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

As Su Daji pondered this, she looked across at Li Xuan and noticed that his gaze seemed to have changed again.

the other side.

After hearing Li Xuan's words, Di Xin and Huang Feihu could no longer sit still.

They wished they could sprout wings and fly to the entrance of the Fire Cloud Cave immediately.

Ever since he learned that the Shang dynasty had been tricked by a sage, Emperor Xin had not slept soundly for a single night.

Now that we've finally found a way to break the deadlock, it's like a drowning person grabbing a lifeline; they have to hold on to it tightly.

Di Xin immediately stood up and said to Li Xuan.

"Xuan'er, these two things are too important. Father must find a way to present them to you as soon as possible."

"We need to get it done before the drought starts, so that the people suffer less."

Li Xuan nodded without saying anything more.

"Okay, Dad, Brother Huang, be careful on the road."

He gave them a word of advice and then watched them leave.

No sooner had Di Xin and Huang Feihu stepped out of Li Xuan's dilapidated courtyard than Di Xin couldn't help but turn to Huang Feihu and ask him a question.

"Feihu, how much truth do you think there is in what Xuan'er just said?"

Huang Feihu couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Good heavens, so this is how they call him "Xuan'er"?

Do you really treat him like your own son?

However, he only thought these words to himself and dared not say them out loud.

"If Your Majesty thinks it's feasible, there's no harm in giving it a try," Huang Feihu said cautiously. "However, Your Majesty, this step is too risky. What if we make a mistake..."

Upon hearing this, Di Xin smiled with relief.

"What's there to be afraid of? Even if we're wrong, can it be worse than the future we know it will be?"

Huang Feihu was stunned for a moment.

Upon careful consideration, he realized that this was indeed the case.

"Your Majesty is right..." He was about to nod in agreement when he suddenly realized something and turned around abruptly.

Suddenly, Su Daji quietly followed them out.

She stood not far away, watching Di Xin and Huang Feihu, her expression extremely complex.

"His Majesty……"

Su Daji stepped forward and bowed gracefully to Emperor Xin, her voice trembling with tears.

"Your Majesty, please forgive this humble woman for fleeing without permission."

"The fault lies entirely with Daji. I beg Your Majesty not to punish my father, Marquis Su Hu of Jizhou, for this."

She knelt down, her eyes brimming with tears; her appearance was truly pitiful.

Di Xin was also momentarily dazed upon seeing this.

He thought to himself, "This girl is indeed a stunning beauty who could bring ruin to the country."

No wonder the sages in heaven chose her and allowed a demon to possess her in order to weaken the emperor's will.

However, Di Xin now only admires her beauty and has no other thoughts.

He composed himself and stepped forward to help Su Daji up.

Then, he glanced at Li Xuan's quiet thatched hut behind him.

"Alright, there's no need for that."

"Regarding your matter, I... um, I understand."

Di Xin almost let something slip, and quickly corrected himself.

"Don't worry about your father, I won't blame him."

"You can stay here without worry."

He solemnly instructed them.

"Take good care of... Xuan'er."

"Also, remember, don't let him know my identity, and don't reveal Flying Tiger's identity either."

Di Xin knew exactly what was going on.

My adopted son is full of ideas, very capable, and good at everything, except he's timid and hates trouble.

If he knew that he was actually the Human Emperor and treated him as his "son," he might immediately quit.

That won't work!

Su Daji nodded as if she understood but not quite.

Hearing "take good care of Xuan'er" and "stay here," especially the word "take care of," she always felt as if she were being betrothed to Li Xuan.

However, this time, she did not feel the same resistance she had when she was selected to enter the palace before.

Instead, a blush crept onto her cheeks.

Di Xin and Huang Feihu, oblivious to Su Daji's ulterior motives, turned and quickly left.

The two of them rushed back to Chaoge City without stopping.

Having just entered the imperial city, before they even had a chance to catch their breath,

Prime Minister Shang Yong greeted him with a look of anxiety.

"Your Majesty! You're finally back!"

Shang Rong hurriedly bowed, her face full of worry.

"Your Majesty, rumors are rampant in Chaoge City!"

"There are all sorts of opinions!"

"Everyone's saying that Your Majesty clearly arrived at the entrance of the Nuwa Temple, but refused to go in and pay your respects. This is... this is a great disrespect to the Goddess Nuwa! It's a deliberate insult to the Holy Mother!"

Upon hearing this, both Di Xin and Huang Feihu were stunned.

The two exchanged a glance.

They both understood each other's meaning from their eyes.

They've arrived!

Someone is trying to create hype and force me to go to the Nuwa Temple!

Are you forcing me to write obscene poems to satisfy me?

Di Xin sneered inwardly.

He turned to look at Huang Feihu, and both of them wore knowing yet slightly mocking smiles.

Before, he would have shaken it a little.

But now...

Hmph, he's full of confidence!

Thinking about it, I snapped back to reality.

Di Xin waved his hand, his tone relaxed, even somewhat comforting.

"Prime Minister, there is no need to worry."

"Get ready, set off immediately."

Shang Rong was overjoyed upon hearing this, thinking that Di Xin was finally going to the Nuwa Temple.

"Your Majesty is wise! This old minister will immediately prepare the ceremonial procession and proceed to Nuwa..."

"Wrong."

Di Xin interrupted him, a determined smile curving his lips.

"Not going to the Nuwa Temple."

"I'm going to the Fire Cloud Cave!"

When Shang Rong heard Di Xin say that he was going to the Fire Cloud Cave, she was completely stunned.

He thought he had misheard.

"Your Majesty?" Shang Rong thought he had misheard and asked in confusion, "You...you mean to go to the Fire Cloud Cave? To pay respects to the Three Holy Emperors?"

"Indeed," Di Xin replied decisively, without the slightest hesitation on his face. "My mind is made up."

Shang Rong panicked.

"Your Majesty! Please reconsider!" Shang Rong hurriedly advised.

"The Temple of Goddess Nuwa is right before us, and with the Holy Mother's birthday approaching, the people eagerly await His Majesty's personal attendance for the sacrifices. Turning to the Fire Cloud Cave now might displease the Holy Mother and only intensify the criticism from both the court and the public!"

He was deeply worried, feeling that Di Xin's decision was too sudden and too risky.

Emperor Xin remained unmoved.

"Prime Minister, there's no need for further words. I have my own considerations. The matter of the Nuwa Temple worship can be discussed later. Right now, quickly prepare the ceremonial regalia and offerings needed for the trip to Huoyun Cave, without any mistakes."

Looking into Di Xin's determined eyes, Shang Rong knew that further persuasion would be useless.

He sighed helplessly and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect.

"This old minister... obeys the decree."

Shang Rong had no choice but to agree and turned to arrange the itinerary.

Very quickly, in less than a day.

The news spread throughout the entire city of Chaoge.

It is said that Emperor Xin received a dream from an immortal, and was to take a precious treasure to Huoyun Cave to pay homage to the three holy emperors: Heavenly Emperor Fuxi, Earthly Emperor Shennong, and Human Emperor Xuanyuan!

The news spread like wildfire throughout the court and the country.

Naturally, the news also reached Nuwa's palace, located thirty-three heavens away, which was closely watching the movements of Chaoge.

The goddess Nuwa is meditating with her eyes closed.

Suddenly, she frowned slightly and opened her eyes, which held the essence of heaven and earth.

She quickly calculated and immediately understood everything that had happened in Chaoge City.

"Fire Cloud Cave?"

Nuwa murmured to herself, a hint of surprise and confusion on her face, "Why is Di Xin going to the Fire Cloud Cave instead of my temple?"

Her gaze pierced through the endless void and landed in the direction of the Fire Cloud Cave.

Nuwa couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.

"Could it be... that my elder brother Fuxi secretly intervened?"

Nuwa pondered to herself, "He was ultimately reincarnated as a human and had once been the emperor of the human race. Could it be that he felt some remorse and wanted to help Di Xin, thus preserving his throne?"

As soon as this thought arose, Nuwa felt a little uneasy.

She feared that Fuxi, out of consideration for their past relationship, might secretly interfere with the progress of the Investiture of the Gods.

This concerns the workings of the natural order, and cannot be allowed to go wrong.

Nuwa no longer hesitated.

She focused her mind, and an invisible divine thought transcended time and space, directly transmitting a message to Fuxi in the Fire Cloud Cave.
