Primordial Wilderness: I Repeatedly Offered Poisonous Schemes! Houtu Advised Me to Calm Down

All the great divine ability users who had been drawn by the Heavenly Court's commotion—whether out of envy, dissatisfaction, or regret—fell silent at once.

Was the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Dao Fruit good?

Good!

Even in the Primordial Wilderness, Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals were the absolute strongest; the path to Quasi-Saint had not yet been widely taught.

Though a few Quasi-Saints still existed, they were extremely rare and had broken through only through various special circumstances.

In other words, obtaining these six Dao Fruits would instantly elevate one to the top tier of the entire Primordial Wilderness.

But every gift of fate had long since had its price secretly—no, openly—marked.

"The one who wields the Heavenly Tribulation Dao Fruit must descend tribulations upon all living beings in the Primordial Wilderness!"

"This Karma is too great!"

"This means making enemies of every creature in the entire Primordial Wilderness!"

Fuxi, who had just declared that destiny favored the Demon Race, retracted his words.

Kunpeng, who had been about to rise, halted his steps.

PS: New book released, seedling stage!

The little author begs for flowers, begs for tips, begs for monthly tickets, begs for evaluation tickets, begs for comments, and all other support!

Chapter 7: The First Sage Leads the Later Sages, Subduing the Heavenly Tribulation Dao Fruit! (Beg for flowers and monthly tickets!)

Countless faces shifted from envy and jealousy to utter bewilderment.

Even though everyone understood that this matter of descending tribulations was not the will of the Dao Fruit's wielder, but an inevitable operation of the Heavenly Dao.

Even though everyone knew it had nothing to do with the one who descended the tribulations.

If one's own close friends, family, or even oneself encountered tribulations from that person, suffering losses or even death—could anyone truly remain rational?

Difficult. Extremely difficult.

Thus, the path of descending tribulations was undoubtedly set against the entire Primordial Wilderness.

They could not blame the Heavenly Dao.

But if there was a concrete executor, then there was a target for hatred.

No matter who sat in that position, it would inevitably bring immense Karma.

Even the once-prosperous Demon Race Heavenly Court, which had been riding a wave of success, now faced enormous collateral impact.

Because the Demon Race Heavenly Court could not refuse!

From its very establishment, it was meant to command heaven and earth and complete the order of the world.

Now, the Heavenly Tribulation was also part of heaven and earth's order—even the most important order—and it was personally bestowed by the Heavenly Dao.

Could the Demon Race Heavenly Court refuse?

On the contrary, it had to actively promote it; otherwise, it would shake the Heavenly Court's foundation and suffer backlash from the Heavenly Dao.

At this moment, countless beings across the Primordial Wilderness realized this.

"Suddenly, I'm not jealous anymore!"

Some being let out a sigh.

If the Demon Race Heavenly Court's duty was like this, then he had no envy at all for the benefits Di Jun and the others had gained.

The Heavenly Dao's favor could not save one's life. If everyone relied purely on the Heavenly Dao's blessing, then why bother cultivating at all?

The experts active in this era were all Innate Beings. "Innate, innate"—meaning born from the Innate Dao.

Even if they came into existence after the Heavenly Dao.

Their foundations were all Innate objects, Innate heritage, predating the Heavenly Dao.

For example, Fuxi's Innate Yang Energy, or Zhunti's Innate Bodhi Tree—both were Innate Foundations.

They revered the Heavenly Dao because they knew it was powerful, that it was the order of the Primordial Wilderness, a kind of Great Dao—but that did not mean they blindly believed in it.

With the sudden descent of the Heavenly Tribulation Dao Fruit, The momentum of the Heavenly Court was abruptly cut short.

Many powerful beings and races that had wavered due to the Heavenly Court's establishment paused to continue observing.

Though there were still occasional races declaring their allegiance to the Demon Race Heavenly Court, The sharply reduced speed at which Heavenly Dao merit descended from the sky said it all.

"How could this be!"

Di Jun nearly fainted from rage.

His expression was grim to the extreme.

He had thought everything was going well, only to stumble hard at this critical moment.

Even because the sharp decline in merit did not meet expectations, his breakthrough progress was further slowing down.

This time, it seemed he would not be able to break through to Quasi-Saint!

Di Jun's heart sank.

Heavenly Tribulation Dao Fruit, Heavenly Tribulation Dao Fruit!

The many experts of the Demon Race's Heavenly Court all looked with complex expressions at the descending Heavenly Tribulation Dao Fruit before them.

They could not refuse; they had to carry out the tribulation.

And at this very moment, in certain places, quite a few experts had already begun their breakthroughs.

The Primordial Wilderness was vast, and with some sensing the tribulation, they instinctively tried to break through early to avoid it while the tribulation was still unsettled.

This caused the tribulation's required power to skyrocket in an instant.

The inscrutable Heavenly Dao urgently pressed Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

Di Jun gritted his teeth, then suddenly turned to Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

"Second Brother, I need your help!"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi's expression froze as he looked at Di Jun; he understood what his elder brother meant.

But for him to take charge of the Heavenly Tribulation—wouldn't that mean all that Karma would fall upon his head?

However, Di Jun quickly explained.

"It's different. If this great situation collapses in an instant, and we don't turn it around quickly, then the Heavenly Court you and I built will become a joke!"

"And now, the only chance lies in this Heavenly Tribulation Dao Fruit!"

"Failure comes from the tribulation, but perhaps success also comes from the tribulation!"

"Once the Heavenly Tribulation is set, it cannot be hindered, but if we take charge of it, it's not just a threat—we can also bestow favors!"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi's gaze shifted, and he instantly grasped Di Jun's meaning.

"Elder Brother, you mean—adjust the strength of the Heavenly Tribulation!"

Di Jun looked at his second brother, who had followed his train of thought, and nodded happily.

"Exactly. This is a threat, but also an opportunity!"

"If we can take charge of the Heavenly Tribulation and alter its intensity, that would be an even better thing. It means we can freely control the rise and fall of immortals. That would be a true Heavenly Court. Then, even the Wu Clan would be nothing but ants!"

"Because all living beings in the Primordial Wilderness, whether willing or not, will have to stand with us. No matter how powerful an existence, they have friends and family—there will always be a need!"

"This is the greatest Karma, yet also the greatest opportunity!"

After this speech, even Eastern Emperor Taiyi's breathing grew heavy, deeply realizing the benefits within.

Di Jun struck while the iron was hot.

"Thus, mastering the Heavenly Tribulation Dao Fruit is of utmost importance. We must find a way to regulate the Heavenly Tribulation. This requires the tribulation's wielder to have sufficient cultivation, and you and I are the strongest in the Heavenly Court!"

"Moreover, this Heavenly Tribulation must be held in the hands of us brothers!"

Saying this, Di Jun saw that Eastern Emperor Taiyi was tempted but still hesitant. He gritted his teeth, waved his sleeve, and sent his own share of merit entirely to Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

"For the greater plan, this elder brother will forsake much merit to help you break through to Quasi-Saint first!"

"Let the first sage lead the later sage!"

No amount of words could match tangible benefits.

In the end, the merit Di Jun gave moved Eastern Emperor Taiyi completely, and he agreed.

He had already been tempted, but he was no fool. The Heavenly Tribulation was so important—how could the Heavenly Dao allow it to be easily altered? He wasn't sure he could achieve what his elder brother described.

But with the merit Di Jun offered...

Earlier, the decline in merit had left them unable to break through to Quasi-Saint together, but if it were concentrated on one person...
