"You say this old Daoist priest is helping evil and suppressing good? I admit it."

"You said that by absorbing the bloodlines of Pangu, ferocious beasts, and spirit beasts, I have become a hybrid, and I admit it."

"You're absolutely right, the old Daoist's bloodline is indeed a chaotic mix."

"What you saw was absolutely true, and what you said was absolutely correct. Your analysis of the second sin is reasonable. So, shall we move on to the third one?"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun actually admitted it again?

Did Dao Ancestor Hongjun himself admit that he was a bastard?

The way many powerful beings looked at Hongjun changed drastically.

"Don't worry, the next step is the earthworm's third deadly sin."

"That earthworm obtained so much bloodline, it should have progressed rapidly, but unfortunately, its aptitude is extremely poor, and its cultivation is incredibly slow."

"During this process, many spirits that arose from Pangu's corpse gradually came into being. Earthworms sensed the threat and immediately hid deep within the Primordial World."

"Later, as the number of creatures in the Primordial World gradually increased, the three major races flourished the most: the Dragon Clan, who ruled over scaled creatures and dominated the oceans; the Phoenix Clan, who ruled over flying birds and dominated the skies; and the Qilin Clan, who ruled over beasts and dominated the earth."

"The Primordial World has entered a period of tripartite balance."

"And at this time, another powerful figure was born. This powerful figure was named Luohu. He had only just begun to show his talent, but he had already attracted the attention of all living beings in the Primordial World."

"Later, due to ongoing conflicts among the three clans, friction gradually began to arise."

"As time went on, the friction between the three races intensified. Coupled with Luohu's instigation and sabotage of the three races' fortunes, this ultimately led to war among the three races, causing severe damage to the Primordial World."

"The consequences were extremely severe. Of all living beings in the Primordial World, less than one in ten survived, and many ancient mythical beasts perished, directly leading to the second great decline of the Primordial World."

Ye Xuan paused slightly at this point, then revealed a strange smile.

Everyone only knows about the Demon Ancestor Luohu, who sows discord, but they don't know that the earthworm that has been hiding all along is also sowing discord.

"It's just that this earthworm's methods of sowing discord are more subtle."

"And in the end, the blame was completely pinned on Luohu, making Luo Hu an object of hatred for all living beings in the Primordial World, leaving Luohu with no way to express his suffering."

"This is your third sin: sowing discord among the Three Ancient Clans, single-handedly creating the Dragon-Han Calamity, causing devastating losses to all living beings in the Primordial World, with less than one-tenth surviving, and then pinning this crime on Luohu."

"Is it or isn't it the Earthworm Hongjun?"

Under the watchful eyes of countless beings in the Primordial World, the corners of Dao Ancestor Hongjun's mouth curled up slightly.

His smile was filled with uncontrollable joy and admiration.

There was even a hint of amazement in it.

"Excellent, truly excellent."

You're absolutely right.

"I did indeed sow discord among the Three Ancient Clans and disrupt their destiny."

"And it's even worse than what that Luohu did."

"No one in the entire Primordial World knew about this."

"I never imagined you would know so much, as if you witnessed it firsthand. It's truly admirable."

"This third sin—inciting discord among the Three Ancient Clans, orchestrating the Dragon-Han Calamity, causing the extinction of one-tenth of the Primordial World beings, and then framing Luohu for these crimes—all of these were done by me, the old Daoist."

"I'll tolerate this third sin."

"Please continue, old Daoist priest, I'm truly thrilled listening to you."

"Old earthworm, this is your fourth sin."

"That earthworm pinned all the blame for sowing discord among the Three Ancient Clans on Luohu, leaving Luohu speechless and making him the greatest sinner in the Primordial World."

"Fortunately, Luohu wasn't a good person either, so he simply established Devil Dao Ancestor. At the summit of Great Mount Sumeru in the West, he refined the Western fortune and spiritual energy, combined with the endless malevolent energy stirred up by the Three Ancient Clans, and finally forged the astonishing Four Immortal-Slaying Swords."

"This is the ancient realm where demons and the Dao existed before!"

"Attempting to Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal through Devil Dao means, the entire Primordial World was plunged into bloodshed."

"In those Primordial World times, the land was filled with slaughter and sin."

"Many Innate powerful beings spontaneously organized Demon-Exterminating Allied Army, led by Great Immortal Yang Mei, Yin-Yang Ancestor, and Qiankun Ancestor. They later invited the earthworm to join them in a battle against the Luohu's Devil Sect at Mount Sumeru, the ancestral vein of the Western Primordial World, to jointly break the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation."

"Earthworms primarily attack the Immortal Slaying Sword Gate, Great Immortal Yang Mei primarily attacks the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Gate, Yin-Yang Ancestor primarily Immortal Trapping Sword Gate, and Qiankun Ancestor primarily attacks the Immortal-Severing Sword Gate."

"However, the power of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation was not to be underestimated. Although the four attacked a sword gate separately, the boundless sword intent emanating from the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords still severely injured Great Immortal Yang Mei, Yin-Yang Ancestor, and Qiankun Ancestor."

"On the other hand, the earthworms, with their deep reserves, didn't encounter any problems and were therefore unharmed."

"The Yin-Yang Ancestor and the Qiankun Ancestor both self-destructed their primordial spirits, severely injuring the Demon Ancestor Luohu. The Earthworm and the Great Immortal Yang Mei continued to break the formation."

"When Great Immortal Yang Mei was locked in a fierce battle with Demon Ancestor Luohu was on the verge of defeat, the earthworm unexpectedly launched a sneak attack on Great Immortal Yang Mei, causing him to be seriously injured and forced to retreat into seclusion."

"After Luohu's death, the path of cultivation was extended by one tribulation, known as the 'Devil Dao,' which completed the Heavenly Dao. This led to the great prosperity of the Heavenly Dao and helped it force back the Great Dao Heavenly Dao."

"And the earthworm seized this opportunity, obtaining a chance bestowed by Heavenly Dao, and became Heavenly Dao Sage."

"But that earthworm has a secret that no one knows: the corpse of the Demon Ancestor Luohu was actually devoured by that damned earthworm."

"The earthworm is nominally Dao Ancestor, but in reality, it cultivates both the Dao Devil Dao Path. It is not only Dao Ancestor but also a new Demon Ancestor!"

"The earthworm's fourth deadly sin: plotting against Great Immortal Yang Mei, practicing both Devil Dao and demonic cultivation, and helping the Heavenly Dao force back the Great Dao, is that right?"

"Indeed, these things were done by me, Old Dao, almost flawlessly."

"It's truly astonishing to hear these things coming from your mouth."

"The fourth deadly sin you mentioned—persecuting Yang Mei, devouring Luohu, and helping the Heavenly Dao force back the Great Dao —these are all things I, this old Daoist, did, and they are exactly as you described, without the slightest difference."

"I admit to this fourth sin."

"Anything else? If so, please continue. This old Daoist priest is listening."

Listening to the words of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Many people couldn't help but close their eyes in anguish.

"The Dao Ancestor actually acknowledged it again?"

"The Dao Ancestor Hongjun actually acknowledged it again?"

Did Dao Ancestor Hongjun really do these things?

"It's really hard to imagine--------"

"Since you want to hear it, then continue."

Ye Xuan paused slightly.

"With your help, you earthworm, the Heavenly Dao has prospered and forced back the Great Dao. Overjoyed, the Heavenly Dao bestowed upon me fifty strands of Heavenly Dao Origin."

"These fifty Heavenly Dao Origin represent fifty opportunities to achieve sainthood."

"I intend to use you to select some powerful beings from the Primordial World and create fifty Heavenly Dao Sage."

"Unfortunately, the most powerful opportunity has vanished, disappearing without a trace. This is one of the four nine aspects of the Heavenly Evolution that have escaped!"

Ye Xuan paused slightly as he spoke.

"You possessed forty-nine opportunities to achieve sainthood, but you greedily used one, leaving you with forty-eight."

"However, you earthworm, after much deliberation, ultimately only granted seven opportunities to achieve sainthood, while the remaining forty-one Heavenly Dao Origin were returned to the Heavenly Dao by you, you earthworm."

"They keep saying that just a few Heavenly Dao puppets are enough to control the Primordial World."

"An excessive number of Saint would also be a scourge to the Primordial World."

"It was you, this earthworm, who single-handedly severed the path to sainthood for over forty powerful beings."

"By assisting the Heavenly Dao, it saved over forty energy sources, and the Heavenly Dao Will, pleased, finally approved of this earthworm."

"Thus, the earthworm obtained the opportunity to merge with the Dao of Heavenly Dao, rising from an ordinary Heavenly Dao Sage to the Dao Integration Realm in one fell swoop. Its strength also increased by leaps and bounds, officially dominating the entire Primordial World."

"I must say, you're quite the amazing earthworm."

"For his own sake, he plotted against many powerful beings in the Primordial World, ruthlessly cutting off the opportunities for over forty powerful beings to become saints, all so that he could gain the approval of the Heavenly Dao."

"You earthworm, your scheme is truly brilliant!"

Ye Xuan gave Dao Ancestor Hongjun a thumbs up.

"Earthworm, the fifth deadly sin, cut off the chances of over forty powerful beings to become saints, all for your sake, all to gain the favor of the Heavenly Dao Will, all to give you the opportunity to merge with the Dao."

"Will you confess to this fifth deadly sin?"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun took a deep breath, and his strange expression gradually disappeared.

A faint smile gradually appeared on her face.

"You're absolutely right, almost without a doubt."

"When we defeated the Demon Ancestor Luohu, we completed the Heavenly Dao, which caused Heavenly Dao to awaken immediately and, with my assistance, successfully forced back the Great Dao."

"Later, Heavenly Dao did indeed bestow fifty Heavenly Dao Origin."

"It did indeed allow the old Daoist priest to search for suitable candidates in the Primordial World."

As he spoke, Dao Ancestor Hongjun paused slightly.

"But the old Daoist felt that fifty Saint were a bit too many for the Primordial World."

"Seven Saint are enough, so the old Daoist bestowed seven opportunities."

"The remaining Heavenly Dao Origin was indeed returned to the Heavenly Dao by the old Daoist."

"Indeed, he seized this opportunity to gain the approval of the Heavenly Dao, and ultimately obtained the chance to merge with the Heavenly Dao."

"You say this is the fifth deadly sin, severing the opportunity for advancement for many powerful beings in the Primordial World, and that's not entirely wrong. I, this old Daoist, accept it!"

"You've managed to name all five of the old Daoist's sins; that's quite remarkable."

"This is only your fifth deadly sin; there's much more to hear."

As Ye Xuan spoke, he turned his gaze to Nuwa was not far away.

Since the appearance of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Nuwa has remained silent.

Now, seeing this little guy, he turned his gaze to himself.

Could it be that what the little guy is about to say is related to himself?

Thinking of this, Nuwa's expression suddenly turned much uglier.

Could it be that the Dao Ancestor Hongjun really attacked her?

But I didn't feel like I suffered any loss?

A look of confusion flashed in Nuwa's eyes.

He simply stared intently at the Human Clan Saint Emperor without saying a word.

Ye Xuan looked at Nuwa and smiled slightly.

"I suppose the Human Dao Will has also sought you out before?"

Do you know why, in the end, the Human Dao Will abandoned you?

These words immediately piqued everyone's curiosity.

Did the Human Dao Will ever seek out Nuwa?

Did you give up in the end?

Could this also be related to Hongjun?
