Chapter 643

If not for Ancestor Hongjun merging with the Dao of Heaven, Luo Fu did not believe Ancestor Hongjun could do anything to him in the Primordial World.

The most powerful force in the entire Primordial World is the Dao of Heaven.

Of course, Ancestor Hongjun has merged with the Dao of Heaven.

In Luo Fu's view, it is actually easier to deal with.

Because Ancestor Hongjun is the Dao of Heaven, but the Dao of Heaven is not Ancestor Hongjun.

About this point, there is mostly speculation.

With his current strength, Luo Fu dares not yet test Ancestor Hongjun.

Though it is speculation, Luo Fu is over ninety percent certain.

The Dao of Heaven is not easily mastered, especially the Dao of Heaven of the Primordial World.

The Primordial World begins at the Half-Boundless Dao level.

Refining the Primordial World is equivalent to refining a Half-Boundless Dao-level powerhouse.

Luo Fu cannot fully confirm Ancestor Hongjun's origins.

But Luo Fu can confirm that Ancestor Hongjun is absolutely not a Half-Boundless Dao-level being.

Half-Boundless Dao-level beings are like Pangu, who seek solely to break through to the Boundless Dao level, willing to sacrifice their lives to achieve it.

They would not, like Ancestor Hongjun, spend countless Wushuyuan Society eons for the sake of a mere Primordial World.

Since Ancestor Hongjun is not a Half-Boundless Dao-level being, it is not easy for him to refine the Dao of Heaven.

In fact, he might accidentally be corrupted and refined by the Dao of Heaven in return.

Whether preaching in the Purple Cloud Palace or meddling in countless great calamities, Ancestor Hongjun's arrangements are undoubtedly preparations for merging himself with the Dao.

This is evident from the fact that Ancestor Hongjun still interferes behind the scenes in the great calamities, without directly ruling the entire Primordial World as the Dao of Heaven.

Ancestor Hongjun has not fully refined the Dao of Heaven.

Since Ancestor Hongjun has not fully refined the Dao of Heaven, he has weaknesses.

In addition, Ancestor Hongjun has another fatal flaw.

That is, the Dao of Heaven has not yet fully dominated the Primordial World.

In other words, the current Primordial World remains ownerless.

As long as the Dao of Heaven has not fully controlled the Primordial World, it is not invincible.

Precisely because he knows these things, Luo Fu has the confidence to fear neither Ancestor Hongjun nor the Dao of Heaven.

Otherwise, Luo Fu would absolutely not have accepted the task of reversing the great calamity now.

Even if forced to accept it, he would only save Sun Wukong, then directly storm the Buddhist realm to see if this counts as reversing the great calamity.

If it does not count, Luo Fu will flee at the first opportunity.

Luo Fu has a clear sense of his own strength.

He can suppress ordinary Saints with a mere wave of his hand.

He can hold his own against Dao-level powerhouses.

Even if he cannot break through, protecting his own life is no problem.

As for Half-Boundless Dao-level beings, upon encountering them, Luo Fu will run as far away as possible.

Not to mention Luo Fu does not yet possess Dao-level strength—even if he did, he would never be foolish enough to seek death by confronting a Half-Boundless Dao-level being.

To a Half-Boundless Dao-level being, a mere Dao-level powerhouse is no different from an ant.

Pangu, when he cleaved open heaven and earth, slew the three thousand Chaos Divine Demons, most of whom were Dao-level powerhouses.

Yet such powerhouses, Pangu could slay several with a single axe blow.

Pangu was a Half-Boundless Dao-level being.

"May I ask the Three Sovereigns, aside from Hunting Heaven, do you have any other methods to break the human race's predicament?"

Luo Fu did not explain, but instead asked the Three Sovereigns a counter-question.

"This..."

Upon hearing Luo Fu's counter-question, the Three Sovereigns fell silent.

As Luo Fu said, they had no means to resolve the human race's predicament.

Otherwise, they would not have been imprisoned in the Fire Cloud Cave.

"But..."

After a moment of silence, Sovereign Fu Xi spoke hesitantly, but then swallowed his words as if he had remembered something.

"Seal Heaven, Lock Earth!"

Without waiting for Sovereign Fu Xi's reminder, Luo Fu saw his concern and immediately summoned the Chaos Pearl, sealing off all surrounding space.

In fact, since Luo Fu appeared in the Fire Cloud Cave, he had already used the Chaos Pearl to seal it—only the Three Sovereigns had not sensed his action.

"I have sealed the Fire Cloud Cave; even the Dao of Heaven cannot spy on our conversation. Sovereign, speak your mind freely."

After sealing the surroundings, Luo Fu retracted the Chaos Pearl and calmly signaled Sovereign Fu Xi to continue.

"Good!"

Sovereign Fu Xi glanced at him and raised no objection. For some reason, Luo Fu carried a unique aura that inexplicably inspired trust.

"But Ancestor Hongjun has already merged himself with the Dao; the Dao of Heaven dominates the Three Realms. To resist Ancestor Hongjun, we must face the Dao of Heaven directly—even Saints are merely puppets of the Dao. How can we oppose the Dao of Heaven?"

Without unnecessary words, Sovereign Fu Xi directly asked the crux of the matter.

As a Sovereign of Human Dao, and formerly Nüwa's elder brother, Sovereign Fu Xi knew the secrets of the Three Realms very well.

Even the true nature of the Saints, Sovereign Fu Xi understood to some extent.

Precisely because he understood, Sovereign Fu Xi felt powerless.

The Saints are already the strongest in the Three Realms.

All beings in the Three Realms find it immensely difficult to oppose the Saints.

And even the Saints are merely puppets of the Dao of Heaven.

If one cannot oppose the Saints, let alone resist Ancestor Hongjun and the Dao of Heaven.

This question was not only what Heavenly Emperor Fu Xi wished to ask, but also what Earthly Emperor Shen Nong and Human Emperor Xuanyuan wished to ask.

Heavenly Emperor Fu Xi is the foremost of the Three Emperors.

The Three Emperors are one; most often, Heavenly Emperor Fu Xi speaks for all three.

The question just asked represents not only himself, but also the Three Emperors.

How can one oppose the Dao of Heaven?

If this question cannot be resolved, resistance against Ancestor Hongjun is but empty words.

"Opposing the Dao of Heaven is actually not difficult!"

Luo Fu was not surprised by Heavenly Emperor Fu Xi's question.

He knew well that how to oppose the Dao of Heaven was the key to the entire plan.

If he did not provide a method to counter the Dao of Heaven, the Three Emperors would never believe him.

Unlike Daoist Yuan Feng, Beginning Qilin, and Ancestral Dragon, Luo Fu has done nothing to save the lives of the Three Emperors.

Moreover, the current human race, though puppets, occupies the position of the central protagonists of heaven and earth.

Without absolute certainty, the Three Emperors would never gamble with him.

As for opposing the Dao of Heaven, Luo Fu has long had a plan—he now merely needs to complete it.
