This is so dishonest!

Chapter 302 Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao, Three Thousand Immortals
In the western part of the primordial land, the demons rebuilt the Western Temple of the Ferocious Gods.

Countless enormous black divine banners floated in the void, inscribed with the words "Divine Fiend".

"This is a summoning array that I upgraded by combining the wisdom of some fellow Daoists. I guarantee that it can summon the Chaos Demon God with minimal disturbance!"

Before the summoning array, Shen Ni made a solemn vow.

"Are you sure?" Xiang Gu Zhi Shi questioned.

“When you said that last time, there was just a slight commotion when the divine punishment lightning struck down.”

Shen Ni said, "That was an accident!"

"Fellow Daoist Destruction has already mastered the technique of substitution, so the divine tribulation lightning will definitely not strike us!"

The Six Waves Heavenly Lord, who was standing to the side, also said, "What about the time before last? We hadn't even started when the Phoenix Clan came knocking on our door."

"That was an accident."

Shen Ni said, "The Phoenix Clan has an extremely keen sense of calamity energy. They must have realized that we opened the world passage and released the ferocious beasts into the prehistoric world."

"They were targeting the ferocious beasts under my command, but they just happened to run into us. Otherwise, even if they had ten Grand Luo Supremes, they wouldn't have known that I was trying to summon a demon god!"

“This time, I have already activated several large beast nests near Tiannan in advance, and even arranged for the fierce god to carry out sabotage operations.”

Shen Ni laughed and said, "With such a close encounter, the Phoenix Clan will definitely send a large army to surround and annihilate us, so they won't have time to worry about us."

After a long period of stealthy development, the ferocious beast race has gradually recovered its strength.

Shen Ni's move of sacrificing a pawn to save the king shows he has no worries about his forces being depleted.

"Then let's begin, fellow Daoist. We'll protect you!" The demons were still a little uneasy. They stood ready, watching the surrounding void with vigilance.

If anything goes wrong, the demons will protect Shen Ni and make their escape.

"start!"

In the vast expanse of time and space, chaos erupted, and a dark red shrouded everything, its location unknown—whether in the east or the west—filled the entire Temple of the Evil God with countless irregular vortexes.

Boom! ! !
A bolt from the blue; a lightning tribulation has been formed.

"We knew it!" Without saying a word, the demons each unleashed their domains, ready to pull Shen Ni away.

"slow!"

Shen Ni raised his hand and looked up at the sky: "The tribulation has dissipated."

"Ok?"

The demons looked up and saw that the newly formed lightning tribulation, for some unknown reason, hovered above the Temple of the Ferocious God for a few breaths before inexplicably dissipating.

"Is this a trip to destroy fellow Daoist?"

Shen Ni was overjoyed. He thanked the Destruction God in his heart and then hurriedly said, "Quickly, quickly, restore the formation!"

Let's do it again!

~~~
The wilderness of Duguang.

Here, all kinds of grains grow naturally, one can hear the luan birds singing, and see the phoenixes dancing.

Lingshou is a place of great beauty, where plants and trees gather and all kinds of animals frolic.

The scene was completely peaceful and harmonious.

There is a spiritual root here, named Jianmu.

Its leaves are green and its stems are purple, its flowers are black and its fruit is yellow. It is extremely tall, reaching to the sky and the earth.

At this moment, beneath the towering Jianmu tree, a primordial deity dressed in green stood on Kunwu Hill, gazing up at the stars and overlooking all things.

The rhythm of the universe, the rising and falling of the sun and moon, yin and yang, all follow its own will.

This god is none other than Fuxi.

As he comprehended the Great Dao, he suddenly sensed something and was slightly surprised: "Hmm? Who is interfering with me?"

The divine tribulation lightning dissipated not because it turned to strike the Destruction God.

Instead, the secrets of heaven were obscured by an unknown entity, causing the tribulation lightning to lose its target.

"Interesting, who is this?"

Fuxi stroked his smooth chin, appearing deep in thought.

The gods of the primordial world all had ways to shield themselves from the secrets of heaven, to varying degrees.

However, those who have the ability to block Fu's lock are few and far between.

"An unknown demon god? Demon Ancestor Rahu? Taiwei Heavenly Emperor? Or perhaps..."

Recalling the time when a powerful force was helping him conceal the secrets of heaven during the Great Calamity of the Stars, Fuxi already had the answer in his heart.

"Hongjun!"

~~~~
Some unknown territory.

The surrounding area was vast and boundless, the space above and below was chaotic and empty.

The two Taoist priests walked side by side here.

Time seems to stand still here. There is no matter, no earth, fire, water, or wind. If you had to describe this place in one word, it would probably be "emptiness".

"Old Taoist, what is the meaning behind this?" Yangmei Taoist was very puzzled by Hongjun's act of helping Shenni.

By assisting Shen Ni, isn't this indirectly helping the Chaos Demon God?

We are ancient deities who have come ashore, how can we get mixed up with the chaotic demons?

"Don't be impatient."

Hongjun walked casually through this void where all things were empty.

In the void, all phenomena constantly change as Hongjun moves forward.

From nothingness a myriad of scenes were born, the three thousand Great Daos intertwined and shone, countless paths began to extend, and the laws of the Great Dao spread out in all directions.

Hongjun and Yangmei stood here, as if they were standing at the starting point of the Great Dao.

From this origin, all things came into being.

"What is this?" Yang Mei asked, slightly surprised.

Here, in his eyes, all things in the primordial world change according to the Great Dao and move according to order.

The sun and moon shine without a god's watchful eye, the stars follow their own order without a deity's guidance, birds and beasts live without a saint's creation, the wind blows on its own without being fanned, water flows without being pushed, and grass and trees grow without being planted...

Suddenly, the void opened up, and in an instant, auspicious clouds appeared in thousands of rays, and a strange fragrance wafted through the air.

The three thousand great paths converged into supreme radiance, forming a futon.

Hongjun nodded in satisfaction and sat cross-legged.

"What about mine?" Yang Mei asked, dissatisfied.

“Look!” Hongjun pointed to the side, and a futon appeared.

Yang Mei then smiled and sat down happily.

"Speak, what are your motives in helping Shen Ni?"

"What scheme? That sounds awful. This is called going with the flow!" Hongjun emphasized.

Yang Mei curled her lip: "Go with the flow? Go with what flow?"

Hongjun said, "Of course, it's the overwhelming force of the Heavenly Dao in the primordial world!" "???"

Yang Mei: "Where did the Heavenly Dao come from in the primordial world?"

"Just because it didn't exist before doesn't mean it won't exist in the future." Hongjun took out the Creation Jade Disc.

When this object appeared, boundless radiant light of the Great Dao illuminated the void.

"You want to fabricate the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World?" Yang Mei was extremely surprised.

"No, no, no!"

Hongjun shook his head: "It was clearly me who followed the trend and helped the Primordial Heavenly Dao to be born. How can you say that I fabricated the Primordial Heavenly Dao?"

Yang Mei's lips twitched: "Do you even believe that yourself?"

"Why shouldn't I believe it? This is the truth!"

Hongjun laughed and asked, "Does the Primordial World still have a Heavenly Dao?"

"No." Yang Mei shook her head.

Hongjun asked again, "Do the beings of the primordial world now believe in the existence of the Heavenly Dao?"

"Thanks to Taiwei Yuan's schemes, most living beings have come to believe that the primordial world has a Heavenly Dao," Yang Mei said truthfully.

To be fair, he felt that the Taiwei gods were quite skilled.

The establishment of a system that rewards good and punishes evil has such an effect, which is something no one expected.

"Then let me ask you, does Taiwei Yuan possess the Primordial Heavenly Dao?"

Yang Mei shook her head: "There is no Heavenly Dao in the primordial world, so how can they grasp it?"

"At most, it's just using the laws of nature to get things done."

Hongjun smiled faintly: "What if I follow the wishes of all living beings and create a true Heavenly Dao?"

Yang Mei instantly understood. He looked at Hongjun in disbelief, "So you wanted to follow this 'momentum'—the momentum of all living beings, and the momentum of Taiwei Enclosure!"

Taiwei Yuan busied himself with various tasks, convincing all living beings and gods of the existence of the Primordial Heavenly Dao and creating an aura of its power.

However, this most crucial primordial Heavenly Dao does not exist.

Or rather, Taiwei has not yet completed the process of transforming the fake into the real.

If Hongjun had acted first and taken advantage of this momentum, he would have created a true Primordial Heavenly Dao.

That would be hilarious!
"Hey, old Taoist, you're trying to steal the peaches from Taiwei Enclosure!" Yang Mei, having figured out the cause and effect, was overjoyed.

Yang Mei still vividly remembers the incident some time ago when the three races and the Immortal Realm joined forces to issue a non-aggression pact, ultimately allowing Taiwei Yuan to reap the benefits.

Unexpectedly, when Hongjun turned around, he actually intended to pluck Taiwei's peaches.

"In the words of Fellow Daoist Nanhua, this is called 'fortune turns like a wheel'!"

Hongjun chuckled and said, "I helped Shenni because of this matter."

"To create this True Heavenly Dao, we still need the sponsorship of a demon god."

"Order?" Yang Mei thought of the most suitable being.

"Of course!"

Hongjun nodded slightly: "Without Shenni's help, this matter would have required many twists and turns."

"Taiweiyuan's attack was too ruthless. We need to give Shenni a break, otherwise when will Shenni ever be able to cause a big commotion?"

In fact, the reason why Hongjun helped Shenni this time was because Fuxi, the "hanging god" who cultivated the Great Dao of Heavenly Secrets, was too outrageous.

Following Xuanqing's instructions, Fuxi used the power of the Divine Punishment Thunder Tribulation to focus on the [Divine Rebellion] strike.

The Destruction Demon was blasted to a crisp and was unable to do anything bad. He could only accumulate merit first, and then come out to cause trouble from time to time.

During this interval, the divine tribulation lightning was not idle either.

If the lightning tribulation cannot strike the false god of destruction, it will automatically correct itself and strike the true god of destruction.

Regardless of whether it's true or false, [the so-called "divine rebellion"] is definitely doing bad things.

Fuxi only needs to aim blindly, and he will never miss.

Under this level of pressure, Shen Ni might not be killed, but his plans would certainly not progress quickly.

Hongjun had no choice but to step in and help the other party.

After hearing Hongjun's explanation, Yang Mei nodded slightly: "I see."

Yang Mei then asked a question: "What if the Order Demon God hadn't been summoned?"

"Well, even without Him, the Heavenly Way could still be achieved."

Hongjun smiled and said, "It would be even better with Him around!"

With a thought, three thousand spiritual treasures floated behind him.

Each spiritual treasure represents a great Dao.

"Alright, let's get down to business!"

The Jade Disc of Creation in his hand emitted a strange light, where endless Dao and reason converged, and this evolution was coming to fruition.

Ultimately, they all converged into a magnificent palace.

Hongjun sat quietly in the palace, with auspicious clouds stretching endlessly above his head.

The good corpse, the evil corpse, and the self-corpse fell from the auspicious clouds and sat quietly in the void.

Immediately afterwards, auspicious clouds extended above the heads of Hongjun's three corpses.

One by one, figures walked down from there.

Yang Mei's eyelids twitched violently upon seeing this.

He recognized all of these figures.

They are the Three Pure Ones, the Guide to the West, the Jade Pool, Nuwa, Donghua, Kunpeng, Dijun, and Taiyi.
After these figures appeared, they bowed to Hongjun and said, "Greetings, Dao Ancestor!"

After paying their respects to Hongjun, they each sat down quietly.

Before long, auspicious clouds appeared above the heads of these immortals again, and the immortals reappeared.

This was repeated several times, and soon the palace was filled with three thousand immortals.

"We have met the Dao Ancestor!"

This scene sent chills down Yang Mei's spine.

He turned to look at Hongjun, who had a calm expression, his expression quite complicated, as if he were meeting him for the first time.

"Old Taoist, what are you doing?"

Hongjun laughed and said, "It's just a few tricks."

After the three thousand immortals were seated, the faint sound of chanting gradually rose from the palace.

"The essence of the Dao is that it is neither born nor dies, formless and imageless, without beginning or end... It is infinitely large and infinitely small, and it remains unchanged throughout eternity..."
