In Hongjun's mouth, another plan was revealed!
To refine the Three Pure Ones' primordial spirits and return them to Pangu's primordial spirit!
The Five Elements Demon God exclaimed, "A brilliant plan! By refining the Three Pure Ones to return to Pangu's primordial spirit, and the Twelve Ancestral Wizards to return to Pangu's essence blood, Pangu can be reassembled!"
"The orthodox lineage of Pangu is merely a tool for Fellow Daoist Hongjun to sow seeds and harvest the fruits!"
"The direct descendants of Pangu's primordial spirit? The direct descendants of Pangu's physical body? The Twelve Ancestral Wizards and the Three Pure Ones, who consider themselves the orthodox lineage of Pangu, likely never imagined that the Dao Ancestor saw them as seeds, waiting for them to experience several kalpas, bear fruit, and then be harvested?"
Hongjun Dao Ancestor chuckled proudly, "This old Dao is merely a fruit farmer! I sowed the Three Pure Ones, I sowed Houtu, guided Houtu to establish the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and took the Three Pure Ones as disciples, guiding them all to become Saints of the Earthly Dao and Saints of the Heavenly Dao."
"Everything has a price. They have enjoyed their freedom through the Wu-Demon Kalpa, the Investiture of the Gods Kalpa, and the Journey to the West Kalpa. Three kalpas, one hundred and ninety-two billion years, they must pay the price!"
"When the Kalpa of Dharma Decline arrives, I, the fruit farmer, will harvest the fruits!"
Hongjun Dao Ancestor had always harbored ill intentions. When he bestowed the Primordial Violet Qi in Zixiao Palace, his intentions were never good.
The Primordial Violet Qi was not only the foundation for achieving sainthood, but also a means to anchor the core of one's primordial spirit within the Heavenly Dao...
With the Primordial Violet Qi as the foundation, Hongjun Dao Ancestor could seize the true lives of the Six Saints of the Heavenly Dao at any time, causing them to perish completely!
This was not a perishing that could be reversed.
The Heavenly Dao Saints could only be resurrected through the Heavenly Dao.
Once the Heavenly Dao itself decided to act against the Six Saints... the Six Saints would naturally perish completely, with no chance of resurrection.
Just as a Red Dust Immortal could completely shatter the Heavenly Dao and obliterate the Six Saints.
Hongjun, with the Primordial Violet Qi, could achieve this with ease.
The reason he had not done so was, as he himself said, he merely wished to harvest the most perfect fruits!
Including Houtu—Hongjun had deliberately allowed her to establish the Six Paths of Reincarnation! To achieve sainthood of the Earthly Dao!
When Houtu became a Saint of the Earthly Dao, the power of the Heavenly Dao had already begun to infiltrate the Earthly Dao through Houtu's body... By the Kalpa of Dharma Decline, the power of the Heavenly Dao had penetrated the core of the Earthly Dao, controlling the fate of Saint Houtu!
After the Five Elements Demon God's praise, he reminded:
"However, Fellow Daoist Hongjun, Pangu transformed into all things. Theoretically, all beings in the Primordial World, whether born later, born earlier, or rogue cultivators, the Wu clan, the Demon clan, are all transformations of Pangu."
"The Sea of Blood, the Kunlun Immortal Mountains, the Western Lands, Shouyang Mountain, Jinbie Island in the Primordial World, these places, the mountains and rivers, the four seas and eight desolate regions, which part is not a transformation of Pangu?"
"Although the Three Pure Ones and the Twelve Ancestral Wizards are the orthodox lineage of Pangu, all other beings in the Primordial World are also transformations of Pangu."
"The Four Seas of the Primordial World, the East Sea, the West Sea, Buzhou Mountain, these are all places transformed by Pangu..."
"Even if the Twelve Ancestral Wizards are refined to return to Pangu's essence blood, and the Three Pure Ones Saints are refined to return to Pangu's primordial spirit, and pieced together, it will not be the true Dao fruit of Pangu, but merely a fragmented Dao fruit of Pangu!"
The Five Elements Demon God smiled, as if reminding Hongjun of something.
Hongjun Dao Ancestor calmly replied, mainly to clarify for Jin Bifeng.
"Fellow Daoist Five Elements speaks the truth! Even if this old Dao harvests the Dao fruit of Saint Houtu and the Dao fruit of the Three Pure Ones Saints, reaching the peak of the perfected Saint Dao fruit, it still cannot merge into the true Dao fruit of Pangu..."
"To glimpse the true Dao fruit of Pangu... one must..."
"Destroy all beings in the Primordial World! Annihilate the Human Dao!"
The Human Dao in Hongjun Dao Ancestor's eyes was not the Dao of the Human Race, but a more extensive meaning, referring to the collective will of all sentient beings!
The Human Dao as Fang Ming understood it was the narrow sense of the Human Dao, referring solely to the Human Race.
The Human Dao as Hongjun Dao Ancestor understood it was the broad sense of the Human Dao, referring to the collective will of beings born later, beings born earlier, rogue cultivators, sects, the Wu and Demon clans, the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin three clans—the collective will of all sentient beings was the Human Dao in Hongjun Dao Ancestor's eyes!
The Human Dao in Fang Ming's eyes was only the Human Race!
And the Human Dao in Hongjun Dao Ancestor's eyes was all sentient beings!
This was the distinction in their understanding of the Human Dao!
Hongjun Dao Ancestor's annihilation of the Human Dao was not merely the annihilation of the Human Race, but the annihilation of all beings transformed by Pangu!
"Destroy all mountains and rivers in the Primordial World! Destroy Buzhou Mountain, destroy Kunlun Mountain, destroy the Sea of Blood, destroy Bi Du Mountain... Destroy countless grotto-heavens and blessed lands, even the Primordial Great Land, decomposing them into fundamental particles..."
"This is the annihilation of the Earthly Dao!"
The Earthly Dao in Hongjun Dao Ancestor's eyes referred to the regions transformed by Pangu! The Primordial Continent, the Four Seas, the thirty-three heavens, any place within the scope of the Primordial World, was the Earthly Dao!
"The Plan of Myriad Realms Returning to Origin is precisely for this purpose!"
"Currently, the Five Elements Great World is the foremost among over two hundred worlds in the depths of chaos! The most powerful world!"
"When the Kalpa of Dharma Decline arrives, this old Dao will first annihilate the Six Saints of the Heavenly Dao and the Saint of the Earthly Dao, leaving the Primordial World without any Saint-level combat power!"
"A Primordial World lacking Saint-level combat power would be in an extremely weakened state..."
"At that time, young friend Bifeng, as the supreme leader of these over two hundred worlds, will unite the strength of over two hundred worlds, steer the myriad worlds, and sail from the depths of chaos towards the location of the Primordial World..."
"With the power and strength of numerous worlds, they will launch a full-scale attack on the Primordial World! Invade the Primordial World!"
"The simultaneous attack of myriad worlds on the Primordial World is called the Plan of Myriad Realms Returning to Origin... The purpose is to completely slay all beings transformed by Pangu, and utterly destroy the Primordial World..."
"Thus, to force out the true Dao fruit of Pangu!"
Hongjun Dao Ancestor finally revealed the true plan!
The true and specific Plan of Myriad Realms Returning to Origin!
The so-called Age of Dharma Decline was controlled by Hongjun. Upon its arrival, he would immediately harvest the Dao fruits of the Three Pure Ones Saints and Saint Houtu, and incidentally annihilate the other three Heavenly Dao Saints, causing the Primordial World to officially enter an era without Saints!
The Age of Dharma Decline was also known as the Era Without Saints!
The Primordial World, without Saint-level combat power...
In the depths of chaos, worlds opened by other Chaos Demon Gods, their powerful beings could use the Five Elements Great World, with the leader of the Five Elements Heavenly Palace, Jin Bifeng, as their supreme leader, to slaughter their way into the Primordial World and annihilate all its beings...
This phase, in Hongjun Dao Ancestor's eyes, might last for sixty-four billion years!
The Age of Dharma Decline, sixty-four billion years, was also the era when the supreme powerhouses of other worlds would madly slaughter the cultivators of the Primordial World!
All beings in the Primordial World would turn to dust, and the Dao fruit of Pangu would finally manifest. By obtaining the two thousand nine hundred and ninety complete Great Daos, one could achieve the peak of the Half-step Great Dao realm, infinitely close to the true Great Dao realm...
At that time...
