When they had shared the same branch, the Three Sages' fortunes had been linked, and everything had naturally gone their way.
Now that they had split apart, without one Sage's fortune supporting them, they were weakened by who knew how much compared to before!
Within Wa Huang Palace.
Nuwa wore a complicated expression as she looked toward Kunlun Mountain.
"The Two Sages of the West thought there would be changes, yet they supported them until now... You brothers truly ended up at this point."
She sighed softly and ultimately let it go.
After all, it was someone else's family affair.
Her own family affairs had yet to be settled.
"By my reckoning, my brother's time of reincarnation is near."
"If Taiqing keeps his promise and grants him the position of Human Emperor, I will let the matter rest. Otherwise, do not blame me for fighting you!"
Beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens.
Within Purple Cloud Palace.
Hongjun opened his eyes and watched the changes in the Primordial World.
"The Three Pure Ones have split apart..."
"The Earthly Dao has revived. Houtu and Styx have attained the Dao..."
"The Primordial World has been quite lively lately."
He murmured to himself before issuing an order.
The gatekeeping attendants, Haotian and Jade Pond, hurried inside and prostrated themselves before him.
Hongjun nodded. "Haotian, the Demon Race Heavenly Court has been destroyed, but the duty of governing the heavens and observing the Primordial World cannot remain vacant. Are you willing to take charge of the Heavenly Court and observe all living beings on my behalf?"
Haotian's body trembled, unable to conceal his excitement.
He had waited for this moment for a very long time!
"Reporting to Master, I am willing to follow you through fire and water!"
Hongjun turned his gaze toward Jade Pond.
