Primordial Era: When a Good Guy Awakens a Morally Unethical System

Then he took out several more magical treasures and looked at the disciples below in turn:

"Your Excellency, as the chief disciple of my Xuanmen, you should teach and guide all living beings and take charge of the Xuanmen. Today, I bestow upon you the supreme innate treasure, the Taiji Diagram."

"Yuanshi, the Pangu Banner can break through chaos and recreate the earth, water, wind, and fire. It is also a supreme innate treasure, so I bestow it upon you."

"Tongtian, you cultivate the sword path and have also acquired the four immortal cultivation items, resulting in an excessive aura of killing. Therefore, your master will bestow upon you the Qiankun Cauldron to suppress your fortune."

"Hongyun, you are blessed with good fortune and have the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit suppressing your luck. Today I will hand over the God-Slaying Spear to you. Do not harm yourself."

Hongyun lowered her head and pouted, thinking how different it was to be favored.

In ancient Chinese novels, it is said that Hongjun (the Hongjun Emperor) favored Tongtian the most. When the Investiture of the Gods was about to end, he brought the already defeated Tongtian back to Zixiao Palace to protect him. After the Investiture of the Gods ended, Tongtian directly became the highest god worshipped by the Heavenly Palace, with a status even above Laozi.

But compared to now, the difference becomes apparent. In the novel, Hongjun didn't worry that Tongtian's acquisition of the Zhuxian Formation Diagram and the Four Zhuxian Swords would cause his fortune to dissipate due to excessive malevolence; he merely offered a few words of advice. This time, however, Tongtian also obtained the Qiankun Cauldron, a supreme innate treasure, something that disappeared after falling into Luo Hou's hands in the novel.

Huh? Luo Hou's stuff?

Luo Hou's possessions all fell into Hongjun's hands and were bestowed upon others by Hongjun. And his only disciple was still a penniless man.

Hongyun felt as if his heart was bleeding as he looked at the Qiankun Cauldron. It could have all been his!

As for the God-Slaying Spear, it also belongs to Luo Hou. Why would Hongjun need to give it to him? He might as well go and cry to Luo Hou instead.

After uttering countless complaints, he finally opened his mouth with, "Thank you, Dao Ancestor!"

Hongjun nodded and said, "Although you have the foundation to become a saint, you still need to study more on your own how to become a saint."

Laozi, Yuanshi, and Zhenyuanzi: "Yes."

Hongjun: "As your master, I still hope that you will follow my path. It would be best if you could sever your three corpses and become a saint. Becoming a saint through merit is still a bit weak."

Lao Tzu, Yuan Shi: "Yes!"

Hongjun then looked at Tongtian and Hongyun, who had been whispering to each other: "Tongtian is mischievous and Hongyun is impetuous. They need to be more mature in the future. How can they become saints if they keep acting so childishly!"

Tongtian was extremely impatient with being treated like a child and pouted, letting out an "Oh~".

Hongjun looked at Tongtian's aggrieved expression and sighed, "But it's okay to act recklessly, as long as you don't get bullied."

"Yes!" Tongtian, who had been feeling dejected and reprimanded by his master, instantly perked up again. He had just said that his master loved him the most, which meant that his master would definitely be his support!

Laozi and Yuanshi are starting to have a headache. Teacher, please don't give Tongtian any more confidence. Now he's causing trouble all the time and no one respects him. What if he tears the sky apart one day?

"Alright, from now on I won't leave Zixiao Palace unless it's absolutely necessary. If you need anything, come find me at Zixiao Palace through the main gate. If not, use the back gate."

The following sentence was clearly addressed to Tongtian and Hongyun; why would anyone else come to Zixiao Palace for no reason?

Laozi and Yuanshi were well aware of their own limitations. Compared to Nuwa and Taiyi, as their direct disciples, they were naturally closer to their teacher, but compared to Tongtian, they were still far inferior.

Zhen Yuanzi had even less to say; he didn't even seem to feel envy, let alone jealousy. His current task was simply to wait here until Hongyun was free to leave, and then leave with her.
