Heavenly Dao Hongjun spoke with a calm expression.
Huang had certainly done much for the Human Race!
But he lacked one crucial thing.
His identity!
Why had the Great Dao designated Laozi as the future leader of the Human Sect?
Because of his Father God, Pangu, who had died so long ago.
When Pangu split open the heavens, he had already done what needed to be done.

"Those Daos may not suit the Human Race!"
"The Dao you pass on must be a cultivation path perfectly
