150: Chapter 150: The Alliance Between Humans and Witches! The Secret to the Birth of the Primordial Spirit!
At this moment, Houtu looked up at Ye Xuan and spoke slowly.
"Fellow Daoist Human Emperor, I am willing to abandon my True Body as an Ancestral Witch and incarnate into Reincarnation. However, my heart remains with the Wu Race. The survival of the Wu Race depends on the Twelve Capital Divine Gods Formation. This Formation requires the Twelve Ancestral Witches to maintain it together. If I fall, the Formation will become incomplete."
Houtu described the current situation of the Honghuang World: "The Yao Race possesses the Zhou Tian Star Formation, and the Demon Heavenly Court gathers the power of the stars in the sky. If the Wu Race loses its complete Formation, it will be unable to condense the phantom of Pangu and will be unable to contend with the Yao Race. I will surely be destroyed in the future struggle for hegemony. I would save the common people of the world, but I would harm all of my kin."
Houtu fell into a dilemma.
The battle between righteousness and the responsibility to her race raged in her heart, and she felt great pain.
Ye Xuan looked at Houtu's expression and understood her concerns.
He spoke calmly, offering his bargaining chip.
"You do not need to worry excessively." Ye Xuan pointed to the six paths of reincarnation disk floating in the air. "I possess this six paths of reincarnation disk. It can serve as the core item for establishing Reincarnation, has the function of suppressing the Luck of Reincarnation, and can bear the vast majority of the pressure from the Heavenly Dao."
Ye Xuan stated his plan: "I have a way to preserve your life. In the process of establishing Reincarnation, your True Body as an Ancestral Witch indeed needs to be abandoned. However, I still have a way to protect your True Spirit from being extinguished. After you establish Reincarnation, you will still be able to survive."
Ye Xuan explained the method of survival in detail: "You will exist in another way. You will become Empress Pingxin, obtain the status of a Saint of the Earthly Dao, and hold the supreme power of the Netherworld. You will possess invincible strength within the boundaries of the Netherworld. Even if a Saint enters the Netherworld, they will not be your match. You can transfer the elite of the Wu Race into the Netherworld and preserve a precious seed for the Wu Race there."
Ye Xuan paused for a moment and proposed the basis for cooperation between the two sides: "At the same time, the Human Race will also participate in the management affairs of the Netherworld. The Human Race will occupy core seats in the Netherworld. The Human Race and the Wu Race will form a solid alliance, jointly hold the right to speak on life and death and Reincarnation, and jointly resist the threat of the Demon Heavenly Court."
Hearing these words from Ye Xuan, a bright light shone in Houtu's eyes.
This plan perfectly solved her dilemma.
She could establish Reincarnation to save all living beings, and she could also survive to protect the Wu Race.
...
The temple was very quiet, and Ye Xuan's words echoed in the great hall.
Houtu sat on the throne, carefully weighing the plan Ye Xuan had proposed.
This plan indeed solved her life-and-death dilemma, and the concept of establishing the Netherworld was also grand, but she raised a question about one of the details.
Immediately, Houtu became curious about the alliance between the Human Race and the Wu Race proposed by Ye Xuan.
She could not help but ask: "Human Emperor, why do you think the Human Race is qualified to form an alliance with the Wu Race?"
Houtu stated her true thoughts: "The Wu Race inherits its Legacy from Father God Pangu, rules over the vast Honghuang World, and not only possesses the Twelve Ancestral Witches but also countless warriors. The Human Race was born only recently, its current territory is limited to the surroundings of Mount Buzhou, and its overall strength is relatively weak. If the Wu Race forms an alliance with the Human Race, the Wu Race will not gain any practical benefits."
Houtu's tone was calm; she did not mean to look down on the Human Race, but was merely stating an objective fact.
In the Honghuang World, an alliance requires equal strength, and the current foundation of the Human Race is indeed incomparable to that of the Wu Race.
Regarding this, Ye Xuan was very confident and indifferent.
He stood in place, his expression calm, and in the face of the Ancestral Witch's questioning, he displayed extremely strong confidence.
"Fellow Daoist Houtu's concerns are reasonable. Looking at the current strength on paper, the Human Race is indeed inferior to the Wu Race. However, an alliance values future potential and whether both sides can complement each other."
Ye Xuan explained, "The Human Race possesses extremely strong reproductive capabilities, and as an Innate Dao Body, its cultivation speed is extremely fast. These are the advantages of the Human Race, but the biggest bargaining chip for my proposal of an alliance does not lie here."
Ye Xuan looked into Houtu's eyes and revealed a bombshell piece of information: "When the Human Race and the Wu Race combine, there is a fifty percent chance of birthing a Wu Race member who possesses a Primordial Spirit."
This sentence was not long, but it had a huge impact when heard by Houtu.
Upon hearing this, Houtu's expression changed drastically, and she stood up abruptly: "What did you just say? How can such a thing exist?"
Houtu asked repeatedly, her breathing becoming somewhat rapid.
One must know that although the Physical Body of the Wu Race is extremely powerful, the lack of a Primordial Spirit is a huge flaw.
The Wu Race was transformed from pangu essence blood, naturally possessing a powerful Physical Body capable of tearing apart Great Demons with bare hands and manipulating the Laws of heaven and earth elements.
However, without a Primordial Spirit, it means the Wu Race cannot deduce the secrets of Heaven, cannot predict danger in advance, and cannot use most Innate Spirit Treasures, having to rely solely on the Physical Body to fight.
In the Honghuang World, which emphasizes conforming to the Heavenly Dao and comprehending Laws, the lack of a Primordial Spirit is a huge disadvantage.
As the general trend of the Honghuang World progresses, various Formations and Spells emerge one after another, and the Wu Race often suffers greatly when facing those powerful beings who possess a Primordial Spirit.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches had always tried to solve this problem, attempting various methods, but they were never able to Cultivate a Primordial Spirit within the bodies of the Wu Race.
This was regarded as a restriction placed by the Heavenly Dao on the Physical Body of the Wu Race.
Now, Ye Xuan actually claimed that the Human Race could make up for this defect.
If combining with the Human Race could make up for this defect, then for the Wu Race, it would absolutely be a heaven-sent fortune.
If the Wu Race possessed a Primordial Spirit, they would not only be able to retain their original advantages in their Physical Body, but they would also be able to Cultivate Primordial Spirit Spells and use various Magic Treasures.
At that time, the overall strength of the Wu Race would undergo a qualitative leap, and they might even be able to completely crush the Demon Heavenly Court.
Houtu looked at Ye Xuan, still somewhat incredulous in her expression: "Human Emperor, this matter is of great importance. The Bloodline of the Wu Race is extremely overbearing, and other races simply cannot withstand it. Forcing a combination would result in the offspring dying from their bodies exploding. The Physical Body of the Human Race is not outstanding; how can it combine with the Wu Race? Let alone birthing offspring that possess a Primordial Spirit?"
Houtu raised her own doubts; she needed concrete evidence.
Ye Xuan then said: "Fellow Daoist Houtu, you can first let a portion of the Wu Race from the Houtu Tribe combine with our Human Race. It won't take much time to prove whether it is true or false."
Ye Xuan stated the specific method of operation: "The Human Race was molded by Saint Nuwa using the Law of Creation, and it contains the vitality of creation within its body. The Bloodline of the Human Race has extremely strong inclusivity and can neutralize the violent factors in the Bloodline of the Wu Race. You can select some Wu Race warriors, and I will arrange for some Human Race women to form families with them. It only takes ten months for the Human Race to gestate offspring, which is extremely short for us. After the children are born, you can personally investigate whether a Primordial Spirit exists within their bodies. At that time, the truth will naturally be revealed."
Upon hearing this, Houtu thought about it and still agreed.
Ten months is indeed very short; a single seclusion of the Wu Race often lasts for hundreds or thousands of years.
Using this amount of time to verify a possibility that concerns the fate of the Wu Race was a very worthwhile deal.
If Ye Xuan was lying, the Wu Race would have no losses; if what Ye Xuan said was true, the Wu Race would welcome an unlimited future.
"Fine, I agree to you." Houtu nodded in agreement, "I will personally select one hundred Wu Race warriors and let them go to the Human Race territory to follow your arrangements. If ten months later, a Wu Race member possessing a Primordial Spirit is truly born, the Wu Race will forever remember the kindness of the Human Race. The Wu Race will form the most solid alliance with the Human Race, and I will also hand over the core seats of the Netherworld with both hands."
Ye Xuan revealed a satisfied expression: "Fellow Daoist Houtu has made a wise choice. In ten months, I will give you a satisfactory result."
Ye Xuan knew very well in his heart that the mixed-blood of Humans and Wus are called "Wu-Human".
Wu-Humans not only inherit the powerful Physical Body of the Wu Race but also inherit the Primordial Spirit and cultivation talent of the Human Race.
The Great Witch Chiyou of later generations is a representative figure among them.
Regarding this matter, he had absolute certainty.
