Hong Huang: I Kept Offering Poisonous Plans! Hou Tu Urged Me to Calm Down

Chapter 10: The Poisonous Plan Was Rejected! Chu Xuan, You’re Too Extreme!

“All of the karma will fall upon Donghuang Taiyi!” The more Chu Xuan spoke, the more convinced he felt about his idea. He could hardly contain his excitement. “It is Donghuang Taiyi who overestimated his abilities in an attempt to refine the Dao fruit! It was Donghuang Taiyi who disrupted his focus and provoked the backlash of a Heavenly Tribulation! It was Donghuang Taiyi who caused the decline of all races and led to hundreds of millions of immortals perishing under the tribulation! We can even expand this so that, for the next ten epochs, tribulations will reach their peak due to the ripple effects of endless tribulation! This is the retaliation of the Dao, a response to those who challenge it. For us, as Ancestors of the Heavenly Tribulation Dao, any consequence would be minor at best! But can the Heavenly Court withstand the wrath of all races for ten epochs? With one plan, we could cut down the Heavenly Court’s prospects. When the time comes, a single call to arms will rally the entire world against the Heavenly Court!”

Chu Xuan’s tone was calm yet impassioned. He carried a righteous conviction as if he were a valiant fighter crying out on behalf of those who would perish under the countless waves of disasters.

The most crucial point was that unleashing these tribulations would punish all beings, and the immense gathered disasters would propel the new Heavenly Tribulation Dao forward by leaps and bounds. As an Ancestor of the Heavenly Tribulation Dao, Chu Xuan would undoubtedly benefit and advance further.

With a great catastrophe approaching, his current early Da Luo Golden Immortal level was still insufficient! This plan could weaken the Heavenly Court, alter the fate of the Wu race, and enhance his own cultivation.

It was a guaranteed win-win situation!

Chu Xuan felt entirely satisfied with his plan.

However, despite Chu Xuan’s satisfaction, the twelve Ancestors of the Wu race, who were listening to him, felt only fear. Even Di Jiang, who previously thought Chu Xuan could shoulder the race’s burdens, froze.

From the very start, when they heard the name of Chu Xuan’s plan, the Wu Ancestors felt an ominous foreboding. Heavenly Tribulation backlashes and annihilation of all races!

Once they heard his entire plan in full, they fell into a prolonged silence. Despite the Wu race’s general disregard for all non-Wu races and their equal disdain for other beings, they found themselves stunned.

Some of the Wu Ancestors exchanged odd glances with Chu Xuan, several of them opened their mouths to speak but stopped short.

Damn! It was too vicious! It was too extreme!

Though Chu Xuan’s plan was indeed well thought-out and had a seventy to eighty percent chance of dragging the Heavenly Court into an abyss, it was simply too ruthless!

Originally, they believed that the Heavenly Tribulation Plan was already enough to block the paths of countless beings in the future. They never thought that there was a backup plan!

It brought future obstructions into the present and even wiped out countless beings with a single thought. If this plan were implemented, it would cast all of the Primordial Realm in mourning!

Even Zhu Rong, known for his fiery temper, felt that his temperament wasn’t that intense after all. At most, he just wanted to brawl and occasionally beat a few Yaos. It was nothing compared to Chu Xuan’s plan!

But to be fair, although Chu Xuan’s plan was excessively venomous, all the Wu Ancestors present recognized its strategic soundness. If executed, the Heavenly Court of the Yao race would face inevitable destruction.

Unfortunately, this time they couldn’t deceive themselves by claiming it was for the Primordial Realm.

This left the Wu Ancestors feeling torn, some agreeing in part while others hesitated. Yet even the most supportive among them found the plan a bit too extreme.

As the Wu race’s leader, Di Jiang was not one to let empathy sway him easily, yet he too hesitated.

Seeing the Wu Ancestors silenced again, Chu Xuan felt a twinge of frustration.

What was going on? What was this about? Was it reasonable for such a good plan not to receive immediate support?

Unable to suppress his discontent, Chu Xuan felt compelled to say more. “Fellow Wu Ancestores, this is all for our Wu race’s sake! We cannot afford to be soft-hearted! Besides, whether they die now from the Heavenly Tribulation or later from the Heavenly Tribulation, it’s all to relieve the burden on the Primordial Realm! I think—”

However, before he could finish, a familiar yet firm voice cut him off, different from last time.

“No! How could we harm countless innocent beings for our own gain? We established the Heavenly Tribulation to sustain the Primordial Realm’s fate and maintain the natural balance. Tampering with it and intensifying it goes against our original intention! I absolutely will not agree to this! My brothers and sisters, surely you would not agree either!”

The beautiful Wu Ancestor, Hou Tu, looked resolute, her soft face determined as she glanced at the other Wu Ancestors. Some looked away with guilty expressions.

Indeed, they found Chu Xuan’s plan promising, though admittedly too extreme. A little backlash could be useful, but anything excessive was unacceptable.

Facing Hou Tu’s resolve and her occasional complex glances, Chu Xuan felt unexpectedly guilty. This was his tribe’s leader, who had looked after him since he came to this world. His little conscience caught him off guard, and he couldn’t come up with a way to persuade her.

Before he could silence his conscience, Di Jiang spoke, clearly having made a decision.

“Forget it; let’s drop this. Our little sister is right. This goes against our original intention, and the consequences would be considerable. There’s no need to bear such consequences over a mere Yao race.” Hearing Di Jiang’s words, the Wu Ancestors snapped out of it and realized that Chu Xuan had almost led them astray.

Indeed, it was a mere Yao race!

The Yao race’s Heavenly Court may seem powerful now, but it wasn’t a major concern. The future was still unwritten; they could always strike early.

However, Chu Xuan’s reasoning led them to fixate on the coming catastrophe, making them anxious. Now, after Di Jun’s words, they felt reassured.

With the Heavenly Court’s threat diminished, there was no need to resort to extreme measures.

Seeing the Wu Ancestors align against him, Chu Xuan’s second poisonous plan was decisively rejected in the world of the Primordial Realm.

This made Chu Xuan sigh.

He couldn’t explain that he was a transmigrator and was aware of how powerful the Yao race would eventually become and how biased Hongjun was in their favor!

He knew his plan was extreme, but it was highly effective!

He felt somewhat wronged, thinking his character had been misunderstood.

It was just a bit of foresight for the future; how could it be called a ‘poisonous plan’?

Chu Xuan shook his head but ultimately refrained from arguing further.

Having just ascended to power, he couldn’t afford to be too pushy. Sooner or later, those disasters would erupt, and his cultivation could advance gradually.

Even though he backed down, Chu Xuan didn’t intend to yield entirely. Some things were worth fighting for.

Seizing the moment, he changed the topic. “Alright, if the Wu Ancestors don’t wish to pursue this plan, that’s fine. But I must mention that even if we don’t use the Heavenly Tribulation directly, we should still make some arrangements to counter Donghuang Taiyi’s refining of the Dao fruit! Otherwise, if he sees through the Heavenly Tribulation’s hidden hands, it could lead to unity among the races against us! Strategies will either harm the enemy or cut ourselves like a double-edged sword.”

This time, Chu Xuan’s words received nods from the Wu Ancestors, who listened with solemnity.

Though this little brother’s plans were venomous, his wisdom was undeniable, and it was all for the Wu race’s benefit.

Despite their hesitations, there was some agreement with his intent.

Since this had been mentioned, none of the Wu Ancestors would ignore it.
