"Spreading the Dao!"
Qin Shujian had seen what happened in the Purple Heaven Sea Region, but he had no intention of interfering.
There was no helping it.
Since he had given the sea region to Hongjun, he would let him do as he pleased.
Heavenly Pattern Island had few inhabitants, nowhere near the Myriad Races under his own rule.

Once he achieved Dao Integration, his strength would allow him to sweep aside the vast majority
