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

As the light faded, two simple-minded boys appeared where Yu Sheng and Yu Heng had been kneeling in the hall.

Yes, that's right, she's just naive. Yu Sheng is a little better, she looks delicate and cute, but Yu Heng's eyebrows and eyes look silly and innocent.

Hongyun chuckled. No one in Dijun's family looks like that. Who does Yuheng resemble?

Yu Sheng and Yu Heng exchanged bewildered glances, asking incredulously, "We've grown up?"

"If you want to grow up, why don't you tell your teacher?" Hongyun asked in confusion.

Everyone was stunned. They didn't say... why?

Hongyun found Yuheng's expression increasingly amusing, especially his dazed look: "If Nuwa hadn't sent you clay figures, I wouldn't have known you disliked your current appearance. But usually, when I see you using your childlike looks to act cute and charming, I'm quite adept at it!"

Yu Sheng blushed. How could he say it was because he thought it was fun, and that children are so cute, they don't have to be punished for causing trouble?

Yuheng was more direct, saying, "Children don't even have to walk by themselves. They just get their cheeks pinched, are carried everywhere, and receive gifts—isn't that great!"

Hongyun couldn't help but laugh: "Hahaha~"

This child doesn't look particularly bright, but his inner self perfectly embodies the saying "appearance reflects the heart."

"The clay figures that Nuwa gave us were left over from when she created humans, and they can serve as vessels. If you attach your primordial spirits to these clay figures, you can grow. However, your true forms are innate spiritual jade, which, while unable to grow, can easily change your appearance to appear as humans," Hongyun explained the function of the clay figures to them.

Huiyu knelt before her two younger brothers, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Our disciples are about to depart for the mortal realm. Do the sages have any further instructions or admonitions?"

Hongyun secretly curled her lips, thinking, "He truly lives up to his reputation as Zhen Yuanzi's disciple; his composure is just like his."

However, Zhen Yuanzi's gentlemanly demeanor was all an act, and it's unknown how long Huiyu can keep up the act.

"Go to Jizhou and arrange the marriage between Su Daji of Jizhou and Boyi Kao of Xiqi." Hongyun didn't actually have any specific instructions, but since they asked, she remembered something.

The nine-tailed fox will surely still be after Su Daji's identity, and Su Daji will certainly not escape death then. Now that Su Daji is considered a disciple of Wuzhuang Temple, we naturally cannot let her be harmed by a demon.

Moreover, if Su Daji had lived, she might have become the matriarch of Xiqi, playing a very important role!

"Yes, then this disciple will set off immediately."

Hongyun nodded and watched them leave.

In the original Investiture of the Gods novel, Su Daji and Boyi Kao were the characters Hongyun felt were the most tragic. Both were pure and filial, without a single fault. One was possessed by a fox spirit because of her beauty, forced to flatter the enemy who destroyed her clan, and bore a thousand years of infamy. The other suffered in place of her father, being chopped into mincemeat, all to promote development and give Xiqi a legitimate reason to attack Yin Shang.

Therefore, when Hongyun had the power to change everything, their first priority was to save them. Bu Ran and Mo Wang had already taught them some magic, and with the help of others, they would surely survive this ordeal.

Hongyun took out the Demon-Summoning Banner, chanted an incantation, and sent the Nine-Headed Pheasant Spirit to Xiqi to find a way into Ji Chang's inner palace, gain his trust, and await new orders. At the same time, she told the Nine-Tailed Fox to enter the Chaoge palace, but not to act rashly, and to follow the instructions of the Grand Preceptor in all actions.

It's more fun when all sides have planted their own people to muddy the waters.
