After releasing the Taotie, Ji Du Mo Jiang had been using the Taotie's life token to conceal his aura.
He followed behind, assessing the situation.
He even almost intervened to help the Taotie escape.
However, as the Taotie's life token showed no signs of cracking, indicating it wasn't mortally wounded, Ji Du Mo Jiang ultimately suppressed his impulse.
He waited until the Taotie had fully recovered.
After the Taotie wreaked havoc in the Western Extreme region without drawing out the White Tiger Ancestor again, Ji Du Mo Jiang finally returned with peace of mind.
He went back to the foot of the Hengdu Mountain Range to report to the God of Destruction.
His report primarily detailed what happened after the Taotie was released, how it sustained injuries and subsequently recovered so quickly.
"Excellent, excellent. I never imagined that the few strands of Creation origin that were secretly pilfered during the fall of the God of Creation would be so miraculous. It is a shame; I should have taken more risks to acquire the remnants of the God of Creation's body. Now, it's impossible."
Upon hearing Ji Du's report, the God of Destruction was extremely pleased with the power of the composite beast he had created, named Taotie. He also lamented not having obtained the remains of the God of Creation,
otherwise, he could have created more such composite beasts, or even smaller, slightly weaker ones.
Before the Laws of Yin and Yang were fully integrated into the world, the God of Destruction was solely proficient in the Law of Destruction. However, as the Laws of Yin and Yang merged into the world, he began to dabble in aspects of the Law of Creation through the newly born principle of Yin generating Yang.
While his involvement in corresponding laws through Yin generating Yang, or Yang generating Yin, was not comprehensive, it was of an extremely high caliber, as Yin generating Yang produced extreme Yang, and Yang generating Yin produced extreme Yin.
The destructive force taken to its extreme ultimately gave birth to a creative force comparable to creation itself. However, the God of Destruction was not a specialist in the Law of Creation. Therefore, the portion of extreme creative force he acquired merely allowed him to successfully create demons slightly superior to most innate beings. The Four Fierce Beasts were created only after he had finished creating the demons, and due to his insufficient ability to reconcile the conflicts of elemental origins within the four terrifying composite beasts, he was compelled to infuse them with the innate Creation origin he had preserved for many years.
This enabled the Four Fierce Beasts to be successfully born.
Even though the God of Destruction possessed some remnants of innate god-demons afterward, without the assistance of innate Creation origin, he found it impossible to replicate the miracle of creating the Four Fierce Beasts, which was a source of great regret.
The more powerful these Four Fierce Beasts proved to be, the more the God of Destruction regretted his missed opportunities.
"Father God, what should we do next? Should we abandon them, or is there a way to reseal the Taotie and unseal it only when needed?"
Ji Du dared not waste time with pleasantries.
Instead, he directly inquired about the upcoming arrangements.
"There is no way to reseal them. When they were first created, I already found them somewhat difficult to control. Later, to enhance their strength, I sealed them in different continents and set up formations, supplying them with the innate malevolent energy, resentful energy, and other energies from entire continents to boost their power.
This is how they acquired their current terrifying strength.
When they were first born, I could barely control and seal them. But now, having absorbed innate malevolent energy and god-demon resentment for thousands of yuan hui, even I, at best, can only kill them, not seal them all away intact."
"Very well, to prevent the three races from joining forces to slaughter the Taotie upon receiving news, you will carry my command token and release the other three fierce beasts sealed in the other three continents. Also, give them an instruction: if any other fierce beast encounters danger, they must immediately provide reinforcements.
With these four fierce beasts causing chaos, I believe there will inevitably be some loopholes within the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin tribes. You will also inform the other nine Demon Generals, making sure to seize the opportunity to deepen the hatred between the three tribes.
Make it so that they will never rest until one side is annihilated."
Since one of the four fierce beasts had already been released, rather than leaving it isolated and vulnerable, potentially to be eliminated by the combined forces of the other divine beast ancestors before long, it was better to release all four. Given their strength, as long as they joined forces, even if the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin tribal ancestors, along with the Azure Dragon Ancestor and the White Tiger Ancestor, were to combine their might, they could at best heavily injure them, but not utterly destroy them.
With such strength,
they would be able to roam freely across the land.
In fact, to put it bluntly, if these four fierce beasts had not been created by him, and if he had not left behind hidden safeguards in the true spirit origins of the Four Fierce Beasts, even the God of Destruction would not be able to guarantee his absolute victory against them, such was their terror.
"Yes!"
The ten great Demon Generals rarely questioned the commands of their Father God, so Ji Du readily agreed. He then took the other three fierce beast life tokens from the God of Destruction and vanished like a streak of light to carry out his mission.
...
Meanwhile, the White Tiger Ancestor had arrived at the new Holy Land of Creation and met the Daoist of Creation, who had been newly nurtured from the remnants of the God of Creation's body. Unlike the God of Destruction, who was not dead initially and was merely recovering from severe injuries, the Daoist of Creation was born from the complete demise of the God of Creation. His incorruptible true spirit had been utterly annihilated, but the profound origin contained within his divine-demonic body after death was still potent and was subsequently placed by the world consciousness back in its original nurturing ground for a new gestation.
The Daoist of Creation was a new innate god-demon gestated from the original origin of the God of Creation.
He could be considered a son, or a new life.
But he was definitely not the original God of Creation.
Hence, the distinction between "God-Demon" and "Daoist" was used.
"Who is so powerful as to injure your offspring like this? This is too brutal..."
After hearing the White Tiger Ancestor's plea and personally witnessing the tragic state of the White Tiger Ancestor's two offspring, the Daoist of Creation was deeply shocked. As he inquired, he quickly recited an incantation, drawing upon the three lights of the sun, moon, and stars to condense the Three Lights Divine Water to nourish the remaining bodies of the two small white tigers. He explained:
"Their foundations are damaged. If I were to forcefully repair them with the power of creation, it is very likely that their origins would be contaminated. Fortunately, a while ago, I comprehended the laws contained within the sun, moon, and stars, and combined them with my own Law of Creation.
I created the technique of the Three Lights Divine Water.
This technique condenses the essence of the sun, moon, and stars, and harmonizes it with the Qi of Creation to form the Three Lights Divine Water. It can simultaneously nourish and repair the body, soul, and foundational origins, and it will not contaminate the origins, ensuring the purity of the injured party's foundation.
This is far more effective than simply repairing with the power of creation, which would easily lead to their origins being tainted with the aura of creation."
