I will teach you how to cultivate immortality

Chapter 564 With lofty aspirations and sacrifices, they dared to change the world.

Long before Chishongzi and Wuluo arrived at the Hundred Mountains.

Wu Xian had actually sent Xiao Yue here specifically to invite Li Jingshu to participate in this grand "Witch King Succession Ceremony".

However, Li Jingshu rejected Xiao Yue's invitation almost without hesitation.

In a sense, Li Jingshu was the first candidate for the Hundred Mountains, and Yinglong came later.

In fact, Chisongzi originally thought that inviting Yinglong was a sure thing.

He discovered that he seemed to have underestimated Yinglong's status and importance in the Hundred Mountains.

First, Wu Zhen unequivocally opposed it and mocked that the Great Xia Dynasty was truly devoid of talent, even listing Yinglong as a candidate for the Witch King.

Immediately afterwards, Chishongzi discovered that Xuansushi was also avoiding him.

As a former deity of the Great Xia Dynasty, and a neutral figure between humans and gods, Xuan Su's avoidance of meeting her has, to some extent, already indicated her attitude.

Then the great battle between Wuluo and Etu took place.

In the present-day Hundred Mountains, high-intensity battles of god-like scale have not occurred for a long time.

It was at that time that Chisongzi and Wuluo realized that the Yinglong they had been searching for was actually inside the Tiangong-1 above their heads.

Yinglong had been watching their every move closely and was well aware of their purpose in coming here.

Whether out of consideration for Xuan Su's reputation or out of sheer disdain, Ying Long never responded to the two of them.

If it weren't for the huge commotion caused by Wu Luo and E Tu, Ying Long wouldn't have bothered to show his face.

So when Nu'e said that there were other candidates for the Hundred Mountains, even Wu Luo looked incredulous.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm telling the truth."

With a light, indifferent laugh, Nü'e spoke, completely unconcerned by their astonishment.

"Judging from your choices this time, you don't seem to mind if a race other than humans becomes the Witch King!"

"If that's the case, then why limit your attention to us?"

"In today's mountainous region, there is someone whose ideals, abilities, and wisdom meet your requirements."

Upon hearing this, Chisongzi immediately realized what was going on.

"A deity? Are there deities in the Hundred Mountains that meet our requirements?"

With a smile and a nod, Nü'e spoke slowly and deliberately.

"To be honest, He can't really be considered a god of the Hundred Mountains. Perhaps He has some connection with your Great Xia."

"He came from the Thunder Marsh of Kunlun, and was a primordial god born after Wu Yi shot down the heavens."

"This Thor is kind-hearted by nature, but he is not weak in character..."

"From Kunlun to these hundred mountains, He has witnessed the suffering of all living beings and has no prejudice against any sectarian group."

“Most importantly, He did not fully endorse the prophet’s ideas, and felt that the idea of ​​‘equality of all beings’ was itself a form of discrimination.”

"Strong is strong, weak is weak; this is an unchanging truth in the world."

"Only by having the strong support the weak and the weak highlight the strong can we achieve the prosperous age where everyone is like a dragon, as described by the Taoist Ancestor."

I listened silently to the entire story told by the woman.

Chisongzi and Wuluo exchanged a glance, both sensing the hesitation in each other's eyes.

Yinglong is alright, since his mother is a goddess of the Great Xia Dynasty and has a neutral stance.

Making him a candidate for the tenth Witch King may cause controversy, but he will also have many supporters.

At the very least, the gods of the Great Xia would be absolutely delighted with this outcome, and might even secretly encourage their followers to support the high priests' choice.

However, the resistance and pressure involved in electing a completely unfamiliar deity are unimaginable.

Even if the other party is just one of many candidates for the Witch King, it is absolutely enough to break the existing concepts and structure of the Great Xia Dynasty.

"What is His name?"

After a moment of silence, a resolute glint flashed in Chishongzi's eyes.

Upon hearing this question, Wu Luo's eyes widened in horror. "Are you insane!?"

"Even if that god is truly suitable, He/She is absolutely not allowed to be a candidate!"

"There is no precedent for this, and neither the great shaman nor the gods will approve of Him!"

Faced with Wu Luo's almost hysterical roar, Chi Songzi, who had already made up his mind, simply smiled nonchalantly.

"Precedents don't exist from the beginning."

"Since the shaman can break with tradition and allow Yinglong to participate in the election, why can't I make an exception once?"

Before Wu Luo could refute, Chi Songzi continued.

"Since the established practices have already been broken, what difference does it make if they are broken again?"

"Although the Dao Ancestor used the Eight Trigrams of the Primordial Era to restore order to the world, he did not change the course of the universe."

"But for the Great Xia, whether it's the Great Shaman or the gods, they have entered their weakest period in history..."

"If we can't seize this opportunity to break with convention, then those who come after us won't have such a good chance."

Looking firmly at Wu Luo, Chi Songzi suddenly smiled without warning.

"Actually, ever since I left Great Xia, I've been thinking about a question."

"The gods must not be allowed to touch the authority of the Witch King; this is a rule established by the second Witch King."

"But from another perspective, is it really a good thing to let the great shamans hold this power all the time?"

"In the era of the first and second Witch Kings, the Great Witches were indeed part of humanity, teammates who fought against the gods."

"However, after thousands of years of development and evolution, the Great Shaman has long since become a special class that is above humankind."

“When I traveled to countries outside of the Xia Dynasty, those people who were not accepted by the Great Xia even called the Great Shaman ‘Shaman God’.”

At this point, Chishongzi paused slightly and asked in a calm yet helpless tone.

"Do you know what this means?"

"This means that the Great Shaman has long since become a 'god' in the eyes of ordinary people, just like the gods."

"Perhaps the shaman saw this, which is why he decided to break with past practices and prevent the great shamans from holding onto this power forever."

"But that's where the problem lies. He wants to break free from the shackles, yet he's afraid of completely overthrowing the Great Xia Dynasty."

"I can understand his feelings, but I don't approve of his actions."

Chisongzi had never felt his thoughts were so clear and his goals so well-defined.

"As long as that deity has this kind of magnanimity, what does it matter if he has no connection with the Great Xia?"

"On the contrary, what if this god really became the Witch King..."

"Does that mean that the gods are no longer the gods they once were, and that they are just a group of different 'people'?"

“At the very least, those ancestral gods will re-acknowledge their identity as ‘human beings’ rather than as lofty deities.”

"This must be the 'equality of all beings' that the Dao Ancestor spoke of!"

When Chisongzi turned his gaze to Nü'e again, no one could shake his resolve and will.

In fact, Chishongzi, who was well aware of the difficulty involved, had even prepared to sacrifice himself in advance.

—I may not have the foresight of a shaman, but I am no longer the shaman I once was.

—If the transformation of the Great Xia Dynasty is destined to involve sacrifices, then I am willing to be the first to sacrifice.

"Please tell me the name and location of that deity."

Seeing this, Wu Luo opened his mouth as if to say something but then could only mutter a curse under his breath: "Madman."

"His name is Fu Kui, and he should be at the junction of the Hundred Mountains and the South China Sea now."
