Hei Fengshen's infinite deduction to become a saint

If one's words are not startling, one will not rest until death.

Upon hearing this, Houtu's eyes narrowed, and she stared intently at him. "Evidence."

Li Changshou smiled slightly, "First of all, preaching is a scam."

"It was a scheme orchestrated by that person to seize the fortune of the world."

"Before preaching, the great powers of the world each have their own paths."

"Some people cultivate their physique, pursuing the path of physical immortality."

"Some people walk the path of devouring heaven and earth and destroying all things."

"Some even walk the path of creating all things and all living beings."

"The Golden Core and Primordial Spirit Dao passed down by that person is to comprehend the strange ways of heaven and earth after cultivating the Golden Core and Primordial Spirit. It seems omnipotent, and any great power in ancient times can cultivate it, but everyone's path is actually bound by the Golden Core and Primordial Spirit."

"The Golden Core and Primordial Spirit make it safer to comprehend the Three Thousand Devious Paths, because the Golden Core and Primordial Spirit are like a shell, isolating direct contact with the Devious Paths."

"Those innate great powers originally took the path of directly cultivating the Three Thousand Devious Paths, which was more direct and more dangerous."

"When all cultivators in the world switch to cultivating the Primordial Spirit Golden Core and then cultivate the Three Thousand Devious Paths, there is actually nothing wrong with this path itself. However, as long as one cultivates this path, one's own fortune and understanding of the Dao will be partially absorbed by that one."

"Finally, only by cultivating the primordial spirit and golden core through the various great beings could that one master a portion of the information of the Three Thousand Devious Paths and the fortune of all living beings in heaven and earth, thus merging with the Heavenly Dao."

"Those who cultivate the Golden Core and Primordial Spirit paths will be influenced by him life after life."

"During the three sermons, the experts who had switched to cultivating the Golden Core and Primordial Spirit all made rapid progress."

"Based on my speculation, that person can very likely directly infuse the information of the three thousand strange paths he has mastered into the Golden Core and Primordial Spirit, making all the powerful beings mistakenly believe that their comprehension ability has improved by leaps and bounds."

"After the three sermons, apart from the ability to sever the three corpses, the actual speed of cultivation and the evolution and mastery of the demonic path did not improve much for all the great beings."

"And this further confirms my conjecture: after entering the Great Luo realm, will the acquisition, understanding, and deduction of information about the Three Thousand Devious Paths really slow down?"

"The so-called sainthood is probably also the key that remains in the Golden Core Primordial Spirit."

"Only those who attain sainthood can break through the limitations of the Golden Core and Primordial Spirit, unite their True Spirit with the Deceptive Path, and complete the Sacred Path of the Primordial Spirit and True Spirit residing in the Void."

"This is why those six saints did not seem to reach the ultimate in their path. In the end, they all forcibly perfected their saintly path through merit and sainthood."

"But if you follow my path, even without cultivating your primordial spirit, you may still achieve sainthood in the future."

This information of Li Changshou did not come out of thin air, but was calculated from the Jade Disc of Creation.

To persuade Houtu, we must present something truly impressive.

As Houtu listened to Li Changshou's words, her mind raced. In fact, she had a vague feeling about it as well.

Therefore, after transforming into Samsara, her true spirit remained within this Samsara Palace.

She only used her true spirit to unite the earth and the cycle of reincarnation, without uniting her primordial spirit, and had been trapped here for a long time. Over the course of time, she seemed to have discovered this.

Houtu looked at Li Changshou and asked, "How did you know this information?"

Li Changshou smiled slightly, "Everyone has their own extraordinary encounters, and I am no exception."

Houtu looked at him calmly and said, "But this information is not enough."

Li Changshou smiled faintly, "Then let's add one more thing. When the Witch Clan perished, you transformed into Samsara and seemed to have comprehended the creation of Samsara. But behind that, there was probably that person's hand in it."

"You were reincarnated to make the world whole. That being acted in accordance with the will of Heaven and took advantage of your kindness, and in the end you are trapped here."

"After that came the great calamity of the Lich Clan. One of the Ancestral Witches was lost, and the Twelve Capital Heaven Formation could not be used. In addition, someone instigated a war between Zhu Rong and Gong Gong, which caused Buzhou Mountain to collapse and dissipate the fortune of the Wu Clan."

"The demon race seized the opportunity to launch an attack. The strength of the witch race was already comparable to that of the demon race, and coupled with the temporary depletion of their fortune, they ultimately ended up with both sides suffering heavy losses."

"Everything is part of someone else's plan."

"Empress Houtu, don't you want revenge?"

"By allying with me, you will gain access to a completely new path to sainthood, with at least a 70% chance of achieving it."

"I see that your current state doesn't seem quite right either; you've also been corrupted by the strange ways of heaven and earth."

"After incarnating into the cycle of reincarnation, the resistance of your ancestral witch blood to the contamination of demonic information must have decreased considerably, right?"

"If this continues, you will probably one day become a puppet of the Heavenly Dao."

"But if you succeed on this holy path, you can not only attain sainthood, but also seek revenge in the future."

When Li Changshou entered, he saw Houtu's appearance; all the information had already been entered into the Creation Jade Disc.

With just a slight calculation, it was clear that something was wrong with her condition.

Houtu looked at him, her eyes showing surprise again, "You actually knew that."

Li Changshou smiled slightly, "Without some tricks up my sleeve, how could I be qualified to form an alliance with you?"

Houtu took a deep breath, her eyes suddenly sharpening. "How do you want to cooperate?"

Li Changshou smiled slightly, "The Goddess Houtu wields immense power over the underworld."

Houtu paused for a moment upon hearing this, then slowly said, "The Underworld is one of the Three Realms, born of Heaven and Earth."

"Later, I transformed into Samsara, and naturally became the core of the Netherworld, directly controlling most of its authority."

"The scope covers all the landmasses of the underworld."

"Besides, I have no control over the Blood Sea in the Western Asura Land, and the ocean of karma that appears under the cycle of reincarnation."

"The other areas are all under my control."

Li Changshou narrowed his eyes. "Then are the various cycles of power, matter, soul, time, and space in the underworld also under Your Majesty's control?"

Houtu nodded slightly, curiosity in her eyes. "You're under my control. Why are you asking this?"

"I want all the authority in the underworld related to the cycle of rebirth."

"This is the sincerity you need to show in our cooperation."

Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. "You haven't offered anything yet, but you want me to divide the power of the Underworld in your hands."

"Doesn't this seem insincere?"

Li Changshou smiled slightly, "Then I'll offer another token of my sincerity."

"The great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods is about to begin. Once the Heavenly Court completes the investiture of the gods, there will surely be gods who interfere in the underworld."

"The positions of the Fengdu Emperor, the Ten Kings of Hell, and the Five Ghost Emperors are still undecided. Even Buddhism will try to get involved under the guise of saving the Blood Sea Asuras and carve out their own territory in the underworld."

"With Your Majesty's current strength, and the few great shamans in the Underworld who follow you, I'm afraid you can't stop their invasion."

"When the time comes, the investiture will be done by the Heavenly Court in accordance with the will of Heaven. If Your Majesty dares to obstruct it, you will lose your merits, be suppressed by Heaven and Earth, lose some control over the Underworld, and even accelerate your transformation into a puppet of the Heavenly Way."

"The unification of the three realms is an inevitable trend, and even if Your Majesty holds power in the underworld, you cannot stop it in the future."

"I wonder if this message is sincere enough."

Houtu's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. In a moment of clarity, the fog that had been shrouding her mind suddenly dissipated, and her gaze saw the future.

Through the power of endless reincarnation and Li Changshou's clear and insightful analysis of the future, she managed to glimpse a corner of the future.

He was horrified. "What he said was actually true!"
