Primordial Era: Refusing Hongjun's path to sainthood, I attained the Dao of Hunyuan.

Chapter 96 Destiny

The Three Lights Divine Water was collected by Xuanhuang through his avatar, the Great Emperor Ziwei, some time ago.

The Three Lights Divine Water is a combination of three divine waters: Starlight Divine Water, Moonlight Divine Water, and Sunlight Divine Water.

Each of these three divine waters is highly poisonous; even immortals would die if they consumed them. However, when the three are combined, they become a miraculous healing elixir with unparalleled efficacy.

The reason why the Three Lights Divine Water and the Nine Heavens Breath Soil were taken out together was because they were essential for Nuwa to create humans and become a saint.

Nuwa visited this time.

It was the guidance of the heavens in the darkness.

Nuwa is about to create humans.

Xuanhuang did not intend to withhold the Nine Heavens Breath Soil and the Three Lights Divine Water, thereby delaying the time for Nuwa to create humans and become a saint.

Because it makes no sense.

He couldn't stop it.

Even if he didn't give Nuwa the Nine Heavens Breath Soil and the Three Lights Divine Water, Nuwa might have obtained them through other means.

There is even a possibility that Hongjun will personally intervene and ask him to hand it over.

Fate is unpredictable.

Xuanhuang sighed inwardly, then with a flick of his sleeve, he put away the Three Lights Divine Water and the Nine Heavens Breath Soil.

Although Heaven is impartial.

But this selflessness is not the kind of selflessness that is commonly understood.

Just like the last time, during the war between the Lich King and the Demon King, Hongjun intervened to mediate and decreed that the Demon King should rule the heavens and the Lich King should rule the earth, thus ending the great war.

You ask Hongjun, who is also the Heavenly Dao, why would He do this? If the Heavenly Dao is impartial, shouldn't He remain high above, coldly observing the vicissitudes of the world?

They shouldn't have interfered in the Lich War at all, right?

Previously, when Xuanhuang broke the Zhou Tian Star Array, forcing Dijun and others to the brink of death, Hongjun also appeared.

Is Hongjun biased towards Dijun, Taiyi, and others?

No.

In fact, in the primordial world, all living beings possess a certain destiny in the dark.

Since the destinies of Di Jun, Tai Yi, and others have not yet ended, Xuanhuang cannot kill them or suppress them.

The great war between the Lich and Demon races was also ordained by fate and should not have ended so easily.

Mandate of Heaven, Mandate of Heaven, even if one becomes a saint, one probably cannot easily defy it.

Xuanhuang felt that his cultivation was still extremely long, and he was afraid that even if he could attain enlightenment now and become a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.

Although they are more free than saints, changing destiny and altering certain things is not so easy.

The higher one's realm, the higher one's cultivation, the greater one's Taoist practice, the more awe one will feel towards the Way of Heaven and the Mandate of Heaven.

This is not fear, but a matter of course. Just as the weak should naturally respect the strong.

If the strong are not respected by the weak, then there is no difference between them, and how can they be called strong?

The same applies to the way of Heaven.

Having sorted out his thoughts, Xuanhuang called to the two boys outside the door, "Xuanyu, Huangyu, you two go outside the island and wait for your Aunt Nuwa to arrive."

The two boys responded and left.

Meanwhile, Nuwa came to Yingzhou Island and entered the East Sea. She found that the scenery of the East Sea was very different from that of the primordial land.

The primordial land is currently under the rule of the Wu tribe, and it has not been long since then, so it is in a state of chaos.

Many creatures that refused to submit to the rule of the Witch Clan, or those that were identified by the Witch Clan as demons, were frequently hunted down.

It can be said that although the great war between the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan has ended, their open and covert struggles have never stopped.

Although the demon race resides in the Thirty-Three Heavens, the Thirty-Three Heavens possesses abundant resources sufficient to support the demon race's reproduction and growth.

However, since the demon race originated from the primordial land, it is impossible to make them completely abandon it.

Therefore, the demon race has never stopped its various infiltrations into the primordial land and even the witch race.

All these factors combined meant that the primordial land was never at peace; undercurrents were always surging, with various conspiracies, schemes, and small-scale battles and conflicts. Even Nuwa felt heavy-hearted upon seeing this.

Ten cycles later, the Lich and Demon races will fight again. What will the true unfolding of the Great Calamity look like?

And what will I do when the time comes? What about my brother?

Will we remain neutral like last time? I doubt that's possible.

However, after arriving at the East Sea, Nuwa, who was burdened with worries, gradually had all her thoughts and anxieties dispelled by the scenery of the East Sea.

In the East Sea, although there is some conflict, neither the Witch nor the Demon race has really gotten involved yet.

Therefore, the environment in the East China Sea is still very peaceful. Moreover, the scenery of the sea is always refreshing.

Nuwa slowed down considerably as she admired the scenery.

But no matter how far the journey, it eventually comes to an end. Finally, Nuwa arrived at Yingzhou Island. As soon as she landed in front of the island, two boys called out to her, "Are you Aunt Nuwa?"

Nuwa was in a good mood and nodded.

The boy with the black jade bowed and said, "Master Uncle, our teacher told us to wait for you here. Please come with us to the island."

"Um."

Nuwa said, "Then you can lead the way."

The two boys led Nuwa to the island, where the scenery was excellent. There were waterfalls, lush trees, birdsong and fragrant flowers, and all kinds of rare and exotic animals. It was extremely quiet and peaceful.

Along the way, there was another grove of green bamboo, but it was enclosed by a restrictive spell. Nuwa blinked, looked at it for a while, and quickly recognized it. She couldn't help but think to herself, "So this is the origin of my junior brother's treasure."

"Furthermore, this bamboo hasn't been severed at the roots and has so many offspring. However, it really should be fenced off; how could ordinary creatures possibly get close?"

After passing the bitter bamboo, we saw many more spiritual roots along the way. There were several spiritual roots in front of the Xuanhuang Hall. Although they were also innate, they were not considered rare.

The two boys led Nuwa to the palace gate, but instead of opening the door and going in, they went around to the back of the palace.

It was a courtyard, somewhat similar to the backyard of Zhen Yuanzi's Wuzhuang Temple, but there were no ginseng fruit trees.

There was only one shed, and gourd vines were climbing all over it.

Xuanhuang was busy catching insects for the gourd vine, and he casually tossed the insects he caught into a pond next to him.

The water in the pool shimmered with a faint tri-colored light, clearly indicating that it was mixed with the Three Lights Divine Water.

A group of carp were kept in the pond. Xuanhuang threw the insects in, and the carp in the pond jumped up to compete for the food.

"Junior brother, you certainly have a lot of free time and a good interest," Nuwa said with a smile when she saw Xuanhuang.

"Ha ha."

Upon hearing this, Xuanhuang stopped what he was doing and laughed, "That's right, there's nothing for me to do right now."

"It's just doing odd jobs to pass the time."

"Is this the same gourd vine that my junior brother saved on Mount Buzhou?" Nuwa asked again.

"Um."

Xuanhuang nodded and said, "However, I didn't expect that this innate spiritual root could also be infested with insects. I have to take care of it, which is quite troublesome."

Nuwa couldn't help but laugh and said, "Come on, junior brother, you've received such a great benefit, yet you're still not satisfied."

"Please have a seat, senior sister."

Xuanhuang stopped his banter, went to the stone table, invited Nuwa to sit down, and said, "I wonder what brings you here, Senior Sister?"

Nuwa then sat down on the stone bench opposite Xuanhuang, blinked, and said, "Junior brother, why don't you guess why I've come?"

Xuanhuang shook his head and said, "I won't guess. There's no benefit in guessing correctly, is there?"

Nuwa glared at Xuanhuang in anger and said, "Junior brother, is this how you usually talk?"
