Above the East Sea.
Countless gazes converged, and under the watch of all eyes, the will of the Heavenly Dao... descended!
"Boom!!!"
The majestic might of Heaven cascaded down, as if an invisible thunderclap roared, clouds and mist churned, principles converged, and a vertical eye of Mysterious Gold materialized in the void, overlooking the Primordial World with utter indifference.
The Eye of the Heavenly Dao!
Once this Dharma Eye, bearing the will of the Heavenly Dao and representing its authority, descended, all living beings in the Primordial World instinctively gained enlightenment, and fragments of information naturally surfaced in their minds.
The war among the Three Tribes had damaged the Primordial World, generating Karmic Force. However, the Three Tribes were willing to atone by suppressing Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire, wiping their Karmic Force clean. In the future, suppressing these elements would also earn them merit.
And the overlord had already made his choice: Ancestral Dragon would be blessed with boundless fortune—this was the Heavenly Dao's reward.
Fortune?
The main issue was that the Heavenly Dao had no other option. It had to give it, or the Primordial World would fall into chaos.
Of course, if Hongjun could resolve the matter before that, it would be ideal, since Hongjun was the most suitable collaborator the Heavenly Dao had chosen.
And just at that moment, as if answering the Heavenly Dao's thoughts, Hongjun arrived with the three Patriarchs, travel-worn and hurried!
Upon their arrival, the four of them immediately released their auras, which belonged to the peak of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm.
Since schemes and tricks wouldn't work, they would settle this openly and directly.
For a moment, countless hidden observers were shocked and awed.
Aside from the leaders of the Three Tribes, there were such powerful beings in the Primordial World!?
"Ancestral Dragon, you..."
Just as Hongjun was about to speak, he sensed something and abruptly turned his head toward the Western Lands. His eyes nearly bulged out, and he almost cursed aloud.
And once again... his eyes cracked with fury.
"Luo! Hu!"
Hongjun roared inwardly, his face no longer able to maintain its calm composure, turning utterly grim.
Because... Luohu had also begun to prove the Dao!
Damn it!!!
The Three Tribes played me, and you, you bastard, played me too?
"Heavenly Dao above, now, I, Devil Ancestor Luohu, sense that the Primordial World's Heaven and Earth are flawed, and I vow to transform into the Demon Realm to guard the lands of the Primordial World."
"My Devil Race shall become Heart Demons, filling the gaps in the Primordial World's cultivation, tempering the minds of all living beings, and I vow to use the Devil Race to guard the Primordial World."
"I am the Devil Ancestor, and I shall open the Demonic Dao for the Primordial World. After one kalpa, I will preach the Dao, save all beings, and spread the methods of the Great Dao."
Like thunder and drums, the voice was deafening, vast and boundless, roaring with solemnity.
As Luohu's words fell, the Heavenly Dao responded directly, and boundless merit was born in an instant, seemingly ready to descend upon Luohu at any moment.
The Heavenly Dao was without desire or emotion; it only weighed benefits and whether something was useful for the Primordial World's development. If Hongjun couldn't do it, it wouldn't hesitate... to change candidates!
The Dao Ancestor could be replaced; the Devil Ancestor could take his place.
"???"
Hongjun felt as if struck by lightning, dizzy and dazed, with only one thought left in his mind...
Everything Luohu said was his script, his lines!!!
He had planned to preach the Dao after proving it, spreading the Immortal Dao to educate the Primordial World.
But before he could say it, Luohu had spoken first?
And he was going to spread the Demonic Dao?
Fine, fine, so this is how you play it, huh? This is how you all play it?
Damn it, Ancestral Dragon wants to prove the Dao, and you, Luohu, have to join in too?
Then who should he stop? Who should he block???
Hongjun was numb, his body stiff, his face dazed. For a moment, he didn't even know who he should stop.
Stop Ancestral Dragon? Luohu was proving the Dao.
Stop Luohu? Ancestral Dragon was proving the Dao.
How could he stop them?
How could he stop them with his head?
"There's... something wrong here!"
Hongjun suddenly became alert, his sharp mind regaining the upper hand as he fully realized the situation.
He had been watching Luohu and the Three Tribes' movements closely. Everything had been fine before—how could Luohu suddenly cooperate with the Three Tribes and scheme against him?
There was something wrong, something seriously wrong!
The Three Tribes and Luohu were merely the surface; behind them, a Mastermind existed!
Who! Who is it!
Who exactly... is scheming against him!...
At the East Sea shore.
While the various factions were locked in confrontation and the many great powers of the Primordial World were watching in exhilaration, Tang Xuan had silently arrived at the coast of the East Sea.
Gazing at the boundless, endless East Sea, a faint smile appeared on Tang Xuan's face.
The Three Tribes and Luohu had fallen into the trap, allowing him to win twice.
And now, it was time for him to win... this third time!
Winning once was not enough! No, if you win, you win to the extreme, until you're sick of winning!
"All the river tributaries near the East Sea have already transformed into my main body, under my control. Now, only the East Sea remains!"
"Ancestral Dragon is seeking the Dao, Luohu is seeking the Dao, Hongjun is caught in the middle, and all the strong beings of the Primordial World are focused on the Dragon-Han Finale. Even the attention of the Heavenly Dao is fixed on the Three Tribes, Luohu, and Hongjun."
"Now, this is the perfect time for me to act!"
A sharp glint flashed in Tang Xuan's eyes.
You fight your battles; I'll quietly expand my main body's reach across the entire East Sea. That's perfectly reasonable, isn't it?
Once he controlled the East Sea, Tang Xuan's wings would be fully grown, his foundation completely laid!
"It's almost time for me to take the stage..."
Tang Xuan murmured to himself, sensing the Wish Origin growing wildly. Instantly, the smile on his face grew richer and brighter.
It was not in vain that he had schemed and planned for so long.
Wish Origin—over five million strands!
And it was still growing frantically, already close to ten million strands!
Enough?
Enough!
Enough to plan the next moves!
"Time to hurry."
Tang Xuan chuckled softly, transforming into a beam of light that plunged into the East Sea.
Soon, soon, the main event was about to begin! He had to refine the East Sea as quickly as possible!
"What a Luohu, what a Three Tribes."
"Truly... remarkable!"
"Do you really think you've already won?"
After all, this was Hongjun. Though he was furious to the extreme and desperately wanted to know who was scheming against him, he quickly calmed down. His gaze swept over Ancestral Dragon and Luohu, and Hongjun laughed in anger.
Who was scheming against him didn't matter. What mattered was solving the immediate problem. As for the rest, it wouldn't be too late to investigate after everything was settled.
"Even if I can no longer first attain Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal and then seize the authority of a Heavenly Dao Sage, perfectly transforming both and reaching the heavens in one step, it's still not difficult to attain the Dao simultaneously!"
Hongjun's gaze turned sharp.
You have trump cards, and This Daoist... could it be that I have none?
Do you truly believe that This Daoist spent millions of years debating the Dao with the Five Elements, Yin-Yang, and Heaven and Earth just for the sake of debate?
