Chapter 1 Changes in the Great Wilderness

The Great Wilderness—

Even with the changes to the South Sea seal, a massive anomaly still emerged. The entire sky churned, revealing countless yellow auspicious clouds, swirling and flowing, stretching for thousands of miles without end, almost swallowing, occupying, and even replacing the entire firmament.

It was a magnificent sight beyond description.

It stirred up chaotic Yuan Qi currents, shifting and changing endlessly, sometimes seeming to emanate boundless sword Qi. Although invisible to the naked eye, one could clearly feel an intense, piercing pain in the center of their brow, as if an incomparably sharp sword intent was constantly flowing.

The Land of Myriad Laws' End—

The Heavenly Dao, which had once sought to devour Fuxi and merge with him, finally found another unlucky soul who had strayed into this place after that damned Fuxi ran off. Successfully occupying the body, it examined its own hands and feet, feeling that after stepping into the outside world, the heavens and earth were vast, allowing it to roam freely. It would first challenge the Ten Peaks to establish its name!

Or perhaps start from below the Ten Peaks.

Starting with the Four Seas, it couldn't touch Nüwa, so it would start with Houtu.

Hmph, as long as it avoided that Fuxi.

What place in this world couldn't it go?

"Hahahaha, I am the Heavenly Dao, I am the embodiment of the Great Dao! I may not be among the Ten Peaks, but I am not inferior in the slightest!"

After accumulating strength and biding its time for thousands of years,

It finally found a time when that disaster star wasn't around, filled with the ambition of laughing towards the sky and venturing forth.

Just as it was laughing wildly, it stepped out and saw a magnificent and vast scene above the sky, where everything was like a sword, and Xuanhuang Qi surged.

Suddenly, for some unknown reason, it felt an extreme chill in its heart.

The piercing pain in its brow almost made its brain ache.

Forcing it to stop just as it stepped out of the Land of Myriad Laws' End.

It couldn't land. Who was this?!

Why, why was this person even more dangerous than Fuxi?

Why did this person restrain it even more than it restrained itself?

It was as if a single sword strike would return it to its primordial state.

Its forehead was covered in cold sweat. It remained frozen in place for a full hour before slowly retracting its right foot and retreating: "It seems, this outside world is still too dangerous. It's too risky for me to go out now, too risky."

"I'll go back and calm down for a while."

"And then make plans."

"It's not that I'm afraid of you, it's just that I always seek stability in my actions."

"That's all! That's all!"

At that moment, the clouds filling the sky, the clamorous and magnificent, vast and winding yellow clouds, suddenly dissipated, transforming into countless flowers falling from the sky, landing on all living beings, falling into the mountains, rivers, and seas. Although beautiful beyond compare, they were like dream bubbles, suddenly vanishing without a trace, dissipating into nothingness.

Mount Tian Di.

Di Jun reached out his hand, and yellow flowers reversed direction, flying towards the sky, landing on the massive mountain range pulled by pure stars, disappearing without a trace. Only the one that landed in Di Jun's hand did not dissipate into a dream bubble but slowly rotated, presenting a beauty that simultaneously existed in reality and illusion.

Di Jun was thoughtful.

"...【Reality】authority."

Turning his head, he saw that Yu the Great, Si Wenming, was still tied up.

Then, as he did on days when falling snow filled the sky, he opened his mouth, tilted his head, caught the flowers with his mouth, and smacked his lips, regretting, "It's really a pity, they don't have any taste."

"What taste should flowers have?"

Yu the Great said triumphantly, "Hahaha, that's because you don't understand."

"Ah Yuan used hundreds of kinds of flowers and honey to make a particularly delicious dessert before."

"It's a pity, ah, pity I only ate it once."

"You say so many kinds of flowers, from the looks of them, they are very, very similar to the flowers that Ah Yuan picked out back then, almost exactly the same, it's just a pity, eating them is not as good as eating a mouthful of snowflakes, this is really tasteless."

"Hey, do you think these flowers might be from Ah Yuan?"

The Heavenly Emperor did not answer, but said, "Do you know the origin of these flowers?"

Yu the Great raised his eyebrows carelessly, "They grow on flower trees, they taste good, and the honey they make is also delicious."

"But unfortunately."

"Ah Yuan wasn't even a match for a honey demon from the Great Wilderness at the time, and it was hard for him to eat so many strange species from the mountains and seas, but it's a pity, he couldn't handle the nourishment, his body couldn't dissolve those medicines and medicinal properties in a short period of time."

The Heavenly Emperor shook his head regretfully.

Seeming to think that this king of the human race was too lacking in elegance.

Yu the Great opened his mouth to catch these tasteless flowers, seemingly finding it very fun.

He also said, "As for the origin, most of these flowers are used by some tribes during farewells."

"To bid farewell to important people, because they want others to make way for the souls of the tribe's heroes. Everyone has to die eventually. When they die, their eyes can't see the road in the world. Only by using things they can't see can they guide the way, so the fragrance of flowers is one of them. The place where the flowers bloom is the blessing of the farewell-giver to the departed."

"It means the sky is high and the earth is wide, let you roam freely."

"I saw hundreds of kinds of flowers, and the tribal rituals recorded in the *Classic of Mountains and Seas* are all here."

"It should be someone very important to him who left..."

Yu the Great said worriedly, "It wouldn't really be Ah Yuan, would it?"

"Tsk, that guy, wouldn't he be crying?"

The Heavenly Emperor looked at the infinitely mysterious creation in his hand, between illusion and reality, and said plainly:

"I think it shouldn't be him."

Yu the Great raised his eyebrows, and retorted unconvinced, "Not Ah Yuan? How do you know it's not Ah Yuan?"

The man's strange desire to win was successfully activated at this time.

"Let me tell you, you can't just observe so many kinds of flowers, you are the Heavenly Emperor, but do you know who knows the structure of these flowers best?" Without waiting for Di Jun to answer, Yu the Great had already raised his head triumphantly, and said loudly: "Of course it's—the chef!"

"Because the chef has to process ingredients."

"You have to know very well which parts of these things are edible and which parts are not."

"If there is a slight mistake in the flower, it may bring life danger."

"In order to prevent eating the wrong thing and dying directly, in our era, chefs were basically knowledgeable and talented, cough, at least in terms of identifying species, no one could be smarter than them, and Ah Yuan is the most powerful of these people."

"So, look!"

Yu the Great raised his head and pointed to the flowers all over the sky with his chin: "These many flowers are all lifelike, and each one meets the requirements of the past tribes for offering sacrifices to the dead. Only those who have personally experienced that era, personally traveled through the human tribes of that era, and also clearly understand the appearance and legends of these flowers can do it."

Di Jun's expression remained unchanged, but he nodded slightly: "...There is some truth to it."

The triumphant Yu the Great said, "So I'm telling you, don't underestimate our Ah Yuan."

"In this world, the only ones who still remember these things and can still do these things are him."

"Although why are there also rice flowers and wheat sprouts in here?"

Yu the Great, who had finally succeeded in persuading Di Jun once again, realized belatedly, "Oh right."

"Why did you say that this couldn't have been done by Ah Yuan?"

"You weren't like this before."

Then he saw a faint smile appear on the Heavenly Emperor's face, and he said in a calm tone:

"This thing is between reality and illusion. Only the unique authority of the Turbid World, 【Reality】, can do it."

"By the way, that Reality is at the level of the Ten Peaks."

"That is, a Dao Fruit realm whose strength is still above yours."

"Well, I see."

Yu the Great was thoughtful, and then said, "So what?"

The god general who was boiling tea next to him was helpless.

Don't you understand anything?!

Don't put on such an expression as if you have seen through everything!

The Heavenly Emperor seemed to have long been accustomed to Yu the Great's character, and said calmly, "If this matter was really done by Wei Yuan, then it also means that he has killed 【Reality】, and he did so under the extreme circumstances that the entire South Sea is now completely blocked by the Turbid World's aura."

"Killed 【Reality】."

Yu the Great still didn't quite understand.

But for some reason, he faintly felt a shuddering and terrifying feeling from the Heavenly Emperor, who was facing away from him and overlooking the yellow auspicious clouds flowing below. His wild intuition even made him feel that his hair was standing on end.

"So, so what?"

The Heavenly Emperor stood with his hands behind his back, and said calmly, "I once pursued 【Reality】 and allowed it to survive."

He lowered his eyes to look at Yu the Great.

Yu the Great's scalp tingled.

He saw the corners of Di Jun's mouth curl up slightly: "Thank you, Si Wenming."

"I am looking forward to the decisive battle with Wei Yuan even more."

"This heart and this thought, I haven't felt this happy for thousands of years."

Yu the Great's face was stiff.

Ah Yuan, listen to me...

He coughed and said stiffly, "Cough cough, this, I suddenly feel that it, it may not be?"

"Maybe..."

"Maybe you can fight the guy who killed the Turbid World Thunder God first, right?"

The Heavenly Emperor nodded and said, "What you said makes sense."

Yu the Great chuckled twice and said, "Yes, yes, yes."

"That's right, Ah Yuan said, before eating a big meal, you have to eat something else to whet your appetite."

"Ah, hahaha, the one who defeated Thunder Lord must also be an extremely powerful existence!"

"Fight him first, and then fight Ah Yuan."

"It can't be that that one is also Ah Yuan, hahaha."

The Heavenly Emperor looked at the yellow clouds stretching for tens of thousands of miles outside, and said calmly, "If that's the case."

"That would be the best."

...........................

Turbid World—

The sleeping Turbid World Great Lord slowly opened his eyes.

"·····【Reality】, has also fallen?"

His eyes slightly looked towards the direction of the Clear World South Sea. The events that happened in that extremely distant direction were reflected in his eyes, but the yellow sky, winding and stretching, with a sword across it, made him feel vaguely familiar. He felt in his heart and subconsciously looked at his right hand.

He recalled the swordsman from the human world who had broken into the core of the Turbid World with a single sword more than a thousand years ago.

And who had calmly left after slashing a sword at him.

"It's been more than a thousand years."

"Have you finally grown to this level?"

The Turbid World Great Lord lowered his eyes calmly and said, "Do you think he will let me down?"

"Hún Tiān."

He casually stretched out his palm and slightly clenched his five fingers, sending out a Heavenly Secret. The Heavenly Secret flowed and changed, crossing countless worlds, and appeared outside a country in the Divine Era Four Seas. There, Turbid World Fuxi, dressed in a green shirt with a cold expression, lowered his eyes with a cold face—he was ordered to hunt down and find the whereabouts of the 【Turbid World Earth】.

But for some unknown reason, the aura of the Turbid World Earth was sometimes clear and sometimes blurred.

He had been chasing all the way, but had not been able to find it immediately.

Looking at this dilapidated house, he saw the Heavenly Secret before him—

Past scenes emerged.

There was a tall monk holding a Zen staff and walking calmly, and a fat old man lying on his side on a bluestone, sleeping soundly. The young and clear Shakya, and finally the eyes of the Turbid World Fuxi fell on the man who seemed to be having a dream there, seeing his tall stature and the unique karma of the Turbid World Earth emanating from his whole body.

The Turbid World Fuxi in the green shirt slightly raised his eyes, and his mouth cracked open, revealing sharp teeth.

"Found you..."

"Earth."

Suddenly, the voice of the Turbid World Great Lord came to his ears—

"The search for the Turbid World Earth will be temporarily suspended."

The cold voice said, "【Reality】 has fallen, and Zhurong has changed."

"Go to the South Sea."

"After you return, I will pardon you."

The eyes of the Turbid World Fuxi lit up slightly, and he responded calmly:

"Yes."
