Primordial Era: The Great Serpent of Yunmeng

Chapter 82: The Arrival of Yang Mei, a Wake-Up Call (Please subscribe, updates for the sake of the Immortal Qi Tian Alliance Leader, 210 chapters)

"What does that mean?"

Qi was somewhat curious.

"I wonder if everyone still remembers that fellow Daoist who departed due to the calamity of the ferocious beasts."

Fuxi reminded him.

"Of course I remember. Blood rained down from the sky, all things grieved, and everyone's fortune suddenly vanished. How could I possibly forget such a situation?"

Nuwa answered from the side.

"You mean, is it the influence of that fellow Daoist's passing away? But he wasn't someone indispensable to heaven and earth, so he shouldn't have that ability."

Di Jun retorted.

"No, he was important, at least to the group of innate saints. He was the first innate saint to pass away."

Qi's expression was solemn, while Taiyi seemed to be deep in thought.

Fuxi then began to explain his thoughts, saying:

"His departure had an indelible impact; otherwise, it would not have led to the loss of so much innate divine fortune."

"There must be some key to this that we can't even imagine. It is because of this change that the innate deities have become impatient under the influence of destiny."

Everyone was pondering what kind of change could have affected this group that had always been at the pinnacle of the primordial world since ancient times.

This has caused this ancient and beautiful group to lose its former composure and become restless.

People are comparing themselves to the situation and discover that not only they, but also they themselves, have become increasingly impatient without realizing it.

He began to relentlessly pursue power, forcing himself to move forward, completely losing his former tranquility and detachment from worldly concerns.

"The status of the innate deities is no longer unshakeable, because all living beings have begun to realize that the innate deities can also die."

As soon as Qi said this, the air fell silent, and Taiyi, Dijun, and the others all turned their gazes to Qi.

"Although people weren't consciously aware of it, they all acted this way because of the influence of fate."

"The creatures of the primordial world may not know this yet, but the mountain that once stood at the pinnacle of humanity is no longer unshakeable."

"So everyone became impatient. Although we didn't know why, our subconscious was urging us to move forward."

"Because no one wants to become dust of the times and end up disappearing into the Tao."

"Furthermore, with the emergence of the Heavenly Dao, we, the innate deities, have discovered that we can no longer control the changes in the future. Such unprecedented changes will naturally cause everyone to lose their composure."

After Qi finished speaking, everyone's expression was one of extreme shock and embarrassment, including Qi's.

Because they discovered that this was the only way to explain the current changes.

Before the great calamity of ferocious beasts, where would so many innate deities have been active on the prehistoric continent?

When Qi traveled through the primordial world, the first time he normally encountered other innate deities was when he met the brothers Taiyi and Dijun at Buzhou Mountain.

The same applies to Fuxi and Nuwa later on; they could only have met in a place as special as Buzhou Mountain.

How could there be so many innate deities walking in the primordial world as there are now?

Before the great calamity of ferocious beasts, even among the creatures of Yunmengze, few knew of the existence of people like Qi. How could it be like now, where everyone can call out the names of several innate saints?

"So, everyone is afraid, is that right?"

Di Jun's voice was dry and hoarse.

But no one seems to be in the mood to answer right now.

As everyone remained silent, a willow branch descended from the sky, its shape resembling a raised eyebrow.

The sudden turn of events drew everyone's attention and broke the previous somber atmosphere.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, and that his eyes were bloodshot, Yang Mei was startled.

I immediately examined my clothes to see if there was anything unusual about them.

Qi and the others finally reacted, quickly cupped their hands in greeting, and said in unison:

"Qi (Di Jun, Nuwa, Fuxi, Taiyi) greets the Great God."

After instinctively returning the greeting with raised eyebrows, he asked:

"What's wrong with you all, fellow Daoists? Why are you all behaving this way? This is quite different from the Daoists I know."

In Yang Mei's memory, Qi, Taiyi, and the others were the most outstanding innate saints of the new generation, full of vigor and spirit, just like they were back then.

They were a group of people full of vitality, and their backgrounds, luck, and talent were all excellent. He was now curious about what kind of problem could possibly trap such young people.

The group looked at each other, and finally brought up their guess.

Yang Mei listened and then laughed:

"That is indeed one of the reasons, but have you ever thought that the main reason is that these innate deities have no way out?"

"And I also want to make my voice heard in the primordial world. After all, I remember you young people were quite traumatized during the great calamity of the ferocious beasts."

"There is no such thing as forgetting; it's just that they themselves don't value it. The divine way values ​​the three realms most highly because they are the manifestation of authority and divine power."

"When the power of authority is greater than one's own, one naturally values ​​authority highly. But when one possesses power greater than authority itself, how can one possibly value authority as much as before?"

"At that time, authority will no longer be a means for you to protect the Way, but will become a shackle that binds you."

"Young Qi, you've always prided yourself on being clear-headed, but in my opinion, do you really have a clear understanding of yourself?"

"You value authority and responsibility so much now only because, compared to your current strength, as the God of Water of Yunmengze, wielding the Water Control Staff, you hold a special position among the water gods."

"With these identities, you can make your voice heard more powerfully in the vast world, which is the fundamental reason why you now value authority and responsibility."

"But this is only human nature. The Ancestral Dragon and the others did the same thing before. Otherwise, the Dragon Mother should have been the first innate deity to pass away."

"If it weren't for the authority protecting them back then, the dragon race would have been wiped out. The dragon race back then was much more important than you, kid."

"Think about it, if there were no authority, do you think the First Emperor would have willingly accepted the beating? It was only because he was protected by authority that he could not break the rules of authority."

"Do you really think that with your current strength, you can stand shoulder to shoulder with Zu Long and the others, and discuss the Dao?"

"The one sitting and discussing Dao with them isn't you, Qi boy, but the water god of Yunmengze, not the innate holy god Qi, understand?"

Yang Mei delivered a wake-up call to Qi, almost shattering Qi's understanding of the world.

Seeing that Qi had listened, he then said to Fuxi:

"Fuxi is such a troublemaker. You're not some kind of earth deity. Someone can easily set a trap for you, and you just walk right into it."

"You are a god of the human realm, what do the affairs of the earth gods have to do with you? All things are governed by cause and effect, and the three realms exist independently yet are interconnected without disturbing each other. This is the principle of the divine way."
