Simulating the primordial era? That's way too extreme.

Chapter 35 An Unbreakable Alliance

A marriage alliance with me...?

To be honest, Zhao Si was a little taken aback when she saw Dijiang's marriage proposal:

"What makes me worthy of marriage alliance? No matter how superior the bloodline of the Azure Dragon of the East is, it can't compare to the level of Pangu's own daughter!"

Strictly speaking, let alone the Azure Dragon bloodline, even if the Ancestral Dragon himself came, it would still be a question whether he would be qualified to be a match for Pangu's own daughter!

Besides the mismatch in social status, there's also the difference in cultivation level. Jin Bing was a Great Luo Golden Immortal who achieved his status through sheer merit, whether that's true or not is another matter, but the quasi-saint cultivation of the Xuanming Ancestral Witch is undeniably real.

If these twelve Ancestral Witches joined forces, they could withstand the Heavenly Court's top-tier all-star lineup and still end up in mutual destruction. Each of them must be at least at the early stage of Quasi-Saint level.

Below the level of a sage, all are but ants. Even a quasi-sage is still called a sage, and although they are only one realm apart from a Great Luo, the difference between them is beyond comprehension.

Now, a Quasi-Saint is going to marry a Great Luo... It sounds absurd, like an emperor's beloved daughter suddenly marrying a poor boy. Only a poor, penniless scholar would dare to write such a fantastical plot...

"However, on the other hand, although the marriage alliance with the Ancestral Witch is shocking to our values, it becomes understandable when it comes to Jin Bing."

Jin Bing's cultivation level is not high, only at the Great Luo level, not considered to be in the top tier of the prehistoric world.

Jin Bing's background was also not good. He was the Nth prince of a second-rate sea tribe in the East Sea. Even though his bloodline evolved into the orthodox Azure Dragon, it was really nothing special. There were many people with stronger bloodlines than him.

But for Jin Bing, are cultivation level and background really that important?

No, Jin Bing's foundation has never been those two things. The reason he was chosen as the next Heavenly Emperor, could threaten the Quasi-Saint peak Emperor Jun, and even gained the support of the three ancient races, is essentially because he possessed a top-tier buff aura:

High Chieftain of the Human Race!

Everything he has comes from the human race. As the destined protagonist, Jin Bing actively slid down to bind himself to the human race, which is equivalent to borrowing the "power" of the destined protagonist. The powerful and noble human race is his source of power and political backing!

The reason why the Supreme Heavenly Emperor, a Quasi-Saint at the peak, was willing to pass on his throne to him, a mere Great Luo Immortal, was because of the human race.

The mysterious and life-loving ancient three races were willing to board his war chariot because of the human race.

The fact that the Twelve Ancestral Witches voluntarily allowed Xuanming, a quasi-saint level being, to marry them was also due to the human race.

Behind Jin Bing lies a powerful race!

All the forces that actively sought to associate with Kim Byung didn't care about him personally; their ultimate goal was to use his political status to achieve their own political objectives.

"So, wouldn't this be considered 'the dragon relying on its master's power'?"

A strange thought popped into Zhao Si's mind, and she shook her head, focusing her attention back on the three options:

"Option A, agreeing to the marriage alliance with Xuanming, is actually optional. If the Twelve Ancestral Witches want to truly form an alliance with Jinbing, they must have a marriage relationship. Otherwise, both sides will feel that the other is unreliable. At that time, it is unknown how much effort the Ancestral Witches can be expected to contribute in the fight against the Heavenly Court."

"I disagree with option B, but it's not that it's unacceptable. The Ancestral Witches will probably still ally with the human race, but just like the analysis in option A, without the most direct and reliable kinship, what if the Witches feel it's not worthwhile to be cannon fodder for the human race without compensation when fighting against the powerful Heavenly Court, and thus shirk their duties or even betray their allies..."

The scene was too beautiful for Zhao Si to bear, because such things had happened countless times in history. The Wu tribe had no need to confront the Heavenly Court, since Di Jun in this version of the prehistoric world was an enlightened and sage ruler who did not discriminate based on race. It was not impossible for the Wu tribe to rebel in the future.

Therefore, the two sides must have sufficient shared interests to form an unbreakable alliance; otherwise, it will crumble on its own.

As for option C...

Zhao Si hesitated, yet also felt a surge of excitement. Although it was just a word game, the idea of ​​twin sisters was just too thrilling...

"Let's give it a try first!"

"C!"

[You chose option C. One isn't enough! I've heard Houtu is also incomparably beautiful; I want them all!]

[You arrogantly proclaim yourself the supreme chieftain of the human race, of noble status! How can one Xuanming be enough to maintain the friendship between the Wu and Ren races? Adding Houtu would be more appropriate. With the two sisters in constant contact with you, the friendship between the Wu and Ren races will surely endure!]

[Dijiang: ...]

【"see a visitor out."】

[Dijiang calmly escorted you out of the Pangu Palace. On your way back to the human race with regret, several masked men suddenly jumped out of the roadside bushes and, without saying a word, brutally beat you with a sack over your head. The dignified Great Luo was utterly powerless to resist!]

[Because your fist was too powerful, you succumbed to your injuries, and the sun of humanity fell in bitterness.]

[Sensing the fall of a great virtuous person, the Heavenly Dao was enraged, and in its anger... it turned out that the Creator God's own sons had killed a green worm. I thought it was nothing serious. Goodbye.]

[You died. Your wrong choices led to a wrong ending... Your greed and lust not only failed to forge a reliable marriage alliance with the Witch Clan, but also angered the simple and honest Ancestral Witches... Of course, you didn't come away empty-handed. At least you learned with your life that the Twelve Ancestral Witches kill without incurring any karmic consequences, and that the Pangu bloodline truly makes one a superior demon!]

Is it possible to turn back time and go back to a previous life choice?

Ok?

Zhao Si looked at the message in surprise. It was not surprising that the protagonist would bring about his own demise, but what did it mean that the Pangu bloodline could kill without incurring any karmic consequences?

"Jin Bing has been active among the human race for nearly ten eons, and his merits are probably off the charts. Last time, even Di Jun was traded one for one at the limit, yet the Ancestral Witch, whose cultivation level is even lower than Di Jun's, is unharmed?"

Could it be... that the merits of Pangu in creating the world, which he left to his children, offset the guilt of killing Jin Bing?

"Impossible, right?"

Zhao Si was somewhat puzzled. He didn't know exactly how much merit Jin Bing had, but he estimated it was enough to become a saint. After all, the value of the only main body sun of the human race was beyond doubt, as it could be exchanged for the death of Di Jun, a peak quasi-saint.

Could the Twelve Ancestral Witches have so much merit to offset this? Pangu's merit in creating the world was naturally enormous, but the Three Pure Ones' merit was the bulk of it; the Ancestral Witches at most inherited some scraps.

"Isn't this an act of merit?"

Zhao Si frowned and looked at the message again:

"The key information should be in these few paragraphs... If it's not because of merit, could it really be because of bloodline?"

The game system never reveals crucial information carelessly. Since it says it's because "Pangu's bloodline is superior to demons," then that must be the reason.

The descriptive term "superior to all demons" had previously only appeared for the human race. The game describes humans as "superior to all demons" with the "stamp of Heaven's will." Now, it has been applied to the witch race.

Could it be...

"Could it be that the Witch Clan shares some fundamental similarity with the Human Clan?"

Zhao Si then realized the key point:

Why is the human race, a "genetically modified clone race" created out of thin air by Nuwa, born as the destined protagonist? Why is it superior to demons?

Even Nuwa's attainment of sainthood was due to her creation of the human race!

Is there some kind of relationship between the human race and the witch race, or rather... between them and Pangu, that they are currently unaware of?

Those with Pangu bloodline are a cut above demons, and their killing is not subject to karma.

The bloodline of the human race is sealed by the Heavenly Dao; supporting it is a great merit.

"etc!"

Zhao Si suddenly remembered Di Jiang's marriage proposal:

"The marriage between Xuanming and Jinbing is just one of the chains they use to ensure the alliance between the Wu and Human races. Their real purpose is to promote marriage between the Wu and the Human races. They are even willing to sacrifice the interests of the Ancestral Witch Xuanming to marry me, a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Xuanming does not object to this."

"This is enough to prove that the marriage alliance between witches and sorcerers is of great significance to the witch clan, even surpassing that of the ancestral witches themselves. What secret lies behind this...?"
