All races revere me as the Heavenly Emperor, solely because of my nine disciples!

Between heaven and earth, apart from gods and demons, all living beings are transformed from the primordial spirit.

In contrast, all living beings are the embodiment of the Primordial Spirit, while powerful beings like gods and demons are the creations of the Primordial Spirit.

However, due to the existence of reincarnation and the great calamity of abandonment, and due to the existence of various settings, in the end, even gods and demons brought about changes that should not have belonged to them.

In the cycle of reincarnation and the great calamity of abandonment, many gods and demons were caught up in the calamity of abandonment. Their path and their power were abandoned, but their origin was caught up in the cycle of reincarnation and reincarnated as new beings.

That's right, they became beings that coexisted with the Primordial Spirit.

They finally developed the emotions that only living beings possess—the emotions of the primordial spirit.

So they began to compete and strive against each other, even engaging in a contest with countless beings who were the incarnations of the Primordial Spirit.

Unfortunately, a work of art is just a work of art; how can it possibly compete with the true primordial spirit?

Until one day, one of the beings who was the incarnation of the Primordial Spirit, named Taichu, stood out, broke through the Emperor realm, and was about to return to the origin. At that time, he discovered that the world had a new order.

Because of its initial setup, various chain reactions occurred. Even without its existence, the gods and demons it created would still enter the program it set because of this order.

On the contrary, its original program had some flaws.

It was this oversight that allowed him to quickly break through all barriers and instinctively devour the endless beings in the primordial world that were formed from his own origin.

When these beings have fully returned, that will be the time for him to return to the Gate of Origin.

So, before fully returning to the Gate of Origin, he made another decision: to try to prevent himself from returning to the Origin.

That is, reincarnation cannot erase a person's memories. This means that as long as one hides in reincarnation and avoids the great calamity of abandonment, the Great Dao still exists, and the power still exists; it's just that one is dormant for a period of time, and upon waking, one can continue to compete for even greater power.

In this way, through the accumulation of generations and the passage of many eras, he will be able to find himself again.

To fill this gap, he gathered the essence of the Thirty-Three Heavens and created another world.

A world of death!

In this world of death, with the boundless ocean, yet another strange creature seems to have been born.

He bestowed upon this being an endless curse, granting it immortality, eternal life, and the power to control the boundless ocean and wash away the memories of countless beings.

He became the first person to enter this sea of ​​darkness.

He shattered himself into countless pieces, forever sinking his will into this dark sea, where countless origins were reincarnated.

Since then, his will has occasionally possessed other reincarnated beings, able to withstand the summons, but never truly solidify!

Beneath the Nether Sea, another world was born, becoming the legendary Thirty-Four Heavens.

As for what it looks like, no one knows. Not even the spirit of the Nether Sea can detect it.

But every now and then, a person named Tai Xuan would emerge from that world. His appearance meant that the great calamity of abandonment was about to arrive.

After the Great Abandonment, the Gate of Origin will open, spewing forth power to recreate everything, and a new cycle will begin once more.

From then on, the Primordial Spirit never returned to the primordial void. Instead, countless reincarnations of gods and demons, who cultivated themselves into emperors, found the Gate of Origin and sought to enter in pursuit of supreme power.

As a result, none of them could withstand the pressure of the primordial source, nor could they resist the assimilation of nothingness.

The moment these people entered, apart from their corpses being preserved as if they were murals, everything that belonged to them—their path and power—was completely shattered.

Duke Zhou is the only one in countless years who entered the Gate of Origin and did not die.

At this point, the image in the void gradually faded away, as if its appearance was only to tell the Duke of Zhou about all the experiences of creation.

To be precise, it refers to the primordial spirit and all of Tai Xuan's experiences.

This is a hint.

"Hehehe...I understand...I finally understand!"

"So this is the legendary inheritance of the Primordial Spirit!"

"In truth, there is no such thing as a Primordial Spirit in this world. There has always been only one who could enter the Gate of Origin and survive: the Primordial Spirit!"

"Even if it's not the Primordial Spirit itself, it will be another new Primordial Spirit, an existence on the same level as the Primordial Spirit!"

"And I am the second Primordial Spirit!"

"So this is the result of my countless reincarnations, the culmination of my life's journey!"

"Unconsciously, perhaps even the Primordial Spirit did not expect that someone could break away from him and reach this point!"

"No, it's its works that have managed to transcend him and reach his level!"

"No, no, no... none of that is right. Perhaps it foresaw this all along, so it left this Gate of Origin behind not only for itself, but also to await my arrival!"

Looking at the vanished painting, Duke Zhou smiled.

Without realizing it, he seemed to understand everything.

Although there are no records of what happened in the Tai Xuan Realm afterward, he could roughly imagine it.

That Nether Sea was the very sea where Wei Shu was. And the one who was cursed by the Primordial Curse was none other than Wei Shu.

His appearance is related to the Primordial Spirit to some extent, but not to much.

His appearance, like the reincarnation of gods and demons, was an accident.

His first incarnation was that of a god.

He is the God Emperor, a god who was reincarnated and degenerated into a mortal spirit, and then cultivated again!

His second incarnation was a demon, the Demon Emperor!

In his third incarnation, he became the first being in the Tai Xuan Realm to be called a human. He created the concept of Dao, roaming freely between heaven and earth, and was historically known as the Free and Unfettered Daoist.

However, starting from this life, he gradually became ordinary, and in the end, he even existed in a mortal body.

Until one lifetime, a strange memory surfaced, bringing with it the memories accumulated over generations.

The self in this memory is named Zhou Hai, and the world he lives in is an abandoned land, in chaos.

Regarding Zhou Hai's appearance, even the Duke of Zhou just a moment ago couldn't figure it out, but now he probably does.

That Zhou Hai might not be the person he was in the past, but rather the person he will be in the future.

In Zhou Hai's past memories, he was merely an illusion, a non-existent memory. His countless reincarnations were nothing more than experiencing unnecessary things.

In reality, what he was seeing was his own past, which is a kind of reincarnation, a reincarnation that is beyond the normal cycle.

It was precisely because of the insertion of this memory named Zhou Hai that an interlude occurred in his own reincarnation, causing many unnecessary things to happen.

It wasn't until many lifetimes later that he finally forgot everything and embarked once again on the path to the Gate of Origin, which was what he called the path to immortality.

Of course, while the memory named Zhou Hai brought a period of chaos, it also triggered various opportunities, which can be said to have mutually benefited each other; otherwise, it would have been difficult for him to get to where he is today.

Now that he has entered the Gate of Origin, discovered the truth of everything, and become the second Primordial Spirit, how should he leave?

With a wave of his hand, the Duke of Zhou created a new scene from the void.

That is a reflection.

He reflected the images of the Great Mystery Heavens in the void.

In that scene, he felt the countless traces of his own presence.

It was these very auras that disrupted the primordial spirit and the various heavenly secrets left behind by Tai Xuan.

Spacetime became chaotic, and everything changed from existence to non-existence.

Many things that have been experienced will reappear, and many things that should have reappeared will disappear.

Space and time are constantly changing, causing everything to change, yet everything also stops changing, as if frozen in time.

Those were changes caused by two powerful forces and two powerful auras.

Duke Zhou saw his former disciples, Jiu Huang, Sun Nanwang, Xi Yao, Chen Bei, Wu Zhiqi, and others.

They all fell into a deep sleep because of this chaos, everything that belonged to them was completely stripped away, and their past was disturbed by the aura of the two primordial spirits, and no one knows if it will reappear.

This is why the Thirty-Three Heavens world is forever imprisoned.

Seeing this, Zhou Gong no longer hesitated. He reached out and broke through the void. Terrifying power instantly merged into the Tai Xuan Realm. He wanted to straighten everything out and restore everything to its original order.

However, the moment his power surged into the Tai Xuan Realm, something terrifying happened.

"Boom boom boom..."

The thirty-three heavens of the Tai Xuan Realm collapsed almost instantly, and all the great Daos and all order in the world were in ruins.

Duke Zhou was startled and instinctively stopped.

He realized that he had become the Primal Spirit, but at this moment he still did not realize how terrifying his power was.

It wasn't until this time that he realized something was wrong; the Tai Xuan World could no longer withstand even the slightest bit of his current power.

The aura he once left behind can exist in various time and space of the Tai Xuan Realm. That aura is not his own as the Primordial Spirit, but rather the aura he left behind before he became the Primordial Spirit.

Now, even if he were to reveal even the slightest trace of his aura, the Tai Xuan World would be unable to withstand it.

It was precisely this action that triggered the great calamity of abandonment.

Unable to withstand his power, the mechanism of the Abandoned Calamity among the various mechanisms left behind by Tai Xuan in the Tai Xuan World erupted.
