The Witch Tribe Enters the Underworld, Hongjun Is Numb (Part 2)

At this moment...

Aside from Hongjun...

The other Great Powers of the Primordial Wilderness had also been watching the situation in the Underworld.

For instance, Xuan Yang was likewise watching this scene.

Therefore...

After seeing the bodies of the Eleven Ancestral Witches appear near Houtu's phantom...

A satisfied smile also appeared directly on Xuan Yang's face.

He knew... this time, it was definitely in the bag...

Houtu must have successfully persuaded the Eleven Ancestral Witches to join the Underworld...

Otherwise, there would have been no need for such a grand display.

Therefore...

Xuan Yang continued watching with eager anticipation.

As for Hongjun...

Upon seeing the Eleven Ancestral Witches appear, his expression could not help but change slightly.

Though he was not yet certain, he had probably guessed what the other Eleven Ancestral Witches intended to do.

This gradually made him feel somewhat panicked...

However...

Even so, this was not something he could directly stop.

Thus, he could only continue watching from within Purple Heaven Palace.

Meanwhile, on the Underworld's side.

At this very moment, as Houtu's phantom and the Eleven Ancestral Witches appeared at the same time...

Houtu directly cast her gaze toward the Ancestral Witches.

"My brothers and sisters..."

"Let us begin..."

The Ancestral Witches all nodded at Houtu.

Then, as if of one mind, they exchanged glances.

Afterward, they began to speak one after another. Their resounding voices echoed throughout the entire Primordial Wilderness at this moment!

"Great Dao above!"

"Father God Pangu above!"

"Let the Primordial World bear witness!"

"Today... we Eleven Ancestral Witches, having perceived the incompleteness of the Earth Path and the difficulty of the Six Paths of Reincarnation in operating in an orderly fashion..."

"Are willing to withdraw from the Primordial World and enter the Earth Path!"

"From this day onward, we Ancestral Witches are willing to contribute to the orderly operation of the Underworld."

"The sons of the Witch Tribe shall do the same!"

The voices of the Ancestral Witches instantly spread throughout the entire Primordial Wilderness.

And throughout the Primordial Wilderness...

After hearing the words spoken by the Ancestral Witches...

All living beings and Primordial Wilderness Cultivators were utterly shocked.

Within the Primordial World.

Countless living beings of the Primordial Wilderness began discussing the matter fervently.

After all, with the Witch Tribe making this decision, the entire balance of power in the Primordial World would be directly transformed afterward.

What had originally been the Witch Tribe and Demon Race jointly ruling the Primordial Wilderness would directly become the Demon Race standing alone at the top!

Thus, countless living beings of the Primordial Wilderness began discussing this matter...

Naturally, the Great Powers were also discussing it.

For instance, on the Sun Star, Di Jun and Taiyi were both very satisfied with this outcome.

It was not that they wished to dominate the Primordial Wilderness or anything...

Rather, after reading the diary for so many years, they knew what outcome would result if the Witch Tribe and Demon Race continued their standoff...

So, this kind of outcome was indeed something they had greatly desired...

On the other side...

Within Empress Wa's Palace...

Fuxi directly gave Nuwa an expression that said, "See? I told you so."

Fuxi smiled as he spoke to Nuwa. "What do you think, little sister..."

"Your brother did not lie to you, did he?"

Nuwa replied helplessly, "As expected of my brother..."

"I admit that I am inferior."

Fuxi burst into laughter again.

Of course...

The atmosphere within Purple Heaven Palace at this moment was completely different from everywhere else.

After all...

For Heavenly Dao Hongjun...

He was also extremely unwilling to see the Witch Tribe join the Earth Path.

Though he dreamed of the Witch Tribe dying sooner, of them fighting the Demon Race sooner, and then perishing together through mutual destruction...

Whether they joined the Earth Path was another matter entirely...

The Witch Tribe could die, but they could not join the Earth Path...

Because if they did, the Earth Path would truly begin developing directly.

Thus, after witnessing this scene, Heavenly Dao Hongjun continuously pondered how he should disrupt things...

But the problem was...

No matter how Heavenly Dao Hongjun thought or calculated...

He could never come up with a suitable solution.

There was nothing he could do. How could he possibly stop something like this?

Now that the Witch Tribe was voluntarily joining the Earth Path, and the Earth Path was not ownerless, how could it be his place to make reckless comments?

Thus, the more Heavenly Dao Hongjun thought about it, the more his head hurt.

In the end, he could only sigh in extreme helplessness.

"Damn it!"

Naturally, over on the Underworld's side...

After the Ancestral Witches made their declaration...

It was Houtu's turn to perform.

Above the Underworld, after the voices of the Ancestral Witches faded, Houtu quietly replied, "Good."

Then, with a flick of her finger, streams of Earth Path merit rained down upon the bodies of the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Witch Tribe as though it cost nothing.

Houtu then spoke directly:

"Now that the Earth Path has only recently been established, the Underworld is vacant..."

"Many positions remain unfilled, with no one to oversee them."

"Since the Ancestral Witches are willing to join the Underworld, I shall naturally grant them positions."

"Di Jiang Ancestral Witch shall be appointed Great Emperor Fengdu, commanding all ghosts and overseeing underworld judgments and Reincarnation!"

"Zhu Rong, Gong Gong, Ju Mang, Qiang Liang, and Xuan Ming shall be appointed the Five Directional Ghost Emperors, each governing one of the five ghost domains."

"..."

Houtu began continuously assigning lofty and powerful positions to the Ancestral Witches and Great Witches.

Even...

For some ordinary members of the Witch Tribe...

So long as they were capable...

So long as they were wise...

Houtu would find them some minor official position to hold.

For a time...

The positions that had originally been extremely vacant within the Underworld were filled as Ancestral Witches assumed office one after another...
