In the Zixiao Palace, Haotian and Yaochi knelt before Ancestor Hongjun. Haotian wept bitterly as he poured out the current plight of the Heavenly Court one item at a time, then remained kneeling on the ground without getting up. Ancestor Hongjun sat high upon the cloud platform, looking at Haotian with a completely expressionless face. After a long while, he finally let out a sigh and said, "Enough. It seems the time has come for the next Tribulation to begin..."
Hearing the word "Tribulation" spoken from the lips of Ancestor Hongjun, Haotian and Yaochi, kneeling on the ground, could not help shuddering. Didn't they merely come to complain about the lack of manpower in the Heavenly Court? If the Daoist Ancestor were to simply issue an imperial decree, would any of those Heavenly Dao Saints dare not show respect? Was it really necessary to trigger a Tribulation over this?
A Tribulation! Though the final battle between the Wu and Demon clans had passed long ago, that scene of the heavens collapsing and the earth shattering still resurfaced in the hearts of all who had lived through it from time to time. Although the Heavenly Court had not accomplished much of late, had the Primordial World finally found peace with such great difficulty, only to endure another catastrophe like that again?
