Chapter Twenty-Three: Nuwa and Houtu Were Numb, and Suirenshi Came to Visit

Chen Sheng took a sip of tea. He had been in these mountains for a long time. Although Suirenshi often came to chat with him, he did not know much about the current situation in the Primordial World.

Since he happened to have two young ladies here today, he asked curiously, "How far has the Witch-Demon War progressed?"

Houtu was stunned at first. After glancing at Nuwa, she said to Chen Sheng, "The Demon Clan has gone too far. The Witch-Demon War has grown increasingly fierce."

Nuwa fell silent for a moment at those words. Although she was the Demon Emperor, she was now also a Saint and would not interfere in the Witch-Demon War!

Still, Nuwa was very concerned about the Witch-Demon War.

Chen Sheng had been able to exile her into the River of Time, and he had even brought out a supreme treasure like the Nine Sword Star Pattern Grass to support the Human Race. Now, he had invited them to drink tea containing the power of laws!

He must have unique insights into the Witch-Demon War.

With that thought, Nuwa hesitated for a moment before asking, "I wonder what your view of the Witch-Demon War is. Who do you think will win?"

Houtu found it somewhat strange. After all, the Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan and a member of the Witch Clan were discussing the Witch-Demon War on a Broken Mountain. No matter how she thought about it, it seemed unbelievable!

But Houtu also wanted to know Chen Sheng's view of the Witch-Demon War.

Since Nuwa had asked, Chen Sheng fell silent for a moment.

After the Dragon-Phoenix-Kirin Tribulation, the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan had both become overlords of the Primordial World.

Thus, the two clans began competing for control of Heaven and Earth.

Di Jun, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and the others of the Demon Clan established the Heavenly Court, proclaimed themselves Heavenly Emperors, and sought to rule Heaven and Earth.

As a result, the friction between both sides grew increasingly intense.

Later, Gonggong and Zhu Rong, the two Ancestral Witches, fought at Buzhou Mountain for some unknown reason, and both of them died.

Then Eastern Emperor Taiyi's ten sons, the ten Golden Crows, broke the heavenly laws and all ran out to wander about, bringing disaster and death to countless living beings.

The Great Witch Kuafu of the Witch Clan was enraged. He chased after the sun, only to be killed by the ten Golden Crows. The Great Witch Houyi flew into a rage, forged divine arrows, and shot down nine of the Golden Crows.

This caused relations between the Witch and Demon Clans to grow even more hostile.

The ten Ancestral Witches stormed the Heavenly Court and fought the Demon Clan in a decisive battle!

The Demon Clan relied on ancient divine artifacts and the Grand Formation of the Stars to hold the line. Because the ten Ancestral Witches were too few in number, they could not activate the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation and condense the True Form of Pangu.

In the end, the Ancestral Witches and the great figures of the Demon Clan perished together. The Demon Master Kunpeng took the Hetu and Luoshu and fled!

The Ancestral Witch Houtu sensed that the Witch Clan had committed too much slaughter and would sooner or later be rejected by the Heavenly Dao. Thus, she transformed herself into the Six Paths, completed reincarnation, and secured a slim chance of survival for the Witch Clan.

After this battle, the Witch and Demon Clans suffered heavy losses. The Witch Clan withdrew into the Netherworld, while the Demon Clan withdrew to the North Continent. Neither clan retained the strength to rule Heaven and Earth, and the Human Race rose to prominence at this time.

At this point, Chen Sheng returned from his thoughts. He shook his head and said with some emotion, "Both the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan were defeated and forced to retreat. They will not be the masters of the next era in the Primordial World."

Nuwa and Houtu were both stunned on the spot, unable to recover for a long time.

After all, whether it was the Witch Clan or the Demon Clan, they were the strongest and most supreme existences in the current Primordial World!

Yet Chen Sheng said that both the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan had been defeated and forced to retreat, and that neither of them would be the master of the next era!?

How was that possible? Nuwa and Houtu were both somewhat doubtful.

Nuwa furrowed her brows and asked in disbelief, "The Witch Clan and the Demon Clan are overlords of the Primordial World. How could they..."

Chen Sheng looked at Nuwa and Houtu as though they were idiots and said, "During the Dragon-Phoenix-Kirin Tribulation, did the Dragon Clan benefit? Did the Phoenix Clan benefit? Or did the Kirin Clan benefit?"

Nuwa was immediately rendered speechless, because all three clans had once been overlords of the Primordial World.

Yet none of the three clans had gained any advantage during the Dragon-Phoenix-Kirin Tribulation!

Nuwa and Houtu were both utterly shocked, and at the same time, they began pondering many things.

Chapter Twenty-Three: Nuwa and Houtu Were Numb, and Suirenshi Came to Visit

Since both the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan had been defeated, who was the ultimate victor?

After a moment of silence, Houtu asked curiously, "Even the strongest Witch Clan and Demon Clan were defeated, so who was the final victor?"

Nuwa also looked at Chen Sheng with a curious expression.

Chen Sheng glanced at Houtu and Nuwa and said mysteriously, "You want to know?"

Nuwa and Houtu nodded at the same time, looking at Chen Sheng expectantly.

Chen Sheng took a sip of tea and shook his head as he said, "Heaven's secrets cannot be divulged!"

Nuwa: ...

Houtu: ...

The two of them nearly choked on their own breath!

It was truly immoral to speak halfway and then refuse to continue!

Then Chen Sheng sighed and muttered to himself, "The Human Race is the true protagonist appointed by Heaven of the Primordial World!"

Nuwa and Houtu were shocked once again!

How was that possible!?

Ever since its birth, the Human Race had been the weakest existence in the Primordial World.

It had always been bullied and oppressed in the Primordial World!
