Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

"No wonder she's been pregnant for so long and hasn't given birth yet; this isn't the kind of fetus a human should have!"

"She must be banished from the tribe; this monster will bring us disaster."

The voices of her people surged forth like a tide, each word piercing Huaxu's heart like a knife.

She touched her stomach, her face as pale as paper, her lips trembling as if she wanted to say something, but found that she couldn't speak at all. She looked at her father with pleading eyes.

Hua Xu Lie avoided Hua Xu Shi's gaze; he dared not look into those eyes!

At this moment, the clan's shaman, Huaxu Cang, stepped forward, leaning on his wooden staff. His cloudy eyes stared at Huaxu's belly, and his voice was old and cold:

"Hua Xu, you are the chieftain's daughter. We shouldn't be so heartless. But the arrival of this demon will inevitably bring endless disaster to the tribe. For the safety of the tribe, you must leave!"

Hua Xu finally regained her voice. She knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face like broken beads: "Father, Grandpa Cang, the child in my womb is not a demon, he is... he is...!"

She couldn't say it!

How could she explain that she saw a fruit that devoured lightning in the Thunder Swamp, and that the fruit ended up inside her?

A towering figure was reflected in the fruit. Saying this would only further convince the tribesmen that she was possessed by a demon.

Hua Xu took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and seemingly used all her strength. She waved her hand: "Give her some food and clothes, and let her leave!"

Hua Xu was carried step by step out of the tribe by human warriors holding spears.

The moment the tribe's gates slammed shut, Huaxu touched her unborn belly: "My child is not a monster! He is human! He is human!"

Hua Xu looked at the tightly closed gate, turned around, and walked towards the direction of Leize, where she could hope to survive safely.

After leaving the tribe, Huaxu found a cave at the foot of a mountain dozens of miles away and managed to settle down there!

With the area backed by the Thunder Swamp, there's no need to worry about wild beasts passing by.

However, as a pregnant woman, she had many difficulties moving around and could only rely on picking wild fruits to fill her stomach.

As night fell, thunder roared outside the cave, and she could only curl up inside, gently patting her stomach until she slowly fell asleep.

However, he was unaware that a figure would quietly arrive near the cave where he was every few days.

The figure put down a leather bundle containing dried meat, then turned and left, disappearing into the darkness.

The next day, Huaxu found a package wrapped in animal hide at the entrance of the cave. When she opened it, she found food inside. She was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes welled up with tears.

She knew it was sent by her father.

From then on, every few days, new food and clothing would appear at the cave entrance, and Huaxu silently accepted these supplies.

The resentment she felt towards her father gradually melted away with each act of quiet care.

She knew that her father had not abandoned her.

Time passed day by day, one year, two years, three years!

Hua Xu lived in this wilderness for three years.

For the first two years, Huaxu's belly did not continue to grow, and the fetus in her womb showed no abnormalities.

But starting from the third year, Huaxu began to gradually weaken, her face turned sallow, her body disintegrated, and the fetus in her womb seemed like a bottomless pit, continuously absorbing all the energy.

Even though Huaxu Lie brought more food, it did not change the increasingly weak condition of Huaxu Shi.

Just as Hua Xu was about to die, a figure suddenly appeared on a mountain peak not far from the cave. Looking at Hua Xu, the figure showed a trace of fear.

A golden gourd floated in front of him, its mouth slightly open, and a wisp of ethereal mist connected to the fetus in Huaxu's womb.

"Thank goodness, we finally found it!"

That figure was indeed Xuan Du.

After leaving Shouyang Mountain, he continued to search for the reincarnation of Fuxi.

However, the connection between the golden gourd and Fuxi had become extremely weak after hundreds of reincarnations!

Furthermore, due to the influence of this thunderous swamp, Xuandu found it difficult to pinpoint the true location of Fuxi's reincarnation.

He could only follow a faint sense of what was happening, constantly wandering among the human tribes.

Xuan Du looked at the woman at the foot of the mountain, who was almost exhausted, and the human who was silently guarding her in the distance, and let out a heavy sigh.

"Thankfully, we made it in time!"

He took out a Vermilion Fruit containing abundant essence, and used his magic to dissolve it. The Vermilion Fruit transformed into a crimson mist, which silently drifted towards the cave at the foot of the mountain and entered Hua Jushi's body.

While Hua was fast asleep, she suddenly felt a warm current flow into her body, like warm spring water, spreading throughout her entire body.

It nourishes her body while also gathering energy for the fetus in her womb.

The fetus inside her, which had been consuming her vital essence, instead began to absorb this warm energy, allowing her exhausted body to rest and recuperate!

Xuandu watched as Huaxu's face changed from pale to rosy, and let out a long sigh of relief.

The vermilion fruit, containing immense essence, was completely devoured by the fetus in Huaxu's womb in less than a day.

Just as the fetus was about to continue absorbing Hua Xu's essence, Xuan Du took out another spiritual herb containing profound Daoist energy, which transformed into wisps of mist and merged into Hua Xu's body, continuing to nourish the fetus's growth.

But this is only the beginning.

In the days that followed, Xuandu replenished Huaxu's essence with innate spiritual medicine every few days.

Nourished by these elixirs, Huaxu's body was not drained by the fetus; instead, it became even healthier than before.

And the fetus in the womb, nourished by these innate elixirs, is also constantly growing.

Xuandu could sense that Fuxi's true spirit was slowly merging with the fetus's body.

With each fusion of that true golden spirit, the fetus's essence increases, and the required vital energy also increases.

This is a long process that requires a lot of time and massive resources.

But Xuan Du didn't care.

He has protected Fuxi for hundreds of generations, so a few more years won't make a difference.

As for the spiritual herbs consumed, he didn't care about them at all.

Time passed little by little, one year, two years... six years!

Hua Xu lived in this wilderness for nine years.

In nine years, her belly only grew a little, but she was radiant and her skin was fair and rosy. Her strength even surpassed that of her father, who was the clan leader.

She didn't know who was helping her in secret, but she knew that someone or something was protecting her and her child.

After a long wait of twelve years, it has finally come to an end.

The sky was exceptionally clear that day.

Hua Xushi sat at the cave entrance, looking at the distant mountains, when she suddenly felt a terrifying suction force coming from her stomach.

The suction force was far greater than ever before. In an instant, it not only absorbed all the medicinal power contained in her body, but also her essence and vital energy...!
