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

In this vast wilderness, countless innocent people have died unjustly. Does Hongyun intend to save them all?

Although these little golden crows were deceived, they ultimately caused the deaths of countless lives and deserved to die. The disciples Hongyun favored could be rescued, but the others were simply destined to perish.

Di Jun secretly made up his mind: "I earnestly request the Sage to impart the method of resurrection."

Zhen Yuanzi shook his head: "Your demon race is now burdened with karmic debts, and your fortune has been greatly damaged. Even if you know the method of resurrection, it will be of no use."

"Besides, their souls have already dissipated, so there is no chance of them being resurrected to make up for the damage they caused to the earth."

Xihe burst into tears instantly. She was overjoyed that Xiao Wu and Xiao Jiu could be resurrected, but saddened that her other three sons could not be resurrected. She even felt a little resentful in her heart, wondering why Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi could help, but only Xiao Wu and Xiao Jiu.

She knows her thoughts are wrong, but she can't control them when she's emotionally overwhelmed.

Hongyun sighed: "You may leave. I will not accept the demon prince as my disciple."

These few surviving little golden crows face numerous obstacles on their path of cultivation, and are constantly plagued by hardships. Taking them as disciples is not just a matter of imparting knowledge and skills, but also of bearing their sins and worrying about them constantly in the future.

Knowing he wasn't a responsible mentor, he simply decided to avoid the trouble.

Taiyi stepped forward and knelt before Zhenyuanzi: "Kong Xuan has cultivated diligently and made great progress in the Heavenly Court. He now commands tens of thousands of birds and beasts. I believe that given time, he will surely become a saint."

"I am willing to bestow upon you the Primordial Purple Qi to help Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan achieve sainthood one day. I only ask that the saint take the little golden crows into the Earthly Immortal Realm. They need no instruction; just give them a place to live."

Seeing their father, mother, and uncle humbly bowing down for them, the little golden crows began to sob. But they also knew that this was not a place for them to speak.

Xiao Er's eyes darted around. His mother said he was the smartest, and if he wanted the emperor to like him, he would have to come up with a plan.

"Please, Sage, accept me as your disciple! I know I am gravely guilty, but I want to live. Only by living can I atone for my sins. Please, Sage, accept me as your disciple!" Xiao Er lifted his head from Xi He's arms, trying to struggle free.

Zhen Yuanzi looked at the little boy who had spoken in Xihe's arms and suddenly smiled. He was bold and articulate; if this child grew up, he would certainly not be incompetent.

"How do you plan to atone for your sins?" Zhen Yuanzi asked with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Di Jun and Xi He both looked at Xiao Er, hoping he would say something that would please Zhen Yuanzi. Since they couldn't save all the children, they would save as many as they could.

"I... I don't know either. But I know that only by living can I do many things. I will strive to cultivate and become strong. Only by becoming strong like my father and like a saint can I save others."

The waiter's childish voice made Zhen Yuanzi laugh, though he was actually afraid, speaking haltingly and his eyes darting around. But he dared to speak, to the powerful figure he spoke of.

Zhen Yuanzi smiled and looked at Hongyun: "What do you think?"

Hongyun smiled too. He understood Zhen Yuanzi's meaning perfectly well, and simply said one word: "Worth it."

This child deserves Zhen Yuanzi's exception, and Zhen Yuanzi's appreciation for him deserves an exception. So what if he carries sins? As he said, as long as he lives, there is hope for redemption.
