This is so dishonest!

Chapter 473 The Chaos Demon God Bullies My Old Age and Weakness!
The vast and boundless land of antiquity.

On that plain called Chengji, the water and grass are lush and the land is full of life.

This place is home to a human kingdom.

Its name is Huaxu.

Since Xuanqing conferred titles upon the Ten Directions Divine Kingdoms, powerful races throughout the world have established their own kingdoms on this vast land.

After arriving in the Primordial Realm, the human race followed suit and established one kingdom after another.

The Kingdom of Huaxu was a homeland built by an outstanding human leader named Huaxu, who led her tribe through hardship and pioneering efforts.

On this day, the sky was high and the clouds were light, and a gentle breeze was blowing.

After finishing her affairs, Hua Xu, the ruler of the kingdom, felt a little free time and strolled alone to the edge of the famous Great Wilderness Thunder Marsh on the border of the kingdom.

She walked barefoot on the soft grass, letting the breeze blow through her long, black hair, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.

while walking.

Suddenly, she inadvertently stepped on an enormous footprint.

The mark was deeply etched into the earth, as if a towering deity had stood there, and the surrounding soil faintly exuded a vast and ancient aura.

Just as she became curious, something unexpected happened.

A dazzling rainbow of light rose up from the giant footprint without warning, like a nimble dragon, instantly encircling her body.

Hua Xu felt a slight tremor in her soul, and a mysterious feeling arose spontaneously from the bottom of her heart.

"Huh? I...I'm pregnant?"

Hua Xu's clear and bright eyes widened suddenly at this moment, her face filled with disbelief.

She was utterly shocked.

"This...this isn't right!"

She unconsciously stroked her flat stomach and murmured to herself.

"Although I have indeed been looking for a suitable successor recently, and have even been seriously considering having children to carry on my bloodline..."

"But... isn't this a bit too sudden?"

For a time, Hua Xushi's heart was filled with worry and hesitation.

However, as one of the outstanding leaders of the human race who was able to lead a tribe to survive tenaciously in the perilous wilderness and eventually successfully establish a kingdom, Huaxu was clearly no ordinary woman.

She may not possess the extraordinary talent of the first generation of humans who were born at the beginning of time, who were born as golden immortals and were immortal by nature.

However, following the example of the great creator goddess Nuwa, she successfully evolved a powerful form with a human head and a snake's body after countless attempts and practices.

Given time, as long as one diligently cultivates oneself, the Great Way is within reach.

Recently, Huaxu has been considering whether she should cultivate a new person to succeed her as king.

Then, she can return to the ancestral land of humanity to further her studies in order to seek the ultimate breakthrough in her own path.

However, after much thought and consideration, and after looking at many of the younger generation of her clansmen, she still couldn't find a suitable candidate who truly satisfied her.

It was precisely because she was feeling troubled that she came out alone today to clear her mind and relieve her inner turmoil.

But unexpectedly, this really proved the old saying true.

Intentionally planting flowers but not blooming, unintentionally planting willows and willows make a shade.

When heaven and earth unite, yin and yang give birth.

Such seemingly unbelievable things are commonplace in any fantastical mythological world.

Moreover, this is the origin of all myths and legends in the myriad realms—the Primordial True Realm.

Having figured this out, Hua Xu's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and a relieved smile appeared on her face.

"That's fine."

She sighed softly, her tone carrying a hint of carefree acceptance.

"It's come to this point. There's no point in overthinking it."

"I should go back to China first, go to the Temple of Our Lady to draw a fortune stick for my unborn child, and see if this matter is a blessing or a curse before making any plans."

So, Huaxu composed herself and turned to walk towards her own kingdom.

Unseen by her, in that void between reality and illusion, stood an incomparably majestic and enormous heavenly gate.

This heavenly gate was held high by rolling, surging black demonic clouds, and within the gate stood two majestic demon king statues.

The Great God Lei Ze, who was responsible for accurately projecting Fuxi's true spirit into Hua Xu Shi, was standing beneath the Heavenly Gate at this moment.

He glanced somewhat guiltily at Xuan Qing, the Primordial Heavenly Demon King, whose aura was as deep as the sea and seemed to be the source of all demons.

He wiped non-existent cold sweat from his forehead, lowered his voice, and asked cautiously:

"Fellow Daoist... tell me the truth."

"When I finish this matter and leave the Demon Realm, shouldn't a deadly celestial blade suddenly fly down from the river of time and space?"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Qing, the Primordial Demon King, revealed an enigmatic smile.

He gently patted Razer on the shoulder, comforting him:

"Don't worry, it won't happen."

"Fellow Daoist Nuwa has always been quick to settle scores and seek revenge."

"If she really wanted to kill you, she would have attacked by now."

Upon hearing this, the great god Lei Ze froze, breaking out in a cold sweat.

He frantically looked around, as if the legendary Heavenly Blade would cleave out from some corner of the void at any moment.

"Fellow Daoist! You...you must be scareing me!"

Hua Xu was a person destined to be the reincarnation of Fu Xi, as revealed in the secrets of heaven.

And coincidentally, the Huaxu Kingdom she founded was located near the Daoist temple of the Great God Leize.

Therefore, the important yet challenging task of arranging the reincarnation of Fuxi naturally fell to him.

Actually, when it came to taking on this job, the great Razer felt both apprehensive and secretly pleased.

In the past, in order to deduce the Great Dao, Fuxi traveled through the world and fought with various great gods, including himself, the Lord of Leize.

Back then, the great god Lei Ze was often forced to "work" and sit with Fu Xi to discuss the Dao, often leaving him dizzy and confused.

He remembers this matter very clearly.

As for why he knew that the one who had disguised himself and traveled was Fuxi.

That was, of course, told to him personally by Xuan Qing, the [Primordial Heavenly Demon King] beside him.

Seeing Lei Ze's anxious expression, Xuan Qing, the Primordial Demon King, smiled and said, "Don't worry, you'll be fine."

If Lei Ze knew that Nuwa had a secondary identity in the Demon Realm as the "Ancestor of Humans and Demons".

Then he wouldn't even dare to stay in the Demon Realm.

……

After returning to her kingdom, Huaxu did not delay at all and immediately went to the most sacred temple of the Holy Mother in the kingdom.

She knelt devoutly before the statue of the Holy Mother Nuwa, lit three sticks of incense, and silently prayed to the Holy Mother, asking about the fortune or misfortune of her unexpected pregnancy.

Soon, a soft and holy light emanated from the statue.

Nuwa herself appeared in human form.

A compassionate and gentle will descended upon Huaxu's heart, soothing her anxious soul.

Moreover, the Holy Mother Nuwa bestowed upon her a divine artifact that was radiant and extraordinary.

That is—the Fuxi Qin (a type of zither).

"Your child has a limitless future."

Nuwa's voice, like heavenly music, echoed in Huaxu's mind.

"From now on, you must take good care of him; he will be your most suitable successor."

Nuwa then gave Huaxu a series of detailed instructions, and finally passed on to her a scroll containing the supreme secrets of creation, the "Book of Creation," before slowly departing.

Having received personal reassurance and affirmation from the Holy Mother Nuwa, Huaxu finally felt a great weight lifted from her heart.

Initially, Huaxu wanted to keep her pregnancy a secret for a while.

After all, this was all too sudden.

Unfortunately, her idea was quickly shattered.

When she came out of the Temple of the Holy Mother, she only passed by Elder Hua Yun once, but this insightful elder saw through the subtle changes in her body at a glance.

"Oh my! Our little Huaxu has finally come to her senses!"

Elder Hua Yun grabbed Hua Xu Shi, who was trying to slip away, her face full of a gratified smile.

She leaned close to Huaxu's ear, her gaze gentle, her tone carrying a hint of playful teasing, yet still revealing the genuine concern of an elder for a younger. "Tell your aunt in detail, which exceptionally talented and valiant young man has such ability to capture the heart of our king?"

"Shouldn't you go and talk to the ancestors in our ancestral land right now, and bring my human sage to their door to knock him unconscious, then tie him up tightly with the Immortal Binding Rope and bring him back to marry you?"

Elder Hua Yun affectionately pulled her closer, her eyes scanning her up and down.

"Auntie...I...that's not it..."

In front of her aunt, whom she had watched grow up since childhood, Hua Xushi no longer possessed any of the dignity of a queen.

An indescribable feeling of shyness suddenly rose from the bottom of her heart, making her cheeks turn red to the roots of her ears.

She stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

"Alright, alright, look how embarrassed you are. Your aunt won't ask anymore."

Upon seeing this, Elder Hua Yun immediately understood.

Her smile widened, revealing an expression that said, "I know everything."

In this era, the human race is known for its open and simple customs.

Perhaps, it is just a perfect encounter under the moonlight, a man and a woman who are mutually attracted, that can join hands to complete the great and sacred event of procreation.

Or perhaps it's a dramatic "accident" where the man and woman fall in love at first sight and, without hesitation, knock one of them unconscious and take him home, using the most direct method to decide who will be the head of the household in the future.

In Elder Hua Yun's view, it was completely understandable that her niece, Hua Xu Shi, was unwilling to reveal the other party's name.

~~~
In a mysterious space, independent of all the heavens and myriad worlds, filled with strange and twisted laws.

This is the secret gathering place of the Chaos Gods.

Within this space, there are no sun, moon, or stars, only endless chaotic energy surging and churning, sometimes condensing into phantom images of mountains and rivers, and sometimes disintegrating into the most primitive form of energy.

One after another, majestic figures, exuding an ancient, wild, and powerful aura, stood silently in this strange space.

The figure of the Shadow Demon flickered constantly at the boundary between light and darkness, appearing both illusory and real.

His gaze slowly swept over each of his companions present. Some of those imposing figures were surrounded by raging flames, some were enveloped in endless ice, and some seemed to have merged into the darkness of the entire space.

He broke the silence of the space first, his voice hoarse and deep, as if it came from the depths of the netherworld.

"It seems everyone has arrived."

"In that case, let's discuss how to respond to Hongjun next."

As the Shadow Demon God finished speaking, a subtle ripple appeared in the previously silent atmosphere.

The vast majority of the demons present did indeed receive the message sent in the name of the [Balance Demon God].

However, they all chose to remain silent.

No one made any statement, as if the message was just a trivial breeze that would blow away and disappear.

They even went so far as to enlist the help of the [God of Wisdom] and use the artifact of destiny to completely block the signal that kept trying to contact them.

The Contract Demon God slowly shook his head. Countless chains made of law runes surrounded him, and each sway produced a crisp sound that contained the profound truths of the Great Dao.

His voice carried a solemnity and unquestionable authority, as if it were a contract.

"In my opinion, it's best not to respond to this matter."

He paused, a hint of mockery and disdain flashing in his eyes.

"Back then, after his defeat, we thought of our past friendship and took the initiative to go to him to offer our help."

"But what happened? Not only did he not appreciate it, he also rejected our kindness with harsh words, and even cursed us all, calling us rats."

"What, now that he's finally out of trouble, he's suddenly thinking about how good we were to him? There's no such thing as a free lunch!"

"that is!"

Upon hearing this, the Fire Demon God immediately echoed loudly. The raging Chaos Divine Fire on his massive body suddenly surged tens of thousands of feet high, scorching the surrounding chaotic air currents with a sizzling sound.

He let out a disdainful snort, the sound of which resounded throughout the space like a thunderclap.

"That old fellow has always been cunning and full of evil intentions!"

"If we actually believe his lies and choose to side with him again, we'll probably end up being sold out by him, and we'll still be foolishly counting money for him!"

However, the Shadow Demon God remained unmoved by his companions' fierce reactions.

He maintained his unique calmness and prudence, and slowly said:

"What I'm worried about isn't that I'll be taken advantage of if I cooperate with him."

"After all, we have so many demon gods, are we really going to be afraid of just one of them?"

"What I'm really worried about is what if, after Hongjun realizes he can't find us no matter what, he gets enraged and resorts to some unexpected and insidious means to deal with us? What should we do then?"

These words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up huge waves.

The demons, who had been indignant and righteous indignation, suddenly fell silent.

The entire strange space fell into a deathly silence once again.

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

The demons didn't believe for a second what good things Hongjun was up to.

However, if it's said that he intends to do something bad, the demons have to weigh the destructive power he might possess.

The demons looked at the [Shadow Demon God]: "Then, according to your suggestion, how should we contact Hongjun?"

The Shadow Demon said, "Why don't we turn the tables and strike first?"

"Bring him over and interrogate him to see what he's up to!"

"In a one-on-one fight, we might not be a match for him, but if we all go together, are we afraid he'll cause trouble?"

[Contract Demon God] pondered for a moment and said, "Then I will go find Fellow Daoist Wisdom. She has already successfully attained enlightenment. With her here, I don't think Hongjun can cause any trouble."

"agree!"

In that strange space, many imposing figures nodded.

~~~~
All heavens and worlds.

After searching tirelessly for the Demon God without success, the Heavenly Dao finally decided to forge the Myriad Soul Banner.

"You guys forced me to do this!"

The Heavenly Dao Spirit gave a soft snort.

Finding Shen Ni's legacy was actually a fairly simple matter for him.

Because when Shen Ni caused trouble, he was "spotted" by Hongjun, Yang Mei, Luo Hou, and Xuan Qing many times in turn.

Even many of the magical treasures that Hongjun and his companions possessed were stolen from Shenni.

If you search at various points in the river of time, you can unearth one or two relics.

"Let's go, let's go now," Tiandao Jing was about to take action.

The space-time around him suddenly became chaotic.

Terrifying figures emerged from various timelines, surrounding him.

Upon seeing this, the Heavenly Dao Spirit was overjoyed.

"Contract, Shadow, Old Fire, Wisdom... Oh dear, fellow Daoists, you've all arrived!"

"I miss you guys so much!"

The Heavenly Dao Spirit was overjoyed and extremely happy.

It's finally here!

His response was met with the eerie smiles of the Chaos Gods.

"Go together!"

woohoo~~~
A chaotic wind arose, and a monstrous tide that blotted out the sky submerged the essence of the Heavenly Dao.

"No...you guys are despicable!"

Tiandao Jing, half-heartedly resisting, fainted.

"take away!"

The demons took out a cloak, wrapped it around the Heavenly Dao Essence, opened the Demon God Gate, carried Him, and retreated immediately.

This was their first time working together, so they didn't dare to linger too long.

Because there are "river gods" on the river of time!

If the ferryman notices, or if it attracts the attention of the Time and Space Administration, then we'll be in big trouble.
