The Holy Path of the Primordial World Shines Brightly

Chapter 824 The Dao Ancestor Fishes, the Dragon Ancestor Suffers

Jun Tian chatted and laughed, but Zu Long's heart grew colder and colder.

He realized that he had unknowingly fallen into a trap.

The one who fell from the sky back then, and was eventually suppressed... was just a part of that intricate web of intricate connections!

He broke free.

Yet, it did not break free.

Some people sit in the Zixiao Palace, seemingly unable to leave, but they have already prepared their fishing rods, waiting for those willing to take the bait.

"How upright I am!"

Jun Tian continued to ramble on, "To be a good Heavenly Daoist, you're trapped in the Zixiao Palace every day, dealing with endless work day after day, and you can never leave your post."

"So many alibis, all proving my pure goodness... the mastermind behind it all?"

"It's none of my business!"

He spoke with great conviction.

"Heh...haha..."

Zu Long forced a smile, as if to agree. However, his laughter was dry and hoarse, devoid of any genuine joy.

"Fellow Daoist Hongjun is indeed pure and kind, able to make me lose so clearly and decisively..."

His voice was hoarse, "I didn't expect you to understand me so clearly, fellow Daoist!!"

"Every step I've taken to get here has been met with a devastating blow from you at crucial junctures!"

Even if Juntian doesn't say anything, Zulong might just be full of resentment, suppressed under the era, or even branded and tried to be made into a puppet—what a disgrace!

However, the confrontation now adds a chill to this resentment, making one's heart and mind feel cold.

The Way of Heaven... is terrifying beyond belief!

"Coincidence! Coincidence!"

Jun Tian smiled, "I already said it was a coincidence! An accident! Why won't you believe me, fellow Daoist!"

"Actually, I wasn't intentionally trying to hook you at first... To be honest, I didn't take you seriously back then."

What Jun Tian said was even more infuriating.

"The dragon race has great potential and is qualified to contend for supremacy over the world."

"But that's precisely why I'm never worried about the dragon race rising to power in this era."

Jun Tian chuckled, "The more aggressive and determined you are to come back and settle scores with the victors of the previous era, the less likely you are to attain enlightenment, and the more immense the resistance you will face."

"Compared to you, others are more worthy of my attention."

"To deal with you, I believe a simple move will suffice."

"But, by a twist of fate, as the chessboard evolved, you eventually jumped in..."

Jun Tian looked somewhat helpless, which left Zu Long speechless.

"I've prepared a lot. The fish I actually want to catch... is Nuwa!" Jun Tian said in a low voice. Now that things have come to this, he doesn't mind letting people know about his plan that he has been setting up for many years.

fishing?

Indeed, he had fished before.

But the biggest fish I really want to catch... is Nuwa!

obviously.

Among Hongjun's competitors, Nuwa needs to be far more cautious than Canglong.

As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."

"Nuwa, leading the witches, is using humanity to fight against Heaven... If she wants to defeat me, she must understand me."

"She also possesses this talent—after all, the most important foundation of the Heavenly Way is omniscience and omnipotence!"

"Omniscience is the Way of Change of Fuxi; omnipotence is the Creation of Nuwa."

"Even if the Heavenly Dao has undergone multiple self-upgrades, updates, and transformations to adapt to the times... as long as it has relevant research and development experience, Nuwa will definitely be able to understand it."

Jun Tian spoke eloquently, "She may not be as good as her brother in planning and strategy, but her talent for creation and research is unparalleled in the world."

"She is wise! However, her wisdom... is not quite the same as what ordinary people understand."

"That's enough."

"The trap I set was designed to kill these kinds of wise people... Those who are too stupid are the ones I can outmaneuver with all my might, only to find their score is zero to five."

"Look."

"I am Nuwa's adversary, so she must understand me and find my weaknesses... What could be closer to the origin than starting from the very essence of the Heavenly Dao?"

"And she does indeed have that ability; she can truly see through the truth."

"In fact, there is also a covert battle between her and me in this era." Jun Tian said this with a solemn expression. "If I am not careful enough and fail to properly protect my own Heavenly Dao Fruit, she will see through my disguise and lock onto my weaknesses."

"Especially in the ultimate showdown... even the slightest opening can lead to a great deal of things."

"certainly!"

His serious expression vanished, and he laughed. "This is based on the premise that I'm not luring you into a trap."

"As the Heavenly Dao, I have always been in a passive position."

"In particular, Nuwa gathered people and held three meetings in Zixiao Palace, locking me inside, making it difficult for me to get out."

"This forced me to take the hits and respond to attacks... while she had countless opportunities to launch the offensive from the outside."

"This won't do... prolonged defense will inevitably lead to defeat!" Jun Tian said. "Since it's all going to be 'defeat' anyway... why not take control of it?"

"I gave her a chance to successfully hack in!"

"That's not all!"

"I'm giving her a seemingly promising chance to 'seize the opportunity'!"

Looking down upon the ages, the Heavenly Dao, which governs the rise and fall of eras, revealed an extremely cold and terrifying quality at this moment: "I hereby bestow upon her the title of Heavenly Dao Saint!"

"The sage is rooted in the Way of Heaven!"

"We could easily coordinate with the invaders from within and without to seize my Heavenly Dao!"

He smiled coldly, making Zu Long change color... This is a ruthless person, no, a ruthless one!

They can even use their own original Dao Fruit as bait!

"pity."

Jun Tian's expression turned regretful. "I waited and waited, but she never took the bait."

"She just played chess with me honestly within the rules, without taking any shortcuts."

He seemed to have a strong urge to vomit blood.

The groundwork was laid so well.

The bait smells so good.

They didn't take the bait?!

"Otherwise, with my full preparations, the Three Corpses Order will be imprinted on the world... When Nuwa attempts to seize the Heavenly Dao, I will use all living beings as a pretext to break free from the shackles, leap directly to the peak, and prove myself as Pangu!"

"How is this possible?!" Zu Long exclaimed.

"Why not?" Jun Tian said meaningfully, "My inability to become Pangu seems to be limited by the Heavenly Dao, but in reality, it's limited by responsibility!"

"But if someone is willing to 'fill in' or 'take over'... then wouldn't that solve the problem?"

"So, I've been trying to pressure her... Reincarnation was one such attempt, forcing her to take risks. When Nuwa, overjoyed, seized the Heavenly Dao, realizing she had locked onto my fatal weakness, she stormed in!"

"She will be at her most glorious, and she will also sink into the darkest abyss!"

"I have prepared a backup plan. I will fake my death and abdicate... In that case, all the karmic consequences of Heaven will be imposed on Nuwa."

"she!"

"This will be the new Heavenly Way!"

"And I... shall be reborn from the very essence of humanity, freed from all shackles!"

"The Three Corpses... The Three Corpses!" Juntian chuckled softly. "I summoned the gods at Zixiao Palace and established this order. The Three Corpses gather the thoughts of all living beings, supervise humanity, assess merits and demerits, judge punishments, and determine lifespans."

"Over the years, the conquests of the times and the sins of blood and fire have long proven its necessity... At that time, I used this path to reach the pinnacle, and with the inertia of the Heavenly Dao, even Nuwa, who had just ascended to the throne, was still bound by it... I am ready to attempt a leap to the peak!"

"After all, the accumulation of my knowledge and experience in attaining enlightenment... is more than enough!"

Juntian sighed deeply.

The meeting of the gods in Zixiao Palace back then finalized the rules of the era and the order of the epoch... At that time, as the host, he laid too many foreshadowings.

How could a Dao Ancestor be simple?

It is destined to conceal many hidden schemes!

They promoted the Three Corpses Order in a grand and righteous manner.

Forced to abdicate by Nuwa, he retreated with the tide, vowing never to emerge from the immeasurable calamity, thus lowering the guard of his competitors. He then used this to reclaim the power of the primordial world from the gods, perfecting the Heavenly Dao and reaching the pinnacle of his own Dao fruit, only one step away from Pangu.

Using the simple principle of checks and balances, the gods also placed Nuwa in the position of a saint. This was a real check and balance, binding Nuwa, but it was also baiting the way for the future, finding a scapegoat... no, a good Samaritan to take the blame!

Will it not emerge from immeasurable eons?

That's the duty of the Heavenly Dao's operators. What does it have to do with me—the Three Corpses Hongjun?!

To this end, the Dao Ancestor prepared a backup plan, even the establishment of the Heavenly Court had a hidden pit, which is the ultimate power to ensure that variables can be corrected at critical moments!

Hongjun had planned and prepared far too much.

It's a pity!

Nuwa actually behaved herself and did not take the path of invasion!

She focused on farming and development, nurturing the witch and human races, using the most basic methods to gradually overcome obstacles, first attacking the Heavenly Court, and then conquering the Heavenly Dao!

The flowers that Daozu waited for withered away, but in the end, he never got to see Nuwa "show off" her skills.

However, every cloud has a silver lining.

Nuwa did not live to see it.

But a dragon charged in aggressively!

Seeing this situation, Hongjun reacted quickly, immediately devising a brand new plan around the Ancestral Dragon, increasing investment in the original idle pieces, and readjusting the upstream of time.

Juntian has come through the years, originally a chess piece outside the chessboard, responding to the moment of today before being brought to a close by the great trend of human affairs, to draw half a period for the First Emperor.

"What a pity, what a pity," Jun Tian said leisurely. "Unable to implement the first plan of 'having a successor' and achieve the perfect situation of resolving both causal responsibility and competitors at the same time, we can only launch the second plan of 'stealing the sky and changing the sun' to find a scapegoat, get rid of the burden of responsibility and oath, and then compete for Pangu's achievements."

As he spoke, his gaze shifted to the Ancestral Dragon, his eyes so blatant that they sent chills down the spine of the Azure Dragon Great Sage.

"Cang, you've finally made something of yourself."

"At the level of near-Pangu!"

"Therefore, it is reasonable to say that you broke Buzhou Mountain, and it is not considered fraud on my part."

"Otherwise, how could a mere ordinary Taiyi be qualified to break through Buzhou Mountain, causing a series of major changes and even causing the Heavenly Dao to undergo strange transformations?"

"Temporary workers can only fool the ignorant masses... but nowadays, people have become quite shrewd!"

"We still have to give this tycoon face."

"so……"

"Fellow Daoist Canglong, please stop your futile struggles and end your own life!"

"Don't worry."

"After you die, I will treat the dragon clan well and ensure they do not suffer any losses."

Jun Tian smiled and gestured to Zu Long.

The Dragon Ancestor remained silent for a moment.

Then he burst into laughter, laughing so hard he bent over.

After laughing, he straightened up and shouted sharply, "I almost fell for your trick!"

"You want me to kill myself?"

"You're dreaming!"

The Dragon Ancestor's eyes burned fiercely, dazzlingly bright. "Having said all that, you still can't hide one crucial point!"

"We are equal, and I too will reach the summit!"

"Perhaps I was once a pawn in your game, someone you manipulated!"

"but!"

"Humanity has arrived, changing the rules of the game!"

"This battlefield, this land... how much of your hidden tricks can they still affect me?"

"I can now... turn the tables!"

A blazing flame erupted from Zu Long's body; this was the fire of his soul, an eternal and inextinguishable spiritual light shining forth, all materialized. "I will kill you here, and all shackles will be broken!"

"No matter how much you plan or scheme, it will all come to nothing here!"

"Your gift is wonderful! I love it!"

Zu Long grinned, "You're quite generous, daring to give me even the Heavenly Emperor's position in the human realm, using it to anchor the clearest cause and effect, creating the most perfect opportunity!"

"However, once I kill you... it will be mine!"

"The Battle for the Emperor!"

"Let's see who has the last laugh!"

"This battle... will not end until death!"

The First Dragon roars!

He's roaring!

It roared through the years and marked the vicissitudes of time!

"kill!"

A single word, a single sound, spans millennia!

He charged forward!

Jun Tian composed himself, only sighing softly, "Did you recover so quickly from that wavering and despair?"

"They're more troublesome than I imagined."

"But do you alone have the courage to fight to the death?"

Jun Tian flipped his hand, and a broken jade disc, seemingly pieced together by hand, appeared. "I have one too."

"Even with only half a celestial body, my true self must suppress three thousand gods and demons alone. I, Juntian, am still invincible in this world and can slay you!"

"Because... I never fight alone!"

"The mark of Heaven, the fruit of humanity..."

"I never imagined that such a day would come, that I would be working hand in hand with a human emperor."

"With this... we sever the connection between Heaven and Earth!"

Jun Tian's expression was cold and his tone was murderous. At this moment, the world changed!

He is severing the divinity of heaven and earth, refining the latent essence of humanity, severing all kinds of myths and legends, and breaking down all social classes and barriers!

"The Way of the Styx is quite good."

"But from now on, he's mine."

He whispered, "Three thousand saints, three thousand paths, all are within the Heavenly Way."

"Azure!"

"Are you trying to steal, copy, or usurp my rights?"

"I wonder if I'm the one who achieves the greatest success on this path?"

"The ultimate goal of the Heavenly Dao is the assembly of the three thousand Great Daos!"

"The ultimate goal of humanity is the most wondrous creation, turning the impossible into the possible!"

"Everyone's a dragon?"

"Why must everyone be like a dragon!"

"Human beings themselves are the greatest legend, containing limitless potential; why would they need the dragon's mystical tricks!"

"Harmony between Heaven and Man, boundless creation... Cang, may you depart!"
