Above the square of Haotian Palace, Cheng Hao and Hongjun were sitting cross-legged in the air.
"Fellow Daoist, please try this fruit. It tastes pretty good!"
In the middle of the two, there was a tray with a few palm-sized fruits on it.
The fruits were surrounded by a pale yellow light, and their shapes were somewhat similar to that of a newborn baby. They were the fruits of the Chaos Spiritual Root 'Ginseng Fruit Tree' that Cheng Hao had collected in the Chaos.
Hongjun did not stand on ceremony. He took a fruit from the tray and took a bite. Then, a hint of deliciousness appeared on his face, and he could not help but nod his head.
"This Ginseng Fruit really lives up to its reputation. Although its medicinal effect is almost useless to us, the taste alone makes me feel like I'm lost in it!"
"Since you like it, you can take a few more and reward them to your servant. It's pretty good!" Cheng Hao smiled politely.
"In that case, thank you very much, fellow Daoist!"
Hongjun finished the fruit in his hand comfortably, and then put the core in his hand into his sleeve. Only then did he sit up straight and look serious.
"Haotian, you should be able to sense it, right? The self-consciousness of the Heavenly Dao seems to be about to awaken! "
"Yes, I've sensed it. It should be within the next ten thousand years! In the future, there will be a self-consciousness of the Heavenly Dao above our heads. I'm afraid that our lives will not be so easy. "Cheng Hao frowned and said.
"Fellow Daoist, do you have any good ideas to stop the awakening of the Heavenly Dao?" Hongjun asked expectantly.
"I'm not Pangu. If the Heavenly Dao wants to awaken its consciousness, I can't stop it!"
"In that case, it's a little troublesome!" Hongjun sighed, "Fellow Daoist, you should know that I've taken shape in the first wisp of Xuanhuang Qi after the Untainted Land was created. I've also obtained the Divine Weapon of Creation. The karma between me and the Heavenly Dao is extremely close!"
"Originally, I planned to nurture the few Saints requested by the Heavenly Dao into Saints after educating the Primordial World. After that, I would experience a few calamities and gradually end the karma with the Heavenly Dao. However, the Heavenly Dao is about to give birth to its own consciousness. In the future, it will definitely not be willing to end its karma with me. I'm afraid that in the future, not only will the karma between me and it not decrease, it will even increase! "
Cheng Hao nodded with a faint smile. "That's very normal. In the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, you are a saber, and a very useful saber. If it has developed self-awareness, it naturally won't watch you, fellow Daoist, get out of its control. It will definitely try all kinds of ways to tie more and more karma between you and it until it can't be separated anymore!"
"Fellow Daoist, are you laughing at me?" Hongjun's expression was somewhat unsightly.
"No, I'm just stating a fact. Once the consciousness of the Heaven Dao awakens, it's basically impossible for you to sever karma and escape the restraints of the Heaven Dao!"
Hongjun seemed to be a little irritated. After taking a few deep breaths, he seemed to have made up his mind.
"Fellow Daoist, what I seek is nothing more than unfettered freedom. Fellow Daoist, you are staying in the Primordial World. What you seek should be the luck and merit of the Primordial World. There are not many conflicts of interest between you and me! "
"I naturally know this in my heart. Otherwise, I wouldn't be chatting with you here." Cheng Hao looked at Hongjun with interest. "I know that you must have a plan in your heart. Fellow Daoist, what do you want to say? As long as you can stop the birth of the Heavenly Dao's self-awareness, I'm still willing to support you!"
"If that's the case, I'll be straightforward!" Hongjun's expression was serious as he stared at Cheng Hao without blinking. "I plan to fuse with the Dao after the third sermon and become the consciousness of the Heavenly Dao before the self-awareness of the Heavenly Dao awakens!"
"Oh?" Cheng Hao's heart was calm, but he still revealed a look of surprise on his face. "Fellow Daoist, have you thought it through? After fusing with the Dao, it will be difficult for you to leave the Heavenly Dao!"
"No matter how difficult it is, it's better than the Heavenly Dao giving birth to its own consciousness and completely blocking my path of leaving!" Hongjun, who had always been calm and collected, showed a rare expression of righteousness. "Between the two of us, someone has to make some sacrifices for the living beings of the Primordial World! Fellow Daoist, you are free. There's no need to get involved in this mess. Leave the heavy responsibility of replacing the consciousness of the Heavenly Dao to me! "
"Fellow Daoist, you are righteous!"
Cheng Hao could not stop complaining about Hongjun's exaggerated acting skills, but he could not help but show admiration. "On behalf of all living beings in the Primordial World, I thank you for your contribution. Fellow Daoist, is there anything else that you need my help with?"
"I do need your help, Fellow Daoist!"
Hongjun did not stand on ceremony. He said directly, "After I fuse with the Dao, if I want to escape, I have to completely end the karma between me and the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, in the future, I hope that you can cooperate with me and help me gradually end the karma between me and the Heavenly Dao."
"Fellow Daoist, don't worry. I will not shirk from this matter!" Cheng Hao nodded solemnly.
"That's great!" Hongjun smiled and raised his hand. Two marks that emitted a gray halo appeared in his palm. Cheng Hao was very familiar with the aura of the marks. It was the aura of Pangu.
"This is the mark of Pangu's Primordial Spirit that I collected from the Taiji Diagram and the Pangu Banner. Together with the mark of Pangu in your Bell of Chaos, the three marks of Primordial Spirit should be enough for Houtu to cultivate a Primordial Spirit with some of Pangu's aura!"
Cheng Hao took the two marks of Primordial Spirit from Hongjun and smiled thoughtfully. "Fellow Daoist, you have a good opportunity. It seems that before Fellow Daoist Yangmei left the Primordial World, he left the Pangu Banner to you, didn't he?"
"If Yangmei wants to leave, he naturally has to completely end the karma between him and the Primordial World. The Heavenly Dao will naturally not allow him to take away the Pangu Banner!" Hongjun explained simply. When he looked at Cheng Hao, he pondered for a moment.
"Next, I hope that you can help me!"
"Fellow Daoist, just say it!" Cheng Hao said with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist, please guide Houtu so that she can become a Sage as soon as possible!"
Cheng Hao was slightly stunned. Then, he looked at Hongjun thoughtfully. "Fellow Daoist, you want to make all the Sages become Sages before you unify the Dao?"
"That's right. I want to end the karma between me and the Heavenly Dao before I unify the Dao, so that no other accidents will happen in the future!"
"Sure, I'll help you complete this matter. I won't affect your Dao Unification!" Cheng Hao nodded and promised.
.....
In Haotian Palace, after the matter was settled, Hongjun stood up and left.
After watching Hongjun leave, Cheng Hao revealed a cold smile.
This Hongjun Dao Ancestor's thoughts were really strange. His words were mixed with truth and lies. It was hard to tell what he was thinking about.
However, Cheng Hao couldn't be bothered to guess what Hongjun was thinking. He only wanted to know what his real purpose was for coming here!
What was it about unifying the Dao for the sake of the Primordial World? What was it about understanding karma so that the Gods could become Sages as soon as possible? Cheng Hao didn't believe a single word of it.
He only needed to know the real purpose of Hongjun's hidden message. He wanted to make Emperor Yu and the other two become Sages as soon as possible before he unifies the Dao!
It was obvious that before he unifies the Dao, this old man was prepared to make a move on those three so-called variables!
