Xuanxiao looked down at the crowd below, seeing them all lower their heads in silence. His gaze inadvertently fell on their hair, and he was momentarily stunned.

Then, a strange expression crept onto Xuanxiao's face as he mused to himself: "I hadn't noticed before, but now that they're all bowing their heads, I realize—their hairstyles are way too flashy! Could it be that when I had Big Brother change his hairstyle back to black in the chaos, it left a regret in his heart, so subconsciously he let the Ancestral Witches fulfill his unfulfilled wish this way?"

The Three Pure Ones' hairstyles were relatively normal. Laozi's white hair suited his old-man image, giving a sense of steadiness.

But looking at the Ancestral Witches—it was a visual disaster. Their hair was a riot of colors, each one more non-mainstream and flashy than the last. Standing together, they looked like a chaotic dance of demons, truly an eyesore.

Xuanxiao silently complained, clearly remembering the fleeting regret on Pangu's face when he had him change his hairstyle back to black.

Now, with the Ancestral Witches sporting such gaudy and flamboyant hairstyles, Xuanxiao couldn't help but overthink it.

Still, after a moment's thought, Xuanxiao decided not to bother with their peculiar hairstyles.

After all, in this vast Primordial World, bizarre Dao Bodies were everywhere. The Ancestral Witches' appearance wasn't all that outlandish.

With a seemingly gentle smile on his face, Xuanxiao swept his gaze across the crowd: "So, everyone, can anyone step forward now to answer the question I just posed?"

Xuanxiao's smile appeared warm and tender, like a spring breeze, but to the crowd, it felt like a demon's whisper, laced with a chilling edge.

The crowd looked at Xuanxiao's smile, then glanced at the large lumps bulging on Zhurong and Gonggong's heads, and couldn't help but shiver involuntarily. A chill surged from their spines, spreading through their bodies like an electric current.

Everyone knew that the Ancestral Witches' physical bodies were incredibly tough, and their heads were among the hardest parts of their bodies.

For Xuanxiao to raise lumps on their heads showed just how hard he could hit. How could the crowd not fear him?

Especially the Three Pure Ones and Gou Chen—their skulls were no match for the Ancestral Witches'.

With Xuanxiao's strength, a punch to their heads would surely smash them like a ripe watermelon, splattering into pieces.

"Why is no one talking? Is my question too hard, or have you all turned mute? Or do I need to crack open your heads myself to see what you're thinking?" Xuanxiao still wore a smile, but it only made the crowd more terrified.

Hearing this, the crowd didn't even dare to breathe, as if making a sound would draw Xuanxiao's attention.

Seeing them still silent, Xuanxiao frowned slightly: "Since none of you will speak up, don't blame me for calling on you by name."

At these words, even the usually steady Laozi couldn't help but shrink back.

The rest lowered their heads even further, wishing they could tuck their necks into their bodies, not daring to meet Xuanxiao's gaze, silently praying: "Don't pick me, don't pick me..."

"Laozi, Dijiang, Gou Chen—you three have always been vying for the top spot, haven't you? Then let you three speak." Xuanxiao's gaze fixed straight on them, his tone calm but carrying an undeniable authority.

Hearing that Xuanxiao hadn't chosen them, the rest breathed a collective sigh of relief.

But Laozi, Dijiang, and Gou Chen's faces stiffened instantly, as if frozen by a spell.

After a moment, the three exchanged glances, each hinting for the other to speak first, none willing to step up.

"Hurry up and say something! If you talk, I'll let you be the boss." Dijiang winked at Laozi and Gou Chen, trying to pass the hot potato to them.

But Gou Chen and Laozi weren't fooled. They had no intention of sticking their necks out now.

Besides, knowing Dijiang, they were sure he'd go back on his word as soon as this was over.

Dijiang had pulled such stunts plenty of times, doing it without a shred of guilt, relying on his thick skin and shamelessness.

The three were silent for a long while. Finally, seeing a hint of impatience creep onto Xuanxiao's face, Gou Chen and Laozi almost simultaneously looked at him.

After a moment's hesitation, Gou Chen was the first to muster the courage to speak:

"Master, I think this calamity's destruction of the Primordial World is far too great.

And as I see it, the Three Clans probably won't be the victors of this tribulation. In the end, they'll likely all suffer a three-way loss.

It's truly a pity—they've spent such a long time and put in so much effort, only to end up like this."

Gou Chen shook his head slightly with some regret as he spoke.

He knew well that the higher the Three Clans' status in the Primordial World, the worse their eventual fate would be.

But now, given their relentless conflict, even if they called a truce, it was already too late to turn back.

Over the years, the Three Clans had slaughtered countless beings and caused immeasurable damage to the Primordial World.

The Karma they bore was too heavy; they had long lost the right to become the rulers of the Primordial World.

Yet, still mired in Calamity Qi, the Three Clans hadn't realized how dire their situation was and kept fighting.

Hearing Gou Chen's words, Laozi nodded in agreement, feeling a deep resonance.

Gou Chen's thoughts aligned with his own; their judgments of the current situation were quite similar.

Dijiang, though he had no clue what was going on, saw Laozi nodding in approval of Gou Chen's idea and quickly nodded along, even shaking his head deliberately to feign deep insight, letting out a sigh.

An outsider might have been fooled by Dijiang's convincing act.

But this little trick of Dijiang's couldn't fool Xuanxiao and the others. Still, it was more than enough to bamboozle his dozen or so younger siblings.

At that moment, the Ancestral Witches gazed at Dijiang with admiration and said in unison: "Big Brother is amazing! He can actually understand Second Uncle and Gou Chen's conversation!"
