The primordial era began with the mythological age.

With Dijiang as the main figure, the twelve ancestral witches joined forces to refine a supreme treasure using the physical body of a Daoist who had attained enlightenment. It took them only ten thousand years to complete the refinement.

For the many deities and immortals watching, this was undoubtedly a grand feast.

Even Lady Ziguang, Dijun, Yuqing, Taiqing and others gained a lot from observing the process of refining the treasure.

The treasure that appeared was a pitch-black cauldron, but within it, boundless golden light surged forth. Inside, there seemed to be a world of witchcraft, where countless witches lived and worshipped their ancestors and the heavens.

"This is the Witchcraft Cauldron!"

After naming it, Dijiang immediately announced to all the heavens and the three realms of the primordial world: "I am the ancestral witch Dijiang, who has already attained the innate state of witchcraft. Today, I establish the witch religion to educate the world and use the witch cauldron to suppress the destiny."

"From this day forward, anyone with the right affinity may join the witchcraft sect and practice witchcraft!"

As soon as the words fell, the Daoist voice resounded throughout the world, and the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth trembled in response.

Immediately following this was an even larger manifestation of profound and illusory merit.

This scene astonished everyone inside and outside the hall.

This profound and miraculous merit was completely unexpected.

While establishing a religion can indeed bring merit, it is impossible to accumulate so much merit all at once.

Just as Taiyi Shi created the acquired godhood cultivation system, it needed to be spread in order to obtain Xuanhuang merit, while the Human Emperor of that time, with the approval of the gods, was able to obtain Xuanhuang merit without widespread dissemination.

Now that Emperor Jiang has established his religion, the teachings have not yet begun. The merits of Xuanhuang could not have been so numerous all at once, already surpassing the birth of the shamanistic religion.

At this moment, many immortals and gods in the hall couldn't help but look towards the Great Luo Heaven.

There is only one possibility right now: that the Heavenly Emperor Donghuang Taiyi has paid the merits of the Witchcraft Sect in advance!

Dijiang ignored the thoughts of the people in the hall. He collected the Xuanhuang merits but did not use them himself. Instead, he poured them all into the Wuding Cauldron that suppressed the fortune of the Wujiao sect, turning this treasure into a treasure of merits.

Subsequently, Dijiang handed the witch cauldron in his hand to Houtu, the ancestral witch.

Houtu, the ancestral witch, immediately took the witch's cauldron and raised it above her head.

The next moment, she chose to align herself with God and the Way!

In an instant, under the gaze of the Primordial Gods, Primordial Golden Immortals, Dao Gods, Quasi-Saints, Gods, and Golden Immortals, Houtu Ancestral Witch was engulfed by the dazzling Dao light.

At this moment, the vast Dao of Heaven and Earth began to impact Houtu Ancestral Witch's physical body and the gods within her.

At the same time, Houtu, the ancestral witch, formed the Returning to Origin Seal, unifying all the gods within her body to resist the impact of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

At that moment, the cauldron above her head erupted with brilliant Dao light, helping the Ancestral Witch Houtu withstand the impact of the Great Dao of the Primordial World, and even more Xuanhuang merit energy descended.

At this moment, Lady Ziguang, Taiqing, and the others all felt that as the Xuanhuang merit energy of the Wuding fell, the surging and violent Great Dao of the Primordial World suddenly calmed down.

Therefore, the originally terrifying tribulation of Dao transformation suddenly seemed not so terrible.

Dijiang laughed and said, "This can be described as achieving innate Dao Godhood through merit, achieving sainthood through merit!"

"I'm sure you fellow Daoists don't need me to explain the root cause."

Madam Ziguang and the others nodded in agreement.

How could they not know?

But where can such profound and virtuous deeds go?

Don't be fooled by the immense merits that the Witchcraft Cult has accumulated today, even if it comes at the cost of mortgaging the future.

Not everyone who establishes a religion can accumulate such immense merit.

After all, even if you're mortgaging the future, you still need to consider the prospects for the future.

The shamanistic religion has innate shamanistic principles and a shamanistic clan as its foundation, which is why it enjoys such treatment.

Those who understand this deeply have a profound understanding of the teachings of Jieyin and Zhunti.

At this moment, everyone in the hall had their own thoughts, and their eyes were all fixed on Houtu, the Ancestral Witch.

Everyone knows that Houtu Zuwu is the reincarnation of Houtu Niangniang, who established the cycle of reincarnation. She was already a Dao God of the Netherworld before. Now that she has taken another step forward, can she succeed Taihuang as the second innate Dao God of the Primordial World?

If it succeeds.

Then the Tu clan will become a benchmark for those who achieve the status of a primordial Dao god through merit.

If one can attain the same profound and virtuous merits as Houtu, one can merge with the Dao and become a saint, or cultivate into a primordial Dao god.

Time passed slowly, and a thousand years went by.

As the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth trembled, the Dao light that had enveloped the Ancestral Witch Houtu in the hall suddenly receded.

At this moment, everyone knew that the primordial world had gained another innate Dao God!

Lady Ziguang and the others offered their congratulations: "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Houtu!"

"Congratulations to the Goddess Houtu on achieving the status of a Primordial Dao God!"

After Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, handed the Witch Cauldron to Xuanming, the Ancestral Witch, she returned the greetings to Lady Ziguang and the others, and then invited everyone to sit down before expounding on the Great Dao.

This is to be expected.

However, this time, the ancestral witch Houtu's sermon ended after nine hundred years.

Because the Battlefield of Myriad Realms is about to open again.

After watching the many great shamans, as well as Gonggong and Zhurong, enter the battlefield of myriad realms, Houtu, the ancestral shaman, left the five internal organs gods to guard the ancestral shaman's palace, and then came to the Jade Emperor's Palace to merge with her primordial spirit and return to one.

After leaving behind another Fushi Poshen as the Jade Emperor, Houtu also came to the battlefield of myriad realms and entered the Taihuang Palace.

At this moment, Yi Di was also present. Upon seeing Hou Tu arrive, she quickly greeted her, saying, "Yi Di greets elder sister."

This was the first time that Yi Di and Hou Tu had met in front of Tai Yi since they established their relationship.

In terms of birth, the Yidi clan preceded the Houtu clan.

However, in terms of cultivation and spiritual attainment, Houtu was naturally superior.

However, seeing that Yi Di Shi took the initiative to lower her head, Hou Tu Shi also yielded and called Yi Di Shi "elder sister".

Taiyi watched from the side, not daring to interrupt, letting Houtu and Yidi handle it, lest they get burned.

A moment later, Houtu, as the elder sister, and Yidi, as the younger sister, sat down on either side of Taiyi.

Looking towards the battlefield of myriad realms, Houtu said, "The reincarnations of these Dao-proving beings are even stronger."

Taiyi laughed indifferently, "These people who have survived to this day are all outstanding figures from the Chaos Era."

"Give them time to let the old and new collide, and they will naturally reap great rewards."

Yi Di Shi asked, "Did the two Ancestral Witches, Qiang Liang and She Bi Shi, attain enlightenment too quickly?"

Taiyi laughed and said, "How can I protect them forever?"

"Furthermore, Zhen Yuanzi, Shangqing, Jieyin, Zhunti, as well as Fuxi and Nuwa, are no less than the reincarnations of those who have attained enlightenment."

"Don't worry, the Primordial World can still afford to lose."

Anyway, even if the Primordial World loses, it won't be divided up by those who have attained enlightenment.

Furthermore, now that Shennong has regained the memories of the Earthly Sovereign Yue Jian, there are not many who can surpass him within the same realm.

Then there's Lingyang, who seized the Great Dao of the Demon Ancestor of the Heart Demons, and using the human race as a starting point, transformed into billions of Heart Demons, making great progress in his cultivation and becoming extremely difficult to deal with.

Meanwhile, Shangqing, Jieyin, Zhunti, and others have all accumulated profound knowledge and skills, and are all capable of attaining enlightenment, no less than others.

Sure enough, without the presence of the powerful ancestral witches Qiangliang and Shebishi, as well as Julingshi, Shangqing and others shone brightly.

Furthermore, the performances of figures like Zhunti and Randeng have surpassed those of previously higher-ranked figures such as Styx Ancestor, Hongyun Ancestor, and Kunpeng Ancestor. (End of Chapter)
