Outside the Empress Nuwa's Palace, a white rainbow pierced the sky, Moonlight Essence was like water.
The cold jade steps reflected a lonely light until a sharp rainbow pierced the Chaos, tearing apart the tranquil atmosphere.
Fuxi's figure appeared before the palace gate.
When Di Jun asked him to select promising and talented young people from among the Demon Clan, he had already guessed Di Jun's intentions.
His visit to the Empress Nuwa's Palace today was also to add some insurance to this matter.
"Elder Brother, please come in." The palace gates opened silently, and a gentle, calm voice rang out—it was the Empress Nuwa.
Golden Phoenix came out of the palace and welcomed Fuxi inside.
Upon entering the Empress Nuwa's Palace, the serene Daoist atmosphere within the Dao Field cleansed Fuxi's mind, soothed his Primordial Spirit, and dispelled much of the heaviness in his heart.
Nuwa asked him to sit down, and then had Golden Phoenix bring over some Spiritual Tea and Spiritual Fruit. The two sat facing each other and enjoyed the tea.
After a while, Nuwa asked with a smile, "Elder Brother, how are you feeling? Has the knot in your heart been eased?"
Upon hearing this, Fuxi smiled slightly and said, "I'm much better now. Thank you, sister."
When Fuxi arrived, he was full of sorrow and his mind was unsettled. He was in a very bad state. Although Nuwa knew where his bad mood came from, she couldn't help him solve it. She could only use the Daoist energy in the Dao Field to help him calm down.
Maintain composure in the face of important matters; negative emotions can significantly hinder performance at crucial moments.
Once Fuxi's emotions had calmed down, he didn't delay any longer and began to explain the situation and his purpose, "Sister, the final battle between the Witch-Demon is imminent and cannot be avoided."
Nuwa replied coldly, "This is the will of Heaven, the inevitable trend of the times, Unfulfilled Desires."
"Elder Brother, has come here to entrust me with something?"
Fuxi nodded:
I need your help with something.
This battle is fraught with danger and unpredictability. Regardless of the outcome, my Demon Clan will likely find it difficult to escape unscathed.
The Witch Clan has Reincarnation who established the cycle of Houtu, Xuanming has also attained Sainthood, forming a force of their own in the Youming. This can serve as a fallback for the Witch Clan, allowing them to have no worries about the future.
On the other hand, if things go wrong for my Demon Clan, even the Heavenly Realm might not be able to protect us, and my people might have nowhere to go.
He looked at Nuwa and said gently, "
Sister, surely you Saint won't interfere in this war anymore?
In previous wars, there were instances where Saint intervened. On one occasion, the Three Pure Ones attempted to demonstrate their Saint authority but were nearly beaten up by the Witch Clan. In the end, it was Hongjun who intervened and stopped the war after a million years. However, at that time, the difference in strength between the two sides was significant, and the Demon Clan was no match for the Witch Clan.
Those Saint went to great lengths to balance the power of the Witch and Demon Clans, hoping to see them both weaken each Witch-Demon, end their rule, and relinquish their positions.
With their covert manipulation this time, Witch-Demon being evenly matched, it's believed that without external interference, the two races could truly suffer heavy losses.
Although this was the result of Fuxi's calculations, he still wanted to confirm it with Nuwa to avoid any unexpected problems.
"Elder Brother is right. This time, we will not interfere, nor will we allow others to interfere. You don't need to worry that Houtu and Xuanming will step in to help the Witch Clan. The Heavenly Dao Saint and Earth Dao Saint are watching this war!"
The natural order of things cannot be defied; otherwise, the Spirit Gourd wouldn't have been imprisoned in the first place.
Fuxi was relieved to hear the first part of what was said, but was shocked to hear the second part. He hadn't expected that the matter of the Spirit Gourd was decided jointly by the Heavenly Dao and the Earthly Dao.
Come to think of it, Jiang Yun's Dao of All Beings is biased towards all living beings in the world, hoping to open up a Tongtian Great Dao for all living beings, so that everyone has the opportunity to attain enlightenment.
However, Heaven and Earth are biased, and destiny is predetermined. How could they allow everyone to attain enlightenment, not even with the slightest bit of opportunity?
If everyone's fate is uncertain, how will the world function? Without rules, there can be no order!
Well!
Fuxi sighed inwardly.
Then he pleaded with Nuwa:
I have come here to ask you for a favor, and I hope you can help me.
It's nothing difficult, just providing a guarantee.
Nuwa said, "Elder Brother, please speak first."
"His Your Majesty previously instructed me to select many promising and qualified young people from within the clan and to make some arrangements for them."
If the Demon Clan is defeated in this battle, the Demon Court collapses, and His Your Majesty, I... and many other Demon Clan perish, then those chosen successors will be the Fire Seed of the Demon Clan's revival.
When the time comes, someone will take them to a safe place to cultivate themselves peacefully and wait for the right opportunity. I hope my sister can keep an eye on this matter and ensure that things proceed smoothly.
Nuwa remained silent for a moment, her eyelids slightly lowered, as if she were deducing the Heavenly Secrets.
A faint Daoist aura circulated within the palace. After a long while, she slowly asked, "Are you referring to the younger generations in Xihe and Changxi Moon Palace?"
Nuwa asked calmly.
"Yes!" Fuxi nodded heavily. "His Demon Emperor Your Majesty used immense Great Magic Power to communicate with the Moonlight Mystic Pivot and open the Chaos Path, sending the only remaining Ten Golden Crows Lu Ya, Lu Ya, and the Twelve Jade Rabbit, along with many Demon Clan descendants with extraordinary Bloodline and divine manuals, to the Depths of Chaos."
This matter is extremely confidential, but you, sister, have the authority of Saint. If you search diligently, you may find some clues.
I hope that in the years to come, my sister can secretly protect them and give them a chance to live, so that the lineage of my Demon Clan race will not be completely cut off in the Primordial World.
This is my Elder Brother's greatest wish!
At the end, Fuxi bowed deeply.
Looking into Fuxi's sincere eyes, Nuwa finally nodded gently. "I will keep an eye on them, Elder Brother. Rest assured, under the Heavenly Dao, the Demon Clan Bloodline will not be extinguished."
"Excellent!" Fuxi seemed to have been relieved of a heavy burden.
"Thus, Fuxi has no regrets. His only wish upon going forth is to secure a sliver of opportunity for the Demon Clan race and repay the Demon Emperor's kindness in recognizing his talent."
Take care, little sister!
Without another word, he turned and strode away, his figure disappearing outside the palace gates.
Nuwa did not try to stop him. She knew what Fuxi was thinking. She had subtly advised him many times before, but to no avail.
Nuwa watched Fuxi leave, and after a long while, a faint sigh echoed in the empty Empress Nuwa's Palace.
On the Primordial Desolation Earth, before the last remaining half of the ruins of Buzhou Mountain.
This is the place chosen by the ancestral god Dijiang to swear an oath.
Beneath the vast Firmament, twelve enormous Capital Gods and Fiends Banner fluttered in the wind, exuding a heavy aura of Baleful Qi and stirring up boundless winds and clouds.
The army of the Witch Clan gathered like a Baleful Qi sea, their malevolent aura soaring into the sky, coalescing into a fierce, dark red cloud that churned and shook the heavens.
The eight Ancestral Witch, Dijiang, Qiangliang, Jumang, Tianwu, Shebishi, Zhujiuyin, Rushou, Xizi, stood on the high platform. Behind them stood four figures exuding powerful blood energy and high fighting spirit: Xiangliu, Jiu Feng, Xing Tian, and Chi You!
The four were carefully selected by the Witch Clan and baptized in the Pangu Blood Pool. They will replace Gonggong, Zhurong, and the other two as the ones to activate the Capital Gods and Fiends Great Formation!
Dijiang stood atop a towering stone platform, his Ancestral Witch True Body not yet fully revealed, but his majestic aura already made the mountains bow down.
His eyes, like two burning Blood Moon, swept across the silent, iron-willed tribal torrent below, his voice shattering the heavens.
"Young warriors of the Witch Clan!"
Today is the day we settle the score with the Demon Clan for their unforgivable blood debt!
Do you remember that it was these creatures, born from moisture and eggs, who tried to seize the land created by our Father God and attempted to control the power of heaven and earth?
Do you remember how the Demon Court the Demon Clan race was once high and mighty, regarding all living beings as ants? For their own selfish reasons, they slaughtered hundreds of millions of the Human Clan, all to forge a Witch-Slaying Weapon;
Do you remember that the sons of Di Jun, the ten wicked Golden Crow, were arrogant and conceited, and secretly left Tanggu. The Ten Suns in the Sky, scorching the land for millions of miles, burning down countless tribes of my Witch Clan and killing countless Primordial World Living Beings!
The Great Witch Kuafu died from exhaustion while trying to drive away the scorching sun. The Great Witch Da Yi shot down the sun with his bow. To save all living beings, he killed nine of Kuafu's sons. The justice of heaven is clear. However, that old scoundrel Di Jun, who was overly protective of his own, bullied the weak and killed our clan's hero Da Yi!
Look at the broken mountain range behind me, this torn Primordial Desolation Earth. Was it the Demon Clan race's trickery that instigated my clan's two Ancestral Witch, Gonggong and Zhurong, to fight to the death, ultimately causing the pillar of heaven to collapse, resulting in the sky tilting to the northwest and the earth sinking to the southeast!
Each and every one of these acts is an outrageous crime, too numerous to recount!
As long as the Demon Clan Immortality, the world will not be at peace, and the Primordial World will not be tranquil!
This hatred, even if all the waters of the nine heavens were poured out, could not be washed away! This resentment, even if the Thirty-Three Heavens were shattered, could not be extinguished!
Today, in the name of the Father God, we, the Witch Clan, gather our battle blood.
In the name of the Ancestral Witch Emperor Jiang, I declare: Ascend to Heaven and vanquish the demons!
Finally, Dijiang pointed sharply towards the Thirty-Three Heavens, his gaze seemingly able to pierce through all barriers and burn through layers of palaces.
"Ascend to the heavens! Slay the demons! Pay the blood debt in blood!" The seven Ancestral Witch on the platform, along with the four substitute top Great Witch Jiu Feng, Xing Tian, Xiangliu, Chi You, roared, their voices like thunder soaring into the Yunxiao.
"Blood for blood! Blood for blood!" The billions of the Witch Clan roared in response, their killing intent soaring to the heavens, converging into a blood-red tidal wave powerful enough to shake the Stars, surging towards the lofty Thirty-Three Heavens.
Meanwhile, in the Thirty-Three Heavens, on the plaza outside the Southern Heavenly Gate the Demon Court.
Di Jun, clad in Emperor's Robe adorned with the Sun, Moon, and Stars, and wearing the crown of the Heavenly Emperor, stood majestically atop the nine-tiered imperial platform. The illusory image of the Fusang Divine Tree behind him shone brilliantly, with high-ranking officials such as Xi Huang Fuxi standing in attendance.
Below, the Zhou Tian Star Gods held Stars Banners and lined up in formation. Three hundred and sixty-five Great Zhou Tian Demon God, fourteen thousand eight hundred Lesser Zhou Tian Demon Marshal, and their hundreds of millions of Demon Soldiers were fully armed and lined up, their Yao Qi solemn, confronting the soaring Baleful Qi of the Witch Clan.
Di Jun's voice carried a strange penetrating power, clearly reaching the ears of every Demon Clan.
"Soldiers of the Demon Clan!"
Looking back, our ancestors also lived peacefully and freely on this Primordial Desolation Earth!
However, after the emergence of the Witch Clan, what did they consider us Bird Tribe, beasts, and spirits of plants to be?
It's food, it's the sustenance they consume!
Wherever the Witch Clan passed, the ancestors of the Demon Clan race fled, and vegetation withered!
Countless of their kind, before they had even awakened their intelligence, became food for them; countless demons, just beginning to Spirit Awakening, were hunted and enslaved by them!
The Witch Clan is greedy and cruel. They occupy the Buzhou Mountain Range in the center of the world, claim to be the descendants of Pangu, regard the Primordial Desolation Earth as their own, and see us as Blood Food to be taken at will!
"At that time, though the Primordial Desolation Earth was vast, was there a safe place for my Demon Clan to dwell?"
Di Jun's voice was filled with a heavy sense of history. The Demon Clan below the stage recalled the pain of the ancient times, and they all gripped their weapons tightly, their eyes burning with anger.
"There is no path to completely eradicate demons!" Di Jun's voice suddenly rose in pitch, carrying a hint of exhilaration.
We, along with our ancestors, overcame countless obstacles and hardships!
Finally, atop Buzhou Mountain, they discovered the Thirty-Three Layered Heavens, standing atop the Primordial Desolation Earth!
We abandoned our earthly home, migrated as a whole, and made countless sacrifices to establish our home—the Demon Clan Demon Court — above the Nine Heavens!
We thought that by leaving the earth and coming to the sky, we could escape the entanglement of the grotesque Witch Clan and enjoy peace.
But when have the Witch Clan ever let us go?
They covet the wealth of the Heavenly Court and are greedy for the flesh and blood of my Demon Clan!
Since the end of the War of the Three Races, they have repeatedly provoked war and invaded the borders of my Heavenly Realm!
How many brave young men have shed their blood under the stars?
How many Demon God and heroic spirits have vanished forever from the Star River?
The grief in his eyes could no longer be concealed:
The previous nine Golden Crow Prince appeared silently in the lower realm of the Primordial World and perished at the hands of the Da Yi of the Witch Clan. My heart is breaking!
My son was lured into causing the calamity of the Ten Suns in the Sky. Although he made a mistake, he was not the culprit. However, the Great Witch Da Yi of the Witch Clan, Da Yi, slaughtered nine of my sons!
This act of provoking conflict between the two races is a heart-wrenching pain that must be repaid with blood. The dignity of my Demon Clan is inviolable!
Dijiang keeps accusing me of killing Da Yi, but how can you, who only know how to offer sacrifices, understand the pain of Blood Food a son?
Moreover, Gonggong and Zhurong, both Witch Clan Ancestral Witches, could not control their violent emotions and fought fiercely at the foot of Buzhou Mountain, breaking the Primordial World pillar of heaven!
This caused the heavens to collapse and the earth to cave in, with the Heavenly River overflowing Primordial Desolation Earth!
The foundation of my Heavenly Court was shaken as a result, countless Celestial Palace collapsed, countless Demon Clan Members died tragically, and countless demon children and demon people were annihilated in the raging flood!
All these blood debts prove one thing— the Witch Clan is the root of all bloody plunder on the Primordial Desolation Earth! The culprit behind endless suffering and calamities!
As long as the Witch Clan Immortality, the Demon Clan will never have peace!
The Primordial World will never find peace!
At this point, Di Jun roared:
"Today, in the name of the Demon Emperor Di Jun, I command the billions of the Demon Clan in all the heavens and myriad realms to raise the banner of slaying witches and deploy the Zhou Heavenly Cycle Stars Formation!"
Shatter the Pangu Hall of the Witch Clan!
"Eliminate the source of the Primordial World witchcraft!"
With the Witch Blood, I offer sacrifices to the countless heroic souls of my Demon Clan, and slaughter the Witch Clan!
"Slaughter--Witch--!" Di Jun's roar ignited the fury of the Demon Clan both on and off the stage.
"Slay the witches! Slay the witches! Slay the witches!"
"To avenge Your Majesty!"
"Avenge Golden Crow Prince!"
"To avenge our fallen Demon Clan brethren!"
The roar of the Zhou Tian Star Gods accompanied the waving of the Star Banner, drawing down the power of endless Stars.
The entire Heavenly Court was enveloped in a fervent and resolute will to retaliate.
After the oath-taking ceremony, both sides deployed their troops, and the Demon Clan and Witch Clan armies converged near the four heavenly gates.
The Demon Clan's Heavenly Cycle Stars Great Formation has been deployed. Three hundred and sixty-five Great Zhou Tian Demon God, fourteen thousand eight hundred Lesser Zhou Tian Demon Marshal, and numerous Lesser Star Lord, holding Stars Banners, are stationed on their respective Stars, awaiting the time to start the battle.
The murderous aura of the two races facing off at the four Heavenly Realm Gates has materialized, filling the boundary between the Thirty-Three Heavens and the outer Primordial Desolation Earth.
The four colossal heavenly gates Tongtian — the Southern Heavenly Gate, the North Heavenly Gate, the East Heavenly Gate, and the West Heavenly Gate —have now become the battlefield for the final showdown between two ultimate Primordial World forces.
