With the death of the Heavenly Dao, the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and the other six saints, including Zhunti, were no longer under its control. They immediately broke free from the mandate of heaven and rushed to the Heavenly Court to find the seriously injured Dijun and others.

Laozi took out gourds of healing pills to help Dijun and the others stabilize their injuries. He then hurriedly ordered his disciples to go to the human world to help with disaster relief. They, along with Dijun and the others, mustered their strength and flew towards Chaos.

Dijiang could no longer hold on and turned to ashes the moment the Heavenly Dao fell. The last remaining Ancestral Witch, Houtu, gritted her teeth and followed him up.

Upon arriving in the void, they saw Xi lying unconscious in mid-air, his face deathly pale. However, protected by the black Golden Crow Netherfire, they could not get close at all and could only wait anxiously for him to wake up on his own.

Seeing that he is safe and sound, I finally feel relieved.

"Is the Heavenly Dao truly dead? What will become of the primordial world?"

“Some of the edges of the four continents have broken apart, and many small worlds have appeared that are outside the primordial world.”

"The Heavenly Court has collapsed, and the Heavenly Dao is gone. Who can control the laws now?"

"Hey, control the laws? What else do I need to control!"

Amidst the discussion, a wild laugh suddenly rang out. Everyone turned around and saw Rahu, dressed in black brocade robes, flying towards them from the direction of the laughter, his face filled with malice and malevolence.

"Alright, the Heavenly Dao is dead, and our agreement is fulfilled. Now, we'll be standing on opposite sides!"

Houtu suddenly felt uneasy and couldn't help but ask, "What do you want to do?"

Ignoring everything else, Luo Hou laughed wildly into the void: "Hongjun! I've won! The primordial world you wanted to protect is finally doomed! The primordial world you were willing to abandon me to protect back then, I will destroy it for you, bit by bit!"

"Rahu—what are you going to do?"

He turned around, raised his eyebrows, and said, "What do I want to do? Have you all forgotten that I am Luo Hou? I was born from destruction! Do you think Hongjun imprisoned me back then? Wasn't it because I wanted to use the Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus to burn away the primordial world!"

Di Jun's expression changed drastically, and he couldn't help but grip the Demon Slayer Sword tightly. The three of them stood guard in front of Luo Hou.

Houtu screamed, "No matter how much our Wu clan wants the demon clan to fight, it's just internal strife within the prehistoric world. If it involves casualties across the entire prehistoric world, then don't blame us for joining forces!"

Rahu, however, seemed completely unconcerned about their tense standoff; he was even laughing.

"Don't be so nervous, you can't stop me. Hongjun is dead, the Heavenly Dao is dead, all the protection of the primordial world is gone! Hahahaha... Didn't expect that, did you? You no longer have a dictatorial ruler, but at the same time, you have also lost your protection!"

He pointed at Xi, his smile malicious, brimming with smug confidence, like a mantis stalking a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

"I forcibly elevated you to the level of a Saint using the Black Lotus of Annihilation, but in reality, all your cultivation depends on it! Although I am now only a fraction of my former strength due to being imprisoned in the Purple Cloud Palace for ten thousand years, as long as I take back the Black Lotus of Annihilation, you will die as well, and everything will become my power through the Black Lotus of Annihilation!"

Before the primordial era, chaos gave birth to four lotus platforms—the thirty-six-petaled Creation Green Lotus, the twelve-petaled Merit Golden Lotus, the twelve-petaled Karmic Fire Red Lotus, and the twelve-petaled World-Destroying Black Lotus.

The Thirty-Six Grade Creation Lotus is the highest grade, but because it lacks the merit of creating the world, it is not tolerated by heaven and earth. After the creation of heaven and earth, it was divided into three.

Among them, the lotus flower transformed into the original Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, the lotus root transformed into Laozi's Taiyi whisk, the lotus leaf transformed into the Tongtian Qingping sword, and the ancestral source of the earth that nurtured the green lotus transformed into the Nine Heavens Breath Soil owned by Nuwa.
