Unlike ordinary gods and immortals in Journey to the West, the top beings in the Journey to the West world have some speculations about the corruption of the Heavenly Dao.

Heavenly Court.

The Jade Emperor was utterly dejected and even despairing because of the great defeat of Hongjun Laozu.

Seeing the sudden change in the celestial phenomena, he was filled with astonishment:

"What?! This... Master Hongjun... he's fallen into demonic possession?!"

As the ruler of Heaven, the Jade Emperor is connected to the Heavenly Dao.

He could sense that the demonic transformation of the Heavenly Dao did not come from external invasion, but from within!

The Heavenly Way is formed from the rules of Journey to the West and has no thoughts or consciousness, so how could it possibly become demonic?

It is quite obvious that the demonic transformation of the Heavenly Dao at this moment must have been caused by the Ancestor Hongjun, who merged with the Dao!

...

Upon confirming that Hongjun Laozu had fallen into demonic possession, the Jade Emperor's body trembled involuntarily.

"Master Hongjun said that Ancestor Yin and others are evil spirits from beyond the realm..."

"In the end, he himself became possessed by demons!"

"This is absolutely terrible!"

"Whether Master Hongjun wins or Emperor Yin wins, I'm definitely doomed..."

Seeing his current predicament, the Jade Emperor felt even more desperate.

Originally, he had been hoping that Hongjun Laozu would win.

But now, even the Grandmaster Hongjun has fallen into demonic possession.

If Hongjun Laozu wins, the entire world will become a demonic realm, and he, as the ruler of the Heavenly Court, will be the first to be affected, just like the Heavenly Dao itself, being corrupted.

The Jade Emperor certainly didn't want to become an evil demon!

If Yin Shengzu wins, as the most direct descendant of Hongjun Laozu, he is destined to be purged.

In other words, no matter who wins, the Jade Emperor's fate will be very bad.

This made the Jade Emperor feel extremely desperate!

...

At the same time.

Lingshan.

When the Buddhas saw the sudden change in the celestial phenomena and the overwhelming demonic energy, their expressions all changed drastically.

They believed that the current appearance of demonic energy was the work of Yin Zicheng.

Inside the Great Thunder Temple.

The Buddha observed the changing celestial phenomena, his brow furrowed.

"That's so strange!"

"Since there's been no sign of any action from the extraterrestrial demons, how could the Heavenly Dao have been corrupted?"

"Moreover, their corruption of the Heavenly Dao should be carried out by following the Heavenly Dao's eyes... but in the current situation, the Heavenly Dao is clearly being corrupted from within!"

"Something's wrong! Something's really wrong! Could it be...?"

A very surprising thought arose in the mind of the Buddha.

He guessed that perhaps the Hongjun Ancestor couldn't withstand the successive blows and had fallen into demonic possession!

...

Biyou Palace.

After escaping his predicament, the Tongtian Sect Leader was in high spirits.

He was in high spirits when he suddenly noticed a change in the celestial phenomena of the Journey to the West world.

The Master of Heaven frowned deeply:

"This... the Heavenly Dao has actually been corrupted by demonic energy!"

"That guy Hongjun actually turned into a demon just because he couldn't defeat Yin Shengzu?"

"Is his mental fortitude really that bad?"

The Tongtian Sect Leader was prepared to renounce his status as a Heavenly Saint, just like the Goddess Nuwa.

But he hasn't had time to give up yet.

As a sage of the Heavenly Dao, the Tongtian Sect Master's primordial spirit resides in the Heavenly Dao, enabling him to sense changes in the Heavenly Dao immediately.

He could clearly sense that the Heavenly Dao was being corrupted from within.

The source of the infection was none other than the Hongjun Ancestor!

...

The Tongtian Sect Leader held Hongjun Laozu in utter contempt for his tendency to succumb to demonic possession when he was unable to defeat him.

After making a comment, the Tongtian Cult Leader suddenly woke up:

"Oh, right! My primordial spirit is still residing with the Heavenly Dao!"

"Once the Heavenly Dao is completely corrupted by Hongjun's demonic energy, then this sect leader will also be corrupted by the demonic energy and fall into demonic ways along with him!"

"No way! I, the dignified descendant of Pangu, cannot be dragged into demonic possession by that old man Hongjun and disgrace Father God Pangu!"

"This sect leader must quickly abandon this bullshit Heavenly Saint and, like the ancient Father God Pangu, prove the Dao through the laws!"
