Chapter 385

Hongjun even started from the preparation to become independent of the Heavenly Dao.

It can be said that at this very moment, the Journey to the West World has long since undergone earth-shaking changes.

Such changes were something that Yuanshi and Zhunti during the Investiture of the Gods era could never have imagined.

Therefore, it is quite normal for them to have such thoughts now.

Just as Yuanshi, Zhunti, and the others continued to discuss how to leave.

Tongtian's voice rang in their ears, which made the expressions of Yuanshi and the others sink.

"Tongtian, what exactly do you want to do?" Yuanshi Tianzun questioned, "If you want to kill me, just do it directly; why seal us instead?"

"Kill you?" Tongtian also smiled slightly, "Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, if you really want to leave this world of mine, I have a very simple method: you can self-annihilate, and that will do. I believe the Heavenly Dao will still resurrect you."

Tongtian understood this clearly.

Sages like Yuanshi entrust a core portion of their true spirits to the Heavenly Dao.

Therefore, no matter where they are, the true spirit within the Heavenly Dao will allow them to be resurrected once again.

Unless the enemy possesses power that transcends the Heavenly Dao, preventing the Heavenly Dao's power from resurrecting these Sages.

But such a powerhouse would not bother to deal with these Hunyuan Daluo.

"Self-annihilate." The expressions of Yuanshi Tianzun, Zhunti, and the others changed slightly.

The method Tongtian mentioned could indeed allow them to break free from the seal, but unless absolutely necessary, they did not want to commit suicide.

This is because being resurrected by the Heavenly Dao would have a serious impact on them personally.

Zhunti, who had just been resurrected, felt this even more keenly.

His own soul felt a few more traces of unfamiliarity.

And this sense of unfamiliarity was beyond his control, which was a feeling of great terror.

Therefore, the newly resurrected Zhunti did not want to fall and die again.

Who knows.

If they are killed many times, they will no longer be themselves, but an unfamiliar existence.

Rising successfully from countless living beings to finally become a Hunyuan Daluo powerhouse.

This is opportunity, luck, and constant effort.

Standing almost at the pinnacle of the Primordial World, how could they be willing to give up easily?

Powerhouses also have powerful pride.

This is also true for Zhunti; they do not want to become a shell of themselves, with their minds becoming increasingly dull.

Even if such a body were alive.

At that time, he would likely no longer be himself.

"Fellow Daoist Tongtian is joking." Zhunti hurriedly said from the side, "I believe that since Fellow Daoist Tongtian is not killing us, you must have some plan."

"Fellow Daoist Zhunti, you are very smart." Tongtian laughed, "I do indeed have a purpose for sealing you here. This purpose is still quite simple for you. Of course, if you are unwilling, you can also self-annihilate or be killed by me."

Hearing these words, Yuanshi Tianzun, Jieyin, Zhunti, and the others all shrank back in fear.

What this future Tongtian just said was a naked threat.

If they cannot help Tongtian complete the stated purpose, then Tongtian intends to kill them.

Previously, even with the help of the Heavenly Dao's power, they were no match for this future Tongtian, so if things continue, it will be very unfavorable for them.

Whether they are killed or have to rely on the power of the Heavenly Dao.

This will have more or less of an impact on their souls.

Perhaps.

The power that the future Tongtian just erupted with was only temporary.

But Yuanshi Tianzun and the others dared not gamble.

If they lost the gamble, it would be their doomsday.

This is also the reason why Zhunti and the others did not turn against him.

Furthermore, they believed that this future Tongtian would definitely leave this world.

Otherwise, with such a big shot present, they would likely have other thoughts in their minds.

"Fellow Daoist Tongtian, may I ask what you want us to do?" Jieyin took a deep breath and asked slowly.

This contact with Tongtian was mainly handled by Zhunti and Jieyin.

As for Yuanshi Tianzun, it was because the other party was his junior brother, and that feeling in his heart could not be removed.

Making him show submission in front of Tongtian was more painful than killing him.

This also belongs to the pride in Yuanshi Tianzun's heart.

Therefore, Yuanshi Tianzun remaining silent now is already his limit.

If Tongtian stated what they needed to do and it exceeded the degree Yuanshi Tianzun could accept, perhaps Yuanshi Tianzun would rather self-annihilate.

It can be said that among the many Sages, Yuanshi Tianzun is the proudest.

So sometimes, regarding things like sneak attacks, Yuanshi Tianzun disdains cooperating with the two Western Sages.

Just like during the Journey to the West era, the two Western Sages sought Yuanshi to deal with Houtu together, but Yuanshi ultimately refused and did not agree.

"It's very simple." Tongtian smiled, "You just need to take out all the rare treasures you each possess."

"Impossible." Zhunti's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly said.
