The Holy Path of the Primordial World Shines Brightly

Chapter 113 Merit and Virtue, Mysterious Yellow Coins!

Inside the main hall, Feng Xi and Hou Tu engaged in a cross-time dialogue, with Feng Xi explaining the strategic plan he had painstakingly devised.

"Holding the Dutian Cup Games to showcase the powerful physique and talent of our Wu tribe's athletes is preparation for ideological infiltration..."

"Or perhaps they secretly promote the concept of reincarnation and blessings, bewitching people and converting the lower strata of the demon race on the spot, thus influencing the general trend of humanity..."

Feng Xi came one by one.

As he recounted the story, Houtu's expression first turned solemn, then to realization, and finally to joy, her gaze towards Fengxi filled with admiration and wonder.

A capable minister!

So capable!

A complete strategic plan was devised to launch a disruptive attack on the demon race's order, tearing it apart from top to bottom... In the foreseeable future, the demon race camp will be caught in self-contradiction and self-criticism.

"The decision regarding the two strategic plans, and whether our Wu tribe should participate or not in the Dutian Cup Games, is left to the Holy Witch Houtu. Please also consider appropriate measures such as protecting our power and shielding our information..."

Feng Xi bowed, awaiting Hou Tu's instructions.

Houtu smiled faintly at this, "Why should we choose one of the two?"

She extended one hand, slowly clenching it into a fist as a gesture, "Whether it's showcasing the power of the Witch Clan, sowing discord between the upper and lower classes of the Demon Clan, or promoting the concept of reincarnation... I want it all!"

Do you understand?

Houtu's pretty face tightened, and she looked down at Fengxi with an air of majesty.

"I understand... I understand." Feng Xi hesitated for a moment, "But with the limited manpower my Wu Clan has dispatched to the Kunlun Mountains, completing even one task is probably the limit... Any more?"

"I'm afraid there will be problems, and the demon race will find a weakness."

"That's no problem!" Houtu waved her hand. "My Wu tribe lacks everything, but we don't lack people!"

"By the way, what kind of talent are you looking for?"

"There are mainly two aspects," Feng Xi said, her eyes lighting up. "One is physical strength, which is preparation for winning the championship; the other is eloquence, which is preparation for promoting Reincarnation!"

"As for the number of people, the more the better, there's no upper limit!"

"Alright!" Houtu decided. "I'll send people over there in a while to take your orders!"

"Hmm... As for the matter of destiny concerning the demon race? And your personal safety?" She frowned slightly, "You don't need to worry."

"I will ask the two ancestral witches, Xuanming and Xizi, to reverse fate, disrupt the will of heaven, and divert the attention of the demon race's higher-ups."

"Furthermore, a great shaman will be present to protect your life."

"Furthermore, if during the cycle of propagation one encounters any insurmountable obstacles that cannot be overcome with wisdom, one can mobilize its power to crush them!"

"In addition, I will grant you a very special fund for publicity and networking; please use it with caution!"

Houtu clearly went all out.

Feng Xi was overjoyed.

He had not expected that Houtu would provide such strong support.

Money if needed, people if needed, and even a powerful bodyguard... Originally, I thought that shielding myself from fate was the limit.

'It seems Houtu values ​​this work even more than I imagined…' He had a vague idea. 'Is it about defeating the demon race? Or is it about the implementation of reincarnation?'

The subsequent instructions from the Ancestral Witch confirmed some of his guesses.

"I'll support you with all this, but I have only one request for you." Houtu's expression was serious, "The propaganda for Reincarnation must succeed!"

She stared at Feng Xi, putting immense pressure on him. "I know this is not easy. The demon race also has formidable strategists who are experts in this field and adept at planning and scheming."

"The strategy you designed will inevitably face enormous pressure as it develops."

"but……"

"Even at the most dangerous point, on the verge of failure, we would rather give up other jobs than fail, but we must realize the reincarnation strategy and make the concept of 'accumulated merit and blessings' a mainstream humanitarian principle!"

"Understood, Your Majesty!" Feng Xi said solemnly. "I pledge my life to ensure the success of Reincarnation!"

"If I cannot achieve reincarnation, I shall atone with my life!"

He swore an oath, his loyalty is as clear as heaven and earth!

Houtu gazed at it, then suddenly smiled, nodding in admiration, "No need for such exaggeration, I just wanted you to know the importance of this."

"You have the ability and the wisdom, and plenty of opportunities to shine. Why speak of death so easily?"

The Ancestral Witch spoke gently and soothingly to reassure his capable ministers, easing their psychological burden.

"Alright," Houtu said finally. "Don't rush into action until my men arrive in Kunlun. Be careful to keep it a secret and watch out for eavesdroppers."

She glanced at Yu Chen, causing the previously composed little witch who had been watching everything unfold to instantly straighten up and then—turn around!

This is a demonstration that he heard nothing, saw nothing, and knew nothing.

Houtu nodded in satisfaction.

"That's fine then." The image of the Ancestral Witch gradually faded away. "When the cycle of reincarnation is completed in the future, I will surely remember your great contribution."

"To claim the title of ancestor and ruler is entirely within reach!"

Houtu's promise brought a smile to Fengxi's face.

"Does this... mean you're going to stamp my document?"

He wanted to ask more questions, but the image vanished too quickly. Before he could finish speaking, Houtu had already disappeared without a trace.

Feng Xi could only sigh and bury her questions deep in her heart.

……

"Hahaha!"

"From this day forward, the fate of this primordial world... rests in my hands!"

In the magnificent temple, Houtu, the ancestral witch, suddenly stood up and laughed heartily, her joy overflowing.

"Sister Houtu, why is this?" The Xuanming Ancestral Witch sitting next to her was taken aback.

"I am overjoyed... because the shadows of the times are beginning to dissipate, and I can see the dawn of victory." Houtu clapped her hands and exclaimed, "The Wu tribes were locked in a stalemate, but from this moment on, we have a greater chance of winning!"

"But what happened?" Xuanming frowned.

"There's a little fellow who's quite capable, contributing to my grand plan of reincarnation," Houtu explained patiently, her enthusiasm high. "I've roughly calculated it, and the chances of success are very high."

She repeated the contents of the "Hidden Virtue and Blessings" report that Feng Xi had submitted to Xuan Ming, and concluded, "This method of bypassing the high-ranking members of the demon race and taking a different approach to directly infiltrate from the bottom up and steal their base is really ingenious."

"He's incredibly audacious!" Houtu said. "Although the strategic details and specific operational methods he described are still quite immature and not mature enough... but that doesn't matter."

"With him setting the precedent, the remaining details can be handled by professionals."

"What's truly important is innovative thinking... that's the key to breaking the deadlock." The Ancestral Witch exclaimed, "He was able to transcend the shadow of the Great Luo Heaven's Will, think from a humanistic perspective, manipulate the pieces called 'all living beings,' and ultimately influence and affect even the highest levels of power in the world..."

"This reminds me of another system..." Houtu murmured, "The system that roamed the universe during the last great calamity, encompassing all living beings and the three thousand saints!"

"Even today, or for countless eons to come, we cannot escape being born with the world, dancing with all living beings..."

As Houtu spoke, the Xuanming Ancestral Witch, who was listening nearby, looked solemn, as if she had thought of something.

"Merit and fortune!" Xuanming enunciated each word clearly. "As long as we exist in the primordial universe, this is a topic we can never avoid!"

"Yes... merit and fortune!" Houtu let out a long breath. "Merit and fortune, everyone has to compete for them, and no one can afford not to!"

"No matter how amazing or talented you are... if you want to improve rapidly, you have to become mercenary and meticulous in this regard, even if it means going to great lengths to get ahead."

"No matter what great supernatural powers you possess, what saintly giants you are, not one of you can escape." Houtu smiled, her eyes filled with longing and envy. "I wonder if one day, my system of reincarnation—the system of accumulating merit and good fortune—can, like this system of merit and fortune, transform the false into the true, reverse cause and effect, and become the orthodox origin of heaven and earth?"

"Yes, yes!" Xuanming wholeheartedly supported, "We'll crush the demon race, shatter the shackles of the Heavenly Dao, and nothing can stop us from carrying out our will!"

"Yes! Defeat the demon race!" Houtu's eyes sharpened as she encouraged herself, "Anything is possible!"

After offering encouragement, she looked somewhat discouraged, saying, "But this is really not easy."

Xuanming remained silent, so he approached, patted Xuanming's head, and offered words of encouragement.

"Although those high-ranking members of the demon race all have their own ideas and can't work together... even if they just put on a show, they're all incredibly difficult to deal with," Houtu muttered. "Those like Xi Huang, Di Jun, and Bai Ze... they're all wise men praised throughout the world, but they're all wicked at heart, constantly bullying us honest people of the Wu race!"

"Especially that Xi Huang, the most intelligent being among the demon race. It was because of his wisdom that Di Jun invited him to be the emperor of the Heavenly Court!" she sighed. "Just thinking about dealing with that guy has kept me from eating and sleeping well all these years..."

"Fortunately, I now have my trusted confidant Feng Xi, who is resourceful and wise!" Houtu regained her joy and happiness. "With his abilities, he should be able to hold off Xi Huang."

"The Five Heavenly Emperors... Alas!"

"As expected, none of them are simple."

Houtu thought of Fengxi's background and shook her head with emotion.

Xuanming opened his mouth, his face filled with worry, and hesitated before speaking, "But, even with such an excellent secondary version of the Flame Emperor, he still lost to the Yellow Emperor... Sister Houtu..."

Instantly, Houtu's face fell.

Does she seem to be celebrating a little too soon?

……

Seven days have passed since Fengxi spoke with Houtu.

Seven days later, Kunlun Mountain has undergone tremendous changes.

—The manpower and resources promised by Houtu arrived one after another, and under Fengxi's command, they deployed their work to prepare for the Metropolitan Games.

At the same time, a powerful force in the Kunlun Mountains began to act.

This was made by Yu Chen.

He promised to provide Fengxi with some manpower, set up a platform, and connect with respectable tribes in the Kunlun Mountains... A whole bunch of tedious and boring tasks were taken care of by the powerful figure behind him with a casual remark.

Only then did Feng Xi realize something and discern some of the secrets behind Yu Chen.

Therefore, lately, he has been staring at Yu Chen with a strange look, which makes Yu Chen's scalp tingle.

"What does that look mean?" Yu Chen couldn't stand it any longer and simply asked directly.

"Hehe, it's nothing," Feng Xi chuckled. "Just pure surprise... I didn't expect you to have such a powerful background!"

"Are you surprised by this?" Yu Chen scoffed. "I don't think so!"

"You dared to dig a pit for the demon race, take the initiative to attack, and challenge the will of the Great Luo Heaven. You also have Houtu's favor behind you. Why would you care about the current Daoist sect?" Yu Chen curled his lips. "Even if I have a relationship with that person, it's not enough to make you surprised for so long."

"Besides, there's something wrong with the surprise in your eyes."

"I suspect you have insulted my character... although I have no proof!"

"Ahem." Feng Xi averted his gaze somewhat awkwardly. "I can't help it, it's purely out of curiosity... After all, it's quite surprising that the legendary hothead has such a lively and agile alternate account."

"You know it's just a legend, yet you still take it personally?" Yu Chen rolled her eyes. "You can just listen to that kind of thing without thinking about it."

"Eh... really?" Feng Xi's eyes darted around. "Then tell me, what's the deal with the Three Pure Ones brothers?"

He was in high spirits, his whole demeanor lively as he learned about the gossip of important figures for the first time. "Are they competing with each other, or do they dislike each other?"

"Were there any ideological clashes, with the Chan Sect criticizing and suppressing the Jie Sect?"

"Furthermore, did the Celestial Venerable Morality show favoritism or engage in fratricide?"

"And there's more..."

Feng Xi's questions bombarded Yu Chen like a machine gun, leaving him seeing stars.

His lips twitched, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light. "You'd better shut up!"

"Don't forget whose territory this is!"

"You can't just say things carelessly!"

"Believe it or not, the moment you step out the door, Lingbao Tianzun will be standing there!!"

The threat was blatant, but the effect was remarkable.

Feng Xi listlessly shut his mouth, no longer turning into a hundred thousand "whys".

"Oh...it's heartbreaking! So heartbreaking!" he sighed. "I'm investigating real history, trying to uncover the truth. How can you be so uncomprehending?"

"Hmph!" Yu Chen sneered, "I don't understand you at all!"

"Enough with the nonsense, have you raised the money yet?" He abruptly changed the subject. "You can use my connections to get Lingbao Tianzun to order his disciples and followers around. Even if you get a discount, you still have to pay him something."

"The money is naturally prepared," Feng Xi said. "It's special funds approved by Lady Houtu."

"Tsk!" Feng Xi clicked her tongue in amazement. "This is the first time I've ever heard of currency in this primordial world!"

"And that's quite a generous gesture!"

He sighed, then pulled out a huge box. After a series of verifications, he opened it, and a dazzling golden light almost blinded the two of them.

Feng Xi reached out and grabbed at the brilliant golden light, pulling out a bunch of round, flat objects.

Each disc has a portrait printed on one side and images or text engraved on the other side.

Upon closer inspection, the face of that portrait was none other than that of Houtu, the Ancestral Witch!

"Mysterious Yellow Merit Coins!"

Feng Xi shook her head, then shook it again. "Are these powerful beings really that good at playing games?"
