Chapter 1181

Therefore, the Three Sovereigns felt no hesitation in dedicating their own destiny to support humanity's Dao.

Humanity's Dao may not rival Heaven's Dao, but it is an entity of equal rank.

Since it is of equal rank, humanity's Dao can naturally protect sages and semi-sages, granting them immortality and indestructibility.

And this immortality and indestructibility cannot be broken by Ancestor Hongjun.

Ancestor Hongjun controls the life and death of the Six Sages of the Primordial World because he controls Heaven's Dao, not because he possesses a method to bypass Heaven's Dao and kill sages.

Heaven's Dao has been eroded by Ancestor Hongjun, but humanity's Dao has not.

Ancestor Hongjun cannot control humanity's Dao, so he certainly cannot extinguish humanity's sages.

From the moment humanity's Dao coalesced into form, the fate of Wan Ling—especially the fate of the human race—changed forever.

Even Ancestor Hongjun could no longer treat Wan Ling or the human race as puppets to be toyed with at will.

······

Chaotic Void.

"To use humanity's Dao to suppress me is still far from enough—humanity's Dao is not yet a match for Heaven's Dao."

Ancestor Hongjun's wisdom is not weak; few in the entire Primordial World possess wisdom or tactics to rival his.

Previously, Luo Fu had not revealed his trump card, so Ancestor Hongjun could not see through Luo Fu's true intentions.

When Luo Fu coalesced the position of humanity's sage, Ancestor Hongjun instantly understood Luo Fu's goal: to use humanity's Dao to suppress him.

Ancestor Hongjun was furious that Luo Fu had forged an entirely new path to attain the position of humanity's sage, liberating humanity's Dao and rendering all his countless yuanhui efforts meaningless.

Had his reason not held, Ancestor Hongjun would have recklessly mobilized all his power to crush Luo Fu outright.

Suppress humanity's Dao, devour Heaven's Dao, and become the master of the world.

This has been Ancestor Hongjun's goal for countless years.

But Luo Fu's actions rendered Ancestor Hongjun's goal utterly impossible.

Without the ability to suppress humanity's Dao, even if Ancestor Hongjun controls Heaven's Dao, he can never become the master of the Primordial World.

In short, the card Luo Fu played shattered all of Ancestor Hongjun's efforts over countless years.

For an ordinary being, fury would have already clouded their mind by now—but Ancestor Hongjun is no ordinary being.

Had Ancestor Hongjun been so easily overcome by emotion, he could never have survived the hands of Pangu, nor slaughtered countless reincarnated Chaotic Divine Demons, defeated Patriarch Luo Hou, or monopolized the entire Primordial World alone.

Ancestor Hongjun is, at his core, an extremely rational being; without such rationality, he could never have spent countless yuanhui laying plans under Heaven's Dao's erosion, slowly consuming it bit by bit.

The current situation is indeed a significant blow to Ancestor Hongjun.

His countless yuanhui of planning has been undone in an instant.

It is as if nearly all of Ancestor Hongjun's efforts over these yuanhui have been wasted.

Most importantly, the chance to completely suppress humanity's Dao has been lost forever with its coalescence.

Even if Ancestor Hongjun spends a hundred or a thousand times more effort afterward, he will never again have such an opportunity.

Yet for Ancestor Hongjun, the situation is not yet hopeless—Heaven's Dao remains under his control, and both humanity's Dao and Earth's Dao are still suppressed by Heaven's Dao; there is still room to recover.

His consciousness merged entirely with Heaven's Dao, and he unleashed all of Heaven's Dao's power without reservation.

At this moment, Ancestor Hongjun no longer cared whether using Heaven's Dao's power would provoke its autonomous consciousness; suppressing humanity's Dao was far more important than suppressing Heaven's Dao's autonomy.

Earth's Dao is not like humanity's Dao—Earth's Dao is currently incomplete, and Heaven's Dao seized the initiative; aside from Gai Jiuyou's Underworld, all other authorities have been eroded by Heaven's Dao.

As long as Heaven's Dao can seal off Gai Jiuyou's Underworld, it can greatly delay the growth of Earth's Dao.

Earth's Dao's growth requires nourishment from the authority of the earth and the perfection of the Six Realms of Reincarnation.
