Primordial Era: With unparalleled comprehension, I pioneered a divine kingdom of faith.

Chapter 108 Bait

The fact that this saint was so easily suppressed seems simple, but it is actually quite simple. Even if seven saints had great abilities, they couldn't unleash them.

This is normal. Among the seven beings of the same realm, who can truly be weaker than whom?

Fighting opponents of higher levels is manageable at first, but as cultivation progresses, the three thousand great paths converge, and even with differences in combat power, the true outcome is no longer determined.

Once you've all reached this level, there's no longer any question of who's stronger or weaker; they're all basically the same. It's not difficult for seven saints of the same level to suppress you.

They're all saints. If you, a single saint, could be stronger than seven saints, that's just nonsense.

As one progresses through the later stages of cultivation, the so-called ability to fight opponents of higher levels becomes a joke.

The gap between a saint and someone below the saint level is absolutely insurmountable. No matter how many quasi-saints there are, for a saint, destroying you is just a matter of a single thought.

If a quasi-saint were to actually rebel against a saint, it would be pure nonsense. Otherwise, wouldn't the saying "all beings below the saint level are ants" be a joke?

The Six Sages and Emperor Fang returned to the primordial world.

"I have something to discuss with you," Lao Tzu said slowly, looking at the Emperor, the two Western Saints, and others.

"Good." Di Fang nodded with a smile.

The other sages followed Lao Tzu back to Shouyang Mountain, to Lao Tzu's Daoist temple.

"You are all aware of the decline of the primordial world," Lao Tzu said slowly.

"The decline of the world is all predetermined," Zhunti said in a deep voice. The decline of the primordial world was also an inevitable event.

This can be seen from the creatures that have emerged from the primordial world.

In the beginning of time, the world was a wild and untamed place. Ferocious beasts and the three primordial races dominated the primordial world. It can be called the era of primordial gods and demons.

The ferocious beast race is a natural destroyer, formed from the flesh and blood of the Chaos Demon God, while the three innate races are beings born in the beginning.

In addition, there were other innate supernatural beings who were born, including some notorious villains.

For example, there are the Yin-Yang Ancestor, the Five Elements Ancestor, the Qiankun Ancestor, and the Three Heavens, the Azure Heaven, the Blue Heaven, the Yellow Heaven, and other famous beings from the primordial era.

These people were born before the Three Pure Ones and the Two Sages of the West.

After the Dragon and Phoenix Calamity, the Three Guns and the Two Western Saints were born, as were Fuxi and Nuwa, Dijun and Taiyi, the Styx Kunpeng, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, and so on.

They all belong to those with innate supernatural powers.

This era was also the most brilliant era in the primordial world.

However, after the Lich Wars, no more innate great supernatural beings were born. Was it because of the birth of the human race?

No, it's because the primordial world can no longer nurture beings with innate supernatural powers.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for a person with innate supernatural powers not to be born.

The reason for this is that the primordial world was in decline and had inevitably begun its path to decay.

The world is like a cake, and the living beings that are born need to eat. The cake will eventually run out, and the world will eventually perish.

"Although the world has its predetermined course, I do not wish for it to eventually reach that point. Are you all willing to return to nothingness along with the world?" Lao Tzu said slowly.

The other sages frowned.

If they had become saints on their own, that would be fine, but they didn't. They were bound to the Primordial Heavenly Dao. If the Primordial World disappeared, they would also perish with it. There was no other possibility for them to exist.

"Then how can we prevent the demise of the primordial world?" Jieyin asked Laozi in a deep voice.

"It's simple to avoid the demise of the Primordial World. Since there are living beings in the Primordial World, there will inevitably be internal strife. The resources of the Primordial World are not infinite and will eventually disappear completely. What we need to do is plunder other worlds," Di Fang said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing Di Fang's words, the other sages' eyes gleamed with a sharp light.

Di Fang is right. Devouring the origins of other worlds to strengthen the primordial world is a good choice.

The great calamity of the primordial world, to some extent, slows down the time it takes for the primordial world to perish.

Each great calamity is accompanied by the death of a large number of living beings.

These dead beings will return to the world, alleviating the internal strife in the primordial world. If the primordial world is to exist forever, then we must find a way to reduce its internal strife.

Therefore, using other worlds to compensate for the demise of the primordial world is the only option.

Otherwise, the primordial world will one day perish because of this, which is inevitable.

"Other worlds." The other saints' eyes gleamed.

As the saying goes, "It's better to die for your friend than for yourself," and even saints aren't exactly good people. In this kind of situation, there's no real distinction between good and bad.

"How do we find other worlds?" Zhunti asked slowly, posing a crucial question.

In the boundless void, worlds abound like starlight, but the distance between each world is unknowable.

Moreover, there are quite a few beings like her hidden in the darkness; these are beings that feed on the world.

"There's no need to search; over the long course of time, worlds will come closer to the primordial state," Di Fang said slowly.

Upon hearing Di Fang's words, the other sages nodded in agreement. They could afford to wait this long, especially since the primordial world was currently devouring the essence of a Ze Ren.

We can definitely afford to wait that time.

"Moreover, we can also lay out a trap," Di Fang said slowly.

The other sages had a glint of shrewdness in their eyes.

They were not unaware that the primordial world was in decline; knowing it was one thing, but figuring out how to resolve it was another.

If they rely solely on themselves, solving the problem won't be that simple.

"However, right now, we still need to carefully plan for the future of the primordial world," Lao Tzu said slowly.

Upon hearing Laozi's words, Di Fang said with a slight smile, "The affairs of the primordial world are not for us sages to interfere with. How about letting our disciples decide the outcome?"

Upon hearing Di Fang's words, Zhunti and Jieyin remained silent, Yuanshi frowned, Tongtian wore a hint of joy on his face, while Laozi and Nuwa were indifferent.

"If we sages are allowed to interfere in the primordial world, the final result will be the collapse of the primordial world. The sages fighting each other in the primordial world has already exceeded the limits that the primordial world can bear," Di Fang said in a deep voice.

The difference between a saint and a quasi-saint may seem to be only one rank, but in reality, the difference is infinite.

"Whatever the matter, let your disciples let your strength speak for itself. If you lose, you lose. If you are not as skilled as others, just accept it. That way, we won't lose face. What do you all think?" Di Fang said slowly, looking at the other saints.

The other sages had different thoughts about the Emperor's proposal, but Laozi and Nuwa didn't feel much about it.

After all, they don't have many disciples. Laozi only has one direct disciple, Xuandu, who can now be said to be the number one person in the three religions and has already stepped into the quasi-saint realm.

Nuwa has ten Golden Crows under her command, but it's still a long way off; they've only just reached the Great Luo realm.

They have no objection to a fight.

As for Zhunti and Jieyin, it doesn't matter either. The reason they don't care is because they live in the far west and rarely have conflicts with the other saints of the Three Pure Ones in the east, so they don't care.

Tongtian agreed with Difang's words. He had many disciples, including some who were quite powerful.
