Chapter 133

At some point, at some gathering, during some fate, the despicable and shameless demon ancestor Rahu suddenly attacked the self-styled 'Ancestor of All Spirits', Old Ancestor Jiaoming, exploiting the ancestor's trust, striking him and leaving him severely wounded!

As soon as the news came out, the Wilderness was shocked!

Firstly, the Myriad Spirit descendants of your side were at a loss: "Isn't Rahu one of our own? Wasn't he just helping us kill the opposing Three Clans? How did he suddenly defect?"

After a brief moment of confusion, they immediately responded spontaneously, denouncing Rahu for betraying trust and abandoning righteousness, while angrily condemning the Three Clans' despicable tactics of resorting to subversion when they couldn't win.

The Three Clans, feigning innocence—how despicable!

The Three Clans:???

Sigh...

No, I can't.

Anyway, someone has to bear all this—why can't it be him, Hongjun?

But... it's just a bit of wind and frost.

Not only did he injure the Patriarch himself, but he also slaughtered the innocent lower ranks; this despicable, shameless act directly caused Rahu's reputation to plummet below freezing point, with everyone in the Wilderness cursing him.

The Three Ancestors are the root of all turmoil, and also the main factor directly forcing Jiaoming onto this sacrificial path of harming others.

But Lao Yinbi is ultimately Lao Yinbi; his psychological fortitude far surpasses that of Jiaoming, that little bird, and after a moment of being flustered, he quickly pulled himself together.

Those who achieve great things do not fuss over minor details!

After ending the dark old era, he still had to pioneer a bright new age; the future of the Wilderness must follow his lead to stay on the right path—he trusts no one else.

Jiaoming's hollow gaze turned toward Hongjun, and he murmured:

"If no one knows, can I pretend it never happened? Can I live on with a clear conscience? Can I accept praise without changing my expression?"

Hongjun tried to persuade him again.

Once Jiaoming clearly sensed this, the hallucination in his eyes only intensified……

Just that.

Could it be that the three Patriarchs had discussed this in private?

Although they were confused, upon hearing that Rahu had backstabbed Jiaoming, the Three Ancestors joyfully clapped their hands: "With this backstab from Rahu, haven't you been greatly weakened? Roughly speaking, this victory is assured!"

This is one of the reasons he never wanted Jiaoming to take this path; everything else could be said, but Jiaoming's mindset is wrong!

If they were those heaven-defying Three Ancestors, even if countless more died, they wouldn't feel the slightest negative emotion, for they never regard others as anything at all.

Upon thinking of this, the Three Ancestors were suddenly startled!

And Jiaoming's special mental state is later called a 'heart demon'……

The Three Ancestors also looked at each other, indicating that this was certainly not their own doing.

While the Three Ancestors were half relieved, half doubtful, anomalous phenomena gathered on the small volcano of the Southern Wilderness, and the earth-shaking power of the Southern Wilderness actually condensed onto a single person!

Hongjun sighed:

"You don't need to do this at all; according to my plan, just let Rahu detain the Myriad Spirits—you need do nothing but wait for Rahu to kill the Three Ancestors, after which I will kill Rahu."

Hongjun's plan was so perfect that Jiaoming could join him to become a peerless hero who slays Rahu and saves the Myriad Spirits, with a boundless glorious future and praise from the Myriad Spirits.

……

Dying gives the Patriarch increased cultivation—that's your blessing; why should I bear any psychological burden?

As for Hongjun, although his mindset doesn't reach the beastly level of the Three Ancestors, he can still be ruthless when needed.

……

"Is there a difference?"

Jiaoming lowered his head, his voice full of despair and helplessness:

"I'm not you—I can't fool myself!"

Meanwhile, the Myriad Spirits of the Three Clans all turned pale, panicking!

But now he has begun slaughtering the most numerous Jiaoming descendants—won't he soon become strong enough to be uncontrollable?

The Three Clans themselves are bewildered, wondering when their side ever got involved with Rahu, this killing madman—"We have a connection with Rahu," yet we ourselves don't even know?

Against the backdrop of such a sage-like figure, he suddenly felt his perfect blueprint rather base, with a sense of deceiving the world and stealing fame……

Jiaoming sat blankly beneath the tree, raising his gaze with the True Spirit Divine Eye toward the boundless True Spirit light points.

At that moment, no matter which faction, all were astonished; and upon learning that Patriarch Jiaoming was breaking through, the Myriad Spirits of your side naturally cheered, loudly acclaiming the Patriarch's prestige.

Jiaoming's gaze gradually revealed madness:

【In some year, some meeting, some fortune, Rahu slaughtered the Myriad Spirits of the five directions, yet he did not break through as swiftly as the Three Ancestors had feared.】

【And with the birth of a quasi-sage-level powerhouse, the history of the primordial Wilderness will turn a new page, ushering in a brand-new era, revealing its own dawn.】

"Once I attain the Dao, I will also grant you a position of Dao attainment; you will still be the perfect, flawless common ancestor of the Myriad Spirits……"

"All those who are sacrificed will turn into shackles and iron cages; the shackles will bind my feet, the iron cage will confine my wings…… I will never be free again!"

Since the creation of heaven and earth, the first quasi-sage-level powerhouse is about to be born!

……

He also possesses a public-spirited heart.

Countless descendants who believed 'Father' could lead them to a good life are being sacrificed one by one at 'Father's' command……

"I've said it all along—just let Rahu handle everything……"

After sacrificing others, Jiaoming could not deceive his own heart, choosing to atone with his death.

No one will know these glorious ones' sordid past—only praise, no infamy……

【But the result is that, as Rahu slaughters more and more, he does not simultaneously grow stronger, as if his ability to plunder the True Spirits of all beings has failed……】

【What madness caused Rahu to suddenly pull a backstab……】

The True Spirits sensed that 'Father' was cultivating, and so they spontaneously followed suit, continuously pouring vast magical power into Jiaoming's Three Flowers and Five Qi, gradually pushing him toward a novel realm never before reached in the Wilderness.

He wants to kill the three ancestors before he dies; that could be considered a kind of revenge in some sense, I guess……

But Jiaoming simply couldn't do it; he lacked the heart-nature of the Three Ancestors like beasts, and couldn't, like Hongjun, achieve a righteous cut as he pleased.

【Three Ancestors:?】

With such a kind yet weak disposition, being an ordinary person would be fine, yet he happened to sit in the supreme position that governs the future of countless beings, and he had to act against his nature to do this cruel thing.

This sacrifice is both a persecution of the myriad spirits and a persecution of Jiaoming……

Hongjun stood to the side, seeing the junior's whole body exuding a thick negative aura, and he also sighed helplessly.

【The Three Ancestors were originally just watching for fun, but as Luo Hou's large-scale slaughter unfolded, they finally realized the seriousness of the problem!】

「You can! 」

Though it is an illusion, yet it is not an illusion, for such scenes are indeed occurring in the world.

【But Luo Hou seems not to care about public opinion…… Indeed, a top-tier great divine abilities user need not worry about the evaluation of a bunch of ants; in the Primordial Wasteland, strength is supreme, and insults and curses lacking strength are merely impotent rage.】

Selfishness exists.

Hongjun naturally saw his resolve to die, wanted to advise him a few more words, but hesitated and could only let out a sigh:

Perhaps for Jiaoming, battling the Three Ancestors, slaying them, and then self-destructing in the end would be the best outcome.

Such a influx of true spirits can only mean one thing: Luo Hou is madly slaughtering his bloodline!

Jiaoming trembles all over; closing his eyes brings endless horrific visions:

There are wails, bloodshed, severed limbs, flesh and blood flying everywhere.

Southern Wasteland, small volcano.

【After this nefarious Luo Hou kills living beings, the true spirits that should have returned to the various ancestral elders are instead sucked away by him through secret arts.】

【But before they could even celebrate, another shocking piece of news spread: this backstabbing villain Luo Hou actually launched a slaughter against the camp of the myriad spirits' common ancestors……】

【Previously he only killed the three tribes with relatively few numbers, so he couldn't quickly become strong; the Three Ancestors combined are enough to slay him!】

【Accompanied by a vast and heavy heavenly might, an unprecedented powerful aura shakes heaven and earth, signifying that a supreme existence has descended into the world!】

【The three elders were even more caught off guard, able only to watch helplessly as you gradually break through……】

Failing that, he can perform a righteous cut:

All the bad deeds are done by Luo Hou; what does it have to do with me, Hongjun?

He can deceive others, he can deceive himself; anyway, the goal must be achieved!

Hongjun also has some doubts:

Jiaoming's attitude toward life, death, and karmic sin deeply moved this old schemer who claims to be of the righteous camp.

"Rather than silently fading away in the future, let me die in a blaze of glory!"

【In short, Luo Hou began to slaughter the camp of the myriad spirits' common ancestors in an uncharacteristic manner: he wants to kill the three tribes, he also wants to kill your bloodline, slaughtering until everyone on the battlefield trembles at the wind, thus becoming completely a Chaos Evil……】

"Even if you drag me into the light, my heart remains dark; I will not live in hiding, only self-destruct! This kind of light and freedom is not what I need; I am not worthy to live in the light!"

Countless points of light are pouring in from all corners of the Primordial Wasteland; children who died in disaster naturally come to seek their father……

He doesn't want to deceive others, nor himself:

The fact is, he himself orchestrated this slaughter!

【History has arrived at a critical juncture that determines the path forward!】
