Nuwa was Houtu's first friend, and their relationship was pretty good.
Therefore, Houtu didn't want Nuwa to fight the Ancestor Witches. If they did, there would inevitably be casualties.
"Fellow Daoists, we all took form at Buzhou Mountain. Let's not ruin our friendship!"
Fuxi was also trying to mediate. It wasn't because he was actually friends with the Twelve Ancestor Witches, but because he was afraid Nuwa would suffer a disadvantage.
Houtu and Fuxi stood in the middle, mediating, which prevented the Ancestor Witches and Nuwa from making the first move.
Bai Chen broke free from Nuwa's grasp and climbed onto her shoulder, its gaze seemingly fixed on the Twelve Ancestor Witches.
"Esteemed Ancestor Witches, has your Ancestor Witch physique not yet been cultivated to its peak?
Nuwa's Primordial Holy Sword is an unparalleled treasure, powerful enough to contend with Innate Supreme Treasures. Can your Ancestor Witch physiques truly withstand it?"
"If you fight Nuwa, there will likely be casualties. Why do you wish to see your own kin suffer?"
Although Bai Chen didn't know the exact situation of the Twelve Ancestor Witches, it was certain that their Ancestor Witch physiques had not been cultivated to their peak.
After all, according to the trajectory of the Primordial World, the Twelve Ancestor Witches' physiques would only reach their peak in the later stages of the Lich Tribulation.
Hearing Bai Chen's words, the Ancestor Witches frowned, as the situation was indeed as Bai Chen described.
They weren't afraid of getting injured. Even severe injuries could be healed with the Pangu essence blood from Pangu's Blood Pool.
However, if they were killed, even Pangu's essence blood would be useless!
Seeing that its words had made the Ancestor Witches hesitant, Bai Chen continued, "Furthermore, as the orthodox lineage of Pangu, is it appropriate for you Ancestor Witches to bully the weaker side? Does it honor the name of Pangu's Orthodox Lineage?"
Bai Chen knew that what the Ancestor Witches valued most was the title of Pangu's Orthodox Lineage.
The difficult relationship between the later Three Pure Ones and the Ancestor Witches was primarily due to this very title.
You claim to be Pangu's Orthodox Lineage, and I claim to be Pangu's Orthodox Lineage, but there can only be one such title!
Now, Bai Chen had directly brought up the title of Pangu's Orthodox Lineage, which was a decisive move!
The Ancestor Witches' faces turned extremely grim. If the news of them bullying the weaker side spread, it would indeed tarnish the reputation of Pangu's Orthodox Lineage and invite ridicule.
However, if it were a one-on-one fight, they wouldn't fear Nuwa if she didn't have a powerful treasure.
But Nuwa happened to possess a powerful treasure, and they weren't confident they could win against her.
Chapter 7: Mount Sumeru! Pangu Seal!
Seeing that the Ancestor Witches had been intimidated by its words, Bai Chen then whispered a few words to Nuwa.
No one knew what Bai Chen said, but Nuwa actually put away the Primordial Holy Sword.
After Nuwa put away the Primordial Holy Sword, she took Bai Chen and left. The other Ancestor Witches did not stop them.
Fuxi and Houtu were awestruck. They had tried to mediate for a long time with no effect, yet Bai Chen had stopped the impending great battle with just a few words.
Amazing!
After this small-scale Lich war was averted by Bai Chen, Bai Chen settled down permanently at Buzhou Mountain.
Time flowed by rapidly, and countless Yuanhui passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, Houtu frequently visited Nuwa's dojo.
It was less that Houtu was visiting Nuwa and more that she was coming to play with Bai Chen and listen to its boasts and stories.
Since Bai Chen had been discovered by Houtu and the others, Nuwa could no longer hide it.
As for Xuanming, after that incident, her relationship with Nuwa became strained, and she never visited Nuwa's dojo again.
However, Houtu often took Bai Chen out to play with Xuanming.
Nuwa watched Bai Chen, Houtu, and Xuanming grow closer, and although she didn't say anything, she was inwardly displeased.
She, Nuwa, had spent Spiritual Treasures and risked offending Yuan Feng to buy Bai Chen from the Mystic Sky Fire Phoenix Jin Ning and bring it to Buzhou Mountain.
Yet Houtu and Xuanming, having paid nothing, could now play with Bai Chen. This was unfair.
Speaking of these Yuanhui, due to the incident of stealing the cat at Phoenix Perch Mountain, Nuwa had been feeling guilty and had not returned to Phoenix Perch Mountain to discuss the Dao with Yuan Feng.
The Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin tribes had engaged in large-scale wars during these Yuanhui, and their cannon fodder was nearly depleted. They had finished fighting.
Now, the myriad races of scales, the myriad races of flying beasts, and the myriad races of beasts were all severely weakened and essentially ruined. Many Innate Divine Beasts had also perished.
How powerful were the myriad races of the Primordial World when they united to fight the Fierce Beast tribe back then?
Yet now, due to the selfish desires of Ancestor Dragon, Yuan Feng, and First Qilin, the Primordial World was plunged into suffering.
The war between the myriad races of the Primordial World and the Fierce Beast tribe had already caused significant losses.
Later, Ancestor Dragon, Yuan Feng, and First Qilin, in order to become the lords of scales, flying beasts, and beasts, subjugated and suppressed the myriad races by force, and suppressed the Innate Divine Beasts, further weakening the myriad races.
Now, the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin tribes, for their own selfish reasons, to contend for the position of rulers of the Primordial World, had used the Innate Divine Beasts and the myriad races as cannon fodder, sending them into battle.
At least eighty percent of the Innate Divine Beasts and the elites of the myriad races had been lost.
The era of Innate Divine Beasts was destined to recede, and the era of Innate Deities was about to begin!
The karma generated by the fall of Innate Divine Beasts, and the karma accumulated by the decline of the myriad races of the Primordial World, all this karma and karma needed someone to bear it.
The cannon fodder for the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin tribes is basically used up. The battlefield has shifted from behind the scenes to the open.
The three tribes have engaged in large-scale warfare, throwing High-level Golden Immortals onto the battlefield as if they were free.
In every large-scale battle, tens of thousands of High-level Golden Immortals are lost!
Only the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin tribes can afford such losses. The later Demon and Witch tribes would not be able to bear them.
After all, the later Demon tribe was merely picking up the chessboard that the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin tribes had already played with and discarded, treasuring the pieces that the three tribes had overlooked.
Apart from Nuwa, the nominal Saint of the Demon tribe, the later Demon tribe could only present two world-shattering formations.
The Western lands of the Great Desolation...
Mount Sumeru is the ancestral vein of the spiritual veins in the Western lands of the Great Desolation, and it is also the Dojo of Ancestor Luohu.
Ancestor Luohu established his Dojo on Mount Sumeru not because it was the ancestral vein of the West, but because of the treasure suppressed beneath Mount Sumeru. He wanted to guard this treasure.
Ancestor Luohu manifested the power of laws, and the laws of the demonic path surged into the sky, causing the heavens and earth of the Western Great Desolation to lose their color.
If ordinary Innate Deities and Innate Divine Beasts were to witness this terrifying power of laws, their scalps would surely go numb from fear.
This was because the power of laws was terrifyingly dense, not at all like something an Innate Deity could control.
Ancestor Luohu was, on the surface, an Innate Deity, but this was merely his outward identity. His true identity was a Chaos Demon God who presided over the laws of the demonic path.
In the past, Ancestor Luohu's predecessor had its physical body severed by Great God Pangu's axe, its Hunyuan fruit position shattered. Its Primordial Spirit and true spirit fled into the Western Great Desolation, transforming into Ancestor Luohu.
Ancestor Luohu had been in hiding, plotting for countless Yuanhui. Now, his grand plan was finally nearing completion.
"Eight Protectors, heed my command! You shall guard the eight directions of Mount Sumeru. Those who trespass shall be killed without mercy!"
Luohu summoned the Eight Protectors and issued his orders.
He was about to do something significant and did not wish for anyone to disrupt his affairs.
"We respectfully obey the Ancestor's decree!"
Ri Biao and the other seven Protectors bowed to Ancestor Luohu before vanishing.
The true identities of Ri Biao and the Eight Protectors were eight Fierce Beasts.
Ri Biao and the other seven were the eight great beast generals, second only to Beast Emperor Shen Ni and the Four Beast Kings.
When the Fierce Beast tribe was annihilated, Ancestor Luohu had saved Ri Biao and the other seven.
After Ri Biao and the other seven submitted to Ancestor Luohu, they had been serving him faithfully.
If the supreme mighty beings of the Great Desolation today, such as Ancestor Luohu, Ancestor Yang Mei, and Ancestor Hongjun, who were transformed from the residual souls of Chaos Demon Gods, were considered the first tier of combat power.
Then Ancestor Dragon, Yuan Feng, and First Qilin, the three overt overlords, would be the second tier of combat power.
Ri Biao and the other seven, formerly the eight great beast generals of the Fierce Beast tribe, were now in the third tier of combat power in the Great Desolation!
As the Eight Protectors went to guard the eight directions of Mount Sumeru.
Ancestor Luohu used the laws of the demonic path to summon the malevolent treasure, the God-Slaying Spear, and struck it into Mount Sumeru.
A restriction on Mount Sumeru was immediately awakened and manifested.
The supreme divine might emanating from the restriction made even Ancestor Luohu feel immense pressure.
"Pangu, you caused me to lose my Hunyuan fruit position and suffer this fate. Today, you will not stop my grand plan!"
Ancestor Luohu cursed at the restriction seal. He then summoned the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Twelve-grade World-Ending Black Lotus, to resist the divine might of Pangu's Seal.
Following that, he used the laws of the demonic path to activate the God-Slaying Spear, siphoning the essence blood and various evil energies from the myriad races and the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin tribes on the battlefield of the Great Desolation.
Streams of essence blood and evil energy were siphoned towards Ancestor Luohu. He then channeled these into Pangu's Seal.
Pangu's Seal was gradually eroded and its vast divine might was worn away by the essence blood and evil energies.
This process continued for an unknown duration. Finally, Pangu's Seal was broken, and the object suppressed by Great God Pangu finally appeared.
Corpse fragments were released from Pangu's Seal. These fragments emitted a power that surged towards the thirty-three layers of the Great Desolation, causing all thirty-three heavens to tremble.
(The Three Pure Ones have not yet attained the Dao and have not opened the Three Pure Heavens. Currently, the Great Desolation has thirty-three heavens. After the Three Pure Ones attain the Dao and open the Three Pure Heavens, there will be thirty-six heavens!)
These corpses and fragments, possessing world-shattering power, seemed as though they would revive at any moment and wreak havoc upon the Great Desolation.
Fortunately, four divine iron rods hung from the four corners, suppressing these remains and preventing them from wreaking havoc for the time being.
Chapter 8: Ancestor Luohu's Scheme for the Great Desolation!
Even as mere remains, these corpses possessed a power that could make the thirty-three heavens tremble.
As for their identities, it was already obvious.
That's right, they were the remains of the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods.
After Great God Pangu had slain the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods, the vast majority of their physical remains had fallen into the Western Great Desolation.
