Emperor Wu Shihuang's handwriting, do not go out of the Milky Way border

"Beautiful! You danced really well."

Ying Zheng praised without changing his expression.

Even if he only glanced at it a few times, he still knew how to say the things people wanted to hear.

Huo Ling'er blushed slightly upon hearing Ying Zheng's praise.

"Can I sit next to you? I don't have any other seats."

Huo Ling'er said weakly to Ying Zheng, looking pitiful.

Just as Ying Zheng was about to speak, his voice was drowned out by Kong Xuan and Donghuang Taiyi.

"Please sit here! I have a seat here. There's no room for Ying Zheng."

Donghuang Taiyi stood up, pointed to the empty seat next to him, and said to Huo Ling'er.

He was very glad that Huo Luan had drunk too much and was sent back earlier, otherwise Huo Ling'er would have had nowhere to sit.

Ying Zheng didn't say anything when he saw this.

Seeing that Ying Zheng didn't speak, and not wanting to offend Donghuang Taiyi—after all, he was a guest—Huoling'er sat down in the spot where Huoluan had been sitting.

"Thank you very much!"

Huo Ling'er thanked Donghuang Taiyi.

Seeing that she was relatively close to Ying Zheng, she didn't show much reluctance.

"Now let's drink and eat to our hearts' content! Young friend Ying Zheng, eat as much as you like, there's plenty of good wine and meat!"

The emperor said to Ying Zheng.

Seeing his daughter Huo Ling'er sitting not far from Ying Zheng, the emperor couldn't stop smiling.

His daughter was obsessed with Ying Zheng all day long; it was true that daughters grow up and leave home, and all she wanted to do was run away.

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Huo Ling'er walked towards Ying Zheng with a cup of fiery wine in her hand.

"Ying Zheng, last time you left in such a hurry, we didn't even get to have a drink together. Today, I'd like to offer you a toast."

Seeing Huo Ling'er approach, Ying Zheng didn't want to embarrass a woman, so he raised his wine cup in return and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing Ying Zheng's straightforwardness, Huo Ling'er was overjoyed and drank the wine in her cup in one gulp.

By this point, Ying Zheng had drunk five cups of wine. Apart from feeling slightly dizzy, he felt no other discomfort.

"Ying Zheng, how many drinks have you had today? You mustn't drink too much!"

Seeing that Ying Zheng was a little dizzy, Huo Ling'er reminded him.

"It's nothing, just five cups. It's a small matter, don't worry. You go do your thing, I'll drink by myself."

Ying Zheng still wanted to put an end to Huo Ling'er's hopes as soon as possible. He and Huo Ling'er were ultimately impossible, and he couldn't let the young woman suffer.

"Oh...then you should drink less."

After saying this, Huo Ling'er left Ying Zheng's seat and returned to Donghuang Taiyi's side.

"Let's ignore him; he's a quiet type. Why bother provoking him?"

When Donghuang Taiyi saw that Huo Ling'er had run into a wall with Ying Zheng, he offered words of comfort.

Huo Ling'er nodded to Donghuang Taiyi. She understood that Ying Zheng was indirectly rejecting her, but she still wanted to try again.

"Kong Xuan, come here for a moment."

Huo Ling'er shouted to Kong Xuan.

Kong Xuan was feeling down because Donghuang Taiyi had pulled Huo Ling'er away.

But as soon as he heard Huo Ling'er call his name, he immediately beamed with joy and ran towards her.

"Ling'er, what do you want to see me about?"

Kong Xuan leaned closer to Huo Ling'er and asked.

When Huo Ling'er saw Kong Xuan coming over, she asked him:

When do you plan to go back? Could you stay a few more days?

Kong Xuan thought for a moment and replied:

"Ying Zheng said he'd leave after the banquet. Something might have happened there, and he needs to get back as soon as possible. Why are you asking this?"

Hearing that Ying Zheng would be leaving soon, Huo Ling'er looked even more dejected.

Seeing her like this, Kong Xuan felt sorry for her and comforted her:

"What are you doing? Although Ying Zheng will be back soon, I'm still here with you hunting monsters. Don't worry!"

Huo Ling'er nodded to Kong Xuan after hearing his words.

"Shall we have a drink? We haven't had a drink together since you arrived."

Huo Ling'er said to Kong Xuan.

Kong Xuan was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly took out his wine cup, filling it with fiery liquor.

……

Just as Ying Zheng and Kong Xuan were drinking and making merry in the land of blazing flames, Houtu received a message from the remnant soul of Pangu and immediately rushed to Pangu's heart.

Upon entering the Pangu Palace, Houtu, seeing the remnant soul of Pangu, respectfully asked:

"Father God, why have you called me here?"

Pangu's remnant soul, with its back to Houtu, slowly spoke:
"I have found a way to deal with Ying Zheng. Moreover, my resurrection will be carried out soon. At that time, I will no longer need to fear Ying Zheng."

Upon hearing that Pangu had found a way to deal with Ying Zheng, Houtu hurriedly asked:

"Father God, what is the method you mentioned? Can it truly withstand Ying Zheng?"

Pangu turned around, nodded to her, and then said:

"Now go and find out the current situation of Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou so that I can make further plans."

When Houtu heard that Pangu had asked her to inquire about the Demon Ancestor Rahu and the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, she was puzzled and couldn't help but ask:

"Father God, I would like to ask, why did you send me to investigate those two?"

"What you should know, I will tell you. What you shouldn't know, it's best not to ask. Just do as I say."

Pangu said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Houtu bowed to Pangu, then withdrew from Pangu's heart and returned to her own Dao Palace.

"I really don't understand, what's the point of Father God sending me to investigate the whereabouts of Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou..."

Houtu sighed softly and then set off for the Dao Ancestor Hongjun's Dao Palace.

Before long, Houtu arrived outside the Daoist residence of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

She took out the Kaiyuan Pearl and directly broke through the restrictions outside the Dao Ancestor Hongjun's Dao Mansion, quietly sneaking inside.

This Kaiyuan Pearl can not only detect the tracks of others, but also conceal one's own whereabouts.

Using the Kaiyuan Pearl, Houtu arrived directly outside the residence of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, completely concealing her aura.

She looked towards the residence of Dao Ancestor Hongjun and saw him lying sprawled on the bed—clearly, he had drunk too much.

Upon seeing this, Houtu immediately left the Daoist residence of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Next, she used the Kaiyuan Pearl to infiltrate the Dao Palace of the Demon Ancestor Rahu.

It was also discovered that the Demon Ancestor Rahu was in a deep sleep.

Presumably, after defeating Pangu, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Demon Ancestor Luohou, and Yangmei Ancestor drank celebratory wine and became completely unconscious.

After recording this scene, Houtu left the Daoist abode of the Demon Ancestor Rahu and returned to the Witch Clan.

Upon returning to the Wu tribe, Houtu once again entered the Pangu Palace and arrived before Pangu's heart, where she encountered Pangu's remnant soul. Pangu, seeing Houtu's return, asked with a puzzled expression:

"Didn't I tell you to go and investigate their situation? What are you doing here again?"

Houtu sensed the questioning tone in Pangu's voice, lowered her head, and respectfully replied:
“Father God, I have completed the task you gave me. I have come to report to you.”

When Pangu heard Houtu say that the task he had assigned had been completed, his face was filled with disbelief.

"If you dare to deceive me again, I have plenty of ways to make you lose all your cultivation. Still won't tell me the truth?"

The remnant soul of Pangu stared at Houtu with a stern face and a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, Houtu hurriedly and nervously explained:

“Father God, I really didn’t lie to you! I did go to Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou just now. They were both drunk and are sleeping now!”

When Pangu's remnant soul heard Houtu say this, it chose to believe her—after all, Houtu had no reason to lie to it.

"You mean they both fell asleep after drinking? Are you sure you didn't misread it?"

Pangu pressed on with a serious expression.

Houtu answered with absolute certainty:
“Father God, I saw it clearly! I was there for quite a while. After they finished drinking, they went straight to bed and fell asleep.”

Houtu was afraid that Pangu wouldn't believe her, so she specially recorded the appearances of Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou.

After saying that, she took out the video she had just saved and handed it to Pangu.

Pangu took the picture and opened it. As Houtu had said, Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou were fast asleep in the picture.

After confirming that everything was correct, Pangu burst into laughter.

"Truly, heaven is on my side! The timing was perfect! Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou have really done me a great favor!"

Houtu looked puzzled when she heard this.

"Father God, didn't Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou previously fight against you alongside Ying Zheng? How could they possibly be of help to you?"

The remnant soul of Pangu looked at Houtu, recalled the past, and slowly said:

"In fact, Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou have always been pawns I planted, but I have never used them."

"Now that I want to make a comeback, I need the two of them. Otherwise, this great cause of resurrection will probably be delayed for a long time."

Houtu was overjoyed to hear that Pangu was about to be resurrected.

"Father God is truly farsighted, thinking so thoroughly; he is truly unprecedented and unparalleled!"

Pangu's smile deepened upon hearing Houtu's praise. However, he still offered a word of caution:
"But we still need to be wary of Ying Zheng, lest all our efforts be in vain. You can now go and prepare for the resurrection."

Houtu bowed to Pangu and then left Pangu's heart.

After leaving Pangu's heart, Houtu went to the hall and summoned the remaining eleven ancestral witches.

The other ancestral witches, upon receiving Houtu's summons, all rushed to the main hall.

Before long, all eleven ancestral witches had arrived.

"What is the purpose of summoning us here today, Ancestral Witch Houtu?" asked Ancestral Witch Xuanming.

She asked the same question that the other ten ancestral witches wanted to know.

“I have called you here today because the Father’s resurrection work will soon begin. Now all you need to do is prepare everything and wait for the Father’s command.”

After listening to Houtu's words, everyone nodded and began to adjust their state to bring their strength to its peak.

At this moment, the remnant soul of Pangu within Pangu's heart was sitting cross-legged, his hands constantly forming strange hand seals.

"The fact that I didn't let you be exposed back then has finally come in handy today. It's truly a stroke of luck!"

In a way, Ying Zheng was once a pawn of Pangu, but now that pawn has become the one wielding the pieces, which makes Pangu quite dissatisfied.

However, this has little impact on Pangu's plan—after all, there are still two hidden pieces that Ying Zheng has not yet discovered.

In fact, long ago, before Pangu was revived, Ying Zheng already knew about the existence of these two chess pieces.

However, due to the passage of time, Ying Zheng may have already forgotten, which gave Pangu an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Pangu continuously activated his magic in an attempt to activate the marks buried within the bodies of Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou.

Logically speaking, the remaining strength of Pangu's remnant soul was simply insufficient to control Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou.

But Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou themselves gave Pangu this opportunity.

They were resting at the moment, and having just finished drinking, they were completely unsuspecting of the outside world.

That's why Pangu thought of taking this opportunity to control them and use them for his own purposes—something he couldn't have done under normal circumstances.

As Pangu's hand seals became faster and faster, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the Demon Ancestor Luohou, who were far away in their respective Dao Palaces, began to experience strange phenomena in their bodies.

The marks buried deep within them began to stir, constantly emitting fluctuations of Dao power that eroded their original strength.

Under Pangu's control, and with the two completely unprepared, the two marks easily subdued them.

Pangu breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou were under his control.

"If you hadn't delivered yourselves to my doorstep, I wouldn't have been able to control you. You came to me without any effort at all!"

Pangu muttered to himself.

Forcibly controlling the two people just now had already depleted a lot of his Dao power.

Pangu then activated his magic power, continuously absorbing the surrounding blood energy and integrating it into his remnant soul to restore his own strength.

With the help of Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou, Pangu's resurrection became much easier.

However, Pangu did not order them to come to the Wu tribe immediately, but instead commanded them to continue hiding and wait for the crucial moment to make their move.

At this moment, the eyes of Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou became unfocused, but quickly returned to normal.

……

An hour later, Pangu replenished his depleted Dao power and stepped out of Pangu's heart.

He sent a message to Houtu and then waited for everyone to arrive in the Pangu Palace.

Everything is ready now, except for the final push. As long as Ying Zheng doesn't interfere, Pangu's resurrection is just around the corner.

After receiving Pangu's message, Houtu led the other ancestral witches and Pangu's body to the Pangu Palace.

At this moment, the remnant soul of Pangu was sitting upright in the very center of the Pangu Hall.

The other eleven ancestral witches felt somewhat guilty upon seeing the remnant soul of Pangu.

After all, when Houtu asked them to offer sacrifices, they initially disagreed, unwilling to share their power with Pangu.

Now that the remnant soul of Pangu is right before their eyes, they are inevitably nervous, fearing that Pangu will come after them.

Seeing the tense expressions on everyone's faces, the remnant soul of Pangu spoke:
"Why are you so nervous? I'm not going to eat you. Relax."

The remaining eleven ancestral witches were relieved to see that Pangu had no intention of pursuing the matter.

"Father God, we will do whatever you say, without hesitation!" the eleven ancestral witches, excluding Houtu, said in unison.

After Houtu entered the main hall, she placed Pangu's body directly in the center.

"Houtu should have already told you what we need to do later, right? Just do as she says. When I am resurrected, I will definitely increase your strength."

The remnant soul of Pangu stood up and addressed the eleven ancestral witches before him.

Upon hearing this, the eleven ancestral witches all found their places and stood in their positions.

Houtu nodded to the remnant soul of Pangu, then walked to the empty spot.

Pangu was still uneasy, so he secretly informed Zu Hongjun and Mo Zu Luohou to guard outside the Wu tribe in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

Having done all this, Pangu came before his own body. (End of Chapter)
