Primordial Era: Innate gourd vine, self-dismemberment

Chapter 78 Jiu Feng's Problem

She hoped they would fight tooth and nail for a futon, or even several, so that Houtu would sit on it and seize a great opportunity.

If there are any extra prayer mats, they can be given to Nuwa in order to win over Nuwa and Fuxi.

However, they were not the first to arrive at Zixiao Palace. When they arrived, all the spots in front of the palace gates had already been taken.

Zhu Rong and Gong Gong were foul-mouthed and almost got into a fight with Di Jun and Tai Yi outside Zi Xiao Palace. Because they were confronting Di Jun and Tai Yi, they were a step too slow and failed to grab the prayer mat. In the end, the person who sat on the prayer mat changed. Zhun Ti became Yuan Yan and was ranked before Nuwa.

However, this does not affect Jiufeng's status in their hearts.

They felt that the change might have occurred because they also wanted to seize the meditation cushion, and because of the guidance of this newcomer, they actually managed to sit on the meditation cushion.

Moreover, they were already satisfied that Jiufeng's predictions of the future were largely accurate, and they dared not hope for 100% accuracy.

However, what the Twelve Ancestral Witches didn't know was that the Nine Phoenixes' ability to foresee the future wasn't due to any favor from Pangu.

It's not because of her background, but because, like Yuan Yan, she was a time traveler.

As for whether they traveled from the same timeline and the same place, only Pangu and the Time Chaos Demon God probably know.

In the hearts of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Pangu was sacred and inviolable. Therefore, when Jiufeng said that she was favored by Father Pangu and could occasionally foresee the future unintentionally, the Twelve Ancestral Witches believed her. They did not think that Jiufeng would use the name of Father Pangu to lie.

Unfortunately, Jiufeng is not the normal Jiufeng. Although she has a strong sense of belonging to the Wu tribe and great respect for Pangu due to the influence of Pangu's bloodline, she does not have the same fanatical faith in Pangu as the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

Moreover, Jiufeng, who had just transmigrated, was unaware of Pangu's power, nor of cause and effect, which is why she dared to use Pangu's name to gain the trust and influence of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

But after she broke through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, gathered the past, present, and future, transcended the river of time, and understood the profound mysteries of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Only then did she realize that this primordial world was not simple and something was wrong, and that Pangu had most likely not perished and would one day be resurrected and return. Only then did she feel awe.

Unfortunately, it was too late; the boast had already been made.

If she dared to confess to the Twelve Ancestral Witches that what she said before—that she was favored by Father Pangu, and that she could occasionally and unintentionally foresee the future—was false.

Those twelve Ancestral Witches wouldn't care whether she was Qiang Liang's younger sister or had the potential to advance to the Ancestral Witch level; they would definitely tear her apart.

Even if I were to let her go out of consideration for our years of friendship, I would definitely expel her.

Jiufeng had no choice but to make the best of a bad situation!

By using his lies, he gained the power of discourse among the Twelve Ancestral Witches, guiding them onto the right path and preventing them, and even the Witch Clan, from falling into their predetermined fate.

As for whether Jiufeng, as a time traveler, was aware of the abnormality of Yuan Yan and the other three, or whether Yuan Yan and the others might also be time travelers.

That's beyond doubt!

Although there are many top-tier innate deities in the primordial world, some of them are extremely low-key and unknown, with no legends about them from their previous lives. Examples include Qinghua, Jinxuan, Yaojun, Shuanggu, Qingyan, and so on. Furthermore, there are those from the Yuanyan, Yuanjie, and Yuanlun realms...

The four Yuanlings were perfectly normal.

However, Yuanjie, Yuanlun, and Yuanling have subdued many powerful beings and repaired the earth veins in the Western Continent, having already restored a large area. This is completely inconsistent with the original destiny trajectory, which has aroused Jiufeng's suspicion.

With the help of Yuanjie, Yuanlun, and Yuanling, Yuan Yan sat on the futon, which deepened Jiu Feng's suspicions. At this moment, Jiu Feng was almost certain that Yuan Yan definitely had a problem.

However, Jiufeng only suspected that Yuan Yan's origins were similar to hers, that they were both time travelers. She did not doubt the relationship between Yuanjie, Yuanlun, Yuanling and Yuan Yan, nor did she doubt that they were all time travelers.

As the saying goes, "When fellow countrymen meet, they stab each other in the back." She didn't believe that if they were all transmigrators, Yuanjie, Yuanlun, Yuanling, and Yuanyan could live in peace and help Yuanyan sit on the futon.

Even now, if she had the ability to kill or trick Yuan Yan without taking any damage, she would probably do it without hesitation.

Because she knew perfectly well that she would not be content with her lot in the future, and that she would definitely use her power of speech and understanding of the future to try her best to change the future of the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Witch Clan.

If the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Witch Clan acted in ways drastically different from their original destinies, Yuan Yan, if he were a time traveler, would likely also become suspicious of the Witch Clan and eventually trace the clues back to her.

At that time, it was still unknown what Yuan Yan's attitude was towards her, his colleague.

It could be a ruthless and decisive type, intending to eliminate her as a fellow transmigrator and monopolize the informational advantage; or it could be like those lowly teddy bears, wanting to possess all the goddesses of the primordial world and setting their sights on her.

This is a huge hidden danger for her.

As for why, if that's the case, and she was wary of Yuan Yan and even considered getting rid of him, why didn't she suggest helping the Three Pure Ones seize the Twenty-Fourth Grade Creation Lotus and try to resolve Yuan Yan's situation in this battle?

The reason is also very simple.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches would not agree, and even if they did, they could not kill Yuan Yan.

Although the Ancestral Witches were short-tempered due to the evil energy from the creation of the world, this does not mean that the Second Ancestral Witch was stupid or brainless.

Yes, Zhu Rong and Gong Gong were indeed a bit foolish, but the others, especially Di Jiang and Zhu Jiuyin, were all exceptionally wise, resourceful, and courageous.

Otherwise, no matter how powerful the Twelve Ancestral Witches were, they would never be able to compete with the Demon Race for supremacy and become one of the two overlords of the primordial world.

Although she held considerable influence over the Twelve Ancestral Witches by impersonating Pangu, this did not mean that the Twelve Ancestral Witches would obey her every word.

They would also think and weigh the pros and cons. If what she said was more beneficial than harmful, they would listen to her as long as it did not involve matters of principle such as dignity or the Father God Pangu. However, if the disadvantages outweighed the advantages, they would not blindly follow her.

Without a doubt, it is quite obvious that helping the Three Pure Ones seize the Twenty-Fourth Grade Creation Lotus would offend Yuan Yan and the other three, as well as Nuwa and Fuxi. The disadvantages would far outweigh the advantages, and it would definitely not be worthwhile.

This is not just because the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Three Pure Ones are at odds and there is a dispute over the rightful lineage of Pangu. Giving the Three Pure Ones the Twenty-Four Grade Creation Lotus is entirely to strengthen the Three Pure Ones and weaken their advantage.

Furthermore, the four Yuan Yans, along with Nuwa and Fuxi, were powerful enough and numerous enough. The four Yuan Yans also possessed great merit and were blessed with the fortune of the West, making them enough to make the Twelve Ancestral Witches wary.

Furthermore, the Twelve Ancestral Witches and Nine Phoenixes have never personally experienced the difference between the Great Luo Golden Immortal at its peak and the Great Luo Golden Immortal at its later stage.

However, they were well aware of the significant differences between the late-stage and mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortals, and between the mid-stage and early-stage Great Luo Golden Immortals.

Having just broken through to the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, they could hold their own against seven or eight of their counterparts who had just broken through to the middle stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. Similarly, having just broken through to the middle stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, they could also hold their own against seven or eight of their counterparts who had just broken through to the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
