Humans in the primordial world, inscribing the Way of Heaven!

Zixiao Palace.

Although Houtu merged with the Earth Dao, becoming the first Earth Dao Saint in the Primordial True Realm and displaying overwhelming strength over Zhunti Daoist, seemingly putting the matter to rest, it was actually just the beginning.

At this moment, the current and future Great Luo Immortals have all gathered at Zixiao Palace, seemingly seeking an explanation from the saints who symbolize the order of Heaven.

Nuwa is resting with her eyes closed.

Taiqing Laozi looked at the many Great Luo Immortals before him and could only stall for time, saying, "This matter involves far too many causes and effects! Once the other Sages arrive, I will give you all an explanation!"

The Great Luo Immortals of the Primordial Realm were also well aware of the gap between themselves and the Heavenly Dao Saints. Seeing that Taiqing Laozi had made a promise, they no longer pressed for answers and simply waited silently for the arrival of other Saints.

At the same time, the origin of the Heavenly Dao manifested, reflecting a figure with an air of immortality, whose endless Heavenly Dao principles flickered in the void.

"teacher!"

Taiqing and Nuwa quickly paid their respects.

"Dao Ancestor!!!"

The other Great Luos also looked shocked and then bowed to him.

They never expected that today's events would alarm Dao Ancestor Hongjun, but upon closer reflection, Dao Ancestor Hongjun should indeed intervene.

"No gift!"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun spoke slowly, his divine might filling the Zixiao Palace: "The situation has changed, and my progress in merging with the Dao has also been affected. I ask all fellow Daoists to be patient and wait a moment!"

His gaze pierced through the endless void, landing on the Tongtian Sect Master and Yuanshi Tianzun in the Kunlun Mountain Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation in the Primordial Realm. He then looked at the Jieyin Daoist in the direction of Mount Sumeru, and the Zhunti Daoist who was being chased by Houtu.

"All sages, come to Zixiao Palace!"

His voice wasn't loud, but it instantly spread throughout the Primordial Realm, clearly reaching the ears of the Tongtian Sect Master, Yuanshi Tianzun, and others.

At the same time, the entire spacetime of the primordial world seemed to freeze, and all beings below the Great Luo level in the Zhou Tian Star Array were fixed in place by a force.

Only Di Jun, Tai Yi, and other Daluo, protected by the Chaos Bell, retained their consciousness and then looked at Zixiao Palace with great interest.

Not to mention other living beings!

In the entire prehistoric world, only Houtu Niangniang, and Xuan Yin, Minghe, and Zhen Yuanzi, who were within the range of the power of the earth's passage, were unaffected.

The ancestral witches, such as Dijiang, were also affected.

Although unlike other living beings, they were not frozen in place, a force of heavenly power instantly shattered their Pangu true form.

"Fellow Daoist Houtu, as well as all the Ancestral Witches, Fellow Daoists Dijun, Taiyi, and Fuxi of the Demon Clan, and Fellow Daoists Styx and Zhenyuanzi who are favored by the will of the Earth Dao, please also come to Zixiao Palace for a chat!"

The voice of Dao Ancestor Hongjun rang out again. Although it was still gentle, the power it revealed shocked Dijiang and the others.

"How come this has nothing to do with you?"

Only Di Ting spoke up in a cheeky tone, "You also have the favor of the Daoist will, so why didn't the Dao Ancestor invite you to go to Zixiao Palace as well?"

Xuan Yin looked helpless and gave Di Ting a hard flick on the forehead: "That's the Dao Source Holy Land, a place only a Great Luo Immortal is qualified to enter. Why should I, a Taiyi Immortal, get involved?"

If he makes any more noise, he'll soon be blacklisted by the Heavenly Dao and all the Great Luo Immortals. Right now, it's better to keep a low profile!

That listening thing has absolutely no sense of perception!
……

Houtu, Styx, Zhenyuanzi, Dijun, Taiyi, Fuxi, Dijiang and others did not hesitate and fled directly towards Zixiao Palace.

The Tongtian Sect Leader also broke the Zhuxian Sword Formation.

Yuanshi Tianzun looked at Tongtian Jiaozhu and snorted coldly. He also tore through the chaos and descended into Zixiao Palace one after the other with Tongtian Jiaozhu.

On Mount Sumeru, the Guide Daoist sighed softly. The power of the sages reversed time and space, and they arrived at Zixiao Palace after the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

Zhunti Daoist was the last to arrive.

At this moment, there was no trace of him being pursued by Houtu. The Buddha's light shone throughout the heavens, and it seemed that the great battle with Houtu was just a dream.

Yuanshi Tianzun spoke first: "Tongtian, you have defied the great trend of Heaven. Now that your teacher is here, why don't you quickly apologize to your teacher?"

"What crime have I committed?"

The Tongtian Sect Leader was not to be outdone, and confronted the Primordial Heavenly Lord head-on: "The affairs of the world have their own destiny, either the destiny of Heaven or the destiny of the Great Dao! Some things are reasonable just because they exist. Does that mean that only the Heavenly Dao trend determined by you few can be considered the true Heavenly Dao trend?"

"absurd!"

Nuwa also spoke up, saying, "Senior Brother Tongtian, what you say makes sense! Senior Brother Yuanshi, aren't your words a bit too extreme?"

Upon hearing Nuwa speak, Zhunti Daoist immediately sneered, "Fellow Daoist Nuwa, it seems that my fellow disciples and I have underestimated you! Now that things have come to this, do you still intend to continue trapping my evil corpse?"

Although the Guide Daoist did not say a word, he stood firmly behind the Zhunti Daoist, clearly very dissatisfied with Houtu's attainment of sainthood.

A saint-level being controls reincarnation. If the West doesn't pay a price, how can it ever prosper?
But at that moment, an untimely voice suddenly rang out in Zixiao Palace. It belonged to a handsome young man with three eyes on his eyebrows.

"Yang Jian dares to ask you sages, were the matters concerning my mother and my sister also arranged by you sages?"

A resolute glint flashed in his eyes as he stared directly at Yuanshi Tianzun. Even when facing a sage of the Heavenly Dao, he showed no fear, only a desire to seek the truth.

"Be bold!"

Before the Sage could speak, the Jade Cauldron Immortal from the future hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Yang Jian: "You are merely a third-generation disciple of the Chan Sect. What qualifications do you have to question the Sage in the Zixiao Palace?"

"Why haven't you apologized to your grandmaster yet?"

A hint of urgency flashed in Jade Cauldron True Man's eyes. In the Primordial Realm, who didn't know that the Primordial Heavenly Venerable cared most about his own reputation?

As a disciple of the Chan Sect, you questioned the sect leader in front of everyone. Isn't this making you a laughing stock for the Great Luo Immortals of all time and space?
Yu Ding Zhenren quickly looked at Yuanshi Tianzun and apologized, "Teacher, please forgive him. Yang Jian was recently invaded by a demon and has not yet recovered. Please forgive his offense!" "Please answer my question, Sage!"

Yang Jian could naturally see the protective feelings that Jade Cauldron Immortal had for him, but his stubbornness wouldn't allow him to back down.

Nezha, who was standing beside him, also stepped forward: "Please tell me, Goddess Nuwa, why did you repeatedly throw me into Chen Tang Pass, knowing that I would become Taiyi's substitute for the calamity?"

If it weren't for the tribulation he was born to bear 1,750 killing tribulations, and to do the things of cutting off flesh to return to his mother and removing bones to return to his father.
How did these saints regard them? Through twenty cycles of reincarnation, did they not even once feel compassion?

"It's all fate!"

The Primordial Celestial Venerable remained unmoved: "Just as you view beings below the Great Luo level, in the eyes of us sages, you are nothing more than a string of data. Every time an era restarts, you will reappear. Do you really expect us sages to have any pity for a string of data?"

As he spoke, he suddenly looked at the Tongtian Sect Leader: "Of course, except for a certain collector who treats strings of data as disciples, the Heavenly Dao Saint!"

The Primordial Celestial Venerable, though not angry, exuded an aura of authority and continued, "The Great Luo is ruthless. To the Great Luo, beings below the Great Luo Golden Immortal have no meaning in being remembered. And to the Sage, the Great Luo is the same. As long as one cannot escape the cycle of reincarnation, in this eternal cycle, will the Great Luo seen in the next era still be the Great Luo of the previous era?"

"no!"

Yuanshi Tianzun calmly looked at Nezha, then at Fuxi beside him, and then at the human race Da Luo gathered in Zixiao Palace: "To Nuwa, this is true of you, and it is also true of Fellow Daoist Fuxi, and it is even more true of the human race she created!"

"Perhaps during her first reincarnation, she will regret it and feel pity, but are you still the original Lingzhuzi and Fuxi?"

"You are just a string of data!"

Boom!

The words of the Primordial Celestial Venerable were cold and merciless, revealing the truth like a thunderbolt, striking the hearts of the many Great Luo Immortals in the Purple Cloud Palace.

"data!"

Some beings whose Dao heart was flawed, or who barely achieved the Great Luo realm with the help of external forces, trembled uncontrollably upon hearing these words.

They thought they had achieved the Great Luo and had already distanced themselves from ordinary beings, but in the eyes of the sage, they were nothing more than a string of data.

Below even a sage, all are but ants!
The difference between the two is like heaven and earth, but even ants are still living beings, and at least they sound better than cold, hard data.

Zhunti Daoist, in a fit of despair, said: "Do you think that Tongtian and Nuwa helped Houtu achieve the position of Earthly Saint this time out of compassion for all living beings? What they sought was nothing more than transcendence and the attainment of the Dao, so that they could escape this endless cycle of reincarnation!"

What right do these data points have to question these saints in the Purple Cloud Palace?

Fuxi looked at Nuwa with a complex expression: "May I ask, Sage Nuwa, is what the Primordial Sage said truly what you think?"

"That's right!"

Nuwa nodded: "Whether it's you or Lingzhuzi, in my eyes, you are both similar flowers in the endless cycle of reincarnation!"

"You are Fuxi, yet you are not Fuxi, at least not the Fuxi I know!"

The Buddha, Doumu Yuanjun, and others from the future also looked at Tongtian Jiaozhu, hoping to get an answer from him.

"Hahaha!"

Feeling their gazes, the Tongtian Sect Leader burst into laughter, saying, "Why bother with these things? All you need to know is that in this era, you are my disciples, Tongtian!"

"The Dao seems to have feelings, yet it is without feelings. Even if the Great Dao is without feelings, as long as I have feelings in my heart, why should I care which era your disciples are from?"

This is the biggest difference between him and other saints. Other saints cultivate the path of ruthlessness, while he cultivates the path of compassion.

"teacher!"

Buddha and the others immediately lowered their heads.

They also knew that the Tongtian Sect Leader had never given up on the disciples of the Jie Sect, and in every reincarnation, he had done his best to save their lives.

Perhaps, as Yuanshi Tianzun said, they are indeed just a string of data, but when this string of data acquires emotions, they are no longer cold, but a living being.

Watching the scenes unfold in Zixiao Palace, Dao Ancestor Hongjun remained silent, like an outsider, focusing his gaze solely on Houtu.

After a long silence, he slowly spoke, "Fellow Daoist Houtu, now that you have become a saint, there should be a seat for you in the Zixiao Palace!"

What Dao Ancestor Hongjun was referring to was not an ordinary seat, but a seat that presides over the great affairs of the primordial world and has the power to veto the proposals of other sages. He believed that Houtu was qualified to be ranked alongside the sages.

However, Houtu shook her head: "I appreciate the Dao Ancestor's good intentions! But I do not wish to be the one who manipulates the power of the primordial world!"

"Esteemed Sages, since you believe that the beings of the Primordial True Realm are merely a string of data, why bother interfering with their future?"

The Primordial Celestial Venerable immediately spoke up: "How could you, a person who has just become a saint, possibly know the painstaking efforts we have made to maintain the great trend of the Heavenly Dao?"

"This is also the will of all living beings!"

His gaze was intense as he looked at those future Great Luo Immortals, and he slowly said, "If it weren't for us pushing the tide of the Heavenly Dao in the Purple Cloud Palace, causing the Witch and Demon races to withdraw from the Primordial World, how could you have had the opportunity to attain the Dao?"

"The will of the people determines the course of events!"

"We may have concealed some things, but weren't the major changes in the primordial world all decided by your votes in Zixiao Palace?"

The Daoist Zhunti also spoke up, saying, "We are merely following the will of the people!"

Then, he looked at Houtu and said coldly, "It is Houtu's ascension to sainthood that will cause the Wu and Yao races to continue to occupy the primordial fortune, creating a spacetime paradox. If we do not correct this in time, do you think you Great Luo Immortals are qualified to stand in the Zixiao Palace?"

Upon hearing this, all the Great Luo Immortals fell silent. Just as the Primordial Heavenly Venerable had said, they were the ones driving the great trend of the Heavenly Dao in the Primordial True Realm.

If they had not followed the great trend of the sages, how could they have achieved the Great Luo?
Suddenly, Emperor Jun, who had been silent all along, spoke up: "Just because it has always been this way, does that mean it's right? Can the majority decide the fate of the minority?"
