"But I'm afraid that Gonggong alone may not be enough. Buzhou Mountain is so noble, how can it be repaired by Gonggong alone? I'm afraid more witch essence and blood will be needed."
"Your Majesty also knows this, so he came to me specifically. Otherwise, why would your Majesty need to ask my opinion if he just let Gonggong die?"
Empress Houtu thought for a while and continued.
If only Gonggong could be sacrificed to reshape Mount Buzhou, then there would be no need to wait for outsiders to speak, Gonggong would have done it himself, so why would he have to suffer all the time.
Moreover, Mount Buzhou was also destroyed by Gonggong. For him to sacrifice himself to rebuild Mount Buzhou, there was no need to discuss this matter with Empress Houtu, because the result could not be changed without discussion.
If only one person, Gong Gong, could be sacrificed to reshape Buzhou Mountain, then no one would disagree in the entire prehistoric period. Because in the eyes of outsiders, Gonggong really deserves this fate.
"I can't hide it from my mother-in-law. Mount Buzhou was transformed from the spine of the Great God Pangu. It would be difficult to reshape it just by Gong Gong. Even if I could collect all the fragments of Mount Buzhou, it would be difficult to reshape it." Completely reinvented.”
"That's why we need the help of the Witch Clan at this time. And ordinary Witch Clan is useless, it must be an Ancestral Witch."
"The twelve ancestral witches are all transformed by the blood of the Great God Pangu. If we want to reshape Mount Buzhou, the best choice is to integrate the twelve ancestral witches into it together."
"In this way, after the fragments of Buzhou Mountain absorb the blood essence and blood of the twelve ancestral witches, they will better condense together and reproduce the supreme power of Pangu."
When Jiang Chen said these words, the more he spoke, the lower his voice became.
This matter is indeed a good thing for the prehistoric world, but for the Wu clan, it requires them to sacrifice all their heritage since ancient times. To be honest, if it were Jiang Chen who was Queen Houtu, he would not agree to this matter no matter what.
Nine of the twelve ancestral witches have already died. How can we still collect their essence, blood and origin? For others, this is difficult.
But for Jiang Chen, it was not the case. The witch clan's most precious treasure, the Capital Flag, contains the essence and blood of the fallen ancestral witch. At the same time, this is also the basis for their resurrection.
Now, what Jiang Chen has to do is to use the power that the witch clan plans to use to resurrect the fallen ancestral witches to reshape Mount Buzhou.
This kind of thing is no longer as simple as cutting the flesh of the Witch Clan, but taking their lives.
In order to resurrect the fallen ancestral witches, the witch clan has been accumulating strength since the end of the ancient times. Today, it has accumulated a massive amount of power.
This powerful force is used to cultivate the geniuses in the clan, and it may not be possible to cultivate several Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortals.
With such a powerful force, Jiang Chen wanted the Wu Clan to hand him over at every turn. How could the Wu Clan be willing?
"Reshaping Buzhou Mountain is important. Resurrecting the brothers can wait. But the matter of reshaping Buzhou Mountain must not be delayed. The priority should be to reshape Buzhou Mountain."
"Even if my brothers are still alive, they will agree with my decision. In their hearts, Buzhou Mountain is more important than their own lives."
Just when Jiang Chen was thinking about how to persuade Empress Houtu to agree, she agreed directly without any hesitation.
"Ah this..."
Jiang Chen was stunned at first, and then said with admiration on his face: "Jiang Chen has judged the heart of a gentleman with a villain's heart. The empress is compassionate. How could he hesitate after hearing such a major event that is beneficial to the ancient world? What's more? There will be no blackmail or threats.”
This is the difference between human beings. Empress Houtu is truly compassionate and puts the world and the common people first in her heart. As for Jiang Chen, it cannot be said that he is fake and compassionate, it can only be said that he values interests more.
Even if you do good deeds, you must do good deeds that are beneficial to him. He would never do anything good that harmed his interests unless absolutely necessary.
But even if you only do good things that are beneficial to yourself, it is still a good deed. In front of others, it is okay to call yourself a good person.
But in front of a true saint like Empress Houtu, Jiang Chen's kindness was not enough.
"Your Majesty still places too much emphasis on profit when he acts, but this is not to blame, Your Majesty."
"The current era is like this. The world is corrupt, people's hearts are depraved, interests are more important than anything else, and the atmosphere is far inferior to that in the early days. It is normal for Your Majesty to be affected by this influence since he was born in this world."
Empress Houtu understood Jiang Chen's thoughts. Different eras and different atmospheres would naturally produce different personalities for strong men.
The modern atmosphere is far less simple than when the world first opened. It is normal for people in the world to value profit, because people who do not value profit simply cannot live long in this world.
Unlike the era when the world first opened, even conspiracies and conspiracies were rare. And if you defeat the enemy with intrigues, you will not be admired by others, but will be despised by others.
The people Jiang Chen has come into contact with before are all profit-oriented people. When communicating with others, it is inevitable to have the idea of taking profit-oriented people, otherwise he will not know how he was deceived.
On the contrary, when he met a person like Empress Houtu, who truly cared about the common people, his ideas were a little out of reach.
People are truly compassionate and don't care about gains or losses at all. They would rather suffer losses than benefit the world.
However, Empress Houtu may not care about gains and losses, but Jiang Chen cannot. He must not let Empress Houtu suffer in this matter.
Otherwise, his reputation will be ruined.
When you cooperate with an ally, your ally suffers a big loss, but you get a huge benefit. Isn't this just pure deception? If word spreads, who will dare to cooperate with him in the future?
So, I heard Jiang Chen say: "Madam, after all this is considered, the Wu Clan has not suffered a loss. Please listen to my analysis."
"The power used to resurrect the ancestral witches is used to reshape Buzhou Mountain. It seems that the witch clan has suffered a loss, but it has won the future."
"After all, how can God, the Supreme Lord, let the meritorious ministers of the ancient world suffer? When the time comes, he will definitely give a lot of benefits to the Wu clan."
"Not to mention, the Wu Clan is also favored by the Great God Pangu. This time the Wu Clan reshapes Buzhou Mountain. When the prodigal son turns back, the Great God Pangu will definitely be happy when he sees it, and maybe he will also give the Wu Clan a lot of benefits. .”
"With the benefit of Heavenly Dao and Pangu God, the Wu Clan will certainly pay a high price in order to reshape Buzhou Mountain, but they will get more benefits in the future."
"Just like those fallen ancestral witches, when we resurrect them now, it can be said that there are many obstacles. Even heaven and earth are unwilling to see them resurrected. Therefore, the power required to resurrect them is several times that of a strong person of the same level."
"But as long as the Wu clan has made a huge contribution in reshaping Buzhou Mountain, then from now on, instead of preventing their resurrection, Heavenly Dao will take the initiative to help them to speed up their return."
"Even Buzhou Mountain will give birth to them again and give them a new life in Buzhou Mountain."
Jiang Chen would never do anything that would cause his allies to suffer, so he had already analyzed the pros and cons before coming.
After confirming that the reshaping of Buzhou Mountain would definitely bring more advantages than disadvantages to the Wu Clan, and would never let them suffer a loss, Jiang Chen dared to leave for the Reincarnation Palace.
Otherwise, he wouldn't even come today.
How could Jiang Chen do such a thing by reshaping the ancient world and getting the greatest benefits, but at the expense of his allies?
Even if it was for his own sake, Jiang Chen wouldn't dare to do such a thing. Doing so does seem to be a big advantage, but there are some advantages that cannot be taken advantage of. Whatever you take now, you will pay back twice as much in the future.
These will turn into disasters on the road. Therefore, unless it is an advantage for the enemy, do not take advantage of it. You have to pay it back. If you don't pay it back now, you will have to pay it back in the future.
The reincarnation of cause and effect and unfavorable retribution are a joke in an age of lawlessness. But in the era when Taoism and Dharma are revealed, it is a wise saying. Even if he is as strong as the great god Pangu, he cannot escape.
…
"What your Majesty said makes sense, but who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"
"The protection of heaven is certainly useful, but none of us has the power to defy the heavens. If we really want to destroy it, even if we hide in the Zixiao Palace, it will be useless."
"Putting everything on the way of heaven is itself the way to death."
"So, reshaping Buzhou Mountain will reshape Buzhou Mountain, but the previous agreement cannot be invalidated. After reshaping Buzhou Mountain, Your Majesty must abide by the promise and find a way to resurrect my brothers."
Empress Houtu didn't take Jiang Chen's words seriously. From the time she was born to the present, she had experienced too much and knew that nothing could be trusted, especially the way of heaven. The only thing a monk can rely on is himself.
As long as the protection of heaven is effective, Zu Wu and Taiyi Emperor Jun will not die, Hongyun will not fall, and the East Prince will not die tragically in the East China Sea.
It's not that the protection of heaven is really useless, but there are so many powerful people with heaven-defying power in the ancient times that the protection of heaven is useless.
If the strongest person in the prehistoric times is only in the realm of the innate Taoist, the protection of the Tao of Heaven will be useful, and it is guaranteed that no one can hurt him. But it's a pity that in today's ancient world, there are people with great supernatural powers everywhere, and there are almost hundreds of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortals.
If anyone relies on the protection of heaven and dares to act recklessly, he will die without knowing how.
Therefore, when faced with the pie Jiang Chen drew for her, Empress Houtu took it as a joke and didn't take it to heart at all.
That's not to say that what Jiang Chen said was unreasonable. What he said actually made sense. In theory, if no one stopped it, things should develop as he said.
Unfortunately, a theory is a theory after all, and whether it can be realized is another matter.
In reality, if the ancestral witch is really going to be resurrected, how is it possible that no one can stop it? If you really want to place your hope on the way of heaven, then it is estimated that the ancient world will be destroyed, and the ancestral witch may not be able to be resurrected.
After all, the hope of resurrecting the ancestral witch still lies with Jiang Chen. Therefore, Empress Houtu only needs to hold on to the previous agreement, hold on to Jiang Chen, and force him to resurrect the ancestral witch.
Heaven's guarantee is not as useful as Jiang Chen's guarantee.
"The truth is the same. The empress cannot believe in the way of heaven, so just think of reshaping Buzhou Mountain this time as one of my means to resurrect the ancestral witch."
After thinking about it, Jiang Chen changed his explanation.
Using the power of resurrecting the ancestral witch to reshape Mount Buzhou will undoubtedly make it much simpler to resurrect the ancestral witch.
Although a lot of power has been lost over this time, it has become easier to resurrect the ancestral witch. The power saved is much more than what was spent now. Overall, it is actually a profit.
Therefore, Jiang Chen's explanation made sense.
"It would be best to take this opportunity to resurrect my brother. If not, it is more important to resurrect Buzhou Mountain. Fortunately, when Buzhou Mountain collapsed, the other brothers had already died."
"Otherwise, if they see Buzhou Mountain destroyed at the hands of the Wu Clan, I really don't know if they can withstand this blow."
"Before they are resurrected, it is actually a good thing to reshape Mount Buzhou."
The Twelve Ancestral Witches share the same mind and understand each other's personalities very well. Queen Houtu certainly knew the thoughts of the other brothers. Between resurrecting herself and reshaping Buzhou Mountain, they would definitely choose the latter.
If after they are resurrected, they learn that they can reshape Buzhou Mountain by sacrificing themselves, then they will definitely sacrifice themselves without hesitation.
It was precisely because she knew the thoughts of the other ancestral witches that Queen Houtu made this decision. Otherwise, no matter how kind-hearted Queen Houtu is, she will never be able to make decisions for the other ancestral witches.
She can sacrifice herself, but not others.
"Is there anything else you can do?"
Seeing that Jiang Chen had finished talking and had no intention of leaving, it was not difficult for Empress Houtu to guess that he had other purposes for staying here.
"Reshaping Buzhou Mountain will inevitably lead to an attack by the Chaos Demon God. So before that, I plan to try the Chaos Demon God's level and accumulate some power to reshape Buzhou Mountain."
Jiang Chen stated his purpose and prepared for the Chaos Demon God to weigh their abilities.
"Are you going to the endless abyss?"
Queen Houtu asked. In the great wilderness, the only place where the existence of the Chaos Demon God can be clearly confirmed is the endless abyss beneath the Netherworld.
Jiang Chen said here that he wanted to weigh the Chaos Demon God. The purpose was self-evident. He must have wanted to take a look at the Endless Abyss.
If Jiang Chen dared to make such a request normally, Empress Houtu would definitely refuse without hesitation. Because the endless abyss is the biggest secret and foundation of the Wu clan, she is not even allowed to step into it according to the will of heaven, let alone Jiang Chen.
But at this moment, facing Jiang Chen's request, Empress Houtu hesitated briefly and then agreed.
Because she couldn't refuse, Jiang Chen was now the de facto Emperor of Heaven, and the entire wild world, including the endless abyss, was under his jurisdiction.
Jiang Chen could have gone directly without saying hello, but he did not do so. Instead, he asked Empress Houtu for her permission first. This is to give Empress Houtu face, and Empress Houtu cannot refuse without knowing what is good or bad.
"Your Majesty, please come with me!"
Knowing that she couldn't stop Jiang Chen, Empress Houtu asked him and took him to the endless abyss.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Jiang Chen thanked her and followed Empress Houtu towards the back of the Reincarnation Hall.
