The Cruel Inevitability of the Great Dao! / A Way to Solve It!

"Great God Bai Chen, quickly tell me what happened, and listen to me!"

Houtu knew that Bai Chen loved to be called "Great God" by others, so in order to get the cat to talk, she had no choice but to flatter it.

It must be said that Houtu, as Bai Chen's close friend, understands him quite well.

Her address of "Great God Bai Chen" and the offer of a grooming service changed Bai Chen's attitude.

"Cough cough cough!"

Bai Chen coughed and said:

"This great god is a little thirsty!"

Bai Chen glanced at the Pangu Blood Pool, his meaning was self-evident, he was practically saying that he wanted to drink Pangu Essence Blood.

Dijiang felt heartbroken when he thought about how Bai Chen had already stolen and drunk a lot of Pangu Essence Blood, and now this cat wanted to drink more of Pangu Essence Blood.

But left with no other choice, Dijiang finally nodded in agreement.

Xuanming picked up a jade cup, filled it with Pangu Essence Blood, and handed it to Bai Chen.

Bai Chen took the Pangu Essence Blood and immediately performed a demonstration for the Twelve Ancestor Witches, drinking it all in one gulp to show their deep affection.

"Bad Cat, can't you drink a little less?"

Xuanming felt a pang of regret seeing Bai Chen drink Pangu Essence Blood like that.

Chapter 453 The Cruel Great Dao's Destiny!

After Bai Chen finished drinking a bowl of Pangu Essence Blood, he handed the jade cup back to Xuanming and instructed him:

"Xuanming, give this great god another bowl!"

You think you can extract the secrets from the Great God Bai Chen with just a bowl of Pangu Essence Blood? No way!

"Bad Cat, you've gone too far!"

Xuanming looked at the empty bowl Bai Chen handed him and, imitating Bai Chen's gesture, crossed his arms in front of his chest and pouted.

Houtu looked at Bai Chen and Xuanming, who were glaring at each other, speechless.

Left with no other choice, he offered some advice:

"Sister, Little White has already drunk so much of Pangu Essence Blood, one more bowl won't make a difference."

Houtu had spoken up, Xuanming immediately went and scooped up another bowl of Pangu Essence Blood.

"Little White, can you tell me now?"

Houtu watched as Bai Chen drank another bowl of Pangu Essence Blood in one gulp, then reached out and poked his chubby belly.

After handing the empty bowl to Xuanming, Bai Chen cleared his throat and said:

"Even if you suppress Gonggong and Zhurong, it won't make much difference."

Even if you save Gonggong and Zhurong's lives, other Ancestral Witch will follow Gonggong's old path and angrily strike Buzhou Mountain.

Bai Chen's words left everyone in the room dumbfounded.

The Ancestral Witch looked at each other in bewilderment. They weren't stupid fools Gonggong; how could they possibly angrily strike Buzhou Mountain?

Gonggong: What do you mean? We were all good brothers before, how come I've suddenly become a stupid idiot?

"Bad Cat, keep talking!"

Xuanming also reached out and poked Bai Chen's belly, signaling the cat to hurry up and speak without pausing.

Bai Chen shoved Xuanming's hand away and shouted:

"Xuanming, didn't you realize this great god is thirsty again? You have no tact whatsoever!"

Bai Chen pointed at Xuanming, signaling him to quickly give him the Pangu Essence Blood, the Great God Bai Chen.

Seeing that Bai Chen was about to say a few more words and drink Pangu Essence Blood, Dijiang felt a chill run down his spine and quickly said:

"Bai Chen, after you finish speaking, this Ancestral Witch will give you some more Pangu Essence Blood."

Dijiang planned to keep Bai Chen calm for now, and after getting all the information out of him, he would simply deny everything and throw the cat out of Buzhou Mountain.

"Dijiang, do you really think this great god is stupid?"

"If I finish speaking, you'll definitely betray me and throw me off Buzhou Mountain."

Having weathered countless battles in the primordial world, Bai Chen knew all this was second nature to it; how could it not see through the cunning schemes of the Ancestral Witch Emperor Jiang?

This guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes doesn't look like a good person at first glance.

"How could I, the Ancestral Witch, possibly do such a thing?"

When his deception was exposed, the Ancestral Witch Emperor Jiang felt a pang of fear, but he still forced himself to deny it.

Dijiang thought to himself, "Although I am thinking of dismantling the bridge after crossing the river, I have not yet carried it out. As long as I deny it, this matter will not exist."

"Hehehe!"

Bai Chen sneered and said nothing more.

Houtu gave Xuanming a look, and Xuanming went to fetch another bowl of Pangu Essence Blood and handed it to Bai Chen.

"Little White, can you continue now?"

Houtu watched as this lazy cat drank another bowl of Pangu Essence Blood and urged him on impatiently.

"According to my deduction, this matter seems to be the demon race plotting against the Witch Clan, trying to break the Witch Clan's Twelve Capital Celestial Evil-Slaying Formation."

In reality, it was the Great Dao that determined this great destiny, intending to destroy Buzhou Mountain, the pillar of heaven.

Bai Chen embellished what he knew and told the Twelve Ancestor Witches.

"Bad Cat, why did the Great Dao destroy Buzhou Mountain?"

Houtu began to think upon hearing this, while Xuanming, too lazy to think, directly asked Bai Chen.

"Xuanming, are you stupid? There is a remnant will of the Great God Pangu in Buzhou Mountain."

Only by destroying Buzhou Mountain can the connection between the Great God Pangu and the Primordial World be severed.

Only by creating the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man in the beginning could the Great God Pangu truly and completely control the Primordial World.

Bai Chen revealed the truth: Buzhou Mountain was beneficial to the Primordial World, but it was always a problem for the Great Dao and the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

Now that the Primordial World sages have returned to their positions, the Great Dao has decided to destroy Buzhou Mountain.

After hearing all this, Xuanming felt an itch on his head, as if he was about to grow a brain.

Dijiang and the other Ancestral Witch: Sister Xuanming, wait for us! Our heads are itchy too, and we feel like we need to grow brains.

"Buzhou Mountain gives birth to endless primordial spiritual energy. If Buzhou Mountain is destroyed, the Primordial World will no longer be able to generate primordial spiritual energy on its own."

"Moreover, Buzhou Mountain stands tall and upright. If Buzhou Mountain were destroyed, it would likely create a situation where heaven and earth were united."

"Does the Great Dao intend to abandon all living beings in the Primordial World?"

Upon hearing this, Houtu explained the importance of Buzhou Mountain.

Putting aside the possibility of a fusion of heaven and earth, what does the depletion of innate spiritual energy mean?

The difference between innate spiritual energy and acquired spiritual energy can be described as a world of difference.

For example, Daluo Golden Immortal who cultivates through innate spiritual energy has an endless lifespan, practically as long as heaven and earth, and would not normally die from exhaustion of their lifespan.

The lifespan of Daluo Golden Immortal, who cultivates through acquired spiritual energy, is generally only tens of thousands of years, with the longest being a Yuanhui (a unit of time in Chinese mythology).

This explains why the Heavenly Court in later generations held the Flat Peach Banquet and the Elixir Gathering every so often, distributing Flat Peach and elixirs to the Heavenly Court's Daluo Golden Immortal to extend their lifespan.

"Houtu, since the Great Dao intends to destroy Buzhou Mountain, the pillar of heaven, it has naturally arranged for a new pillar of heaven."

As for the fading of innate spiritual energy, it is replaced by acquired spiritual energy.

It's a bad thing for all living beings in the Primordial World world, but isn't it a good thing for a sage?

Bai Chen felt that Houtu was not smart enough. Even though Bai Chen was not a saint, it thought that the fading of innate spiritual energy was a good thing for it.

This is because the innate spiritual energy fades away and is replaced by acquired spiritual energy, which weakens the strength of all living beings in the Primordial World.

It can slow down the cultivation speed of Innate Great God, and the strength of acquired beings is blocked. They will find it difficult to become Daluo Golden Immortal by relying on acquired spiritual energy. Even if they do become Daluo Golden Immortal, they will be the weakest Daluo Golden Immortal.

By then, the creatures that were born later won't be able to cause any major trouble, and they'll be easier to manage.

As for Bai Chen, he felt that acquired spiritual energy had little effect on him, as he had abundant Innate Spiritual Root and could cultivate by eating fruits.

Moreover, living in Nuwa's temple allows Nuwa to absorb primordial spiritual energy and transform it into innate spiritual energy for her own cultivation.

The spirits of the day after tomorrow: You crossed the bridge yourselves, and now that it's broken, you don't care about those who came after you at all, and you're even gloating, aren't you!

Seeing that he had said enough, Bai Chen turned to Houtu and asked:

"Houtu, so you understand now, this isn't about the lives of the Ancestral Witch, but about whether Buzhou Mountain will break or not."

Houtu nodded; at that moment, she finally understood everything.

"Why must the Great Dao require our Ancestral Witch to smash Buzhou Mountain?"

Xuanming hadn't quite reacted yet and was a little confused.

"Sister, it's because we Twelve Ancestor Witches and the Three Pure Ones were all transformed from Father God Pangu."

"Even if Nuwa, and Jieyin and Zhunti, those saints, were to self-destruct, they might not be able to destroy Buzhou Mountain. Only we, the Twelve Ancestor Witches and the Three Pure Ones, Pangu Descendant, can destroy Buzhou Mountain."

The Three Pure Ones are the Primordial World sages appointed by the Great Dao, and the Great Dao will naturally not abandon them.

"Therefore, the Twelve Ancestor Witches were the best candidates to be sacrificed. That is why the Great Dao determined that Brother Gonggong would lose his mind and thus angrily strike Buzhou Mountain."

Bai Chen remained silent, but Hou Tu, who Houtu everything, revealed the incredibly cruel reality.

Chapter 454 The Solution!

Houtu said was actually what Bai Chen was thinking: sacrificing the Ancestral Witch to destroy the Heavenly Pillar of Buzhou Mountain would not only minimize the loss, but also weaken the Witch Clan, making it easier to conclude the Witch-Demon Tribulation. From the perspective of the Great Dao, it would be a win-win situation.

"Houtu, this great goddess is going back!"

After Bai Chen finished speaking, he prepared to return and, together with Nuwa, began to make arrangements for Mending the Heavens, aiming to seize the initiative.
