Chapter 111

【Stop the great war……】

【You were stunned, then burst out laughing, looking at this weird guy with a sneer: "Are you an idiot? If you haven't opened your spiritual wisdom, I could actually give you a drop of phoenix blood!"】

【In the guest's astonished expression, you directly revealed the essence of the war.】

【"This war among the three clans isn't something I can stop just because I want to; if I don't fight the dragons and qilins, won't they fight me?"】

【"Advising me is useless; advising the Dragon Clan and Qilin Clan is also useless, because those who truly want to fight are not us, but the three old ancestors!"】

【Your one sentence hit the nail on the head: "We are nothing but their slaves and tools; if you want to end the war, there is only one way…… kill those three!"】

【As soon as these words were spoken, the guest's face immediately showed difficulty: he certainly understands this reasoning, but…… if he had this ability, he would have acted long ago!】

【"Then at least spare my life, okay?"】

「No way! There's definitely a trap! 」

【Damn it! Then you want me to rebel?!】

【Dao…… friend?】

【You urgently asked him to save you, but Hongjun could only break into a sweat: "That…… Daoist friend, actually I think my previous ideas might have been a bit extreme……"】

【"That has nothing to do with me."】

In short, it's impossible to reach the level of the Phoenix Ancestor!

So joining basically equals death……

【Upon hearing this news, you almost fainted: you thought you'd clung to a thick thigh, but unexpectedly it was a thin dog……】

So this problem, the bet is exactly whether this person is Hongjun or not!

「If it's Hongjun, then he should be able to win; he's definitely stronger than the likes of the Phoenix Ancestor, otherwise he couldn't have become the Dao Ancestor! 」

【All kinds of beings in the world are not, as so-called, transformed from the bloodline of foreign evil gods after death; rather, they are all formed from the essence of Pangu alone.】

【You mocked him a few sentences, then began to see him off: "You can't beat him, so do you think I can?"】

And in the Primeval Three Clans era, when most beings took the form of their true bodies, such a humanoid appearance should be rare, and Dao Ancestor Hongjun is one of them.

「You want me to defect? 」

【Thinking won't help; then use your invincible cultivation to think of a solution!】

【The guest was overjoyed; he originally never thought you'd agree, but now you actually did, so without further words he directly signed the treaty.】

【Since the treaty has been established, the tense and stimulating rebel action thus unfolds!】

【Therefore, all beings between heaven and earth are Pangu's descendants; the three clan ancestors are merely formed from three larger clumps of essence, and there is no legal basis to rule the Wasteland!】

【Meanwhile, ordinary slaves don't really care what the Heaven-Opening Giant God looks like, and they're very dissatisfied with the ancestors' oppression, but they also curse you as a "Phoenix traitor" who sells out the clan's interests.】

And the protagonist?

【The Phoenix Ancestor's strength, as a second-generation Phoenix lineage you naturally understand, is completely beyond your ability to oppose…… Although you pity the innocent beings who died in battle, having you stake your life on a completely impossible outcome, you naturally wouldn't be willing……】

【For a moment, you who had expected support stood there stunned, and you actually became the common enemy of the three clans……】

【You wrote a treaty in fluent phoenix seal script, while the guest also wrote one with his wonderful handwriting; although you don't recognize it, you inexplicably feel this script seems more flavorful…… more…… advanced?】

【Is it meaningful?】

【Your remarks shocked the three clans' worldviews, and then…… sparked everyone's opposition!】

【Just because everyone has been fighting for so many years, they already have deep grudges as deep as the Sea of Blood, wishing to exterminate the other two clans completely, while you now jump out saying everyone is actually one family and shouldn't fight each other……】

【This mysterious guest's final invitation to you to join is: "I see you always deliberately avoid killing on the battlefield; I suppose you're the same as me……"】

If we really were to fight the Heavenly Court head-on, Di Jun, Taiyi, Kunpeng and that bunch of peak quasi-sages could absolutely not be toppled by a measly little flood dragon!

【The Phoenix Clan's opposition to you is already like this; needless to say, the Dragon and Qilin clans' hatred is no less!】

【The giant god who opened heaven and earth is a "person", and his name is "Pangu"!】

Obviously it's not the purple "skin" on one's own body, with bipedal walking…… If I'm not mistaken, this should be a person wearing purple clothes…… a person!

【Regardless of whether the ancestors have deceived everyone, we must now fight until all enemies are eliminated!】

After hesitating a moment, Zhao Si decided to gamble on luck:

「Choose A! 」

Zhao Si furrowed his brow, but no matter how he reasoned, he could not analyze any possibility of his own failure.

【Following Hongjun's order, you, the Phoenix Clan's frontline general, immediately publicly issued a shocking rebel declaration: The Wasteland heavens and earth are certainly not created by the so-called Bird God, Dragon God, or Qilin God!】

【It's precisely because he can't beat you that he came to try to persuade you……】

【Seeing all this, you inwardly cried out "Oh no", quickly sought out Daoist Hongjun, after all you act on his orders; now that you're in a situation where everyone shouts to beat you, he naturally becomes your only lifeline.】

【Faced with this quite tempting invitation to join, you are somewhat hesitant, because while you fully recognize the disparity in strength between us and the enemy, you also tire of endless slaughter, so you choose (?)】

Zhao Si involuntarily let out a sigh of relief, the bet is on Hongjun!

I don't know, because nowhere above does it say how high his cultivation is, but cultivation in the Wasteland background has always been a strict hierarchy, with huge gaps between successive realms, so there's generally no possibility of challenging a higher stage.

【【Some year, some month, some day】, Immortal Dao Hongjun and Phoenix Clan's Jiaoming established a treaty, jointly ending the Three Clans War!】

「Indeed it's Hongjun! 」

【You naturally already knew Hongjun isn't as strong as the three clan ancestors, but presumably the gap isn't that big, right?】

【This strange address made you blink; there's no such term among the three clans, perhaps this guy made it up himself.】

For example, Jin Bing went through three cycles of rebirth before truly understanding everything, finally becoming a disciple of a Sage, using the Sage's authority to directly imprison the invincible boss Di Jun in a ban position, which made it possible to win and clear the game.

【Hongjun gave an embarrassed smile: "Actually it's still somewhat big……"】

【The enraged Phoenix Ancestor directly declared you a conspirator ambitious to overthrow the Phoenix Clan; your former friends also all cut ties with you, declaring they don't support any of your views at all, and they remain loyal solely to the Phoenix Ancestor, this one sun!】

This problem……

In short, the pact has been established!

You chose option A, agreed—I've long been fed up with those three old geezers!

However, the Hongjun Daoist who originally slapped his chest and confidently pulled you into the group is now also flustered!

You thought for a moment and spoke the name that Ancestor Phoenix originally gave you.

The Three Clan Ancestors made all beings oppose each other, aiming to fulfill their own ambition, to oppress all spirits forever and enslave all beings!

After some thought, you ultimately still wanted to take a gamble, thus doing a complete turnabout from your previous attitude and gladly accepting the guest's invitation to join!

Zhao Si had already noticed the game's description of this "guest" from the start.

"Are you truly unwilling to join me in creating a Primordial Wasteland without war?"

However, Zhao Si found it increasingly strange; this netherworld game's usual trait is to throw various difficulties at oneself, emphasizing asymmetry.

After all, Hongjun is no mere figurehead!

As long as Hongjun doesn't drop the ball, this is practically a guaranteed win……as long as Hongjun doesn't drop the ball……

"May I ask your name, fellow Daoist?" you inquired curiously.

After all, the ultimate victor of the Three Clan Great Calamity is Hongjun!

"Could it be that this time I can clear this new chapter in just one round?"

You: ……

But there is still a variable here!

"The one wearing purple robes—could that really be the later Dao Ancestor Hongjun?"

【A: Agree, I've long disliked those three old fogeys! B: Refuse, the bird knows its own worth!】

You hoped Hongjun could suppress all enemies for you, but Hongjun, sweating profusely, said: "Fellow Daoist, don't hide it from you—compared to the Three Clan Ancestors, I actually have no such power at all……"

The guest smiled faintly: "May I ask your name, fellow Daoist?"

……

Zhao Si hesitated a bit:

Like the protagonist, he also thought fighting was bad, but if he opposed fighting, then Ancestor Phoenix would become the boss!

How strong Ancestor Phoenix currently is remains unclear, but at least by the late stage of the Three Clan Great War, it had already become a Quasi-Sage.

【"I am a humble Daoist, Hongjun!"】

With Hongjun, the future Immortal Dao Ancestor, on our side, we can basically say victory is assured.

【"Jiaoming."】

"The Three Clan Ancestors are deceiving all spirits, so I, the Phoenix Clan General Jiaoming, rebel from today onward!"

【"Ji!"】
