Primordial Wilderness: I Keep Offering Poisonous Schemes! Houtu Urges Me to Calm Down, Part 12

If it were carried out, then even if the Demon Heavenly Court possessed heaven-reaching power, it would still be doomed to perish!

Unfortunately, this time, there was no longer the excuse of deceiving themselves that it was for the sake of the Primordial Wilderness!

Thus, the many Ancestor Wus felt deeply conflicted and awkward. Some somewhat agreed, while others somewhat resisted.

Yet even those who agreed the most felt that it was a little too extreme.

Even Dijiang, as the leader of the Wu Clan, would not normally allow pity to affect him.

But at this moment, he could not help but hesitate.

Seeing the many Ancestor Wus being stunned into silence once more, Chu Xuan was somewhat dissatisfied again.

What was going on? What was this supposed to mean?!

Such a brilliant idea of his had not received immediate approval. Was that reasonable?

Chu Xuan could not help wanting to say a few more words for himself.

"Fellow Ancestor Wus, this is for the sake of our Wu Clan!"

"How can we be softhearted!"

"Besides, what difference is there between dying to heavenly tribulation now and dying to heavenly tribulation in the future? Either way, it lightens the burden on the Primordial Wilderness!"

"I think..."

However, before Chu Xuan could finish this time, he was immediately interrupted.

It was still that familiar voice, gentle yet powerful, but the words were different from last time.

"No! How can we harm hundreds of millions of innocent living beings for our own selfish desires!"

"We established heavenly tribulation to prolong the great fortune of the Primordial Wilderness, to preserve the natural workings of heaven and earth. To recklessly toy with it and strengthen heavenly tribulation has already gone against its original intent!"

"I will absolutely not agree!"

"My brothers and sisters, you will not agree either, will you!"

The peerlessly beautiful Houtu Ancestor Wu had a gentle face filled with resolve. As she looked toward the other Ancestor Wus, some among them guiltily averted their eyes.

In truth, some of them thought this plan was rather good. It was merely too extreme. If they only caused a slight backlash and did not go overboard, it would actually be quite nice!

Looking at the steadfast Houtu and the complicated gazes that occasionally turned his way, Chu Xuan inexplicably felt a little guilty.

She was the leader of his tribe, and she had taken rather good care of him since he had transmigrated into this world.

The little conscience he possessed made him stumble for words for a moment, unable to think of how to fool her.

Then, before he could strangle that conscience of his, Di Jun spoke up. He had clearly made his decision.

"Forget it. Let this matter go!"

"Our little sister is right. This matter goes against our original intent, and the karma involved is no small matter!"

"There is no need to bear such karma for the sake of a mere demon race!"

Hearing this, the many Ancestor Wus also came to their senses somewhat, feeling that Chu Xuan had led them into a ditch.

That was right—it was merely a demon race!

Although the Demon Heavenly Court had previously seemed like oil thrown onto a blazing fire, they had not truly taken it too seriously.

The grand tide of the future was the future. If they strangled it in advance, it might not be impossible.

It was only because Chu Xuan had led them into a ditch earlier, making them instinctively connect it to the great calamity and become somewhat urgent.

But now that Di Jun had laid it bare, the many Ancestor Wus felt capable again.

Now that the grand tide had already been severed, the threat of the demon race had plummeted. Why did they need to go out of their way to play the villain?

As the many Ancestor Wus unanimously agreed, Chu Xuan's second poisonous scheme since transmigrating to the Primordial Wilderness was successfully rejected.

This made Chu Xuan let out a long sigh.

He could hardly say that he was a transmigrator, that he knew just how powerful the demon race would become in the future, or just how shamelessly Hongjun above them would favor one side!

Though he knew his plan was somewhat extreme, it really was effective!

He felt rather indignant, believing that his character had been somewhat misunderstood.

It was only a little wind and frost after achieving success. How could that be called a poisonous scheme!

Chu Xuan shook his head, but ultimately did not argue any further.

He had only just risen to his position, so it would not do to make things too tense. Those calamities would erupt sooner or later, and he was in no hurry to raise his cultivation for the moment.

However, though he had taken a step back, Chu Xuan would not yield too much. There were still some things worth fighting for.

This was also a good chance to wake the many Ancestor Wus up.

With an idea in mind, he immediately changed the subject.

"Fine, if you Ancestor Wus are unwilling to use this plan, that is no matter!"

"However, there is one point I must mention. Even if we do not act through heavenly tribulation, we must still make arrangements regarding Eastern Emperor Taiyi's refinement of the Heavenly Tribulation Dao Fruit!"

"Otherwise, if he truly discovers that someone is plotting behind heavenly tribulation, it will instead be easy for the myriad races to share a common hatred and unite around the demon race!"

"Schemes were divided into yin and yang to begin with. Like a sharp blade—if it did not wound the enemy, it wounded oneself!"

This time, Chu Xuan's words made many of the Ancestor Wus nod in unison, their expressions turning solemn.

Though this newly arrived little brother's plan was somewhat ruthless, his wisdom was absolutely not to be underestimated. Moreover, it was all for the Wu Clan.

While they hesitated over such a ruthless scheme, it was not as though none of them agreed with it.

And since the matter had already been raised, the Ancestor Wus naturally would not overlook it.

PS: The new book is still in its seedling stage!

This little author begs for flowers, rewards, monthly votes, rating votes, comments, and every form of support!

"Since that is the case, we'll use the backlash of the Heavenly Tribulation Great Dao against Eastern Emperor Taiyi later!"

"Though a plan to wipe out an entire bloodline is unacceptable, merely striking at Eastern Emperor Taiyi is still a good thing! After all, a Quasi-Saint is not to be taken lightly."

"Gonggong, Zhurong, can you do it?"

Di Jun spoke and set the plan in motion.

It also served as some compensation for rejecting part of Chu Xuan's earlier proposal—an act of consolation, so to speak.

Zhurong and the others nodded and accepted the order.

As Heavenly Tribulation Dao Ancestors, accomplishing this would not be difficult, even though their cultivation was inferior to Eastern Emperor Taiyi's at present.

But what they were competing in now was the Heavenly Tribulation Great Dao. The other side could only act through those six Great Dao Fruits.

On their side were the Dao Fruits of seven Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals, facing one Dao Fruit that could barely be counted as belonging to a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. It was simply effortless.

And this time, Houtu did not raise any further objections. If they were merely targeting the Demon Race—and Eastern Emperor Taiyi at that—she naturally did not mind.

Still, Houtu cast a lingering look at Chu Xuan in the distance, feeling that she understood this newly born clansman of hers less and less.

Clearly, in the past...

Houtu let out a faint sigh.

It was time to make their move!

Chu Xuan saw the look in Houtu Ancestor Wu's eyes, but his heart did not stir much. He merely felt that he was still a little too kindhearted.

Because Houtu Ancestor Wu had hesitated. If he had truly been in the wrong, then so be it—but he was doing this for the Wu Clan.

In the future, the Wu Clan would truly be exterminated. Even Chiyou, who had inherited half the Wu Clan's bloodline, would fall flat on his face.

Only Houtu would remain within reincarnation, neither living nor dead.

Compared to the Wu Clan that had already been wiped out, what did these ruthless schemes of his amount to?

His fortunes were bound to those of the Wu Clan; if one prospered, both prospered, and if one suffered, both suffered.

To act for the Wu Clan was to act for himself.

He did not want to go down with the Wu Clan, which was why he had stepped forward to let the Primordial World Myriad Spirits suffer a little. He would bear the infamy himself.

"Looking at it this way, Hongjun is still temporarily a cut above me. He uses the greater tide as a blade—so even if someone senses that something is wrong, they have no way to refute it!"

"It seems I still need more tempering!"

"Mm. From now on, I can't give the Ancestor Wus another chance to reject me!"

Chu Xuan made up his mind.

Then he too began preparing to strike at Eastern Emperor Taiyi when the time came.

As the Heavenly Tribulation Dao Venerable, he wielded every path of the Heavenly Tribulation Dao. He was more suited than the Ancestor Wus, each of whom controlled only one path, to orchestrate and unify this backlash.

He merely needed to draw more heavily upon the power of several Ancestor Wus.

If he unified all the Dao Fruits, he might not lack the power of a Quasi-Saint.
