Could they fuse? What kind of bullshit question was that? Both of them had emerged from the Great Dao, so why couldn't they?

The Great Dao had never calculated this change, nor could it have imagined it. Qin Fen and Hongjun were mortal enemies. It had spent countless years laying the groundwork; Hongjun hated Qin Fen to the bone. On top of that, it had targeted Hongjun from the very beginning. Qin Fen being unharmed was not because it could not control the two of them—it had all been an act.
It was to provoke Hongjun's nerves, make him feel it was unfair, make him hate Qin Fen more and more, so he would never stand on the same side as him.
