The Heavenly Dao is the will of a world. Generally, the Heavenly Dao has no body, no mouth, no bloodline, not even consciousness!
However, the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World has self-awareness!
But now… the Heavenly Dao is like a small golden ball???
The next moment, some thoughts appeared in Chen Tian's mind!
It was the Heavenly Dao expressing itself!
But then again, the Heavenly Dao has no body and cannot speak, so it can only express its thoughts, which is like divine sense.
"Heavenly Dao, in the future, I will unify with you, but it will cause the Primordial World to become a small world where Immortals and Gods do not exist… do you know what's going on?" Hongjun asked.
The Heavenly Dao hummed, and then Chen Tian understood. It didn't know either. It only knew that it was incomplete and needed to unify with the Dao to become complete, thus stabilizing the Primordial World and allowing it to develop continuously. If it didn't unify with the Dao quickly, the Innate Spiritual Qi would dissipate and become Postnatal Spiritual Qi.
That would cause the world level to drop, the Heavenly Dao would weaken, and its consciousness would also weaken, eventually dissipating.
"That's impossible. Tian Chen is the Son of the Great Dao. After the Great Dao deduced, it transformed into memory and entered Tian Chen's mind. This matter cannot possibly not happen." Hongjun frowned. According to reason, the Great Dao's deduction should not be wrong, just like a Saint deducing the life of a mortal.
"Uh… Dao Ancestor, I have a question," Chen Tian interjected.
"Speak quickly," Hongjun nodded. After all, he was the Son of the Great Dao, and perhaps he knew some secrets.
"May I ask, Dao Ancestor, can the three corpses be unified?" Chen Tian asked doubtfully.
"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Hongjun's heart suddenly tightened. The three corpses!! That's right!! The three corpses!!
"My three corpses have never been unified," Hongjun shook his head, his answer already in his heart.
The Heavenly Dao also knew, and Chen Tian also understood what was going on!
"Then will unifying with the Heavenly Dao cause you to fall into some kind of unknown external state, Dao Ancestor?" Chen Tian asked, wanting to confirm again.
Hongjun nodded.
"No wonder… no wonder your temperament changed drastically after unifying with the Heavenly Dao, and you even pushed and promoted several Calamities, causing the Primordial World to become a world where Immortals and Gods do not exist," Chen Tian nodded, frowning.
Chen Tian remembered what he had read on Earth before. Calamities were inevitable! Without Calamities, how could there be a grand era in the Primordial World? And every five Yuanhui is a Calamity. Pangu's opening of the heavens and the destruction of the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons was the first Calamity. After the opening of the heavens, the struggle between the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin was considered the second Calamity, the third was the Witch-Demon Tribulation, followed by the Investiture of the Gods Calamity, and the Journey to the West Tribulation (also known as the conflict between Buddhism and Dao).
And what is a Calamity? It is to reduce the malevolent energy between heaven and earth! To prevent the malevolent energy from impacting the Heavenly Dao space and causing the world to become unstable! This is also a method of self-preservation for the Heavenly Dao!
However, the arrival of a Calamity does not mean that the world will decline! Calamities are a method for the Heavenly Dao to stabilize the world and also a method of self-preservation. It is impossible for the world to decline!
Therefore, according to the original state, after the Calamity was carried out, the races involved in the Calamity would leave something behind. For example, in the struggle between the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin, although the three clans retreated to the Primordial World, they still existed, but they were punished by the Heavenly Dao with karma.
But the Primordial World did not decline after the struggle between the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin. Why would it decline later? Even if there were Saints later, would Hongjun, as the agent of the Heavenly Dao, ignore it? Impossible! Therefore, everything that happened was related to Hongjun!
"Yes… this is an unsolvable problem," Hongjun also sighed and said.
Hongjun became a Saint through the three corpses, but he also became a Saint through Merit!
The true path of the three corpses is to sever the good corpse, the evil corpse, and the self corpse, and finally unify the three corpses. It does not require Merit at all, not even Primordial Violet Qi to become a Saint!
But Hongjun never unified his three corpses! And now Hongjun has long wanted to be a salted fish, unlike in the original plot. Therefore, the problem truly lies with the three corpses!
"Dao Ancestor, it's highly likely that when you unified with the Heavenly Dao, your three corpses emerged to kill each other, and eventually the evil corpse took over, erasing your consciousness, and then erasing the Heavenly Dao's consciousness. This way, you would completely control the Primordial World and the Heavenly Dao space! But at the same time, the Heavenly Dao space, out of self-preservation, sealed the entire Heavenly Dao space. This way, if you want to become stronger, you have to leave the Heavenly Dao space! You can only use great effort to split off a wisp of divine sense."
Chen Tian paused and continued, "And during the Investiture of the Gods battle, the Third Master broke the Primordial World, causing the world level to drop, and he also escaped from the Heavenly Dao space. This led to what happened later…"
You must know that after Hongjun unified with the Dao, he never appeared again, except for appearing once during the Witch-Demon Tribulation, and then letting the Saints go to Zixiao Palace to discuss the Investiture of the Gods. These were all likely divine senses! It was only after Tongtian broke the Primordial World that Hongjun truly appeared!
During the Journey to the West Calamity, Hongjun never appeared, not even the Saints. So at that time, either Hongjun had already left, or Hongjun had devoured the Six Saints!
Therefore, all of this was caused by Hongjun's failure to unify his three corpses!
Only after the three corpses are unified is the true Hongjun. If the three corpses are not unified, then as time passes, the three corpses will develop self-awareness!
It has been several Yuanhui since Hongjun severed his three corpses. One Yuanhui is 129,600 years. Several Yuanhui amount to millions of years. Hongjun's three corpses have likely developed self-awareness!
"Then what should we do now? If we don't unify, the Heavenly Dao will be unstable, and the Primordial World will decline. If we unify, the Primordial World will be shattered…" Hongjun's scalp tingled. Damn it! So it was me who caused all this trouble?? Why is it so hard for me to be a salted fish??
Heaven knows how long I've waited. Damn it, I finally achieved immortality and undeath. What's wrong with me resting for a while? And I still have to cause trouble… Damn it!!!
The Heavenly Dao also didn't know what to do. It expressed that it was still a child and didn't want to die yet!
But then again, how long has it been since Pangu created the Primordial World? Tens of thousands, or even millions of Yuanhui. After so long, the Heavenly Dao has only developed a little consciousness. Is it that useless??
"Uh… the Heavenly Dao is incomplete, and what escaped was not the Primordial Violet Qi, right? Don't you have seven strands of Primordial Violet Qi on you, Dao Ancestor?" Chen Tian asked doubtfully.
"Tian Chen, you don't know, but after the Primordial Chaos shattered, most of the Primordial Violet Qi transformed into the Great Dao. Fifty strands of Primordial Violet Qi transformed into the Heavenly Dao. And the one that escaped is not these ordinary Primordial Violet Qi, but Primordial Violet Qi from the Primordial Chaos era!"
Hongjun paused and said, "The Primordial Violet Qi from that era could even create a supreme Great Dao-level divine weapon. The Primordial Violet Qi in my hand can only be used as a foundation for becoming a Saint."
To put it bluntly, the Primordial Violet Qi from the Primordial Chaos era is the ancestor, while the Primordial Violet Qi in Hongjun's possession is at most a grandson. How can they be compared?
"Ah? Then my Primordial Violet Qi isn't good enough either?" Chen Tian said as he took out the Primordial Pearl, looking speechless.
The next moment, the Heavenly Dao trembled all over, and Hongjun's eyes widened in shock, as if his eyeballs were about to fall out!!
