He agreed!

He actually agreed!

The Grand Pure Sage had actually agreed to Ancestor Witch Houtu's unreasonable and excessive demand!

At this moment, countless spectators exploded into an uproar.

This was simply worldview-shattering!

Amid their shock and horror,

the Sage's Majesty that had once stood lofty and inviolable in the impressions and subconscious minds of all beings in the Primordial World—

shattered in an instant!

It vanished completely!

Ancestor Zhulong's dragon eyes widened in disbelief. "Th-this... this... this majestic Sage's might, is that all?"

Phoenix Mother and the Qilin clan elders clicked their tongues, aghast beyond measure. "Ancestor Witch Houtu truly shook the mighty heavenly might with the body of an ant!"

"Gasp—she's truly incredible!"

Zhen Yuanzi, Minghe, and countless other innate deities of the Primordial World were likewise wide-eyed, their Dao Hearts profoundly shaken!

"Ancestor Witch Houtu, she really did it!"

"With the resolve to die and a certain deathtrap, she forcibly broke the deadlock and struck back against all the Sages! She did it! She's amazing!!"

"So... Heavenly Dao Sages are not truly unshakable! Their mighty Sage's Majesty is nothing more than this!"

"This is simply—too unbelievable!"

All living beings of heaven and earth, billions upon billions of creatures, were filled with solemn respect at this moment!

A tribute to Ancestor Witch Houtu!

Meanwhile, within the Wu clan's ancestral land, wave after wave of earthshaking cheers erupted, and countless members of the Witch Clan jumped about in excitement.

They sincerely felt proud—immeasurably proud—of their Ancestor Witch leader!

"The Sages of all heavens... compromised again!?"

"They actually... were truly bluffed by Senior Chen Xuan!"

Even Houtu herself was dumbfounded, her crimson lips parted wide enough to fit a...

Fist!

She found it equally unbelievable!

After the shock,

Houtu understood even more clearly.

No wonder Dao Ancestor Hongjun had plotted to make her Transform into Reincarnation. His intentions were truly sinister!

As long as the complete Great Array of the Stars was in her hands, even all the Sages of the heavens would be eclipsed!

No wonder!

No wonder!

Had Senior Chen Xuan not warned her, she would likely have already transformed into Reincarnation. With one of the Twelve Ancestor Witches missing and only a flawed array under their control, they fundamentally could not have contended against the Sages of all heavens. The Witch Clan... would have fallen because of it!

Much less shaken the mighty heavenly might.

They could never have held on until this very day!

Making the Sages' hearts tremble as they compromised and retreated time and time again!

Senior Chen Xuan...

So amazing!

Love him, love him!

As all sorts of thoughts surged through her mind,

Houtu's admiration and worship for Chen Xuan had become beyond words. She regarded him with solemn reverence and was overwhelmed with gratitude!

She made up her mind!

After the Lich Tribulation, she would certainly reward Senior properly...

To express her feelings.

Before long,

after Taiqing Laozi finished speaking,

he took the lead, gritted his teeth, and waved his hand, painfully parting with a pagoda, a diagram, and a fly whisk!

Yuanshi Tianzun also forced himself to part with his treasures, tossing out the Pangu Banner and the jade ruyi.

At the same time, he comforted himself inwardly. This is only temporary, nothing more than a delaying tactic. One day... I will make that bitch Houtu repay it a hundredfold, a thousandfold, ten thousandfold!

"Whatever she swallows today, I will make that bitch spit out every last bit someday! Hmph! ╯^╰"

Finally, it was Sect Master Tongtian's turn.

A bitter smile appeared on his handsome young face, and he felt utterly helpless.

This time, not only had he been dragged into this mess and stripped of the honorary title of "Pangu's True Lineage,"

but now he was also about to lose Qingping, the treasured sword he used to attain the Dao. Fate truly toyed with people!

Fortunately...

Yet what made Tongtian unable to bear it was...

all of this was merely Dao Ancestor Hongjun's delaying tactic!

Only Ancestor Witch Houtu would suffer.

As would the billions upon billions of Witch Clan beings!

After a sigh of reflection, the Qingping Sword hanging at his waist transformed into a streak of light and flew out.

Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda!

Three Treasures Jade Ruyi!

Taiyi Fly Whisk!

Taiji Diagram!

Pangu Banner!

Qingping Sword!

They were finally his!

Chen Xuan accepted them with delight and gathered all these supreme treasures into his sea of consciousness.

Then he hurriedly instructed Houtu, "Houtu, let me switch to my alt account. Take control of this body for now."

"Remember, no matter what, you must stall the Sages. No matter what they say, absolutely, absolutely do not withdraw the Great Array of the Stars!"

"?????"

Hearing this, Houtu was somewhat dazed. Besides her surprise, she was also extremely curious.

"Senior Chen Xuan, didn't we already settle everything? The Three Pure Ones have apologized and compensated us, and you've received the spiritual treasures. What more do you want?"

Regarding Houtu's question,

Chen Xuan directly read it and did not reply.

He switched to his alt account and buried himself in refining one defensive supreme treasure after another!

Although she could not understand what Chen Xuan meant or what he was up to, Houtu decisively complied out of trust in him.

She logged into her main account and retook control of the body!

But why did she feel...

that the burden on this body's shoulders was so heavy now?

She suddenly felt under enormous pressure!

It was as though a hundred thousand ancient divine mountains were pressing down on her, leaving her unable to breathe!

"Fellow Daoist Houtu, you have accepted the compensation. Can you now fulfill our agreement and withdraw the Dutian God-Demon Array?"

Sure enough, Taiqing Laozi had already begun urging her in a deep voice.

At this moment, he could not wait to see Houtu and the entire Witch Clan fall flat on their faces!

Once the Dutian God-Demon Array was withdrawn and Dao Ancestor Master took action, everything would return to its proper course!

That way, his companion spiritual treasure, the Exquisite Pagoda, along with the Innate Supreme Treasure Taiji Diagram and the top-grade innate Taiyi Fly Whisk, could return to their rightful owner!

"That's right, Houtu. What are you waiting for? Quickly withdraw the Dutian God-Demon Array, lest the creatures of the Primordial World continue to suffer!"

Seeing that Houtu remained motionless, having accepted the gifts without doing the job, Yuanshi Tianzun also grew impatient and repeatedly pressed her.

Today, he, Yuanshi, would reclaim everything that had once belonged to him!

He was just waiting for Houtu to foolishly fall for the trap and withdraw the Dutian God-Demon Array!

As for Sect Master Tongtian, hesitation and conflict appeared on his handsome young face, as though he were locked in an internal struggle. Should I tell Fellow Daoist Houtu that all of this is actually a scheme? Sigh... Tongtian, Tongtian!

"Fellow Daoists, don't rush. Wait a little longer, just a little longer."

Facing the aggressive pressure and urging of The Two Qing, cold sweat beaded on Houtu's fair, jade-like forehead. Her thoughts were a tangled mess, and unable to think of a way to stall for time, she could only force herself to brush them off.

"Wait? What are you still waiting for!? Are you trying to go back on your word?!!"

"Houtu, how dare you!!!"

Taiqing and Yuanshi again spoke impatiently.

"No, that's not it. It's just... could I trouble you all to wait a little longer?"

Houtu's palms were sweating, her nerves stretched to their limit. She was panicking so badly she was nearly in tears, looking utterly adorable.

She was just...

Wronged!

"What is Sister Houtu up to this time?"

Even the other Ancestor Witches found this rather puzzling. Every one of them was utterly confused and had no idea what was going on.

But then again,

why did they feel as though their little sister Houtu—the gentle and sweet crybaby who would burst into tears whenever she suffered the slightest grievance—seemed to have returned?

Was it an illusion?

Seeing Houtu's pitiful, heart-wrenching expression, the Three Pure Ones present were all dumbfounded as well.

No, where was that fierce bitch from before, the one who shouted about fighting and killing, battling heaven and earth, and acted so tough and domineering?

Why had she suddenly disappeared!?

It was as if...

she had become a different Witch!

"Since that is the case, then we shall indulge you. What harm is there in waiting a while longer!"

"Hmph, Houtu, I warn you: you'd best not play any tricks, or else..."

Seeing this, Taiqing and Yuanshi could not continue urging her. Otherwise, word would spread that they were bullying a mere woman, disgracing Pangu... ahem, disgracing the Three Pure Ones of the Profound Gate and tarnishing the reputation of Heavenly Dao Sages!

Hearing this, Sister Houtu could finally breathe a sigh of relief and immediately felt as though a great weight had been lifted.

Phew~ I finally fooled them!

I'm so scared!

Time trickled by.

All was silent, and the Primordial World's heaven and earth were deathly still.

Countless puzzled gazes focused upon them.

As though they were waiting for something.

No one knew how much time had passed.

Taiqing and Yuanshi had completely run out of patience.

They once again urged her sternly, "Houtu, what exactly are you trying to do? Why haven't you withdrawn the Dutian God-Demon Array? What are you waiting for!"

"What exactly are you waiting for? This is outrageous! Do you really think I won't lose my temper!? Ahhh!!!"

People were inclined to bully the weak and fear the strong.

Even Hun Yuan Sages were no exception.

Seeing Houtu's fearful and timid demeanor throughout, Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun no longer held back as they berated her.

As for why Houtu had suddenly changed her attitude, they merely assumed that she knew herself to be in the wrong and felt guilty. That was all; they gave it no further thought.

"Senior Chen Xuan, are you done yet?"

"I... I can't hold on much longer. I really can't take it anymore..."

Faced with the oppressive presence of two Hun Yuan Sages, Houtu finally experienced firsthand what it meant for Sage's might to be mighty and heavenly might to be like a prison. It was truly terrifying!

With no other options, she could only seek Chen Xuan's help, looking wronged and pitiful.

"I'm done, I've finished!"

"Leave the rest to me. Watch my performance!"

Fortunately, Chen Xuan finally responded!

Hearing those two sentences, Houtu immediately felt like a parched land receiving timely rain. Her tense emotions instantly eased and relaxed, and she was inexplicably filled with a sense of security.

She decisively handed control of the body back to Chen Xuan.

"Mhm! Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior!!"

After offering herself to Chen Xuan and thanking him,

Houtu thought she could finally relax completely.

But unexpectedly,

she regretted it the very next second!

All she heard was—

a light rebuke suddenly resounding through the boundless ancient starry sky, shaking the entire Primordial World!

"Dutian God-Demon Array, explode for me—!!!"

Rumble rumble rumble!!!

The Three Pure Ones: "⊙∀⊙!!!!"

The other Sages of the Profound Gate: "Huh?????"

And all living beings of heaven and earth: "!!!!!!"
