Rewards in Hand, Heavenly Dao Authority, Hongjun Comes Clean
"Thump!"
Amidst the still-raging chaotic storm, a giant hand formed of magical power fell down.
In the blink of an eye, it was completely swallowed up by the chaos and nothingness.
Under the Godslaying Spear, no matter if you are Heavenly Dao or an Immortal Dao Ancestor, if you dare to reach out, you will surely be slain.
The Three Pure Ones Nüwa were all stunned when they saw this scene, and then their eyes twitched violently.
To sever one of Hongjun's hands—tsk tsk, this is truly the first time in history.
Will the two of them start fighting again?
The Sages' minds wandered for a while.
"Ding dong! Congratulations, host, you have successfully completed the hidden story mission and have received the following rewards: Innate Law of Life Source and Innate Law of Artifact Crafting Source."
"Ding-dong~ Congratulations, host! You have successfully signed up at the Epoch Stone Bridge and received the following rewards: 3 million Great Dao Merit and 1 Innate Law of Death Source!"
After Taiyi annihilated the two Outer Realm Visitors, he stood atop the Epoch Stone Bridge, suppressing everything with the Chaos Clock, and quickly completed the newly generated system task.
At this moment, Taiyi calmly looked at Hongjun of the Heavenly Dao, whose expression was unpredictable, and chuckled coldly.
He said to Yu, "Dao Ancestor, this is not virtuous of you!"
"This Epoch Stone Bridge was agreed upon beforehand; it's my spoils. You're already trying to take the credit for it? That's really not fair of you, is it?"
"What, does Dao Ancestor still want to fight me before we settle things?"
Hongjun of the Heavenly Dao's lips twitched.
I couldn't help but say, "Tian Heavenly Dao keeps his word."
"The rewards and permissions from the Heavenly Dao I promised you before will be distributed to you according to your merits."
"But Taiyi, this Epoch Stone Bridge is of great importance and cannot be damaged. I think it would be best if I were to take care of Heavenly Dao."
"After all, just in case, there's no guarantee that the survivors of the chaotic era might use the coordinates left behind by the Epoch Stone Bridge to find the Primordial World."
"As Primordial Heavenly Dao, it is my duty to handle this matter."
As he spoke, Hongjun of the Heavenly Dao wore a righteous and awe-inspiring expression, as if he had an inescapable responsibility for this matter.
"There's no need for you to trouble Dao Ancestor!"
"As the Heavenly Court Sovereign, I believe I still possess this much ability!"
"Protecting the peace and development of the Primordial World is our bounden duty!"
Taiyi countered Hongjun of the Heavenly Dao's accusation with a righteous and indignant tone.
Hongjun of the Heavenly Dao was at a loss.
He glanced at the Epoch Stone Bridge, which was still trembling and resisting under Taiyi's feet, then at the Godslaying Spear in Taiyi's hand and the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Divine Tower, and his eyes showed a look of fear.
"Very well, since Taiyi so generous and enthusiastic, I cannot spoil Heavenly Dao 'Taiyi good intentions."
"This is your reward, one of the millions of Heavenly Dao Merits and one of the ten thousand Heavenly Dao Permissions."
After withdrawing his gaze, Hongjun of the Heavenly Dao resumed his cold and ruthless demeanor, speaking indifferently.
Looking at the small ball of light in front of him, which represented the permission to possess one of the myriad things Heavenly Dao the Primordial World, Taiyi chuckled and unceremoniously pocketed it.
As for the million merits of the Heavenly Dao, that's just an extra bonus, a drop in the ocean.
Laozi, along with Yuanshi, Tongtian, Jieyin, and even Houtu Nüwa, all looked at the small ball of Heavenly Dao power in Taiyi's hand with great envy and longing.
To understand this, having the permission of the Heavenly Dao, whether it's one in ten thousand or one in ten million, represents a reversal of roles between host and guest.
From then on, he was no longer a controlled guest under Heavenly Dao, but instead became the master, one of the rulers of the Primordial World who was on par with Heavenly Dao.
Previously, only Hongjun Daozu had enjoyed this honor.
Now, however, we must put another Taiyi on top of it.
It would be impossible for the newly enlightened saints, such as the Three Pure Ones Jieyin and Jieyin, not to be envious.
After achieving sainthood, they also aspired to become the rulers of the Heavenly Dao.
All I can say is that desires are endless.
The Great Path is also endless.
"Since that's the case, this matter is settled. Dao Ancestor, we'll meet again someday."
"Sister Nuwa, Sister Houtu, let's go!"
Taiyi laughed heartily, bowed slightly to Hongjun of the Heavenly Dao, and then turned and fled.
As for the Three Pure Ones' Jieyin?
We're no longer in a position to make him take the initiative to greet us.
Laozi Yuanshi, Tongtian, and the Jieyin three, seeing Taiyi return with a bountiful harvest, could not help but feel envious.
You should know that both the Heavenly Dao Authority and the Epoch Stone Bridge, Chaos Supreme Treasure, are supreme treasures.
It's no exaggeration to say that it could make them beat their pig brains into dog brains.
Let alone a Chaos Supreme Treasure, even an Innate Supreme Treasure would be enough to make them break off all pretense of civility.
The ship of friendship can capsize at any moment.
Seeing Taiyi leave, Heavenly Dao also withdrew from Hongjun's body.
Hongjun shuddered and instantly returned to his body.
It seems that the Four Saints, including the one who was in charge of the elixir, all rushed over to pay their respects.
"Greetings, Master."
"Get up, everyone."
"It seems this battle is over?"
Hongjun asked Yu with a blank expression.
"Yes."
Although Master Hongjun was certainly well aware of the matter, the Four Saints still responded in unison to show their respect.
"Do you have any questions?"
After glancing at the Four Saints who seemed hesitant to speak, Hongjun finally spoke.
He is not a lone wolf; he needs these Heavenly Dao Sages to support him.
Otherwise, if he fights alone, he might just get casually tossed aside by that guy Taiyi day.
"Teacher, I have a question."
Tongtian, being the most forthright, couldn't wait to step forward and press for answers.
"Tongtian, what questions do you have?"
Hongjun looked at his most satisfied disciple and said gently.
"Master Yu, do you know where those Outer Realm Visitors suddenly attacked us just now came from?"
"Isn't it said that the Primordial World can only support nine Sages?"
"But those three were clearly also at the Chaos level."
Tianyi.
Laozi and Yuanshi also stared intently at Hongjun, clearly wanting an explanation.
Jieyin, on the other hand, was like a nobody, remaining silent.
Because he knew that in this situation, he had no right to ask questions.
Asking is pointless.
Instead, they brought shame upon themselves.
Hongjun pondered for a moment, then gazed into the distance beyond the chaos.
There, too, lies the world he yearns for.
Transcend chaos! Reach the other shore! Prove immortality!
Next, Hongjun revealed the secrets of the Chaos Epoch's return to oneness to the Four Saints without any concealment.
They have all become saints, and sooner or later, they will all know some secrets about the Ring-Shaped Universe.
It may have been found in the ruins of the Chaos Heaven or in other relics from other grotto-heavens.
Since that's the case, Hongjun selected some information that was widely circulated among the chaotic people and spread it.
As for those secrets concerning core interests, Hongjun kept them to himself.
The Four Saints didn't pay much attention; they were simply stunned by the grand narrative drawn up by their teacher, Hongjun.
"I never imagined that there were eight Chaos Epoch before we were born!"
