Chapter 286

Perhaps precisely because he relied on the Saint, that human Luo Fu, who killed the Demon Clan's Demon God, believed nothing would happen.

And after finally learning the true strength of that human, all the Ancestral Wu drew in sharp breaths.

The opponent was merely a Taiyi Jin Xian.

To slay a top-level Da Luo Jinxian while being only a Taiyi Jin Xian—even in their prime, they could never have achieved such a feat.

If these words had not come from their younger sister Houtu, they would never have believed them.

But since they came from their younger sister, they had no reason to doubt.

That human truly achieved this level.

You should know that the gap between Daluo and Taiyi is as vast as a chasm between heaven and the abyss.

"Luo Fu," Di Jiang's eyes gleamed. "A hundred years ago, I did hear that name—the Saint's disciple Luo Fu, who, during the Kunlunsan Sect competition, supposedly defeated the other Saints' direct disciples and became number one."

"That's right, now you mention it, I remember," Ju Mang nodded. "I never expected that Luo Fu, who was merely a Jin Xian back then, has now reached Taiyi Jin Xian—and even reversed the kill against a Da Luo. Are the Saints' direct disciples really that terrifying?"

"Perhaps it's not the Saints' direct disciples who are terrifying, but Luo Fu himself," Xuanming said. "To be taken as a disciple by Tongtian Jiaozhu, that human must possess exceptional qualities."

"But if that's the case, even though Luo Fu is a Saint's direct disciple, the Demon Clan's Di Jun and Dong Huang Taiyi will not let this matter pass easily," Zhu Jiuyin said.

Although Luo Fu is a Saint's direct disciple, the Demon God Jiu Ying is a high-ranking member of the Demon Clan.

If such a high-ranking member of the Demon Clan is killed and Di Jun and Dong Huang Taiyi do nothing, how will the rest of the Demon Clan view their leaders?

Of course, if Luo Fu remained on Mount Kunlun, then Di Jun and the others could do nothing—that would be perfectly normal.

But what if Luo Fu is not on Mount Kunlun?

"Big brothers, Sister Xuanming, if the Demon Clan truly targets Luo Fu and he faces crisis, I believe we must help Luo Fu," Houtu said.

This left Di Jiang and the others stunned.

What is going on here?

Although the human Luo Fu killed the Demon God Jiu Ying, in a sense, our Wu Clan has no connection to the human Luo Fu at all.

Why should the Ancestral Wu go to aid Luo Fu if he faces crisis?

"Because Luo Fu may very well be the reincarnation of the Father God," Houtu said slowly.

This was the true purpose of Houtu's speech this time.

"What…?" The Ancestral Wu were momentarily speechless.

The Father God's reincarnation? What exactly did their younger sister mean?

"Younger sister, what do you mean by 'Father God's reincarnation'?" Di Jiang's gaze was grave.

To the Ancestral Wu, there is only one Father God: Pan Gu.

But Pan Gu died after creating heaven and earth—how could he possibly reincarnate?

"Big brother, I believe you understand my meaning: Luo Fu may be the reincarnation of Pan Gu," Houtu said seriously.

"Younger sister, don't joke about this—you know Luo Fu is merely a human," Xuanming couldn't help saying.

Even if Pan Gu truly reincarnated, it shouldn't be as a human.

At the very least, if he became a member of the Wu Clan, that would make more sense.

After all, we Ancestral Wu were born from Pan Gu's blood—we created the Wu Clan, and thus share some bloodline connection with him.

"Sister Xuanming, I'm not joking," Houtu shook her head.

"Younger sister, are you serious?" Di Jiang said earnestly. "Where did you get this impression?"

This caused the other Ancestral Wu to nod in agreement.

If Houtu couldn't provide a clear reason, they would not easily believe it.

"Because Luo Fu understands the Way of Power," Houtu said gravely.

"The Way of Power," Di Jiang's eyes flickered. "That is precisely the Way Mastered by the Father God—even we Ancestral Wu cannot comprehend this Way at all."

The Way of Power holds a certain uniqueness among the Three Thousand Ways.

Not just us Ancestral Wu—even in today's Primordial World, no one else could possibly awaken it.

Luo Fu has achieved it.

He did so by using Heaven's-level comprehension to grasp it from the Three Pure Ones' Way legacies.

For anyone else,

to make the Three Pure Ones pour their full effort into teaching them—only Luo Fu could accomplish this.

This isn't merely about connections; even a Nascent Soul-level cultivator couldn't do it.

This is the difference in comprehension.

Only Heaven-level comprehension allowed Luo Fu to awaken the Way of Power from the Three Pure Ones' legacies.

Simultaneously, after killing that sliver of Pan Gu's true spirit, Luo Fu gained fragments of Pan Gu's Way legacy.

This further deepened Luo Fu's understanding of the Way of Power.

Consider this: in today's Primordial World,

even Dao Zu Hongjun, who has merged with Heaven's Dao, cannot obtain Pan Gu's Way legacy.

Pan Gu created the Primordial World—every corner of this world bears his traces.

Yet no one has ever discovered Pan Gu's true essence.

"Yes, that is the true Way of Power," Houtu nodded. "And when killing the Demon God Jiu Ying, Luo Fu also used other Ways: the Way of Creation, the Way of Reincarnation, the Way of Destruction, and more."

"In my view, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would struggle to comprehend these Ways to such a degree at the same level—yet Luo Fu is merely a Taiyi Jin Xian."

"Then how could an ordinary Taiyi Jin Xian comprehend the Way of Power while also mastering such other Ways?"

"Even a Saint's direct disciple cannot do this."

This statement left the Ancestral Wu momentarily silent—Houtu's reasoning was sound.

When something defies normalcy, something strange is afoot.

The realm of Taiyi Jin Xian, yet he can accomplish what even a Pretender Saint or a Saint cannot do.

Then the truth may be only one.

The primordial god who opened heaven and earth, if he possesses so much power of the Dao, then it is normal.

"Understood," Di Jiang nodded. "Little sister, no matter what, that human Luo Fu is no ordinary human—he very likely is the reincarnation of the primordial god. If he truly faces a threat from the demon race, we must go to his aid."

To Di Jiang, the conflict with the demon race is a fight to the death.

So even if we stand up for Luo Fu, it's no big deal.

Before, we simply had no reason to stand up for Luo Fu.

Now, we have this very reason.

Luo Fu may be the reincarnation of the primordial god.

Even if this is not one hundred percent certain, it is enough.

"But little sister," Di Jiang turned to Sister Houtu, "if the human Luo Fu has not truly awakened the primordial god's memories, then he is not our true primordial god."

"Big brother, I understand," Sister Houtu breathed deeply and nodded.

If he were the true primordial god, then whatever Luo Fu said, we, the Ancestral Wu, would surely do.

Even if it meant walking through fire and boiling water, we would not hesitate.

But that precondition applies only after Luo Fu truly awakens the primordial god's memories—not now.

The Luo Fu of now is not the true primordial god.

"Good," Di Jiang smiled, scanning the brothers before him. "Zhu Jiuyin, Gou Mang… you must not reveal Luo Fu's identity."

"Don't worry," Gong Gong said. "Though I'm a brute, I still have some intelligence."

Beside him, Zhu Rong gave Gong Gong a silent look.

When had this brother of mine ever possessed the concept of "intelligence"?

…………………………

Heaven's Court.

After Bai Ze and Ji Meng returned to Heaven's Court, they immediately reported Luo Fu's killing of Jiu Ying.

This enraged Di Jun and Dong Huang Taiyi.

"A Saint's direct disciple, a human Luo Fu," Di Jun's eyes turned icy as he growled low, "Does the human Luo Fu think having a Saint backing him means he can do as he pleases?"

"Senior brother, even if he is a Saint's direct disciple, we must make that human understand: the demon race cannot be insulted," Dong Huang Taiyi radiated sharp killing intent.

Whether Luo Fu showed disrespect or killed Jiu Ying, both were slaps to the demon race.

As for Jiu Ying's initial attempt to seize Luo Fu's primordial spiritual root, Di Jun and the others blatantly ignored it.

"Take the demon race's demon gods to the Honghuang lands and kill the human Luo Fu," Di Jun's eyes turned icy.
