Cao Ya cupped his hands and said, "Master, it's been many years."
No matter how powerful I become, I will always remember the guidance of the old man who guarded the tomb.
Therefore, they specially came to guide the old tomb keeper; otherwise, Dugu Baitian, who was considered the son-in-law, would have come in person. Although Dugu Baitian was going to guide quite a few people.
Not to mention his family, Dugu Baitian also had to take care of his nine disciples and followers.
Of course, there are others doing the same thing. All heroes who fight against heaven deserve our respect!
Besides, the old man who guards the tomb has lived for so many years and has many old friends; they won't just sit idly by and watch him fall into despair.
However, the old tomb keeper merely rolled his eyes at Cao Ya's joy and said:
"You rascal, you don't even know how to leave your master a piece of starry sky as his territory."
"Forget it, you can go now. After I'm reincarnated, I won't just have you and Xuanxuan as my disciples anymore."
The old man guarding the grave waved his hand.
Helpless, Cao Ya bowed to the others and had no choice but to leave the star system.
"It's getting stronger and stronger." Suddenly, the old tomb keeper sighed.
He had awakened and regained the power of the Heavenly Rank Peak, yet he still didn't realize how his disciple Cao Ya had disappeared.
Immediately, he smiled, a smile of pride on his face.
The eldest disciple, Xuanxuan, is known as the "First Witch of Ancient Times," and the second disciple, Cao Ya, is the strongest person in all of history!
Most importantly—both of them respected their teachers!
"Much better than the Time-Space God, at least he doesn't have a heartless disciple," the old tomb keeper remarked.
Immediately, the old man standing to the side glared and puffed out his beard.
"You old bastard, you're rubbing salt in my wounds again!"
That old man was the God of Time and Space, who had already awakened.
His disciple betrayed his master and ancestors, a fact that always saddens him.
The old man guarding the tomb couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Just then, a free-spirited man arrived, looking worried.
"Why do my children look so strange? Is it really true that 'a dragon has nine sons, and each one is different'?"
Before the old tomb keeper and the time travel god could even make a joke, Chen Nan, Long Baobao, and Little Phoenix descended from the sky.
"Amitabha, my prophecy has indeed come true." The baby dragon is still very cute.
Beside him was a little phoenix, symbolizing good fortune.
Although during the battle against the evil Heavenly Dao, the little phoenix and the Eastern phoenix merged, recreating the ancient Phoenix Heavenly Maiden.
However, when they were reborn, the two were still separated.
The man was in a daze, and countless images flashed through his mind, instantly reminding him of the past.
As a result, the Purple-Gold Divine Dragon's first reaction was neither joy nor emotion.
They were actually making fun of baby dragons and little phoenixes!
"Wow, the little guy's grown up! He knows the beauty of the opposite sex now. Come here, big brother will teach you..."
Before the Purple-Gold Divine Dragon could finish speaking, it was slammed into the ground by the baby dragon's tail.
"..." Chen Nan was speechless. Sure enough, this was the unreliable Purple-Gold Divine Dragon.
Then, they also greeted the God of Time and Space and the old man who guards the tomb.
"Are your parents alright?" the Time God asked with a smile.
"Mother has also woken up and has been taken away by Father. She is now enjoying family life on a peaceful life-bearing planet far away." Chen Nan couldn't help but smile. All five children are being cared for by their parents.
He travels among the stars, guiding the gods, and has already reaped considerable rewards.
Both the human king Yu Xin and the "Seven Absolute Heavenly Maidens" have been found.
Of course, the Lord of the Underworld discovered them even faster and took them as his disciples.
Upon hearing this news, the old tomb keeper exclaimed, "The Ghost Lord is quick enough. Forget about the Human King, the 'Seven Absolute Heavenly Maidens' have absolutely nothing to do with him."
"Your disciple is even more powerful! Xuanxuan can't compare to the Human King, the 'Seven Absolute Heavenly Maidens,' Cao Ya..." The God of Time and Space exclaimed in admiration, "The Purple Thunder Sword Ancestor is even stronger than the Netherworld Ghost Lord!"
Why didn't he come back and give Cao Ya some pointers back then?
After chatting for a while, Chen Nan, the Purple Gold Dragon, the Dragon Baby, and the Little Phoenix left.
Centuries later, most of the gods and demons returned and scattered across the starry sea.
The gods have been resurrected and have returned to the mortal world!
Occasionally, when Cao Ya felt inspired, he would open a sermon, expounding on a series of profound mysteries to benefit all living beings.
Such a scene would be attended by Dugu Baitian, the Demon Lord, Chen Nan, and the others.
Cao Ya's strength is unparalleled, and he is hailed as "the greatest person in history"!
Apart from the former evil Heavenly Dao and the current new Heavenly Dao, Cao Ya is the strongest!
He is also considered by many to be the most promising being to break through to the level of the Heavenly King and enter the "Heavenly Dao" level!
"Aww, Grandpa Dragon is here!" The purple-gold dragon flew by, carrying its nine offspring on its back.
The children found it amusing and laughed, while his wife, Galise, felt quite embarrassed.
"Whoosh." Baby Dragon and Little Phoenix also flew down to this planet.
Chen Nan, accompanied by Wang Yuxin and the "Seven Absolute Heavenly Maidens," also arrived.
They have all awakened, but the Seven Heavenly Maidens were too badly injured back then. Even though their spiritual consciousness has reappeared, it will still take a long time before they can become independent.
This led to the "Seven Absolute Heavenly Maidens" changing their attitude towards Chen Nan every minute!
Long Wu and Nalan Ruoshui are naturally in love. Tantai Xuan and Meng Ke'er, on the other hand, are entangled in love and hate, and have even had children together, making their relationship complex.
Li Ruolan is a complete fighting maniac, she can't wait to have a small fight with Chen Nan every three days and a big fight every five days!
Chu Yue appears gentle, but her scheming is unfathomable. Although they get along well, Chen Nan often feels a chill down his spine.
Chu Yu was the one who gave Chen Nan the most headaches. He kept calling him a "scoundrel" and would often comment on the scenes of his relationships with Meng Ke'er and Tantai Xuan, making all sorts of comments that made Chen Nan, Meng Ke'er, and Tantai Xuan extremely embarrassed.
"Whoosh." The Netherworld Ghost Lord appeared, tearing through the air as he arrived. His snow-white skeleton was loose and frail, as if it were about to break. But everyone knew how powerful the Ghost Lord was—one of the top few in the universe!
"Master." Wang Yuxin and "Seven Absolute Heavenly Maidens" stepped forward. In this life, they were fellow disciples.
At the same time, the Dugu lineage, led by Dugu Baitian, Xuanxuan, and the Moon Goddess, also arrived.
Demon Lords, Demon Masters, Sword Gods, Wind Gods, Fire Gods, and Knife Gods also arrived.
"Father, Mother."
Chen Zhan and his wife also dispelled their escape light, and Chen Nan, along with Yu Xin and the "Seven Absolute Heavenly Maidens," went over.
"Good child." Mother Chen was excited and took the hands of Yu Xin and "Seven Absolute Heavenly Maidens" and talked to them.
"We haven't even greeted many mothers yet," the five children muttered to themselves.
Upon seeing his son, Chen Zhan smiled.
In the distance, Dugu Baitian and Xuanxuan stared at it for a moment, but ultimately did not come over.
After all, this is "Chen Nan," not "Dugu Xiaobai."
"Boom..." The Seven Ancient Kings, the Tomb Keeper, the God of Time and Space, the Ancient War Soul of the Starry Sky, and others, with their escape light piercing through the sea of stars, arrived at this star.
Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, Cao Ya flicked his finger, and divine light spread, covering the sky.
The lively conversation fell silent as everyone focused intently on what was ahead.
As powerful as Cao Ya is, who wouldn't want to hear about his Great Dao Laws?
Cao Ya smiled slightly and began to speak, without holding anything back.
He gazed at the magnificent stars and the vast universe, finding no calamity, and couldn't help but sigh softly.
"The catastrophe of the [Tomb of the Gods] universe has truly ended... All living beings have been reincarnated, and billions of gods and demons have returned one after another."
******
While Cao Ya was embarking on various adventures and even struggles in universes such as [Stellar Transformation], [Eternal Life Realm], and [Tomb of the Gods], he also emerged in the [Primordial] Great Universe.
"The Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods has reached its later stages, and many immortals and gods have already perished."
Cao Ya stood deep within the northern star sea, his gaze profound.
In the primordial universe, since the great god Pangu created the world, many gods and demons were born one after another. After the Dragon-Han First Tribulation, the Dao-Demon Conflict, the Witch-Demon Great Tribulation, and the Great Tribulation of the Human Race, billions of years have passed, and a new great tribulation is about to be born and erupt. This is the Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods.
The signing of the agreement by the three religions, after years of brewing, has become increasingly terrifying.
Many immortals and gods, whether willingly or unwillingly, participated in it, and most of them died and their cultivation vanished.
As far as Cao Ya knew, not to mention Shi Ji Niangniang, even Kong Xuan, the Three Immortal Maidens of Sanxiao, Zhao Gongming, Wen Zhong, and others had all perished, and their true spirits were listed on the Investiture of the Gods.
The Xiqi army, led by Jiang Ziya, arrived at Sishui Pass!
The next stop, Jiepai Pass, is blocked by the Zhuxian Formation, preventing the Xiqi army from advancing.
"Buzz." Across the primordial continent, sword energy crisscrossed, with four colors of light—blue, red, yellow, and black—surging through the heavens, shattering the void, and piercing through the ages!
Even the celestial palaces and temples of the Heavenly Court were trembling, as if they were about to collapse.
"What a magnificent Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation!" Cao Ya exclaimed in amazement. This was still the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, not yet fully unleashed, and its power was contained within the surrounding area. Otherwise, destroying the primordial continent and shattering space would have been an easy task!
“The Jade Emperor is definitely not going to sit still now,” Cao Ya suddenly laughed.
The calamity of the Investiture of the Gods was mainly caused by the accumulation of calamity energy among the immortals, which needed to be channeled, and some people were destined to face the calamity.
The Jade Emperor, who could be considered a direct cause, would certainly not gain any advantage among the followers of the three religions.
Although the Three Pure Ones know the origins of the matter, they probably don't have a good impression of the Jade Emperor.
There was nothing that could be done; the Jade Emperor, lacking deities in Heaven, prayed to the Daoist patriarch Hongjun, which led to the calamity of the Investiture of the Gods.
Although the Jade Emperor's journey was no longer involved, the calamity had been brewing for tens of thousands of years, and there must have been another reason to trigger it... But since the Jade Emperor had done this, it's no wonder that the immortals had objections.
If it weren't for the protection of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the Heavenly Court might have been breached by the three religions.
The Jade Emperor is not a Primordial Saint, so what concerns do the Three Pure Ones have?
Naturally, even a slight increase in the power of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation set up by the Tongtian Sect Leader was enough to subdue the Jade Emperor and make him feel terrified.
"Well, I shouldn't be too gloating. I am the 'Star Lord Ketu' of the Heavenly Court!"
Cao Ya muttered to himself that he also held a divine position in the Heavenly Court, and was in charge of the star Ketu.
Of course, it wasn't just the Heavenly Court; Cao Ya also had a mission within the human race: to manage twenty-three lower planes and develop the human race.
The latter, Cao Ya, truly put her heart into it.
The Heavenly Court is under the protection of the Dao Ancestor, so it can't be destroyed anyway. What realm does he have to worry about?
On the contrary, the human race has only just begun to flourish and its foundation is not yet stable. If the Primordial Saint targets them, there will definitely be big problems!
The war between the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans, in their struggle to unify the prehistoric continent and seize destiny in order to obtain the Primordial Dao Fruit, resulted in all three clans suffering heavy losses, with none of them emerging victorious.
The subsequent war between the Lich and the Demon was similar. The demons, who once ruled the heavens and the witches, who once dominated the prehistoric world, were reduced to the remnants of the demon race, which survived only in the northern part of the prehistoric continent. The witch race was almost completely wiped out!
Given the lessons of the past, how can humanity not feel a sense of awe?
The main figures of Fire Cloud Cave reached a consensus to shift their attention away from the Primordial Continent.
The Three Realms are of extremely high quality, with too many powerful beings. Primordial Saints reside in the world, and Quasi-Saints and Great Luo Immortals are everywhere.
Humanity, lacking the power to break free from its dependence on gods and Buddhas, can only develop gradually from the lower realms, making its progress slowly.
If possible, avoid getting involved in the countless eons of the Three Realms.
However, in the Investiture of the Gods, the sages set the chessboard to the Zhou and Shang dynasties...
We had no choice but to enter the game.
Of course, none of the human race's experts, the holy emperors of all generations, intervened; they could only watch from the sidelines.
This is a calamity for the three religions, and even if humanity is the chessboard, it cannot resist it.
"Alas, the human race has yet to produce a single seven-star Primordial Saint!"
Cao Ya sighed inwardly. Below the level of a sage, all are but ants. The strength of a Primordial Chaos is beyond imagination!
In the primordial universe, refining essence into qi creates one star; refining qi into spirit and refining spirit to return to emptiness creates two stars; gathering emptiness and merging with the Dao, becoming a celestial immortal or a profound immortal creates three stars; and a golden immortal is the fourth star.
The Great Luo is five stars, the Quasi-Saint is six stars, and the Primordial Saint is naturally seven stars.
Among them, the Great Luo and Quasi-Saint are further subdivided into nine heavens.
Even above the ninth level of Quasi-Saint, there is an alternative Saint at the Weak Primordial Chaos Realm.
It corresponds to the peak of six stars!
The most renowned and powerful figures in the primordial world, such as Zhen Yuanzi, Daoist Styx, and the Demon Master Kunpeng, all belonged to this realm.
However, the number of saints among the Seven Stars is still extremely small. Apart from the survivors of the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods, such as Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Demon Ancestor Luohou, and Yangmei Great God, there are only a few giants like the Three Pure Ones, the Guide Daoist, the Zhunti Daoist, and the Goddess Nuwa.
There are also some reclusive beings. It's impossible that only a few of the three thousand Chaos Gods survived, such as Donghuang Taiyi, the Demon Emperor Dijun, and the Twelve Ancestral Witches. It's unrealistic to say that they all died.
The strongest among humans are the Heavenly Emperor, the Earthly Emperor, and the Human Emperor, who are at the peak of the six-star level and suppress the destiny of the world.
However, in the era when the Seven Stars of Primordial Chaos manifested, being at the peak of the Six Stars level was somewhat lacking.
A group of ancient human sages, such as Youchao, Suiren, the Five Emperors, Xia Qi, and Cheng Tang, were the six quasi-saints.
Of course, he's not bad, but in the vast and ancient world, he can at most be called a "great supernatural being." To look down on all directions and roam freely across the world, he still falls short.
The three sovereigns of Heaven, Earth, and Man often had to act cautiously to avoid incurring the hostility of the sages.
In reality, even the Jade Emperor of Heaven was only at the peak of the sixth star.
The Queen Mother of the West is still a bit lacking; right now, she might only be at the sixth-star high level.
Over the years, Cao Ya has relied on numerous insights to break through realms one after another, and has also attained the Quasi-Saint realm, reaching the third level, which is equivalent to the ultimate level of the initial six-star realm.
The Quasi-Saint realm has nine levels: the first three levels correspond to the initial level of the six-star system, the middle three levels correspond to the intermediate level, and the last three levels correspond to the advanced level of the six-star system.
The peak of the six-star level requires either an unconventional saint or a weak Hunyuan!
Cao Ya's overall combat strength is comparable to that of a Quasi-Saint at the Ninth Level, but compared to weaker Primordial Realm cultivators like Zhen Yuanzi and Styx Daoist, he is still inferior and falls behind by a step.
"I'm not trying to get involved in the Investiture of the Gods, but rescuing the Holy Mother of Ghosts... is enough."
Cao Ya thought to himself, "The Holy Mother of Ghost Spirits has now broken through to the Quasi-Saint level, reaching the initial stage of the Six-Star Realm. Her strength is not low. However, the ferocity of Mosquito Daoist must be even greater. He is probably at the advanced stage of the Six-Star Realm, which is the peak of the Quasi-Saint level."
But as long as he hasn't obtained the Weak Hunyuan certification, Cao Ya is confident he can handle it.
Although it was the Guide Daoist who subdued the Ghost Spirit Mother... Cao Ya would definitely avoid such a powerful figure, a seven-star level expert, and would never dare to offend him!
Cao Ya even felt that the two leaders of the Western Sect, the Guide Daoist, were superior to the Zhunti Daoist.
"Perhaps, the Guide Daoist is already at the middle level of the Seven Stars, while the Zhunti Daoist is only at the initial level of the Seven Stars..."
Cao Ya shook his head and gave a self-deprecating smile.
He hasn't even reached the peak of the sixth star level, so how dare he comment on a terrifying character at the initial level of the seventh star level?
