"Even if I sacrifice the Great Unity, I cannot reverse your childhood, but I can reverse the time when you first went astray, and make amends for the people you lost and the mistakes you made."
This is what Grandpa wanted to do, and it's the only thing he could do.
Zhou Xingdou's eyes were already brimming with tears as he looked at his grandfather:
"Grandpa, is it worth sacrificing the unification of the empire for me?"
But Zhou Wuji suddenly changed the subject and patted his grandson's head:
"Grandson, don't talk nonsense. I didn't want that unified empire anymore. Look, I've created a new unified empire, which is much stronger than the old one!"
As he spoke, Zhou Wuji held up his palm, revealing an exquisite model that covered countless paths.
Zhou Xingdou was also taken aback by his grandfather's sudden change of tone. The atmosphere had been built up, but one sentence had dried up his tears. However, looking at the unified model that covered all things, Zhou Xingdou still exclaimed in amazement:
"What kind of unification is this? It feels inferior to my disciple's Heavenly Dao Unification."
Zhou Wuji said with a hint of smugness:
"That's natural, otherwise why would I sacrifice the old one?"
Emperor Zetsu, who had been ignored by the grandfather and grandson, could no longer contain himself and let out a cold snort:
"What a show-off! Who's confident they can rebuild a new empire after sacrificing the old one?"
Just as Zhou Xingdou was about to be moved again, he heard his grandfather say to his maternal grandfather:
"That's because you're stupid. If you had my talent, you wouldn't have wasted so long in the Hunyuan realm and even had the nerve to accept the title of the First Demon Emperor. If I were you, I would be ashamed."
Emperor Jue Tian was immediately enraged by Zhou Wuji's words:
"Zhou Wuji! I'll fight you to the death today!"
Zhou Wuji then waved provocatively:
"Come here, I'll let you kill me with my beard, even with my hands and feet."
Startled, Stephen Chow quickly stepped between the two, separating his two close relatives and trying to smooth things over:
"No, no, no, Grandpa, please don't be angry. We're all family. How can we fight all the time?"
Emperor Juetian, knowing full well he couldn't defeat Zhou Wuji, immediately seized the opportunity to back down, pointing at Zhou Wuji and saying:
"You old bastard, I'll let you go today for my grandson's sake!"
Zhou Wuji didn't provoke him further, but he did click his tongue twice in a mocking manner:
"Tsk tsk."
Emperor Jue immediately became displeased and was about to continue his anger when Zhou Xingdou quickly grabbed his grandfather and pulled him aside.
"Grandpa, please don't take it to heart with my grandfather."
Emperor Jue Tian snorted coldly, clearly genuinely angry. He patted his beloved grandson's shoulder, then glared fiercely at Zhou Wuji, and snorted again.
"snort!"
He then turned and left in a huff, wanting to avoid seeing or being bothered by it.
Zhou Xingdou wanted to chase after him to persuade him, but his grandfather stopped him:
“Come here, my dear grandson. Don’t mind your grandfather. He’s always been stingy. He’ll come back after he’s calmed down.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xingdou had no choice but to return to his grandfather's side.
At this moment, Zhou Wuji stopped joking and his expression returned to composure:
"My cultivation has surpassed that of my ancestors, but I am still powerless to contend with chaos."
Mentioning chaos, Zhou Xingdou's expression also turned solemn. He exhaled a long breath and asked his grandfather:
"Then why did Xiao Tianzuo say that only I can suppress the chaos?"
Zhou Wuji did not answer, but looked at Zhou Xingdou and said quietly:
"Only he knows."
"Grandpa can only do his best to prepare. If chaos revives, the first to be affected will be me and the other three Great Unifications. The Primordial Chaos power outside will also be on our side. If we can't stop it, we can only rely on you."
What could Stephen Chow say? He could only helplessly reply:
"We can only do our best."
"Grandpa has nothing more to say. If you can't stand those mushy things, neither can Grandpa."
With that, Zhou Wuji waved his hand and turned his face away:
"Go visit the other unified empires; the person you want to see is among them."
"Yes, grandson takes his leave."
After Zhou Xingdou finished speaking, he bowed to his grandfather and then went to pay his respects to the other unified lords in the direction his grandfather had indicated.
The second Great Unification was someone Zhou Xingdou did not recognize and had no connection with. He was a child-like Daoist boy.
The young Taoist sat upright amidst the chaotic sea, transcending the world, ethereal and boundless. It seemed as if he were a being, and yet everything was him; it was indescribably wondrous.
The young Taoist also noticed Zhou Xingdou, and immediately tilted his head to look at him, his childish voice ringing out:
"So you are Zhou Wuji's grandson? The heir to the Great Unification of Heavenly Dao?"
Zhou Xingdou dared not be negligent and bowed, saying:
"Junior Zhou Xingdou greets senior."
The young Taoist nodded, glanced at Zhou Xingdou, and then asked curiously:
"Hmm? You've practiced my magic?"
Stephen Chow frowned:
"What method?"
The young Taoist smiled slightly:
"The Laws of the Heavenly Realms".
Zhou Xingdou raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected that the young Daoist in front of him would actually be the one who created the Dao Realm of All Heavens.
However, it makes sense. Anyone who can create the laws of the myriad heavens must be someone who stands at the highest position. As one of the four great unifiers, this Daoist boy certainly has such abilities.
"Indeed, I have practiced the methods of my predecessors. I thank you."
Zhou Xingdou bowed respectfully, after all, he had indeed practiced the other person's magic, which was equivalent to receiving their favor, so it was always good to be polite.
The young Taoist shook his head and said:
"No need to thank me. I have spread this knowledge far and wide, but unfortunately, this method has very high requirements for aptitude, and not many people can cultivate it. Your ability to cultivate it is due to your own efforts."
Having said that, the young Taoist stood up and bowed respectfully to Zhou Xingdou from afar:
