Primordial Era: I am the chief disciple of the Three Pure Ones, the gatekeeper of the Great Dao.

Chapter 74 A Flexible Moral Bottom Line, The Eye of Divine Punishment!

The winds and clouds surged, and the universe trembled.

Humanitarian awakening is just around the corner.

Kunlun Mountain, Taiqing Palace.

The Three Pure Ones sat atop the towering cloud platform, their faces showing astonishment.

Sensing the fluctuations of the laws of heaven, they realized that the overall structure of the primordial world was undergoing earth-shattering changes.

"My two brothers, when I communicated with the Heavenly Dao, I sensed that it had lost its former composure."

"Its origin is filled with rage and chaos, which seems to be the wrath of Heaven triggered by the awakening of humanity!"

"I suspect that the Heavenly Dao might use the Dao Ancestor Hongjun to try and prevent the birth of humanity!"

Yuanshi Tianzun's voice trembled slightly as he turned to Taiqing Laozi and Tongtian Jiaozhu to convey his discovery.

Follow the guidance of the Way of Heaven to interpret its deeper meaning.

At this moment, Yuanshi Tianzun realized that the Heavenly Dao was not entirely cold and ruthless.

It is not merely a matter of pure order and law, but rather possesses its own will and considerations of self-interest.

Otherwise, why would Heaven be so angry because of the awakening of humanity?

"Second brother, calm down!"

"The awakening of humanity is an inevitable trend, which even the Heavenly Dao and the Dao Ancestor Hongjun cannot stop."

"After all, all the conditions are now in place, and there is nothing that can really stop this process."

"Let's just sit back and wait for the show to begin!"

"Speaking of which, the Kongtong Seal is Cangxuan's treasure."

"Although we do not yet know how he obtained it, once humanity awakens, he will undoubtedly become the true master of humanity."

"The new generation will always surpass the old. It seems we, the Three Pure Ones, are indeed going to be surpassed by our own disciples. This is truly both laughable and lamentable!"

Taiqing Laozi remained calm, took a deep breath, and spoke slowly.

Kunlun Mountain has always been sealed by the secret methods of the Three Pure Ones, and this seal can prevent the Heavenly Dao and other powerful beings from probing it.

Therefore, whatever Cangxuan obtains, he need not hide it from the Three Pure Ones.

Taiqing Laozi was naturally fully aware of all these circumstances.

"Cang Xuan has been controlling everything from behind the scenes!"

"Only now has a situation formed in which the Human Cult, the Dragon Clan, and the Phoenix Clan have joined hands with the Human Clan to jointly promote the awakening of humanity."

"All of this was planned by Cangxuan thousands of years ago."

"In terms of wisdom and foresight, let alone me, even you, elder brother, cannot compare to our disciple!"

The Master of Heaven was quick-witted and understood things immediately.

He quickly discerned Cang Xuan's entire plan and intentions.

Whether it was guiding Xuandu to become a disciple of Laozi of Taiqing, thereby promoting the teachings of humanity among the human race.

Whether it's the subsequent promotion of martial arts or other actions beneficial to the development of the human race, all of these are laying a solid foundation for the awakening of humanity.

Now, the Kongtong Seal has appeared in the ancestral land of humanity, and the awakening of humanity is imminent.

By the time the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun Daozu realized this, it was already too late.

The three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity should originally coexist equally.

How could humanity willingly be suppressed by the will of Heaven and abandon this only opportunity for awakening?

"Third brother is right!"

"Although I adhere to the principle of non-interference in governance, I will exert all my efforts at crucial moments."

"However, compared to Cang Xuan's disciple, I am still somewhat inexperienced!"

"The Dao Ancestor Hongjun is probably consumed by rage!"

"The entire Zixiao Palace trembled, radiating a purple light that illuminated the entire chaotic void!"

Taiqing Laozi closed his eyes and pondered deeply.

Originally, after Hongjun Daozu merged with the Dao, Zixiao Palace disappeared without a trace.

But at this moment, the anger of Hongjun Daozu caused his Daoist temple to appear in the primordial world.

As a sage of the Heavenly Dao, Taiqing Laozi was naturally well aware of the anomalies in Zixiao Palace.

He felt no guilt, only immense pride.

The younger generation is truly formidable, surpassing even their predecessors!

It's unbelievable that Cang Xuan soared into the sky and was able to rival his grandmaster, Hongjun Daozu.

"I urge you to have some conscience; after all, Hongjun Daozu is our master!"

"Respecting our teachers and elders, and following the way of Heaven, are our duties as disciples!"

"Of course, if it threatens Cang Xuan's disciple, then that's a different story!"

Yuanshi Tianzun spoke slowly with a solemn expression.

Upon hearing this, both Taiqing Laozi and Tongtian Jiaozhu couldn't help but laugh.

"Second Brother, you truly are a prized disciple of Dao Ancestor Hongjun! Your moral compass is certainly quite flexible and adaptable!"

"However, so am I."

The Tongtian Sect Leader put his arm around the Yuanshi Tianzun's shoulder and said with a slightly teasing smile.

A warm and harmonious atmosphere naturally arises.

At this moment, the Three Pure Ones abandoned their identities as Heavenly Saints and addressed each other simply as brothers.

This deep brotherhood is truly enviable.

Meanwhile, in the ancestral land of humanity, the situation is becoming increasingly urgent.

Golden light cascaded down like a waterfall, and the entire primordial world seemed to be covered by the rules of humanity.

The Kongtong Seal slowly rotated in the air, manifesting countless strange scenes, each of which appeared sacred and inviolable.

"Humanity is finally about to awaken!"

Tears welled in Cangjie's eyes, and his voice trembled with emotion.

Having experienced countless calamities for humanity, he deeply understands the predicament and struggles of humankind.

Now that the awakening of humanity is just around the corner, how could he not be excited?

Just then, a sudden change occurred in the sky.

Zhuque looked up and sighed, "The Heavenly Dao has finally made its move!"

At the very top of the sky, it seemed as if an invisible hand had torn open a huge gap in the heavens.

The gap was filled with chaos and an ominous aura, like a cold, giant eye looking down from above at everything in the primordial world.

At this moment, all living beings and powerful beings felt panic and unease.

"The Eye of Divine Punishment!"

The First Emperor cried out in alarm, "Is Heaven itself going to intervene and prevent the awakening of humanity!"

He quickly regained his senses and pleaded for help from Yuan Feng and his allies: "Fellow Daoists, please quickly protect the Kongtong Seal!"

"In order to prevent the awakening of humanity, Heaven will inevitably destroy this treasure. We must join forces to resist the divine punishment."

"Fellow Daoist Zulong, let's attack together!"

Yuan Feng shouted loudly, then activated the Nirvana Divine Fire, and seven-colored divine light shone forth.

At the same time, she activated the innate treasure Qiankun Cauldron, placing it on top of the Kongtong Seal to enhance its defensive power.

With everyone working together, the barrier that everyone had built in a short time was completed.

The barrier is strong enough to withstand a full-force attack from a Heavenly Saint.

However, all of this still seemed insufficient in the face of the Eye of Divine Punishment.

In the void, countless destructive forces were converging, and the runes of order were merging into the world-destroying thunder.

The deep purple light was terrifying, as if it could annihilate everything.

Meanwhile, in the endless void, Dao Ancestor Hongjun sighed helplessly: "The awakening of humanity, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse!"

"But I had no choice but to follow the will of Heaven and join forces with it to obstruct it."

He chuckled self-deprecatingly, "A spokesperson for the Way of Heaven, hehe."

Although the awakening of humanity might be beneficial to the prehistoric world, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun could not make the decision on his own.

As the spokesperson for the Way of Heaven, he was ultimately just a pawn in the game of the Way of Heaven.

Looking back, before he merged with the Dao, he was the master of three thousand innate deities, imparting to them supreme Daoist teachings, recruiting disciples, and bestowing upon them primordial purple energy and supreme treasures.

Now, however, he is merely a tool of Heaven, controlled by Heaven, devoid of any emotion.

"Purple Heaven Divine Thunder, Jade Disc of Creation, go!"

Ultimately, Dao Ancestor Hongjun cooperated with the Heavenly Dao and took action.

In an instant, the entire primordial world trembled.

The Eye of Heavenly Punishment signifies the Heavenly Dao's personal suppression, and even the Dao Ancestor Hongjun could not restrain himself from taking action, which terrified all living beings.

In the ancestral land of humanity, the powerful beings who witnessed this scene felt utterly devastated.
