Houtu's Different Choice

The moment he broke through to the Dao, the Glass Realm completely merged with him, severing all ties with the Primordial World.

Mount Luojia became his only training ground in the Primordial World.

"Fellow Daoist, you're probably not here for a reunion, but rather for Di Jiang and the other Ancestral Witch?"

After inviting Houtu into the main hall, Cihang immediately asked her questions.

Although Houtu became the ruler of the earth, she also became busier as a result.

The Lord of the Earth is a supreme being in the Primordial World, but he also bears the responsibilities and missions that come with his status.

The reason why Houtu disappeared together with Hongjun and Nuwa was not only to consolidate their breakthrough realm, but also to reconcile the balance of the three paths of heaven, earth and humanity.

Especially at crucial moments of advancement in the celestial realm, they will only become busier and unable to extricate themselves.

Now that the world has just begun to stabilize, Houtu has appeared on Mount Luojia, which can only be for the sake of the Ancestral Witch such as Di Jiang.

"As expected, nothing can be hidden from you, fellow Daoist. I have indeed come here for the sake of my brothers."

If it weren't for fellow Daoists, they would have already perished and returned to the world.

However, they are too important to Houtu, so I hope you can forgive Houtu's selfishness!

Houtu's face showed a look of guilt.

She did not doubt Cihang, but she also knew the importance of the Twelve Heavens Array of All Fiends to Cihang.

Retrieving the Ancestral Witch's true spirit at this time would be a great loss for Cihang.

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need for that. Although I had my own selfish motives at the time, I genuinely wanted to leave a chance for Fellow Daoists Di Jiang and the others to survive."

They had used this technique to overcome crises on several previous occasions.

"Now is the time for you to return it to its rightful owner, fellow Daoist!"

With a wave of her hand, Cihang unfurled the Myriad Immortals Diagram, and the Twelve Heavenly Fiend God Banner detached from it, flying directly to Myriad Immortals Diagram 'Houtu front.

At this moment, the All-Heavenly Divine Fiend Banner possessed a spirituality that it had never had before.

At this moment, he didn't seem like a magical artifact, but rather like a real living being.

"Fellow Daoist Cihang..."

Looking at the banner of the All-Heavenly Divine Fiend before her, Houtu felt a surge of shame amidst her excitement.

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need for further explanation."

I helped several fellow Di Jiang, to reunite their true spirits. They helped me through several crises, and there is no question of anyone owing anyone anything.

Now that I have attained the Primordial Dao, my connection with them ends today!

Cihang felt no reluctance whatsoever.

As his cultivation level increased, the Twelve Heavenly Fiends Formation became negligible in its effect on him.

"Even so, if it weren't for you, my brother and the others, how could they have had such an opportunity?"

"No matter what, it's something my Witch Race owes you, fellow Daoist!"

Houtu was not unaware of Cihang's scheme, but she was still grateful.

"Given our relationship, there's absolutely no need for such formality."

If you continue like this, fellow Daoist, you're being too formal.

Unfortunately, despite my best efforts to restore them, the true spirits of my fellow Daoists, including Di Jiang, have not been fully restored.

However, with your current resources and abilities, it shouldn't be difficult!

I just wonder, how does Fellow Daoist intend to arrange things for Fellow Di Jiang and the others?

But should we, like Nuwa, help them achieve the Saint Position on the earthly path?

Cihang had no doubt that Houtu possessed the means to resurrect the Ancestral Witch, after all, Houtu was no longer the same as before.

But he still wanted to know Houtu's plans.

As the Lord of the Underworld, she can decide who holds the Saint Position of the Underworld.

However, there were as many as eleven Ancestral Witch. Even if the origin of heaven and earth was improving, the earthly path could not nurture so many Saint Position.

"I do indeed have this intention, but not to achieve Saint Position, but to divide the authority of Saint Position and help it to restore its original spirit."

"Evolve the twelve gods!"

Clearly, Houtu had made all the preparations before she arrived.

"Primordial Spirit, twelve deities?"

Cihang looked at Houtu in surprise.

"Indeed, they are the Twelve Earthly Gods."

The Witch Race has ultimately become a thing of the past, and its existence has lost its meaning.

I imagine even if my brothers knew, they wouldn't blame me!

When the Witch Race was mentioned, Houtu revealed a look of sadness.

From this day forward, the Witch Race will no longer exist in the Primordial World.

But she doesn't regret it!

As soon as Houtu finished speaking, the Pangu's True Spirit in Cihang's sea of consciousness also felt a strange tremor.

Suddenly, Cihang understood Houtu's choice.

"I see, Cihang impressed!"

Cihang looked at Houtu with admiration in her eyes.

Houtu's choice truly surprised him.

"We are not the Sanqing after all. Everything about our Witch Race comes from our Father God. Now that our Father God needs us, we are naturally willing to offer everything!"

Houtu suppressed her sadness, her eyes filled with determination and a sense of honor.

Of course, it also contained disdain for the Sanqing Ones.

"Houtu Daoist Houtu is truly righteous. Although Cihang can do nothing, I wish you all the best and that your wishes will be fulfilled!"

Cihang rose and bowed to Houtu.

He had previously said that all monks are selfish and no one would choose to sacrifice themselves for others.

But Houtu made this choice.

"It will definitely succeed. Father God has the merit of creating the world, he should not have fallen into such a state!"

Fellow Daoist, your ability to help me gather my elder brother's true spiritual energy is already the greatest help you can give to Houtu!

If fellow Daoists ever have any concerns or needs in the future, Houtu will certainly do everything in her power to help.

I hope you will forgive Houtu for Houtu her brother so much, so I will not stay here any longer!

Houtu rose and bowed solemnly to Cihang, then disappeared with the Twelve All-Heavenly Divine Fiend Banners.

Only Cihang, her face filled with emotion, remained.

The resurrection of Pangu was a crisis for the Sanqing, but it was no different for the Witch Race.

As descendants of Pangu, the Sanqing Ones received significantly more blessings than the Ancestral Witch.

Those who were transformed from the primordial spirit sensed Pangu's vitality from the very beginning.

But they never made any effort to bring Pangu back to life.

They even avoided the resurrection of Pangu for fear of harming themselves.

Even though they knew that the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun were suppressing Pangu's Will, they actively cooperated.

They fear that one day Pangu will rise from the dead and take back everything they have.

The Witch Race was different; for Pangu, they were truly willing to give everything.

This was Houtu's choice, and also the choice of all the Witch Race.

Cihang admitted that he could not do such a thing, but he greatly admired Houtu and the other Ancestral Witch.

Just as Cihang was sighing, a series of powerful fluctuations came from the underworld.

Immediately afterwards, twelve enormous phantom images of gods and demons appeared in the sky above the Netherworld.

It was the true form of the Twelve Ancestor Witches.

As Houtu's hand seals changed continuously, fragments of true spirits gathered from the heavens and earth.

Houtu further separated a wisp of her primordial spirit consciousness and infused it into the true form of the Earth Ancestral Witch.

To replace himself and achieve balance with the other Ancestral Witch.

That illusory true spirit thus becomes complete and solid.

Many cultivators initially thought that Houtu was deducing a grand formation.

But looking at the life force emanating from the Twelve Ancestor Witches, they realized that Houtu was resurrecting them.

And we have reached a critical moment.

Just when everyone thought that Houtu was going to restore his true form.

But Houtu began to gather the laws of heaven and earth and the will of the earth to help her rebuild her primordial spirit.

That's right, it's the primordial spirit, not the powerful physical body unique to the Witch Race.

Streams of pure blood and qi flowed out from the Ancestral Witch's body.

Before Houtu, it transformed into drops of essence blood, which eventually gathered in the blood pool in the Pangu Hall.

Not just the Ancestral Witch who are undergoing resurrection.

At this moment, all the Witch Race in the Primordial World felt the loss of their own bloodline.

No member of the Witch Race resisted or tried to stop it; instead, they accepted it all without question.

The Pangu Blood Pool, which had long since dried up, has been revitalized.

"Thump, thump, thump!"

A heart-pounding sound, terrifying and unsettling, echoed continuously from the pool of blood.

Even the Pangu Hall has been revitalized.
