Zuan never expected that the seemingly powerful extraterrestrial demons were actually just pets or beasts kept by the Heavenly Court's demon race. On the contrary, the demon race that was bullied so badly by the extraterrestrial demons was actually the purest bloodline of the Heavenly Court's demon race.
Looking back now, those extraterrestrial demons were indeed closer to animals and beasts, while the demon race was clearly much more normal.
If the Great Elder of the True Demons knew that the descendants of the servants he spoke of were actually the bloodline of their masters, and that he himself was the servant, one wonders what a sight his expression would be.
Thinking of this, a thought struck him, and he couldn't help but ask, "Where have those Heavenly Court demons gone? How could they just stand by and watch their pet beasts slaughter their bloodline descendants at will?"
The phantom of Houtu replied, "After the great war between the Wu and the Yao, the Wu clan was defeated, and the Yao clan of the Heavenly Court also declined. As for their specific whereabouts, I am not quite sure now that I have arrived in this Netherworld."
Zuan thought of the information he had obtained from the Asura clan and then asked, "The Asura clan said that they also fought against the Celestial Gods and were defeated and banished here. Are the Celestial Gods they mentioned the same as the Heavenly Court Demon Clan?"
"They arrived earlier than our Wu tribe. Based on the intelligence we gathered from the previous battles between the two tribes, although they both live in the sky, they don't seem to be the same people," Houtu's voice rang out.
Zu An's heart stirred. It seemed that before the demon race of the Heavenly Court, there was also a Heavenly God race.
Although he only chatted with Houtu for a short while, he felt he gained a lot, and many of his previous doubts were answered.
He wanted to ask more questions, but then he heard the phantom of Houtu say, "Knowing too much about many things now will only bring you trouble."
Zuan felt a chill run down his spine; this wasn't the first person to say something like that to him.
In the myriad realms of the universe, secrets often represent danger.
At this moment, Houtu's illusory voice rang out again: "I can sense that my time is running out. Before I completely dissipate, I must resolve the matter of these descendants of the witch clan."
Zu An's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "Since they can be imprisoned here, they can naturally find a way to leave. As for the specific method, we may need Your Majesty's guidance."
He knew that someone like Tu, with her extensive knowledge, would likely have a solution.
The phantom of Houtu pondered for a long time before suddenly speaking: "Do you still want to save your Asura friends?"
Upon hearing that there was hope, Zuan's eyes lit up with excitement: "Of course, if we can save both races from suffering at the same time, it is naturally better than letting them keep fighting in this place."
The phantom of Houtu hummed in agreement: "Speaking of which, it was your description of the future that gave me the inspiration."
Zu An was taken aback, thinking that the things in later generations should have been like that because of what happened here. Why did it feel like the cause and effect were reversed?
Houtu's illusory figure then slowly said, "Although I have transformed into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, I still feel that the Six Paths of Reincarnation is not perfect and is missing something. I have never been able to figure it out over the years, until I met you, and then I realized what was missing."
Zu An's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he was going to make me fill the void in the cycle of reincarnation?
Seeing his nervous expression, Houtu's illusory voice carried a hint of amusement: "Don't be nervous, I just want you to help me find a few things."
Zu An breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to the other party: "Your Majesty, please give your orders. I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
The phantom of Houtu said in a deep voice: "The reason why the Six Paths of Reincarnation is not perfect now is mainly because it lacks sufficient connection with the Six Paths themselves. I need you to help me find the tokens that represent the authority of the Heavenly God Path, Human Path, Asura Path, Hell Path, Animal Path, and Hungry Ghost Path. Only by refining them into one can I completely merge with the Six Paths."
Zuan was startled; this mission was no simple matter.
Not to mention that the authority of a world is often the most hidden thing in that world, one doesn't even know where things like the Heavenly Dao are.
At this moment, the phantom of Houtu continued, "You don't need to deliberately seek out the authority of the Hell Path. You already possess it, which is the 'Great Canon of Life and Death in the Netherworld.' This book controls the fate of all the dead in the Hell Path."
Zuan hesitated. The "Great Canon of Life and Death in the Netherworld" was extremely important to him. Not to mention its power, it was one of the twelve secret manuals required for the keyboard system, and he dared not destroy it casually.
Seemingly sensing his worry, Houtu's illusory voice rang out: "Don't worry, it won't damage the book. I'm just borrowing a trace of its power. Not only will it not be damaged in the slightest, but I'll also receive more benefits from the Six Paths of Reincarnation."
Zaun thought to himself, "This doesn't seem to conform to the law of conservation of energy."
Of course, many things in this world of cultivation cannot be understood using scientific logic.
"Then what about the powers of the other realms?" Zu'an continued to ask, as he knew nothing about these things and had no idea where to begin.
"You can ask your Asura friends about the authority of the Asura realm," Houtu's illusory figure replied.
Zu An subconsciously glanced at Princess Nihuang and her brother, and nodded secretly.
"Humanity exists in the outside world. Go find the Human Emperor; it shouldn't be a problem."
"The realm of hungry ghosts exists between the human world and the netherworld. They do not enter the cycle of reincarnation and wander around the human world all day, confusing and harming all kinds of living beings."
Zu An's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. How come this Hungry Ghost Realm is somewhat similar to the place where Hei Jing Teng was when he was the Ghost King?
"As for the animal realm, the story you just mentioned about later generations, that world of extraterrestrial demons, is very likely the animal realm."
Zuan: "..."
I never imagined that after going through all that trouble, the demon world would turn out to be the animal realm.
However, the demon world is currently at its peak, so it would have been impossible to obtain power in their world.
But now that the Lord of Slaughter has led his demon army to invade the cultivation world, it has given him an opportunity.
"As for the Heavenly God Path," Houtu's illusory figure was silent for a while, "you shouldn't be able to go there now, but since the demons in the outside world are descendants of the Heavenly Court's demons, you should be able to get clues about the Heavenly God Path if you go to the demons."
Zuan frowned slightly. In his later life, as the regent of the demon race, he was so familiar with the demon race that he even knew the extent of their little demon queen's abilities, but where would he get any information about the Heavenly God Path?
Wait a minute, he suddenly remembered the secret realm he had seen in the Demon Clan's royal tomb. The various beings inside were incredibly powerful. Could that be the Heavenly God Path?
Zuan pondered the six tokens of authority and found himself in a dilemma. No matter which one it was, it would probably not be something he could obtain in a short time. He had other matters to attend to here.
It's true that he's friends with Princess Nihuang and her brother, but he probably doesn't have that much time to waste here.
Just then, the phantom of Houtu suddenly said, "Haven't you been looking for the beacon of laws in this world? But I've never heard of any seven-colored beacon of laws. After thinking about it, there's only one possibility: that beacon of laws doesn't exist yet. It's probably something I'm about to refine by fusing the Six Paths Tokens."
Zuan: "!!!"
