Primordial Era: I, Yuan Hong, am solely focused on stability; humanity remains clear-headed.

Chapter 40 Houtu Entrusts the Orphan with His Essence Blood!

After Hongjun became a saint, the Heavenly Dao was essentially "awakened" and completely activated, capable of exerting power far exceeding that of the Earthly Dao and the Human Dao!

To fight against it, a Dao Ancestor of the Earthly Path or a Dao Ancestor of the Human Path must be born.

Therefore, Houtu, the ancestral witch, was willing to do anything to become a saint!

If she had been able to advance to the first Earthly Saint back then, she would have automatically been promoted to the position of Earthly Ancestor, on par with the Heavenly Dao Hongjun!

The underground passage will be fully activated, its power will surge, and it will possess the power to contend with the Heavenly Dao!

Even if they can't defeat them, at least they have the ability to protect themselves and will never be suppressed to a miserable state.

In this situation, the ending of the Lich King's Cataclysm was naturally altered!

Even if we don't defeat the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World, we can simply relocate all the Wu Clan members to the Underworld.

At that time, the activated power of the earth will be on par with the primordial heavenly way, able to repel the power of the heavenly way, and no heavenly way can interfere here!

The fate of the Wu tribe will also be very different.

The Lich Wars will also end immediately and be completely eradicated.

This is the real reason why Houtu, the ancestral witch, had to reincarnate!

"Back then, in order to successfully attain the status of a true sage, I naturally made preparations in advance."

"I have condensed the essence and blood of twelve ancestral witches, and spent a huge amount of resources and effort to reshape an ancestral witch's body. In this way, after reincarnation, my primordial spirit can immediately merge into it."

"Unfortunately, Heaven had already laid a trap beforehand, which caused that ancestral witch's body to be corrupted from the very beginning, and its bloodline was no longer pure."

"Even if it were created, it would only be a defective product, no longer capable of supporting my primordial spirit as a saint."

"After being tricked, my primordial spirit could only be trapped in the cycle of reincarnation, gradually assimilated and obliterated."

"Judging by the time, I will probably perish in about a thousand years."

Houtu spoke quietly, her words calm, as if she were not the one about to perish.

However, if you listen carefully, you can still sense a hint of distrust towards the witch clan in his words.

He was dead, but the remaining power of the witch clan was his last hope.

"Are we just supposed to wait to die? Is there really no other way?"

Seeing Houtu like this, Yuan Hong pressed for an answer.

He sighed inwardly, thinking how brilliant the ways of Heaven were. Houtu's preparations back then were useless, and her plans were ruined.

As a result, we've fallen to this state.

In about a thousand years, they will perish, and it is even possible that they will die and their clan will be wiped out!

Even Yuan Hong couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

Moreover, Houtu is his Daoist partner with whom he has formed a marriage, yet he can only watch helplessly.

"What other way is there? The body of an Ancestral Witch must be pure to sustain my primordial spirit as it ascends to sainthood."

"If we want to create another one, we'll probably need Pangu's essence blood. Where can we find that now?"

Houtu smiled gently, as if she had already accepted her fate.

Their ancestral witches were formed from the essence of Pangu's blood. If they wanted to create another one, they would have to find more of Pangu's essence.

After hearing this, Yuan Hong remained silent.

Pangu's essence blood?

The true essence of Pangu's blood, since Pangu created the world, has only been twelve drops, which transformed into the twelve Ancestral Witches!

Each Ancestral Witch is an absolute overlord, possessing unparalleled strength among Quasi-Saints!

When they join forces, they are enough to terrify all the great supernatural beings in the world!

Furthermore, the twelve Ancestral Witches could even combine their powers to set up the Twelve Capital Gods and Demons Formation, gathering the boundless evil energy of the primordial world and transforming it into the true form of Pangu. This was truly the power of a saint!

It should be known that even a Primordial Saint would have to temporarily avoid the sharp edge and find it difficult to confront the power of Pangu's true form!

This is also why, during the Lich Wars, although the Six Saints of the Heavenly Dao had successively become saints, almost no one took action.

At that time, the suppressive power of the Wu tribe was too strong. Even saints had to temporarily avoid its sharp edge!

And this being is supported by twelve drops of Pangu's essence blood!

A single drop of Pangu's essence blood can transform into an unparalleled ancestral witch.

Those twelve Ancestral Witches possessed quasi-saint level physical bodies and unlimited potential when they were born!

If they hadn't absorbed a large amount of the earth's turbid and malevolent energy, the Twelve Ancestral Witches might have achieved physical sainthood even before the Six Saints of the Primordial Era!

It should be noted that Pangu was at a high level, capable of easily defeating three thousand chaotic demons.

Even a single drop of his essence blood would likely be useful to an ordinary Chaos Demon God!

The potential of the Ancestral Witch is no less than that of an ordinary Chaos God; it is just that it has been corrupted by boundless evil energy and turbidity.

This shows just how precious Pangu's essence blood was!

Even sages have probably only heard of it, but have never actually seen the real essence of Pangu's blood!

Pangu, the great god, has been gone for countless years. Where can we find such a divine substance as Pangu's blood essence?

"So, Houtu is destined to perish?"

Yuan Hong felt conflicted as he thought about this. He couldn't guarantee that he could find Pangu's blood essence within a thousand years.

At this moment, Houtu looked gently at Yuan Hong and said kindly:

"I just never expected that I would actually be destined to be with someone, to have you as my soulmate."

"It's quite amazing to think about, it's just a pity we didn't have enough time."

"However, I had Xing Tian bring you here so that you wouldn't just listen to this useless information."

After saying this, Houtu raised her hand and waved it, and ten drops of essence blood as big as the sun appeared in the arena.

These essences of blood, as perfect as crystals, carried a terrifying pressure, as if they were standing as peerless powerhouses, extremely divine!

The mere essence and blood possessed such power, exceeding Yuan Hong's imagination.

"These are the ten drops of Ancestral Witch Blood Essence that were condensed from the remaining essence of my blood and qi when my original body perished."

"Although you are not a member of the Witch Clan, your physical foundation is extremely strong, even surpassing that of my Witch Clan."

"Once you absorb and refine these ten drops of my essence blood, there's a good chance you can transform yourself into the body of an ancestral witch, or at the very least, a descendant of Pangu!"

"Compared to that, it can at least improve your footwork a bit."

Hou Tu said gently, and her gift was so great that it left Yuan Hong stunned.

Ancestral Witch Essence Blood!

Each drop is priceless, probably more precious than most innate spiritual treasures, let alone ten drops!

Even if one cannot achieve the physical body of an Ancestral Witch after refining, one's foundation will certainly be improved.

Yuan Hong's current level is actually only that of a mid-level innate saint, far from being an ancestral witch.

For him, this was quite a stroke of luck.

"If you give this essence blood to Xing Tian and the others to refine, wouldn't it make them even stronger?"

Yuan Hong asked with a complicated expression.

It feels like Houtu is entrusting her orphan to her...
