The people of the primordial era ruled the heavens and earth.

Upon receiving a pleading look from his second brother, Tongtian hesitated, losing his usual decisiveness.

He was arrogant and believed he could defeat three saints by relying on the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.

But when facing Qin Tian, ​​he couldn't be arrogant at all.

This guy even dares to curse and hit his teacher, Hongjun.

With my current strength, I'm afraid I wouldn't last ten moves against him.

But seeing his second brother's pitiful appearance, Tongtian felt very sorry for him.

His mind raced, and Tongtian suddenly thought of the Heavenly Court, and hurriedly said, "Great Venerable One, please calm your anger."

"My second brother used the wrong words, and I apologize to the Great One on his behalf."

"These are just a few spiritual treasures. If the Great Venerable is interested, he can simply take them and play with them."

"If Your Excellency still desires more, I have more here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tongtian waved his sleeve, and the hundreds of spiritual treasures he had obtained from the Treasure Sharing Cliff appeared in the air.

The sky was ablaze with color, a dazzling spectacle that transformed the otherwise ordinary sky into a paradise on earth.

Upon seeing this, Yuanshi had a sudden inspiration and, with a wave of his sleeve, took out dozens of spiritual treasures that he had obtained at the Treasure Dividing Cliff.

Upon witnessing this scene, the powerful beings in the world who were observing the battle through the cloud mirror had burning eyes, and their breathing became heavier.

I really wish I could put myself in their shoes!

With so many innate spiritual treasures, I'm not afraid I won't be able to achieve the Great Dao.

Nuwa, standing to the side, was equally shocked.

Although he knew that Yuanshi and Tongtian were very powerful.

But this is way too exaggerated!

Thinking about herself again, Nuwa couldn't help but sigh, "She is my own flesh and blood after all."

Comparing goods will only lead to discarding them; comparing people will only lead to ruin.

Qin Tian never expected that Tongtian and Yuanshi would be so sensible.

He took out all his belongings at once.

Looking at the innate spiritual treasures flying in the air, each one was exceptionally beautiful.

A surge of passion welled up in Qin Tian's heart.

Without hesitation, he took one spiritual treasure from Yuanshi Tongtian and another from Yuanshi Tongtian.

A mirror. And a small hammer.

"Alright, put them all away."

"These few items are enough for me."

Although the items Qin Tian brought were all quite remarkable, Yuanshi and Tongtian didn't mind at all; on the contrary, they were very happy.

This gentleman finally managed to get the matter over with.

Upon seeing Yuanshi, Tongtian breathed a sigh of relief, while Qin Tian chuckled inwardly.

Sure enough, I wasn't wrong about this approach; it's all about being unreasonable and being aggressive.

Otherwise, we wouldn't be receiving the treatment we have now.

Thinking of this, Qin Tian didn't bother with further explanation and looked directly at Nuwa. Fuxi said:

"There's something I need to inform you about as usual. Before the great battle, Di Jun went to the underworld to visit me."

"He made a deal with me, exchanging the Heavenly Court for me."

"This is a contract."

As he spoke, Qin Tian tossed a piece of yellow paper radiating a fiery aura to Nuwa and Fuxi.

After reading the contents of the paper and sensing the aura left by Di Jun, Fuxi felt as if the sky had collapsed.

They thought that their demon race had won this great battle.

After all, the Wu Clan was reduced to only one Ancestral Witch, Gonggong, and if Qin Tian hadn't intervened, none of them would have survived.

As for the demon race, although they lost two peerless emperors, Di Jun and Tai Yi, Kunpeng was still alive, and so was he.

Of the other ten demon saints, nearly half survived, in addition to Nuwa's existence.

It can be said that the demon race's apparent strength has surpassed that of the witch race.

But once this contract is signed, there's no way we can win.

Their home was gone, and Di Jun and Tai Yi, the two pillars and faiths of the demon race, had both died.

It is impossible for the demon race to coalesce into a single rope again.

Thinking of this, Fuxi sighed, looked at Qin Tian, ​​cupped his hands and said, "Great Venerable, in this battle, all the elites of our demon race have been sent out, and only a few minor demons from the Heavenly Court have remained to guard the battlefield."

"Could you give me a moment so I can bring those little demons out?"

Qin Tian nodded and waved his hand, indicating that Fuxi could leave on his own.

Immediately, he tore open a space, and in a flash, disappeared from Buzhou Mountain and returned to the Underworld.

The three who remained in place—Yuanshi, Tongtian, and Nuwa—exchanged glances and then simultaneously let out a long sigh.

After sighing, the three felt a sense of shared misfortune, so after a long chat, they went to Kunlun Mountain together.

...

"Can't you just rest and recover properly?!"

"Why do you have to go out and cause trouble? Aren't you afraid that Hongjun will turn against you and attack you?"

As Houtu spoke, she used the power of the Earthly Reincarnation to help Qin Tian stabilize his injuries, her eyes filled with heartache.

Qin Tian shook his head: "It's not that I don't want to properly recover from my injury."

"It's that I can't turn a blind eye."

"Do you know what terrible things would have happened to the world if I hadn't gone out just now?"

"I don't want to know." Houtu rolled her eyes. "All I know is that if you go out again, even the cycle of reincarnation in the underworld won't be able to suppress the injuries in your body."

"At that time, not only Hongjun, but he will also be unable to resist dealing with you."

"Even sages like Yuanshi, Tongtian, and Nuwa would absolutely want to kill you."

Qin Tian chuckled awkwardly; he could tell that Houtu's words were quite emotional.

"Houtu, rest assured, for the next ten thousand years, I will never leave the underworld and will stay here in this cycle of reincarnation."

Hearing Qin Tian's assurance, Hou Tu knew that Qin Tian was probably just trying to comfort her, but she still couldn't help but smile, looking very happy.

Seeing Houtu's radiant smile, Qin Tian seized the opportunity to continue the conversation.

But then, Houtu suddenly glared at him and said expressionlessly, "Don't think I don't know what you're up to."

"Let me tell you, your approach won't work on me."

"No matter what, I will not let you out. Even if the sky falls outside, it's none of our business."

"I know you care about the human race."

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Styx, I will help you guard it."

"In short, for the next ten thousand years, you stay here and heal your wounds."

"When humanity is restored, I will accompany you into the cycle of reincarnation."

After saying this, Houtu did not give Qin Tian a chance to speak at all, and directly used her authority over the underground passage to seal off the place where Qin Tian was located.

Unless one possesses the power to destroy the underworld in a single blow, there is no way to break through it.

Seeing this, Qin Tian opened his mouth again and again, wanting to say, "There's no need for this. I'm not a prisoner. Why are you locking me up like this?"

But after thinking about it, he ultimately didn't say it.

For him, ten thousand years was the entirety of his life.

But in the world of Shrouding the Heavens, he witnessed the life of Emperor Ye, from the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin to the final battle on the plateau and the ascent to the highest point.

The years that passed were incredibly long.

Outside the formation, seeing Qin Tian obediently listening and using his internal energy to heal his injuries, Hou Tu felt a great weight lifted from her heart.

They then summoned the Lord of the Styx and persuaded Hou Yi, thus initiating a series of actions.

She was making plans, even though Qin Tian said that after the Lich War, the human race was destined to become the protagonist of the world.

Houtu felt that it wasn't that simple, especially since the human race would have to overcome many difficulties if they wanted to become the protagonist of the world.
