Jiang Chen frowned; he felt an immense pressure weighing down on the Immortal-Sealing Nine Sealing Formation.
Even before the two sides fully mobilized their origins, he already felt the strain.
If there was truly no other way, he wouldn't care about those two shameless saints from the West; he would push himself to the limit, striving to eliminate any threat in a single battle!
But, at the very center of the battlefield, was Hou Tu!
His younger sister, who had followed him for a hundred years, always calling him Big Brother!
"I finally understand..." Hou Tu stood in the center of the quasi-saint battlefield, not feeling the slightest discomfort from the powerful killing intent that enveloped her.
She murmured softly, her voice remarkably calm amidst the Primordial World that was on the verge of complete collapse.
Like a small boat amidst surging waves.
Seemingly about to be swept into the seabed at any moment, becoming wreckage.
Yet, she remained unmoving, like the steadfast mountain peak that stands firm no matter how strong the wind.
At this moment, Hou Tu only thought: "In the next life, if you believe, it exists; if you don't, it doesn't!"
"But, that's my dearest Big Brother!!!"
Immediately after, Hou Tu suddenly opened her eyes!
Instantly, the Primordial World changed color, and myriad stars instantly enveloped the entire Human Clan Forbidden Zone.
The boundless Chaotic Sea also churned along with it.
"Whether there is a next life or not in this world, it matters not!"
"There are many departed souls in the world, and the Nine Netherworld is incomplete."
"In the Primordial World, time and again, bones pile up like mountains, blood flows like oceans, flesh turns to mud, ruins are everywhere, and ghostly spirits drift about!"
"I, in the name of Hou Tu, shall establish the past, present, and future!"
"I make a solemn vow to Heaven and Earth, willing to sacrifice myself to become the Six Paths of Reincarnation, to fulfill the duty of the Netherworld, and to appease the grievances of all spirits!"
"Once the Six Paths are established, all spirits shall live in peace!"
"Six Paths of Reincarnation, appear!"
"Earth Dao! Emerge!!!"
Hou Tu manifested reincarnation with her own body, forging the Six Paths of Reincarnation!
Opening the last of the Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos, the Earth Dao!
That supreme sound, like the wondrous voice of a saint, became the sole sound in Heaven and Earth.
It echoed from ancient times, a long, drawn-out cry, as if it had passed through countless years, possessing the supreme power of time's flow!
Upon hearing this, the Ancestral Witches were alarmed and cried out anxiously: "Little Sister!!! Nooooo..."
Alas, once those words were spoken, everything was too late!
Streaks of golden light had already descended from the sky, landing before Hou Tu!
In that instant, Demon Race Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi, who were close by, all bled on the spot!
They could not approach even half a step!
Hou Tu's plain clothes fluttered, her body like the most sacred spirit in Heaven and Earth, continuously dancing above the Human Clan Forbidden Zone, beneath the sky-covering canopy of the Hongmeng Enlightenment Immortal Tree!
Six golden lights, Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Hou Tu's face was exquisitely beautiful, peerlessly enchanting, beyond words to describe.
Tears streamed from her eyes.
She finally saw...
Jiang Chen, dressed in plain clothes, standing beneath the Hongmeng Enlightenment Immortal Tree.
She finally saw that Jiang Chen was safe and sound, and even if she were to be eternally suppressed within the Six Paths of Reincarnation, she would be content.
"Big Brother..."
Hou Tu's eyes were clear as she made eighteen grand vows to the Great Dao!
Her future was boundless, and her eyes were filled with compassion.
And also with endless regret.
A thousand years of traveling together, a hundred years of companionship, almost as if they were intertwined, each within the other.
Hou Tu's transformation into the Six Paths of Reincarnation brought immeasurable merit from the Great Dao!
However, the chain reaction her action would cause was immense.
For the entire Witch Clan, one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches was about to be lost!
The Twelve Divine Demonic Pillars Formation, which the Witch Clan relied on to survive and fight against the Demon Race, immediately lost its soul, becoming even inferior to some killing formations born from Congenital immortal spirit treasures.
Without Hou Tu's central Wutu, the Twelve Divine Demonic Pillars Formation, facing the killing formation constructed from the Demon Race's River Diagram Luo Writing, was undoubtedly like paper, completely without any threat.
"Big Brothers, Xuan Ming, I'm sorry... Little Sister has found the meaning of her existence, but she can no longer do other things for the Witch Clan."
At her last moments, Hou Tu looked towards the other eleven Ancestral Witches.
She was very sad, extremely reluctant.
Di Jiang flapped his six enormous wings; each pair of wings could tear through endless space.
However, he was less than a hundred thousand miles from Hou Tu, yet he could not approach even a single step!
The remaining Ancestral Witches all felt it in their hearts, and all trembled!
That desolate, sorrowful emotion almost suffocated them.
Especially Xuan Ming, her relationship with Hou Tu was the best; as the only other female among the Ancestral Witches, they were once extremely close, and she was the most protective of Hou Tu among the eleven Ancestral Witches.
"A quasi-saint, how could she cry!"
Xuan Ming's eyes welled up with tears, and tears actually fell!
She was a Witch Clan quasi-saint!
When had she ever cried!
Now, Hou Tu was about to suppress herself in the Six Paths, completely isolated from the Primordial World, unable to reappear.
The eleven Ancestral Witches were all heartbroken.
But... within that Human Clan Forbidden Zone, beside the countless burial mounds, countless undissipated spirits, remnant souls, and ghostly specters all transformed into streaks of light.
On the Witch-Demon battlefield, all living beings who had died in battle, all undissipated imprints of living beings in the Primordial World, whether they became lone ghosts or imprints of the Dao, or immortal spirit bodies.
They were going to enter reincarnation!
They were liberated, about to shed their 戾氣.
Human Ancestral Land.
Shennong, Sui Ren Shi, Xuanyuan, and many other human sages, seeing the souls of the dead who had tragically perished on the human land now having a destination.
And feeling the Earth Mother's impending transformation into the Six Paths today, they were all deeply grieved, and cried out: "Hou Tu is merciful!"
Above the Human Ancestral Land.
Jiang Chen's thoughts soared.
He met the gaze of the plain-clothed figure in the sky.
Was such a beautiful face truly going to dissipate in the Primordial World?
"There must be a way!!!"
Jiang Chen refused to believe it!
Hou Tu's enlightenment of reincarnation from the book meant there must be a grand trend that would allow him to change the outcome!
Crack!
In that instant, Jiang Chen only felt a massive wave of Great Dao merit completely wash away the great karma within his body!
Bang!
Great Luo Golden Immortal!
He broke through!
But Jiang Chen felt no joy!
"Ding dong! Congratulations to Hou Tu for reading [One Leaf Covers the Sky] and comprehending the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward feedback: Six Paths of Reincarnation Grinding Disc!"
"Ding dong! One billion humans in the Human Clan Forbidden Zone read [One Leaf Covers the Sky]. Congratulations to the host for obtaining one billion reading points!"
"One hundred times increase!!!"
Jiang Chen did not hesitate!
"Ding dong! Consuming one hundred million reading points, congratulations to the host for upgrading [Six Paths of Reincarnation Grinding Disc] to [Great Dao Reincarnation Grinding Disc]!"
Everything, truly, was predetermined in the dark!
Jiang Chen finally understood at this moment
It's just that this destiny is not determined by the Heavenly Dao, not by Humanity, not by the Great Dao...
It is determined by Jiang Chen!
Houtu comprehended the Six Paths of Reincarnation through the rules in the book.
Then Jiang Chen obtained the Six Paths of Reincarnation Grinding Disc, and he could take its place! He would suppress the Six Paths of Reincarnation in her stead!
Above the Human Clan Forbidden Zone, Houtu's body slowly dissipated.
She fixed her last gaze on Jiang Chen, tears dripping into the Sea of Blood, which gradually became clear from its turbidity!
Houtu said reluctantly, "Brother, although Houtu has transformed into the Six Paths today, my heart will forever remain in Honghuang."
"If there truly are two similar flowers in this world, Houtu hopes that in the future, a flower similar to me can always accompany Brother… You are still like a youth, and I am still like a dear relative."
Jiang Chen's heart trembled upon hearing this, but the next moment, he revealed a doting smile and said, "Sister, the heavens and earth all know your pure kindness. You opened reincarnation for all living beings. How can this elder brother allow you to fall into the Six Paths of Reincarnation for all eternity?"
Saying that, a thing suddenly appeared in Jiang Chen's hand!
It was a stone grinding disc! The Great Dao Reincarnation Grinding Disc!
Jiang Chen threw it onto the Six Paths of Reincarnation Sea of Blood with one hand!
It replaced the karma of Houtu, who was about to suppress the Six Paths with her own body!
Jiang Chen shouted wildly, "I, the Lord of Humanity! In the name of the Human Emperor! Will eternally suppress the Six Paths of Reincarnation with the Great Dao Reincarnation Grinding Disc! May all the Great Daos in the heavens bear witness!"
"Break!" With a shout, the Six Paths of Reincarnation above the Sea of Blood burst forth with infinite light.
Chapter 62: Breaking Destiny, Saints Emerge [Begging for Subscription]
"I, the Lord of Humanity! In the name of the Human Emperor!"
"Will eternally suppress the Six Paths of Reincarnation with the Great Dao Reincarnation Grinding Disc!"
"May all the Great Daos in the heavens bear witness!"
"Suppress!"
Jiang Chen stood tall and composed, his resolute face showing boundless favoritism.
A thousand years of walking side by side, a hundred years of wandering in the book.
Those countless times of life and death, those repeated declarations of being dear siblings.
Made it impossible for him to watch Houtu be eternally suppressed into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, unable to step onto Honghuang again!
Above the Human Clan Forbidden Zone, Houtu's dissipating figure instantly coalesced.
The imagined transformation into reincarnation did not occur.
"Am I... still here?" Houtu gazed at her coalescing body in a daze.
Immediately after, Jiang Chen's grand voice continuously echoed in her ears.
"I, the Lord of Humanity! In the name of the Human Emperor!"
"Will eternally suppress the Six Paths of Reincarnation with the Great Dao Reincarnation Grinding Disc!"
"May all the Great Daos in the heavens bear witness!"
"Suppress!"
Those syllables transcended all the Great Daos in the heavens, spanned life and death, and surpassed everything.
Like the most primal roar at the creation of the Primordial World.
It shocked Houtu.
"Brother!!!"
The only thing she could be sure of was that she was still alive!
She was truly still alive, not having transformed into reincarnation, but replaced by something else!
It was Jiang Chen who saved her at the last moment, replacing her from the Six Paths of Reincarnation, so she wouldn't need to suppress the Six Paths with her own body, yet the Six Paths of Reincarnation could still operate!
From now on, she could still walk freely in the Primordial World.
"Little Sister!!!" Xuanming and the other Ancestral Witches were overjoyed to see that Houtu had not perished.
One by one, they stepped forward, wanting to catch up with Houtu, having too many words they hadn't had the chance to say.
Until the moment before Jiang Chen made his move, they found it hard to accept that Houtu was about to leave them just like that.
She was clearly the kindest person in the world, yet she faced the tragic fate of transforming into reincarnation and eternally suppressing the path of reincarnation.
Who could accept that?
"Little Sister!" Dijiang, Zhurong, Gonggong, Qiangliang, Xuanming... One after another, the Ancestral Witches at this moment no longer wanted to fight Di Jun and the others from the Demon Race.
The Witch Race and the Demon Race shared a battlefield, and for tens of thousands of years, this was the first time they had completely disregarded the presence of the other side's supreme experts.
They ignored each other.
"Brother!"
Houtu's eyes were filled with tears.
Through her great sacrifice and great compassion, she transformed into the Six Paths and gave birth to a Nascent Soul!
Her perception in her heart became even deeper, and her emotions became more complex.
Dressed in plain white, she floated down gracefully.
"Little Sister!" Dijiang, Xuanming, and the other Ancestral Witches were all delighted.
She was alive, and there was no better news than that.
However, just as Xuanming and the other Ancestral Witches were but a short distance from Houtu.
Houtu passed by the eleven Ancestral Witches' massive bodies.
She actually directly entered the Immortal-Sealing Nine Sealing Formation and rushed straight into Jiang Chen on Shouyang Mountain.
They embraced tightly, just like the scene of only the two of them under the Hongmeng Enlightenment Immortal Tree on the lonely mountain peak for a hundred years.
The massive bodies of the eleven Ancestral Witches hovering above the Human Clan Forbidden Zone stiffened, as if petrified.
What about the joy of reuniting with their brothers?
What about the sibling affection?
Good heavens, Houtu actually left them to find another man?
And he was a human!
However, Houtu didn't care what her brothers were thinking.
She transformed into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, creating a place for the dead souls and ghosts in the Primordial World to change their fate.
It was also to find Jiang Chen.
At this moment, a warm body, genuine emotions.
Houtu looked up, her pure, flawless eyes brimming with tears, seemingly holding a different kind of emotion, a different kind of feeling.
"I finally found you, Brother, don't leave your little sister alone again..."
She almost instinctively believed that she was now an individual, not a Witch Race body.
Her enlightenment under the Hongmeng Enlightenment Immortal Tree had completely intertwined the hundred years of solitude from the book with her Nascent Soul, making it impossible to separate.
It was the most profound memory, even more profound than her tens of thousands of years of existence since her birth.
It was branded in her Nascent Soul!
A soft chord in Jiang Chen's heart was touched.
Fortunately... he had this opportunity to act.
Fortunately, he had the ability to stop it.
And fortunately, Houtu returned.
He quietly looked at Houtu's beautiful face, which was flushed but no longer obscured by chaotic mist.
"Thank you, Human Emperor, for protecting the Human Race! Thank you, Earth Mother, for your compassion for the world!" Chang Ge roared, extremely loud and grand.
Immediately after, under the grand and ancient Enlightenment Immortal Tree, hundreds of millions of humans all shouted in unison!
"Thank you, Human Emperor, for protecting the Human Race! Thank you, Earth Mother, for your compassion for the world!"
"Thank you, Human Emperor! Thank you, Earth Mother!"
The sound shook the nine heavens, and the momentum shattered mountains and rivers.
The leaves of the ancient Enlightenment Immortal Tree fluttered, and in their rustling, Dao patterns and rules intertwined.
Houtu, transforming into the Six Paths, should have perished here.
That was the destiny Houtu had sensed before.
It was a matter of fate.
And it was Houtu's ultimate ending
However, Jiang Chen could not bear to see his sister, who had been searching for him, endure a century of loneliness only to meet such an end.
He ultimately went against the Heavenly Dao.
And because of this, the Heavenly Dao began to rage!
And it was even more impossible for the Heavenly Dao Saints to tolerate someone relying on such merit to ascend to Saint strength without any cost.
Therefore, above the Primordial World's Sea of Blood, even Minghe was startled.
Six paths of brilliant, world-destroying light continuously flickered.
Demon Race Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi, seeing this, had originally worried that Houtu, having revived in the Primordial World through an alternative method of attaining the Dao, would bring them endless threats.
But now, they no longer worried at all!
Because a Heavenly Dao Tribulation was gathering!
"Heh heh, what if she attained the Dao through an alternative method? Even Saints fear the Heavenly Punishment!"
Dijun coldly snorted in a low voice.
Rumble! ~~~
Beyond the heavens, clouds rolled!
In an instant, purple qi surged for hundreds of millions of miles!
After a thousand years, Taishang Laozi reappeared above the Human Clan's Shouyang Mountain.
This time, his face was utterly calm, showing neither joy nor sorrow.
He gazed at Jiang Chen, who held the Hongmeng Enlightenment Immortal Tree.
His voice descended from the Nine Heavens, pressuring the present world, and he said, "Jiang Chen! Since you are already the Lord of Humanity, how dare you challenge the Heavenly Dao's predetermined fate! Going against the heavens!"
Taiqing had actually appeared!
The appearance of this Saint shocked and horrified all living beings in the entire world!
Even if his cultivation was diminished by the Heavenly Dao a thousand years ago, being able to stand in the Saint realm still meant looking down upon all living beings as Ant.
Moreover, the karma between Taiqing Saint and the Human Emperor was truly too deep!
Although most of the karma was severed a thousand years ago, the hundreds of millions of living beings present, upon seeing Taiqing Saint, still felt that he was an insurmountable chasm!
The Western Two Sages raised their eyebrows, their expressions somewhat restrained.
They felt that a major change was likely to occur today.
Originally, they had only intended to release the ten Golden Crows of the Demon Race, initiating the conflict between the Demon Race and the Human Clan in the Primordial World.
Ultimately, they wanted the Human Clan to seek their help at the brink of extermination.
But they never expected the Witch Clan to be drawn in, directly igniting the great war between the Witch and Demon Clans.
Furthermore, Houtu suddenly comprehended the opportunity to attain the Dao, transforming herself into the Six Paths.
They had originally thought that the ultimate victor of this scheme would be Houtu.
But the changes continued to unfold.
Jiang Chen, as the Lord of Humanity, directly altered the Heavenly Dao's predetermined fate.
He used the terrifying Great Dao Reincarnation Grinding Disc to replace Houtu!
And the final result was the Heavenly Dao's rage, which even drew Taiqing to descend.
Moreover, the Two Sages of the West could guarantee that Taiqing was not the only Saint who had arrived!
As expected, at the pinnacle of the firmament.
The Sect Master of the Heavenly Heavens, neither hurried nor slow, wore a purple-red Daoist robe.
He sat upon a Kui Niu, with four swords strapped to his back.
Above the Sea of Blood, and above the Human Clan Forbidden Zone, dazzling golden light radiated!
In fact, at the Saint level, a single thought could manifest a Dharma body anywhere in the Primordial World.
The Sect Master of the Heavenly Heavens, utterly unrestrained, said, "I was born when Pangu opened the heavens, and received my inheritance in Zixiao Palace. The four swords of zhuxian slay immortal gods, and the Sect Master of the Heavenly Heavens's Jiejiao speaks of Qiankun!"
Another person, also one of the Three Pure Ones, Yuanshi, was drawn over.
The Sect Master of the Heavenly Heavens's avatar was here, his Saintly face invisible, but the Saintly wondrous sound was heard.
He looked at Taiqing Saint and Yuanshi Saint, greeting them first.
"Two Senior Brothers, it's been a thousand years, how have you been recently?"
Among the Three Pure Ones, though their fate to become Saints was severed, their affection remained.
They greeted each other: "Junior Brother…"
Immediately after, the Three Pure Ones looked towards the chaos of the Heavenly Heavens.
The Western Two Sages knew they could no longer hide behind the scenes, so they walked out openly.
Although the Two Sages of the West had no fate or affection with the Three Pure Ones, nominally, they were still disciples of Dao Ancestor Hongjun after all.
So they stepped forward and called out, "Greetings, Three Pure Ones Senior Brothers!"
The seven Great Saints of the Primordial World, with the exception of Nüwa, including Houtu, were all present.
Strictly speaking, Houtu could only be considered to have attained the Dao through an alternative method; she now possessed Saintly merit, but she did not possess Saintly cultivation when moving about in the Primordial World.
It was only within the Six Paths of Reincarnation, within the Dao of Earth, that she could manifest Saintly power!
Among the Three Pure Ones, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Heavens glanced at the Western Two Sages.
He laughed loudly and said, "All of you Senior Brothers, gathered here, it's truly a rare occasion."
"I just don't know what matter requires all of you to appear together? The Heavenly Dao has its predetermined fate, the Great Dao has fifty, the Heavenly Evolution has forty-nine, but one can be escaped…"
The Sect Master of the Heavenly Heavens was in high spirits and extremely unrestrained.
He had not come this time because the Heavenly Dao had sent down Heavenly Punishment to chastise Houtu.
On the contrary, he believed that everything had its reason; since the Great Dao of fifty could escape one, everything that occurred naturally had its outcome.
Taiqing's expression was composed, and he said, "Junior Brother, Jiang Chen, as the Lord of Humanity and the Human Emperor, today violated the Heavenly Dao's predetermined fate by saving Houtu, causing even the Heavenly Dao to be shaken."
Yuanshi pursed his lips and said softly, "Sect Master of the Heavenly Heavens! Your departure from the mountain gate this time, I'm afraid you're not on the same side as us, are you?"
Chapter 63: Saint's Face, Two Sages of the West's Thoughts [Begging for Subscriptions]
Five Heavenly Dao Saints emerged together!
This was a major event capable of disturbing the entire Primordial World!
In the past, a single Saint was enough to pressure the entire Primordial World; now, let alone Five Heavenly Dao Saints.
And there was also an alternative Saint, Houtu!
The Five Heavenly Dao Saints stood side by side above the Human Clan Forbidden Zone.
There seemed to be a disagreement.
The main parties to the disagreement were the Sect Master of the Heavenly Heavens and the other four Saints.
The Great Dao has fifty, the Heavenly Evolution has forty-nine, and one can be escaped!
This was the crucial point of disagreement between the Sect Master of the Heavenly Heavens and the others.
And the few Saints who came here were naturally not as Taiqing and Yuanshi had stated.
As Saints, they had already understood when Houtu prepared to transform herself into the Six Paths and open up the Dao of Earth.
What kind of place was the Six Paths of Reincarnation?
The importance of the Six Paths of Reincarnation might not be understood by those below the Saint level.
But how could Saints not know?
The Six Paths of Reincarnation were enough to control the fate of the future Primordial World!
It could almost be said to be the cornerstone beneath the Great Dao, with a vast and grand destiny that even surpassed the Heavenly Dao.
Controlling the Six Paths of Reincarnation was almost equivalent to controlling the life and death of the Primordial World!
To be more specific, if any Saint controlled the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
In the future, if a disciple of their sect unfortunately died, they could directly let him reincarnate into the Immortal Dao, continuing to enjoy the blessings of an immortal forever.
It was almost like a fountain of resurrection, possessing an inherently invincible and powerful ability.
For Saints, it was almost a must-contend for place.
And the few Saints present.
Although the Human Sect existed in name only, Taiqing, having had his Saintly cultivation weakened by the Heavenly Dao before, now wanted to contend for it.
Yuanshi and the Western Two Sages, naturally, needed no mention.
All three had their own Daoist Lineages, Chan Sect and Western Sect.
Although the Sect Master of the Heavenly Heavens also had a Daoist Lineage, his personality among the many Saints could be considered the most peculiar one
The fundamental reason he established the Interception Sect was to seize that sliver of opportunity that had escaped for all living beings!
When Houtu comprehended the Dao and established Reincarnation, forming the Earth Dao, she had already seized one of the escaped opportunities under the Great Dao.
This perfectly aligned with the tenets of the great sect he founded.
Therefore, he did not wish to get involved in the struggle to control the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
He also disdained the actions of these Sages.
He valued his reputation.
Unlike the others, who were shameless.
"I don't want to participate, and I can't stand to see dignified Heavenly Dao Sages abandon all pretense of face just to contend for a piece of land." Having been called out by Yuanshi, the Sect Master of Tongtian no longer felt the need to hide his thoughts and immediately disdained associating with the others.
One second, the unrestrained Tongtian was laughing heartily and amicably conversing with the Sages, and the next second, his expression changed completely.
He was considered one of the most unadorned in terms of a Sage's emotions.
"Hmph…" Yuanshi disdained continuing to speak with Tongtian and let out a light snort.
Tongtian continued, "If the Witch Clan's Houtu truly perished in the Primordial World by transforming into the Six Paths, then no matter how you all contend, I could join in the struggle."
"But… everything has changed. The Great Dao speaks of the Great Dao of Fifty, and the Heavenly Dao of Forty-Nine. Houtu has departed from the Heavenly Dao of Forty-Nine and become the One that escaped. Everything should have ended there, so why must you all be like this…"
Their purpose in coming here was directly exposed by Tongtian, causing the several great Sages to lose face.
And the reason, naturally, was due to the unexpected changes that occurred in the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
If the several great Sages wanted to control the Six Paths of Reincarnation, they would necessarily have to make the Six Paths of Reincarnation ownerless.
Originally, according to the Heavenly Dao's predetermined fate, Houtu's transformation into Reincarnation was a certain death.
Once Houtu died, the Six Paths of Reincarnation would naturally become an ownerless land in the Primordial World.
However… on the other hand.
The Six Paths of Reincarnation was established by Houtu, and now it is suppressed by Jiang Chen of the Human Clan with the Great Dao Reincarnation Grinding Disc, which can almost be said to have integrated the fortunes of Humanity and the Earth Dao within it.
As Sages, Houtu, who established the Six Paths of Reincarnation, is still alive. Even if they were completely shameless, it would not be easy to directly and forcibly seize it in front of her, would it?
Even if they were like the Western Two Sages, who truly disregarded all pretense of face.
However, Houtu possesses immense merits in the Primordial World. Though she lacks a Sage's cultivation, she possesses a Sage's merits.
As Sages, how could they disregard the karma of such immense merits in the Primordial World and lay hands on Houtu?
Since Houtu is still alive, it is impossible for the several great Sages to regain control of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
There is only one way.
Make Houtu die!
"According to the Heavenly Dao's predetermined fate, Houtu should have died, and I wouldn't want to obstruct it."
Tongtian clearly knew the ins and outs of this matter and understood the intentions of these Sages.
It could not be concealed.
Therefore, he spoke plainly: "But the Lord of Humanity, with the Great Dao Reincarnation Grinding Disc, suppressed the Six Paths of Reincarnation, allowing Houtu to continue living."
"Are you, my fellow disciples, still planning to scheme for the Heavenly Dao's punishment to redefine the Heavenly Dao's predetermined fate?"
The Heavenly Dao Sages possessed profound and unpredictable voices, and Sect Master Tongtian still considered the dignity of his fellow disciples.
He did not completely fall out with them.
Therefore, only Sages could hear what he said.
But unfortunately, Houtu could also hear it!
Houtu, held in Jiang Chen's embrace, stiffened abruptly after hearing the conversation between the several great Sages.
Her subtle movement made Jiang Chen feel a moment of surprise.
Although he was not a Sage, he could not hear the profound voices of the several great Sages.
But he was a transmigrator, and he knew everything about the Primordial World inside and out!
Houtu's transformation into Reincarnation was due to the predetermined fate of the Heavenly Dao.
If things had proceeded according to the normal script, after Houtu, the several great Sages would certainly have contended for the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
And ultimately, Dao Ancestor Hongjun would certainly have appeared to settle everything.
But now, with Houtu not dying, anyone who wishes to control the Six Paths of Reincarnation must take action.
To make Houtu perish!
Even Jiang Chen, who suppressed the Six Paths of Reincarnation with the Great Dao Reincarnation Grinding Disc, would be included in their schemes.
What Jiang Chen thought was the truth.
Houtu did not dare to tell Jiang Chen the tragic truth.
"Are the four great Sages going to kill me?" Houtu's exquisite face gazed at Jiang Chen.
A pure smile hung on her face.
Jiang Chen stood tall and patted Houtu's back.
If it really came to that, then there was nothing more to say; they would just fight!
Even if they died, they had to drag a Sage down with them!
Moreover, they were not without a chance of winning.
With his self-transformed Sage cultivation, coupled with the numerous Primordial-level treasures on his person.
Additionally, Houtu could activate the Twelve Divine Demonic Pillars Formation, making it reasonable to drag two Sages to their demise.
Furthermore, even if the Six Paths of Reincarnation were destroyed, it would absolutely not benefit any of the Sages involved!
The appearance of the several great Sages gave the billions of living beings in the Primordial World the greatest respite.
No one dared to wage war under the Sages' watchful eyes anymore.
Moreover, the Heavenly Dao was about to unleash Heavenly Punishment to discipline Houtu.
The several great Ancestral Witches of the Witch Clan adopted defensive stances, showing no intention of retreating.
As for the Demon Clan, they were somewhat gloating.
Among them, the two strongest beings of the Demon Clan were the most delighted.
"Hmph… The Sages have appeared, and the Witch Clan's fate is sealed today! If there's anyone to blame, it's Jiang Chen of the Human Clan for being meddlesome, daring to meddle with the Six Paths of Reincarnation without the strength of a Sage!"
Dijun had recovered his Dao body and was extremely arrogant. He had restrained all his aura.
But his gaze was disdainfully sweeping over the Witch Clan and the Human Clan.
He was extremely haughty and utterly cold.
The only thing that puzzled him was why Nüwa, the Demon Ancestor, wasn't contending for the Six Paths of Reincarnation?
If the Six Paths of Reincarnation could be controlled by the Demon Clan, then in the future in the Primordial World, it wouldn't be a dream for Nüwa to advance further and become a powerful Sage comparable to Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
In that case, the Demon Clan could truly achieve eternal existence in the Primordial World, surviving even through kalpas!
"Dijun! Even if the Witch Clan perishes today, we will definitely drag you all along with us!"
Only Ancestral Witch Zhurong possessed such a fiery temper.
At this moment, his million-zhang body spanned beside the crown of the Enlightenment Immortal Tree, appearing somewhat tiny next to the sky-obscuring canopy, like a small fruit hanging from it.
"Hmph… First, think about how to deal with the Heavenly Punishment and the power of the Sages."
Dijun disdained arguing with him.
He merely looked down upon him as if he were a dying creature, from a position of superiority.
"The vengeance for my son must be avenged by slaughtering the entire Witch and Human Clans after your deaths!"
Dijun's hair fluttered as he looked levelly at the several Ancestral Witches.
Jiang Chen did not say another word.
The outcome was truly unknown…
And just at this moment.
Above the firmament, the several Sages seemed to have reached a conclusion.
A Sage had truly descended!
His true body manifested!
Instantly, a magnificent Dao sound reverberated across billions of territories.
The Dao-infused leaves of the Enlightenment Immortal Tree rustled and fell, unable to withstand that immense pressure.
Clouds surged, the heavens and earth trembled, and the Starry Universe cracked.
Fortunately, that Sage harbored no killing intent, otherwise, apart from a select few present, no living being would have survived!
"It's the Western Two Sages! Those two Sages have descended
