Houtu, You Wouldn't Want to... Sacrifice Yourself to Chen Xuan, Right?!

"You come from another world? And you're born from the same source as this Palace?"

Houtu froze again. She didn't know why, but after sensing Chen Xuan's existence, the incomplete wisp of her primordial spirit…

was actually mended at this very moment!

Her primordial spirit's perception became exceptionally sharp and incredibly full!

So, this is what it feels like to have a primordial spirit?

How profound!

A complete primordial spirit!

For every Wu clan being, this was the ultimate dream, yearned for yet unattainable.

Once upon a time, Houtu, in her quest to find a method for the Wu clan to cultivate their primordial spirits, resolutely traveled alone to the chaotic Zixiao Palace to seek the Dao.

She was willing to endure three thousand years of loneliness and desolation, but in the end, it was all for naught.

The Wu clan's incomplete primordial spirits became a thorn in Houtu's heart, and a great regret for the entire Wu clan.

If Chen Xuan hadn't expressed goodwill towards her, for a fleeting moment…

Houtu had truly wanted to refine him directly to mend her own deficiencies.

Amidst her shock and emotion, Houtu felt a chill of fear upon further reflection, decisively abandoning the thought of refining Chen Xuan.

After all, she had already attained the Quasi-Saint Dao fruit, her cultivation was profound, and she was considered a mighty figure of the Primordial Desolation.

She wondered, besides the high and mighty Hun Yuan Sages, what other beings could possibly occupy her body?

If the other party harbored malicious intent and were to possess and obliterate her, the consequences would be absolutely unimaginable!

Hiss—

Terrifying!

"Senior seems to be very knowledgeable about the Wu-Demon situation. Junior, Houtu, dares to seek your guidance!"

With various thoughts swirling, Houtu now regarded Chen Xuan as a mysterious and peerless mighty figure. She immediately showed deep apprehension and respectfully asked, "Senior?

Is this already the 'Senior' realm from the start?

It's clear Houtu has gotten ahead of herself!

Interesting!

Chen Xuan couldn't help but chuckle at Houtu's respectful address and her cautious, reserved demeanor.

He hadn't even started pretending yet, and Houtu had already elevated his status to the extreme…

What a satisfying feeling.

This way, he could save himself a lot of trouble, and things would proceed more smoothly.

"Houtu, listen to this Venerable's advice. The so-called Wu-Demon Calamity is all Hongjun's scheme!"

"This conflict between the Wu and Demon clans is destined to end in the tragedy of mutual annihilation!"

"Once you transform into Reincarnation, the Underworld Path's will will be suppressed by the Heavenly Dao. From now on, there will be no Sages in the Underworld Path!"

"Your transformation will allow the Heavenly Dao to meddle and infiltrate the Underworld Path's authority, turning it into a plaything for the Xuanmen Sages and all the gods and Buddhas!"

"Therefore, you must absolutely not transform into Reincarnation lightly!!!"

Chen Xuan patiently explained, not bothering with the overwhelming information.

Rumble…

A massive amount of information flooded into her mind. Houtu felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her graceful body trembled violently, and her beautiful eyes were filled with shock and horror.

Shocked!

And disbelieving!

In an instant, Houtu's mind was like being enlightened, and she suddenly awoke.

And, she realized it belatedly!

No wonder, no wonder!

No wonder Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who always remained aloof from worldly affairs, consistently disregarded worldly matters, and never paid attention to anything outside his window, would be so proactive when her opportunity to prove the Dao arrived!

He even kept sending her messages, urging her to enact reincarnation as soon as possible!

She had initially thought she was favored by Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

That he intended to help her prove the Dao and become a Sage, forging a good connection, and acted out of goodwill.

But it turned out this was all a long-planned conspiracy!

So!

It all makes sense now!

"So, whether I transform into Reincarnation or not, whether I participate in the Wu-Demon war or not, the Wu clan... is destined to be destroyed..."

"Heh, what a great Dao Ancestor of the Primordial Desolation! What a great spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao! Truly a brilliant scheme!"

After her Dao heart became clear, Houtu pursed her lips, smiling sadly, her words filled with sorrow.

She took a deep breath.

Collecting her scattered thoughts.

An unprecedented sense of immense crisis and helplessness instantly washed over Houtu.

While grateful for the truth Chen Xuan had revealed, Houtu also desperately hoped this peerless mighty being, Chen Xuan, would help the Wu clan... break free from this predicament!

She feared no death.

But she couldn't die without understanding why!

What did death matter?

But she couldn't stand being manipulated by others!

Right now, Houtu only wanted to preserve the Wu clan.

No matter the cost!

"Senior, do you have a way to break this predicament?"

"Junior dares to implore Senior to act, only seeking to save the Wu clan from their deep suffering and dire peril! No matter the price, Junior... can pay it!"

Afterward, Houtu bit her red lips lightly, trembling as she pleaded.

By the end, her desperate plea grew even stronger.

Seeing this.

Chen Xuan breathed a temporary sigh of relief.

Judging by Houtu's demeanor, it seemed she had come to a decision and temporarily abandoned the idea of embodying Reincarnation herself.

His life...

Was temporarily safe!

"Since I now occupy your body and have become a part of you, I, this venerable one, will mercifully help you."

"Hand over control of your body to me, and then, just watch my performance!"

Chen Xuan said immediately.

His words were filled with invincible confidence.

⊙∀⊙!!!!

Hand over my body... to Senior?!!

This sounds a bit off, doesn't it?

It sounds like the sort of thing a demonic cultivator would say when trying to possess someone!

Houtu was stunned by his words, nodding and falling into deep thought.

"Houtu, you don't want to... watch the Wu clan be utterly destroyed, becoming mere pawns of Hongjun and playthings of the Heavenly Dao, do you?"

Seeing Houtu's hesitation, Chen Xuan spoke frankly.

As soon as he said this.

An unnamable fire ignited in Houtu's eyes, her hatred surged, filled with indignation and unwillingness!

"I hope Senior will keep your promise. Afterward... Junior will be eternally grateful!"

Houtu no longer hesitated, acting decisively and dedicating herself to Chen Xuan.

After all.

Things having reached this point.

Did she have any other choice?

"Don't worry, I, this seat, will not fail you!"

"From this moment on, I am the Ancestor Witch of the Great Earth—Houtu! Hehehehe..."

While reassuring Houtu, Chen Xuan had already made up his mind.

Since he had transmigrated to this Primordial Desolation world and coincidentally coexisted with the Ancestor Witch Houtu.

Then...

He would do his utmost to properly reorganize this Primordial Desolation world!

To save the Wu clan!

Even if it meant utter defeat and perishing in the Dao in the end, he would still bring a little shock to this world!

This will stir up the Primordial Desolation, making even the Sages of the Heavens tremble!

Let all beings of Heaven and Earth, all the Sages of the Heavens, know…

The Wu clan shall not be insulted!

The Underworld Path possesses supreme majesty and cannot be blasphemed!

If we win, then all will be joyous!

Conversely.

If we lose?

Consider it a free Primordial Desolation experience card!

"Houtu, if not now, when will you transform into Reincarnation!"

Not long after, that familiar, enchanting voice echoed through Chen Xuan's ears once more.

He's here, he's here again!

"Transform into Reincarnation? Heh heh… transform into your mother's balls!!"

"Scram—"

RUMBLE!!!

In an instant, Chen Xuan's voice, filled with boundless indignation, carrying vast Quasi-Saint magic power, transformed into a grand chime, spreading throughout the myriad worlds of the Primordial Desolation!

Magnificent and resonant to the extreme!

Instantly shaking the universe!

"?????"

"Stare ⊙∀⊙!!!!!!!!!!!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

The gazes of all the Sages of the Xuanmen focused on Houtu, every single one of them widening their eyes, their eyeballs about to burst!

Initially, they were dumbfounded and stunned.

Then, they were shocked and surprised.

Even Hongjun wore an expression of disbelief!
