Primordial World: I, Emperor Jun, Only Want to Build the Primordial World

Dao Ancestor Hongjun spoke.

"Good!"

"Agreed!"

"Good!"

The other three Ancestors all nodded.

The Four Ancestors exchanged glances, then linked their minds to the Heavenly Dao.

In an instant, the great trend of the Heavenly Dao underwent an earth-shaking transformation, though the future remained unfathomably mysterious.

On Mount Sumeru, Luo Hou, seated upon his throne, suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha, good. Hongjun, Inversion, Yin Yang, Heaven and Earth, I'll be waiting for you at Mount Sumeru. Hahaha..."

Luo Hou made no effort to conceal his arrogant attitude, transmitting it directly through the Heavenly Dao to the Four Ancestors, including Hongjun.

Hongjun wore a gentle expression, his brows lowered as though he had not heard Luo Hou's words.

Heaven and Earth remained calm and said evenly, "Luo Hou, the victor has yet to be decided!"

Yin Yang and Inversion, however, looked somewhat angry, enraged by Luo Hou's brazen attitude.

It was not only Luo Hou and the other Ancestors who noticed this change. The Primordial Golden Immortals throughout the Primordial World also sensed the shift in the Heavenly Dao, though they did not know the reason behind it.

However, they could feel that the Karmic Luck of the Demon Path seemed to be rising and flourishing.

Yet this feeling did not sit well with them. It felt like pouring oil onto a raging fire, like a final blaze before extinction.

They knew that Luo Hou's challenge was very likely the final battle of the Dao-Devil Conflict.

The Grand Luo Golden Immortals also felt something, but their perception was far more indistinct. They tried to divine the future, yet ultimately gained no results.

As for the beings below the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm, only Emperor Jun sensed anything. The rest felt nothing at all.

"Fellow Daoist Inversion, Fellow Daoist Yin Yang, do not be angered. In three thousand years, we will settle matters with Luo Hou."

Ancestor Qiankun consoled them.

"Fellow Daoist Heaven and Earth is right. The two of you need not be angry."

Hongjun echoed him, though inwardly he thought, The influence of the Karmic Tribulation Qi is indeed severe. Given these two Fellow Daoists' usual composure, they should not have been so angered by Luo Hou's arrogance.

At that moment, Hongjun could not help feeling fortunate that he possessed a Primordial Treasure—the incomplete Jade Plate of Creation.

This Primordial Treasure could not only help him comprehend the Dao, but also ensure that he would not be affected by Karmic Tribulation Qi.

After a while, Ancestor Diandao and Ancestor Yinyang finally calmed down.

"There is one more matter that requires all of you to make a decision."

Seeing that the two had regained their composure, Hongjun spoke with a smile.

"What matter?"

Ancestor Yinyang asked.

Ancestor Qiankun and Ancestor Diandao were equally curious. What could be so important that it required them to decide once more?

"I was just considering something. What if Fellow Daoist Luo Hou uses the opportunity of challenging us to have the Demon Path forces fiercely attack the beings of the Eastern Primordial Desolation? What should we do then?"

Ancestor Yinyang did not care much about this and said casually, "It is of no concern. Our decisive battle with Luo Hou is what matters. So long as we win, even if the entire Eastern Primordial Desolation falls, it will still be a victory for the Dao."

Ancestor Diandao said nothing, instead pondering the meaning behind Hongjun's words.

"That's not right!"

Ancestor Qiankun suddenly said.

"What isn't right?"

Ancestor Yinyang looked at Ancestor Qiankun with some impatience.

He felt that everyone was acting strangely today. It was only Luo Hou's challenge—why had it made them all so nervous?

"The Eastern Primordial Desolation cannot fall. We must defend it, refusing to yield even an inch. If possible, we must even launch a counterattack."

Ancestor Qiankun said.

His words left both Ancestor Diandao and Ancestor Yinyang puzzled, and they turned to look at Ancestor Qiankun.

Ancestor Qiankun did not directly answer their doubts. Instead, he turned his gaze toward Hongjun.

After all, Fellow Daoist Hongjun had been the first to notice this issue, so it was more appropriate for Hongjun to explain it himself.

Seeing this, Ancestor Diandao and Ancestor Yinyang also looked toward Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Hongjun did not keep them in suspense and said directly, "It seems the two of you have forgotten what our Dao-Devil Conflict with Luo Hou is for."

For what?

Naturally, it was for the Karmic Luck of the Primordial World.

Inversion and Yin Yang immediately looked enlightened.

"It seems the two of you understand now. Our battle with Luo Hou will not be brief. We absolutely cannot allow the Karmic Luck of the Demon Path to increase any further, or it will make things more difficult for us."

Inversion and Yin Yang nodded, indicating that they understood.

"Indeed. The Karmic Luck of the Eastern Primordial Desolation is not only what Luo Hou seeks to obtain; it is also part of our foundation. We must defend it."

Ancestor Qiankun added.

"Otherwise, Luo Hou's strength will grow while ours declines. That would be dangerous."

Inversion and Yin Yang's expressions became incomparably solemn.

Emperor Jun returned to the Eastern Primordial Desolation Base Camp, continuously replaying the events from not long ago in his mind.

Luo Hou was going to face the Four Ancestors at Mount Sumeru with the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.

Was this not the final battle of the Dao-Devil Conflict?

In this war, eight or nine out of every ten beings of the Primordial World in this era would perish, while the Western Primordial Desolation would suffer even more miserably.

After this battle, the Western Primordial Desolation, once comparable to the Eastern Primordial Desolation, would instantly become utterly impoverished.

The Spiritual Veins would explode, the Earth Veins would fall into chaos, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots would be unable to grow, and Primordial Spiritual Energy would become exceedingly thin.

Thinking of this, Emperor Jun felt that Zhun Ti and Jie Yin from the later legends had not merely been crying poverty. They truly were poor.

However, these matters had little to do with Emperor Jun. After all, he was only a Golden Immortal at present. At most, he could remind Wangshu, who was relatively close to him, to be more careful.

As for anything more, there was nothing he could do.

The entire Primordial World was lively now. Whether in the Eastern Primordial Desolation or the Western Primordial Desolation, everyone was awaiting the Four Ancestors' response.

Would they accept Luo Hou's challenge or not?

The beings at the Eastern Primordial Desolation Base Camp were also discussing this matter, and some even began arguing over it.

Naturally, Emperor Jun did not take part. With memories from a later age, he already knew the outcome.

He was currently sorting through the gains he had made over the years. He had already begun preparing to break through into the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Given his current circumstances, he could have broken through long ago. He had merely delayed it temporarily in order to seek his own Dao path.

But with a great battle coming in three thousand years, he had no choice but to break through.

As for his Dao path, he could only seek it later.

Emperor Jun found this regrettable, but he did not feel any remorse.

This was because finding one's own Dao path as a Golden Immortal differed from finding it as a Grand Luo Golden Immortal.

If a Golden Immortal found their own Dao path before entering the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm, they would walk more steadily and more quickly afterward, since their goal would already lie before them.

But as a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, one would see far more, and it would be easier to lose one's direction and waste time for nothing.

Yet before Emperor Jun could enter seclusion to break through to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm, the Four Ancestors' response finally arrived.

The Four Ancestors had accepted Luo Hou's challenge.

Emperor Jun was not surprised by this. It was what he had expected.

However, another piece of news accompanied this announcement, and this was what truly made Emperor Jun lose his composure.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Ancestor Diandao, Ancestor Qiankun, and Ancestor Yinyang would actually preach the Dao for a thousand years at the Eastern Primordial Desolation Base Camp three hundred years from now. Any being from the Eastern Primordial Desolation could attend.

Preach the Dao?

Had this not only become popular after Hongjun attained sainthood?

Why had it appeared now?

However, Emperor Jun quickly adjusted his state of mind. He did not panic simply because something had occurred that lay beyond his memories.

There were too many secrets in the Primordial World. If he panicked whenever he encountered one, what Dao path could he possibly pursue?

Moreover, Emperor Jun truly considered this a good thing.

He had originally been about to prepare for his breakthrough into the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm, but now that the Four Ancestors would preach the Dao for a thousand years, he felt he could wait a little longer.
