"Your Excellency, there are extraterrestrial demons causing trouble in the mortal realm, and Yuanshi is facing difficulties and needs assistance..."
"I have granted you permission to descend to the mortal realm. You must descend immediately to support Yuanshi!"
The voice of Hongjun Laozu echoed in the Eight Views Palace.
Upon hearing this, Laozi's expression remained calm and composed.
Just as he had predicted, the instructions from Hongjun Laozu arrived.
However, although he knew all along that he couldn't avoid the support from the lower realm.
However, Laozi did not directly descend to the mortal realm to provide assistance. Instead, he first spoke to Hongjun Laozu, saying:
“Master Hongjun, Yuanshi and I are brothers, so it is only natural that I should descend to the mortal realm to support him…”
"However, these extraterrestrial demons are far too powerful. Even though Yuan Shi and I are of similar strength, I was completely overwhelmed by them!"
"Even if I go down to the mortal realm to provide support, I'm afraid we still won't be a match for them!"
"In my opinion, only if Master Hongjun personally intervenes can these extraterrestrial demons be better dealt with, and the primordial world be restored to peace and order!"
...
Although Lao Tzu's words were loaded with hidden meaning, they were not nonsense, but rather statements of fact.
He is indeed on the same level as Yuanshi Tianzun.
Since Yuanshi Tianzun was completely outmatched by Jin Ning, adding him wouldn't seem to significantly change the situation.
Moreover, Jin Ning is not without help.
It's obvious to everyone that there are still a few over there who haven't made a move yet.
Among them, Yin Zicheng is clearly the leader.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that adding another Lao Tzu wouldn't solve the problem at all!
...
However, although what Laozi said was true, Hongjun Laozu was unwilling to listen!
Upon hearing Lao Tzu's words, his brows furrowed immediately, and he thought to himself:
"That Supreme One is indeed making excuses and deliberately trying to avoid descending to the mortal realm!"
Hongjun Laozu was very displeased with Laozi's behavior.
In the past, he would have certainly reprimanded Laozi severely and punished him.
However, right now, Hongjun Patriarch is in need of manpower, so even if he is angry, he cannot vent it directly.
So, Hongjun Laozu patiently said to Taishang Laozi:
“Your Majesty, I would naturally very much like to take action myself, but since I merged with the Dao, I represent the Heavenly Dao and cannot act arbitrarily…”
"If it weren't for that, during the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, if I had intervened earlier, the primordial world wouldn't have been shattered..."
"At this moment, it is not convenient for your master to take action. The situation on the side of Yuanshi, Jieyin, and Zhunti is urgent, so I can only ask you to take action first."
"However, you don't need to worry about being under pressure alone. Considering the power of those extraterrestrial demons, your master has sent Nuwa down to the mortal realm with you."
...
Upon hearing these words from Hongjun Laozu, Taishang Laozi felt utterly contemptuous.
It would have been better if Hongjun Laozu hadn't mentioned the Investiture of the Gods calamity.
Upon hearing Hongjun Laozu mention the Investiture of the Gods, Taishang Laozi couldn't help but feel angry.
He's not stupid; he knows that during the Investiture of the Gods, the Grandmaster Hongjun didn't make a move until the very end because he had something in mind.
Hmph, it's clearly just to make them unleash their true power and destroy the primordial world, so that I can easily control the Heavenly Dao and seize the Dao Fruit left behind by Father God Pangu.
Hongjun Laozu even had the audacity to claim that he was powerless to control his own destiny. Bah! How shameless!
Laozi cursed Hongjun Laozu in his heart.
However, he understood that he had not yet reached the point of completely turning against Hongjun Laozu.
Therefore, seeing that Hongjun Laozu had already said so much, and that further discussion might lead to a falling out, Taishang Laozi nodded and said that he would immediately descend to the mortal realm to provide assistance.
...
When Hongjun Laozu called for Taishang Laozi to descend to the mortal realm, he also called for Nuwa Niangniang.
Nuwa Palace.
The goddess Nuwa was watching with great astonishment the immense power that Jin Ning was displaying.
She was filled with emotion at the sight of this person who looked exactly like her trusted maid.
Jin Ning's power was a wake-up call for Nuwa, giving her the drive she had before becoming a saint, after a long period of rest.
She was pondering how to cultivate herself to better catch up with Honghuang Jin Ning.
The voice transmission from Hongjun Laozu has arrived.
Upon hearing this, the goddess Nuwa was taken aback:
"What? Hongjun sent someone to support Yuanshi and deal with that being who looks like Jin Ning?"
"Why...why doesn't he go himself?"
...
Nuwa was very unhappy about the matter that Hongjun Laozu had instructed her to do.
First of all, she felt disgusted by Yuanshi Tianzun, who always acted as if Hongjun was the boss and she was second only to him, and who didn't take her seriously at all.
Nuwa knew that Yuanshi Tianzun looked down on her.
Why should she go and save someone who's so annoying and looks down on her?
The goddess Nuwa was very unhappy!
Secondly, the Goddess Nuwa had a very good impression of the primordial Jin Ning, who resembled her and had awakened her own drive for cultivation.
At the same time, she also had a very good impression of Yin Zicheng, who helped Sun Wukong awaken.
Nuwa did not want to be their enemy.
Furthermore, Nuwa clearly understood that she was no match for Jin Ning, Yin Zicheng, and the others!
If she descends to the mortal realm, wouldn't she lose face like Yuanshi Tianzun?
She would never do something so shameful!
