The array around them was vibrating violently. They were wrapped within a transparent layer. On closer inspection, they discovered that it was a fireball that had fallen right at them. It was noisy in front, and it looked like there were a couple of figures floating in the air, in the midst of battle. Different spells and sorcery flew about in the sky. The ground was burned. From time to time, bolts of lightning would strike down from the sky. There were also all sorts of sorcery charging down. That was exactly what that fireball was.

The group: “...” What was going on?

Hong Meng turned pale. He had forgotten that this was where he had placed the exit. With panic and awkwardness in his voice, he said, “Sorry, my lord. I opened the exit in the wrong direction. Please come back this way.” With that, he turned around and opened yet another passageway.

The few of them looked at him suspiciously and followed him through the passage, leaving the battlefield behind.

The scene in front of their eyes changed yet again. They were now in a place willed with purple Qi. A tall place stood in front of them, and three words were written in gold in front of the palace: Purple Night Palace.

They walked in and sat down in the main hall. Lonemoon was the first to speak. “Talk – what exactly is happening here? Why can’t the Heavenly Dao function on its own?”

Hong Meng trembled. He gritted his teeth, then explained all the details regarding his plane’s situation.

In summary, this plane was a coffee table. On it, were all sorts of cups and cutlery.

At first, thanks to Shen Ying’s efforts, the plane had been re-created. They were also the gods of creation – they were experienced when it came to setting up a whole new plane. There was no need for them to interfere. All they had to do was wait for the purple original source to settle into the plane. Naturally, living creatures would be born out of it. In fact, the plane was to grow like Shen Ying’s other plane – little realms were supposed to be born out of the same original source.

But this entire process was a long one. It was supposed to take millions or even billions of years. Hong Meng and the rest had been waiting patiently, but they began to feel lonely as they continued to face the empty plane day in and day out. People were bound to cause problems once they began to feel lonely. That was why the few of them began to mess around.

At the start, they just tried to stimulate the original source filled with purple Qi. They wanted it to grow faster. Of course, they did not dare to do anything too stupid. After all, it was the source of all living things. Their methods worked and more and more living things began to appear in their plane. First, divine phoenixes and dragons appeared. However, the purple Qi was not strong enough. So while the forms of divine beings appeared, those divine beings had no spiritual awareness. Take what he sent over earlier for example – all it could do was hatch immortal stones. Oh, no, it was a phoenix. These were the types of animals that the original source produced.

Later, as the purple Qi became more and more substantial, it began to produce living creatures with intelligence. There were many different species of living creatures. However, the spirits in the original source were mixed with all other types of auras. They were bound to be contaminated with remnant waste auras. These auras could only be eradicated after going through Samsara in the original source purple Qi over the years,

But since the creator gods were lonely, the living creatures were allowed to roam the plane first. Due to the waste auras that the living creatures carried, they all had innately explosive characteristics.What’s more, each of them carried God Power. Each race became stronger than the last. Thus, weak humans were dragged to the boundaries of life and almost became extinct.

Of course, every plane’s races were different. Some had more, some had less. Humans, however, were a different story! Perhaps because that plane was created by Shen Ying, this plane was more or less similar to Yi Qing’s. The humans were weak, but humans were prosperous! What’s more, humans did not live more than 100 years. As generations came and went, their ability to bring all the living creatures back to the plane increased. What’s more, the purple Qi in this plane was very similar to the River of Forgetfulness. The more souls there were in it, the stronger it became.

The other races, on the other hand, were too strong. They would live for tens of thousands of years, and would only reproduce once or twice every thousand years. Some could only reproduce once or twice in their entire lifetime. If they were left to their own devices, they would not produce enough souls to allow the original source to prosper. Instead, they would increase the burden on the purple Qi.

This was why although humans were weak, the Heavenly Dao favored them. Their prosperity was the foundation for all the living creatures’ existence. It was a pity that there was no way humans could survive under the threat of other more powerful creatures.

It was only then that Hong Meng and the others realised the gravity of the situation. They quickly isolated the humans from all the other races, but this was still not enough to get the Heavenly Dao running on its own. Without humans, other races remained in a mess.

They became more and more fearful as they watched the mess grow out of control. They did not dare to interfere once again, for fear of extinguishing the human race by manipulating the purple Qi like they did before.

But hope for the new system to run on its own dwindled as time went by. For each day that the Heavenly Dao remained problematic, the plane remained in grave danger.

So they thought of a solution – they would enter Samsara themselves and become a part of the Heavenly Dao. Once they reincarnated, they would lead the other living creatures to purify themselves of all the waste auras, in order to rebuild the system. That was why all but Hong Meng – forming the 12 strongest races – entered Samsara all at once.

They had big dreams, but reality let them down. The 12 people, after having entered Samsara, were no longer the gods of creation that they were before. They lost their memories, so that not only did they forget their missions, they became some of the strongest races in the plane because of the innate amount of God Power they had in their bodies. At last... they fought among themselves.

No matter how Hong Meng led them or hinted to them, he could not remind them of their original mission. Not one of the 12 of them gave a hoot about him. Instead, they were completely absorbed in their new lives. Leading the others of their own kind, they started a full-blown civil war between the different races in the plane.

The battle... had obviously spread to where the humans were hidden.

Now that there were more and more living creatures entering the original source purple Qi from the battle, the original source was becoming richer and richer in terms of souls. Yet, there was no sign of it producing more souls for the plane. Their problem now was no longer trying to expand the purple Qi, but trying to keep the purple Qi from exploding.

Hong Meng was at a loss. He had no choice but to run to Shen Ying and ask for reinforcements!

“Are you retarded?” Lonemoon glared at him. Even for Chef, Shen Ying only dared to allow him to reload. Where did they get the confidence that they would return as the same people even after entering Samsara? “This was the little problem that you were talking about?” It was no wonder that they saw a battlefield when they first entered this plane. The entire plane was probably in ruins!

“Wait!” He suddenly thought about something. “Don’t tell me you picked up those small animals while you walked through the battlefield before giving them to Shen Ying?”

Hong Meng stared blankly at Lonemoon and turned pale. Weakly, he said, “How can that be, Assistant Lonemoon? Ha ha ha...”

It was obvious that he did!

(â•°_â•?)#

“Forget it.” Lonemoon sighed. “Since you discovered that those 12 people were not doing what they were supposed to do, you should have realized how serious the problem is. Why didn’t you take action? Even if you forbade them from returning to this world, you could have forced them to enter the Samsara and come back as humans instead. Wouldn’t that have been better?” He was an ancient god. Surely he could have done at least that. He did not have to stand by and watch the situation spiral out of control.

“Er…”
