Chapter 859: Ascending to Wahuang Heaven
After finishing the short video, Tongtian Jiaozhu's expression was solemn, and a sharp glint flickered in his eyes.
He was also pondering the analysis by "Honghuang Xiaodao".
Rationally speaking, the analysis by "Honghuang Xiaodao" was very logical, almost impeccable;
But emotionally, he did not believe it—or to be precise, he was unwilling to believe it.
He had always believed that the Three Pure Ones were one.
Even if he and Yuanshi Tianzun had conflicts, those were matters between brothers; at most, Laozi would lean toward one side, but he would never join outsiders to bully him.
In the original story, it was precisely because Tongtian Jiaozhu trusted Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun too much that he ended up in a crushing defeat.
In fact, before this, Tongtian Jiaozhu had not thought in this direction either, just as he had naively thought in the original story that at most Laozi would show up to lean toward one side, which he still would not fear.
But now, he could not help but think about it.
Because if Yuanshi Tianzun really had colluded with the Western Two Sages, then a crushing defeat for the Jie Sect would be the only outcome.
"Yuanshi, could it really be like this?"
Tongtian Jiaozhu asked himself, but the answer left even him silent.
Thinking of this, he looked up at Wuyun and said in a deep voice, "What do you think of what 'Honghuang Xiaodao' said?"
Wuyun hurriedly bowed and said, "Sect Master, regardless of whether what 'Honghuang Xiaodao' says makes sense, our Jie Sect cannot gamble. This concerns the life and death of our Jie Sect; we should make preparations early."
"Just as 'Honghuang Xiaodao' analyzed, if the Sect Master can join forces with Nuwa, then our Jie Sect will be in an invincible position."
"If 'Honghuang Xiaodao's' analysis is wrong, having an extra hand prepared is always good."
"If unfortunately 'Honghuang Xiaodao' is proven right, then we can at least remain in an invincible position, or even emerge victorious."
Tongtian Jiaozhu remained silent.
After a long time, he sighed and said, "You are right. Regardless of whether 'Honghuang Xiaodao's' analysis is correct or not, we cannot gamble, and we must not gamble. You may go down first."
"This disciple takes his leave."
Wuyun bowed again and turned to leave.
Looking at the empty palace, a look of sighing and disappointment appeared on Tongtian Jiaozhu's face.
The bond of the Three Pure Ones over countless years was truly about to dissipate, it seemed.
Judging from Yuanshi Tianzun's various previous behaviors, and combined with his understanding of Yuanshi Tianzun, colluding with outsiders was something the other party could truly do.
He had to be on guard...
Almost simultaneously.
Nuwa was also deep in thought, pondering the analysis by the blogger "Xiao Jiu Xuantian".
In "Xiao Jiu Xuantian's" analysis, she was currently in a dangerous situation of being "besieged on all sides".
Firstly, because she had previously dispatched Jin Ning to the lower realm to assist the Fengyun Sect in rebellion, her Human Luck had greatly declined, and at the same time, she was impacted by the rise of the Human Emperor, ensuring her luck would inevitably decline further and further in the future.
Secondly, because as the various Saints and Quasi-Sages preached, the number of Demon Race on the Primordial Continent who would believe in her, the Demon Emperor of the Demon Race, would surely become fewer and fewer, and her luck would likewise decline further and further.
To consolidate her status and luck, Nuwa should improve her relationship with the Human Race and the Human Emperor, consolidate her status as the Holy Mother of the Human Race, and at the same time form an alliance with other Saints to consolidate her base.
Of the eight Saints of Honghuang, the Dao Ancestor was high above, Houtu could not leave the Underworld, and coupled with the Witch-Demon Feud, it was impossible for the two sides to form an alliance.
Yuanshi Tianzun viewed the Demon Race as "egg-born and wet-hatched" beasts and had always looked down upon the Demon Race.
The Western Two Sages also looked down upon the Demon Race; although it was not as obvious as Yuanshi Tianzun, within Buddhism, the Demon Race were either Outer Disciples, guardian Divine Beasts, or even mounts for the disciples, and their status was generally not high.
Therefore, neither Yuanshi nor the Western Two Sages could become her trusted allies.
As for Laozi.
Laozi was non-action-oriented, and he was also in a competitive relationship with her regarding Human Luck, so he would not work either.
Only Tongtian Jiaozhu remained.
Firstly, Tongtian Jiaozhu taught without discrimination, and most of his disciples were of the Demon Race, which gave him a natural alliance relationship with her.
Secondly, Tongtian Jiaozhu had a straightforward personality, unlike Laozi, Yuanshi, and the Western Two Sages who had so many schemes, so she could safely form an alliance.
At the same time, Tongtian Jiaozhu possessed the Immortal Execution Sword formation, which could not be broken without four Saints.
As long as she joined forces with Tongtian, she could remain in an invincible position in any matter.
Nuwa admitted that this "Xiao Jiu Xuantian" analysis was very logical, but she had always disliked fighting and only wanted to live her own quiet life, so she had a natural resistance to forming alliances.
Furthermore, having to take the initiative to seek out Tongtian Jiaozhu was something she could do even less.
Suddenly, a look of surprise flashed in Nuwa's eyes. She discovered that Tongtian Jiaozhu had arrived at Wahuang Heaven, so she vanished directly from Zhaoge.
Wahuang Heaven.
Nuwa's true self silently merged into her Clone.
Afterward, she took the initiative to leave the palace to welcome him, smiling slightly at Tongtian Jiaozhu, who was riding the wind: "Third Senior Brother is a rare guest. Now that the Investiture of the Gods is in full swing, do you not need to hold down the fort in Honghuang?"
Tongtian Jiaozhu bowed and said: "It is precisely because the Investiture of the Gods is in full swing that this poor Daoist has come to disturb Junior Sister."
"Oh. Please, come in."
Nuwa's heart stirred, and she gestured with her right hand.
The two entered the palace and sat cross-legged on their respective Cloud Beds.
Tongtian Jiaozhu had a straightforward personality and did not beat around the bush, saying directly: "Junior Sister, this poor Daoist has come to seek your help, hoping that if there is a need in the future, you can lend a hand. For however many times you act for this poor Daoist, this poor Daoist will act for you the same number of times in the future."
Nuwa frowned.
Please... you... bookmark 6... 9... the book...!
Although Tongtian Jiaozhu coming to her door could be considered as exactly what she wanted.
But regarding forming an alliance, she was still somewhat reluctant.
The Demon Race in the Outer Starry Sky was her base, and she was also the Holy Mother of the Human Race, so her luck could not possibly be low.
Even though her fortune has greatly declined now, she still enjoys the most fortune among all the Saints.
Precisely because of this, she has little interest in the matter of contending for fortune.
Although "Little Nine Xuantian" analyzes things with some reason, it is only with some reason.
Seeing that Nuwa remained silent for a long time, Tongtian Jiaozhu knew her character and feared she was unwilling to participate in the vortex of the Investiture of the Gods; furthermore, since it was the Three Pure Ones and the Western Two Sages who had joined forces to drive the Demon Race out of Honghuang, Nuwa likely still held a grudge.
This time, as he contended with Yuanshi Tianzun, Nuwa might even be gloating over his misfortune.
Yet, he had to win Nuwa over.
Thus, he said: "During the Investiture of the Gods, if Junior Sister helps this poor Daoist once, not only am I willing to act for you once in the future, but I am also willing to offer one Superior Innate Spiritual Treasure each time."
To move Nuwa, Tongtian Jiaozhu was prepared to pay a heavy price.
Sure enough, Nuwa's eyes lit up upon hearing this, but after thinking for a moment, she still said: "Third Senior Brother, this matter requires further consideration from this poor Daoist; I will reply to you later."
Although Tongtian Jiaozhu was somewhat disappointed, he could only nod and say: "Very well."
………
Zhaoge.
Imperial Palace.
Zichen Hall.
Yin Qi was handling state affairs when the voice of Immortal Tomb suddenly sounded in his mind: "Master, Nuwa has sent a message."
"Oh!"
Yin Qi looked up, somewhat surprised.
Since they first met, Nuwa had never once taken the initiative to send him a message.
He took out the Mobile Phone belonging to "Chen Nan".
Nuwa: Is there any progress on the matter you are handling?
Yin Qi: No progress yet, is there something the matter?
Nuwa: I just scrolled past a video, I will share it with you, take a look first.
Subsequently, Yin Qi received the shared video.
"Little Nine Xuantian", one of the accounts created by Immortal Tomb.
Yin Qi could not help but chuckle.
He clicked and watched it once, then replied: Finished watching.
Nuwa: What do you think?
Yin Qi: I think it makes quite a lot of sense; back during the Witch-Demon War, if Saint Mother had been able to befriend one or two Saints, the Demon Race would not have been driven to the desolate Outer Starry Sky.
At any time, fighting alone is not feasible.
However, it is also fortunate that Saint Mother likes to fight alone, otherwise there would not be the Human Race of today. (End of this chapter)
