Chapter 382 Major Primordial Realm Event Detected
Niu Ben accompanied the Three Pure Ones out of Zixiao Palace.
"Disciple, what do you think of this Saint's Crystal?"
Suddenly, the Supreme Sage asked this question.
Upon hearing this, Niu Ben smiled slightly, didn't hide anything, and replied:
"Master."
"This Saint's Crystal is naturally excellent. Simply refining it can allow one to instantly attain sainthood; it is truly a heaven-defying treasure!"
At this point, Niu Ben paused and added:
"If we could obtain the Saint's Crystal, it would be the best thing, whether for the disciples of the three religions or for the creatures of the Bull Clan."
Sanqing nodded in agreement with what Niu Ben said.
After a brief silence, the Sage of Heaven spoke:
"The teacher brought out this extraordinary item to reward those who made outstanding contributions in the subsequent war against the Devouring Universe Realm."
"I imagine the criteria for judging battle achievements at the Quasi-Saint level are quite different from those for us Saints."
"Or rather, one of the two Saint Crystals is prepared as a reward for Saints, and the other is prepared for those below the Saint level."
Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun glanced at him slightly and then replied:
"Third brother, that's not necessarily true."
"Perhaps the teacher has other intentions."
Upon hearing what the two said, the Supreme Sage's expression hardened, and he said calmly:
"Alright, stop making irresponsible remarks."
"No matter what, we must go all out in this great battle against the Devouring Universe Realm."
"Even without the reward of the Saint's Crystal, we cannot afford to lose in this life-or-death battle."
Upon hearing this from the Supreme Sage, both the Primordial Celestial Venerable and Tongtian nodded in unison.
They all knew very well that the Devouring Universe Realm's invasion was aimed at seizing the origin of the Primordial World. The collision between the two worlds left no room for maneuver; it was a matter of life or death!
Niu Ben didn't say anything.
It was already known that Dao Ancestor Hongjun offered the Saint's Crystal as a reward to encourage all living beings in the prehistoric world to compete.
The reason for not distributing the rewards before the great battle was to encourage all living beings in the primordial world to fight bravely in the subsequent battles!
"Those two extraterrestrial Primordial beings who were at the ninth level of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm were merely the vanguard of the Devouring Universe Realm."
"If that's the case, then there must be beings within the Devouring Universe Realm comparable to the Dao Ancestor and the Heavenly Dao."
"The ensuing war with the Devouring Universe Realm will likely be extremely fierce!"
Niu Ben muttered to himself, just then, a system notification suddenly sounded in his mind:
【Ding! 】
[A major primordial event has been detected—the "Devouring Calamity" is about to begin.]
[A god-level choice quest has been triggered!]
Please make a choice, host:
Option 1: Take the initiative and launch a counterattack against the other world.
[Before the main force of the Devouring Universe Realm fully descends upon the Primordial World, gather strength, reverse the flow of power to open or find a path to the Devouring Universe Realm, and launch a proactive attack to destroy its war potential.]
[Reward: 1 Fragment of a Primordial Treasure]
Option Two: Remain steadfast and await the arrival of the other world.
[Following the strategies of the Dao Ancestor and the Heavenly Dao, we deployed defenses on our native primordial land, waiting in ambush to repel the invading army from the Devouring Universe Realm.]
[Quest Reward: Top-Tier Innate Spiritual Treasure x1]
"Um?"
Upon hearing the system notification, Niu Ben suddenly stopped.
I never expected that the God-level Choice System would be triggered at this time.
"Take the initiative?"
"To wait in comfort for the enemy to tire themselves out?"
Niu Ben pondered to himself, feeling somewhat unsure of what to do.
Seeing Niu Ben suddenly stop, Sanqing also paused.
"Nephew Niu Ben, why are you lingering here?"
Yuanshi Tianzun glanced at Niu Ben with a puzzled look in his eyes.
At this moment, Taishang and Tongtian also looked at Niu Ben with deep eyes and faces full of curiosity.
Upon hearing this, Niu Ben quickly came to his senses, bowed respectfully to the Three Pure Ones, and replied:
"Master, my two senior uncles!"
"This disciple suddenly has a feeling, and there are some things I would like to ask the Dao Ancestor for further guidance and discussion."
"Please, the three division commanders, go ahead first."
After hearing what Niu Ben said, the three Qings exchanged a glance.
Niu Ben's status and position are now vastly different from what they used to be.
Putting aside everything else, he is a being who transcends the constraints of the Heavenly Dao and proves the Primordial Chaos Dao through his own power.
Nominally, they are still members of the three religions and juniors of the Three Pure Ones.
But in the eyes of the Three Pure Ones, Niu Ben was already considered an equal.
After a slight pause, the Supreme Sage smiled meaningfully and said:
"My disciple, since you have your own ideas, then do as you please."
"Remember, always consider things carefully."
Niu Ben nodded and hummed softly:
"Yes, Master."
Then, the three Qings did not linger and left together.
After the Three Pure Ones left, Niu Ben turned his attention back to selecting system tasks.
"Taking the initiative is a good idea, and we could even obtain a fragment of a supreme innate treasure!"
"Now, I have collected six fragments of innate treasures. I only need one more to synthesize an innate treasure."
"In the primordial world, if one could wait in comfort, one wouldn't need to do anything to obtain a primordial spiritual treasure."
After a moment's thought, a resolute glint flashed in Niu Ben's eyes, and he made his choice:
"System, I choose one."
Having made his choice, Niu Ben didn't hesitate and turned to walk into the Zixiao Palace.
"Senior Brother Niu Ben?"
Both Haotian and Yaochi were surprised to see Niu Ben return.
Niu Ben remained calm and said indifferently:
"I have something to discuss with the Dao Ancestor!"
As he spoke, Niu Ben ignored Haotian and Yaochi, who were slightly surprised, and walked straight into the palace.
Before long, he arrived at Zixiao Palace.
As soon as they stood still, a figure appeared out of thin air in front of them; it was none other than Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
"Um?"
Seeing Niu Ben turn back, Dao Ancestor Hongjun frowned slightly and asked in a low voice:
"Niu Ben, why have you returned?"
Even Hongjun couldn't see through Niu Ben, despite him being a being at the Heavenly Dao Realm.
In Hongjun's view, Niu Ben was the greatest variable in this primordial world.
That is why, when Niu Ben attained the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm in the underworld, the Heavenly Dao sent down a tribulation, intending to completely eliminate Niu Ben, this variable, from the primordial world. At the last moment, Hongjun chose to appear and shield Niu Ben from the Great Luo Thunder Tribulation.
Hongjun was quite surprised to see Niu Ben return.
He pondered that while the Saint's Crystal was indeed a valuable item, it was of little importance to a Primordial Grand Luo being like Niu Ben.
Upon hearing the question from Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Niu Ben remained calm and composed, replying with equanimity:
"Reporting back to our Grandmaster."
"I was just thinking that our strategy for dealing with the invasion of the Devouring Universe Realm might be more... proactive."
"Be more proactive?"
Upon hearing this, Hongjun's eyes flickered slightly, not quite understanding what Niu Ben meant.
Niu Ben nodded and replied:
"Exactly."
"Rather than waiting for ten thousand years for the enemy to be fully prepared and to launch a massive attack on our primordial world, we are forced to engage in battle."
"If we allow war to spread throughout the primordial world, it will inevitably lead to the destruction of all living beings and the destruction of our world's mountains, rivers, and ley lines."
"We might as well take the initiative!"
