Chapter 84 The Laws Support the Heavens, Pingxin Leaves the Underworld, Hongjun Appears.
At this moment, not only were many powerful beings contributing their strength, but countless living beings in the primordial world were also contributing their strength to prevent the merging of heaven and earth.
They all knew very well that if heaven and earth were merged, the primordial world would return to chaos.
When the primordial world returns to chaos, all things cease to exist, and the chaotic energy assimilates everything. At that time, the primordial world will also cease to exist.
If the primordial world were to return to chaos, there would be no second Pangu to create a new primordial world. Without a new world, how would they return?
Great supernatural beings are not saints; they would certainly not be able to remain in chaos for long.
They are not saints. Saints can refine the chaotic energy, but they cannot. With their current strength, although they can temporarily resist the erosion of the chaotic energy, if it goes on for too long and their own magical power is completely exhausted, then they will be gone.
When that time comes, the chaotic energy will begin to corrode their physical bodies and assimilate their primordial spirits. At that point, they will face only death.
In this way, all living beings in the primordial world would certainly not allow heaven and earth to unite, and at this moment they would all do their best to prevent the merging of heaven and earth.
Chen Qing watched as Buzhou Mountain collapsed, and the massive mountain crumbled, feeling a deep sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi - mixed feelings of sorrow and reflection).
Looking at the massive Buzhou Mountain, he shook it helplessly.
He stretched out his right hand and took the entire body of Mount Buzhou into his palm, then separated it into three hundred and sixty-five worlds.
At this moment, the Six Sages of Heaven and the group of powerful beings all turned their gazes toward Chen Qing when they saw him make his move.
At this moment, everyone hoped that Chen Qing would take action to help them stop the merging of heaven and earth.
Chen Qing ignored the gazes of the crowd, glanced at the primordial world, and then sighed helplessly.
"Ugh!"
"Gonggong did a poor job in this matter. For his own selfish reasons, he caused the prehistoric world to fall into such a state."
After saying this, Chen Qing looked around at the surrounding world, glanced at it, and then looked up at the sky above, where endless celestial river water was pouring out of the huge hole.
The endless waters of the Milky Way kept flowing back, and began to submerge many places on the primordial land, leaving all races of beings to stand on the high mountains.
Chen Qing shook his head helplessly, looking at the countless creatures of the primordial world, and finally decided to take action.
He glanced at the large hole, mobilized the power of the Milky Way within his body, and unleashed a palm print that directly sealed the hole, preventing the Milky Way water from flowing back out.
"Nephew Chen Qing, quickly lend us a hand and stabilize the situation."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qing looked at Taiqing Laozi, then at Tongtian Jiaozhu, and seeing that Tongtian Jiaozhu also nodded, he nodded in agreement.
Behind him appeared a massive river of laws, which, once manifested, connected the heavens above and the earth below, standing upside down and supporting the heavens and the earth.
With Chen Qing's support, the Six Saints and all the great supernatural beings breathed a sigh of relief.
At least for now, they have stopped the trend of merging the primordial world.
At this moment, a spatial fluctuation appeared on the battlefield. Chen Qing looked at the spatial fluctuation and knew that someone had arrived.
After the spatial fluctuations disappeared, it was Lady Pingxin, who had been in the underworld, who arrived in this world.
After the Empress Pingxin appeared, she glanced at the world around her, shook her head with a deep sense of helplessness, and sighed.
"Ugh!"
"With the destruction of the Heavenly Pillar and such a calamity befalling the primordial land, Gonggong bears an unforgivable sin!"
"Gonggong returned to Mount Buzhou, the pillar of heaven, and destroyed the sacred mountain formed from the spine of the father god Pangu. He should be cast into hell to atone for his sins. Only after he has paid off the sins he committed here can he return to the primordial world."
After speaking, Lady Pingxin immediately sent Gonggong to the underworld.
Seeing this, none of the powerful beings dared to disagree, after all, Lady Pingxin was the number one person in the sect and of noble status.
Empress Pingxin did not intervene to support the sky, but instead looked at Chen Qing.
"Fellow Daoist Chen Qing, it's been a long time."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qing nodded in agreement.
"Fellow Daoist Pingxin, it has been a long time."
After exchanging greetings with Chen Qing, Lady Pingxin looked at the empty space to the side and slowly spoke.
"Fellow Daoist Hongjun, now that we've arrived, please show yourself. If you don't, they'll have no confidence."
As soon as Lady Pingxin spoke these words to the void beside her, Dao Ancestor Hongjun's figure appeared.
"Fellow Daoist Pingxin, Fellow Daoist Chen Qing, it has been a long time since we last met."
Upon seeing this, Chen Qing and Lady Pingxin also returned the greeting to Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
Hongjun Daozu glanced at everyone, nodded in satisfaction, and then looked at Pingxin Niangniang.
"Fellow Daoist Pingxin, the pillar supporting the heavens has shattered. Do you acknowledge the power of this calamity?"
Upon hearing this, Lady Pingxin glanced at Dao Ancestor Hongjun and nodded in agreement.
"This time, Gonggong acted impulsively and destroyed Buzhou Mountain. I will bear the karma for this on behalf of the Wu clan."
The Goddess Pingxin calmly agreed, taking on the karmic burden on behalf of the Wu Clan. After all, this whole affair was caused by Gonggong, and since she had done it, she had to accept the consequences.
Upon hearing this, Hongjun Daozu nodded in agreement.
"Very well, since you say so, then let this matter be settled. As for the resulting karma, the Wu Clan will have to repay it."
After saying this, Hongjun Daozu looked at the Six Saints and the group of great supernatural beings, and slowly spoke.
"If the primordial world were to merge, you too would one day perish. Know that the primordial world is your only support. If the world were to disappear, how could you possibly survive?"
After saying this, Dao Ancestor Hongjun glanced at everyone indifferently, and then looked at the Six Sages of the Primordial World.
"I will not intervene in this calamity that has befallen the world; you are the ones who should mend it."
After saying this, Dao Ancestor Hongjun waved his hand to stabilize the primordial world.
With the intervention of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Lady Pingxin also joined the effort. Under the combined efforts of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Lady Pingxin, and Chen Qing, the world was finally stabilized.
At this moment, everyone felt a sense of relief and was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
Everyone looked at Dao Ancestor Hongjun and bowed to Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Lady Pingxin, and Chen Qing.
After bowing, the six saints and the group of powerful beings stood quietly in the void, waiting.
Everyone knew that the work of mending the sky had not yet begun, and the pillar supporting the sky had not yet been found. Without the pillar supporting the sky, they couldn't just let the three big shots continue to support it like this.
At this moment, everyone quietly awaited the decree of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
Chen Qing, however, remained calm, as if everything was irrelevant to him. At this moment, he was simply stabilizing the heavens and earth to prevent them from merging again.
Empress Pingxin was the same; at this moment, she was only concerned with stabilizing the world and ignored everything else.
