388: Chapter 375 Hongjun's Defeat, the Reorganization of the Heavenly Dao

"No—!!!"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun let out a desperate, miserable scream. It was a roar of unwillingness, and also the mournful cry marking the end of an old era.

The axe light did not lose momentum; after shattering the jade plate of creation, it struck directly onto Dao Ancestor Hongjun's Physical Body, then slashed into the chaotic Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind.

A miraculous scene unfolded.

The four elements of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind—which had been violent, chaotic, and in the process of destroying the world—suddenly calmed down like tamed beasts after the axe light swept past.

The clear Qi rose, reforming into a clear sky.

The turbid Qi descended, re-solidifying into the heavy earth.

Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind each performed their duties, reconstructing a perfect order.

One axe opened the heavens.

The Universe was re-established.

Lin Feng withdrew his stance, and the phantom of Pangu behind him slowly dissipated, turning into specks of starlight that merged into this newborn world, as if paying tribute to this successor.

He stood in the Void Realm, gasping for breath, his whole body trembling, but his eyes were terrifyingly bright, filled with invincible confidence.

"Who else?!"

At this moment, he was the true Supreme of the Three Realms, the pioneer of a new era.

The ruins of Zixiao Palace.

Once a symbol of Supreme authority that even Saints had to kneel before, Zixiao Palace was now nothing more than broken walls and ruins, floating in the cold Chaos.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun was not dead.

Or rather, in this dimension, death was a false proposition.

His Physical Body had been completely shattered by that axe, returning to its Origin. At this moment, only a weak, flickering flame of his Primordial Spirit remained, shivering in the Void Realm.

Without the jade plate of creation, without Heavenly Dao authority, the current Dao Ancestor Hongjun was not even as good as an ordinary Grand Unity Golden Immortal. He was like a tyrant who had lost all power, desolate and pathetic.

Lin Feng walked step by step to the Primordial Spirit, looking down at him from above.

"History is written by the victors."

Dao Ancestor Hongjun's Primordial Spirit emitted a faint fluctuation, conveying a message of despair and bitterness, "Lin Feng, you won. You are the new Dao Ancestor. Devour me; devour me, and you will be able to complete the final thread of the Heavenly Dao Law, becoming the sole Dominator of this Universe, an omniscient and omnipotent god."

"You're still trying to tempt me?"

Lin Feng sneered, stretched out his hand, and a wisp of purple-gold flame ignited at his fingertips. That was the Human Race's fire of inheritance, specifically designed to restrain the Primordial Spirit of the Heavenly Dao.

"I said it before, I have no interest in being some Dao Ancestor. I also have no interest in eating you; I'm afraid of indigestion, and even more afraid of becoming as heartless and unjust as you."

"Since you like merging with the Heavenly Dao so much, then let you return to the Origin. Go and nourish the world you once wanted to destroy."

"Go!"

Lin Feng flicked his finger, and that wisp of fire instantly enveloped Dao Ancestor Hongjun's Primordial Spirit.

"Ah—!!!"

After a short and shrill scream, Dao Ancestor Hongjun's self-awareness was completely erased. That Primordial Spirit turned into the purest energy particles, blooming in the Chaos like brilliant fireworks, then dissipating between heaven and earth, feeding back into this world that he had been bleeding dry for countless years.

With the dissipation of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the entire Primordial world seemed to heave a sigh of relief.

A scent called "freedom" began to permeate the air. The mountain that had been pressing down on the heads of all living beings had finally disappeared.

Immediately after, a sudden change occurred. A huge, cold, emotionless golden eyeball appeared out of thin air above Lin Feng's head.

This was the instinctive will of the Heavenly Dao.

Having lost its original manager (Dao Ancestor Hongjun), it instinctively wanted to find a new host, a new spokesperson.

[Highest authority detected: Lin Feng.]

[Requesting Fusion...]

[After Fusion, you will gain omniscience and omnipotence, and you will become order itself. You will be eternally immortal.]

That huge eyeball projected a golden light toward Lin Feng; it was Supreme temptation, a ladder to the divine throne. As long as Lin Feng nodded, he could immediately become the god of this world, a true god.

But he would lose his emotions, lose his joys and sorrows, and become the next Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who only knew how to calculate gains and losses, cold and heartless.

"Merge my ass."

Lin Feng rolled his eyes and slapped that golden light away with one hand.

"I finally managed to merge the System and gain my freedom; I haven't even enjoyed life with my wife and kids enough yet, and now you want me to be your battery?"

"Get lost!"

Lin Feng formed hand seals, and the "Great Dao Saint Physique" within his body ran at full power, a will even more overbearing than the Heavenly Dao directly covering that big eyeball.

"Listen, big eyeball."

Lin Feng said to that Eye of the Heavenly Dao, his tone unquestionable, "From today on, I am your first-authority administrator. But I refuse to merge with the Dao, and I refuse to become your Puppet."

"I am going to rewrite the underlying code."

"I am going to set new rules!"

Lin Feng closed his eyes, and his vast Divine Thought instantly covered the entire Three Realms and Six Paths.

He saw the Mortals crying in the ruins, the confused Yao Race, and the bewildered immortals. He saw the wounds of this world, and he also saw hope.

"First rule: The Heavenly Dao is no longer high and mighty. Abolish the setting that 'all below the Saint are ants.' If a Saint lacks virtue, they can also be pulled down from their pedestal!"

Lin Feng's fingers moved rapidly in the Void Realm, golden runes falling like a waterfall, forcibly merging into the Eye of the Heavenly Dao.

"Second rule: Abolish the monopoly on Luck. All living beings are equal; everyone can be a Dragon! As long as one is willing to work hard, even a Mortal has the chance to attain the Primordial Dao! No more discrimination based on bloodline, no more distinctions based on Origin!"

"Third rule: Open the Spiritual Qi locks. Let Spiritual Qi return to the earth; it will no longer gather only in famous mountains, great rivers, and blessed lands. I want to make this Primordial world a fairyland everywhere!"

"Fourth rule..."

Lin Feng thought for a moment, a mischievous smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

"Give everyone a 'System'. Of course, the simplified auxiliary version. Let them see their own attributes, gain rewards through tasks, and communicate with each other."

"I want to turn this dull, stagnant cultivation world into a vibrant—large-scale holographic online game!"

[Command confirmed.]

[Reconstructing underlying logic...]

[Progress: 10%...50%...100%.]

[New Heavenly Dao V2.0 version online.]

Boom—!!!

At this moment, the entire Primordial world began to rain golden rain. This was not ordinary rain; it was a rain of Karma, and also a rain of data.

Everyone touched by the rain, whether they had broken limbs or suffered from terminal illnesses, was instantly healed.

Even more miraculously, a light blue translucent interface appeared on everyone's retina.
