Hongjun Secretly Gives Them a Boost While Preaching; the Heavenly Dao Maintains Order Through Balance

But unfortunately, whether in the future or in Hongjun's time, prodigies had always existed.

The most terrifying thing was that this was the Primordial World, where prodigies emerged one after another.

For example, the vast majority of Innate Demon Gods understood at most one percent of what they heard.
