What Protagonist of Heaven and Earth? Merely a Puppet on Someone Else's Strings-Chi You's Shock

"No matter. This is the course of events, one the Interception Sect cannot escape."

Hongjun said calmly, "Though little time has passed, my deductions show that Tribulation Qi is growing and the Tribulation of Calamity is near. You should discuss this carefully, lest you slaughter one another and send Saints onto the Investiture List!"

He said it lightly.

But the Hunyuan Saints were stunned. "Teacher, we could still end up on the List?"

"Dao Ancestor, surely there's some mistake? We've become Hunyuan Saints, untouched through ten thousand tribulations and free to roam as we please. Tribulation Qi may cling to us, but Karma should not. How could we end up on the List?"

"We're of the Witch Clan. When we die, our bodies return directly to heaven and earth. Surely we needn't go on the List?"

"Fool, do you want to die?"

"Teacher, what is going on? Why could we still end up on the List?"

The Saints panicked and began asking questions over one another.

After becoming Saints, their outlook had risen several levels. At the very least, they had thought they, too, could someday be the ones moving the pieces.

Who would have imagined they could still end up on the List after becoming Saints?

If becoming Saints did not save them from death, what was the point of being Hunyuan Saints?

The Heavenly Dao Saints present, by contrast, showed no reaction, as though they had heard nothing.

As Heavenly Dao Saints, their Primordial Spirits had long since been entrusted to the Heavenly Dao Origin. They were truly undying and indestructible, untouched through ten thousand tribulations, with inexhaustible power in the Primordial Wilderness. There was no question of calamity befalling them.

As for the Earthly Dao Saints...

They had grown close to the Interception Sect in recent years
