Yes!
Why not try to carve out and preserve a sliver of life for the countless beings of the Primordial Wilderness myself?
Just as Xuan Qing had said, her realm far surpassed his. If he could open a great path for the yin spirits, why could she not seize a sliver of life for all living beings?
At that moment, Houtu seemed to attain sudden enlightenment. Her Dao heart cleared completely as she chuckled. "When things do not go as planned, seek the cause within yourself. Keep your heart broad; seek nothing outside!"
She repeated Xuan Qing's words over and over, then slightly cupped her hands toward him. "Thank you, Daoist friend. I know what I should do now!"
The greater one's ability, the greater one's responsibility.
Her strength far exceeded Xuan Qing's. Naturally, she should not place her hopes upon him!
With that, Houtu bid Xuan Qing farewell and left Mount Tai. She intended to travel through the Primordial World and seek out that sliver of life for its billions upon billions of living beings!
"May the Ancestral Witch have her wish fulfilled!"
