Chapter 722: Chapter 457: The Strategy of the Respected Daoist

At that moment, Hen Dao shook his head and said, "The Supreme Above once declared that the death of the Great Path was real and undeniable."

His trust in the Supreme Above was unconditional.

"Your Supreme Above is nothing but the Heart Demon of that old man, perhaps a mere pawn as well," chuckled the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning.

Hen Dao didn’t make any rebuttal.

"If the Great Path is the chess player, who can contend with it? If we are all but pawns, how can there be any notion of autonomy?" Hen Dao didn’t argue, but instead spoke very calmly, "Regardless, our duty is to liberate the Supreme Above. This is our mission and the reason for our existence."

Just as the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning had said, what if the Great Path had not perished?

Hen Dao was well aware that if the Great Path had schemed, who could have escaped?

"I’ve always had a question, as a follower of the Great Path, why did you rebel?" Hen Dao’s tone shifted once again.

It is known that the Great Path had five disciples.

The Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning was ranked fourth, but now it seems he was the only one who rebelled, committing treachery against his master.

An act against heaven!

"You certainly ask a lot, but telling you is no harm. All I did was to try and devour the old geezer’s remnants to attain the Great Path for myself. Since he is dead, it was only right to benefit me. Unfortunately, the Ancestor of Early Dawn and that wretch Qing Lan didn’t want me to succeed," the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning said with a hint of severity in his voice.

This was his own explanation.

Hen Dao maintained a skeptical attitude.

But these matters had little to do with him.

And he wouldn’t inquire further.

"Compared to the Chaotic Martial Ancestor, the one who really should be guarded against is actually the Ancestor of Early Dawn," the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning suddenly added.

"The Ancestor of Early Dawn!" Hen Dao frowned.

The five disciples of the Great Path.

The Ancestor of Early Dawn ranked second.

He is the current Supreme of the Dao Realm.

To Hen Dao, the Ancestor of Early Dawn was still known for leading the Myriad Realms Epoch through calamities.

Hence, Hen Dao didn’t have a clear understanding of his strength.

"Among us five, the Ancestor of Early Dawn might not be the strongest, but he is certainly the most cunning. The fool Qing Lan was just tricked into being his puppet, otherwise, they couldn’t have sealed me successfully," he stated.

"After revealing himself in the Epoch, he vanished for eons. A large part of why I infiltrated all epochs was to find him; he is like a venomous snake, ready to strike fatally at any moment. Throughout all these epochs, I never once caught sight of him, until the Myriad Realms Epoch, when he finally appeared. I suspect he has even grander schemes."

"If that old man is truly dead, and if we are indeed trapped in this game, then he will be the chess player!" The Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning finished, causing Hen Dao to be inwardly startled.

That’s because the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning’s appraisal of the Ancestor of Early Dawn was too high.

As a disciple of the Great Path, he was also an expert with almost 2,900 Dao Divine Patterns and was infinitely close to surpassing the Great Path itself.

Yet now, talking about the Ancestor of Early Dawn, his words were full of wariness.

"What are his objectives? Could it be that he wants to achieve something above the Great Path?" Hen Dao frowned.

No one is driven without interest, nor would anyone scheme so much just to serve another’s purpose.

"I do not know his thoughts. The only one who might have known his mind was that old man," the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning sighed.

Now, as he dominated the eighteen epochs, taking advantage of them, he showed a slight dejection.

"My Secret Forces have a Supreme in both the Pure Land and the Myriad Realms, but I do not know if they have defected. I have exhausted all means to infiltrate the Vast Wilderness, to no avail. I suspect that whether it’s the Ancestor of Early Dawn or the Vast Wilderness, someone has infiltrated my Secret Forces," laughed the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning.

His penetration of the Secret Forces once terrified everyone.

No one knew how many Supremes he had turned, or how many had been backstabbed by their most trusted.

But unknowingly, nails from the Secret Forces had been almost completely removed.

Unknowingly, the Secret Forces had become the ones infiltrated.

Whether it was irony or something else,

the Twisted Supremes also had access to information from All Heavens and other forces.

But they definitely did not have as much detail as the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning, and there was much they didn’t know.

Moreover, as a disciple of the Great Path, the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning knew many secrets not even the Supreme Above was aware of.

After all, the Supreme Above only resurrected after the collapse of the Great Path, while the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning had been by the side of the Great Path for an unknown number of years.

After a moment of silence, Hen Dao and others also understood the gravity of the situation.

In this Epoch, they might no longer be the Judicators.

A long time passed before Hen Dao’s voice came again, "If we assist you in freeing your true self, can you help us rescue the Supreme Above?"

"I have no choice now!" stated the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning.

Then, his figure completely vanished.

The cooperation between them, surprisingly, had grown even closer after the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning’s plans had failed.

After the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning left, Blood Fiend spoke up, "Leader, the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning is crafty, and we do not know the truth from the false in his words. Should we truly cooperate with him? Isn’t this..."

Hen Dao watched the direction in which the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning had departed and said, "The Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning is right, we have no choice now. To cooperate is mutually beneficial; the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning has us in his grip quite perfectly. But we are not entirely passive. The Supreme Above has signaled that his seals have loosened once again, giving us a few more chances to act. Even if the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning frees his true self, he won’t be able to cause much of a stir."

All of them were leaders in their own right, giants within their domains. Who among them could be a fool?
