The Holy Path of the Primordial World Shines Brightly

Chapter 60 The wickedness of human nature, the courteousness of the Emperor Xi

"The world is a difficult place, and people's hearts are treacherous!"

"There are always treacherous subjects trying to harm me!"

The emotions in her heart transformed into subtitles, constantly scrolling through Feng Xi's mind.

The prolonged period of time made it difficult for him to maintain his bright smile, and he teetered on the brink of collapse.

Now, at this very moment.

Feng Xi suddenly felt nostalgic for the time she spent in the Witch Clan's headquarters.

At that time, although the income was not much, it was almost like living on a fixed salary—doing the work assigned by the ancestral shamans and great shamans, and the remuneration was distributed according to the work done.

The more work you do, the more contribution points you get.

If you want more resources, you have to put in more effort.

However, its advantage lies in its stability and tranquility, without having to outwit or outmaneuver others.

Now, Feng Xi is unwilling to live an ordinary life and wants to make a fortune... He also seized the opportunity provided by the Dijiang Ancestral Witch by chance, and got off to a great start.

However, the eerie atmosphere of social hardship and the wickedness of human nature also began to entangle him!

Look at the people surrounded by Feng Xi!

How resourceful were they?

For the sake of Fengxi's newly established business alliance, everyone rushed to offer suggestions. In a very short time, they managed to pull the makeshift team onto a proper track and write down thousands of future development plans.

These plans outline detailed and comprehensive strategies for addressing almost every possible and impossible future, striving to expand this business alliance to the best of their ability.

Including but not limited to—

Now that the diplomatic mission has ended and we've returned to our base, how can we recruit new blood for the Witch Clan, diligently expand our influence, unite all the lesser Witches within the clan, and rally their support?

When the Lich Wars break out, whether it's a hot war or a cold war... how will the two camps manage to carry out clandestine smuggling operations during such a difficult time, given their mutual blockade?

……

Etc., etc.

Looking at the policies that had been passed by secret ballot, Feng Xi smiled "happily".

This is not your average "happiness".

Thanks to the meticulous planning of those hundreds of "talented individuals," the business alliance he single-handedly established may face a bumpy road ahead, but its future is certainly bright, with substantial profits!

—If Fengxi can maintain control until the end.

"If it weren't for the timely blessing from the Great Sage Fuxi..." His gaze was deep and unfathomable, "I might not even know how I fell from grace."

By viewing people through tinted glasses, Feng Xi saw a different world.

Thus, he saw through the sinister intentions behind the schemes that those hundreds of "talented people" had so enthusiastically offered!

"These are all traps!"

"Under the guise of doing what's best for the business alliance, under the guise of putting the entire force on the right track, and under the guise of better attracting talent in the future..."

He looked at the newly drawn-out rules and regulations and found them so glaringly offensive.

"For the long term, our alliance should be fair, just, and transparent..."

"Every shaman who joins us is part of our group and should be treated equally..."

"In order to motivate each member to contribute to the organization, we should reasonably calculate the contribution value of each member and prioritize the ranking of contribution values ​​when selecting positions."

Note: Contribution values ​​should be calculated based on a fixed time period.

"This can both motivate those who come after to strive for improvement and encourage those in positions of authority to avoid resting on their laurels and becoming complacent... making our alliance ever more prosperous!"

Each and every sentence, ostensibly for the good of the alliance, was, in Feng Xi's eyes, a barrage of malice directed at him.

"This is going to oust me from my current leadership position!" he sighed inwardly.

Fengxi's rise to prominence is entirely due to favorable circumstances, which provided its initial capital.

But what happens after this diplomatic journey is over?

If those alternate accounts behind the main accounts exert their influence and 'accidentally' reveal a tiny bit of benefit from it, giving the alternate accounts a massive boost to their contribution value in the league... they could crush Feng Xi's ranking in no time!

Don't think this is impossible.

Just look at the effect that a single peacock feather sent by Kong Xuan had.

Those alt accounts went out to run business, ostensibly because they were good at talking and brought in a big deal for the alliance... but who knows what kind of connections were at play behind the scenes?

"Poor Feng Xi, all alone and powerless... I have no one to rely on, I can only do everything by myself!"

"Venturing into this vast and desolate wilderness, even the slightest strong wind or wave could easily lead to the destruction of the ship and the loss of life."

Feng Xi was saddened, and also somewhat self-deprecating.

He once wondered—with the Merchant Alliance in hand and the Little Witches in tow, would he stir up trouble within the Witch Clan or even participate in the power struggle between the Ancestral Witches?

But now, the cold reality is telling him—you might be overthinking it!

Perhaps all the efforts and work he's doing now are for someone else!

Feng Xi thought of his past life and some history—the great uprisings of heroes throughout the dynasties, the great actions of shouting for the overthrow of the dynasty and changing the world, how many of them were the original initiators, yet they were able to reap the final fruits of victory?

They were all merely acting as vanguards for the king, paving the way for the true dragon!

It's true that the early bird catches the worm, but a gun will also shoot down the first bird to stick its head out.

Feng Xi sorted out some of her thoughts and saw clearly the difficulties and obstacles ahead.

Suddenly, he chuckled to himself, thinking of something amusing.

"Perhaps some other unfortunate individuals with extraordinary abilities have also suffered the same fate as me?"

Feng Xi recalled the information she knew.

In the last great eon, gods rose to power, but they were given the names of dragons and phoenixes.

"The Dragon Ancestor and the Phoenix Ancestor, the founders of two great powers!"

"But in the end, they all met a dismal end... while other deities feasted and became the big winners, ruling the market and enjoying themselves in this era."

"Perhaps back then, the leaders of the Dragon and Phoenix factions, faced with a mountain of internal strife—each innate deity either lining their own pockets or harboring rebellious intentions—were at their wits' end."

In the end, Rahu, the Demon Ancestor, easily took his head, while most of his "capable henchmen" were unharmed... This was probably not unexpected.

Looking back at history, there is nothing new under the sun, only recurring cycles.

Thinking this way, and constantly reassuring herself, Feng Xi calmed down.

"Even those with great supernatural powers have fallen, let alone me?"

"While my luck is on my side, I just need to amass a fortune of resources and rapidly increase my cultivation... As for the rest, we'll see how things unfold."

"This business alliance, with so many big and small accounts eagerly participating and eyeing the leadership positions... it might be a hot potato!"

Feng Xi vaguely sensed something was amiss and smelled danger.

Thinking about the possible conflict and power struggle between the ancestral witches... he had an epiphany.

This spot isn't exactly a comfortable one.

Now, there are hundreds of powerful and cunning agents who have come forward to openly spy on the situation, and countless more are hiding in the shadows, waiting for their turn to strike...

Many people want to compete for this position... Perhaps there's something crucial involved that he doesn't know about.

He, Feng Xi, this little witch with no powerful backing, would better be careful if he didn't want to choke to death while drinking water, choke to death while breathing in his vital energy, or accidentally fall and die while walking...

"Hopefully, those sockpuppet accounts of those supposedly powerful individuals won't be so unscrupulous in their greed..."

"If you want the position, you can buy it from me... Then I'll find a chance to auction it off. Wouldn't that be a win-win situation for everyone?"

"If I were to die unexpectedly, and I'm still alive..."

"Then I'll have to apologize!"

A cold glint flashed in Feng Xi's eyes. "Let's part ways!"

"Just go directly to the Ancestral Witches and request oversight, let the twelve masters intervene and take control... blow this dinner table up!"

……

With countless thoughts and plans, I pondered and schemed.

On the surface, Feng Xi nodded and nodded in approval of the plans submitted by the various scheming Da Luo alt accounts, but in reality, his mind was already wandering off somewhere else.

He was very worried about his future safety, but not at all about the current development of the alliance.

Although there are quite a few Grand Luo Immortals considering sacrificing him to the heavens, there are also many Grand Luo Immortals who are mutually restraining each other.

In fact, they paid far more attention to each other than to Feng Xi.

After all... what's there to care about for Feng Xi, an ordinary and innocent little witch?

If it weren't for a stroke of luck, I probably wouldn't even remember his name!

Ronaldo's only rival is another Ronaldo!

The same principle applies to smaller sizes!

They pay close attention to their own kind, almost to the point of needing a magnifying glass to examine any flaws... Under such circumstances, the plans they make are all very meticulous.

—To avoid being attacked and having one's head stepped on to rise to power.

With so many wise and insightful subordinates offering advice and strategies, Feng Xi has no worries about the development of the alliance.

Moreover, in the short term, he doesn't need to worry about being overturned... his position is still very stable.

Before completing his diplomatic journey, Feng Xi, as the person in charge of trade, was still deeply supported by the hundreds of thousands of small witches who were unaware of the perilous situation.

That's their money bag; they'll fight anyone who touches it!

The road ahead is uncertain...

Feng Xi approved the 1,372nd document, lowering his eyelids to conceal the cold glint in his eyes.

Suddenly, a tremor ran through his heart, startling him.

Then, he quickly turned around and looked at the supreme Taoist temple in Phoenix Perch Mountain.

There, divine bodies manifest, the Great Dao illuminates the heavens, and shakes the eight directions and six realms!

The representatives of the Lich and Demon races who were holding closed-door negotiations have come out!

They ended the meeting, which meant there was a result.

"What will the outcome be?" Feng Xi asked with some worry. "If the negotiations go well, it might postpone the outbreak of the great war by a hundred or two hundred thousand years... If the negotiations don't go well, it could greatly accelerate the war!"

As a sense of unease arose, he heard the voice of the Ancestral Witch Dijiang, "Empress Nuwa, Emperor Xi, it is settled. The future era will be an era of peace, an era of development..."

"That's only right!" Xi Huang laughed heartily. "May the friendship between our two races last forever!"

"Oh, right!"

The emperor, who had left Feng Xi with a kind and approachable impression, stretched out his hand and summoned a strange beast with black and white stripes. He then presented it to her, saying, "Distinguished guests have come to visit, and now that you are leaving, we should give you some special souvenirs."

"This strange beast was created by my younger sister through her comprehension of creation. Its color is simple yet contains the essence of Tao, and it has profoundly comprehended the principles of Yin and Yang. It is truly extraordinary."

"I am giving it to you... perhaps you can use it as a mount to travel the world. I hope you will not refuse it."
