Primordial Era: I am the First Green Ox, the Senior Brother of the Three Religions

Chapter 329 The Heavenly Dao Descends, Choosing to Activate

To everyone, it seemed that Niu Ben's true form had completely disappeared after colliding with the sixth Primordial Lightning Tribulation.

"Big brother?"

"What about Niu Ben and Lei Jie?"

Upon seeing this, the Sage of Heaven was also bewildered and quickly looked towards the Supreme Being.

Yuan Shi was the same, his brows furrowed with doubt.

"this……"

Taishang was stunned. Even though he was the head of the Three Pure Ones and a sage, he was bewildered by this sudden situation.

Seeing Taishang's expression, Tongtian and Yuanshi knew what was going on, but Taishang himself was unaware of it.

At this moment, some of the creatures watching the ceremony exclaimed in surprise and doubt:

"Could it be... that it perished along with the power of the lightning tribulation?"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the creatures present tensed up, their hearts leaping into their throats.

After all, those who could come to this endless Netherworld Abyss to witness Niu Ben's tribulation of Hunyuan all had a close relationship with Niu Ben.

Disciples of the three religions are all his junior brothers and sisters.

For example, the creatures of the cattle tribe are all people under its command.

As for the human race, they are the lineage of Niu Ben's apprentice.

Now, seeing Niu Ben disappear along with the power of the lightning tribulation, and possibly perish together with it, naturally made them very worried.

Just when many living beings were filled with worry.

In a void, the scene before Niu Ben's eyes suddenly changed.

"Um?"

He frowned and discovered that the original Netherworld Abyss had disappeared, and the destructive lightning had also vanished without a trace.

What appeared before his eyes was a blurry and distorted space.

Within this space, there seems to be no concept of time and space; it is a blank space, devoid of any matter or energy.

After a brief look, Niu Ben's brows furrowed even more, and he muttered to himself:

"strangeness!"

"Am I undergoing the Primordial Tribulation?"

"Where is this place?"

Niu Ben looked hesitant, his expression full of confusion and bewilderment.

Just as he was puzzled, a strange change occurred.

But then, within this empty world, a gigantic eye slowly emerged.

Once those eyes appeared, they occupied most of Niu Ben's field of vision.

Besides, what shocked Niu Ben even more was...

That eye was pure white, cold and indifferent.

Moreover, it exudes an aura of supreme power.

What surprised Niu Ben even more was that there were countless mysterious golden runes flowing in those eyes, each rune seemingly expounding a profound principle of heaven and earth!

Just as Niu Ben was staring at that eye, that eye was also staring back at him.

Just one glance from those eyes made Niu Ben tremble uncontrollably.

He felt as if everything about him was seen through by those eyes—the past, the present, and the future…

Before Niu Ben could recover from the shock, an absolute suppression originating from the level of life suddenly descended upon him.

Niu Ben's soul trembled.

It took him a long time to calm down, and his thoughts raced.

"Could it be... the Eye of Heaven?"

Suddenly, a thought popped into Niu Ben's mind.

Upon realizing this, he immediately felt reassured.

These suddenly appearing eyes are very likely the Heavenly Dao Eye, the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao!

"What's going on?"

"Why would the Eye of Heaven appear at this time?"

"Have I been pulled into another world by the power of Heaven?"

Niu Ben secretly guessed.

Just then, a cold and authoritative voice suddenly rang in his ears:

"Submit to the Way of Heaven!"

"I can help you attain the Primordial Chaos!"

Upon hearing these words, Niu Ben was startled and quickly looked up at the enormous eyes.

He was certain that the voice he had just heard was a message from Heaven.

"Um?"

"Is Heaven forcing me to submit?"

"If I agree, you can help me achieve the Great Luo Primordial Realm?"

Niu Ben was astonished. He never expected that when he was undergoing the sixth Great Tribulation of Primordial Chaos, even the Heavenly Dao would be alarmed.

Moreover, Tiandao even discussed a deal with him.

As long as he agrees to submit to the Heavenly Dao here, he can achieve the Great Luo Primordial Chaos!

"Damn it!"

"Is it still possible to do this?"

"Could it be that I broke through to the Primordial Chaos realm without authorization, thus violating the restrictions of the Heavenly Dao rules?"

Niu Ben's mind raced, his thoughts racing.

Just then, a system notification sounded in his mind:

【Ding! 】

[The system detected that the host is facing a critical decision, triggering a divine choice.]

[Option 1: Submit to the Heavenly Dao, offer up your primordial power, and merge with the rules of the Heavenly Dao.]

[Reward available: One innate supreme treasure.]

[Note: Primordial treasures are bound to the Heavenly Dao, and their power increases with the authority granted by the Heavenly Dao.]

[Option Two: Resist temptation, uphold your principles, use your body as fuel and your soul as fire to ignite chaos, break the shackles of the Heavenly Dao, and forcefully prove your Dao.]

[Reward: One Baptism of the Great Dao Origin.]

[Note: Baptism carries immense risk, but also offers unparalleled opportunity; it may result in complete transcendence, or it may lead to annihilation of both body and soul.]

"this?

Upon hearing the system's notification, Niu Ben was terrified.

"Are you suggesting I take a huge gamble?"

Niu Ben murmured to himself.

He knew very well that if he chose option one, he could not only become a Primordial Golden Immortal, but also obtain a supreme innate treasure!

Moreover, there is little risk involved.

The only limitation is that the Primordial Great Luo he achieved was accomplished with the help of the Heavenly Dao, and therefore he is subject to the limitations of the Heavenly Dao.

However, if one chooses option two, one can continue to forcibly prove one's path.

If successful, it would be great; not only would one be able to attain the Primordial Dao, but one would also receive a baptism of the Great Dao's origin.

However, there are also great risks involved in the baptism process.

In an instant, Niu Ben's thoughts raced, and he quickly began to make calculations in his mind.

"Option one seems like a safe bet, a shortcut to success, allowing you to instantly obtain everything that countless people desire."

"Holy throne, supreme treasure, authority."

"But the price is losing oneself and being bound by the laws of Heaven!"

"Option two, though dangerous, if successful, will allow you to forge a truly unique path of transcendence."

After a moment's thought, a resolute glint flashed in Niu Ben's eyes, and he made up his mind.

"Dry!"

"So what if it is the will of Heaven?"

"You want me to be your dog? Dream on!"

"What has Lao Tzu's cultivation been for, fighting against humans, demons, and even the heavens?"

"Isn't it just about finding that so-called transcendence?"

"If we simply submit to the will of Heaven, becoming like a caged bird or a fish in a pond, subject to this damned Heavenly Way, then what's the point of all this?"

"Let our bodies be the fuel, our souls the fire!"

"On the path to breaking free of shackles, even if it means the annihilation of body and soul, so what?"

Niu Ben roared inwardly, his eyes gradually becoming clear and resolute. With a thought, he sent a response to the system:

"system."

"I choose option two!"

The moment Niu Ben made his choice, a boundless and powerful aura erupted from his body.

The next moment, Niu Ben slowly stretched out one hand, and endless blood and qi surged within his body.

"Break it!"

Niu Ben roared and clenched his fist in the air in front of him.
