Once Zhou Xingdou's identity was confirmed, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the entire Desolate Heavenly Emperor City, who knelt and worshipped him, even displaying a fanatical devotion. If it weren't for the High Priest Wang Zizai intervening, Zhou Xingdou would have had a hard time escaping for a while.
To avoid disturbing Zhou Xingdou, Wang Zizai had no choice but to invite him into the thatched hut. After respectfully serving him tea, he slowly said:
"After the deaths of General Zhiyang and Lord Yutianwang, the Desolate Heavenly Dynasty was practically destroyed. Coupled with the rampant spread of evil spirits, only a handful of people have survived from that era to the present day. It is truly wonderful to see you, Star Emperor, once again..."
At this point, Wang Zizai murmured somewhat sadly:
"Unfortunately, they can't see it..."
Zhou Xingdou sighed. This was inevitable. Even without the lifespan limit, it would be extremely difficult to live from that era to the present without reaching the Innate Realm.
After all, even the Supreme Yang General and the Jade Heavenly King are dead.
However, Wang Zizai is alive today, which is equivalent to a living fossil, and he must know a lot.
After Wang Zizai had been lost in thought for a moment, Zhou Xingdou asked:
What happened after I left?
Upon hearing this, Wang Zizai quickly perked up, a look of reminiscence in his eyes, and began to recount his story in detail…
Similar to the information Zhou Xingdou saw in his diary, nothing unexpected happened after he left, and Xiao Tianzuo successfully achieved the Heavenly Dao with the authority of the Fourth Heaven Realm.
The name that was vaguely recorded in the diary, just as Zhou Xingdou had guessed, was the Heavenly Emperor.
Our ancestral land once had another name: the Primordial Wilderness!
Because Xiao Tianzuo is the first Heavenly Dao in all the heavens, this concept is enough to benefit all the heavens, so he received great blessings from all the heavens, and those who will achieve the Heavenly Dao in the future will all be under his command.
He was also revered by the Primordial Heavenly Court as the Great Unified Heavenly Dao.
The Four Heavenly Sacred Domains, having become the Heavenly Dao Sacred Domains, were no longer closed off. During this period, they flourished and constantly searched for Zhou Xingdou's whereabouts and the Primordial World.
But one day, Xiao Tianzuo suddenly ordered that they should stop searching.
Countless years passed, and then the Great Dao suddenly went mad. Wang Zizai didn't know the specific details, but he remembered that the entire heavens were trembling. The Heavenly Court mobilized all its forces to try to suppress the Great Dao, but rivers of blood flowed, and they were no match for the Great Dao.
Ultimately, the Heavenly Emperor, the Three Pure Ones, and the Four Emperors sacrificed themselves, inciting the entire ancestral land to bombard the Great Dao, thus suppressing the Great Dao and plunging it into a period of weakness.
However, the price for doing so was that the ancestral land was shattered, countless beings in the ancestral land died, and the Heavenly Emperor, the Three Pure Ones, and the Four Emperors all perished completely.
Originally, although the heavens paid a heavy price, they had finally calmed down this incident. Even though there was no longer a Heavenly Court, the unified Heavenly Dao balanced the heavens. With the Heavenly Dao balancing the world, the destruction of the ancestral land and the Heavenly Court did not affect the operation of the heavens.
But one day, Xiao Tianzuo suddenly became weak without warning. The Desolate Heaven Empress invited many beings to investigate, but none of them could find out the reason.
Xiao Tianzuo also fell into a long slumber, but he would occasionally wake up for a long time. With the suppression of the Desolate Heaven Empress, the Heavenly Dao Sacred Domain did not experience any trouble.
However, when Wang Zizai emerged from seclusion one day, he discovered that the Heavenly Dao Sacred Domain was in turmoil. Xiao Tianzuo had awakened at some point and was constantly bringing disasters, causing great suffering to the people of the Heavenly Dao Sacred Domain.
Fortunately, this time Empress Huangtian quickly woke up Xiao Tianzuo, but strangely, Xiao Tianzuo did not remember what he had done, he only felt very tired.
Seeing that Xiao Tianzuo's symptoms were getting worse, Empress Huangtian had no choice but to go out and look for a solution after Xiao Tianzuo fell into a deep sleep again.
However, during this period, the Demon Abyss at the center of the Heavenly Dao Sacred Domain was strangely revived, and countless monsters that had never been seen before rushed out, which the world later called demons.
Fortunately, the Heavenly Dao Sacred Domain is no longer what it used to be. Even without the Desolate Heavenly Empress, it still managed to hold back the evil spirits.
But unexpectedly, Xiao Tianzuo appeared again this time, bringing disaster to the Heavenly Dao Sacred Domain, which caused the evil forces to rise greatly, directly breaking through the defenses and invading the four Heavenly Domains.
What's even stranger is that this time Xiao Tianzuo targeted Liu Bailian, directly expelling him from the Heavenly Dao Sacred Domain and locking it down again, preventing any being from entering or leaving.
But when Xiao Tianzuo woke up, he still didn't remember doing those things, and he became even weaker.
Until one day, Xiao Tianzuo killed Zhiyang Tianjiang, and then killed Yu Tianwang who had accused him...
Then came Xiao Tianzuo's last appearance. He was extremely lucid that time, and he told Wang Zizai and the world about Zhou Xingdou's prophecy that he would return to save him. After clearing away the evil spirits of the Heavenly Dao Sacred Domain, he disappeared.
Since then, it has never appeared again.
Later, the Heavenly Dao Sacred Domain became what it is today. The Demon Abyss still exists, and evil spirits continue to rage. Wang Zizai and generations of cultivators in the Heavenly Dao Sacred Domain resisted the evil spirits and protected the last piece of pure land in the Desolate Heaven Domain.
After Wang Zizai finished speaking, several hours had passed, while Zhou Xingdou listened attentively and quietly.
Wang Zizai was ultimately one of those trapped in the Heavenly Dao Sacred Domain. Even though he had lived long enough, the information he provided was not comprehensive enough; it could only be considered as supplementing some information in the diary.
But he knew nothing about why Xiao Tianzuo went mad, or where the Desolate Empress and Liu Bailian had gone.
However, Zhou Xingdou was still somewhat apprehensive after Wang Zizai confirmed the shattering of the primordial world he knew.
This also made him question the system.
The Heavenly Court was almost completely wiped out, and the ancestral land was shattered, with all living beings buried together.
Why is it that my system can summon Princess Iron Fan, Nezha, Li Jing, and others?
And then there's the Zhou family. It's almost certain that the Zhou family is of the bloodline of the Ziwei Emperor. Why were they able to escape this calamity? And why did they even make a special trip to Chuyuan?
Daydreaming won't get you answers, and the system is practically mute when it comes to these kinds of questions.
Perhaps finding his father would unravel these mysteries, so Zhou Xingdou immediately asked:
"I heard from Liu Qing and the others that decades ago, a Green Emperor descended and helped you reverse the situation?"
"Yes, that was about forty years ago. At that time, the power of the demons increased, and I could no longer hold on by myself. Most of the Desolate Heaven Domain was invaded."
But at that moment, the Heavenly Dao Sacred Domain suddenly swallowed up nearly ten Great Luo Immortals who were even stronger than the old slave. These people were originally fighting each other, but when they saw the demons, they all took action and wiped them out.
The most outstanding among them was the Azure Emperor. If he hadn't advanced his cultivation ten years ago and repelled that demon who surpassed the Great Luo level, the Heavenly Dao Sacred Domain would probably have completely fallen.
Wang Zizai's words were filled with relief, and he then said:
"Moreover, I feel that this is due to the unification of the Heavenly Dao. Although Lord Tianzuo has disappeared, the unification of the Heavenly Dao continues to operate on its own. It must have sensed the crisis and then sought out these people to swallow them into the Heavenly Dao Sacred Domain."
