Hoo hoo~

A startled and furious roar burst from his throat. The Day Wanderer struggled incessantly, but his nape was pinned down, and his short legs could barely move.

He was consumed with rage, but he had to use every means to dispel the distracting thoughts in his mind, lest he recall the memories he least wanted to remember.

Whoosh~

The newcomer casually lifted him up.

"Day Wanderer?"

He heard the newcomer call his name. It was a question, yet it carried an affirmative tone.

"You..."

The Day Wanderer was taken aback, finally seeing the newcomer's true face. It was an ordinary young man, not ugly, but certainly not remarkably handsome either.

But his aura was indescribably pure. His gentle eyes seemed to contain mountains and seas, and his calm demeanor concealed surging waves.

"Who are you?"

"You came looking for me, yet you ask who I am?"

An Qi Sheng glanced indifferently at the porcupine he was holding, his expression cool.

With his current power, it was extremely difficult to capture a primordial spirit avatar whose main body had not died in such a world with strict laws.

It wasn't that this Day Wanderer was so powerful that he couldn't handle him, but that this world was strange.

The six Daos of spiritual energy—'God, Immortal, Buddha, Demon, Evil, Devil'—intertwined in every tiny place in the world, like a heavenly net encompassing everything.

Anyone without 'roots' in it would inevitably be discovered once they displayed extraordinary means.

Just like Xuan Xing, an ordinary person with no known background suddenly displaying trillions in wealth would inevitably attract attention.

The so-called net of heaven is vast, and that is the reason.

An Qi Sheng had briefly sensed the extremely incomplete will of Heaven in the Human Dao and naturally understood this principle.

The Heavenly will of the Human Dao had been destroyed ten times by the Imperial Heaven, yet it still possessed such power, let alone this Earth Immortal Realm.

It was not easy for someone with less than ten thousand years of cultivation to traverse and dominate among the powerful forces that had gathered from all realms and inherited for hundreds of millions of years.

However, it was a different matter that this Day Wanderer had been injured by the 'Five-Colored Divine Light', and his primordial spirit avatar was near collapse.

"You are that false god?!"

The Day Wanderer's heart trembled, and he subconsciously tried to communicate with his main body, only to find that the surrounding void was isolated by an invisible force, making it impossible to penetrate.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?"

After the initial shock, the Day Wanderer barely regained his composure. There were still waves in his heart. How did this false god know his divine name?!

"I still have some doubts in my heart and would like to ask for guidance from the venerable god. I believe you won't refuse."

An Qi Sheng's expression changed slightly.

This Day Wanderer was not as good as Qi Cun, but his cultivation was not weak. Even in that Imperial Heaven Court, he was not an ordinary figure.

He might not know some secrets, but what he knew was naturally incomparable to the two inconstant imps before.

It was just that this Day Wanderer had a great curse on him, making it extremely difficult to condense his primordial spirit imprint.

And the omniscient神通 (Shéntōng, divine power) of the Da Dao Ji required too much Dao power. He had not gained anything since coming to this realm, and he had already spent a huge amount, which he could hardly afford.

More importantly, he didn't want to rely on the Da Dao Ji for everything.

The Da Dao Ji had a total of fifty fragments. The Shéntōng within might not overlap, but it was very likely that they had mutual restraint. It would not be a good thing to rely on it too much.

"My body has the Divine Emperor's curse. If you want to search my soul, just come."

The Day Wanderer was startled at first, then sneered. He still wanted to maintain his composure, but wearing the shell of a porcupine made him look a little ridiculous and laughable.

"Soul searching is naturally unnecessary."

An Qi Sheng shook his head slightly.

This body evolved from the Bodhi seed was thin. Although he could borrow the power of the Giant Spirit God, it was still extremely difficult to search the soul of this god.

However, he didn't need to do that.

Whoosh~

With a thought, a layer of invisible light poured into the porcupine's body like mercury.

"Ah!"

In the next moment, startled birds flew, beasts ran, and a pig-slaughtering-like scream resounded in the high sky.

An Qi Sheng seemed not to hear this scream, closed his eyes slightly, and could already see the condensation of the primordial spirit imprint deep in his soul beginning to accelerate.

Until the scream gradually subsided and became inaudible, the primordial spirit imprint had been initially formed.

As it slowly turned, the incomplete memories contained in this primordial spirit avatar of the Day Wanderer unfolded in his heart.

What An Qi Sheng first captured was the Earth Immortal Dao, or rather, the true cultivation system of the Imperial Heaven Six Dao Realm.

The cultivation of the Imperial Heaven Realm was similar to that of the Human Dao, but there were also obvious differences.

Nurturing Qi, receiving the talisman, nourishing, Benming (original destiny), after entering the Dao, was forming the Dan (elixir), and the Dan had nine revolutions. Until the Shéntōng underwent ten transformations, one could be promoted to the realm of primordial spirit.

This realm of primordial spirit was similar to the primordial spirit realm of the Human Dao, but there was no distinction between Dharma Idol, Purity, Mandate of Heaven, and Supreme Being.

The three sacrifices of the primordial spirit took the path of combining the spirit and the flesh. The primordial spirit was also known as the Human Immortal.

The peak of the three sacrifices was called the Dharma Body, which meant the true unity of the primordial spirit and the flesh.

At that time, the primordial spirit could be transformed in thousands of ways, with endless incarnations. This realm was already the realm of Earth Immortal.

Because this realm could steal life from heaven, it was also known as the realm of stealing life.

Above the Earth Immortal was the Heavenly Immortal.

The realm of Heavenly Immortal was a true transformation compared to the Earth Immortal. The place where its divine thoughts reached could derive the heavens and earth, create living beings, and create stars.

The place where its principles reached was like the master of creation!

......

In the ruined Linxi City, cries rang out everywhere. Many people who had been stunned woke up and looked at their homes that had collapsed into ruins, and they couldn't help but wail.

It was not easy to live in Linxi City. In order to settle down there, it often took the accumulation of several generations for those who were not rich and powerful.

Seeing everything destroyed, how could they not feel miserable?

"My people..."

Qiao Mo Ke staggered through the ruins, listening to the cries around him, his face twitching, his heart in agony.

More than ten years ago, tired of the infighting with the Emperor Qi Tang in the court, he led his people to retreat to the Southern Hua Dao, and in ten years, he transformed the original dilapidated city into the current first city of Southern Hua.

The hardship involved was truly difficult for outsiders to understand.

At this time, watching and listening, his face became more and more indifferent, but the nameless fire in his heart accumulated higher and higher. His five fingers dug into his flesh, and the hot blood dripped to the ground, sizzling.

"Pitiful, pitiful."

Zen Master Gu Yue put his hands together and sighed softly, "The world is difficult, and it is already rare to protect oneself. Even the legendary Sage Emperor could not benefit all living beings, so the prince does not need to feel too guilty."

"I am now beginning to believe that some of the things in the legends are true..."

Tao Chongliang's expression was a little desolate. This matter was too big of a blow to him.

If human power could reach this point, what was the point of his lifelong pursuit of the unification of all countries?

"Legends have both truth and falsehood. You cannot completely believe them, but you cannot completely disbelieve them either."

Zen Master Gu Yue swept away a large amount of dust and dirt, rescuing dozens of people. A trace of confusion appeared on his dark face:

"It's just that the legends say that gods are the masters of humans and protect all living beings. Perhaps, perhaps..."

Looking at Linxi City, which was like a ruin, it was difficult for Gu Yue to believe that the legendary 'gods rule the world, and the world is united' was true.

Without a balancing force, would they really care about humans?

On the contrary, some sealed legends made her somewhat believe.

"Who knows?"

Tao Chongliang was a little disheartened. He helped up a child who had been separated from his parents and sighed up to the sky.

The restriction formation of Linxi City was destroyed in one fell swoop, which also prevented the destruction from truly killing the people in the city. It seemed that the damage was not great.

But the things implied behind this were too many and too big.

If that old Taoist was a 'god', was the legendary 'Imperial Heaven Court' also real?

"It is said that Qi Tang is a country descended from gods. Perhaps there are records about 'gods' in the court..."

Zen Master Gu Yue glanced at Qiao Mo Ke.

The latter shook his head, obviously not having heard of similar records.

She was not disappointed. In fact, tens of thousands of years were enough to bury everything. Even though her 'Qing Jing Mountain' had never断了传承 (duàn le chuánchéng, unbroken lineage) for many years, there were only fragments about the past.

The classics of Qi Tang and even the various countries all had a gap in history.

Qing Jing Mountain was also like this.

All the records ended abruptly with that 'Emperor Jue Tian Tong' (帝绝天通, Emperor severed the connection between heaven and earth), and no one knew why the 'Emperor' wanted to 'sever the connection between heaven and earth'.

No one knew what had happened in the more ancient years.

It seemed that someone had completely erased the previous years.

Qiao Mo Ke, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly leaned down, wiped away the dust, hugged the wooden Giant Spirit God statue, and muttered to himself:

"Incense offerings are acceptable, and sincere kowtows are unnecessary. I don't believe in gods, but I believe that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. If you are really a 'god', if you need me, then reveal your divinity..."

For several months, because of the Giant Spirit God statue's divine power, he had acquiesced to Qin Honghai's actions in promoting the Giant Spirit God statue.

But many retainers, including him, would not have the thought of worshiping gods.

But at this time, his thoughts had changed.

He didn't know which god that old Taoist was, but he absolutely didn't want such a thing to happen again.

Buzz~

While Qiao Mo Ke closed his eyes and concentrated, a bright light suddenly flashed in his heart, illuminating the darkness in front of him.

A statue of a god whose face could not be seen slowly walked out of the void. Invisible and tangible divine light did not know where it came from, and instantly filled his heart sea.

In this moment, he seemed to see infinite mysteries unfolding in his heart, intertwined and transformed into a golden scripture.

The God Rises in the Human Dao!

"The God Rises in the Human Dao?"

Qiao Mo Ke's heart trembled, and he concentrated on the scripture.

Boom!

It was as if a bronze bell was ringing, and endless divine light exploded in his heart.

Extremely complex divine patterns surged and agitated in his heart. Finally, in the shadow outlined by the endless divine patterns, he seemed to see a world floating and sinking.

In a daze, he saw the plants, trees, mountains, rivers, boundless oceans, and the clouds of the Vault of Heaven in the world, as well as the strange carriages that crisscrossed the mountains and the earth.

And among the boundless clouds, a majestic and endless giant divine court stretched for thousands or tens of thousands of miles.

There was a person standing in front of the gate of the divine court. He was wearing a Taoist robe, his hair and beard were gray, and his body was not very tall, but his aura was as vast and澎湃 (péngpài, surging) as the sea of stars.

And just as he looked at him, the old Taoist seemed to sense something and raised his eyebrows. A thrilling divine light flashed in his clear eyes.

Like the morning star that lights up in the dim night!

That was......
