Eagle Sauce Nation had dominated the National Destiny Trial rankings for many consecutive rounds.

By continuously topping the rankings, Eagle Sauce Nation had received an enormous number of ultimate rewards.

For example, after winning that round of National Destiny Training three years ago, they had obtained an extremely precious and powerful item.

It could recall contestants already undergoing National Destiny Training and redeploy them into a new world to participate in the National Destiny Training rankings once more!

Although they had acquired this powerful item three years ago, Eagle Sauce Nation had never considered using it.

On one hand, using this item came at an immense cost. It would extract a large portion of the national destiny from the country behind its user!

Even with Eagle Sauce Nation's deep reserves of national destiny, using such an item would severely drain their vitality!

On the other hand, they had never believed any country could force them to use such a powerful item.

Now, crushed so badly by Li Yi in the National Destiny Trial that they could barely breathe, Eagle Sauce Nation finally remembered that they still possessed such an item!

As they listened to the intelligence committee member relay the experts' analysis, looks of sudden realization appeared on everyone's faces.

"That's right! With Dragon Nation's national destiny, what remarkable talent could Li Yi possibly have obtained in the Primordial World? He was merely lucky enough to survive in that terrifying world!"

"No wonder his cultivation had never improved. Most likely, he knew his talent was terrible, so he simply found somewhere to hide!"

"With Eagle Sauce Nation's national destiny, once our super geniuses enter that world, they will definitely obtain talents far surpassing Li Yi's! Perhaps they can recover all the cultivation they fell behind in within a single day. In three Blue Star days, they can reach the top of the Primordial World!"

In just a few seconds, the Eagle Sauce Nation legislators, who had been somewhat dejected and despairing over the National Destiny Training rankings, regained their usual arrogance!

This explained why Li Yi's cultivation had been stuck in place!

It was absolutely not because he was one of the top experts in the Primordial World!

It was only because his talent was poor, and he did not dare venture out to seek opportunities, so his cultivation had stagnated!

Li Yi was not strong at all. The truly powerful thing was that Primordial World that had suddenly appeared!

Li Yi had merely been lucky enough to hide and survive in the Primordial World!

If they used that special item to recall super geniuses like Serafino and redeploy them, they might fall behind at first, but with Serafino's talent, he could likely catch up within one Blue Star day!

Eagle Sauce Nation's Speaker, Robert, nodded slightly. He was very tempted by the proposal, though he still had some concerns.

"This proposal is excellent! But the cost of using that item is too great. It will directly extract half of Eagle Sauce Nation's national destiny."

"A sudden drop of so much national destiny would have an enormous impact on Eagle Sauce Nation!"

Even a top powerhouse like Eagle Sauce Nation could not withstand having half its national destiny extracted in an instant!

The drop in cultivation among their domestic experts would be a minor matter. The talents their super geniuses received upon entering the new world would also weaken considerably!

Hawk nodded slightly, the smile still on his face. The think tank had clearly considered this point in advance.

"Mr. Speaker, the think tank's academicians have already considered that as well!"

"They suggest opening authorization to use this item to other powerful nations as well, excluding Dragon Nation."

"In other words, we will gather nine more countries to use this item alongside us!"

"That way, only 5% of our national destiny will be extracted! The impact on Eagle Sauce Nation's national destiny will be reduced to the minimum!"

"Once Serafino and the others descend into the Primordial World, they will still be super geniuses far superior to everyone else!"

At this point, Hawk could not help lifting his chin.

This was not blind arrogance, but a mixture of years of experience and pride!

If everyone lost 5%, Eagle Sauce Nation's national destiny would still be the strongest, even far surpassing second-ranked Cherry Blossom Nation!

Their national destiny was formidable, so the talents they would obtain after descending would remain formidable!

Since Eagle Sauce Nation dared invite nine other countries to activate this item together, it naturally possessed absolute confidence!

Upon hearing this, Robert nodded slightly and immediately gave the order without hesitation.

"Good! You will take the lead on this matter!"

"Use that item as soon as possible to recall Serafino and the other geniuses."

"In the next day's training rankings, I want to see Eagle Sauce Nation return to the top of the list!"

"Let those foolish Dragon Nation people understand that what is strong is the Primordial World, not that so-called super genius Li Yi..."

Primordial World, Purple Cloud Palace.

Hongjun sat high upon the jade platform. Below him, Yuanshi and the other three had been thoroughly deceived by his words.

Hongjun took the opportunity to distribute several Innate Spiritual Treasures. They served both as gifts for taking them as disciples and as a means of soothing his disciples' hearts.

Naturally, they could not compare to those from the original timeline.

In the original timeline, he had monopolized the Demon Calamity rewards and achieved sainthood through Merit!

With abundant treasures in hand and sufficient strength, he was about to merge with the Heavenly Dao. Those supreme treasures had already become useless to him.

But because of Li Yi's involvement, he did not have many supreme treasures himself, and he was only a Peak Quasi-Saint. Naturally, he could not be generous when distributing treasures!

Laozi and Yuanshi each received a Supreme-grade Innate Spirit Treasure. Of course, they were the lowest quality among Supreme-grade Innate Spirit Treasures.

Even so, Hongjun felt a pang of pain when he handed them out.

If Laozi and Yuanshi had not been Pangu Orthodox, bearing great karmic ties and seemingly personally "designated" by the Heavenly Dao to become Heavenly Dao Sages, he truly would have been reluctant to part with them.

As for Zhunti and Jieyin, he merely bestowed each of them with a High-grade Innate Spirit Treasure.

After hastily distributing the treasures, Hongjun did not linger and vanished from atop the jade platform.

Yuanshi, Laozi, Zhunti, and Jieyin exchanged formal greetings before departing separately.

After Kunpeng finished listening to the Dao, he felt a vague but persistent sense of unease.

As one of the Primordial World's most seasoned schemers, once Kunpeng sensed danger, he immediately chose to change his route.

He abandoned the idea of returning directly to the North Sea and chose to head west first, making a detour before returning.

However, Yuanshi had already secretly placed a mark on him. No matter how Kunpeng altered his route, Yuanshi could always pinpoint his location precisely.

At last, after fleeing for decades, Kunpeng was blocked above a mountain range by Yuanshi's Kind Corpse and Laozi's Kind Corpse.

Looking at Yuanshi's Kind Corpse calmly watching him from the distant mountaintop, as though he were already dead,

then at the undisguised Quasi-Saint aura emanating from Yuanshi, Kunpeng's smile stiffened, becoming even uglier than a grimace.

"Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, it's a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!"

Even as he begged for mercy, Kunpeng was already cursing Yuanshi viciously in his heart!

No wonder he had vaguely sensed something wrong back then. Those two Supreme Unity Golden Immortals had actually been the incarnations of Yuanshi and Laozi? How shameless!

Yuanshi's expression did not change in the slightest. As he looked at Kunpeng, he already regarded him as a dead man!

On one hand, it was naturally because Kunpeng had berated him on Yingzhou Island.

On the other hand... he did not entirely believe Hongjun's words either. But once he had boarded this pirate ship, he could only grit his teeth and see it through to the end.

All his resentment and frustration transformed into killing intent toward Kunpeng at this very moment.
