Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Even if you want to express your reverence for the god Pangu, there are many other ways. Why choose the most foolish approach?
Back then, their witch clan was indeed too ignorant, and it was inevitable that they would be eliminated by the times. However, that was in the past, and that won't happen now.

Having learned from this lesson, the Wu Clan has made changes and, relying on the Pangu Temple, is bound to reach a new peak.

"Fellow Daoist, this isn't the first time we've worked together. Let's skip the pleasantries and get straight to the point."

“I know the Witch Clan lives here and has taken advantage of you greatly. But I cannot allow the Witch Clan to move away.”

"Therefore, I have decided to make amends to you by granting you the right to share the Pangu Temple."

Houtu Niangniang got straight to the point. She was too lazy to argue with Ao Bing and directly showed her utmost sincerity by agreeing to jointly develop the Pangu Temple.

This is the foundation of the Wu Clan, and the greatest sincerity they can offer. If Ao Bing is still not satisfied, then there's nothing more to discuss. Because the Wu Clan has nothing more to offer.

"Sharing the Pangu Temple?"

Ao Bing neither refused nor agreed. The Pangu Temple was indeed very powerful, but to be honest, it was somewhat of a liability to him.

This chaotic world, formed from Pangu's sea of ​​consciousness, contains endless chaotic energy and many mysteries.

If it were the old Ao Bing, upon hearing that Houtu Niangniang was willing to share this place with him, he would definitely have agreed without hesitation.

But not now, because he has no shortage of resources. Both the Lesser Primordial Wilderness and the Zhou Tian Starry Sky provide far more resources than the Pangu Temple.

Therefore, for him, one more Pangu Temple wouldn't make a difference, and one less wouldn't make a difference either. Under these circumstances, no matter how sincere the Wu Clan's offer was, he would find it difficult to be moved.

"Fellow Daoist, don't rush to make a decision. Take a look inside the Pangu Temple first, and then make a decision."

Knowing what Ao Bing was thinking, Houtu smiled slightly and invited him to go deep into the Pangu Temple.

"it is good!"

Upon hearing this, Ao Bing agreed.

He knew the main event was about to begin; deep within the Pangu Temple lay some great secret. And this secret was the source of Houtu Niangniang's confidence that he wouldn't refuse.

For Houtu Niangniang to be so confident, the secret must be extremely astonishing. Thinking of this, Ao Bing was genuinely curious and wanted to see for himself.

The world was in chaos, filled with primordial energy. The two walked for an unknown amount of time, but the scenery before them remained unchanged, as if they had been standing still.

At a certain moment, Ao Bing suddenly heard a faint heartbeat.

The heartbeat was slow and weak, but each beat brought Ao Bing unspeakable pressure, causing his heart to clench tightly as if it were about to burst.

"This……"

Ao Bing couldn't hide his shock. He roughly knew what Hou Tu Niangniang was going to take him to see: the only thing left behind by the physical body of the Great God Pangu, the Heart of Pangu!

The goddess Houtu was going to take him to see, and it turned out to be the most precious treasure of the primordial world, the Heart of Pangu.

With Ao Bing's current strength, even the distant sound of a heartbeat made him feel extremely uncomfortable, as if his heart was about to burst.

In the entire primordial world, besides the Heart of Pangu, what other treasures possess such power?
This is a sacred object of the Wu tribe, and also a sacred object of the primordial era. Legend has it that when the great god Pangu transformed into all things, only his heart remained, and it has been enshrined in the Pangu Temple ever since.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches are called the sons of Pangu not only because they were transformed from the essence and blood of the great god Pangu, but also because the mother body that nurtured them was the heart of Pangu.

The ancestral witches of the witch clan, as well as the primordial great witches, were all directly conceived from the heart of Pangu.

The difference is that the Ancestral Witches are formed from essence and blood, while the Primordial Great Witches are formed from ordinary blood. Therefore, the Ancestral Witches hold the most exalted status, followed by the Great Witches.

"The Heart of Pangu?"

Ao Bing was intrigued. Only now did he understand what Houtu Niangniang meant by the shared Pangu Temple.

The Pangu Temple is just a facade; the real focus is the Pangu Heart enshrined deep within the temple.

The Wu tribe has indeed changed; they're even willing to share the Heart of Pangu with others. It can only be said that if the Wu tribe doesn't prosper, who will? Faced with such temptation, even Ao Bing couldn't resist.

The closer Ao Bing got to Pangu's heart, the louder the heartbeat he heard became. However, although the sound was louder, the feeling of weakness never diminished.

The state of Pangu's Heart is not quite right; it is far from its peak. Perhaps this is what forced Houtu Niangniang to make a change and cooperate with him.

The Wu tribe's abilities were clearly insufficient to restore Pangu's Heart. Therefore, Houtu Niangniang had no choice but to seek external assistance.

In the primordial world today, the most powerful person is none other than Ao Bing. Coincidentally, the Wu Clan needs his help again but cannot offer the appropriate reward.

In this situation, Houtu Niangniang hardened her heart and simply took out the Pangu Heart, a sacred artifact of the Wu tribe, to make a deal.

……

Close, close, getting closer.

Suddenly, Ao Bing's vision changed, and endless purple energy surged, filling his eyes. And deep within this purple energy, a colossal statue of Pangu stood tall.

The statue's appearance is quite common, but what's unusual is its chest, which has been hollowed out, revealing a large hole. A heart lies there, beating slightly.

This is the Heart of Pangu, a sacred object from the primordial era, and the origin of the Wu tribe.

He looked ordinary, not as sacred as Ao Bing had imagined, with endless wondrous phenomena and the laws of the Great Dao surrounding him.

But this was only what it appeared to be. In reality, Ao Bing only sensed boundless majesty and vast divine power.

The moment he made contact, he felt suffocated and had to withdraw his divine sense to avoid being injured.

"Is this the heart of Pangu? Something seems amiss with Him."

After a long silence, Ao Bing spoke.

It can be said that he was the first outsider, besides the Wu tribe, to see the Heart of Pangu. Many people knew that the Heart of Pangu was with the Wu tribe and wanted to come and pay homage. But unfortunately, none of them had the chance to see it.

The Wu tribe has never taken the Heart of Pangu out of the Pangu Temple; it is too precious. If it remains in the Pangu Temple, no matter how much outsiders desire it, they will have no way to obtain it.

But once He leaves the Pangu Temple, even the Wu Clan doesn't know how many people will come to seize him. No matter how arrogant the Ancestral Witches are, they don't believe they can stand against the entire prehistoric world.

Therefore, to prevent the heart of Pangu from being stolen, they never showed it to others.

“Since the fall of his brothers, the heart of the Father God has grown weaker and weaker. In fact, it was much weaker in his early years, and it had even stopped beating altogether.”

"I paid a heavy price, even delaying the plan to resurrect my brothers, just to restore its beating," said Houtu, the Goddess of the Earth, looking at the Heart of Pangu before her, with a touch of sadness. While resurrecting the Ancestral Witches was important, restoring the Heart of Pangu was undoubtedly even more crucial.

This also explains why, after so many years, none of the ancestral witches, including Houtu Niangniang, have been resurrected.

This is illogical, as Houtu Niangniang (Goddess Houtu) possesses the entire Netherworld and controls reincarnation. While resurrecting all the fallen Ancestral Witches would be difficult, resurrecting just one or two wouldn't be challenging.

It's unacceptable that things have come to this point without any results, which might give the impression that Houtu Niangniang is just making empty promises and actually doing nothing.

Now Ao Bing understood everything. It wasn't that Houtu Niangniang wasn't working hard or was just slacking off; rather, all her efforts were focused on restoring Pangu's Heart, which delayed her grand plan to resurrect the Ancestral Witches.

No, it's not a delay; the two are happening in parallel.

Ao Bing seemed to have discovered something, and couldn't help but stare at the Heart of Pangu, observing it carefully.

Then he discovered that deep within the heart of Pangu, there were twelve special primordial energies, vast and majestic, supremely divine and holy.

"Is the Goddess Houtu going to re-conceive the Twelve Ancestral Witches?"

Ao Bing was greatly alarmed, realizing that Houtu Niangniang's plan was not only to restore Pangu's Heart, but also to resurrect the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

Moreover, her method of reviving the Twelve Ancestral Witches was not simply to bring them back from their dead state, but to have the Heart of Pangu re-nurture them.

This is like a rebirth for them. Therefore, after their rebirth, they will be even stronger than before their fall. Upon resurrection, they will possess the cultivation of a Primordial Golden Immortal, reaching a realm they never reached in their previous lives.

Yes, it's the Twelve Ancestral Witches, not the Nine Great Ancestral Witches. If we exclude Houtu, only nine Ancestral Witches actually perished; Xuanming and Gonggong are still alive.

However, this does not prevent Houtu Niangniang from using Pangu's Heart to re-conceive the Twelve Ancestral Witches. The fallen Ancestral Witches are resurrected through this, and the living Ancestral Witches are transformed through this; it's all the same.

It must be said that Houtu Niangniang's plan was excellent. However, she underestimated the difficulty of restoring Pangu's Heart. As a result, even now, Pangu's Heart has not been restored to its peak.

None of them recovered to their peak, let alone re-emerged the twelve Ancestral Witches. Therefore, to this day, none of the fallen Ancestral Witches have been resurrected.

"The Great Formation of the Twelve Capital Gods!"

Ao Bing also discovered that traces of the Twelve Capital Gods and Demons Formation existed around the heart of Pangu.

"The remains of the Ancestral Witch and the Great Witch, as well as the twelve tribes of the Witch Clan."

The Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation was set up using the remains of the ancient Ancestral Witch and the Primordial Great Witch, with them serving as the core of the formation to operate the power of the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons.

Then, with the assistance of the twelve tribes of the Witch Clan, the power of the great formation was further enhanced.

The twelve tribes of the Witch Clan are direct descendants of the twelve Ancestral Witches, sharing the same origin of power. They, in conjunction with the remains of the Ancestral Witches, set up the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, whose power is comparable to the resurrection of the Ancestral Witches.

No, it should be said that it's even stronger!
In the past, even with the combined strength of twelve tribes, the strongest they could only rival the Ancestral Witch.

But things are different now. The cultivation system has been changed by Ao Bing, and starting with the Taiyi Golden Immortals, they have become much more powerful.

Therefore, the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation they set up was more powerful than the one set up by the Ancestral Witches.

As a result, the heart of Pangu was further revived, giving birth to twelve special primordial energies.

Otherwise, the Heart of Pangu would be lucky to provide Pangu's blood, and would be powerless to nurture the primordial energy.

"The Witch Clan has quite a few powerful individuals!"

Although it was only a brief glimpse, Ao Bing was still amazed by the hidden strength of the Witch Clan. While not as powerful as the Human Clan, they far surpassed them.

There are twenty-four top-tier great witches, one hundred and eight great witches, three thousand mythical Taiyi, and countless Golden Immortals.

In the past, only those who cultivated to the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal could be called a Great Witch. The "Great" in Great Witch represents the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Currently, only those who cultivate to the level of a Mythical Great Luo can be called Great Witches. Top-tier Great Witches are those who surpass Great Luo and step into the Quasi-Saint realm.

There are twenty-four top-level shamans and one hundred and eight great shamans. This means that the shaman clan has twenty-four quasi-saints and one hundred and eight mythical great shamans.

This strength is so great that even the dragon race cannot contend with it. Even the demon race is somewhat inferior.

After all, the demon race only has ten quasi-saints, while the witch race has twenty-four. As for the dragon race, there are only five.

Twenty-four Quasi-Saints would require the combined efforts of the three innate races to gather.

"No matter how strong the Wu Clan is, they cannot leave the Pangu Temple. Once they leave, they will inevitably suffer a backlash from heaven and earth, and it will be difficult for them to advance again."

Houtu sighed, "No matter how strong the hidden strength of the Wu Clan is, it was useless before, because they can't leave the Pangu Temple."

But as I said, that was before. It doesn't matter now, because both the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan have been exonerated.

When the primordial world was destroyed and then rebuilt, the Eastern Emperor and the Goddess Houtu took the opportunity to forcibly tamper with history, pushing all the blame for the destruction of the primordial world onto the Chaos Demon God.

As a result, the Chaos God, who already had no way to cleanse himself, became even more so, while the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan, who originally bore the immense karma of destroying the world, became clean as a result.

From this point on, you can leave the past behind and start anew. Even if you leave the Pangu Temple, you will not be affected in any way.

However, even if they could leave, the Wu tribe probably wouldn't leave on a large scale.

Because they need to stay here to maintain the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, it doesn't matter if some people leave, but if a large number of people leave, the power of the formation will definitely be greatly reduced.

At that time, the Pangu Heart, which had only managed to recover somewhat, would inevitably weaken again.

“The heart of the Father God is closely related to the twelve Ancestral Witches. In fact, the heart of the Father God had already stopped beating when we were born.”

"It was only after we comprehended the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation that it was able to revive and continue to produce the blood of the Father God."

"This is how the original Wu tribe was born. We set up the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation to encourage the Father God's heart to continue producing divine blood, and then used this divine blood to create the Wu tribe."

"But later, as I reincarnated, the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation became flawed, and the Father God's heart could no longer produce divine blood."

“Even if someone else fills in later, it will be useless. Without my participation, the heart of the Father God can only generate some blood energy, which is far less effective than divine blood and is not enough to rebuild the witch race.”

"Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Nuwa had already attained enlightenment at that time, enabling all races to reproduce and thrive through the union of Yin and Yang, which saved the Wu race from extinction."

“Otherwise, without the heart of the Father God to produce divine blood, my witch clan will have no newborns, and extinction will be only a matter of time.”

Seeing Ao Bing's curiosity, Houtu explained to him the significance of Pangu's Heart to the Wu tribe. (End of Chapter)
