Twelve Divine Fiends Protect the Human Race
Although the Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods was initiated by the Heavenly Dao, the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man are inherently inseparable.
Houtu and Zhenyuanzi could not remain completely uninvolved.
Indeed, if they didn't want to intervene, the great calamity wouldn't affect them.
Zhenyuanzi used the Earth Book to bestow titles upon countless earth deities, and those who already held divine positions were not originally subject to this calamity.
Houtu is the ruler of the underworld, with a status comparable to Hongjun, and can sit back and watch the great calamity unfold.
However, if they truly ignore the outbreak of the great calamity, they will miss their opportunity, allowing the Heavenly Dao to gain more power.
In order to improve the tunnels and strengthen their own authority, they could not truly ignore the situation.
"Fellow Daoist Zhenyuan, we still need to rely on you to be appointed as the God of the Earth."
Houtu will also do her utmost to help!
Although Houtu wields more power in the underground realm than Zhenyuanzi possesses the supreme treasure Earth Book.
"Houtu Daoist Houtu, rest assured, this concerns the authority and future of the Underworld; Zhenyuanzi will do his utmost!"
Zhenyuanzi did not refuse.
Having already gained experience from the previous conferment of Investiture of the Gods, Zhenyuanzi was able to accomplish this task well.
Cihang was not involved in their scheme.
In his view, the two of them were doing a good job and didn't need his intervention.
But then he remembered something else.
The reason why Nuwa failed to revive Human Dao was largely due to Houtu.
Innate Spiritual Treasure are born before heaven and earth, and each one has a different destiny and mission.
Especially those top-tier spiritual treasures, which are closely related to the Primordial World.
For example, the Three Books of Heaven, Earth, and Man, though not supreme treasures, contain the authority of the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man.
The Heavenly Book of Investiture of the Gods the Gods was always in Hongjun's hands, which led to the calamity of the Investiture of the Gods.
The Earth Book was born alongside Zhenyuanzi, and after the Earth God was enfeoffed, it reached a level comparable to a supreme treasure.
The fact that the underground passage was able to recover first was not only because Houtu seized the opportunity, but also because of the help from Zhenyuanzi and the Earth Book.
The Human Book of Life and Death is controlled by Houtu, who also uses it to wield some authority over Human Dao.
Without this authority, it wouldn't be so easy for Nuwa to revive Human Dao.
Furthermore, it's clear that Houtu will not proactively and selflessly help Nuwa in the future relationship between Nuwa.
Without the Book of Life and Death's assistance, it would be even easier for Nuwa to revive Human Dao.
Despite thinking this, Cihang had no intention of saying anything to remind her.
The revival of Human Dao could indeed rapidly improve the Primordial World, but he did not expect that he could resolve the Karma feud Witch and Demon Clans with a single word.
Having determined the path forward, Zhenyuanzi immediately took his leave to prepare for the next step of bestowing titles upon the earthly deities.
Houtu, on the other hand, did not leave with Zhenyuanzi.
As soon as Zhenyuanzi left, Houtu stood up and solemnly bowed to Cihang in gratitude.
"Fellow Daoist, what are you doing? Why are you performing such a grand gesture!"
Cihang quickly stood up and helped Houtu, who was bowing.
"This bow is completely acceptable to you, fellow Daoist."
If it weren't for you, my brothers would have perished long ago.
It was you, fellow Daoist, who spared them a chance to live!
Houtu said with some excitement.
Houtu also paid attention to Cihang's previous battle.
The other cultivators were all amazed by Cihang's strength and the power of the Great Array of All Heavens' Fiend Gods.
Only she noticed that the All-Heavenly Divine Fiend had undergone a complete transformation.
Upon it, they sensed the aura of the Ancestral Witch's true spirit.
Even though she hadn't fully recovered, it had given her a real opportunity.
"Fellow Daoist, there's no need for you to be so polite with me. I also have a close relationship with Fellow Daoists Di Jiang and others."
Given the ability to do so, Cihang is naturally willing to offer some assistance.
Moreover, Cihang has only gathered some remnants of true spirit at present, and is still a very long way from truly recovering!
Looking at Houtu, Cihang once again marveled at the kinship among the Ancestral Witch.
Of the countless cultivators in the Primordial World, very few would disregard their own safety to scheme for the benefit of others.
Cihang wasn't sure if anyone would go to such lengths for him if he were the one who was robbed.
"If it weren't for you, fellow Daoist, I wouldn't even have seen this sliver of hope!"
Houtu couldn't help but feel fortunate once again that she had trusted Cihang and hadn't taken back the All-Heavenly Divine Fiend Banner.
Even if she possessed the power of reincarnation, she could not achieve what Cihang did.
"Fellow Daoist, there's no need for such politeness. Even if you truly wish to express your gratitude, you should wait until Fellow Daoists Di Jiang and the others have truly returned!"
Cihang said with a smile.
Compared to Nuwa, Cihang's attitude towards Houtu was extremely good.
Her wisdom and strength were no less than Nuwa's, but she valued loyalty even more than Nuwa.
"Fellow Daoist Cihang, is there any other way to help my brothers recover quickly?"
Humans are always greedy, Houtu is no exception.
Initially, she only hoped that the Twelve Ancestor Witches would have a sliver of hope, but after seeing their vitality restored, she wanted them to recover quickly.
"It is faith, of course. As long as there are enough believers in him, more fragments of true spirit can be gathered, accelerating their resurrection!"
Now that a great calamity has broken out, and all living beings are filled with fear and unease, this is the perfect opportunity!
The resurrection of the Ancestral Witch would also be of great benefit to Cihang.
Through continuous contact, Cihang discovered that although these Ancestral Witch were impulsive and easily angered, they were also the most clear about their gratitude and grudges.
Anyone who can help them recover is their best adversary.
Moreover, this process also allows for the continuous improvement and enhancement of the Twelve Heavens Array of All Fiends.
Now that Houtu has brought up this matter, Cihang has already taken out the Ancestral Witch statue that he had prepared.
These statues were all crafted from Innate Spiritual Items, and each contained a trace of the essence of the Ancestral Witch.
As long as one obtains enough merit and faith, one can autonomously absorb fragments of the Ancestral Witch spirits of the world.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Cihang."
"Fellow Daoist's actions are a blessing to my entire Witch Race. Once my brother is resurrected, we will repay your great kindness with all our might!"
Although Cihang said there was no need to be polite, Houtu still excitedly bowed to Cihang in gratitude.
Looking at those statues, it was clear that Cihang had made preparations in advance.
"Time is of the essence, so Cihang will not linger any longer, fellow Daoist. Please make the arrangements as soon as possible!"
The sooner these statues can fulfill their proper function, the sooner my fellow Daoists, including Di Jiang, can return!
After bowing to Cihang in gratitude once more, Houtu departed with great emotion.
Without Cihang needing to say more, Houtu already understood how to arrange these statues.
Humanity is the current protagonist of the world, possessing the strongest destiny and being the one most in need of protection from powerful beings.
The Witch Race had already joined the human race, and they used the human race's fortune to return to the Primordial World.
At the very beginning of the great calamity, Jiu Feng had already led the Witch Race cultivators to guard the human race and prevent them from being affected by the calamity.
Now all he needs to do is hand over these statues to the Witch Race cultivators and use them to display divine power, thereby gaining the fortune and merit of the human race.
This is not a difficult task for the Witch Race today.
Moreover, the statues that Cihang refined were themselves spiritual treasures, capable of gathering the power of the Twelve Ancestor Witches to protect the human race.
The more living beings are worshipped, the more powerful the idol becomes.
