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

"Brother?" Nuwa's voice resounded directly in Fuxi's mind.

Fuxi was deducing the changes in the heavenly order in the cave when he heard the sound and opened his eyes.

"Little sister?" Fuxi replied calmly, "What brings you here?"

Nuwa cut to the chase, asking directly, "Brother, Di Xin suddenly wants to come to Huoyun Cave to pay homage. Is this related to you? Or have you been secretly helping him?"

Upon hearing this, Fuxi immediately shook his head in denial.

"Absolutely not. I only just learned of Di Xin's actions. I have had no contact with him whatsoever, nor have I offered any assistance."

Hearing Fuxi's denial, Nuwa finally felt relieved.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good then." Nuwa's tone softened.

However, she keenly noticed that when Fuxi responded, there seemed to be a subtle...hesitation in his tone?

Nuwa, with her keen intellect, understood instantly.

Looking at Fuxi's slightly complicated expression, she asked softly:

"Brother, are you... worried about the matter of becoming emperor? Are you reluctant to see the throne of emperors lost?"

Fuxi remained silent for a moment.

He was indeed conflicted.

After all, he was reincarnated as a human, leading the human race through hardships to create civilization, and his feelings for the human race are deeply ingrained.

"Alas..." Fuxi sighed softly, not answering directly, but the sigh said it all: "The path to self-strengthening for humanity is so arduous..."

Nuwa understood her brother's feelings, but the grand plan of bestowing gods concerned the operation of the heavenly order and could not be abandoned because of personal feelings.

She had to remind Fuxi.

"Brother," Nuwa's voice became solemn.

"I know you care deeply for humanity. However, the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods is a predetermined fate. This is the general trend of Heaven, which neither you nor I can easily change."

She paused, then emphasized, "Going with the flow is the right path and the way to preserve the foundation of humanity. Forcibly going against the flow may bring about even greater calamities, which would be detrimental to humanity."

Fuxi listened to Nuwa's words and fell into a deeper silence.

He understood that what Nuwa said was true.

Even the most powerful sage must follow the way of Heaven.

Going against the will of Heaven comes at a price too high for humanity to bear.

After a long while, Fuxi slowly nodded.

The conflicted look on his face gradually faded, and he regained his composure.

"I understand what my little sister has said." Fuxi's tone became firm. "The Investiture of the Gods is the will of Heaven. I will not interfere with Di Xin's journey."

He then added, "When Di Xin arrives at Huoyun Cave, I will persuade my two virtuous brothers, Shennong and Xuanyuan, that none of the three of us will appear before him."

This clearly indicates that no substantial help or response will be given to Di Xin.

Nuwa received the promise she wanted and felt completely at peace.

"Thank you for your understanding, brother." Nuwa's voice was filled with relief.

The telepathic communication has ended.

Inside the Fire Cloud Cave, Fuxi sat alone in quiet contemplation, his gaze deep as he looked out at the surging sea of ​​clouds, remaining silent for a long time.

……

three days later.

Emperor Xin and his entourage, riding on divine beasts such as the Five-Colored Divine Ox, arrived in a grand procession outside the Fire Cloud Cave.

The procession formed its ranks, and Emperor Xin prepared to formally pay homage to the three human holy emperors within the Fire Cloud Cave.

But the cave entrance was tightly shut, and there was no sound at all.

After waiting for a while, a little boy slowly walked out of the cave.

The boy bowed to Emperor Xin and said in a clear voice, "Your Majesty, my master said that the birthday of the Holy Mother is approaching, and you should first go to the Nuwa Temple to pay homage, that would be in accordance with the proper etiquette."

After saying this, the boy didn't wait for Di Xin's reply and turned to go back into the cave.

With a "bang," the cave door slammed shut.

The meaning couldn't be clearer: We won't see each other.

Standing next to Di Xin, Prime Minister Shang Rong's face was all scrunched up, he was extremely worried.

His heart pounded with anxiety: Oh no, I guess I've finally met my match!

Shang Rong quickly moved closer to Di Xin, lowered her voice, and spoke with a hint of urgency:

"Your Majesty, you see... the Holy Emperor's meaning is very clear. Shall we... shall we follow the Holy Emperor's instructions and go to the Nuwa Temple? This stalemate can't go on."

As he spoke, he turned around and gestured for the group to turn around.

"What's the panic?"

Di Xin's voice remained calm, completely unaffected.

He sat steadily on the back of the mythical beast without moving an inch.

Shang Rong was taken aback and turned to look at Di Xin: "Your Majesty?"

Huang Feihu stood on the other side of Di Xin, equally steady as a mountain, with a knowing look in his eyes.

Di Xin looked at the tightly closed cave door, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said slowly, "Everything was expected."

He paused, then raised his voice slightly, as if deliberately speaking so that those inside the cave could hear:

"I have come here with sincere intentions to pay homage to Your Majesty, and I have even prepared gifts to present. How could Your Majesty know you do not wish to see me before these gifts have not even been presented?"

Upon hearing this, Shang Rong nearly fainted.

My Majesty! Do you truly not understand, or are you feigning ignorance?

They've already closed their doors to visitors; isn't that attitude obvious enough?

Isn't your skin a little too thick?

Shang Rong, with a pained expression, tried to persuade him again: "Your Majesty! Please reconsider! What kind of people are the Three Holy Emperors? They are supreme beings at the Hunyuan Daluo level! Even if you were to offer a treasure, what treasure could you possibly bring to the Holy Emperors' attention?"

The more he talked, the more uncertain the situation seemed, and his voice even carried a hint of despair:

"Besides, Emperor Fuxi is the reincarnation of Nuwa's own brother! He has a Heavenly Saint standing behind him! Aren't you just making a fool of yourself? Let's hurry to the Nuwa Temple!"

Di Xin completely ignored Shang Rong's rambling.

He waved his hand directly at Huang Feihu, his tone leaving no room for argument: "Feihu, go and bring the things out."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Huang Feihu clasped his hands in acceptance of the order, turned around and strode towards the back of the group to personally retrieve the "treasure" that Di Xin regarded as the key to breaking the deadlock.

The commotion outside Huoyun Cave could be heard clearly inside.

Deep within the cave, the three Holy Emperors sat side by side.

Fuxi's face remained expressionless as he calmly said:

"See? This Emperor is becoming increasingly arrogant and self-willed. I've already had the boy show him the way, but he's turned a deaf ear, insisting on lingering outside the cave, and even offering some treasure? Ha, mere mortal things, yet he dares to..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear: with such arrogance and ignorance, it's no wonder the Shang Dynasty perished!

The Earthly Emperor Shennong and the Human Emperor Xuanyuan exchanged a glance and both frowned slightly.

Di Xin's behavior was indeed somewhat tactless, and could even be described as offensive.

However, just as Fuxi uttered his somewhat disdainful comment—

boom!

An indescribable, overwhelming, and profound power suddenly erupted from outside the Fire Cloud Cave without warning!

This power is so vast and pure, carrying an immense aura that nourishes all things and benefits all living beings!

hum!

The entire Fire Cloud Cave trembled!

Inside the cave, the once calmly flowing river of human destiny suddenly boiled over as if a huge rock had been thrown in, surging and roaring with joy!

The energy was so rich and active that it visibly surged upwards by a large margin!

"What?!"

"This...this is?!"

The three Holy Emperors' expressions changed drastically at the same time, and they exclaimed in shock!

Fuxi's slight disdain instantly froze on his face, replaced by extreme shock and disbelief!

Shennong and Xuanyuan jumped up from their prayer mats, their eyes fixed on the entrance to the cave, their faces filled with horror!

"Merit! It's the descent of innate merit!" Xuanyuan's voice trembled slightly, filled with disbelief.

"Moreover... it's an unparalleled merit that can directly influence and strengthen the fortune of the human race!"

Shennong's voice grew excited, his eyes burning with fervor, "The source is right outside the cave!"

This sudden and dramatic change made it impossible for the three holy emperors to remain calm.

Fuxi's previous thought of "never interfering" was instantly shattered in the face of this immense merit that directly affected the foundation of the human race.

"Let's go! Let's go out and take a look!"

Shennong and Xuanyuan couldn't sit still any longer and took the first step.

Fuxi was also extremely curious.

He hesitated for a moment, but eventually got up and followed.
