"Disciple understands!"

"From now on, this disciple will regard Senior Brother Zicheng/Senior Uncle as the leader of the sect and will never dare to show any disrespect!"

The million disciples of the Jie Sect, who were deeply aware that Yin Zicheng was not to be trifled with, first shouted in unison in response to the Tongtian Sect Leader.

immediately.

They faced Yin Zicheng's direction and bowed in respect:

"Disciple Zhao Gongming/Luo Xuan/Lü Yue... pays respects to Senior Brother/Senior Uncle and Vice Master!"

The cries of a million immortals gathered together, their voices shaking the heavens and the netherworld—it was truly earth-shattering!

Heavenly Court.

Haotian was somewhat surprised and suspicious when he saw that Tongtian Jiaozhu had so ruthlessly crippled the cultivation of tens of thousands of Jiejiao disciples and expelled them from the Jiejiao sect for Yin Zicheng's sake.

"Tongtian dotes on this human disciple to such an extent?"

"Not only was he promoted to the position of senior disciple and vice leader of the Jie Sect, but so many Jie Sect disciples were crippled because of a disagreement?"

"It's really strange. Isn't this just a human with a worthless background and a little bit of cleverness? Why is he worth Tongtian's attention so much?"

"Could it be that Tongtian's move is intended to show his support for the Shang Dynasty?"

"Heaven has ordained the Shang Dynasty to perish, yet he insists on supporting it for the sake of his so-called doctrine of seizing a sliver of hope?"

"Haha, this suits me just fine! The deeper the bond between the Jie Sect and the Great Shang Dynasty, the more miserable they will be in the Investiture of the Gods, and the more Jie Sect elites will be at my disposal!"

......

The underworld.

Having endured the erosion of the Six Paths of Reincarnation for countless eons, Houtu, whose emotions had grown increasingly distant, was awakened by the commotion on Jin'ao Island.

"A million immortals from the Jie Sect have gathered—what a grand spectacle! Since that great battle years ago, this is the first time the primordial world has witnessed such a commotion..."

Seeing the grand scale of the Jie Sect, Houtu Niangniang couldn't help but think of the once incomparably glorious Wu Clan.

As one of the twelve Ancestral Witches, she constantly blamed herself, believing that she had been too reckless in transforming into a reincarnation at the crucial moment of the Witch-Demon War, which resulted in the Witch Clan being without an Ancestral Witch and unable to set up the complete version of the Dutian Divine Fiend Array, thus leading to that predicament.

Over the years, whenever she recalls this, she can't help but feel guilty and heartbroken.

However, because after the mythical cycle of reincarnation, the primordial spirit is entrusted to the six realms of reincarnation and is washed away by the power of reincarnation every day, Houtu Niangniang's emotions are gradually eroded, and she becomes more and more ruthless.

This time, when recalling the era of the Witch Clan, Houtu Niangniang's emotional fluctuations were noticeably less intense than before.

......

"My feelings are fading, and one day, I will completely lose myself..."

Houtu Niangniang sensed her own condition and sighed softly.

immediately.

She turned her thoughts to the matter of the Jie Sect:

"The great calamity of the primordial world has begun again. At this juncture, Tongtian's actions must be part of a grand scheme!"

"Judging from the importance Tongtian attaches to this disciple of the Jie Sect named Yin Zicheng, he must occupy a very important position in Tongtian's plan!"

"What's so special about this Yin Zicheng?"

Houtu Niangniang looked at Yin Zicheng.

Seeing Yin Zicheng's seemingly perfect face, meticulously sculpted by the Great Dao, and his vast, boundless merits, one is already somewhat astonished.

What surprised her even more was that she couldn't see through Yin Zicheng at all!

"I used the power of the underground passage to deduce things, and even the methods of a sage could not deceive me, yet I still cannot see through this Yin Zicheng?"

"This Yin Zicheng has a big secret!"

Even though Houtu Niangniang had been washed away by the endless cycle of reincarnation over the six realms, and her emotional threshold had become extremely high, she was still taken aback by this situation.

......

"Such a special person, whom even I cannot see through, could absolutely not be the trash those Jie Sect disciples call him!"

"He must be very strong, which is why Tongtian values ​​him so much and elevates his status to the same level as his own!"

"He is not only not a disgrace to the Jie Sect, but can be said to be its glory. The Tongtian Sect Leader has placed great hopes on him!"

"But what secrets does he possess that allow a human who was born after birth to become so powerful in just six hundred years that Tongtian takes him so seriously?"

"At the moment of the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, why are Tongtian and he so high-profile? What are they trying to do?"

Houtu Niangniang, who could see that Yin Zicheng was extraordinary, was attracted to him and kept an eye on the situation on Jin'ao Island while pondering.

However, not everyone is Houtu Niangniang (the Goddess of the Earth).

Influenced by the disciples of the Jie Sect who mocked Yin Zicheng, the other immortals and gods of the prehistoric world basically all thought that Yin Zicheng was a good-for-nothing.

As for their complete inability to see through Yin Zicheng's situation, they attributed it to the saintly methods of the Tongtian Sect Master.

Yuanshi Tianzun is one such representative.

He saw Yin Zicheng and the Tongtian Sect Leader standing side by side in a manner that was not in accordance with etiquette, and he already marked Yin Zicheng with disdain.

Seeing how Tongtian Jiaozhu ruthlessly expelled tens of thousands of Jiejiao disciples for Yin Zicheng's sake, Yuanshi Tianzun regarded Yin Zicheng as a great scourge and muttered that he must send Yin Zicheng to the Investiture of the Gods!

......

Jin'ao Island.

Standing in mid-air beside the Tongtian Sect Leader, Yin Zicheng had no idea how the powerful beings of the prehistoric world viewed him.

Of course, he didn't care what the powerful beings of the primordial world thought of him.

In Yin Zicheng's view, the opinions of those unimportant outsiders are not important at all, and there is no need to waste time paying attention to them.

Anyway, he's already invincible, so let others do whatever they want, as long as they don't mess with him.
