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

This battle was incredibly exhilarating. In the end, Hongyun was so exhausted that he sat on the ground panting heavily, showing no signs of being a saint.

Although the outcome was still undecided, judging from the final state of the two, Zhen Yuanzi was clearly more relaxed.

"I'm not competing anymore, I can't beat you!" Hongyun waved her hand, not intending to stand up.

Zhen Yuanzi maintained a faint smile, especially after realizing that Taiyi had been taken away.

He stretched out a hand towards Hongyun: "The outcome is still undecided, how do you know you can't beat me?"

Hongyun glanced at the hand, hesitated for a moment, and didn't grab it: "There's no point in continuing to fight. I can't beat you, and you can't kill me, so why bother!"

Zhen Yuanzi glanced at Hongyun indifferently and sat down beside her: "It seems that the Hunyuan Daluo is still stronger. Although I used all my strength just now, I did not feel any difficulty at all."

Hongyun was well aware of the difference between a Primordial Grand Luo and a Heavenly Dao Saint. A Primordial Grand Luo was not bound by the Heavenly Dao and could continue to cultivate and break through in the future, while the cultivation path of a Heavenly Dao Saint had reached its end. Apart from entrusting their soul to the Heavenly Dao to achieve immortality, they had no other advantages.

And this advantage of immortality is only natural for a Primordial Grand Luo.

"If you force out the Primordial Purple Qi within your body, can you attain the Great Luo of Primordial Chaos?" Zhen Yuanzi had long had this thought, but hesitated for a long time before deciding to say it.

The Heavenly Way uses all living beings as pawns, and Hongyun cannot accept this philosophy, so he will certainly not cooperate with the Heavenly Way. Under the great calamity, Hongyun is in great pain because he cannot go against the will of the Heavenly Way. He can only watch helplessly as living beings suffer. He is heartbroken to see people with his brows furrowed every day.

Hongyun gave a bitter smile; he had no other choice.

The moment the Primordial Purple Qi was forced out, Hongyun should have ceased to exist in the primordial world.

He had considered attaining the Primordial Dao, but the path was far too difficult. Furthermore, Jieyin and Zhunti were eyeing him covetously; if he hadn't seized the Primordial Purple Qi and become a saint before them, he would likely have perished long ago.

Now they're trying to cross the river and then destroy the bridge, forcing out the Primordial Purple Qi. How could the narrow-minded Heavenly Dao possibly agree to that?

Hongyun shook his head: "My soul is attached to the Heavenly Dao, and I cannot be separated from it."

"You have your own opportunities, but I don't. Being able to obtain the Primordial Purple Qi and attain sainthood is already enough to make my birth in the primordial world worthwhile."

Compared to Hongyun Daoren of the Primordial Era, he is already much better off, at least he is alive and has become a saint.

Hongyun paused, ultimately lacking the ambition and courage to risk everything: "I have no grand ambitions, content with a peaceful corner of the world. If I have the ability, I'd like to protect the human race, after all, it's the race I... the race I watched being born!"

"You can do it!" Zhen Yuanzi noticed that Hongyun was in low spirits and wanted to comfort her.

"Humans reproduce very quickly. Although cultivation is a difficult path, their survival skills are extremely strong. Now that the Great Tribulation has ended, they can recuperate and rebuild. Perhaps in a few hundred years, the human race will again number in the tens of millions."

"At that time, you can teach humans new skills, and you can also take on disciples among humans, so that humans also have the ability to protect themselves."

Hongyun's eyes lit up. This was a great idea!

Rather than protecting humanity under one's wing, it is better to teach humanity how to protect itself.

Anyway, now that the Lich Wars have ended, no powerful being with profound cultivation will bother the human race anymore.
