Chapter 167 Who should young Dijiang be reincarnated as?
Taibai opened his eyes, and his eyes were now even more piercing and bright.
He adjusted his breathing slightly, feeling the flow of energy around him, and knew that his cultivation had unknowingly advanced to a higher level.
However, this promotion did not bring him much joy; instead, it weighed heavily on his mind.
Houtu's words still echoed in his ears, and Taibai clearly realized that he had already embarked on Pingxin's ship, with no turning back.
If one were to refuse at this moment, it would not only appear disrespectful but could also bring unforeseen trouble.
He composed himself, his face solemn, and bowed slightly forward, saying:
"Please, Your Majesty, speak plainly. If there is anything I can do to help, I will gladly die for it!"
Pingxin looked at Taibai's respectful posture and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. He nodded slightly.
"The great calamity should befall the human race, and this matter must be closely related to the change of the human emperor."
Therefore, I wish to reincarnate Dijiang's primordial spirit as a human emperor, using the human race's fortune and the cover of the great calamity to conceal his aura, thereby creating a glimmer of hope for his resurrection.
Upon hearing this plan, Taibai was immediately shocked and astonished.
His mind instantly became a mess, with countless thoughts intertwining and colliding, yet he couldn't make sense of them.
He tried hard to connect Dijiang's primordial spirit with the Great Tribulation, but he always felt that it was shrouded in mystery.
As far as he knew, among all twelve ancestral witches, only Houtu had regained her primordial spirit.
Even at the level of Great Witches, only a very few beings, such as Xiang Liu, possess a primordial spirit.
As for the Ancestral Witch Dijiang, Taibai did not recall that he had recovered his primordial spirit. Moreover, the Heavenly Dao had been extremely strict in monitoring the Witch Clan back then, so how did they manage to deceive the heavens?
Pingxin seemed to see through Taibai's doubts. Instead of explaining immediately, she raised her right hand, palm up, and gently flipped it over.
A halo of light condensed in her hand, gradually revealing a small humanoid figure with some flaws in its shape.
The little figure was completely transparent, with slightly blurred edges, and swayed precariously.
Taibai focused his attention and immediately recognized that this was the primordial spirit of the living being, but it was incomplete.
He took a deep breath and asked in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, could this be the primordial spirit of the Ancestral Witch Dijiang? But as far as I know, among the Twelve Ancestral Witches, only you have revived your primordial spirit using your innate pure energy. What about Ancestral Witch Dijiang...?"
Pingxin gently stroked the primordial spirit figure in his palm and replied:
"Merit can also revive the primordial spirit. Most of the Heavenly Dao merits I exchanged with you before have been absorbed by my elder brother, which is why he was able to barely condense this half of his primordial spirit. Although it is incomplete, it is enough to serve as the foundation for reincarnation."
After hearing this, Taibai began to recall that, in his memory, when the Demon Court attacked the ancestral court of the Witch Clan, it seemed that the Witch Clan's merits had been wiped out.
Moreover, his memory was exceptionally clear. If the Demon Court hadn't attacked those merits, the Witch Clan would probably have been destroyed during that great war.
"That's just a smokescreen, you don't need to worry about it."
"The time is now urgent, and I need your help in planning."
Humanity is currently divided into four regions: east, south, west, and north, and ruled by the Shang Dynasty, the sovereign ruler of all four directions. In your opinion, who should my elder brother be reincarnated as?
Faced with Pingxin's scrutinizing gaze, Taibai feigned a thoughtful expression.
"Your Majesty, the land of Xiqi is blessed with a wise ruler, loyal ministers, and the support of the people. It is destined to be the place with the greatest opportunities in this great calamity."
In my humble opinion, it would be wise to have the Ancestral Witch Dijiang reincarnate as the next ruler of Xiqi. Alternatively, Your Majesty could wait a little longer and choose the most opportune moment.
After listening calmly, Pingxin gently shook his head, his voice lowering and carrying a hint of vicissitude:
"I also wish to wait for the best opportunity, but when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. If you wait until the great calamity arrives to make arrangements, I'm afraid it will be too late."
Taibai stood with his head bowed, but his mind was racing, calculating the timeline.
He knew that the beginning of the Investiture of the Gods was when Emperor Xin offered incense at the Nuwa Palace, and that Jiang Ziya had cultivated in Kunlun Mountain for about seventy years. This meant that the Investiture of the Gods had already occurred during the reign of King Wu Ding of the Shang Dynasty.
At that time, the primordial world had not yet officially entered the Great Tribulation, and the Heavenly Dao's surveillance of the world was even more meticulous, especially in places like the Netherworld, which were heavily involved in the cycle of reincarnation.
Thinking of this, Taibai was secretly alarmed, realizing that Pingxin's words were not unfounded.
Reincarnation at this moment is the best opportunity, as the Heavenly Dao's attention has not yet been fully focused.
"Your Majesty is wise. According to my calculations, Xiqi's fortune is long-lasting, and the Marquis of Xibo, Ji Chang, should have a son named Ji Fa. This son has an extraordinary destiny, protected by purple aura, and is the best choice to be the reincarnation of the Ancestral Witch Dijiang."
Pingxin closed his eyes, his mind sinking into the depths of the netherworld, communicating with the power of the Book of Life and Death.
Countless images and lights swirled in her consciousness as she carefully perused the human race's destiny record. Sure enough, she found the name Ji Fa among countless names.
However, the Book of Life and Death can only record names and deaths, making it difficult to see the full picture of a person's fate.
After repeated checks, she discovered that Ji Chang had hundreds of sons.
"In my opinion, Ji Chang is not a wise ruler at all; he is nothing but a lecherous man. Moreover, Ji Fa has ninety-nine brothers. How can he guarantee that he will eventually become the Marquis of the West?"
"Your Majesty, according to my calculations, Ji Fa is indeed protected by purple aura. Therefore, the best choice is for the Ancestral Witch Di Jiang to be reincarnated as Ji Fa. Please consider this carefully, Your Majesty."
Since Dijiang needs to be reincarnated, his reincarnation must be a human who has a better ending in the Investiture of the Gods.
Throughout the entire process of the Investiture of the Gods, the one who had the best outcome was none other than Ji Fa, the Marquis of Xibo.
Although he claimed to be the Son of Heaven, he was the true victor.
Therefore, if Dijiang is to be reborn and return to his rightful place, Ji Fa is undoubtedly the best choice.
Moreover, even after Ji Fa successfully overthrew the Shang Dynasty, he was still able to gather the fortune of the human race. Even a sage would probably find it difficult to discern Ji Fa's true form.
However, Dijiang is naturally arrogant, and his memories must not be restored during the Great Tribulation.
Otherwise, let alone claiming to be the Son of Heaven, he might even lead human cultivators straight to the Heavenly Court.
Thinking of this, Taibai felt a chill run down his spine and couldn't help but regret agreeing to help Houtu.
He stood calmly in place, his eyes closed, constantly deducing who Dijiang should be reincarnated to maximize his benefits.
A moment later, she opened her eyes, clearly having made up her mind.
"Has Your Majesty made a decision? Will you choose to reincarnate the primordial spirit of the Ancestral Witch Dijiang into Ji Fa?"
Taibai subconsciously stepped forward and asked.
He was quite concerned about this matter, after all, he had already promised Pingxin to participate.
"The Mandate of Heaven is with the Shang Dynasty. Prince Shou, the successor of the Shang Dynasty, possesses immense strength and wisdom. I believe it would be most suitable for my elder brother to be reincarnated as him."
Zi Shou, also known as Yin Shou, was the original name of King Zhou of Shang, Di Xin.
Pingxin's plan was to reincarnate Dijiang as Dixin.
Upon hearing this, Taibai felt a chill in his heart and was momentarily at a loss for how to respond.
"Your Majesty, why don't you try to predict the future of Emperor Xin and Ji Fa? Perhaps there will be some unexpected joy."
