Primordial Era: Something's Wrong with This Generation of Witch Clan

Chapter 59: Determining the Twelve Zodiac Animals, Dialogue with the Candle Dragon

Seeing that Pan Huang was unfazed by the sage's pressure, Nuwa's brows furrowed even deeper. ☺🐯 ➅9ร𝐇𝕌𝕩.COM 💲🐉

"If there's nothing else, Goddess Nuwa, I'll return to the Primordial World now. There are still a lot of things for the human race to do," Pan Huang said calmly.

"Stop!" said the goddess Nuwa.

"Stop? Stop what? Please, Goddess Nuwa, give us your guidance?" Pan Huang said with a smile.

"I am both the Holy Mother of the Human Race and the second Sage of the Primordial World. Although there are some things I cannot calculate clearly, I can at least get a rough idea! You have overstepped your bounds." Nuwa stared intently at Panhuang and said, word by word.

"Overstepping boundaries? I don't think so. I'm merely paving the way for humanity. Since Goddess Nuwa is the Holy Mother of humanity, she shouldn't stop me!"

"Humans don't need you to pave the roads; humans have their own roads to pave!"

"Oh? So you're using human lives to pave the way, Goddess Nuwa!" Pan Huang's smile vanished, replaced by a cold glint in his eyes.

When Nuwa heard Panhuang's words, her expression changed slightly. She didn't speak, but her expression was complicated because she didn't know what to say.

"Since Goddess Nuwa has nothing to say, then this humble Taoist has a few words to say!" Pan Huang grinned when he saw that Nuwa remained silent.

"As the second sage of the primordial world and a member of the human race, Goddess Nuwa should have some concern for humanity, right? Since you care about humanity, you should know what I've been doing among them, wouldn't you agree?"

"Furthermore, when the human race was first created, I told Goddess Nuwa that I had the ability to bring the human race to the position of the protagonist of heaven and earth. Based on what I have done for the human race, I believe Goddess Nuwa should be able to guess my intentions."

"But, Goddess Nuwa, you chose another path, another path that you believe is right, didn't you?" Pan Huang looked at Goddess Nuwa.

"I'm doing this for the good of humanity!" Nuwa said, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Yes! You said you were doing this for the good of humanity, but with just that one sentence, you caused one-fifth of our human race to die tragically at the hands of the demon race. You really are a good mother to humanity!" Pan Huang said with a mocking expression.

"Panhuang, my patience has its limits." Seeing Panhuang's sarcastic remarks, Nuwa finally couldn't hold back and exploded.

"Goddess Nuwa, you should just quietly remain the Holy Mother of Humanity from now on, otherwise, your status as the Holy Mother of Humanity may be in jeopardy! The destiny of humanity on your body will also be in jeopardy." Pan Huang ignored Nuwa's rage and said calmly.

Before Nuwa could get angry again, he took out the Kongtong Seal. Once the Kongtong Seal was taken out, Nuwa swallowed her words.

"Humans are not your appendages, nor are they anyone's appendages, including me. I will not be an appendage of humanity either. So don't presume to act as your advocate for humanity, or you will lose your holy position. That's all I have to say." Pan Huang said this calmly to Nuwa before disappearing from her sight.

After Pan Huang disappeared, an aura filled with anger and tyranny permeated the entire Nuwa Palace, but soon this tyrannical aura subsided, as if nothing had happened.

After returning to the prehistoric world, Panhuang stopped exploiting the future emperor. His behavior at Nuwa Palace, seemingly disrespectful to Nuwa, was actually an expression of his dissatisfaction with her indifference towards the human race and her indulgence of the demon race.

In reality, Pan Huang does not yet have the power to depose Nuwa as the Holy Mother. If he had said this during the Investiture of the Gods or later, it might have been possible.

Since he couldn't get any benefits from the future emperor, Panhuang decided to bring out the twelve zodiac animals ahead of time. As for legislation, he would wait, since time was really worthless in the current prehistoric world, and ordinary human beings had a lifespan of three to five hundred years.

If we were to use a later calendar in the present day, the average lifespan of humans might reach a thousand years.

If we establish the twelve zodiac animals now, let them operate according to the existing calendar of the prehistoric world for the time being. As for the later calendar, we'll talk about that later.

The idea of ​​the twelve zodiac animals originated during the previous war with the Lich King, because among the races that helped humanity, all except the dragons came.

On the shores of the East China Sea, lies the holy city of humanity!

"The three of you should contact the races that helped us before and tell them that I have a great opportunity for them as a reward for their help to the human race," Pan Huang said to the three ancestors of the human race.

"Yes, Holy Master!" Suirenshi and the others nodded.

When those people of various races heard Pan Huang say that he would give them a great opportunity, the smiles on their faces were harder to suppress than an AK!

What are humans now? They're incredibly valuable! With humans, you can gain massive amounts of merit no matter what you do. If they get on the human bandwagon, they might become a major race in the prehistoric world.

Soon, the patriarchs of the twelve races met with Pan Huang in the human holy city. Upon meeting them, Pan Huang didn't mince words and directly introduced the concept of the twelve zodiac animals.

"Once you become the Zodiac of the Human Race, you will be bound to the Human Race. We will share both glory and loss. I will give you time to think it over. If you are unwilling, I will not force you," Pan Huang said to the clan leaders before him.

"If we are unwilling, can we still form an alliance with the human race?" The patriarch of the Nine-Tailed Spirit Cat clan asked Pan Huang.

"Okay!" Pan Huang nodded as he looked at the Spirit Cat Clan Chief in front of him.

"We don't want to be tied to the human race, but we do want to form an alliance with them and become their most loyal allies," the Spirit Cat Chieftain said, standing up.

"Alright! I promise that my human race will never mistreat your Spirit Cat race. Even in the future, as long as there is food for the human race, your Spirit Cat race will not go hungry." Pan Huang nodded.

At the same time, he was also thinking to himself that perhaps this was the origin of cat keeping in later generations. Also, another reason why the spirit cat clan was unwilling to be bound to the human race might be the spirit-devouring rats. They were natural enemies, and it was only because of the human race that they did not fight each other.

"Then we'll take our leave now," said the Spirit Cat Clan Chief before departing from the Human Temple.

"Looks like I'll have to make another trip to the Dragon Clan, otherwise I won't be able to collect all twelve zodiac animals. I thought I could transform the twelve zodiac animals, but I was too young!" Pan Huang thought to himself after the Spirit Cat Clan Chief left.

"You may spend a few days enjoying yourselves in this holy city of the human race. I will be going to the East Sea. Once I return from the East Sea, the twelve zodiac animals can be established," Pan Huang said to the clan leaders before disappearing from the spot.

When Pan Huang arrived at the East Sea Dragon Palace, he was stopped, but the shrimp soldiers and crab generals guarding the gate did not act arrogantly, after all, they were no longer the dragons of the past.

"Please wait a moment, Ancestral Witch, I will go and report to the Dragon King immediately."

"Hmm!" Pan Huang nodded.

Before long, Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, personally went out and led Pan Huang into the Dragon Palace.

"I wonder what instructions Panhuang the Ancestral Witch has for my Eastern Sea?" Ao Guang asked humbly.

Because the current dragon race still carries a huge burden of karma, and they are no longer the dragon race of the past. Even if they have some foundation, they still cannot compare with the current witch race.

"I've come to bestow upon you a great fortune, a truly great fortune!" Pan Huang said, looking at Ao Guang.

"Could the Ancestral Witch explain in detail?" Ao Guang asked.

"Can you make the decision? If you can't, then let Zhulong come out. I'll talk to him; this concerns the future of the dragon race." Panhuang smiled and looked at Ao Guang.

"Alright!" Ao Guang's eyes flickered slightly when he heard the words "Candle Dragon," but in the end he nodded.

The Dragon Abyss of the East Sea is a forbidden area of ​​the East Sea, even higher in status than the Dragon Tomb, because it is the last remaining treasure of the East Sea and the place where the Candle Dragon secluded himself.

Zhulong, the younger brother of Zulong, is also the only old monster who survived the war between the three races. However, Zhulong is now practically dead because he is burdened with too much karma. This karma torments Zhulong to no end. Most of the time, Zhulong is asleep, as this is the only way he can feel a little better.

"You want to see me?" Upon arriving at Dragon Abyss, a huge dragon head emerged from the abyss, followed by a deep voice in Pan Huang's ears.

"Yes, I'm here to give you a great opportunity."

"What do my dragon race need to give up?" Zhulong didn't even ask what kind of great fortune it was, but directly asked about the price that needed to be paid.

Because he knew that there was no free lunch in this vast world, and everything gained would come at a price.

"Do you know about the human race?" Pan Huang asked.

Zhulong shook his head, because he had been asleep and knew nothing about the affairs of the prehistoric world. Seeing this, Ao Guang quickly explained the affairs of the human race to Zhulong.

"Is the great fortune you spoke of the human race?" Zhulong asked.

"right!"

"I'll say it again, what price should my dragon race pay?" Zhulong repeated his previous words.

"Bound to my human race, serve the human race, and protect the human race." Pan Huang didn't mince words and said directly.

"Since you know me, fellow Daoist, you must also know about the Dragon Clan, right? Do you believe that my Dragon Clan has the strength to protect and safeguard others?" Zhulong said with a smile.

"If I say it exists, then it exists!" Pan Huang stared at the enormous, ancient dragon head before him and said calmly.

"Since you say so, fellow Daoist, then I will accept on behalf of the Dragon Clan. Anyway, my Dragon Clan is already in this state, how much worse can it get?" Zhulong said with a smile.

"In that case, I won't disturb you any longer, senior. I'll discuss the rest with the Dragon King." Pan Huang nodded, because he could see the suppressed pain on Zhulong's face.

"Hmm!" Zhulong hummed in response, then retreated back into the Dragon Abyss to continue his slumber.

……

"This is the great fortune I was talking about. As long as you become one of the twelve zodiac animals, the dragon clan will be able to gain merit, and Senior Zhulong's condition should also improve a lot. Also, I have a very good relationship with the Styx River, and I can even borrow the Karmic Fire Red Lotus for you." Pan Huang said to Ao Guang.

"Thank you, Ancestral Witch Panhuang. My Dragon Clan accepts the twelve zodiac animals." Ao Guang nodded.

"Alright, then come back to the Holy City of Humanity with me." Pan Huang nodded.

He originally wanted to tell people about the totem, but after thinking about it, he gave up and decided to put the matter of becoming a totem on hold for now.

After all, this is about the twelve zodiac animals. If totems were added to the twelve zodiac animals, it might make other races uncomfortable, since the dragon race is not as powerful as other races now.

After returning to the Holy City, the three ancestors of the human race had already set up the altar and were just waiting for Panhuang's sacrificial ceremony.

"The Great Dao is above! I am the leader of the Human Sect. Today, I have set up twelve zodiac guardian beasts for the human race to protect the human race. The twelve zodiac animals are Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. One zodiac animal per year, and twelve years is a cycle. Twelve zodiac animals, stand!" Pan Huang shouted from the altar.

The next second, a muffled thunder sounded, and the Heavenly Merit appeared. One-tenth of it fell on Pan Huang, while the remaining nine-tenths fell on the twelve zodiac animals.

Pan Huang was a little puzzled as to why this time it was a meritorious deed of the Heavenly Dao, but he quickly stopped thinking about it. Anyway, the twelve zodiac animals had been established, so what did it matter if it was the Great Dao or the Heavenly Dao? As long as it was a meritorious deed, he would accept it.

After the twelve zodiac animals received the merit, their auras instantly began to rise, quickly reaching the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint. Furthermore, a trace of human energy and faith power appeared on their bodies, bestowed upon them by the human race, for from this moment on, they were the zodiac guardian deities of the human race.

After they became the guardian deities of the Chinese zodiac, the fortune of their race began to soar, and they were showing signs of becoming a great race in the primordial world.

This time, all the races of the prehistoric world were astonished. Not only could the human race gain merit themselves, but they could also help other races gain merit, which caused a stir among all the races of the prehistoric world.

On the Dragon Clan's side, after gaining merit, the Dragon Clan's Zodiac Guardian did not absorb it. He wanted to bring it back to the Candle Dragon Ancestor, but Pan Huang told him to absorb it without worry, as the Candle Dragon didn't need his merit.

Pan Huang also told him to return to the East Sea first, and that he would later lead people to help Zhulong.

A sea of ​​blood.

"Fellow Daoist Styx, come with me to the East Sea and help Zhulong remove the karma on his body," Panhuang said to Styx.

"No problem!" Styx nodded.

Karmic Fire Red Lotus is the natural nemesis of karma, and burning karma can enhance its power, so he is very willing to do this.

After arriving at the East Sea, Panhuang and Minghe, led by Ao Guang, headed straight for Longyuan. Upon arriving at Longyuan, Panhuang did not wake Zhulong, but instead signaled Minghe to act first.

Styx nodded and threw the Karmic Fire Lotus towards Dragon Abyss. After being thrown, the Karmic Fire Lotus landed steadily above Dragon Abyss, and the next second, dark red karma was drawn up from Dragon Abyss.

When the karma landed on the karmic fire lotus, blood-red flames immediately appeared on the lotus platform. The flames were not hot, but they gave people an extremely dangerous feeling, because this was the karmic fire after the karma had burned. As long as a little bit of this karmic fire touched you, it could burn your primordial spirit to ashes and it would be impossible to extinguish. After all, no primordial being's primordial spirit was free from karma.
