I am not your king

"And what about you? What did you do back then?"

Faced with Nü E's question, Chisongzi's mind was once again filled with the image of the villagers sitting silently in the flood, waiting to die. Those lifeless eyes, that numbness devoid of any vitality, Chisongzi knew he would never forget them for the rest of his life.

"I don't see things as clearly as you do..."

"I thought that as long as they had enough to eat, they would have the will to survive."

"So when I returned to the village with the food, the evil god had already arrived on the flood, and the villagers had no will to live." As he said this, Chisongzi's words revealed endless sorrow.

This wasn't the first time something like this had happened during his previous life as a homeless person.

In hindsight, every choice Chisongzi made was wrong, and he was utterly incapable of saving those in crisis.

Even if there are occasional successes, they are mostly just a psychological comfort.

No one can have everything they want; you've done enough.

Wu Luo, a longtime friend, could only offer this words of comfort, patting Chisongzi on the shoulder.

Because Wu Luo's personality is fundamentally different from Chisongzi's.

He doesn't think about those things at all; he just wants to do his best and have a clear conscience.

"So, this is why you came here?"

"You want to see for yourself whether I am qualified to become the next Witch King?"

Without denying the purpose of his visit, Chisongzi abandoned all the previously discussed negotiation tactics and readily nodded in response, "That's right, I came with a skeptical attitude."

"Back when Wu Xian selected Wu Yi, I had already conceded once."

"In the end, although Wu Yi, that scoundrel, did do better than me, the price that Great Xia paid for it was far too high."

"If you have the same personality as him, I will absolutely not let you become the Witch King this time."

Having experienced all walks of life, Chisongzi was no longer the naive boy he once was.

He was well aware that the Great Xia could not withstand any further turmoil.

Compared to a "King Wu" with boundless ambition.

What the Great Xia needs now is a "King Wen" who can stabilize the overall situation.

Ideally, he would be like the sixth Witch King, Ye Ming, born in a peaceful era, who would carry out the ideals of peace to the end and dedicate himself to finding a new Witch King between humans and gods.

"It seems I've passed your test!"

Although it was a question, Nü E spoke it with absolute certainty.

Unfortunately, I have no intention of becoming your "king".

Upon hearing this, Chisongzi was immediately taken aback.

On the contrary, Wu Luo shrugged as if he had expected it, but his eyes had unconsciously become sharp.

"Don't move, this is my territory."

As she slightly raised her eyelids, Nü E's voice suddenly came from behind Wu Luo.

Startled, Wu Luo instinctively turned his head, only to see a phantom hand already pressing on his shoulder.

One-One Divine Ability Primordial Spirit Leaving the Body!

He clearly hasn't reached the realm of Yang God yet.

However, Nü E's Primordial Spirit manifested in broad daylight, unafraid of any erosion by yang energy.

Moreover, Nü E's Primordial Spirit exuded a powerful aura that a normal Primordial Spirit could never possess.

Wu Luo's [Mind-Aspect Barrier] is composed of countless weapons.

Any attack or hostility will stimulate it to generate corresponding weapons to retaliate.

However, in the instant that Wu Luo was suppressed by Nü E's Primordial Spirit, his body underwent countless changes, yet he could not conjure a weapon sufficient to counter or retaliate against this situation. "What kind of Primordial Spirit is this?"

"Why is it so different from the Primordial Spirit I've encountered before?"

Despite being completely at a disadvantage, Wu Luo still had the energy to concern himself with the unique nature of Nü E's Primordial Spirit.

This is partly due to its belligerent nature.

On the other hand, it's also because Wu Luo isn't worried about his own safety at all.

"You might not believe it, but I haven't actually cultivated the true Method of the Celestial Person."

"My talent isn't outstanding, and I have too many things on my mind, making it impossible for me to settle down and cultivate for an extended period..."

"The power I possess now is given to me by this land, and by the Mountain Folk who believe in me."

Nü E's voice sounded calm and composed.

However, both of them present could sense the confidence in her words.

"I never expected that in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, a sacred place for both the Celestial Person and the divine, there would still be a shamanistic temple that follows the traditional path of deities."

This time, it was Chisongzi who spoke, his tone filled with amazement.

"More importantly, you are not Nature God, but a much rarer Ancestor God!"

The difference between Nature God and Ancestor God lies solely in the choice made by the Innate Divine Being after they have become gods.

Those who choose to assimilate with nature and become symbols of calamity are the Nature God.

Those who choose to protect a particular area and receive offerings from their people are the Ancestor God.

In most cases, Nature God are symbols of power, while Ancestor God are often subject to human control and therefore appear relatively weak. However, Nü E is clearly an exception at this moment, and her power is far beyond what ordinary gods can imagine.

"That Celestial Person once said that the Dao is everywhere, and the current Method of the Celestial Person are merely shortcuts summarized by our predecessors."

"Therefore, although you are not Celestial Person in the traditional sense, it does not mean that the path you follow is not the Way of the Celestial Person."

Just then, Wu Luo suddenly spoke again.

"Now I know why you rejected us; it's because you already have your own ' Great Xia '."

As he felt the Primordial Spirit behind him gradually dissipate, Wu Luo also suppressed the surging fighting spirit within him.

"This is your ' Great Xia,' and you are becoming the first Witch King of these Hundred Lands Mountain Range."

Faced with Wu Luo's high praise, Nü E was clearly taken aback for a moment before chuckling softly.

Are you trying to sow discord between me and the prophet?

"I'm never as great as you imagine; I'm just doing what I can."

After speaking, Nü E turned her gaze once again to Chisongzi, who seemed to be deep in thought.

"I can't be your 'king,' because Gao Village Town needs me, Hundred Lands Mountain Range need me."

"But I understand your situation, and I don't want a war to really break out between the Hundred Lands Mountain Range and the Great Xia."

"If you're simply looking for a ' Witch King,' there are actually other candidates in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range."

Upon hearing what Nü E said, Chisongzi instinctively spoke up to Orthodox Dao.

"He's a candidate, not the Witch King..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chisongzi realized what Nü E was talking about and quickly changed his words to ask.

"Who is it? Could it be Li Jingshu?"

"She won't do. Her relationship with the Dao Ancestor is too close; she's not suitable to be the Witch King of Great Xia."
