Primordial Era: Even the Three Pure Ones have to obediently call me Second Uncle

Shen Ni took a solid hit from Yang Mei and looked extremely disheveled.

Blood kept spilling from his body, but he didn't care at all. He just stood there blankly, his eyes somewhat unfocused.

The words Yang Mei had just spoken kept echoing in my mind.

He was muttering something to himself.

The next second, Shen Ni suddenly burst into a sorrowful laugh.

This action startled everyone around, and they all stopped what they were doing.

He looked at Shen Ni with some confusion.

What's the situation?

When Qiongqi and the others saw Shen Ni in such a state, they were quite worried and immediately looked at Yang Mei with fierce expressions.

"Yang Mei, you scoundrel, what exactly did you do to our elder brother?!"

Yang Mei simply spread her hands and sighed.

"The old Taoist priest merely explained the truth to the Beast King."

"What bullshit truth? You must have done something to my elder brother!" Qiongqi, Taotie and the others immediately started cursing.

Taotie hurriedly came to Shen Ni's side, looking at him with a worried expression.

"Brother, are you okay?"

Before he could finish speaking, Luo Hou, who was not far away, suddenly tightened his grip on the God-Slaying Spear and, without saying a word, stabbed it at a Primordial Golden Immortal in the early stage.

The ferocious beast, at the early stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, was caught off guard and had no defenses whatsoever.

He let out a scream and died instantly on the spot.

"Luo Hou, what are you doing?!"

Qiongqi was instantly enraged, its eyes seemingly blazing with fire as it stared straight at Luo Hou.

Yang Mei and the others were also somewhat surprised by Luo Hou's behavior.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Luo Hou chuckled, his face displaying an extremely wicked expression.

"I have not heard of any talk of a ceasefire between us and the ferocious beast race. Have you all forgotten? We are still at war."

"Look at the way you're all looking at me, as if I, your ancestor, have done something wrong? Are you perhaps planning to admit defeat?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Mei and the others were stunned for a moment, realizing that it seemed so.

They never said they wanted a ceasefire.

Thinking of this, everyone blushed; they had just wanted to ask Luo Hou why he had attacked the ferocious beast clan.

Ahem, thinking about this, everyone felt a little awkward.

Upon hearing this, Qiongqi and the others opened their mouths as if to say something, but they couldn't utter a word.

It was Taotie who broke the silence first. It turned its head to look at Qiongqi and said in a buzzing voice, "Qiongqi, I think Luo Hou is right. It's not his fault. After all, our clan has not made peace with them."

Upon hearing this, Qiongqi rolled its eyes.

Dude, which side are you on?

We lost a Primordial Golden Immortal!

But at that moment, Shen Ni suddenly looked up abruptly and asked hysterically, "Hong Yuan, I know you're looking here, but I only want to ask one question: Is what Yang Mei said true? Was our clan wrong from the very beginning?!"

Shen Ni's shout immediately startled everyone.

However, a figure appeared silently from within the crowd.

Upon seeing this figure, everyone paused in surprise.

They were completely unaware of Hong Yuan's arrival.

Yang Mei spoke first, bowing slightly and saying, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Hong Yuan."

At this moment, even those who had just been fighting bowed and said, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Hong Yuan!"

Although Luo Hou was somewhat unwilling, he still managed to bow.

Even the ferocious beasts respectfully hummed in greeting, "Greetings, Daoist Venerable!"

Hong Yuan did not return the greetings to the crowd, but simply looked at Shen Ni with a nonchalant expression.

"You already have the answers in your heart, don't you? Why ask me?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Ni's enormous body began to tremble slightly.

He exuded an aura of despair.

But the next second, Shen Ni suddenly roared at Hong Yuan: "Then does that mean my ferocious beast clan deserves to die?!"

Hong Yuan touched his chin and looked at Shen Ni with some surprise.

"You yelled at me?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it sent shivers down the spines of the beastmen.

But Luo Hou, always eager for a good show, kept shouting in his heart.

Quick, Hong Yuan, hang Shen Ni up and whip him!

Qiongqi and Taotie even transformed into human form, constantly apologizing to Hong Yuan.

Taotie quickly covered his elder brother's mouth.

They were afraid that Shenni might say something unexpected if they weren't careful.

Shen Ni had calmed down considerably by this point. He slowly transformed into human form and bowed deeply to Hong Yuan: "Daoist Master, please forgive me. I lost my composure just now. I was merely worried about the situation of our race."

Seeing Shen Ni's attitude, Hong Yuan decided not to pursue the matter further.

He simply said, "Actually, you know that your ferocious beast race is not favored by the primordial world."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ni felt a chill run down his spine.

But then, Hong Yuan continued to speak.

"But—they are merely the mindless ferocious beasts beneath you. As for you, the Primordial World and the Heavenly Dao have no say in this."

"However, there is a prerequisite: you must make contributions to the primordial world. If you do this, you will still have a glimmer of hope."

"Of course, that also depends on what you, the King of Beasts, intend to do."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ni's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly asked, "We beg the Daoist Venerable to guide us. I, Shen Ni, am willing to be the Daoist Venerable's mount!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present was taken aback.

Who is this Shen Ni? He is someone who can be considered on par with Yang Mei.

Apart from Hong Yuan, no one in the entire prehistoric world could rival the two of them.

And yet, such a person was willing to bow down before Hong Yuan and become his mount in order to gain a chance of survival for the ferocious beast clan.

How could this not shock everyone?

Even Qiongqi and the others changed their expressions slightly. "Daoist Master, let me be your mount. I'm strong and can carry a lot."

"Let me do it. I'm fast, and Daoist Master should like someone like me!"

"I'll come. My back is broad, and the Daoist Master will not feel the slightest sway when sitting on me!"

In order to get Hong Yuan to choose them, all the ferocious beasts immediately began to list their strengths.

Their purpose was to prevent their emperor from doing such a humiliating thing.

Although the Daoist has a noble status, it is too shameful to be known as a mount.

Hong Yuan was also somewhat surprised by Shen Ni's determination.

He never expected that Shen Ni would make such a decision for the ferocious beast clan.

So he shook his head slightly.

Upon seeing this, Shen Ni stumbled.

Did he not expect that even after he had gone to such lengths, the Daoist Master would still be unwilling to make a move?

Does that mean their ferocious beast race deserves to perish?

"I don't need a mount for the time being. No matter what, you, Shen Ni, are a dignified Beast King. It would be a real injustice for you to be my mount. If you're willing, I'll give you a choice, how about that?"

"You should all know about the grand formation that I set up with Fellow Daoist Yang Mei and the others before, right? Shen Ni, are you willing to become one of the Four Spirits of the Thousand Tribulation Dao Formation for the sake of the primordial land? To repay the karma you have owed over the years?"
