Nüwa's Expectations! Has Taishang Resolved to Help Tongtian?

Inside the Purple Firmament Palace.

Heavenly Dao Hongjun sat cross-legged in the center of the Dao Palace, expressionless.

There was no sign of anxiety that Ao Changsheng had expected. In fact, rather than saying that he was not anxious, it would be more accurate to say that Heavenly Dao Hongjun simply did not care about what had just happened.

In his view, the actions of Jinling, Guiling, and even Celestial Venerable Yuanshi were nothing more than trivial matters.

Regardless of the schemes and plots between Celestial Venerable Yuanshi and Cult Master Tongtian.

But the ending...

It was destined long ago!

Of the 365 Orthodox God in the Investiture of the Gods, more than 200 have been occupied by star gods, but the remaining 100-plus Orthodox God positions are still available.

This is enough to trigger a war between the Chan and Jie sects. As long as the two sects fight, then Celestial Venerable Yuanshi and Cult Master Tongtian will inevitably clash.

Not to mention...

He wasn't the only one behind the scenes driving the Great Investiture of the Gods Calamity toward this outcome.

He didn't even need to lift a finger.

Someone will naturally step in and guide things toward that one and only outcome.

The destruction of the Primordial World was already destined.

Hongjun understood this very well, after all... the one who knew his disciples best was none other than himself, Hongjun!

Heavenly Dao Hongjun slowly closed his eyes.

At the same time.

Inside the Empress Wa Palace.

Nüwa opened her eyes, a hint of doubt in them, and looked towards the Primordial World. "The future of the Lingzhuzi... has changed?"

Lingzhuzi —no, Nezha— was personally sent into the mortal realm for reincarnation by Nüwa and placed on the Investiture of the Gods. What will become of Nezha's fate?

Nüwa, of course, knew this all too well.

"I see... Jinling, no, is it Guiling?"

Nüwa murmured to herself.

Although she does not cultivate the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, at Nüwa's current level, she would have some basic understanding of the Three Thousand Great Dao.

But fate, cause and effect... are the most mysterious of all.

Nüwa could clearly see that Nezha's fate had changed, and the cause and effect were directly linked to Jinling, while Jinling's cause and effect were mostly entangled with Guiling.

After that...

Nüwa consciously refrained from investigating the cause and effect of the Guiling.

"As expected... in this primordial Primordial World where sages have established themselves, even when Sage makes a move, it doesn't always go exactly as the Sage intended."

Nüwa sighed softly, her expression showing neither frustration nor joy at the change in Lingzhuzi's fate.

As the first Heavenly Dao Sage to attain enlightenment besides Heavenly Dao Hongjun, Nüwa's profound knowledge and understanding of the Primordial World make her the foremost among all saints.

Even Supreme Laozi and the Daoist Jieyin, both sages of the Heavenly Dao Sage, cannot compare to him.

However, how could the schemes and plots of Celestial Venerable Yuanshi and the Chan Sect against Nezha escape Nüwa's scrutiny?

Nüwa simply didn't pay any attention to it.

After all, Nezha is the reincarnation of Lingzhuzi. No matter how much the disciples of the Chan Sect, they can only plot against Nezha's Karmic Luck.

They dared not actually take Nezha's life.

Perhaps Nezha himself did not know that even if he was tricked by the Chan Sect and lost everything, it would not be a big deal.

Perhaps in Taiyi's eyes, Nezha possessed extremely strong Karmic Luck, while in Celestial Venerable Yuanshi's eyes, Nezha's Karmic Luck was related to his Chan Sect in the Heavenly Court.

But...

Unless one gathers the Karmic Luck of the entire Primordial World, no matter how strong one's Karmic Luck is, it is impossible to reach the threshold of Sage.

Otherwise, in Nüwa's eyes, the so-called Karmic Luck contained within Nezha was nothing special.

On the contrary, the Chan Sect's scheming against Nezha may cause Nezha a lot of suffering now, but those hardships will only serve to strengthen Nezha spirit.

A strong mind, a resilient heart forged through countless trials, is far more important than so-called Karmic Luck.

Nüwa looked down at the shimmering pearl in her palm.

This shimmering pearl is none other than Nezha, or rather, the true form of that Lingzhuzi, the Innate Spirit Treasure of that born true spirit.

The true nature of this Lingzhuzi is also the reason why Nüwa disregarded the Chan Sect's schemes against the Lingzhuzi and Nezha.

Although the spirit of Innate Spirit Treasure is very special, all the power of Innate Spirit Treasure resides in its physical form.

Only when the spirit of Innate Spirit Treasure is combined with the physical body of the Innate Spirit Treasure can the true potential of the spirit of the first Innate Spirit Treasure in the Primordial World be revealed.

That is a formidable talent that would absolutely rank among the top even among the many Innate Divine Beings Primordial World.

That's a terrifying aptitude that, once fused, would allow one to instantly attain the Daluo Golden Immortal, and... reach the Quasi-Sage Realm at an incredible speed.

Only.

The Lady Nüwa had high hopes for Lingzhuzi.

The fact that Lingzhuzi could easily achieve the level of Daluo Golden Immortal, or even Quasi-Sage, was never Lady Nüwa's expectation of Lingzhuzi.

The Lady Nüwa had higher expectations for the Lingzhuzi.

It is so high that even Lingzhuzi's talent requires countless trials before one can finally stand tall in that field.

Keep trying!

Looking towards Nezha in the distant Chentang Pass of the Primordial World, Nüwa's eyes held a hint of anticipation.

"Lingzhuzi, I await the day you personally come to my Nüwa Palace, the day you come to reclaim your original form!"

Nüwa's voice, filled with expectations for Lingzhuzi, echoed in the Nüwa Palace.

Coincidentally!

At this time, the Primordial World land...

On Mount Shouyang.

At this time, Supreme Laozi, like Nüwa, was also looking forward to the future.

But... Nüwa's hopes are for the future of Lingzhuzi.

Supreme Laozi, on the other hand, had high hopes for the future of his two junior brothers.

Although the events that occur in the Nine Provinces are kept secret, for the sages, as long as they are willing, they are not secrets at all.

Seeing his second brother, Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, suffer repeated setbacks, his schemes disrupted by a Quasi-Sage, and even forced to engage in a battle with a Quasi-Sage.

Seeing the humiliation suffered by Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, Supreme Laozi merely frowned, showing no intention of speaking up for his junior brother.

Only...

Laozi suddenly muttered something to himself out of the blue, looked up at the sky, and a hint of helplessness appeared in his indifferent eyes.

"In the end, it was still a failure!"

It's hard to imagine that Supreme Laozi, who has always been indifferent to worldly affairs, would show such an attitude.

It's important to understand that Laozi wasn't some half-baked Sage like Yuanshi Tongtian; he was a genuine Heavenly Dao Sage.

Regardless of their actual strength, even considering their State of Mind, they should absolutely not exhibit such a mentality.

But at this moment...

Supreme Laozi, however, truly felt powerless.

After all... even a Heavenly Dao Sage cannot create another Heavenly Dao Sage, let alone the fact that he wants to create two Heavenly Dao Sages.

Even if...

Celestial Venerable Yuanshi and Cult Master Tongtian were only one step away from becoming true Heavenly Dao Sage.

But this final step is not much different in difficulty from directly creating a Sage.

Taishang had originally hoped that during this Immortal Slaughter Tribulation, his two junior brothers would sever their final Self Corpse and become Sage.

But now it seems...

"This time, perhaps only one of my junior brothers can become a true Sage," Supreme Laozi sighed softly.

Having made up his mind, Supreme Laozi immediately resumed his previous calm and composed demeanor.

In Taishang's mind, the images of Celestial Venerable Yuanshi and Cult Master Tongtian alternated, and then without any hesitation, only the image of Cult Master Tongtian remained.

Without a doubt.

In choosing which junior disciple to help achieve sainthood, Supreme Laozi chose Cult Master Tongtian.

It wasn't that Laozi disliked Celestial Venerable Yuanshi's various schemes and chose Cult Master Tongtian instead, it was simply...

Compared to the difficulty of Celestial Venerable Yuanshi's attainment of enlightenment, the difficulty of Cult Master Tongtian becoming Sage in this era was much simpler.

This is not something Laozi Tzu made up on a whim.

Although the setbacks suffered by Celestial Venerable Yuanshi were kept very secret.

But the Three Purities Ones are one.

Furthermore, as a true Heavenly Dao Sage, Supreme Laozi naturally knew everything clearly.

Laozi knew Celestial Venerable Yuanshi's temperament all too well. Given his repeated setbacks, the difficulty of eliminating the last remaining corpse would increase dramatically.

In contrast.

The Cult Master Tongtian is much simpler.

Moreover, this Immortal Slaughter Tribulation is specifically targeted at the Jie Sect. With a little push, it can be transformed into the most suitable trial for the Cult Master Tongtian.

While I can't say with absolute certainty that it will allow the Cult Master Tongtian to sever his Self Corpse and achieve the status of Heavenly Dao Sage, but...

It is much simpler than that of Celestial Venerable Yuanshi.

In this situation, Supreme Laozi would naturally choose to help Cult Master Tongtian.

As for Celestial Venerable Yuanshi.

Supreme Laozi paused slightly.

Although unwilling, there was nothing he could do but wait until the end of the era, awaiting the next opportunity to attain enlightenment.

At the same time, the long period before the next opportunity to attain enlightenment is also a good time for Supreme Laozi.

"Having established the Jie Sect, does Junior Brother truly understand what 'intercepting' means?"

Supreme Laozi gazed in the direction of Golden Turtle Island in the East Sea, as if talking to someone, or perhaps talking to himself.

Ao Changsheng, who was in the East Sea, was naturally unaware of Taishang Nüwa's expectations and schemes.

Certainly.

Ao Changsheng wasn't particularly interested in these things.

Although this era of Primordial World appeared prosperous and thriving, in Ao Changsheng's eyes it was a stagnant pool.

It is completely devoid of the vibrant life it had during the Lich Age.

Even... the Primordial World during the final stages of the Lich Wars, shrouded in the Immeasurable Tribulation, was far more interesting to Ao Changsheng than the Primordial World at present.

As a result, Ao Changsheng even lacked interest in witnessing the mythical 'history' firsthand.

If it weren't for the existence of Fuxi and Guiling, two disciples in this era, Ao Changsheng might have simply gone into seclusion for an entire era.

By placing the Guiling in the Daoist temple and allowing it to absorb Innate Spiritual Qi to restore its own Law Power, Ao Changsheng shifted more of his attention to the location of his Daoist body within the Chaos.

Here...

He discovered something incredible!
