Primordial Continent, in a river near the East Sea.
Tang Xuan slowly opened his eyes after a million years of secluded cultivation.
Dao Principles surged around him, while countless runes descended. Divine light and radiant colors swirled around Tang Xuan like wisps of mist.
"Foreknowledge of the Future... success!"
A flash of brilliance crossed his eyes as Tang Xuan murmured to himself.
After spending a million years, he had finally completed his deduction of the Great Dao technique, Foreknowledge of the Future.
That was right—a Great Dao-level technique!
Tang Xuan did not know what level the mythical Thirty-Six Heavenly Dipper Techniques' Foreknowledge of the Future was, but he knew that the technique he had deduced was at the Great Dao level!
"Fortunately, over these million years, Ancestral Dragon, Yuan Feng, and Shi Qilin have continued scheming and preparing in secret, providing me with a steady stream of Wish Origin. Otherwise, deducing this technique would have been completely impossible."
Tang Xuan could not help sighing emotionally, a smile appearing on his face.
For this technique, he had burned through nearly a million strands of Wish Origin. One could imagine how terrifying it was.
"As long as my cultivation is sufficient, I can spy on the future no matter how far away it is. This includes every possibility across countless timelines and all their branches. I can even ignore any concealment or obstruction of the Heavenly Secrets. This is already nearly omniscience!"
Tang Xuan clicked his tongue in amazement.
Nearly omniscient!
Those four words alone were enough to show how exaggerated it was.
"Over these million years, my true body has been in seclusion, but my incarnations have not been idle either. I have gathered more than ten thousand rivers. All the rivers near the East Sea have already become part of my true body, and my cultivation has reached the peak of the Great Luo Realm."
"As long as I break through to the Primordial Golden Immortal Realm, I will be able to spy on most of the possibilities in the future within one Hui Yuan, let alone anything farther away!"
Tang Xuan thought to himself.
As the saying went, one Hui consisted of ten thousand eight hundred years, while one Yuan consisted of twelve Hui, amounting to one hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred years. One Hui Yuan was the product of the two, totaling approximately one billion three hundred ninety-six million eight hundred thousand years.
At least, in the Primordial World where Tang Xuan lived, that was how the units of time worked.
"The time is ripe, and everything is ready. It is time to make my move in the Dao and Demon conflict and overturn this chessboard!"
After calculating and confirming that Luohu had already taken up a hidden position, Tang Xuan's smile grew even brighter. He immediately stood up.
Not bad. As expected of the Demon Ancestor, he had thought of hiding nearby to investigate after noticing that something was wrong. Since everything was proceeding according to his plan, it was time for this game of chess to officially begin!
"Buzz!"
Tang Xuan waved his hand, and a beam of divine light sank into the void and disappeared.
Within Immortal Volcano.
Ancestral Dragon, Yuan Feng, and Shi Qilin seemed to sense something. Their bodies trembled, and they all rose abruptly.
The three exchanged glances, each able to see the joy in the others' eyes.
The River God had contacted them!
"Go to Tongtian River at once!"
Ancestral Dragon said in a deep voice.
As soon as he spoke, Ancestral Dragon transformed into a rainbow and flew away. Yuan Feng and Shi Qilin naturally did not hesitate and immediately followed.
The leaders of the Three Tribes headed for Tongtian River, where part of Tang Xuan's true body was located!
Just as the leaders of the Three Tribes left Immortal Volcano, Luohu, who had been hiding in a spatial layer outside Immortal Volcano with his eyes closed, immediately opened them.
A flash of brilliance crossed his eyes, and joy appeared on Luohu's face.
He had thought he would have to wait for quite some time. Who would have expected results so soon?
"Hehehe, there's a problem. There really is a problem."
"Ancestral Dragon, Yuan Feng, and Shi Qilin—those three old things—are actually staying together?"
"Looks like the place they are heading to is the source of these anomalies!"
"Heh, they even concealed their auras? If I weren't hiding here and watching, I might really have failed to discover your tracks."
Luohu laughed sinisterly, extremely excited. Without another word, he followed them.
Let me see what is really going on. Why did these three suddenly stop fighting? Judging from their movements, they have even formed a secret alliance. There must be something seriously wrong here!
East Sea, Tongtian River.
Ancestral Dragon, Yuan Feng, and Shi Qilin emerged from the void.
After arriving beside Tongtian River, the leaders of the Three Tribes immediately threw all the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures they had secretly collected over the past million years into the river.
Luohu, who was secretly watching from nearby, was instantly stunned. He slightly furrowed his brows, utterly baffled.
What was going on?
Why had these three sneakily come to the river and started throwing resources into it?
Did they have so much money that they did not know how to spend it?
Then he saw Tang Xuan's phantom appear above the river.
After seeing Tang Xuan address Ancestral Dragon, Yuan Feng, and Shi Qilin as "young," Luohu nearly burst out laughing.
It was not that his sense of humor was too low. It was simply too ridiculous. These three old things, who were reincarnations of Chaos Demon Gods, were being called young?
Tsk, tsk. These three old things did not even change expressions.
Oh? He was asking whether they were the ones on the left or the right? Interesting.
"Hm?"
Luohu's expression gradually became subtle.
Senior?
What was this person's background? He had actually made Ancestral Dragon, Yuan Feng, and Shi Qilin address him as Senior!?
So, the resources they had just thrown in were gifts?
He had made the leaders of the Three Tribes send gifts?
"Why can't I deduce this person's origins?"
Luohu's pupils contracted.
Tang Xuan: Want to learn about Foreknowledge of the Future?
Do not forget that this technique involved time. After obtaining this Great Dao technique, Tang Xuan no longer needed to use Wish Origin to conceal himself. Foreknowledge of the Future alone could make it impossible for others to deduce or trace him.
"It seems you have already made your decision."
After completing the formalities, Tang Xuan stood with his hands behind his back and spoke with a smile.
"Yes, Senior."
"We humbly ask Senior to enlighten us."
Ancestral Dragon respectfully bowed, then raised his head together with Yuan Feng and Shi Qilin, gazing at Tang Xuan expectantly.
They said nothing, yet their eyes said everything.
They truly wanted to improve too badly!
"If you want to counterattack, you first need to decide whom you are counterattacking. The Heavenly Dao? Hongjun? Or perhaps Luohu?"
Tang Xuan spoke leisurely.
The leaders of the Three Tribes could be set aside for now, but Luohu, who was hiding nearby, felt his eyelids twitch.
Wait, how had this involved him too?
Counterattack?
Counterattack him?
Damn it, had he become a pawn of Ancestral Dragon, Yuan Feng, and Shi Qilin?
After seeing the three exchange glances and say that they wanted to counterattack Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao, Luohu finally let out a relieved breath.
Although he did not know why he had relaxed or why he had been wary of these people, he inexplicably felt relieved.
As long as they were not dealing with him, that was fine.
"Senior, although Luohu schemed against us, when all is said and done, the true players are Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao."
"Luohu is merely a pawn of Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao."
"Therefore, we want to take revenge on Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao."
Ancestral Dragon spoke in a deep voice.
Did they want revenge against Luohu?
Of course they did.
However, Ancestral Dragon and the others still understood which matter was more important.
Luohu watched them jump around, but in reality, he was only watching. What use was there in taking revenge on Luohu alone? If Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao were not dealt with, it would still be meaningless.
"They really know that I have been scheming behind the scenes."
Luohu's pupils contracted once again, and he was furious.
What kind of nonsense was this? He was a pawn?
He was a pawn of Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao?
Bullshit!
He was the great demon god who would destroy the world. He was already preparing to destroy the world, so how could he be a pawn of Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao?
In a fit of rage, Luohu chose to remain furious—and then endured it!
He would observe the situation a little longer. He had already caught a whiff of something wrong.
"Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao?"
Tang Xuan nodded and spoke leisurely. "Since that is the case, Fellow Daoist Luohu, why don't you come out?"
As he spoke, Tang Xuan turned his gaze toward the place where Luohu was hiding.
With Luohu's cultivation, Tang Xuan truly would not have been able to discover him if he merely concealed himself. However, that did not matter. He might not have been able to discover him at the current point in time, but he had already used Foreknowledge of the Future to learn where Luohu was hiding.
