After passing the test again, Zhou Xingdou arrived at the same void. However, unlike before, this time after waiting for a while, neither the test nor the melodious ancient sound appeared.
Zhou Xingdou was still a little confused. Could it be that he had already cleared the level, but he didn't see any other figures around him, nor did he see the so-called Heavenly Heart descend.
But just after Zhou Xingdou's exploration of the mist ended in failure, a golden light condensed in the center of the void.
Zhou Xingdou's eyes lit up instantly. He reached out and grabbed the golden light, but when he looked at it, it was not the Heavenly Heart, but a tattered ancient book.
Why do we say it's incomplete?
Because its cover appears to have been corroded by something, leaving only half of it, and it is very thin, you can tell from holding it in your hand that there are not many pages inside.
"Could it be some ancient martial art?"
Zhou Xingdou frowned and, seeing that there was no further movement in the void, opened the tattered ancient book.
After turning it over, Zhou Xingdou was stunned for a moment.
This is a yellowed page of a diary, with many parts of the text blurred and illegible, but some words are still legible.
[Master was right. My path did indeed become the Heavenly Dao. With the Great Hand... and the authority of the Heavenly Realm, I became... the Heavenly Dao.]
Zhou Xingdou was shocked and quickly continued reading.
[I became..., but discovered that there was no Heavenly Dao in the heavens. I was the first Heavenly Dao, and there were four heavens..., but the ruler of the heavens seems to be a world called the Ancestral Land. There... found me and said that I... brought balance to the worlds and honored me as the Great Unified Heavenly Dao.]
The first page ends here. Although many paragraphs are incomplete and some are blurry, Zhou Xingdou can still make sense of them.
This is the diary left by his disciple, Xiao Tianzuo!
Although it was incomplete, the information left on just the first page was enough to make Zhou Xingdou's mind explode!
It was something Zhou Xingdou expected that Xiao Tianzuo would become the Heavenly Dao of the Four Heavens Sacred Domain, but he did not expect that Xiao Tianzuo would actually be the first Heavenly Dao in all the heavens!
And it even mentioned the ancestral land!
The world that rules all the heavens is the ancestral land. Someone there found Xiao Tianzuo and honored him as the Great Unified Heavenly Dao.
My uncle said that the Heavenly Dao Sacred Domain is the place where one attains enlightenment and unifies the Heavenly Dao. So, the Four Heavenly Sacred Domains are the Heavenly Dao Sacred Domain?
His own parents were trapped in the place where his disciple attained enlightenment?
Stephen Chow felt his mind was a bit of a mess.
Knowing that Xiao Tianzuo is the one who unifies the Heavenly Dao, and that the Heavenly Dao Sacred Domain is naturally under Xiao Tianzuo's control, then why would he imprison his master's parents?
Zhou Xingdou couldn't figure it out, so he quickly turned to the next page.
[My master and I have been searching for him. We found the Primordial World he spoke of, but it's not as powerful as he described. Like the former Four Heavenly Sacred Domains, it's just a five-star world. Master isn't here either. I feel so lost. Master, where are you...?]
Seeing this, Zhou Xingdou felt a pang of unease. He desperately wanted to cross the timeline between the past and the future to tell Xiao Tianzuo the truth, but unfortunately, he couldn't.
[I found the ancestral land... and asked him to help me find my master, but here I saw a figure who looked exactly like my master, even sharing the same bloodline... He told me that it was Ziwei... who governs the Dipper above, examines the records of calamities and destinies, and rules Fengdu below, restraining the hordes of ghosts and demons. In the ancestral land, it is second only to...]
In our ancestral land? Looks just like me? We share the same bloodline?
Zhou Xingdou was slightly taken aback. Xiao Tianzuo was looking for someone from the ancestral land, but the writing was unrecognizable, like a tangled mess.
However, when mentioning someone who is very similar to herself, she always mentions Ziwei.
This reminded Zhou Xingdou that the Zhou family were not native beings of the Primordial World, but came to the Primordial World after making a deal with the Heavenly Dao. As for where they came from, no one told him.
Now it seems that the Zhou family probably came from that ancestral land, and Xiao Tianzuo said that the figure looked just like his own, so it is very likely that he was an ancestor of the Zhou family!
Above, it governs the Dipper, examining and verifying the records of calamities and fortunes; below, it commands Fengdu, restraining the hordes of ghosts and demons.
Adding the name Ziwei, along with various past events.
Even if Zhou Xingdou were completely senile at this moment, he would still be able to figure out who this ancestor who looked so much like him was.
He was probably one of the Four Emperors in mythology, the Great Emperor of the Central Heaven Purple Star and the Northern Pole!
Xiao Tianzuo searched for that person and said that the Ziwei Emperor was second only to him, so it was self-evident who that person was.
The only one who can suppress the Ziwei Emperor is the Heavenly Emperor!
The ancestral land is probably the Heavenly Court!
That was the primordial world!
Stephen Chow felt a little numb and was afraid to think any further, so he quickly looked down.
[I understand! Master is from the future!]
A very short sentence has been preserved intact.
This put Zhou Xingdou at ease, and a smile unconsciously crept onto his lips as he murmured:
"It's good that you know, it's good that you know..."
The information on the second page ends there as well; the rest is either incomplete or completely illegible, and the text on it is insufficient to form useful information.
Without interruption, Zhou Xingdou immediately turned to the third page.
[My master and I have returned to the Primordial World. Here, I enlightened a primordial being, named him Tianjizi, and imparted some insights into the Heavenly Dao to him, hoping he can quickly become a Heavenly Dao and elevate the Primordial World to six stars.]
Zhou Xingdou was stunned at this moment, not expecting that Tianjizi was actually related to Xiao Tianzuo.
Why does this beast keep targeting me? Is he repaying kindness with enmity?
Unfortunately, only this one section of the page is complete; the rest is not just blurry, but covered by an indelible stain, making it impossible to read the information below.
Zhou Xingdou hurriedly flipped through the pages, only to find that after the third page, the entire ancient book was completely torn apart, with at least several hundred pages torn off, leaving only one fragment.
But even this one incomplete page, merely the beginning, made Zhou Xingdou's pupils shrink.
[The Great Dao went mad, the ancestral land shattered, ... died, ... Ziwei ... also died, ... all died...]
But the Great Dao finally fell silent, too weak to continue… I was so tired, I just wanted to sleep. But Master Huang seemed panicked, yet told me to hold on. She said that if I just persevered, Master would appear…
Has the Great Dao gone mad? Has the ancestral land shattered?
How could the Great Dao go mad?
Isn't the ancestral land the only eight-star world in all the heavens?
Why did the ancestral land shatter?
Have the Heavenly Emperor and the Ziwei Emperor died?
They're all dead?
Zhou Xingdou was struck by the sheer volume of information in this passage.
The Great Dao went mad, and the people of the ancestral land all died in order to restore the Great Dao to normal, but did the ancestral land also shatter in the process?
Zhou Xingdou could only piece together this explanation from it, but he couldn't figure out why the Great Dao had gone mad, nor could he possibly figure it out.
