All Beneath Saints Are Ants? Wu: Even Saints Cannot Act Freely!

"What you two fellow Daoists say is correct."

"This Tribulation is none of our concern unless we actively participate in it."

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun exchanged a glance and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fellow Daoist Zhou Ming has said so, then there must be no problem.

But before they could fully relax, Zhou Ming said his next sentence.

But this froze both of them in place.

"However... the Human Clan outside the Huoyun Cave will be drawn into this Tribulation."

"What?"

"Red" was almost an unconscious remark.

"Will the Human Clan be dragged into this?"

"How is this possible! Fellow Daoist Zhou Ming, are you mistaken?"

"Isn't this an internal Killing Tribulation within their Mystic Gate?"

"How could the Mystic Gate's Killing Tribulation involve the Human Clan?"

Although he was not of the Human Clan origin, he was worshipped by the Human Clan and his Fortune was already closely intertwined with that of the Human Clan.

If Human Clan suffers a calamity, he will inevitably be affected as well.

Moreover, he had spent countless Eon with the Three Sovereigns of the Human Clan and other Forefathers such as the Martial Ancestor.

They shared a deep bond and had long considered themselves part of the Human Clan.

Now that he heard that Human Clan was about to be drawn into this terrifying Great Calamity, how could he not be anxious?

Although Zhen Yuanzi did not lose his composure like Hong Yun, his face was also filled with solemnity and confusion.

They knew better than anyone the terror of Tribulation.

Although Human Clan is currently the dominant force in the world, its foundation is still shallow. How can it withstand such a struggle between the Human Sect?

I'm afraid we'll be beaten to a pulp, Fortune decline!

Seeing the anxious Hong Yun, Zhou Ming raised his hand and gestured for him to calm down.

Fellow Daoist, there's no need to panic.

"This matter is not something that cannot be resolved."

"Fellow Daoist, you will understand once you return to Huoyun Cave."

You'll understand once you return to the Huoyun Cave?

This means that Huoyun Cave already knows about this matter and may even have a countermeasure in mind!

"Good!"

Hong Yun made a decision without the slightest hesitation.

"I'm going back right now!"

He quickly bowed to Zhou Ming and Houtu.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou Ming, Fellow Daoist Houtu, this matter is of great importance, I must take my leave now!"

Having said that, Hong Yun's figure transformed into a streak of red light and vanished from the Pangu Hall in an instant, without the slightest hesitation.

Watching Hong Yun's hurried departure, Zhen Yuanzi shook his head with a wry smile.

This old friend of mine is still as impatient as ever.

However, he could understand.

If it were his own Five Village Temple on Mount Longevity that were caught up in the Tribulation, he would probably be even more anxious than Hong Yun.

After Hong Yun left, Zhen Yuanzi also bowed to Zhou Ming and Houtu.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou Ming, Fellow Daoist Houtu."

"There are still many things to take care of in the Underworld."

Now that we've emerged from seclusion, it's time to head back.

Zhou Ming nodded.

"Alright, fellow Daoist, take care."

Zhen Yuanzi bowed again, then turned and left the Pangu Hall.

Huoyun Cave.

Just as Hong Yun's figure appeared at the cave entrance, several auras surged within the cave.

Led by Wu, Fuxi, Shennong, Suiren, and a Forefathers of the Human Clan seemed to have sensed something and were already waiting here.

"Congratulations on emerging from seclusion today, fellow Daoist! Your cultivation has greatly improved, and you are one step closer to the Hunyuan Realm!"

Looking at the Hong Yun aura was perfectly harmonious and in sync with heaven and earth, Wu smiled and was the first to offer his congratulations.

Suiren, Fuxi, Shennong, and others also stepped forward to congratulate Hong Yun.

Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Hongyun!

"Fellow Daoist, you have gained a great deal from this seclusion!"

Normally, Hong Yun would have had a long chat with everyone, sharing her joy at her breakthrough.

But at this moment, he had no such thoughts at all.

He simply returned the greeting to everyone and then eagerly asked the question.

"Fellow Daoists, I am in the Pangu Hall, listening to Sage Zhou Ming to say."

"How exactly will this Tribulation involve our Human Clan?"

Seeing Hong Yun's anxious appearance, the group exchanged glances, understanding each other's thoughts.

Wu raised his hand, signaling him to calm down.

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need to worry. Please sit down and let's talk."

Wu looked at Hong Yun and did not hide anything, explaining that the Saint used the Human Clan as a chessboard and used the change of dynasties to complete the Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods Killing Tribulation.

He then recounted his own coping strategies in detail.

Only after the general had finished speaking did Hong Yun finally let out a long sigh of Turbid Qi.

"I see..."

"With this solution in place, I am relieved."

Hong Yun breathed a sigh of relief, but then looked at Wu with a face full of worry.

"However, fellow Daoist, your Reincarnation and personal entry into this tribulation is far too dangerous."

"The Saint's Scheme are unfathomable."

"You entered this game as the Human Emperor, and although you are protected by the Fortune of the Human Clan, you are ultimately still part of the game."

"If we're not careful, they could easily outmaneuver us."

"We must still be extremely careful, lest we fall into the Saint's Scheme!"

He looked at Wu, his expression becoming extremely solemn.

He knew all too well the terror of Saint; such beings existed on another level, whose words became law, and whose thoughts could stir up boundless storms.

Martial arts require one to personally engage in the game, and the dangers involved are simply unimaginable.

Wu nodded calmly, indicating that he could rest assured.

"Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I have my own plans."

Only after receiving Wu's affirmative reply did Hong Yun's worries lessen slightly.

He recalled the root of all this and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Well..."

"Below the Saint, all are but ants."

Even if we cultivate to the level of Primordial Origin Golden Immortal, we are still powerless in the face of such a cataclysmic Great Calamity!

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere inside the Cave Abode instantly became somewhat heavy.

Shennong Shi, Suiren, and others all felt the same way and echoed his sentiments.

"Yes, a single thought of Saint can unleash countless Tribulation, and we are all caught in those eons, unable to escape."

"Without achieving sainthood, there is always the danger of collapse."

A sense of helplessness and melancholy lingered on everyone's faces.

They have already stood at the pinnacle of the Primordial Wilderness, beings that countless creatures must look up to.

But before that omnipotent Saint, they were still like chess pieces, their Fate not truly in their own hands.

This feeling of powerlessness is incredibly oppressive.

However, in the midst of this silence, Wu slowly shook his head.

His calm gaze swept over the crowd, and he uttered a sentence that stunned everyone.

"Below the level of Saint, all are but ants; this is no exaggeration."

"But even Saint are not free to act as they please."

One sentence instantly silenced the Cave Abode.

Everyone was stunned, their faces filled with confusion and astonishment.

Saint, who overlook the ages and hold sway over the Law of heaven and earth, whose words become law and are indestructible through countless eons, how could they be powerless to act on their own?

Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, Wu calmly explained.

"They too will be schemed against by beings of the same realm, and will be involuntarily drawn into conflict for the sake of their respective Dao Lineage and Fortune."

"Isn't this Investiture of the Gods Tribulation the best example?"

"Would Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Sect Master be willing to let their disciples and followers be listed on the Investiture of the Gods the Gods, die and disappear, and be subject to the control of the Heavenly Court from then on?"

"They don't want to."

But they had no choice but to do it.

"Because of the Imperial Edict of the Dao Ancestor, the impetus of the Heavenly Dao Trend, and the watchful eyes of other Saint."

"They may appear to be the players, but aren't they also pieces on a larger chessboard?"

Wu's words were like hammer blows, each one piercing the heart.

Everyone fell silent instantly.

yes...

Saint, seemingly enjoying boundless glory and controlling the Fate of all living beings.

Yet, their relationship was also rife with scheming and conflict.

In this Tribulation, weren't the Chan and Jie Sects forced into the game?

They weren't truly doing whatever they wanted.

Seeing the group lost in thought, Wu's voice rang out again.

"In this Primordial Wilderness, there has never been true freedom to do as one pleases or to control everything."

"Unless... your strength is so great that you can disregard all conspiracies and schemes, and fear no calculations or rules."

"Only then will you truly be in control of your own Fate."

"Otherwise, whether mortal, immortal, or Saint."

"They are all just pitiful people struggling to cross the River of Time."

"They were all powerless to control their own lives."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Huoyun Cave became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Hong Yun, Fuxi, Shennong... all the Forefathers the Human Clan stared blankly at Wu.

Yes!

Even Saint can be schemed against?

Were they also caught in a situation beyond their control?

They also face threats and schemes from the same level, and they also have to compete within the rules.

Once they understood this, the sense of powerlessness in everyone's hearts quietly dissipated.

Even Saint cannot do whatever they want, so what right do these non-saints have to complain and blame others?

Instead of wallowing in self-pity, give it your all!
