Chapter 147 The Primal Universe's Fundamental Will
Latest plot update: Click to follow.
"settle down?"
Wang Shu stared at Xu Qiankun in astonishment, her eyes filled with confusion.
Didn't you say you were just coming to browse around Chaos? How did you end up settling down here?
"You really think we're just here for a stroll?"
"Isn't that right?"
"Of course not," Xu Qiankun shook his head helplessly, choosing to tell the truth: "We came here to seek refuge."
"Seeking refuge?"
Wang Shu was even more confused.
As one of the most powerful innate gods and demons in the world, those who could pose a threat to her might include Rahu, who possesses the God-Slaying Spear.
But there probably isn't a single one that can pose a threat to Xu Qiankun, who is already at the Quasi-Saint realm, and who has the innate supreme treasure Qiankun Cauldron, the lotus platform he sits on, and the Qiankun Great World protecting him.
"Are there any beings in the primordial world that could pose a threat to you, fellow cultivator?"
Wang Shu voiced her doubts.
"Of course there are; even the Primordial Heavenly Dao can threaten me."
Although both He and Wangshu were born in the primordial world, even the Great World of Qiankun belongs to the primordial Heavenly Dao.
But who can blame Him when He has already left the primordial world? No matter how powerful the primordial Heavenly Dao is, it can't possibly come through the chaos. In this chaos, let alone revealing secrets, even if someone were to curse the primordial Heavenly Dao, He wouldn't be able to sense it.
Even if you sense it, there's nothing you can do about it.
Unless the saints return to their rightful places, the primordial Heavenly Dao can command the saints to attack him.
"The Way of Heaven?"
Wang Shu was even more confused.
"That's right, it is the Heavenly Dao." Xu Qiankun nodded, his expression becoming solemn. "To be precise, it is a great calamity..."
Xu Qiankun recounted the entire story of the Great Tribulation, causing Wang Shu's face to turn deathly pale. She looked worried and asked, "In that case, aren't Fellow Daoists of the Five Elements and Yin Yang in danger?"
"It is indeed very dangerous," Xu Qiankun nodded. "I also wanted to take them with me to leave the prehistoric world and come to this chaotic world to avoid the calamity, but the will of Heaven is hard to defy. They themselves do not want to leave. In the prehistoric world, I cannot tell about the great calamity, nor can I force them to leave."
Xu Qiankun's face was full of helplessness.
In the entire primordial world, the only people He recognized as friends were Wang Shu, the Five Elements Ancestor, and the Yin-Yang Ancestor.
Knowing that staying in the primordial world would inevitably lead to the demise of the Five Elements Ancestor and the Yin-Yang Ancestor, making them nourishment for that old silver coin Hongjun, Xu Qiankun had no choice but to accept it.
"Is a great calamity really that dangerous?"
Wang Shu still couldn't quite believe it.
"It's even more dangerous than this," Xu Qiankun said with an extremely solemn expression. "If you and I stay in the prehistoric world, when the great calamity arrives, we won't be able to escape it even if we want to. Whether we do it willingly or unwillingly, we will inevitably be caught up in it."
"Did you see that Yinglong from the Dragon Clan? He fought like a madman, and after being injured by the White Tiger, he immediately chose to self-destruct without any hesitation. This was because his mind was clouded by the calamity."
"this..."
Thinking of Yinglong, Wangshu's face turned even paler.
She witnessed that guy self-destruct with her own eyes.
As a peak-level innate god-demon, he was already immortal. Even if his body was reduced to dust, he could be resurrected as long as a trace of flesh remained.
However, Yinglong's decision to self-destruct immediately after being injured was indeed strange.
"Alright, don't overthink it," Xu Qiankun said with a smile. "Now that we've left the Primordial World, even if the Great Tribulation is brutal, it can't do anything to us. Just focus on your cultivation, and we'll return after the Great Tribulation is over."
"it is good"
Wang Shu nodded and then began her cultivation.
While absorbing energy to restore the power of his divine and demonic true form, Xu Qiankun also comprehended the Great Dao of the origin of life.
......
In the Swallowed Star World, in the Milky Way Heavenly Palace, Xu Qiankun sat cross-legged, his terrifying will, which had already surpassed the ultimate realm of God King, penetrating into the core of the primordial universe, crudely comprehending the Great Dao of the Origin of Life that the primordial universe had mastered.

Suddenly, a wave of will, tinged with timidity yet also brimming with bravado, came through him, warning him not to go too far.
"The Primordial Will of the Universe"
Xu Qiankun stopped his comprehension of the fundamental Dao of life and looked at the somewhat weak will deep within the primordial universe.
The primordial universe was born from the supreme rules and is a celestial body comparable to the ultimate realm of a god-king, but its will is not very strong, only at the level of a chaotic overlord.
This is precisely why, as long as one's will reaches the level of a Chaos Overlord, it is possible to successfully seize control of the primordial universe.
With Xu Qiankun's current level of willpower, seizing control of the primordial universe would be a matter of a single thought; the difference is simply too great.
Buzz
The primordial cosmic will continued to emanate fluctuations.
"You don't need to be afraid, I have no interest in possessing you."
Buzz
"But you must be obedient and open your core for me, so that I may comprehend the fundamental Dao of your life."
Buzz
"Don't worry, I won't possess you, nor will other powerful beings of my human race. However, if they need to comprehend the Great Dao of Life, you must cooperate, otherwise, things might not be so simple."
Xu Qiankun smiled and reassured the primordial will of the universe, but his words contained a hidden threat.
Buzz
Upon receiving the message from the primordial will of the universe, Xu Qiankun refused without hesitation: "Impossible. Your crisis is none of my concern. Unless I am offered appropriate compensation, I will not intervene."
Buzz
"You're threatening me," Xu Qiankun sneered. "Dare you refuse to let me comprehend the Great Dao of Origin? Believe me or not, I'll possess your body right now!"
Buzz
"The great calamity is targeting me? Then let it come and see who lives and who dies!"
Xu Qiankun was fearless. Although his current strength was only that of a universe master, he could easily become a god emperor if he wanted to.
Even without breaking through, before his powerful will, even an eternal god could only die in regret.
"Don't worry, as long as you don't target me, I won't make a move against you. If you want to deal with the great calamity, just follow your own rules, and I will absolutely not stop you."
Under his threat, the primordial universe obediently revealed all its mysteries and laws, exposing the complete Dao of the origin of life before him.
Xu Qiankun then analyzed it step by step, and then integrated it into the Qiankun Great World, quickly transforming it into his own insights.
"I have a premonition that as long as I fully comprehend and integrate the seven Great Daos—the Great Dao of the Origin of Life, the Great Dao of the Origin of Destruction, the Great Dao of Time, the Great Dao of Space, the Great Dao of Yin and Yang, the Great Dao of the Five Elements, and the Great Dao of Creation—into the Great Dao of Qiankun, the Great Dao of Qiankun will truly transform, and I can easily become a Primordial Golden Immortal."
"How difficult it is to fully comprehend these seven great principles."
Xu Qiankun shook his head slightly.
These seven Great Paths, if mastered, can lead to becoming a peak Great Luo Golden Immortal or the ultimate God King.
Throughout the entire Origin Continent, how many people have truly reached the ultimate realm of God King through their own comprehension of the Great Dao?
Even in the higher-level primordial world, apart from those innate gods and demons who were born with a complete Great Dao, how many powerful beings reached the peak of the Great Luo realm through their own enlightenment without taking shortcuts?
It was only by chance that Qiankun encountered the Chaos Pearl, a treasure that was almost perfectly compatible with the Great Dao of Qiankun, which could help him quickly comprehend the profound mysteries of the Great Dao. Otherwise, the difficulty for him to attain the Primordial Dao would be extremely high.
"Now I have comprehended most of the Five Elements Dao, Yin Yang Dao, and the Dao of the Origin of Life."
"I have also comprehended 30% of the Great Dao of Destruction."
"With the Void-Piercing Spear and the Azure Lotus of Creation in hand, I have also gained considerable insight into the Great Dao of Space and the Great Dao of Creation."
"Only the Great Way of Time remains unresolved."
Spiritual treasures containing the Great Dao of Time are extremely rare; Xu Qiankun has never encountered one. He does know some gods and demons who cultivate the Great Dao of Time, such as Zhulong of the Dragon Clan and Zhujiuyin of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
However, these two are extremely important characters, and He cannot move them now.
"Therefore, if one wishes to comprehend the great principles of time, perhaps one must still walk the paths of this world."
Xu Qiankun's thoughts returned to the world of Swallowed Star.
The Time Hawk Avatar, the Nether Sea Avatar, and the World Tree Avatar worked together with the human main body to comprehend the fundamental Dao of life.
The Bone Giant clone and the Golden Source Beast clone were venturing deep into the spaceship.
Two avatars were piloting a divine-king-level Yin-Yang Immortal Palace deep within the cosmic vessel.
His purpose in coming here was certainly not to search for so-called treasures or precious resources.
These things are completely insignificant to Xu Qiankun now. The treasures that Qiankun God and Demon can casually refine are probably no less valuable than this spaceship.
What he was looking for was the legacy of the Wu Kingdom within this spaceship.
"We've finally arrived at the core of the spaceship."
Inside the Yin-Yang Immortal Palace, Xu Qiankun's Golden Source Beast clone became excited upon seeing the spatial barrier in front of him.
"The protective barrier set up with the Great Path of Space has the power of both spatial isolation and spatial cutting. Even if an eternal true god came, he would not be able to break in."
"But this is not difficult for me at all."
The Golden Source Beast clone appeared outside the Two Elements Immortal Palace wearing a Taiyi Golden Immortal-level battle armor. It thrust out a spear, also a Taiyi Immortal artifact, and struck a spatial node.
Ka Ka Ka
The balance of the spatial barrier, which had been in place for countless years, was broken, immediately emitting cracking sounds, and eventually shattered completely.
"Let's go in and take a look."
Xu Qiankun flashed and entered the space barrier.
Just then, within the spatial barrier, a consciousness that had been dormant for countless years suddenly awoke.
