[CHAT GROUP]
Zhao Gongming: "If I remember correctly, Kunpeng was still alive when I died! He occupied a large area in North Blue and established a force called the Demon Leader's Palace."
Dongfang Yuechu said sharply: "Demon Leader?"
Hongyun: "That's right! Kunpeng created writing for the demon clan and is the teacher of the entire demon race. After Dijun and Taiyi recruited him, the title they bestowed upon him was 'Demon Leader.'"
Howard Stark: "Dijun and Taiyi are the Golden Crows in Eastern mythology, aren't they?"
Hongyun: "The bodies of Dijun and Taiyi are indeed the three-legged birds born in the sun—Golden Crows. They founded the celestial court of the demon clan and ruled the entire demon race. Group Leader, how is my old friend Zhen Yuanzi doing?"
Lucas: "He's fine, and as far as I know, he faces no danger."
Hongyun: "That's good! If not for his protection back then, I might have perished long ago. Even in the final battle, he helped me tremendously. If he were in trouble, I would be deeply concerned."
Zhao Gongming: "The Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi? I know him! He's a guest of the Three Thousand Zixiao Palace like the Group Leader, and he's also the ancestor of the Earth Immortals."
Hongyun said in confusion: "What is 'ancestor of the earth immortal'?"
Lucas: "That's Zhen Yuanzi's title! His companion treasure Lingbao Dishu can communicate with the prehistoric lands and even inspire the power of the prehistoric ancestors. He uses the Earth Book to seal the earth immortals and instructs them to manage the prehistoric land, hence he's the ancestor of earth immortals."
Hongyun said with relief: "It seems Zhen Yuanzi is doing well—that's reassuring. I hope he won't become involved in future calamities and can live peacefully forever."
Lucas: "Don't worry, Zhen Yuanzi has tremendous luck. As long as he doesn't court death himself, there's little chance of his downfall."
Zhao Gongming wondered: "Why do you say that? Although Zhenyuanzi is the ancestor of Earth Immortals, his influence shouldn't be that significant, right? You must know that even our saint disciples risk complete downfall."
Lucas: "After the world shattered, the newly born world was called Dixianjie. As the ancestor of Dixian, can you imagine Zhen Yuanzi's luck? It far surpasses your so-called saint disciples."
Zhao Gongming said in shock: "The prehistoric world is shattered?"
Hongyun also said blankly: "Impossible! The prehistoric world is incredibly powerful—how could it shatter? Moreover, the saints manage the prehistoric world; they wouldn't allow it to break apart!"
Zhao Gongming: "Yes! After Buzhou Mountain collapsed back then, the Group Leader and others joined hands to repair the prehistoric world!"
Hongyun said in shock: "Buzhou Mountain collapsed? That's impossible! It's the backbone of Pangu's divine body, with strength comparable to innate treasures. How could it collapse?"
Howard Stark: "Buzhou Mountain? I know a story about Gonggong's anger causing Buzhou Mountain to fall. It seems Gonggong knocked it down."
Hongyun categorically said: "Impossible! Gonggong is one of the twelve ancestors of the Wu clan, and his strength is at quasi-sage level. How could someone of his power topple Mount Buzhou? Moreover, the Wu clan disrespects heaven, earth, and sages—they only respect Pangu. Why would Gonggong destroy Buzhou Mountain, formed from Pangu's backbone?"
Lucas: "Because of the calamity! The calamity weakened the mountain and drove Gonggong insane. Additionally, the main battlefield of the Lich War was near Buzhou Mountain, and successive self-destructions of powerful beings severely damaged it."
Hongyun said blankly: "Is that so? If Buzhou Mountain broke, the sky would collapse. Did the saints prevent the destruction of the world?"
Lucas: "Yes! The Way of Heaven had already prepared to repair the sky by replacing Buzhou Mountain with the limbs of a huge black tortoise. Nuwa used her fortune-based methods to refine sky-repairing stones, and the sky was mended to close the gaps."
Hongyun: "If that's the case, why did Honghuang transform into a Dixianjie world? Could there have been a flaw in the saints' repairs that failed to completely prevent Honghuang's destruction?"
Lucas: "No, there was no issue with the saints' repairs. Although the Lich calamity caused Buzhou Mountain's collapse, it didn't fundamentally damage the world. What truly caused the shattering of the world was the conflict between saints during the God-conferring calamity."
Zhao Gongming was stunned: "The saints fought during the God-conferring calamity? Is it possible that the Group Leader and others also participated in the Emperor Tribulation? Impossible! They are all Primordial Saints—they couldn't be subject to calamity."
Hongyun echoed: "Exactly! Although the calamity is terrifying, it's not powerful enough to affect saints!"
Lucas: "True, the imperial calamity cannot directly affect saints, but it can affect their disciples. If all disciples perish, the saints' sects will exist in name only."
Dongfang Yuechu: "This means that while the calamity can't directly affect the saints, it can indirectly impact them through their disciples?"
Lucas: "Correct! Although the Tongtian Sect Leader isn't affected by the Emperor calamity, how could he remain indifferent when all his disciples are killed or wounded?"
Zhao Gongming sighed and said: "We have failed the Group Leader! He warned us at the beginning of the calamity and instructed us to stay behind and avoid it. We disobeyed his orders and were killed in the disaster, ultimately drawing the Group Leader into the calamity."
Hongyun: "Group Leader, what happened in the God-conferring calamity? And the Lich calamity—I don't know much about these events. After all, I died relatively early and lack understanding of these matters."
Lucas: "The cause and history of the Lich Tribulation are straightforward. Two powerful forces, the Wu clan and the demon clan, both sought to dominate the world and fought for supremacy. Later, Dijun's ten sons provoked the Wu clan, and the sky emptied, making life difficult for the earth-dwellers."
Lucas: "Kuafu, a Wu clan powerhouse, was killed in the battle to expel the ten golden crows. The descendants of Kuafu's friends created bowmen who shot down nine golden crows one by one. The tenth would have been shot as well, but Dijun killed the bowman before he could fire."
Lucas: "What happened afterward needs no elaboration. The incidents with Kuafu's descendants and Hou Yi shooting the suns became the catalyst for the Lich War. The Lich and Yao clans then fought a decisive battle. Both sides were devastated, and Buzhou Mountain collapsed."
Howard Stark: "I can find these stories in Eastern mythology, but I never expected such connections between them."
Hongyun: "Dijun, Taiyi, and the Twelve Ancestral Witches never advanced to become Primordial Saints, did they?"
Lucas: "Of course not! The position of saint in the prehistoric world isn't easily attained. As far as I know, the seventh saint in the prehistoric world never appeared."
