Hongjun's Wariness of Pangu and the Mystery of Ling Xiao's Connection
In the Purple Heaven Palace, Hongjun's eyes flickered, deep and unfathomable, like a black hole.
Throughout these endless years, he has been trying to merge his body with the Dao. Countless millennia have passed in the blink of an eye, yet he has always been just one step away, the final push.
This puzzled him greatly, and now that he has woken up, he wants to check where the problem lies.
As he thought of this, time seemed to shift in Hongjun's eyes, and everything in the Primordial World, past and present, flashed through his mind like a series of images.
Even though the Primordial World was vast and boundless, with countless living beings and lands, it was almost entirely visible under Hongjun's thoughts.
Although he has not yet fully attained the Dao and cannot be considered part of the Heavenly Dao, the power of Sage is still unfathomable.
"This..."
A short while later, Hongjun's gaze changed. He seemed to have seen something utterly unbelievable, and his face stiffened for a moment.
During this process, Four Primordial Elements Purple Heaven Palace, space collapsed, time reversed, the five elements and yin and yang, life and death Reincarnation endlessly, and endless strange phenomena rose and fell.
All these terrifying changes stemmed from the fluctuations in Hongjun's emotions.
"Evil creature!"
In the tranquil Purple Heaven Palace, a clear voice suddenly rang out. Hongjun's expression turned solemn, and his eyes revealed an aura of great Destruction.
He never imagined that so many changes would occur during his time of attaining enlightenment.
Nuwa, still unaware of fate, led the demon race and the Witch Clan in a war that lasted for countless millennia. Not only did they fight, but they never won, and they couldn't even achieve a stalemate. They were mercilessly crushed by the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
The entire demon race was utterly decimated, and the gap between them and the Witch Clan was more than 108,000 miles.
Even inviting the Three Pure Ones couldn't turn the tide.
The Golden Crow of the Sun Star still showed no interest in the demon race. He originally thought that the Golden Crow's cultivation level was too low to be of any use.
But the truth is quite the opposite. The protagonist of the Tribulation, Di Jun and Tai Yi, is powerful enough to fight against the Witch Clan. The most outrageous thing is the third Golden Crow.
He single-handedly fought against the Twelve Ancestral Witches, and even the Pangu Phantom couldn't do anything to him.
They wiped out the Witch Clan completely.
"What a wretched child! To have led the path of the laws to this point..."
Hongjun's gaze shifted. He had initially thought that the Golden Crow, unable to navigate the path of the laws, would change its mind and side with the demon race.
As a result, they not only got through, but they also made it very smooth.
No wonder they don't want to associate with the demon race and prefer to stay on the Sun Star and cultivate honestly; it's quite a pleasant place indeed.
I wouldn't want to deal with the demon race either.
But the issue now isn't about whether to intervene or not; it concerns the grand scheme of things.
He used to think that the Golden Crow was too weak to fight against the Witch Clan, but now the problem has been reversed. The Golden Crow is too strong, and the Witch Clan can't defeat it.
This is too difficult!
"The Witch Clan ... Pangu Phantom ..." Hongjun murmured to himself. Besides the Golden Crow, the Pangu Phantom also made him suspicious and wary. In his view, this was not a simple formation, but a wisp of Pangu's will.
Since the beginning of time, the will of Pangu should have dissipated and returned to nothingness. Unexpectedly, it still exists in the world and can still have an impact on the Primordial World.
This can be seen from the fact that the Witch Clan worshipped Mount Buzhou, but what puzzled Hongjun the most was the most recent one.
After Pangu's phantom appeared, it quickly dissipated in the face of Ling Xiao.
To outsiders, this might seem like a coincidence, but to him, it was definitely not that simple.
"Could Ling Xiao have some inexplicable connection with Pangu?"
Hongjun looked thoughtful. Considering what had happened before, Ling Xiao was an anomaly, just like Yang Mei, both belonging to the category of "those who escaped".
However, he is somewhat different from others, seemingly having a mysterious connection with Pangu.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches claim to be descendants of Pangu, the Pangu Orthodox Lineage, but that's all nonsense.
After Pangu separated heaven and earth, he created the Primordial World. Everything was created by him. The Twelve Ancestral Witches were just a drop in the ocean, not even a hair.
Based on this calculation, what does Ling Xiao represent?
"Could it be that Pangu's will is gathering, attempting to disrupt the Heavenly Dao and return to the origins of Heaven and Earth?"
Hongjun's thoughts shifted rapidly, a thousand possibilities arising in an instant; he was too sensitive, considering far too many possibilities.
Furthermore, during the period when he merged with the Dao, the Witch Clan was frantically collecting the Pangu's Legacy. Could this also be a way of promoting the rebirth of Pangu Will?
This trend began as early as when the Witch Clan worshipped Mount Buzhou. Perhaps the Twelve Ancestral Witches were guided by Pangu and wanted to seize back control of the Primordial World during his period of merging with the Dao?
The more Hongjun thought about it, the more confused and unpredictable things seemed.
No wonder he was always one step short of achieving perfect enlightenment.
With so many changes occurring, it would be strange if it could succeed.
"Ling Xiao..."
Hongjun muttered these two words with an inexplicable expression, his gaze piercing through layers of obstacles and endless time and space, landing on the Nanming Volcano.
"I will absolutely not allow anything to disrupt the Primordial World!"
In order to perfect the Heavenly Dao, he did not hesitate to merge himself with the Way, all for the sake of making the world more stable.
He would show no leniency to anyone who tried to disrupt this peaceful existence.
"The Great Dao Way is impartial and the Heavenly Dao is selfless. Now that I am about to unite with the Way, I naturally cannot have any selfish thoughts."
"Ling Xiao, everything you have done has already affected the overall trend of Heavenly Dao. Minor trends can be altered, but major trends cannot be reversed."
"You must bear the consequences of this Karma..."
Hongjun remained expressionless, his eyes deep, and his soft words seemed to come from the ends of the earth.
Then his gaze fell upon Mount Buzhou, and a hint of apprehension flickered in his eyes.
After experiencing the Demon Ancestor Luohu, Hongjun felt a long-lost sense of crisis.
The situation is complicated and uncertain; every step from here on must be taken with caution.
"Nuwa, the Three Pure Ones should also become saints..."
Hongjun sighed softly. These foolish disciples were being led by the nose by the Golden Crow, not only were they being beaten, but they were even being used.
Others are practically becoming saints just by playing around with it, while his disciples are still clueless and showing no improvement.
Now that something unexpected has happened, it's precisely the time when their help is needed.
He has not yet fully merged with the Heavenly Dao. Once he does, he can only act in accordance with the general trend of the Dao of Heavenly Dao and cannot act arbitrarily.
As the saying goes, "If the general trend does not change, Hongjun will not appear."
"Heavenly Dao is impartial; one cannot escape the Karma that is destined to come!"
In Hongjun's eyes, the laws were complex, and countless Karma Thread covered the heavens and earth. Although he had not fully merged with the Dao, he could already use a portion of the power of the Heavenly Dao.
Endless Karma Thread, intricate and continuous, shrouded the Primordial World, reversing time and traversing the past...
At the same time.
Deep within the Nanming Volcano, the system's mechanical voice echoed in Ling Xiao's mind once more.
[It has been detected that Hongjun is aware of the host's actions and is therefore angered. Please make the following choice.]
[Option 1: Stop your advancement to the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, go to the Purple Heaven Palace to apologize to Hongjun in person, and you will be rewarded with the God-Slaying Spear.]
[Option Two: Never compromise, determined to reach the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, reward: one fragment of a law.]
