The Human Race and the Netherworld Join Forces

Fortunately, Yuanshi, Laozi, and the others knew that they were in the Zixiao Palace, so they only stated their attitudes toward the Human Race and did not argue over their differing opinions.

After the four finished expressing their views, they all looked at Hongjun. Their attitude towards the Human Race only represented themselves, and the final outcome would depend on their master's choice.

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Hongjun said expressionlessly, "Currently, within the Primordial World, it is not only the Human Race that has transcended the boundaries set by Heavenly Mandate's Mandate."

"You were born as Heavenly Dao Sage, meant to oversee the Primordial World on behalf of the Heavenly Dao. Why then do you all imitate Fuxi, focusing your attention solely on the Human Race? Is there something within the Human Race that you all desperately want?"

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi, Laozi, Jieyin, and the others were immediately terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. They quickly bowed their heads, admitted their mistakes, and apologized.

Seeing the four people's sincere attitude, Hongjun's expression softened slightly. Tongtian's betrayal was always a thorn in Hongjun's side.

Although Hongjun now Human Race extremely displeasing and hates Fuxi to the core, he does not want his many disciples to focus all their attention on the Human Race.

So Hongjun took the initiative to change the subject, talking about the Witch Clan and the Netherworld.

"Human Path has always been governed by Fuxi. Currently, Fuxi's cultivation is not weak, and none of you are his match. Your master still needs to go into seclusion to merge with the Dao. Why don't you broaden your horizons a bit?"

"For example, why doesn't any of you have any designs on the Netherworld where the Witch Clan resides?"

Netherworld?

Laozi, Jieyin, and the others looked at each other, all showing signs of difficulty.

"Master, now that the souls of the Twelve Ancestral Witches have all returned to the Netherworld, and Pingxin, who was transformed from Houtu, is no weaker than us in cultivation within the Netherworld."

"If we rashly step into the Netherworld, I'm afraid we would not be a match for those Twelve Ancestral Witches."

"Not a match for you?" Hongjun snorted coldly upon hearing this. Such remarks almost made him laugh in anger.

"Since the Mending the Heavens, the origin of the Primordial World has been reshaped. Now, the Witch Clan, which suppressed the turbid energy, has left the Primordial World, the Earthly Dao is weak, while the Heavenly Dao is flourishing. You, born as Heavenly Dao Sage, are you not a Pingxin opponent to Pingxin, who relies on the Earthly Dao for existence?"

"I'm afraid you're simply too afraid to try, thinking it's still during the Witch-Demon Calamity."

Heavenly Dao prosperous, while Earthly Dao is weak?

Although Laozi, Jieyin, and the others had vaguely sensed this before, and their cultivation and enlightenment had become much easier than before, they dared not be certain because the Dao of Heavenly Dao is unpredictable.

At this moment, Hongjun spoke, confirming their inner suspicions.

Inside the Zixiao Palace, besides Hongjun, Jieyin, Zhunti, Jieyin and Zhunti, Laozi were facing each other in pairs, exchanging secrets.

"Senior Brother Jieyin, since the Earthly Dao is now weak, it seems that Pingxin will no longer be a match for the two of us. Why don't we leave Zixiao Palace later and go to the Netherworld to investigate and carefully check the location of that destined aura from last time?"

"Can."

In the blink of an eye Jieyin and Zhunti finalized their plans to go to the Netherworld, having set their sights on the Fortune of the Earthly Dao. Since the Human Race could not interfere, they would change their target.

"Brother, according to Master, we can try to intervene in the Earthly Dao Fortune within the Netherworld."

"There's still something amiss with this matter. Perhaps Jieyin and Zhunti and Zhunti investigate first, then we can discuss it further."

"Alright."

Laozi and Yuanshi quickly made up their minds, intending to Jieyin Zhunti and Jieyin as scouts.

For a moment, everyone in the Zixiao Palace had different thoughts.

At this moment, in the Netherworld.

Houtu, who had transformed into the Empress Pingxin, was leading the Ten Ancestral Witches, who had transformed into the Ten Yama Kings, and Gonggong to thank Fuxi.

Over the course of a thousand years, Fuxi had already begun planning to slowly send the Witch Clan through the Myriad Heavens and Worlds Passage within his body into the Myriad Heavens and Worlds.

Currently, the Witch Clan is unable to establish itself in the Primordial World due to Hongjun's schemes. The Twelve Ancestral Witches are worried about how to settle the remaining Witch Clan when they suddenly learn that Fuxi has a solution, and they are overjoyed.

So the Twelve Ancestral Witches, led by Houtu, came to thank Fuxi.

"Brother Fuxi, I'm troubling you again this time."

Gonggong blushed and said somewhat shyly.

The reason why the Witch Clan is now completely rejected by the Primordial World is largely due to his final act of ramming into Buzhou Mountain, which nearly caused the collapse of the Primordial World.

"It's alright. Now that Hongjun has merged with the Heavenly Dao, both the Human Path, which I govern, and the Earth Earthly Dao, which the Netherworld represents, are thorns in his side."

"Mutual assistance is the right thing to do."

Fuxi smiled and accepted the favor from Gonggong, then changed the subject and returned to business.

"Speaking of which, the Heavenly Court has recently been recruiting Heavenly Soldiers and Generals on a large scale from among the myriad races, clearly indicating that it is already preparing for war."

"Such a grand undertaking must have been instructed by Hongjun, but it's a pity that the secrets of Heavenly Secrets are so chaotic that we can't deduce its origin."

"Houtu, are the Netherworld Constables of the Netherworld now allowed to set foot among the myriad races of the Primordial World? There are some information that the Human Race cannot obtain; we may need to trouble the Netherworld Constables of the Netherworld."

"This is simple. Currently, the myriad races of the Primordial World are almost completely unprepared for the people of our Netherworld."

Houtu smiled and agreed to the cooperation.

Over the past thousand years, the Netherworld and the Human Race have cooperated extensively, and the connection between the two, representing the Earthly Dao of the underworld and the Human Path, has deepened continuously. Together, they have put pressure on the way of Heavenly Dao, causing the Heavenly Dao to become increasingly weak.

Just like now, after Houtu and Fuxi agreed on a plan, the Earthly Dao and the Human Path grew stronger again, while the Heavenly Dao was squeezed and became increasingly weak.

The changes in the Heavenly Dao alarmed Hongjun, who was listening to his disciples discussing how to divide the Netherworld's Fortune within the Zixiao Palace.

Hongjun sensed the changes in the Earthly Dao and the Human Path, his expression shifting several times. Finally, he gritted his teeth in exasperation and said, "The fortunes of the Earthly Dao and the Human Dao Fortune have changed. It must be that Fuxi and Pingxin made some kind of agreement. Right now, the Earthly Dao and the Human Path are joining forces to press down on the Heavenly Dao, and their power is considerable."

Did Fuxi cooperate with Na Pingxin?

Laozi, Jieyin, and others did not have the same sensitivity to the Heavenly Dao as Hongjun, and were unable to immediately perceive the undercurrents between the Primordial World, Earthly, and Human Dao in the primordial world.

But the news of Fuxi and Pingxin joining forces still startled them. They had just been preparing to test the waters, wondering if they could get a share from the Netherworld, when the Netherworld suddenly allied with the Human Race?

The combination of the Netherworld and the Human Race makes them arguably the most powerful force in the primordial Primordial World.

"Master, if the Netherworld and the Human Race unite, what should the Heavenly Court do?" Laozi asked, addressing the most crucial question.

The Heavenly Court's plan had already been launched, and the bad reputations of the Human Race and the Interception Sect had long since spread among all races. They were also prepared to wage war against the Human Race once their master emerged from seclusion.

But now that the Human Race and the Netherworld have joined forces, if a real war breaks out, they probably won't be able to win!

"The Heavenly Court should continue to follow the current instructions. Even though the Human Race and the Netherworld are currently united, a great war is already inevitable. You should all be prepared."

Hongjun replied without hesitation.

Seeing their master's firm attitude, and knowing that a great battle was inevitable, Jieyin and the others quickly inquired about other matters.

"Master, although Fuxi has many backup plans and the human Human Race is thriving, the number of Human Race's Daluo Golden Immortal level experts is still very small."

Why doesn't Master increase the restrictions on advancing to the Daluo Golden Immortal?

Zhunti's scheme was insidious, but after deep thought, Hongjun shook his head and said, "After I merged with the Heavenly Dao, it would indeed increase the difficulty of my tribulation. However, this matter is far-reaching, and if it really comes to fruition, it won't just be about facing the Human Race anymore."

"This..." Zhunti quickly shut his mouth. He had recently taken in many disciples, but none of them had yet become Daluo Golden Immortals.

He couldn't let his own disciple down.

"Master, why don't we ignore the Human Race for now and focus our attack on the Netherworld, defeating them one by one?"

After thinking for Jieyin, Jieyin tentatively asked.

Hongjun remained silent for a moment upon hearing this, then sighed and said, "Now that the Earthly Dao and the Human Path in harmony, they are no longer as weak as before. When you face Pingxin again, just like the Witch-Demon Calamity, you will no longer be able to deal with them easily."

At this point, Hongjun's heart was filled with rage.

Because Fuxi made the Black Tortoise merge with heaven and earth, although he was in harmony with the Heavenly Dao, his strength did not increase significantly.

Otherwise, they could have directly suppressed Pingxin, then sent Laozi, Yuanshi, Jieyin, Jieyin and Zhunti, and others into the Netherworld to divide up the Earthly Dao Fortune, thus changing the current situation where the Heavenly Dao is suppressed by the Earthly Dao and the Human Path, leaving it weak and powerless.

Just as he had planned it all along.

Unfortunately, all of this was disrupted by Fuxi, leaving him constrained in every way.

Thinking of this, Hongjun gritted his teeth in hatred and harbored even more resentment towards Fuxi.
