Xu Fang, upon hearing Ping Xin's words, suddenly came to his senses. He quickly dismissed the jumbled thoughts in his mind and sensed carefully, only to be utterly dumbfounded.
"This is the Law of Force?"
Xu Fang found it unbelievable. Within his body now resided a power completely absent before, surging, boundless, and inexhaustible.
As Xu Fang circulated and stimulated it, his entire aura changed. A mighty presence surged forth, forcing Ping Xin to retreat a few steps, unwilling to face its edge.
Ping Xin looked at Xu Fang, feeling the aura radiating from him, and became increasingly incredulous.
"This is more than just the Law of Force! This is the purest and most powerful Law of Force I have ever witnessed since my birth!"
Ping Xin exclaimed in admiration. She and her Ancestral Wu siblings all understood some aspects of the Law of Force.
However, let alone their Ancestral Wu Law of Force, it could not compare to the Law of Force Xu Fang was now emitting. Even if all the Ancestral Wu's Laws of Force were combined, they might not be as pure and powerful as Xu Fang's!
"This feeling is as if this Law of Force was personally imparted by Father God Pangu."
As Ping Xin spoke, her gaze fell upon the now immaculately clean base of the Pangu statue.
"Could it be that this is the Law of Force left behind by Father God Pangu, but we were simply not destined to obtain it?"
Upon saying this, Ping Xin could no longer suppress her curiosity and quickly inquired.
"Fellow Daoist Xu Fang, what is your relationship with Father God Pangu?"
"What relationship could I possibly have with Great God Pangu? I haven't even met him, have I?"
Xu Fang let out a wry smile, denying any connection with Pangu.
Unlike Ping Xin, he had concluded from that sentence that Pangu was not involved. This was the work of his fellow countryman!
Without even thinking, this person must have gathered the Law of Force here, waiting for him to obtain it.
As for why this person did such a thing, Xu Fang couldn't fathom it.
However, Xu Fang knew that even if he obtained the Law of Force he had longed for because of this person, he couldn't assume this person held goodwill towards him.
After all, they were both transmigrators. Who hadn't seen stories of monstrous, arrogant bosses nurturing a protagonist only to be destroyed?
This person might just be such a monster, finding some amusement out of boredom in their immortal life!
Thinking of this, Xu Fang became even more vigilant. This person's strength was far beyond his own. If he didn't become a Saint, he would have no confidence at all to face him!
Ping Xin was clearly unsatisfied with Xu Fang's reply. She was still staring at the place where the text and symbols had been, lost in thought, muttering "impossible" under her breath.
Xu Fang was at a loss. He couldn't possibly explain his situation to Ping Xin, and if she kept asking incessantly, how could he respond?
Thus, while Ping Xin was engrossed, Xu Fang tiptoed away from the spot and left the Pangu Hall.
Outside the Pangu Hall, a group of Ancestral Wus were still waiting. Upon seeing Xu Fang emerge, Di Jiang, along with the others, immediately approached him.
"Fellow Daoist Xu Fang, to put it briefly, my younger sister has already informed us. We will help you."
Xu Fang understood immediately. So, Ping Xin was still in shock and hadn't had time to tell them the latest news, had she?
"Thank you for your kindness, but that is not necessary."
Xu Fang repeatedly shook his head, declining the Ancestral Wus' good intentions.
"Fellow Daoist Xu Fang, please do not be so polite. You helped my younger sister achieve Sainthood, making you a benefactor to our Wu tribe. How could we possibly keep our assistance to ourselves?"
Di Jiang spoke, and the other Ancestral Wus nodded in agreement, clearly thinking Xu Fang was too modest.
Facing their sincere gazes, Xu Fang sighed. He immediately urged his mind and unleashed his Law of Force.
Instantly, his aura erupted, and the Law of Force spread out, like a surging tide. The Ancestral Wus felt this immense power and were stunned into silence.
"This is!"
The Ancestral Wus exchanged glances. Not only had Xu Fang obtained the Law of Force, but this Law of Force was even stronger than all of theirs combined. What was going on?
"It is just as I said, I am not being polite, I truly do not need it."
"My friends from the Wu tribe, I have obtained what I desired. You can ask Houtu about the specifics. I will say no more."
Xu Fang said, having no intention of wasting time with the Ancestral Wus, as he himself was in a state of turmoil.
Although the Law of Force was what he had longed for, its arrival was so sudden and inexplicable that Xu Fang couldn't possibly feel at ease.
To avoid being pestered by the Ancestral Wus with endless questions, Xu Fang summoned the Treasure Conferring Rock and flew onto it.
"Alright, I will not intrude any further. Farewell, everyone!"
Xu Fang seized the moment before the Ancestral Wus could react and prepared to leave.
"Fellow Daoist Xu Fang, wait!"
Di Jiang was the first to react when Xu Fang was about to leave and instinctively called out, trying to retain him.
Upon hearing this call, Xu Fang actually stopped and looked back. However, before the Ancestral Wus could speak, Xu Fang asked first.
"Esteemed Ancestral Wus, if, I repeat, if the Wu tribe and the Demon tribe were to fight, it would only result in mutual destruction with no winners. Would you still be willing to fight them to the death?"
"This..."
Di Jiang had not expected Xu Fang to ask such a question and fell into contemplation.
Meanwhile, the other Ancestral Wus, upon hearing this, began to voice their responses.
"Fellow Daoist Xu Fang, in the current situation, can our Wu tribe retreat?"
"Exactly. Even if we know this will not end well, if our Wu tribe does not fight, will the Demon tribe let us be?"
"Indeed, the battle between the Wu and Demon tribes has long ceased to be a mere struggle for dominance. It has become a fight for survival!"
The words of the Ancestral Wus caused Di Jiang to sigh and spread his hands helplessly towards Xu Fang.
"It is as they say. The situation is beyond our control. This is no longer something we can decide."
Xu Fang nodded repeatedly as he listened to their words and said,
"However, if there were space for survival, shouldn't one then abandon the conflict?"
"Fellow Daoist Xu Fang, you jest. How could that be possible?"
Di Jiang shook his head repeatedly, and the other Ancestral Wus also found this to be a fantasy, not taking it seriously.
As long as they were in the Primordial World, and the Wu and Demon tribes still existed, it would inevitably be an unending battle. Where could they escape?
"It is possible. I hope you will consider it."
Xu Fang looked up at the vast sky and said.
Although he had not given Ping Xin and the Earthly Ancestor a definitive reply,
he had not promised them their request.
However, this tribulation of the Wu and Demon tribes involved that supreme being, and it absolutely could not be allowed to continue. It would only make that being more powerful and difficult to deal with.
The one who tied the bell must untie it. The best approach would naturally be to start with the Wu and Demon tribes.
However, at this moment, Xu Fang only had a vague idea. By bringing it up now, he was merely giving the Wu tribe a heads-up. It was acceptable if they did not agree.
With this thought, Xu Fang bowed to the Ancestral Wus and then rode away at full speed.
The Ancestral Wus returned his bow, watching the Treasure Conferring Rock recede. Remembering Xu Fang's words, though they had rejected them outright, they were all moved.
If it were truly as Fellow Daoist Xu Fang said, perhaps they would not have to continue fighting to the death against the Demon tribe in the Primordial World?
