No one expected that Guang Chengzi would perish like this.

To be precise.

Guang Chengzi did not simply perish; rather, his true spirit ascended to the list of gods, becoming the first quasi-saint on the Investiture of the Gods...

And at the very moment Guang Chengzi's true spirit was listed.

A sharp shout suddenly rang out among the Western Zhou army.

"retreat!"

It was Shen Gongbao who issued this order.

Now that Ji Chang is dead, Guang Chengzi is on the list.

Shen Gongbao had become the most powerful figure in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

With Shen Gongbao's command.

The Western Zhou army retreated westward like a tidal wave...

Seeing this scene.

The Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit's eyes flickered, and she was about to make a move, but was stopped by Daoist Duobao.

"Senior brother, what's wrong?"

The Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit was puzzled.

Daoist Duobao shook his head and said...

"Don't pursue a desperate enemy."

"Although Guang Chengzi is dead, he left behind the entire Chan Sect and even Taoism..."

Upon hearing this...

The Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit immediately understood.

If they were to go to extremes and kill them all, it might provoke Yuanshi and the others to take action.

How could they possibly survive?

"Thank you for your guidance, senior brother."

The Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit bowed in thanks and then stood quietly behind Daoist Duobao.

The same applies to Our Lady of Gold and Our Lady of Incomparable.

As for the army in Peicheng.

After the death of Marquis Chonghouhu of the North.

The army in Pei City was also leaderless, so naturally they did not pursue the Western Zhou army.

Under the gaze of everyone.

Under Shen Gongbao's leadership.

The Western Zhou army retreated in this way.

The army from Pei City, carrying Chong Houhu's corpse, returned to Pei City...

This great battle between the Western Zhou and the Northern Marquis's Mansion ended in this way.

But strangely...

Ji Chang, the ruler of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and Chong Houhu, the Marquis of the North, both perished in this great battle.

On the surface.

This is a war with no clear winner or loser.

Both the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Marquisate suffered heavy losses.

However, from the perspective of the Investiture of the Gods, its significance is entirely different...

......

Ji Chang, the destined overlord, perished and made the list.

Guang Chengzi, the strongest of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, has fallen and is on the list.

In this war.

The Chan sect suffered a crushing defeat.

If the fall of Taiyi Zhenren had enraged Yuanshi, then...

The fact that Guang Chengzi's death was listed on the list would surely drive Yuanshi Tianzun mad...

......

Let's go back to the time when Guang Chengzi fell.

Jade Void Palace.

Yuanshi suddenly opened his eyes and just happened to see the scene of Guangchengzi's true spirit entering the Investiture of the Gods.

At first, Yuan Shi's eyes showed deep astonishment and disbelief, which was then filled with rage.

"Reaching the Heavens".

"You dare to allow your disciples to surround and kill Guang Chengzi."

"court death!"

Enraged, Yuanshi took a step and arrived outside the Jade Void Palace, heading towards the East Sea.

But at that very moment...

A familiar figure blocked Yuanshi's path.

It was Lao Tzu.

"Brother."

Why are you stopping me?

The Primordial Roar.

Upon hearing this...

Lao Tzu frowned slightly and said.

"Second brother."

"The rule set by Heaven and Demon Ancestor Lingyun was that one could not make a move before the Great Tribulation fully erupted."

"You have already violated the rules once before."

"If you make another move, your life may be in danger."

"Have you forgotten Rahu's warning?"

"......"

As Lao Tzu's voice continued to resound.

Yuan Shi gradually calmed down.

Even so.

Yuan Shi still could not suppress his rage and said coldly.

"Brother."

"Did Guang Chengzi die in vain?"

"I refuse to accept this!"

Seeing Yuanshi's frenzied appearance.

Laozi frowned even more deeply and said in a deep voice.

"Primordial Beginning".

"The great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods is about to erupt."

"If you lose your composure at this moment, you will ruin the great cause of Heaven."

Have you considered the consequences?

"Don't act impulsively!"

The Way of Heaven?

After hearing those two words.

The rage in Yuanshi's eyes receded like the tide, replaced by a deep sense of lingering fear.

If it is truly because he ruined the great affairs of Heaven.

That's not as simple as just losing a few disciples.

He might even lose his life here.

"call!"

Yuanshi let out a long sigh and said to Laozi.

"Thank you for the reminder, elder brother."

After saying that.

Yuanshi immediately vanished from the spot and returned to Yuxu Palace.

He will no longer blindly seek revenge against Tongtian.

But Yuanshi will not give up easily either.

He must turn the tide in his next move.

......

What the Primordial One didn't know was...

Right after he left.

A sword aura came from the east and arrived beside Laozi in the blink of an eye; it was Tongtian.

After seeing that I was the only one there.

Tongtian frowned slightly, somewhat disappointed.

"Laozi".

"Did you persuade Yuanshi to go back?"

Lao Tzu sighed slightly and said.

"Yes."

"Third brother, you..."

Laozi was about to say something when Tongtian stopped him.

"Laozi".

There is no longer any connection between us.
