This primordial world is extraordinary.

Chapter 42: The Maintenance of Instinctive Reactions

For Kunpeng, it wasn't exactly a blow, but it was somewhat unexpected.

However, there are two sides to every story. On the bright side, isn't this also a sign of progress in wisdom?

Although it's dark, that's reality—conflicts, conflicts of interest, and open and covert struggles are the most powerful catalysts for progress.

"This time, we can still use deception to motivate everyone to work hard, at most three or four times. After that, we need to tie them together with shared interests; that's the ultimate solution."

Kunpeng has come to a realization.

Whether it's Rahu or Yangmei, why the rush?

Ultimately, it all comes down to whether or not one has benefited from the benefits, or whether the benefits were distributed unevenly.

The four members of the exploration team have all made significant progress. Although it may seem like they've gone from taking a five or six-meter stride to seven or eight meters, that's a 20% improvement, which is quite remarkable.

The four goalkeepers didn't get the same result, so of course they were unhappy.

Especially Luo Hou, the "number one expert," clearly felt threatened.

He already had enemies all over the prehistoric world, how could he accept being surpassed by Hongjun, Xiyi, and Yangmei?

"Perhaps this is the source of the conflict," Kunpeng thought.

Kunpeng also needs to learn and grow.

"It seems I made the right decision tonight."

Kunpeng reflected on his actions that evening.

Although we didn't achieve the optimal solution, it wasn't the worst outcome.

In particular, it was very good that he did not continue the discussion but chose to adjourn the meeting.

If I had thought about resolving the conflict back then, that would have been a mistake.

The situation at the time was not something that could be resolved.

Everyone was angry, making it difficult to reach a reconciliation.

It seems better to let everyone calm down for a while.

Even if I can't calm down, I can just observe the situation tomorrow and let them fight it out. Anyway, I'm sitting firmly on the sidelines, and no one can shake my position.

It was I who offered suggestions to the Heavenly Dao, and it was I who opened the portal to the Source Mother World.

Xiao Yi is one of our own, and her intelligence is slightly better than theirs... With so many advantages, how could we possibly lose?

"They won't be satisfied if we don't fight. Anyway, we have the ultimate weapon of mutual benefit to bind us together. Let them fight it out. They won't break up when it comes to mutual benefit."

Kunpeng has come to a realization.

Since that's the case, and I didn't get a good rest last night, I won't think about anything tonight and will just go to sleep.

As for the harvest in the next few days?

Never mind, it's just my first time connecting to another world. It's good enough if I can gain anything. I shouldn't be too ambitious.

"Thank you for your righteous words, fellow Daoist. There are still wise people out there... It's not that I, Luo Hou, am impatient for quick success and instant benefits, but the tide waits for no one. Besides, even if we are a team, there are differences in strength within the team! You don't want us to have less merit than others when it comes time to summarize our achievements, do you? Besides, they have already taken the first step before us."

Luo Hou felt that he had finally understood.

This is the optimal solution for creating unrest, unlike before when we foolishly robbed everyone, causing everyone to hate us.

I was so foolish before, but things are much better now.

Robbery is no match for the chaos and devastation it causes.

He also understood the benefits of uniting the majority of people, so he called the four gatekeepers together.

Although the other three had some opinions about him, they were all able to accept them after Luo Hou lowered his stance.

After all, Rahu was right. When it comes to one's own interests, even if one doesn't accept Rahu in one's heart, one has to force oneself to accept it.

"That's right. That old guy never dared to be so arrogant before. So what if his strength has improved? Hmph, he dared to be so boastful before. I'll definitely teach him a lesson," Kunwu said.

He used to be really good at dealing with Yang Mei.

It's incredible, but who gave him a rusty sword while Yangmei only had a broken wooden staff?

Having the advantage in weaponry, Kunwu was able to defeat Yangmei.

Just like Rahu, who was invincible with his long spear.

In an era when innate treasures and innate spiritual treasures were merely receivers, whoever wielded the longest weapon was the number one expert.

"No, no, we still have to give Fellow Daoist Kunpeng face," Luo Hou said.

In a bizarre turn of events, a highly dangerous individual is actually advising others to remain calm and not to take action.

Rahu had a firm grasp on the situation.

"I refrained from taking action out of respect for Fellow Daoist Kunpeng... However, Fellow Daoist Kunpeng is somewhat indecisive!" Kunwu said.

"Hmm!" Luo Hou's expression changed immediately.

It's a very natural reaction; it's not that I actually took Kunpeng, but rather it's just the body's most honest response.

"Fellow Daoist, that's too much," Luo Hou said seriously.

"Kunwu, why didn't I notice you were so talkative before?" said the Yin-Yang Ancestor.

Even he, the leader of the duo, was somewhat dissatisfied with Kunwu's last sentence.

"Foolish!" Young Master Qiankun also expressed his dissatisfaction.

"Ah, haha..." Kunwu suddenly realized what he had said and quickly said, "Look at my mouth, I'm just talking nonsense! That's not what I meant. I meant that Fellow Daoist Kunpeng has been misled by bad people!"

Kunwu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, wondering what he had just said.

Can you just say whatever you want about Kunpeng?

Although I can't understand why Kunpeng can't be spoken of casually, let alone offended, my instinctive reaction is unmistakable.

Kunpeng is a person you cannot afford to offend.

The NPCs, despite their wisdom, still cannot comprehend that Kunpeng holds the key to everything.

But instinct tells me that this person is not to be trifled with, or I will find it difficult to survive in this primordial world.

Even Rahu himself was taken aback.

Why should I naturally protect Kunpeng?

Is it just because I couldn't beat him and got a beating from him?

It doesn't seem so. Even though I got beaten up, I'm not convinced.

One day we will be stronger than Kunpeng, and we will fight back.

This is his idea.

He instinctively protected Kunpeng, but he couldn't understand why.

"It was Fellow Daoist Kunpeng who united us, and it was Fellow Daoist Kunpeng who informed us of the Great Tribulation of the Primordial World. Even our experience and path were taught by Fellow Daoist Kunpeng... Fellow Daoist Kunwu, you are wrong to say that," said Young Master Qiankun.

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Luo Hou seemed to understand something.

Yes, all of this is thanks to Kunpeng. It seems reasonable for him to protect the one who contributed the most.

"At the very least, Fellow Daoist Kunpeng will give me some fine food. This is the first time someone has ever given me such a meal. Kunwu, we must have a conscience," said the Yin-Yang Daoist.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes. Please forgive me, everyone. You all know my personality. I'm not a bad person at heart, I just tend to talk nonsense. I will definitely be more careful in the future. I will go and apologize to Fellow Daoist Kunpeng first thing tomorrow morning."

Kunwu is cunning and treacherous, with a volatile and instigating nature, and is known for his ability to endure and yield.

He immediately said he would change it.

"Yes, that's it."

Luo Hou suddenly clapped his hands and cheered, "Not only did you apologize, but you also said that you were wrong last night and that you would not argue anymore... Fellow Daoist Yin Yang, you also said that you would not argue anymore... I will also say that I made a mistake in consideration and that I would not argue anymore. Let's see how Yang Mei will save face."

After saying that, the three of them fell into deep thought.

He immediately realized what was going on.

"Brilliant! Fellow Daoist Rahu is truly brilliant!"

"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!"

"Ha ha……"
