Primordial Era: Cultivation level equals the sum of the Jie Sect's total; the Three Pure Ones a

Seeing the Wu tribe's expression, Yuanshi's eyes turned cold:

"Dijiang, everything I have said is true."

"Xuandu and the human race have become a major threat to the Wu clan. If they are not eliminated now, the consequences will be endless."

"As for the Heaven-Reaching Wrath... the Witch Clan possesses the Heavenly Divine Fiend Array, capable of summoning the phantom of Pangu. What fear is there of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array?"

He paused, then continued:

"If the Witch Clan makes a move, I can secretly prevent the Zhou Tian Star Array from operating at full power, creating an opportunity for the Witch Clan."

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.

How dare the Primordial Celestial Venerable make such a promise?

During a great calamity, the secrets of heaven are in disarray, and cause and effect are intertwined. Even sages must be extremely cautious to avoid being tainted by too much calamity energy, which could affect their own path of cultivation.

However, in order to sever the foundation between Xuandu and the human race, Yuanshi was willing to risk the backlash of cause and effect, secretly restraining the Zhou Tian Star Array to create an opportunity for the Wu Clan.

This sincerity is almost too alarming.

Di Jiang's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and the phantom of the giant axe trembled slightly on his shoulder.

heart.

He was indeed tempted.

Xuan Du has attained the Great Luo of Primordial Chaos, and martial arts have become an unstoppable force, with the rise of the human race imminent.

If, as Yuanshi said, human blood has a restraining effect on the witch race, then the day the human race grows stronger will be the day the witch race is controlled.

The great calamity is about to begin, and the Lich King and the Lich King will inevitably clash. Any variable could affect the final outcome.

If, while Xuan Du's realm is still unstable and the human race's foundation is still shallow, they can seize the opportunity to overturn the shores of the East Sea and sever the martial arts lineage, then the Wu Clan's chances of winning in the Great Tribulation will greatly increase.

not to mention......

Yuanshi also promised to secretly restrain the Zhou Tian Star Array.

The demon race's greatest reliance is the Zhou Tian Star Array. If this array cannot be fully activated, the Pangu phantom summoned by the Wu race's Du Tian Shen Sha Array will have an absolute advantage!

At that time, not only will the potential threat of the human race be eliminated, but the initiative will also be gained in the decisive battle against the demon race.

Killing two birds with one stone!

"Big brother..."

Flames flickered in Zhurong's eyes. He licked his lips and whispered:

"Although that old bastard Yuanshi is annoying, what he said... is not untrue."

Gonggong, surrounded by the power of water, sneered:

"Human ants, how dare you contend with my witch clan? Let's wipe them out as soon as possible to avoid future trouble."

The ancestral witches, including Jumang, Rushou, and Xuanming, also had different expressions, clearly weighing the pros and cons.

Yuanshi Tianzun stood amidst the Jade Purity Immortal Light, his face calm, but a barely perceptible hint of smugness flashed in his eyes.

He knows the Wu tribe too well.

These barbarians are simple-minded, impulsive, and value blood ties and power above all else.

Using the threat of humanity as bait, the prospect of victory in the Great Calamity as leverage, and further supported by the promise of restraint through the Zhou Tian Star Array...

We're not afraid they won't take the bait!

however.

Just as Dijiang was about to agree.

"This matter need not be discussed further."

A clear and calm voice suddenly rang out.

Houtu slowly stepped forward and stood beside Dijiang.

Her eyes were clear as she looked at Yuanshi Tianzun. Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable firmness:

"My witch clan... will not agree to this."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Pangu Hall fell silent.

Dijiang and the others were all taken aback and turned to look at Houtu, their eyes filled with doubt and confusion.

Little sister...why is that?

The conditions offered by Yuanshi are entirely beneficial to the Wu tribe, so why should they refuse?

The Primordial Celestial Venerable also frowned slightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes:

"Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, what do you mean by this?"

Houtu ignored Yuanshi, but turned her head to look at Dijiang, a barely perceptible hint of urgency flashing in her eyes.

At the same time, a divine thought quietly entered the depths of Di Jiang's mind:

"Brother, don't fall for their trap."

"Yuanshi's visit here is by no means well-intentioned."

"He appears to be plotting for the Witch Clan, but in reality... he intends to drag our Witch Clan into an abyss of no return!"

Di Jiang's pupils contracted slightly, his face remaining expressionless, as he secretly responded telepathically:

"Why do you say that, little sister?"

Houtu's voice travels incredibly fast, each word clear and distinct:

"Firstly, Xuandu has already attained the Hunyuan Daluo realm, his martial arts have been perfected, he has gained the approval of the Great Dao, and he has been blessed with the merits of the Great Dao. His fortune is at its peak, and his momentum is already established."

"To oppose him now is to oppose the Great Dao, to oppose the nascent laws of the primordial world, and even more so, to oppose the billions upon billions of humans who have awakened their martial will!"

"Although my Wu Clan is strong, do we really want to fight to the death against the entire new humanity, against the martial arts recognized by the Great Dao, and against a Grand Luo Immortal?"

Di Jiang was startled.

Houtu continued:

"Secondly, it is true that the blood of the human race is able to restrain the blood of my witch race, but that is on the premise that the blood essence of the human race is refined into the witch-slaying sword by the demon race."

"The martial arts passed down by Xuandu are a way to temper oneself and tap into one's potential, and have nothing to do with the essence and blood of the human race."

"Just because the human race is powerful doesn't necessarily mean they will become enemies with my witch race."

"on the contrary......"

Houtu paused, a deeper meaning creeping into her telepathic message:

"Our witch clan and the human race have never had any conflict."

"When the human race was weak, my witch clan not only did not take advantage of their misfortune, but also helped the human race kill the demon race."

"On the contrary, the demon race slaughtered thirty-seven tribes of humans, extracted their blood to forge swords, and forged a blood feud with the human race."

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

"Why should my Wu Clan, for a mere empty promise from Yuanshi, wage a life-or-death conflict with the Human Race, Xuandu, and the Jie Sect...?"

The sounds echoed like thunderclaps deep within Emperor Jiang's Dao heart!

He was misled by Yuanshi's words and only saw the potential threat to the human race, but he did not think of this aspect.

Yes.

When have the Witch Clan and the Human Clan ever had a conflict?

On the contrary, the demon race has a deep-seated hatred for the human race.

When Xuandu led hundreds of millions of humans to besiege the Demon Court, the Wu Clan went to "watch the show," and Xuandu even showed goodwill to the Wu Clan.

If the Wu Clan heeds Yuan Shi's words and attacks the shores of the East Sea, they will be pushing the human race, a potential ally, to the opposite side!

Even more terrifying is...

Thirdly.

Houtu's voice echoed again, carrying a hint of coldness:

"Yuanshi's promise to secretly restrain the Zhou Tian Star Array... is utterly unbelievable!"

"The Zhou Tian Star Array is the foundation of the Demon Court, and its destiny is connected to that of Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi. How could Yuanshi secretly restrain it?"

"Even if he could do it, why would he risk such a great deal for my witch clan?"

"His true purpose is to use the Witch Clan to eliminate Xuandu and the Human Clan, thus clearing obstacles for his Chan Sect."

"Once it's done, he can easily renege on his promise and even join forces with the demon race to deal with my witch race!"

"At that time, my Wu clan will face the wrath of the demon race, the Jie sect, and even the human race simultaneously!"

"In the midst of this great calamity, surrounded by enemies on all sides... is there any way for my Wu tribe to survive?"

The last sentence struck Dijiang's heart like a heavy hammer blow!

He trembled violently, and a horrified glint suddenly flashed in his eyes!

Yes!

Yuan Shi's plan was extremely vicious!

On the surface, it's a plan for the Witch Clan, but in reality, it's about dragging them into a dead end!

If the Wu Clan truly attacks the shores of the East Sea, the Jie Sect will not stand idly by. In his thunderous rage, the Tongtian Sect Master will activate the Zhuxian Sword Formation, and the Wu Clan will face an unyielding and deadly confrontation with a Saint.

The demon race, of course, would not let go of this opportunity to reap the benefits.

At that time, the Wu tribe will be attacked from both sides, and before the great calamity even begins, it will have already lost its vitality.

As for Yuanshi... he only needs to sit on the sidelines and watch the tigers fight. Once the Wu Clan and the Jie Sect are both exhausted, he can calmly clean up the mess and seek the greatest benefit for the Chan Sect!

What a ruthless calculation!

What a ruthless intention!

Dijiang slowly raised his head, his gaze towards Yuanshi Tianzun now icy cold.

"The Beginning".

He spoke slowly, his voice rough, yet carrying an unprecedented solemnity:

"We, the Wu tribe, appreciate your kindness."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable frowned, and a cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes:

"Dijiang, what do you mean by this?"

Dijiang grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth, and the phantom image of the giant axe on his shoulder slowly rose:

"It means..."

"The affairs of my Wu tribe are none of your business, the Chan Sect!"

"What happens to the human race, what happens to Xuandu, what happens to the Jie Sect... these are all the karma between my Wu Clan and them. What does it have to do with you, Yuanshi?"

"As for the Zhou Tian Star Array..."

Dijiang scoffed, his eyes filled with disdain:

"Our Wu Clan's Heavenly Divine Array can be broken on its own; why would we need your covert interference?"

"Yuanshi, you should go back and properly discipline your Chan Sect disciples. Don't come to my Wu Clan again... and cause any more trouble!"

The last two words, spoken with the force of thunder, carrying immense energy, exploded with a deafening roar!

Inside the Pangu Palace, the enormous heart of Pangu suddenly began to beat faster.

A primordial, earth-shattering pressure spread out, resonating with Dijiang's blood and energy, transforming into an invisible barrier that crashed fiercely into Yuanshi Tianzun!

"presumptuous!"

The face of the Primordial Celestial Venerable turned completely gloomy. The Three Treasures Jade Ruyi in his sleeve shone brightly, and the Jade Purity Immortal Light surged out like a tide, colliding fiercely with the pressure of blood and qi!

"boom!"

A silent roar exploded within the Pangu Palace.

The void crumbled inch by inch, earth, fire, water, and wind surged, and the laws of nature raged wildly.

The twelve Ancestral Witches stepped forward in unison, their qi and blood erupting violently.

Twelve pillars of energy and blood, reaching to the heavens and the earth, shot into the sky, intertwining and rotating within the hall, faintly transforming into a towering phantom of Pangu!
