Chapter 71: Nuwa Mends the Sky, the Lich Calamity Ends
The final battle between the Lich King and the Demon King has finally come to an end, but Di Jun is unwilling to accept defeat. He self-destructs and severely injures the phantom of Pangu, causing the phantom of Pangu to disintegrate. All twelve Ancestral Witches are seriously injured. Seeing Di Jun self-destruct and perish, Taiyi follows closely behind. However, Taiyi does not rush towards the twelve Ancestral Witches, but instead rushes straight towards Mount Buzhou, the pillar supporting the sky.
As Taiyi revealed himself, the entire primordial world, which had been supporting it since the beginning of time, suddenly shattered. Countless extraterrestrial weak waters poured down, drowning countless living beings. The primordial continent also began to separate, losing its pillar supporting the sky. The primordial world began to merge, and everyone felt that the end of the primordial world had come.
Seeing this scene, the Sages of the Heavens, Tongtian, and Houtu, who were still in a standoff, could no longer care about anything else and used all their skills to save the prehistoric world. Even Zhen Yuanzi, who had been indifferent to the war between the Lich King and the Demon King, came.
Yuanshi used the Pangu Banner to block the gap in the sky, preventing the Weak Water from pouring into the Primordial World. Tongtian activated the Four Swords of Zhuxian to stabilize the four corners of the Primordial World. The others used their treasures to save the living beings on the ground as much as possible. With the efforts of all the powerful beings, the Primordial World, which was on the verge of collapse, was finally temporarily stabilized.
However, everyone fell into deep thought as they looked at the gap blocked by the Pangu Banner. If this gap was not filled, everything would be in vain. They couldn't let Yuanshi keep blocking it with the Pangu Banner forever, could they?
Just when everyone was at a loss, Xuan Chu and Hong Jun arrived.
"Greetings, Master!" The Six Sages of Heaven bowed to Hongjun.
"Greetings, Uncle (Teacher, Ancestor of the Witches)," the Witch Clan bowed to Xuan Chu.
"No need for such formalities!" Xuan Chu and Hong Jun said.
Hongjun looked at the gap in the sky and said to Xuan Chu, "Fellow Daoist Xuan Chu, we can discuss how to clean up this mess later. The most urgent task is to fill this gap and stabilize the prehistoric world, otherwise the entire prehistoric world will be destroyed."
"That's only right!" Xuan Chu nodded and said, "Hongjun, you handle this matter."
"Good!" Hongjun nodded, then took out the Qiankun Cauldron and the Five-Colored Divine Stone and said to Nuwa, "Nuwa, you are skilled in the laws of creation, and this task of mending the sky is indispensable to you. These are the innate rare Five-Colored Divine Stone and the innate supreme treasure Qiankun Cauldron. You should use the Qiankun Cauldron to refine the Five-Colored Divine Stone for the purpose of mending the sky."
"Disciple receives the decree!" Nuwa responded and took the Qiankun Cauldron and the Five-Colored Divine Stone, beginning the refining process.
Forty-nine years later, the five-colored divine stone finally transformed into a pot of five-colored liquid in the Qiankun Cauldron. Nuwa flew into the air and said to Yuanshi, "Senior Brother Yuanshi, please move the Pangu Banner so that I can patch up this gap."
"Good!" Primordial cast the spell and retrieved the Pangu Banner. Without the Pangu Banner blocking the flow, the Weak Water from beyond the heavens poured down again. Nuwa dared not delay and quickly turned the sky upside down.
The sky has been repaired, but without the pillar supporting it, the primordial world is still in danger of closing up again. It is currently only being held together by the four swords of the Zhuxian Sword that Tongtian has mastered. If a new pillar supporting the primordial world is not found soon, the primordial world will close up again when Tongtian is exhausted.
"Minghe, there is a primordial creature in the North Sea called the North Sea Black Turtle. Mi Su, go quickly and retrieve its four limbs to serve as a new pillar supporting the sky." Xuan Chu did not take the merit of mending the sky because he knew that the materials for mending the sky were all in Hongjun's hands, and he could not let the merit of stabilizing the prehistoric world go to Xuanmen for nothing. So he sent Minghe. The reason why he did not send anyone else was that although retrieving the Black Turtle's four limbs would benefit the prehistoric world, it would also be tainted by karma. Minghe was least afraid of karma, so only Minghe was the most suitable candidate.
"Disciple obeys the decree!" Styx responded and flew towards the North Sea. Hongjun saw this but didn't say anything. After all, the Xuanmen had already obtained the merit of mending the heavens. If he was too greedy, it would only provoke Xuanchu's anger. With Buzhou Mountain broken, the Heavenly Dao's control over the prehistoric world had decreased. Now, in the prehistoric world, Hongjun was no longer confident that he could suppress Xuanchu.
"Teacher, these are the limbs of the Xuan Turtle. I have brought them." Soon, Styx returned with the limbs of the Xuan Turtle and handed them to Xuan Chu.
Xuan Chu nodded, took the four limbs of the Xuan Turtle, and used the Law of Quantity to refine the limbs into four pillars supporting the sky. With a wave of his hand, Xuan Chu sent the four pillars flying to the four corners of the prehistoric world to stabilize it.
With the primordial world stabilizing, Tongtian took the opportunity to reclaim the Four Swords of Zhuxian.
However, after this change, the prehistoric continent formed a pattern of high in the west and low in the east, and the originally complete prehistoric continent was divided into four, forming the four major continents: East Sheng Shenzhou, South Zhanbuzhou, North Juluzhou, and West Niuhezhou.
After the world was stabilized, merits were bestowed from the heavens. All those who contributed to this calamity received corresponding rewards of merit. Among them, Nuwa, who was the protagonist of mending the sky, and Styx, who retrieved the limbs of the Xuan Turtle, received the most merits.
After stabilizing the prehistoric world once again, the next step was to deal with the Wu and Yao tribes. Logically speaking, Di Jun, Tai Yi, and other high-ranking members of the Yao tribe had all perished, while the Wu tribe, apart from the loss of some great witches, still had the twelve ancestral witches, including Hou Yi, who was severely injured but still alive. The Wu tribe should have been the ultimate winners and should have become the new protagonists of the prehistoric world. However, the Great Dao and the Heavenly Dao had already made their decisions regarding the future protagonists of the prehistoric world. The Yao tribe was easier to deal with, as they were the losers and dared not object to any treatment. But the Wu tribe was a different story. The most crucial thing was how to get the Wu tribe to willingly withdraw from the competition for the protagonists of the prehistoric world.
"Fellow Daoist Xuanchu, we should have a good discussion about the future of the Primordial World," Hongjun said to Xuanchu. Hongjun understood very well that the Wu Clan would follow Xuanchu's lead, and as long as he and Xuanchu reached an agreement, the future of the Primordial World would be settled.
Xuan Chu nodded and said, "Okay, let's have a good talk."
"Nuwa and Fuxi, you two should take the demon race back to the Thirty-Third Heaven and await final judgment." Seeing that Xuan Chu agreed, Hongjun instructed Nuwa and Fuxi, the two remaining demon race emperors, to take the demon race back to the Thirty-Third Heaven.
"Twelve Ancestral Witches, heed my command! Lead the Witch Clan back to the Pangu Palace!" Xuan Chu also ordered the Twelve Ancestral Witches to lead the Witch Clan away first.
After the Wu and Yao clans left, Xuan Chu and Hong Jun came to Chaos. Even the Heavenly Dao Saints could not participate in such a meeting of powerful figures.
"Fellow Daoist Xuan Chu, the Wu Clan must withdraw from the struggle for the protagonist of the Primordial World." After arriving in Chaos, Hong Jun went straight to the point and told Xuan Chu that the Wu Clan must withdraw from the struggle for the protagonist of the Primordial World.
"Heh!" Xuan Chu sneered, "Hongjun, are you confused? The Lich-Demon Tribulation was originally a struggle between the Lich and Demon races to determine the protagonist of heaven and earth. Now that the Demon race has been defeated and the Lich race has won, the Lich race should rightfully become the new protagonist of heaven and earth. Now you want to make the Lich race withdraw with just a few words? On what basis?"
"Fellow Daoist Xuanchu, let me tell you the truth, the human race is the future of the primordial world. This is the will of Heaven and the Great Dao. You have been laying the groundwork for the human race for many years, and I believe you are well aware of this as well," Hongjun said to Xuanchu in an unquestionable tone.
Xuan Chu shook his head and said, "Hongjun, although I have plans within the human race, you must understand that the Wu race is my foundation. If the Wu race becomes the protagonist of heaven and earth, I will gain far more benefits. Why do you think I should abandon the Wu race and choose the human race?"
The human race is the future protagonist of the prehistoric world, and Xuan Chu is certainly aware of this. In fact, from the very beginning, Xuan Chu never intended for the Wu race to become the protagonist of the world. The protagonist of the prehistoric world must conform to the interests of all forces. The Wu race cannot do this, so the Great Dao will not support it. The reason why Xuan Chu is arguing with Hong Jun here is simply to try to gain some benefits. He can't just make the Wu race give up the results he has achieved by saying that the Great Dao does not support it, can he?
