Ping Xin bestows the Six Paths of Reincarnation Plate, the Book of Life and Death, and the Judge's Pen upon Zhao Feng, granting him the Tunnel Authority. This move alarms Ksitigarbha and the Ten Halls Yama, who fear the shift in power could destabilize the Underworld and align it with the Qin Court.

He still stood there proudly.

Displaying the bearing that belonged to the Crown Prince of Great Qin.

However, at this moment, Zhao Feng could also clearly feel the might of a Saint.

"Saint..."

Zhao Feng inwardly sighed: "No wonder they say all beneath the Saint are but ants."

At this moment, a solemn expression appeared on Zhao Feng’s face, as though he were reflecting: "With my current strength, I actually feel a sense of insignificance before this Holy Power. The gap... is vast."

"Unless my All Attributes ascend to ninety-nine thousand and reach Perfection, perhaps then, with such strength, I could battle a Saint—still needing to rely on Magical Treasures and the like—otherwise it’s simply impossible to engage a Saint."

Zhao Feng thought to himself in the depths of his heart.

The might of a Saint is truly no empty claim.

This is genuine power—beneath the Saint, all are ants.

"This Palace..." Ping Xin gazed at Zhao Feng, flames of vengeance burning in her eyes, and said in a low voice: "shall have revenge!"

With the word "revenge" spoken.

Boom, boom, boom!

The entire Underworld was violently trembling.

It even alarmed Heaven and Earth.

Above the Heaven Realm.

The first to sense it was naturally the Supreme within Doushuai Temple.

"The Underworld, the Earth Dao."

In this instant, the ever-calm Ping Xin was gone; it was as if the Ancestral Witch Houtu of old had returned, bearing endless fury and resolve.

"Good."

Hearing Ping Xin’s words, Zhao Feng laughed, immediately nodded, joy blossoming on his face, as though everything lay within his expectations.

"You tell This Palace."

Ping Xin slightly raised her head, a trace of urgency and expectation in her gaze: "How shall we take revenge? If This Palace hands the Tunnel Authority of the Earth Dao to you, can you truly sever and destroy Hong Jun?"

Ping Xin pressed him again, her eyes fixed tightly on Zhao Feng, not allowing a single ripple on his face to escape her notice.

"No." Zhao Feng shook his head, his movements steady, then said: "In ancient days, when Pangu God opened up the Primordial Heaven and Earth, the Heaven, Earth, and Man Three Rules were ordered. The Heavenly Dao appeared first, presiding over the order between Heaven and Earth, rewarding and punishing, Karma and Merit Points, holding the greatest Authority."

"The Earth Dao, meanwhile, presides over the Reincarnation of living beings, bearing all things with its vast virtue."

"The Human Dao inherits the will of all beings. The Heaven, Earth, and Man Three Rules each differ, but all exist to perfect Heaven and Earth."

Within these words.

Zhao Feng had already spoken out the essence of the Heaven, Earth, and Man Three Rules.

"Yet, throughout innumerable years, Hong Jun has usurped the Heavenly Dao Authority, suppressing the Earth Dao and Human Dao from emerging. Compared to the Heavenly Dao Authority he controls, the revived Earth Dao and Human Dao are in no way his match."

A grave look appeared on Zhao Feng’s face: "Though I have yet to truly cross blows with Hong Jun, back during the Divine Enthronement, he was able to overawe all Saints. His Strength is certainly above Saint Level, perhaps having already stepped into a realm beyond the Saints."

Zhao Feng said in a deep voice, his tone carrying a sense of awe toward Hong Jun’s Strength.

Though he had never seen him.

He had seen the Supreme and knew how terrifying the Supreme’s Strength was.

Although the Holy Power Ping Xin displayed was incomparably mighty, Zhao Feng could feel that, compared to the Supreme, Ping Xin might still not be his match.

Within the Primordial Heaven and Earth, the most terrifying person was the Supreme.

"Then you, taking the Tunnel Authority of the Earth Dao and yet no match for Hong Jun—how is This Palace to take revenge?" Ping Xin stared at Zhao Feng, doubt and anger in her eyes. She stepped forward, questioning him.

"Lady."

Zhao Feng smiled faintly, still without the slightest panic, and continued: "Authority itself is opportunity."

"Now that the Human Dao has broken free of the Heavenly Dao’s suppression, the revival of my Human Dao lies in all living things, lies in the Qi Fortune of living beings."

Zhao Feng lifted his head, meeting Ping Xin’s gaze: "At present, the collective will of all beings that my Human Dao holds already encompasses the hundreds of billions of living Spirits of the Eastern Continent of the Divine Continent. In the decades to come, the innumerable beings upon the East Sea will also fall under the Human Dao. Once this step is reached, the power possessed by the Human Dao will be sufficient to attain Saint Level."

"As for why the Earth Dao is now utterly suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, it is precisely because the Earth Dao has never truly displayed its Authority’s Power."

Zhao Feng’s eyes grew sharp: "The Earth Dao governs the Reincarnation of all things under Heaven and Earth, yet the current Reincarnation channels—the Earth Dao’s guidance—is all operating beneath the Rule Power of the Heavenly Dao. It simply cannot allow the Earth Dao to fully revive."

"If the junior is allowed to preside over the Earth Dao."

Zhao Feng’s words carried a tone of calculation, a grand plan for the future: "The junior can let the Power of Earth surge forth fully within the Human Dao’s domain of Qin, no longer relying on the Rules set by Heavenly Dao Hong Jun. This will also make the Earth Dao grow stronger, and release the true Power that belongs to the Earth Dao."

"In this way, Lady, you will be able to truly shatter the seals of the Heavenly Dao and re-enter the mortal world."

"In the future, for vengeance, you will also hold greater Strength."

Zhao Feng directly laid out his plan. Now that Ping Xin already harbored the thought of handing the Tunnel Authority to him, Zhao Feng naturally had to strike while the iron was hot.

Only thus could he completely move Ping Xin.

Hearing Zhao Feng’s words, Ping Xin wore a contemplative look. She slowly closed her eyes, as if carefully measuring every word Zhao Feng had spoken within her mind.

The surrounding air seemed to solidify; even time itself fell still at this moment.

After all!

To oppose Heavenly Dao Hong Jun—this goal seemed far too distant.

Yet when she thought of her own kin, thought of her elder brother’s fall, all of it brought about by Heavenly Dao Hong Jun, how could Ping Xin endure?

A trace of struggle flashed through her eyes, then turned into firm resolve.

"Furthermore..." Seeing Ping Xin pondering, Zhao Feng continued: "The Supreme—he is the Primordial Spirit of Pangu God manifest. From the junior’s conversations and understanding with the Supreme thus far, he inherits Pangu God’s will and has always stood in opposition to Hong Jun."

"The Saints vanished, the Heavenly Dao fell silent."

"This entire sequence of events is also because of the Supreme."

"In this Great Calamity, the Supreme bears tremendous designs aimed at dealing with Hong Jun."

"This battle shall decide the future of the Primordial Heaven and Earth."

Zhao Feng spoke again, continuously raising the stakes.

To make Ping Xin thoroughly stand on the opposing side of Hong Jun, to avenge the Ancestral Witches of old, he had to do this—let her see hope, see the possibility of contending against Hong Jun.

Only thus could Zhao Feng obtain the Tunnel Authority of the Earth Dao. This too was part of Zhao Feng’s plan.

The Earth Dao and Human Dao, in the future war against Hong Jun, were destined to play a tremendous role.

Otherwise, within the Primordial Heaven and Earth, with the Heavenly Dao as Sovereign, Hong Jun would indeed be nearly impossible to contend with.

Only by borrowing the Earth Dao and Human Dao, these powers of the same origin and root, could Hong Jun truly be opposed, even stripped from the Heavenly Dao itself. Thus, even if Hong Jun were slain, the future would not harm the Primordial Heaven and Earth.

The Supreme, in choosing to support Zhao Feng and Qin, was likely because he had seen the existence of the Human Dao and wished to borrow the Human Dao in the future to deal with Hong Jun.

Other than this, Zhao Feng could think of no other reasons.

And this journey to the Underworld—besides winning over Ping Xin, what was even more crucial was obtaining the power of the Earth Dao.

Should Zhao Feng grasp these two Daos, there was no need to think further; his Strength would surely soar. The power of two Daos—even a completely suppressed Earth Dao—was still unimaginable.

"Good!" After a brief moment of contemplation, Ping Xin finally made her decision and uttered a single word: good.

She abruptly opened her eyes, a glint of grim determination flashing within.

Clearly, she had accepted Zhao Feng’s plan.

She also thought of avenging her elder brother. With her alone, it was utterly impossible.

Even if she held the power of the Earth Dao, she remained sealed within the Underworld, suppressed by the Heavenly Dao’s power.

She could not break it.

To shatter it, she could only rely on Zhao Feng, only place her trust in Zhao Feng.

Besides that.

Her only choice was to continue enduring.

Yet she simply could not endure.

At once, Ping Xin closed her eyes, her aura surging.

Crash

! A terrifying Holy Power burst forth, accompanied by the Power of Earthly Dao Rules within the Netherworld of the Underworld, roaring outward.

The Book of Life and Death, the Judge’s Pen, and a vessel that bore the Earth Dao—a Six Paths of Reincarnation Plate—directly circled around Ping Xin.

They emanated mysterious radiance, resonating with Ping Xin’s aura, and the entire Underworld shook violently under this power.
