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

Chapter 339

Yoho~

"You actually have fragments of the Chaos Pearl?" Hongyun was genuinely surprised, as even the system couldn't collect all the Chaos Pearls.

But then, Hongyun's expression turned serious again.

He rarely takes out his magical artifacts, and very few people have seen them, let alone know about the Chaos Pearl. How did Jieyin know that the fragments of the Chaos Pearl were useful to him?

"Hand over whatever you have!" Hongyun stretched out her hand in front of Jieyin.

With eyes full of resentment, Jieyin slowly took out a bead with mottled spiritual energy.

After the Chaos Pearl fragment was placed in Hongyun's palm, it entered Hongyun's body and merged with the previous fragment.

Hongyun nodded: "It is indeed true. Consider it repayment for the lotus seeds you gave me for my rebirth."

"Let's consider other things. My disciples, Yu Sheng and Yu Heng, can't have died in vain. How many disciples are you prepared to make pay for their deaths?"

Now that the Investiture of the Gods has been published, Yu Sheng and Yu Heng can be included on the list after their deaths. Although they are driven by others, they are not considered dead.

Since the outcome cannot be changed, Hongyun can only seek to maximize her profits.

"Your two disciples really have nothing to do with me!" Jieyin shouted angrily.

Hongyun couldn't possibly believe her, and immediately pointed outside: "Do you dare swear?"

As soon as the guide's expression relaxed, Hongyun continued, "It's not against the Heavenly Dao, but against the Great Dao and the Dao Ancestor. If the deaths of Yusheng and Yuheng have even the slightest connection to you, I will ensure the destruction of Buddhism, the annihilation of the Western Vein, and the birth of no more living beings."

How could Jieyin possibly do such a thing? Even if Yusheng and Yuheng's deaths had nothing to do with him, he would never make such a vow.

"Impossible! If you have the guts, then fight! When the heavenly lightning strikes, you won't be any better off!" Jieyin had seen the benefits and believed that Hongyun wouldn't dare to defy the will of heaven.

Hongyun sneered and raised her hand to deliver a slap.

The blow to Jieyin's chest caused it to cave in, and he coughed up blood repeatedly, leaving him with no strength left to resist.

Heavenly lightning descended, crashing directly onto the palace on Mount Sumeru. Zhen Yuanzi drew his Earth Book and raised his hand to block the lightning.

The Heavenly Dao can naturally break the barrier of the Earth Book, but the Earth Book is the iris of the earth; if the Earth Book is destroyed, the primordial earth will collapse.

Hongyun boasted, "See? Am I afraid of you?"

The guide exclaimed, "You! How dare you disrespect the ways of Heaven!"

"What good does it do to be respectful? Does being overly obedient mean he'll do everything my way? If not, why should I compromise?"

"The Heavenly Way is ruthless and cold-hearted. Every great calamity is a downgrade of spiritual energy, causing us old people to die one by one during the calamity, and the primordial world is completely under its control."

"Today, when Buddhism is thriving, he can disregard Taoism. But when Buddhism is doomed, let's see if you'll still obey his will in everything and bravely face death!"

Heaven is ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs. But even straw dogs have intelligence, so how could they willingly submit to being preyed upon?

Jieyin wasn't stupid; he had long known the coldness of the Heavenly Dao. Even Hongjun could be schemed against and abandoned, so what could he possibly do?

But he couldn't refuse, nor could he refuse. If he hadn't sided with the Heavenly Dao, how could Buddhism exist today? Even he himself would have been killed by Hongyun and the other man long ago.

Although he is now dealing with a tiger for its skin, at least he will no longer be looked down upon, and the West will no longer continue to live a life of spiritual depletion, sparse life, and uncertainty about where the next meal will come from.

"The Heavenly Dao controls the primordial world, and everything has its own profound meaning." Jieyin dared not say a word that the Heavenly Dao did not like to hear, and had to bite the bullet and maintain the Heavenly Dao's dignity.
