The Holy Path of the Primordial World Shines Brightly

Chapter 35 Ideal and Reality, Brother Yong

"How could that be?"

Dijiang chuckled at Nuwa's doubts, "I trust Fellow Daoist Nuwa's character the most."

"I am not saying that you should become a fickle and treacherous saint."

"My original intention was simply to hope that..." The Ancestral Witch said sincerely, "Fellow Daoist Nuwa can get rid of the factionalism brought about by her identity as a demon and look at the problem from an objective standpoint."

"The gates of my Witch Clan are always open to fellow Daoists, awaiting the day you join us."

"The demon race has not betrayed me, so how can I betray them?" Nuwa frowned. "The contract has been signed... As long as I remain the ruler of the demon race, I will surely protect those beings who have offered their loyalty."

Upon hearing these words, Dijiang's eyes sparkled, and he remained calm and composed.

He had seen loyal and upright people before.

However, with his silver tongue, there is no target he cannot expose as having distorted values ​​or being mentally deranged!

"Did Fellow Daoist Nuwa join the demon race for personal gain?" Di Jiang asked with a playful smile. "Or... for ideals?"

"I see that Fellow Daoist Nuwa is of impeccable moral character. Yet, because she made a prior agreement with the demon race, she refuses to cooperate with us in order to uphold her integrity. Surely she is a Great Luo Saint who has transcended base desires?"

Di Jiang smiled smugly, looking rather irritating. "So, the reason you joined the demon race must be related to your ideals!"

Nuwa opened her mouth, then closed it, then opened it again, then closed it again… repeating this cycle over and over, yet she couldn’t utter a single word.

At this moment, looking at Dijiang Zuwu's smile, she only wanted to throw a punch to vent her frustration.

Dijiang may or may not know Nuwa's thoughts... but that doesn't affect his speech much.

If the other side talks about interests, he'll talk about interests; if the other side talks about ideals, then he'll talk about ideals!

Once he seizes the opportunity, he can definitely outmaneuver the other party, leading them into a bottomless pit from which they can't even climb out, leaving them not only betrayed but also helping to count the money.

At this moment, Nuwa felt a heavy weight on her heart, and ultimately had no choice but to follow Dijiang's lead, saying, "Fellow Daoist is quite right..."

"I joined the demon race not because of the potential profits... but entirely because of my lofty ideals!"

Her expression was solemn and dignified, with countless divine halos shining behind her. "I want to build a beautiful world where all races can live in harmony!"

"Therefore, I joined the demon race and assumed the throne..." Nuwa's face was filled with compassionate pity. "The unity of all races created the demon race, and I am its ruler... I am confident that I can improve things from top to bottom and correct the tragic order of predation in the food chain of this era!"

"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, you are indeed compassionate and a true sage." Dijiang flattered her with a smile, then changed the subject, "What if one day you find that you have not been able to change anything... that the cancer has spread among the demon race and can never be eradicated?"

"The hope to reverse the tide of history lies in our witch clan. That loyalty to the demon race... is there still a reason for it to exist?"

Is the signed contract more important?

Or is it more important to pursue ideals and personal beliefs from the heart?

Nuwa looked at Dijiang, her eyes narrowing slightly.

Dijiang looked at Nuwa, his smile growing even more benevolent.

A subtle atmosphere lingered between the two.

Suddenly, Nuwa chuckled, breaking the deadlock, "Regardless of the circumstances, the Wu Clan has not yet demonstrated the ability to guide all living beings and races to prosperity and development."

"The demon race is a ready-made platform that is most suitable for me."

"I know." Dijiang nodded frankly. "So, we will use time and facts to prove it to the world."

"Please wait and see, Fellow Daoist Nuwa... And please, in the years to come, be able to judge from an objective standpoint—if your ideals still exist and have not been corrupted by interests." He said slowly, "At the same time, I also hope that we can put aside our differences and cooperate to a certain extent on the great cause of creating a beautiful prehistoric world."

"The war between the Lich Kings and the Lich Kings is certainly true, but who isn't a part of the primordial world?"

"it is good."

Nuwa felt she had nothing more to say.

In the end, all that could be used was the word "okay" to forcibly end the communication with Dijiang.

Having done all this, barely managing to keep her expression from crumbling, she immediately said, "I have urgent business to attend to and need to return to Phoenix Perch... so I'll take my leave now."

"We're on the same page, shall we work together?" Dijiang suggested.

"No, no, no... How can that be?" Nuwa repeatedly refused. "Our friends from the Wu tribe have come with such a grand procession. I must prepare a grand welcoming ceremony in accordance with etiquette."

"Therefore, please allow me to take my leave for now... We will meet again soon!"

After speaking, Nuwa bowed slightly and then urged the phoenix beneath her feet to move.

Amidst a dazzling innate light, the golden phoenix surged forward, surpassing the ceremonial procession of the witch clan, leaving Feng Xi with only its back view.

I wonder if it's just my imagination?

Feng Xi pondered that this compassionate, holy, and benevolent goddess Nuwa seemed to be fleeing in a rather disheveled and embarrassed manner.

Thinking of this, he admired Emperor Jiang, the Ancestral Witch, for he was truly eloquent and had driven away a supreme expert without firing a single shot!

Dijiang, however, seemed quite calm, as if this was nothing more than a trivial matter, something he had done countless times before and it was nothing to worry about.

"Fellow Daoist, you are truly capable."

Houtu Zuwu's chariot came from behind and arrived beside Dijiang.

This ancestral witch praised Dijiang in an inexplicable tone, "I think it won't be long before your name will shake the entire Demon Court."

"He slew the target Taiyi was trying to rescue, and with just a few words, he made Nuwa retreat... Such achievements are astonishing!"

"If we could achieve another victory against Dijun and Fuxi, the prestige of our Wu clan would greatly increase, earning the reverence of all the gods of the primordial world!"

"Eh... that's not how it works." Dijiang smiled faintly. "Taiyi suffered a loss because he underestimated my strength."

"And Nuwa? Though powerful and highly accomplished, well..."

"In some ways, she's still too inexperienced... no, too naive."

"These two, renowned for their combat prowess, suffered a setback due to a lack of strategy..." Di Jiang sighed with regret. "What if their opponents this time were Di Jun and Fu Xi?"

"Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!"

"Are you saying that Taiyi is inferior to Dijun? Nuwa is inferior to Fuxi?" Houtu's eyes darkened.

"That's right!" Dijiang nodded affirmatively. "There's a saying that goes, 'Your brother will always be your brother!'"

"Don't be fooled by the fact that Taiyi and Nuwa are even more powerful than their brothers."

"If you really throw them all into the most complicated situations, the ones who will live the best and have the last laugh will definitely be the two with the higher seniority!"

"oh."

Houtu said "Oh" and then fell silent.
