Primordial Era: When a Good Guy Awakens a Morally Unethical System

Di Jun: "I wonder where you fellow Daoists are cultivating. Meeting is fate, and it would be bad if we damaged your harmony."

If Fuxi's words implied that the gourd siblings also had a share, then Dijun's words carried a hint of threat, making them rather unpleasant.

At this moment, Di Jun was unaware that among the people present, damaging the harmony would only be bad for him.

"There are seven gourds here. We, the Three Pure Ones, will naturally take three. You can divide the rest among yourselves!" Yuanshi snorted coldly, not even glancing at Dijun.

Nuwa took two steps forward, about to speak, but Fuxi stopped her, though she was still indignant. Nine people were to share seven gourds, and they were going to take three, leaving six people to share four gourds. How were they supposed to divide them? By cutting them into pieces?

However, Fuxi, who already knew the identities of the Three Pure Ones, would not let Nuwa get angry. They were no match for each other in a one-on-one fight, let alone with the Three Pure Ones present.

After learning the identities of the Three Pure Ones, Di Jun stopped trying to compete with them and instead looked at Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi with scrutinizing eyes.

On one hand, they felt that if Hongyun and his companion traveled with the Three Pure Ones, and each of the Three Pure Ones occupied one spot, then Hongyun and his companion wouldn't compete. On the other hand, they also felt that anyone who could stand with the Three Pure Ones couldn't be an unknown nobody, and those who arrived earlier than them probably wouldn't want to give way.

Hongyun thought differently from everyone else: "There aren't three. Look, the last gourd isn't ripe yet."

While the group was sizing each other up, the gourd vines had matured, and all seven gourds had stopped growing. However, the last green gourd had stopped growing before it was mature and it didn't seem to have much spiritual energy.

In other words, if each of the Three Pure Ones occupies one of them, only two will remain.

Hongyun and Tongtian exchanged a glance. One provided cover while the other swiftly rushed forward and snatched two gourds. The four people opposite them reacted and tried to grab them, but they were all intimidated by Tongtian.

"Fellow Daoist, you've gone too far!" Taiyi shouted angrily, flicking his sleeves.

Hongyun presented the yellow gourd to Zhenyuanzi like a treasure.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tongtian quickly picked three and returned to Yuanshi's side.

Zhen Yuanzi smiled helplessly, took the treasure, and then handed it to the group opposite him: "I have not sensed the appearance of any spiritual treasure, which means this treasure is not meant for me. Hongyun can have one; let this one be given to someone who is destined to have it!"

Hongyun rolled her eyes and glared at Zhen Yuanzi, her joy gone to nothing!

Yuanshi, having witnessed the synchronized actions of Hongyun and Tongtian, realized he had misjudged them. There truly was another innate being of exceptional talent, just like Tongtian!

Taiyi's dissatisfaction went unanswered when he saw the yellow gourd flying over. Together with Nuwa, they reached out to snatch it, and after several exchanges, they managed to obtain the yellow gourd.

Fuxi did not participate in the struggle between Nuwa and Taiyi because he witnessed the last mature blue gourd on the gourd vine disappear into thin air, right before their very eyes.

After Nuwa's defeat, she blamed Fuxi. Dijun stepped in to help Taiyi, and her brother, though still in a daze, exclaimed, "Brother!"

Fuxi stared at the gourd vine, his expression grim: "The last gourd is gone too."

Only then did the group notice the changes on the gourd vine, and they all looked at each other, wondering when the other had taken the gourd away.

Everyone present was exceptionally talented and proud; to let someone take away a magical treasure right under their noses without them noticing was an insult.

After exchanging glances, the group remained silent for a long time. Since the Three Pure Ones had promised to give one to each of them, they would not do such a despicable thing. Since Zhen Yuanzi was willing to give up the yellow gourd, he would not be greedy. The four of them had been watching each other's actions closely, and even Fuxi, who had not yet made a move, had no chance to take the gourd.
