I Knew It Wouldn't Be That Easy...
Many local deities and Mountain God were suddenly startled, and their souls were suddenly filled with a little information.
The next moment.
They were all visibly surprised.
In a daze, they saw a great city standing in the dim mist... They also felt that their own Divine Talisman had gained some new abilities, allowing them to connect to the Underworld...
At the same time, responsibilities also arise:
Guide the souls of the dead into the Reincarnation!
Immediately, a local deity tried it, and in an instant, a passage to the Underworld was opened. After the soul was sent to the Underworld, Earthly Dao Merit from the underworld descended from the darkness...
The deities suddenly realized the truth.
As mentioned before, with this Authority falling into the Earthly Dao, the Earthly Dao was immediately made more perfect and Earthly Dao power stronger!
After sensing this, Dao Ancestor Hongjun frowned even more deeply, but ultimately said nothing... and fell silent once more.
Seeing this,
The people of the Primordial Wilderness looked at each other in bewilderment!
Regarding Zhen Yuanzi's attainment of the status of Earthly Dao sage, some exclaimed in surprise, some were displeased, but most expressed envy...
Taiyi clicked his tongue a few times in amazement.
Then, out of curiosity, I asked:
"Brother, are we just going to let this go?"
"Are the Heavenly Dao Saint really just going to abandon this?"
Di Jun shook his head helplessly.
Tube?
How should it be managed, and on what basis should it be managed?
Zhen Yuanzi was determined to side with the Witch Clan and the Earthly Dao Clan. Even if the Sages were dissatisfied, what could they do?
"Now the Witch Clan is even more troublesome!"
Di Jun sighed inwardly.
As for the absence of Houtu the Twelve Ancestral Witches, does this mean the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Array is incomplete, and the Witch Clan has lost another trump card?
I've never thought of it that way before!
Those who think like that... have they forgotten Wu Tian? Given his position in the Witch Clan and his strength, Di Jun simply doesn't believe he can't replace Houtu...
I'm thinking about it right now.
Taiyi suddenly started shouting again:
"Brother, Zhen Yuanzi has already become a Saint of the Earthly Dao... Do you think the Ancestral Witch might just stay in the Underworld and never come out again?"
Di Jun was taken aback.
That makes sense... If the Witch Clan retreats, wouldn't the great calamity naturally be resolved?
But that was just a thought.
This idea was immediately dismissed by Di Jun!
What are you thinking about?
"As long as Mount Buzhou remains in this Primordial World, the Ancestral Witch will die here... they cannot go to the Underworld!"
Di Jun was even angrier that Taiyi led him astray, so he smacked him hard on the head, causing Taiyi to gasp in surprise!
In the Underworld.
Not long after that.
Zhen Yuanzi finally stabilized his realm, quickly withdrew his Primordial Origin energy, and then bowed to Empress Pingxin with a joyful expression:
"Thank you, Your Empress Pingxin!"
Empress Pingxin nodded slightly.
Wu Tian and the Ancestral Witch all looked at Zhen Yuanzi with smiles on their faces and said happily:
Congratulations!
"Today I have finally attained enlightenment..."
Zhen Yuanzi smiled and returned the gesture with a cupped-hand salute, feeling quite pleased with himself and increasingly moved.
Who would have thought...
He, Zhen Yuanzi, followed the Witch Clan and actually became an Earthly Dao saint!
He looked at Wu Tian with a deep gaze.
At this moment, Empress Pingxin's gaze shifted and landed directly on the Ancestral Witch, looking thoughtful...
Upon seeing this, Wu Tian's heart stirred.
With the position of the Great Emperor Fengdu settled, shouldn't the next ones be the Ten Yama Kings? Besides Houtu and him, there are eleven Ancestral Witch, so there's no need to worry about not having enough to go around. Xuan Ming can be appointed separately...
Xuan Ming holds the Innate Red Hydrangea, which is the convergence of Karma, and directly acts as Meng Po to cleanse the Karma of the deceased souls! The remaining ten Ancestral Witch correspond exactly to the Ten Yama Kings!
"But..."
Are my brothers willing?
Thinking of this, Wu Tian suddenly felt a surge of impulse. He had been planning for so long... all to change the Witch-Demon Tribulation.
The Ancestral Witch are all still alive today.
The locations for the Earthly Dao have all been planned...
Since that's the case, why not just leave them in the Underworld? And bring all the Witch Clan to the Underworld, with the Ancestral Witch becoming Yama, and the sons of the Witch Clan filling the Three Offices and Six Bureaus, collecting souls and judging ghosts? Wouldn't that be great?
Why bother returning to the Primordial World?
Will it get involved in the upcoming Tribulation?
If the Ancestral Witch agree, the calamity of the Witch Clan will naturally be resolved, and the matter that has been planned for so long will come to an end in one day...
Wu Tian's eyes lit up more and more as he thought about it!
He immediately got up.
Looking towards Dijiang, he said with piercing eyes:
"Brother, Sister Houtu has transformed into the Reincarnation and created the Underworld. Now the Underworld is empty and in need of rebuilding. We can't just stand by and watch, can we?"
"In my opinion, why don't you... become the Yama?"
"At that time, our Witch Clan will also..."
Dijiang frowned slightly.
The smile on his face vanished!
Just as Wu Tian was about to continue speaking, Dijiang raised his hand to interrupt him, saying with utmost solemnity:
"Little brother, stop talking!"
"I know what you're thinking... but we certainly can't stay in the Underworld! The world created by the Father God is one we must protect; how can we back down in the face of difficulties?"
Wu Tian was speechless.
He had a thousand words in his heart, and he could continue arguing with Dijiang, but seeing Dijiang's solemn appearance, he really couldn't say them!
Dijiang continued:
I know what you're worried about!
"Isn't it just the Witch-Demon Tribulation? See how well we've been listening to you lately, and haven't had any conflicts with the Demon Clan race?"
"But if we were to simply withdraw from the Primordial Wilderness and slink away to the Underworld, it would be a disgrace to the name of the Witch Clan!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
Then other Ancestral Witch began to shout:
"Good!"
"Even if we, the Witch Clan, were to die, we would never surrender; to retreat to the Underworld now would be tantamount to surrendering to the Heavenly Dao!"
"We are unwilling..."
Having said all that, Wu Tian's face immediately turned bitter, and he thought to himself:
"Sigh, I knew it..."
"It's not that easy!"
Wu Tian sighed inwardly and looked up to see Empress Pingxin smiling at him.
His eyes seemed to be asking Wu Tian:
Are you discouraged?
Wu Tian slowly shook his head.
He had actually been prepared for this for a long time. If the Ancestral Witch were so easily changed, they wouldn't be Ancestral Witch; in fact, his plan wasn't like this from the very beginning!
Isn't this the perfect time?
Wu Tian was immediately tempted to take a "shortcut"... but was quickly thwarted by the stubbornness of the Ancestral Witch...
At this moment, Dijiang felt a little embarrassed. Wu Tian had done so much for the Witch Clan, yet he had so resolutely refused!
He then quickly said to Wu Tian:
"Little brother, don't be angry... You said the other elder brothers all listen to you, retreating from the Primordial Wilderness is really not an option!"
How about this?
"After we return, each tribe will select some young men from the Witch Clan... and have them serve in the Underworld first?"
It was extremely strange that Dijiang, who was usually so rough and even spoke to other Ancestral Witch with a slap, was speaking to Wu Tian in such a "humble" manner!
But the Ancestral Witch were not surprised.
They even looked embarrassed...
Wu Tian also laughed:
"Brother, I know... I didn't consider everything properly, and I was too hasty!"
Then he said to Empress Pingxin:
"It seems the positions of the Ten Yama Kings will have to remain vacant for now, until Your Goddess finds a suitable candidate..."
Empress Pingxin gently shook her head.
"That's not necessarily true!"
