I, the primordial ancestor, started out as a useless cult and a useless saint.

Chapter 148 The Saints were given the opportunity to take on the tribulation ahead of time.

Hongjun was greatly alarmed. He quickly calculated with his fingers and realized that the saints had been tricked. In an instant, his anger surged to the heavens.

"Ancestor of Humanity, you wretched creature—!"

With a roar, the Purple Cloud Palace trembled violently, and a ripple spread out from the endless chaos, instantly cutting across billions of miles.

"What's wrong, sir?"

"I don't know, they probably got tricked by the Ancestor of Humanity again."

The two young Taoist boys at the door were talking amongst themselves, but the next moment they fell silent in fear.

Only Consort Pingxin, who was suppressed outside Zixiao Palace, smiled slightly:

"Hehe, it seems that the Ancestor of Humanity's revenge has arrived. I wonder if Hongjun can withstand it."

At that moment, a sudden gust of wind blew by, and Hongjun's figure had already arrived outside the Zixiao Palace.

"All the saints shall immediately proceed to the Purple Cloud Palace."

A roar pierced through the chaos and resounded in the ears of all the saints, but the Tongtian Sect Leader was unaware of it. It seems that Hongjun has completely given up on the Tongtian Sect Leader.

Above the primordial wilderness, all the holy beings of the heavens gritted their teeth in anger.

The power of the Lich Calamity should have dissipated with the end of the calamity, but it was collected by the Ancestor of Humanity and eventually merged into the destiny of the human race.

However, after being absorbed by them, it took root within their Three Flowers. Just as they were getting angry, Hongjun's voice came over, and the saints immediately tensed up.

"Brother, how is it now? This damned power of the Great Calamity is really hard to get rid of."

Even Yuanshi Tianzun, who had exhausted a great deal of merit and fortune, could not break free, let alone Taiqing, Nuwa, and the two Western Saints.

"There's no other way for now, so let's head to Zixiao Palace. Maybe our teacher already has an idea."

Several streaks of light flashed beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens and appeared outside the Purple Cloud Palace in the next instant.

"Greetings, teacher."

Upon entering the Purple Cloud Palace and settling down, all the saints in the heavens sensed that something bad was about to happen, seeing only Hongjun's furious expression.

After a long while, Hongjun finally sighed and opened his eyes.

"We've all been tricked by the Ancestor of Humanity."

A long sigh revealed endless sorrow. The saints of the heavens were alright, but even Hongjun, the Dao Ancestor, was tricked, and he really lost face.

Moreover, he was the ancestor of the Heavenly Dao, and should have been second only to the emperor. It seems that he had overestimated himself.

The saints and sages of the heavens also began to despondent after hearing these words.

"Teacher, this damned Ancestor of Humanity used some unknown means to gather the power of the Lich Calamity and integrate it into the human race's fortune. After we absorbed it, we were tricked. Please enlighten us, Teacher."

At this moment, the Sage Taiqing could not care about anything else. After speaking, he bowed to Hongjun, and the Primordial Heavenly Lord also said:

"Teacher, the power of this lich calamity cannot be offset by merit. If it is forcibly removed, the three flowers above our heads will be in danger, and in the end, the fate of the human race will be kicked away."

"That's right, teacher. It's like a stubborn stain stuck to our primordial spirits, impossible to remove."

Nuwa was furious. The thought of being tricked by the Ancestor of Humanity time and time again filled her with murderous intent, but she was also afraid. What if she was really beaten to the point of the Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man?

The two Western Saints were in an even worse situation. Not only did their three flowers fail to reunite, but they were also tricked by the Ancestor of Humanity. At this moment, they were already crying their eyes out.

"Quiet."

Hongjun spoke softly, then continued:

"This is an open conspiracy. By incorporating the power of the Lich King's calamity into the human race's destiny right in front of you, the Ancestor of Humanity is certain that we will take away the human race's destiny, and that's why he's using this opportunity to trick you."

It was indeed an open conspiracy, which all the sages knew about at the time, but they never expected it to be this serious.

"Teacher, how can this be resolved?"

Hongjun sighed and said:

"It's unsolvable. The power of the Lich Calamity should have dissipated. If the Ancestor of Humanity had used the power of the Lich Calamity, the Heavenly Dao would have returned, and the power of the Lich Calamity would have been shattered. However, the human race took advantage of the loophole."

When the Heavenly Dao returned, the power of the Lich Calamity had already entered the bodies of all the saints and become one with them. If the Heavenly Dao wanted to shatter the power of the Lich Calamity, it would have to kill the Heavenly Dao Saints. This would have violated the rules of the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, the Heavenly Dao had no choice but to acknowledge the existence of the Lich Calamity. It was truly a variable.

It's just that the Heavenly Dao and Heavenly Secrets have been in chaos for so long that the Sages have been unable to calculate it. Then Hongjun said:

"The Ancestor of Humanity has already made the choice for you. You will inevitably enter this great calamity and cannot escape it. The slightest carelessness will result in your death. Even if you are Heavenly Saints, you cannot avoid it."

In an instant, the saints were startled. Didn't this mean that the Ancestor of Humanity would definitely kill them once?

"Damn it, this is too much! That wicked Ancestor of Humanity, how dare a mere ant presume to kill a Saint!"

Yuanshi Tianzun gritted his teeth. He valued his reputation the most, but upon hearing that he would be killed by the Ancestor of Humanity, he was filled with boundless rage.

"The Ancestor of Humanity is truly lawless. If I could, I would slap him to death. He's a real bastard!"

Even the Taiqing Sage, who advocated non-interference in governance, swore, but since the Ancestor of Humanity possessed the Creation Lotus, they dared not kill him.

Nuwa was so angry that her chest heaved, like waves three thousand feet high.

As for the two Western Saints? At this moment, they had no mind to speak. The three flowers on their heads had not yet gathered, and they had not yet recovered from the consequences of the backlash of the last great kalpa. As a result, they were going to be killed again in this great kalpa. Damn it, Buddha.

After a long while, the saints finally calmed down and asked:

"Teacher, how does the power of this great calamity compare to the Lich Calamity?"

Upon hearing this question, the other sages also became expectant, only to see Hongjun slowly say:

"Strong, even stronger than the Lich King's Cataclysm."

hiss--.

The saints gasped, and then Hongjun continued:

"You have absorbed the fortune of the human race, but the Ancestor of Humanity incorporated the Lich Tribulation into it, making good use of the human race's fortune to nurture the Lich Tribulation. Now the Lich Tribulation has entered your Three Flower Primordial Spirits. The stronger your cultivation, the stronger your power to withstand the tribulation."

Hongjun glanced slowly at Taiqing and Yuanshi, then continued:

"The higher one's cultivation level, the greater the chance of suffering physical damage during a calamity; conversely, the lower one's cultivation level, the less damage one will suffer."

Forehead.

Upon hearing this, the Sage Taiqing and the Primordial Heavenly Venerable became anxious. After the Lich War, the Sage Taiqing and the Primordial Heavenly Venerable were the strongest, except for the Master Tongtian. Now, upon hearing this result, they were extremely worried.

No matter what, I have to die once? But the price of dying once is not small, especially the price of being killed by the Ancestor of Humanity.

For a moment, the Supreme Saint and the Primordial Heavenly Venerable were both feeling incredibly stifled.

On the other hand, Nuwa breathed a slight sigh of relief. Her own strength was already low, so at worst she wouldn't improve it. Even if she gained merit, she could just store it away for the time being. She glanced at Taiqing Saint and Yuanshi Tianzun and felt very fortunate.

As for the two Western Saints, they were already dispirited and prepared to be tricked, but when they heard these words, they instantly became happy.

As expected, there is always a way out. The two of them, who are the weakest, did not reunite and their strength was at its lowest. It seems that after the tribulation, they will only be able to scratch an itch.

"May I ask, teacher, who should we seek to avert this calamity?"
