Started with maxed-out merit, everyone in the primordial world is my connection

“The Human Race involves significant matters and unimaginable karmic entanglements. The slightest carelessness could lead to eternal damnation. Hongjun, do not involve my brother Qin Ye in this.”

Nuwa remained silent, offering no response, merely gazing calmly at Hongjun as she spoke.

Although there was no explicit threat, Nuwa's tone and the look in her eyes conveyed an implicit menace.

“...Are you insane? You've placed your anchor point on Qin Ye?”

Hongjun's face turned ashen. Even he felt a sense of madness and disbelief, as if it exceeded his expectations and left him utterly bewildered.

Calculating and scheming as he was, he felt a sense of losing control of the situation.

Nuwa had placed her anchor point on Qin Ye!?

Qin Ye was Nuwa's anchor point!?

What a joke!

This was utterly absurd and inconceivable!

Hongjun desperately wanted to believe he was mistaken. However, Nuwa's demeanor left him with no choice but to accept that he was right.

Without an anchor point, he couldn't fathom why Nuwa would call him 'brother,' let alone why she would go to such lengths to confront him on Qin Ye's behalf. There was simply no other possibility.

“Wait! No! What exactly did Qin Ye give you before!?”

While speaking, Hongjun's eyes narrowed as something occurred to him, and he suddenly recalled a detail he had previously overlooked.

Qin Ye had mentioned giving Nuwa a gift that could enhance her strength.

Originally, Hongjun hadn't taken it seriously.

At the time, Qin Ye was merely a Great Luo Golden Immortal who had arrived in the Primordial World not long ago. Enhance Nuwa's strength?

That was utterly preposterous.

It was obvious that even if it did enhance her strength, it wouldn't be by much.

Although Qin Ye's repeated displays had refreshed Hongjun's perception, this matter had been cast aside and completely forgotten.

Thinking about it now, with this boy's abilities, enhancing strength...just how much of an enhancement was it?

“Since you dare to question this Daoist, Nuwa, what is your current cultivation level!?”

Hongjun scrutinized Nuwa, noting the absence of any aura emanating from her. Even the connection of the Heavenly Dao couldn't reveal the slightest hint of her cultivation. Hongjun asked curiously.

Of course, curiosity aside, Hongjun knew that Nuwa wouldn't answer. He chuckled and shook his head, saying, “Alright, no need to be so tense. Relax. Please, sit down. This Daoist will give you an explanation.”

Nuwa didn't reply, simply watching Hongjun silently.

“You value Qin Ye, and this Daoist also values Qin Ye.”

“Although not to the extent of placing your anchor point on him, Qin Ye is crucial to this Daoist's entire game. Anyone else can die, but Qin Ye must live.”

“Therefore, the method this Daoist gave him includes a way to revive. There's no need for this Daoist to deceive you about this. This Daoist never lies.”

Hongjun said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Nuwa's expression softened slightly, and she sat down.

“Have some tea. Since you're here, this Daoist will give you some answers. Let's take our time and talk.”

As if his words were law, a low table and steaming tea appeared before Nuwa as Hongjun finished speaking.

“Then I'll trouble you, Teacher, to provide this palace with a reasonable explanation.”

Nuwa said coolly.

“Although the Human Race involves significant matters, time is running out.”

Hongjun sighed.

Hongjun offered a smile that wasn't quite a smile, merely glancing calmly behind Nuwa.

Boom!!!

As if an unspeakable power bloomed, in an instant, amid formless sounds, a black portal appeared behind Nuwa.

It seemed to emanate a profound and terrifying murmur. In a mere moment, countless layers of portals overlapped and extended, instantly causing the entire main hall of Zixiao Palace to exude an eerie and terrifying aura.

“I know what you're doing.”

“You can barely protect yourself. How can you possibly protect Qin Ye?”

Hongjun said with amusement.

“This palace may be barely able to protect myself, but Qin Ye, this palace can protect.”

Nuwa stated calmly, as if stating a fact.

As Nuwa's voice fell, the portal behind her and the boundless mysteries and illusory scenes extending into the void were completely shattered.

“What method did Qin Ye give you…?”

“Your cultivation…”

Hongjun's pupils constricted, his expression momentarily stunned, as if lost in thought. Even he was somewhat discomposed and astonished, finding it hard to believe.

In an instant, Hongjun regained his composure, merely giving Nuwa a deep look, resolving to ask Qin Ye about it later.

Damn it, he was the one who provided the angel investment!

He was the initial investor!

He provided strategies for Nuwa to enhance her strength, and strategies for Yuqing and Shangqing to enhance their cultivation. What about him?

He also wants it!!!

Originally, Hongjun hadn't cared and didn't think Qin Ye had a way to enhance his strength. But now, Hongjun had changed his mind.

Given Nuwa's situation, Qin Ye might actually be able to help him enhance his strength!

“This boy is truly terrifying!”

This thought flashed through Hongjun's mind, instantly causing him to value Qin Ye even more.

Nuwa's arrival was wonderful, Nuwa's arrival was brilliant. If Nuwa hadn't come, he wouldn't have known how long he would have been kept in the dark.

“If you're willing, is Qin Ye willing?”

“Does he want to be a pawn or a player?”

“Although the Human Race involves some issues, it's also his opportunity.”

“And this Daoist is giving him a chance to be a player.”

“This is the choice this Daoist is giving him, and it's the decision he made himself.”

“Some things cannot be said, but only by doing them can one know. And the Human Race is the best opportunity for him to understand the overall situation.”

Numerous thoughts flashed through his mind, and Hongjun said leisurely.

“That's because he doesn't know what the Human Race represents.”

Nuwa said calmly.

“Does he really not know?”

“As your brother—since you call him 'brother'—would you really not understand him?”

“With his wisdom, can he really not guess anything?”

Hongjun spoke unhurriedly.

Based on the cultivation methods alone, Hongjun didn't believe Qin Ye would be clueless.

Not to mention, he understood Qin Ye's ambition better than anyone.

“......”

Nuwa's serene face seemed to slightly falter, rendered speechless.

“Emotions, ah, are truly wondrous sometimes, capable of making even you so concerned that you lose your composure? Heh, how amusing.”

Hongjun clicked his tongue in amazement.

“Then why did Teacher give Qin Ye Gege a backup plan, fearing Qin Ye Gege's fall?”

Nuwa retorted.

What she resented was Hongjun wanting to draw Qin Ye Gege into the game, not being unaware of how high Hongjun's expectations were for Qin Ye Gege.

Concerned to the point of losing composure?

Don't you feel the same?

Otherwise, why would you be dangling carrots, dropping hints, piquing curiosity, and providing backup plans?

“......”

This time, it was Hongjun's turn to be silent, his face turning stern.

“If he enters the game, he will face eternal damnation.”

Nuwa's voice became somewhat low.

“Even if he doesn't enter the game, he is already facing eternal damnation.”

“In the Primordial World, no one can avoid it.”

“We have waited long enough for his appearance, and only he is the sole variable and opportunity.”

Hongjun said calmly.

“Why?”

Nuwa's beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly.

She trusted Qin Ye Gege's abilities and believed in him, but what did that have to do with variables and opportunities?

“I see Pangu's shadow in him.”

Hongjun slowly said.

“That's impossible.”

Nuwa's beautiful eyes narrowed.

Hongjun didn't explain, merely moved his thoughts.

In an instant, behind Hongjun, a phantom gateway appeared, accompanied by wisps of black mist and an eerie aura. Immediately, whispers and roars erupted.

“It's him! It's him! It's him!”

“He's back! He's back!”

“Sinner! He is the sinner!”

“Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!”

“Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!!!”

“The end began because of him, why doesn't he die! Why doesn't he die!!!”

“All must die! All must die!!!”

Voices filled with madness, violence, and chaos echoed within the Zixiao Palace. A thick sense of ominousness permeated the void. If anyone were present, even a Grand Luo would instantly become possessed, and even ordinary Quasi-Saints would find it difficult to resist.

“Haven't you noticed that since Qin Ye appeared, the Gate of Taboo has undergone some changes?”

Hongjun slowly said.

“......”

Nuwa was silent.

Ever since Qin Ye appeared, where did she have the time to care about such things?

“When the Great Calamity of Creation began, the Gate of Taboo was already opened.”

“This is the evil consequence planted by Pangu, and he has already suffered the consequences himself.”

“Some things, at the time, because Qin Ye was present and his cultivation was too low, he was not suitable to know. But I don't believe you wouldn't have some idea.”

“Qin Ye's appearance triggered the Gate of Taboo's rampage, which already explains the result and indicates that the key lies with him.”

“In this game, who is black? Who is white? It's simply whoever shows their head is in danger.”

“And Qin Ye, from the moment he appeared in the Primordial World, he has attracted too much attention. He himself has actively attracted too much attention.”

“Whether it's the Gate of Taboo or the changes within our Primordial Continent, he cannot escape.”

“If he enters the game, he may have a chance to escape. If he doesn't enter the game, he can only leave the Primordial World.”

“But even if you want to send him out, even if you can find other coordinates, the Gate of Taboo will not let him leave.”

“If you want to protect him, you are only harming him.”

Hongjun said coldly.

As he spoke, Hongjun pointed his finger, and scenes of the Primordial Great Powers and experts in various dojos throughout the Primordial World when Qin Ye appeared were projected.

Seeing the faint appearance of portals behind many Great Powers and experts, or only portals, or changes appearing on their bodies, Nuwa's expression turned slightly solemn.

And when she saw Dijun in the picture, Nuwa's face revealed a look of astonishment.

“Dijun......?”

“As the protagonist of the Calamity, how could Dijun also be among them?”

Nuwa asked.

“Because Dijun wants to jump out of the game.”

“And when Dijun touched the taboo, the Heavenly Dao had already stood behind him.”

Hongjun said calmly.

“The entire Primordial World has been under your surveillance. Could those people have imagined that everything is under your control......”

Nuwa deeply looked at Hongjun and said, “Teacher, who are you, and what exactly do you want to do?”

“Who am I?”

“I am Hongjun.”

“And as Hongjun, I should reshape the Primordial World. Qin Ye is the one I have chosen to respond to the calamity.”

Hongjun lowered his eyelids, then raised them again, his voice calm and solemn, echoing constantly within the main hall of the Zixiao Palace.

I am...... Hongjun!!!
