Primordial Era: Unparalleled Comprehension, Starting from Becoming a Disciple of the Three Immortals

Chapter 108 The Price!

Hongjun Daozu looked at Chen Qing and slowly spoke.

"Fellow Daoist, you have already killed Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi once. I beg you to let this matter rest for my sake, is that alright?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing's face showed a hint of unease. He looked at Hongjun Daozu with some confusion.

"Dao Ancestor, is this how it ends? Dao Ancestor, given your status, you've stepped forward today for the sake of Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi. I can't..."

Upon hearing Chen Qing's words, Hongjun Daozu immediately transmitted his voice to him.

"Fellow Daoist may not know, although the Primordial World is a Great Thousand World, it is ultimately not an Immeasurable Great World. It is quite difficult to advance to an Immeasurable Great World."

"However, the vast world is subject to calamities, which occur every few epochs."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing looked at Dao Ancestor Hongjun with a puzzled expression in his eyes.

"A great calamity?"

Hongjun Daozu nodded in agreement upon hearing Chen Qing's words.

"Indeed, it is a great calamity. All things in heaven and earth have their own destiny, and the innate spiritual energy also has its own destiny. There are countless living beings in the great world. Joy, anger, sorrow, love, hatred and so on, and the great calamity is generated by the interaction of many factors."

"When living beings cultivate, they only know how to take, but never think of giving back to heaven and earth; when living beings fight, there are many negative energies such as killing intent, evil intent, resentment, blood energy, and death energy."

"These negative energies gather together, and although there is a Netherworld Blood Sea, how could it possibly contain them all? Over time, they will slowly accumulate, and this is the origin of the great calamity."

"The great calamity of heaven and earth is to expel all these negative energies and to allow the primordial world to develop."

"If there were no great calamity of heaven and earth, then if it continues to accumulate, there will be immeasurable calamities."

"The immeasurable calamity is the most terrifying calamity. I'm afraid that by then, the primordial world will no longer exist."

"At that time, not to mention ordinary living beings, even saints will find it difficult to survive."

"This great calamity is the Lich Calamity, a calamity dominated by the demon race and the witch race. With the deaths of Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, the calamity will cease to exist. Even I cannot choose which race to fight against the witch race for the time being."

"Therefore, Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi cannot be completely dead at this time. They must wait until after the great calamity. At that time, you can do whatever you want, fellow Daoist."

After saying this, Hongjun Daozu looked at Chen Qing and transmitted his voice again.

"Now that you have condensed your future self, you should be able to see the future. You should know the final fate of the Lich and Demon races."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing nodded in agreement.

When he condensed his future self, he saw a glimpse of the future.

He only saw the great war between the Lich and Demon races, the collapse of the Heavenly Pillar, and the deaths of most of the high-ranking members of the Lich and Demon races, but he did not pay much attention to it.

Upon hearing what Hongjun Daozu said, he no longer hesitated, but looked at Hongjun Daozu and began to speak.

"Dao Ancestor, you are exaggerating. Since you do not wish for Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi to die completely, I will spare them this time."

"However, after all, the demon race slaughtered hundreds of millions of humans, so compensation must be paid. After all, the human race suffered a genocide, and now only a few million humans remain."

"From hundreds of millions of humans to only a few million, so many humans were slaughtered by the demon race. It would be unreasonable not to offer any compensation."

Upon hearing this, Hongjun Daozu's eyes revealed a look of satisfaction. He then glanced at the Six Sages of Heavenly Dao, and then looked at Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi.

After pondering for a moment, Hongjun Daozu looked at Chen Qing.

"What you say is true, fellow Daoist. The lives of billions of humans should be compensated. Otherwise, it would seem that I, the Dao Ancestor, am being unfair."

After saying this, Hongjun Daozu glanced at the place where the human race was located, and then withdrew his gaze.

"The demon race has slaughtered hundreds of millions of humans without authorization, causing divine wrath and human resentment. As a special punishment, the demon race has been stripped of 20% of its fortune, which will be returned to the human race as compensation."

As soon as the Dao Ancestor Hongjun finished speaking, all living beings in the primordial world heard his voice.

At this moment, all the humans, regardless of where they were, heard this voice and all knelt down on the ground.

"Thank you, Dao Ancestor Xie Hongjun, for upholding justice for our human race."

After saying this, Hongjun Daozu looked at Chen Qing with a questioning look in his eyes.

"Fellow Daoist, what do you think of this punishment?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing nodded and smiled.

"The Dao Ancestor has spoken too much. I will accept any punishment imposed by the Dao Ancestor."

Chen Qing spoke very politely, after all, he had not yet cultivated to the level of a mythical Great Luo Golden Immortal, and he had to show the respect due to Hongjun Daozu.

Moreover, he is the grand-disciple of the Tongtian Sect Master. If we really talk about it, Hongjun Daozu is his ancestor!

Hongjun Daozu smiled with satisfaction upon hearing Chen Qing's words.

After all, Chen Qing's future achievements are no less than his own. Although he has not yet grown up, he is very pleased with the respect Chen Qing shows him.

"In that case, let's end things here."

After Hongjun Daozu finished speaking, he used his great supernatural powers to save the true spirits of Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi from the past.

Under the Dao Ancestor's divine power, Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi's true spirits reappeared. Then, Dao Ancestor Hongjun waved his hand and released a ball of Heavenly Dao power, which completely revived the two.

After Hongjun Daozu finished doing all this, he looked at the Six Sages of Heavenly Dao, Dijun, and Donghuang Taiyi.

"Six Sages, return to your respective dojos. Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, you too, return to the Heavenly Court."

After Hongjun Daozu finished speaking, he looked at Chen Qing and then slowly opened his mouth.

"The calamity of humanity has passed. From now on, no race in the primordial world may indiscriminately slaughter humans."

Hongjun Daozu's words directly utilized the power of the Heavenly Dao, ensuring that countless beings in the prehistoric world heard them.

Upon hearing these words, countless beings in the primordial world bowed respectfully towards the sky.

After saying this, Hongjun Daozu looked at Chen Qing.

"Fellow Daoist, it is time for me to return to Zixiao Palace."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing immediately bowed to Hongjun Daozu.

"Dao Ancestor, please wait."

Upon hearing this, Dao Ancestor Hongjun nodded with a smile, then vanished and returned to Zixiao Palace.

"Respectfully bidding farewell to our teacher (respectfully bidding farewell to our grandmaster, respectfully bidding farewell to the Daoist patriarch)!"

At this moment, countless living beings in this world bid farewell to the Dao Ancestor.

After everyone had finished their greetings, Taiqing Laozi glanced at them and spoke slowly.

"Now that things are settled here, I should return to Shouyang Mountain."

After Taiqing Laozi finished speaking, Yuanshi Tianzun also nodded in agreement.

"Since my elder brother is leaving, then I should also return to Kunlun Mountain."

As Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun departed, a host of other sages also began to leave.

"Respectfully bidding farewell to the Sage Taiqing, the Sage Yuanshi, the Sage Tongtian, the Sage Nuwa, the Sage Jieyin, and the Sage Zhunti."

Chen Qing watched the six saints leave, but only bowed once and said nothing.

Chen Qing's strength is undeniable; the fact that he could even offer a simple bow is already the greatest respect he could show to everyone. If Chen Qing were to speak, the Six Saints probably wouldn't dare to accept it.

Didn't you hear that Dao Ancestor addressed Chen Qing as "fellow Daoist"? This shows that Chen Qing's strength is already no weaker than that of Dao Ancestor.

Upon seeing the six sages depart, Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi also headed directly towards the Heavenly Court.

They didn't want to stay here a moment longer.

As everyone departed, the powerful beings also left, and even the spectators dispersed.
