Primordial Era: Humanity's Supreme Ruler, Abolishes Nuwa's Position as Holy Mother

Chapter 31 Houtu Wants to Make Peace? I Won't Agree

After the invention of characters, humans began to use writing to record their lives, and the area where Cangjie lived inevitably saw an increase in the number of humans coming to learn the human script.

After that, Chu Feng entrusted the task of teaching writing to Cangjie.

Late that night, an unexpected being suddenly descended upon human territory.

Sensing something, Chu Feng activated the full power of his territory, shielding everything without notifying anyone, and set off to leave the territory.

She is Houtu, one of the twelve ancestral witches.

She touched the snake-like thing on her arm, and soon the nine restless little snakes that had sensed the powerful aura quickly quieted down.

Looking up at the enormous Eastern Emperor Bell floating atop the mountain, I was filled with awe.

The bell was enormous, like a mountain suspended in mid-air, and below the Eastern Emperor Bell, a mist rose up, creating an astonishing scene.

Looking at the Eastern Emperor Bell and the Sacred Pool, Houtu's heart pounded more and more intensely. Her eyes seemed to flash across a vast expanse of calamity, instantly piercing through the past and present, as if she were truly witnessing a raging inferno.

"Even the Eastern Emperor Bell has been used as a clan-protecting artifact for the human race?" she exclaimed in surprise.

That sacred pool

She was confused and shocked.

She had been here before; it was just an ordinary open space on a mountaintop. Now, however, it had become a pool brimming with spiritual energy, its concentration of spiritual energy not even inferior to that near the Pangu Temple.

In the distance, a streak of aurora was seen rushing towards them, and the storm it stirred up was quickly extinguished by the aurora and returned to nothingness.

In the blink of an eye, a man stood before them, exuding an aura of supreme power and extraordinary presence.

Upon seeing Houtu arrive alone, Chu Feng asked with a puzzled expression, "I wonder what brings the Ancestral Witch Houtu to Kongtong?"

Looking into Chu Feng's eyes, Houtu felt even more strongly that this supreme being was exceptionally wise.

Before she came, she was thinking about how terrible the future would be, given that the human race had frequently invoked the Heavenly Dao and bestowed merits over the years.

She was increasingly worried because Chu Feng had made a vow long ago to fight the Lich King to the death.

This time, she came without telling the other Ancestral Witches because she wanted to talk to Chu Feng.

Houtu pondered for a while, hesitated, and did not speak immediately.

Seeing this, Chu Feng invited Houtu into his territory, saying with a smile, "Guests from afar are always welcome."

He found no trace of human blood on Houtu, clearly indicating that this stunningly beautiful ancestral witch had never killed any humans.

He waved his hand and led Houtu to the top of Mount Kongtong.

Houtu was shocked. She, a dignified Ancestral Witch and a Quasi-Saint, had no power to resist at all. This further solidified her belief.

At this moment, Chu Feng invited Hou Tu to sit down, while he himself walked to the opposite side, sat down cross-legged, and then began to boil water, setting out a tea set for brewing.

Houtu took a closer look at Donghuang Zhong and exclaimed, "I never imagined that the Supreme One possessed such great power that even Donghuang Zhong was subdued."

The scene of Taiyi wielding the Eastern Emperor Bell and fighting against several Ancestral Witches alone is still vivid in my mind. I never expected that Taiyi would perish and the Eastern Emperor Bell would fall into the hands of the human race's supreme ruler.

"It's now called the Human Emperor Bell, and it belongs to the human race. It doesn't belong to any one person," Chu Feng explained with a smile.

He could sense the benevolence in Houtu's heart, and the six realms of reincarnation in later generations were extremely important to the human race. They were the guarantee of the human race's enduring prosperity and the only way for the human soul to be reincarnated.

Therefore, he did not harbor much malice towards Houtu.

Moreover, Houtu herself had never killed anyone.

If it were any other Ancestral Witch who came today, Chu Feng would have slapped him to death the moment he entered the territory without hesitation.

Houtu laughed and said, "With the human race united in heart and mind, and with a powerful figure like the Supreme One, how can we not prosper throughout the primordial world?"

"You flatter me." Chu Feng skillfully arranged the tea set, then used small tongs to take two teacups out of the hot water and placed them in front of himself and Houtu.

He loved drinking tea in his past life, and he couldn't change that habit in this life either, because he was still just an ordinary person at heart.

An invincible ordinary person.

After a moment of contemplation, he added, "The Wu tribe has become much quieter in recent years."

Ever since the day they shattered Nuwa's sacred body and killed Donghuang, Qiangliang, and other powerful figures, not to mention the Lich Clan, all the other races have been peaceful.

However, Chu Feng's casual remark startled Hou Tu.

She wore a bitter smile, which was more than just calm. Because of the changes in the human race, many people had been killed in the open and covert struggles between the witch and demon races.

"Perhaps they've come to a realization?" Houtu laughed awkwardly, then added, "The Wu tribe has also begun to reflect on itself in recent years."

"Oh?" Chu Feng shook his head and chuckled upon hearing this.

The Wu tribe is reflecting on its own actions?

It was an absolute joke, but Chu Feng didn't say much more about it.

Then he asked again, "What brings the Ancestral Witch Houtu to our human territory?"

Seeing Chu Feng's amiable demeanor, Houtu was somewhat taken aback. After thinking for a moment, she finally revealed the purpose of her visit: "I have come to seek peace on behalf of the Wu Clan."

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng visibly paused.

He pursed his lips, continued brewing the tea, and countered, "Seek peace? Do you know how many humans have died at the hands of the witches over the years?"

Upon hearing this, Houtu's heart clenched for a moment.

Her face turned somewhat pale at that moment. Just then, Chu Feng handed her a teacup and said with a smile, "This is fine tea brought by the Grand Tutor of the Human Race from Wuzhuang Temple."

After Houtu thanked her, she accepted the tea with both hands, but instead of drinking it immediately, she gently placed it in front of her.

Undeterred, she continued, "Back then, the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans fought a great war. In the end, the Dragon clan retreated to the four seas, the Phoenix clan fled to the Undying Mountain, and the Qilin clan fled into the forests. All three clans perished. Moreover, when the human race was first born, I also protected some of them. Your Majesty, what do you think?"

"No." Before Houtu could finish speaking, Chu Feng decisively refused, but a warm smile remained on his face.

He remained patient and always spoke kindly to Houtu. Even when he thought of the humiliation that had befallen the human race, he never lashed out at her.

Houtu swallowed hard, clenched her hands awkwardly, feeling her mouth dry and tongue parched, unsure of where to begin.

However, after taking a sip of hot tea, Chu Feng said leisurely, "Your protection of the human race stems from a benevolent heart, and I thank you for your concern on behalf of the human race. But how can your merits outweigh the faults of others? Merits and demerits in this world are not calculated in such a way. Back then, the Lich Kings slaughtered the human race, nearly causing its extinction. This is a blood feud that cannot be left unresolved. Moreover, those humans you protected back then were probably the first to die under the swords of your Lich King clan."

Houtu pursed her lips and fell silent for a moment.

She looked up and saw the hatred and killing intent in Chu Feng's eyes. She knew she couldn't persuade him.

Putting myself in Chu Feng's shoes, I think I would probably have done the same.

"In that case, I'll take my leave."

Houtu sighed softly, stood up, and said.

"etc!"

Chu Feng suddenly called out to her.

Houtu frowned: "What? Does the Supreme One want to kill me?"

Chu Feng shook his head and said, "You are kind-hearted and have never killed a single member of my human race. Why would I kill you? I just want to give you an opportunity. Go to the Blood Sea when you have time. Perhaps you will gain something there."

"A sea of ​​blood?" Houtu, who had only taken a few steps, turned her head in confusion, looked at Chu Feng, and said, "The Netherworld Blood Sea?"

Chu Feng smiled and nodded, then fell silent, appearing unfathomable.

Houtu must establish the cycle of reincarnation, firstly to weaken the fighting power of the Wu tribe, and secondly to provide a place for the future reincarnation of humankind. Many human souls, slaughtered by the Wu and Yao, still wander the primordial land; only with the establishment of the cycle of reincarnation can they enter into it and be reborn.

Houtu gave Chu Feng a deep look before turning and leaving. She traversed mountains and rivers, soared across the sky, and pondered Chu Feng's words carefully. Unconsciously, her steps led her toward the Netherworld Blood Sea.
