This time, the three rewards were so lavish they rivaled the greatest fortune they had encountered since the creation of heaven and earth!
Primordial Violet Qi went without saying—it was the catalyst for attaining the Dao and becoming a Saint. Possessing Primordial Violet Qi meant possessing an opportunity to attain the Dao.
A complete set of Great Dao Laws was equally precious.
The reason the three thousand Gods and Devils of Chaos had been so powerful was that each of them was the embodiment of a complete Great Dao Law!
But since the creation of heaven and earth, only Saints could fully grasp Great Dao Laws. Even Quasi-Saints could only be considered beginners.
Ten million merit was just as astonishing.
Though no one knew how much merit Nuwa had gained from creating humanity, one thing was certain: none of the other great powers who remained could possibly possess ten million merit!
Thus, faced with such bountiful rewards, these great powers did not even find it strange that a second Witch-Demon War would arise.
There had already been a first one—what did a second or third one matter?
Besides, as Quasi-Saints, they could also sense the changes in the Heavenly Secrets. It foretold that perhaps the next great calamity was not far away.
Only, no one had expected this Witch-Demon calamity to be unprecedentedly terrifying.
The Witch and Demon Races were nearly wiped out entirely, and even the heaven and earth of the Primordial World were shattered!
[Di Jun failed to buzz in!] [Nuwa failed to buzz in!] ... [Zhunti successfully buzzed in!]
Zhunti grinned from ear to ear.
Within Spirit Mountain, he hurriedly shared the good news with Jieyin beside him.
Even his voice trembled slightly as he clutched Jieyin's Daoist robe tightly. "Senior... Brother!"
Jieyin was taken aback. "Junior Brother? What are you doing?"
Zhunti burst into laughter. "Senior Brother, I got it—I got it!"
Jieyin was greatly shocked. "Junior Brother? Who did you rape?"
"Pah, pah, pah! Could it be that Senior Brother's ears have gone deaf? I meant that I successfully buzzed in!"
"Oh, Junior Brother, what is there to be so excited about? We don't even know whether the question is difficult! And what kind of reward could it be? One or two spiritual treasures aren't worth getting so carried away over, are they?"
Zhunti's eyes burned as he said mysteriously, "Senior Brother, I'm afraid you'll jump out of your skin when I tell you. Sit tight!"
Jieyin listened expectantly.
"One strand of Primordial Violet Qi!"
Jieyin's eyes flew wide open. "Truly?"
"Absolutely no falsehood! There are also complete Great Dao Laws!"
"Hiss! This is far too shocking!"
"And ten million merit!"
"Ah! Ten million merit? That would be enough to serve as the foundation for founding a sect!"
Jieyin was overcome with excitement and rose directly to his feet.
"Junior Brother, look at the question quickly! Senior Brother will mobilize every resource at my disposal to help you answer it successfully!"
Zhunti looked as though victory were already in his grasp. "Rest assured, Senior Brother. I already have absolute confidence in this question!"
Jieyin asked curiously, "Could this question be extremely simple?"
Zhunti said, "Of course! Senior Brother, do you still remember the first question?"
"I remember. In the First War Between Witches and Demons, Tongtian answered incorrectly. The Witch Race won!"
Zhunti said smugly, "This second question asks about the second Witch-Demon War!"
Jieyin pondered for a moment. "The Witch Race's chances of winning must still be greater. After all, with the Great Formation of the Heavenly Gods and Fiends, unless two Saints strike with all their strength, the Demon Race simply cannot contend against them!"
Zhunti repeatedly shook his head. "Senior Brother, that is where you are mistaken. If the Demon Race were to suffer defeat twice in a row, you would be underestimating Di Jun and Taiyi too much!"
"The reason they lost the first time was because the Demon Race lacked enough Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals among the three hundred and sixty-five needed to operate the Grand Formation of Myriad Stars!"
"Therefore, after suffering one defeat, Taiyi and Di Jun will surely scheme in secret!"
Jieyin seemed to understand. "It seems that choosing victory for the Demon Race this time is the correct answer."
"Senior Brother is wise—one hint, and you grasp it completely!" Zhunti praised with a chuckle.
"Then hurry up and answer, Junior Brother!"
"Mm, Senior Brother, await my good news!"
Zhunti said, "Haha, fellow Daoists, why has everyone gone silent?"
Qin Feng said, "They're all waiting to see you make a fool of yourself. Good luck!"
Zhunti: "Many thanks to the group leader for the encouragement. Such a simple question will probably disappoint everyone. Haha, sorry, I just couldn't hold it in."
Kunpeng: "Zhunti, don't get smug. Going by the group leader's usual style, he's probably dug a pit for you already!"
Zhunti: "Yes, I'm actually very nervous. This question has troubled me greatly! Uh, hahaha, sorry, I couldn't hold it in again! Fellow Daoists, I won't pretend anymore—I'll lay my cards on the table. I'm ninety-nine percent certain of this answer. The reward is already in my pocket!"
East Prince Gong: "Hmph, Zhunti. The more happily you laugh now, the more bitterly you'll cry later!"
[Notice: The rewards for this question are generous. A wrong answer will likewise incur double deductions!]
Zhunti did not care in the slightest. Compared to the generous rewards, so what if something was deducted? Besides, there was no way he could get a question like this wrong.
Everyone else in the group thought the same at this moment.
Even Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, was actually inclined to believe that the Demon Race would win the second Witch-Demon War.
Though the Great Formation of the Heavenly Gods and Fiends was formidable, the twelve Ancestral Witches were not truly united.
Who knew what sort of trouble they might stir up during the ten thousand years after the truce?
Qin Feng, meanwhile, was looking forward to it greatly. As long as Zhunti answered correctly, he would receive double rewards!
That meant two whole strands of Primordial Violet Qi, two complete Great Dao Laws, and twenty million merit!
It would be enough to give him the foundation to attain the Dao!
Zhunti: "One golden lotus! I choose the Demon Race to win!"
Everyone held their breath, filled with anticipation as they quietly awaited the system's answer!
