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

The Great Dao Pearl, the supreme power of the alien race, now hangs on Li Ziting's blood-stained chest.

The eerie purple light clung to his shattered, lightning-infused skin like a living thing, seeping into the cracks and leaving cold, scorching marks on his flesh.

Deep within that radiant light, countless ancient seal scripts of foreign races flowed like a river of stars.

Each seal script character exudes the primordial essence of "the Way of Life, the Way of Shaping, and the Way of Transforming".

—The Creation Jade Disc of Hongjun Daozu is the "Book of Heavenly Dao" that carries the Heavenly Dao and records the Three Thousand Great Daos.

No matter how thick the pages of a book are, it cannot escape the scope defined by the laws of nature.

However, this Great Dao Pearl is the "Great Dao Brush" that can rewrite the rules and redefine the order of the universe, while the Jade Disc can only "follow along the way".

However, the precious pearl can "go against the way" and discuss the ultimate control over the "way".

The precious pearl had already surpassed the Jade Disc of Creation, and even the void trembled slightly under its pressure, turning into ripples like water.

At this moment, the earth energy around Ryūriki was surging wildly.

A yellowish-brown light spread out from beneath her feet, drawing power from the cracks in the void.

Her hair was blown wildly backward by the airflow.

A yellowish-brown mark of mountains and rivers appeared between his brows.

With each breath, a vast amount of the earth's essence flowed into her body through her mouth and nose, transforming into pure power that was then injected into the Great Dao Pearl.

The radiance of the pearl suddenly surged, and a dark purple band of light wrapped around Li Ziting's body like tentacles.

The spiritual energy poured in in a visible form, transforming into milky-white energy dragons that entered the precious pearl.

Even the stars in the distant sky were slightly shifting, and the arrangement of the Big Dipper was visibly distorted.

It was as if even the trajectory of the universe was being forcibly reversed by this force.

"You can't do that! I'm Nezha too!"

Li Ziting's roar shattered the void.

Blood-red saliva splattered from the corners of his mouth, condensing into droplets of blood in the air.

It was torn apart again by the violent airflow.

His muscles were bulging like the roots of an old tree, and his six arms were waving wildly.

Each hand was clenched so tightly it turned white and emitted lightning, but the limbs and neck were firmly locked by the six-eyed body covered in chaotic mist.

—The six-eyed chaotic body is both real and illusory.

The pitch-black fog was dotted with golden stardust, like countless sturdy chains.

It wrapped around every inch of Li Ziting's skin, precisely suppressing even the slightest tremor of his muscles.

Even more terrifying, the chaotic mist continued to seep into his meridians.

They were trying to break his resistance.

Just then, deep within Li Ziting's heart, the power of his "true self," which had been dormant for thousands of years, suddenly began to burn.

—It was a ball of pure white light, carrying the pure and holy fragrance of reincarnation.

It is the original imprint that Nezha embodies, carrying the arrogance and determination of a young war god.

Beside the ball of light, a wisp of pale blue lightning essence was surging wildly through the veins.

But now, these two forces seem to be gripped by an invisible hand.

It began to break free from Li Ziting's will, following the eerie purple light that pierced his heart...

Gradually, they converged towards the core of the Great Dao Pearl, with each bit lost.

Li Ziting's face paled a little more, but the madness in his eyes intensified.

The pale golden light flowed through the meridians, yet it didn't even have the courage to approach the dark purple radiance. Like a candle flame encountering the scorching sun, it was burned and sizzled as soon as it touched the aura of the precious pearl.

Long Liyi lowered her eyes to look at the pale golden light, her eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.

To her, this newly born power of the Heavenly Dao was not even worthy of her raising her eyes to take a second look.

"What Nezha's true self, thunder?"

The six eyes that bound Li Ziting were tightly furrowed.

On the face formed by chaotic mist, six vertical pupils were filled with doubt.

How could he have memories of the primordial era?

At this moment, his chaotic body had already expanded to a height of a million feet, and the pitch-black mist resembled a continuous mountain range.

Each chain of mist that pressed down on Li Ziting was wrapped around him.

They are all harder than Chaos Black Iron.

But just as he was wondering, Li Ziting's six locked arms suddenly burst out with astonishing power!

"Drink——!"

Li Ziting let out a beast-like roar, unleashing all the remaining power within him.

A thunder spear, about ten feet long, simultaneously materialized in the palms of all six hands.

—The spear tip flashed with dazzling blue-white lightning, and the spear body was wrapped with pure white annihilation phantoms. It was a killing move condensed from the "origin of thunder"!

As soon as the spear was formed, it pierced through the six-eyed chaotic body with a sharp whistling sound that tore through the chaos!

"puff--"

Six Eyes suddenly bent over, and large mouthfuls of dark blood gushed from his throat.

That blood was not ordinary blood, but rather formed from the primordial chaos.

As it fell into the void, it corroded space, creating small black holes, the edges of which still flickered with a fading light.

His chaotic origin was severely damaged by the Thunder Spear.

The body formed of mist began to dissipate and recombine unstablely.

The mist on the left arm even dissipated into countless points of light, revealing the empty, chaotic core within.

Even so, he held Li Ziting's arm tightly without loosening his grip.

—The chaotic body is inherently immortal and indestructible.

Although this injury was excruciating, it was far from fatal.

He struggled to lift his head, his six vertical pupils staring intently into Li Ziting's bloodshot eyes.

Although the exact meaning of the other person's roar could not be clearly heard, the distorted face and crazed eyes were telling the story of "out of control".

Six-eyed man's vertical pupils narrowed slightly, and he had already made up his mind.

"It seems that Long Liyi did the right thing. This kid really should be stripped of that power."

Before he could finish speaking, a terrifying burst of lightning energy suddenly erupted from Li Ziting's body.

—That was the aftershock of the collision between "Nezha's Thunder Origin" and the newly born Heavenly Dao power.

Like a tsunami, it swept towards Long Liyi, leaving fine cracks in the space it passed through.

The earth energy around Long Liyi instantly surged, and an earth-yellow light shield firmly enveloped her.

The light shield revealed the illusory images of mountains, rivers, plants, birds, and beasts, each of which trembled slightly.

She used herself as a medium to draw upon the primordial power of the ancient land.

—The rocks of Kunlun Mountain, the silt of the East China Sea, the loess of Xiqi...

All of this converged before her at this moment, using the weight of the earth to withstand the sharpness of the thunder.

Even so, the impact of the lightning breath still made her body sway precariously.

A trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, dripping down his chin and landing on the light shield. It was instantly absorbed by the power of the earth, turning into nourishment for the light shield.

But her gaze remained firm, fixed on Li Ziting's heart.

Manipulating the Great Dao Pearl, he gradually stripped away the power belonging to Nezha.

As the dark purple light surged, Li Ziting's and Liu Yan's chaotic bodies simultaneously expanded.

—From ten thousand zhang, thirty thousand zhang, fifty thousand zhang…

The bones made a cracking sound, and with each expansion of the body, the surrounding space was compressed and distorted more and more.

Ultimately, both of them swelled to nearly a million feet tall.

Like two towering mountains, their heads almost touching the upper layers of space.

The scorching lightning grew even more violent, carrying an aura of destruction as it pierced straight towards Long Liyi's face.

The earth's power within her surged wildly, making the illusory images of mountains and rivers on the light shield increasingly clear.

There were even clear birdsong and the sound of flowing water coming from inside the light shield, as if a small world was taking shape inside it.

The earth's ceaseless cycle of life sustained her as she completed the final stripping.

"No! Absolutely not!"

Li Ziting struggled frantically, letting out a dying beast-like roar from his throat.

Veins popped out all over his body.

The meridians break and repair themselves repeatedly under the impact of force, only to break again.

The "source of thunder" within the body is visibly draining away.

Pale blue lightning surged into the precious pearl along with the dark purple light.

With each strand of hair he lost, his arm grew weaker.

That ball of light, the "true self" belonging to Nezha, is imprisoned deep within his heart.

It was like sand and dust swept away by a gale, rapidly escaping along with the power of the Great Dao Pearl.

With each inch the orb shrank, Li Ziting's consciousness became a little more blurred.

In desperation, he suddenly activated all the newly generated Heavenly Dao power within his body.

—A pale golden light instantly circulated wildly within his body, causing his bones to crack and pop.

His muscles swelled again, attempting to increase his strength and break free from the six eyes' restraints.

He could sense that the newly formed power of the Heavenly Dao was rapidly merging, and if he were given just a little more time, he would be able to break through his current realm.

But just then, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Long Liyi...

Outside the protective barrier of earth energy surrounding her, a layer of pale golden energy flowed slowly.

The current of energy was different from the pale gold of the newly born Heavenly Dao; instead, it carried a warm and profound color, as if it were formed from the combined beliefs of countless human beings.

In the air currents, countless blurry figures are slowly emerging.

The leading figure wore a straw hat and animal skin, held a yarrow stalk in his hand, and had eyes as deep as the starry sky.

Surrounded by the phantom image of the Eight Trigrams, it is none other than the great god Fuxi, who created the world with a single stroke, deduced the Eight Trigrams, and guided humanity.

Beside him, a figure dressed in hemp clothing held a medicinal hoe, surrounded by the fragrance of countless herbs.

Even though it is just a phantom, it exudes the compassion of saving people and helping the world. It is Shennong, the great god who tasted hundreds of herbs, identified the five grains, and brought livelihood to all people.

Further away, a figure held a flint, with a faint yet tenacious flame flickering around him.

His face was ancient and resolute, and though the flame was small, it illuminated the surrounding darkness.

It was Suirenshi, who invented fire by drilling wood, drove away wild beasts, and brought light to humankind…

Moreover, the number of people is constantly increasing.

—The Yellow Emperor holds the Xuanyuan Sword, surrounded by tribal totems.

Zhuanxu was dressed in black robes, and his body was surrounded by an aura of the underworld.

Emperor Ku holds a seedling, radiating the joy of a bountiful harvest.

Emperor Yao held a pottery bowl, his expression radiating a gentle warmth that showed his love for his people.

Yu Shun, draped in a straw raincoat, was surrounded by the fresh air left by the receding floodwaters...

One after another, illusory figures of ancient human sages emerged from the pale golden aura.

Although their figures were not real, they exuded a humanitarian aura that was unprecedented in history.

Each phantom stretched out its hand, transforming its own power into strands of golden light, which were then poured into Long Liyi's earth power shield.

"It's...humanity?"

Li Ziting's pupils suddenly contracted, and the anger on his face was instantly replaced by shock. The color drained from his face, leaving only a deathly pale complexion.

He opened his mouth, his voice trembling with disbelief: "So... in the primordial human path, you ultimately chose her?"

He suddenly remembered that the primordial world was originally a place where the three realms of heaven, earth, and humanity coexisted.

Only when the three pillars stand in balance can the entire primordial world be sustained.

The representative of the Heavenly Dao is oneself, who at this moment has merged with the power of the newly born Heavenly Dao.

The true ruler of the underworld is Houtu Niangniang, who sits in the underworld, transforms into reincarnation, and mends the path with her own body.

As for humanity, that should have been the domain of the Human Emperor.

However, after Emperor Xin, the position of the human emperor has been vacant.

Even Wu Geng, who later rebelled, was nothing more than a human king.

Supported by the beliefs of the human race, he has never reached the realm of the Human Emperor, let alone aroused the origin of humanity.

At this moment, humanity not only actively manifested itself in the world, but also devoted its entire essence to protecting Long Liyi.

They even summoned the assistance of the ancient sages of humanity...

Li Ziting's mind was in chaos. He had thought that humanity had long been suppressed and bound by himself as the Heavenly Dao.

Like a sleeping behemoth, it dared not reveal even the slightest breath.

But to everyone's surprise, this human being unleashed such a crazy power at the moment of death!

"Why……"

He muttered to himself, his eyes filled with incomprehension and resentment.

"Everything in the new world must be reinvented; the old order of heaven has collapsed."

"I am the only one who can maintain the primordial order in the new world, why are you stopping me?"

"Why don't you join forces with me to resist the alien races and those outsiders, but instead turn against me?"

He couldn't understand it—it was Hongjun Daozu who suppressed humanity, stripped the Human Emperor of his authority, and confined humanity to the depths of the primordial land.

It's not like it's Li Ziting!

Even if humanity harbors resentment and bitterness, it should vent its anger on Hongjun.

Why target his "brother"?

"It's unfair...this is so unfair!"

Li Ziting roared wildly.

The newly generated power of the Heavenly Dao within his body erupted once more, attempting to resist, but all his efforts were in vain.

No matter how unwilling or angry Li Ziting was, he couldn't change the facts before him.

—With the amplification of human power, the Great Dao Pearl suddenly accelerated its speed in drawing Nezha's power.

As the dark purple light surged, the "True Self" light cluster and the "Origin of Thunder" within Li Ziting's body...

Like fallen leaves swept away by a gale...

They had no chance to struggle and were completely sucked into the pearl.

"No—! My power! That's my power!"

Li Ziting let out a final, desperate roar, his voice filled with heart-wrenching pain.

Just at the moment when Nezha's "Returning to My Origin" and "True Self" powers were completely extracted.

Li Ziting's body could no longer hold on and exploded!

Countless streaks of blue and white lightning burst forth from his body, transforming into a rain of thunder that crashed down into the void below.

And at the center of the lightning...

A heart the size of a fist, made entirely of lightning, is slowly floating in the void.

—The surface of that heart was wrapped in pale golden arcs of electricity, and with each beat, it emanated the pressure of the newly born Heavenly Dao.

There is no colorless cycle of reincarnation in the electric arc, only the coldness and majesty of the heavenly way.

This is Li Ziting's unique "Heavenly Thunder Origin," not Nezha's "Thunder Origin."

A hint of seriousness flashed in Long Liyi's eyes, and she flipped her wrist.

He immediately took the Dao Pearl that was floating in the void into his palm.

The dark purple light gradually subsided, but one could still feel the surging power within it in the palm of one's hand—Nezha's "true self" and "Lotus Thunder Origin".

Furthermore, the Great Dao rules inherent in the precious pearl itself can easily lead to loss of control if one is not careful.

Without the slightest hesitation, she turned to the six-eyed man behind her who was still coughing up blood and said in a deep voice.

"There's still some residual power of the newly born Heavenly Dao within him in his Thunder Heart. You need to take it down quickly!"

"I will take the power of the Great Dao Pearl out first, so that the alien races or Hongjun will not notice the fluctuations and cause further changes."

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around decisively.

The power of the earth and the golden aura of humanity surged around her, and a pitch-black vortex suddenly appeared out of thin air behind her.

—A pale golden aetheric chaotic aura swirled around the edge of the vortex.

That aura shared the same origin as the six-eyed chaotic body, but was purer and more refined; it was a power that could only be controlled by touching the origin of chaos.

Without pausing for a moment, Ryūriki stepped straight into the vortex.

The vortex then slowly closed, and the golden aura at its edge quickly dissipated.

It's like it never happened.

"When did this woman... become able to control the etheric chaos?"

Six Eyes wiped the black blood from the corner of his mouth.

The palm formed from chaotic mist still bore traces of lightning burns.

His six vertical pupils were filled with doubt, and his brows furrowed: "To be able to tear through space and connect with the outside world like the Lord, even easily penetrating the barrier of chaos, is truly perplexing..."

The doubt lasted only a moment before he turned his gaze back to the Thunder Heart before him.

—The heart floated in the void, each beat radiating a terrifying thunderous pressure, causing the surrounding space to tremble continuously.

On the surface of the heart, a thin layer of pure white light was slowly flowing.

That light was pure and warm, yet it carried the inviolable majesty of the Heavenly Way.

It was the residual power of the newly reborn Heavenly Dao left by Li Ziting.

The six-eyed chaotic body twitched slightly, and the pitch-black mist, like a large net, enveloped the thunderous heart. A ruthless glint flashed in its eyes: "Since the Holy Maiden says she wants to take it down, then let's take it down!"
