Transmigrating to a chat group: After heeding advice, I became the ruler of the primordial world.

Inside the Zixiao Palace, the atmosphere was heavy and tense.

The saints of the Journey to the West world sat together, their brows furrowed, silent. Clearly, they were all pondering Lu Yun's proposal for cooperation.

Hongjun slowly spoke, breaking the silence: "Gentlemen, what are your thoughts on Lu Yun's proposal?"

The six sages of Journey to the West exchanged glances, and all saw a solemn look in each other's eyes.

Finally, Laozi, as the eldest disciple, spoke first, saying, "Master, the opponent's strength is clearly very different from what we described of those primordial saints; they are much stronger. If we were to fight them, we would likely suffer a great loss!"

Yuanshi nodded in agreement, saying, "I also believe that even with the addition of the sages of the primordial world, we might not have much of a chance of winning!"

Hongjun asked, "So, you support cooperating with him?"

"this……"

Laozi and Yuanshi dared not utter a sound for a moment.

Instead, Nuwa spoke up, saying, "I don't think cooperation is appropriate. After all, they are outsiders, and there's no guarantee they won't pose a threat to our world in the future."

The Daoist Zhunti raised a question: "But if we refuse to cooperate, will he resort to harsher measures?"

After pondering for a moment, the Guide said, "Since Lu Yun can swear an oath with the heart of the universe, his sincerity is evident. However, cooperation is no small matter, and we must consider it carefully."

Tongtian, who sat most casually among the saints, couldn't help but show a speechless expression upon hearing this, saying, "After all that talk, you've just been spouting nonsense!"

The other sages all turned pale, but they had to admit that what Tongtian said was indeed correct.

Yuanshi was somewhat displeased and said, "Tongtian, then tell me, what's your opinion?"

Tongtian simply lay down on his side, saying lazily, "Does my opinion matter?"

Yuan Shi's breath hitched.

He had to admit that Tongtian was right. Ever since Tongtian was defeated in the Investiture of the Gods and was confined to Zixiao Palace by the Dao Ancestor, no one else cared much about his thoughts and opinions.

As for how Tongtian was defeated in the past, Yuanshi naturally knew it all too well.

Seeing that everyone remained silent, Tongtian, too lazy to say anything more, simply turned around and addressed the area outside the hall: "So, you can discuss it yourselves! Just let me know the result!"

Seeing his attitude, the saints were somewhat dissatisfied, but none of them said anything.

Hongjun shook his head secretly when he saw this.

This is actually a major reason why he dares not start a war with Lu Yun's side: the people are not united!

In the past, he had to sow discord among these saints for certain purposes, but now that he wants to unite them again, it won't be so easy!

While Hongjun was secretly troubled in the Journey to the West world, he suddenly sensed that Hongjun and others from the prehistoric world had arrived outside his Zixiao Palace.

He knew why they had come, but after a moment's thought, he let them in.

When Hongjun and his companions from the primordial world entered Zixiao Palace, they were immediately confronted by Tongtian from the Journey to the West world, who emerged from the main hall.

At first, they thought he had come out to greet them, but Tongtian casually walked to the side, found an open space, and lay down, looking like he was going to sleep, without even saying a word to them.

Everyone felt a little embarrassed and displeased.

I always felt that Tongtian's attitude in this Journey to the West world was very bad.

Even Tongtian, from the primordial world, couldn't help but frown when he saw his other self like this.

He had long since noticed that Tongtian in the Journey to the West world seemed out of place with the other saints, but he didn't know why.

However, due to other urgent matters, and the fact that Hongjun from the Journey to the West world had already arrived at the entrance of the main hall, the saints of the Heavenly Dao faction in the Primordial World did not have time to pay attention to Tongtian from the Journey to the West.

Tongtian glanced at them out of the corner of his eye, then ignored them and closed his eyes.

……

In the Journey to the West world, Hongjun welcomed the saints of the Heavenly Dao faction from the prehistoric world into the main hall.

After the two sides were seated, the atmosphere became somewhat subtle and tense for a moment.

"Dao Ancestor, we have come here to discuss with you how to deal with Lu Yun." Hongjun of the Primordial World spoke first, his tone tinged with urgency.

Hongjun, from the Journey to the West world, nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the assembled saints with profound insight, and slowly said, "This humble Taoist is troubled by this matter. Lu Yun's proposed cooperation is very tempting, yet it is also difficult to decide."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable of the Primordial World couldn't help but interject, "Dao Ancestor, that Lu Yun is ambitious. If we truly cooperate with him, it would be tantamount to seeking help from a tiger. We should unite the power of both worlds to jointly fight against him; that is the right path."

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun of the Journey to the West world scoffed and said, "Unite two worlds? Don't forget, he already controls your world. What two worlds are there left to unite with?"

Upon hearing this, the saints of the primordial world turned ashen-faced, yet remained speechless. They knew in their hearts that although Tongtian's words were unpleasant, they were the truth.

Lao Tzu from the Journey to the West world pondered for a moment and said, "We really shouldn't act rashly. Since Lu Yun has proposed cooperation, he must have some ulterior motive. Let's hear his specific conditions first before making any plans."

Hongjun nodded in agreement: "Excellent. However, before that, I need to understand how much you all know about Lu Yun."

Previously, although the people of the prehistoric world had mentioned Lu Yun's situation, due to the short time available, they only briefly discussed some things, and the saints of the Journey to the West world did not have a deep understanding of Lu Yun.

Hongjun from the prehistoric world sighed and began to carefully recount Lu Yun's various plans and methods in the prehistoric world. As they listened, the saints from the Journey to the West world frowned and their expressions became increasingly solemn.

After Hongjun finished speaking, the Guide Daoist from the Journey to the West world said in a deep voice, "It seems that Lu Yun is indeed extraordinary. We must be cautious and not be careless."

Master Zhunti frowned and said, "But if we don't cooperate, what else can we do? Do we really have to become his enemy?"

Everyone couldn't help but look at Hongjun from the Journey to the West world once again.

The sages of the primordial world seemed to want to say more, but Hongjun of the Journey to the West world suddenly waved his hand and said, "I have a basic understanding of the matter, but I would like to observe further before deciding on a specific decision!"

Clearly, he did not fully believe what Hongjun of the primordial world had said.

Therefore, he used his supernatural powers to project Lu Yun and the others' movements in the Journey to the West world, preparing to observe them carefully with everyone.

The people of the primordial world were helpless and could only observe alongside them.

Only Tongtian from the Primordial World quietly left the main hall, preparing to go out and have a good talk with Tongtian from the Journey to the West World. (End of Chapter)
