Heaven and earth were a void. Chaotic Qi churned and raged. After the absolute silence of the Taiyi Era, the Primordial Era, which had just begun to see Qi, produced a rather violent Qi of vitality. The Three Thousand Daira sensed the Heaven and Earth and nurtured the Ancestral Qi. Heaven and earth were also influenced by Daira and nurtured the Chaotic Qi that contained all the Ancestral Qi but was not suppressed by the Great Dao.
Daira used its own Great Dao to organize the Qi of vitality. Thus, the Great Dao contained within the Ancestral Qi was orderly.
The Chaotic Qi was formed from the Three Thousand Ancestral Qi. There was no unified Great Dao to control it. Thus, just like the later generations' impression of the Chaos, the Chaotic Qi was extremely dangerous and terrifying.
The ordinary Daira could only be trapped in the Chaos. It used its Ancestral Qi to suppress the surroundings. The universe and space stirred up all kinds of terrifying space-time storms. The Chaotic Qi sometimes evolved into a Chaotic Hole that destroyed everything, and sometimes a huge storm.
Only the place enveloped by Daira's Ancestral Qi was somewhat peaceful.
Daira's Fruit of Way extracted Connate Qi from the surrounding Chaos to nourish its own Ancestral Qi. Within the Ancestral Qi, there was often a blurry shadow floating. The figure in the Qi of vitality was unstable, but it was slowly inhaling and exhaling the Chaotic Qi. Such Chaotic Embryos could be called Fiendgods. They could be found throughout the Primordial Era. Upon closer inspection, one could see that these Fiendgods' Embryos were blurry and had yet to take shape.
However, this was enough to show that it was the end of the Primordial Era. The Qi gathered into a form and was about to be nurtured.
The Chaos had yet to take shape. Everything with form would be eroded and decomposed by the Chaos. However, when the Three Thousand Chaotic Fiendgods were born, the Chaos would gradually lose its untamable and violent nature under their suppression. It would begin to nurture a physical form. This was the state of the next Primordial Era.
River Styx came to the edge of a huge Chaotic Storm. In front of him was a huge Chaotic Hole that stirred the universe and space into Chaos. It was like a huge whirlpool that inhaled and exhaled Qi of vitality. River Styx calculated for a while at the edge of the Chaotic Hole. The Chaotic Qi was constantly changing. The entire Primordial Era was in a state of disorder.
Other than the Three Thousand Chaotic Fiendgods, there was no fixed benchmark.
There was no basis for calculation in such an unpredictable state. Any calculation had to follow certain rules. All calculations were based on grasping the variables and invariants. Using the invariants as the benchmark, one could grasp the variables through the understanding of the laws of change.
But in the Primal Chaos, everything was changing violently without any pattern.
Fortunately, there were still some relatively constant things. The three thousand Chaos Demons were like three thousand nails hammered into the chaos, preventing the chaos from changing beyond Daira's control.
What Daira needed was Pangu's creation of the world. If there were no constraints in the Chaos, all tangible things would not be able to exist. Perhaps the Chaos would evolve into the world of the next era on its own. Everything was possible in the Chaos, and it was not impossible to suddenly give birth to a god that contained all of the Chaos.
The Absolute Beginning Era was an era with endless possibilities. Chaos contained everything, but there was no order.
With his own invariants as the benchmark, River Styx used the Chaos Algorithm to create the algorithm model of the huge Chaotic Hole before him. He then approached the Chaotic Hole carefully. Yuantu and Avici's sword light slashed at the Chaotic Hole. The infinite variables collapsed, and the Chaotic Qi was divided into Yin and Yang. It was just like Pangu's creation of the world, and the huge Chaotic Hole collapsed into a black hole.
The entire Primal Chaos shook.
The Chaos collapsed, and everything that it contained formed a state of order again. The Chaotic Hole spewed out endless Light of the Great Path, and it opened up an orderly world. A majestic Taoist Palace stood in the center of the world, and countless mysterious sounds came from it. It was just like the appearance of the Great Path. River Styx took a step forward and arrived before the steps of the palace.
A Taoist Qing Yi stood beside the door of the palace. He nodded at River Styx and said, "Elder Ancestor, you did not need me to ring the bell to welcome you. You can enter the palace. As expected, you are also a member of the Purple Cloud Palace!"
When River Styx arrived before the palace, the orderly world was crushed by the Primordial Era's Chaotic Sea, and it returned to Chaos.
It was as if River Styx, the Taoist Palace, and the Taoist were crushed by Chaos, and they returned to Chaotic Qi. Then, the huge amount of Chaotic Qi turned back into the deep Chaotic Hole.
But in reality, Chaos contained everything.
For example, this Taoist Palace was the Chaotic Divine Demons, which was also the place where the Great Mediums in Daira discussed matters.
The Great Mediums used unimaginable divine powers to open up a Taoist Palace that was one with Chaos. To an ordinary Daira, this was a Chaotic Hole. Only the Great Mediums could open up Chaos, find the other world on the other side of Chaos, the Purple Cloud Palace, and enter it.
It was like someone writing a program in a Chaotic System to communicate with each other (Purple Cloud Palace). Of course, this program could not work in a Chaotic System, so he messed up the code and turned it into Chaotic Data. All the communication in the program was Chaotic Data, and it could not be recognized. Only when someone created the same code from the Chaotic Data and entered it, and the Chaotic System destroyed the program again, could he find the existence of the program (Purple Cloud Palace).
But this program still existed, and it could even be used for communication. It was just that everything was hidden in Chaos.
"The name of this Purple Cloud Palace is not very impressive, but the threshold is quite high!" River Styx walked up the stairs.
Even for the Great Mediums, there were not many who could find the Purple Cloud Palace in Chaos. How could the other Great Mediums who did not have the ability of River Styx enter the palace? They must have been brought in by this Daoist who stood under the golden bell. River Styx himself was a newbie in Daira. Even with the Three Pure Ones' approval, it was difficult for him to convince the Great Mediums. So he purposely showed off his skills, and it seemed to be working.
"I'm River Styx, a newcomer …" River Styx said humbly. "This is my first time attending a meeting in the Purple Cloud Palace, and I'm not familiar with the way. I hope I'm not late!"
"I'm Guang Chengzi. I've been entrusted by the Great Mediums in the Purple Cloud Palace to be the Bell Receiving Messenger!" Guang Chengzi smiled. "Elder River Styx, please enter … Time cannot be counted in the Chaos. Now that the universe is chaotic, there are no laws of time. There are still a few Daoists who have not arrived. Perhaps they were delayed on the way! The three teachers are inside … they have been waiting for you for a long time! "
"It's good that you're not late. Otherwise, I'd have to go out and start all over again to adjust the time."
River Styx pushed the door open and entered. He saw dozens of dark objects scattered around the hall. There was a swaying green lotus, and beside it was a Bodhi tree that looked like a Buddha. There were also a few dignified Bodhisattvas, Daoists, and ancient Buddhas sitting behind it. There were giants lying down, gods and demons in the form of Kunpeng and True Dragon. At the top was the Three Pure Ones sitting side by side. Behind the Three Pure Ones were many Daira from the Mystic Door. Most of them were in the form of humans. There were also a few ancient gods and a few emperors.
River Styx found a seat in the north and sat down. He looked like a young Daoist, but behind him was a bottomless abyss. It was the Chaos Hole's End.
Sitting next to him was a middle-aged Taoist in black. His face was a little thin and sharp, but behind him was a ferocious Demon God roaring at the sky. The Demon God was full of Evil Qi and looked at Minghe vaguely with an unfriendly look. However, Minghe didn't seem to notice. He moved the seat under his butt closer to him.
River Styx moved closer to him and said, "Demon Rho, you and I are both Master Demon Daozu. We are colleagues. We should be close!"
"Don't give me that …" Luo Hou said with a look of disdain. "Who's your colleague … You stole the Patriarch of the Demonic Dao from me! I don't admit it, do you know that? I don't admit it … and the Devil Path doesn't admit it either. What is a devil? You're not a devil. You're colluding with the Righteous Path. You're a traitor of the Devil Path … "
"The few Daozu Buddhas had a discussion with each other. Sigh! They decided to give my position as the leader of the Devil Path to someone else! "
"Brother Rho, don't worry … I will definitely make our Devil Path flourish!" River Styx smiled and patted Rho's shoulder. He looked like he had a good relationship with his brother …
"What do you mean 'our' and 'yours' … Who is your brother? What do you mean our Devil Path … Mine! Devil Path! " Rho stomped his feet in anger. He pointed at himself and said, "It's mine. I was the one who created the Devil Path. It's all my credit from the beginning … Mine! It has nothing to do with you. These disciples and disciples are all mine. The fate of the Devil Path is also mine … "
"You can go play by yourself!"
"Brother Rho has contributed to the creation of the Devil Path. You must not forget that!" While Rho was stomping his feet in anger, River Styx had already turned around and started lecturing the Devil Path's Daira behind him. "Master Rho has contributed to the Devil Path. You must evaluate him properly. Don't forget your roots. Forgetting the history of the Devil Path is a crime! "
"When the Devil Path was created, the Mystic Door's Three Pure Ones were powerful. There was also the Buddhist Sect's Sakya who was restless. Every time they tried to prove their Dao, they would beat the Devil Path up. Every rising star wanted to step on you and rule the world? It's not that there are no talents in the Devil Path. However, every time a rising star of the Devil Path appeared, there would be people from the Righteous Path who bullied us. "
"It's because we are not united."
"In this conference, we need to set the rules of the Primordial World and set the world view. We, the Devil Path, must be united and push out the world view of the Devil Path universe. If we can't be united, we won't be able to fight for our interests in the conference to divide the Primordial World. I have a map of the Devil Path's Primordial World here. Come … take a look! "
River Styx's vital qi condensed into an array map and distributed it to the Devil Path's Daira.
"The reason why the Devil Path didn't rise under the leadership of Fellow Daoist Rho in the past! It was because we didn't have our base … In other words, we didn't have the Heavenly Mandate of the Devil Path. The Devil Path was shaped as the opposite of the Mystic Door and the Buddhist Sect. It was a tribulation, a difficulty, a foil for them when they reached the Dao. "
"Our whims are all part of their deliberate indulgence. It's a kind of calamity when they recover again."
"Ever since I became the Devil Path's Sect Master, I have been reflecting. Does the Devil Path have a reason to win? We must give ourselves a reason to win, not as a necessary test in the development of things! We must become the inevitable end of the development of things … Therefore, I borrowed the Kunpeng Ancestral Master's Nanming Source to create the foundation and home of the Devil Path in the Primordial Universe! "
"Ruin of End!"
River Styx shook the array map in his hand. The array map in the hands of the Devil Path's Daira evolved into a huge Chaos Abyss. It was a sea eye filled with great destruction, great destruction, and great extinction. The deep sea eye of the Ruin of End devoured everything, bringing with it the aura of primordial destruction.
"Bullsh * t …" Rho was so angry that his hands were trembling. This was blatant slander. When he was developing the Devil Path, Rho had been cautious and conscientious. He had not slacked off for a single day. The Devil Path couldn't rise because their opponents were too strong. How many of them were at the same level as him? There were four who were stronger than him!
He couldn't even defeat one of the Three Pure Ones. Four of them had come to bully him, Rho.
How could he not feel aggrieved?
Now, River Styx was in charge. Relying on the opposite side's power, he erased Rho's imprint and credit. He even wanted to steal the foundation of the Devil Path … Heaven, let him be tyrannical. You're the Heaven in vain! Earth, why is the world so unfair! Not only did the Three Pure Ones bully him everywhere, but they also extended their hands into the Devil Path and supported the Ancestor River Styx to fight against him. Rho was so angry that he beat his chest and stamped his feet …
This was too much!
Seeing that Rho was about to pick up his axe and fight with River Styx, the Primeval of Beginning quickly signaled Guang Chengzi to ring the bell. As the golden bell shook, the four Daoists stood solemnly. Taishang was the first to speak, "It's another Pangu Era. During the Taisu Tribulation, Pangu was born and killed all the Chaotic Gods and Demons. He gathered the Dao Fruits of the Three Thousand Daira and created the Primitive World again."
"We, the Three Pure Ones, have been Pangu more than ten times, but we still don't dare to act on our own."
"Therefore, I invite all Daoists to discuss the laws of the Primitive World and determine the future trend. Now, at the end of the Taichu Era, there should be the first discussion — to determine the appearance of the Primitive World after Pangu created the Heaven."
The Primeval of Beginning held the Dawn Pearl in his hand and shone brightly. Guang Chengzi rang the bell three times, and the Primeval Lord of Great Heavenly Lord of Beginning made a decision, "The first discussion is to determine the Heaven … There is a proposal from the Buddhism: There are a total of 28 Heavens in the Three Realms. Among them, there are six Heavens in the Desire Realm, eighteen Heavens in the Color Realm, and four Heavens in the Colorless Realm. The Mystic Door still proposes 36 Heavens, and the Heaven of Daira is the highest. "
"In addition, there are the Nine Heavens proposed by Daoist Di Jun. The first is Zhongtian, the second is Xiantian, the third is Congtian, the fourth is Gengtian, the fifth is Qiantian, the sixth is Qiantian, the seventh is Xiantian, the eighth is Shentian, and the ninth is Chengtian."
"There are also the Nine Heavens proposed by Daoist Hong Di. That is, the center is called Great Heaven, the east is called Firmament Heaven, the northeast is called Change Heaven, the north is called Dark Heaven, the northwest is called Dark Heaven, the west is called Hao Heaven, the southwest is called Vermilion Heaven, the south is called Min Heaven, and the winter is called Heaven."
"There is also Daoist Houtu's proposal to use the four seasons as the four heavens. Spring is Firmament Heaven, Summer is Hao Heaven, Autumn is Min Heaven, and Winter is Heaven."
"In addition, there is the joint proposal by Daoist Rho and the Buddhist Sect. The Heavens, Dragons, Ghosts, Deities, Constellations, and the Underworld are the masters of the Eight Directions, Up, Down, Sun, and Moon. There are a total of 12 heavens, and the Mahesvara is the highest!"
"There is also the proposal by Great Emperor Ziwei — the Starry Heavens will be the Primordial Starry Heavens and cover the heavens."
"Daoist Taiyi's proposal … the heavens will be one, and there will be no difference in superiority."
"Daoist Queen Mother of the West's proposal is to use the 36 Heavenly Spirits as the heavens."
"There is also the proposal by Daoist Shen Xiao. There are nine Heavenly Heavens. Divine Heavens, Green Heavens, Green Heavens, Red Heavens, Bright Heavens, Jade Heavens, Blue Heavens, Purple Heavens, and Supreme Heavens as the heavens."
After mentioning the worldviews of the Great Mediums, there were also some Heavenly Temples that were not Great Mediums. The Primeval Beginning also reminded the Great Mediums one by one. However, it was impossible for these Heavenly Temples to become the orthodox Primordial World. Only the few Heavens above could become the structure of the Primordial World in the future.
"Fellow Daoists, each hold a Profound Bead and evolve the Heavenly Realm in the Purple Cloud Palace. If the Profound Bead falls, you cannot establish your own Heavenly Realm. The remaining Heavenly Realms of each Heavenly Realm will be merged into one Heavenly Realm. In the future, it will evolve again. It will depend on your fate." The Primeval Lord of Heaven gestured for everyone to start voting.
River Styx did not have his own proposal. The number of Heavenly Realms had nothing to do with him.
Therefore, it did not matter …
The ones who decided the Primordial World's Heavens were either great forces like the Mystic Door of the Buddhist Sect or the leaders of the Emperor Heaven. The structure of the Heavenly Realm was very important to them. It was related to who the future Emperor Heaven's position belonged to. However, during the Pangu Era, River Styx had no intention of coveting the throne of the Emperor Heaven. He simply used his support to make deals with people everywhere.
