Chapter 525 The Tenth Witch King

"Was it the intervention of the celestial beings? Or the Lord of the Underworld?"

Aside from Li Boyang and the Lord of the Underworld, two great gods of this era, Wu Zhen couldn't think of anyone else who could accomplish such a thing.

"No, it's not them..."

Xiao Yue shook his head decisively, denying Wu Zhen's guess, and sighed again.

"According to the shaman's speculation, that should be a prophet from another timeline."

“What He wants to steal is the ability to ‘refine the false into the true,’ which should be related to His path of enlightenment.”

Upon hearing Xiao Yue's words, Wu Zhen was taken aback at first, and then said with some helplessness.

"I almost forgot that since the Celestials created the River of Time, there are no longer just the two Great Celestials of this world who are hidden behind this world."

The Great Struggle initiated by Li Boyang did, objectively speaking, propel the entire world onto a spiraling upward trajectory.

However, not everyone thinks this is a good thing.

From the perspective of the gods of the Great Xia Dynasty and the ten shamans of Mount Ling, who are the beneficiaries, the instability brought about by the river of time actually outweighs the actual benefits it can bring.

“I agree. When that candidate appears, I will help him gain the wisdom and power of the sixth Witch King.”

Xiao Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Wu Zhen's promise.

"Actually, I have a second purpose for coming here this time, which is to screen the 'candidates' for the Hundred Mountains."

With a slight raise of her eyebrows, Wu Zhen instantly understood the subtext of Xiao Yue's words.

The lineage of the Great Xia Witch King has always been divided into orthodox and unorthodox successors.

The former are professionals trained by the Great Xia shamans, while the latter are outstanding self-taught individuals.

It's obvious that there could be no legitimate inheritors in the Hundred Mountains region.

Therefore, it is easy to understand what Wu Xian meant by sending Xiao Yue.

Who have they set their sights on this time?

Wu Zhen knew that what Xiao Yue had said to her was definitely not unfounded.

After all, according to the confidentiality regulations of the succession ceremony, even among the high-ranking members like the Ten Witches of Lingshan, only Wu Xian knew the names of all the "candidates".

“Li Jingshu, Li Xi, Nu'e, and Yinglong…”

When saying the last name, Xiao Yue hesitated noticeably.

Similarly, Wuzhen was stunned when she heard the last nomination.

"Wait, why is Yinglong on this list!?"

Li Jingshu, Li Xi, and Nü'e are all human, so it's not surprising that they were chosen.

Strangely, Yinglong, despite not being human, was also considered a candidate for the tenth Witch King.

This completely breaks all previous rules.

Wu Zhen couldn't even imagine what kind of expressions the shamans and gods of the Great Xia would have if Yinglong were actually chosen.

“The shaman said that this is to actively embrace the changes of this world of great strife.”

"Since the Celestials intend to put all living beings in one furnace and forge them into a unified civilization."

"Then Great Xia must also embrace this change of the times and abandon its previous superficial racial concepts."

After a slight pause, Xiao Yue continued.

"Moreover, Yinglong's mother is the goddess of the Great Xia Dynasty, his father is a friend of the celestial beings, and he also has you as his master to guide him..."

"Even if he does stand out from the crowd of candidates, he could not become that kind of traditional god."

"He is the 'new human being' that the heavens and the earth have been waiting for, and a pathfinder for the new era."

On the giant immortal tree in the Yunmeng Yaochi Realm. "That Wu Xian is quite open-minded. He truly deserves to be called a wise man who has lived for over a thousand years."

Looking at the Bagua Furnace burning brightly not far away, Li Boyang sighed with emotion.

"So why do you allow those shamans to run rampant?"

“The Hundred Mountains are not the Great Xia. What gives them the right to choose their so-called ‘candidates’ here?”

Standing coldly behind Li Boyang, Wang Shu clearly disliked Wu Xian and his group's behavior.

"This kind of thing can only benefit the Hundred Mountains, so why should I object?"

"Wu Xian has decided to select the tenth Witch King from the Hundred Mountains..."

"Essentially, it's about not wanting the Great Xia to fall behind the times and ultimately become a maintainer of the old order that is abandoned or even overthrown by the times."

"At least until I die, this trend of great integration is inevitable."

Li Boyang patiently explained to Wang Shu, trying to help her understand the order in which this world works.

She is the most eccentric and cruel of the fifteen moon goddesses, known as the "God of Lunar Eclipse".

Wang Shu not only possesses formidable combat talent, but also an exceptionally volatile temper.

In fact, this is why Li Boyang always kept the other person by his side.

He is teaching Wangshu to become a qualified moon goddess, bringing blessings to all living beings.

"In this world, acting based on temper and personal likes and dislikes will only bring temporary pleasure."

"The most correct approach is to control your temper and preferences, see the pros and cons of a matter, and then make a judgment."

Wang Shu unconsciously tilted her head, her face still bearing that indifferent expression.

She knew Li Boyang meant well, so she was trying to understand what he meant.

Before doing anything, you should first think about the pros and cons and the consequences...

"Once you're sure you can accept the pros and cons and the consequences, you can make a decision."

"In this way, even if the worst happens, you won't regret your choice."

"On the contrary, when everything is under control, even if an unexpected situation does occur, you will have the opportunity and ability to make up for it and correct it."

Upon hearing this, Wang Shu, after a brief moment of thought, suddenly asked.

"Too much trouble. I definitely prefer to be straightforward."

Li Boyang shook his head with a smile and retorted.

"You don't like to be straightforward, you're just plain stupid."

"Because you can't see through the essence of things, and you don't think about or weigh the pros and cons, all you can rely on is your own strength."

"But intelligent beings are called intelligent beings because they have wisdom in addition to strength."

"This world will never lack beings stronger than you..."

"If you act recklessly and follow your own temper without considering the consequences, you'll run into trouble sooner or later."

Upon hearing Li Boyang's evaluation of her, Wang Shu immediately pouted angrily, and even her cold expression began to falter.

"Plan before you act, and think thrice before you go; these are essential qualities for all those who achieve great things."

“If you were just an ordinary person, I naturally wouldn’t have such high expectations of you.”

“But you are not an ordinary person. You are the Moon God, the God of Lunar Eclipse. Your every move will have an unimaginable impact on all living beings.”

As the saying goes, "Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown."

"On the other hand, only by bearing the weight can one wear the crown."
