Primordial: I, Dijun, Only Want to Build the Great Desolation-Chapter 899 - 532: Heavenly Tribulation and the Authority of the Human Emperor

Chapter 899: Chapter 532: Heavenly Tribulation and the Authority of the Human Emperor

Hongjun Taoist Ancestor looked at Di Jun before him and said calmly, "Since the Demon Emperor still wishes to engage with the Human Clan, I shall not insist otherwise."

"Thus, as the Demon Emperor said, let us proceed according to our agreement."

Emperor Jun of the Demon Clan nodded lightly in response.

"However, there is one matter now concerning the beings of the entire Primordial Heaven and Earth, and I hope the Demon Emperor can provide an answer."

Hongjun Taoist Ancestor said again.

"Is the matter that the Taoist Ancestor refers to the Heavenly Tribulation?"

Di Jun inquired with a calm expression.

Hongjun Taoist Ancestor nodded slightly, his voice without a ripple, saying, "Now both the Heavenly Dao and the Human Path have altered. The Heavenly Dao has restricted the cultivation of all beings, while the change in the Human Path restricts the cultivation of the Human Emperor."

"The change in the Human Path needs no elaborate discussion; it is an issue for the Human Clan to address themselves."

"As for the change in the Heavenly Dao, the matter of the Heavenly Tribulation is under your control, Demon Emperor. Do you have any thoughts on it now?"

Di Jun did not answer immediately, but after pondering for a moment, he looked at Hongjun Taoist Ancestor and asked in return, "Does the Taoist Ancestor also believe that the existence of the Heavenly Tribulation is to restrict the cultivation of the primordial beings?"

"Isn’t it so?"

Hongjun Taoist Ancestor answered without hesitation.

"Currently, the beings within the Primordial World are gradually increasing, and the Innate Spiritual Energy turning into Acquired Spiritual Energy still cannot meet the cultivation needs of the primordial beings."

"Under such circumstances, the Primordial Heavenly Dao naturally imposes restrictions to better nourish the Origin of the Primordial World, allowing it to grow continually."

"Does the Demon Emperor have a different view on this matter?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Jun did not express modesty and merely nodded gently.

"The Primordial World needs Innate Spiritual Energy to enhance and grow its Origin; on this matter, I agree with the Taoist Ancestor."

Upon hearing Di Jun’s words, Hongjun Taoist Ancestor’s expression showed no change, as this was a very obvious fact.

Otherwise, how could the Primordial World continue to grow if not from the spiritual energy arising out of nowhere?

He looked at Di Jun, waiting for his subsequent words.

Di Jun did not keep Hongjun Taoist Ancestor waiting long and spoke directly, "But regarding the matter of the Heavenly Tribulation, I hold a different view from Hongjun Taoist Ancestor."

"The Heavenly Tribulation is a trial imposed by Primordial Heaven and Earth on cultivators and is not a restriction."

After hearing Di Jun’s words, Hongjun Taoist Ancestor’s expression suddenly became solemn, and countless thoughts emerged quickly in his mind based on Di Jun’s words.

This involuntarily made him think of the Outer Heaven Demon clan led by Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, who bore the mission of the Heavenly Dao, testing the primordial beings.

If the test was passed, cultivation would naturally advance.

But if the test failed, they would be possessed by the Outer Heaven Demon, or perish directly, their path ending.

It now seems that the Heavenly Tribulation was not born after the change of the Heavenly Dao, but began unconsciously while gradually releasing the restraints on the Outer Heaven Demons and has persisted for a long time.

Di Jun was unaware of the multitude of thoughts in Hongjun Taoist Ancestor’s mind and continued.

"If a cultivator cannot overcome the Heavenly Tribulation, their cultivation disperses, returning to the Primordial Heaven and Earth."

"But what of the beings who overcome the Heavenly Tribulation?"

Before Hongjun Taoist Ancestor could answer, Di Jun spoke directly, "If under such circumstances they can safely overcome the Heavenly Tribulation, passing the test."

"Then that being, in talent, insight, disposition, and perseverance, exceeds ordinary beings."

At this point, Di Jun paused slightly and then continued, "Thus I believe the Heavenly Dao’s change and the emergence of the Heavenly Tribulation are not to restrict the cultivation of primordial beings."

"It is a selection, a test."

"To select beings suitable for cultivation, concentrating resources for their cultivation, while letting those unsuitable for cultivation return to the Heaven and Earth."

Di Jun suddenly stood up, his pupils turning golden, his gaze penetrated the Purple Cloud Palace, seeing the Primordial World.

Primordial Continent, Heavenly Realm, Netherworld, various beings were all absorbing and exhaling the spiritual energy of the Primordial World.

Each breath was an enormous consumption of the Innate Spiritual Energy within the Primordial.

Di Jun remarked with a sense of awe, "The number of beings in the Primordial is too great."

"Now in the Primordial, countless True Spirits are being nurtured at every moment, beings existing within the Primordial World."

"If we include the souls of the Netherworld and Ghost Path beings, how vast are the beings within the Primordial."

"Sustaining such a grand group, it is no wonder the Primordial Heavenly Dao imposes such a test."

"After all, the resources a mundane being requires to survive are minuscule compared to what a cultivator consumes."

Hearing Di Jun’s words, Hongjun Taoist Ancestor fell silent, unsure of what to say.

In fact, he understood there was another matter Emperor Jun had not mentioned, which pertained to beings of their level, or Saints.

When a whale falls, countless beings emerge.

The resources they consume are immeasurable, and once they fall, countless beings will be nurtured.

However, after endless epochs of cultivation, causing beings of their level to completely fall is exceedingly difficult.

Moreover, their existence also helps stabilize the Primordial World to a certain extent. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Just as Hongjun Taoist Ancestor’s mind was running wild with thoughts, Emperor Jun’s voice sounded once more.

"The current Primordial World needs the existence of cultivators; a powerful world necessarily has equally powerful internal beings."
