Primordial Era: I, Tongtian, will slay all enemies!

After Tongtian finished speaking, Hongjun, Nuwa, and Houtu nodded, and Hongjun then began to introduce the future development of the prehistoric world.

"The will of Heaven dictates that the West will prosper greatly; the next great eon will be the Journey to the West eon..."

The moment the words "Great Tribulation" were uttered, everyone's breathing became rapid, and cold sweat poured down their backs.

Seeing that everyone seemed somewhat uncomfortable, Hongjun explained, "In the past, the conflict between the Dao and the Demonic Realm shattered the Western Continent. Therefore, this great calamity is for the great prosperity of the West, and it will not be as dangerous as the previous calamities, but rather a relatively peaceful one!"

After Hongjun's explanation, the huge weight in everyone's hearts slowly lifted, while Tongtian winked at Duobao, signaling him to hurry up and grab the merit.

Upon receiving the message, Duobao immediately stood up and bowed to the four people. "Ancestor Hongjun, the West is flourishing, and the transformation of the Western religion into Buddhism is the inevitable trend of Heaven. However, there can only be one Buddhism in the prehistoric world. Therefore, I propose that Buddhism and the Western religion each take one character: the character 'Buddha' for Buddhism and the character 'religion' for the Western religion. I humbly request your permission, Ancestor!"

Upon hearing this, Hongjun rolled his eyes instantly, while Zhunti and Jieyin looked as if they had eaten shit and began to curse.

"You're talking nonsense! Your Buddhism has nothing but stolen the fruits of my Western religion, and now you're so shameless!"

"Fellow Daoist Zhunti, you are mistaken. The Western Sect and Xiniu Hezhou have a connection with Buddhism, which is why we took one character from each. This is the general trend of Heaven, and as a sage of Heaven, you should naturally follow this trend!"

Duobao's series of punches left Zhunti speechless. Hongjun, seeing that Zhunti was silent, looked at him with a look of disappointment and frustration.

"Alas, originally the Western Sect would have withdrawn from the Xuanmen after the Investiture of the Gods, established eight hundred side sects and three thousand unorthodox paths, and renamed the Western Sect as Buddhism. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, everything has deviated from the original trajectory. Therefore, the Western Sect should be the one to flourish this time." After Hongjun finished speaking, he glanced at Tongtian.

"Grandmaster Hongjun, you are mistaken. The general trend of Heaven is for Buddhism to flourish in the West. Therefore, I intend to relocate Buddhism to the Western world, which is in accordance with the general trend of Heaven!"

Zhunti slapped his thigh and stood up from his seat. "You really have no shame! What kind of person are you! It's clearly my Western religion that's flourishing, yet you insist that Buddhism is flourishing. It's utterly absurd!"

"What are you saying, fellow Daoist? The great trend of Heaven is that Buddhism is flourishing, not that your Western religion is? What do you four Dao Ancestors say?" Then Duobao bowed to Tongtian, Hongjun and the other two.

Tongtian, Nuwa, and Houtu nodded in agreement, and Hongjun, seeing this, could not say much more, so he could only try to persuade them further.

"Why not compromise on the feud between Western religions and Buddhism? In the great Journey to the West, the four disciples will travel to the West to seek the true scriptures. The final choice will be left to those who go on the journey. Which religion, Western religion or Buddhism, is truly superior? What do you think?"

Tongtian sat in the high seat and frantically winked at Duobao. After all, the two were master and disciple with a deep bond. As soon as Tongtian blinked, Duobao understood Tongtian's intention.

"Ahem, no, Your Majesty! The flourishing of Buddhism is the inevitable trend of Heaven! We can simply move Buddhism to the West. Your Majesty, you must not go against the will of Heaven!"

Seeing Duobao's tearful performance, Di Xin, Minghe, and the others followed suit, saying, "We beg Ancestor Hongjun to reconsider!"

"You...you all!"

"Alright, that's enough. Minor trends can be changed, but major trends cannot. Let's give the Western Sect a chance, after all, those two have also contributed to the primordial world!"

"We urge Dao Ancestor Hongjun to reconsider!"

Hongjun helplessly cast a pleading look at Tongtian. Tongtian sighed after seeing this, "Alas, so be it. There is always a glimmer of hope in everything. Let us do as Fellow Daoist Hongjun says. Duobao, you must not tarnish the reputation of Buddhism!"

"Yes, teacher!"

"However, this great calamity is very likely to trigger other chain reactions. After the Journey to the West calamity, there will be the Buddha-Demon calamity."

"May I ask, teacher, is the Great Calamity of Buddha and Demon related to Rahu?"

Seeing that Duobao was so talkative, Zhunti also inquired, "Teacher, could it be that Luo Hou is really going to invade the prehistoric world? If Luo Hou joins forces with other races, wouldn't the prehistoric world be in danger?"

When Zhunti said that Rahu had ties with foreign tribes, the God-Slaying Spear immediately flew out of Di Xin's body and stabbed at Zhunti.

"Di Xin, you bastard! How dare you attempt to kill a saint in front of the Dao Ancestor!"

Zhunti hurriedly took out the Seven Treasures Tree to defend himself, while Jieyin also took out the Six Pure Bamboos to assist him.

Hongjun sighed, waved his hand, and the God-Slaying Spear returned to Di Xin's presence, saying, "Fellow Daoist Luo Hou, stop making trouble!"

Di Xin looked at Tongtian with a puzzled expression, while the God-Slaying Spear emitted a plume of black smoke. From the smoke appeared a tall man in a black robe, glaring angrily at Zhunti with a displeased expression.

"You bastard! Although I am a demon, I am still a primordial being from the primordial world. How could I possibly collude with foreign enemies? Besides, their target is the entire Chaos, not just a small primordial world! Fool!"

When the self-slaying spear went out of control and pierced Zhunti, everyone became vigilant. After all, this was the former Demon Ancestor, the ruthless person who stirred up the three races of the prehistoric world, so they had to be on guard.

"You...you were killed by our teacher long ago, and your last remaining demonic energy was sealed away by my senior brother and me on Mount Sumeru. How could you reappear in the world now!"

Luo Hou looked at Jieyin and Zhunti as if they were idiots, merely curling his lip and completely disregarding them, choosing to let it go.

In contrast, Duobao was extremely respectful to Luohou, saying, "Please enlighten me, Senior Luohou, why did you appear within the Heavenly Emperor's God-Slaying Spear?"

"Hongjun, look at Tongtian's disciples, and then look at yours! The difference is like heaven and earth! Only Taiqing Laozi is passable; the other three are nothing but monstrosities!"

"Since you are so respectful, then I will explain to you. I cultivate the demonic path, which is all-pervasive. Any living being in this world with evil thoughts can become a demon. As long as evil thoughts exist, the demonic path will endure. Therefore, you must hold fast to your true nature and not let me find any loopholes. Hehehe!"

"Enough, Fellow Daoist Luo Hou, stop spreading alarmist rumors. With a formidable enemy at hand, it's best to complete the Great Tribulation first and enhance the strength of the Primordial World!"

Luo Hou remained hostile towards Hongjun, showing no regard for Hongjun and his disciples, but was extremely friendly towards Tongtian and his disciples, who were always trying to trick Hongjun.

"Tch, old codger, do you need to remind me? We can settle our scores later, but those scumbags, I won't let them get away with it!"

"Fellow Daoist Luo Hou, have those people come looking for you? They should also be involved in the demonic path, right? How do you compare to them?"

Luo Hou turned to look at Tongtian, somewhat embarrassed.
