Zhunti and Jieyin exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing not only a hint of surprise but also deep concern—a profound worry about the future.
Just now, the four saints joined forces, and the power of that crimson phantom was comparable to their current cultivation levels. Yet, even so, they were no match for Su Daji.
Among the various branches of the Jie Sect, Su Daji was not considered particularly strong. There were many beings stronger than her. Given this situation, it seems unlikely that the so-called new Investiture of the Gods would be completed.
“Senior brother, Su Daji’s power is already above yours and mine. If… Di Jun makes a move, I’m afraid… even if we join forces, we won’t be able to do anything to him!” Zhunti said.
Upon hearing this,
Jieyin nodded slowly, "Judging from Su Daji's combat strength, if it is really Dijun who makes a move, our joint efforts will be useless, and we may even be killed. But if it is Yun Hong who makes a move, our deaths are probably inevitable!"
He paused for a moment.
Jieyin continued, "If... Houtu were to make a move, even if the four of us were tied together, we would still be no match for her, and... we might not even be able to withstand a single blow!"
When the sound faded...
Zhunti fell silent. They saw no hope whatsoever in this so-called grand undertaking of the Investiture of the Gods; it seemed... it would ultimately end in failure, and they would perish.
At this moment,
Zhunti and Jieyin were naturally even more remorseful. They should have done the same as Nuwa. A single wrong thought could have led to hell. They should have died then and there. No, Nuwa might not have perished. She might still be alive at this moment.
Thinking about it this way, Zhunti and Jieyin felt even more uncomfortable.
...
Kunlun Mountain Jade Void Palace
The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning's expression was also extremely unpleasant. Su Daji's strength far exceeded their expectations, and the cultivation level of the sect's experts gave them a new understanding once again.
At this moment,
The thoughts of Yuanshi Tianzun were naturally the same as those of Zhunti and Jieyin, and they were filled with regret!
...
The Great Luo Heavenly Mysterious Capital Cave
Lao Tzu's expression was also very grim, and he muttered, "In this way... how can the situation be resolved!?"
At this time,
Laozi's state of mind was the same as the other three sages. In the current situation, the new Investiture of the Gods seemed like a joke, and it was impossible for it to be completed!
...
In the Purple Cloud Palace,
The Blood Prince looked at Hongjun Daozu and said, "Daozu, the power of the Four Sages is still too weak and needs to be strengthened. Otherwise, how can the Investiture of the Gods be completed?"
After saying that,
Hongjun Daozu frowned slightly. If the four saints were to merge again, they would completely fall into the demonic path. Even if they died, they would not be able to be reborn in the Heavenly Dao. This was far from what Hongjun Daozu had thought!
"Dao Ancestor, if their power is not strengthened, how can a new Investiture of the Gods be carried out?! Dao Ancestor, you must make a decision as soon as possible, and you must not delay, otherwise the opportunity will be lost in the blink of an eye!" The Blood Prince's voice rang out.
With things having come to this point, Hongjun Daozu pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Regardless of how this battle unfolds, the Four Saints must not be allowed to live, and we can simply cultivate new people to fill those positions!
immediately,
The prince smiled and said, "Good!"
After a slight pause, the Blood Prince's voice rang out again, "There is one more matter. The barrier between the two realms needs to be widened so that more of our clan's strong members can enter and we can have a sufficient chance of success."

Upon hearing this,
Without much thought or hesitation, Dao Ancestor Hongjun said directly, "That's enough for now. We'll see what happens later!"
As he said this, Hongjun Daozu cursed inwardly. How could he not understand what these heavenly demons were thinking? They were slowly eroding his power, taking advantage of him bit by bit.
This Blood Prince is one of the four princes of the Heavenly Demon Clan, and he is the number one person below the Heavenly Demon Emperor. Now that the barrier has been widened enough, if it is widened any further, how can he sit still? He probably won't be able to sit on the position of Dao Ancestor.
Seeing that Hongjun Daozu's attitude was firm, the Blood Prince did not insist any further and casually responded. He had not really expected Hongjun to continue to expand the barrier; it was just a casual test. Now, whether the barrier was expanded or not was no longer important. It was just a matter of whether it would take a little longer or a little longer. They didn't care about a little bit of time.
This vast and beautiful world will soon belong to their Heavenly Demon Clan!
...
at the same time,
Outside Sishui Pass,
The Western Zhou army retreated, suffering heavy losses once again. Of its 600,000 troops, only less than 200,000 of the 300,000 elite soldiers remained. The rest of the army was almost completely wiped out, leaving only 20,000 to 30,000 men.
now,
The Western Zhou army was reduced to just over 200,000 men, severely weakened and on the verge of complete collapse.
Thus, in the royal tent, Ji Fa was naturally furious. He stared intently at Jiang Ziya and shouted, "Prime Minister, give me an explanation!? Since the army's defeat, the foundation of my Great Zhou has been severely damaged. How can we possibly win the world again? Even if we do win the world, can we still hold onto this land?"
"Prime Minister, what about your promise to me? What about the army of immortals you prepared?!"
Upon hearing this,
Jiang Ziya replied calmly, “Your Majesty, the Undying Army is an anomaly. To ordinary soldiers, they are naturally unparalleled weapons of war, but to cultivators, they are nothing and can be easily annihilated. At that time, some cultivators in Yin Shang had already left the battle and could rush to the aid at any time.”
"Forging this immortal army is no easy task. Its effectiveness can only be maximized at the right time. Must we let them perish in vain? I believe Your Majesty would not wish for that."
