The people of the primordial era ruled the heavens and earth.

"The world is bustling, all for profit; the world is in turmoil, all for gain."

"There is never love or hate without a reason. Hongjun did this for his own benefit."

"Otherwise, do you really think he's that good?"

"I impart my sacred teachings to you with utmost selflessness."

Taiqing Laozi remained silent, unable to help but ask himself a question in his heart.

If I were the first to achieve sainthood, would I pass on all my knowledge without reservation?

The answer is yes, but not like Hongjun, who preached in three separate sessions.

He would be very direct, condensing all his knowledge into a scripture and engraving it on a barren mountain in the vast wilderness.

How much one can learn depends on one's own comprehension.

Thinking of this, Taiqing Laozi sighed softly and looked at Qin Tian, ​​asking, "Thank you for your explanation, fellow Daoist."

"But I still can't understand why Hongjun did this?"

"Luck." Qin Tian didn't hide anything and gave the answer directly.

Upon hearing this, Taiqing Laozi became even more puzzled: "If it's for the sake of destiny, then why doesn't he unify heaven and earth?"

"Wouldn't this be faster and more direct?"

Qin Tian smiled and remarked, "This is the brilliance of Hongjun."

"Fellow Daoist Taiqing, let me ask you, between your teacher who imparts the Dao and your superior, whom do you respect more?"

"I see." Taiqing Laozi looked relieved, but he soon found himself in a dead end again.

Although Qin Tian said so much, he still didn't reveal Hongjun's motives for doing these things.

"Fellow Daoist Qin Tian, ​​since we've already come this far..."

"Why should we keep things hidden between us?"

"Wouldn't it be better to just be straightforward?"

Qin Tian smiled. Taiqing Laozi's words were very simple.

But if he listened, he would be a complete idiot.

The answer is simple: Hongjun wanted to steal the fortune and destiny of the primordial world so that he could break through the limitations of the Saint Realm and achieve the Great Dao.

But if I told you that, who would believe me?

Not to mention that the image of Hongjun Daozu has already deeply penetrated people's hearts.

Take, for example, the achievement of the Great Dao.

That was an achievement that even the Father God Pangu couldn't accomplish.

Hongjun is nothing but an eel; what makes him so special?

"Fellow Daoist Taiqing, you are mistaken!"

"It's good to be completely open about things, but you lose a lot of the fun that comes with it."

"Don't you think it would be quite fun to have a little battle with the Dao Ancestor?"

Taiqing Laozi was speechless, unsure of what to say to Qin Tian.

It's very interesting, but it's also like walking a tightrope at high altitude. If you don't step on the right step, you will fall to the ground.

Even if you have fellow practitioners around you, it's useless.

However, Laozi Taiqing did not come here for this reason alone, so he did not mention it again.

He then cupped his hands in a gesture of respect and said, "I have a request that you would be kind of, and I hope you will grant it."

Seeing that Taiqing Laozi was so humble, Qin Tian knew that Taiqing Laozi must want to spread his teachings among the human race and establish a religion to become a saint.

Qin Tian had no objection to this.

However, he didn't want to be a stepping stone for Hongjun.

"Fellow Daoist Taiqing, I can grant your request, but in exchange."

"Fellow Daoist, please speak. As long as it is within my power, I will not refuse."

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need to overthink it." Qin Tian smiled slightly. "What I need you to do is very simple."

"I hope that you, fellow Daoist, can write your own scripture and pass it on to the human race, instead of Hongjun's Huangting Scripture."

Upon hearing this, Taiqing Laozi's face was filled with sorrow.

He longed to write his own scripture.

But scriptures are not so easy to write, especially when they are one's own.

How is this any different from analyzing the Great Dao?

But Laozi Taiqing still nodded in agreement.

He had no choice.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Qin Tian. I have another matter I would like to ask you."

"Fellow Daoist Taiqing, you certainly have a lot to say about this."

"If every event can be counted as a cause and effect, then you owe me quite a bit of cause and effect from this trip."

Hearing Qin Tian's joke, Taiqing Laozi felt quite helpless.

He didn't want to ask that many questions.

But since it concerned the sacred path of his two younger brothers, he had to be cautious.

He could sense that his two younger brothers' path to sainthood, like his own, was also a form of religious establishment.

Even the Western sages Jieyin and Zhunti should be like this.

Teaching is about educating and enlightening all living beings.

The war between the Lich King and the Demon King is inevitable. Laozi Taiqing has already foreseen that in the future, the human race is destined to roam the world.

As for its decline, it was dragged down by the Lich and Demon races.

The possibility of this is almost zero.

With Qin Tian there, plus the Styx River and Houtu.

Looking across the vast and ancient world, absolutely no one would dare to offend three sages at the same time.

"May I ask you, fellow Daoist, if establishing a sect can enable my three brothers to simultaneously attain sainthood?"

Qin Tian looked shocked. He hadn't expected that Taiqing Laozi would have such an idea.

When they met Yuanshi again, Tongtian remained silent, clearly acknowledging the matter.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Tian replied, "Fellow Daoist Taiqing, have you ever heard the saying, 'Two tigers cannot share one mountain'?"

"Just as the primordial world could not contain two overlords, the Lich and the Demon, a single sect could not contain three saints."

"Unless you, fellow Daoist, establish another path or open another school."

Taiqing Laozi nodded; this answer was exactly what he expected.

"Thank you for your explanation, fellow Daoist. I wonder if you could lift the restrictions at that time and allow the human race to accept my two younger brothers as well?"

After speaking, Taiqing Laozi looked at Qin Tian with anticipation, and Yuanshi and Tongtian also had hopeful expressions on their faces.

"Haha..." Qin Tian couldn't help but laugh when he saw Sanqing's appearance.

He then said, "Fellow Daoist Taiqing, you are overthinking this!"

"The opportunity for Fellow Daoist Yuanshi and Fellow Daoist Tongtian to become saints does not lie with our human race, but in this world."

"What do you mean by that, fellow Daoist?"

"Religions are meant to educate and enlighten all beings. In the future, humanity is destined to be the largest race in the world. If we don't educate humanity, who will we educate?"

Qin Tian understood that Taiqing Laozi had fallen into a dead end.

He was very puzzled by this.

Logically speaking, the Three Pure Ones shouldn't be so unwise!

Could it be that I put too much pressure on them?

This led them to believe that they were a great demon.

Thinking of this, Qin Tian shook his head, looked at Taiqing Laozi, and said very formally, "Fellow Daoist Taiqing, what you said is completely wrong."

"Humans are born with the Dao body, so they are relatively easy to teach and educate."

"But once a sect is established to educate and enlighten all beings, it should not focus its goals solely on one ethnic group."

"The primordial world is so vast, how could it be reduced to the domain of a single race?"

"All things in heaven and earth possess a spirit. The purpose of establishing a religion should be to educate and enlighten all spirits, so that this world can become stronger and stronger."

"The world is like a pond, containing not only water, but also many creatures we haven't noticed."

"If we cling to the waters of only one clan, then future conflicts are inevitable."

"When conflict arises, heaven and earth will inevitably be damaged, and all living beings will suffer as a result."

"Subtly, the fortune of heaven and earth will also decline as a result."

"In the end, the conflict will only escalate, making it difficult for everyone and every sect to survive."
