I, the primordial ancestor, started out as a useless cult and a useless saint.

Chapter 39 When Order Collapses, the Day the Underground Path Proves Its Path (Please Read On!!)

The Supreme Saint was furious. He finally understood everything. All that had just happened was a trap set by the Tongtian Sect Master and the Ancestor of Humanity. He never expected that he would be so arrogant as to jump right into it.

"Tongtian, the cycle of reincarnation in the six realms is the will of Heaven. We sages should have a share in it. Quickly let go, or we will only suffer a lose-lose situation."

This time, the Supreme Sage was anxious, but how could the Master of Heaven be afraid?

"If we're going to fight to the death, then so be it. Who's afraid of who?"

Even a mere mortal like the Ancestor of Humanity dared to fight to the death, so how could a sage be any less? However, a sage's fight to the death is a gamble on fate. Once that fate is exhausted, all living beings in the heavens will perish, and the sage himself will be burdened with immense karma.

The Sage of Taiqing tried many times, but ultimately could not break free. The Master of Tongtian made sufficient preparations in advance to suppress this person. Unless Hongjun himself came, anyone who came would only be beaten.

"Tongtian, aren't you afraid that the Four Sages will join forces to break your Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation?"

The Sage of Taiqing was truly at his wit's end and could only resort to such coercion, but the Master of Tongtian simply chuckled:

"No, they're probably too busy fighting for the Six Paths of Reincarnation right now."

"What?"

The Supreme Sage was greatly alarmed and looked at Tongtian:

"You dare to scheme against me?"

Tongtian shook his head:

"Brother, you overestimate me. It was the Ancestor of Humanity who plotted against you. He knew you would come, and I only needed to guide you slightly before you took the bait."

Damn it! A million curses ran through the mind of the Supreme Sage Taiqing. He played with eagles all day long, but today he got pecked in the eye.

"Hmph, even so, don't forget there are four other sages whom the Ancestor of Humanity cannot defeat. Tongtian, we can join forces, and you and I can monopolize the Six Paths of Reincarnation, how about that?"

But the Master of Heaven shook his head:

"You won't succeed in the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and I have no interest in possessing it. And what about the Four Saints you mentioned? Heh heh."

The Master of Heaven took a sip of tea and continued:

"Nuwa's great fortune was severed by this saint's sword. She must be burdened by the karma of the human race by now. She dares not come out, otherwise she risks losing her sainthood. As for Yuanshi Tianzun? He is arrogant and insane. Although he is a saint, he is too petty. If he did not possess the primordial spirit of the Father God, how could he have become a saint?"

"As for the two Western Saints, they are simply a joke."

The Sage of Taiqing understood that he was completely cut off from the cycle of reincarnation.

"Master Tongtian, you're ruthless. After this, let's end our friendship here. From now on, we'll inevitably clash and fight each other."

"Perfect, this is exactly what Tongtian has been looking for."

After speaking, the Sage Taiqing closed his eyes and sat down without wavering. However, the Master Tongtian just stood there guarding the place, which made the Sage Taiqing feel really stifled.

The Four Swords of Zhuxian floated up once again, startling the powerful beings of the primordial world. They deployed the Zhuxian Sword Formation twice in a row. What exactly was Tongtian doing?

The saints of the heavens were also shocked when they saw this scene, but they couldn't figure out what it was. However, this was a good thing, because one less person meant one less threat.

However, Hongjun in Zixiao Palace opened his eyes.

"What a pity."

On the primordial land, just as Ye Yang had said, the Ancestral Witch Houtu rushed madly towards the Ancestral Witch Temple. The call in her heart was extremely strong, almost to the point of being possessed. If Ye Yang hadn't given her the Tightening Headband before, Houtu would probably have already been reborn.

Rumble.

Outside the Ancestral Witch Temple, the Ancestral Witch's body, spanning 108,000 li, suddenly rushed in and directly entered the Pangu Temple.

"Ancestor of Humanity, I have sensed that an opportunity is approaching, but a desire is forcing me to make a Heavenly Oath to transform into the Six Paths of Reincarnation."

The moment she burst in, the ancestral witch Houtu blurted out without thinking, only realizing her mistake afterward.

"Wait, is that temptation gone?"

His mind cleared instantly, and Ye Yang suddenly opened his eyes. The calculation of the Dutian Divine Fiend Array had reached a critical moment, but it was interrupted by the Ancestral Witch Houtu.

"Sigh, it seems the time isn't right yet."

After sighing, Ye Yang looked over and said:

"Houtu, it seems your opportunity has arrived. The desire in your heart is actually the will of Heaven urging you to transform into reincarnation. Now that you have entered the Ancestral Witch Temple, how dare the will of Heaven act recklessly?"

After calming down, the Ancestral Witch Houtu said:

"May I ask our ancestor, what should we do now?"

"wait."

"Huh? Wait?"

The ancestral witch Houtu was dumbfounded. The opportunity had arrived, but she was left to wait.

"That's right, when your original body and your eleven brothers return to their peak, when the wronged souls of heaven and earth reach their limit, when the will of Pangu erupts, and when the order of the heavens collapses."

Turning to look at Houtu, Ye Yang continued:

"Only when all these factors are in place will it be time for you to truly attain enlightenment and reincarnation. Otherwise, if any one of them is missing, you will become a puppet of the Heavenly Dao, and the Earthly Dao will become a subordinate of the Heavenly Dao."

Slowly standing up, Ye Yang looked at the primordial world outside the Ancestral Witch Temple and then said:

"Remember, at the moment you are reborn into the cycle of reincarnation, do not accept any merit bestowed by the Heavenly Dao. You must wait until the origin of the Dao appears before you can make a vow to the Dao."

"May I ask our ancestor, when will the origin of the Dao appear?"

Ye Yang turned to look at Houtu, smiled slightly, and said:

"When Pangu's will awakens, that will be the time for you to make your vow. At that time, you will become the Ancestor of the Earthly Dao. Perhaps you will be weaker, but you will be on par with the Dao Ancestor. However, all of this requires planning. You should rest well first."

Ye Yang was well aware of the importance of Houtu's transformation into Samsara. He knew that all the saints in the heavens would definitely try to seize it, especially the two Western saints who would surely send down Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. But this time, how could Ye Yang let them succeed?

"I would rather the primordial world return to chaos than have all the saints of the heavens plot reincarnation."

After Houtu returned to the Ancestral Witch Temple, all the saints of the heavens were dumbfounded.

"Is that all?"

Didn't we agree that I would be reincarnated? Why am I not coming out once I'm inside?

"No, it seems that the Ancestor of Humanity entered the Ancestral Witch Temple several years ago and hasn't come out yet. Could it be..."

This startled all the saints in the heavens, and even the Dao Ancestor Hongjun opened his eyes, sensing something bad.

"Alas, variables are always variables, Ancestor of Humanity, don't push your luck too far."

If Houtu does not reincarnate, the primordial world will not be complete, and the fortune of the Wu tribe will always be stronger than that of the demon tribe. Even with a great sage of the demon tribe in charge, it cannot compare to the true lineage of Pangu, who was born from heaven and earth.

Hongjun sensed that another change had occurred. He looked towards the direction of the Ancestral Witch Temple, then towards the direction of Biyou Palace, and then towards the direction of the Blood Sea.

Hongjun had a vague premonition that an unprecedented war would be staged again, and that it would be related to the Ancestor of Humanity.

However, in that instant, suddenly nine suns shone in the sky, ten suns appeared in the primordial world, and in an instant, the primordial land was filled with wailing cries. The mountains and rivers were instantly illuminated by the intense heat of the fire, and weak creatures were directly burned to death, while rivers, lakes and seas were evaporated.

"Hehe, senior brother, Houtu has been unable to reincarnate. Now that we've done this, the number of wronged souls in the prehistoric land should have increased dramatically."

"Shh—Junior brother, hurry up! Although the secrets of heaven are obscured, they won't last long. We can't give ourselves away. Let's go!"

It turns out that the two goods of Jieyin and Zhunti released the golden crow of the Fusang tree.

"You bastard!"

A roar echoed across the vast, desolate land, and disaster struck.
