Primordial Era: The Witch Clan's Dog-Headed Strategist

When the Three Pure Ones entered the divine path, the Great Dao responded, and heavenly flowers rained down and golden lotuses sprang from the earth.

The golden and blue petals and lotus flowers fell from the heavens and lingered for a long time.

In the primordial world, every living being with some cultivation sensed that vast and boundless vibration of the laws.

That was the Great Dao's recognition of the divine system, and even more so, a silent shaking of the old order of the entire primordial world.

The East China Sea, deep within the eye of the sea.

The ancestral dragon coiled on its throne, its dragon might and divine authority intertwining into a deep, dark blue.

Since being conferred the title of the Primordial Water God, although he still cannot leave the eye of the sea for long, that constraint has changed from passive to active.

He was no longer bound by the oath of the Great Dao to guard the eye of the sea, but personally oversaw the hub of the four seas as the Lord of the Water God.

At this moment, he was closing his eyes to sense the operation of the four sea veins when he suddenly sensed the response of the Great Dao descending from the sky.

When he sensed the specific details of the Three Pure Ones joining the divine path, a hint of undisguised surprise flashed in his golden dragon eyes.

"The Three Pure Ones... have actually entered the path of divinity."

Zu Long's voice was deep and resonant, carrying a hint of disbelief and emotion.

He lived through countless years and experienced the bloody calamity of the Dragon-Han War.

Having witnessed the entire process of the three clans from their peak to their decline, he understands the significance of the Three Pure Ones better than anyone else.

Those were transformed from the primordial spirit of Pangu, and can be said to be the three innate deities with the deepest roots in the primordial world.

Their joining Shinto means that the upper limit of the Shinto system has been greatly raised.

It is no longer "the divine way of the witch clan", but truly possesses the potential to rival the immortal way of Hongjun.

What the Ancestral Dragon was even more concerned about was the impact of raising the upper limit of the Divine Path on the Dragon Clan.

He could feel it clearly.

The divine law of the Water God between his brows had become more solid and profound at that moment, and its connection with the Heavenly Dao had become even closer.

The increased power of the water god means that the merits accumulated by the dragons in managing water veins and bringing rain will increase exponentially, and the speed at which they repay their karmic debts to Heaven will also accelerate.

"Ao Yuan." The voice of the Ancestral Dragon rang out in the sea.

Ao Yuan, the Dragon King of the East Sea, entered from outside the palace and knelt on one knee: "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"

"Issue a decree to the four seas: from this day forward, the River God, the water god of the Dragon Clan, shall devote himself even more diligently to the task of managing the water veins, and shall not slacken in the slightest."

With the Three Pure Ones entering the divine path, the upper limit of the divine system has been raised, and the speed at which my dragon race repays its karma will also accelerate. This is a tremendous opportunity that cannot be missed.

Ao Yuan respectfully replied, "Your subordinate obeys." He paused, glanced up at the expression on the Ancestral Dragon's face, and tentatively asked.

"Your Majesty, does the inclusion of the Three Pure Ones in the Divine Path mean that the Divine Path system now has the strength to directly confront the Hongjun Immortal Path?"

After a moment of silence, Zu Long slowly said, "A direct confrontation is not necessarily possible, but at least it is no longer a situation where Hongjun alone holds absolute power."

The divine path is rooted in the Wu clan, with the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans as its branches, the Three Pure Ones in charge of education, and the Blood Sea guarding the Netherworld.

The completeness of this system is no less than that of Hongjun's Xuanmen (mysterious sect).

More importantly, the divine path is an order that rises from the bottom up and is shared by all races, while the immortal path is a rule that rises from the top down and is controlled by Hongjun alone.

The battle between the two has only just begun.

Meanwhile, on the immortal volcano in the south, atop the sacred parasol tree.

Yuan Feng stood atop the highest branch, her crimson-gold robes fluttering in the light of the Nirvana Flame.

Her phoenix eyes were slightly closed as she surveyed the primordial sky with the authority of the sky goddess.

When the ripples of the Great Dao's response arrived, she suddenly opened her eyes, a rare hint of surprise flashing in her phoenix eyes.

"The Three Pure Ones have entered the path of divinity."

Yuan Feng's voice was clear and composed, but Qing Luan, who had followed her for countless years, could hear the rare excitement in the adult's tone.

"With the combined power of Pangu's primordial spirit and Pangu's essence blood, this divine system is no longer limited to the Wu clan alone."

With the Three Pure Ones in charge of education, all beings have guidance for their spiritual practice, and the wind, clouds, rain, and snow under the jurisdiction of the Sky God will also complement the way of education.

The Phoenix Clan's flame of rebirth may illuminate the path of cultivation for many more beings.

Qingluan stood behind her and asked softly, "My lady, what impact will the Three Pure Ones' ascension to the Divine Path have on my Phoenix Clan?"

"With the increase in the upper limit of the divine path, the Phoenix Clan will be able to repay their karma faster."

Yuan Feng turned around, her phoenix eyes reflecting the thousands of leaves of the Wutong Divine Tree.

"More importantly, the Three Pure Ones taking charge of education means that the divine system has since had a complete lineage of cultivation."

In the past, the gods only managed the order of mountains and rivers, and all living beings still had to explore their own paths to spiritual cultivation.

Now, with the three paths of preaching, expounding, and cultivating life running in parallel, the path of cultivation has been guided, and the cultivation speed of living beings within the territory covered by the divine system will be greatly increased.

This is a good thing for the Phoenix Clan.

A fire phoenix flew out from the depths of the treetops and landed before Yuan Feng, respectfully asking, "My lord, is there anything the Phoenix Clan needs to do?"

Yuan Feng pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "There's no need to do anything deliberately."

The Phoenix Clan is small in number, and fulfilling their duties as the Sky God is the greatest contribution they can make to the divine path.

Furthermore, since the Three Pure Ones have entered the path of divinity, they will inevitably have to establish temples in various parts of the prehistoric world in the future.

The Phoenix Clan can choose one or two famous mountains and rivers and send clansmen there to work with the local mountain gods, water gods, and sky gods to maintain order in the region.

With the Three Pure Ones joining forces with the Wu Clan, the divine realm is now vastly different from what it once was.

Although the Phoenix Clan is proud and aloof, it must also adapt to the changing circumstances.

The Azure Phoenix and the Fire Phoenix responded in unison.

At the foot of Buzhou Mountain, there is Qilin Cliff.

The First Qilin still lay on that huge blue stone.

Since being appointed as the Mountain God Inspector, he is no longer the old man covered in moss, but has regained the dignity befitting the chieftain of the Qilin clan.

But at this moment, when the fluctuations of the Great Dao's response came, a rare hint of excitement flashed in his usually calm eyes.

He slowly stood up and looked in the direction of Buzhou Mountain.

An aged and deep voice echoed across Qilin Cliff: "Pangu's primordial spirit and Pangu's essence have finally come together."

The Qilin clan patrols the mountains and rivers, and the Three Pure Ones enlighten all living beings. If this system of deities can truly operate for a long time, what need is there for the primordial world to be unsettled?

He turned around and looked at the young Qilin playing in the mountains behind him, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes, "You were born in a good time."

In the west, Mount Sumeru.

Jieyin and Zhunti had just returned from Buzhou Mountain.

After that message was delivered, they remained in seclusion in Mount Sumeru, digesting what they had gained from the Purple Cloud Palace, while silently observing the changes in the prehistoric situation.

When the fluctuations of the Great Dao's response penetrated the restrictions of Mount Sumeru and reached their ears, the two opened their eyes almost simultaneously.

"The Three Pure Ones...have joined the path of the gods."

Jieyin's voice remained calm, but Zhunti could detect a hint of undisguised shock in his senior brother's tone.

"The Three Pure Ones, who once looked down on the Witch Clan in the Purple Cloud Palace, have now quietly entered the path of divinity. There must be a reason for this."

Zhunti sat opposite Jieyin, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes: "We all know what kind of people the Three Pure Ones are."

Yuanshi valued legitimacy above all else, always considering himself the true descendant of Pangu, and always looked down on the Wu tribe.

It's unbelievable that he's now willing to join the divine system established by the Wu clan; it's more incredible than the sun rising in the west.

The only possibility is that the Witch Clan offered conditions that the Three Pure Ones could not refuse, or that something significant happened that was enough to change the Three Pure Ones' view of the Witch Clan.
