Chapter 4

Zhao Luan recounted the events and said, "Mother, it's all because of Chen Tiangui. If it weren't for him, Second Brother wouldn't be in this state."

Seeing the loving gaze in Chu Xiu's eyes, Zhao Shuo felt a warmth in his heart and said, "Mother, I'm fine. I'm the older brother. As long as I'm still breathing, I won't allow anyone to bully my little sister."

Hearing this, Zhao Luan couldn't help but tremble and said, "Brother!"

Chu Xiu looked at Zhao Shuo with a look of relief and admiration and said, "Good, Shuo'er, you're right. As long as you and your sister are on good terms, I have no other wishes."

Furrowing his brows, Zhao Shuo said, "Unfortunately, we've offended Chen Tiangui this time. I'm afraid Chen Tiangui won't give up on his ambitions for my little sister."

Chu Xiu's eyes flashed with a cold light. After a moment of contemplation, she looked at Zhao Luan, who smiled gently and said, "Second Brother, Mother, you don't need to worry. Starting from tomorrow, I won't go to the school. I can stay at home and help Mother with some chores. No matter how arrogant Chen Tiangui is, he wouldn't dare to cause trouble at our home in broad daylight."

Chu Xiu nodded and said, "That's the only way."

Zhao Shuo couldn't help but say, "But my little sister still has a year before she graduates."

Zhao Luan smiled and said, "Second Brother, don't forget, I'm smarter than you. I've already learned everything I need to. I might even know more than what you've learned. Besides, there are many people who don't have the conditions to attend school. Compared to those in the mountains and countryside, we are already much better off."

Hearing this, Zhao Shuo couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed. Even with his thick skin, he felt uncomfortable being praised by his younger sister, but what could he do when his previous self wasn't very smart?

Seeing Zhao Shuo's awkward expression, Chu Xiu reached out and tapped Zhao Luan's forehead, saying, "You little girl, how can you speak about your brother like that? He has always protected you."

Zhao Luan stuck out her tongue at Zhao Shuo and said, "Second Brother, I'm not laughing at you, it's just that..."

Chu Xiu glanced at Zhao Shuo, a smile playing on her lips, and held Zhao Luan's hand, saying, "Alright, no more explanations. Your brother is injured, let him rest."

In the following days, Zhao Luan stayed at home to help Chu Xiu with household chores and spent time with Zhao Shuo. Zhao Shuo didn't waste this opportunity and learned a lot about the world from Zhao Luan.

According to legend, the Primordial World was created by an ancient deity from the chaos. Later, countless great cultivators were born, who studied the principles of the ancient cosmos and comprehended the great truths of heaven and earth. After they understood the secrets of the ancient cosmos, they emulated the ancient deity and opened up the chaos at the edge of the Primordial World, further expanding it. They aimed to strengthen the Primordial World and, through the act of creation, comprehend more of the great truths of heaven and earth, perfecting their cultivation paths.

Those who comprehended and mastered several great truths and became nearly indestructible were called Dao Masters, meaning the masters of great truths.

Of course, cultivation has no end. Below the great truths are the principles, and above the great truths is the Dao. When some Dao Masters created their own paths through the act of creation, the worlds they created merged with the Primordial World, giving birth to a new cosmos that contained the secrets of their cultivation paths. Those who could create a cosmos as grand as the ancient cosmos and transcend it, merging with one or several great truths, became immortal and great beings. Such Dao Masters were extremely rare and were called Great Dao Masters.

Great Dao Masters, having touched the existence of the great truths, were eternal, as the principles beneath the great truths were everlasting.

It is said that besides the Great Dao Master who created the ancient cosmos, eight other Great Dao Masters created their own paths. When they fully created a new cosmos, the heavens trembled, and a diagram of Dao essence was born in the cosmos, which later became known as the Inheritance Star Map, a treasure of Dao essence.

Initially, there were only nine Inheritance Star Maps, each containing part of the great truths and numerous principles, corresponding to the secrets of a complete cosmos. They could harness the power of a cosmos, and their strength was so great that even Great Dao Masters took notice. These were the nine Primordial-level Inheritance Star Maps, which were treasures of Dao essence.

Unfortunately, countless Dao Masters were born in the ancient times. These great cultivators had boundless power and could manipulate the great truths with ease, almost on par with Great Dao Masters but unable to achieve immortality. They all wanted to take the final step to comprehend the great truths and become the supreme, immortal beings.

However, relying on their own cultivation, it was unknown when they could glimpse the supreme Dao and merge with the great truths. Thus, the nine Inheritance Star Maps, which contained numerous principles and were treasures of Dao essence, became the supreme treasures. Perhaps by studying these treasures and comprehending the great truths within, they could take that crucial final step.

The battles began. Those who had the资格 to compete for the nine Inheritance Star Maps were all ancient heroes and outstanding figures, each with boundless power capable of destroying heaven and earth. A destructive war that lasted for billions of years shattered countless stars in the nine cosmos. It was an era where Dao Masters were as common as dirt and Dao Respects were less valuable than dogs.

The Dao, the most mysterious existence, transcends the heavens and earth. From the moment the heavens and earth were born, the Dao has existed throughout time, omnipresent and incomprehensible, even to the supreme Great Dao Masters.

Under the power of the Dao, the nine shattered cosmos were completely merged, though each retained some of its original characteristics. The mystery and profundity of this merger left even the eight Great Dao Masters in awe.

Even the nine Inheritance Star Maps, as treasures of Dao essence, could not avoid being shattered into thousands of pieces and scattered in the ancient battles. Countless ancient Dao Masters fell, and their remains, vast as star systems, were left behind.

Seeing the new cosmos form, the countless fallen friends and disciples, and the shattered origins of their birth, the eight Great Dao Masters joined forces for the first time to gather the remains of most of the fallen Dao Masters in the boundless cosmos and bring them to the origin land.

The remains of the Dao Masters, their essence, energy, and spirit, transformed into the land, lakes, oceans, mountains, and forests. The forced gathering of countless Dao Master remains made the origin land the most peculiar existence in the world. This continent, formed from the remains of countless ancient Dao Masters, gathered a significant portion of the world's fortune. Whenever a Dao Master-level cultivator fell, a great cultivator would incorporate their remains into the continent. Over time, the continent grew boundlessly vast and prosperous.

When Zhao Shuo learned all this from Zhao Luan, a tidal wave of thoughts surged in his heart. He imagined the ancient times, where those great cultivators could reverse the heavens and earth and destroy stars with a single thought. They were truly powerful.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Shuo looked at Zhao Luan, who was filled with longing, and said, "Little Sister, I wonder who the ancient deity who first created this world is. He should be considered the ancestor of this world."

Zhao Luan pouted and said, "That deity hasn't appeared since creating this world. But later, people revered him as the Father Deity Pangu."
