Chapter 69: Wool-Gathering from the Heavenly Rice

Upon hearing this, Ashura immediately understood why Houtu was so obsessed with opening up the Reincarnation!

So it was all for that Heavenly Rice Merit!

Thinking of this, a trace of greed flashed through Ashura's heart, and he secretly calculated whether he should kick Houtu aside, open the Reincarnation by himself, and exclusively enjoy the Heavenly Rice Merit?

However, the moment his thought emerged, he sensed an inexplicable chill spreading throughout his entire body.

The feeling that he would die and his Rice would vanish if he dared to refuse was extremely intense.

Not daring to take such a gamble, Ashura finally nodded helplessly.

Seeing this, Houtu also breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Houtu had finally realized her own opportunity and mission.

She was a descendant of Pangu, primarily cultivating the Tu zhi Fazhe the Great Rice, and was the best candidate to embody the Reincarnation.

It was just that.

She herself did not know whether this act could truly break the obstacle of their Wu Clan lacking a primordial spirit.

Although she had great confidence that she could succeed, she was just afraid of the "what if"!

If she embodied the Reincarnation and could not give birth to a primordial spirit, then she would inevitably return to the embrace of Father God Pangu and vanish from the Honghuang forever.

Moreover.

She could not bear to part with her brothers and sisters, and even less could she bear to part with the Wu Clan.

If she were missing, she did not know how the other eleven Ancestral Witches would resist the Demon Race.

But after thinking it over, she had no other choice.

As time passed, there would be more and more Acquired Living Beings in the Honghuang world.

There would also be more and more people who understood that weapons refined from resentful spirits were the method to break the Witch Battle Body!

Therefore, if she did not resolve the issue of the Wu Clan's weakness as soon as possible, then even if she remained in the world, she could not change the fact that the Wu Clan was about to decline.

Having thought this through, she could not help but become firm.

Afterward, she glanced at Ashura, nodded at him, and then directly transformed into a towering giant of one hundred thousand zhang.

Just at this moment, she suddenly turned her head to look in a certain direction.

It was seen that, under her gaze.

A man wearing a yellow robe revealed his figure from the void, also looking at her with a calm face.

And Ashura, who was on the side, also raised his eyebrows upon seeing this.

"You have come!"

Houtu smiled slightly.

Huangtian Laozu nodded, then congratulated Houtu Zuwu: "Congratulations to Houtu Zuwu for realizing your own path; the Hunyuan Daluo is within reach!"

"I hope so!" Houtu looked up at the sky and smiled.

It was seen that her expression gradually became calm, as if she had let go of the mortal world.

"The Great Rice is above; today I, Houtu of the Pangu clan, wish to embody the All Heavens Reincarnation to establish the Reincarnation and save all living beings from suffering. After all living beings die, they may all enter the Reincarnation to be reborn. I specially establish the Six Paths of Reincarnation: Heavenly Rice, Ashura Rice, Human Rice, Animal Rice, Evil Ghost Rice, and Hell Rice.

Heavenly Rice: Born deities. All those who had great merit and great opportunity during their lifetime may be reborn into the Heavenly Rice after death.

Ashura Rice: The Sea of Blood Ashura. All those who had deep killing karma during their lifetime will be reborn into the Ashura Rice after death.

Human Rice: All beings with complete intelligence. All those who had neither merit nor fault toward the Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos during their lifetime will be reborn into the Human Rice after death.

Animal Rice: Animals without intelligence. All those whose faults outweighed their merits during their lifetime will be reborn into the Animal Rice after death.

Evil Ghost Rice: Netherworld evil ghosts. All those who had great faults during their lifetime will be reborn into the Evil Ghost Rice after death.

Hell Rice: Punishment to eliminate faults. All those who committed heinous crimes during their lifetime will enter the Hell Rice after death to serve their sentences until their karmic debt is eliminated!

Six Paths of Reincarnation, stand!!"

Boom~!

As soon as her voice fell, there was a loud noise in the sky.

It was seen that Houtu's massive body instantly turned into countless rolling black mists, and the black lines formed by the countless black mists gathered toward the sky above the Sea of Blood.

Afterward, they fused with each other, rotating until they formed a circular disk of six interconnected large whirlpools.

With the formation of the Six Paths of Reincarnation disk, the sounds of the Rice resonated frequently above the nine heavens.

Boundless auspicious clouds and mysterious yellow merit began to condense in the sky, and the weight of the merit was enough to compare to the sum of any two of the Pangu Three Pure Ones.

It was seen that the merit was divided into three parts, with one part split into a larger and a smaller portion, falling into the Sea of Blood and Ashura's hands respectively.

Three-tenths of the merit fell into the Six Paths of Reincarnation disk to stabilize its operation, and the remaining six-tenths fell into Houtu's true spirit, which was about to dissipate.

With the integration of so much merit, Houtu's true spirit actually gave birth to a primordial spirit because of it.

It was seen that Houtu woke up from her enlightenment, reached out and pointed into the void from afar, and then a drop of Ancestral Witch blood essence appeared out of thin air. Using this as a foundation, she caused her flesh and blood to grow, becoming the first member of the Wu Clan in the world to possess a primordial spirit!

Afterward, Houtu's aura surged violently, and the might of the Hunyuan Daluo suddenly spread throughout the Honghuang world. The difference was that her pressure was completely different from that of a Saint.

A Saint's pressure is heavy, solemn, and dignified, while her pressure, although equally solemn, was not so heavy and dignified; instead, it had a feeling of being unconstrained.

As Houtu's aura surged, auspicious signs descended from the sky in the Honghuang, announcing the arrival of the Six Paths of Reincarnation!

At this time, countless Acquired Living Beings knelt on the ground in the direction of Houtu, bowing and thanking her in unison: "Mercy, Lady Houtu!"

After all.

What Houtu did was beneficial to all living beings in the Honghuang, and her compassion was obvious to all, so calling her "Lady" was well-deserved.

Although Huangtian Laozu and Ashura were closest to Houtu's Hunyuan Daluo might, this did not affect the two of them.

Although Ashura obtained a small portion of merit, it was not bad; at least he believed that he and the Sea of Blood were inseparable.

And after Huangtian Laozu watched the entire process of Houtu's Proof of Rice, the opportunity for his own Proof of Rice finally appeared before his eyes.

He looked at the empty space around the Six Paths of Reincarnation, as well as the resentful spirits of heaven and earth that were disorderly scrambling to enter the Reincarnation disk.

The Creation God position deep within his primordial spirit jumped suddenly, and with that, he immediately had an idea in his heart.

The commotion from Houtu's Proof of Rice was immense, and Minghe, deeply hidden in the depths of the Sea of Blood, also revealed his true form.

Just as the three people present intended to step forward to offer a few words of congratulation.

The expression of Lady Houtu suddenly changed, becoming extremely unsightly.

Huangtian Laozu could not help but step forward to ask: "Fellow Daoist Houtu, has something happened?"

Houtu merely looked up at the sky, then said with a look of unwillingness: "When I achieved Proof of Rice, the Heavenly Rice sent me a warning!"

"What kind of warning?" At this, Minghe Laozu asked with a frown.

At this moment, he was at the Quasi-Saint Peak, only one step away from Proof of Rice.

Therefore, he was extremely interested in everything regarding the Primordial Great Luo Realm!

Now, it was finally rare to have an existence among them who did not achieve Proof of Rice by relying on the Grandmist Violet Qi, yet she had actually received a warning from the Heavenly Rice, which made him feel very curious.

What kind of warning could it be that made Houtu's expression become so unsightly?

Huangtian Laozu and Ashura were also puzzled by this and looked at Houtu one after another.

"Heh, to prevent me from wantonly destroying the Primordial World, the Heavenly Rice specifically gave me two choices."

"The first is to leave the Primordial World and head to Chaos; the second is to guard the Six Paths of Reincarnation, where my true body may never walk the Primordial Land for the rest of my life, and I can only walk the Primordial World using a Primordial avatar."

Speaking of this, she could not help but mock: "A Primordial Great Luo is ultimately not a Saint; in the eyes of the Heavenly Rice, a Primordial Great Luo is merely an outsider!"

Hearing this, the few were all stunned.

But they quickly reacted and understood what was going on.

Heavenly Rice Saints and Primordial Great Luo are like the relationship between officials and private individuals.

The duty of a Heavenly Rice Saint is to educate the sentient beings of the Primordial World and maintain the normal evolution of the Primordial World.

In the eyes of the Heavenly Rice, a Heavenly Rice Saint is one of its own and will not commit acts that harm the Primordial World, so the Heavenly Rice does not impose restrictions on them.

But the Primordial Great Luo is different.

They can wantonly use their own power until they have turned the Primordial World into a mess, and in the end, they can still brush off their backsides and flee into Chaos.

Therefore.

This is likely the reason why the Primordial Heavenly Rice would warn a Primordial Great Luo like this.

However, Huangtian Laozu soon thought of the Creation God of their God Race.

Could it be that His Majesty the God Emperor had also received a warning from the Heavenly Rice?

Never mind, then let me experience for myself whether the Heavenly Rice will warn me.

Thinking of this, Huangtian Laozu then spoke calmly to the few.

"Since that is the case, then let me try and see if the Heavenly Rice will warn me!"

Hearing this, Minghe and Ashura were confused, and only Houtu said with a look of slight surprise: "Could it be that Fellow Daoist Huangtian has also found the opportunity for Proof of Rice?"

Hearing this, Minghe Laozu immediately cried out in shock: "What!?"

"What kind of day is it today? Since when has it become so simple to achieve Proof of Rice as a Primordial Great Luo?" Ashura muttered to himself in disbelief.

Huangtian Laozu looked at Houtu with deliberate gratitude, then smiled faintly: "This matter must be credited to Fellow Daoist Houtu; it was she who gave me the hint, and only then could I realize it for myself!"

"Oh?" Houtu also smiled with an interested look.

Seeing the confusion of the others, Huangtian Laozu smiled faintly: "Everyone, watch!"

After speaking, the figure of Huangtian Laozu slowly arrived in the void under the gaze of the others.

Huangtian Laozu looked up at the sky, thinking to himself, does this count as wool-gathering from the Heavenly Rice?
