Inside the Purple Cloud Palace.
Hongjun, the Ancestor, was in a very bad state after being injured by the Tongtian Sect Leader's killing of the Heavenly Dao incarnation, the Houtu Goddess's ascension to sainthood, and the conflict between the Earthly Dao and the Heavenly Dao's shackles.
Originally, it was using the power of the Heavenly Dao to restore itself.
When the Great Shang Dynasty unified the entire human world, all the countless beings in the primordial world came under its jurisdiction. For the first time, the human beings, who were once like scattered sand, were united as one, making the power of humanity stronger and more prosperous than ever before.
Furthermore, after unifying the human world, Di Xin planned to launch a war against Heaven.
The Heavenly Dao sensed the crisis and immediately issued a warning to Ancestor Hongjun.
Upon receiving the warning, the Grandmaster Hongjun awoke from his cultivation:
"What?! Yin Zicheng's Shang Dynasty has unified the entire human world? And, it's even going to attack the heavens?!"
"How long have I been cultivating, and such a tremendous change has already occurred in the primordial world???"
...
When Hongjun Laozu opened his eyes, his face was full of shock.
He knew that the Shang Dynasty, supported by Yin Zicheng, was very powerful.
Even if it is incredibly powerful, it shouldn't be able to unify the entire human world in such a short period of time, right?
After all, the primordial world is extremely vast!
Just to take a stroll around the prehistoric world would take a very long time, let alone conquer such a vast prehistoric land!
How did the Great Shang Dynasty manage to do something so incredible?
and!
Having already conquered the vast human realm, the Shang Dynasty was still not satisfied and wanted to attack the heavens and take over the Heavenly Court.
Aren't they far too greedy and arrogant?
Don't they know that behind the Heavenly Court are themselves and the Heavenly Dao?!
...
Hongjun, the Ancestor, was both shocked and angry.
What astonished him was how the Shang Dynasty had conquered the vast and desolate human world in such a short period of time!
What angered him was that the Shang Dynasty, knowing full well that the Heavenly Court was backed by him and the Heavenly Dao, still arrogantly launched a war against Heaven!
"This is absolutely infuriating!"
"Did Di Xin really think that after unifying the human world, he could ignore his true self and the Heavenly Dao?"
"He has seriously underestimated the will of Heaven!"
Hongjun Laozu knew that after Di Xin unified the human world, humanity became increasingly powerful, and as the representative of humanity, Di Xin's power should no longer be inferior to his own.
In a normal confrontation, even if he were to take action in his true form, he might not be able to defeat Di Xin.
But he is the spokesperson for the Way of Heaven!
The so-called supreme Heavenly Dao, as the spokesperson of Heavenly Dao, once he can remove the restrictions imposed on him by Heavenly Dao, he will be able to greatly utilize the power of Heavenly Dao.
He was practically invincible in the primordial world!
Di Xin's attack on Heaven was tantamount to a provocation against the Heavenly Dao, which would give Hongjun Ancestor the opportunity to greatly utilize the power of the Heavenly Dao!
...
Hongjun Laozu was very angry, and the consequences were severe.
The furious Hongjun Ancestor vented his anger while imagining himself defeating Di Xin and winning victory by using the power of the Heavenly Dao.
At that very moment.
The Jade Emperor contacted Hongjun Laozu through a secret technique:
"Dao Ancestor, I beg you to do justice for your disciple!"
"Emperor Xin, relying on the support of the Great Shang Ancestor Yin Zicheng, has become extremely arrogant, completely disregarding the Heavenly Court and you!"
"He not only occupied a large area of the primordial land that should have been under the jurisdiction of his disciples, but also audaciously led a so-called Heaven-slaying army, intending to rebel against the Heavenly Court and seize control of it!"
"Because Di Xin has mastered the power of humanity and gathered too many powerful beings from the primordial world, my Heavenly Court may not be able to withstand him. I have no choice but to ask the Dao Ancestor for help!"
"We beg the Dao Ancestor to intervene and protect the Heavenly Court!"
...
In fact, after witnessing Hongjun Laozu's repeated failures, the Jade Emperor's awe and worship of Hongjun Laozu had diminished considerably.
He no longer considered Hongjun Laozu to be an invincible being, and in his heart, the name he used for Hongjun Laozu had become the cold and indifferent "Hongjun".
However, the Jade Emperor was well aware that in the face of the great crisis of Emperor Xin's attack on Heaven and the Heavenly Court, the only person he could rely on was Hongjun.
Therefore, even though in his heart the Jade Emperor no longer held Hongjun Laozu in the same esteem.
On the surface, he still maintained the same respectful demeanor towards Hongjun Laozu.
A person as shrewd as the Jade Emperor would not make such a small mistake.
...
The Jade Emperor's plea for help was transmitted through a secret technique.
Hongjun, who was venting his anger in Zixiao Palace, calmed himself down.
Immediately afterwards, Hongjun, whose acting skills far surpassed those of the Jade Emperor, calmly responded to the Jade Emperor with an air of complete composure and absolute control:
"Haotian, you are the Heavenly Emperor who governs the primordial world on behalf of Heaven. What kind of behavior is this, with such a panic?"
"I am aware of the arrogance of Emperor Xin and the Shang Dynasty. You don't need to worry too much about it. They are only courting their own destruction!"
"Di Xin arrogantly thought that since he had unified the human world and could control its power, he could look down on everything and not take the Heavenly Court seriously. He was extremely foolish!"
"Haotian, put your mind at ease, focus on stabilizing the Heavenly Court, and absolutely do not lose your composure!"
"Immediately, I will resurrect Taishang, Yuanshi, Jieyin, and Zhunti, and have them support you in defeating Di Xin's so-called army to attack Heaven!"
...
The words of the Hongjun Ancestor sounded as if he had complete confidence in victory.
It was as if the Shang dynasty's army, led by Emperor Xin, was a joke that could be easily defeated.
The Lingxiao Palace.
Seeing Hongjun's confident demeanor, the Jade Emperor's previously anxious heart was immediately calmed down.
but.
Regarding what Hongjun Laozu said about resurrecting Taishang Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, Jieyin Daoren, and Zhunti Daoren to support him.
The Jade Emperor, however, had some doubts:
"Not long ago, Taishang, Yuanshi, Jieyin, and Zhunti died at the hands of Tongtian, Nuwa, and others. Even if Hongjun resurrects them, what difference will it make?"
'Though they are saints, with their strength, they have absolutely no chance of winning against the mighty Shang!'
'Could it be that Hongjun's overconfidence, his attitude of treating the Heaven-Slaying Army as insignificant, is due to senility?'
'Didn't he consider that by resurrecting the Supreme Lord and the Four Primordial Sages and sending them to stop the Shang Dynasty, he was essentially sending them to their deaths?'
...
The Jade Emperor couldn't quite understand what Hongjun Laozu was thinking.
To him, the so-called support from Hongjun Laozu seemed highly unreliable.
I thought about it.
The Jade Emperor hesitated for a moment, then spoke to Hongjun Laozu through a secret technique:
"Dao Ancestor, it's not that I don't trust the Supreme Sage, the Primordial Sage, the Guide Sage, and the Zhunti Sage, but they only recently perished at the hands of the Great Shang. Even if they were resurrected, it would be difficult to withstand the Great Shang's army that is attacking Heaven, wouldn't it?"
