Honghuang: The Golden Crow Emperor, starts by robbing the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 813 Bai Ze Visits the Witch Clan
"We must have the Heavenly Demon Heart; it concerns the future of the demon race."

"What we need to think about now is how to minimize the sacrifices of the demon race."

"It can be understood as how to obtain the Heavenly Demon Heart with the least sacrifice."

“Our greatest enemy has always been the Witch Clan. Let’s agree to Maitreya’s request first. I will represent the Demon Clan to talk to the Witch Clan.”

Bai Ze's gaze was deep.

"What if you go to talk to the witch clan and they take the opportunity to attack you?"

Shang Yang frowned. Right now, the demon race is relying entirely on these few old folks. Sacrificing even one of them would severely damage the demon race's vitality.

"No, the pride of the Witch Clan will not allow them to do such a thing."

"Moreover, Ji Meng and I have some connection with the Three Golden Crow Saints. Even if the Wu Clan doesn't respect the monks, they still have to respect the Buddha."

Bai Ze shook his head confidently.

"Alright, let's do as the Demon Master says."

Fuxi nodded; he had no other choice.

Fuxi went to inform Maitreya, while Bai Ze transformed into a stream of light and headed east to visit Chi You in the Ghost Realm of Fengdu.

The twelve ancestral witches went into seclusion, and the witch clan was led by the seven great witches. Among the seven great witches, only Chi You was not so irritable and was able to negotiate.

"You dare to come to the Ghost Realm of Fengdu alone? Aren't you afraid I'll make you stay here forever?"

Chi You looked at Bai Ze with amusement.

"The pride of the Witch Clan will not allow you to do this," Bai Ze said with a confident smile.

"Ha, you do know my Wu tribe quite well," Chi You chuckled.

“The people who know you best are often your enemies. Don’t you also know my demon race best?” Bai Ze laughed.

"Of all the demon race, only you and Fuxi are worthy of my Wu clan's approval. So, tell me, what brings you here?"

Chi You's attitude softened somewhat.

"The Demon Clan has revealed a major trump card, or more precisely, the Three Golden Crow Saints have given the Demon Clan a powerful weapon. The three religions were no match for them, and the Dao Ancestor allowed my Demon Clan to enter the fray," Bai Ze said.

"That's great! The demon race helps the three religions, and my witch race helps the demon race. Let's settle the score from the great calamity of the witch and demon race back then." Chi You shrugged.

“Without a sage appearing, our two clans are roughly equal in strength. If we fight, there will only be one outcome: mutual destruction. Why bother?” Bai Ze shook his head.

"Almost? Not necessarily. Don't forget, my Wu clan still has two avatars of the Ancestral Witch Houtu—Meng Po and the Goddess Pingxin. What can your demon clan use to fight against my Wu clan?" Chi You said disdainfully.

“But Lady Pingxin needs to suppress reincarnation and cannot leave the underworld. My demon race can set up an array, but your number of sub-saints is insufficient to set up the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Array.”

“Your witch clan has one more quasi-saint, while my demon clan can set up a grand formation. In the end, we are still evenly matched.”

Bai Ze smiled.

"Then what do you mean?"

Chi You frowned.

"What I mean is that our two clans are mutually restraining each other, going through the motions but not putting in the effort. Let them fight it out. Both of our clans are already severely weakened, so why make things difficult for each other?"

Bai Ze revealed his intentions.

"Impossible. The next great calamity will be the great calamity of the demonic path. Your demon race is rising. If we don't cripple your demon race now, how will my witch race survive?"

Chi You's tone became sharp, and his attitude became very resolute.

"No, the primordial world is no longer something we can control, or even something that a great calamity can control."

"The Three Golden Crow Saints and the Dao Ancestor fought to determine the victor in the Great Tribulation of the Demonic Path. The Three Golden Crow Saints wanted to help the Demonic Path rise and restrain the Heavenly Dao."

"The Dao Ancestor will try to stop the rise of the demonic path and prevent the Heavenly Dao from being controlled, and they will eventually fight each other."

"We can't control anything. The final outcome is in the hands of the Dao Ancestor and the Three Golden Crow Saints." "If the Dao Ancestor wins in the end, and it's not the Demon Clan's turn, then the Witch Clan will have no way to survive."

"If the Three Golden Crow Saints ultimately win, how could they allow the demon race to attack the witch race? Moreover, the demon calamity would not be aimed at the witch race, so there is absolutely no possibility of a second witch-demon war."

"Moreover, the great calamity is irreversible. Our two races are currently fighting to the death. When the great calamity of the demon path descends, the demon race will still rise as it should."

"You should know that I am a naturally auspicious beast, and I can see some secrets of heaven that others cannot."

"The protagonist of the Great Calamity of the Demonic Path is not the current demon race, but comes from outside the primordial world."

As Bai Ze spoke, he pointed to the chaos beyond the heavens.

The primordial world existed in chaos, surrounded by chaos, but its outer shell was the Chaos Pearl.

During the War of Creation, the Chaos Pearl was also damaged, and the damaged area corresponds to the outer chaos.

Therefore, other places in the primordial world are protected by the Chaos Pearl, and only the outer chaos can be entered and exited.

This is also why the Dao Ancestor set up his Daoist temple in the primordial chaos beyond the heavens, so that he could detect any invasions from external enemies immediately.

"From beyond the primordial wilderness, you mean chaos? How is that possible?" Chi You's pupils contracted.

"Nothing is impossible. Don't forget that there are three thousand worlds in the chaos, not just the primordial world."

"The primordial world is the center of chaos and the ancestral land of the three thousand worlds."

“Your Wu clan was born from the essence and blood of the great god Pangu, making you unique. But the demon clan is not. The demon clan is born of nature and will surely exist in other worlds as well.”

"Those powerful Chaos Gods did not die. They will rule over the beings of other worlds and seize their destiny. They might even come to the Primordial World one day."

Bai Ze explained.

"I can't make this decision. You wait here while I go back to the underworld to ask for instructions."

Chi You frowned and pondered for a moment before transforming into a rainbow and departing.

Upon returning to the underworld, Chi You visited the Twelve Ancestral Witches and recounted the events.

"Go and ask the Sage Lingxiao, and do as he says," Houtu said.

The other Ancestral Witches had no objections. They had complete trust in Lingxiao. Without Lingxiao, the Witch Clan would have perished long ago, and they would not have become saints. Except for Houtu, they would all have died.

Moreover, they are all descendants of the Father God, and they all believe in Lingxiao.

They admit they're not very bright, but Ling Xiao is, so they just listen to him.

Long after the Lich Wars, they regarded the Three Golden Crows as their own brothers.

Chi You didn't think there was anything wrong with listening to Ling Xiao, so he went to Penglai Immortal Mountain to visit Ling Xiao and told him what Bai Ze had said.

"From chaos, could it be that celestial demon?"

"But how could Pangu guarantee that the Heavenly Demons would find the Primordial World?"

Ling Xiao and the others all frowned.

"I have a bold idea." The Lord of Deception began to indulge in his wildest thoughts again.

"Tell me about it." Everyone looked at the Lord of the Deceptive Path. This guy's ideas were always very bold, but his knowledge was also the greatest, after all, he was the only one who had been outside of Chaos.

"Think about it. According to our theory, the World Tree bears three thousand fruits, each containing three thousand chaotic elements. Eventually, when the fruits ripen and fall, the three thousand chaotic elements merge to form the Primordial World."

"Then, is it possible that the current primordial world is not complete, and that the fusion of three thousand worlds is the true primordial world?"

"What triggers the fusion mechanism is the Great Tribulation. There are nine Great Tribulations in the Primordial World. After several are completed, the mechanism will be triggered, which will guide other worlds to approach the Primordial World through the Great Dao, and eventually merge into the Primordial World."

"The world closest to the primordial world is the world dominated by the laws of demons, which is why Pangu was able to ensure the progress of the demonic calamity."

The Lord of Deception revealed his bold conjecture.
