The most troublesome aspect of the Destruction God-Demon's actions was that he had secretly linked his origin with the ancestral脉 of the entire Western Continent, as well as all the branch脉 that extended from it.
This meant that he could, if he wished.
He could annihilate the Western Continent at any moment.
This was actually quite similar to Ding Yun's own actions. Ding Yun also intended to bind her Heavenly Dao network completely with the entire world. If the world consciousness tried to destroy the Heavenly Dao network, the entire world would also be destroyed. This was a small trick to counter the world consciousness.
It was a way to make the other party hesitate.
However, it was fine for her to do such a thing herself.
It was troublesome when others did it.
Because if the Destruction God-Demon couldn't hold on, or fell into complete despair, and decided to take everything with him, then Ding Yun's base stations integrated into the Western Continent would also be destroyed.
At that time, her entire Heavenly Dao network.
Would have a deficit of one-tenth.
This was a significant hidden danger.
The Eternal World's land and sea were roughly divided equally, with the sea occupying half and the land occupying half. The entire landmass could actually be considered a whole, but out of habit, Ding Yun divided it into five continents: East, South, West, North, and Central.
The Western Continent accounted for one-tenth of the world's total share.
This was not a small proportion. If her Heavenly Dao network had such a large flaw, it was hard to say if the world consciousness would take the opportunity to cause trouble and leave behind hidden dangers.
However, Ding Yun couldn't directly eliminate the Destruction God-Demon now. Because the Destruction God-Demon had already connected his origin with the ancestral脉 of the Western Continent, they shared prosperity and destruction together. Eliminating the Destruction God-Demon now would only hasten the demise of the Western Continent.
"Sigh, this is so annoying. There are only two options now. One is to directly exclude the Western Continent.
When constructing the Heavenly Dao network.
Simply abandon the Western Continent.
Another is to relocate the base stations in the Western Continent, but where can they be relocated to? The most important things in a continent are the spiritual脉, earth脉, and water脉, but these all extend from the ancestral脉. Once the ancestral脉 is destroyed, no other脉 can escape. Moreover, if the ancestral脉 is truly destroyed, the destructive power would make it difficult for the base stations to survive even if relocated.
Forget it, I'll make multiple preparations."
Although it was troublesome, problems had to be solved. Moreover, this change made Ding Yun feel that the future was precarious and generated a sense of urgency.
Therefore, she immediately decided that not only would she make multiple contingency plans for the Western Continent, but she would also make secondary and tertiary preparations for other continents and the oceans. After all, judging by the Destruction God-Demon's plan to destroy the world, there would likely be many great battles in the future.
And after a great battle, her base stations would not be safe.
If she didn't make multiple preparations in advance, and if the base stations in some area suffered large-scale damage in the future and couldn't be repaired in time, wouldn't all her efforts be in vain?
For Ding Yun now, the Heavenly Dao network was something she had poured all her heart and soul into. She had even gambled her ability to become a Dao Ancestor on the Heavenly Dao network. Therefore, she absolutely did not want to see this plan fail, nor could she.
Thus, Ding Yun was soon busy again.
She was busy integrating base stations into some spatial nodes on top of the original base stations, integrating small, movable base stations into some primordial spiritual energy, and even directly diving into the River of Destiny, planting base stations into the destinies of some primordial beings that Ding Yun felt could survive this tribulation.
These base stations could be linked together to form secondary Heavenly Dao networks. If the original Heavenly Dao network collapsed on a large scale, these secondary networks could immediately fill the gap.
Ensuring the stability of the entire Heavenly Dao network.
In addition, Ding Yun also set up some local area networks that only covered a certain continent.
As for why she didn't break through as soon as the Heavenly Dao network was complete, it was mainly because for her Heavenly Dao network to be completely formed and to steal the world's authority.
There was still one very important step missing.
That was to invade the World's Law Sea.
In the entire world, the World's Law Sea was equivalent to the world's control room, and the World Origin Sea was equivalent to the world's power room. Controlling the energy was not a big problem, as the world consciousness couldn't directly run away with the World Origin Sea. There was no problem with this.
So the main core was the Law Sea.
The Creation Jade Disk that Ding Yun created could temporarily serve as the World's Law Sea, but it was not the real World's Law Sea. Not only was its use costly, but it could also cause damage to the Creation Jade Disk. Therefore, it was natural to avoid using it as much as possible.
If used, it should be at a critical moment.
And invading the World's Law Sea was not something that could be done whenever one wished. An appropriate opportunity had to be found. With her previous experience of entering the World's Law Sea, Ding Yun knew very well that the best times to invade the World's Law Sea were two: one was when the world suffered a severe blow, and the other was the period when the world's tribulation was about to end but had not yet completely ended.
Both of these opportunities required waiting.
So, Ding Yun could only work to maintain the framework of her Heavenly Dao network from suffering major damage while waiting for the opportunity. The Destruction God-Demon's plan to destroy the world was not entirely disadvantageous to her. It could be considered a mix of good and bad. The disadvantage was that it affected the safety of her base stations, while the advantage was that it advanced the tribulation.
It even allowed Ding Yun to see the possibility of this Eternal World suffering a severe blow during the next tribulation period, when it was about to end but not yet completely over.
That would undoubtedly increase the probability of Ding Yun's plan succeeding.
This was also why Ding Yun, after understanding the situation, was only a little worried and did not completely eliminate the Destruction God-Demon, this unstable factor.
A useful unstable factor could also be used as a chess piece, but one needed to be careful.
...
Ding Yun's busyness
Did not prevent the emergence of the other three fierce beasts.
With Ji Du's efforts, except for the Central Continent where the Qilin had always guarded the earth and it was difficult to bury and nurture fierce beasts, the fierce beasts buried and nurtured on the other three continents for thousands of Yuan Hui were all successfully released.
They then began to sweep across the land.
Wherever Chaos passed, all things were dissolved by the chaotic energy emanating from its body, and then transformed into primordial chaotic energy to be absorbed by it, increasing its cultivation. This was the innate talent of the Chaos fierce beast, or perhaps a talent inherited from the origin of the Chaos God-Demon. Chaos could be differentiated into Yin and Yang and generate all things.
Naturally, it could also dissolve all things and return them to chaos.
Qiong Qi was bloodthirsty. Wherever it passed, nothing was left unharmed, and nothing was undamaged. Life with lower cultivation would have their souls corroded by its murderous aura, either helping it to kill or falling into a state of mutual slaughter.
Taotie was not greedy for killing. It simply liked to charge forward and cause destruction everywhere. Its destruction was quite significant. For example, as soon as it was born, it directly rushed into a place on the Southern Continent that did not resemble the interior of a volcano.
It triggered the origin of the volcano, causing the volcano to erupt.
Afterward, it continued to trample on earth脈, causing large-scale earthquakes, roaring water脈, causing floods, and even colliding with the ocean eyes, causing tsunamis to sweep across continents tens of thousands of light-years away.
In short, none of the four fierce beasts were easy to deal with.
As soon as they were born, they plunged the world into chaos.
