Chapter 140 Authentic birth
However, the most excited person was not the celestial beings and Buddhas, but the Goddess Pingxin.
It should be noted that Lady Pingxin was originally the ancestral witch Houtu. After her physical body was transformed into a reincarnation, it was truly astonishing. Her true spirit, under the blessing of immeasurable merit, was fortunate enough to gain a sliver of life and successfully condensed into a primordial spirit.
Moreover, with its primordial spirit as the core, immeasurable merit condenses a mysterious and yellow divine body formed from merit.
In the primordial world, merit, fortune, and the primordial chaos are intricately and closely connected.
In the realm of immortals and humans, fortune is more important than merit; but in the primordial world, the situation is completely reversed—merit is superior to fortune.
In the realm of immortals and humans, merit is the fortune that the three paths absorb after they have obtained the power to govern the world; but in the primordial world, without great fortune, it is impossible to obtain merit.
Merit is actually a product formed after a high degree of condensation of fortune.
In two completely different worlds, merit and fortune occupy diametrically opposed positions.
The reason for this phenomenon is actually quite simple; it is simply due to the vast difference in the fundamental strength of these two worlds.
Within the realm of immortals and humans, the Great Dao is still in the initial stage of evolving its fundamental laws. The core objective of this stage is to promote the prosperity of the entire world.
Only when the world becomes prosperous and thriving can it further evolve numerous complex and diverse fundamental laws.
If the Great Dao of the Immortal Realm possessed sufficient wisdom, it might not need to undergo such a long process of world evolution at all. Just like Zhao Xuan, who firmly grasped the endless laws in his own hands, that would be the true meaning of a great cultivator.
To some extent, using the methods of creation to evolve the world and relying on the laws of world evolution is a measure that is only taken out of desperation.
Not all laws possess the potential and possibility to be promoted to primordial laws. Using the laws of the world to drive the evolution of laws is actually a rather foolish approach.
In a sense, it employs an exhaustive method.
In other words, this method requires allowing the laws to evolve freely into all possible combinations, letting those endless laws evolve and merge together on their own.
Then, select the best parts from them, that is, those laws that have the potential to be promoted to the fundamental laws.
Next, we must rely on the wisdom and power of all living beings to further elevate these selected laws to the level of fundamental laws.
Therefore, the realm of humans and immortals must be a real material world.
The great path must develop naturally. Only in this way can the laws break free from their own limitations and constraints, thus evolving into countless laws.
At the same time, it is necessary to determine the best and most powerful law through fierce competition, based on the almost cruel and ruthless natural law of survival of the fittest.
In this way, most of the governing authority in the human and immortal realms will be dispersed and scattered throughout every corner of this world.
Let all living beings fight and seize these powers. Whoever succeeds in seizing these powers and firmly guards them from being taken away by others is enough to prove that this person is of great use to the Great Dao and has the ability to assist the Great Dao in completing its transformation and evolution towards the fundamental law.
Therefore, in most cases, the human and immortal realms will operate and develop in accordance with the inherent materialistic properties of the material world.
However, Pangu, the great god who created the primordial world, had already successfully mastered three thousand primordial laws. Moreover, by fusing and extracting the essence of these three thousand primordial laws, he completed the transformation into the laws of chaos.
The reason why the great god Pangu created heaven and earth was to promote the further sublimation of the laws of chaos and evolve towards the realm of infinity.
Such a process cannot be left entirely to the world to evolve freely on its own.
After all, the Law of Chaos was meticulously crafted by cultivators with endless effort, and to some extent it already possesses the attribute of eternity.
If left to its own devices, the laws of chaos will only become more tightly intertwined over time, but will never tend towards a state of disorder.
Therefore, the supreme power in the primordial world should be firmly controlled by the consciousness of the Great God Pangu. Only in this way can the order within it be restrained through human intervention, forcing it to evolve towards chaos.
In other words, the original primordial world should have been a completely idealistic world.
The reason is simple: the power of the mind becomes extremely volatile and prone to chaos when it loses the protection of order.
As the saying goes, "It's hard to stay true to your original aspirations, and people's hearts are easily changed," which perfectly describes this situation.
However, in the process of the evolution of the primordial world, another great cultivator intervened.
It forcibly splits the originally unified order and chaos within the laws of chaos into two.
Not only that, but he also used his supreme divine power to condense and sublimate the power of order, ultimately revealing the Heavenly Dao.
Thus, the primordial world had two rulers: the consciousness of Heaven controlled order; the consciousness of Pangu dominated chaos.
These two consciousnesses were destined to be entangled from the very beginning, but for their respective purposes, they had to both fight and cooperate with each other.
For this reason, in the primordial world, the powerful consciousness left behind by the Great God Pangu usually controls the chaotic power and is in a semi-secluded state most of the time.
The order of all things in the world is governed by the consciousness of the Heavenly Dao, making the whole world orderly, just like a material world that operates according to the laws of materialism.
However, once the great calamity arrives, the situation will reverse. The power of order, governed by the consciousness of the Heavenly Dao, will gradually recede, exhibiting a semi-secluded state.
Conversely, the chaotic power controlled by the dormant will of Pangu will awaken, and the primordial world will become a fantasy world that operates according to the rules of idealism.
It is worth mentioning that the reason why order is so powerful is that even the entity that governs order itself must strictly abide by the various rules it has set.
It is precisely because of these constraints that beings like Pangu yearn to break free from the shackles of order.
For those cultivators who are determined to pursue the pinnacle of the Great Dao, this is undoubtedly a difficult journey of self-transcendence.
For example, the mythological laws that Zhao Xuan has mastered contain some powers with an orderly nature.
When he transforms into a mythical figure, he gains access to the unique laws governed by that mythical figure.
However, this force of order must itself follow a specific set of rules.
He can use the laws mastered by a mythical figure by transforming into that figure, but conversely, if Zhao Xuan wants to use the power of a specific law, he must transform into the corresponding mythical figure.
Only in this way can he wield the power of this law.
However, once Zhao Xuan successfully breaks through to the Limitless level, this restriction will be completely broken.
At that time, he will be able to freely mobilize the power of any law at will, no longer bound by the condition of transforming into a mythical figure.
This is why the Xuanhuang substance, which is regarded as the ultimate substance in the human-immortal realm, is basically difficult to condense and take shape in the primordial world.
This is because the energy flow and laws of the primordial world are very different from those of the former.
However, the power of merit is golden in color and also possesses a certain degree of ability to resist and dissolve all kinds of magic.
As merit accumulates and solidifies, when it reaches a certain level, the originally dazzling golden color will gradually turn dark and emit a luster similar to that of a dark yellow.
For this reason, the primordial world refers to this body of merit condensed to the extreme as the Xuanhuang Divine Body.
Although the Xuanhuang Divine Body is different from the Xuanhuang Body that Zhao Xuan possesses, which is entirely formed from Xuanhuang matter.
While the Xuanhuang Divine Body, formed from the condensation of Xuanhuang matter, possesses the indestructible and unbreakable properties of the Xuanhuang Dharma Body, it is still inferior to the Xuanhuang Divine Body, despite its power.
However, the Xuanhuang Divine Body, formed by condensing merit to its ultimate form, also possesses some of the unique wonders of the Xuanhuang Dharma Body, which is formed by the aggregation of Xuanhuang matter, and is worthy of the name "Xuanhuang".
Especially in terms of defense and load-bearing capacity, it surpasses even the incomparably powerful Ancestral Witch body.
Houtu, who possesses the Xuanhuang Divine Body, the Primordial Spirit, and the power of the Earthly Reincarnation, has essentially become a saint with all three treasures, namely the legendary Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.
If it weren't for the Dao Ancestor's intervention using the power of the Heavenly Dao, Houtu would undoubtedly be the number one saint under the Dao Ancestor.
Admittedly, the Sage Taiqing did indeed reap considerable benefits during this great calamity, but if we were to say who benefited the most during this great calamity, it would undoubtedly be Houtu.
As the Great Tribulation progressed, the power of the laws controlled by Pangu's consciousness grew stronger, and the suppression of the Heavenly Dao consciousness intensified accordingly.
Therefore, in the early stages of the Great Tribulation, when Zhao Xuan transformed into the form of the Candle Dragon and manipulated the timeline, the Heavenly Dao was still able to reveal its Eye of Heaven to explore the entire prehistoric world; but when Rahu appeared, it could only mobilize those spiritual substances to enhance the power of the Supreme Saint.
With the appearance of Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, the human race rose to prominence, humanity revived, and the Great Tribulation intensified.
The Heavenly Dao was powerless to intervene directly; the only thing it could do was to bestow its own consciousness upon the body of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.
At this point, Heaven has essentially exhausted all the means it can employ, and has almost no power left to participate in this great calamity.
For a long time, both the Way of Earth and the Way of Humanity were suppressed by the Way of Heaven, but as the power of the Way of Heaven weakened, they finally got a chance to be freed.
Humanity had already quietly revived when the current emperor, Li Shimin, embarked on the path of cultivation. And when the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors descended to earth one after another, humanity was basically freed from its constraints and regained its freedom.
Now, the process of the Great Tribulation has progressed to this point, and the Heavenly Way is almost at its wit's end.
Faced with such a predicament, it had no other choice but to do its best to shrink its remaining power and accelerate its integration with the Dao Ancestor.
Because once the fusion is successfully completed, it can break through all laws with its unparalleled power.
At the same time, the power originally used to suppress the tunnels returned to its original source, causing the tunnels to break free of their shackles.
However, the way of the earth and the way of humanity are different.
The power of humanity is still controlled by the Dao Ancestor and the Supreme Saint, and its power is also distributed among the nine Human Emperors. Each Human Emperor's power is relatively limited.
However, the way of the earth and the way of humanity are worlds apart.
In some ways, the underground passage is almost inextricably linked to Consort Pingxin, the two being as one.
The status of Lady Pingxin in the Daoist realm was so revered that it even surpassed that of the Dao Ancestor in the Heavenly Dao.
Although Empress Pingxin's integration with the Earthly Dao was more complete, the power contained within the Earthly Dao was ultimately no match for the Heavenly Dao, which had been enlightened by a great cultivator.
This is why, although Lady Pingxin is the ruler of the earth, her strength is still slightly inferior to that of the Dao Ancestor.
Just as Zhao Xuan successfully controlled the earth-shattering Pangu phantom to appear in the world and further differentiated into the twelve Ancestral Witches, this series of actions undoubtedly touched the limit that Empress Pingxin could tolerate.
Someone like Consort Pingxin could not possibly be a fool.
Even though the pervasive aura of calamity might obscure some of her judgment, as long as she hasn't completely lost her ability to perceive the situation, she can still sense that a mysterious figure is secretly manipulating everything in this great calamity of the Journey to the West.
Empress Pingxin was not entirely unable to accept the actions of the mastermind behind the scenes who used the name of the Ancestral Witch to create chaos in the prehistoric world.
After all, the primordial world is a place full of conflict and uncertainty.
However, she would never tolerate the other party so brazenly pinning the blame on them, especially on the brothers who had already given their lives.
This blatant attempt to frame someone has enraged Consort Pingxin.
Without hesitation, she led the gods of the underworld in a grand procession straight to the Immortal Realm.
The instant Empress Pingxin stepped into the Immortal Realm, a deafening roar suddenly resounded in the hearts of countless beings throughout the primordial world. It was like the sound of a great bell from ancient times, deafening and terrifying.
The deafening roar, like a thunderclap, quickly spread to every corner. Whether it was birds and beasts in the high mountains and deep seas, aquatic creatures and monsters in the vast ocean, or ordinary people in the human world, they could all clearly feel a fury that could destroy everything.
At the same time, the entire primordial world seemed to be shrouded in a thick layer of gloom, and the calamity aura that was already pervasive became several times more intense in an instant, like a surging tide.
These gray auras of calamity were no longer merely ethereal entities; they began to converge and condense, gradually transforming into ferocious beasts with grotesque faces and bared fangs.
These ferocious beasts, formed from the primordial energy of calamity, each exuded a chilling and malevolent aura.
They roamed and surged freely in the primordial world, displaying their terror and evil to the fullest.
Its purpose is to make all things in the world feel endless fear and despair, thereby dragging all living beings into this terrible calamity.
