"Fellow Daoists, is there any way to help this Poor Daoist escape the Tribulation?"
The Dong Wang Gong looked hopefully at Hong Yun Zhen Yuanzi, Fuxi Nuwa asked.
If he can escape this Tribulation and this so-called fate, Dong Wang Gong might still be able to achieve something.
"But it was too late at this point."
As early as the first Immortal-Demon War, another Tribulation had already begun in this primordial Primordial Wilderness, and the Calamity Qi had already been born.
Fellow Dong Wang Gong, however, has already entered the Tribulation.
Once you enter the Tribulation, you cannot withdraw midway. The only thing you can do, fellow Daoist, is to completely overcome the Tribulation, and this is the only way.
However, even if you, Fellow Dong Wang Gong, survive the Tribulation, you cannot escape the destiny set for you by the Heavenly Dao and the Saint Hongjun."
Fuxi shook his head helplessly and spoke.
"It is fate and destiny. Now it is too late to regret. I only regret that Poor Daoist woke up too late."
He was blinded by the lure of the Old Thief Hongjun, who claimed to be the Head of Male Immortals.
With the Hunyuan Celestial Venerable and the Heavenly Dao Saint present, how could I possibly be the Head of Male Immortals in Poor Daoist Primordial Wilderness world?
This title will be a permanent burden to this Poor Daoist.
Very well, things have come to this, Poor Daoist utmost to seize a sliver of hope in this Tribulation.
Even if I am ultimately defeated in the Tribulation, Poor Daoist will still make things difficult for Di Jun and Tai Yi, and that Old Thief Hongjun.
Fellow Daoist Nuwa, I return this Hongmeng Purple Qi Poor Daoist to you.
Fellow Daoist is right, this Poor Daoist indeed cannot refine the Hongmeng Purple Qi."
The Dong Wang Gong's face showed a resolute expression, already prepared to fight the Demon Race to the death.
He took out the Hongmeng Purple Qi, and at this moment, there was no longer any trace of greed for Hongmeng Purple Qi on his face.
"Fellow Dong Wang Gong, why be so pessimistic? Doesn't the Immortal Court still have us?"
Furthermore, the Hunyuan Celestial Venerable dispatched their disciples to provide assistance.
This shows that the Hunyuan Celestial Venerable also stand on the side of the Immortal Court, or rather, on the opposite side of the Heavenly Dao and the Saint Hongjun.
Moreover, Dong Wang Gong is not entirely without hope; there's no need for you to adopt a suicidal mentality."
Hong Yun spoke with a smile, and upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope arose in Dong Wang Gong's heart, though he did not hold out much hope for it.
Zhen Yuanzi, Fuxi, Nuwa all nodded to Dong Wang Gong.
"In that case, Poor Daoist still have some value to the Hunyuan Celestial Venerable."
If Poor Daoist lose even my usefulness, I Poor Daoist I am doomed.
The Dong Wang Gong spoke with a clear understanding.
These words greatly changed Zhen Yuanzi, Fuxi Nuwa's impression of the Dong Wang Gong.
It seems that the Dong Wang Gong has truly awakened as if he has undergone a complete transformation.
"What you say is true, fellow Daoist, but aren't we all just pawns?"
However, we are unwilling to be pawns; one day we may become players.
"Poor Daoist will now point out a clear path for you, my fellow Daoist: this method is to put yourself in a life-or-death situation and then live."
Zhen Yuanzi took over the conversation and spoke.
What is the method of "putting oneself in a desperate situation to survive"?
"Fellow Daoists, please speak freely. Poor Daoist have Great Dao Vow to never reveal anything, and I will absolutely heed your suggestions."
If there is hope, who would be willing to fight to the death? They have cultivated diligently for countless Eon, all in pursuit of the Great Dao.
Upon hearing Zhen Yuanzi's words, Dong Wang Gong immediately pressed for more information.
"Fellow Daoist, have you ever heard of the Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell?"
There is a Primordial Wilderness, exotic species called the Six-Winged Golden Cicada.
When faced with an invincible enemy, it will molt, and its shell will become no different from its original form.
After shedding its shell, it escapes, leaving only the shell behind.
Its greatest enemy only thought that the shell was a cicada, and focused solely on targeting the shell, unaware that the real cicada had already escaped.
Fellow Daoist, you can also use this method to break free from the destiny ordained by Heavenly Dao and the Saint Hongjun."
The Golden Cicada is a race of moderate size in the present-day Primordial Wilderness, belonging to the Demon Race.
Zhen Yuanzi had naturally seen it before, which is why he gave this example.
"Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell? But Poor Daoist don't know that method either."
"To completely escape the fate ordained by Heavenly Dao and the Old Thief Hongjun, Poor Daoist must completely change my origins."
Dong Wang Gong understood Zhen Yuanzi's method of Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell like a cicada.
But such a wonderful method to deceive Heavenly Dao and the Saint is probably not even found in the Hunyuan Celestial Venerable.
Even if it were possible, it wouldn't be possible to give it to the Dong Wang Gong.
"If you trust us, we will take care of this matter."
It will absolutely allow you to safely pass through the Tribulation and escape the fate arranged by the Heavenly Dao and Saint Hongjun.
However, we cannot disclose the specific method at this moment, as the time is not yet ripe.
We can also Great Dao Vow that this matter is absolutely true.
If we deceive Fellow Dong Wang Gong on this matter, may we be struck dead by the thunder of the Great Dao Thunder, with no possibility of ever returning after our tribulations."
The method of "Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell" mentioned by Zhen Yuanzi naturally involves having the Dong Wang Gong Reincarnation through the Underworld.
In this way, one can completely break free from the destiny set by Heavenly Dao and Hongjun.
If the Earthly Dao is not suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, the Dong Wang Gong's Reincarnation can strengthen the Earthly Dao, making it a win-win situation.
However, the Earthly Dao had not yet been completed, and the matter was kept secret.
When the critical moment of the Immortal-Demon Calamity arrived, all parties focused on the Tribulation itself.
That would be the best time for the Dong Wang Gong to be Reincarnation.
Upon seeing Hong Yun Zhen Yuanzi, Fuxi Nuwa all made Great Dao Vow.
Dong Wang Gong also believed Zhen Yuanzi's explanation of the Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell method.
He originally came to ask Hong Yun Zhen Yuanzi and the others for help, and now that Zhen Yuanzi has made Great Dao Vow and given him a method, how could he not believe it?
Moreover, he himself couldn't think of any good solutions.
"In that Poor Daoist, I can now lead the Immortal Court with peace of mind."
Even if there is Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell, Poor Daoist still inflict a huge loss on the Old Thief Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao before that.
May I continue practicing this method of dismembering the Poor Daoist?
"Poor Daoist cultivation level is indeed somewhat low, which truly brings shame to my Immortal Court."
Now that he had a way out, Dong Wang Gong became even more determined to lead the Immortal Court to deliver a heavy blow to the Heavenly Court.
"You can continue to cultivate this method of severing the corpse; it will not affect your transformation after the Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell its Shell."
Perhaps the higher your cultivation level in the Corpse-Severing Technique, the greater your gains will be after Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell.
Moreover, the Immortal Court needs a true leader.
Zhen Yuanzi spoke without hesitation, since the reincarnation required the true spirit and Soul of the Dong Wang Gong's original body.
Even after reincarnation, one's Three Corpses can still be preserved.
If Three Corpses are severed, it will naturally be of great help to the reincarnation of the Dong Wang Gong.
However, after reincarnation, one must also guard against the Three Corpses, as they might be used by the Old Thief Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao.
However, they will naturally take precautions when the time comes.
"In that case, I thank you all, fellow Daoists. Poor Daoist will never refuse any request you may give me in the future."
This Poor Daoist will also fully cooperate with the actions and plans of all fellow Daoists."
Dong Wang Gong thanked Hong Yun and the others again, and then went into seclusion to try and break through to the Late Stage Quasi-Saint.
Of course, he also took that Hongmeng Purple Qi with him.
He said he would fully cooperate with Hong Yun and the others' plans and would not go back on his word.
When the Dong Wang Gong returned to his imperial palace, the quasi-saints of the Immortal Court breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that nothing had happened.
Even Lei Ze breathed a sigh of relief.
"All that fuss turned out to be a false alarm."
Not long after the Dong Wang Gong returned to his imperial palace, a powerful aura, reminiscent of a Late Stage Quasi-Saint, spread throughout Penglai Immortal Island.
