Houtu Niangniang did not expect Yin Zicheng to be so polite to her.

Not only did he express his admiration, but even when Yin Zicheng wanted to ask for his help, Yin Zicheng took the initiative to talk to him to ease his embarrassment.

"I never expected Fellow Daoist Zicheng to be so powerful, yet so humble and polite..."

"It was the right decision for me to form an alliance with him."

Yin Zicheng's performance earned him the favor of the Goddess Houtu.

A smile appeared on her indifferent face as she said to Yin Zicheng:

"Fellow Daoist Zicheng, I am truly ashamed to say that..."

"I have time and hope to have a good chat with Daoist Zicheng."

......

soon.

Houtu Niangniang and Yin Zicheng sat down together in the reception room.

After sitting down.

Two beautiful fairies from the Jie Sect, who served as maids in the Zhenguo Shengzu Mansion, offered them celestial tea.

After the tea-serving maids withdrew, only Yin Zicheng and Houtu Niangniang remained in the large reception room.

Yin Zicheng picked up the immortal tea, took a sip, and said with a smile:

“Fellow Daoist Houtu, this place is very safe. Even a sage cannot eavesdrop. You can speak freely about anything. There is absolutely no need to worry.”

Yin Zicheng spoke with great arrogance.

To prevent even a saint from eavesdropping, one must possess the strength of a saint.

If others heard Yin Zicheng say this, they might think he was exaggerating.

Houtu Niangniang understood that Yin Zicheng was telling the truth.

He has that kind of ability!

......

"call......"

Houtu Niangniang took a deep breath and said to Yin Zicheng:

“Fellow Daoist Zicheng, you are incredibly powerful. Even the Sage Nuwa disregarded past grievances and became your ally.”

"You should be aware of my situation, right?"

Houtu Niangniang did not directly state her purpose, but instead asked Yin Zicheng a question.

Upon hearing this, Yin Zicheng raised an eyebrow slightly.

He was indeed very clear about Houtu Niangniang's situation.

In fact, he understood it even better than the Goddess Houtu herself!

Yin Zicheng nodded and said:

"Fellow Daoist Houtu, your situation is not very optimistic."

In my opinion, you are facing three main problems that are difficult to solve.

"Firstly, because you were reincarnated back then, you were unable to reach perfection and achieve the true sainthood due to the lack of a physical body, and you have always been in the very awkward state of pseudo-sainthood."

"Secondly, your primordial spirit is attached to the six realms of reincarnation. For countless years, it has been washed away by the six realms of reincarnation every day. Your emotions and consciousness are gradually being washed away, and you are gradually losing yourself!"

"Thirdly, the Grandmaster Hongjun has been suppressing the underground passages. Under his instructions, the Heavenly Court and the Western Religion have been trying to infiltrate the Netherworld."

"You are very distressed about these three things, but you have no solution and have almost given up."

"But you see that even someone as proud as Fellow Daoist Nuwa has set aside her arrogance to become my ally, and you think I am extraordinary and want to see if you can find a solution from me... I'm not wrong, am I?"

......

Although Houtu Niangniang's emotions and consciousness have been eroded by the endless years of the six realms of reincarnation, they have become extremely faint.

Most things in the world simply cannot trigger her emotional fluctuations.

But at this moment, Yin Zicheng's words were like a thunderclap in the heart of the Goddess Houtu.

Her heart was greatly shaken, and a huge wave of emotions surged within her.

"He knows everything!"

"He knows all my worries perfectly well!"

"It's as if he can see right through my heart!"

Houtu Niangniang's question just now was a test of Yin Zicheng's abilities.

The result of the test was beyond Houtu Niangniang's expectations, and it surprised her greatly.

......

"call......"

Houtu Niangniang composed herself and said to Yin Zicheng:

"Fellow Daoist Zicheng is indeed amazing!"

“What you just said is absolutely right! I am indeed worried about these three problems and can’t find a good solution.”

At this point, Houtu Niangniang bowed deeply to Yin Zicheng and said very sincerely:

"Fellow Daoist Zicheng, do you have any good solutions for my predicament?"

Seeing the expectant look on Houtu Niangniang's face.

Yin Zicheng didn't keep them in suspense and answered directly:

"Fellow Daoist Houtu, the problem that's troubling you seems to be three... but actually it's just one: insufficient strength!"

"Because Hongjun secretly guided you back then, causing you to hastily transform into the Earthly Dao, resulting in your incompleteness and your inability to become a true Earthly Dao Saint for a long time."

"Otherwise, if you can become the first Earthly Saint in the world, you can become the Earthly Saint just like Hongjun became the spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao, and your strength will be comparable to Hongjun's."

"In that case, you will not only not need to worry about your consciousness being washed away by the Six Paths of Reincarnation, but Hongjun will also not dare to suppress the Underworld like he does now!"

"In other words, you only need to find a way to break through the pseudo-saint realm and become a true earth saint."

......

Houtu Niangniang was taken aback by Yin Zicheng's words.

She understands the principles.

The key problem is that she no longer has a physical body, so she can never achieve perfection and become a true saint!

Does this mean that her consciousness is destined to perish under the cleansing of the six realms of reincarnation?

Could it be that her underworld is destined to be infiltrated by Hongjun?

Does this mean that there is no hope left in her life?

Houtu Niangniang was in an emo mood for a moment.

Immediately, she shattered her emo feelings:

"Haven't I already accepted the fate of having my self erased?"

"I originally only wanted to find Fellow Daoist Zicheng to form an alliance with the Underworld because I couldn't let go of it, and to entrust the Underworld to him and ask him to protect it. Why am I now grieving for something that was already destined?"

......

Houtu Niangniang quickly adjusted her emotions.

Her expression was solemn as she looked at Yin Zicheng and said:

“Fellow Daoist Zicheng, I know my days are numbered. Once my self-awareness is completely eroded, leaving only my avatar Pingxin, I will be no match for Hongjun’s invasion!”

"While I still have a chance to live, for the sake of the future of the Underworld, I hope to form an alliance with Fellow Daoist Zicheng and entrust my Underworld to him!"

"Fellow Daoist Zicheng, would you be willing to grant the request of this dying man?"

opposite.

Yin Zicheng was taken aback when he saw that Houtu Niangniang was extremely serious, as if she was entrusting her affairs after her death.

How come it's hopeless?

What I meant was that solving these problems isn't difficult!

My Goddess Houtu, how could you interpret it as yourselves being beyond saving?

Is there something wrong with my description, or have you been through the cycle of reincarnation for too long, causing not only your emotions to become indifferent but also your IQ to drop?
