Zao Nianjian and Long Tianhuo had already arrived at the peach garden valley, and the two of them went straight to the center of the valley until a vortex appeared out of nowhere, sucking them into it.

“It’s been a long time since anyone visited me last time, so what’s the purpose of you two coming here today?” Despite his status as the oldest human, Zhizun Buxiu’s appearance did not show the slightest bit of age. Instead, he still looked very young, like a man in his early thirties, and his body was much fresher than Zao Nianjian, who already looked very old.

Zao Nianjian and Long Tianhuo respectfully cupped their hands towards Zao Nianjian. “Please forgive us if our arrival disturbs your peace, Senior. However, we have important matters that we must discuss with you, especially since these matters relate to the future of our universe.”

“I didn’t expect that you two already knew about the danger.” Both men were surprised by Zhizun Buxiu’s answer, but their expressions turned serious after he waved his hand and a Qi screen appeared before their eyes, displaying the darkness that had begun to engulf the outer perimeter of their universe.

“As you guys can see, the darkness is the danger you wish to speak to me about, and I have known it for millennia. In fact, I have personally observed it, but I am powerless to stop it from engulfing them, and its speed is increasing with every moment. Sooner or later, the lower realms will be completely swallowed by it, and it will continue to swallow everything up to the supreme realm.

If that happens, this universe will return to its original form, where there are no planets or living creatures, but only emptiness and chaos.”

“Do you know where that darkness comes from, Senior?” Long Tianhuo asked

“Long before this universe was formed, there was only chaos and darkness, but it slowly changed and formed the universe, and the first living creature was born right along with it.”

“The Time Lord.”

“Yes.” Zhizun Buxiu nodded to the two men. “Not long after the Time Lord was born, the second living being was born. The second living being was born from the Chaos itself, and all living beings knew him as the primordial chaos dragon.

The two of them spent billions of years inside the emptiness and darkness until the first planet was formed in this universe, and other living beings began to be born one by one within that planet. Humans, demihumans, beasts, natural races, and demons were born one after another.”

Zao Nianjian and Long Tianhuo were truly shocked to hear that, especially since they never knew for certain about the true history of the formation of their universe. After all, the universe was born billions of years ago, and the history their ancestors left has been constantly changing over time.

Zhizun Buxiu smiled slightly at their reactions. “At that time, all living beings coexisted peacefully and harmoniously, free from chaos. As their numbers grew sufficiently, other planets gradually began to form. All of these planets eventually gathered into one and formed a cluster, and we called it as the supreme realm.

After that, countless planets began to appear in this universe, and all of them were separated into three other groups, the lower, middle, and upper realms. Unfortunately, the birth of these planets had a negative impact on the universe, particularly as the number of living beings continued to increase at a rapid pace, leading to the emergence of negative emotions in their minds.

Their greed, jealousy, and envy caused them to not want to give in to each other, and they continued to compete to be the best among them. Initially, the fight between them was just an ordinary one, but as time progressed, the situation intensified, particularly as many of them gained extraordinary power compared to the others.”

“Gradually, their ordinary battles turned into large-scale wars, and wars continued to occur in various realms, resulting in chaos and destruction on those planets.” Zao Nianjian muttered softly as he gazed at Zhizun Buxiu.

“Yes.” Zhizun Buxiu nodded at Zao Nianjian.

Long Tianhuo abruptly asked Zhizun Buxiu. “What does that have to do with the darkness that engulfed our universe, Senior?”

“Haha.” Zhizun Buxiu laughed at that. “Do you still not understand, little fire dragon? This universe was born from the Chaos, so we can say that the universe and all planets within it are part of its body. What do you think would happen if someone attacked your body?”

“Injuries or even death.”

“That’s right.” Zhizun Buxiu nodded. “When we sustain an injury, we strive to heal ourselves to prevent death, correct? The greed and evil actions of all living beings coupled with the destruction of various planets are harming this universe, and it is no different than harming the Chaos itself. Unfortunately, the Chaos is different from us living creatures, but I don’t know anything about it myself.

However, I can say for sure that it has no intention of recovering everything; instead, it intends to wipe out all living beings because their negative emotions are like chronic diseases that cannot be cured. You both can see the consequences on the screen; it unleashed the darkness to wipe out everything.

Sooner or later, this universe and all living things in it will disappear, and everything will return to darkness and chaos.”

“Isn’t there anything we can do to stop the Chaos from destroying our universe, Senior?”

“We can’t do anything to stop the Chaos.” Zhizun Buxiu answered Zao Nianjian with a shake of his head. “The only living being who can stop the Chaos is its son, the primordial chaos dragon, especially since he is the only one who has chaos abilities. Unfortunately, he died billions of years ago, and the one who killed him was the Time Lord.”

“What?” Both men shouted in shock.

Zao Nianjian then asked Zhizun Buxiu. “Why did the Time Lord kill the primordial chaos dragon? Haven’t they been together for billions of years? That way, their relationship should be very good, right? Moreover, he or she is the first living being, so he or she should already know that the Chaos wanted to destroy this universe, yet he or she killed him.”

“Old Zao, the Time Lord is a woman, so you don’t need to address her that way.” Zao Nianjian turned to Long Tianhuo directly. “I’ve never met her in person, but my son-in-law and others have met her several times, and they told me that she was a woman.”

Zhizun Buxiu looked surprised by Long Tianhuo’s revelation. “Who is your son-in-law, little dragon? How could he meet the Time Lord? I myself have lived for so long, but I have never met the Time Lord.”

“Senior, his name is Ling Yun, and he is in the mysterious tower now. In addition, he is the successor of the primordial chaos dragon.” Zhizun Buxiu was even more surprised, and Long Tianhuo immediately told him some things about his son-in-law, including his relationship with the three spirit women.

“If the primordial chaos dragon is really the only one who can stop the Chaos, then this universe should still have hope, and my son-in-law should be able to do it.”

“You are right; your son-in-law should be our last hope to stop the Chaos. However, the current him is still too weak, and he might not have time to stop it, especially since the darkness’s movement continues to accelerate.” Long Tianhuo and Zao Nianjian’s expressions became grim because he himself could see it from that Qi screen. fгeewebnovёl.com

“I don’t know why the Time Lord killed the original primordial dragon, but your story about your son-in-law leads me to believe that she likely killed him because of the Chaos.”

“Because of the Chaos?”

Zhizun Buxiu shook his head at them. “That’s just my guess, and I have no evidence for it. Actually, I once went to the Mysterious Tower to meet the Time Lord. I wanted to ask her about the danger, but she and the other immortals were unwilling to meet me. Even with my current cultivation, I still couldn’t fight them, so I decided to give up my intention to meet them.

Anyway, is it true that the void girl is really his wife?”

“Yes, Senior. Zhou Yu is truly one of his wives.” Long Tianhuo replied with a nod.

Zhizun Buxiu was lost in thought for a long time before taking out an item, but he remained silent and continued to watch it.

“What is that item, Senior?” Zao Nianjian couldn’t hold back his curiosity, especially since he could sense the void element from the item.

Zhizun Buxiu immediately touched the item and injected a bit of his qi into it, causing a void hole to appear above them. In an instant, the item flew into it. “The previous spirit of void entrusted it to me, and it contains some of her memories.”

“Some memories from the previous spirit of void?”

“Yes.” Zhizun Buxiu nodded and told them. “The current spirit of void isn’t perfect yet, so she still can’t use her full abilities. She must regain the memories of all her predecessors to be able to perfect herself, and she will become the sole ruler of the void if she manages to do it. Unfortunately, those memories are located deep in the void, and she will not be able to reach that place.

Moreover, the current her doesn’t have many memories of the true void, so her predecessor entrusted some of her memories to me, and it will guide her to obtain those memories.”

“If Zhou Yu’s predecessor knew about those memories, then why didn’t she take them, Senior?”

“The key is the primordial chaos dragon.” Zao Nianjian and Long Tianhuo looked at Zhizun Buxiu in confusion. “The Chaos directly connects to the void, which progressively weakens as the universe sustains further damage.

The spirits of the void are born from the void itself, and their power continues to weaken every time they die and a new one is born, so she has no ability to enter the deepest part of the void. The primordial chaos dragon is the only one who can assist her in reaching the deepest part of the void, but his successor did not appear in her era, and he only made his appearance in this era.”

“Is the power of the void ruler really that strong, Senior? In this supreme realm, there are few people who have an understanding of the void, and you are the best among them.”

“Haha!” Zhizun Buxiu laughed at that. “I can understand the void because of the previous spirit of void, and she also helped me create this sub-realm, but my understanding of it is not as deep as hers. Once Zhou Yu transformed into the sole ruler of the void, her abilities and control over the void would be unmatched, so she could help Ling Yun stop the Chaos.”
