Primordial Era: With unparalleled comprehension, I created three thousand demon realms.

Chapter 17: Discard the dross and retain the essence

"Taoist companion?"

Yuan Huang's words surprised Yuan Meng somewhat.

Daoist partners are just like husband and wife, and Yuan Meng has no objection to this. Yuan Huang is qualified to be his Daoist partner in terms of both rank and strength.

The only thing that surprised Yuan Meng was that Yuan Huang actually made up her mind with such determination, which was something Yuan Meng hadn't expected.

It's important to know that, no matter what, Yuanhuang's Phoenix Clan is still one of the three great innate clans of the primordial world.

The absolute overlord of the primordial world.

How could Yuan Meng not be surprised by Yuan Huang's decision?
Most importantly, Yuan Huang said he was surrendering, not forming an alliance, which means that the Phoenix Clan will now be led by the Beast Clan.

However, it's unlikely that they would truly be treated like a subordinate race. Yuan Huang's proposal to become Yuan Meng's Daoist partner probably also had the intention of elevating the status of the Phoenix Clan.

“Fellow Daoist Yuanhuang, I’m a little curious, are you so sure I’m not lying to you?” Yuanmeng asked Yuanhuang.

Yuan Huang looked at Yuan Meng and said meaningfully, "Fellow Daoist Yuan Meng, why try to deceive me with something so easily debunked?"

"And isn't there already a very good fact to prove it?"

Upon hearing Yuan Huang's words, Yuan Meng knew that Yuan Huang was referring to the ferocious beast clan.

Thinking of this, Yuan Meng nodded.

“Since that’s the case, I have nothing more to say. I naturally agree to Fellow Daoist Yuanhuang’s conditions,” Yuan Meng said slowly.

Thinking about it carefully, becoming fellow Daoists with Yuan Huang isn't entirely out of the question.

As for the Six Saints of later generations, it still goes on to say that Yuan Meng alone could not deal with them; Yuan Meng also needed allies.

Otherwise, if Yangmei is so powerful, having become a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian even before Hongjun, why would he have to suffer so much in the chaos?

It's all because of Hongjun and the Six Sages.

What kind of existence is a sage? They are omniscient and omnipotent, supreme beings who can create all the heavens and myriad worlds with a single thought.

If someone were that easy to deal with, they wouldn't be a saint.

“Yuanhuang said…Yuanhuang, what you need to do next is to continue participating in the Great Tribulation of the Primordial World,” Yuan Meng said slowly.

Yuan Huang's eyes first held a hint of doubt, but then she understood what Yuan Meng meant.

"You mean, like the ferocious beast race, we should discard the dross and keep the essence?" Yuan Huang asked Yuan Meng.

“That’s right. You can secretly arrange for any promising younger members of the Phoenix Clan to temporarily leave the Primordial World. The Great World of Ferocious Beasts is currently the best place for them,” Yuan Meng said slowly.

“Some things are unavoidable, so in the end, we must do our best to minimize the losses.” Yuan Meng looked at Yuan Huang.

Upon hearing Yuan Meng's words, Yuan Huang nodded. This was indeed a solution, as it would preserve the strength of the Phoenix Clan.

It can also weed out some bad apples.

"How should I finally escape?" Yuan Huang asked Yuan Meng.

"How did the ferocious beast clan escape?" Yuan Meng asked with a smile.

Upon hearing Yuan Meng's words, Yuan Huang's eyes lit up.

The Phoenix Clan was born in the Undying Volcano in the southern part of the Primordial Wilderness, where volcanic eruptions occur year-round. If it weren't for the Phoenix Clan guarding the area, the entire southern Primordial Wilderness might have become a fiery wasteland.

The reason why the Phoenix Clan is born with great fortune is because the Phoenix Clan guards these immortal volcanoes.

These immortal volcanoes are not spewing ordinary flames, but Nanming Li Fire!

Only the Phoenix Clan could suppress it; this is no joke.

"Thank you for your guidance, fellow Daoist." Yuan Huang smiled knowingly, her beauty unparalleled.

Yuan Meng smiled and said, "There's no need for such formalities between us."

Upon hearing Yuan Meng's words, Yuan Huang understood their meaning, and a blush appeared on her stunningly beautiful face. Then, Yuan Huang looked at Yuan Meng.

"What should be done about the Qilin clan and the Dragon clan?" Yuan Huang asked slowly.

Yuan Meng's eyes gleamed: "They will be just like the Phoenix Clan."

Upon hearing Yuan Meng's words, Yuan Huang was somewhat surprised and looked at Yuan Meng with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

“Our enemy is not the dragon race, but the Qilin race,” Yuan Meng said meaningfully.

Upon hearing Yuan Meng's words, Yuan Huang finally came to her senses and remembered Yuan Meng's words: the waters of the primordial world are very deep.

“Although the secrets of heaven are in chaos right now, there are still some things that are hard to say. If you have the chance, you can give them some pointers about the Ancestral Dragon and the Primordial Qilin,” Yuan Meng said slowly, a glint of light in his eyes.

It's time to take the lead in this grand drama of the primordial era.

The joy of fighting against Heaven is boundless, especially for the sages of later generations.

Yuan Meng would not underestimate them, whether in terms of strength or anything else.

Those saints were not nuclear bomb saints; they were true saints, transcending all heavens and myriad realms, the ultimate invincible Dao.

They are the source of the Word.

In a single thought, one can determine the existence and demise of all realms and worlds.

They are also chess players, using all things in heaven and earth and all living beings as chess pieces.

An existence that treats all things as straw dogs, a true being who looks down upon all heavens, an ultimate being whose gaze can pierce through eternity!

Ten thousand years later, Yuanhuang left the Demon Abyss Sea.

I've already made up my mind. No one, no matter who they are, can become the ruler of the primordial world. This is something that was destined to happen.

There are always powerful beings who are unwilling to be subordinate to others. The primordial world is vast, and no one knows exactly how big it is or how many ancient monsters it hides.

Even Hongjun is the same, isn't he?

Hongjun was not the first to attain enlightenment; the first to do so in the prehistoric world was the Space Demon God Yangmei.

However, Yangmei was able to achieve enlightenment before Hongjun largely because he was a reincarnation of one of the Three Thousand Great Dao Demon Gods.

Before becoming a saint, Hongjun was unaware of Yangmei's existence. The two even fought, and naturally, Hongjun lost in the end.

Of course, this happened before Hongjun merged with the Dao. After Hongjun merged with the Dao, Yangmei was naturally no match for him.

Moreover, the reason why Yang Mei fled to the Chaos was very likely because of the emergence of the Six Sages after the Primordial Era.

From any perspective, the primordial world is not a simple thing.

As for Hongjun, Yuanmeng wasn't worried at all. The so-called conspiracy theories were all nonsense, such as Hongjun being able to control the Heavenly Dao.

That's complete nonsense.

If Hongjun could truly control the Heavenly Dao, then the Primordial World wouldn't have been shattered during the Investiture of the Gods.

What benefits would the shattering of the primordial world bring to Hongjun, who was in harmony with the Heavenly Dao?

It brought no benefits whatsoever; on the contrary, it lowered the quality of the prehistoric world.

As for why Rahu wasn't kept?
Rahu is an unstable factor. Don't spout nonsense about demons being free and doing whatever they want. What is a true demon?

Harming living beings and committing all kinds of evil—that is the true demon.

As a demon ancestor, Luo Hou could not possibly be a good thing, which greatly affected Yuan Meng's later plans. This is why Yuan Meng never considered keeping Luo Hou alive.

Luo Hou obediently transformed into the Demon Realm, which made the greatest contribution to the prehistoric world.
