Chapter 693: Child of Calamity

Hmm?

Huang Zuntian is in trouble?

Han Jue immediately looked up; Huang Zuntian was no longer Outside the Thirty-Third Heaven.

He looked around the Immortal Realm, his gaze quickly falling upon Primal Chaos's coffin.

Huang Zuntian's aura disappeared near the coffin!

Could it be that Primal Chaos was the one who attacked Huang Zuntian?

Han Jue frowned. He knew that Primal Chaos couldn't transform into a Primordial Chaos Demon God. Could this fellow have used Possession on Huang Zuntian and infiltrated the Heavenly Dao to evade disaster?

Very likely!

Han Jue immediately sent a Dream Message to Huang Zuntian.

Huang Zuntian and Primal Chaos had already undergone Fusion. Han Jue needed to figure out if Huang Zuntian was still controlling himself.

Was it one body with two souls, a Fusion of two souls, or did one soul dominate the will?

Within the dream.

Huang Zuntian opened his eyes. When he saw Han Jue, he immediately became excited.

“Master!”

Huang Zuntian immediately knelt down.

Hearing those two words, Han Jue felt slightly relieved, but then grew nervous again.

If Primal Chaos used Possession on Huang Zuntian, he might actually be able to read his memories.

Han Jue asked, “Are you still you?”

Huang Zuntian was stunned for a moment, then showed reverence, saying, “You already calculated it? That’s right, I underwent Fusion with a Great Power, but it was only a Physical Body Fusion. I will gain his Physical Body Aptitude, and my soul will shield him, allowing him to evade his enemies.”

Han Jue examined Huang Zuntian and asked, “You trust him?”

Huang Zuntian said, “He shared his memories with me.”

“In other words, you shared your memories with him too?”

Han Jue's Face turned cold, frightening Huang Zuntian, who quickly explained, “I had already erased the past concerning you and me. Simply seeing you makes me remember these actions of mine. You are my Master; this is already my instinct, like the instinct to live, unrelated to memory.”

“So that Great Power does not know.”

Han Jue's expression eased slightly, but he still didn't quite believe it.

Such an operation is possible?

That's too Xuanhuan!

Huang Zuntian continued, “Once our Fusion is completely successful, I will return to the Heavenly Dao. He will hide deep within my Soul and help me Cultivate. This is his requirement.”

Han Jue asked, “Then how can you be sure he won't absolutely retaliate against you? If it were you, would you be willing to live like this?”

Huang Zuntian fell silent.

He was frightened.

Han Jue said, “If you're worried, you can come and find me.”

With that, he waved his sleeve and dissolved the dream.

Han Jue opened his eyes and asked in his heart, “Is what Huang Zuntian said true?”

[Requires consumption of 3 billion years of lifespan. Continue?]

Continue!

[True]

Han Jue breathed a sigh of relief and simultaneously looked at Huang Zuntian with new respect.

No wonder this fellow was so strong at seizing power and usurping the throne; he actually possessed such an Innate Skill.

Han Jue could also erase his own memories, but for him to passively recall their relationship simply by seeing the person whose identity was forgotten—that was ridiculous.

But since Huang Zuntian was fine, Han Jue decided to ignore it.

If this fellow came to Han Jue, he would certainly help him. If he didn't, then it would depend on Huang Zuntian's own Good Fortune.

Everyone has their own destiny.

Han Jue still held expectations for Huang Zuntian. This fellow always managed to survive, and he survived well.

During the last Calamity, countless Prodigies had Aptitude far surpassing Huang Zuntian, yet Huang Zuntian was the one who fared the best, bar none!

Even Li Daokong and Fang Liang didn't fare as well as Huang Zuntian.

Han Jue looked toward Xing Hongxuan.

Their youngest son was still being conceived.

Given this situation, even if his mother attained Quasi-Saint status, he might not be born yet.

Han Jue thought for a moment, then went to Xing Hongxuan's side, feigning concern while actually performing Absolute Purification.

Xing Hongxuan was also worrying: how much longer would it take for this child to be born?

Fortunately, she had Han Jue's comfort.

She suddenly felt that Han Jue was truly good. He seemed indifferent, but when facing his own flesh and blood, he would display his true emotions.

Han Jue only left after Absolute Purification was finished.

Xing Hongxuan felt immense sweetness in her heart and continued to Cultivate.

Han Jue returned to his Daoist Temple and immersed himself in cultivation.

May he attain the Great Dao soon!

…Five thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

Just as Han Jue was about to finish his cultivation, the voice of Venerable Xuandu transmitted: “Fellow Daoist Han, come to Qiankun Hall for a chat.”

Another chat?

Han Jue originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, since Venerable Xuandu notified him precisely on time, he should give him some Face.

If Venerable Xuandu hadn't been in charge of the Heavenly Dao's overall trend, how could the Heavenly Dao have developed so smoothly?

Han Jue first scanned Outside the Thirty-Third Heaven. All the Saints were present, and there were no unfamiliar Powerful Beings.

Huang Zuntian had also returned. His cultivation had increased significantly; it seemed Primal Chaos had given him great assistance.

In these years, Huang Zuntian hadn't come to find Han Jue, presumably intending to Face the situation himself.

Han Jue teleported into Qiankun Hall, and the other Saints arrived one after another.

It was likely that Venerable Xuandu had notified Han Jue first.

Before long, the Saints were all gathered.

Huang Zuntian didn't look at Han Jue, acting as if the two were strangers.

All the Saints stared at Venerable Xuandu, and Pan Xin was no exception.

Currently, the person in charge of the Saint circle was Venerable Xuandu. When Pan Xin returned, he wanted to contend for power, but later realized how far behind he was. He would ask Venerable Xuandu's opinion on many matters, and unconsciously, he started following Venerable Xuandu's lead.

Venerable Xuandu spoke, “It has been over 200,000 years since the Heavenly Dao rebooted. We should plan ahead for the next Immeasurable Calamity.”

Immeasurable Calamity!

Han Jue frowned. He originally thought that after the Heavenly Dao began to expand, the Immeasurable Calamity would be postponed or even canceled.

The reason the Immeasurable Calamity exists is that the Heavenly Dao cannot sustain too many Living Beings. When Resources become scarce, the conflicts among All Beings accumulate. Saints then push this forward, using the opportunity of the Calamity to eliminate most Living Beings, allowing the Heavenly Dao to restart.

Such an Immeasurable Calamity is actually meaningless. If the Chaos only contained the Heavenly Dao, it would be fine, but there are also the Guixu Divine Realm, Ancient Desolation, and other lesser heavenly daos, which almost led to the Yan Clan and the E Clan overturning the entire Heavenly Dao.

South Pole Heavenly Venerate was the first to ask, “Is it necessary? A normal Immeasurable Calamity requires hundreds of millions of years of accumulation. Moreover, the Heavenly Dao is developing well now; perhaps there won't be an Immeasurable Calamity in the future.”

Pan Xin nodded and said, “Instead of considering the Immeasurable Calamity, we should think about the Great Dao Calamity, which sweeps across the entire Chaos.”

The other Saints seconded the motion one after another.

Venerable Xuandu spoke, “The Heavenly Dao is different from the past, and the Great Dao Calamity will naturally also be different from the past. It will no longer be about reducing the number of Living Beings, but about promoting the birth of more Prodigies and Great Luck Holders. Furthermore, peace for too long is not a good thing; it easily leads to slackness and accumulated psychological pressure.”

“The time of peace is only superficial peace. Disciples of the various Fortune Sects can still use other methods to oppress All Beings.”

The Saints nodded. They had actually noticed this situation, but they had no way to resolve it. If the Fortune Sects weren't superior, how could they attract more Living Beings to join?

Absolute fairness and peace do not exist.

Venerable Xuandu continued, “Next, we must choose the Faction where the Child of Calamity will be born. Taking him as the protagonist, we will initiate a glorious age where Prodigies emerge one after another. At that time, Saints must not interfere, creating an environment where Prodigies compete.”
