I Have No Interest in the Calamity Cycle!

No.

Something was very wrong!

After hearing Xi He and Chang Xi's questions, Dan Jing furrowed his brow, instinctively feeling that something was the slightest bit off!

His eyes narrowed.

Countless thoughts churned through Dan Jing's mind, and he keenly sensed the little schemes in Xi He and Chang Xi's hearts.

Had these two sisters mistaken him for one of the protagonists of the Calamity Cycle?

They definitely had!

Otherwise, their expressions and questions would not have been so strange!

Therefore.

Xi He's question had to be answered properly, or there might be no small trouble later on!

It was not difficult for Dan Jing to think of this.

At the very beginning.

After the Sage's first sermon ended, the old Sage had already said:

"A new cycle begins, and all things are renewed. Heaven and Earth have rested and recuperated for long enough; chaos has already appeared in yin and yang, in heaven and earth!"

Between the lines, those words meant—

A new Calamity Cycle for Heaven and Earth was about to begin.

Now.

After Heaven and Earth had been peaceful for so long, descendants of the Pangu Orthodox Lineage had suddenly emerged!

And these descendants of the Pangu Orthodox Lineage—

Were domineering.

Overbearing.

Arrogant.

They looked down on everything beneath heaven!

They regarded the powerful beings of every faction in the Primordial World, and the countless races, as nothing more than grass and straw!

No matter who it was, no matter their cultivation, once all this information was linked together—

One could easily reach a conclusion—

One of the protagonists of the next great Calamity Cycle had already stepped forward on their own.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Witch Race were one of them!

And the other—

Was unknown!

At present.

Those with insight, the mighty experts, and the powerful beings throughout the Primordial World were likely all speculating over who the other protagonist of the Calamity Cycle would be.

And the range of possible targets was exceedingly narrow.

After all, judging by the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Witch Race, they were a whole pack of formidable figures.

There were not many powerful beings who could, and dared to, challenge them head-on!

They could be counted on one's fingers—

The Three Pure Ones of Kunlun Mountain, direct disciples of the Sage who also called themselves the "Pangu Orthodox Lineage," had enough weight, strength, and status to count as one possibility.

Nuwa, the Sage's final disciple from Fengqi Mountain, along with her brother Fuxi, barely qualified.

As for Jieyin and Zhunti, those two registered disciples of the Sage... there was no need to mention them!

Others included—

Kunpeng of the Northern Dark Sea, Styx Patriarch of the Endless Sea of Blood, Zhen Yuanzi, Red Cloud, and the rest; they all fell a little short!

As for Queen Mother of the West, the leader of the female immortals from Western Kunlun—

If Eastern King Gong, the leader of the male immortals, had not been slaughtered, perhaps the two together would have been worth watching!

But now that only Queen Mother of the West, the leader of the female immortals, remained—

She did not rank very highly either.

Of course.

When it came to combat power and sheer audacity, no one could ignore Dan Jing, now publicly acknowledged as the number one beneath the Sage Realm!

Yet most mighty experts, powerful beings, and people of insight had never considered that Dan Jing might be the other protagonist of the Calamity Cycle.

There was no other reason.

Dan Jing, this madman, was certainly strong—invincible, even.

But he was simply—

Too unhinged!

He had started with the leader of the male immortals at zero frames—killing him the instant he moved, without the slightest concern for consequences.

Among the old Sage's three direct disciples, one final disciple, and two registered disciples—

Dan Jing alone had chased down and beaten four of them, and they had been the four most valued by the Sage.

Among the renowned great divine abilities still alive, only the two Lunar Goddesses who had taken the initiative to show him goodwill and befriend him had not been beaten by him.

As for everyone else—

Who had not been knocked flat by the Chaos Bell's "Fortune Collision"?

Basically, everyone had been beaten by Dan Jing.

A fellow like that—

Aside from his strength, he had no connections, no patience, no logic. He could be said to be good for nothing!

You could ask him to fight, and he might be ferociously unstoppable, but asking him to build an enterprise? Better forget it!

No one would be so tired of living as to follow someone like him.

Besides.

A protagonist of the Calamity Cycle would also have to shoulder the heavy burden and responsibilities of Heaven and Earth!

Could you expect a wild, powerful, unhinged thrill-seeker to bear the great duty of the Calamity Cycle and fight the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Witch Race to the death?

That would only mean you were overthinking it!

Therefore.

Most people of insight and mighty experts in the Primordial World had not placed Dan Jing in the position of the other protagonist of the Calamity Cycle.

At most, they thought—

After the other protagonist of the Calamity Cycle emerged, they might spare no effort in trying to win over the number one beneath the Sage Realm.

After all, unhinged as he was, he was truly powerful!

Back to the point.

Having figured all this out, Dan Jing narrowed his eyes slightly and did not immediately answer Xi He and Chang Xi.

Dan Jing knew very well that, aside from Xi He and Chang Xi—

No one would think that a madman, lunatic, and thrill-seeker like him would become the other protagonist of the Calamity Cycle.

After all, the two sisters, Xi He and Chang Xi, had a natural filter when it came to him.

No one else had even the slightest bit of it!

After pondering for a moment.

Dan Jing spoke bluntly once more:

"I have no interest in the Calamity Cycle."

"Whatever the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Witch Race want to do to the Primordial World is none of my concern. I am even less likely to step in and fight them head-on."

"So—"

"Stop testing me back and forth. I will not, and cannot, become another protagonist of the Calamity Cycle!"

After a slight pause.

Dan Jing's expression turned solemn and serious:

"You two sisters should not think that I have some other plan, either. If I have something to say, I say it outright. I do not keep it bottled up inside."

"So—"

"Do not overthink it, and definitely do not assume you understand, then start making connections and stirring up trouble!"

It had to be made clear.

Dan Jing was truly very worried that Xi He and Chang Xi would imagine things, elevate him in their minds, and then silently pull off something huge for him.

When that time came—

He was afraid that even if he wanted to clean things up, he would be unable to do so.

So, while nothing had started yet.

He might as well directly cut off the possibility of Xi He and Chang Xi imagining things and elevating him in their minds.

He, Dan Jing, knew how to prepare for a rainy day. He possessed great wisdom too!

"..."

After hearing Dan Jing's words, surprise appeared in the eyes of both Xi He and Chang Xi.

To be honest—

Before coming here, they really had thought that Dan Jing was highly likely to be the other protagonist of the Calamity Cycle!

The reason was simple—

Dan Jing was strong, incredibly strong, strong in the literal sense.

He was even stronger than the literal sense of strong, stronger than even the part that exceeded that meaning.

He was so strong that he was stronger than the strength the two sisters could even imagine him possessing!

And the Primordial World—

Had always been tolerant toward the strong.

You said Dan Jing had offended nearly every powerful being?

So what?

If their skills were inferior and they got beaten up by Dan Jing, was there anything wrong with that?

This was not an era where the weak were automatically in the right!

Therefore.

Xi He and Chang Xi truly believed Dan Jing could do it!

But now that Dan Jing had spoken so righteously and made everything crystal clear, some of the thoughts in the sisters' hearts naturally faded away.

They had not cared much to begin with.

Even if Dan Jing did not become some protagonist of the Calamity Cycle, Dan Jing was still Dan Jing. It was all the same!

With that thought—

Xi He and Chang Xi naturally changed the subject and stopped asking Dan Jing about his views on the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Witch Race.

Even if, after the Calamity Cycle began in the future—

The land of the Primordial World was battered by the great war of the Calamity Cycle until all living things suffered and all creation withered, until its spiritual veins were severed, so what?

Dan Jing and the two sisters—

Lived in the starry sky!
