"I object"...

This was Chen Xuan's inner thought, but it came from Ancestor Witch Houtu's lips!

Upon closer inspection, Houtu's jade-like face was frosty. Her slender, jade-like fingers were clenched so tightly they turned white. Her pearly teeth bit down on her red lips, and her beautiful eyes were filled with unwillingness and resentment!

Just as Chen Xuan had said.

In the conflict between the Wu and Demon clans, the Wu clan had twice marched on the Heavenly Court. Each time, just as they were about to shatter the Lingxiao Palace and destroy the Demon clan...

Hongjun would inexplicably jump out to mediate.

And he'd even given it a noble name: "To save all living beings, out of compassion and benevolence, peace is paramount!"

Just admit you're biased, no need to put it so poetically!

So-called compassion hid favoritism towards the Demon clan, and suppression and control of the Wu clan.

So-called peace was merely a guise to protect the Heavenly Court!

As the saying goes, even a clay figurine has a temper!

As her thoughts churned, Houtu felt a surge of stifled frustration and indignation welling up in her chest, pressing down on her so hard she could barely breathe!

Hongjun...

That hypocritical old bastard!

"Next, I'll leave it to you, senior. Thank you for your hard work."

"No matter the outcome, no matter the consequences, I, your junior, am willing to bear them with you, to advance and retreat together!"

Having thought everything through, Houtu spoke with the coldest tone, uttering the gentlest words.

She clearly displayed a resolve to die, vowing to defend the dignity of the Wu clan!

"Don't worry, I'll make sure we fly!"

Seeing Houtu's resolute stance, Chen Xuan felt unburdened. He patted his chest and said confidently.

"Mhm!"

Houtu nodded gently, tears glistening in the corners of her eyes. She had once again regained her usual adorable and lovable demeanor.

From the beginning until now, she and Chen Xuan had gone through thick and thin together, facing life and death.

At this moment, she trusted Chen Xuan unconditionally!

Even if it meant fighting until the Wu clan was annihilated, the heavens collapsed to the northwest, the Primordial Desolation shattered, chaos returned, and she herself perished, she would have no regrets!

Let alone sacrificing herself for Chen Xuan.

She would do anything!

Following Houtu's public refutation of Hongjun, the entire space suddenly fell into a dead silence, all sounds ceasing.

Everyone was stunned!

Completely stunned!

Whether it was the forces of the Demon clan and the Heavenly Court.

Or all living beings across the heavens.

Even the countless onlookers.

They almost choked on Houtu's words, each and every one of them utterly flabbergasted.

"Did I hear that right? Ancestor Witch Houtu just said... 'I object'?!"

"Hiss— She dares to defy a Sage's face and take an opposing stance against the Dao Ancestor? Treasonous! Utterly treasonous!"

"The Dao Ancestor went to the Wu-Demon battlefield himself, deigning to descend and offering a way out... only for Houtu to sabotage it?! This..."

"As expected, as expected, the Wu clan truly doesn't understand the Heavenly Mandate!"

In an instant, the entire Primordial Desolation erupted into an uproar, a cacophony that refused to subside for a long time.

Even Hongjun himself was momentarily stunned, wondering if he had... misheard?

It wasn't until Sage Jieyin flew into a rage, roaring, "Insignificant ant, how dare you! How dare you defy the Dao Ancestor's decree! You... have chosen the path to your own demise!!"

"Please, Dao Ancestor, take action and suppress this villain!!!"

Rumble—

The next moment, what responded to Jieyin was endless wind and axe light, a power that destroyed heaven and earth, continuously pouring into his body and soul, collapsing his physical body and shaking his primordial spirit.

Screams and wails erupted one after another!

Seeing this, Hongjun's expression turned grim. He suppressed a trace of anger and stared intently at the graceful figure, coldly questioning, "Houtu, what do you intend to do?"

"Hmph, you ask what I intend to do? Isn't that asking the obvious!!"

"Open your eyes and see for yourself, what is the destiny of our Wu clan!"

Chen Xuan spoke neither servilely nor arrogantly, his words sharp and resonant, filled with righteous indignation.

Hearing this.

Hongjun glanced over.

Countless gazes then focused on the sky above the ancestral land of the Wu clan.

If you feel this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

At first glance.

They saw the heavens and earth resounding with roars, immeasurable rays of light and auspicious purple qi swirling, and rolling destiny like a black sea pouring in, finally condensing into a golden dragon that blotted out the sun and obscured the sky. Though it flickered in and out of existence, its peerless dominance could not be hidden!

"Roar—"

Although the golden dragon was ethereal and had not yet truly taken shape, it already exuded a vast dragon's might. It raised its head and roared, its voice shaking the nine heavens.

It trembled the Dao hearts of all beings in the heavens.

It swayed the primordial spirits of countless demons.

"This is... the Wu clan's Golden Dragon of Destiny?! The Wu clan actually... condensed a Golden Dragon of Destiny?!! Hiss—"

Di Jun, the Lord of the Heavenly Court, suddenly raised his eyebrows, his eyes splitting, his Dao heart suffering a violent blow.

Beside him, Eastern Emperor Taiyi also felt it was incredible!

He never expected...

After the conflict between the Wu and Demon clans, and under the great calamity, the Wu clan's destiny not only did not diminish but instead became more profound and solid, continuous, and vast!

In contrast, the Demon clan's Heavenly Court, with its already thin and weak destiny, after enduring wind and rain, and the great calamity, was like a candle in the wind, scattered and drifting, on the verge of dissipation and destruction at any moment!

It clearly showed the state of a setting sun!

As the main characters of the same calamity, the destiny they carried had such a huge disparity!

Who could bear such a sense of loss?!!

In this regard, if the Dao Ancestor's true form had not personally arrived today, their Demon clan... would have perished!

What a stroke of luck, truly a stroke of luck!

Let alone the two Golden Crows and countless demons.

Even the Ancestor Witches and the billions of Wu clan beings felt disbelief.

Especially the Ancestor Witches, they had been so caught up in the killing before, so carried away, that they were completely unaware...

That the Wu clan's destiny had already surged to this point!

"Hahahaha— Our Wu clan is destined for great prosperity!"

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

Before long, as more and more members of the Wu clan realized what was happening, they became impassioned, their fighting spirit surging, and some were even moved to tears, weeping with joy.

Regarding this.

Hongjun was only slightly surprised for a moment, his inner waves calm.

This was because he knew that it was Ancestor Witch Houtu who had set up the complete Dutian God-Demon Array, suppressing the Demon clan's Heavenly Court.

The scales of destiny had severely tilted, almost to the point of overwhelming the Wu clan!

But...

This was only temporary!

"Houtu, what exactly do you want to say?"

After a moment of contemplation, Hongjun asked indifferently.

"All beings in heaven and earth can see it. The Wu clan's destiny is continuous, manifesting a golden dragon that intimidates the nine heavens. This battle... the advantage is with our Wu clan!"

"In this battle, the Demon clan is bound to be annihilated! The Heavenly Court's fortune is at its end!"

"Yet the Dao Ancestor, as soon as he opens his mouth, asks us Wu clan to stop fighting and compromise? Agree? Hongjun, you are not worthy of talking about compromise!!"

Before long, Chen Xuan's voice shook the surroundings, his gaze sharp as a blade, as he publicly rebuked Hongjun: "The Wu clan fought to the death, their blood staining the heavens and earth. We have finally managed to preserve our foundation. Why should the Demon clan enjoy the heavenly palace and rule the celestial sphere, and call for a truce? It is merely your scheme to balance the Wu clan and protect the Demon clan!"

Rumble—

As these words were spoken, The hearts and minds of all beings in the world trembled.

The Sages stared in terror, breaking out in a cold sweat.

They of course knew these shallow principles, but... but who dared to refute the supreme Primordial Desolation Dao Ancestor?

Hiss—

Ancestor Witch Houtu, she truly dared to speak!

"You transform into Reincarnation, the Wu clan governs the underworld. This is the principle of the Heavenly Dao's operation, and it cannot be defied," Hongjun said, his eyes sinking slightly after listening.

These words seemed very pale and powerless, lacking any convincing force.

Therefore, Chen Xuan naturally did not buy it!

"Twisted logic!"

"Hypocritical!"

The next moment, Chen Xuan was amused to the point of anger, and then he spoke with a cold laugh, "If the Heavenly Dao is determined by you, then this principle is wrong! Since it is wrong, then today... I will overturn this so-called agreement!"

"Since the Heavenly Dao is not just, then the Wu clan will shatter this heaven and destroy this earth!"

"Hongjun, come and fight—!!!"

Rumble!
