, seizing the Ancestral Witch Heavenly Court.... My thoughts were too cluttered. In that hundred years, I completely awakened. I knew that if I didn't change, I would surely die. So I began to learn the Nine-Turn Mystic Art, started abandoning all calculations and schemes, and fought a true battle against Dao Changsheng."

"So, you learned his cultivation method?" Dao Jun asked with a smile.

"I learned his cultivation method, and I also learned his Dao heart," Di Qi said vaguely, yet continued recounting the history of that time: "For a hundred years, I single-mindedly devoted myself to meticulously studying the Nine-Turn Mystic Art. Unbelievably, I grew more than ten times stronger. It was the first time I realized just how powerful I truly was. Having never encountered a worthy opponent before, only then did I understand how terrifying my limits could be..."

"Dao Changsheng also advanced the Nine-Turn Mystic Art, becoming more than ten times stronger. We then engaged in the most intense battle of our lives, a battle that, even now, feels like a dream..." His eyes seemed to hold both yearning and reminiscence.

"So?"

"I learned his Dao heart. Even to this day, he remains the man who casts the greatest shadow over me. Day and night, I often see that youth with clear eyes... If he hadn't used his last remaining strength to prop up the heavens in that final moment, I would have died long ago. I owe him my life... and he used that life to support the sky of that world."

"I understand you." Dao Jun said no more, simply smiled, turned around, and looked at Moon God Ji. "Ancestor, we have finished our discussion. I did my best."

"As it should be," Moon God Ji said, not appearing angry.

Caroline, from a distance, let out a complete sigh of relief. Dao Changsheng? The ancient Dao Heavenly Emperor, one of the strongest men in history. Di Qi had indeed completely integrated into the entire Primordial World. He was the oldest deity in this world, and had developed deep emotions. Simply put: because of Dao Changsheng, he owed the Primordial World a life. When Dao Changsheng sacrificed his life, using his Pangu True Body to support the sky of the entire Primordial World, it created a lifelong unforgettable impact on Di Qi at that time... Such complex emotions were difficult to articulate.

"Dao Changsheng, standing before Da Luotian back then, with those pure, clear eyes and that childlike innocence, had a transformative impact on Di Qi's lifelong philosophy... no less than the impact Mr. Levis of the ancient Lava Domain had on me and my life's philosophy." Caroline sighed with emotion, as if witnessing the ancient history of the entire Primordial Era. "That land held immense significance for him... 'Blue sky, red sun, all just for one phrase: Dao Changsheng!'"

Dao Jin, Changsheng. Now, thinking about it, what they were currently pursuing seemed to have a new, distinct meaning.
