"Don't pull such a long face. Let me show you something." Li Xinghe patted Ancestor Five Elements on the shoulder, looking like an older brother comforting his little brother.
Afterward, Li Xinghe used the Chaos Shovel to manifest the River of Time and the River of Destiny.
Ancestor Five Elements was stunned. Another Chaos Supreme Treasure, and one he had never even heard of.
But that was not what shocked him most. What truly shook him were Li Xinghe's Law of Time and Law of Destiny.
The powers of the two strongest Demon Gods who had vanished into Chaos had actually appeared within the same person.
"This old man is convinced." Only now was Ancestor Five Elements truly convinced.
"Don't rush. Take some more time to comprehend them," Li Xinghe continued.
Ancestor Five Elements observed for a while longer. After a long time, his expression gradually turned solemn.
He, Ancestor Five Elements, had been reincarnated from a top-level Chaos Demon God, yet there was no trace of him in the future.
In other words, according to his original fate, he would soon perish. Perhaps Hongjun would have killed him this time.
Although Li Xinghe had forced him to eat the fruit of the Karma Tree, he had actually saved his life.
"So he was a dying man. Godfather, why did you save him?" Xuan Ming did not forget to twist the knife.
Ancestor Five Elements glanced at her and immediately saw through her origins. Even a being formed from Pangu's Essence Blood recognized Li Xinghe as her godfather. One could imagine how deep his foundation was.
"If you do not despise me, I am willing to acknowledge you as my godfather." Ancestor Five Elements actually shamelessly joined in.
"Get lost, old man. Look how old you are." Li Xinghe kicked him flying.
They were both Chaos Demon Gods, so why was Qian Kun so tough while Ancestor Five Elements was so shameless?
He could not really be blamed. There was no sign of his future in the River of Time, so anyone would be anxious.
At that moment, Ancestor Five Elements suddenly felt his mind become utterly clear. The oppressive feeling from before seemed to have vanished.
"Look again!" Li Xinghe had already used the Law of Destiny to change a few things.
His intervention in the battle between Hongjun and the Five Elements Demon God had already changed many things. This was merely something he did in passing.
Ancestor Five Elements naturally understood what had just happened.
"I, the Five Elements Demon God, swear from this day onward to be loyal to Li Xinghe. Let the Great Dao bear witness!"
This was the highest-level oath of a Chaos Demon God. Great Dao is Impartial; once he broke his oath, he would certainly be destroyed by the Great Dao's Divine Punishment.
"All right, leave this place. The Primordial World is not something you can covet. Cultivate properly. With your talents, you will surely shine brilliantly in the Primordial World."
He had gained another top-level Demon God. What a delight.
"Godfather, his pagoda is quite pretty!" Houtu suddenly said as she looked at the Five Elements Pagoda.
This pagoda contained a powerful Five Elements Origin. As the Ancestral Witch of Earth, Houtu naturally sensed the mysteries within it.
Ancestor Five Elements was instantly reduced to tears. Though everything besides life and death was merely a scratch, this wound had come far too suddenly.
"Old Five, what do you think?" Li Xinghe looked helpless. Why call his daughter Houtu? Thickskin would suit her much better.
"Since the two young ladies like it, take it and play with it!" Ancestor Five Elements said with a pained expression.
Li Xinghe laughed heartily. This old fellow was quite amusing. Taking him in had been a good choice.
"I have already obtained the Five Innate Banners. This is your natal spiritual treasure, so you should keep it. Oh, right, that Qiankun Demon God is one of mine too. If you meet him in the future, you can look after each other."
Seeing Li Xinghe's casual manner, Ancestor Five Elements was deeply shaken. So he was not the first top-level Demon God to be subdued.
"Thankfully, I'm not the only one who lost face." Ancestor Five Elements consoled himself.
Afterward, Li Xinghe did not interfere with Ancestor Five Elements's freedom. He merely told him to be careful if he encountered Hongjun or Luohu.
At present, those were the only two people in the Primordial World who truly concerned him.
One would become the future Lord of Primordial, while the other would become even more terrifying than Hongjun for a time.
Moreover, after the conflict between immortals and demons, Luohu's whereabouts became unknown. This demon might not have truly died.
With the Five Innate Banners in hand, he had made an enormous gain: five Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, and they were even a set.
Five of the Twelve Ancestral Witches were proficient in the Five Elements laws. When the time came, if those five Ancestral Witches joined forces with the Five Innate Banners, they would be terrifyingly powerful.
Meanwhile, Hongjun was both shocked and enraged. That hidden meddler was utterly hateful, repeatedly snatching treasures right before his eyes.
When combined, the Five Innate Banners were comparable to an Innate Supreme Treasure. If he could obtain them, his strength would increase greatly as well.
According to the Primordial Wilderness's original course, part of the Five Innate Banners would have fallen into Hongjun's hands.
Presumably, when he killed Ancestor Five Elements, the five banners would have been scattered, with several falling into the hands of others.
But now they had all benefited Li Xinghe. Upon returning to Pangu Temple, he gave the Central Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner to Houtu and told her to refine it properly.
He gave the Eastern Green Lotus Treasure Color Banner to Ju Mang, the Ancestral Witch of Wood.
He gave the Southern Ground-Leaving Flame Light Banner to Zhurong, the Ancestral Witch of Fire.
He gave the Western Plain Colored Cloud Boundary Banner to Ru Shou, the Ancestral Witch of Metal.
He gave the Northern Xuan Yuan Water Controlling Banner to Gong Gong, the Ancestral Witch of Water.
"Godfather, now that we all have treasures of our own, can we go out and explore the Primordial Wilderness?" Zhurong had a fiery temper and had long been unable to endure the loneliness.
"The Primordial Wilderness is far too dangerous. Do you know that Godfather snatched these treasures from a Chaos Demon God? That person was already a Hunyuan Golden Immortal." Xuan Ming tried to persuade them.
"What? That terrifying?" Zhurong immediately lost his temper.
"That's right. That Chaos Demon God was even being chased down and beaten. If Godfather had not intervened, he would have died long ago," Houtu added.
"I heard that the leaders of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Races are all at the Middle Golden Immortal of the Origin realm, and their Accompanying Spiritual Treasures are close to Innate Supreme Treasures."
The two female Ancestral Witches kept recounting what they had seen outside, and the other Ancestral Witches immediately fell silent.
Going out would be courting death. They should keep lying low. Until they reached the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm, they absolutely would not leave Pangu Temple.
Li Xinghe nodded in satisfaction. It was not that he worried about the safety of the Twelve Ancestral Witches. After all, they were Pangu Orthodox, and in a future era, they would become the protagonists of heaven and earth.
What he mainly feared was that these fellows would clash with the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Races. If the Witch-Demon Calamity began ahead of time, all his arrangements would be wasted.
The current Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Races were not groups that even many Chaos Demon Gods dared provoke.
"You must cultivate diligently. Sooner or later, the Primordial World will belong to you." Li Xinghe encouraged them.
He himself headed deeper into other parts of Buzhou Mountain. No one knew how vast Buzhou Mountain was; it supported heaven and earth.
Many treasures in the Primordial World had been born here. It could be said that this place was equivalent to the center of the Primordial World.
But he had not come out this time to seek treasures. He was seeking people.
After some divination, he finally found a pair of siblings living in seclusion within Buzhou Mountain: Fuxi and Nuwa.
The two bore immense Fortune and both possessed the potential to Become Saint.
The siblings had remained hidden in Buzhou Mountain until Hongjun became a Saint and preached at the Purple Heaven Palace, when they finally emerged into the world.
Later, Nuwa became Hongjun's disciple, while Fuxi perished unexpectedly after becoming involved in the Witch-Demon Calamity and was reincarnated into the Human Race.
It was Fuxi whom Li Xinghe had his eye on. By rights, he possessed even greater Talent than Nuwa, but his luck was poor.
He was skilled in divination, yet could not see through his own future. If Li Xinghe could take Fuxi in, he could bind Nuwa, a future Saint, to his side, while also preventing the Demon Clan from gaining another powerful expert in the Witch-Demon Calamity.
