Fengshen: I, Nezha, don’t need a system

The turmoil in Nuwa's heart at this moment far surpassed the chaotic storm when the world was created, because the phantom before her, which coexisted with the primordial world, completely overturned her understanding of the word "Heavenly Dao".

She never imagined that the "Primordial Heavenly Dao," which governs the operation of the primordial world and establishes the laws of the six realms, would be so audacious.

It should be understood that the Primordial Heavenly Dao already held supreme power over the Primordial World.

From the birth and death of ants on the shores of the East China Sea to the enlightenment of immortals and gods in the heavens.

From the undulating spiritual veins of Kunlun Ruins to the soaring Kunpeng in the Northern Sea.

Even the cause of every great calamity, every sacred opportunity, and the direction of every wisp of spiritual energy are all within his control.

He is the will of the primordial world, the absolute core of this world; all living beings are but dust before him.

Even primordial saints like the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, and Zhunti, after attaining enlightenment, still need to abide by his laws and be bound by his rules.

But this power, which was enough to make all the heavens and myriad realms bow down, was merely a stepping stone in his eyes.

—His gaze....

It had already pierced through the membrane of the primordial world and landed on the origin of the "Great Dao," which was above all the Heavenly Daos and seemed even more ethereal.

What he wanted was not to "dominate the primordial world," but to "surpass the Great Dao," to forge a heaven-defying path that even the great god Pangu had never attempted before.

What troubled Nuwa even more was...

When the Primordial Heavenly Dao, using divine thought as its pen and laws as its ink, laid out its meticulously crafted and suspenseful plan before her...

She was saddened to discover this.

This seemingly futile and defying-the-sky scheme actually harbors a sliver of possibility of success.

The core of the plan, from beginning to end, always revolves around two Chaos Treasures.

—The Chaos Pearl and the Chaos Bell.

The Chaos Pearl contains a chaotic space that can devour all the heavens and evolve the universe. Possessing it is equivalent to controlling the power of the origin of chaos.

The Chaos Bell, formed from fragments of Pangu's axe that opened the heavens, can stabilize earth, water, fire, and wind, and suppress the primordial chaos. It is the only weapon capable of breaking the shackles of space.

The calculations of Heaven are extremely precise.

As long as one can use Lingzhuzi's identity, one can pass for the real Chaos Bell and Chaos Pearl.

In the future, as long as he can borrow the power of the two treasures, he will be able to break the shackles of his own "Heavenly Dao" with the Chaos Bell.

Then, using the Chaos Pearl to guide the origin of the Great Dao, one can ascend to heaven in two steps and directly reach the realm of the Great Dao.

But despite his meticulous planning, he overlooked the "truth" of the Chaos Treasure.

Even though he used the will of Heaven to envelop part of the Spirit Pearl's origin and forcibly imprinted it onto the Primordial Body.

Those two supreme treasures, which have existed since the beginning of chaos, have always refused to acknowledge his existence.

The chaotic space within the Chaos Pearl surged ceaselessly.

The Chaos Bell hangs high in the sky, its ancient patterns shimmering with a rebellious light.

The two treasures are like two unruly, chaotic supreme beings.

They would rather remain silent than acknowledge Li Ziting's existence.

A thief is still a thief.

How could it possibly replace the identity of the Spirit Pearl?

The Chaos Pearl and the Chaos Bell were the most crucial "keys" in his plan.

Without the Chaos Bell to stabilize its own laws and break the shackles of the Heavenly Dao, even if he could use the power of the Spirit Pearl to condense all kinds of primordial elements.

Even if one pushes one's own power of the Heavenly Dao to an unprecedented limit, one still cannot cross the insurmountable chasm between the "Heavenly Dao" and the "Great Dao".

Without the Chaos Pearl to guide the origin of the Great Dao, even if the shackles are broken...

He was merely a "strong Heavenly Dao" who had broken free of constraints, rather than a true "master of the Great Dao".

These two keys are indispensable, but now, both keys are broken.

"It is precisely because no living being has ever tried this path that I should be the one to walk it."

At that moment, the divine radiance around the Primordial Heavenly Dao surged, and the vertical eye between its brows, symbolizing "heavenly punishment," suddenly opened.

What was in his eyes was not law, nor majesty, but pure, burning desire.

That is the ultimate yearning for the Great Way, and an obsession with the "unprecedented".

The light was so intense that it caused the chaotic primordial energy within Nuwa's Palace to boil, but this intense heat ultimately couldn't sustain him until the end.

"Although it is a great pity that we failed to reach the origin of the Great Dao and achieve our ultimate goal, for the time being, everything is still within my plan."

After a moment of silence, the voice of the Heavenly Dao returned to its usual indifference, as if the fiery and obsessive demeanor from before had never appeared.

His divine radiance receded, merging once more with the laws of the primordial world, leaving only a phantom image floating before Nuwa.

"Next, I only need to refine the power of the origin of that new world to make up for the losses I have suffered and gain the real capital to contend with that 'alien overlord'."

When the words "alien rulers" were mentioned, the voice of the Heavenly Dao became solemn for the first time.

That was not a yearning for the Great Way, but a cautious approach to a powerful enemy.

He knew better than anyone that the alien ruler's strength had long transcended the realm of "Heavenly Dao" and reached a state of "infinitely close to the Great Dao".

What kind of power is that?

Even if he exhausted the power of the Primordial Heavenly Dao, mobilized the laws of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to fully assist the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and used the Primordial World as a foundation to confront the alien race rulers on the edge of chaos.

If it weren't for the primordial world serving as the last line of defense, continuously supplying him and Hongjun with primordial power...

They had already been defeated by the alien rulers, and the entire primordial world would be forcibly shattered by them.

The original power was plundered and integrated into the world of other races, instead of the current situation where the two sides are "equally integrated" with chaos as the boundary.

But the more this was the case, the deeper the doubts in the heart of the Primordial Heavenly Dao became.

He simply couldn't understand why the alien ruler would choose the path of "equality and integration".

With their strength, which is infinitely close to the Great Dao, they could easily break through the primordial membrane of heaven and earth with brute force and forcibly extract the primordial power.

Will they then crush and devour the entire primordial world, merging it into their world?

This is the most direct and advantageous way for the alien races, as it saves time and allows them to obtain the complete primordial origin.

But the other party did not do that; instead, they proposed the condition of "equal integration".

Each of the two worlds originated from its own source, and through chaos as a medium, they slowly merged into a new great world, without invading or plundering each other in the process.

This is practically a path of "tying one's own hands" against a foreign ruler.

The workings of Heaven have also deduced that "equal integration" is indeed the fastest way to merge the two great worlds into one.

—After all, forcibly devouring would take several eras, while equal fusion could be completed in a very short time.

But he knew even better that for beings like them who had lived through countless epochs and measured time in "epochs," did they really need a few more epochs of time?

The other party clearly had a better option, but they chose the path that was most disadvantageous to themselves and most "forgiving" to the primordial world.

This is something that Heaven cannot understand, no matter how it manipulates the laws of nature or tries to fathom it based on its own understanding of the "ruler".

The primordial energy of creation still flowed within the inner space. Nuwa gazed at the ethereal image of the Heavenly Dao that had returned to indifference, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

She was both relieved that Heaven had not yet reached the Great Way.

—That is, after all, a variable powerful enough to overturn the primordial world.

They were also worried about his plan to refine the new world.

They felt a vague unease about the "abnormal" behavior of the alien ruler.

But mostly it was anger.

Even in her rage, she didn't know how to seek justice for her fallen spirit pearl.

Just as the Primordial Heavenly Dao said, his physical body at this moment was forged with the help of Ling Zhu'er's true self and the power of thunder as its heart and the Primordial Chaos as its body.

In a sense, he is another Lingzhu'er.

Could it be that Goddess Nuwa really intends to personally kill Lingzhu, whom she watched grow up?

She can't do it!

I really can't do it!
