Chapter 86: Emperor Jun Entrusts His Orphanage, Two Saints Block the Road

  The people present saw Hou Yi transform into Wu Gang and head to the Taiyin star, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Even Emperor Jun and Xihe, who had a vendetta against Hou Yi for killing their son, had a slight decrease in the hatred on their faces.

  Hou Yi lived with his loved one under the same roof every day, but she hated him and didn't like him. For Hou Yi, that was a great deal of suffering. Moreover, peeling the laurel tree wasn't an easy task either. Every day, he had to ensure he got enough forgetfulness water while also constantly ensuring the laurel tree's vitality wouldn't be affected. It was a difficult balance to strike. Every day, he also had to endure the invasion of the laurel tree's extremely yin and cold energy, which could be said to have tormented both his mind and body.

  The people present no longer lingered, and after a brief conversation, they left one after another. However, the rumor spread like wildfire in the Jianghu world: the former Moon Goddess Changxi and the current Human Tribe's Chang'e were actually the same person. The two men, Dong Huang Taiyi of the Demon Tribe and Hou Yi of the Witch Tribe, who was about to be promoted to Ancestor Witch within a hundred years, fought a great battle for love. Chang'e almost died at the hands of her former lover Dong Huang Taiyi while trying to save her new love Hou Yi. Now, the two are imprisoned in the Moon Palace on the Taiyin Star.

  Apart from this version, there are numerous other versions. For example, Hou Yi's horizontal knife steals love, Chang'e serves two husbands, and the most outrageous one says that Taiyi is incompetent, and Chang'e, feeling lonely, elopes with Hou Yi of the Wu tribe. Hou Yi, in order to avenge himself against Donghuang Taiyi, does not hesitate to lower his status and transform into a small white face, getting close to Chang'e's side in order to extract some demonic intelligence. And so on, a series of versions, spread by the billions of living beings in the Primordial Chaos, there are only versions you can't think of, no version you haven't heard of.

  The two tribes of witches and demons had previously refrained from commenting to dispel the rumors, hoping that time would clarify the truth. However, as the situation developed, the rumors spread more and more excessively. The two tribes of witches and demons, who had rarely joined forces since their massacre of humans, took action against those who started these excessive rumors. The chaotic world was once again plunged into a storm of blood and rain.

  In the Western Kunlun, the Queen Mother of the West is now in high spirits. The bloody storms and rains that are currently raging in the Primordial Chaos can be said to have been calculated by the Queen Mother. As for Chang'e wanting to live forever, it's quite simple - just let her cultivate to the Heavenly Immortal realm. It can be said that without any external factors, she can almost achieve eternal youth and longevity, remaining young and ageless.

  The Queen Mother of the West was delighted that she had outwitted both the Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Hou Yi, as well as the two tribes of witches and sorcerers, who had all lost face. But when she thought about her current solitary state, no longer possessing the power and prestige she once had, her mood began to sink, and her earlier excitement dissipated into thin air.

  The turmoil was finally subsiding a hundred years later under the joint efforts of the two witch tribes, as if nothing had happened. The two witch tribes began to resume their standoff and started training troops for the decisive battle between witches in a thousand years.

  After that, Emperor Jun took the Golden Crow and the Ten Princes to run a lap outside the Hunyuan Tian Wahuang Palace, and when they arrived at the gate of the Wahuang Palace, there was Jin Feng, the maid of Nüwa, who came to greet them. Although Jin Feng's strength is much weaker than that of Emperor Jun and others, as Nüwa's mount, Jin Feng represents Nüwa's dignity to some extent, so Emperor Jun did not dare to be rude.

  Di Jun said to Jin Feng Xian Zi: "Di Jun has seen Jin Feng Xian Zi, please convey my greetings to the Queen." Jin Feng also bowed to Di Jun and said: "Jin Feng has seen Your Majesty, the Queen already knows the purpose of the Demon Emperor's visit. She ordered me to come and welcome you. Please follow me."

  Di Jun said, "I've troubled the immortal so much, please lead the way." Then Di Jun followed Jin Feng into the great hall of Nuwa Palace and saw Nüwa opening her eyes on a cloud bed.

  Di Jun hastily paid his respects to Nüwa, saying: "I, Di Jun, have come to pay my respects to you, Nüwa. I wish you a thousand blessings and golden peace. At present, our tribe is on the verge of a great war with the Wu tribe. I have no other concerns except for one child, who is the only remaining offspring of my union with Xihe. He is not yet deeply rooted in his spiritual practice and has a shallow temperament, often stirring up trouble. My wife and I fear that he may come to harm during this great calamity. We hope that you will look upon him with favor due to our shared heritage as members of the same tribe, and protect his life. My wife and I would be eternally grateful."

  Di Jun finished speaking and had the Tenth Prince kneel down to pay his respects to Nüwa. The Tenth Prince knelt down and said, "Xiao Shi pays his respects to Nüwa Niangniang, wishing Niangniang a long and sacred life." However, despite his words, the Tenth Prince's nervousness still occasionally showed through, and after finishing speaking, he hid behind Di Jun once again.

  Nüwa heard Emperor Jun's words and was perplexed. Nüwa knew that Xihe had given birth to ten golden crows for Emperor Jun, but why only one crown prince remained now? Nüwa inquired about the information of the Golden Crow through the Heavenly Way and found that the heavenly secrets about the Golden Crow Crown Prince had been concealed.

  At this time, the matter had already occurred, and the master had come to the front of Nüwa Niangniang. The smoke that was originally used to cover up the heavenly machine was instantly dispersed under the attack of Nüwa Niangniang's red embroidered ball, and Nüwa Niangniang suddenly understood the cause and effect. Nüwa Niangniang's expression then showed a look of sudden realization.

  Di Jun noticed Nüwa's changing expression and couldn't help but ask, "I wonder if you know who is behind this plot against our demon tribe?" Nüwa said, "It's not important who specifically did it now. What's important is how you will lead the demon tribe to overcome this disaster."

  Nüwa didn't say who was behind the scenes, but Nüwa looked at the Western Wilderness. The one who planned all this is obviously Xi Fang Jie Yin and Zhun Ti Er Sheng. However, Di Jun was also helpless, what can you do when the other side has already become a saint?

  Nüwa saw Di Jun silently and suddenly said, "Xiao Shi is in my palace, you can rest assured that I will help him through this disaster. If he wants to leave me in the future, I won't stop him." After finishing speaking, Nüwa also let Jin Feng take the tenth prince out of the main hall and settle him down elsewhere.

  Di Jun bid farewell to Nüwa after a brief conversation, as the great war between the witches and the demons was approaching. As the Demon Emperor of the demon clan, he still had many things to attend to, and this time, for the sake of his own children, he had accumulated some official business that had not been dealt with.

  Nüwa watched as Dìjūn departed, and suddenly felt a wave of weakness. As a goddess, how could she not protect her own people? Was she really the weakest among the gods? For the first time since becoming a goddess, Nüwa felt that even gods were not all-powerful, and only strength was truly reliable.

  Wuji, who was in seclusion in the midst of chaos, woke up from his state of cultivation. Wuji's body was in the midst of chaos, unable to grasp the heavenly mechanism, but he clearly sensed that there were still some things he had not dealt with properly.

  Wuji now sees that in the vast wilderness world, there is a phenomenon where outside the vast wilderness world, one can see that on the periphery of the vast wilderness world, a layer of black air has condensed above the vast and desolate land. Wuji understands that this should be a sign of the impending arrival of the quantitative calamity.

  Wuji returned to the Primordial Chaos and came to Mount Suyang's Tushita Palace, where he met with the Taichu Sage. He then stayed at the palace, occasionally giving lectures on the Dao to the four women, occasionally refining elixirs, and quietly waiting for the arrival of the Great Calamity of Witches and Demons. Notably, Xuandu Daoren would also occasionally come to listen in on Wuji's lectures.

  Wuji sat at the top of Shouyang Mountain, watching the changes in the vast and desolate world. Day and night alternated. As the 100,000 years set by the ancestor of the Honghuang Dao approached, the Wu tribe led the lower tribes to gather on the plain at the foot of Mount Buzhou, while the Yao tribe continuously descended from the South Heavenly Gate in the heavenly realm to Mount Buzhou, and arrayed their formations on the plain. Both sides were waiting for the arrival of time.

  Wuji suddenly felt sympathetic towards the demonic tribes of Di Jun, Taiyi and others, as well as the witch tribe of the Twelve Ancestors. Both sides knew that humans would eventually become a strong competitor to both the demon and witch tribes. Although humans were currently weak, they had the backing of the Six Great Sages of the Primordial Wilderness.

  Even though Nüwa is a member of the demon tribe, humans are also created by Nüwa and can be said to be her children. At most, they are caught between humans and demons with no help from either side. However, behind humans are the Five Saints and Wújí, which explains why humans exist in the Primordial Chaos.

  The major movement between the two tribes of witches and demons has been heard by all in the vast wilderness, and the great masters of the wilderness are looking forward to the performance of the two tribes in this catastrophe. However, there are very few existences that can stand outside the two tribes of witches and demons, only those with strong self or powerful backers can stand outside this catastrophe.

  At this time, two guests suddenly arrived at the Queen of Wa Palace, intercepting Nuwa who was originally preparing to go to the battlefield. Nuwa looked at the visitors and said: "I don't know what brings you, Daoyou Jie and Daoyou Zhun, to my Queen of Wa Palace?"

  Jieyin Saint and Zhunti Saint said: "Jieyin, Zhunti have met Nüwa Shijie before. This time we two came indeed after our last discussion on the Tao, it has been nearly ten thousand years since we saw each other. In recent years, we two have gained some insights, hoping to exchange with Nüwa Shijie." After finishing speaking, the two of them blocked the exit of the Palace of Nüwa like door gods, sitting cross-legged on either side and expounding their own great Tao.

  Nüwa saw the two saints like this, although angry but also helpless, her face showed an angry expression, but if you observe carefully, you would find that there was a hint of sharp light in Nüwa's eyes. Then Nüwa had no choice but to discuss Tao with the two saints, only the three people present were obviously absent-minded, their minds had long followed their own divine thoughts and arrived at the top of the witch demon battlefield, watching the progress of the great battle.

  They suddenly saw several familiar divine thoughts in the sky above the Witch Battlefield, which were the divine thoughts of Sanqing Saint and Wujie. However, this time everyone knew each other's existence, but they all pretended not to know each other, and no one paid attention to anyone else. In addition, some powerful gods from the Hongyuan also gathered their divine thoughts here, closely monitoring the progress of the war.

  At this time, the two tribes of witches and goblins had made their final preparations, deployed their formations, and were on the verge of a major battle. The entire strength of both tribes was gathered at the foot of Mount Taihua, forming a vast plain that seemed to be teeming with ants as far as the eye could see. The situation between the two sides was extremely tense, ready to erupt at any moment.
