Anyone who thinks or acts like that isn’t just insane—they’re trying to dig a pit and bury others.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why not just create your own heaven, make a low-tier Hong Huang, and play god or tian dao instead?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who says not? I’ve opened a heaven myself and even served as Taishang Daozu for a while—totally fun.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you both—I understand now!” After receiving his two dao friends’ replies, Yuchen Daojun felt joining Bai Yujing might not be the right choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Xiang Xuanqing sensed Hong Jun and Yang Mei were also paying attention to their discussion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cleared his throat and said: “Of course, specifics must be analyzed case by case.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hong Huang is a grand stage—how many primordial deities don’t want to perform a great show on it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No matter what plan or path you choose, regardless of whether the final outcome ends in triumph or failure, you must first step onto this stage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you don’t get on stage, how do you know if it’s right? If you don’t get on stage, how do you know if it’s possible?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As always: the Wu Shang Zhen Jie, the supreme Hong Huang, represents infinite possibilities;”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here, everything is hope. Only those bold enough to dream and act are the true path. What if it works? Right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuchen Daojun watched Xiang Xuanqing as if he were delivering a speech to someone, blinked, and glanced thoughtfully toward the Third Heavenly City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xuanqing continued: “Right now, Bai Yujing as a whole still falls a bit short—but it already has two Da Luo Zun!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What does Da Luo represent? It represents the boundlessness of Dao, infinite possibilities, the symbol of power.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Transcending space and time, once proven, forever proven, overlooking the rise and fall of all worlds through countless eons, watching the endless succession of ages.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With two Da Luo standing here, they are the direction of Dao itself—you can’t help but submit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No other force has this configuration. At least in this era, Bai Yujing leads far ahead in top-tier combat strength.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, Bai Yujing has the power to step onto the stage—no problem at all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two big shots pretending to stroll nodded; Fengdou Dao friend’s words hit right on the mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Love to hear it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Say more!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xuanqing said: “Stepping onto the stage is one thing; how well the play is performed is another; and how much influence you ultimately gain on this stage is yet another.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How so?” Jing Yao naturally took on the role of the straight man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stepping onto the stage? Just having these two Da Luo is enough—everyone can accept that. But if you want to bring your entire organization on stage and claim a significant share of the spotlight, it’s not just about strength—you must offer something valuable to others.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just the word ‘immortal’ isn’t enough. That’s Bai Yujing’s Dao, not the Dao of Hong Huang’s gods. Different Dao, no alliance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You may be powerful, and the gods may cheer for you—but they won’t step down onto the stage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Da Luo strolling unconsciously stopped, smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder they recognized this dao friend—this was spot-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then how can we get everyone to step down and help?” Jing Yao pressed on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xuanqing said: “Generally speaking, it’s a matter of strengthening power and expanding benefits simultaneously. Enough hard power lets you stay on stage longer; greater benefits attract more friends.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But Hong Huang’s reality is a bit different—if you’re too powerful or offer too much benefit, yet fail to produce something genuinely interesting to capture attention, plenty of gods will just ignore you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“True,” Yuchen Daojun and Jing Yao Shangzun nodded simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Primordial deities coexist with Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from their pursuit of Dao, their greatest trait is seeking entertainment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did primordial deities flock to the Long Clan’s Zhushendian and descend with their dao bodies because the Long Clan was powerful and offered great benefits?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No—they were there because the Long Clan knew how to put on a show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Hun Dun Zhu? A Zhushendian? Who’s ever seen such things?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too rare—wouldn’t you go check it out?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Likewise, if you just invent your own Xian Dao, I wouldn’t even glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that you’ve produced two Da Luo, I might glance twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if you’ve got a Bai Yujing Tiancheng, a street full of entertainment gods, then I’m definitely stepping down to see what’s going on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bai Yujing’s current setup is already quite good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xuanqing spoke frankly: “If Bai Yujing merely wants everyone to join in for fun and put on a good show, then its current effect is already very satisfactory.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But if Bai Yujing wants to go further and gain sufficient influence in Hong Huang Zhen Jie, it needs to pull off a grand spectacle!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For example, consider adding something to this ‘immortal’ concept.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?” Yuchen Daojun listened intently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Jun and Yang Mei paused to listen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Kun Xianren, Yin Yang Xianren, and Dian Dao Xianren also strained their ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xuanqing drew out a long pause, then abruptly ended the topic: “I haven’t thought of it yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, let’s drop this—let’s go see the Dushi Xianren.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, he grabbed his two bewildered dao friends and strode boldly into Qionglou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Five Xianren: “????”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait, we were just getting into it—why stop now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finish what you were saying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come back here!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Five Xianren collectively erupted in fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can you please be serious for once?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Direct link: [Recommendation Tickets] [Monthly Tickets]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1261,"2026-06-19T19:10:14.517Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","ff93b85e9f90cdce4f6c09d083714346ec83c278d93e689635ee39a4576a937e","this-honghuang-is-not-serious-chapter-73","this-honghuang-is-not-serious-chapter-71",413,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-honghuang-is-not-serious-cover.jpg"]
