"Oh, Houtu? You've emerged from seclusion?"

Gonggong, who had just entered from outside the Witch Clan Temple, greeted Houtu in a very casual manner.

However, Houtu was in a hurry and didn't even have time to talk to Gonggong before leaving the Witch Clan Temple.

"Why is Sister Houtu acting like this? Has something serious happened?"

Gonggong was startled.

Houtu is Sage.

Moreover, unlike those who are ignorant of destiny, Houtu is able to deduce and divine cause and effect.

Given her Sage status and her relationship with Lin Yunji,

They all seem so anxious; something terrible must have happened.

Thinking of this,

Gonggong quickly summoned all the remaining ancestral witches of the Witch Clan and told them what had happened.

"Sister Houtu is in such a hurry,"

"And judging from the looks of it, she's most likely heading to the Empress Wa Palace to find Divine Venerable Lin Yunji!"

"Judging from this, this matter must be of utmost importance!"

Among the Twelve Ancestral Witches, the eldest Dijiang, spoke first.

"Yes!"

"Houtu even Sage can't solve something like this now, then it'll be a real problem."

Jumang echoed the same sentiment.

"I just don't know if this matter is related to my Witch Clan."

Xuanming spoke softly, her expression filled with worry.

After Houtu became a saint, she gained a deeper understanding of the fate of the Witch Clan.

Although the Witch Clan originated from the flesh and blood of the great god Pangu, they possessed a share of the merit of creating the world.

However, as the Primordial World developed, the Witch Clan would eventually be eliminated.

Resign from the role of one of the main characters in this world.

After Houtu learned of this, although she did not fully inform the Witch Clan,

But from her few words, the remaining ancestral witches naturally guessed some of what had happened.

The Witch Clan will inevitably face a great calamity in the future.

"Could it truly be that a great calamity is about to befall my Witch Clan?!"

Kuabishi Corpse was emaciated, resembling a corpse, and his voice was hoarse and weathered.

The remaining Ancestral Witches remained silent in response to his question.

No one answered for a long time.

After a moment of silence from all the ancestral witches,

Dijiang, the leader of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, spoke once again.

As the old saying goes, what is meant to be will be, and what is meant to be will be.

"If it truly is a great calamity befalling our Witch Clan, then we shall face it!"

"Yes! At worst, we'll just have to face the calamity."

The remaining ancestral witches all nodded.

"Houtu sister, often says,"

"The Great Evolution is fifty, the Heavenly Dao is forty-nine, and one is hidden away."

"What has vanished is a glimmer of hope."

"Even if calamity strikes, as long as our Witch Clan unites as one, we have no fear of losing a glimmer of hope."

The Ancestral Witch Xuanming spoke again.

That's exactly right!

All the ancestral witches nodded in agreement.

Houtu was naturally unaware of what was happening with the Witch Clan.

Although she was Sage, with a single thought, she could know all causes and conditions.

But now her mind is entirely focused on the matter of the Netherworld World.

There was simply no extra energy left to care about anything else.

Therefore, she was unaware of what was happening at the Witch Clan Temple.

She went straight to the Empress Wa Palace.

In the bamboo forest of the Empress Wa Palace, the bamboo is lush and verdant.

Meanwhile, the sounds of zithers and lutes, along with laughter and playful banter, continued unabated.

Yunxiao, while Bixiao played the flute.

In the clearing of the bamboo forest, Changxi and Xihe danced gracefully.

As for Lin Yunji, he and Qiongxiao clapped in agreement, but Nüwa was not present.

"Sister Houtu has arrived."

Qiongxiao noticed Houtu's arrival immediately.

Everyone's here.

Houtu walked quickly over, responding as she did so.

"Hey, where's Nüwa Nuwa?"

Nüwa is still in seclusion.

"She has gained some insights into the Hunyuan Great Dao and is currently practicing diligently."

"I reckon it'll be a long time before I can leave the country again."

Lin Yunji said with a hint of helplessness.

He was the one who taught Nüwa the Hunyuan Great Dao.

But Nüwa's immersion in the Daoist principles left him somewhat helpless.

However, after quickly composing himself, Lin Yunji smiled and said to Houtu:

"I already know about the Netherworld World."

"Uh-huh."

Houtu stepped forward and sat down at the stone table where Lin Yunji was sitting.

Houtu was not at all surprised that Lin Yunji knew about the problems of the Netherworld World.

Lin Yunji is Divine Venerable; with his cultivation and Daoxing,

In the entire Primordial World, nothing, no matter how small, could escape his eyes.

It would be strange if he didn't know.

"The Netherworld World is overrun with ghosts."

"This is actually something you achieved when you created the Netherworld World,"

"I guessed it when the Six Paths of Reincarnation were established."

Lin Yunji said with a smile,

"However, I didn't expect this day to come so soon."

"It seems I underestimated the number of living beings in the Primordial World."

Is there any solution?

Houtu quickly asked Lin Yunji.

She was very worried that the order of the Six Paths of Reincarnation would collapse.

In that case, all living beings in the Primordial World would once again be plunged into a tragic state of having nowhere to go.

"Of course."

Lin Yunji nodded.

"Actually, this issue isn't even a problem in itself,"

"At most, it can only be said that the Six Paths of Reincarnation and the Netherworld World you established are still incomplete."

"Imperfect?"

Houtu was stunned for a moment, clearly finding Lin Yunji's words somewhat difficult to understand.

"Right."

Lin Yunji nodded and continued,

"The Netherworld World was originally a realm on par with the Heavenly Realm and the Human Realm within the Three Realms."

"There should have been many underworld deities involved in the management of the Netherworld World."

"But now, in the entire Netherworld World, apart from your Dharma body Lady Pingxin,"

There is no other Yin deity with this function.

"Even though Lady Pingxin possesses the abilities of Sage, she is all alone."

"How could anyone possibly control the reincarnations of all living beings in the Primordial World?"

So what you mean is...?

Houtu's heart stirred slightly.

"Naturally, it increases the number of gods in the Netherworld World."

"Let more spirits of the underworld help deal with the affairs of the Netherworld World."

"In this way, the problem of the Netherworld World will naturally be solved."

Lin Yunji said.

"I see."

Houtu looked on with a look of sudden realization and delight.

But the next second, she hesitated again.

"But how can one manage such a vast Netherworld World?"

"I'm afraid the number of underworld deities required will be quite substantial."

"Where can we find so many underworld deities?"

"Should we choose from among the ghosts of the dead?"

"Actually, there is a group of people who would be perfectly suited to be the gods of the underworld, helping to manage the Netherworld World."

Lin Yunji said, as if keeping everyone in suspense.

Who is it?

Houtu said subconsciously.

"You Witch Clan."

Lin Yunji spoke.

The Unseen his words fell, even the Primordial Wilderness Heavenly Dao itself trembled slightly.

Some of the original cause and effect, and the course of fate, seem to have been greatly altered as a result.

"The Witch Clan?!"

Houtu was stunned on the spot, and then she fell into deep thought.

The Witch Clan will eventually have to step down from their leading role in the Primordial Wilderness Continent.

She was naturally aware of this.
