Chapter 1111: Seven Nine One Mother Earth’s Worries_2

The living forces of the Witch Clan had been exhausted in the endless Netherworld, leaving them no strength to help Jiang Chen.

Compared to after the end of the Ancient Era, the strength of the Witch Clan had indeed increased a lot. This was thanks to the Innate Ferocious Beasts, born directly from the flesh of the Chaos Demigod, whose flesh contained astounding power, a great supplement for the Witch Clan.

By devouring the flesh of the Innate Ferocious Beasts, the Witch Clan had significantly developed, enhancing their strength over the years.

However, as the Witch Clan grew stronger, the remnants of the Demon Gods also grew stronger. In battle, with both sides clashing, how could it be possible that only the beasts died and not the Witch Clan?

Casualties were mutual. Many Innate Ferocious Beasts had died, and many masters of the Witch Clan had also perished, it’s just that not as many as on the side of the beasts. And by devouring the flesh of the Witch Clan’s masters, the power of the Demon God’s remnants had also increased substantially.

It could only be said that both sides had enhanced their strength by devouring the flesh of the other, with the Witch side just reaping greater benefits, thus continuously suppressing the other side.

But this gap was constantly narrowing, and sooner or later, the power of the Demon God’s remnants would exceed Mother Earth’s control, leading to a massive catastrophe.

Anticipating this scenario, Mother Earth had sought ways to resurrect the already fallen Ancestral Witches.

To thoroughly resolve the looming threat of the endless Netherworld, there was only one way: to kill all the remnants of the Demon Gods. But if even the power of Saints could not do it, what power in this world could?

Whether other powers could achieve this, Mother Earth did not know, but she knew that Pangu’s power could definitely do it, as this had been proven by facts. Three thousand Chaos Demigods had all perished by the hand of Pangu Great God.

Therefore, if the fallen Ancestral Witches were resurrected, amalgamating the power of the Twelve Ancestral Witches with Pangu’s Heart to set up the God-killing Array, they could reassemble Pangu’s physical body. By then, no matter how strong the remnants of the Demon Gods were, they could not escape their doom.

The remnants of the Demon Gods would not die; this was their greatest advantage. Unless this issue was addressed, any advantage the Witch Clan possessed would only be temporary.

Immortality represented endless possibilities and also indicated that the Witch Clan could not afford to make mistakes. Any error would create an opportunity for the Demon God’s remnants.

Thus, as long as the remnants of the Demon Gods lived, Mother Earth would remain uneasy.

...

...

"Ah, let’s hope Jiang Chen’s plan will be successful. This is our last hope. If we still cannot resurrect our brothers, then I’ll have no choice but to seek help from the Mystic Sect."

"Endless years of endless combat, even gods grow weary!"

Inside the endless Netherworld, Mother Earth anxiously watched the Witch Clan warriors battling with the Innate Ferocious Beasts.

In the battlefield, the Witch Clan warriors dominated, mercilessly harvesting beast after beast, turning them into their spoils of war.

Logically, Mother Earth should be happy to see such a scene, but in reality, the opposite was true, her eyes filled with worry.

She could see beneath those resolute faces of the Witch Clan warriors a fatigue that could not be hidden.

Even if they were great witches, unmatched in combat, what of it? For tens of millions of years, they had stayed in the lightless endless Netherworld, constantly battling the Innate Ferocious Beasts. Even if made of godly metal, they would grow weary!

Especially over these millions of years, the Witch Clan warriors had constantly hovered between life and death, their spirits perpetually on edge, never relaxing for a moment.

They were almost at their limit!

Once the taut string snapped, the consequences would undoubtedly be unimaginable.

Endless combat was not horrifying, but what was terrifying was that this combat showed no sign of ending. Thus, even the battle-loving Witch Clan warriors were weary of this fight.

What Mother Earth worried about was this very thing. The warriors’ weariness toward battle meant that the tide of battle was about to shift, tipping the balance of victory in favor of the Demon God’s remnants.

Thus, Mother Earth readily agreed to Jiang Chen’s plan. She wanted the warriors of the Witch Clan to see hope at the end of the battle; only then could her people regain their confidence and continue battling the Fierce Beasts.

The weary hearts of the Witch Clan warriors needed an uplifting piece of news, and for the Witch Clan, there was no news more exhilarating than the resurrection of the Ancestral Witch.

Jiang Chen’s plan to resurrect the Ancestral Witch hit right at the heart of Mother Earth’s needs. Therefore, not to mention that Jiang Chen’s plan seemed highly likely to succeed, even if the chances of success weren’t great, Mother Earth was willing to take a gamble.

For the future of the Witch Clan, she could only risk everything now.

Seeking aid from the Mystic Sect was not a small matter. If the Witch Clan could resolve the crisis of the endless Netherworld on their own, then this land, comparable to the Boundless Starry Sky, would completely belong to the Witch Clan. Even the Taoist Ancestors wouldn’t be able to claim it.

But if they asked the Mystic Sect for help, it would mean the Witch Clan was giving up on the endless Netherworld, and then the Mystic Sect would have ample reason to take possession of the land.

The Demon Clan rose with the Boundless Starry Sky and was equally reputable; this represented the hope for the future rise of the Witch Clan. Unless they were really at a dead end, Mother Earth would never let go.

So, no matter what, Mother Earth had to take a gamble and use every resource to resurrect the Ancestral Witch. If it succeeded, the path ahead for the Witch Clan would be brilliant.

If it did not succeed, they could only seek help from the Mystic Sect. Although the Witch Clan might struggle to revive, at least their legacy would be preserved.

...

...

"The Red Gold Lotus, truly an unexpected joy."

After leaving the Hall of Reincarnation, Jiang Chen looked at the Red Gold Lotus given to him by Mother Earth and couldn’t help but smile.

This supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure was completely beyond his expectations. In his plan, coming to the Netherworld, being able to persuade Mother Earth to lend the Twelve Duotian Shenfan was already difficult. As for anything else, he had not dared to hope for it.

But unexpectedly, things developed completely beyond Jiang Chen’s expectations. He not only obtained the extremely useful Red Gold Lotus but also secured a promise from Mother Earth, predetermining his position as Emperor of Fengdu.

This truly saved him a lot of trouble.

The position of Emperor of Fengdu, needless to say, concerned Jiang Chen’s Divine Dao arrangement; the Yin Spirit lineage should be positioned at Emperor of Fengdu.

It can be said, once Jiang Chen was firmly in the position of Emperor of Fengdu, he could comfortably arrange the city deity system and thereby split much of the authority of the Netherworld.

At that time, Divine Dao was bound to see a resurgence of prosperity, and with Fate fortifying him, who knew how much benefit it would bring Jiang Chen.

As for the Red Gold Lotus, that was even more extraordinary. The benefits the position of Emperor of Fengdu could bring to Jiang Chen were still in the future, visible but untouchable. But the Red Gold Lotus provided tangible immediate benefits that were clearly visible.

The Red Gold Lotus, personally cultivated by Mother Earth, originated from the first generation seeds of the Merit Gold Lotus and Karma Fire Red Lotus, which are descendants of the Chaos Green Lotus.

Although the lotus’s rank was not as high as those two innate lotuses, it combined the strengths of both and contained much mysterious creation. For Jiang Chen’s Sea of Consciousness where the Chaos Green Lotus resided, it was a significant nourishment, swallowing it could help it potentially generate several more Chaos divine prohibitions.

And enhancement in the rank of the Chaos Green Lotus would immediately reverberate back to Jiang Chen.

The simplest example is, Jiang Chen was currently at the Great Perfection realm of Innate Dao Sovereign. Normally, it would take at least one million years to break through to the Quasi-Saint realm.

But with the Red Gold Lotus, everything was different—as soon as the Chaos Green Lotus devoured it, it would empower Jiang Chen, and it wouldn’t take long for him to advance to the Quasi-Saint realm.

An ultimate Innate Spiritual Treasure, with an origin so profound, corresponds to a high-ranking expert at the Great Perfection Level of Quasi-Saint. Such formidable power was enough to help Jiang Chen break through.

"This lotus platform can save me millions of years,"

Composing himself, Jiang Chen didn’t hesitate and directly sent the Red Gold Lotus into his Sea of Consciousness.
