Take It If I Give It To You, Don't Be Ungrateful

Yuanshi shouted coldly, showing no sign of feeling guilty even though he was in the wrong.

He never expected that Yuanfeng was just one step away from breaking through to the Primordial Origin.

Although he was wrong, given Yuanshi's pride, he naturally wouldn't apologize to Yuanfeng.

In his eyes, these were all things like "born from wet eggs, covered in fur and horns," making it impossible for him to admit his mistakes.

"Yuanfeng, my junior brother was rude. Please calm down. As long as you absorb this Primordial Violet Qi, it won't be long before you become Primordial Origin Sage."

"Your own arduous cultivation does not necessarily guarantee the attainment of Primordial Origin; I hope you understand this."

Laozi spoke helplessly, throwing the Yuanshi Primordial Violet Qi's hand into the depths of the volcano, as if he were bestowing a gift or rewarding someone, acting as if it were perfectly natural.

In their view, even the Ancestral Dragon succumbed to the temptation of becoming a saint, so Yuanfeng was no exception.

Yuanfeng claims he's about to attain sainthood, but the reality is still uncertain.

It's not a done deal.

But this Primordial Violet Qi is different. Once absorbed, everything will be arranged perfectly by the Dao Ancestor, and becoming a saint is inevitable.

"Get out! I attained enlightenment through my own efforts; why should I rely on external forces to become a saint like you?"

Yuanfeng let out a long howl and coldly shouted, causing the South Ablaze Volcano to erupt and blast away the falling Primordial Violet Qi.

"I don't care about the Primordial Violet Qi, I just want you all to die!"

The vast flames transformed into a giant hand, blotting out the sky and striking towards Laozi and Yuanshi.

At this moment, Yuanfeng was filled with endless rage and only wanted to kill Laozi and Yuanshi. She could have attained the Primordial Origin and Xiao Yao between heaven and earth.

Not only was she interrupted, but she was also subjected to arrogant remarks and belittled. The mere wisp of Primordial Violet Qi seemed more like a handout. How could anyone not be furious?

"Stubborn to the end, it seems the only way is to beat you awake!"

Yuanshi let out a cold shout, waved his sleeve, and the Qiankun resonated with him, shattering the giant palm of divine fire. Its remaining power continued to suppress it.

"Boom!"

The South Ablaze Volcano trembled violently, seemingly on the verge of collapse. Under this terrifying force, Yuanfeng let out a mournful cry.

"Let me teach you a lesson. You can't even withstand a casual strike from me, yet you dare to boast about proving yourself?"

"Nonsense, utterly ridiculous."

Yuanshi put his hands behind his back and coldly rebuked him. He wasn't serious at all, afraid that he would be unable to answer if he beat Yuanfeng to death, after all, this was the person personally selected by the Dao Ancestor.

These words enraged Yuanfeng even more, her phoenix eyes flashing with terrifying fury and boundless killing intent.

Such shameless words almost made her explode with anger.

Is this something Sage could say?

"Yuanshi bastard, I'll fight you to the death!" Yuanfeng shouted, bursting out from the depths of the volcano, her body covered in raging flames that burned the sky, like a red sun, releasing a terrifying killing intent.

"You're courting death!" Yuanshi frowned, genuinely enraged. This wretched creature was utterly ungrateful, still making trouble for no reason!

"Junior brother, don't harm her!" Laozi sensed the killing intent emanating from Yuanshi and warned him.

"Don't worry, since she's not convinced, I'll beat her into submission. I won't kill her!" Yuanshi said with a smile, raising his hand to casually strike Yuanfeng.

They easily slapped Yuanfeng back.

The two sides are simply not on the same level; the gap is too vast and immeasurable.

Throughout the world, all the great gods watched this scene with expressions of astonishment and bewilderment.

What did they hear?

The Sage wanted to give Yuanfeng the Primordial Violet Qi, but Yuanfeng refused, leading to a fierce battle between them.

Is this for real?

Instantly, the powerful figures cried out in regret: Give it to me! I'll take it with my face!

"Yuanfeng has gone mad after his rebirth. He even rejected the Primordial Violet Qi that was offered to him. He's incredibly foolish, a stubborn old man from the old days."

"She doesn't even want the Primordial Violet Qi? Doesn't she know what that means?"

"Perhaps they have been asleep for too long and have fallen behind the times, yet they still ridiculously believe that they can break through the shackles and attain the Primordial Origin Dao through their own efforts?"

"Those who can achieve this are few and far between since the beginning of time!" a powerful figure sneered, feeling that Yuanfeng was simply indulging in wishful thinking.

Wouldn't it be better to just accept the Primordial Violet Qi honestly?

This is a divine object that countless living beings have dreamed of!

"It's a pity, this time they've angered Sage, and their very survival might be in question," a powerful figure sighed, a sneer on his face.

I think Yuanfeng completely courted death and doesn't deserve any sympathy.

The Primordial Violet Qi, was treated as worthless by Yuanfeng. If you don't die, who will?

From the East Sea Eye, the Ancestral Dragon gazed at this scene from afar and shook his head helplessly. Yuanfeng was just too headstrong, lacking the ability to advance or retreat, or to be tactful.

To rebel against the Sage at this time is tantamount to squandering our last chance of survival.

It's not easy to get this far, why make things harder on yourself?

Ancestral Dragon thought to himself, feeling rather fortunate. If he had refused earlier, his fate might have been even worse than Yuanfeng's. He clearly had a chance to become a saint, so why not give it a try?

At this moment, Ancestral Dragon thought that Yuanfeng was being too foolish and couldn't grasp the situation.

Ultimately, it's probably because they've been asleep for too long and their minds aren't clear anymore.

Above the clouds in the Eastern Wasteland, Jieyin, with halos Zhun Ti their heads and radiating peaceful light, were supervising their disciples as they engaged in friendly exchanges with beings other than Human Race, spreading their teachings and bestowing blessings.

Everything went very smoothly.

Human Race is hopeless and incapable of being helped; therefore, we should support all the Ten Thousand Races of the Primordial World.

"I never imagined that Ancestral Dragon and Yuanfeng would be the Sage personally chosen by our teacher. Putting everything else aside, these two wretches do indeed have the potential to become saints."

"Once the final two saints are established, it will be time to take action against the Human Race. We will annihilate Human Race with swift and decisive measures!"

Zhun Ti said with murderous intent, "If we can't have it, we'll destroy it. From beginning to end, they haven't gained a single benefit from the Human Race."

Jieyin slightly, gazing at the vast expanse of land, and said softly, "A calamity is about to begin..."

Meanwhile, in the central training ground of Penglai Immortal Island, Ling Xiao sat quietly cross-legged, slowly opening his eyes and gazing towards the direction of the South Ablaze Volcano...

Suddenly, a familiar voice echoed in my mind.

[Yuanfeng is in trouble. Please make a choice, host.]

[Option 1: Help them and prevent their subjugation; reward: Bitter Bamboo, Ten Innate Spiritual Roots!]

[Option Two: Ignore the issue and proceed cautiously; reward: one top -Innate Supreme Treasure.]

The system started again the moment Ling Xiao looked at the South Ablaze Volcano, which made him chuckle; the timing was quite opportune.

It didn't happen earlier or later; it just happened right when he started paying attention to the matter.

At this moment, Ling Xiao gained a deeper understanding of the system's quirks.

He felt he could exploit this to frequently trigger choices, get free rewards, and squeeze every last drop out of the system.

However, he had to take care of important business first.

"System, I choose option one."
