This Was His Only Chance

The Ancestral Wu looked at each other, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Is that even a question?"

Zhu Rong's loud voice was the first to ring out, retorting in a booming, gruff tone.

"Last time in Chaos, you fought those two guys, Jieyin and Zhunti, to a standstill!"

"If all six of them come at you at once, how could you possibly stand a chance!"

Gong Gong echoed in silence, his tone revealing barely suppressed worry.

"Yes, Elder Brother!"

"Six Saint, that's no joke!"

Although the other Ancestral Wu did not speak, the anxious expressions on their faces said it all.

They trust Zhou Ming, but that doesn't mean they'll be blindly devoted.

To fight six against one was, in their view, simply an impossible task.

Seeing their anxious expressions, Zhou Ming simply spoke calmly.

"Last time, I was faking it."

"What qualifications do those two Saint, Jieyin Zhunti, who Prove Dao with Merit Jieyin, have to fight me to a standstill?"

"Let alone the two of them, even if all Six Sages attacked at the same time, they would be no match for me."

"What?"

"Pretending?"

Pangu Hall, an eerie silence instantly descended.

Eleven pairs of eyes stared at them, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Elder Brother, why is this?"

Di Jiang was the first to recover from the shock.

Why are you hiding your strength?

Zhou Ming looked around at them and asked in return.

"If I reveal my true strength, would the Six Sages still dare to be my enemy?"

"If the Six Sages dare not intervene to restrain me, all thirteen of us siblings will be unharmed."

"Even if Pingxin Sister were to Reincarnation, how would Hongjun dare to set foot in the Primordial Wilderness?"

"Then, how can we trick him?"

The Ancestral Wu suddenly realized the truth.

Yes, if my Elder Brother were to act too outrageously, he could easily crush the Six Sages.

Those Six Sages aren't stupid; how could they possibly dare to come up and throw their lives away?

If the Six Sages didn't intervene, Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao dared not personally get involved.

That would completely ruin the plan.

But Zhu Jiuyin then thought of another problem.

"But Elder Brother, Jieyin and Zhunti have already witnessed your true strength."

"They are fully aware of your strength and certainly wouldn't dare to attack you again."

"If those two back down in the face of battle, the Three Pure Ones Nuwa aren't fools."

"They'll definitely notice something's wrong, and then they won't dare to make a move. What should we do then?"

"Don't worry." Zhou Ming waved his hand, looking completely in control.

"Hongjun will handle this matter."

He believed that Hongjun had plenty of ways to make the plan happen.

Make the two Heavenly Dao Saint, Jieyin and Zhunti.

"Does Hongjun... know his Elder Brother's true strength?" Di Jiang asked immediately afterward.

"He knows."

"Before the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa arrived in Chaos to watch the battle, I was completely dominating Jieyin and Zhunti."

"By then, Hongjun had roughly guessed my true strength."

Upon hearing this, the Ancestral Wu, who had just come to their senses, were confused again.

"What!"

"Since Hongjun knows your true strength, Elder Brother, he must also understand that the combined strength of the Six Sages is simply insufficient to restrain you!"

Di Jiang frowned deeply. "Then how could he possibly come to the Primordial Wilderness again?"

"Elder Brother, you've made a mistake despite your careful planning!"

"You shouldn't have revealed your true strength to Hongjun!"

Di Jiang frowned.

In his view, this was the biggest flaw in the plan.

Zhou Ming looked at them and shook his head.

"On the contrary."

"If I don't reveal my true strength to Hongjun, he really won't dare to come to the Primordial Wilderness."

Upon hearing this, the Ancestral Wu were completely dumbfounded.

What kind of talk is that?

Having revealed his strength, why did Hongjun dare to come?

If he doesn't reveal his strength, he won't dare to come?

This... this is completely illogical!

Seeing their puzzled expressions, Zhou Ming patiently explained.

"If I don't reveal my true strength, he will definitely be wary of me and unable to gauge my true abilities."

"At that time, he will see Pingxin Sister Reincarnation in Sister Houtu."

"They will immediately realize that I have seen through his plot and was fully prepared."

"In that situation, he certainly wouldn't dare to take the risk himself; he would only hide in the Depths of Chaos."

"And I revealed my true strength, which made him think I was very strong."

"He was even stronger than he expected, but at least he now has a 'clear' understanding of me."

"To ensure that the Reincarnation of Sister Houtu goes smoothly."

"He will definitely spare no expense to prepare enough means for the Six Sages to deal with me."

Even if he eventually saw that it was Pingxin Sister Reincarnation, and knew that I had seen through his conspiracy.

"But because he firmly believed that the Six Sages already possessed the power to restrain me."

"There is a very high chance that he will personally descend upon the Primordial Wilderness!"

"After all, this is his only chance."

"If we miss this opportunity, there will never be another chance for the thirteen of us to have a chance."

Pangu Hall, you could hear a pin drop.

The Ancestral Wu finally figured out the intricate schemes involved, and each of them felt a chill run down their spines.

My Elder Brother's schemes have gone this far.

"But wouldn't that put you in danger, Elder Brother?"

Di Jiang's expression became more solemn than ever before.

"Hongjun knows that you are powerful, Elder Brother. In order to keep the Six Sages from interfering with you, he must have made thorough preparations!"

"He might very well allow the Six Sages to seize this opportunity to suppress his Elder Brother!"

"Yes!" Zhu Rong exclaimed anxiously.

"This is too dangerous! Absolutely not!"

It's alright.

Zhou Ming waved his hand, a confident smile on his face.

"I was prepared for this long ago."

"I will bring the Dao Origin Divine Pearl with me then."

"Then, Hou Yi, Kuafu, and the others will be allowed to enter the world created by the Dao Origin Divine Pearl ahead of schedule."

"In this way, I can bring them out at any time to form the Twelve Divine Fiend Formation with me."

"The Father God True Body that will be summoned then will be somewhat weaker than the one that the thirteen of us created ourselves."

"But they are definitely not something that a mere six Heavenly Dao Saint can handle."

"I see!"

Di Jiang suddenly realized.

"So, Elder Brother, you had them refine our Essence Blood for this very day!"

"Elder Brother, you are indeed a man of profound wisdom!"

The other Ancestral Wu looked at Zhou Ming, their previous worries now completely transformed into deep admiration and faith.

Elder Brother, you've already placed all the chess pieces.

From the beginning until now, every step has been part of his calculations.

"At that time, you will take Xing Tian with you and form the Twelve Divine Fiend Formation together."

Zhou Ming continued to give instructions.

"Remember, do not use the twelve-person Du Tian Shen Sha Great Array. That should be our last resort."

"Don't worry, Elder Brother, we understand!"

The Ancestral Wu responded in unison, their voices filled with unprecedented enthusiasm.

"If that old Hongjun dares to come to the Primordial Wilderness, we will definitely give him a good welcome!"

Zhou Ming nodded in satisfaction.

"You should all stay in the Pangu Hall recently."

"Don't go anywhere. Focus on your cultivation and wait for Houtu to return from her travels through Primordial Wilderness Sister Houtu world."

"Yes, Elder Brother!"

The Ancestral Wu responded in unison, their voices filled with anticipation.
