Investiture of the Gods: I am Bigan, the Master of Conspiracy

Chapter 238 The Return of Hunyuan, Everyone's Stunned!

In the pure white land of creation, Yin Ziyu's undying inner light suddenly expanded, and countless origins of the Great Dao surged toward the core of the inner light like a tide.

That origin is not a single attribute, but encompasses the essence of all the myriad paths of the primordial world. It contains the primordial purple energy at the beginning of chaos, the violent energy of earth, water, fire and wind, the marks of time in the long river of time, and the ultimate nothingness of the land of annihilation.

Under the guidance of Yin Ziyu's will, these origins gradually condensed into a human-shaped outline, and finally took shape in the land of creation of the Great Dao Origin.

At this moment, Yin Ziyu's true form seemed both illusory and real, completely different from his previous form.

The original body had long since been transformed into its origin and returned to the primordial world during the divine punishment.

My current true self is entirely formed from my original mind; this is my true self!
As the last wisp of primordial energy flowed into his brow, Yin Ziyu slowly opened his eyes. There were no more stars turning in his eyes, only a clear brilliance reflecting all things.

At this moment, Yin Ziyu stood tall and straight, with no trace of his aura escaping from his body, yet he seemed to be one with the entire Great Dao.

"Om-"

With the transformation complete, the shackles of the Heavenly Dao that had bound countless powerful beings had long since vanished without a trace.

A sense of transcendence arose from the depths of his heart, instantly propelling Yin Ziyu into an unprecedented realm: the realm of transcendence, also known as the realm of primordial chaos.

However, it is different from the Hunyuan that Jiufeng attained. The Hunyuan that Jiufeng attained was similar to the Hunyuan of Chaos Gods and Demons, while Yin Ziyu's Hunyuan was a transcendence of the true self.

They may share the same level of understanding, but their core principles are different!
Jiufeng originally cultivated the path of gods and demons, and then broke through the shackles to come before the creation of the world. Before the creation of the world, there were no shackles of the Heavenly Dao, so it is not surprising that he became a Hunyuan. It would be surprising if he could not become a Hunyuan.

Yin Ziyu, on the other hand, has forged his own path, taking the mysterious and profound self as its foundation to ultimately achieve transcendence. Since it is transcendence, it transcends the concept of everything existing within it.

Standing in a state of transcendence, Yin Ziyu's gaze pierced through the barriers of time and space, taking in the past and future of the entire prehistoric world.

Yin Ziyu saw the river of time rushing through countless eons, and eventually it would come to an immeasurable calamity. Everything would be swept into this ultimate place of annihilation, and then all of them would become the origin of the Great Dao. At that time, the Great Dao would awaken, and a new Pangu would be born here again.

Everything returned to the original point where Pangu created the world, and then repeated itself along a similar trajectory.

"So... Pangu creating the world has happened countless times before."

When Jiufeng met Pangu, Pangu exclaimed that Jiufeng was the only person in countless eras to have reached this place, and that she was actually his descendant. Pangu was happy.

In other words, Pangu knew about this game and that he had created the world countless times, but he still did it anyway. When he met Jiufeng, Pangu was amazed.

She also warned the Great Dao that this was her own journey from the future, her only chance of survival, and that denying her was tantamount to denying the existence of her own chance of survival.

Without attaining the Dao and realizing the Primordial Chaos, one cannot know these secrets.

Only after attaining the Primordial Chaos can one see these things and be able to make changes.

In the cycle of reincarnation that Yin Ziyu saw, things did not proceed as they were in the present primordial world. There would be countless changes. The creation of the world was the same, but the evolution after the creation of the world was different.

In some eras, Rahu did not perish, but instead devoured all paths and attained Hunyuan. In some eras of reincarnation, Laozi did not convert barbarians to Buddhism, but instead assimilated the Heavenly Dao with the foundation of human teachings.

In some cycles, the Lich King and the Demon King never went to war. Nuwa protected the human race and established the way of humanity. The human race had already dominated the prehistoric world in ancient times.

No matter how the process deviates, the destination remains unchanged. The vortex of the void devours everything, the land of annihilation returns to nothingness, and then life is reborn in the nothingness, starting a new cycle.

However, the current prehistoric world is not unique; that is to say, countless combinations will appear, but everything in the current prehistoric world will still repeat itself.

"The evolution of the primordial world is nothing more than the countless permutations and combinations of the Great Dao's origin."

After attaining enlightenment, Yin Ziyu looked at all of this and suddenly smiled.

All past obsessions, struggles, and resentments vanished at this moment.

I once thought that going against the heavens would break my destiny, but I didn't know that even going against the heavens might be part of the cycle of reincarnation.

"Everyone is struggling, including Pangu, Hongjun, and the Sages, but none of them can escape this cycle of reincarnation and repetition. Jiufeng has succeeded now, but although Jiufeng has attained the Dao of Hunyuan, she is still unable to escape the great cycle of chaos. If she wants to survive, she still needs to find a real glimmer of hope. However, since we have come to the place of origin, we should cherish this place and make some changes for the future of the prehistoric world!"

This profound understanding of the ultimate truth brought about a complete transformation in Yin Ziyu's state of mind.

Transcend the state of mind, and you will achieve fulfillment.

The moment his state of mind completely aligned with the origin of the Great Dao, the surrounding power of creation seemed to have found its home and surged wildly into his body.

The Primordial Chaos Realm, which had once taken countless Quasi-Saints to exhaust their efforts to reach, was now being reached as easily as taking candy from a baby.

Countless Dao principles and proverbs appeared around him, but then instantly disappeared back into his body, as if they had never existed.

Looking at the boundless source, Yin Ziyu realized that he was unable to bring it out at all. Faced with this situation, Yin Ziyu pondered for a moment.

"Since it cannot be brought out, I should let it evolve into an object and bring it out. The Great Dao has not yet awakened, and it is still a long time before the Great Dao awakens. It will not awaken until the immeasurable calamity. Therefore, I should be the one to change this era."

"World Tree, emerge!"

In the blink of an eye, the immense power of the Great Dao began to gather and take shape at the very moment Yin Ziyu thought.

A towering World Tree materialized before him.

The World Tree has an incredibly thick trunk, seemingly capable of supporting all things in heaven and earth. Countless branches extend in all directions, with lush and verdant foliage. Each leaf shimmers with profound Daoist runes, radiating a rich vitality and Daoist wisdom.

As soon as the World Tree appeared, it emitted a powerful suction force, continuously drawing in the surrounding power of creation, making it increasingly solid.

Yin Ziyu stretched out his hand, and the World Tree transformed into a stream of light, falling into his hand and turning into a small and exquisite sapling, lying quietly in his palm, yet still exuding an aura that could shake heaven and earth.

Yin Ziyu looked down at the World Tree in his hand and slowly said, "Let this tree replace the collapsed Buzhou Mountain. When Buzhou Mountain collapsed, the innate spiritual energy disappeared. This tree will completely stabilize the prehistoric world and repay the karma I owe to the prehistoric world and all living beings."

The existence of Mount Buzhou is the foundation of the primordial world.

Mount Buzhou was formed from the spine of Pangu after he separated heaven and earth and evolved the primordial world.

This colossal mountain, spanning the heavens and the earth, is like the spine of a person in the primordial world, bearing the flow of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, much like the Ren and Du meridians. Countless innate spiritual energy veins extend outwards from Mount Buzhou, like veins, maintaining the circulation of spiritual energy throughout the entire world.

Although Pangu has transformed into all things, Mount Buzhou still retains the breathing rhythm of Pangu breathing in and out the chaotic spiritual energy.

The summit of Buzhou Mountain stands on the edge of chaos, breathing out violent chaotic energy. This chaotic energy, transformed by Pangu within the mountain, had its destructive power removed and transformed into incomparably pure innate spiritual energy. This energy then flows along the spiritual veins into the earth's network of veins, eventually surging like rivers to every corner of the primordial world, nourishing the growth of all things.

It should be understood that converting chaotic spiritual energy is almost impossible, because chaotic gods and demons are born with the ability to absorb and exhale chaotic spiritual energy; it is their instinct.

Just like humans inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide.

Pangu, on the other hand, swallowed the chaotic spiritual energy and exhaled the innate spiritual energy. For the chaotic gods and demons, the energy of the innate spiritual energy was too low.

The chaotic turbid energy that Buzhou Mountain absorbed and transformed during the process of absorbing chaotic spiritual energy settled down like sand, seeping into the depths of the earth and enriching its foundation day by day. In the process of sedimentation, it also gave birth to countless immortal metals and immortal ores, which became the foundation for cultivators in the prehistoric world to forge weapons and treasures.

This is why the collapse of Mount Buzhou plunged the prehistoric world into an irrecoverable crisis. The channels for the transformation of chaotic energy were severed, the source of innate spiritual energy suddenly dried up, and the originally balanced network of spiritual veins was completely disrupted.

As the spiritual energy between heaven and earth gradually thins, cultivators find it increasingly difficult to progress; the earth, deprived of the nourishment of impure energy, ceases to grow in thickness, and the birth of immortal gold and immortal ore has almost come to a standstill. Now, Yin Ziyu's method of change is to use the World Tree, which is formed from the origin of the Great Dao, to forge a new path that replaces Buzhou Mountain.

If Mount Buzhou is the furnace for transforming the chaotic energy, then the World Tree is the photosynthetic spiritual root of the primordial world.

The World Tree is actually a Chaos Spiritual Root, existing by absorbing chaotic spiritual energy. Its sky-covering branches and leaves are like countless nimble hands, reaching directly into the chaos to absorb the chaotic spiritual energy.

These spiritual energies, refined by the Great Dao runes within the World Tree, transformed into something even more powerful than innate spiritual energy. They flowed into the earth's veins through the thick main root, and then spread to every inch of the primordial land through countless branch roots, like capillaries.

The World Tree does not rely on Pangu's body; instead, it uses its own branches and leaves as lungs and its root system as a conduit to form a self-sufficient spiritual energy cycle.

The leaves absorb the chaotic spiritual energy, the trunk purifies and transforms it, and the root system delivers nourishment, allowing the innate spiritual energy to be replenished in the primordial world, completely making up for the hidden dangers left after the collapse of Buzhou Mountain, and maintaining the spiritual balance of the primordial world in a completely new way.

Although the Three Realms of the Primordial World have a source, it is different from the innate spiritual energy. The source is the origin of creation, which is the foundation of the existence of the three races that created the world. After the innate source disappeared, the servant races became the demon race.

The innate origin is finite; the chaotic spiritual energy cannot be purified, which is the purest primordial force at the beginning of creation, while the innate spiritual energy is inexhaustible.

The primordial origin descended to earth to prevent the formation of humanity; once its use is complete, the Heavenly Way will inevitably reclaim it.

Therefore, the source is non-renewable and does not need to be cared about too much. It is something that is destined to be taken back, and even if it is not taken back, it will be consumed. It does not have long-term value, while innate spiritual energy can truly be inexhaustible.

After some thought, Yin Ziyu continued to rely on the origin of the Great Dao to conjure other treasures. However, Yin Ziyu discovered that he could no longer utilize too much of the origin.

"There's still one more chance. Oh well, it's all predetermined by the Great Dao. I can't be too greedy and let the Great Dao awaken prematurely!"

The Great Dao is currently dormant, not dead. If it is too reckless, it will only lead to self-destruction. Even Yin Ziyu does not know where the trigger point for the Great Dao to awaken is.

Or perhaps he had already awakened, but because Yin Ziyu was the one who truly broke into this place and was also a glimmer of hope, they didn't stop him.

If one plays with fire out of greed and gets burned, then it truly is a case of extreme joy turning into sorrow.

With this as his last chance, Yin Ziyu pondered for a moment and immediately began to evolve the final item.

At this moment, the sounds of battle cries echoed through the heavens in Chaoge Immortal City.

Zhuanxu stood before the army of the three religions, waved his command flag, and shouted sternly: "All soldiers, listen to my command! Break through Chaoge, kill the traitors, and restore the righteous path of our human race!"

The armies of the Chan Sect, the Ren Sect, and Buddhism surged toward Chaoge City like a tidal wave.

Emperor Xin, clad in the blood-stained robes of the Human Emperor and wielding the Human Emperor Sword formed from the power of destiny, stood in the heavens, blocking the path to Chaoge, and roared angrily: "You old traitor Zhuanxu, you colluded with foreign enemies and slaughtered your own kind, you are truly a villain of the human race! Today, I, Emperor Xin, am here, and I will make you pay for your blood debt!"

Upon hearing this, Zhuanxu sneered: "Di Xin, stop being so stubborn! Your lineage of Cheng Tang has brought chaos to the human race and defied the will of Heaven. You have long been abandoned by the will of Heaven! Today is your day of death!"

At this moment, Guang Chengzi summoned the Pangu Banner. With a wave of the banner, he tore apart the sky, and a huge spatial rift appeared above Chaoge City, with countless chaotic energies pouring down.

Upon seeing this, Di Xin roared, and his imperial aura surged, using his imperial body to withstand the power of the Pangu Banner.

"puff--"

Di Xin spat out a mouthful of blood, his body was shaken and he staggered backward, covered in wounds, his eyes filled with determination.

The Human Emperor could not ultimately reach the level of a Saint in terms of combat power. Without a supreme treasure for defense, he was simply unable to withstand the Pangu Banner.

This is also why, after the sages assessed the situation, they told Tongtian Nuwa that if the four sages did not act, the four sages would not intervene.

There was no need to drive the two saints mad; it would have been better to let their disciples finish their work smoothly. The scene of Tongtian's madness during the Investiture of the Gods was still vivid in my mind.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Tang was enraged and charged at Zhuanxu with his long sword, shouting, "You old thief Zhuanxu, I'll fight you to the death!"

A hint of disdain flashed in Zhuanxu's eyes. Without dodging or avoiding, he raised his hand and sent Cheng Tang flying with a single palm strike.

Cheng Tang fell heavily to the ground, spitting blood and covered in wounds, but he still struggled to get up.

Golden Spirit Mother led the Jie Sect cultivators in a bloody battle, countless magical treasures flashing with light, sword energy crisscrossing, as they clashed with the armies of the three sects.

The Jie Sect cultivators fought bravely, risking their lives to fight, and for a time the heavens and earth shook, and the sun and moon lost their light.

Faced with this scene of the world shaking, Lao Tzu frowned slightly and gently pointed to the Tai Chi diagram in front of him.

The Tai Chi symbol spun out, and the golden bridge between heaven and earth instantly froze the turbulent world, as if time itself had stood still at that moment.

Seeing that the people of Cheng Tang's faction were all at their last gasp and powerless to resist, Zhuanxu couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahaha, Cheng Tang, Di Xin, today is your death day!"

At this moment, Luo Shen was also fighting desperately, but she was extremely anxious. Suddenly, a voice rang out from Luo Shen's primordial spirit.

"Mi Fei, there's no need to worry!"

"Ziyu, you...you succeeded!"

Mi Fei was overjoyed, her surprise tinged with disbelief.

Yin Ziyu said, "I have succeeded in everything, but I have something to take care of. However, Jiufeng will be back soon!"

Hearing Yin Ziyu's words, Luo Shen was immediately relieved!
At this moment, Luo Shen was also approached by several powerful enemies. Among them, Taiyi Zhenren sneered: "Luo Shen, you were once so powerful, flooding Xiqi and making the Oath of Luo River famous throughout the Three Realms. Now you are destined to die in defeat!"

After hearing this, Luo Shen calmly looked at Taiyi Zhenren and the others and said, "You think you've won? I've never seen anyone hold a victory celebration halfway through!"

Taiyi Zhenren was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Luo Shen said calmly, "You'll soon find out what I mean!"

At this moment, all the people of Cheng Tang were seriously injured. Di Xin roared, "Descendants of Cheng Tang, in this battle, we will all perish!"

The severely injured Cheng Tang and his men were all prepared to perish together, but at this critical moment, suddenly, the world changed drastically.

The river of time surged forth once more, roaring and sweeping across the three realms.

At this moment, the few sages who believed they were destined to win still had calm expressions, but when they sensed the arrival of the river of time, their expressions changed drastically.

"How can it be!"

Even I was so shocked that I suddenly stood up, my face full of disbelief!

At this moment, the rolling river of time arrived instantly, shocking everyone and even stopping the great battle. A figure slowly emerged from the river of time; it was Jiu Feng.

The next moment, the overwhelming power of the Primordial Chaos swept out like a tsunami, shaking the Three Realms.

The saints present were all stunned by what they saw, their eyes filled with disbelief.

No one could have imagined that Jiufeng could achieve Hunyuan and return from the River of Time. At this moment, the entire Three Realms were dumbfounded!
