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

Chapter 62 The Saints' Test, The Lich's Return

The saints agreed that after sealing off the territories that the human race's supreme ruler could control, the development of the human race within those territories would be far inferior to that of the human race outside those territories.

At that time, Fuxi and Nuwa, as benevolent rulers, will lead the human race outside their territories to expand their influence and thus create a confrontational situation.

At that time, no matter how powerful the supreme human race may be, they will gradually perish due to the decline of the human race's status.

Faced with such a scheme, all the saints subsequently expressed their admiration.

"Let the task of probing the boundaries of our territory be left to the Lich and Demon races," Nuwa said after a moment of contemplation.

Although the Lich and Demon races have suffered heavy losses due to the great war, they are consumed by rage and hate the human race even more after they saw through the human race's scheme.

It is undoubtedly best to let them test the waters.

The sages made a decision immediately, and Nuwa acted accordingly.

When Nuwa arrived at the Heavenly Court on her blue phoenix, the ruins throughout the Heavenly Court began to heal themselves.

A wisp of the sage's aura instantly spread, startling all the demons in the Heavenly Court. They turned around and bowed to the sage.

The Azure Phoenix was surrounded by azure mist, and Nuwa, standing within it, appeared mysterious and hazy, radiating a gentle power.

When Nuwa arrived at the Heavenly Court, Di Jun, who sensed the arrival of the sage, also appeared.

"Goddess Nuwa," Di Jun greeted her.

Having just finished a great battle, and now learning that it was all a conspiracy by the human race, Di Jun's anger remained burning.

In this fierce battle, the Heavenly Court suffered heavy losses, with even Fuxi perishing. How hateful are the Witch Clan and the Human Clan!

After Nuwa surveyed Di Jun, she used her divine voice to send a message to Di Jiang of the Wu tribe, who was millions of miles away.

When Dijiang, who was still recovering from his injuries, heard that it was a message from a sage, he immediately dared not delay. However, when he arrived, he discovered that it was actually the Heavenly Court.

He hesitated at first, after all, stepping into the Heavenly Court was no different from entering the tiger's den. If he were to be tricked by Di Jun, it would be difficult to escape.

Immediately, he stood outside the South Heavenly Gate, paid his respects to Nuwa, and, with a meticulous mind, asked, "May I ask what brings the Sage to my court?"

The great war between the demon races had just ended, and Dijiang was already standing outside the South Heavenly Gate, making countless powerful demons hate him to the bone.

If it weren't for the presence of the sage Nuwa, there would have been another bloody battle.

Seeing the cautious Dijiang, Nuwa did not press him further. She then told him, "Now that you have been tricked by the human race, I have discussed with the Five Sages that in order to maintain the balance in the prehistoric world, we should temporarily put aside our grudges and join forces to attack and kill the human race, so as to seek justice for the dead Golden Crow, Da Yi, and others."

"Attack the human race?"

Dijiang paused in confusion, wondering, "So, we still want to cooperate with Dijun?"

Although they have been dealing with the human race for years, the strength of the witch race has been greatly reduced after a series of wars, and it is not appropriate to attack the human race at this time.

The Wu Clan now needs to conserve its strength and ensure the perfect operation of the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, so that it will have sufficient confidence to deal with both the demon and human races.

On the other hand, Di Jun had the same idea.

The previous defeats of Donghuang, Nuwa's projection, Laozi, and others have already demonstrated the immense power of the human race's supreme beings. Why would they still take such a risk?

Although it is indeed a good idea to weaken the Wu tribe again by using the human race, Dijiang may not agree to it.

Having lost two great shamans and two ancestral shamans in succession, how could Dijiang be willing to advance rashly?

Seeing Dijiang's hesitant expression, Dijun thought to himself, "Just as I thought."

Although the demon race suffered losses, they were significantly less severe compared to the witch race. It was impossible for Dijiang to take such a huge risk by joining forces with the Heavenly Court to attack the human race.

For no other reason than that the human race has a supreme being in charge. Moreover, the human race is no longer what it used to be. The four ancestors of the human race, Zhen Yuanzi, Xuanwu, and others are all powerful figures.

Seeing this, Nuwa said, "This time, the human race has caused the deaths of several powerful figures from both of your races without lifting a finger. If you continue to allow the human race to grow stronger, how will you deal with them?" She pondered for a moment and then said, "I have discussed with the Five Sages that you only need to feign an attack on the human race. We will deal with the human race's supreme rulers ourselves. We will weaken them step by step, and the human race will return to its weak past when it was dominated by us."

So even sages have to take action?

Dijiang's hesitation instantly lessened considerably.

After another period of deep thought, Dijiang finally agreed.

He and Di Jun briefly discussed attacking the human race from all eight directions simultaneously, thus dispersing their forces and defeating them one by one.

Of course, he still spoke from outside the South Heavenly Gate, never daring to step into the Heavenly Court unless Emperor Jun died and the Wu Clan took control of the Heavenly Court.

Di Jun did not object to the plan, and immediately began to gather the elite of the demon race to stop the attack on the human race.

He summoned the demon general Kunpeng and led his troops to attack Mount Kongtong from the west. He also sent the recovered Empress Xihe with a million elite troops to crush the humans from the north, intending to completely restrain all those who could cultivate.

As for the other directions, they were left to be controlled by the Ancestral Witches such as Dijiang. Without a large number of human cultivators, Dijiang and the others would inevitably have to face Zhen Yuanzi, Xuanwu and others.

This group is quite capable; guarding a region would be no problem for them.

Meanwhile, Dijiang, who had returned to the Wu tribe, also began to deploy his troops.

He decided to lead Chi You, Xiang Liu, and Xing Tian to attack from the front at Kongtong, while the remaining great witches and ancestral witches were distributed in the remaining four directions.

Dijiang's intentions regarding this cooperation with the Heavenly Court were not entirely pure.

He was fairly aware of the strength of the human race, so what if there were saints plotting behind the scenes?

He didn't believe the sage would really take full action; otherwise, why would he have facilitated the cooperation between the lich and the demon?

Therefore, the most crucial reason for agreeing to form an alliance with Nuwa was to weaken the Heavenly Court by leveraging the power of the human race.

Dijiang shared his thoughts with the other ancestral witches and great witches, stating frankly that during the attack, they should try to extend the war to the battlefield of the Heavenly Court, and preferably provoke Dijun.

Both the Lich and Demon races had plans for this battle, and they coincidentally formed overlapping factions and set off.

That is, the demon army attacking from the east was surrounded by witch army to the north and south, and demon army to the west.

"Kill Di Jun." Di Jiang clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

"Kill Di Jun! Kill the demon race!" shouted the ancestral witches and great witches.

While Di Jiang was angered by the provocations of the human race, he found Di Jun's swift action against the demon race even more hateful.

If the human race doesn't perform well this time, he will secretly lend a hand. The best outcome would be the death of Di Jun, and the worst outcome would be the weakening of the demon race's elite forces.

"This time, I'll make sure Dijiang never returns!"

Di Jun, clad in armor, stood before the towering steps of the Southern Heavenly Gate, his eyes blazing with fire.

Behind him stood the Heavenly Court's top warriors, including Empress Xihe and Demon General Kunpeng.

At this moment, Demon General Kunpeng looked around, raised his arms, and roared, "Kill Dijiang! Avenge the Golden Crow! Avenge Demon General Fuxi!"

"Kill Dijiang! Avenge the demon general Fuxi! Avenge the Golden Crow!"

The demon elites roared in agreement.

They all became cunning and ruthless, their clenched teeth suggesting they were about to unleash all their pent-up anger and resentment.
