Primordial Era: Mistaking the Jade Emperor for My Son at the Start

The crowd's hearts pounded with fear, and everyone was so terrified they all sat down on the ground.

The Primordial Era's first great tribulation was actually like this!

Sect Master Tongtian and Saintess Nuwa felt their scalps tingle. Their teacher, Hongjun, was actually so disgusting?!

Dao Ancestor?

This bastard actually dared to call himself Dao Ancestor?

Pah!

"Pah! What kind of bullshit Dao Ancestor is that!"

Yang Jian cursed viciously, "Even a beast is a hundred times better than him!"

"Exactly!"

The Seven Fairies, San Xiao, and Zhao Gongming all nodded in agreement.

The image of Dao Ancestor Hongjun plummeted in everyone's hearts.

"Grandpa, what's the second step of the Seal Heaven Plan?" Yang Jian asked.

Since the Seal Heaven Plan had seven steps, there had to be more.

"Yes, yes, Grandpa, hurry and tell us, what is the second step of the Seal Heaven Plan? What's its purpose?" Sect Master Tongtian also nodded repeatedly, extremely concerned about the entire Seal Heaven Plan.

"The second step of the Seal Heaven Plan is much simpler and clearer,"

Zhang Yifan chuckled, "It is: The War of Dao and Demon."

"The War of Dao and Demon? The battle between Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohu?" Saintess Nuwa exclaimed in surprise. Was this also a step in the Seal Heaven Plan?

"Little Lunlun is right!"

Zhang Yifan patted Nuwa's head, praising her, and continued, "The three tribes that were immensely powerful and prosperous on the Primordial Continent were annihilated by the combined forces of Hongjun and Luohu. Naturally, the two of them became arrogant."

"At first, the two could still cooperate. But with their common enemy destroyed, their conflict naturally resurfaced."

"Of course, even if they didn't have a conflict, Hongjun would have deliberately made an enemy of Luohu."

"Deliberately made an enemy? Why?" the Jade Emperor asked curiously.

"After the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation, the remnant Chaos Divine Beasts and Primordial Exotic Beasts were almost wiped out. But for Hongjun, it wasn't enough. There were still some beings with Chaos Demon God origins in the Primordial Continent."

"Inciting a deadly battle with Luohu was not only to compete for the position of the supreme ruler of the Primordial Continent and the spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao, but also to take the opportunity to make a bunch of top Primordial powerhouses choose sides."

"This was a battle among the top life forms of the Primordial Continent."

"The purpose was to kill the remnant Chaos Demon Beasts and those with Chaos Demon God origins, so that there would be no one with Chaos Demon God origins in the Primordial Era ever again."

"Grandpa, I have a question."

Sect Master Tongtian asked doubtfully, "Is Dao Ancestor Hongjun so wary of these remnant Chaos Divine Beasts, remnant Chaos Demon Beasts, and Primordial Exotic Beasts? Why did he want to exterminate them completely? Wouldn't it be better for Hongjun to recruit these powerful beings under his banner?"

"You've discovered a blind spot. Hahaha, Little Tongtong, very good!" Zhang Yifan praised Tongtian, pointing at him.

"I just suddenly thought of this," Sect Master Tongtian said, a little embarrassed by the praise.

Zhang Yifan smiled mysteriously, "Why exterminate them completely? This involves Dao Ancestor Hongjun's origins. Once his origins are known, no one will obey him."

"Dao Ancestor Hongjun's origins?"

The crowd gasped.

On the Primordial Continent, no one knew anything about Dao Ancestor Hongjun's origins!

What was his background, what were his origins? Countless Primordial powerhouses had tried to investigate and uncover it, but no one had obtained even a shred of information!

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yifan knew this secret!

As expected of a Great Dao Sage.

"Father, then what are Hongjun's origins?" the Jade Emperor quickly asked.

"Let's talk about the Seal Heaven Plan first. Dao Ancestor Hongjun's origins will be discussed later," Zhang Yifan said with a smile, shaking his head.

Oh.

The Jade Emperor, Sect Master Tongtian, Nuwa, Queen Mother, and others were a bit disappointed, wishing they could know immediately.

Seeing their reactions, Zhang Yifan appeased them, "This matter involves too much. If you know now, it will only cause trouble. Who knows, you might be walking down the street tomorrow and be struck into pieces by lightning from the sky."

"We are all mortals. We shouldn't get too deeply involved in the affairs of gods and demons. I'm doing this for your own good."

"Yes, Father," the Jade Emperor nodded.

Sect Master Tongtian, Nuwa, and the others stopped asking.

Being able to know about Dao Ancestor Hongjun's Seal Heaven Plan was already an incredible thing.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun's origins were indeed as Zhang Yifan said, extremely secret and deeply involved.

For hundreds of millions of years, no one had been able to find out. It was likely that Dao Ancestor Hongjun himself was behind this, pulling the strings.

Revealing this matter now might even provoke Dao Ancestor Hongjun to hunt them down.

"The first step of the Seal Heaven Plan was to eliminate the remnant Chaos Divine Beasts and Primordial Exotic Beasts. At the same time, this catastrophe was defined as the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation, introducing the concept of Primordial tribulations. Thus, Hongjun gained the right to interpret the Heavenly Dao. Whatever he said was final, and no one could refute it."

"The second step of the Seal Heaven Plan, the Dao-Demon conflict. It not only set the Primordial Era continent on the path of the Xuanmen world, but also annihilated the remnants of the Chaos Demon Gods and those with origins connected to them. Thus, Hongjun completely cleared the influence of Chaos Divine Beasts and Chaos Demon Gods on the Primordial Era continent!"

The Jade Emperor pondered for a moment and summarized.

"Not bad, not bad, a very good summary! You truly are my son." Zhang Yifan nodded and praised.

This son is quite smart.

"Of course, it's all thanks to Dad's good genes, inherited, hahaha." The Jade Emperor chuckled proudly.

Seeing Zhang Yifan and the Jade Emperor praising each other, Queen Mother, the Seven Fairies, and the others also chuckled secretly.

"Dao Ancestor Hongjun also had a good strategy. He precisely eliminated the races he wanted to eliminate, achieved his various goals, and remained uninvolved, leaving no room for suspicion."

Tongtian, the Sect Master, shivered and exclaimed.

Thinking back to the open and covert struggles and schemes among the Sages now, it seemed ridiculous.

What Sages' plans, in front of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, were simply child's play!

"Dao Ancestor's plan is truly astonishing," Saintess Nuwa agreed with Tongtian's viewpoint.

"Dad, after the Seal Heaven Plan, will it be the Purple Heaven Palace Preaching next?" Queen Mother continued to lead the conversation.

Just now, Zhang Yifan mentioned that the greatest and most terrifying tribulation in the Primordial Era was the Purple Heaven Palace Preaching.

And after the Dao-Demon conflict, Hongjun would achieve sainthood and preach in the Purple Heaven Palace.

"That's right," Zhang Yifan nodded.

Here it comes!

Sect Master Tongtian, Saintess Nuwa, Kirin Ancestor, Dragon Ancestor, the Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, and the others were all shaken.

"During the Dao-Demon conflict, Hongjun was already a half-step Sage. Not long after killing Luohu, he used the Jade of Creation to achieve sainthood."

Zhang Yifan continued, "After becoming a Sage, Hongjun's might shook the Primordial Era, and his strength became number one."

"More importantly, the great powers of the Primordial Era had no method to become Sages. But Hongjun did!"

"Who wouldn't want to become a Sage?"

"Furthermore, Hongjun was very clever. The Purple Heaven Palace Preaching didn't start immediately; it began three thousand years later!"

"Why do you think that is?"

"Why?" the Jade Emperor and the others asked curiously.

"Of course, it was to spread the news of Hongjun becoming a Sage and preaching in the Purple Heaven Palace throughout the entire Primordial Era, so that all races and all beings would know about it!"

"From the highest heavens to the deepest underworld, there would be no one who didn't know, no one who wasn't aware!"

"The world would know that Hongjun is the foremost being in the world! The sole ruler of the Primordial Era! And such a supreme being was going to lecture and preach to all beings in the Primordial Era for free and without compensation!"

Zhang Yifan laughed, "This is Dao Ancestor Hongjun's publicity work for the Purple Heaven Palace Preaching, and he did an excellent job on this point."

"With good publicity, the great powers would naturally rush over, willingly stepping into his trap!"

Stepping into Dao Ancestor Hongjun's trap?

Sect Master Tongtian and Saintess Nuwa both gasped.

Didn't they eagerly rush to listen to the lecture back then?

They even went several hundred years early, afraid of missing it.

So, they walked right into a trap?

Why?

Chapter 44: Hongjun: I am the only parent of the Primordial Era

"Why is the Purple Heaven Palace Preaching a trap?" the Jade Emperor asked doubtfully.

After the Purple Heaven Palace was established, the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother were enlightened by Dao Ancestor Hongjun and became the only two Dao children in the Purple Heaven Palace. For them, the Purple Heaven Palace represented their new beginning.

Therefore, Queen Mother also asked in confusion, "Dad. Exactly. The Purple霄 Palace Preaching gave all beings in the Primordial Era cultivation methods and pursuits. Isn't this considered benefiting all living beings?"

Queen Mother's words caused Saintess Nuwa and the others to nod in agreement.

"Hahahaha, benefiting all living beings?"

Zhang Yifan laughed heartily, "We just discussed the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation and the Dao-Demon conflict. Do you still think Hongjun is someone who benefits all living beings?"

"My daughter-in-law, you are still too naive."

Hearing this, Queen Mother blushed with embarrassment.

Right!

They had just called Hongjun worse than an animal, so how could he be someone who benefited all living beings!
