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

Of course, Di Xin had no idea that his trip to Huoyun Cave had completely baffled the Holy Emperor Fuxi, even causing him to question the meaning of life.

He was overjoyed to have received the Emperor's approval.

Back in Chaoge, without a word, we immediately got to work!

Promote the Three Saints Temple? Build it!

Waterwheels, open channels? Build them!

The bigger the commotion, the better.

He even had someone embellish the story of the Three Holy Emperors summoning him and spread it around.

Hey, the effect is immediate!

The public opinion that Nuwa had painstakingly spread, claiming that Di Xin disrespected the Holy Mother, was instantly diluted by this new trend of "the Three Holy Emperors recognizing Di Xin," and didn't cause much of a stir.

Moreover, as the waterwheels and open canals, these two precious treasures, spread like ripples around Chaoge to even more distant places, tangible benefits began to emerge.

With easier irrigation and farming, farmers are reaping better harvests and their lives are visibly improving.

Everyone cherished the memory of Emperor Xin's good deeds and the kindness of the Three Holy Emperors.

As the person continued chanting, an invisible and intangible yet very real force—humanity's fortune—began to rise rapidly!

This power, like a warm current, returned to Di Xin.

The benefits of those few sips of tea I had in Li Xuan's shabby little courtyard were now slowly becoming apparent.

For example, that night.

A grand banquet was held in the palace to celebrate the end of the imperial concubine selection, and the newly selected girls all entered the palace.

The sounds of string and wind instruments filled the air as a group of exquisitely dressed young women danced gracefully on the dance floor, their figures incredibly beautiful.

Di Xin sat in the main seat, his gaze sweeping over the beautiful faces of the women.

Suddenly, his gaze sharpened and fixed on two of the young women.

Although he was only a human emperor and should not be able to cultivate, at this moment, it was as if a lamp had been lit in his mind, and a kind of "spiritual perception" similar to that of a cultivator was exceptionally clear—he could distinguish the aura of demons and evil!

Those are the two!

One carried a chilling, stringed sound, like a pipa made of stone; the other had a faint, fishy odor, like a pheasant that had come to life!

Isn't this just the essence of the pipa spirit and the pheasant spirit?

Empress Jiang, sitting beside him, saw Di Xin staring at the two young ladies for a while and assumed that he had taken a liking to them.

She leaned closer and suggested in a soft voice, "If Your Majesty wishes, these two women may serve you tonight."

Di Xin suddenly came to his senses, and his heart skipped a beat.

Having a fairy serve you in bed? Are you kidding me!

He immediately shook his head, his tone resolute: "No need."

But he didn't react on the spot, nor did he reveal their identities.

Now is not the time to completely break ties; we haven't settled our scores with the gods and Buddhas in heaven yet.

He must be patient; otherwise, a small act of impatience could ruin a great plan.

Keep them at a distance and leave them out for now.

As soon as this thought arose, the pent-up frustration in Di Xin's heart returned.

He subconsciously thought of Li Xuan's dilapidated little courtyard again.

It's more comfortable to stay there for a while.

……

Di Xin was thinking about Li Xuan's little courtyard.

Grand Physician Jiao Ge rushed in from outside the hall, his face showing obvious anxiety.

Jiao Ge was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, managing money, grain, and water conservancy.

Emperor Xin also entrusted him with the important task of promoting waterwheels and open canals.

Seeing his appearance, Di Xin's heart skipped a beat, and his brows furrowed.

He had a bad feeling.

"My dear minister, what brings you in such a hurry?" Di Xin asked in a deep voice. "Has something gone wrong with the implementation of the waterwheel canal?"

Jiao Ge, panting heavily, nodded helplessly: "Your Majesty is wise, indeed!"

Upon hearing this, Shang Rong and the other ministers all showed expressions of displeasure and confusion.

"This waterwheel and canal benefits the nation and its people; it's a truly great thing!" Shang Rong couldn't help but exclaim. "Which blind fool dares to obstruct it?"

Jiao Ge's face showed a hint of embarrassment and anger. He took a deep breath and replied:

"Your Excellency, the obstruction of the implementation is not due to the people's lack of appreciation, nor is it due to the laxity of local officials."

"Oh?" Shang Rong pressed, "Why is that?"

Jiao Ge's voice was filled with suppressed anger: "It's the River God! Feng Yi, the River God of the Mengjin section of the Yellow River!"

"Feng Yi?" Di Xin's eyes narrowed.

"Indeed!" Jiao Ge affirmed. "This fiend is one of the Four Great River Gods appointed by the Heavenly Court, in charge of the Mengjin section of the Yellow River. He... he actually stirred up the Yellow River's waters, flooding a village downstream, killing over three hundred people—men, women, and children!"

The hall fell into a deathly silence; everyone was...

The devastating news shocked everyone.

Jiao Ge continued, his voice trembling with anger:

"Feng Yi spread the word that our digging of open channels to divert water directly violated his core divine authority!"

He was always arrogant and domineering, and he always relied on the flooding of the Yellow River to display his divine power and make the people revere and worship him.

Now that Your Majesty is promoting open canal management to control floods and freeing the people from the fear of Yellow River floods, it is tantamount to directly denying His divine power and cutting off His source of worship!

Di Xin pressed on, "So, he used this monstrous flood, and the lives of over three hundred innocent people, to threaten us!?"

"Yes," Jiao Ge gritted his teeth, "He threatened that if we didn't stop the open channel project, it wouldn't just be this one village! He would flood all the villages downstream of Mengjin!"

"This is outrageous!!!"

Upon hearing this, Di Xin's anger erupted like a volcano!

He slammed his hand on the imperial desk and stood up abruptly!

A chilling killing intent instantly surged from his body, and the temperature in the entire hall seemed to drop several degrees.

His eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at the outside of the palace, as if he wanted to pierce through the void and tear the River God Feng Yi, who had harmed the people, to pieces!

"Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down!"

Empress Jiang, who was standing nearby, was startled by the sudden murderous aura and quickly stepped forward to try to appease Emperor Xin's anger.

But at this moment, Di Xin was not listening to any of this. All he cared about were the three hundred innocent lives and the arrogant threat from He Bo Feng Yi.

Seeing that Emperor Xin was furious and might do something unpredictable at any moment, Wu Cheng Wang Huang Feihu, who had been standing by his side, stepped forward.

He leaned close to Di Xin, lowered his voice, and spoke a sentence very quickly.

The sound was very soft; only Di Xin could hear it.

Empress Jiang only saw Huang Feihu's lips move, and then, miraculously, the furious Emperor Xin suddenly stopped, and his overwhelming killing intent was forcibly suppressed by an invisible hand and quickly subsided.

Di Xin's face remained angry, but his eyes had calmed down considerably.

He took a deep breath and slowly sat back down on the throne.

Empress Jiang was filled with doubt and confusion. On the one hand, she couldn't understand what Huang Feihu had said that could so quickly calm the Emperor down from his rage.

On the other hand, she was even more curious about what these two were plotting lately, acting so mysteriously.

"Hmm." Di Xin responded with a muffled sound from his nose, which was considered as acknowledgment of Huang Feihu's words.

His gaze swept over the assembled officials in the hall, forcibly suppressing his surging anger, and he said in a deep voice:

"I am aware of this matter. We will discuss it later. My ministers, you may all leave now."

"Your Majesty..." Jiao Ge and Shang Rong wanted to say something more.

"Step back!" Di Xin's voice carried an unquestionable authority.

The ministers looked at each other, full of questions, but seeing Di Xin's resolute attitude, they could only bow and say, "We take our leave." Then they left the hall one by one.

Empress Jiang looked at Emperor Xin with concern, hesitant to speak. Emperor Xin waved his hand slightly, indicating that she need not worry. Seeing this, Empress Jiang could only leave with a heart full of doubts, supported by her maids.

In the vast palace, only Di Xin and Huang Feihu remained for a moment.

"Walk!"

Without uttering a single word, Di Xin immediately stood up and strode towards the outside of the palace.

Huang Feihu understood immediately and followed closely behind.

The two had a clear destination: the small courtyard outside the palace where Li Xuan was.

Feng Yi was so arrogant because he was one of the Four Great Gods appointed by the Heavenly Court.

This level of deity.

Di Xin was actually somewhat hesitant about whether or not to take it down.

That's why he went with Huang Feihu to find Li Xuan.

I want Li Xuan to help me make a decision.
