Primordial Era: The Great Serpent of Yunmeng

Chapter 41 The Great Calamity Begins, Fortune Shifts

"The great calamity has begun."

Qi, who had just returned from recovering from her injuries, was somewhat puzzled when she heard this.

The great calamity has begun, what does it have to do with him?

Wait! The great calamity has begun?!

Seeing the surprised look in Qi's eyes, Taiyi emphasized again:

"Yes, the great calamity is about to begin," the Chaos Bell suddenly echoed in his mind, and then I had a feeling that the great calamity had begun.

"Shouldn't it still be over ten thousand years? How come it's suddenly been brought forward?"

"I don't know if you felt a sense of sorrow while you were in seclusion. Brother, Fuxi, Nuwa, and I all felt it."

Upon hearing this, Qi realized that the reason he had come out of seclusion was because of that sorrowful emotion that made it difficult for him to enter a meditative state.

This was the first time he had ever felt this emotion; it was a sense of sympathy for those of the same kind. He was puzzled, so he decided to leave seclusion and discuss it with Taiyi and the others.

He had just come out of the customs when he heard this news, which made him feel a little unreal.

The message was sent to Fuxi, Nuwa, and the three of them. They sat in the pavilion in the pond, their eyes filled with a hint of sadness, including Taiyi, who was usually the most innocent and pure.

"Shall we go take a look?"

Qi's voice was hesitant. He wanted to go to the northern lands to find out the reason for that sorrow.

But I don't want to burden my friends, after all, they are the truly important people.

"Let's go check it out. I'd like to know why too."

Nuwa's voice was not calm; she also wanted to know why this was the case.

Taiyi Dijun nodded in agreement.

"Alright! Let's make some preparations and then head to the Northern Continent to undergo our tribulation!"

Qi's voice was full of confidence and fearlessness.

It resembled the spirited scene that Taiyi had previously described to Nuwa.

With such like-minded people, what is there to be afraid of, even in the most desperate situations?

When Nuwa and Fuxi saw this scene, they finally understood the spirited Qi Taiyi had spoken of when they first met him.

After all, the former Qi was someone who would chase after Chaos and hinder the escape of the gods just because he was disturbed a few times.

People who, when they have nothing to do, can play music and water games by the Luo River.

However, with the approaching calamity of ferocious beasts, he, as the water god of Yunmengze, had to shoulder his responsibilities and become more composed.

Now that the decision has been made, pray to summon the White Spirit.

"Notify all tribes in Yunmeng to retreat to Yunmeng Marsh. At the same time, I will activate the great formation to protect the safety of Yunmeng Marsh."

"Even without the array's core, it's still absolutely impossible for an ordinary person to break through."

"A hundred years from now, we will face the great calamity together!"

Seeing Qi's confident demeanor, Di Jun and Tai Yi's sorrow was greatly dispelled.

This is the Qi they know.

In Taiyi's eyes, this Qi at this moment was the same Qi who was competing with him in Buzhou Mountain and was unwilling to stop behind him.

Seeing this scene, Fuxi and Nuwa felt much better.

The four of them responded together, saying:

"good!"

Meanwhile, in the Kunlun Mountains, a figure had already set off, heading north.

Shortly afterward, three more figures emerged from Kunlun, also heading north.

Such events continued to occur, and eventually, almost half of the innate deities in the entire prehistoric world rushed towards the northern continent at different times and places.

At Yujing Mountain, Hongjun stood up from the futon, and after a moment, sat down again.

On Mount Sumeru, Rahu opened his eyes, then closed them again.

The same applies to the Five Elements, Qiankun, and others.

In a space within the chaos, Yang Mei sighed and said:

"In the primordial world that followed, the world has changed for us innate deities."

The fortunes of heaven and earth underwent a dramatic and imperceptible change.

The fortune possessed by the innate deities has changed. The fortune of heaven and earth remains unchanged, but a large part of the fortune of all living beings possessed by the innate deities has been lost.

In this part, the fate of all living beings was distributed to all races under heaven.

From this moment on, the innate sacred was no longer as inviolable as before.

This had a tremendous impact on destiny, even surpassing the impact of many innate deities entering the Void to slumber.

Qi and the others also sensed this change.

"My luck seems to be slipping away, but not by much."

Qi addressed the crowd.

Nuwa frowned slightly, feeling that her fortune was rapidly depleting, as was Fuxi's.

Di Jun didn't feel anything, similar to Qi, he lost some, but not much.

Taiyi felt nothing. His fortune was suppressed by the Chaos Bell. Although a little bit was lost, it was indistinguishable from his original fortune.

After discussing the reasons, the group finally discovered some clues through comparison.

Qi's fortune mainly comes from Yunmengze and the creatures that once existed in Yunmengze. Yunmengze is currently thriving in terms of water resources and has no external threats.

The creatures of Yunmengze also treated Qi with utmost respect, offering sacrifices and worship year after year, and their development continued to flourish, without affecting the changes in their fortune.

Di Jun and Tai Yi are the stars of the Sun, possessing the fortune of the Sun, and the sunlight shines on all things, constantly accumulating merit for them.

Taiyi has the Chaos Bell to boost its fortune, making its fortune extremely stable.

Nuwa and Fuxi are different. They are not mountain gods of Phoenix Mountain, and the number of beings who believe in them is not large. Their main fortune comes from their own innate divinity and the fortune bestowed upon them.

Therefore, the loss of innate divine fortune at this time has the greatest impact on the two of them, and they feel it most clearly.

However, after a short while, they also felt the flow of fortune returning. Although it was not as stable and expansive as before, it was still the most important part of the fortune in the world.

After the various tribes of Yunmeng were successfully settled, and Bai Ling was instructed to guard their home, the five of them headed towards the northern continent.

As they get closer to the northern continent, the speed at which their fortune flows back increases, until their size is almost the same as before.

"It seems I need to refine a primordial spiritual treasure as soon as possible. Without it to suppress my fortune, things will still be quite unstable."

Nuwa sighed.

She possesses numerous spiritual treasures, many of which are of high quality, but her cultivation level was insufficient in the past to refine them.

Once one's cultivation level is sufficient, one becomes distracted by other matters, and the existence of spiritual treasures occupies one's mind and consciousness, making it even more difficult to refine them.

"You really should put more effort into it. It's good to focus on comprehending the Great Dao, but you can't do without the means to protect it. The same goes for Fellow Daoist Fuxi."

Taiyi, standing nearby, admonished:

"You two siblings have rather mediocre methods of protection; you'll still need to put in some effort. Otherwise, how will you cope when calamity strikes?"

Fuxi looked ashamed and nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Then Taiyi said:

"If you really don't have the energy, I do have a few magical spells here. You can pick some that suit you and take a look."

"Then my brother and I will thank you, Fellow Daoist Taiyi."

When Nuwa heard about this wonderful opportunity, she readily agreed.

Taiyi didn't mind this, but he still warned them:

Ultimately, only by developing and applying spells and supernatural powers oneself can one truly be suited to oneself. Moreover, it is best to minimize the involvement of outsiders in the means of protecting one's path.

"It's best not to tell anyone. If you don't take it seriously, you'll only end up hurting yourself."

Seeing the seriousness with which Taiyi spoke, the two dared not be negligent, after all, discussing this matter was for their own survival.

Both of them answered:

"Fuxi (Nuwa), I will heed your advice, fellow Daoist."

Seeing that the two had taken his words to heart, Taiyi said no more. He simply took out a scroll, handed it to them, and turned to leave.
