Chapter 891: Human Dao Rebellion! Seal the Karmic Bonds! Mysterious Gift!

The karmic curse power generated by billions upon billions of believers was a major problem for Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin, but meant nothing to Ancestor Hongjun.

Whoosh!

Heavenly Dao power flowed, directly suppressing the karmic curse marks on the true spirits of Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin, restoring their true spirit reconstruction to normal speed.

Moreover, Ancestor Hongjun continued to mobilize Heavenly Dao power, aiming to erase all karmic curse power outright.

Boom!

At this moment, Human Dao—long suppressed by Heavenly Dao—seemed to sense the karmic curse power and suddenly erupted in rebellion.

When Ancestor Hongjun merely suppressed the karmic curse power, Human Dao's reaction was not severe.

But as soon as Ancestor Hongjun began annihilating the karmic curse power, Human Dao erupted violently, relentlessly striking against Heavenly Dao's seals.

The karmic debts owed by Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin were almost entirely Human Dao karmic debts.

These Human Dao karmic debts were also one of Human Dao's essential components.

Forcibly erasing these karmic curses was equivalent to forcibly erasing a portion of Human Dao's power—how could Human Dao not rebel?

Sensing Human Dao's rebellion, a flicker of helplessness passed through Ancestor Hongjun's eyes.

The Three Dao—Heavenly, Earthly, and Human—are among the most powerful Great Dao of a world, each capable of mobilizing the power of Chaos Void.

Heavenly Dao, as the foremost of the Three Dao, was the first to emerge and, for now, remains the most powerful.

But this does not mean Heavenly Dao can tower above the other two Dao.

In fact, since the opening of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Earthly Dao's power has grown rapidly.

Had Earthly Dao not been incomplete, and had the Divine Mark War not shattered the Honghuang land into fragments, damaging its ancestral earth veins and thus severely weakening Earthly Dao's power,

Ancestor Hongjun could never have compelled Heavenly Dao to encroach upon Earthly Dao's domain.

Compared to Earthly Dao, Human Dao was even more troublesome.

What is Heavenly Dao?

The operation of yin and yang is called Heavenly Dao.

Heavenly Dao is the law governing the movement of sun, moon, stars, heaven, earth, and all things.

What is Earthly Dao?

The vastness of sun, moon, stars, and earth is Earthly Dao.

Heavenly Dao is the law of the world's operation; Earthly Dao is the world itself.

In simpler terms, Heavenly Dao is the law of mutual transformation among all things—such as sunrise and sunset, thunder and rain. Earthly Dao is the sun, moon, rain, and dew themselves.

Heavenly Dao represents law; Earthly Dao represents matter.

Heavenly Dao is the origin of all things; without Heavenly Dao, the world could not be called a world, only dead matter.

Earthly Dao is the root of all things; without matter, nothing could take form.

Human Dao lies between Heavenly Dao and Earthly Dao, symbolizing the growth and reproduction of all things—it is the Way of Wan Ling.

The Three Dao—Heavenly, Earthly, and Human—must unite to form a vibrant world of life; none can be missing.

Earthly Dao gives birth to all things and embraces them all—it is the most unassuming and most tranquil of the Three Dao.

Heavenly Dao is constant, supreme, and cold.

Human Dao values change, overflowing with emotion and desire.

Heavenly Dao and Human Dao are nearly naturally opposed.

Earthly Dao's power stems from the world's matter itself; if the world does not develop, Earthly Dao's power will not develop.

Heavenly Dao is the law of the world's operation, determining its development and change.

Thus, Heavenly Dao's power is nearly a hundredfold greater than Earthly Dao's.

Human Dao is different: its power comes from Wan Ling, and Wan Ling's development is not entirely controlled by Heavenly Dao.

Under normal circumstances, Wan Ling's development has virtually no limit.

Which means Human Dao's power has no limit.

If Heavenly Dao cannot curb Wan Ling's development, Human Dao will eventually surpass Heavenly Dao.

And this is the most fundamental contradiction between Human Dao and Heavenly Dao.

Neither side wishes to be completely suppressed.

Earthly Dao, being incomplete and partially eroded by Heavenly Dao, has suffered severe decline.

Under Heavenly Dao's suppression, even the Underworld cannot emerge, posing no threat whatsoever to Heavenly Dao.

But Human Dao is different.

After the Divine Mark War, Human Dao developed with explosive speed.

In merely dozens of Yuan Hui, hundreds of Pre-Saints emerged, and the number of Luo Jinxian was even greater.

In addition, the number of base-level cultivators increased by countless times.

It was precisely because of this vast base of cultivators that the number of Luo Jinxian grew rapidly.

The power of sentient beings is the source of Human Dao's power.

As the power of sentient beings grew, Human Dao's power swelled manyfold.

Had Ancestor Hongjun not earlier restricted Human Dao, keeping it fragmented and unable to coalesce fully or manifest openly,

Heavenly Dao could never have completely sealed off Human Dao and treated it as its vassal.

Because Human Dao had no Saints, it was usually in a scattered state, left to be butchered by Heavenly Dao.

But the karmic power on Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin was simply too immense—erasing this karmic power meant erasing a portion of Human Dao's own power.

When its very foundation was threatened, even instinct-driven Human Dao could not help but erupt in rebellion.

Under normal circumstances, Ancestor Hongjun paid no mind to Human Dao's rebellion.

A scattered Human Dao, no matter how violent its rebellion, could still be suppressed by Heavenly Dao.

But right now is a critical moment; if he massively mobilizes Heavenly Dao energy, it could severely disrupt his plan to devour the Heavenly Dao.

If not for the downfall of Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin possibly involving the primordial chaos demons lurking behind the scenes, Ancestor Hongjun wouldn't even want to expend the minimal Heavenly Dao energy required to resurrect them.

Erasing the karmic curse energy consumes considerable Heavenly Dao energy, and suppressing the rebellion of Human Dao requires even more Heavenly Dao energy.

Add to that the Heavenly Dao energy needed to resurrect Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin.

Consuming such vast amounts of Heavenly Dao energy in a short time has already reached Ancestor Hongjun's warning threshold.

After a moment's thought, Ancestor Hongjun chose not to erase the karmic curse energy, but instead sealed the sand-filtering karmic curse energy on the true spirits of Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin using Heavenly Dao energy.
