Stephen Chow's move may seem foolish, but it was actually quite clever.
Don't forget, he is an anomaly as stated by the system, untouched by karma. Whether it's a vow from Heaven or a vow from the Great Dao, it's really no different from bragging.
No oath could bind him; even the most venomous oath could be broken at will, without incurring any punishment.
However, others were unaware of this matter, and a single sentence was enough to make most people hesitate to act, thus reducing a lot of trouble for Wan Tianzhou and the Yin-Yang Cave Master in the future.
Zhou Xingdou's act of making a solemn vow shocked everyone present.
Not only Wan Tianzhou and the Yin-Yang Cave Master, but even Xingyou Commander and Wei Fuzi beside him.
The Holy Mother of the Universe and the elders, including Wan Qianlong, were all utterly astonished on the sacred platform!
The gazes of the remaining hundreds of thousands of cultivators toward Zhou Xingdou changed.
Before Zhou Xingdou made his vow to uphold the Great Dao, many people might have thought that his compassionate words were just for show and not to be taken seriously.
But now that the oath has been made, almost everyone believes that those words came from Zhou Xingdou's heart, that the young master of the Zhou family had a bodhisattva's heart.
They had even forgotten who killed their Great Elder and how he suppressed them when he dominated the Holy Land of the Universe.
At this moment, I had only one thought in my mind.
Zhou Xingdou was unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness; he was truly a sage.
Zhou Xingdou never expected that his brilliant move would not only deter the villains but also earn him great prestige.
Today's events will likely cause a sensation throughout the entire Primordial Realm soon, and Zhou Xingdou's deeds today will undoubtedly create a huge uproar.
However, Zhou Xingdou couldn't think about these things too much, because his action of condensing tribulation clouds and sending down heavenly sounds in various parts of the Tai Shi Dao Domain with his grand wish had greatly exhausted him.
The dantian, which had never been fully explored, was completely depleted for the first time at this moment, and even his strength was somewhat weakened.
If Wei Luosheng hadn't been quick-witted and used the Confucian and Taoist teachings to help him, his actions just now would have caused him to suffer a severe deficiency and faint before he could activate the "Zhe" secret technique.
However, Stephen Chow could not show any weakness in this situation. He sat back on his throne and used the "Zhe" secret in his mind to make up for the deficit.
Just then, everyone snapped out of their shock at Zhou Xingdou's oath of the Great Dao. Wan Tianzhou's gaze towards Zhou Xingdou was beyond words; gratitude was the only word to describe it.
If it weren't for the power of the Great Dao that prevented him from kneeling, he probably would have had to kowtow to Zhou Xingdou several times to feel better.
But then he no longer hesitated; his Dao-true eyes surged with Dao principles, and his Great Dao oath echoed throughout heaven and earth:
"I, Wan Tianzhou, hereby swear that if Yin Yang Cave Heaven does not launch an attack, the Holy Land of the Universe will share eternal peace with it and there will be no more war!"
"If I break this oath, may all the forces of humanity condemn me!"
Even the seasoned master of Yin Yang Cave was stirred by the successive oaths of the Great Dao, but before he could utter his own oath, the white jade dragon below the sacred platform preemptively swore:
"I, Bai Yulong, hereby swear that if the Holy Land of the Universe does not bully Yin and Yang, the two sides will form an alliance of offense and defense, and will come to each other's aid in times of danger. If I break this oath, may my entire family be wiped out and my descendants be extinct!"
Bai Yulong's words, "May your whole family die," shattered the solemn atmosphere and made the Yin-Yang Cave Master's face turn somewhat ugly. After all, this meant that his own son's entire family had died, leaving him without descendants, which naturally implicated him as well.
Moreover, how can such an alliance be sworn so casually? The leaders of the two forces have just reached a peace agreement, and there is still a long period of adjustment between them.
Bai Yulong's oath has essentially set the tone for the future of Yin Yang Cave Heaven and the Holy Land of the Universe, leaving no room for reversal.
Zhou Xingdou raised an eyebrow helplessly. He hadn't expected that his oath would trigger a chain reaction, with everyone starting to make oaths on the Great Dao.
But they are not an exception, so how could they make such a vow so easily? Sometimes they can't be swayed by others, otherwise they will be the ones who suffer.
Fortunately, the peace talks have been agreed upon, and now almost no one can oppose them. Even if the remaining eight ancestors of the universe were to revive and want to break the peace talks, they would have to consider Wan Tianzhou's oath of the Great Dao.
As for Yin Yang Cave Heaven, it would be quite difficult to break ties, since the position of Cave Master in Yin Yang Cave Heaven is passed down through generations.
Bai Yulong's ancestor was not the kind of sect ancestor who had no blood relation to him, but a direct blood relative ancestor. The power of having his entire family wiped out was quite great, and it could easily have a significant impact if one was not careful.
I'm afraid Bai Yulong will have a tough time when he gets back.
After considering whether to create another alt account, the Yin-Yang Cave Master looked at Wan Tianzhou and Zhou Xingdou, and couldn't help but sigh, saying with a touch of vicissitude:
"As expected, heroes emerge from among the young. The world today... belongs to you."
After expressing his admiration, the Yin-Yang Cave Master looked at Wan Tianzhou and spoke again:
"When I get back, I will issue regulations, and once things are stable, you and I will sign a peace treaty and a defensive alliance under the witness of both sides."
Wan Tianzhou nodded:
"That's natural."
After speaking, the light on Wan Tianzhou's body slowly dissipated, the power of the Great Dao of the Universe gradually disappeared, his face turned pale, and his body slowly fell towards the Sacred Platform of the Universe.
Seeing this, Zhou Xingdou also withdrew his throne and transformed into lightning, returning to the Universal Sacred Platform.
Now that the oath has been made and the limelight has been gained, there's no point in making any further gestures.
Wan Tianzhou didn't need anyone's help. His condition was somewhat similar to Zhou Xingdou's back then. He was bearing an unbearable weight. Although it was only a result of the guidance that was not fully absorbed, it still injured his body, but he was not so weak as to be powerless.
As the power of the Great Dao of the Universe dissipated, the suppression of Wan Qianlong and other elders also vanished in an instant. One by one, the elders stood up, their eyes filled with complex emotions as they looked at Wan Tianzhou.
Wan Qianlong's face was gloomy, but he did not launch another attack, because things had come to this point and doing anything else would be futile.
No one pays attention to these elders anymore, because Wan Tianzhou has proven that even though his cultivation level is low, he, the new Holy Lord, is still the absolute controller of the Universal Holy Land.
Those who disagree may leave the Way of the Universe and take other forms of resistance.
"The Holy Lord is indeed a hero of our time. I admire him to the extreme!"
Wan Qianlong stared coldly at Wan Tianzhou, then, without waiting for Wan Tianzhou's reply, continued:
"Since the Holy Lord has such abilities, we useless people will not disturb the Holy Lord's decision. There are many things to do beyond the realm, and we old folks do not have time to waste in the Primordial Realm!"
After saying this, Wan Qianlong flicked his sleeves and disappeared with the elders.
After Wan Qianlong and the elders left, Wan Tianzhou naturally did not stop them, since they were the biggest obstacle in the Universal Holy Land.
"You all look so imposing, it really makes me hate you! Damn it!"
Bai Yulong looked at Zhou Xingdou and Wan Tianzhou and said through gritted teeth.
After all, they are about the same age. Wan Tianzhou has now become the Holy Lord of the Universe, and although Zhou Xingdou is still the young master of the Zhou family, his followers are comparable to a powerful force.
He was the only one still gambling every day in his position as the Yin-Yang God Child, enjoying every second of comfort.
