Empress Pingxin Takes Action

But Haotian did not know.

Precisely because he had once been Dao Ancestor Hongjun's attendant, Hongjun understood him extremely well and acted in time...

Who didn't know who here?!

If this brat had a chance to attain the Primordial Origin, how could he possibly refrain from acting? Forget the merit of a single Tribulation—if that was not enough for him to attain the Dao... he would dare take the merit of another Tribulation as well.

Wealth was the greatest agitator of people's hearts.

There was also the saying that wealth could make even gods bend
