Arrangements for the Impending Tribulation
"If I relinquish control of the Heavenly Dao, you will lift my curse?" The Heavenly Dao was overjoyed. Qing Xuanzi was already difficult to deal with, and now that its foundation was gone, this was a good thing.
"Yes, but I don't trust you. You know the Great Curse Technique includes Blood Curse. After abandoning the Heavenly Dao, you know what to do."
Heaven only pondered for a moment before agreeing.
He had no choice but to agree; otherwise, once Qing Xuanzi became stronger, he could completely strip away his Heavenly Dao Source.
When that time comes, it will be my death day.
Tiandao, oh no, now it should be said that he is Qi Nong, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Dao Sect.
After agreeing to Qing Xuanzi's conditions, Qi Nong readily handed over control of the Heavenly Dao Source.
At the same time, he swore Blood Curse: "I will never again invade the Heavenly Dao Source, or my soul will be scattered and my true spirit will be destroyed."
Upon hearing Qi Nong's vow, Qing Xuanzi smiled and said, "Sect Master Qi, you have already been marked with the mark of the Primordial World. In the future, when these beings are reincarnated, you will still be the one to receive them back to the Heavenly Dao Sect, and that will settle this matter. However, the future advancement of the Primordial World will require your continued assistance."
"Haha, Fellow Qing Xuanzi Primordial World is so straightforward. I will do my best regarding the advancement of the Great Dao World. After all, if the Primordial World evolves into a Great Dao World, it will be able to break free from half of the control of the Heavenly Dao Sect in the Great Dao Tribulation Great World."
Qing Xuanzi learned from Qi Nong that the ancient world was actually Dao Tribulation World.
He then inquired in detail about the Dao Tribulation World.
As the Sect Master the Heavenly Dao Sect, who had already been marked by the Primordial World, Qi Nong naturally spoke frankly and without reservation.
This also allowed Qing Xuanzi to fully understand the Dao Tribulation World, laying the foundation for him to completely break free from the control of that world in the future.
After Qi Nong left, Qing Xuanzi smiled and said to the Destiny Demon God, "The Heavenly Dao Space is now without a master. You must take over as soon as possible to avoid causing trouble."
"Thank you, Celestial Venerable Qing Xuanzi. I will immediately return to the Heavenly Dao Space and regain control of its operation," Destiny replied excitedly. He knew that the Heavenly Dao would eventually return to his hands, but he did not expect it to return in just over 100,000 years.
Hehe, it wasn't a waste to cling to Qing Xuanzi's coattails.
After the Destiny Demon God left, Qing Xuanzi said to the Heavenly Dao Child that had been born earlier, "Now that Destiny controls the Heavenly Dao, you still control a glimmer of hope under the Heavenly Dao. You can reincarnate as any race in the Primordial World. What do you say, are you going or not?"
Before the Heavenly Dao Child could answer, Hongjun said to it, "Go. You currently only possess a true spirit, lacking sufficient intelligence. After a hundred reincarnations, you can regain control of the sliver of life under the Heavenly Dao."
The Heavenly Dao Child is not very intelligent to begin with, and it is extremely dependent on Qing Xuanzi and Hongjun. It usually listens to what the two of them say.
Nodding, a wisp of spiritual light flew towards the Land of Reincarnation.
"Alright, the Heavenly Dao problem is solved. Now it's time to resolve the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation. My three senior brothers, I entrust the task of sending them to reincarnation to you."
"Junior brother, don't worry. They only have three Grand Ultimate. Although there are quite a few Grand Ultimate Great Luo, the three sects also have a considerable number of Grand Ultimate Great Luo Three Sects Disciples. We'll handle this."
Laozi stood up, nodded, and led Yuanshi and Tongtian back to gather the Three Sects Disciples for battle.
"Nüwa Sister Nuwa, the revival of humanity is imminent. I predict that the completion of the Investiture of the Gods will mark the time of this revival. At that time, I request that Nüwa Sister Nuwa assume the role of spokesperson for humanity."
Nüwa asked curiously, "Qing Xuanzi, why don't you take on this role yourself? Are you trying to shirk your responsibilities?"
"Nüwa Sister Nuwa, it's not that I want to slack off this time, but I am a human, and humanity is based on humanity. If I were to represent humanity, it might be detrimental to other beings in the Primordial World, and they would never choose me as their representative. If I were to force it, it might destroy humanity."
After listening, Hongjun found the words reasonable and analyzed, "What Qing Xuanzi said is probably true. The human way is characterized by change, which is the manifestation of the will of all living beings in the Primordial World. Although the human race is the foundation, the beings of other races must also be taken into consideration. This is the essence of impartiality."
"Then why me? Just because the human race was created by me?" Nüwa's beautiful eyes widened as she stared blankly.
"Nüwa Sister Nuwa, indeed, the fact that the human race originated from you is the biggest reason. Another reason is that your main cultivation is creation, and creation means change, which is most in line with the way of humanity."
Qing Xuanzi then explained.
"Okay, what preparations do I need to make?"
"No preparation is needed. Simply release your aura of creation when you sense the will of humanity."
Nüwa nodded and accepted Qing Xuanzi's arrangement.
Finally, Qing Xuanzi looked at Hongjun with a solemn expression and said, "With the Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods over and the three paths emerging simultaneously, another Primordial World needs time, so Master, your task is the most important. The Creation Jade Butterfly is in your hands. If anything changes, immediately open the barrier to protect the Primordial World and buy Primordial World some time."
Hongjun pondered for a moment and said, "You mean, the Great Tribulation originated from Chaos?"
"Yes, to be specific, it comes from the Heavens Chaos."
"Will beings from beyond Chaos invade?"
"Yes, when all three emerge simultaneously, the Great Dao's barrier is at its weakest. Only then is it the best time for the Heavens Chaos to invade."
Hongjun finally understood why Qing Xuanzi hadn't revived humanity earlier; it turned out he was afraid the Primordial World's foundation wasn't strong enough.
He now believes that the primordial Primordial World is sufficient to fight off external enemies, which is why he has decided to revive humanity.
Hongjun nodded and said, "It's alright, I have that much ability, but it's probably difficult for you."
Nüwa was puzzled after hearing Hongjun's words. There was no Qing Xuanzi task in the Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods, nor in the Qing Xuanzi Path.
Even if he delays, it won't affect Qing Xuanzi's mission. What's so difficult about it?
Hongjun, however, understood perfectly. He began to explain to Nüwa, "Actually, Qing Xuanzi hadn't finished explaining. The revival of humanity not only involves the simultaneous emergence of the three paths, which weakens the Great Dao barrier, but it also attracts the attention of the Dao Tribulation World."
"Why?" Nüwa was completely baffled.
"Because the human way is the way of change, and it is the way of all living beings, the beings in the Dao Tribulation World are also living beings, they will definitely sense it. Qing Xuanzi should be preparing to deal with their schemes."
"Is that so, Junior Brother?"
Qing Xuanzi nodded, replying helplessly, "Yes, it was originally just a possibility, but now that Qi Nong has the Primordial World Mark, while it benefits the Primordial World, it also gives the Dao Tribulation World an opportunity to exploit."
Nüwa fell silent. It turned out that Qing Xuanzi had been silently bearing the most dangerous burdens all along.
The Primordial World owes a debt to him.
Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Junior brother, be careful. If things really can't be done, then just let it go. We'll face whatever happens together." Before leaving, Nüwa suddenly made a sentimental gesture, almost causing Qing Xuanzi to strain his old back.
Hongjun was the last to leave. He glanced at Qing Xuanzi silently, then left without saying a word.
Seeing that everything was arranged, Qing Xuanzi sat down cross-legged and carefully considered the possible measures for the Dao Tribulation World.
He firmly believed that the Dao Tribulation World would not let such a good opportunity pass by.
They will definitely take action, but what exactly they will do? Qing Xuanzi had no idea for the time being.
All he could do was wait and improvise.
He disliked this feeling intensely because it represented passivity and a loss of control.
