At this thought, a flicker of delight passed through Lu Yuan's eyes. In this Primordial World, if one could not attain the Primordial Dao Fruit, then whether one was a Great Luo Dao Lord or a Great Divine Ability User, one would remain nothing more than an ant or mayfly.
They could only become pawns in the sages' schemes and the Heavenly Dao's crushing wheels. Even if they spent every day trembling with fear, shutting themselves away to quietly chant the Yellow Court and avoiding karmic sinful power, once a calamity arose, the first ones the Heavenly Dao would settle accounts with would be the worn-out, decaying straw dogs.
Thus, beneath the Heavenly Dao Trend, if one wished to transcend all things and roam free, the only path was to prove the Dao of Hunyuan and pluck the sage's fruit position.
If he did not seize this era in which the Mysterious Gate Immortal Dao ruled heaven and earth to transcend the sea of suffering and prove the Dao to become a sage, then once this era ended, he would become a straw dog and puppet manipulated by the Heavenly Dao, with no potential left and every possibility severed!
Even disciples beneath a sage, if they were no longer worth using, would be crushed by the great trend of heaven and earth and reduced to ashes!
Even with a sage's favor, they would merely be lingering on!
Lu Yuan had no desire to become a puppet hollowed out by the Heavenly Dao, lingering on beneath the protection of Daoist Shangqing Tongtian.
Besides, no matter how deep the bond or how much a sage favored and cared for you, given enough time, that affection and favor would gradually wear away day by day!
One had to rely on oneself!
