Daoism Revival System: Start with fighting against Debunker Streamer

Chapter 675 - 674: Celestial Dao Hongjun, Earthly Dao Houtu [Part 1]

Emperor Haotian’s expression was somewhat heavy, he watched the young Daoist Lord emerging from the mist with a look of uncertainty.

For some reason.

Compared to before, Emperor Haotian felt that the person before him now seemed to have become more unfathomable.

"I didn’t expect the Daoist Lord to still be alive; it’s truly a great joy."

Despite feeling a bit tense inside, at least on the surface, Emperor Haotian maintained a calm and composed demeanor.

He looked Lin Heng up and down, seemingly trying to discern any injuries or fatigue from the battle, but found nothing, which made him increasingly puzzled and curious:

"I don’t know how the Daoist Lord managed to escape the entanglement with that Candle Dragon?"

Lin Heng didn’t hide it and responded casually, "I once chanced upon the lost eyes of the Candle Dragon. After returning those eyes, it no longer troubled me."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Haotian couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, "The eyes of the Candle Dragon were gouged out during a great war in the Primordial Era, and after millions of years, you actually found them? This..."

He couldn’t help but sigh, "Daoist friend, your fortune truly defies the heavens..."

While speaking, Emperor Haotian suddenly realized something and looked directly at Lin Heng, "So, when the Candle Dragon occasionally turned long nights into instant daylight, it wasn’t that it was going mad, but rather you were using its eyes to engage in a magical duel with it?"

"Yes." Lin Heng did not deny it and nodded calmly.

Emperor Haotian couldn’t help reflecting, his gaze turning towards the Supreme Celestial Abyss with some thought, "So, the return of those eyes is the reason the Candle Dragon just now erupted with the breath of a living Saint?"

"Perhaps."

This time Lin Heng did not explain further, he lightly shifted the topic, "I’ve come here actually to seek some answers from the Emperor about certain matters."

"Oh?" Emperor Haotian’s eyes slightly narrowed, "Please, Daoist Lord, ask."

Lin Heng asked directly, "Why does the Celestial Dao Saint Hongjun want to reckon everything?"

The moment the question was asked, unsurprisingly, Emperor Haotian’s expression drastically changed, and he fell into silence.

Lin Heng did not rush him, he calmly observed his counterpart, patiently waiting.

Actually, such a question wouldn’t be answered by anyone outside, but it’s different here in Qingqiu, where time and space are independent, avoiding some causal effects.

Emperor Haotian remained silent for a long while, then seeing Lin Heng’s patient and inquisitive gaze, he sighed helplessly and finally said in a deep voice:

"Actually, it’s not about reckoning the world, to be precise, it’s about reckoning with a certain existence."

"That existence is too deeply hidden, the Celestial Dao Saint could never find it, so he could only use a world-ending method to restart everything."

Lin Heng’s eyes slightly narrowed, Emperor Haotian’s words left him a bit shocked.

"Who is it?"

"That makes the Celestial Dao Saint willing to destroy the world to find it out?"

Lin Heng pondered, frowning, "Could it be Pangu the Great God?"

Even though it’s well-known that Pangu the Great God exhausted himself after creating the heavens and earth.

Yet the world is full of mysteries.

Such as this Qingqiu place, which can resurrect the deceased.

The possibility of Pangu’s return cannot be entirely ruled out.

The key thing is.

Beside Pangu, Lin Heng couldn’t think of anyone else who could make the Celestial Dao Saint apprehensive?

Before, Lin Heng did not have a specific concept of Pangu’s power.

In his mind, Pangu should not differ much from the Three Pristine Dao Ancestors.

But, after refining Pangu’s heart in the Supreme Celestial Abyss, Lin Heng truly realized how terrifying this God who established the Primordial Chaos truly was!

Just one heart elevated Lin Heng’s Saint’s Breath by a full three thousand strands!

This truly made Lin Heng understand what it meant to feel like a frog in a well contemplating the moon without cultivation, only to realize it was a tiny mayfly looking to the heavens after cultivation.

Upon reaching the level of a living Saint, Lin Heng finally understood what kind of existence Pangu was!

He could affirm.

Pangu definitely surpassed any living Saint by a significant margin!

So, if there’s an existence that makes the Celestial Dao Saint Hongjun wary.

Lin Heng believes it must be the departed Pangu!

However, to Lin Heng’s surprise, Emperor Haotian shook his head, denying his hypothesis.

"No, it’s not."

But Emperor Haotian added, "Yet it indeed has to do with the apprehension of Pangu."

"Because that existence is the only one possibly able to resurrect Pangu."

"Therefore, the Celestial Dao Saint must find it and resolve it."

"Who exactly is it?" Lin Heng grew increasingly curious.

Emperor Haotian said, "This humble one cannot be certain, but during the years following the Celestial Dao Saint, I noted a saying which may be what it’s about."

Lin Heng’s eyes slightly narrowed, "What saying?"

Emperor Haotian solemnly said, "The Dao produces fifty, the heavens reflect forty-nine, leaving one escape..."

BOOM!

The Qingqiu Celestial Realm suddenly flashed with world-shattering violet lightning, crackling, shaking all spirits in fear.

Lin Heng squinted his eyes and exchanged a grave look with Emperor Haotian, "It is that... one?"

"So..."

"Who is that one?" Lin Heng murmured softly, contemplating.

"Who knows." Emperor Haotian laughed resignedly, then suddenly said meaningfully, "Actually, a long time ago, the Celestial Dao Saint suspected someone and initiated a great tribulation, orchestrating all parties to eliminate that person."

"Unfortunately, it was wrong."

"Do you know who I’m talking about?" he asked with a smile.

Lin Heng’s eyes slightly narrowed in deep thought, he slowly spoke a name.

"Transformed into reincarnation, Lady Houtu?"

"Exactly." Emperor Haotian said, "The Saints in this world are divided into three types: heavenly, earthly, and others."

"The Earthly Saint, Lady Houtu, is the only one who can establish rules and designate Saint seats just like the Celestial Dao Saint!"

"As they say, there are nine yang and six yin."

"The total number of mortal world seats is established by the Celestial Dao Saint."

"The Underworld seats are designated by the Earthly Saint."

"Of course, the Saints from the Early Primordial such as your Daoism’s Three Pristine Ones, Lady Nuwa, Taichu, Zhunti, and Jieyin, are not bound by these rules, as they relied on their strength to prove the Dao."

"They endured a far more difficult Saint’s Tribulation, thus their powers are often even more formidable."

"For later Saints, the strength of their tribulations depends largely on whether the rule-setter wishes to support them, thus their powers often greatly differ."

"However, no matter what kind of Saint, it is difficult for them to surpass the rule-setter."

"Therefore, the rule-setter of the Earth, Lady Houtu, was, for a very long time, the most concerning existence for the Celestial Dao rule-setter, Hongjun."

Emperor Haotian’s explanation left Lin Heng profoundly shaken, unable to remain calm.

He knew Lady Houtu’s esteem was extremely high.

But he never expected it to be this high...
