I start by marrying Yunxiao, who's in a vegetative state; I'm invincible in the primor

During the Lich War.

Houtu transformed into the six realms of reincarnation.

It should be noted that the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation requires the combined efforts of the twelve Ancestral Witches to set it up.

At the most critical moment, Houtu abandoned the Wu tribe!

The eleven ancestral witches, including Dijiang, angrily cursed, "Houtu is no longer a witch!"

In the minds of the Wu tribe at that time, Houtu was a traitor!

They betrayed the Witch Clan!

It was because of Houtu's "betrayal" that the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation could not unleash its true power and could not defeat the Zhou Tian Star Formation of the demon race.

This led to the decline and demise of the Wu tribe.

When Li Yu saw Houtu this time, she was even more beautiful than before. To describe her in one word, she was stunning!

The power of the earth, the power of the Great Dao Sage (not a realm), nourishes people.

However, Houtu's brows remained furrowed, as if she were carrying even more pressure.

Pressure doesn't lie!

So Li Yu countered, "When have I ever let you down?"

"It's destined that the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation will clash evenly with the Celestial Star Formation!"

"The demise of the Lich and Demon races was inevitable!"

"The current situation isn't necessarily bad."

"At least the Witch Clan still has the Netherworld to dwell in."

Fengdu, the Ten Kings of Hell, and the Underworld Gods and Generals were mostly originally from the Wu clan...

By working in the netherworld, one can accumulate merit.

"I'll say it again: when will the battle between dragon and tiger ever end?"

"What about the demon race?"

The declining demon race, facing the vengeful flames of the human race, faced even greater extinction!

The Chan Sect must also call for the destruction of the demon race!

Even though the demon race hid in remote and desolate places, it was no use; even the Demon Emperor's Palace was gone.

The demon prince Lu Ya is now hiding somewhere, barely clinging to life!

It could even be said that the demon race is doomed!

Houtu's beautiful eyes shone brightly... as if she were someone on the verge of depression, who had been thoroughly comforted by a psychologist!

When Li Yu arrived at Pingxin Palace, his first thought was that he was in prison!

Houtu is in jail!

And Houtu did it on purpose; perhaps only such extreme loneliness and desolation could make Houtu feel better...

Simply put: self-harm to make oneself feel better.

Clearly, Houtu wouldn't masturbate or console herself...

Li Yu paused for a moment, then decided to strike while the iron was hot, "Compared to the Dragon and Han clans, the Wu clan is already overwhelmingly superior."

"The Dragon Clan, Zhulong, is severely injured and unable to recover. He is barely clinging to life. Although he is wealthy throughout the world, he is always someone else's dragon liver feast."

"The Qilin clan is in an even worse state. Mixed-blood Qilins are being ridden by others. Are there any pure-blooded ones left? They've all disappeared."

"The Phoenix Clan is somewhat better off, at least they produced a handsome man named Kong Xuan. Kong Xuan's talent is enough to protect the Phoenix Clan from destruction, but it is difficult to wash away the karma that the Phoenix Clan has accumulated."

Kong Xuan can protect the Phoenix Clan, but it will be difficult for him to lead them to rise again, unless the handsome Kong Xuan becomes a saint.

"Looking at the Wu tribe, they serve as Yin gods in the Netherworld, operating within it, constantly gaining merit and fortune, and eliminating karmic burdens."

"Once the karmic burdens are mostly eliminated, the Witch Clan will definitely be able to live a second life! And rise again!"

"So? Empress Houtu, you've done your best!"

"You've truly done your best for the sake of the Witch Clan!"

Li Yu gave Houtu a good dose of comfort!

Houtu's tightly furrowed brows suddenly relaxed, and her beautiful eyes seemed to sparkle.

Houtu had never received such comfort.

Li Yu's words seemed to infuse the land with a warm current, calming it down.

Just as he said!

As long as the Netherworld exists, the Witch Clan, acting as Yin Gods, can continuously gain merit and fortune by operating within it!

Not only can it completely eliminate the karmic burdens you've accumulated, but it can also continuously bring you considerable merit and good fortune!

The rise of the Witch Clan is only a matter of time.

Houtu nodded in understanding, her brows relaxing.

Li Yu further stated, "This humble Taoist has come today to borrow the Three Lives Stone from Your Majesty."

Houtu pondered for a moment, then asked in return, "When will the struggle between dragons and tigers end? What is the meaning of humanity's struggle against Heaven and against sages?"

Li Yu: "How can that be the same? The endless fighting is because I have a cheat code, and you don't!"

Li Yu remained calm, saying, "To contend with a sage is an endless source of joy!"

"Now that humanity has become the protagonist of the world, it naturally has to bear some pressure!"

"If humanity rises, it will inevitably harbor ulterior motives to challenge the way of Heaven."

Li Yu glanced at Houtu, a hint of meaning in his eyes, and said, "If humanity fails, it's only a matter of time before the Way of Heaven devours the Way of Earth."

"The Netherworld is of great importance. Although it will not be destroyed, the extent to which its merits and fortune will be distributed depends on the degree of erosion."

In other words: helping others is helping others!

In other words: Your Majesty, you don't want to see the Heavenly Way grow too powerful and gradually encroach upon the Earthly Way, do you?

Houtu clearly understood Li Yu's implied meaning, and a smile suddenly appeared on her dignified and generous face.

Fortunately, Fengdu did not see the leader smile here, otherwise they would be shocked for eight hundred years. Since the establishment of the Netherworld, they had never seen a smile on the leader's face...

Fengdu was once a shaman of the Houtu tribe, so he was used to being called the leader.

Seeing Houtu chuckle, Li Yu smiled and explained, "I'm not exaggerating."

"Your Majesty must have seen how Heaven has suppressed our human race."

"If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold!"

Houtu suddenly countered, "After you destroy the Heavenly Dao, will you lead the human race to gradually encroach upon the Earthly Dao?"

There's a saying among humans: "Sitting on the mountain watching the tigers fight, the fisherman benefits from the struggle between the fish and the clam."

Li Yu: "??? Heh, Your Majesty actually has so much confidence in this humble Taoist? You believe this humble Taoist can destroy the Heavenly Dao?"

Houtu did not speak, nor was she sure of Li Yu's trump card, but she had this intuition for no reason!

Even when humanity was as weak as ants, he was able to lead humanity out of dire straits and make humanity stand at the pinnacle of all races in the primordial world!

Under his leadership, humanity flourished! Humanitarian consciousness was also reawakened!

The awakening of humanitarian consciousness is like an infant less than a month old, yet it has to challenge the "adult-like laws of nature." No matter how you look at it, it has no advantage whatsoever!

But Houtu had a gut feeling that he could do it!

Li Yu casually remarked, "The human race is a peace-loving race! We never bully weaker races and always strive for peaceful rise!"

"But some people are deliberately hindering the human race!"

"I will not attack unless attacked; if attacked, I will punish them no matter how far away or how powerful they are!"

Even if humanity is destroyed, we must still tear off a few bites of the enemy's flesh, to make them feel pain, to make them feel suffering!

Houtu stared blankly at Li Yu before her, her beautiful eyes fixed on him...

Deceptive boasts? No, no, no! Houtu only saw soaring ambitions!

Houtu said slowly, "I can borrow the Three Lives Stone, but I want a promise from you."

There is no free lunch in the world.

Li Yu nodded. "What promise?"

Li Yu seemed to think of the legendary archer Yi, who was known for his devoted and obsessive love. "Could it be that Your Majesty wishes for me to rescue the trapped Yi?"

Yi shot down nine golden crows!

Xihe hated Da Yi to the bone!

They used tricks to ambush and deceive Yi!

Da Yi lost everything!

He shouted after her, "Thank goodness we didn't become Daoist partners, otherwise it would have ruined your life!"

Goodbye, Chang'e. Will we ever meet again, Chang'e?

"Chang'e, I hope you'll be happy next time we meet..."

"Chang'e, how can I live without you..." (Chapter 33)

Da Yi charged into battle for love, only to be trapped forever on the Moon, tormented and unable to live or die...

"Rescuing Da Yi shouldn't be too difficult."

Houtu shook her head, "I will arrange for people to rescue Da Yi..."

"What kind of promise was that?"

"I haven't thought of anything yet, but in short, it won't go beyond the scope of minor cause and effect, and I certainly won't put you in any danger."
