Houtu: Brothers, come and cling to the Divine Court's coattails!
Chapter 75 Houtu: Brothers, come and cling to the Divine Court's coattails!
The underworld, the realm of gods and deities.
Within a vast city, a grand palace exudes a wild and untamed aura.
This grand hall, and indeed this colossal city, is the residence of the Supreme Emperor Houtu, Pingxin City!
Because Houtu's ancestral witch body transformed into reincarnation, she attained enlightenment and condensed her primordial spirit. However, since she had prepared a drop of ancestral witch blood beforehand, she also achieved the body of a witch god.
The body of the sorcerer god is the body of the ancestral sorcerer who possesses a primordial spirit!
At this moment, the twelve Ancestral Witches gathered together in the Pingxin Hall, located in the center of Pingxin City.
Dijiang then sternly said to Houtu, "Houtu, you are far too disobedient. If your thoughts were wrong, you would already be back in Father God's arms!"
"Yes! Houtu, even though you have attained enlightenment, as your elder brothers, we still have to say a few more words to you. Why didn't you discuss such a momentous matter as your transformation into a being of reincarnation with us first?"
Zhu Jiuyin said, his tone both stern and tender.
The other ancestral witches also scolded Houtu, their complaints filled with concern and reproach.
Houtu felt a warmth in her heart and smiled faintly upon seeing this.
"Brothers and sisters, please don't be angry. Houtu has already attained the Great Luo Realm of Hunyuan. From now on, our Wu Clan will also possess the combat power of the Great Luo Realm of Hunyuan, so naturally we will not fear the Nuwa Saint of the Demon Clan!"
Upon hearing this, Dijiang and the other ancestral witches smiled knowingly.
But it is true.
Ever since the demon goddess Nuwa attained sainthood, the Wu clan has been at a disadvantage in all aspects. Even with the help of the human race, they could only barely resist the invasion of the demon race.
In the early years, the land occupied by the demon race was largely returned to them.
Now, with the Western Continent further encroached upon by the gods, the Wu tribe's territory on the prehistoric lands is less than 40%.
Thinking of this, Zhu Jiuyin couldn't help but ask, "Houtu, you said that when you fell from the sky that day, it was this divine being, Huang Tian, who saved you?"
Upon hearing this, the other ancestral witches also stopped talking and looked at Houtu.
"That's right, it was also Fellow Daoist Huang Tian who told us about the demon race's slaughter of humans to refine the Slaughtering Witch Sword!" Houtu smiled slightly.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Rong's fiery temper immediately erupted.
"Those hairy bastards are truly insidious!"
At this point, Dijiang, his eyes flashing with coldness, said, "Hmph! I won't let them get away with the matter of Hou Yi, or the injury to Houtu!"
"Brother, now that Houtu has attained enlightenment, what should we do with our Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation?" Xuanming Ancestral Witch asked worriedly.
Hearing this, Houtu said with a solemn expression, "Elder brother, Houtu has a few more things to tell everyone."
Seeing Houtu's solemn expression, Dijiang and the others immediately became serious. "Houtu, you speak, we're all listening!"
"Houtu has already attained the Great Luo of Primordial Chaos, which means I can no longer directly participate in this great calamity. Therefore, we need to find someone who can take my place and re-practice the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation!"
"Furthermore, the demon race is our witch race's sworn enemy, and the conflict has reached an irreconcilable point!"
Then, Houtu solemnly added, "Everyone witnessed the power of the former Lord of the Divine Court, right? It was comparable to the will of Heaven, and even the Dao Ancestor Hongjun could not rival it!"
Upon hearing this, Dijiang and the others nodded solemnly.
Upon seeing this, Houtu continued, "Therefore, Houtu wonders if our Wu tribe could join forces with the Divine tribe!"
Dijiang and the others exchanged glances, then all looked at Houtu. Dijiang asked, "Houtu, what do you suggest? Your brothers will listen to you!"
The other ancestral witches also nodded seriously in agreement.
Houtu was very pleased to see this, and then said...
"This great calamity has evolved from a conflict between our two races, the Witch and the Demon, into a calamity involving the three races of the Witch, the Demon, and the God. It is also a contest between Hongjun and the Lord of the Divine Court, and between the Heavenly Dao Saint and the Creator God of the Divine Court. Therefore, my suggestion is that our Witch race should shift its focus, abandon most of the interests in the Primordial World, and move to the Underworld!"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Zhu Jiuyin.
As the wise one among the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Zhu Jiuyin's opinion is usually the first one people consult.
So this time was no exception for everyone.
After listening to Houtu's words, Zhu Jiuyin thought about it seriously for a while, and then looked at Houtu and asked.
"Houtu, have you officially joined the Divine Court?"
The other ancestral witches looked at Houtu in disbelief upon hearing this.
Houtu gave a slight wry smile upon hearing this, and then said helplessly, "Yes!"
"Foolish girl, Houtu! We, the descendants of Pangu, how can we recklessly join the forces of others? Wouldn't that tarnish the reputation of us, the descendants of Pangu!"
The Ancestral Witch of Wind, Tianwu, immediately spoke with a furious expression.
Houtu was helpless in the face of this and remained silent in the face of everyone's accusations.
Just as the Ancestral Witches were getting angry, Zhu Jiuyin suddenly said, "I agree to Houtu joining the Divine Court!"
The other Ancestral Witches looked at Zhu Jiuyin in disbelief upon hearing this, and even Dijiang looked at him with suspicion.
Zhu Jiuyin first looked at the assembled Ancestral Witches, then explained, "Times have changed. This era ultimately belongs to sages and those who have attained enlightenment!"
"If our witch clan has no powerful backers, we will surely perish in the schemes of the saints!"
"It wouldn't be bad if Houtu joined the Divine Court; at least she can preserve the flame of our witch clan!"
"I propose that when we return, we select some elite members of our clan to serve Houtu in the Underworld!"
Hearing this, everyone understood that the matter could not be changed.
After hearing this, Hou Tu understood her second brother Zhu Jiuyin's meaning and felt a pang of sadness. She couldn't help but ask, "Brother, must our Wu clan really fight to the death with the demon clan? We can rely on the gods to win!"
At this moment, Dijiang said, "Houtu, putting aside the age-old feud between our Wu tribe and the demon tribe, we cannot abandon the integrity of our Wu tribe because of this."
"So, stop trying to persuade us. As for the matter of the Twelve Heavenly Capitals, my elder brother will find someone from your Houtu tribe to gather them all. This time, we must personally kill those two hairy beasts, Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi!"
The other ancestral witches also nodded solemnly.
Upon hearing this, Houtu remained silent for a moment, then said with a resolute look in her eyes, "Houtu understands!"
Then, she looked at the ancestral witches and said in a solemn voice, "Brothers, rest assured, Houtu will definitely not be absent from this great calamity. If any Heavenly Saints dare to interfere, I will make them taste the power of Houtu!"
"Haha~ Great!"
Upon hearing this, all the ancestral witches couldn't help but laugh heartily.
The First Realm.
Inside the Great Hall of the Gods in the Divine Court.
After receiving the guidance of Zhunti and attaining enlightenment, Gu Changqing summoned all the key high-ranking officials of the Divine Court.
Above the temple, Gu Changqing sat high on the imperial throne, with the three creator gods, Cangtian, and Houtu, the newly appointed supreme goddess, on his left.
To his right was the Holy Spirit Queen, Princess Ling'er, and Mu Yuan, the representative of the Elemental Holy Spirit Clan of the Primordial Realm.
Below him were the god-kings of the nine divine systems and the guardian deities of the divine court.
Below them were members of the minor pantheons and a group of primordial cultivators who had pledged allegiance to the Divine Court, including Ao Qing of the Dragon Clan.
All the gods present were beings at or above the peak of the Great Luo God realm.
Afterwards, Tu, through his understanding of the Divine Court during this period, was also shocked by the strength of the divine race's foundation.
Fortunately, their witch clan and the god clan did not have a direct conflict.
Furthermore, since she herself has already joined the Divine Court, the Witch Clan and the God Clan will no longer directly clash.
Just as the gods were secretly speculating about the content of the meeting, Gu Changqing spoke.
"Everyone, with the birth of the Six Sages of Heaven, the primordial world will enter a new era!"
"Therefore, the existing systems of the Divine Court will also be changed!"
As Gu Changqing finished speaking, the eyes of the gods below revealed a fighting spirit and excitement.
Nodding slightly, Gu Changqing continued with a smile.
"This adjustment will affect your respective positions and future prospects! Your every action will be linked to the Divine Court's contribution system!"
"Those who make high contributions to the Divine Court will be entrusted with high positions; even more remarkably, the supreme deity among them will obtain a position as a creator god, thus proving themselves as a creator god through the immense fortune of a eon!"
Looking down at the eager gods below, Gu Changqing smiled calmly.
Then he couldn't help but look at Cangtian and the others to his lower left.
He then continued, "The Azure Heaven, the Blue Sky, the Yellow Heaven, and the Earth Goddess!"
Upon hearing this, the four Heavenly Beings respectfully stood up from their divine thrones, appearing to be listening attentively.
"Now that the three of you and Houtu have all successfully attained enlightenment, the position of Guardian Deity is no longer suitable for you!"
After speaking, Gu Changqing paused for a moment to calm down before continuing, "He hereby bestows upon the former Guardian God Envoy Cangtian the title of Eastern Azure Heaven Emperor of the Divine Court of the Divine Race, granting him authority over divine punishments and the enjoyment of the Divine Race's destiny!"
"Your Majesty, I, the Heavenly Emperor, thank you!" the Heavenly Emperor immediately exclaimed respectfully upon hearing this.
