Various thoughts flashed through Yuan Zhexian's mind. He never expected that the Yuanshi Tianzun in front of him was actually the ancestor of the Yuan clan!

And the Tongtian Sect Leader was actually his distant ancestor!

After a long while, he came to his senses, and hurriedly bowed and clasped his hands, saying respectfully, "The banished immortal pays respects to the progenitor and distant ancestor!"

Seeing Yuan Zhexian's respectful attitude, Yuan Tong was very pleased and immediately burst into laughter, his laughter echoing like a booming bell throughout the space.

He praised, "Haha, well done! You truly deserve to be called a remarkable figure of our Yuan clan. Child, you've done a great job!"

Yuan Tong's words revealed his appreciation and affirmation of Yuan Zhexian.

Immediately afterward, Yuan Tong's smile faded, and he said to Yuan Zhexian with a serious expression, "Child, you must remember this: no matter what kind of being we face, we must never let the Yuan clan submit!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhexian felt a surge of pride. He immediately cupped his hands and nodded, indicating that he would always remember his ancestor's teachings.

Then, Yuanshi Tianzun stared expressionlessly at Yuan Zhexian, his deep eyes seemingly able to penetrate the boundaries of time and space.

After a while, he slowly spoke, "Ever since your battle with the River Styx, we have known your true identity."

"We've been watching you quietly all along."

"I suppose Yuan Gu and those ten little guys have already told you some things."

Yuan Zhexian nodded, indicating that this was indeed the case.

Then, Yuanshi Tianzun took a deep breath, as if he wanted to reveal all the secrets of the universe.

"Now, let me explain the rest one by one."

"Before the universe was born, a wisp of consciousness quietly emerged."

"This wisp of consciousness is the will of the universe, which takes the name 'Tao,' which is now the supreme Tao."

The words of the Primordial Celestial Venerable resonated in the ears of the Immortal Yuan, like a great bell.

"After countless ages, the Great Dao has attained enlightenment!"

"It realized that in order to transcend the universe, it was necessary to return to the origin and to have something mixed together, existing before heaven and earth, silent and still, independent and unchanging, circulating without ceasing."

Yuanshi Tianzun paused for a moment, then continued, "As the Dao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, and Three gives birth to all things."

"The Great Dao takes one universe as its foundation, divides it into two worlds of Yin and Yang, and gives birth to the Three Life Forms, thereby controlling the operation of all things in the universe."

"You should understand what a universe is now."

"And two worlds of yin and yang!"

"One is the Middle Thousand World where you were born, and the other is the Great Thousand World, the Immortal Realm, and the Three Thousand Lesser Thousand Worlds. They are collectively called the Yang World."

"The other Yin world is the primordial world you are currently in."

The tone of the Primordial Celestial Venerable became serious.

"These two worlds are in opposition to each other, yet interdependent."

"As for the Three Lifetimes, they are the Great Dao that takes the Great Dao as its origin and evolves into the Heavenly Dao, the Human Dao, and the Earthly Dao."

Yuanshi Tianzun explained.

"These three elements work together to manage the Yang world, enabling it to function properly."

"I think you should have some understanding of the Heavenly Way."

"It is the order of all things in the Yang world, and it governs everything."

"And the way of humanity is the origin of my Yuan clan's first ancestor—Yuan Chu!"

"He guides the development and progress of all things in the Yang world with the power of humanity."

"As for the underground passage, you are more familiar with it than he is; he is your master—Di Chu!"

The gaze of the Primordial Celestial Venerable fell upon you.

"He uses the power of the earth to protect the world of the living and all things in it."

Then, Yuanshi Tianzun continued, "However, there is still a Yin world that is left unmanaged."

"Therefore, the Great Dao once again evolved the remaining Great Dao Origin into a Heavenly Dao and a Divine Dao."

"This evolved Heavenly Dao is called the Yin Heavenly Dao."

"And that divine path is none other than Pangu, the creator god of all things in the primordial world!"

The voice of the Primordial Celestial Venerable resounded in the void like a great bell.

"After that, Yin Tiandao and Pangu jointly managed the Yin World."

"And the Heavenly Dao of our Yang World is called the Yang Heavenly Dao."

"Finally, in order to enable them to better manage the Yin and Yang worlds, they were each bestowed with different Primordial Treasures."

At this moment, Yuanshi paused slightly, giving Yuan Zhexian enough time to digest and understand these things.

At this moment, although Yuan Zhexian appeared expressionless on the surface, his heart was already churning with shock.

It turns out that the Yuan clan originated from the ancestor of humanity, who evolved from the Great Dao!

And his own master was actually a Daoist master who had evolved from the Great Dao!

These are the most supreme beings in the entire universe!

Just as Yuan Zhexian was utterly shocked, Yuanshi spoke again, saying, "These five supreme beings are not affected by the Yin-Yang world and can freely travel between them."

"And so, the Yin-Yang world developed in an orderly manner over the endless years that followed, gradually entering the Primordial Era."

"At this moment, not only did the great, medium and small worlds of the Yang world gradually take shape, but it also gave birth to the three thousand holy spirits and other kinds of living beings."

"However, in stark contrast, the underworld remained in a state of primordial chaos, devoid of any life, and without any living beings."

"After the Great Dao evolved, the five supreme beings had different levels of cultivation and strength."

"Among them, Yang Tiandao's cultivation reached the ninth level of the Dao Realm, while Yin Tiandao, Rendao, and Didao were only at the eighth level of the Dao Realm. As for Pangu, he was only at the seventh level of the Dao Realm."
