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

Di Xin and Huang Feihu were still immersed in the awe brought by "human will can conquer nature" and the waterwheel when they heard Li Xuan's "cowardly but justified" words and almost choked.

Di Xin felt incredibly aggrieved, thinking to himself:

Judging from the way you casually cleaved the thousand-year-old nine-tailed fox with a single sword strike, unless you're a celestial being descended to earth, who could possibly harm a hair on your head?

Moreover, the spiritual energy in this courtyard is frighteningly strong, and the tea is comparable to an elixir of immortality. You call this a "shabby little courtyard"?

Su Daji, listening nearby, also had a slight twitch on her face, but she held back and didn't dare to make a sound.

In her opinion, this "immortal's" worries were a bit...overly cautious.

However, she didn't dare to say anything, and silently drank water.

At the same time, Di Xin took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to complain, and put on a kind smile again, beginning to patiently persuade him.

"Xuan'er, I understand your concerns. Caution is a good thing."

He first affirmed this statement, then changed the subject, "But you see, we're just providing the blueprints; you don't need to personally promote them, nor do you need to show your face in public."

He patted Li Xuan on the shoulder, his tone reassuring.

"Your father is a high-ranking official in Da Shang, and he has some connections. I'll handle this matter and make sure it's done discreetly. We'll say it's an ancient method that I obtained by chance, or the ingenuity of a folk genius, and that I'm offering it up simply to improve the lives of ordinary people and reduce their suffering from drought and floods."

Di Xin looked into Li Xuan's eyes and spoke sincerely.

"Let's do it secretly, without making a fuss. That way we can help the people and won't get you involved. What do you think?"

Huang Feihu also chimed in from the side:

"Yes, Young Master Xuan, the lord is right! We'll present it quietly, the credit will go to the lord, and the lord will bear the risks. You just stay here in this courtyard, nothing will happen to you! The main problem is that the common people are suffering too much..."

Li Xuan listened to their conversation, and his brows furrowed slightly.

He looked down at his hands, which were covered in mud, and then thought of the days he had struggled to survive alone in this prehistoric world after he transmigrated.

The emaciated farmers, the cracked earth, the desperate eyes pleading for rain... all these scenes flashed before my eyes.

If it weren't for this damn system, Li Xuan might have starved to death or been carried away by monsters long ago.

The lives of ordinary people are only a hundred times more difficult than his.

"Sigh..." Li Xuan sighed again, this time with a hint of helplessness and resignation.

"Alright, alright, since you've said so, Father, then let's offer it. But remember, whatever you say, you absolutely must keep a low profile! I don't want to have monsters blocking my door one day!"

He solemnly placed the two crumpled animal hide drawings into Di Xin's hands.

"Here, take the blueprint. This is the only copy I have."

"Yes, yes, yes! Father will be careful!"

Di Xin was overjoyed, clutching the two light yet incredibly heavy animal hides tightly, his fingers trembling with excitement.

This is not just blueprints; it is the spark that ignites humanity's liberation from the shackles of the gods and its path to self-reliance!

After the initial excitement, Di Xin recalled his even grander plan—the Three Holy Emperors of Huoyun Cave.

The excitement on his face faded slightly, replaced by a look of seriousness.

"Xuan'er," he began cautiously, his tone tentative, "we were just talking about the Three Holy Emperors of Fire Cloud Cave... let's assume, I mean, let's assume..."

Di Xin paused, organizing his thoughts.

"Suppose you are the Human Emperor, we present the blueprints for this waterwheel and open channel, and also try to get them to the Fire Cloud Cave. But what if the Three Holy Emperors... remain unmoved? What should we do then? After all, the relationship between that Holy Emperor Fuxi and the Goddess Nuwa... is extraordinary. He is the reincarnation of the Goddess Nuwa's own brother."

Huang Feihu quickly added, "Yes, yes, Young Master Xuan, we're just joking around, making a bold assumption! What if the Three Holy Emperors think this is too big and don't want to get involved?"

Su Daji, who was listening nearby, was so nervous that her heart was in her throat.

Emperor Xin actually said, "Suppose you were the human emperor?"

She quickly lowered her head, pretending not to hear anything, but her ears were perked up.

Upon hearing this, Li Xuan immediately wore an expression that said, "Why are you all so clueless?" and looked at Di Xin and Huang Feihu with disdain.

"Tsk! Silly old man, Brother Huang, you guys are too naive!"

He slammed his fist on the table in exasperation, "Don't you understand the principle of 'all's fair in war'? You honest, straightforward types will be played to death eight hundred times over by those treacherous sages!"

He leaned forward slightly, lowered his voice, and a cunning glint flashed in his eyes.

"If I were the Human Emperor, I wouldn't even mention deposing Nuwa! That's too exciting, I'd save that for last."

He held up one finger.

"The first step is to deceive them! Use the benefits of these waterwheels and open channels to trick the Three Holy Emperors into boarding the ship!"

"Trying to get...onboard?"

Di Xin and his companion were curious.

Li Xuan nodded, his tone carrying a sense of self-assurance.

"That's right. Think about it. The Three Holy Emperors are inextricably linked to the fate of humanity. They rise and fall together. If this thing is promoted, won't the fate of humanity increase? And if the fate of humanity increases, won't the Three Holy Emperors benefit the most?"

"They simply can't resist this easy prey delivered right to their mouths! That's what you call a 'open conspiracy'!"

Li Xuan then raised his second finger.

"Once they've tasted the benefits and realized this approach is right, great! We'll take it step by step, offering them more good things, like more efficient farm tools, better farming methods... In short, we'll make them increasingly reliant on the benefits we bring."

"Once they're completely on our side, deeply intertwined with our interests, and fully accustomed to this 'self-reliance' model..."

A meaningful smile appeared on Li Xuan's lips.

"At that point, let them 'accidentally' discover that our ultimate goal is to make the human race completely independent, free from dependence on the gods, and even... well, you know what I mean."

He spread his hands.

"Even if they find out the truth by then, what can they do? Can they jump ship and side with those six saints in heaven?"

Li Xuan chuckled.

"Give up the tangible benefits of humanity's rapidly increasing fortune that are already within our grasp, instead of helping those saints who only want to use humanity as pawns and sources of sustenance?"

"Even if they were truly willing, do you think the Six Sages of Heaven would still believe them? Would they still be willing to accept them?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Li Xuan concluded decisively.

"That's called 'your position determines your perspective'! They're already firmly on our human race's ship! Want to get off? No way!"

Di Xin, Huang Feihu, and Su Daji, who was pretending to bow her head, all gasped in shock after hearing Li Xuan's intricate and audacious plan!

The entire courtyard fell silent instantly, with only the rustling of the wind through the vegetable leaves remaining.

Their gazes toward Li Xuan were filled with utter shock!

They were amazed by the ingenuity and feasibility of the plan, but even more horrified by Li Xuan's audacity—he was practically using a sage as a pawn in his scheme!

But after the initial amazement...

Calm down and think it over carefully.

The more I think about it, the more I realize that this plan is... absolutely ingenious!

Every step was precisely aimed at the crucial point, taking advantage of the natural bond between the Three Holy Emperors and the human race's destiny, like boiling a frog in lukewarm water, making it impossible for people to refuse, and ultimately they could only be tied to the chariot.

This plan...is highly feasible!

Di Xin and Huang Feihu exchanged another glance, both seeing the same shock and... a trace of lingering fear in each other's eyes.

Di Xin couldn't help but mutter to himself, "This kid... his mind is deeper than the sea, and his audacity is greater than the sky! He's damn... far more cunning than those sages!"

Huang Feihu, still shaken, thought, "Luckily, this man is on our side... If he were the enemy, we wouldn't even know how we died..."

Su Daji, on the other hand, was completely overwhelmed by Li Xuan's eloquent and insightful remarks, as well as his unfathomable "shrewdness." Only one thought remained in her mind:

"Just who exactly is this Brother Li... no, Immortal Li?"
