"Turn into a ghost on the spot?!"
Even Dong Qianqiu, who had spent so long in the Underworld, had never heard that term before.
But on closer thought, Yingning had a point.
Across all six realms, only evil ghosts could survive having their heads cut off.
"And that reason was Houtu?" Du Yu interjected.
"All we can say is that it's possible." Dong Qianqiu nodded. "After all, we couldn't receive any footage of Houtu and Xingtian together, so we don't know exactly what they said to each other."
Du Yu nodded silently without replying.
"At what point do you think we should descend?" Dong Qianqiu asked Du Yu.
Du Yu considered for a moment, then said, "We don't need to take part in the early war between the Yellow Emperor and the Flame Emperor, or even the alliance's Great War against Chiyou. But we need to think carefully about what happened afterward."
"I agree," the Weaver Girl said with a nod. "If we're going to descend, we should intervene in this Legend after the Battle of Zhuolu."
Dong Qianqiu nodded, took a sheet of paper from the documents in her arms, and said, "I've drawn up several Descent plans, including how many people should go and what identities they should assume. Take a look."
Du Yu took it and looked it over. It was indeed a very detailed set of recommendations for the Descent.
Dong Qianqiu had stated her position at the very beginning of the document:
"Since this mission involves so many parties, it can only be carried out by sending in a small number of people. The number of Operators will be set at three, who will approach Xingtian, Houtu, and the Yellow Emperor respectively, severing Houtu's romantic bond while ensuring that no part of the story changes."
