NIP Chapter 361 A Sincere Request! Preserving the Bloodline
Chapter 361 A Sincere Request! Preserving the Bloodline
Niu Ben was slightly surprised to see Pingxin appear.
Previously, Pingxin had always remained quietly in Pingxin Palace, but now she had taken the initiative to appear here.
After a slight hesitation, Niu Ben asked softly:
"Your Highness, what brings you here?"
In Niu Ben's view, if Pingxin didn't have anything important to do, he would never leave Pingxin Palace.
Upon hearing Niu Benyan's question, Consort Pingxin opened her mouth slightly, but did not say anything, as if she was somewhat embarrassed.
"Um?"
Seeing Empress Pingxin's expression, Niu Ben became even more puzzled.
It should be noted that Consort Pingxin rarely exhibits such emotional fluctuations.
After all, having been reincarnated, she had long since abandoned all worldly affairs and become indifferent and fair.
"Could it... be related to the Witch Clan?"
Suddenly, a thought popped into Niu Ben's mind.
In his view, the fact that this could stir up Empress Pingxin's emotions and cause her to show such an unusual expression on her face was most likely related to something concerning the Witch Clan.
After all, the ten suns descending to the mortal realm, scorching Kuafu to death, and then Dayi shooting down the ten suns, were the very trigger for the war between the Lich King and the Demon King.
Not long ago, the Demon Emperor Di Jun even issued a challenge to the Witch Clan.
Ten thousand years later, the demon race and the witch race will fight to the death!
Just as Niu Ben was lost in thought, Consort Pingxin spoke up:
"Fellow Daoist Niu Ben, I have come to see you today because I have a request."
Niu Ben's expression hardened, and he asked aloud:
"But is it related to the witch clan?"
Empress Pingxin nodded and murmured an 'Mmm':
"That's right."
"The demon emperor Di Jun has issued a challenge to the witch clan; ten thousand years from now, the decisive battle between the witches and demons will take place!"
"I know that due to the calamity of heaven and earth, the final battle of the war between the Lich King and the Demon King is inevitable."
"But……"
At this point, Empress Pingxin paused, then turned slightly and looked up in one direction.
That direction leads directly to Buzhou Mountain, where the Wu tribe resides.
As she watched, Consort Pingxin spoke up:
"How should I put it, my previous life was also one of the ancestral witches of the witch clan."
"Though his body has undergone reincarnation, he has escaped the witch clan."
"But how can the blood ties that originated from the father god Pangu, and the brotherly affection he shared with the other ancestral witches over countless years, truly be severed?"
"I have witnessed the rise of the Witch Clan, but now I may have to watch them... head towards destruction."
"I truly couldn't bear it!"
When she said this, Empress Pingxin's tone was filled with deep sorrow and helplessness.
Although she was a saint of the earth, she was an invincible being in this underworld.
However, there is a limitation: it is limited to the underworld.
This is both a rule and a constraint.
Hearing what Pingxin said, Niu Ben narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a solemn expression:
"Your Majesty!"
"In the present day, the primordial world is filled with malevolent energy."
"Both the Lich and Demon races are in calamity, and there is a fear of... annihilation."
Empress Pingxin neither agreed nor disagreed with what Niu Ben said. After nodding slightly, she withdrew her gaze and looked at Niu Ben, saying:
"Fellow Daoist is right."
"In this great calamity, both the demon race and the witch race may be wiped out."
"Fellow Daoist, you have now attained the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, transcending worldly affairs, and even... not bound by the Heavenly Dao!"
"Moreover, he was appointed as a protector of the Xuanmen by the Dao Ancestor Hongjun."
"And your way always seems to find a glimmer of hope in desperate situations."
"so……"
At this point, Consort Pingxin paused, took a deep breath, and then added with pleading eyes:
"Therefore, I hope that you, fellow Daoist, can lend a helping hand in the war between the Lich and the Demon, so as to preserve some bloodlines for the Wu clan."
"Of course, it doesn't need to be much. As long as it leaves the bloodline power for the Witch Clan, it won't change anything."
"I will remember this kindness!"
After hearing what Consort Pingxin said, Niu Ben nodded in agreement without hesitation:
"it is good."
"I promise Your Majesty."
"I will intervene then to preserve a thread of blood for the Wu clan."
Seeing that Niu Ben agreed so readily, Consort Pingxin was somewhat surprised, as she had originally thought that Niu Ben would have some concerns.
After all, the Lich War was an inevitable part of the Great Calamity.
If you rashly intervene, you might incur divine retribution.
After a slight pause, Consort Pingxin came to her senses and looked at Niu Ben with eyes full of gratitude, saying:
"Then thank you very much, fellow Daoist!"
Having said that, Lady Pingxin didn't wait for Niu Ben to say anything more before her figure vanished without a trace.
After Consort Pingxin left, Niu Ben glanced at himself and muttered to himself:
"Is it just about preserving the bloodline?"
Thinking about it, he let out a long sigh and didn't dwell on it any further.
Niu Ben had his own reasons for agreeing so readily.
Despite being the current ruler of the underworld, the true master of this realm of reincarnation is Lady Pingxin.
In Niu Ben's view, by helping the Wu tribe, he could make Lady Pingxin owe him a favor.
You might need this favor in the future.
Besides, Niu Ben didn't have much affection for the demon race to begin with.
The brothers Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, in particular, were extremely arrogant and domineering.
……
Then, the primordial world fell into tranquility.
However, everyone knows that this is just the calm before the storm.
After all, Di Jun's challenge to the Wu Clan to a decisive battle had already spread throughout the prehistoric world.
In preparation for the upcoming decisive battle.
Both the witch clan and the demon clan are actively preparing for war.
On the demon side, they were practicing the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Formation intensively, while also seizing the time to forge weapons to slay witches.
Meanwhile, the Wu tribe was not idle. They were constantly practicing various formations, waiting for Chi You to completely refine the Ancestral Wu Essence Blood.
In this way, the twelve ancestral witches of the witch clan can be complete again, and the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation can exert its greatest power.
Just as both races were making their best preparations, the human race gained a rare period of peace and began to develop rapidly.
Both the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan were preparing for a great war, so they had no time to suppress the Human Clan, which gave the Human Clan a great deal of room to grow stronger.
The characters created by Cangjie enabled the transmission of various kinds of knowledge and experience to the various tribes of the human race more quickly and effectively.
Soon, all the major tribes of the human race grew and prospered.
The many powerful beings of the prehistoric world did not care about this; what they were concerned about was the great war between the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan.
……
Time flies, and before we knew it, many years had passed, and the deadline for the Lich War was drawing ever closer.
Mount Buzhou was the home of the Wu tribe.
Inside the Pangu Temple, Dijiang and the other eleven Ancestral Witches were discussing how to seize the initiative in the final battle.
"boom!"
Just then, a terrifying aura suddenly emanated from the depths of the Pangu Temple.
"Um?"
"This is……"
"It's Chi You!"
The group of ancestral witches were extremely excited and all looked towards Emperor Jiang, the ancestral witch.
At this moment, even the ancestral witch Dijiang was excited, and his breathing became somewhat rapid.
"Chi You succeeded!"
"Come on, let's go take a look!"
Having said that, the Ancestral Witch Dijiang did not delay and took the lead in stepping forward.
Seeing this, Zhu Rong and the other ancestral witches didn't think much of it and quickly followed.
