Changes in Fortune, Houtu Realizes the Dao
After seeing off the Queen Mother of the West, Cihang felt a sense of lightness throughout her body.
This time, through the Faith Incarnation, I gained another understanding of Karma and good karma.
If not forced to, Cihang would not want to incur favors or karmic Karma.
Having understood Karma, Cihang felt that her own cultivation speed had increased somewhat.
At the same time, Cihang vaguely sensed that a great opportunity was about to befall her.
Through her connection with the Evil Corpse, Cihang discovers that the Netherworld is nearing completion, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation are about to manifest.
"The Six Paths of Reincarnation! This opportunity is absolutely not to be missed!"
With a change of heart, Cihang left Mount Luojia once again.
Once again setting foot in the Primordial World, Cihang also kept a close eye on the changes Primordial World.
Although the previous calamity of the human race was devastating, it did not cause any damage to the heavens and earth due to the strength of the human race.
Completely gone, the Primordial World bears no trace of its former self.
Only the human race still remembers that deep-seated hatred.
Even after ten thousand years, the human race has still not recovered its former strength.
Despite his best efforts to protect them, the human race still suffered nearly 70% casualties.
However, the human race did not become decadent as a result, but instead became more resilient and tenacious.
Even when their living environment became more severe, they did not complain or blame others, but instead tried their best to adapt.
Humans are not only the race with the highest reproductive rate, but also the most adaptable.
Looking at these humans who are working hard for the development of humanity, Cihang couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.
While humanity has grown stronger, the price has been too high.
This is the tragedy of being a pawn.
Even the future protagonists of the world are subject to the influence of many powerful figures, and the battlefield is where gods vie for profit.
Although Cihang wanted to accelerate the growth of the human race, he did not do so.
If the human race develops too rapidly at this time, it will inevitably lead to instability in its foundation.
Everything in excess is as bad as deficiency, just like this calamity that has befallen humanity.
Appropriate guidance and assistance are the best approach for humans.
As for the demon race that occasionally harasses the human race, it is also a test of the human race's strength.
Moreover, the main players in this world are currently the Witch and Demon Clans, while the human race is still in the stage of accumulating strength. Developing too quickly would not be a good thing for the human race.
In addition, Cihang also discovered a change concerning herself.
The one who contributed the most to this great calamity for humanity was undoubtedly Cihang.
Taiqing and Nuwa not only failed to help the human race, but were also the instigators of this calamity.
Logically speaking, after the great calamity, Cihang's prestige among the human race should have greatly increased.
Indeed, this was the case when the human race rebuilt; among the three temples, Cihang even held the foremost position, with its incense burning continuously.
However, as time went by, the human race seemed to have gradually forgotten about Cihang.
The once-thriving temple was forgotten and abandoned.
The Five-Colored Race faced numerous restrictions when moving among humans.
This is not because humanity is ungrateful, but because Taiqing and Nuwa feel threatened.
Cihang possesses one-tenth of the human race's destiny, which is due to the merit of creating humans and the destiny of the Five-Colored Human Race.
This portion of fate remains unchanged, but that doesn't mean Cihang's fate is unchanging.
As his prestige among humans increased, so did his fortune.
However, this affected the fortunes of Taiqing and Nuwa.
Naturally, they did not want to see such a thing happen, so they acted simultaneously to eliminate Cihang's influence on the human race.
"Have you felt threatened by my presence?"
Cihang couldn't help but reveal a mocking expression.
Although Taiqing was displeased with Cihang and Nuwa's actions, he did not take any action.
Upon discovering these things, he immediately recalled the Five-Colored Human Race and allowed them to cultivate and comprehend the Dao in peace on Mount Luojia.
Too much of a good thing is bad; this applies not only to humans but also to Cihang.
While showcasing one's strengths at the right time, one must also know when to make choices and when to yield.
Isn't this a warning from Taiqing and Nuwa to him?
This is not the time to directly confront the sages.
Moreover, no matter how much they suppress her, the destiny inherent in Cihang remains unchanged.
Suppressing her thoughts, she realized that matters concerning the human race were not urgent; the most important thing now was for Houtu to transform into a being in the cycle of Houtu.
Although Cihang did not know where Houtu was now, she did know that the place Houtu attained enlightenment was the Netherworld Blood Sea.
Before the establishment of the underworld's cycle of reincarnation, the Blood Sea was the only entrance to the Netherworld.
Cihang headed straight for the Blood Sea, intending to await Houtu's arrival.
For the Primordial World, Houtu's transformation into reincarnation was an unparalleled act of merit.
But for Houtu, this was a tragedy.
The Witch Race reveres Pangu and takes pride in their bloodline.
Although Houtu performed great deeds and did not truly perish, without her bloodline and physical body, could she still be considered Witch Race?
After her body was reincarnated, Houtu never saw any other Ancestral Witch again.
Then she witnessed the destruction of the Witch Race, which must have been incredibly cruel for Houtu.
Houtu transformed into the cycle of reincarnation, controlling the rebirth of all spirits in heaven and earth, but she could not save the Witch Race.
In fact, Cihang had also hesitated about whether to help Houtu and prevent these tragedies from happening.
But Cihang abandoned the idea as soon as it arose.
It's not that he doesn't want to, but that he can't.
Houtu's transformation into reincarnation is the natural order of heaven and earth, unchangeable and irreplaceable.
When Pangu failed to attain enlightenment, the Primordial World was incomplete.
Houtu is a descendant of Pangu, and naturally inherited his will and mission.
He, Cihang, did not possess the power to defy the will of Heaven and Earth.
The Lich War was also beyond his ability to stop.
Although he couldn't bear Houtu's fate, he had to face reality.
In a flash, Cihang arrived at the Blood Sea.
From afar, Cihang heard the roars of all spirits.
The once relatively calm Blood Sea is now filled with malevolent energy and countless chaotic remnant souls.
These remnant souls include demons, but most are human.
They drifted unknowingly above the Blood Sea.
With each wave that surges forth from the Blood Sea, countless remnant souls perish.
Yet, the dead continued to gather in the world, their numbers increasing rather than decreasing.
Seeing this, Cihang couldn't help but frown.
As the Netherworld gradually matured, its power to gather true souls and spirits became increasingly stronger.
But the main reason so many wronged souls could gather was because of the previous incident.
Although he had tried his best to save those souls, it was still very limited compared to the entire human race.
Because of her own path to enlightenment, Cihang's mind was also affected. Looking at these departed souls, Cihang's sorrow grew even stronger.
The White Lotus Purification Curse operates autonomously, manifesting the Purification Divine Domain behind him, with countless living beings chanting along.
At the same time, white lotuses sprouted and spread towards the Blood Sea.
At that moment, Houtu appeared in the Blood Sea, her face filled with boundless compassion.
Even as Ancestral Witch, Houtu, who controls the Earth Power, cannot help but exude a fierce aura.
Now, Houtu is filled with nothing but endless compassion and pity.
Moreover, with the arrival of Houtu, countless spirits of the dead gathered around her.
Influenced by Houtu's aura, the spirits of the dead gradually regained their senses.
After bowing to Houtu, he disappeared into the world with a relieved expression.
Seeing this scene, Houtu felt an overwhelming will rise within her.
That is the Pangu's Will that remains in the bloodline of the Witch Race.
As soon as Pangu's Will was unleashed, all sorts of principles of the Dao flowed into Houtu's heart.
In a Houtu, Houtu also realized the way of herself.
