The Dragon Head Crutch and the Kunlun Mirror, after the Creation Jade Butterfly's explanation and observing the attitudes of the other magic treasures in the group, finally understood.
[Dragon Head Crutch: So, Dong Wang Gong and Xi Wang Mu are just tools for Dao Ancestor Hong Jun. If anything happens, he'll just wash his hands of it, is that it?]
[Kunlun Mirror: No way? Dao Ancestor Hong Jun is a saint like that?]
[Creation Jade Butterfly: Why not? If Dao Ancestor Hong Jun truly intended to help Dong Wang Gong and the others, he would have bestowed upon them beings like the Tai Chi Diagram or the Pangu Banner, not you two. So, please accept my condolences!]
[Tai Chi Diagram: Exactly, which is why I don't even know what you were boasting about earlier, being so pleased with yourself when disaster is about to strike.]
[Pangu Banner: Alas, they are still young magic treasures, how could they know the dangers of the Primordial Wilderness?]
[Immortal Execution Sword: On behalf of the Immortal Execution Four Swords, I shall play a mournful tune for the Dragon Head Crutch and the Kunlun Mirror. I wish you a safe journey!]
[Dragon Head Crutch: How can this be? Why is this happening!]
[Kunlun Mirror: Exactly, why are we specifically the two of us!]
The Dragon Head Crutch and the Kunlun Mirror cried out loudly. They had originally thought that after finally escaping the shadow of those innate supreme treasures and heavenly dao exotic treasures, they could finally spread their wings and follow Dong Wang Gong and Xi Wang Mu to forge their own path.
However, reality was so cruel. Before they could even prove themselves, they learned that they were beings destined to be abandoned. This drastic drop in expectations was simply unbearable for them!
According to the Creation Jade Butterfly, Dong Wang Gong and Xi Wang Mu were merely tools. They were meant to help Dao Ancestor Hong Jun gather fortune and test the attitudes of the beings in the Primordial Wilderness.
What kind of attitude was this, naturally, it was the attitude of submission from the beings of the Primordial Wilderness towards the Dao Ancestor.
Dao Ancestor Hong Jun never intended to end the chaos of the Primordial Wilderness with Dong Wang Gong and Xi Wang Mu. Instead, he used these two to lure out those powerful factions that refused to submit.
As for the fate of Dong Wang Gong and Xi Wang Mu when they were targeted by such powerful factions, Dao Ancestor Hong Jun didn't care at all.
He just needed to remember those who jumped out, so he could deal with them one by one in the future.
It was like fishing. Once the fish took the bait, the fisherman wouldn't care about the life or death of the bait.
Having learned of Dao Ancestor Hong Jun's scheme, the Dragon Head Crutch and the Kunlun Mirror were naturally filled with grief.
In this case, when Dong Wang Gong and Xi Wang Mu perished in the future, where would they, the two magic treasures, go!
[Dragon Head Crutch: No! I cannot just wait to die. I must find a way to defy fate and change destiny!]
[Kunlun Mirror: That's right. Since we already know about this situation, how can we just sit idly by!]
[Dragon Head Crutch: Good! If we dedicate ourselves to helping Dong Wang Gong and Xi Wang Mu in the future, there might still be a glimmer of hope!]
[Kunlun Mirror: Exactly. Heaven always leaves a way out. With our reputations as the male and female immortals, as long as we work hard, we can definitely change things!]
[Dragon Head Crutch: Excellent, excellent! We will work together to save Dong Wang Gong and Xi Wang Mu, and of course, to save ourselves!]
After a period of sadness, the Dragon Head Crutch and the Kunlun Mirror quickly recovered.
Since things had come to this, if they wanted a good outcome, instead of lamenting their fate, it was better to transform their grief and anger into strength and attempt to defy fate.
At this moment, they encouraged each other, ready to work hard to escape their predetermined destiny.
[Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree: Defy fate? Heh heh, with just the two of you? Aren't you thinking too much?]
[Yuan Tu: People always have dreams, and so do magic treasures. If you don't dream, you'll never know how cruel reality is!]
[Abi: That's right, let them hit a wall so they can understand how solid the wall of reality is!]
[Chaos Bell: You don't actually think that just the two of you can defy heaven and change things, do you? By the way, Dong Wang Gong once said that magic treasures are merely auxiliary. True strength lies in one's own power. So, aren't you just wishful thinking?]
[Dragon Head Crutch: Magic treasures are merely auxiliary? When did Dong Wang Gong say such a thing? How come I never knew?]
[Kunlun Mirror: Exactly, exactly. I thought Dao Ancestor Hong Jun had already disappointed me, but how can Dong Wang Gong be like this too!]
[Chaos Bell: It's as if I'm deceiving you. Measuring Heaven Ruler, you were a participant. Tell them.]
[Measuring Heaven Ruler: Although I really don't want to kick you while you're down, I still have to tell you!]
The Measuring Heaven Ruler didn't want to dampen the confidence of the Dragon Head Crutch and the Kunlun Mirror, but on their first battle when they were inexperienced, facing Dong Wang Gong, Dong Wang Gong did say such words.
Based on the principle of seeking truth from facts, the Measuring Heaven Ruler recounted the events of that day.
[Dragon Head Crutch: I never imagined Dong Wang Gong was this kind of person. To look down on magic treasures so much is truly disappointing!]
[Kunlun Mirror: Alas, I'm tired. Let's just destroy everything!]
The Dragon Head Crutch and the Kunlun Mirror were indeed greatly disheartened upon hearing this.
Here they were, contemplating how to save Dong Wang Gong and Xi Wang Mu, and unexpectedly, Dong Wang Gong viewed treasures in such a way. This truly chilled the hearts of their brothers and sisters!
This was even more difficult for magic treasures to bear than being abandoned by Dao Ancestor Hong Jun.
For a moment, they became dejected, feeling that their earlier impassioned words were nothing but a joke.
Seeing this, and observing Dong Wang Gong, who was somewhat intoxicated amidst the crowd of immortals, Xu Fang couldn't help but sigh deeply.
He had known from the start that Dao Ancestor Hong Jun's enfeoffment of Dong Wang Gong and Xi Wang Mu was not for any good reason.
Based on his memories of the ending of Dong Wang Gong and Xi Wang Mu, Xu Fang was also extremely certain of the Creation Jade Butterfly's words.
Dong Wang Gong and Xi Wang Mu were proclaimed to be the male and female immortals who would govern all the immortals under heaven, a glorious title.
In reality, they were nothing more than tools, helping Dao Ancestor Hong Jun gather fortune and, incidentally, to fish.
While the Dragon Head Crutch and the Kunlun Mirror had learned this cruel truth, the pitiful Dong Wang Gong and Xi Wang Mu were still immersed in the dream of unifying the Primordial Wilderness.
"Alas, this is Dao Ancestor Hong Jun's arrangement. Even if I wanted to intervene, I couldn't."
Xu Fang certainly didn't want to see Dong Wang Gong meet a tragic end in the future, but this was Dao Ancestor Hong Jun's plan. How could he, a mere Grand Unity Golden Immortal, dare to expose it?
He pondered, thinking of finding an opportunity to remind Dong Wang Gong, it wouldn't be in vain since they knew each other.
As for now, they were still within the range of the Zixiao Palace, and with so many immortals present, it was clearly not a good time. Xu Fang certainly wouldn't court death.
"Let's go."
Xu Fang didn't want to interact with Dong Wang Gong here, he said, preparing to leave.
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Everyone, don't be in a hurry to leave. Listen to my words. We are all great beings of heaven and earth. Since we have gathered at the Zixiao Palace, how can we part like this?"
"Why don't we all travel together to Mount Buzhou to seek treasures and explore? How about it?"
