Primordial Era: A Counterattack Against Hongjun Daozu at the Start

Hou Tu Zu Wu and Xuan Ming Zu Wu were not only female, but also the two ancestral witches who took human form last among all the ancestral witches.

Therefore, the ancestral witches, including Di Hong, took special care of them.

When they learned that the Ancestral Witch of the Earth wanted to transform into the Cycle of Reincarnation, their first reaction was to worry that she would sacrifice herself like the Great God Pangu.

"If the Ancestral Witches are worried only because of this, then there is no need to be overly concerned. Although there are risks involved in incarnating into reincarnation, it is not a dead end," Zhou Yi said.

"Oh? Fellow Daoist Zhouyi, could you please explain in more detail?" asked Ancestral Witch Emperor Hong.

Zhou Yi understood how difficult it was to make these ancestral shamans comprehend the concept of reincarnation. Therefore, he explained it in the simplest possible way:

"The transformation into Samsara may seem similar to the transformation of Pangu into all things, but in reality, the two are fundamentally different. After transforming into Samsara, the Ancestral Witch of the Earth will no longer exist in its current form, but will become Samsara itself, but Samsara is not the Ancestral Witch of the Earth."

This matter is of profound significance to the primordial world, and the Heavenly Dao will surely bestow endless blessings upon it. This power will help the Thick Earth Ancestral Witch break through the limits of the Witch Clan since ancient times.

If my prediction is correct, the Ancestral Witch of Thick Earth will nurture a primordial spirit, thereby transcending the limits and reaching the level of a sage.

"A saint? The Earth Maiden can become a saint?"

All the ancestral witches were shocked upon hearing this. Although they were brave and fearless, they were well aware of the terrifying power of the sage.

"At least within the cycle of reincarnation, the Ancestral Witch of Thick Earth definitely possesses power comparable to that of a sage," Zhou Yi said confidently.

The Book of Changes does not exaggerate this point. The merit accumulated from constructing the six realms of reincarnation is immeasurable.

Looking back at the other six sages, although Nuwa's achievement in creating humans was remarkable, it was not considered a particularly outstanding achievement in the current prehistoric world.

The Three Pure Ones achieved some success because they inherited the legacy of Pangu's creation of the world, but when they became saints, they only established their own sects and could hardly be said to have made a great contribution to the world.

The two Western Saints are even more special; they borrowed a great deal of merit from the Heavenly Dao to become saints.

The merit of transforming the earth into the cycle of reincarnation is so great that it can probably only be surpassed by Pangu's creation of the world, and can be compared to the Dao Ancestor's preaching of the Dao to all living beings.

It could even be said that such immense merit could elevate even a pig to the status of a saint.

However, things always have two sides. If the Ancestral Witch of Houtu really becomes a perfect saint, then the power structure of the entire prehistoric world will undergo earth-shattering changes.

Once the Witch Clan possesses a Sage, the Demon Clan will be instantly annihilated, and humanity will lose its chance to rise.

According to the I Ching, after the ancestral witch of the thick earth is transformed into reincarnation, she will also be subject to many restrictions.

Therefore, the Book of Changes emphasizes that in the cycle of reincarnation, the ancestral shaman of the fertile earth will become a being comparable to a sage.

Otherwise, taking Ksitigarbha as an example, how could he remain in the underworld and even obtain the title of Ksitigarbha King?

"Please wait a moment. Fellow Daoist Zhou Yi, could you please explain in detail that even if Sister Hou Tu can become a saint, she must have to pay a certain price?"

Emperor Hong, the Ancestral Witch, truly lived up to his reputation as the head of the Twelve Ancestral Witches. Compared to the other Ancestral Witches, he was not only more composed but also had a more profound understanding of the subject.

Indeed, if the Wu tribe were all simple-minded, they would have been plotted against and destroyed by the demon tribe long ago. How could they possibly compete with the demon tribe for the world?

"Although the transformation of the Thick Earth Ancestral Witch into a being of reincarnation is an opportunity to become a saint, after becoming a saint, she may no longer be able to interfere in the affairs of the Witch Clan!" Zhou Yi explained.

"Why is that?" asked Chongli Zuwu in confusion.

"Everyone should understand that there are already six sages in the primordial world, and above the sages there is a Dao Ancestor."

"Neither the six sages nor the Dao Ancestor would allow a single sage to intervene in the battle between the Lich King and the Demon King," Zhou Yi replied.

This conclusion was drawn by Zhouyi based on its own analysis, but if we consider the possible development of the Lich War, the probability of this scenario occurring is quite high.

"A sage? Hmph!" Emperor Hong, the Ancestral Witch, snorted coldly and said nothing more.

After the many ancestral witches had left, the ancestral witch Hou Tu came to visit alone, and hesitated to speak several times in front of Zhou Yi.

"If the Ancestral Witch of Thick Earth has any questions, please feel free to speak them. I will do my best to help!" Zhou Yi said sincerely.

"I feel that you know a lot of things. Can you tell me if I were to become a reincarnation, would that be the only way out for my race?" Hou Tu Zu Wu slowly voiced his doubts.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yi's face flashed with surprise, wondering how the Ancestral Witch of Thick Earth knew about this.

"No need to say anything, I understand." Before Zhou Yi could respond, Hou Tu Zu Wu sighed softly and turned to leave alone.

Watching the departing figure of the Ancestral God of Thick Earth, Zhou Yi realized that he seemed to have never truly understood the Ancestral God of Thick Earth.

As the ancestral witch Hou Tu said, the fate of the witch and demon races was already predetermined.

Neither the six sages nor the supreme Dao Ancestor would allow the powerful Wu and Yao races to continue dominating the primordial world.

The course of Heaven indicates that humanity is the future protagonist, which also means that the Lich and Demon races must withdraw from the stage of history.

After the Ancestral Witch of Thick Earth incarnates into Reincarnation, she will make a great contribution to the prehistoric world, which will not only preserve a glimmer of hope for the Witch Clan.

Moreover, within the cycle of reincarnation, with the protection of the Thick Earth Ancestral Witch, the Witch Clan can live safely, and even the Heavenly Dao can hardly pose a threat to them.

However, how did the Ancestral Witch of the Thick Earth, who had not yet transformed into the Cycle of Reincarnation, know all of this in advance? Was it some kind of mysterious intuition that guided her, or was there another reason?

After staying with the Witch Clan for several days, Zhou Yi decided to bid farewell and return to the Human Clan. During his time wandering, he missed his homeland and wanted to go back and see it.

He chose to return to his hometown at this time because he knew that the Ancestral Witch of Houtu would not easily decide to transform into reincarnation in the short term.

It wasn't because she lacked determination, but because she had already shown a firm resolve when discussing the future of the Wu tribe with Zhou Yi.

However, due to the intervention of the Book of Changes, Hou Tu Zu Wu and other Zu Wu realized that reincarnation was not a simple matter.

Therefore, if the Ancestral Witch of Houtu were to make such a sacrifice, meticulous preparations would be necessary, as would be made by the entire Witch Clan.

After all, the Netherworld Blood Sea is full of dangers, as it is home not only to the powerful Styx Master, but also to the Asura race he created.

The Wu tribe also needs to consider how to deal with the upcoming war between the Wu and the Demon after the Thick Earth Ancestral Wu has transformed into Reincarnation.

The ancestral witch's arrangement of merging the earth with the cycle of reincarnation would take at least a century to stabilize. If this arrangement could be perfected, the witch clan might gain an advantage in the impending cataclysm.

While deducing the future, Zhou Yi hurried on his journey and soon returned to the human settlement.

However, after several decades away, the tribe has once again shown signs of prosperity. The golden lotus of fortune in the sea of ​​consciousness sways and shines brightly, a testament to the tribe's flourishing fortune.

Suihuang arrived in a hurry with Elders Youchao and Cangwen. Before even stepping into the palace, he laughed loudly, "The Ancestor of Humanity has finally returned! The cultivation methods you left behind are truly profound. Now, hundreds of people in the clan have broken through to the Dragon Transformation Realm."
