instantly,
The Primordial Celestial Venerable arrived at the place of reincarnation and asked, "The Primordial One has come to pay a visit. Is Houtu present?"
Yuanshi Tianzun held no arrogance towards Houtu. While the Emperor of Fengdu was the nominal master of the Underworld, Houtu was the actual ruler.
On that day, Houtu transformed herself into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and her primordial spirit was born from the body of the Ancestral Witch. Without leaving the Underworld, Houtu became a saint, so he naturally dared not be arrogant.
As the voice of the Primordial Celestial Lord faded, Houtu did not appear, but her serene voice rang out, "What is it?"
Yuanshi Tianzun did not care about Houtu's aloof attitude. Within the underworld, Houtu had the power and the right to act this way.
"The lifespan of Ji Chang, the Marquis of Xibo, was not yet over when he died due to some accident. I have come here to take Ji Chang's soul back, as he still has an unfinished mission!" The voice of Yuanshi Tianzun rang out.
"Mission?!" Houtu's indifferent voice rang out, "What does this have to do with my Underworld? The Underworld has its own rules. Souls that have died should naturally enter the cycle of reincarnation!"
Upon hearing this,
Yuanshi Tianzun frowned slightly. "The Marquis of Xibo, Ji Chang, still has an important mission. I humbly request that Lady Houtu show mercy this time. I will remember this favor and will not refuse any request from Lady Houtu in the future!"
At this moment, Yuanshi Tianzun adopted a very humble posture. In the underworld, Houtu is a saint. Even if he were to come in his true form, he would be powerless against Houtu, let alone if he were merely a dharma body.
If we want to bring Ji Chang's soul back, we need to be humble; otherwise, we'll ruin our grand plan!
"snort!"
"The Lich War is still fresh in our minds, all thanks to your design!" Houtu's cold voice rang out.
The Primordial Celestial Lord's expression hardened slightly; the war between the Lich King and the Demon King was indeed instigated by them.
At that time, the demon race ruled the heavens and the witch race ruled the earth. Although there were frictions between the two races, according to the normal timeline, a great war might not have broken out, or it might have taken much longer.
In this way, the teachings of the sages were difficult to spread. Even the sages could not directly attack the witch and demon races, who were then the main forces of heaven and earth.
That's why a series of schemes were devised. At that time, Daoist Zhunti went to Tanggu to lure Dijun's ten sons, also known as the Ten Golden Crows, so that they would leave Tanggu together, which led to the ten suns soaring into the sky.
The ten suns in the sky resulted in the primordial land being scorched like fire. The dominant tribe on this land was the Wu tribe, and countless Wu people perished. This led to the legendary archer Yi shooting down the suns, killing nine of the golden crows.
This prompted Di Jun to take action, killing Da Yi, and the great war between the Lich King and the Demon King broke out completely.
During this time, the sage's calculations did not cease; each step was intricately linked, to the point that...
Apart from Houtu, all eleven Ancestral Witches perished, and the demon race also suffered countless casualties.
Thus, the witch and demon races completely withdrew from the stage of history, no longer the protagonists of heaven and earth. The human race flourished, and the sages were able to spread their teachings and control the primordial world.
"That's all in the past. It wasn't our scheme. The evil aura of the Wu and Yao races was too heavy, which displeased the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao had the intention to let the human race prosper!" Yuanshi Tianzun replied.
After saying that,
Houtu sneered, "Alright then, if you want to take Ji Chang's soul away, then kneel down before me!"
"Kneel down and beg me, then I'll ask you a very simple question. If you answer correctly, I'll let you take Ji Chang's soul away. If you answer incorrectly, you won't be able to take Ji Chang's soul away!"
As the sound faded,
Yuanshi Tianzun frowned. Putting aside kneeling before Houtu, just considering that question, if he deliberately asked questions that Houtu couldn't answer, wouldn't he be being played by Houtu?
"You may ask first!" said the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.
Houtu said indifferently, "Kneel down first!"
"If you ask me questions I cannot answer, wouldn't that be letting you play with me?!" Yuanshi Tianzun said coldly.
Even if he could answer the question, Yuanshi Tianzun would not kneel. If he really knelt down, would he still have any dignity as a saint?
"Think about it again. If you don't kneel, go back to where you came from!" Houtu said coldly.

Upon hearing this,
The expression of the Primordial Celestial Venerable changed slightly. "Houtu, even if you are a saint in the Underworld, do not go too far. Your primordial spirit will never leave the Underworld for all eternity?"
"What? Are you threatening me?!" Houtu said mockingly.
The Celestial Lord of Primordial Beginning's expression changed slightly; to take action would clearly not be a wise move.
Houtu is a saint in the underworld; if they were to fight, he wouldn't gain any advantage.
However... the Primordial Celestial Venerable could not accept allowing Ji Chang to enter the cycle of reincarnation.
In a short time,
The atmosphere became heavy.
The Emperor of Fengdu looked solemn and slightly nervous. If the Primordial Celestial Venerable really made a move, the battle between the sages would undoubtedly be a devastating blow to the Underworld.
However, he also knew that since the Goddess Houtu had made up her mind, he could not persuade her otherwise.
well!
Just wait!
at this time,
Western religion,
Zhunti said, "Senior brother, should we take action? I started the scheme that day. If I fall into Houtu's hands in the future, I'm afraid I'll end up like Yuanshi today. It would be better to use this opportunity to suppress him and save ourselves trouble later!"
"No rush... let's wait and see!" Jieyin replied.
Both Nuwa and Laozi were considering whether or not to intervene.
After all, they were all involved in the scheme that day, and Houtu clearly remembered it all!
Who knows, one day Houtu might bring up old grievances and restrain them, and that would be troublesome!
They were all thinking of making a move, but they all decided to wait and see and not rush into it.
