"What the hell is going on? What's happening?"
Scrambling to his feet, Wang Hao cautiously surveyed his surroundings.
This was ten thousand years after he returned to the Primordial World from the Super God Universe. After ten thousand years of arduous cultivation, he had finally digested all the gains from the Super God Universe and had the capital to allow his Primordial World self to advance to the Great Luo level.
Although the foundation required to World Advancement the Great Luo level in a top-tier world like Primordial World far surpasses that of the Super God Universe, it must be said that he ultimately made a very correct decision.
The ten years he spent in the Super God Universe allowed him to record all the changes as the Super God Universe evolved into the Great Thousand World Great Thousand World, a process filled with countless opportunities.
With the foundation transformed by this opportunity, he finally advanced to the Great Luo realm after ten thousand years of arduous cultivation.
Just as he was about to advance to the Great Luo realm, a powerful suction force suddenly came from the gate of the Wu God Hall behind him. Caught off guard, his entire body was sucked in, and that's how he ended up here.
" Ancestral Witch statue! Great God Pangu! Is this the interior of the Wu God Hall? Why is it so small?"
Looking around at his surroundings, Wang Hao was completely bewildered.
She was sucked in by the suction power emanating from the gates of the Wu God Hall, so this is very likely the interior of the Wu God Hall.
However, the space here was unusually small. The twelve Ancestral Witch statues standing on both sides were not much larger than his body. Even the Great God Pangu statue in the main seat was at most ten feet tall, which was far smaller than the huge size of the Wu God Hall outside.
Moreover, the shapes of these statues are too shabby!
"This is not the Wu God Hall, but the Ancestral Witch Hall, which you can also call the Pangu Temple. It is the transformation of the heart of the Father God Pangu after he perished in the Splitting Heaven and Earth."
Suddenly, a gentle and pleasant voice came from the side, startling Wang Hao and sending chills down his spine.
You should know that this is the first Wu God Hall built by the Great Demon God Chiyou. For countless years, no one has been able to break into this place. Who knows what great dangers lie inside?
What's most terrifying is the presence of living beings. Anyone who can exist here is definitely not weak. Let alone a Half-Step Daluo expert whose advancement was interrupted, even a Primordial Unity Realm expert might capsize here.
"Don't be afraid. You are also Houyi of my Witch Clan. I would never harm you."
The gentle, melodious voice rang out again, soothing Wang Hao's inner turmoil and drawing Wang Hao attention.
" Ancestral Witch Houtu?"
What came into view was a stone statue with a human body and a snake tail, seven hands behind its back and two hands in front of its chest, holding a ferocious serpent. It was the image of Houtu, one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches Ancestral Witch Houtu witches of the Witch Clan.
"So similar! Too bad you're not him! Not him!"
The stone statue transformed into its true form, its snake tail swaying. Houtu came before Wang Hao, gently stroking his cheek, her eyes filled with undisguised tenderness and sorrow.
" Ancestral Witch, you're talking about... the War God Xing Tian!"
The tenderness shown by Ancestral Witch Houtu, left Wang Hao even more bewildered, and he then thought of the War God Xing Tian.
His true spirit originated from the fallen Great Wu of the Witch Clan, the War God Xing Tian. If he were to be compared to someone, it would undoubtedly be that giant War God Xing Tian.
But the tenderness in Ancestral Witch Houtu's eyes ignited a burning Bagua fire within him; it seemed this Ancestral Witch of the Witch Clan had a secret affair with the War God Xing Tian...
"Bang!"
"Ah!"
Just as Wang Hao was letting his imagination run wild, conjuring up a series of melodramatic and tragic love stories for Houtu, the Ancestral Witch Houtu, and the War God Xing Tian, a jade-like hand with a pure white will struck his forehead. The pain, so intense it went straight to his soul, made him burst into tears.
"Are you really a clone of Xing Tian? How come your personality is so different from that blockhead's?"
Ancestral Witch Houtu glared angrily at Wang Hao Wang Hao, clearly having seen through his thoughts.
After all, even if she is only a manifestation of a wisp of primordial spirit power, she is still a Peak Primordial Unity Realm. Wang Hao's little schemes could not be hidden from her.
"I am now a completely independent individual, and my answer is different from Xing Tian's: I am not him!"
Rubbing the large bump on his forehead in frustration, Wang Hao realized the problem and quickly cleared his mind to avoid angering the big shot again.
"You're quite decisive, actually abandoning the inheritance that belonged to him within the True Spirit. You still have some potential, otherwise you really wouldn't be able to inherit his will to overthrow the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun."
Houtu nodded slightly in agreement with this point, and it was precisely because she saw this that she absorbed it.
These words caused Wang Hao's pupils to shrink sharply, but he forced himself to remain calm.
Xiao Mengmeng and the system are his biggest secrets, but judging from the appearance of this Ancestral Witch Houtu, she is obviously aware of the existence of the system and Xiao Mengmeng.
Whether the other party is friend or foe, this is very bad!
"You're quite cautious, but there's no need for that in front of me. After all, I'm considered your senior, though it's a pity I failed too."
Seeing what Wang Hao was thinking, Houtu spoke up to explain, her expression turning somber and resentful at the end.
" Xiao Mengmeng, what's going on?"
On the surface, he remained calm and appropriately displayed a sense of confusion, but in his heart, Wang Hao was frantically calling out.
My biggest secret has been exposed; I might die here.
The Xiao Mengmeng in the System Space rolled her Byakugan adorably and said, "What else could it be?"
They've made it very clear: he was one of your predecessors, an even earlier host than Xing Tian, and the one who came closest to success, almost perfecting the Earthly Dao and defeating that bastard Tian Dao.
Don't worry, she's a friend, not an enemy, at least not now. You can try to get some benefits from her."
While explaining to Wang Hao, Xiao Mengmeng also connected with the Divine Sense of Ancestral Witch Houtu.
Wang Hao was unaware of what Xiao Mengmeng and Ancestral Witch Houtu had exchanged, but their conversation lasted only a moment, after which Xiao Mengmeng in the System Space fell silent.
"Boss, as a senior, don't you have any pointers for me?"
Houtu was lost in thought and remained silent for Jiujiu, Wang Hao tentatively asked in a low voice.
"After my defeat, I have become a fixed destiny instead of an anomaly. Although this primordial spirit was left behind before my defeat and has been completely severed from my original body, it is really not good to interfere too much with your decision."
However, there's one thing I can remind you: since you've chosen to abandon the power inherited from Xing Tian, the loser, why not continue down this independent path?
Houtu did not want to interfere too much with Wang Hao's decision. After all, their greatest advantage over Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao was the uncertainty of the anomaly itself. Once they interfered, they might leave a trace of fate, turning the anomaly into a fixed destiny.
If that were to happen, everything would truly be over.
The words of the Ancestral Witch Houtu made Wang Hao fall into deep thought, and he vaguely understood something.
"You deliberately interrupted my advancement to the Great Luo level!"
He was about to advance to the Great Luo, but at the last moment, the gate of the Wu God Hall unleashed a suction power, interrupting his advancement. This was clearly the work of the Ancestral Witch Houtu, and there must have been some purpose behind it.
Based on Ancestral Witch Houtu's previous words, Wang Hao had a general idea.
"You mean my method of advancing to the Great Luo was wrong, or insufficient for me to contend with Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao!"
Since everyone shares the same goal, the person who would personally take action must also be acting towards that common objective.
"It's so much more pleasant to talk to smart people than to that blockhead Xing Tian."
Houtu did not deny it, but her smile became even gentler.
"Your idea is correct. It is impossible to defeat Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao by using the power of the losers. You have to create unprecedented power. As for how to create it, that is your own business. I will not interfere too much."
The main reason I brought you in is to resolve a potential problem.
As she spoke, Houtu reached out and summoned a simple, round-headed hammer from Wang Hao. It was the mysterious treasure that Wang Hao had obtained from the Celestial Star Battle Formation Diagram last time.
" Eastern Emperor Taiyi, will you come out on your own, or should I invite you out?"
Staring intently at the mysterious little hammer floating in the air, Houtu's beautiful eyes flashed with murderous intent, a stark contrast to her previous gentle and kind demeanor.
After all, the demon clan's Eastern Emperor Taiyi was the mortal enemy of their Witch Clan, and he had caused the deaths of several of her brothers in the Witch-Demon War. She would never forget this blood feud.
"Hmph! I never expected that the Escaped One would be a little fellow with your Witch Clan's bloodline!"
A cold snort rang out, followed by a phantom image that materialized into a majestic man with a golden bell on his head. This man was none other than the Demon Great Emperor, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, or more accurately, Eastern Emperor Taiyi's remaining primordial spirit.
The true form of Eastern Emperor Taiyi perished in the Great War of the Wu and Demons long ago, a fact confirmed by several Heavenly Dao Sage. He is now merely clinging to life with the help of a supreme treasure.
"What are you humming about? You willingly became dogs for the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun, and in the end, you were abandoned by your masters. What's there to be proud of? In the end, you couldn't even protect the treasure left behind by the Father God. You're utterly useless."
"You...
I will not stoop to the level of a mere woman!
His face was ashen, but Eastern Emperor Taiyi ultimately managed to suppress his anger.
There was no way around it; this was the Pangu Temple. Even in his prime, he wouldn't dare enter, let alone in his current remnant soul state.
"Young man, would you like to have a great opportunity?"
Turning his gaze to Wang Hao, Eastern Emperor Taiyi had a bold yet helpless idea.
Now that Ancestral Witch Houtu, has already taken matters into her own hands and placed her inside the Pangu Temple, judging from that woman's appearance, there's absolutely no way she'll let her go.
Rather than sacrificing ourselves in vain, we should leave some room for maneuver and pave the way for the demon race's future.
Although Houtu showed disdain, she remained silent, clearly acquiescing to the exchange between Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Wang Hao.
"Yes, of course I want it!"
Wang Hao glanced at Ancestral Witch Houtu and, seeing that she didn't object, quickly nodded, overjoyed.
After all, this is Eastern Emperor Taiyi from the Primordial World, not that dubious character from the Legend of Qin World. He is an absolute giant, and even a hair from that character's leg is thicker than his.
Even if such a great opportunity given by a tycoon is poisonous, he has to desperately swallow it.
"I can pass on all the Innate heritage accumulated by the demon race to you. In return, you must carry on the Innate heritage of my demon race on my behalf, whether in the Primordial World or in other heavens and myriad realms."
Furthermore, you must dedicate yourself to reconciling the relationship between the Human Clan and demon races. Consider the hammer of this Eastern Emperor Bell as an apology from the demon race for harming the Human Clan back then. From now on, the Cause and Effect between our two races will be settled.
You might agree?
Eastern Emperor Taiyi was a decisive person. Once he made up his mind, he didn't bother with any more nonsense and went straight to stating his own conditions.
"Ha! It's just the Chaos Bell Chaos Bell, why call it the Eastern Emperor Bell? What a self-aggrandizing act!"
With a disdainful curl of her lip, Houtu showed utter contempt for Eastern Emperor Taiyi's final act of affectation.
