The Tenth Witch King

"Was it the intervention of the Celestial Person? Or the Netherworld Lord?"

Aside from Li Boyang and the Netherworld Lord, two Great Heavenly Deity of this era, Wu Zhen couldn't think of anyone else who could accomplish such a feat.

No, it wasn't them.

Yue shook his head decisively, denying Wu Zhen's guess, and sighed again.

"According to the Divine Witch's speculation, that should be a Dao Proving One from another timeline."

"What we want to steal is the ability to Refining Falsehood into Reality, which should be related to his path to Dao Proving."

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhen was taken aback at first, and then said with some helplessness.

"I almost forgot, ever since the Celestial Person created the Long River of Time, there are already more than just the two Great Heavenly Deity of this world hidden behind this world."

The Great Struggle initiated by Li Boyang did, objectively speaking, propel the entire world onto a spiraling upward trajectory.

However, not everyone thinks this is a good thing.

From the perspective of the gods of the Great Xia and the Ten Witches of Spirit Mountain, who are the beneficiaries, the instability brought about by the Long River of Time far outweighs the actual benefits it can bring.

"I agree. When that candidate appears, I will help him gain the wisdom and power of the sixth Witch King."

Only after receiving Wu Zhen's promise did they finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Actually, I had a second purpose for coming here, which was to screen candidates for the Hundred Lands Mountain Range Project."

With a slight raise of her eyebrows, Wu Zhen instantly understood the subtext of her words.

The lineage of the Great Xia Witch King has always been divided into orthodox and unorthodox successors.

The former are professionals trained by the Great Xia shamans, while the latter are outstanding self-taught individuals.

It's obvious that there could be no legitimate inheritors of the tradition in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

Therefore, it is easy to understand what Wu Xian meant by sending Yue.

Who have they set their sights on this time?

Wu Zhen knew that what he was being told was definitely not baseless.

After all, according to the confidentiality regulations of the succession ceremony, even among the high-ranking members of the Ten Witches of Spirit Mountain, only Wu Xian knew the names of all the "candidates".

"Li Jingshu, Li Xi, Nü E, and Yinglong ---"

He hesitated noticeably when saying the last name.

Similarly, Wu Zhen was stunned when she heard the last nomination.

"Wait, why is Yinglong on this list!?"

Li Jingshu, Li Xi, and Nü E are all human, so it's not surprising that they were chosen.

Strangely, Yinglong, despite not being human, was also considered a candidate for the tenth Witch King.

This completely breaks all previous rules.

Wu Zhen couldn't even imagine what kind of expressions the shamans and gods of the Great Xia would have if Yinglong were actually chosen.

"The Divine Witch said this is an active embrace of the changes in this era of great strife."

"Since the Celestial Person intend to place all living beings in one furnace and forge them into a unified civilization."

"Then Great Xia must also embrace this change of the times and abandon its previous superficial racial concepts."

After a slight pause, Yue continued reading.

"Moreover, Yinglong's mother is a goddess of the Great Xia Dynasty, his father is a friend of the Celestial Person, and he also has you as his master to guide him—"

Even if he were to stand out from all the candidates, he could never become that kind of traditional deity.

"He is the new human being that the Celestial Person beings have been waiting for, a pathfinder for a new era."

On the giant Immortality Tree in the Yunmeng Jade Pool Realm.

"That Wu Xian is quite open-minded; he truly lives up to his reputation as a wise man who has lived for over a thousand years."

Looking at the Bagua Eight Trigrams Furnace burning fiercely not far away, Li Boyang sighed with emotion.

"So why did you allow those witches to appear?"

"The Hundred Lands Mountain Range are not the Great Xia; what gives them the right to select their so-called 'candidates' here?"

Standing coldly behind Li Boyang, Wangshu clearly disliked Wu Xian and his group's behavior.

"This kind of thing can only benefit the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, so why should I object?"

"Wu Xian has decided to select the tenth Witch King from among the Hundred Lands Mountain Range."

"Essentially, it's about not wanting Great Xia to fall behind the times and ultimately become a maintainer of the old order that is abandoned or even overthrown by the times."

"At least until I die, this trend of great integration is inevitable."

Li Boyang patiently explained to Wangshu, trying to help her understand the order in which this world works.

She is the most capricious and ferocious of the fifteen moon goddesses, known as the "God of Lunar Eclipse."

Wangshu not only possesses formidable combat talent, but also an exceptionally volatile temper.

In fact, this is why Li Boyang always kept the other person by his side.

He is teaching Wangshu to become a qualified moon goddess, bringing blessings to all living beings.

"In this world, acting based on temper and personal likes and dislikes will only bring temporary pleasure."

"The best approach is to control your temper and personal preferences, understand the pros and cons of a situation, and then make a judgment."

Wangshu unconsciously tilted her head, her face still bearing that indifferent expression.

She knew Li Boyang meant well, so she was trying to understand what he meant.

Before doing anything, think about the pros and cons and consequences.

"Once you're sure you can accept the pros and cons and the consequences, you can make a decision."
