System Choice Reappears

Just as Hong Yuan took that fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation, Hongjun's face suddenly changed drastically in the distance.

He could no longer sense the movement of that fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation?

At this moment, Hongjun felt like he was about to cry.

Hong Yuan had indeed come for that fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation.

If he had known this earlier, why bother with all that divination?

He might as well have just turned and left.

At least then he wouldn't have been injured.

Now look at him—he had truly lost both his wife and his soldiers.

Thinking of this, a wave of bitterness surged in Hongjun's heart.

He muttered to himself, his face full of anguish: "The Great Dao is unfair, truly unfair!"

Meanwhile, over at Hong Yuan's side.

He began to observe the Fierce Beast before him.

At this moment, even though the Fierce Beast was pinned down by Hong Yuan's aura and unable to move, the ferocity in its eyes had not diminished in the slightest—instead, it grew even stronger.

Like a beast that only knew destruction, utterly devoid of any intelligence.

The Fierce Beast continued to struggle against Hong Yuan's aura, its body brimming with fiendish energy that surged violently, as if it were a god of slaughter.

Wherever the Grievance and Fiendish Energy emitted by the Fierce Beast spread, it turned the land for countless miles around into barren desert.

From this, one could imagine just how great the harm these Fierce Beasts' Grievance and Fiendish Energy caused to the Primordial Wilderness.

But this was hardly surprising, after all, this Grievance and Fiendish Energy was formed from the fallen Chaos Demon Gods of ages past—it was only natural that it was so formidable.

Looking at this Fierce Beast, Hong Yuan thought for a moment and then increased his aura a little more.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the Fierce Beast's body was crushed by Hong Yuan's terrifying aura, blood spurting everywhere, and countless dense wounds appeared all over its form.

But even so, the beast's murderous intent did not diminish in the slightest.

This discovery made Hong Yuan lose interest.

"And here I thought my first encounter with a Fierce Beast would be one that had developed intelligence. How boring!"

With that, Hong Yuan's aura instantly crushed the Fierce Beast on the spot.

The scattered flesh and blood splattered in all directions.

Then, under Hong Yuan's observation, the beast's disintegrated flesh fell and gradually sank into the ground.

The moment the flesh sank into the earth, the desert that had been transformed by the beast's Grievance and Fiendish Energy quickly returned to normal, and the spiritual energy was even richer than before.

But watching this scene, Hong Yuan was pondering whether he should make some preparations.

After all, the Fierce Beasts caused immense damage to the Primordial Wilderness. Even though the Wilderness could recover by absorbing the flesh and blood of the slain beasts, in the end, the Wilderness didn't gain much from the exchange.

As this thought passed through Hong Yuan's mind.

The system's prompt suddenly appeared.

"Detecting that the host has made a decision. The host may choose from the following options:"

[One: "What evil beasts dare to destroy this Seat's territory? Do you know who protects the Primordial Wilderness?" Please slay the Fierce Beast Emperor Shen Ni in advance. Reward—Enhanced Version of the Twelve Capital Celestial Evil Slaying Formation]

[Two: "As the master of the Primordial Wilderness, am I to be touched by any riffraff? Just a few beasts, nothing worth mentioning. I only need to guard the Primordial Wilderness and let Luohu and the others fight it out with Shen Ni." Reward—Enhanced Version of the Grand Formation of the Stars]

[Three: "Too lazy to act. Let Yang Mei, Luohu, and the others figure it out. If they can't do it, I'll just teach them a lesson." Reward—Boundless Four Directions Divine Protection Formation]

Looking at the three options given by the system, Hong Yuan pondered how he should choose.

He knew about the Enhanced Version of the Twelve Capital Celestial Evil Slaying Formation and the Enhanced Version of the Grand Formation of the Stars.

One was the trump card of the Witch Clan during the Witch-Demon Kalpa, and the other was the trump card of the Demon Race.

One was a trump card given to the Witch Clan by Elder Brother, and the other was derived by Demon Emperor Jun from the River Diagram and Luo Book.

If he had to say which was stronger, Hong Yuan naturally felt that the Twelve Capital Celestial Evil Slaying Formation was superior.

After all, it could manifest a part of Elder Brother's true form.

But the problem was that this formation was an offensive type, and he had no use for it.

On the other hand, the Grand Formation of the Stars might be more suitable for Hong Yuan's needs.

However, Hong Yuan didn't know how much the enhanced version had been improved. If it was similar to the original, then with his current mastery of the Law of Arrays, he could achieve the same result with some time.

So, after hesitating for a moment, Hong Yuan slowly spoke and asked: "System, I know about the rewards for the first and second options. What exactly does the third option, the Boundless Four Directions Divine Protection Formation, do?"

"System?"

But no matter how Hong Yuan asked, the system remained silent.

As if it had logged off.

After a moment of hesitation, Hong Yuan made his decision: "I choose the third option."

As Hong Yuan made his choice, a surge of information directly flooded into his mind.

Looking at the information in his mind, a faint smile appeared on Hong Yuan's face.

It seemed he had chosen correctly.

After fully absorbing the memories in his mind, Hong Yuan did not rush to leave.

Instead, he stood quietly in place.

As if waiting for something.

He wanted to see how much merit killing this Fierce Beast would grant.

But after waiting for a long time, Hong Yuan sensed no reaction at all.

Not a single strand of merit fell.

"It seems the Heavenly Dao has yet to emerge, so no merit will descend," Hong Yuan mused thoughtfully.

"However, since the Fierce Beasts have already appeared, my 'big nephew' shouldn't be far off either."

The 'big nephew' Hong Yuan referred to was naturally the Heavenly Dao evolved from the myriad rules of the Primordial Wilderness.

After all, a major reason for the outbreak of the first Kalpa in the Primordial Wilderness—the Fierce Beast Kalpa—was that killing Fierce Beasts caused the Heavenly Dao to bestow merit.

According to his speculation, the manifestation of the Heavenly Dao should occur within the next one or two Kalpas.

Having thought this through, Hong Yuan directly left the place.

Deep within Mount Sumeru.

Luohu gazed at the broken fragment in his hand, which seemed to contain the Three Thousand Great Daos.

Even with Luohu's temperament, at this moment, joy was evident on his face.

After all, this was a part of a Chaos Supreme Treasure.

Even damaged, it was far superior to most Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures in the Primordial Wilderness.

This was also because the fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation in Luohu's hand was not large.

If he could find a few more pieces, its power would definitely not lose to an Innate Supreme Treasure.

In Luohu's view, this fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation was even more important than an Innate Supreme Treasure.

He hadn't expected to have such fortune.

Just by taking a stroll outside, he had found this supreme treasure.

Indeed, all things in the world have their destiny; he, Luohu, couldn't be unlucky forever.

Not to mention anything else, he had been living quite comfortably in these past one or two Kalpas.

Not only had he recruited some subordinates with decent foundations, but he was also called the number one figure of the Primordial Wilderness by some.

His reputation shook the entire Primordial Wilderness.

Although he knew it was only spread by ignorant people.

Still, it pleased him to hear it.

Just then, a hearty voice came from outside Mount Sumeru.

"Daoist Luohu, I, along with Daoist Five Elements and Daoist Qiankun, have come to keep our appointment."
