Primordial Era: I really don't want to be the Heavenly Emperor!

Chapter 277 Houtu: I Want to Have Your Child

The Netherworld is now filled with a large number of ghosts. People who die below the Golden Immortal realm usually come here via Mount Tai, while some go to the Blood Sea.

The Netherworld was also a remnant territory of the Wu tribe. Hundreds of thousands of Wu warriors who survived from Buzhou Mountain, along with the original forces and the Wu tribe of Houtu, all survived.

Therefore, in terms of strength, the Wu Clan is still a powerful force in the prehistoric world, but it no longer has the strength to suppress all races in the prehistoric world, and is no different from the current Demon Clan.

In a grand hall in the Netherworld, Xing Tian, ​​Xuan Ming, and Hou Tu sat upright. These were the only three Quasi-Saints remaining in the Witch Clan: Hou Tu at the peak of Quasi-Sainthood, Xuan Ming at the late stage of Quasi-Sainthood, and Xing Tian at the early stage of Quasi-Sainthood.

Besides, the Witch Clan has a few quasi-saints in physical form, but they are not worthy of being called the true pillars of the Witch Clan.

"Ancestral Witch, is Hou Yi's injury truly beyond healing? Even the Primordial Saint cannot save him?"

It was Xing Tian who spoke; he had just returned from Hou Yi's place. Chang Xi, the Moon Goddess, was also in the Underworld, accompanying Hou Yi.

Houtu shook her head, then nodded, and finally said helplessly, "The serious part of Houyi's injury is the dissipation of his true spirit. This is a difficult thing for us, but it is a very simple thing for the Great Heavenly Venerable and the Sage. They only need to communicate with the Heavenly Dao and condense Houyi's true spirit."

Upon hearing this, Xing Tian immediately stood up and was about to step out of the main hall.

"Where are you going?"

Xing Tian, ​​without turning his head, said, "Hou Yi is my brother. How can I stand by and watch him like this? I will go to the Heavenly Realm to beg the Great Heavenly Venerable Donghua. I will do anything if he is willing to help!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xing Tian was about to leave, but Hou Tu waved her hand to block his way out.

"I'm not dead yet, it's not your turn to lead the Wu Clan!"

Upon hearing this, Xing Tian immediately turned around and said, "Ancestral Witch, that's not what I meant. I just don't want to see Hou Yi continue like this. I believe that Dong Hua, as the Heavenly Emperor, still has this much mercy. At worst, I'll serve him for a while. I will do everything I can to save Hou Yi!"

Houtu gestured for Xingtian to sit down, and finally said helplessly, "You don't understand the key point. Saving Houyi is simple, but Houyi's real fault lies in offending Heaven, which is unforgivable!"

Xing Tian asked, puzzled, "Offended Heaven? How is that possible?"

Houtu sighed and said, "The Golden Crow is a primordial deity born from heaven and earth. Di Jun and Taiyi were born as the Lords of the Sun Star. Even the ten Golden Crows born by Xihe later were primordial deities. They were born with divine duties and were responsible for the movement of the stars."

"But Hou Yi killed eight golden crows at once, even though these eight golden crows had not committed any crime. Naturally, the heavens and earth would dislike Hou Yi. Moreover, at that time, the ruler of the heavens was Taiyi, and it was very easy for him to change the rules. Therefore, in the eyes of the heavens and earth, Hou Yi is now a sinner, a person who has committed a crime."

The only explanation for this is that Hou Yi shot down the sun too early. The ten golden crows had not yet committed any acts that angered the heavens and the people, so they naturally had no sins on their bodies. Therefore, Hou Yi's actions would indeed displease the heavens and the earth, since the ten golden crows were responsible for the operation of the great sun.

Xing Tian asked angrily, "But what does this have to do with saving Hou Yi? Even if the Golden Crows were extinct, so what? How many races in the primordial world have gone extinct? Why can't the Golden Crows?"

"Because he was once the Heavenly Emperor!"

Xuanming, standing to the side, spoke up with an unusually calm expression. Although the Lich and Demon races had always been mortal enemies, it had to be said that the Demon race was indeed very strong in the past. If Dijun hadn't gone astray later, there would have been no Donghua at all.

Xing Tian fell silent. Although he was unwilling to admit it, the truth was indeed the case: Di Jun and Tai Yi had indeed been Heavenly Emperors, regardless of whether they were competent or not, this was an unchangeable fact.

"So what should we do now? Hou Yi's condition really can't wait any longer."

Houtu said, "You don't need to worry about Houyi's matter, I will take care of it!"

"I've summoned you here today to tell you something. I'm about to die, or more precisely, to complete something the Father God didn't finish. The price will be my own demise!"

These words shocked Xuanming and Xingtian. They never expected Houtu to fall. Houtu was the hope of the entire Wu Clan. How could she fall?

"Little sister, what's going on here? What is it that you have to do, and how does it involve Father God?" Xuanming asked anxiously. She couldn't understand it at all. Houtu was too important to the Wu Clan now. A Quasi-Saint peak existence was the hope for the Wu Clan to rise again.

Houtu sighed and slowly said, "Reincarnation. Heaven and earth are still lacking reincarnation, which is also the most crucial link in the perfection of the Dao."

"Originally, I planned to break through to the Quasi-Saint realm and then transform into Samsara. At that time, Samsara would be able to emerge into the world, and I would not perish. Instead, I would take control of the Earthly Dao and become an existence no less than Donghua and the Six Saints, or even stronger."

"But now I am suffering from Dao injuries, and I don't know how many Yuanhui it will take to heal. I may never be able to break through to the Quasi-Saint realm again."

"But the perfection of the Earthly Dao is urgent, and now that Styx has comprehended the Great Dao of Reincarnation, I don't have much time left."

If Houtu does not imprint the cycle of reincarnation, then the person to be chosen will be changed, and the one to replace Houtu is Styx.

Because the Earthly Dao cannot wait for Houtu indefinitely, the trend of the perfection of the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man cannot be changed by anything. This is the general trend of the primordial world, and even Hongjun, the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao, cannot change it.

After a moment of silence, Xing Tian asked, "Is reincarnation absolutely necessary?"

"We absolutely have to go!"

"What should we do about the Witch Clan?" Xuanming asked unwillingly.

"Little sister, this is your path. I know I shouldn't advise you, but the Witch Clan is now in decline, with various forces eyeing us covetously. If we lose a top expert like you, we will surely face an attack from all races, with the Demon Clan bearing the brunt!"

Houtu chuckled softly, a look of relief in her eyes and face, and said, "Don't worry, I've already arranged the way out for the Wu Clan. Now that Donghua has become the Heavenly Emperor, he is using his status as the Great Heavenly Venerable to suppress the Primordial World and establish the Supreme Heavenly Court. Therefore, the Primordial World will be the world of the Heavenly Court in the future."

"I made an agreement with Donghua to exchange the power of reincarnation for the Heavenly Court's protection of the Wu Clan. From then on, the Wu Clan became the managers of the Earthly Reincarnation, enjoying supreme fortune and merit."

"So you don't need to worry. Once I perish, the power of reincarnation will inevitably be divided among various forces, and you won't be able to hold onto it anyway. You might as well give it to Donghua in exchange for the long-term survival of the Witch Clan!"

"Furthermore, after I undergo reincarnation, a great deal of merit will descend upon me, at which time the karma of the Witch Clan will be completely cleansed. You can then cultivate in peace and await the opportune moment!"

Upon hearing this arrangement, they all understood that Houtu's mind was made up and there was no way to change it.

Xuanming said sorrowfully, "Little sister, my ten brothers have already left me, and now you are leaving me too? How can I bear this!"

Houtu stepped forward and grasped Xuanming's hand, saying, "Sister Xuanming, with your talent, you are capable of ensuring the longevity of the Wu Clan. With the help of great witches like Xingtian and Jiufeng, I believe the Wu Clan will rise again."

"I will ask Donghua to help him save Houyi. With Houyi and Xingtian by our side, I will feel much more at ease."

At this point, Houtu chuckled and said, "Besides, I might not necessarily perish; there's still a chance I'll survive, so sister, you don't need to worry too much!"

Xing Tian silently walked out of the main hall. At this moment, he only regretted that he was not strong enough to change the status quo of the Wu Clan.

……

"You said Houtu sent you?"

In the Great Luo Heaven of the Celestial Realm, Donghua looked at Xing Tian and Hou Yi, who had been brought by Changxi, and asked in confusion.

Xing Tian bowed respectfully and said to Donghua, "Reporting to the Great Heavenly Venerable, it was indeed the Ancestral Witch who sent me. She hopes you can save Hou Yi!"

Donghua laughed and said, "She asked me to save her, so I have to save her. Besides, if she asked me to save someone, why didn't Houtu come herself instead of sending you?"

Upon hearing this, before Xing Tian could say anything, Chang Xi anxiously said, "Great Heavenly Venerable, Chang Xi begs you to save Hou Yi! As long as Hou Yi can live, Chang Xi is willing to serve the Heavenly Court and will do anything without hesitation!"

Donghua glanced at Changxi but didn't say anything. Instead, he focused his gaze on Xingtian. He knew that Houtu must have told Xingtian something, otherwise she wouldn't have rashly asked him to save people.

As expected, looking at Donghua, Xingtian's eyes were unreadable, and he said with an unusual expression, "The Ancestral Witch instructed that if the Great Celestial Venerable is unwilling to save Houyi, he will combine your Dao aura with her Dao to conceive a child, and let this child rule the Witch Clan and the Netherworld!"

"Depend on!"

Donghua cursed inwardly, he never expected Houtu to have such a trick up her sleeve, actually using this to threaten him.

"ruthless!"

"That's ruthless!"

He had no doubt that Houtu could do it; it was too easy for them. After all, they had cultivated both the Great Dao and the Divine Dao. For innate deities like them, having offspring required more than just physical intercourse; the fusion of the Great Dao was also possible.

So this threat really worked on him!

Upon hearing this, Changxi, who was initially very anxious, seemed to calm down and looked at Donghua with an unusual, somewhat enigmatic gaze.

Xing Tian stared wide-eyed at Dong Hua, completely bewildered that Dong Hua and Hou Tu, the Ancestral Witch, had such a story.

If the Ancestral Witch could really give birth to Donghua's offspring, it would seem like a good thing. At the very least, the relationship between the Witch Clan and the Heavenly Court could be eased, and they would receive a lot of support from the Heavenly Court, especially from Donghua, the Heavenly Emperor.

After all, it was his own son who was in charge of the Witch Clan and the Underworld.

Donghua was furious when he saw the two people staring at him so brazenly.

In his right hand, the power of the Great Dao and the power of the Heavenly Dao condensed, and with a wave of his hand, he directly sent Changxi back to Taiyin Star, instantly sealing her within Taiyin Star.

Looking up at Xing Tian, ​​this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes was anything but simple-minded.

"Great Celestial Venerable, please have mercy! This is what the Ancestral Witch told me to say. She said: 'Now that I am about to die, you won't even agree to do such a small thing for me. What affection can we have left? I just want to give you a child so I can see if your heart, Donghua, is truly black. I want to see if you still have any feelings after you attain enlightenment, and whether you will still fight for your son's power.'"

It would have been better if Xing Tian hadn't said those words. Once he did, Donghua's anger became uncontrollable. What kind of affection did he have for Houtu? It was nothing more than mutual exploitation. What feelings could there be?

Ignoring Xing Tian's pleas for mercy, he waved his hand, and in an instant, the power of the Heavenly Dao gathered, and the power of spacetime appeared in the hall, striking Xing Tian with a palm.

Xing Tian's powerful physical strength was like paper before this palm strike, and he was instantly suppressed and knocked off his feet.

Descending from the heavens, traversing endless time and space, they were directly thrown into the Netherworld. Continuing their descent, they crashed headfirst into the Netherworld earth, leaving only their feet outside.

Houtu, who was in the main hall, chuckled softly upon seeing this scene, then said to Xuanming, "Let's go, let's go to the Blood Sea and meet this Styx Ancestor, and see how much strength he has after breaking through to the peak!"

……

In the sea of ​​blood, various forces arrived with gifts to congratulate Ancestor Styx on breaking through to the peak of Quasi-Saint. After all, this period of time is quite sensitive, as humanity is rising, and the attitudes of Ancestor Styx and the Asura Clan are very important.

A Styx at the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm, coupled with the powerful Asura race, this is undoubtedly a massive force vying for the destiny of humanity.

That's why various forces took this opportunity to test Styx's attitude and see if he would participate in this humanitarian struggle.

At this moment, various forces gathered in the Youlian Hall, mostly from the myriad races.

"..."

"The Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains, the Demon Saint Bai Ze, has arrived!"

"Lord of the Northern Sea, the Demon Master Kunpeng has arrived!"

"Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of the Earth Immortals of Wuzhuang Temple, has arrived!"

"The Red Cloud Ancestor of Fire Cloud Cave has arrived!"

Upon their arrival, Styx personally went out to greet them.

"Welcome, fellow Daoists! Styx is deeply grateful. Please come in!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the group went straight into the hall and took their seats.

At this moment, almost all the forces had arrived, and just then, a phoenix's cry was heard outside the hall.

"The Golden Phoenix Fairy of the Tai Su Tian Nu Palace has arrived!"

As this sound rang out, Styx thought for a moment and then went out to greet them. After all, the visitor was a disciple of a sage, representing the sage, and moreover, the visitor was a petty disciple of Nuwa.

After being cracked open by Nuwa last time, Styx never dared to provoke Nuwa again; that woman's heart was truly petty.

"Welcome, Fairy Golden Phoenix. How is Goddess Nuwa doing these days?" Styx said with a smile as he stepped out.

Jin Feng didn't stand on ceremony. She respectfully bowed to Minghe and said, "Greetings, Ancestor. Her Majesty specially ordered me to come and congratulate you on your great progress in cultivation!"

Styx smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Please come in, fairy!"

Upon witnessing this scene, everyone sighed. When had such a scene ever appeared in the prehistoric world? A powerful being at the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm was actually treating a Taiyi Golden Immortal with great courtesy.

The primordial world has truly changed!

"The Venerable Master Xuandu of the Kunlun Mountain Buddhist Order has arrived!"

"The Taoist Master of the Southern Pole Sect from Kunlun Mountain has arrived!"

"The Daoist Duobao of the Jie Sect from Kunlun Mountain has arrived!"

"The Medicine Buddha, a follower of Western Buddhism, has arrived!"

With the arrival of the Golden Phoenix, all the disciples of the Sage came. Antarctica led several Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, Duobao led a group of disciples of the Jie Sect, and Yaoshi led a group of disciples from the West.

The Styx Ancestor once again came out to welcome them. His attitude wasn't exactly warm, but he still gave them plenty of face. After all, it was the first time in the prehistoric world that a dignified Quasi-Saint peak powerhouse had welcomed a few Taiyi juniors.

"The Great Emperor of the Easternmost Heaven, the Azure Splendor of the Celestial Court, and the Heavenly Venerable of Fate have arrived!"

As the voice faded, the Grand Master of Fate entered with Qingxuan and Yuanzhen.

Qingxuan and Yuanzhen are Donghua's personal disciples. This trip is also to broaden their horizons and prepare them for breaking through to the Great Luo realm.

This time, the Styx Ancestor personally came out to greet them, and his attitude was exactly the same as when he treated Kunpeng, Zhen Yuanzi, and others.

After all, given his status as the Grand Master of Fate, even if his cultivation level was insufficient, Styx would not dare to be negligent.

"Welcome, Great Emperor Qinghua! Your presence is an honor to our humble abode!"

The Grand Master of Fate maintained a composed and respectful demeanor, speaking softly, "Greetings, Senior Styx. I have heard that you have achieved the pinnacle of your cultivation, and the Great Heavenly Venerable has specially dispatched me to offer my congratulations!"

"Thank you for your kindness, Great Celestial Venerable. Please come inside, Celestial Venerable Siming!"

With the Grand Master of Fate taking his seat, the banquet began!
