Chapter 424

Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun of Mount Kunlun seemed to sense Luo Fu's emergence.

They both smiled faintly toward the direction where Luo Fu stood.

It was relief—or something else.

Never mind the sages like the Three Pure Ones and their perceptions of Luo Fu.

After completing his seclusion and cultivation, Luo Fu walked with Sister Houtu across the Primordial World.

He did not immediately set about establishing the Six Realms of Reincarnation.

He still wished to see what this so-called Heavenly Dao's grand trend truly was.

This would allow Luo Fu to better understand what secrets the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World concealed.

As the supreme Heavenly Dao-level Pangu, the Primordial World he created must surely hold certain secrets in Luo Fu's eyes.

Otherwise, why would Pangu have forged such a world?

And had Pangu truly perished?

That was the great mystery.

Perhaps this world truly held a Pangu awaiting revival.

Of course, Luo Fu himself was certainly not a reincarnation of Pangu—he understood this clearly.

Especially after receiving the Master God Space's transmission of the Great Dao's power, Luo Fu's understanding of Heavenly Dao power became far easier and simpler.

This also gave Luo Fu more methods and insights for facing the Heavenly Dao in the future.

From Sister Houtu's perspective,

Luo Fu walking with her across the Primordial World puzzled her.

Why would the Father God lead her on such aimless wandering?

Especially when Luo Fu showed her the endless slaughter among Primordial World beings, Sister Houtu grew even more confused.

What was there to admire in slaughter?

Know that in the Primordial World, the strong devour the weak; even without the Wu and Yao clans,

there was no such thing as peace on this land.

Combat was everywhere on this earth.

Whether over verbal disputes or rare treasures and divine herbs…

In the Primordial World, slaughter was an extremely common occurrence.

"Sister Houtu," Luo Fu stopped one day and asked the Ancestral Witch, "do you have any insight into the death of Primordial World beings?"

They had been walking across the Primordial World for some time.

To see beings perish in slaughter, with karmic hatred clinging to heaven and earth—

Luo Fu had shown her all of it.

That was why, at this moment, Luo Fu questioned Sister Houtu.

Continuing to wander the Primordial World would serve no purpose.

"Insight…" Sister Houtu paused.

If asked for insight, she truly had none.

But if the Father God asked her this, there must be hidden meaning—how could she say she had no insight?

That would only disappoint the Father God.

Thinking of this, the Ancestral Witch Sister Houtu recalled the scenes of these days.

Countless Primordial World beings slaughtered and died, with malevolent qi shrouding heaven and earth.

This land seemed saturated with twisted madness.

Slowly, Sister Houtu felt something stir within her.

"Friend of Luofu," Sister Houtu's face bore compassion, "the Primordial World knows endless slaughter; countless beings perish, their vengeful spirits homeless. If this land could know peace, and these vengeful spirits found a place to rest, how wonderful it would be."

In truth,

this was the insight Sister Houtu had gained during this time.

It was something only her compassionate heart could produce.

Had it been any other Ancestral Witch, they would not have held such thoughts.

Death, vengeful spirits—what did they matter?

Of course,

Sister Houtu, as an Ancestral Witch, had also caused the death of countless beings.

Yet she did not take pride in slaughter; instead, this very nature allowed her to possess compassion.

It is not to say that a compassionate Houtu would never kill.

These are entirely separate matters.

"Hmm…" Hearing Sister Houtu's words, Luo Fu nodded.

This was precisely the kind of thought her current nature could produce.

"Sister Houtu, do you have any other thoughts?" Luo Fu asked.

"Other thoughts?" Sister Houtu's eyes held confusion; she thought carefully, then hesitated, "Friend of Luofu, I seem to have no other thoughts."

"Oh…" Luo Fu's eyes glinted faintly.

Clearly, the power of the Heavenly Dao's grand trend had not yet touched Sister Houtu.

Otherwise,

Sister Houtu's mind would surely have been filled with the idea of establishing the Six Realms of Reincarnation.

After all, the Reincarnation Dao she possessed would greatly aid in establishing reincarnation.

If it were other Ancestral Wushen or other powerful beings trying to open the Cycle of Rebirth, it would be far more difficult.

That is precisely why.

It is only natural that Sister Houtu would be favored by the Heavenly Dao.

Of course, if Sister Houtu perished in the Great Calamity, it is also possible that another being similar to her might appear.

A being favored by the Heavenly Dao would inevitably grow with unparalleled speed.

Just like the Wu and Yao clans, the very subjects of the Great Calamity.

Their growth to their current state is certainly tied to their status as the protagonists of the Great Calamity.

Otherwise, among the myriad races of the Honghuang.

Why did only the Wu and Yao clans rise above the rest?

Keep in mind, when the Long Feng and Beginning Qilin clans had not yet risen, the entire cosmos was filled with countless races.

Yet it was precisely the Long Feng and Beginning Qilin clans that emerged victorious.

The situation of the Wu and Yao clans was similar.

After the Long Feng Calamity.

The Honghuang cosmos returned to an age of strife among countless races.

Until one day, the Wu and Yao clans rose, overwhelming and suppressing the entire Honghuang cosmos.

To this day, they have become the overlords of the Honghuang cosmos.

This is the reason they were favored by the cosmos.

Of course, their own extraordinary nature also played a role.

After all, to be favored, you must have the reason and the qualification to be favored.

If you lack even the qualification, how could you possibly be favored by the Heavenly Dao?

Sister Houtu is surely a paradigm of being favored by the Heavenly Dao.

She is not only one of the protagonists of the Great Calamity, but also wields the Dao of the Cycle of Rebirth, perfectly matching the Six Paths of Rebirth.

Of course, according to the original history, being favored by the Heavenly Dao was also a blessing for Sister Houtu.

In a sense, she survived, and brought the surviving Wu clan to the Underworld, granting them a new chance.

Otherwise, under the Great Calamity, the fate of the Wu clan would have been even bleaker.

Whether the Wu clan or the Yao clan.

In this Great Calamity, both must make way for the future protagonists of the cosmos: the human race.

Thus, during the Great Calamity, the Wu clan could not possibly endure—this may be the very function of the cosmic Great Calamity.

Originally, the Long Feng and Beginning Qilin clans were likewise the overlords of the Honghuang cosmos, as the Wu and Yao clans are now.

Yet in the end, they too perished in the Great Calamity.
