Gathering at Zixiao Palace to Devise a Strategy
Even after they stopped, Hongjun and the other two remained vigilant, cautiously watching the Shichen.
If the Shichen changes, they will be able to act immediately.
They dared not let their guard down for a moment until they had determined the true purpose of their Shichen at that exact time.
Compared to Hongjun and the other two, Shichen was much easier.
He didn't even pay much attention to the three of them, but focused more of his gaze on Cihang.
The three of them Hongjun and his companions, were indeed formidable in combat, but what they possessed was a false realm of power.
Although Shichen admired them somewhat, he never regarded them as rivals.
When it comes to true spiritual attainment, few can recall Shang Cihang.
Shichen's attitude towards Cihang was clearly more friendly than that towards Hongjun and the others.
It was only after Cihang spoke up that Shichen agreed to stop.
Although he borrowed the power of the River of Time, it wasn't impossible for him to continue fighting against Hongjun and the others.
He had no intention of destroying the Primordial World, yet the Primordial World held no weight in his heart either.
He didn't care at all whether the Primordial World existed or not.
"It's been a long time! Fellow Daoist Cihang has already attained the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal. Congratulations!"
When facing Cihang, Shichen even showed a smile.
"It is an honor for Cihang to gain the recognition of fellow Daoists."
However, Cihang has only just entered this realm; there is still a long way to go!
Shichen's attitude reassured Cihang a lot.
"Fellow Daoist is too modest. With your talent and wisdom, you have unlimited potential for the future."
If you were born in chaos, you would definitely be among the very best!
The Shichen greatly recognized Cihang's abilities.
"Thank you for your recognition, fellow Daoist."
Cihang has come to these Ruins of Gods and Demons today to fulfill the promise she made long ago.
"I wonder if you, fellow Daoist, are now willing to leave with me and return to the Chaos?"
Seeing that Shichen's attitude was good, Cihang also tentatively spoke up.
The facts are clear: even with the combined power of Hongjun and the other two, it would be difficult to truly suppress Shichen.
Shichen is the most powerful force in this Primordial World.
Sending time back to chaos is undoubtedly the best choice for the Primordial World.
Even Hongjun and the other two showed signs of anticipation.
"Thank you for remembering your promise, fellow Daoist."
But times have changed, so let's put those promises on hold!
I have no plans to leave the Primordial World anytime soon, so I won't trouble you any further, fellow Daoist!"
As soon as Shichen spoke, Hongjun and the other two felt a chill in their hearts.
Is this battle truly inevitable?
"Based on my understanding of many fellow Daoists, they should not care about the Primordial World at all, and naturally they would not want to destroy Primordial World."
With your strength, fellow Daoist, if you truly had this intention, you probably wouldn't have waited until now.
If that's the case, why do you insist on staying in the Primordial World?
Wouldn't it be better to return to chaos as soon as possible and restore our original state and strength?
Although Shichen's words resolved the Karma between them, Cihang still could not ignore the Primordial World.
"Fellow Daoist truly understands me!"
I truly don't care how it is, and I have no intention of destroying it.
I'm staying here to wait for Pangu.
As for the rest, I don't want to concern myself with it, and you don't need to worry about it!
Out of respect for Cihang, Shichen still offered an explanation.
As a top-tier Chaos Demon God, Shichen was naturally extremely arrogant.
His arrogance also made him disdainful of taking his anger out on others.
Staying in the Primordial World is not only to continue the unfinished struggle with Pangu, but also for that elusive moment of enlightenment.
If he were to return to chaos at this moment, he could indeed recover quickly, but that would be all.
Pangu was not the only one who wanted to attain the Great Dao; Shichen also had the desire to do so.
His struggle with Pangu over the Dao was also the best way to prove the Dao.
"I see. So, you didn't intervene in what Luohu and those gods and demons did this time?"
Upon hearing this, Cihang felt much more at ease.
He did not expect to be able to persuade Shichen, for Shichen's opportunity to attain enlightenment would never be changed by anyone.
This is the best possible outcome.
As for the rest, we can only wait for Pangu to solve them himself.
It all depends on who is stronger, him or the Shichen.
"Although I did not take action, I also let them do as they pleased."
The purpose, of course, was to lure Pangu to appear.
Don't even think about fixing that bottleneck crack.
Although I have no intention of destroying the Primordial World, if Pangu continues to avoid me, then don't blame me for being ruthless!
Fellow Daoist Cihang, your future is uncertain; there's no need to waste too much energy on it.
Shichen his last bit of patience ran out, he simply waved his hand and saw the guests off.
"And you guys too."
Although I have no grudge against you, if you want to cause trouble for yourselves, I Shichen always ready to oblige.
If there's nothing else, leave now. These ruins are not for your use!
Shichen glanced coldly at Hongjun and the other two, then ignored them and returned to the center of the ruins.
Only Hongjun and his two companions remained, their expressions shifting.
"This is indeed not a place to linger. Why don't you gentlemen come with me to the Zixiao Palace for a chat!"
Hongjun recovered first and extended an invitation to Cihang, Houtu, and the Houtu.
Cihang and the others gladly accepted the invitation.
Although this major battle has ended, the problem remains unresolved.
Seeing that the three agreed, Hongjun waved his hand and summoned the Jade Plate of Creation. A flash of light appeared, and the four of them instantly appeared in the Zixiao Palace.
None of the four spoke immediately, but all of them wore serious expressions.
"You, as a fellow Daoist, are fully aware of the current situation."
Although Shichen has no intention of destroying the Primordial World, it will also not allow us to repair the world barrier in the ruins.
As long as the world's protective barrier is not restored to its original state, the crisis of the Primordial World will never be resolved.
"Do you, fellow Daoist, have any solution to this problem?"
It was Hongjun, the master of the Zixiao Palace, who spoke first.
"Houtu Daoist Houtu, you are a descendant of Pangu. Do you have any way to awaken Pangu again and resolve the grudges between you and the Shichen?"
Nuwa looked at Houtu with a hint of anticipation.
In their eyes, Luohu was not a threat at all; what they truly feared was the Shichen.
Moreover, they didn't want to face the Shichen again.
Upon hearing this, Houtu could only shake her head helplessly.
She can indeed summon the Pangu True Body, and the Sanqing may be able to gather Pangu's Primordial Spirit.
However, if Pangu is unwilling, his true spirit cannot return, and he cannot be considered the true Pangu.
On the contrary, Cihang, after entering Zixiao Palace, had been probing the Pangu's True Spirit in her sea of consciousness.
Unfortunately, no matter what methods Cihang used, the Pangu's True Spirit did not respond at all, as if it did not exist.
"While the resurrection of Pangu would be the best solution, it involves too many uncertainties."
To resolve this hidden danger, we need to take action ourselves!
Hongjun shook his head and sighed.
At the same time, Hongjun also turned his gaze to Cihang.
Shichen was indifferent to life and death in the Primordial World, and neither was Pangu.
The Primordial World and all living beings were merely means for him to prove his Dao.
He would not choose to revive without absolute certainty.
They can only rely on themselves to eliminate the threat of Primordial World.
