Chapter 422

They would need some time to recover.

So Houtu could rest assured waiting here.

Otherwise, if the conflict between the Witch and Demon clans had been intense, even she, the Ancestral Witch Houtu, might not have been able to wait here so long.

Because if that were the case,

the Witch clan, deprived of her as an Ancestral Witch, would be at a distinct disadvantage.

Not to mention,

both the Witch and Demon clans possessed hidden cards.

If the Demon clan took advantage of her absence to strike at the Witch Ancestral Witches, Houtu would regret it too late.

Fortunately, after that incident, the high echelons of the Demon Clan were wounded and entered a period of recuperation.

The primordial lands had also gained a fragile peace.

"Houtu." A voice she recognized suddenly sounded in her ear, startling her, then filling her with joy.

It was the voice of the Father God.

She turned to look, and there indeed was Luo Fu.

Yet when she saw Luo Fu, her beautiful eyes held a trace of shock.

Previously, Luo Fu's strength had been astonishing, but through various means, Houtu had still been able to discern some of his foundations.

But now,

when Houtu saw Luo Fu again, he was as boundless as the ocean—she could detect not the faintest trace.

This further revealed how terrifyingly powerful the Father God's growth had been during this time.

Although the Father God seemed to be a Great Luo, he could likely rival even a True Dao Saint, let alone a Pre-Sage.

These thoughts arose one by one in Houtu's mind.

Finally, Houtu bowed respectfully to Luo Fu and said, "Houtu pays homage to the Father God."

"Father God…" Luo Fu looked utterly exasperated. "Houtu, I already told you before—I am not Pangu the Great God. If you keep calling me Father God, I'll leave."

"I… I'm sorry," Houtu was startled, then replied, "Luo Fu, friend."

"Hah, that's better," Luo Fu smiled. "Houtu, hundreds of years have passed—I thought you'd already left. I didn't expect you to have such patience."

"Luo Fu friend, since I already pledged to follow you, I will never break my word," Houtu declared firmly.

In Houtu's heart, Luo Fu was the reincarnation of the Father God.

How could she, Houtu, lie to the Father God?

"If so," Luo Fu smiled faintly, "stay by my side for now. Perhaps you'll discover your own destiny—and the path for your Witch clan."

"Thank you, friend," Houtu felt joy swell in her heart.

"Let's go…" Luo Fu moved his step and vanished from this realm.

The Ancestral Witch Houtu followed closely behind.
