Reunited with Houtu, Hope for the Ancestral Witches

Watching Cihang leave, Nuwa couldn't help but show a look of disappointment.

Her hushed apology this time was undoubtedly a plea for Cihang's help once again.

Unfortunately, Cihang remained unmoved.

Don't you care? How could you really not care?

It's just that I no longer trust her.

But even if she knew, what could she do? She couldn't turn against Cihang.

Now it is she who needs Cihang's help, not Cihang who needs him.

Cihang has long since passed the point where she needs to rely on the power of others.

Now, Cihang's own strength alone is enough to make anyone dare not underestimate it.

Fortunately, although there was some friction between her and Cihang, they did not become enemies.

Nuwa could only keep trying to win Cihang over, hoping to gradually erase the resentment in Cihang's heart.

This is the best opportunity to assist Fuxi in ascending to the throne of the Human Emperor.

Nuwa withdrew her thoughts, stopped thinking about it, and instead focused more of her energy on the human race.

Cihang is right. If Fuxi wants to become the true Human Emperor, he must sever all ties with the demon race.

Nuwa also held extremely high expectations for Fuxi's future.

Previously, Nuwa would have been quite content with just the position of a Human Emperor.

Although the Human Emperor is not a saint, he is equivalent to half a saint. His own destiny is connected with that of the human race, making him immortal and granting him supreme honor.

But now, she hopes even more that Fuxi can attain sainthood.

He is not Heavenly Dao Sage, but Human Dao Saint.

Fuxi becoming the Human Emperor was an excellent boost to her efforts to accelerate the awakening of Human Dao.

Nuwa immediately set about without hesitation, raising the Monster Summoning Banner to sever the last connection between the demon race and Fuxi.

At this moment, even the Demon Race Xi Huang completely relinquished my title as the past.

Nuwa then arranged for Fuxi to be reincarnated continuously among the human race.

This allows Fuxi to fully acknowledge everything about the human race.

As Fuxi continued to reincarnate, the Karmic Debt Karma he carried gradually dissipated.

Although Fuxi was not yet the Human Emperor, the fortune of the human race was constantly gathering.

In each of his reincarnations, he achieved extraordinary accomplishments; even if he was not a tribal leader, he made remarkable contributions to the tribe.

The connection between Fuxi and the human race deepened.

At the same time, the Three Pure Ones also gathered at Shouyang Mountain to discuss the succession of the Emperor's tutor.

Nuwa exchanged her position as Imperial Tutor for Fuxi's status as Human Emperor.

The Two Sages of the West were once again excluded by them Nuwa.

Under such circumstances, the position of tutor to the Emperor naturally fell into the hands of the Three Pure Ones.

When faced with external enemies, the Sanqing united as one.

However, after the external enemies withdrew, the Sanqing also clashed repeatedly due to their own interests.

The key point is that, following the original trajectory, although Taiqing Leader of the Human Sect, he did not have absolute control over the human race because he lost the Kongtong Seal.

Under such circumstances, his suppression of Yuanshi and Tongtian is also weakening infinitely.

The controversy almost escalated to the point of physical confrontation, yet it still failed to achieve the desired outcome.

Ultimately, everyone has to rely on their own methods.

Although the Sanqing did not turn against each other because of this, the estrangement between them grew deeper and deeper.

On the other side, as soon as Cihang returned to Mount Luojia, he saw Houtu, who was already waiting there.

"I was unaware of your arrival, and I hope you will forgive any neglect in my hospitality!"

Upon entering the Life Temple, Cihang immediately apologized to Houtu.

"Fellow Daoist, you're too kind. There's no need for such formalities between us."

I've come here because Hongjun suddenly summoned the Six Saints and fellow Daoists, wanting to know what happened.

But has the world changed? I hope you can inform me!

Although Houtu's strength is not as great as Hongjun's, because of her underground location, her status is no less than Hongjun's.

Moreover, given the constant conflict between the two paths of Heaven and Earth, it's understandable that Hongjun didn't invite her.

However, Houtu could not remain ignorant of this, lest she be schemed against by the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun once again.

"The reason why the Dao Ancestor has summoned us this time is to discuss the future trends of the world."

A new era has begun, and naturally, new protagonists will emerge.

Cihang had nothing to hide about this; even if he didn't say anything, Houtu would soon be able to sense the changes in the heavenly secrets.

"Indeed, the human race is the future protagonist of the world."

"Our Witch Race has ultimately been abandoned by Heaven and Earth, utterly reduced to a discarded pawn!"

Although she had expected it, Houtu still couldn't help but show a look of disappointment.

The Witch Race are descendants of the Father God Pangu. Since their establishment, the Witch Race has been perfecting the Primordial World order with their own bloodline laws.

Aside from their conflict with the demon race, what wrong have the Witch Race done?

Seeing Houtu's expression, Cihang didn't know how to comfort her.

The fact that they were descendants of Pangu was both an advantage and the fundamental reason for the decline of the Witch Race.

Pangu has ultimately perished, and the will of Heaven will not allow his descendants to dominate the Pangu Primordial World.

As for the Sanqing?

Although they claim to be the Pangu Orthodox Lineage, are they still considered descendants of Pangu today?

He abandoned the Great Dao inherited from Pangu and instead worshipped the Heavenly Dao to cultivate the Xuanmen Immortal Arts.

If Pangu were still alive, he would probably clean house immediately, stripping them of their fortune and origin.

"Very well, it's better for the human race to become the protagonist of the world than for the demon race!"

Houtu doesn't actually need comforting.

She wasn't blind to these things; she just felt resentful.

But what can she do if she's unwilling to accept it? She's powerless to change anything now.

However, she wouldn't stay like this forever. She regretted her efforts in cultivation, and one day, no one in this world would be able to scheme against her or her Witch Race.

"Fellow Daoist Cihang, Houtu has another matter to inquire about today."

Fellow Daoist, do you know if my brothers have truly perished?

Houtu's expression changed, and she looked at Cihang nervously.

Unlike all other cultivators in the Primordial World, the true spirit of the Witch Race is integrated with their physical body. Once they perish, they will directly return to heaven and earth and merge into the origin of heaven and earth.

Therefore, after the Ancestral Witch perished, they did not leave behind their true souls.

Houtu was unwilling to let the Ancestral Witch perish like this. Even if the hope was slim, she wanted to try to see if she could bring the Ancestral Witch back to life.

Even if we can't do it now, we might be able to do it in the future.

She will continue to work towards this goal.

But when Houtu gathered the essence and blood of the Ancestral Witch, she discovered that the aura of the Ancestral Witch had disappeared from the world.

Even if the Ancestral Witch had perished, her aura wouldn't have dissipated so quickly.

No matter how hard Houtu searched, she couldn't find any trace of it.

It was as if the Ancestral Witch like Di Jiang had never appeared in the Primordial World.

There are only two possibilities for this situation to occur.

Firstly, the Witch Race had already completely perished, leaving no trace of life.

Another possibility is that a powerful being intercepted the life force of the Ancestral Witch beforehand.

Compared to the first scenario, Houtu naturally looked forward to the second outcome.

"Houtu Daoist Houtu and the Ancestral Witch truly share a deep brotherly and sisterly bond!"

As she spoke, Cihang summoned the Myriad Immortals Diagram, and the familiar aura of the All-Heavenly Divine Fiend emanated from it throughout the hall.

At the center of the Myriad Immortals Diagram, twelve long banners jingled, upon which twelve ferocious giant beasts appeared.

That was the true form of the laws of the Twelve Ancestor Witches.

"Brother!"

Houtu exclaimed in surprise, and tears welled up in her eyes.

That was not just the All-Heavenly Divine Fiend Banner, but also a collection of the essence and aura of the Ancestral Witch.
