According to Fu Xi's initial plan, the Qilin were to bear the heavens and the earth, ultimately becoming part of the Da Luo Dao Fruit, thereby seizing the opportunity to touch the Da Luo opportunity and prove the Dao to transcendence.

As it stands, this plan is halfway complete.

The Five Elements Qilin Kings have indeed transformed along with Nuwa's growth, becoming part of the Da Luo Dao Fruit.

However, they have not yet fully emerged from the influence of the Nuwa Dao and cannot completely transcend from the Mountain and Sea World.

This has led to the current awkward situation—withdrawal would mean the initial investments sink, but if they don't withdraw, who knows how many years it will take to prove the Dao to transcendence.

"Perhaps we can cooperate with Nuwa."

After a moment of contemplation, the White Tiger God Monarch said, "The Da Luo Universe itself is one of the Da Luo Dao Fruits, with Great Power creating its own world, while the small can be contained within a mustard seed, possessing the ability for myriad transformations."

"It doesn't matter if the achievements of the Earth Qilin and others can't be brought out; we can simply bring the entire world back with them."

"As long as Nuwa is willing to collaborate with our Qilin Clan, we can lean some resources towards the Mountain and Sea World, supporting its continued transformation, thereby further advancing the progression of the Earth Qilin and others."

"That's right!"

Bai Ze nodded and said, "In fact, we could also try to win over Daoist Nuwa."

"The Five Elements Qilin are the Da Luo Supremes in the Mountain and Sea World, so in a sense, the Mountain and Sea World is their Great Dao Domain."

"As long as Daoist Nuwa can release some authority, or bring the Mountain and Sea World to the Primordial realm, roam the entire battlefield, and when encountering enemies, absorb them into the world, then let the Five Elements Qilin deliver a surrounding kick."

"This would also make good use of Da Luo combat power."

As long as the mind doesn't backslide, methods will always outnumber challenges.

Centered around exploiting and transcending the combat power of the Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth Five Elements Qilin, the Divine Monarchs of the Qilin Clan engaged in a series of innovative discussions.

"Besides these five Daoist friends, we also have other Daoist friends cultivating the Earth and Wood Great Dao, having transformed into a Great Thousand World."

"We also need to discuss how to assist them in completing the most crucial transcendence."

The Qilin Clan is currently lacking some top-tier combat strength and naturally needs to continuously replenish with fresh talent.

Recruiting loose cultivators is one aspect, and nurturing their own people is another.

At this point, all the Divine Monarchs turned their gaze towards the silent Longevity God Monarch, Zhen Yuanzi.

"Daoist friend, do you have any good strategies?"

As the founder of the Earth and Wood Great Dao, Longevity God Monarch, Zhen Yuanzi had the most authority on the matter.

"The final perfection of the Earth and Wood Great Dao still needs a bit more time."

Seeing everyone's gaze directed at him, Zhen Yuanzi replied unhurriedly, "Rest assured, I plan to visit the Mountain and Sea World soon, thoroughly study the state of the Five Elements Qilin Kings, and come back to deduce the subsequent paths."

"I won't say it can make our Qilin Clan soar, but at least I can cultivate a few high-level individuals to fill in the gaps."

"That's good, that's good!" The Primordial Qilin and others were very satisfied with this.

Does Zhen Yuanzi really not know the method to prove the Dao and transcend right now?

Of course not.

The Earth Immortal Dao is an advanced version of the Earth and Wood Great Dao.

How Earth Immortals prove the Dao to Da Luo can be replicated on the Qilin Clan's side.

But if that were the case, wouldn't it confirm Zhen Yuanzi's identity as an undercover in the Immortal Dao?

Although the emergence of Earth Immortals might have aroused suspicion among some higher-ups of the Qilin, as long as there's no concrete evidence, he could continue to get by on both sides.

Revealing his identity too early would be of no benefit to Zhen Yuanzi.

[Let's stall for a bit. The Earth Immortal Dao must be passed on, but it can't be transmitted directly, I need to research and improve the strategy.] Zhen Yuanzi thought.

Certainly, assisting the Qilin Clan in nurturing strong individuals is something that must be done.

After all, helping the Qilin Clan now is to assist the future Earth Immortal Lineage and ultimately aid Zhen Yuanzi himself.

[Going alone on the Great Dao is not the characteristic of the Primordial, only by having more and more Daoist friends jointly seeking the Great Dao, achieving win-win, can there be sustainable development!]

Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of Earth Immortals, desires that more Earth Immortals shall tread this path in the future.

As for who becomes an Earth Immortal, it doesn't matter.

In the west of the Primordial, at Kai Ming Mountain.

Houtu raised twelve altars.

On each altar was inscribed the honored name of a Witch God.

Houtu transformed into a form with a human body and snake tail, seven hands emerging from her back, each holding a piece of seven-colored magic artifact, while her front two hands held an Earth Element Cauldron.

"Great is the earth's origin, granting life to all!"

The melodious and desolate tone echoed within Kai Ming Mountain, as Houtu raised the Earth Element Cauldron, guiding the seven-colored rays of light from the vastness of space and time.

These rays, like fireflies crossing the sky, converged and fell into the cauldron, gradually gathering into a heart-shaped form.

Looking at this transparent heart, Houtu smiled slightly, a very brilliant smile.

"Come!"

Her seven arms danced behind her, like peacocks in a display, as one drop of essence blood from each of the twelve altars floated into the cauldron.

"Thump... thump... thump..."

Moments later, the strong and powerful heartbeat sounded like war drums, as if it were the earth's pulse.

When Houtu fused her essence blood into the heart, it turned from transparent to real, beating even more powerfully.

"Very good, very good!"

Watching the heart in the cauldron beating powerfully, Houtu let out a small sigh of relief.

This was the most calm, yet the most thrilling thing she had ever done since writing the mythological script—creating a false Pangu heart!

[The Witch Gods have become the past. Now on stage are the Twelve Ancestor Witches transformed from Pangu's essence blood!]

Houtu did not dare to speak out loud and could only silently recite in her heart.

Even so, she still felt a bit guilty and cautiously glanced at the Heavenly Vault.

No Thunder Punishments descended to the world.

Nor did the Great Axe of Pangu fly in from beyond the sky.

[Very good, this means that Father Pangu has tacitly approved!] Although Houtu felt tremendous pressure, she could only think this way.

She needed to muster her courage.

Without a big enough courage, one can't accomplish great things.

"No rush, take it step by step, next I need to summon the souls of several Daoists."

Houtu took a deep breath to keep herself calm.

It's quite simple for an Innate Great God to fabricate a background.

Wanting to become stronger is also quite simple.

The Three Pure Ones Heavenly Venerates have already provided a solution—just lean towards the Creator God Pangu,

but doing so carries a slight risk.

"Once this task is done, I might inevitably have to visit the Heaven Creation Era." Houtu knew in her heart that undertaking great matters also required facing evaluations.

The Three Pure Ones also earned the benefits of "Pangu's Qi Transforms Three Pure Ones" only after being corrected by Pangu God.

What she's doing now is not any easier than what the Three Pure Ones did.

If things don't go well, she might really be split by Pangu God.

"Oh Great God, please hold your mighty hand high, even if you want to chop me, let me save all the Daoists first, then you can chop us all together."

"Chopping just one is not fun, we can group up to entertain your eminence."

"What I'm doing is not an offense, it's a reverence for the Pangu Dao, it's a continuation of Pangu's life."

"We are inheriting your will—of course, if there's a chance we'll also conveniently seize some benefits from the Chaos Demon Gods."

"Pangu God, please don't take offense!"

Houtu, as if psychologically comforting herself, muttered to herself for a moment, then closed her eyes and began to summon the souls.

"From dust to dust, earth to earth, souls return to Houtu!"

Rumble!!!

The winds and clouds changed in Kai Ming Mountain, the seven-colored divine light rose from the Earth Element Cauldron, transforming into broad avenues leading to various times and spaces.

"Ding-a-ling~~"

A hand behind Houtu shook a bell.

She divided into twelve Dao Bodies, striding along the seven-colored avenues into different times and spaces.

"Souls, return home!"

~~~~

Netherworld, Fengdu Hall.

Thousands of Ghost Gods and Ghost Immortals gathered.

Guang Chengzi, Chi Jingzi, Huang Long, and other ten Yamas were reporting to Xuanqing.

"Your Majesty, now in the Nine Fortresses of the Netherworld, eighteen Earth Emperors have returned to their positions, and we have found the remaining destined ones. When the time is right, they will ascend to our Underworld for recording."

Behind the ten Yamas, eighteen Ghost Gods respectfully greeted, "We greet Your Majesty!"

"Very good!"

Upon the Emperor's Throne, Xuanqing wore the Emperor's Crown, austere and solemn, exuding a powerful aura. Twelve Crown Tassels obscured his deep eyes, and though he simply sat there, he emanated an aura that dominates eternity.

At this moment, Meng Wuyou, dressed in a crimson divine outfit, stepped forward with a Jade Tablet: "Reporting to Your Majesty, previously the myriad of beings underwent transformation, countless ghosts entered our Underworld, filling the Netherworld."

"Through the tireless efforts of our Netherworld officials, many souls have either entered reincarnation among the heavens or transformed into the Ghost Clan."

"Only four Da Luo True Spirits remain unchanged, immortal and undying. Although their consciousness has not yet awakened, they are unwilling to cooperate with our Underworld. We are unsure how to handle them?"

"Since they are unwilling to cooperate with our Underworld, they are obstinate and unrepentant."

"For such existences, our Underworld needs to use some methods to strive to enlighten them."

Xuanqing said meaningfully, "Daoist, please offer them some of our Underworld's specialty nourishing soup, then send them to Taisha Heavenly Palace. According to their preferences, arrange four 'Cave Heaven Blessed Lands' for them."

"They can't be too shoddy, they should be top-grade, preferably arranged in an A Universe, it's spacious there."

"When the Primordial Great Reincarnation opens, I will personally send these few into reincarnation."

"Yes!" Meng Wuyou smiled and retreated as instructed.

The many Ghost Gods, upon hearing this, praised one after the other: "Your Majesty's benevolence is unmatched. These obstinate ones will undoubtedly understand our Netherworld's kindness towards them and will certainly cooperate with our work in the future."

"Precisely! Precisely!" Guang Chengzi and other Yamas, upon hearing this, couldn't help but tug a corner of their mouths into a grin, unable to hold it down.

Accommodating you in our Underworld's "luxury suites," how can Emperor Fengdu not be kind-hearted?

It's worth knowing that A Universe is somewhere even they would eagerly live in if they had the chance!

"Truly something to make a ghost envious!" the Ten Hall Yama sincerely thought.

"Ding-a-ling!"

At this moment, a clear bell rang.

Houtu arrived in the Netherworld along the Soul Guiding Road.
