"Hongjun!"
In the Celestial Court of the Great Thousand World, Qin Shujian withdrew his consciousness from his Inner World, and his tightly closed eyes snapped open.
At that instant.
The Inner Hall of the Heavenly Palace seemed to grow much brighter.
Because he was connected to his incarnation, he received everything that happened in the Primordial World in real time.
When Hongjun approached his world incarnation.
Qin Shujian received the news.
Hongjun!
One of the supreme Ancient Gods of the first era.
He had met Hongjun once toward the end of the third era.
But not long afterward, the universe came to its end.
At that time, Hongjun, like the Grand Pure Dao Venerable, had ventured alone into reality.
Qin Shujian had always thought he had perished, never imagining that he had survived all along.
"That makes sense—"
"The Grand Pure Dao Venerable stood at the very pinnacle. As the master of such a powerhouse, how could Hongjun have perished so easily?"
He shook his head slightly.
He came to terms with the fact that Hongjun was still alive.
Moreover, he could tell.
Hongjun had not reincarnated from his Dao Fruit form like the Blade Master and Niu Dali. Rather, he seemed to have survived to this day in his original body.
In other words.
Hongjun still retained strength at the Dao Fruit Level, and might even retain the strength he had possessed at his peak as an Ancient God.
"Whew!"
Thinking of how powerful the Ancient Gods were, Qin Shujian felt some pressure.
Fortunately.
He had already broken through to the Dao Fruit Level, advancing through the Heaven-Evolving Path. His strength completely surpassed his peak in the third era, and he was confident he could hold his own even against the Ancient Gods of the first era.
With that
