Prehistoric: Beginning with Foolish Old Man Moving the Mountains

"Do you think it's a shame to be a chess piece?"

The voice of Patriarch Hongjun seemed to have traveled through eternity, echoing in Zhou Qing's ears.

He stared at Zhou Qing, his eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts and every corner of Zhou Qing's heart. Zhou Qing felt like a transparent person, being thoroughly analyzed by the eyes of Hongjun Patriarch.

There was a complex emotion on Patriarch Hongjun's face, including disappointment in Zhou Qing and an indescribable regret.

Zhou Qing was seen through by Hongjun Patriarch, but he did not get angry because of this. He knew very well that in front of an existence like Hongjun Patriarch, any form of anger would seem so childish and ridiculous. He suppressed the fluctuations in his heart and tried to stay calm.

Zhou Qing straightened up, his eyes revealing a kind of firmness and determination. He took a deep breath and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Yes! I am the supreme heaven between heaven and earth, and the heaven cannot be insulted!"

Hearing Zhou Qing's words, Hongjun Patriarch's eyes suddenly showed a mocking look. The mockery was not directed at Zhou Qing himself, but at his conceited and arrogant attitude.

Zhou Qing felt the ridicule from Patriarch Hongjun and just felt dissatisfied.

Patriarch Hongjun smiled slightly, as if everything was under his control. He said slowly:

"The Heavenly Dao of Hengyu Great World is also the Heavenly Dao, which is more supreme than the Heavenly Dao of your Demon Realm. But look, where is it now? The Founding Yuanling is the spokesperson of the Great Dao, in charge of the Three Thousand Primal Chaos Continents, and all the guests in the Three Thousand Primal Chaos Palaces respect him as a teacher. Where is he now?"

The words of Patriarch Hongjun were like a sharp sword, piercing Zhou Qing's heart.

He was stunned, standing there like a wooden chicken, as if he was frozen. The words of Hongjun Patriarch echoed in his mind, and his heart was filled with shock and confusion.

Where is Hengyu Tiandao? Zhou Qing felt a chill in his heart. He knew that Hengyu Tiandao had been swallowed up by Honghuang Tiandao and disappeared in the chaotic world.

And what about the original spirit? Where is that former existence now? The original spirit was too reckless, and it angered Pangu, which led to the battle of the creation of the universe. He and Pangu were both injured, and now he is hiding somewhere to lick his wounds.

Patriarch Hongjun's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Zhou Qing's heart hard.

He began to realize his ignorance and shallowness. He understood what the ancestor Hongjun meant - there is no eternal strong man, there are people beyond people, there are mountains beyond mountains, and fighting hard is not afraid of being ordinary. In this world, there will always be a stronger and more terrifying existence than oneself.

However, he still felt a little dissatisfied. He was the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao and could not tolerate being used as a pawn.

Patriarch Hongjun saw through Zhou Qing's thoughts again, and he said bluntly: "Do you know why I chose you as my chess piece?"

The blunt words of Hongjun Patriarch made Zhou Qing's mood fluctuate. He was originally the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao, and his identity was noble, but at this moment, Hongjun Patriarch lightly called him a "chess piece". This change of identity was difficult for him to accept, and he was full of dissatisfaction and frustration.

Of course, Patriarch Hongjun saw Zhou Qing’s reaction, but he didn’t care. He had seen many such things.

In the entire prehistoric world, except for the authentic ones, humanitarian spokespersons and those who are daring and fearless, everyone else dares to be angry but not to speak in front of him.

Zhou Qing was obviously not a bold person. He finally became a saint and had his own Tiandao Sect. With his worries, he could no longer be as unrestrained as before.

"You must be feeling very aggrieved and filled with anger. But you must not dare to show your anger in front of me. What if I tell you that you can express your dissatisfaction as much as you want and I will never care?"

Zhou Qing was completely stunned, his mind was blank, he didn't understand what tricks Hongjun Patriarch was playing. However, with Hongjun Patriarch's words, Zhou Qing's anger was extinguished at once.

Patriarch Hongjun is not a person who likes to talk nonsense. He has long been free from vulgar tastes and will not deliberately ridicule or make fun of anyone.

A king's words are not a joke. Even a secular emperor has to be careful with his words and actions. How can a spokesperson for the Way of Heaven easily express his attitude towards another person?

Zhou Qing calmed down, bowed to Patriarch Hongjun, and asked sincerely: "Please give me some advice, Spokesperson."

Patriarch Hongjun looked at Zhou Qing's changes and felt a little relieved. He continued, "You must remember that in this world, the only person who can insult you is yourself. When your mind is as solid as a rock and indestructible, no humiliation or ridicule can enter your heart. You think it is a shame to be someone else's pawn, but everyone in this world is someone else's pawn."

After listening to the words of Patriarch Hongjun, Zhou Qing seemed to have some insights, but when he thought deeply, he fell into a fog again.

Patriarch Hongjun looked at him, his eyes sparkling with wisdom, and continued, "The identities of chess players and chess pieces are not absolute. While chess players are using chess pieces, they must also invest in them. Fellow Daoist Fang Yang is indeed using you, but from another perspective, you are also using him. Your relationship is more like a mutually beneficial transaction. You have achieved the Dao of Sainthood, and he has achieved the Dao of Primordial Chaos. This is a situation that benefits both him and you. Why do you feel humiliated?"

Zhou Qing suddenly became enlightened when he heard this. He had always been obsessed with his status and dignity, but he did not realize that in this world where the strong are respected, strength and interests are the most important. The reason why he felt humiliated was that he cared too much about his face and did not see the essence of the problem.

"If he's fine, I'm fine too..." Zhou Qing repeated the words of Patriarch Hongjun in a low voice. Some familiar images flashed through his mind, and the fog in his heart gradually dissipated.

He realized that in this world, there are no eternal enemies or eternal friends, only eternal interests. Although the transaction between him and Fang Yang seemed like he was being used, he actually gained huge benefits from it.

In front of a more powerful being, face is empty. The more he wanted to maintain his face, the less face he had. He was so desperate that he had to fight with Fang Yang for fairness and respect. Fang Yang did not abandon him, which was the greatest respect for him.

"In fact, if you want to regain your lost dignity and face, you are not without hope. There is a saying in the Wusheng Sect: 'Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west. Don't despise the young and poor. You are not as good as Fang Yang now because you haven't encountered the right opportunity. As long as you persist, one day, you will be able to treat Fang Yang as a chess piece."

Patriarch Hongjun always kept smiling, and his calm voice was full of temptation.

In the prehistoric world, the only one who was capable of defeating Fang Yang was the ancestor Hongjun. Therefore, the opportunity that the ancestor Hongjun mentioned actually referred to himself.

At this point, Zhou Qing no longer hesitated and bowed deeply to Patriarch Hongjun: "Disciple greets the teacher!"

"Okay, okay! From now on, you will be my fifth disciple, the fourth Pangu Qing, the Pangu Zhouqing Saint!"

Patriarch Hongjun stretched out his hand to help Zhou Qing up, his smile evident on his face.

Fang Yang has already poached Taiyi, Panwang and Wangshu from him. This time he has managed to turn the tables and recover his losses.
