The Primordial War: The Symbol Emperor

Zhu Zhu, growing impatient with the questioning, snapped, "This isn't a question; it's a confession..."

This force cannot be destroyed, and that deity must be released. If she really did as Zhu Ming said, where would the fun be in this campaign?

“They are still useful to our Vermilion Bird Clan, so there’s no need to rush,” Zhu Ming explained.

"What use are they? Just a bunch of ants," Zhu Zhu said disdainfully. "I'm leaving..."

"Wait..." Zhu Ming hurriedly stopped her. She knew her sister's personality well; if she didn't have something to ask, her sister would have left long ago and wouldn't have listened to her anymore.

"Hurry up and tell me..."

“Even ants have their uses,” Zhu Ming said solemnly. “You must know that if our clan plunders resources on a large scale, we will inevitably be burdened with karmic consequences, which will be very detrimental to our clan.”

Zhu Ming looked at Zhu Zhu and laughed, "If they help our clan plunder resources, we won't be tainted by karmic consequences. We only need to kill them to obtain their resources, without wasting our clansmen's time, and we can reap the benefits without lifting a finger. Why wouldn't we do something so good?"

After hearing this explanation, Zhu Zhu's eyes darted around, and she said happily, "You plan to let them roam freely, fatten them up, and then slaughter them?"

“Not bad…” Zhu Ming said with a smile.

“But…” Zhu Zhu thought for a moment and said, “If we kill them, won’t we still be tainted by karma?”

"Hehe..." Zhu Ming smiled confidently, his eyes cold, and said, "Don't worry! I have a plan for all of this, and my clansmen will not be affected by this in the slightest."

Even the most perfect rules have loopholes. Zhu Ming has manipulated countless races to kill without incurring consequences, and he is already a master of it, handling it with ease.

"Your softness is still the best..." Zhu Zhu stopped mid-sentence.

He waved his hand impatiently and said, "Tell me quickly..."

Zhu Ming was quite annoyed by this. He took out a jade slip and said, "It's all recorded inside..."

"Hmph..." Zhu Zhu snorted coldly in dissatisfaction. "You were already prepared, why did you have to waste my time arguing with me? You're really wasting my time."

"Sister..." Zhu Ming's expression darkened. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Be careful!"

"Hmph!" Zhu Zhu raised her head arrogantly and said, "Although I am not the strongest, I am only slightly inferior. I have no fear in fighting against him!"

Looking at his proud younger sister, Zhu Ming said enviously, "Yes, although my sister's current strength is not enough to defeat a supreme expert, it is not easy for a supreme expert to defeat her."

How could he not see that Zhu Zhu had refined the "Nine Luminaries Sacred Flame" and fused it into the World-Destroying Black Flame? She had already comprehended a new Great Dao of Fire, and becoming a supreme powerhouse was inevitable; it was only a matter of time.

"You know that much!" Zhu Zhu said smugly.

"Ha ha……"

Zhu Ming was overjoyed by his sister's promising future, his eyes filled with anticipation as if he could already see it. The Vermilion Bird Clan had gained another supreme powerhouse, and it was his own sister.

As he pondered this, Zhu Ming's eyes suddenly filled with dejection. His future seemed bleak.

The reason is simple: in the end, only one person can attain enlightenment on each great path.

The Vermilion Bird clan was no exception. Only the Vermilion Bird's World-Destroying Black Flame was complete; the World-Destroying Black Flames of the other clan members were all flawed.

To attain enlightenment, one must find another source, like Zhu Zhu, and merge with the Nine Luminaries Sacred Flame to become the ancestor of another path.

Zhu Zhu noticed Zhu Ming's dejection, hesitated for a moment, and then transmitted her voice, "The clan leader still has a Dao Fire in his hands, and the news has not yet spread."

After saying this, he disappeared without waiting for Zhu Ming's reply.

Zhu Ming was stunned, then overjoyed and excited.

"The Great Way is within reach! The Great Way is indeed within reach..."

Even with his calm and collected demeanor, he couldn't help but burst into tears of excitement at this moment.

After a long period of excitement, Zhu Ming finally stepped out of the barrier.

What came into view was a scene of annihilation. The earth was devastated, with fire pits everywhere, emitting raging black flames.

The scorched earth was covered with pools of bright red blood, and broken bones littered the ground.

Zhu Ming seemed oblivious to the apocalyptic scene, gazing into the distance.

"Hehe...we're still the same as we were back then, not changed at all," Zhu Ming murmured with a smile.

Zhu Zhu dared to reveal the matter of the Vermilion Bird, which is a serious crime and a great disrespect to the clan leader.

But Zhu Zhu told him to get the Dao Fire before his clansmen knew the news.

"Elder, when shall we depart?" An elder of the Vermilion Bird Clan asked, seeing that Zhu Ming remained silent for a long time.

Zhu Ming snapped out of his thoughts, his face beaming, and said with a smile, "Let's go..."

…………

…………

Zhu Zhu transformed into her true form and flew alongside another Vermilion Bird, leading a dense swarm of Vermilion Birds.

The void was illuminated by these Vermilion Birds, their colors vibrant and dazzling.

"Elder Zhu, what do you think the First Elder was thinking? To deal with such lowly ants, he actually sent us here." Zhu Que, standing beside Zhu Zhu, asked.

"Hmph... Who in the clan doesn't know he's a coward? Utterly timid and weak," Zhu Zhu said disdainfully.

“No…” After pondering for a moment, the Vermilion Bird said, “The Grand Elder must be afraid that he can’t wipe out these ants in one fell swoop, so he sent us to help.”

This Vermilion Bird is one of the leading elders in this campaign against the traitors. The Eighteenth Elder, Zhu Yan.

"Maybe!" Zhu Zhu didn't want to say more, so she tossed one to Zhu Yan and then recounted Zhu Ming's scheme.

"The Grand Elder is indeed a man of great talent..." Zhu Yan praised, "With the Grand Elder, our clan's future is bright..."

“He has changed. He used to be just like us, brave and fearless.”

"Hey... you have too much prejudice against the Grand Elder."

"Is not it?"

"No no no..."

Zhu Yan shook his enormous Vermilion Bird head and said, "The Grand Elder is truly wise and courageous, able to bend and stretch, far surpassing us."

"Since you admire him so much, why do you often oppose him?" Zhu Zhu asked, puzzled.

"I dislike his style! But it cannot be denied that the Grand Elder has extraordinary talent and has made unparalleled contributions to our clan."

Zhu Yan paused, then added, "I may not like him, but I have to admire him."

Zhu Zhu remained silent, fluttering her noble and beautiful wings.

"Don't be defiant..."

Zhu Yan advised, "You saw these lowly ants today, didn't you?"

Not receiving a reply, Zhu Yan remained unperturbed and continued, "They knew they would die, yet they still dared to demand our clan's treasure land. This is not because they are not afraid of death; on the contrary, it is precisely because they fear death that they are forced to scheme for an opportunity."

"Because when the great calamity arrives, they will surely die. Even if it is not a great calamity, they will have to keep their tails between their legs. Once they fail to overcome it, today is the best possible outcome."

"This also illustrates the cruelty of the primordial world. There are struggles among ants, and there are clandestine battles among the top powerful clans."

"One careless move could lead to the extinction of our clan, and we would be wiped out in the primordial world."

"So, the Grand Elder's..."

"Enough..." Zhu Zhu roared, flapping its wings and soaring into the sky, disappearing into the void in the blink of an eye.

Zhu Yan murmured helplessly, "These brother and sister..."
