The Holy Path of the Primordial World Shines Brightly

Chapter 80: Fulfilling the Initial Thoughts; Meeting the Earth Goddess!

After Chao Xi left, Sui Chu looked like he had successfully stolen a chicken, which made Feng Xi's heart pound.

His intuition told him that this might be a battle between two powerful sorcerers, low-level members of the Witch Clan, filled with countless terrifying schemes... and it seemed that someone had successfully achieved some kind of planned objective!

As for what that goal is?

Feng Xi said—

We don't know, and we dare not ask.

He even made an unprecedented effort to minimize his presence, and his "invisibility" supernatural powers were almost fully realized.

After all, even the slightest bit of information leaked from the conversation between the two "geniuses" could shake the entire prehistoric world, something that Feng Xi could not afford to bear at the moment!

"I know nothing... I know nothing..."

Feng Xi was seriously hypnotizing herself, and just when she was about to succeed, Sui Chu, who exuded the aura of a big boss, walked over.

"You heard it all, didn't you? You heard it very clearly, didn't you?"

Sui Chu smiled and waved, and the torch in Feng Xi's hand was returned to its rightful owner.

"Uh—" Feng Xi tried to struggle, forcing a smile that looked worse than a grimace. "No, no, I didn't hear anything..."

"Oh?" Sui Chu drawled out his words.

"Really...you have to believe me!" Feng Xi said, trying to save herself. "I don't know when it started, but I contracted a disease—"

Selective deafness!

Sometimes I can hear people talking, and sometimes I can't... I'm really frustrated about it!

"Is that so?" Sui Chu seemed to believe Feng Xi's absurd statement and was happy to offer advice, "If you're sick, then you should get treatment."

"I know that there is a very good shaman at the Qiangliang Ancestral Witch's place..." Sui Chu pondered for a moment, "He is proficient in lightning-based supernatural powers and has his own methods for treating patients with diseases involving the nerves of the head..."

He stated that there's nothing a single lightning bolt can't solve... and if there is, then two bolts will do the trick!

"Would you like to go there and take a look?" Sui Chu asked sincerely.

"Gulp!" Feng Xi swallowed hard. "Forget it... How can I waste that witch doctor's time with a symptom that's hardly a serious illness?"

"Let me recuperate for a while, and maybe I'll recover without any medicine... So, there's really no need for you to worry, fellow Daoist."

"Is that so?" Sui Chu raised an eyebrow, then sighed, seemingly disappointed. "Since you insist, let's put this issue aside for now."

"However, something else..."

"No problem!" Feng Xi patted his chest and boasted before he could finish speaking, "Isn't it just arranging for people to join the business alliance? That's easy!"

"Okay." Sui Chu was very satisfied and took out a list. "These are the people on the list... Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you."

"These individuals have already joined the merchant alliance with numerous trading channels... They have certainly made some contributions."

"Although the whole process was a bit rushed, it was completely reasonable in terms of procedure."

"Okay, okay, okay!" Feng Xi took the list.

As expected, he saw some very familiar names on it.

People like Feng Xi, Qing Hao, and Mi Xi... without a doubt, they are all in cahoots with Sui Chu.

The Great Fuxi Alliance, may its glory last forever!

No sooner had they "fallen" and their senior executives were removed from their positions than they were resurrected and relisted under the guise of a business alliance!

This made Feng Xi somewhat suspicious.

Was the abolition of the Great Fuxi Clan Alliance something that was already anticipated by some terrifying force behind the scenes?

So here's the question...

Did Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, lose in the process of dismantling this organization? Or did she lose?

Feng Xi touched the miniature Houtu on her forehead, not daring to think any further.

However, his actions caught Sui Chu's attention.

The shaman who was passing on the fire looked at the tattoo and smiled knowingly. "Tsk... I'm quite surprised that you've lost all your integrity by tattooing Houtu between your eyebrows."

"Such diligent licking... Sigh, as people often say, 'Simps never get a good death!'"

"Can you call that the way you treat your superiors sycophantic?" Feng Xi tried to defend herself, "That's called respect! That's called worship!"

"Making your boss happy is what a qualified subordinate should do!"

Feng Xi may not be able to apply grand principles.

He has a whole repertoire of fallacies.

"Heh..." Sui Chu chuckled lightly, "Zhao Yiyi, a mere minor witch from the Houtu tribe, how would the Ancestral Witch know who you are?"

"No matter how much you lick normally, it's all for nothing."

"However..." Sui Chu said meaningfully, "You're lucky, you just happened to come across a golden age for simps."

"After all, someone needs to take over—to take over the burden of a certain king."

"Even though once it's no longer useful and the danger period has passed, it'll just be kicked aside..."

"But it's also a great opportunity for advancement!" Sui Chu, torch in hand, leisurely turned and headed towards the Zhu Rong tribe. "So, little one, go and do your best!"

"I hope that one day I will see a completely new you..."

"Why are you telling me all this?" Feng Xi pondered for a moment, then looked up at Sui Chu's back and shouted out in question.

"Don't you think this is interesting?"

Sui Chu laughed loudly and asked in return, "In the primordial world, during the great calamity of the Lich King, it was a game where friend and foe were indistinguishable, and each player harbored treacherous intentions and their own hidden agendas..."

"The Five Heavenly Emperors want to wipe out the entire field... They are the most powerful, but also the most vulnerable."

"They lurk in the shadows, hunting down the stumbling blocks that prevent them from reaching the summit."

"But once they come out into the open, they accompany others to search for the true forms of the Five Emperors... The key is that they don't know each other, so they might accidentally kill their own teammates."

"This is a game called 'Emperor's Slaughter'!"

Was it the Five Heavenly Emperors who were all kicked out first?

Or was it that after the fall of the Lich and Demon races, the Five Heavenly Emperors reaped the final spoils of victory?

No one will know until the very end.

"But that's not exciting enough!"

As Sui Chu walked further and further away, her voice grew increasingly faint, "I'll add a little more difficulty for both sides... I'm really curious to know just how interesting this will be!"

Feng Xi was stunned and speechless.

After a long while, when Sui Chu's figure had disappeared from sight, he slowly uttered a sentence.

"Is this... this is what they mean by 'the more the merrier'?"

"This is outrageous!"

"The entire primordial world is likely to descend into chaos ahead of schedule..."

Feng Xi was somewhat worried, yet also full of hope for the future.

If this era doesn't descend into chaos, where will he find the opportunity for promotion?

After all, those players at the top might not want to see newcomers join the game.

Only when they are all too busy to take care of themselves can there be a glimmer of hope for the underprivileged.

"Sigh..." Feng Xi sighed, "Even though I know this guy has ill intentions, I still have no choice but to follow his lead."

He shook his head, took out the list given to him by Sui Chu, opened his own intelligent auxiliary device, and remotely handled the business alliance's official business, carrying out the largest and last personnel reshuffle.

Once he reaches Houtu Zuwu, he probably won't have that right anymore.

After a long while, Feng Xi wearily shut down the equipment and embarked on the road he had originally planned.

"Houtu Temple, here I come!"

……

In the Temple of Houtu, Fengxi saw the sacred, great, and flawless Ancestral Witch Houtu.

On the table in front of this ancestral witch were books and jade slips, and occasionally there were scattered pieces of paper with many words written on them.

She seems to be making some long-term plans.

She only came out of that state after Feng Xi came in.

She raised her head slightly and glanced at Feng Xi.

That one glance felt like eternity.

Houtu looked at Fengxi's forehead, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.

She seemed to really want to laugh out loud, but considering her status, she restrained herself.

He rested his chin on his hand, looking her up and down with interest. "Feng Xi?"

"exist!"

Feng Xi straightened his chest, making the miniature Houtu on his forehead even brighter.

————————This is a little skit that's not really related to the main text———————

System voice announcement: "Welcome to the prehistoric version of the massive 3,000-player werewolf game - Heavenly Emperor Kill. Please take your positions and check your true identities."

System: "Please note that this is a modified version of the game. Each player may have two or more different identities. Please select your primary and secondary identities and determine your faction."

System: "Identity verification complete. Countdown begins. Three, two, one... Game begins!"

System: "It's dark, please close your eyes. Werewolves, please move out."

System: "Which player have you decided to eliminate?"

System: "Witches, please act... Will you save them? Will you use poison?"

System: "Prophet, please open your eyes. Which player's identity do you want to verify?"

System: "It's dawn. Last night was Christmas Eve."

System: "Player number one, Fuxi, please speak."

Fuxi, the number one player: "Ahem, good morning everyone... Oh no, the system is malfunctioning! Where did one of my identity tokens go?!"

Nuwa (position two): "Oh wow? Covered in wolf fur!"

Number 11, Di Jun: "Oh... the Azure Emperor of the Five Directions? I understand, I understand."

Taiyi, number 12: "Xihuang...you have betrayed our side!"

Morality in position six: "Wait... I was AFK for a bit, did something happen?"

Primordial Seven: "Same as above!"

Eighth-position spirit treasure: "Same as above!"

The seventeenth guide said, "Fuxi, don't worry, I didn't see anything."

Razer, position 21: "Add one."

……

The game was a lot of fun for a while.

Fuxi, the number one (his face darkening further): "What are you laughing at? The Azure Emperor is just one of my identities!"

"As a top-tier player, I have several identities... The Azure Emperor isn't my main identity, so I won't be too bothered if I lose it!"

Nuwa (smiling) in position two: "Oh? Is that so?"

Fuxi, the number one: "Ahem... Even if the Azure Emperor is going to die, could you at least spare me until the end?"

Number Nine, the Golden Mother (nodding vigorously): "Understood, understood!"

Styx (position 4): "We've known each other for a while, so I can fulfill your request."

Number 13, Zu Long (frowning): "Isn't that too dangerous? The carry is a veteran player... the Challenger from last season! If we really keep him until the end, I'm afraid something might happen!"

Fuxi, the number one (slamming his fist on the table): "Zu Long, if you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!"

Fuxi, in position one (loudly): "Everyone, please don't vote for me... or you'll regret it!"

Nuwa in position two (puzzlingly): "Why?"

Fuxi, in position one (speaking loudly): "Because of my identity as the Lord, I am the only true prophet in the entire arena!"

Fuxi, the number one figure (smugly): "Without my help as a prophet, how could you have found the remaining four Heavenly Emperors? You must understand, this game isn't simply over by kicking out the five Heavenly Emperors!"

Fuxi, the number one player: "It still requires a clash between the two major factions, the Lich and the Demon, before the final curtain falls and all players' identities are verified... During this long process, if other players find an opportunity, it's possible for them to jump from the position of Human King to the position of Heavenly Emperor!"

Fuxi, the number one: "Moreover, if the Wu Clan wants to win, they must join forces with the Human Clan... that's their foundation! They need to utilize the Human King on one hand, and be wary of him silently changing his identity in the process—you all need me!"

Nuwa (in the second position, hesitating): "That makes sense... but to say you're a prophet? I don't believe it."

Nuwa in position two (looking at the entire audience): "Anyone here who wants to play the Seer? Step forward boldly."

No one spoke; the entire room was silent.

Hongjun, in position three: "Since no one is coming out, let Fuxi lead the team for now... By the way, report on the killings last night."

Fuxi, the first position: "Alright... Last night I checked the sixteenth position—Hongyun!"

Fuxi, in position one (raising his voice): "Although he had a lot of identity cards, I didn't get to see them all... but at the last moment I saw a suspicious color, it looked like a card belonging to the Yellow Emperor!"

Hongyun, number sixteen (standing up): "Nonsense... How could I be the Yellow Emperor? I'm just a Great Supernatural Being Card, where did this Heavenly Emperor Card come from?"

Number 13, Zu Long: "That's not necessarily true... anything is possible!"

Hongjun, the third in command: "You think you're innocent? Do you have a divine position? If not, you're just an ordinary Great Supernatural Being... It doesn't really matter if you vote for it."

Hongyun, number sixteen: "I'm so angry..."

Hongjun (slamming his hand on the table): "Alright... if no other prophet reports a kill, then let's listen to Fuxi for now."

Nuwa (in the second position, solemnly): "Yes! So everyone, let's vote together to execute Hongyun."
