Chapter 1453: The Plan to Monopolize the Primordial World

Seeing that Luo Fu had developed a relatively clear understanding of the dark, chaotic energy, Ancestor Hongjun began to speak of his helplessness.

Hearing this, Luo Fu suddenly understood why Ancestor Hongjun had not, like the Ancestor Hongjun of the Journey to the West World, fully suppressed the myriad spirits of the Primordial World, but instead encouraged them, and even felt great joy upon learning of the breakthrough into Hunyuan Da Luo Jinxian.

In fact, Ancestor Hongjun's joy was genuine, with no pretense.

This was not because the Ancestor Hongjun of the Primordial World possessed higher moral character.

Rather, it was due to the pressure of the dark, chaotic energy, forcing Ancestor Hongjun to act thus.

In fact, whether the Ancestor Hongjun of the Journey to the West World or the Ancestor Hongjun of the Primordial World, their personalities were quite similar.

Under normal circumstances, identical beings across parallel timelines tend to have similar personalities.

Beings in parallel timelines often make different choices not because of differing personalities, but because of differing environments.

In the Journey to the West World, the environment was peaceful, with no external enemies.

Under such conditions, Ancestor Hongjun would certainly choose to monopolize the entire world, suppress the myriad spirits of the Primordial World, and better devour the Heavenly Dao to become the master of the Primordial World.

The Ancestor Hongjun of the Primordial World likely had the same initial intention as the Ancestor Hongjun of the Journey to the West World.

He too wished to monopolize the Primordial World and then devour the Heavenly Dao.

However, after beginning to devour the Heavenly Dao, Ancestor Hongjun discovered that the Primordial World contained a bomb—the Seal Gate.

The existence of the Seal Gate rendered Ancestor Hongjun's plan to monopolize the Primordial World utterly futile.

Ancestor Hongjun's helplessness in his words was genuine.

Before devouring the Heavenly Dao, he never imagined that what he thought was a great windfall was actually a massive trap.

Unfortunately, by the time he chose to devour the Heavenly Dao, Ancestor Hongjun had no choice left.

Devouring the Heavenly Dao is no easy matter.

Likewise, once one chooses to devour the Heavenly Dao, withdrawing from it is no easy matter.

When Ancestor Hongjun chose to devour the Heavenly Dao, part of his true spirit and Primordial Spirit had already fused with the Heavenly Dao; unless he abandoned that portion of his true spirit and Primordial Spirit, he could only continue devouring the Heavenly Dao.

Clearly, Ancestor Hongjun did not wish to abandon that portion of his true spirit and Primordial Spirit.

Of course, Ancestor Hongjun also did not wish to abandon the chance to devour the Heavenly Dao.

After all, devouring the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World was also a great opportunity for Ancestor Hongjun.

Thus, even knowing it was a trap, Ancestor Hongjun had no choice but to grit his teeth and accept it.

Precisely because of this trap, Ancestor Hongjun did not suppress the myriad spirits of the Primordial World, but instead hoped more strong beings would emerge among them.

Yet the Primordial World had existed for too short a time to support the birth of a Hunyuan Da Luo Jinxian.

Ancestor Hongjun did not expect the current Primordial World to produce a Hunyuan Da Luo Jinxian.

Luo Fu's appearance brought Ancestor Hongjun many surprises.

Luo Fu's previous series of actions had repeatedly astonished Ancestor Hongjun.

Ancestor Hongjun held Luo Fu in high regard and paid close attention to him.

He greatly looked forward to Luo Fu breaking through to become a Hunyuan Da Luo Jinxian as soon as possible.
