Lying Flat Requires Capital, Let Houtu Create Humans Instead of Nuwa

"Therefore, you must be more vigilant when dealing with Jie Yin and Zhun Ti in the future. Do not lower your guard, or you will find yourself schemed against before you even realize it."

"Ah..." Houtu froze, looking somewhat surprised. "Second Brother, didn't you say that among the future Six Sages of the Heavenly Dao, you respected Jie Yin and Zhun Ti the most?"

Zhu Jiuyin leaned toward Houtu, speechless, and tapped her on the head. "You, why are you so naive!"

"Do we have a good relationship with Jie Yin and Zhun Ti? Not to mention that as members of the Six Sages of the Heavenly Dao and disciples of Hongjun, they naturally stand in opposition to our Witch Race. Even setting those factors aside, from whose mouths did the infamous label of our Witch Race being the 'source of chaos' originate?"

"Based on these two points alone, our relationship with Jie Yin and Zhun Ti could never be good."

"Since our positions are naturally hostile, shouldn't we be all the more vigilant the more extraordinary they prove to be?"

Houtu was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up as if she had suddenly seen the light.

"That's right, Second Brother, you are absolutely correct! Our stance is naturally antagonistic to Jie Yin and Zhun Ti. If possible, they would scheme against us without the slightest hesitation. So, it's fine if we don't run into them, but if we do, we should just beat them to death."

Zhu Jiuyin paused, thinking to himself, Is she really that violent?

But immediately after, he clapped his hands. "Yes, that's exactly how we should do it."

"They possess world-shaking wisdom, while we possess world-shaking strength. Any struggle, in the end, comes down to one thing: using our advantages to strike at the enemy's weaknesses, and doing so with overwhelming force. This is what that human prodigy of later generations called 'you fight your way, I fight mine'!"

Hahaha...

At this moment, Zhu Jiuyin looked up and laughed heartily.

As Zhu Jiuyin laughed, Houtu joined in as well.

Clearly, she had truly understood his words and realized that her proposed solution was the correct one.

"But what if our strength isn't enough to suppress them?"

Houtu was, after all, the wisest among the Ancestral Witches, and she immediately identified a fatal flaw in the proposed solution.

"Isn't what we are doing now the best response to that very situation?"

Houtu was enlightened once again.

Indeed, if one were to name the greatest opponent of the Ancestral Witches and the Witch Race today, who else could it be but Hongjun!

And when the Ancestral Witches and the Witch Race face Hongjun, is it not a case of being outmatched in both wisdom and strength?

Consequently, Zhu Jiuyin had led all the Ancestral Witches and the entire Witch Race to make a strategic adjustment—lying flat.

In the end, the reason the Ancestral Witches and the Witch Race chose to lie flat was based on a single principle: since we are destined to lose the game, we simply won't sit at the table!

Of course, the confidence behind the Ancestral Witches and the Witch Race being able to lie flat lay in Pangu Hall, which possessed peerless defense and the ability to connect with the will of Pangu from the infinite past.

Beyond that, the Ancestral Witches and the Witch Race possessed the second-greatest strength in the Primordial World, surpassed only by Hongjun.

If it were any other Innate Demon God trying to lie flat under Hongjun's nose?

What were they thinking!

That was the Dao Ancestor; even if he didn't speak a word, the countless beings and factions in the vast Primordial World would likely line up from the foot of Mount Buzhou to its peak just to do his bidding.

It was precisely because they knew the strength of the Ancestral Witches and the Witch Race was truly formidable and terrifying that the area outside the Ancestral Land of the Witch Race remained so peaceful.

Conversely, if the Witch Race's strength weren't so great, do you think those two shameless ones from the West would dare to block the gates of the Ancestral Land?

After all, if one could gain the favor of the Dao Ancestor, the benefits would be immense. If Hongjun were to bestow a few Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, it would be an incredible profit!

So, lying flat also requires capital.

Seeing that Houtu had gained some understanding, Zhu Jiuyin smiled with satisfaction.

To be honest, among all the Ancestral Witches, the one Zhu Jiuyin valued most was this sister of his, who was currently the Ancestral Witch of Earth, and who would later be revered by all living beings in the Primordial World as Empress Houtu Pingxin, the one who would govern the Earthly Dao and become its spokesperson.

Zhu Jiuyin knew very well that besides mastering the Law of Earth, one of the Five Elements, Houtu also possessed the Law of Land.

If the Law of Earth was one of the Five Elements—a lower-tier, foundational law—then the Law of Land was a high-tier law, equal to or even superior to the Law of Five Elements.

Once the Law of Land was cultivated to its peak, one could control an entire continent with a wave of their hand and mobilize the infinite energy within the ley lines. As long as one stood upon the earth, they would be innately invincible.

Most importantly, the earth naturally possessed the attribute of nurturing all things, so Houtu's affinity for the Law of Creation was definitely no less than that of Empress Nuwa, the Holy Mother who had shocked the Primordial World with the Law of Creation and eventually created the Human Race.

It was only because Houtu previously lacked a Primordial Spirit that, despite her affinity for the Law of Creation, she could not gain the slightest insight into it.

But now, things were different.

Ever since Zhu Jiuyin had the entire Witch Race lie flat, and after being tempered by Great Dao Merit, the Turbid Qi within all the Ancestral Witches had been completely eliminated.

Under these circumstances, it was no longer a difficult task for Houtu to give birth to a Primordial Spirit.

I really want to see what kind of miracle will occur when the Law of Land and the Law of Creation are gathered in one person!

Thinking of this, Zhu Jiuyin couldn't help but look at Houtu again.

In the future, Houtu will surely be the supreme goddess governing life and creation!

To hell with Nuwa!

Zhu Jiuyin truly had little affection for Nuwa.

Not only because Nuwa was the Empress Wa of the Demon Race, but also because she truly lacked intelligence, and furthermore, her attitude toward the Human Race made Zhu Jiuyin feel somewhat disdainful and deeply annoyed.

Conversely, having read over a million books from the modern era, Zhu Jiuyin's fondness for the Human Race grew with each passing day.

In the eyes of Zhu Jiuyin, although the Human Race possessed various flaws and shortcomings, they seemed to be born with the power of creation. Within their frail bodies, they always seemed capable of erupting with a will that could reshape the heavens and earth. Guided by this will, the Human Race was always able to create new miracles in the midst of desperate situations.

Beyond this, Zhu Jiuyin had to admit that it was precisely because of those few Primordial World novels from the Human Race that he had been able to glimpse the fate of the Ancestral Witches and the Witch Race, which in turn led to the changes the Witch Race had undergone today.

Regardless of whether it was intentional or accidental, the Human Race truly held a monumental karmic debt with the Ancestral Witches and the Witch Race.

The Ancestral Witches were never the type of people like Jie Yin or Zhun Ti, who would see a karmic debt becoming too large and scheme to have the other party perish. If they owed something, they owed it, and if it needed to be repaid, they would certainly repay it.

Thinking of this, Zhu Jiuyin began to make up his mind.

"If Nuwa truly cannot create humans this time, then let our sister Houtu do it. In any case, it won't be long now until sister Houtu gives birth to her Primordial Spirit."
