Primordial Era: When a Good Guy Awakens a Morally Unethical System

Just then, Nuwa and Yuanshi arrived from the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Yuanshi arrived at Tongtian's side, wanting to help.

Hongyun said coldly, "Get out of the way! Don't get in my way!"

Hongyun gets angry whenever he sees Yuanshi. He was nowhere to be seen just now, but he came to share the merits after receiving orders from the Dao Ancestor. Hasn't he seen that the situation is already under control?

Yuanshi's face darkened instantly, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent as he looked at Hongyun. He had never been treated like this since he took human form. Hongyun, how dare you!

*Ding! One million anger points have been credited to your account!*

Tongtian was stunned. This was the first time he had ever heard Hongyun curse anyone other than Jieyin and Zhunti, and it was also the first time he had ever heard his second brother being cursed. Nothing like this had ever happened before; they had always gotten along quite well!

Nuwa, unaware of the situation above, saw that Gonggong and Zhurong had to keep a close watch on the mountain pillars to prevent them from collapsing again. After some thought, she took out the innate treasure, the gourd vine, and used magic to bind the two sections of the pillars together.

"Senior brothers, I have been ordered by our master to refine the Five-Colored Divine Stone to repair the Heavenly Cave. Before the refinement is successful, I ask that you temporarily hold back the flood to prevent it from ravaging the prehistoric world."

The atmosphere among the three in the sky was quite tense. They all heard Nuwa's words, but none of them responded to her.

Nuwa, eager to refine the five-colored stones, failed to notice the unusual behavior of the three people in the sky. Instead, she focused on Gonggong and Zhurong and gave them instructions:

"You two, keep an eye on Buzhou Mountain, and don't let it collapse again."

Gonggong and Zhurong nodded vigorously at the same time, and then hugged the mountain pillar again. Even though the mountain pillar was now tied together with gourd vines, they did not need to exert much strength.

The Primordial Lord of Heaven stared at Hongyun for a while. Seeing that Hongyun still treated him the same way, he was instantly enraged. He took out the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, preparing to make a move and let Hongyun know who he had just angered. Even if they were both saints, he, as the direct descendant of Pangu, was undoubtedly the highest in status.

Tongtian quickly stepped between the two. The sky was still leaking; if the two saints started fighting, the prehistoric world would be completely doomed.

Just then, a powerful force descended from the Thirty-Three Heavens, covering the gap in the sky and allowing Hongyun and the other person to rest.

A majestic voice echoed from the Thirty-Third Heaven: "Sages are forbidden from private feuds. The Three Pure Ones are assisting Nuwa in refining the Nuwa Stone to mend the celestial cave. Hongyun, come to Zixiao Palace to receive instruction!"

As Hongyun left, he felt Yuanshi's gaze upon him and gave him a disdainful look.

[Ding! 500,000 Rage Points have been credited to your account!]

Hongyun was truly shocked. He had always thought that Jieyin and Zhunti were petty enough, giving out large amounts of anger points every time. He never expected that compared to Yuanshi, they were nothing. Yuanshi truly lived up to his reputation as a direct descendant of Pangu; his pettiness was unparalleled in the primordial world.

In the Purple Cloud Palace of the Thirty-Third Heaven, Hongyun bowed to Hongjun as always: "Greetings, Dao Ancestor."

Hongjun: "Hmm"

"Tell me, why do you treat Yuanshi this way?" Hongjun's voice was unreadable, exactly the same as usual, showing neither comfort for Hongyun nor favoritism towards Yuanshi.

Hongyun hesitated for a moment, only a moment, before speaking frankly: "As a primordial sage, shouldn't I care for and protect those who believe in and worship me?"

Hongyun believed that as a sage of the Heavenly Dao, one should be benevolent to all living beings in the primordial world, rather than assessing the situation, analyzing the pros and cons, and treating the beings of the primordial world as tools or ants.

"Faced with the devastation of the primordial world and the displacement of humanity, Yuanshi didn't think of providing aid, but instead cared about whether he could accumulate merit. If there was no merit, would he simply not save them?"

"Perhaps Yuanshi has no independent thought and only wishes to obey the will of Heaven. But Hongyun does. Hongyun's path is different from his, so they cannot work together."
