Primordial Era: Mistakenly Taking Emperor Xin as Father, Nuwa is Destroyed at the Start

In the seventh year of Emperor Xin's reign, in the second month of spring.

Yuan Futong, one of the seventy-two lords of Beihai, rebelled. King Zhou issued an edict ordering Grand Tutor Wen Zhong to march north to suppress the rebellion.

March 15th is the birthday of the goddess Nuwa.

Under the strong persuasion of Prime Minister Shang Rong, King Zhou decided to personally go to Nuwa Palace to offer incense.

On their way to offer incense, trouble struck when they were attacked by assassins.

Fortunately, King Wu Cheng, Huang Feihu, intervened in time to save them, thus averting disaster.

However, in the ensuing chaos, King Zhou and Huang Feihu were separated from their main guard.

……

Outside Chaoge City, in the suburbs not far from the Nuwa Temple.

The two of them looked quite disheveled.

Huang Feihu, supporting King Zhou (Di Xin), asked anxiously:

"Your Majesty, are you alright?"

He then couldn't help but burst into a tirade against the traitors:

"These lunatics! They're utterly depraved! Just because the King advocates abolishing human sacrifice, they dare to assassinate him!"

Di Xin took a breath and waved his hand:

"I'm fine."

Although he looked disheveled, his tone of voice and demeanor still retained that imperial air.

Huang Feihu was still very uneasy and worriedly advised:

"Your Majesty, I find today's events quite strange. Moreover, there's been much discussion both inside and outside the court lately, and people are restless. Perhaps... we shouldn't go to the Nuwa Palace today? We can go to offer sacrifices another day?"

Di Xin refused without hesitation:

"Don't let a small mishap prevent you from eating!"

He added firmly:

"My trip to the Nuwa Palace to offer sacrifices is to gain the Empress's approval. Everything I have done is for the sake of the Great Shang Dynasty and the people of the world!"

Seeing his resolute attitude, Huang Feihu had no choice but to come up with another idea after thinking for a moment:

"Your Majesty, how about this? I'll use the Five-Colored Divine Ox to carry you directly there? That would be faster and safer."

As a result, Di Xin shook his head and refused again:

"No. Only by taking it one step at a time can I demonstrate my determination and sincerity."

Huang Feihu had no choice but to obey:

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Di Xin forced himself to walk a few steps before his body could no longer hold on.

Although he was blessed with the fortune of humanity.

But this good fortune can only help him resist evil spirits; it cannot make him become a tireless god.

Coupled with the recent assassination attempt, he was exhausted and his physical strength was clearly depleted.

He found a roadside rock to sit on and rest his feet for a while.

As soon as I sat down, I felt my mouth and throat were dry.

"Flying Tiger, fetch me some water," Di Xin ordered.

Upon hearing this, Huang Feihu was immediately perplexed.

Where can we find clean water in this desolate wilderness?

He was so anxious that he didn't know what to do, and looked around.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up!

Not far away, at the foot of the hillside, there was a small thatched hut!

……

In the small courtyard of the thatched house.

Li Xuanzheng looked worried and kept muttering to himself:

"It's all over, it's really the end..."

He lived in a daze for eighteen years, relying on his ailing mother for support.

It wasn't until his mother passed away that he suddenly awakened his memories of his past life and realized that he was a time traveler.

He also has a system.

The system teaches him everyday life skills such as farming, cooking, and blacksmithing.

At first, Li Xuan was quite satisfied.

Thinking back to ancient times, having these skills meant at least you wouldn't starve and could live a stable life.

But just two days ago, he personally witnessed Grand Tutor Wen leading a large army, riding a flying rainbow, swiftly flying towards the North Sea to fight.

This scene completely stunned him and made him understand everything.

What kind of ordinary Shang Dynasty did I transmigrate to?

This is clearly the ancient Shang Dynasty from "Investiture of the Gods," where gods fought and demons roamed freely!

Thinking of this, Li Xuan couldn't help but rant and rave about it to himself:

"This is outrageous! In this prehistoric world, any powerful figure could crush me to dust with a single slap, leaving not a trace!"

He became increasingly angry as he spoke:

"What's the use of learning life skills! No matter how well you grow vegetables, can you withstand the Heaven-Turning Seal? No matter how skilled you are at blacksmithing, can you withstand the Immortal-Slaying Sword?"

He cursed and swore as he quickly packed up all the valuables in his house.

"Run! We have to run! We can't stay in this awful place for even a day longer!"

After packing his belongings, Li Xuan turned to face his mother's memorial tablet on the altar and respectfully kowtowed three times.

"Mother, your unfilial son will not live to see Father return. If you are watching over me from heaven, please protect me so I can escape!"

Thinking of what his mother said before she died, that her father, who was supposedly a high-ranking official in another city, would be coming back to find him in a month.

Li Xuan was speechless again.

"Father, you've come to this post at just the right time. My life is more important; I can't wait for you any longer. Take care and pray for your well-being!"

He stood up, dusted off his knees, and grabbed his bundle.

He was still muttering to himself:

"The Shang Dynasty is finished! Let whoever wants to stay, stay! I'm not playing along!"

As he spoke, he reached out to pull the courtyard gate, preparing to run away.

With a creak, the door was pulled open.

Li Xuan was about to step out.

Two people were standing outside the door, ready to knock and ask for water.

It was Huang Feihu and King Zhou of Shang, Di Xin.

Six eyes stared at each other, completely stunned!

The first thing Li Xuan saw was the man at the front, who, though disheveled, possessed an extraordinary air (Di Xin).

His heart skipped a beat:

"Holy crap! Could I be that unlucky? I was just about to leave when I bumped into that 'high-ranking official' of his father coming back?"

Huang Feihu and Di Xin were also startled the moment the door was opened!

Because they actually felt an extremely terrifying pressure emanating from this seemingly ordinary young man!

The pressure was so strong that it even surpassed that of the Great Luo Golden Immortals they had ever seen!

Although this feeling was only fleeting.

But the feeling of palpitation was so real that it made the two of them freeze in place, completely forgetting what they were going to say.

Di Xin and Huang Feihu were so shocked by the sudden and terrifying pressure that their hearts pounded and their bodies stiffened.

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise and disbelief in each other's eyes.

That oppressive force just now was terrifying; it was even more frightening than that of a Great Immortal.

Although it was only fleeting, the feeling was absolutely unmistakable.

Li Xuan was the first to come to his senses.

Looking at the imposing yet somewhat disheveled Di Xin before him, he couldn't help but complain.

"Father, why are you only coming back now?" Li Xuan's tone was a little reproachful.

This cry of "Father" stunned Di Xin and Huang Feihu once again.

The two looked at each other, unsure of what to say next.

Li Xuan didn't care whether they were stunned or not, he stepped forward and grabbed Di Xin's arm.

"You're back just in time!" he quickly added. "You can leave the Great Shang Dynasty with me and head to Xiqi."

Li Xuan's tone was urgent.

"We'd rather not be officials in this great Shang Dynasty!"

Huang Feihu finally snapped out of his shock and instinctively wanted to reprimand the young man for his insolence.

"Insolence!" he blurted out.

However, he was stopped by a look from Di Xin as soon as he spoke.

Di Xin's mind worked quickly, and he understood instantly.

The young man in front of him had mistaken him for his father, who was supposedly a high-ranking official.

This was an unexpected surprise.

Di Xin did not immediately point out the misunderstanding.

Li Xuan's earlier statement about leaving the Shang Dynasty and joining the Western Zhou Dynasty piqued his curiosity greatly.

More importantly, Li Xuan brought up the sensitive topic of abolishing human sacrifice.

Emperor Xin had just been assassinated because of this decision.

He cared a lot about this matter, and even held a grudge against it.

Now, he felt this was a golden opportunity to hear what this seemingly ordinary "commoner" really thought.

Di Xin followed up, asking Li Xuan in as calm a tone as possible.

"Why did you leave the Great Shang?" He stared into Li Xuan's eyes.

Di Xin's tone was inquisitive.

"Do you also think that the actions of this...this dynasty's emperor in abolishing human sacrifice are unacceptable?"

He almost let something slip, but quickly corrected himself, though the core issue remained the same.
