Eastern Emperor Taiyi's pupils suddenly contracted, and his voice became hoarse:
"After Houtu merges with the Dao, will she, like Nuwa, be bound by the Dao of Earth Dao? Will she no longer be able to interfere in matters of witches and demons?"
"Good."
Di Jun nodded slowly, his eyes flashing with a sharp light:
"If the Earth Dao awakens and Reincarnation is established, Houtu, as its ruler, will inevitably merge with the Earth Dao Earth Dao and be subject to its authority."
"At that time, although she will gain eternal life and Immeasurable Merit, she will no longer be able to participate in the Witch-Demon War as Ancestral Witch as before."
"Perhaps... just as Nuwa did with the Human Race, she could only stand by and watch the Witch Clan from the sidelines."
Upon hearing this, Eastern Emperor Taiyi felt a sudden sense of clarity!
Yes!
Nuwa Creates Humans and became a saint, enjoying the Human Race Fortune. However, after becoming a saint, she never truly protected the Human Race again.
Why?
Because of the Heavenly Dao Restraint!
Sage must be detached from worldly affairs, maintain order, and be impartial.
If Houtu were to Earth Dao with the Earthly Dao and become Earth Dao ruler... then she would also be subject to Earth Dao constraints, needing to maintain the Cycle of Reincarnation Order and balance life and death in the Great Wilderness.
Will she still be able to fight for the Witch Clan as she always has?
Can he still join forces with his eleven Elder Brother to summon the Pangu Phantom?
I'm afraid... no!
Therefore, we need to wait.
Di Jun's voice turned cold, and his gaze swept towards the direction of Buzhou Mountain:
"Only when Houtu fully merges with the Dao, when Reincarnation is truly established, and when the authority of the Earth Dao manifests... will the limitations within become clear."
"If Houtu is truly like Nuwa, bound by constraints after becoming a saint and unable to intervene in the Great Tribulation... then that will be the time when my demon race truly annihilates the Witch Clan!"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi nodded emphatically, his eyes flashing with murderous intent once more.
"Brother is absolutely right!"
"If we attack rashly now, and Houtu, after merging Houtu the Dao, is still able to participate in the Witch-Demon War... then my demon race may suffer a backlash."
"It would be better to observe the situation and wait until we have a clear understanding of the circumstances before launching a swift and decisive attack!"
The Your Majesties exchanged a glance, both seeing the undisguised greed and scheming in each other's eyes.
Whether Houtu Merged with Samsara is a blessing or a curse for the Witch Clan remains to be seen.
But for the demon race... this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to completely annihilate the Witch Clan!
"Pass down the order."
Di Jun flicked his sleeve, his voice icy:
"The entire demon race is on high alert; the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array can be activated at any time."
"But... you must not launch an attack without authorization."
"Those who disobey orders... shall be executed!"
The last three words, imbued with the Demon Emperor's majesty, resounded throughout the entire Demon Court!
"I will obey Your Majesty's decree!"
Countless demon generals responded in unison, their voices rising like a tidal wave, shaking the Heavenly Domain.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi also took a deep breath, suppressing the surging fighting spirit in his heart.
He slowly raised his hand, and the Chaos Bell subsided. The sun, moon, and stars on the bell stopped rotating and returned to silence.
"Big brother..."
Eastern Emperor Taiyi suddenly spoke, a hint of doubt in his voice:
"If Houtu is truly subject to constraints after Houtu with the Dao... then what about Xuandu?"
"This person is also Zenith Heaven, yet he is not bound by the Heavenly Dao Restraint, and even dares to depose Laozi, slay Nuwa, and recklessly interfere in the Great Tribulation..."
"Could he... become a variable?"
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere within the Imperial Palace froze once more.
Xuandu!
This name has now become a thorn in the heart of the demon race, a poisonous thorn deeply embedded in their flesh and blood, ready to erupt at any moment!
Hundred Year Zenith Heaven, the Disgraced Saints, the Gather Fortune, the capture of Fuxi, the absorption of the Nether River... every step tramples on the dignity of the demon race, every step subverts the Great Wilderness Order.
More importantly... this person cooperated with the Wu Clan, had a past relationship with Houtu, and even awakened the secrets of Houtu's Dao.
If he continues to interfere in the Witch-Demon War after Houtu enlightenment... will the Demon Race still have a chance of winning?
Di Jun's face was ashen, and his hands slowly clenched into fists hidden in his sleeves.
How could he not know of Xuandu's threat?
But now... can they Xuandu?
" Xuandu ..."
Di Jun gritted his teeth and whispered, his eyes blazing with the Solar True Fire:
"This boy possesses extraordinary fortune, is protected by the Tongtian, and is intimidated by the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation... To attack him now would be a greater loss than gain."
He paused, his voice turning cold:
"However... a great calamity is about to begin, the secrets of Heavenly Secret will be in chaos, and Saints want to eliminate it as soon as possible."
" Yuanshi, Jieyin Zhunti, Nuwa, Laozi... which of these people didn't want Xuandu to die?"
"At that time, the great calamity will erupt, the Calamity Qi will permeate the air, and Saints will join forces to besiege it... No matter how strong Xuandu is, what can it do?"
Upon hearing Eastern Emperor Taiyi's eyes blazed with golden flames once more.
"Brother, you mean... using someone else to do the dirty work?"
"Good."
Di Jun nodded slowly:
"No matter how strong Xuandu, he is ultimately just one person."
"Although the Interception Sect has Tongtian in charge, the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation cannot be broken without the Four Sages... If the Saints truly join forces, how many can Tongtian protect?"
"At that time, with Xuandu dead, the Jie Sect's Fortune will collapse, and our demon race will join forces with the Saints to annihilate the Witch Clan... The Great Wilderness will be ours for the taking!"
The sound was cold, revealing endless ambition and scheming.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi clapped his hands and laughed:
"Good! Great good!"
"Let Xuandu be arrogant for a few more days. When the great calamity erupts... that will be the time when he dies and his cultivation dissipates!"
The Your Majesties exchanged a smile, their eyes flashing with cold light.
It's as if I can already see the fall of Xuandu, the collapse of the Interception Sect, the destruction of the Witch Clan... and the day when the Demon Clan unifies the Great Wilderness.
However.
They were unaware.
Outside the Star Gazing Platform, deep within that vast sea of stars.
A barely perceptible Chaos Color Light Spot is silently suspended.
Within the points of light, Martial Dao Rune flowed, and a pair of calm, unwavering eyes reflected the two ambitious figures within the Imperial Palace.
"Using a borrowed knife to kill... annihilating the Witch Clan... unifying the Great Wilderness..."
Xuandu stood atop Lingyun Peak, his green robes fluttering slightly. His gaze pierced through billions of miles of void, landing in the direction of the Demon Court. A mocking smile slowly curved his lips.
"Good idea."
"Unfortunately... you miscalculated one thing."
He slowly raised his hand, and the illusory image of the Chaos Bead quietly appeared in his palm.
The crack that pierced through the pearl was still clearly visible, but the Chaos Dao Rhyme contained within it had already subtly merged with his own Martial Dao Law.
" Houtu unites with the Dao, Reincarnation will begin... The Earth Dao will be revived; this is the inevitable trend."
"But in this grand scheme of things... who is the true mastermind?"
Xuandu murmured to himself, his eyes swirling with Chaos Radiance like a galaxy.
He didn't glance at the Demon Court again, turning to look towards the Nether Blood Sea.
There, the Earth Vein Light Pillar had expanded to their maximum extent.
The Image of Mountains and Rivers solidified completely, evolving into a vast and boundless Great Wilderness Land Phantom.
The Reincarnation Dao Rhyme surged like a tidal wave, and were about to... take full shape!
"Soon..."
Xuandu's gaze narrowed slightly:
" The Earth Dao are about to awaken, Reincarnation is about to begin... It's time for this Great Wilderness to change."
The words had barely left his mouth.
"Boom!!!"
The Nether Blood Sea and the Earth Vein Light Pillar collapsed with a deafening roar.
It is not collapsing, but solidifying.
Countless rays of earthy yellow light converged and compressed inward, eventually transforming into a Chaos Color Giant Seal that stretched from Tongtian to earth.
The seal has six sides, each engraved with a divine pattern:
Heaven, humans, Asuras, animals, hungry ghosts, and hell.
The Six Paths Samsara reincarnation manifests here!
Beneath the giant seal, the filthy and malevolent energy churning in the Blood Sea receded like a tide, forcibly pushed aside by an invisible, mighty force.
Deep within the entire Nether Blood Sea, a deep and boundless pitch-black rift opened up.
Within the cracks, one can vaguely see mountains and rivers, the Reincarnation life and death, and the endless ebb and flow of True Spirit.
The Gate of Samsara burst open with a roar!
"Buzz..."
A pale yellow figure slowly emerged from the center of the giant seal, barefoot, her long skirt fluttering without wind.
Houtu stood atop the Samsara Seal, her face as beautiful as ever, but her eyes had turned into a Chaos Color, reflecting the cycle of the Six Paths and the changing of life and death.
She slowly lowered her eyes and looked up at the sky:
" Houtu has merged with the Earth Dao, and the Reincarnation has been established."
"From this day forward, all beings in the Great Wilderness whose True Spirit have perished may enter this Reincarnation and be reborn."
Silence returned to the Blood Sea.
Only the Cycle of Reincarnation Giant Seal hangs in the Nine Netherworlds, its Six Paths Radiance endlessly revolving, illuminating the entire Great Wilderness.
Houtu stood alone on the seal, her gaze sweeping across the netherworld, across the Blood Sea, and across the countless fallen True Spirit in the depths of the darkness.
She slowly raised her hand, and in her palm, an earthen-yellow Samsara Seal quietly condensed.
" Reincarnation... should be established."
The mark slipped from his grasp and disappeared into the depths of the Gate of Samsara.
"Boom!"
The entire Nether Blood Sea trembled violently!
The light of the Six Paths Samsara burst forth from within the gate, instantly covering the entire Nine Netherworlds and spreading towards the Great Wilderness Land!
Wherever True Spirit falls, it is drawn towards the Gate of Samsara!
