"Great Dao above, I sensed that the Three Tribes had grown too powerful. If we did not intervene, they might affect the development of the Primordial World. Let us evolve it."

"For the sake of order and all living beings in the Primordial World, our Three Tribes are willing to open another realm. The main forces of the Three Tribes will all leave the Primordial World, giving it a chance to recuperate and thrive."

"Yuanfeng, Shi Qilin, heed my command. Follow me to create heaven and earth!"

Ancestral Dragon struck with another combination punch.

As soon as his voice fell, before the Heavenly Dao could react, Ancestral Dragon, Yuanfeng, and Shi Qilin fully activated their Dao Fruits. At the same time, they shouted and attacked.

In an instant, heaven and earth in the Primordial World shook. The void tore apart, the Great Dao trembled, and Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire rapidly evolved. A new world quickly took shape. Since the leaders of the Three Tribes had long been prepared, they immediately brought out Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and sent them into the new realm to stabilize its crystal walls.

"From this day onward, our Three Tribes, who opened heaven and earth in the Primordial World, shall withdraw from the Primordial World. This realm shall be called the Chaos Realm!"

Somewhere in the unseen depths, Daoic tones seemed to echo. After Ancestral Dragon finished speaking, the Great Dao of the new realm appeared, divine characters shone, and the words "Chaos Realm" were instantly reflected into the hearts of all Primordial Era Beings.

A new realm was born above the East Sea. Its name was the Chaos Realm!

"Boom!!!"

After everything was done, Ancestral Dragon raised his head and looked toward the void. Divine light seemed to shoot from his eyes, as though piercing through the layers of space in the Primordial World and pointing straight at the Heavenly Dao.

This was the reason for creating a hegemon. Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire were the advantage, while withdrawing from the Primordial World was the threat.

They could advance to attack or retreat to defend. Now, Heavenly Dao, it was your turn to choose!

If it refused to grant them providence, then it would mean the Heavenly Dao was ignoring the rules of operation. In that case, they would simply walk away.

Without the Three Tribes suppressing Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire in the Primordial World, Heavenly Dao, you could go play in the mud. But if the Three Tribes truly withdrew from the Primordial World completely, the Primordial World would also suffer tremendous losses.

This was coercion! Coercion in the truest sense!

The Heavenly Dao... had no choice left!

Hand over the providence and help me cultivate!

Today, I, Ancestral Dragon, will attain the Dao!

"..."

The Heavenly Dao.

The Western Lands.

Luohu smiled, and his smile grew brighter and brighter.

Now that the great show on the Three Tribes' side had reached its finale, it was time for him to take the stage!

"Damn, my home was stolen."

The thought flashed through Hongjun's mind. His face turned green, and his body trembled with rage.

His home was gone!

His home was gone!

His damn home... had been stolen by the Three Tribes!

Ancestral Dragon wanted to attain the Primordial Realm?

If you attained the Dao, what would happen to me? Was I supposed to go play in the mud? Was I supposed to leave???

Wouldn't that make me a clown?

"You all deserve to die!!!"

Hongjun exploded with rage and threw his head back, letting out a long howl.

If he had not retained some of his rationality, Hongjun would almost have released the aura of the Half-step Primordial Realm.

Hongjun was furious?

Luohu appeared even angrier than Hongjun!

"What a Three Tribes! What a Three Tribes!"

"I schemed against you, yet you played the mantis stalking the cicada while the oriole lurked behind, and schemed against me instead?"

Luohu flew into a rage. With a roar, he abruptly rose to his feet.

His voice was so loud that even Hongjun's expression froze for a moment. Then he understood, and his eyes brightened.

That was right. Luohu did not know about my scheme. He would only think that the Three Tribes were trying to steal his prize.

Was I angry?

Luohu was angry too!

Sure enough, just as Hongjun was thinking this, Luohu waved his hand and directly recalled the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.

Seeing this, the minds of the Three Patriarchs nearly short-circuited. They had no idea what to do.

Or rather, they only felt that the current situation was far too bizarre, leaving them somewhat frozen.

Hongjun had said he would fight Luohu, and whoever won could attain the Dao. Then the Three Tribes had appeared and forced their way into the situation. Immediately afterward, Luohu stopped fighting.

The atmosphere had changed too quickly, with too many twists and turns. How could the Three Patriarchs not be confused?

"Hongjun, our schemes are our own business. No matter which of us wins, it should be decided by whose skills are superior. Since when can the Three Tribes fish in troubled waters and scheme against us as well?"

"Now Ancestral Dragon wants to attain the Dao. Where does that leave us?"

"Our battle is suspended for now. Let us first deal with the Three Tribes, then decide the victor between us. What do you think?"

Luohu looked at Hongjun with killing intent and anger in his eyes, his words ringing out with force.

Facing Luohu's gaze and hearing his words, Hongjun felt an intense sense of resonance. He, too, became furious.

That was right. I viewed the Primordial World as a Chess Game, and everyone was my chess piece. But now the chess pieces had rebelled against Heaven, and even tried to seize my share. Wasn't that outrageous and utterly detestable?

Losing to Luohu would be one thing. But losing to the Three Tribes?

Hongjun absolutely could not accept that!

"Let us temporarily cease hostilities and deal with the Three Tribes first. The Three Tribes must suppress Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire. They have absolutely no right to negotiate terms."

Hongjun spoke coldly.

Although he vaguely felt that something was wrong, the situation had changed too rapidly and suddenly. Hongjun had no time to calmly think it through and could only act first.

If he took the time to think, Ancestral Dragon might truly attain the Dao. Then would he go play in the mud?

"Good."

Luohu nodded slightly, his expression seeming to relax somewhat. He immediately said, "I will use the Western Lands as the formation eye and set up the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation to suppress the Three Tribes. You go stop Ancestral Dragon from attaining the Dao."

"As long as the Three Tribes' foundation is shaken, Ancestral Dragon, Yuanfeng, and Shi Qilin will no longer have the qualifications to negotiate with the Heavenly Dao!"

Hearing this, Hongjun's brows drew together slightly. The uneasy feeling in his heart grew even stronger, but he could not say exactly where the unease or wrongness came from.

After thinking it over again and again, Hongjun saw that the Heavenly Dao had begun urging him to resolve the matter quickly. He could no longer dwell on it and had no choice but to agree.

Forget it. He would cooperate with Luohu to deal with the Three Tribes first. There would be plenty of time to discuss the rest afterward.

The Three Tribes had not voluntarily taken on boundless Karmic Force. This might not be a perfect solution, but as long as the result was good, that was enough. How could everything in the world be completely perfect and fully under control?

The advantage was ours. The Great Trend was still on our side. We could win this round!

"Three fellow Daoists, the Three Tribes are ambitious wolves who seek to threaten the Heavenly Dao and bring chaos to the Primordial World. Let us capture Ancestral Dragon and the others first. What do you think?"

Hongjun looked at the Three Patriarchs and spoke solemnly.

"Good."

The three did not refuse. After all, they saw themselves as nothing more than fighters. What difference did it make whom they fought? As long as Hongjun delivered the benefits he had promised, that was enough.

"Whoosh!!!"

Once the matter was settled, Hongjun did not delay or waste time. He decisively tore open the void and rushed toward the East Sea together with the Three Patriarchs.

Watching Hongjun leave, Luohu smiled. With a wave of his hand, he reactivated the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, then sat cross-legged within it and closed his eyes.

Hongjun had left?

Then it was time for him to attain the Dao too!
