Dealing with the Transmigrators (1)
Upon seeing Hongjun, the Transmigrator dared not make any rash moves.
Jieyin and Zhunti breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hongjun, was our presence here all part of your plan?!"
Tai Yi asked Hongjun a question.
The others felt a chill run down their spines when they saw Hongjun's indifferent expression.
Could it be that Hongjun already knew their true nature?
"This Poor Daoist just here to watch the show, don't try to pin all the blame on me, okay?"
Hongjun complained.
"According to you Transmigrator, I can only be considered the general manager of the Prehistoric World; the chairman is someone else entirely."
The Transmigrator looked at each other in bewilderment.
Hongjun seems to know quite a lot, but according to Hongjun, are there other masterminds behind the scenes in the prehistoric Prehistoric World?
"Let's attack together!"
After exchanging glances with Xuan Qing and Da Yi, Tai Yi launched his strongest attack directly at Hongjun.
The power of this attack is such that unless one is at least at the 50th level of the Primordial Realm Chaos Realm, there is absolutely no chance of anything following up.
To everyone's astonishment.
Hongjun merely activated the Jade Disc of Creation Fragment, and it dissolved.
"How is that possible!"
"Could this Prehistoric World Hongjun be a manifestation of the Great Dao?"
Hongjun ignored the crowd.
The Jade Disc of Creation Fragment shimmered with Immortal Light, instantly transporting everyone to the boundary between the Prehistoric World and Chaos.
A figure sat cross-legged in the void, having been waiting for some time.
Zhang Hao's gaze swept over the group of time Transmigrator.
All the systems felt a chill run down their spines.
Upon seeing Hongjun, they still harbored a sliver of rebellious thoughts.
But after meeting Zhang Hao, the thought of resistance vanished.
Only the Survival System within Di Jun remained relatively calm.
No matter what, it was a system created by the Demon God Wang Shu, and it had seen far too many Great Wind.
"Heavenly Dao Lord, spare my life! I haven't done anything wrong in the Prehistoric World!"
The Survival System burst out directly from Di Jun's body.
He's a professional at admitting defeat!
Zhang Hao's gaze Survival System, a faint smile flashing in his eyes.
"Don't worry, I've seen everything you've done."
Survival System breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, he had brought his own funding to the team, otherwise it would have been dangerous.
"Lord Heavenly Dao, my host has absolutely not harmed the Prehistoric World!"
Di Jun looked at the Survival System with gratitude.
Unexpectedly, even at this moment, the system still wanted to lend him a hand.
"Um."
Zhang Hao nodded slightly and stopped looking at him.
And you?
Zhang Hao's gaze swept over Tai Yi, Xuan Qing, Da Yi, who were controlled by the system, as well as the several system spirits within them that seemed to be facing a formidable enemy.
The Many Sons, Much Fortune System, the Devouring System," and the Sun Shooting System" have all lost their previous arrogance and greed.
Under Zhang Hao's gaze, they felt as if they were naked and exposed to the sun.
All the Jidu were laid bare.
"I... we were just passing by, yes, just passing by!"
The Sun Shooting System was the first to back down, its voice trembling.
"Yes, yes, I'm just passing by, I'll be right there!"
The Devouring System quickly echoed this.
The Many Sons, Much Fortune System remained silent, but controlled Tai Yi's body, causing him to lower his head slightly.
Zhang Hao seemed not to hear the systems' explanations, and had already condensed streaks of Purple Firmament Divine Thunder in his hands.
"Tell me, how do you plan to compensate me?"
Zhang Hao's voice remained calm.
"Compensation...?"
The Sun Shooting System was taken aback.
"Lord Heavenly Dao, how about I compensate you with a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure?"
The Devouring System became even quieter.
Zhang Hao smiled.
That smile was faint, yet it sent chills down the spines of all the systems and Transmigrator.
They all really thought he was mentally challenged or stupid.
He raised his hand and gently grasped at Tai Yi, Xuan Qing, and Da Yi.
"No--!"
"Spare me!"
"We're willing to work! To work for a lifetime!"
Amidst piercing screams and pleas for mercy, three orbs of system spiritual light of different colors were forcibly ripped from Tai Yi, Xuan Qing, and Da Yi's bodies!
Tai Yi, Xuan Qing, and Da Yi all went limp at the same time and fainted.
The three clusters of system energy writhed wildly in Zhang Hao's palm, filled with terror.
"Let's pay with our lives."
As soon as he finished speaking, the laws of the Heavenly Dao gathered in Zhang Hao's palm.
The auras of the Many Sons, Much Fortune System, the Devouring System, and the Sun Shooting System dimmed and became transparent at a visible speed.
In the end, they all transformed into the most primordial source, which Zhang Hao used to fill the Prehistoric World.
These systems just disappeared like that?
Chen Tian and Zhou Qing stood frozen in place, staring blankly at the three clusters of system spiritual light that had been completely annihilated in Zhang Hao's palm.
The systems of the nineteenth, sixteenth, and Nine Heavens of the Primordial Chaos Primordial Realm were wiped out without a second thought...
Is this the true power that rules the Prehistoric World?
"As for the two of you..."
Zhang Hao's gaze finally fell on Chen Tian and Zhou Qing.
Chen Tian took a deep breath, stepped forward, subtly shielding Zhou Qing behind him, and bowed deeply to Zhang Hao:
"Heavenly Dao is above, Chen Tian knows he bears the sins, and accepts whatever punishment he may receive without complaint."
"Fellow Daoist Zhou Qing's actions were all for the survival of Human Race. Chen Tian is willing to bear all the blame!"
"The Thirteen Ancestral Witches ..." Zhou Qing's eyes welled up with tears. He wanted to step forward, but Chen Tian stopped him with a stern look.
Zhang Hao looked at Chen Tian, neither confirming nor denying.
"Chen Tian, Zhou Qing."
"You may be spared the death penalty, but you cannot escape punishment."
"Effective immediately, strip the Ancestral Witch and the Emperor Sui of their titles and banish them to the Netherworld Underworld."
"Chen Tian is the Great Emperor Fengdu, in charge of the laws of the Netherworld, suppressing evil and dispelling wickedness, and regulating yin and yang. If there is any error, multiple crimes will be punished."
"Zhou Qing Human Dao Master Humanity Dao, in charge of the cycle of reincarnation, guiding virtuous souls, and judging merits and demerits. If he shows any bias, he will suffer the consequences in the cycle of reincarnation."
"You must diligently perform your duties and atone for your sins in the netherworld through Netherworld deeds. Only when your merits are complete will you attain true freedom."
Chen Tian and Zhou Qing were both taken aback upon hearing this.
Does Heavenly Dao have no intention of punishing them?
"What, are you not satisfied?"
"No, no, no..."
Zhang Hao smiled.
He originally intended for Chen Tian to be buried in the ground.
But Empress Pingxin had pleaded for him privately, he couldn't possibly refuse to show any mercy.
As for Zhou Qing...
He hadn't committed any major offenses in the Prehistoric World, and the Underworld was short of people, so they simply gave him to Ping Xin.
"Chen Tian, you have a good older sister."
With a wave of Zhang Hao's hand, Chaos swirled, and Chen Tian and Zhou Qing felt the scene before them change abruptly.
A chilling wind whistled, will-o'-the-wisps flickered, the River of Oblivion flowed silently, and the Naihe Bridge spanned its two banks.
This is the Netherworld Underworld.
Chen Tian steadied himself and looked up.
Reincarnation Hall, a figure stood silently.
She wore a black imperial robe and Flat Heaven Crown, her face vaguely resembling that of Ancestral Witch Houtu, but with a touch of the vicissitudes of reincarnation and Earthly Dao majesty of a sage.
It was none other than Empress Pingxin.
"Thirteenth brother."
Ping Xin's voice was calm and even, revealing no emotion, and his gaze was fixed on Chen Tian with a complex and unfathomable meaning.
Chen Tian felt a pang of sadness. He stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Chen Tian greets Empress Pingxin."
"No need for such formalities."
Ping Xin raised her hand to help him up, her gaze sweeping over him before turning to Zhou Qing, who looked slightly bewildered.
"The decree of Heavenly Dao has arrived, Great Emperor Fengdu, Human Dao Master."
"From this day forward, the two of you will guard the Netherworld, regulate Yin and Yang, and maintain the cycle of reincarnation."
"Past sins should be offset by merits accumulated in the Netherworld."
Her tone was calm, yet carried the dignity of Earthly Dao sage.
Chen Tian took a deep breath and looked up directly at Ping Xin:
Chen Tian understands and will certainly fulfill his duties to atone for his sins.
Ping Xin nodded slightly, said nothing more, and turned to look at Zhou Qing.
"Zhou Qing, the Six Paths are not yet complete. You are the number one person in the Innate Realm. Are you willing to become the Human Dao Master?"
A flicker of struggle crossed Zhou Qing's eyes.
The Human Dao Master is a Saint of the Earthly Dao.
"Your Majesty, Zhou Qing is willing to suppress Humanity Dao with his physical body. Please, Your Majesty, send me into the Six Paths of Reincarnation."
Zhou Qing spoke his mind and breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't want to be a Human Dao Master; he only wanted to return to Human Race.
Ping Xin and Chen Tian both saw through Zhou Qing's thoughts.
"Brother Zhou Qing, have you thought this through? With your Primordial Dao Fruit, once you enter reincarnation, you will surely return after countless Measure Calamity."
Chen Tian still wanted to dissuade Zhou Qing, but Zhou Qing was determined to leave.
Zhou Qing bowed deeply to Chen Tian and Ping Xin.
Then the True Spirit left the physical body and plunged directly into the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
"Chen Tian, if there's a chance, we'll meet again in the next life!"
