Great Emperor Fengdu Reappears, the Witch Race's Future
Hongjun did not stop Cihang from leaving.
Although he had some plans in mind, the presence of all Six Saints made it an inappropriate time.
This time, he summoned Cihang to the Zixiao Palace mainly to show Cihang goodwill.
Allowing Cihang to enter Zixiao Palace alongside the other saints, to some extent, affirmed his strength and status.
The divine position of the Great Emperor Ziwei was also intentionally bestowed upon Cihang by him.
Otherwise, even if Cihang had achieved considerable success in Star Law, it wouldn't be this simple.
After all, there are only five supreme god positions, so how could the saints give them up so easily?
The reason why Hongjun valued Cihang so much was naturally because he had value that deserved to be valued.
Through Cihang's series of calculations and arrangements, the Earthly Path was completely revived, forming a delicate balance with the Heavenly Path.
The will and authority of Heaven were also subject to corresponding suppression and balance.
This is a huge threat to the Heavenly Dao.
But for Hongjun, it was not so.
Although the Heavenly Dao was suppressed, it actually gained more freedom.
Through the restoration of the tunnels, he also confirmed the feasibility of the plan.
As for cooperating and joining forces with Cihang, there is actually no need for that.
Because their goals and interests are aligned.
"You may all return now. As for the remaining Four Emperors positions, we'll see how things unfold in the future!"
Hongjun's indifferent attitude also suppressed the Six Saints, who each had their own thoughts, and they all respectfully took their leave.
The Six Saints were dissatisfied with their trip to the Zixiao Palace.
Although Hongjun consulted them, he completely ignored their opinions and arbitrarily decided on the selection of the Heavenly Emperor.
There are also the positions of the Six Emperors of Heavenly Court and the Underworld Authority.
They were unwilling to give up on anything.
But they were powerless to resist Hongjun.
Meanwhile, Cihang and Houtu had already returned to the Primordial World.
This great calamity of heaven and earth had a tremendous impact on the Primordial World.
Although the world is slowly recovering, the region has undergone tremendous changes.
The once unified primordial Primordial World now has clear dividing lines.
The Primordial World was also divided into four continents.
Among them, East Victory Divine Continent was the most prosperous, occupying nearly half of the Primordial World and encompassing the four seas and the original Buzhou Mountain Range.
This place is also a gathering place for most of the cultivators and powerful figures from the Primordial World.
Although South Continent is not as rich in spiritual energy as East Victory Divine Continent, it is still abundant in spiritual energy.
In contrast, West Ox Continent is extremely barren, and the influence of the Dao-Devil War has continued to this day.
Even with the Jieyin and Zhunti, there is still little fundamental change.
Northern Kuru Continent is indeed rich in spiritual energy, but it is also home to ferocious beasts from the Primordial Era.
Moreover, the entire Northern Kuru Continent was shrouded in miasma, almost devoid of life, and was an abandoned land.
'Although I have tried my best, the Primordial Origin has still been greatly depleted, giving rise to the Four Great Continents once again!'
Cihang was filled with emotion.
Although he has been trying his best to change things, his efforts are ultimately limited by his limited power.
The two traveled directly to the Reincarnation Divine Hall deep within the Netherworld.
What happened in the Zixiao Palace did not have much impact on them.
"Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on attaining sainthood! From this day forward, we know that you are the sole ruler of this Netherworld Underworld, and no one can threaten your position!"
Upon entering the main hall, Cihang greeted Houtu with a smile.
Although Houtu is currently only a sage, the Earthly Dao has enormous potential.
As the will of the earth was restored and strengthened, Houtu became another Hongjun in Primordial World Houtu.
"If it weren't for your painstaking planning, fellow Daoist, how could Houtu be where she is today?"
It should be Houtu who thanks you, fellow Daoist!
Houtu rose to return the greeting, her tone gentle yet filled with gratitude.
"You're too kind, fellow Daoist. You deserve all of this."
While he played a part in planning all of this, its true success was due to the efforts of Houtu and Zhenyuanzi.
"Fellow Daoist knows that I have already Three Corpses Unity and can no longer occupy the position of the Great Emperor Fengdu. Let these two spiritual treasures be returned to their rightful owner today!"
Then Cihang took out the Book of Life and Death and Death and the Judge's Brush, and presented them to Houtu.
Cihang agreed to enter the Houtu with Houtu in order to facilitate the transfer of Underworld Authority.
Although the underworld possesses immeasurable merit and fortune, Houtu is the true ruler of this Netherworld Underworld.
He previously established the underworld for the purpose of accumulating merit and also to enhance the cultivation and strength of the Evil Corpse.
Now that the three corpses have merged into one, the underworld is no longer so important to Cihang.
"No, the Underworld was built by you, Fellow Daoist. Even though you have now attained enlightenment, this cannot be changed!"
I already didn't know how to thank you, fellow Daoist, so how can I now reclaim the authority that belongs to you?
Moreover, as you know, my Witch Race is in dire need of responsibility; there is truly no one capable of fulfilling the duties of Fengdu.
Please continue to help me, fellow Daoist.
Houtu quickly refused and returned the Book of Life and Death and Death and the Judge's Brush's Pen to Cihang.
"Then Cihang thanks Houtu Daoist Houtu very much!"
Houtu's attitude was firm, Cihang did not insist on refusing.
He also knew that Houtu was doing this to repay a previous favor.
In that case, his acceptance of the Underworld Authority would actually put Houtu at ease.
Thinking of this, Cihang waved her hand and sent the Book of Life and Death and the Judge's Brush to the Fengdu Hall.
The power of faith in the Great Emperor Fengdu converged, merging with a wisp of Cihang's divine will, manifesting in the main hall a figure that bore a nine-tenths resemblance to Cihang.
"Let this Faith Incarnation take on the role of Fengdu, and govern the order and rules of the underworld!"
The Faith Incarnation is not simply Cihang, but rather the fusion of the Will of All Beings with a wisp of Cihang's divine will.
Compared to Cihang, the Faith Incarnation because of all sentient beings, and naturally has a responsibility and mission towards them.
Cihang never denied that he had his own selfish motives.
In comparison, the Faith Incarnation is more suitable for the position of Great Emperor Fengdu than Cihang.
He can also continuously absorb the power of merit and fortune through the power of the Faith Incarnation.
This would be killing two birds with one stone.
"Fellow Daoist, your superb abilities and methods are truly impressive. With this Faith Incarnation here, the underworld will be safe from now on!"
Houtu stood to the side, a look of admiration on her face.
She relinquished her Underworld Authority as a way of thanking Cihang, and it's also true that the Witch Race didn't have a suitable candidate.
Thinking of the Witch Race, Houtu couldn't help but show a sorrowful expression.
This great calamity wiped out almost all of the Witch Race, leaving them at a critical juncture of life and death.
Although she possessed immeasurable merit and was not afraid of the Karmic Debt of Karma, she had no clue how the Witch Race should develop and recover in the future.
Although the Netherworld Underworld was a good place, Houtu knew that it was not suitable for the survival and reproduction of the Witch Race.
If the Witch Race is confined to the underworld, their downfall is only a matter of time.
However, the Witch Race now has almost no foothold in the Primordial World.
"I know you are exceptionally wise; could you perhaps devise a way out for the Witch Race?"
Houtu looked at Cihang with anticipation in her eyes.
"Fellow Daoist is currently blinded by his own involvement. With your merits and fortune, you are more than capable of protecting the Witch Race."
As long as fellow Daoists are present, the Witch Race need not worry about the issue of succession.
However, this Netherworld is indeed unsuitable for the Witch Race's cultivation.
In fact, the suggestions made by the sages were quite feasible.
Although Northern Kuru Continent is a dangerous place, it is the most suitable place for the Witch Race to cultivate, and it is also the opportunity for the Witch Race to rise in the future!
