This primordial world is extraordinary.

Chapter 23: Too small, too small, too narrow in scope!

"Let me explain. Fellow Daoist knows that my mission is somewhat special, while Hongjun's mission is to protect all living beings, love the world, and uphold harmony and righteousness... Therefore, our philosophies are not aligned, and there is a bit of a conflict between our Daos."

Rahu stepped forward and spoke.

He continued, "But Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, you understand me. That was the me of the past. The me of now is different. I treat my own people with kindness and warmth, and I am ruthless and cold towards my enemies. I didn't have any enemies before, but I do now, so there is no Dao conflict... However, I still don't agree with Hongjun's point of view. I reserve my opinion."

That was the Rahu of the past, not the Rahu of today.

Simply put, Hongjun hoped that the primordial world would develop peacefully and easily, so that everyone would be happy.

Luo Hou disagreed, believing that only in harsh environments can one become strong, and that everything must face survival crises; a harmonious and peaceful life is simply impossible.

It will only make people feel no pressure and have no ambition.

Different philosophies.

For example, everyone wasn't this fast before; it was his constant robberies that made everyone much faster.

This is the progress that comes from pressure.

"It's alright, it's alright. It's nothing serious, this is easy to solve. Once we've strengthened the Primordial World, we can allocate a portion for Fellow Daoist Hongjun to manage, and another portion for Fellow Daoist Luo Hou to manage. Then, after a period of time, we'll see the results, and that'll solve the problem, won't it?"

"This is called a pilot program, a pilot program of different management methods, to see whose approach is more effective."

Kunpeng found a solution without even thinking; it was very simple.

There were too many such experiences in my past life.

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

Before Luo Hou could react, Yang Mei couldn't help but clap and cheer.

He now finally understands why Kunpeng was able to lead everyone to accomplish great things.

That's real skill! A simple pilot project was enough to resolve the conflict between the two. It's brilliant.

"Fellow Daoist Kunpeng is truly talented! A true genius!"

The same was true for the Young Master Qiankun; his gaze towards Kunpeng also changed.

He was the most pampered young master in the primordial world, with his own little pride.

I truly admire Kunpeng this time. Putting aside the gap between rich and poor, I need to learn from the difference in their thinking and wisdom.

"Thank you for your guidance, fellow Daoist." Luo Hou bowed respectfully.

I was a little touched. It was the first time I'd been recognized and given guidance. I was truly impressed.

"Hehe, it's nothing. Actually, Fellow Daoist Hongjun is right. We are all innate beings nurtured by heaven and earth. Not fighting and wasting our time is the greatest contribution to the prehistoric world. Moreover, we are born of supreme nobility and do not need to be forced. Our hearts are very firm in our pursuit of the Dao."

Kunpeng suddenly spoke.

After he finished speaking, Qiankun and Yangmei nodded in deep agreement.

Luo Hou frowned. Was he criticizing me?

However, that seems to make sense.

"Of course, Fellow Daoist Luo Hou, you are not wrong either. Living beings have a tendency to be lazy. A peaceful and harmonious environment cannot give birth to true strongmen. It is right to put pressure on survival... But the problem is that our prehistoric world is currently facing a crisis, and the number of us fellow Daoists is too small. Once the crisis of the prehistoric world is resolved, countless living beings will be born. That will be the opportunity for Fellow Daoist Luo Hou to show his skills."

"In short, fellow Daoist, you are not wrong, it's just that the timing was wrong."

Suddenly I realized, suddenly I realized.

For the first time, Luo Hou systematically realized where he went wrong.

Yes, we twelve were born noble, among the first innate beings, and such beings do not need high pressure or coercion.

Everyone has their own responsibilities and principles. If these can be changed, wouldn't that mean changing the choices of the primordial Heavenly Dao?

According to Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, once the prehistoric crisis is resolved and countless living beings appear, that will be the time for him to truly unleash his potential.

I understand completely now.

"Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, you are truly admirable. This humble Daoist Hongjun is deeply grateful for your guidance."

Skillful.

Kunpeng's words were overheard by Hongjun, who had come with Xiyi, Kunwu, and Yin Yang.

Hongjun was also greatly shocked, as if enlightened.

I am also grateful to Kunpeng for his affirmation and for resolving the conflict between me and Luo Hou. He has done me a great favor.

After all, it's quite unpleasant to be constantly chased and beaten up when you can't really beat Rahu who's wielding a long spear.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Hongjun. I've heard so much about you." Kunpeng smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.

I had actually spotted the four of them a while ago and was already making plans in my mind.

However, while there may be some calculation involved in speaking the truth, it is the truth and one's own opinion.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Kunpeng."

Hongjun swiftly stepped forward, bowed to Kunpeng, and then bowed to Qiankun and Yangmei.

Finally, the same thing was done to Rahu.

The main focus is on being polite and dignified.

The only problem was that the clothes were a bit tattered…

Of course, that doesn't count. Everyone only had one set of clothes, and Hongjun was the first to take human form and be born. The fact that he was able to keep his clothes intact is already quite remarkable.

"Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, I have failed your trust. Fellow Daoist Wangshu and Fellow Daoist Cangqiong were unwilling to back down, so we were unable to invite them. As for Fellow Daoist Wuji... I'm afraid he is in seclusion again and difficult to find," Xi Yi said with shame.

"It's alright, it's alright. I've heard about the situation of the two fellow Daoists from Fellow Daoist Qiankun."

Kunpeng indicated that he didn't care.

"However, it's too small, too small."

Kunpeng said meaningfully.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the Yin-Yang Ancestor detected the Yin-Yang Man's scent and hurriedly asked, "Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, what's small?"

"Your vision is too narrow. I would say that both of you fellow Daoists have a narrow vision."

"What do you mean by that?" Kunwu immediately followed up.

"Look, both of you fellow Daoists are thinking of dominating the celestial sphere. But how can the celestial sphere be perfected if the Primordial World doesn't overcome its crisis? What's the use of just waiting there? Besides, those who have contributed to the Primordial World will surely be favored by the Primordial Heavenly Dao. As for who will dominate the celestial sphere, who do you think the Primordial Heavenly Dao favors?"

"This is naturally a contribution to the primordial world, isn't it? I understand." The Yin-Yang Ancestor understood.

Everyone understands.

So this is what Fellow Daoist Kunpeng meant when he said that one's vision is too narrow.

That's right, since you haven't contributed anything, the Primordial Heavenly Dao naturally doesn't like you.

Not favored by the Primordial Heavenly Dao, yet still wanting to rule the starry sky?

"Master Hongjun, don't you think he should be taught a lesson?" After Hongjun arrived, all of Luo Hou's attention was focused on him.

Natural enemies are hard to change in a short time.

"You can guide them, you can explain the principles to them, but you must not go to extremes, you must not go to extremes."

Hongjun understood that Luo Hou was simply stating the facts.

In Luo Hou's view, those who disregard the big picture and have such a narrow perspective need to be taught a lesson.

Reasoning with them won't work.

"How should we guide them? Do you mean that the three fellow Daoists Xi Yi didn't tell them?" Rahu pressed on relentlessly.

"If we were to use Fellow Daoist Kunpeng's perspective, the answer would certainly be different. Ultimately, it's just that this humble Daoist lacks wisdom," said Xi Yi, trying to smooth things over.

"I think Fellow Daoist Luo Hou is not without reason. How can you be so ignorant when the overall situation is at stake? Right, Fellow Daoist Kunwu?" Yin Yang Ancestor couldn't help but say.

"Ah, yes, yes, that's too disregarding the big picture. Of course, we don't have Fellow Daoist Kunpeng's wisdom." Kunwu.
