As Long as Buzhou Mountain Stood, the Problem Would Not Be Too Great!
Zhou Ming looked at Houtu Tu's face, which was filled with shock and disbelief, and simply said calmly.
"The true purpose of Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao is to shatter the Primordial Wilderness."
Houtu wanted to see even a hint of a joke on Zhou Ming's face.
But no.
On his Elder Brother's face, there was only an unchanging calm.
Why... why did they do this?
"This world is the embodiment of the Father God; how dare they!"
Zhou Ming sighed softly and explained slowly.
"It is precisely because this world was created by the Father God that they want to destroy it."
"Once the Primordial Wilderness is shattered, it will no longer be able to bear too much of the Father God's Will."
"The will of the Father God will thus gradually weaken until it completely dissipates."
"Only when the Father God's Will completely disappear will the Heavenly Dao truly break free of its final shackles and be able to truly rest easy."
"At that time, the Heavenly Dao will no longer need to fear our Wu Clan."
Houtu's heart sank little by little.
yes.
What is the greatest asset of the Wu Clan?
It was not a powerful physical body, nor was it the Pangu True Body condensed from the Twelve Divine Fiend Formation.
Netherworld, it is the Pangu's Legacy of Pangu that shrouds the entire Primordial Wilderness and protects the Wu Clan, the eternal and indestructible will of the Father God!
It is precisely because of the existence of the Father God's Will that Heavenly Dao has always been hesitant to act against the Wu Clan, and dared not go too far.
But if the Primordial Wilderness shatters, Father God's Will dissipates...
Houtu dared not think any further.
"Without the protection of the Father God's Will, relying solely on the Father God True Body condensed by the Twelve Divine Fiend Formation and the Earthly Dao, we might not be able to reliably defeat the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun."
"Moreover, Pingxin Sister, you haven't fully mastered the Earthly Dao yet."
"If we were to truly fight against the Heavenly Dao, in a desperate battle, the best outcome would likely be mutual destruction."
This is a very simple calculation.
Without the protection of the Father God's Will, the Wu Clan's situation will become extremely difficult.
Having figured out all the key points, Houtu could no longer remain calm.
A terrifying Baleful Qi surged from her body.
"Elder Brother, we must stop them!"
We must not let them break the Primordial Wilderness!
Zhou Ming looked at her, his expression unchanged, and simply asked a question.
"What do you think we should do to stop them?"
Houtu answered without hesitation.
"Of course, we must stop their fight!"
"I will go and warn the Three Pure Ones right now to ensure that this Tribulation is limited to those below the level of Saint!"
"No Saint should personally intervene!"
This is the most direct and effective method.
Unless the Saint personally intervenes, no matter how fiercely his disciples fight, it will never be able to shake the entire Primordial World.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ming shook his head.
Do you think they will agree?
Houtu remained silent.
yes.
How could they possibly agree to that?
The Clarify Sect and Interception Sect are now irreconcilable enemies.
Yuanshi Tianzun was determined to have his Jie Sect Disciple listed on the list in order to protect his own followers.
Under his Elder Brother's guidance, the Tongtian Sect Master also prepared to fight back and drag the Clarify Sect down with him.
Under such circumstances, how could it be possible to get them to stop fighting and make peace, limiting the conflict to the disciple level?
Moreover, their respective Dao Lineage are all related to their own Fortune and are closely connected to the cultivation of Saint.
Let them watch helplessly as their Dao Lineage perishes in the Tribulation.
His disciples were almost all killed or wounded, yet he stood by and did nothing?
That's absolutely impossible!
They will definitely take to the battlefield themselves to fight for that sliver of Dao Lineage for their lineage.
However, Houtu could not stand idly by and watch the Primordial Wilderness crumble.
The Primordial Wilderness is the last legacy left by the Father God, and the foundation upon which the Wu Clan depends for survival.
If the Primordial Wilderness were to shatter, the blow to the Wu Clan would be Destruction.
After a moment of silence, Houtu's temper flared up, and a domineering aura belonging to the Ancestral Wu emanated from her.
They have no choice but to agree!
"Our Wu Clan's strength far surpasses theirs. If they are unwilling, then we will suppress them all until the Tribulation ends!"
"If they dare to resist again, then so be it..."
A fierce glint flashed in Houtu's eyes.
"At worst... we'll just wipe them out!"
Since they are pawns in the destruction of the Primordial Wilderness, then destroy these pawns!
Zhou Ming looked at the murderous Houtu and shook his head with a wry smile.
"Killing them is not advisable."
"Killing them would only push them further to the opposite side of my Wu Clan."
"You must know that the Primordial Spirit of Saint resides in the Heavenly Dao, and is immortal and indestructible."
"Even if we manage to kill them once, they can be resurrected in the Heavenly Dao at any time."
"At that time, they will only hate my Wu Clan even more."
"If they hide and secretly oppose our Wu Clan, it will only cause us more trouble."
"A Saint who hides in the shadows is far more difficult to deal with than Saint who stands in the open."
"As for suppressing them, it wouldn't make much sense."
Zhou Ming paused for a moment, then continued to explain.
"Without the Three Pure Ones and the Two Saints of the West, do you think Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao wouldn't find other ways to destroy the Primordial Wilderness?"
If this Investiture of the Gods Tribulation doesn't work, then we'll wait for the next one.
If it doesn't work next time, wait until the time after that.
"They will never give up until they achieve their goal."
"They'll always find an opportunity if they want to."
"That's why I didn't try to stop this Tribulation from the very beginning."
"Because, you can't prevent it by simply trying to defend against it."
A purely defensive approach will only put you on the defensive and leave you vulnerable at every turn.
The murderous Baleful Qi in Houtu's heart gradually subsided.
yes.
It's unstoppable.
As long as Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao remain determined to Destruction the Primordial Wilderness, they will always find a way.
Killing or suppressing a Saint Saint won't solve the root problem.
Unless... the Wu Clan becomes powerful enough to suppress Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao as well!
But right now, it's clearly not possible.
"Are we just going to stand by and watch them destroy the Primordial Wilderness?"
Houtu's voice carried a deep sense of powerlessness and resentment.
She looked up at Zhou Ming, and a glimmer of hope rekindled in her beautiful eyes.
"Elder Brother, since you already knew about this, you should... already have a plan, right?"
Zhou Ming looked at her expectant expression and nodded calmly.
"Of course we cannot allow them to wantonly destroy the Primordial Wilderness."
"As for countermeasures... there's really no foolproof plan; we can only say we'll do our best."
All I can do is try my best to minimize the damage to the Primordial Wilderness.
Not that serious?
Houtu was somewhat puzzled.
Zhou Ming continued speaking.
"Although the Primordial Wilderness is damaged, the Father God's Will will weaken accordingly."
"However, as long as Buzhou Mountain stands, the Father God's Will will not disappear too quickly."
"What we need to do is protect Buzhou Mountain!"
"We cannot protect the entire Primordial Wilderness."
"However, preserving just Buzhou Mountain is still quite easy."
Protect Buzhou Mountain!
Houtu instantly understood her Elder Brother's intention.
The vast and boundless Primordial Continent was formed from the body of the Father God.
Buzhou Mountain, however, is the backbone of the Father God!
It is the core point of convergence of the Father God's Will on this Primordial Land!
As long as Buzhou Mountain still exists, the schemes of Heavenly Dao and Hongjun cannot be considered completely successful!
Zhou Ming's plan was simple and direct.
Abandon illusions and face reality.
Since we cannot stop the destruction of the Primordial Wilderness, let's settle for second best and safeguard the most fundamental bottom line.
"As long as Buzhou Mountain stands, the Father God's will remains grounded, and Heavenly Dao and Hongjun will always have something to fear."
"Under the premise of protecting Buzhou Mountain, we will then do our utmost to maximize the interests of the Wu Clan."
