Hongjun Was the Heavenly Dao, but the Heavenly Dao Was Not Hongjun

After thanking their teacher, the four Sage sat down obediently on the prayer mats.

Only the last two prayer cushions remained, and there was no one on them.

It is obvious that Laozi and Yuanshi have only just passed away and will not recover so quickly.

Or perhaps, neither of them was willing to pay a high price to be resurrected so quickly.

As long as the Heavenly Dao endures, Sage will never die.

Even if Sage were to be resurrected, it wouldn't be so easy.

Each time Sage is resurrected, it requires a huge loss of the Heavenly Dao Origin.

This is not coming from me.

Sage needs to incur debt.

The closer the resurrection time is, the more Heavenly Dao Origin will be consumed.

In order to reduce the debts they carried, Laozi and Yuanshi Dang Lu chose to postpone their resurrection for a while.

The consequences of Heavenly Dao are not so easy to repay.

At this moment, the Four Saints were seated. Upon seeing this, Daoist Hongjun spoke up, "Now that the Tribulation Qi between heaven and earth has dissipated and the calamity has been destroyed, you four are Heavenly Dao Sage. You should know that the Heavenly Mandate cannot be defied."

"What's past is past. As for what's going to happen, let's wait until the next great kalpa to talk about it."

"I have summoned you here today for another matter."

Upon hearing what Hongjun said, Zhunti immediately became anxious.

Now that our disciple has died and is listed on the list, the Western Sect has been destroyed, and the Spirit Mountain Dojo has been ruined, how can we let this go so easily?

"Teacher, when the Three Sects signed the Investiture of the Gods, the names of my Western Sect disciples were not included!"

"But now, all my disciples have been killed by Tongtian."

"How can this matter be left unresolved?"

"Please, teacher, uphold justice and do justice for the West!"

For a moment, both Zhunti and Jieyin prostrated themselves on the prayer mats, weeping and pleading with Hongjun on the high seat.

Tongtian glanced at the shameless Western duo, said nothing, and simply closed his eyes to rest.

He believed the teacher would take matters into consideration.

Otherwise, at worst, we can suffer a loss here and get our revenge from the Western Two Sages later.

Strength is the only thing that matters.

The teacher can help them once, but can't help them forever, right?

The Tongtian Jiaozhu had already prepared for the worst.

On the high platform, Daoist Hongjun's face was as calm as water. Upon hearing this, he simply said, "The Western Sect is indeed not included in this Investiture of the Gods Calamity, and the disciples of the Western Sect are not required to be on the list."

"But all of this is predicated on the fact that you in the West did not get involved in this Investiture of the Gods Calamity."

"Whether or not you Westerners have gotten involved is something you two know better than anyone else."

"Do I really need to expose them one by one?"

Daoist Hongjun's gaze swept downwards.

Both Zhunti Jieyin speechless.

He was speechless with frustration.

This time, they were indeed at a loss for words.

But how could the two of them be willing to accept this?

The Sage Jieyin stood up and bowed to the Daoist Hongjun.

He then said, "Teacher, you are wise. Senior Brother Tongtian has disregarded the bonds between fellow disciples and has been Slaughter my Western Sect disciples."

"We beg Master to ask Tongtian to give us an explanation."

"We Western Sect can't just suffer our grievances alone, can we?"

Daoist Hongjun immediately focused his gaze. "Jieyin, are you questioning your master?"

"Thump!"

The Sage Jieyin was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground and said he dared not.

"Since you Western Two Sages insist on asking the truth..."

"Very well, then I will explain this to you."

"You two were blinded by lust. For the promise made by Yuanshi, you entered the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation and opposed Tongtian, thus reaping a terrible consequence."

"Before this, he plotted against King Di Xin and offended Nüwa."

"After the destruction of the Three Sects, you two brothers were still unwilling to accept it, so you went to find trouble with Tongtian."

"Look at yourselves honestly, in each and every one of these incidents, who is right and who is wrong?"

"Does this truly mean I must use the Heavenly Dao Merit Scale to weigh Good and Evil, right and wrong?"

As Daoist Hongjun finished speaking, his tone turned cold.

The two Jieyin and Zhunti, Jieyin and Zhunti, were immediately speechless and could not utter a word.

Nüwa and Tongtian exchanged a glance, both filled with astonishment.

When did Daoist Hongjun become so selfless?

Suddenly, Tongtian and Nüwa had a thought and began to ponder something.

Since Daoist Hongjun merged with the Heavenly Dao, he has not made a formal appearance for a long time.

During the previous Witch and Demon War King and the Demon King, when the Gong Gong angrily struck Buzhou Mountain, the Heavenly Dao Hongjun only appeared for a fleeting moment.

Moreover, he merely left behind a Heaven Refining Furnace, issued a decree, and returned to the Heavenly Dao.

At that time, Daoist Hongjun already seemed very suspicious.

Then came a series of subsequent actions, including the release of the Investiture of the Gods and the current situation.

They are all very strange.

This made Tongtian and Nüwa feel as if they were no longer facing their former teacher, Hongjun.

Instead, it was a different person.

His temperament changed drastically.

"Could it be that the teacher sitting in the seat now is no longer Daoist Hongjun, but simply the Heavenly Dao Hongjun?"

A bold guess emerged in Tongtian's mind.

He exchanged another glance with his Junior Sister Nuwa.

"Hongjun became a part of the Heavenly Dao, but the Heavenly Dao is not Hongjun!"

The Goddess Nüwa Nuwa had also considered this point, and was startled.

He gave Tianyi barely perceptible nod.

If things are hopeless, even if it is extremely rebellious, they can only fight their way back to the Primordial Wilderness.

However, neither of them dared to express any opinion at this moment.

Let's see how Daoist Hongjun handles this.

After reprimanding the Western Two Sages, Heavenly Dao Hongjun finally turned his gaze to Tongtian.

"This time, during the Investiture of the Gods, you saints fought amongst yourselves, causing changes in the heavenly secrets and drastically altering the course of your destinies."

"However, none of that matters. What matters is that the Investiture of the Gods Calamity has passed."

"However, we still need to clean up the mess properly to prevent further disputes and the return of the Great Calamity."

"At that time, even if you are Sage, you will be stripped of your Sage Seat and cast into an abyss of eternal damnation!"

Heavenly Dao Hongjun warned sternly.

All Four Saints said they dared not.

They were respectful and obedient to the Four Saints.

Heavenly Dao Hongjun nodded in satisfaction.

He continued, "Tongtian, after you return to the capital, let Shen Gongbao continue to preside over the Investiture of the Gods gods, enfeoff the gods, establish Heavenly Edict rules and regulations, restore the powers of heaven and earth to their proper places, and regulate the Primordial Wilderness."

"As for the changes in the Primordial Wilderness Human Race, there is no need to concern ourselves with them."

"Whether it prospers or perishes, what does it matter to the Primordial World?"

"As long as Human Race exists and its foundation remains, that is where humanity lies."

"Tongtian, after you return to the world, Human Race emperor manage things well, resolve grievances, and rebuild the Qiankun. Only in this way can the growth of humanity continue."

Tongtian quickly got up and agreed.

But I couldn't help feeling joy inside.

Now, I feel that Heavenly Dao Hongjun is a true teacher.

For the sake of the Primordial Wilderness, be selfless, impartial, and just.

Zhunti, Jieyin from the side, couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness in their hearts.

What's this?

Tongtian killed their disciples, destroyed their lineage, annihilated their Spirit Mountain, and killed their two elder brothers, yet he is blameless and meritorious.

What became of those Western Two Sages?

A mere extra?!

The faces of the Western Two Sages immediately darkened.
