Primordial Era: With unparalleled comprehension, I am the Ancestor of Stars.

Chapter 79 Hongjun personally intervenes, Nuwa and Laozi

"Senior, I only wanted to seek opportunities among humans, but she blocked my way and even stole my spiritual treasure. I had no choice but to..."

"Seeking an opportunity! Hmph, that's easy to say!"

Taihao snorted coldly.

"Humans were created by Nuwa. Did you obtain her permission before going to their settlement?"

"Besides, is that crutch really your magical treasure? Isn't it part of the Creation Lotus?"

"Or... have you forgotten what you, the Three Pure Ones, encountered when you sought the spiritual treasure countless eons ago?"

Upon hearing Taihao's words, Laozi's pupils suddenly contracted, his expression filled with astonishment, and he blurted out...

"You...you were that powerful being back then!"

At this moment, Lao Tzu was horrified.

If Taihao hadn't suddenly brought it up, he probably would have forgotten about it.

But now, when he thinks back, he is inevitably overwhelmed by the shock and fear he felt back then, and the situation is exactly the same as it is now!

Even though he has already attained sainthood!

There was nothing he could do; the situation at that time had left too deep an impression on him.

"So you hadn't forgotten!"

Taihao chuckled and continued.

"If that's the case, can you still say that the magical treasure belongs to your Three Pure Ones?"

"this……"

Laozi was speechless.

He wanted to say yes, but the words wouldn't come out.

Even if Yuanshi and Tongtian were present at this moment, the outcome wouldn't be much better. Faced with Taihao's questioning, they wouldn't be able to say "yes."

Because Lao Tzu clearly remembered that when they obtained the opportunity to obtain the Creation Lotus, he sensed the causal connection.

It seems that if the Creation Lotus is taken away, a calamity may befall them in the future!

Now, that premonition has become a reality!

Lao Tzu never expected that the calamity would not befall him before he attained enlightenment, but rather after he did!

This is even more disheartening than if it appeared before the enlightenment!

Because if it comes before enlightenment, he can still hope to regain face after enlightenment.

But what happened at that moment completely shattered his hopes.

You've already become a saint, how can you improve further?

And even if it were higher, it still wouldn't surpass Taihao!

unless……

Hongjun personally intervened!

The moment this thought crossed Lao Tzu's mind, the next instant, a Daoist voice resounded from the heavens.

An elderly man with a refined and otherworldly air, and white hair and beard, suddenly appeared.

This person is none other than Hongjun!

Heavenly Dao Hongjun!

"Fellow Daoist Taihao, if you feel the urge to spar, you can exchange blows with this old Daoist in the Chaos Realm. Why bother attacking my disciple who has just attained Dao?"

"Fellow Daoist Hongjun, I have been waiting for you here for a long time!"

Taihao said this.

Taihao was not at all surprised by Hongjun's appearance.

Or rather, it's normal for him to appear; it would be strange if he didn't.

When Hongjun finished his sermon at Zixiao Palace, he not only said that he was about to merge with the Dao, but also that after merging with the Dao, he would not appear again except for major events.

Coincidentally, the general trend of the primordial world has now changed.

So even if he doesn't want to come out, he has to!

Not to mention, the major trend of change is also closely related to whether he can truly control the primordial world!

If Lao Tzu did not establish a teaching for humanity, how could he have taken away the human race's destiny from Nuwa?

If Nuwa's share of the human race's fortune does not decrease, wouldn't she lose control of one of the three elements of heaven, earth, and humanity?

Unable to control heaven, earth, and humanity, one's strength after achieving Dao integration is not as high as expected.

If he loses the other two rings, even if he fully attains Dao, he will still fall by one small realm!

That means they won't reach the peak of Hunyuan, but only the late stage of Hunyuan!

Hongjun could not tolerate this no matter what.

Therefore, he must show himself and fight a major battle with Taihao in order to rewrite the course of history and reclaim the destiny of the human race!

Taihao obviously knew this as well, which is why he wasn't surprised.

In the next instant, Taihao casually waved his hand, and the surrounding scenery shifted. He had arrived in the Chaos from the Primordial World!

Hongjun also arrived in the chaos!

"You're almost halfway to the Dao?"

Taihao raised an eyebrow and made this judgment by sensing the aura of the Heavenly Dao on Hongjun's body.

This means that Hongjun's cultivation level is slightly higher than his!

Fortunately, this is chaos, and the primordial power that Hongjun can draw upon is not inexhaustible.

Taihao still has some trump cards up his sleeve!

Therefore, even if Hongjun surpasses him in cultivation level, it's not a big deal.

Even Taihao harbored an extremely crazy idea.

If Hongjun were left here, wouldn't the prehistoric world...

So it's now under his control?

But that's obviously unrealistic.

Firstly, the possibility of leaving Hongjun behind forever is very small. After all, Laozi and others were able to entrust their primordial spirits to the Heavenly Dao after they became saints, so Hongjun could do even more so.

Secondly, even if there were a way to completely destroy Hongjun, the will of Heaven would not easily grant Taihao's wish.

They might choose another spokesperson!

such as……

Lao Tzu?

When Hongjun suddenly appeared, Taihao gladly accepted the challenge and went to Chaos. Laozi was first startled, and then stunned.

It's hard to imagine that someone who has already attained enlightenment would still experience such significant emotional fluctuations.

But that's just how it is; the unexpected turn of events was something he couldn't process for a while.

"Did the teacher really come out?"

"As the teacher once said, things don't usually happen unless there's a major shift in the trend..."

"In other words, the tide has turned?"

Upon realizing this, Lao Tzu gasped.

Even after becoming a saint, Lao Tzu still had no intention of challenging the idea that "the general trend is hard to defy," and even believed that the general trend could not be changed at all!

But what happened at that moment shattered his understanding.

Is the tide of history irreversible?

Now it's been changed!

On the other hand, Lao Tzu was also surprised by something.

"This old Daoist has no seals on me at all? Taihao...aren't you afraid I'll harm his disciple?"

At this moment, Huo Ling'er was still meditating and healing her injuries, not far from the human settlement.

But just as Lao Tzu was thinking this, another wave of overwhelming pressure descended.

I understood instantly.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Nuwa!"

"Fellow Daoist Taiqing, you have lingered near my human tribe for quite some time. Why have you not left yet?"

Nuwa, dressed in a moon-white palace gown, came from the Chaos Nuwa Palace beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens.

"This old Daoist is moved by the intelligence of the human race, who are born with Dao bodies, but lack suitable cultivation methods. Therefore, I wish to come here to pass on my Daoist lineage and, incidentally, help Fellow Daoist Nuwa to strengthen the human race's fortune!"

"Fellow Daoist, I appreciate your kindness, but let's skip the matter of spreading the Dao! Besides, doesn't my Tai Xuan Sect have cultivation methods? Do we need your help?" Nuwa raised an eyebrow and refused without hesitation.

"Fellow Daoist, you are mistaken. There is no distinction between high and low in Daoist methods, only between suitable and unsuitable ones! No matter how profound the methods of the Tai Xuan Sect are, they are useless if they are not suitable!" Laozi clearly did not want to give up. Having already become a saint, he could sense the importance of the human race in the dark!

"In that case, I'd like to see just how profound your method truly is!"

With that, Nuwa waved her jade hand, opening a passage to chaos, and proclaimed loudly.

"Do you dare to fight in the chaos?"

"What is there to be afraid of?"

Laozi was not afraid at all. In his view, he could not defeat Taihao, but he could certainly fight Nuwa to a standstill.

Suddenly, there were four Primordial Chaos beings in the primordial world, about to engage in a battle of magic in the chaos!

The river of fate has recorded almost everything from the primordial era.

Not only living beings, but also every drop of water, every grain of sand, and every wisp of spiritual energy!

It encompasses everything that existed in the primordial world.

After all, even ordinary water and sand can take on a different form!

Although the possibility is very small.

Only by attaining the Great Luo can one transcend the river of time.

Otherwise, one's fate can easily be altered by others.

For example, Haotian and Yaochi, the two attendants under Hongjun, were able to take human form in the same era as the second batch of innate deities because Hongjun altered their destinies, that is, enlightened them.

So even though Haotian and Yaochi's fates were altered, the outcome was still quite good.

Even though his original essence was damaged due to premature transformation, he also benefited from the misfortune and became Hongjun's attendant.

This position is second only to Hongjun's disciples, a position that many Zixiao guests could only dream of.

While altering one's fate may have some benefits, in most cases, it brings not only no advantages but also countless disadvantages.

And this downside can happen unintentionally.

Without escaping the river of fate, one cannot even perceive it!

On the other hand, even if one becomes a Great Immortal, one may not be able to truly escape the control of fate.

Faced with absolute power, even a quasi-saint, or a supreme treasure like the Chaos Bell, will be affected by fate!

At this moment, when Taihao unleashed a heaven-opening divine power that shattered the River of Destiny, everything in the entire primordial world was affected.

Their fate was rewritten at this moment!

Even those with great fortune, such as Yuanshi and Tongtian, are no exception!

Looking across the entire prehistoric world, perhaps only Nuwa and Laozi, two primordial cultivators, could completely escape the impact of the collapse of the River of Destiny.

Even so, they may still feel lost as a result.

Because the River of Destiny is one of the two powers by which the Heavenly Dao controls all living beings in the primordial world.

Without this river, the Heavenly Dao's control over the primordial world will be significantly weakened! The primordial world will also undergo some unknown changes as a result!

What happened?

The battle between Taihao and Hongjun was so fierce?

To the point that even the river of fate collapsed?
