The Wu Clan's interests above all else!

Houtu nodded, her mood gradually calming down.

Preserving Buzhou Mountain is indeed much easier than preserving the entire Primordial Wilderness.

"Elder Brother, you said you would maximize the interests of the Wu Clan."

"What... should we do now?"

Houtu's beautiful eyes were filled with deep doubt.

Since the decision has been made to abandon most of the Primordial Wilderness and let it shatter in the struggle Saint.

What benefits could the Wu Clan possibly gain from protecting Buzhou Mountain?

Zhou Ming looked at her calmly, as if he were recounting something perfectly ordinary.

"After the Primordial Wilderness shattered, countless fragments would inevitably be separated from its Primordial Wilderness True Body and scattered into the Chaos."

"At that time, what we need to do is collect as many of these Primordial Fragments as possible."

Upon hearing Houtu, Houtu almost subconsciously followed this line of thought.

Collecting Primordial Fragments?

A thought struck her, and she blurted it out.

"Elder Brother, do you intend to... rebuild the Primordial Wilderness?"

"Remelting these fragments, while unable to completely compensate for the losses of the Primordial World, could at least slow down the dissipation of the Father God's Will?"

If that's the case, then it's indeed a great Merit and the best course of action for the Wu Clan Establishment.

However, this project is far too vast, and even with the current strength of the Wu Clan, it is impossible to complete it entirely.

However, Zhou Ming slowly shook his head after hearing her idea.

He looked at Houtu, a hint of an enigmatic smile in his deep eyes.

Why rebuild the Primordial Wilderness?

"Reforging the primordial Primordial Wilderness may slow down the dissipation of the Father God's Will, but it cannot maximize the interests of my Wu Clan."

His question left Houtu completely stunned.

If it wasn't for rebuilding the Primordial Wilderness, then what was the purpose of their elder Elder Brother's efforts in collecting those shattered fragments of the world?

"What exactly does my Elder Brother want us to do by collecting Primordial Fragments?" Houtu couldn't help but ask.

"Sister Houtu, have you forgotten?"

"We still have the Pangu Realm."

Pangu Realm!

Upon hearing these three words, Houtu's heart skipped a beat.

In an instant, countless chaotic thoughts and clues were forcibly linked together by these three words.

A grand blueprint that deeply impressed her slowly unfolded before her eyes.

She looked at Zhou Ming with some disbelief, as if trying to confirm whether she was mistaken.

Zhou Ming ignored the astonishment on her face and continued explaining to himself.

"You must understand that every fragment peeled away from the Primordial Continent contains the purest Primordial Origin."

"That is the purest and most superior resource for strengthening a world!"

"If we were to refine all these fragments, which contain the Primordial Origin, into the Pangu Realm..."

Zhou Ming paused, giving Houtu time to think, before continuing.

"The Pangu Realm can, in an instant, transform from illusion into reality, evolving into a true and complete world!"

"By then, the fully transformed Pangu Realm will be able to bear a portion of the Father God's will."

"As long as the Father God's will takes root within the Pangu Realm..."

"At that time, my Wu Clan will truly be invincible!"

"No matter how much the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun destroy the Primordial Wilderness, it will have no fundamental impact on our Wu Clan."

Houtu was completely stunned.

So that's what my Elder Brother's real plan was all along!

It's not about passively defending, nor is it about trying to rebuild from scratch after the Primordial Wilderness.

Instead... it's a radical solution!

It is through this Tribulation brought about by the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun, and through the shattering of the Primordial Wilderness, that a world-shaking transformation, belonging only to the Wu Clan, can be completed!

Seeing her shocked expression, Zhou Ming slowly revealed the final piece of his plan.

"Furthermore, once the Pangu Realm has grown to a certain size, we can even relocate Buzhou Mountain to the Pangu Realm as well!"

"At that time, the Pangu Realm Primordial Wilderness!"

"A primordial world... entirely under the control of our Wu Clan, beyond the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dao, and untouched by Hongjun's Primordial Wilderness, belonging solely to our Wu Clan!"

Pangu Hall, a deathly silence fell once again.

Houtu stared blankly at Zhou Ming, her beautiful eyes filled with indescribable complex emotions.

She had always thought that she understood her Elder Brother's deep-seated thoughts and plans.

But only today did she realize that what she had seen might only ever be the tip of the iceberg.

Use the fragments shattered from the Primordial Wilderness to nourish the Pangu Realm!

Transfer the Father God's Will from the Primordial World to the world of the Wu Clan!

They even want to claim Buzhou Mountain, the backbone of the Primordial Wilderness world, for themselves!

What a crazy, audacious idea!

This is no longer about calculating the gains and losses of a single Tribulation.

This is... stealing the power of the entire Primordial Wilderness!

After a long while, Houtu finally recovered from the boundless shock.

"Elder Brother..."

"You... you've had this idea for a while now, haven't you?"

"Using the Primordial Wilderness to nourish the Pangu Realm..."

"You simply took advantage of this Investiture of the Gods Tribulation to put your pre-existing ideas into practice."

Zhou Ming did not deny it at all, and nodded frankly.

"Good."

"No matter how wonderful the Primordial Wilderness may be, it is ultimately not ours."

"The Heavenly Dao still prevails; our Wu Clan is merely a part of it."

"We cannot truly, completely control it."

"Moreover, as long as we live in this world, we must always be wary of the schemes and sabotage from the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun."

"But the Pangu Realm is different."

"That is the world I created, and we have complete control over everything within it."

"Within the Pangu Realm, neither the Heavenly Dao nor Hongjun could interfere in the slightest."

"That is the true foundation that belongs to our Wu Clan."

Zhou Ming's gaze became incredibly profound.

"If we don't actively destroy the Primordial Wilderness, we will be tainted by boundless Tribulation Karma will harm the Fortune of our Wu Clan and may even backfire on the legacy left by our Father God."

"I already refined a portion of the Primordial Continent into the Pangu Realm long ago, why wait until today?"

"Now that Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao have taken the initiative to destroy this world, and those high-ranking Saint are the ones who are doing the work..."

"There are always people vying to do the dirty and hard work."

"They will also bear the consequences of all karmic Karma Karma."

"For my Wu Clan, all we need to do is reap the rewards of victory at the end."

"Such a golden opportunity, why should I waste it?"

These words were spoken with such self-righteousness and such cold-blooded ruthlessness.

It was like the Primordial Wilderness about to shatter, and the billions of living beings that would turn to ashes in the Tribulation.

In his eyes, it was all just about Great Witch clan and improving the resources of the Pangu Realm.

Houtu remained silent.

The last trace of reluctance and hesitation in her heart vanished in the face of Zhou Ming's words.

yes.

My Elder Brother is right.

Since the destruction of the Primordial Wilderness was already unavoidable.

Since the Karma of destroying the Primordial Wilderness does not need to be borne by the Wu Clan.

Therefore... maximizing the interests of the Wu Clan seems to be the only correct choice.

"Elder Brother is right." Houtu slowly exhaled a breath of turbid Turbid Qi, and the reluctance and entanglement in her heart completely vanished.

"Since the destruction of the Primordial Wilderness is inevitable, all we can do is seek the greatest benefit for the Wu Clan."

Zhou Ming nodded approvingly.

"Good, it's good that you've figured that out."

"The interests of the Wu Clan are paramount."

As for the Primordial Wilderness...

Zhou Ming stood up, walked to the entrance of the Pangu Hall, stood with his hands behind his back, and gazed at the vast expanse of heaven and earth outside the hall.

"When I reach the level of the Father God someday."

"There are ways to bring back the Primordial Wilderness, or even... make it more glorious."

Houtu quietly looked at Zhou Ming, at her Elder Brother's calm profile.

At that moment, she suddenly felt that her Elder Brother might be even more terrifying than the Heavenly Dao or Hongjun.

The schemes of Heavenly Dao and Hongjun were aimed at breaking free from their shackles and taking control of the Primordial Wilderness.

The Elder Brother's scheme, from beginning to end, had only one purpose.

That is to place the Wu Clan above everything else.

For this purpose, even the Primordial World created by the Father God could become a pawn in his plan.

"Elder Brother, what should we do now...?"

Houtu asked softly.

Zhou Ming withdrew his gaze, a smile playing on his lips.

"Now? We don't need to do anything."

"We'll just... watch the show."
