Honghuang: Starting from the Enlightenment of the Great Emperor Dongyue

Chapter 35: The Intentions of the Ancestral Witch (Please read on, thank you~)

Gong Gong had just broken free from Zhu Jiuyin's time constraints when he heard his last few words. He pushed aside the earth wall in front of him and shouted, "How can this be! We, the Wu clan, are descendants of the father god Pangu. How can we be inferior to others!"

Zhu Jiuyin glanced at the rough man and snorted coldly, "When did I ever say I wanted to join his way? I just said that we could cooperate with him for mutual benefit."

"Cooperation?" Gonggong was stunned for a moment and scratched his head, as if he had not yet reacted.

"Yes, it's cooperation." Zhu Jiuyin had to explain patiently, "Emperor Tai showed goodwill to Hou Tu before. Perhaps he sincerely felt that she was suitable for the Shinto lineage, but more likely, he wanted to test whether our Wu clan was willing to cooperate with him."

"If Shinto wants to truly control the primordial world and rule the Way of Heaven, it must have enough gods to control the laws of heaven and earth and perfect the order of heaven and earth. At the same time, it must have absolute power to suppress the world, so that no one dares to resist or even raise any objections."

"To put it bluntly, the current Shinto is more ambitious than the three tribes back then. If they want to rule on behalf of Heaven, the obstacles they will encounter will be so huge that they cannot be imagined, unless they truly have the power to suppress all the races in the heavens."

"But the problem is that the number of gods is still too small compared to the myriad races of the prehistoric world. It's pitifully small. They have to fight against the mysterious forces behind the myriad races, suppress their resistance, and also devote their energy to perfecting the Shinto system and consolidating Shinto rule. It's really stretched to the limit."

Zhu Jiuyin said meaningfully: "So, they need allies and helpers to help them share the pressure."

"As the new darlings of heaven and earth, descendants of Father God Pangu, we are born with great power and potential. At the same time, our goal is to reach the pinnacle of all races, become the ruler of the great wilderness, and rule over all races. To reach the pinnacle and achieve supreme hegemony, we must subdue all races one by one."

"But now, the myriad races of the prehistoric world are being secretly pushed to unify. For our Wu clan, a single race is not a problem, but unifying all the races is also a thorny issue. At the same time, there are those behind the scenes pushing this issue, which makes it even more difficult."

"In that case, the enemy of my enemy can become my friend." Zhu Jiuyin smiled. "We can cooperate with the Shinto sect to contain each other's overstretched forces, use each other, and support each other. This way, it will benefit both of us and we can all profit from it."

After Zhu Jiuyin finished speaking, Dijiang, Houtu and others were suddenly enlightened.

Zhu Jiuyin quietly concealed the deep worry in his eyes.

How will the Wu Clan and Shinto get along in the end...

"Second brother, what you said makes sense." Di Jiang nodded in agreement. "Now, or in the future, our Wu clan does need a powerful ally to face future challenges together."

"But, big brother, do we really have to trust Ditai?" Shebishi asked with a frown. "After all, he is a Shintoist, not like us Wu people. Who knows what he is thinking?"

"Yeah, brother, what if he just wants to use us?" Qiang Liang also said worriedly.

"Are you worried about the strength of our Wu clan?" Di Jiang asked softly, looking around, and everyone shut up tacitly.

"Alright, it's settled!" Di Jiang interrupted everyone's discussion. He looked at Zhu Jiuyin and Hou Tu and said solemnly, "Second brother, little sister, you two will be responsible for contacting Emperor Di Tai on this matter. Remember, the interests of our Wu clan are paramount. We must also make preparations early, just in case!"

"Yes, big brother!" Zhu Jiuyin and Houtu bowed and accepted the order.

"Okay, let's all go!" Di Jiang waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave.

Seeing this, the ancestor witches stopped talking and stood up to say goodbye.

Thousands of miles away, a towering mountain reaches into the sky. Above the peak, clouds and mist are swirling, and the air is filled with fairy air.

Nuwa sat upright on the cloud bed of creation, with divine light flowing around her, illuminating the surroundings with holiness.

At this moment, her beautiful eyes were slightly closed, and the aura around her became more and more mysterious. The energy of creation behind her transformed into countless forms, from dragons, phoenixes, and unicorns to the current witch clan.

Suddenly, her brows furrowed, as she encountered a bottleneck.

"The great god Pangu created the heavens and the earth, evolving the primordial world. However, before he could perfect the two paths of heaven and earth, he ran out of energy and was forced to transform himself into all things to evolve the heavens and the earth. However, this was ultimately incomplete. Worse still, the path of humanity, one of the three elements, was never born."

A gentle voice sounded beside her ears. Nuwa slowly opened her eyes and turned her head to look. She saw Di Tai standing not far away, waving his arms slowly. Behind him seemed to be a towering figure who swung the axe that created the world.

"When the world was first created, the calamity of creation had not yet dissipated, and the calamity energy was pervasive, giving birth to countless evil spirits. When these evil spirits gathered together, they gave birth to those primitive beasts that knew only to kill."

"They possessed the power of the origin, but lacked any intelligence. Acting entirely on instinct, they destroyed the nascent world and left it in ruins."

"Perhaps it was due to the natural instinct of heaven and earth to repair itself. Using the ferocious beasts as a reference, heaven and earth created beings that could rival them. These were the three ancient tribes—the dragon, the phoenix, and the qilin."

Nuwa listened quietly, and a series of images emerged in her mind: ferocious beasts wreaking havoc, the world crumbling, the three tribes rising up and engaging in a desperate battle with the ferocious beasts...

"As time went on, the laws of heaven and earth gradually became more complete, the three races flourished, and humanity emerged."

"The newly born three paths of heaven, earth, and man instinctively wanted to perfect this world. Thus, three ancient masters were born: the Three Great Emperors of Heaven, Earth, and Water. They wanted to use the three tribes of dragon, phoenix, and water as their foundation to divide the affairs of the three realms of heaven, earth, and water and make up for the imperfections of this world."

At this point, Di Tai's tone was filled with a bit of sighing: "It's a pity that you and I both know the ending. Heaven and earth still underestimated the complexity of human hearts. What's more, the original three paths of heaven, earth and man were so simple, and the three tribes were created by imitating ferocious beasts, so their bestial natures are difficult to tame."

"Even though they possess intelligence, they still follow the animalistic instinct of the survival of the fittest, and have no concept of 'heaven and earth' at all."

"As the three tribes developed, their ambitions and desires also expanded. They attempted to unify the world and compete for the position of supreme humanity. This ultimately triggered the war that swept across the ancient world and led to the decline of the three tribes."

"Of course, the Daoist and Demonic sects also fanned the flames, hoping to reap the good fortune of humanity."

Nuwa's mind raced as she suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. This also forces Heaven and Earth to use their backup plan and trigger the Great Calamity."

Then he sighed again, "If you disregard the existence of heaven and earth for your own desires, then it would be better for you not to exist!"
