Chapter 878 - 449: Chang Xi Takes the Throne, Houtu "Explodes with Thunder" (4)
Above Chang Xi's head, a magnificently luxurious, incredibly radiant Qi Fortune Canopy rapidly took shape, as if woven from billions of stars.
On that canopy, the coolness of the Taiyin Star and the heat of the Sun Star intertwined, transforming into Yin Yang Fish, slowly rotating.
The brilliance of countless stars hung down from the edge of the canopy like a Yingluo, emitting supreme majesty and holiness.
This newly born Qi Fortune Canopy made Chang Xi on the Emperor's Throne appear extraordinarily dignified, inviolably holy, like a true Empress mastering the order of heaven and earth.
[If nurturing the Heavenly Emperor fails, then I'll do it myself!]
Thereafter, Chang Xi, seated on the throne, began issuing decrees, reconstructing the order of the Heavenly Realm.
~~~~
Outer Heaven Chaos.
The earth-shattering sound from Buzhou Mountain, like the ultimate cessation, brought the fierce battle between Wang Shu and Houtu to an abrupt halt.
Wang Shu sheathed the Wang Shu Sword, her cold gaze deeply fixed on Houtu, whose expression was complex across from her.
She did not say much, only leaving one meaningful comment.
"Take care of yourself."
Having said that, she no longer considered Houtu. Her form flickered, transforming into a beam of pure moonlight, directly entering the boiling Space-Time River, to rescue the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds suffering from disaster.
Only Houtu remained, quietly hovering in place, her gaze penetrating endless Chaos, observing the dust-settled Primordial battle situation.
After a long while, she let out an utterly helpless sigh.
"It's over... it's really completely over now."
What Houtu lamented over at this moment was not the Witch Clan's eventual failure to attack heaven.
The Heavenly Realm's transitional war ultimately closed with mutual destruction and grievous outcomes; although the process was somewhat beyond her expectations, the result was generally within her acceptable range.
What she truly lamented was the six Saints and the Cycle Deities, each incarnating into many, beginning large-scale and in-depth rescue operations into various timelines, striving to save the All Heavens and Ten Thousand Worlds enduring suffering.
To save all beings, of course, is an act of infinite merit; it is absolutely right in itself.
But the problem is, when everyone rescues those worlds and beings, they're sure to discover some... other things along the way.
For example, the developmental veins of these diverse and multicolored worlds often were evolved based on those myth scripts created by her, the "Storybook Immortal."
And among these scripts, inevitably, are numerous taboo contents she secretly added in for "artistic creation."
These include but aren't limited to, those sweet and bitter romances that those six high-above Saints experience in different worlds and different backgrounds.
In the past, under the guise of the "Hundred No Taboo Order," Houtu secretly conducted "script transactions" with those deities and Great Powers who wished to experience different lives.
Everyone signed contracts individually; once the scripts were in hand, no further responsibility, each evolving, clean and clear of cause and effect.
As long as those deities, in the vast Space-Time River, created an unknown branch line themselves and went about it quietly without much fanfare, basically, no one would manage them.
But this time, it was completely different.
This time, everyone entered the field together to save the world, delving deeply into major timelines, inevitably seeing each other's... one could call them "black history" plots she concocted in other worlds.
This means her scripts filled with taboo content will no longer be hidden, will get thoroughly and completely exposed to everyone...
The thought of those six Saints, and the expressions they might show upon seeing their "love stories" being fabricated, gave Houtu a tingling scalp.
"Under current circumstances, we can only take another path to divert attention and settle the cause and effect."
Seeing Wu Luo ultimately choosing to lead the Witch Clan camp to voluntarily withdraw from the Heavenly Realm, a sigh of relief escaped Houtu's tightly held heart.
She nodded gently in Wu Luo's direction, transmitting, "Daoist, from here on, I leave the Witch Clan and that Pangu Hall to your care."
Having said this, Houtu hesitated no longer, turned around, and with a single step, her form instantly returned to the Primordial True Realm.
She did not go to Buzhou Mountain, nor did she return to the Heavenly Realm, but instead directly descended upon the shore of the Blood Sea, which eternally churned with endless karma and evil qi.
She stood above the Blood Sea, dignified in appearance, her expression solemn, and a grand will filled with infinite compassion instantly spread across the entire Primordial Heaven and Earth.
"Now, the Heavenly Pillar shakes, causing disasters across Ten Thousand Worlds; countless infinite creatures are adrift in a boundless sea of suffering, unable to gain release."
"I, Houtu, feel the incompleteness of Primordial Reincarnation, and the Yin Yang order is unclear, unable to truly enlighten all beings and relieve their plights."
"Thus, on this day, I vow by my Ancestor Witch True Body to complete the Six Paths of Reincarnation, so as to alleviate the suffering of all beings and balance the calamities of heaven and earth!"
"All deities of heaven and infinite creatures, bear witness to this!"
Houtu's grand and resolute vow echoed, like the Great Dao's discourse, clearly throughout every corner of the Primordial True Realm.
Within and outside the Primordial, all divine entities cast their gaze towards the churning shore of the Blood Sea.
Above the Blood Sea, Houtu's form began to radiate infinite divine light.
That radiance bore the depth and vastness of the Ancestor Witch, also accompanied by an unprecedented, transcending the racial, supreme compassion.
She slowly opened her arms, as if to embrace the entire world.
Then, her powerful Ancestor Witch True Body, which was considered immortal and undying, began to cave inwards, decomposing and evolving.
Her will and the Great Dao coalesced into those massive, profound, slowly revolving wheels that maintained the entire cycle — six deep and immense wheels.
Heavenly Human Dao, Human World Dao, Asura Path, Beast Dao, Hungry Ghost Dao, Hell Dao.
The Six Paths of Reincarnation, formed here!
At the moment the Six Paths of Reincarnation completely stabilized, the entire Primordial World quaked fiercely.
Above the Nine Heavens Cloud Dome, an endless surge of Xuanhuang Merit Qi, like a breach in the Heavenly River, came pouring down wildly.
The newly formed Human Dao and Earth Dao gathered endless merit.
The golden ocean of merit almost entirely filled the sky above the Blood Sea.
All deities acknowledged, all beings sensed.
Bathed and sanctified in the infinite merit golden light, a brand-new, incomparably holy silhouette slowly stepped out from the core of Reincarnation.
She still bore Houtu's likeness, but the barbarism and evil qi of the Ancestor Witch had already completely faded.
Replaced by a supreme sanctity and detachment, mastering life and death, balancing Yin Yang.
She spoke slowly to the heaven and earth beings, her voice calm yet authoritative.
"The Six Dao Wheels are out; Houtu is no longer a Witch!"
"I am Ping Xin, and henceforth shall eternally guard the Netherworld, master Reincarnation, to bring peace to wandering souls."
With these words, all the deities of heaven praised:
"Lady Ping Xin's compassion!"
This feeling of admiration persisted until they discovered those "forbidden storybooks" about themselves while saving the world...
