Hongjun looked in the direction Liu Yuansheng had left and smiled slightly.
This apprentice was indeed his favorite.
Liu Yuansheng could arrange everything perfectly for her daily life and meals without her having to make any requests.
This is the real reason why he was able to stay by Hongjun's side so often.
The two only exchanged a few words at Liu Yuansheng's place.
Then Hongjun turned his gaze to Lin Heng and got down to business.
Not long ago, during my free time, I went to the ninth level of the Eternal Ruins.
"There, I met Fate."
Lin Heng's smiling face immediately darkened upon hearing these words.
"Did Fate go to the ninth level of the Eternal Ruins?"
"Is he plotting something again?"
Hongjun shook his head at this.
I can't figure out what he's thinking yet.
I met him at the Eternal Ruins that day.
"Hehe..."
Hongjun stopped speaking halfway through his sentence, then shook his head and smiled, ending his words there.
Seeing Hongjun's expression, Lin Heng had already guessed some of what was going on, and tentatively asked:
Is Fate trying to provoke a battle between us?
"Or does he want you to replace Primordial Chaos?"
It's not surprising that Lin Heng could have such a conjecture.
Fate excels at manipulating people's hearts.
But let's consider it from Hongjun's perspective.
The only one who could still move Hongjun.
Perhaps only Primordial Chaos holds that position.
After listening to Lin Heng's words, Hongjun nodded, which was taken as tacit agreement.
Lin Heng didn't press Hongjun for his answer.
The reasoning is very simple.
If Hongjun truly accepted Fate.
Why would he tell himself about this now?
But what puzzled Lin Heng was...
Fate operates Four Seas.
What exactly does he want to do?
Lin Heng used to believe that Fate across the Four Seas was to force him to stand on the opposite side of Primordial Chaos.
But after today's conversation with Hongjun...
This made Lin Heng begin to waver in his belief.
What is Fate planning?
Was his true goal to destroy the Primordial Chaos Universe?
Or is he plotting something even bigger?
But Lin Heng could never have imagined it.
What conspiracy could be bigger than destroying the Primordial Chaos Universe...?
Hongjun also shared his thoughts on this.
It's hard to guess what Fate is planning.
"But given the current situation..."
"He has already begun to mingle with many powerful figures across the Four Seas."
"Recently, I've noticed that many powerful figures from Four Seas have been making strange moves."
"Perhaps it's all related to Fate."
Speaking of this, Hongjun had quite a headache.
All he wanted was peace Four Seas.
Even a superficial peace is enough.
But ever since Fate intervened.
Hongjun discovered that the waters of the Four Seas had been disturbed.
Moreover, this turbulent situation has become irreversible.
Lin Heng smiled at this moment.
"You summoned me here today to discuss this matter, didn't you?"
Hongjun nodded, then said helplessly:
"My master doesn't usually pay much attention to the affairs of the Four Seas and Eight Wastelands."
"I don't want the Four Seas and Eight Wastelands to become a mess, requiring my master to personally clean it up."
To be honest, Hongjun's position is not easy to hold.
He was indeed the Lord of the Four Seas, the one who held the reins of power.
He had to pay attention to everything that happened Four Seas.
If something serious happens...
He couldn't explain it to Primordial Chaos.
It's like what would happen to Lin Heng, who has been under Primordial Chaos's constant surveillance.
Or perhaps, the seemingly peaceful Four Seas suddenly descended into chaos.
These are not things that Primordial Chaos wants to see.
Lin Heng naturally understood Hongjun's predicament.
They say it's lonely at the top.
What others see is only the superficial glory of Hongjun.
Only he himself understood the risks of sitting in that position.
The saying "Serving a ruler is like serving a tiger" is most fitting for Hongjun.
After all, above him is the Primordial Chaos, the Sovereign of the entire universe.
One wrong move and your life could be over at any moment.
Perhaps for Primordial Chaos...
Aside from Mu Chen and Lin Heng, who could potentially become like himself.
Everyone else, even Hongjun, his beloved disciple, was dispensable.
Lin Heng looked at Hongjun and asked:
"Since you've summoned me here, you must already have a plan. Speak."
Hongjun chuckled. What he liked most about Lin Heng was this decisiveness and efficiency.
Hongjun then gathered his thoughts before slowly speaking.
"The most important thing now is to find out what the purpose is of all that Fate is doing Four Seas."
"Since he wants to throw the Four Seas into chaos, then we'll play along with Fate and put on this grand show."
"There are some things I can't do myself, so I'll have to trouble you to help me out."
Lin Heng understood. Wasn't Hongjun just asking him to help create even more chaos in the Four Seas?
Lin Heng certainly wouldn't refuse this offer.
However, Lin Heng gave Hongjun a half-smile.
"If the Four Seas were to completely stir up the waters of the Four Seas."
Aren't you afraid things will get out of control?
Hongjun, however, revealed a confident smile.
"It's so messy, it's perfect to clean it up all at once."
"In this way, the Four Seas can be at peace for many more years."
"It's time for my old bones to rest for a while."
Don't be fooled by how easily Hongjun put it.
But to Lin Heng, it meant something completely different.
Chaos to the extreme?
One-time cleanup?
The meaning conveyed in these two sentences is not simple.
Obviously!
Hongjun is planning to take drastic measures this time.
This will cause the hidden undercurrents Four Seas to erupt completely.
This also represents Hongjun's determination.
If we're going to take action, let's resolve it once and for all.
Lin Heng could already foresee this.
In this turmoil, how many more cultivators will perish Four Seas and Eight Wastelands?
Lin Heng sighed inwardly, then nodded in agreement.
"Since you want to use someone else to do your dirty work, I'll make this knife for you."
Have you decided where to start?
Hongjun looked towards the east.
Then she looked at Lin Heng again.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Silence speaks louder than words.
Without a word, they both understood each other's thoughts.
At this moment, Lin Heng stood up.
"I will do what I promised."
"However, I can't guarantee how the situation will turn out."
Hongjun naturally had no objection to this.
"Just go ahead and do it."
"I'll handle the rest."
Hearing this, Lin Heng understood Hongjun's determination.
Now that everything that needed to be said has been said.
Lin Heng also planned to get up and take his leave.
Hongjun suddenly called out to Lin Heng.
" Lin Heng, wait a moment."
Lin Heng stopped, turned around, and looked at Hongjun with a puzzled expression.
At this moment, Hongjun sighed softly and instructed:
Although you are decisive in your actions.
But a sense of kindness still remains in my heart.
"With your current strength, this mercy no longer poses much of a threat."
But you'd better abandon this kindness.
