[The Supreme Being] Cao Ya frowned and asked:
"If there's no breakthrough, they won't even be able to enter the system space anymore?"
“Hmm.” Cao Yawei from [Primordial Era] nodded almost imperceptibly, her expression calm as she said, “I want to break through on my own—although it’s all my doing, but… how should I put it…”
He hesitated for a moment:
"Firstly, it's to avoid the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods; secondly, it's also for insurance, in case my secret is discovered by some saint?"
He smiled helplessly and said:
“In low- to mid-level worlds, there may be no such worries. My [Primordial World] is different from worlds like [Peerless Sovereign], [Global Martial Arts], and [Lord of Mysteries]. In your great worlds, the big shots are all asleep, either sealed or restricted. It will be some time before they return, so you can develop in peace for a while. They may become powerful by then.”
"In my great world, the sages are high above, looking down upon countless realms and countless beings like the sands of the Ganges. There is also the Dao-merging Hongjun, who controls the Jade Tablet of Creation and manipulates creation. Who knows if they have any awareness of this?"
He let out a long sigh at the end.
"It's difficult!"
Before he could finish speaking, the atmosphere had already become heavy.
[Mysterious Resurrection] Cao Ya gave a bitter laugh. Of all the worlds, perhaps his was the most miserable one.
Cao Ya, from the worlds of 【Primordial Era】 and 【Mysterious Resurgence】, exchanged a glance, feeling a deep sense of sympathy.

The vast world of the primordial era.
Beyond the heavens, there is Ketu.
Although it is one of the Nine Luminaries, it is hated by gods and ghosts.
Amidst the boundless malevolent energy, there was a simple cave dwelling inscribed with the four characters "Ketu Star Lord".
Cao Ya stepped out of the cave, raised his hand and released a golden light that circled the cave once before floating in front of the entrance.
I left a message that I was going into seclusion... If someone from Heaven comes, they will understand... Alas, I doubt many people from Heaven would want to come to this place...
That's actually quite convenient, allowing me to cultivate in seclusion without any hindrance... Otherwise, I'd have to worry about some guy accidentally wandering in during the calamity's sweep...
Cao Ya looked up at the primordial continent, where endless calamity energy rose, and seven-colored divine light flashed, which looked extremely beautiful and breathtaking.
Only by delving into it can one truly understand its harm.
In any case, Cao Ya was determined not to get involved.
The only cause and effect he formed was with the Holy Mother Guiling. Tens of thousands of years later, after the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods was completely over and the calamity dissipated, he descended to the mortal realm again to enlighten the reincarnation of the Holy Mother Guiling, either by giving her cultivation techniques or by gifting her weapons and treasures.
There's no need to go and get yourself killed right now.
The seven-colored calamity energy not only enveloped the almost boundless primordial continent, but also spread towards the primordial starry sky, seemingly dragging the entire primordial world into the great calamity.
Even if you are an immortal or Buddha who is not bound by the Five Elements or transcends the Three Realms, you will still be unable to avoid having your mind clouded by the calamity and end up in the vortex of this great calamity.
Rare exceptions!
The Heavenly Court only had a few large and small deities, and the amount of calamity they were entangled with wasn't too great, and the Great Heavenly Venerable was able to resolve it. Even so, some deities still descended to the mortal realm and never returned.
Luckily, my place is too remote...
Cao Ya was relieved. If he had stayed on the prehistoric continent, even in the dangerous place he had specifically sought out, he would have had little peace under the great calamity.
The situation was much better deep within the starry sky.
After all, the center of the great calamity was still the primordial continent.
Life is rare in the starry sky, so naturally there is less calamity energy.
But ordinary people can't come to the starry sky, and those who can are entangled in karma and cause and effect, making it too difficult to escape.
The web of cause and effect is so complex and intertwined that even sages cannot help but feel anger, let alone ordinary immortals and gods.
One last glance at the prehistoric continent, without a trace of lingering attachment, he turned and disappeared into his cave.
Boom!
The gate closed, the formation was activated, and malevolent energy surged forth, engulfing the humble cave dwelling.

[Mysterious Revival] World.
Dayang City.
Cao Ya was cultivating in his safe house when he suddenly received a phone call from Dahan City.
"Cough cough~~" Before anyone could speak on the other end of the phone, a violent coughing sound came through.
Cao Ya chuckled softly and said:
"Sun Rui, what's up? You're such a busy person, you actually have time to call me?"
The person who called him was Sun Rui, the head of Dahan City, who controlled two fierce ghosts and was neither strong nor weak in the current ghost-controlling circle.
He had spent a considerable amount of time in Dahan City before, and knew Sun Rui; they had a good relationship.
Later, after entering the system space and gaining immense power, he returned to Dayang City and became the head of a city.
"Captain Cao, I've come to ask for your help." Sun Rui smiled. He hadn't become the captain of headquarters because he wasn't strong enough. If he could control another vengeful ghost, he might be able to secure a captain's position.
However, controlling a vengeful spirit requires a balance; trying to have too much can be dangerous.
After all, there are varying degrees of strength among vengeful spirits, and there is also a relationship of restraint between them.
Of all the team leaders at headquarters, only Cao Ya from Dayang City was someone he knew well enough to call for help.
"You want my help?" Cao Yawei was taken aback.
To be honest, Cao Ya was somewhat surprised.
Unlike other places, Dahan City is peaceful and prosperous because of the existence of the Ghost Post Office and the old "Knocking Ghost" who used to be in charge. While other places have experienced the resurgence of evil spirits and disasters, Dahan City is basically calm and peaceful.
Otherwise, why would Cao Ya have chosen to go to Dahan City in the first place?
Even in Dachang City, where Yang Jian is stationed, there is an S-level Starving Ghost crisis that threatens to destroy the city. Even if Cao Ya becomes a Ghost Tamer, he cannot guarantee that he can survive under the Starving Ghost; it all depends on luck.
The ghost post office is having problems...
Cao Ya guessed that before he could even ask, Sun Rui cut to the chase:
"I'm not asking you to deal with the vengeful ghost, but to help me keep things under control. Yang Jian, the 'Ghost Eye' from Dachang City, is coming to Dahan City tomorrow. That Yang Jian can even handle an S-level starving ghost case, and he single-handedly destroyed his arrogant circle of friends. I'm a little worried."
Sun Rui did not hide his emotions, after all, it was obvious, and revealing the truth would put Cao Ya at ease.
Even though they were familiar with each other, they still had to consider whether Cao Ya had undergone any changes under the influence of the vengeful ghost.
Sun Rui was unaware that Cao Ya was not actually a ghost tamer.
He chuckled and said:
"Among the people I know, the one I'm on good terms with and who is also very powerful is you, Cao Ya. Moreover, with 'Ghost Eye' Yang Jian coming over, plus you, 'Ghost Gold' Cao Ya, two captain-level ghost tamers, and me assisting from the side, we should be able to solve the problem in Dahan City."
"Ghost Gold" is Cao Ya's code name, just like Yang Jian's "Ghost Eye" and Sun Rui's "Sick Ghost".
Because of this code name, many ghost tamers targeted Cao Ya, but he killed them all. All the vengeful ghosts were imprisoned and thrown into another safe house.
Gold is the only thing that can imprison and restrain vengeful spirits.
Cao Ya activated the "Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill," revealing a dazzling golden color, thus earning him the nickname "Ghost Gold." No wonder some people have their eyes on him.
Of course, nowadays no one is so foolish as to dare to lay a hand on Cao Ya.
Cao Ya's captaincy was also earned through hard work.
