Chapter 928 A hypocrite, such is the way of Heaven!
Houtu's absolutely certain question, as resounding as a thunderclap, echoed throughout heaven and earth.
For a moment, the panic and fear of billions of living beings were temporarily suppressed by these words.
Countless creatures looked up and saw Houtu's peerless beauty and unparalleled power.
But Houtu's words plunged all living beings into a brief state of daze and confusion.
Hongjun?!
Is the Hongjun mentioned by the Sage Houtu the same one they know as... the Dao Ancestor Hongjun?
Not bad!
At this moment, even the masses have begun to have such doubts!
how can that be!
It's no wonder that people would have such absurd ideas.
After all, according to Houtu, the root of this terrifying catastrophe, comparable to the end of the world, is the work of Hongjun Daozu.
Did he unleash this apocalyptic catastrophe?
The minds of countless beings went blank, their thoughts almost coming to a standstill.
why?
The Dao Ancestor is the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao and the supreme maintainer of the primordial order. Why would he take such a world-destroying action? This is completely illogical!
For a moment, more absurd and mind-blowing astonishment than the fear of death enveloped everyone's hearts.
However, before they could recover from their utter bewilderment and confusion...
Suddenly, the gray, decaying sky above... changed!
Endless celestial blossoms, miraculously descended from nothingness, each one containing the supreme principles of the Heavenly Dao.
Countless auspicious rays of light burst forth from the cracks in the sky, illuminating the entire gray world with a radiant glow like the sun!
That familiar pressure, which overwhelms all ages, transcends the world, and even surpasses all things in heaven and earth, erupted once again, stirring up the heavens and the earth in the blink of an eye, sweeping across every corner of the world.
In an instant, time seemed to stand still, and space seemed to freeze!
suppress!
An absolute sense of suppression!
Under this oppressive force, all living beings felt that the magical power and spiritual energy within their bodies had stopped circulating!
Even innate deities like Zhen Yuanzi and Kunpeng were deeply shocked and unable to calm down!
At that moment, everyone felt a slight unease in their hearts.
There's no other reason than this!
This oppressive aura, in the perception of all living beings, belonged to the lofty and supreme Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
really!
Followed by.
A figure slowly materialized in the void amidst the endless celestial splendor and auspicious light.
He wore a black Taoist robe, his face was simple and unadorned, without any joy or sorrow. There was no fluctuation of magical power around him, yet he seemed to be one with the entire world and the supreme Heavenly Dao.
He simply stood there quietly, and became the sole entity of heaven and earth, the end of all paths!
If it's not Hongjun, then who is it?!
"Dao... Dao Ancestor..."
"It really is Dao Ancestor Hongjun!"
The moment they saw that figure clearly, the sense of absurdity that had just arisen in the lives of all living beings in the primordial world was instantly shattered! In its place was endless coldness and trembling!
He really showed up!
After being questioned by the Goddess Houtu, he did not refute or cover up, but appeared openly and honestly in front of everyone!
Hongjun stood high above, his eyes, so indifferent to the extreme, looking down upon all living beings as if he were looking at a group of dust that had nothing to do with him.
Finally, his gaze fell upon the stunningly beautiful figure above Jin'ao Island, burning with endless fury.
He gazed at Houtu and finally spoke.
His words, like the will of Heaven, are devoid of emotion and desire, yet contain an absolute will that cannot be questioned.
"This world... has deviated from its original course."
"I will certainly set things right."
The two short sentences offered no explanation and no reassurance whatsoever.
Yes, it's just a statement.
State a fact, make a decision!
boom!!!
Upon hearing this, it was as if billions of volcanoes were erupting simultaneously in the minds of all the primordial beings in the world who still retained their rationality!
It's really him!
Hongjun... just admitted it so openly!
Or, as Houtu said before, all this great terror today was truly instigated by Hongjun.
Such a response was clearly beyond everyone's expectations.
More importantly, according to Hongjun, all of this was simply because the world had deviated from its "original course"?
In other words, the development of heaven and earth failed to follow the will of Hongjun and the Way of Heaven.
So, everything, everything, must be thoroughly investigated... no... completely wiped out?!
How absurd is this reason?!
How cruel and heartless is this to the common people!
"Haha...hahahaha!"
Before the masses could recover from this cruel reality, a cold laugh, filled with endless anger and sorrow, resounded through the sky.
Houtu's earthly pressure surged wildly, clashing fiercely with Hongjun's heavenly divine might, and she was not at all at a disadvantage!
She glared at Hongjun, each word seeming to be squeezed out from between her teeth.
"What a grand and righteous phrase, 'correcting past mistakes'."
"Hongjun, why bother with this pretense?"
"You have gone to great lengths and used such ruthless methods, even causing the cause and effect of the world to fluctuate. Is this truly for the sake of the so-called righteous order of the world?"
Houtu's phoenix eyes held a penetrating sharpness that seemed to see right through people, and her expression was full of disdain and contempt.
"Hmph! Drop your hypocritical act!"
"Everything we do today is merely to maintain the supreme and all-powerful position of the Heavenly Dao, which controls all living beings."
"For your own selfish desires, the price is the destruction of the primordial world and the annihilation of all living beings."
"What a hypocrite!"
Houtu's voice transformed into the sharpest sword, tearing apart Hongjun's hypocritical cloak of "doing what's best for heaven and earth," revealing his cold and cruel core to all living beings in a bloody manner!
In order to maintain the status of the Heavenly Way!
This is the truth!
The primordial beings were once again shaken to their core.
They stared blankly at the sky, at the two supreme beings confronting each other, feeling as if their worldview had been repeatedly crushed, reshaped, and crushed again in this single day!
It turns out that in the eyes of the Dao Ancestor, the combined lives of all of them were not as high as the supreme status of the "Heavenly Dao"!
Faced with Houtu's extremely scathing rebuke, Hongjun's eternally unchanging face remained completely devoid of emotion.
He was silent for a moment.
It seemed as if it was thinking, or perhaps it was simply waiting for Houtu to finish speaking.
Then, his indifferent gaze slowly shifted from Houtu, sweeping once more over the endless wailing, despair, and deathly silence of the primordial land below.
Finally, he uttered four words.
Those four words, devoid of any power, were heavier and more despairing than any supernatural ability or magical treasure.
"That is the way of Heaven."
The words fell.
The entire primordial wilderness was deathly silent.
At this moment, all living beings, whether human, demon, witch, or monster, ceased to think.
Such is the way of Heaven.
What... does this mean?
This is... an admission?!
The Dao Ancestor, with just these four simple words, acknowledged everything that Houtu Niangniang had said?!
