Unfortunately, the changes Xu Tong had brought about had caused countless problems in Hongjun's Dao Integration.

To succeed in Dao Integration, Hongjun had long since stopped caring about his dignity as the Dao Ancestor.

If he continued to worry about such things, he might truly lose any chance of completing his Dao Integration.

"So what exactly was Hongjun after?"

Nuwa's face was filled with bewilderment.

Although Xu Tong had told Nuwa about the Investiture Calamity before, once she learned that Fuxi had become the Lord of the Heavenly Court, she had assumed the matter was over.

After all, Hongjun had personally witnessed Fuxi becoming the Lord of the Heavenly Court.

Nuwa had been ready for battle, but Hongjun had merely taken a look before turning and leaving. Only then had she breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, if she had fallen out with Hongjun at that point, she would have had no way to deal with him. The only thing that might have given him pause was the fear of shattering the heavens and earth of the Primordial World.

Fortunately, Hongjun had shown no intention of making a move back then.

When Hongjun summoned her, Nuwa had been terribly nervous. But after hearing what he had to say, she had never connected it to the Investiture Calamity.

"Under our plans, the Investiture Calamity has now changed completely."

"The Heavenly Court can't withstand any more upheaval. No matter how unwilling Hongjun is, he can only acknowledge Fuxi as the Lord of the Heavenly Court."

"So Hongjun has been forced to turn his gaze toward the Underworld."

"Although the Heavenly Court already has enough personnel, the Underworld's ranks are still far from complete."

As Xu Tong spoke, a look of admiration appeared on his face despite himself.
