"Was it the Celestial Being who acted? Or the Lord of the Netherworld?"
Besides Li Boyang and the Lord of the Netherworld, these two Great Celestial Gods of the current age, Wu Zhen could not think of anyone else who could accomplish such a feat.
"No, it wasn’t them..."
Shaking his head decisively, Xiao Yue sighed again.
"According to the Divine Witch’s speculation, it should be a Pathfinder from another timeline."
"What ’He’ wants to steal is the ability of ’Refining Illusion into Truth,’ which is likely related to ’His’ path to enlightenment."
Upon hearing Xiao Yue’s words, Wu Zhen was initially stunned but then spoke with some helplessness.
"I almost forgot, ever since the Celestial Being created the long river of time, the powerful beings hidden behind this world are no longer just the two Great Celestial Gods of the current age."
Li Boyang’s creation of the great era struggle has indeed objectively allowed the entire world to ascend on a spiral ladder.
However, not everyone believes this is a good thing.
From the perspective of the vested interests like the Great Xia Gods and the Spirit Mountain Ten Witches, the instability brought by the long river of time actually far outweighs its practical benefits.
"I agree, when that candidate appears, I will help him gain the wisdom and power of the sixth Witch King."
After obtaining Wu Zhen’s promise, Xiao Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Actually, I have a second purpose for coming here, which is to select the ’candidates’ of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range."
Slightly raising an eyebrow, Wu Zhen instantly understood the subtext in Xiao Yue’s words.
The inheritance of the Great Xia Witch King has always been divided into orthodox heirs and unorthodox heirs.
The former are professionals cultivated by the many witches of Great Xia, while the latter are outstanding rogue players.
It goes without saying that it’s absolutely impossible for the Hundred Lands Mountain Range to have formal heirs.
So the meaning of sending Xiao Yue here is quite clear.
"Who have they set their sights on this time?"
Wu Zhen knew that Xiao Yue wouldn’t say these things to him for no reason.
After all, according to the confidentiality regulations of the inheritance ceremony, even among high ranks like the Spirit Mountain Ten Witches, only Wu Xian knows all the candidates’ selections.
"Li Jingshu, Li Xi, Nvwa, and Ying Long..."
When mentioning the last name, Xiao Yue noticeably hesitated.
Similarly, Wu Zhen was also stunned when he heard the last nomination.
"Wait, why is Ying Long on this list!?"
Li Jingshu, Li Xi, and Nvwa are all humans, so being selected is not surprising.
The strange thing is that Ying Long, who is clearly not human, is also considered a candidate for the tenth Witch King.
This completely breaks all previous rules.
Wu Zhen could hardly imagine what expressions the many witches and Gods of Great Xia would have if Ying Long were really chosen.
"The Divine Witch says this is to actively embrace the changes of this great competitive world."
"Since the Celestial Being intends to forge all living beings into a unified civilization in a furnace."
"Then Great Xia must also welcome this era of change, abandoning the previously shallow racial concepts."
After pausing slightly, Xiao Yue continued.
"Besides, Ying Long’s mother is a God of Great Xia, his father is a friend of the Celestial Being, and he has your guidance as a mentor..."
"Even if he indeed stands out among the candidates, he won’t become a traditional God."
"He is the ’new human’ that the Celestial Being anticipates, a Pathfinder of the new era."

"That Wu Xian has quite an open mind, truly befitting a Wise Man who has lived for over a thousand years."
Gazing at the blazing Eight Trigrams Furnace not far away, Li Boyang mused.
"So why are you indulging those Witches?"
"The Hundred Lands Mountain Range isn’t Great Xia, what gives them the right to choose their so-called ’candidates’ here?"
Standing with a cold face behind Li Boyang, Wang Shu evidently had no fondness for the actions of Wu Xian and his group.
"For the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, such matters only bring benefits; why should I oppose it?"
"Wu Xian decided to select the tenth Witch King from the Hundred Lands Mountain Range..."
"In essence, it’s to prevent Great Xia from falling behind the times, from becoming the old order’s defender, abandoned or even overthrown by the era."
"At the very least, before I pass away, this trend of great integration is inevitable."
Patiently explaining to Wang Shu, Li Boyang tried to make him understand the world’s order.
As the most capricious and ferocious "Moon Eclipse God" among the fifteen Moon Gods,
Wang Shu not only possessed formidable combat talents but also had a fiery temper.
This, in fact, was one reason Li Boyang always kept him by his side.
He was educating Wang Shu, shaping him into a qualified Moon God who would bring blessings to all beings.
"In this world, acting based on temperament and likes always offers only temporary satisfaction."
"Being able to restrain your temper and preferences, understanding the root of benefits and drawbacks of things, and then making judgments is the most correct approach."
Keeping the same indifferent expression on her face, Wang Shu unconsciously tilted her head.
She knew Li Boyang was speaking for her good, so she was trying to understand his words.
"Before doing anything, first consider the pros and cons and the consequences of this matter..."
"When you determine that you can accept these pros and cons and consequences, you can make a decision."
"In this way, even if the worst result occurs, you won’t regret your choice."
"Conversely, when everything is under control, should an unexpected situation arise, you’ll have the chance and ability to remedy and correct it."
Hearing this, after a brief moment of thought, Wang Shu suddenly asked.
"It’s too troublesome; I still prefer straightforwardness."
Shaking his head with a smile, Li Boyang retorted.
"It’s not that you like straightforwardness; you’re just plain foolish."
"Because you can’t see through the essence of things, nor do you think and weigh the pros and cons, so you can only rely on your strength."
"But intelligent beings are called such because, apart from strength, they have wisdom."
"This world never lacks beings stronger than you..."
"Acting recklessly based on your temperament will eventually lead you to hit a wall sooner or later."
Hearing Li Boyang’s judgment of herself, Wang Shu immediately pouted angrily, unable to maintain her indifferent look on her face.
"Planning and then deciding, thinking twice before acting, this is a prerequisite for anyone who achieves great things."
"If you were just an ordinary person, my expectations for you wouldn’t be this high."
"But you are not ordinary; you are the Moon Emperor, the Moon Eclipse God. Your every move impacts all beings immeasurably."
"As the saying goes, those who desire to wear the crown must bear its weight."
"Conversely, only by bearing the weight can one wear the crown."
