Hongjun waved his hand, and both the Phoenix Race and the Qilin Race felt the space around them shift. They were no longer in the Primordial World.
This was a different place, similar to the Primordial World in appearance, but countless times more desolate. There was nothing here, only endless deadlands.
"You two races shall each send a hundred billion to guard the Undying Volcano and the auspicious lands of the Primordial World. The rest can survive here and be responsible for converting Chaos Qi into the Primordial World."
This was a place Hongjun had just opened up, at the junction of Chaos and the Primordial World.
He would open up a world here, allowing the Phoenix Race and the Qilin Race to convert Spiritual Qi for the Primordial World.
This outcome was quite good for them; at least they wouldn't be annihilated.
"Many thanks, Sage!"
The two immediately knelt on the ground and bowed.
Hongjun was truly benevolent, actually leaving them a sliver of hope.
No, he hadn't even killed a single member of the Phoenix Race or the Qilin Race. They were merely thrown out to convert Chaos Qi. Although beings below Grand Unity couldn't survive in Chaos, the world Hongjun created was extraordinary.
It incorporated a sliver of Great Dao Power. The world's membrane could absorb Chaos Qi. The strong members of the Phoenix Race and the Qilin Race only needed to absorb the Chaos Qi from the world's membrane, refine it, and then transmit it into the Primordial World from within their bodies.
Starting with wisps of Chaos Qi, refining and converting them bit by bit, their bodies would eventually adapt to the power of Chaos.
Wisps of Chaos Qi were not fatal.
Hongjun nodded and waved his hand. A hundred billion members of the Phoenix Race and a hundred billion members of the Qilin Race were brought by Hongjun to the Undying Volcano in the southern part of the Primordial World and various locations across the land.
From then on, the conflict between the three races completely ended.
Hongjun personally suppressed the Dragon Race, who had wanted to lie low and reap benefits without making an oath to withdraw from the Primordial World's conflict. The elites of the Phoenix Race and the Qilin Race were also left in Chaos to convert Chaos Qi.
Like the Dragon Race, only a hundred billion members of the two races below Golden Immortal could survive in the Primordial World.
The leader of the Phoenix Race returning to the Primordial World was the Green Xuan Bird, Qing Luan. The leader of the Qilin Race returning to the Primordial World was the mount of Wen Zhong in the future, the Ink Qilin.
One was the mount of Nuwa when she became a Saint in the future (too much controversy, this book's setting, this character has foreshadowing, circle it for the exam), and the other was the mount of the Grand Tutor of the Great Shang.
There was still future plot, so Hongjun brought them back.
Logically speaking, the Great Dao shouldn't be so actively involved in the world's affairs.
Because everything below the Great Dao is predetermined. Past, future, and present are all one.
Things that have already happened, are happening, and will happen are all the same to the Great Dao.
Knowing everything that would happen in the future, how could it still be interesting?
But Hongjun was different, for two reasons.
The first reason, frankly speaking, Hongjun was also a Transmigrator. A split soul returning to the main body to control it was, in essence, equivalent to a Transmigrator.
He was still very young, a "novice Great Dao," so he was extremely interested in the Primordial World. (Explained in chapters one and two, please read carefully.)
The second reason, Transmigrators.
There were quite a few Transmigrators in the Primordial World. Furthermore, a single Transmigrator with a System could increase the energy for one world reincarnation. With so many Transmigrators, how could Hongjun not be tempted?
Even though increasing his strength was useless, who wouldn't want the world they controlled to become bigger and stronger?
Moreover, Hongjun was also very curious about a Primordial World with Transmigrators, wanting to see how this world would develop.
Therefore, Hongjun decided that he, as the Great Dao, would act as the Heavenly Dao's spokesperson, Dao Ancestor Hongjun!
With the matter of the three races settled, it was time for Hongjun to leave.
Next, he would go to Chaos to establish the Purple Firmament Palace and proceed according to the plot.
He glanced at the Primordial World and suddenly had a strange feeling.
Leaving so directly... was it a bit too low-key?
So, he spoke:
"High above the nine heavens I recline, on a lotus seat I understand the Dao's truth; Beyond the Xuanhuang of Heaven and Earth, I shall be the honored sect leader; Pangu gave birth to Taiji, Yin and Yang follow the Four Symbols; The supreme leader of the Xuanmen, one Qi transforms into Hongjun."
Throughout the Primordial World, Dao sounds resonated, and the minds of many Great Powers in the Primordial World were stirred, feeling that the Dao charm within these Dao sounds was truly extraordinary.
They seemed to understand, yet not understand, profoundly mysterious.
After reciting the poem, Hongjun was about to leave, but his thoughts turned.
"I almost forgot about them."
Hao Tian and Yao Chi.
The next part of the plot was the sermon in the Purple Heaven Palace, and he hadn't taken them on as his attendants yet.
Hongjun counted on his fingers, then scanned the Primordial World with his mind. His gaze fell upon a young man.
"Hmm? Hmm!!! Hmm??????"
Hongjun was stunned. To be honest, he was a little shocked.
How did Hao Tian shapeshift on his own???
Normally, Hao Tian would be a stubborn rock, and he and Yao Chi would only shapeshift after being enlightened by my hand.
How did Hao Tian shapeshift on his own? Is this another Transmigrator??
Hongjun frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and flashed before the youth.
The youth was still shocked by Hongjun's forceful intervention in the conflict between the three tribes. This Primordial World wasn't quite the one he knew, and then he suddenly saw the giant Hongjun, who had been at the Undying Volcano, transform into an ordinary old man who appeared before him.
So, he was stunned!
Hongjun suddenly appeared before him???
It's over, it's over! I'm doomed! He's going to kill me! He's a Transmigrator! Hongjun must know, right?
He must, right?
As an outsider, he'll definitely be purged by a Sage, won't he?
[Host, do not worry. Hongjun will not discover your identity as a Transmigrator.]
At this moment, the System's voice echoed in the youth's mind.
System?
As a youth who was a shut-in in the 21st century, he naturally knew what a System was. He had come to this world and cultivated diligently for who knows how many tens of thousands of years before the System finally appeared!
"System, do you think Hongjun will discover my identity?"
The youth quickly asked the System in his mind.
Why ask directly in his mind? Because that's how it's written in other novels, and speaking directly to the System, even if Hongjun didn't notice he was a Transmigrator at first, he would definitely think he was talking to himself and had issues, right?
[Yes, this System perfectly shields Heavenly Dao perception, and the Great Dao is impartial, treating Transmigrators equally. It will not manifest because of the host.]
The System replied.
"Really? Phew, that's great. I thought I was going to die right after shapeshifting."
The youth breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ahem."
Hongjun coughed lightly, signaling that he was still there.
"Junior greets the Sage!"
The youth quickly bowed to Hongjun and said:
"May I ask why the Sage is looking for this junior?"
"I wish to establish the Purple Firmament Palace, and I am still in need of a pair of male and female attendants. I wonder if you would be willing to become a Sage's attendant by my side?"
Hongjun said with a calm expression.
