Hongjun's expression remained calm. "Why do you say that, Sage Houtu? This follows the Heavenly Dao. Even a Sage can hardly control it."
He did not deny it. After becoming a Sage, she could naturally perceive future events.
The fate of the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan was set.
But Houtu did not understand. They were all descendants of Pangu, so why did the Heavenly Dao target their Witch Clan?
Hongjun said, "All things in the Primordial World are descendants of Pangu."
The calamity was unavoidable.
In the end, only humanity could truly become the protagonists of the Primordial World.
Houtu remained silent.
Torn, she finally let out a deep sigh.
Did even Sages have moments of such helplessness?
"If I send the entire Witch Clan to the Underworld of reincarnation, can we avoid the calamity?"
Hongjun felt a headache coming on. Why was this child so bullheaded?
If the Witch Clan ran off, what would the Demon Clan left behind do?
Fight humanity?
What he wanted to see was both sides battered and broken.
Suddenly, Hongjun seemed to sense something and fell into thought.
"Na'er, you're amazing!"
By the river, Wan watched in shock as Gu Yuena killed an enormous wolf.
Even two or three tribespeople working together might not be able to deal with an ordinary wild beast.
Perhaps only the chief, the strongest in the tribe, could barely defeat one.
But Na'er had actually killed a wild beast all by herself.
"As expected of the shaman personally appointed by the Dragon King!"
"Na'er, you're incredible!"
Wan cheered her on from the side.
Gu Yuena merely nodded, then stared at the giant Primordial World wolf beneath her feet, deep in thought.
This beast had yet to awaken its intelligence and seemed to be one of the most ordinary wild beasts in the Primordial World.
Yet the strength within its body and its level of life were actually no lower than those of a top-tier Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast on the Douluo Continent.
Before human Soul Masters had Battle Armor and mechas, it had taken several Titled Douluos working together to deal with a single Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
Such beasts had also awakened their intelligence and could even take human form.
Yet in the Primordial World, they seemed no different from wild beasts by the roadside.
Wasn't this Primordial World Continent a little too far beyond the standard?
She found it hard to accept. Why was the Douluo Continent so bottom-tier?
"Isn't this world's standing a little too high?"
Why was the Douluo Continent's standing so low?
Had something gone wrong somewhere?
Now, she was not only cultivating the Ancestral Dragon Scripture but also studying this Primordial World to see how it differed from the Douluo Continent.
Or to make up for her own Dao fortune.
After all, at her God King level, raising her level would be simple even in the Primordial World.
The problem was exactly what her so-called master had said.
With nothing but a level, even if she raised it, she would still be the weakest among creatures of the same level on the Primordial World Continent.
Proud as she was, Gu Yuena would never accept that she, the mighty Dragon God, would be the weakest!
She should be the strongest!
By now, Gu Yuena's goal had shifted from ruling the Primordial Dragon Clan to being invincible among dragons of the same level.
She would take it step by step and work toward it gradually!
Douluo Continent.
Spirit Pagoda.
At that moment, the Qiangu Clan's family was all gathered together.
In truth, after seeing the Ancestral Dragon Scripture on the sky screen, the other Soul Masters had made neither head nor tail of it.
But Soul Masters with dragon Martial Souls had all felt a faint yearning in their bloodlines.
The problem was that none of them could understand the Ancestral Dragon Scripture.
Yet the Qiangu family was making an attempt.
Because their family had three Limit Douluos.
Qiangu Dieting and Qiangu Dongfeng both had the Coiling Dragon Staff as their Martial Soul.
And dragon souls dwelled within those staffs.
Qiangu Dieting could clearly sense that the Ancestral Dragon Scripture would greatly benefit him.
"Father, that cultivation method is very strange. Let me try it first."
Qiangu Dongfeng did not dare let his father try.
After all, although he was now the master of the Spirit Pagoda, his strength still fell short of his father's.
It was better for him to experiment with cultivating an unknown method like this.
Qiangu Dieting nodded. "Then go ahead."
Qiangu Dongfeng immediately sat cross-legged on the ground. He was a mighty Titled Douluo. If a bunch of animals could learn it, how could he fail?
Although he had seen that wild beasts ruled the Primordial World,
he still felt that wild beasts were nothing but animals!
If even animals could cultivate it successfully, why couldn't I?
But the moment he began drawing upon the Ancestral Dragon Scripture, a consciousness from the Primordial World that stood above all gods crashed down to suppress him.
The dragon soul dwelling within his Coiling Dragon Staff was like a firefly before the radiant moon.
"No!"
The next moment, his Coiling Dragon Staff Martial Soul manifested.
What made their Qiangu Clan special was not the dragon souls dwelling within their Coiling Dragon Staffs, but the staffs' defining trait: unyieldingness.
Against any powerful foe, they could summon an unyielding heart.
"A mere animal dares to suppress me?"
"Coiling Dragon Staff! Unyielding!"
He chose to forcibly circulate the method, determined to cultivate this Ancestral Dragon Scripture.
After all, Gu Yuena in the Primordial World could continually increase her strength through the Ancestral Dragon Scripture.
Naturally, he could too.
Then~
The result of remaining unyielding was that, before Qiangu Dongfeng's disbelieving eyes, the dragon soul dwelling within his Coiling Dragon Staff was annihilated outright.
"No, that's impossible!"
"This is bad!"
Qiangu Dongfeng reacted instantly and immediately withdrew his Coiling Dragon Staff.
His face also turned deathly pale in an instant, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
His presence became utterly chaotic.
It had been far too close. If he had not withdrawn his Coiling Dragon Staff in time, that presence would have shattered his Martial Soul.
"How is this possible?"
Qiangu Dieting looked incredulous. How could they be unable to learn even a single cultivation method?
"Why?"
Could not even a rank-99 Limit Douluo cultivate this Ancestral Dragon Scripture?
"I'm a mighty Limit Douluo, yet I can't even get started with a cultivation method."
Qiangu Dongfeng was somewhat at a loss.
"Let this old man try!" Qiangu Dieting sneered. He refused to believe that he could not learn a mere cultivation method.
But Qiangu Dongfeng stopped his father in time.
"No, Father. My dragon soul was dispersed. My Martial Soul was one step away from shattering."
"Father, you can't take that risk."
Qiangu Dieting frowned. "I think I can do it."
Qiangu Dongfeng smiled bitterly. "But if something happens to you, Father, our Spirit Pagoda will be finished."
If you won't do it, and he won't do it, then let me!
Qiangu Zhangting boldly spoke up. "Let me! Let me try."
However, both Qiangu Dongfeng and Qiangu Dieting refused.
What a joke. If even a rank-99 Limit Douluo couldn't cultivate it, what could a Soul Master who hadn't even become a Titled Douluo cultivate?
As for Qiangu Qingfeng, his Martial Soul was a Mutated Martial Soul. He had not inherited the Qiangu Clan's Coiling Dragon Staff.
As the master of the Spirit Pagoda, people were the last thing his Spirit Pagoda lacked.
"I can have those with dragon Martial Souls cultivate the Ancestral Dragon Scripture."
"I refuse to believe it. In our vast Spirit Pagoda, could there be even one person who can successfully cultivate the Ancestral Dragon Scripture?"
