Primordial Era: Elixir of Qi Transforms into Form, Controlling the Pharmacology of the World

Houtu held Lingdan in her arms, seemingly lost in a state of enlightenment.

A unique Daoist aura emanated from Ling Dan himself.

That Daoist aura came from Ling Dan's physical body and also from Ling Dan's origin. Under the many changes, one could feel the mystery within, which faintly carried the power of creation.

That kind of creation emerged, mysterious, profound, and difficult to comprehend. It seemed to be formed by the fusion of many special Daoist principles, accompanied by the transformation of Ling Dan's aura.

After that creation manifested, it absorbed the aura of Houtu and gradually merged with it. Ling Dan could clearly feel the profoundness and vastness emanating from Houtu itself.

"Hiss... Is this the Ancestral Witch Houtu? Feeling that aura, that Daoist charm, it's as if I'm seeing endless earth, endless life..." Ling Dan exclaimed inwardly.

At this moment, Ling Dan's mind, following its own destiny, seemed to merge into the aura of Hou Tu, and then felt the Great Dao carried by Hou Tu.

Not only that, Houtu also made no preparations against Ling Dan.

Therefore, with Ling Dan's mind calmed down, it seemed as if everything was being shown to Ling Dan. Under Ling Dan's comprehension, it was as if she were witnessing the Great Dao.

My mind seemed to have arrived at a vast continent, where many landscapes and many lives seemed to have evolved into a special primordial world.

Ling Dan just watched and pondered.

As Ling Dan observed and immersed herself in the silence, she felt her own aura merging with Hou Tu's, as if a kind of creation was being generated between them.

Ling Dan knew very well that this was perhaps the destiny she possessed within the human race, allowing her to merge with the witch race and reproduce.

Good heavens, Ling Dan never expected it to be so mysterious and amazing.

Ling Dan couldn't fathom that kind of destiny, but she could sense that it was the core reason why the Witch Clan could thrive.

Now, Nuwa, who also comprehends the workings of creation, seems to have gained some understanding as she looks at Ling Dan and Hou Tu.

Nuwa sensed the change in their auras and exclaimed in admiration, "Ling Dan, this child, possesses a truly profound and mysterious power. His aura merges with mine, connecting us and transforming into a unique power. That power guides the transformation of my own power. His aura merges with Houtu's, intertwining and creating a power capable of procreation. If one can thoroughly comprehend this power, perhaps one can evolve the method of propagation for the Wu tribe. How wondrous, how wondrous..."

Nuwa was filled with emotion, and her aura merged with Lingdan's, allowing her to comprehend that special creation.

……

In the blink of an eye, many years have passed.

During this period, Ling Dan remained immersed in the Great Dao, ignoring all external affairs.

After long periods of contemplation, Ling Dan felt the vastness of Houtu, her power, and the profoundness of this primordial land.

Under such comprehension, a shout forced Ling Dan and Hou Tu, who were in the midst of their meditation, to wake up.

Houtu awoke from the Daoist aura, sensing the interwoven energy outside, and asked with a hint of doubt, "Houyi...why did you awaken me?"

The indifferent voice drifted outside the palace, as if it had caused some kind of disturbance.

Outside the palace, Hou Yi's voice drifted out: "Ancestral Witch... I had no choice but to disturb your seclusion this time. The key issue is that nearly half the women in the tribe are pregnant. The sudden increase in pregnancies among so many people is unbelievable and strange, which is why I had to disturb you..."

Hou Yi's words reached the palace, which made Hou Tu and Nuwa, who had regained their senses, feel strange.

Ling Dan's expression changed, feeling that this matter was somewhat inexplicable.

Houtu's eyes also held a hint of doubt: "Strange, even when I was trying to comprehend the workings of creation while holding Lingdan, I couldn't create a method for reproduction. How did this lead to our clansmen conceiving so prolifically?"

Nuwa's eyes flickered: "Could it be Ling Dan?"

Ling Dan was also stunned: "Sister Nuwa... please don't talk nonsense. I haven't done anything all these years!"

"Little one... I know you didn't do anything. However, this matter is indeed a bit strange. Come on, let's go take a look..." Houtu said, carrying Lingdan out of the main hall.

Nuwa also followed them out, curious about the matter.

After all, Nuwa knew all too well the difficulty of the Wu tribe's reproduction. So, their sudden increase in numbers was truly strange.

Outside the main hall, Hou Yi stood with excitement and respect.

There's no way around it; the propagation of the clan is absolutely every witch's wish, and now that it has been realized, it would be strange not to be excited.

"Houtu, the Ancestral Witch..." Hou Yi said respectfully.

"No need for formalities, take me to see the pregnant members of our tribe," Houtu said casually.

Hou Yi nodded and led Hou Tu to the tribe, saying, "Ancestral Witch Hou Tu... everything was normal in the tribe after you went into seclusion. But as your seclusion lasted longer, changes gradually occurred. The women in the tribe have a slightly higher chance of getting pregnant than before. Normally, this slight increase wouldn't be anything special. But the strangest thing about our tribe is that most of the women are pregnant. This change is beyond imagination..."

Hou Yi recounted to Hou Tu the changes that had occurred within the Wu tribe over the years. But the more he spoke, the more he learned of the Wu tribe's current state of change and its madness.

For so many years, countless members of the Wu tribe have been ecstatic. Reproduction was already difficult enough, so they searched for countless methods to solve the problem. Who knew that their tribe's population would increase once again?

Soon, Hou Yi, along with Hou Tu, Nuwa, and Ling Dan, visited many pregnant witch women.

Nuwa, drawing inspiration from the Great Dao of Creation, spoke of the woman she was conceiving: "She was conceived naturally, without any external interference. Moreover, the children within her are all very healthy. This…"

Houtu, now feeling a touch of surprise, sensed this change: "While this is something to be happy about, it's also quite strange. After all, why is the chance of my tribe's women getting pregnant so high? Other tribes have only seen a slight increase."

Both were puzzled, including Ling Dan, who found it very strange.

As Ling Dan pondered this, both Nuwa and Houtu turned their gazes toward her.

Under their gazes, Ling Dan felt a little confused: "Sister Nuwa, Sister Houtu... why are you looking at me like that? For so many years, I've stayed in Sister Houtu's arms, without running around or going out. So the changes in the Wu Clan should be..."

"It must be related to you," Nuwa said earnestly.

Houtu nodded silently, "Speaking of which, the changes in the Wu Clan have gradually occurred with the arrival of Ling Dan. Especially this time, Ling Dan's cultivation has improved, and he has stayed in my tribe for so long, so..."

Ling Dan shook her head: "How is that possible? Does it mean that the Witch Clan's reproduction rate will accelerate after I come here? That's too far-fetched."

Ling Dan shook her head, indicating that this was simply impossible.

Could it be that I'm going to become a mascot for procreation?

If it's true, Ling Dan will be absolutely devastated.

Nuwa then said, "Little Lingdan... that's hard to say. After all, I stayed in the Witch Clan for many years and didn't bring any changes to the clan. But since you came to the Witch Clan, you've brought many changes."

"Speaking of which, when the Wu Clan multiplied, my tribe multiplied the most. And that multiplication period seems to have coincided with when Fellow Daoist Tongtian brought you here. At the same time, it was also during that time that I held you, comprehended the mysteries of creation within you, and grasped a method of reproduction that accelerated the Wu Clan's reproduction. Now that I've brought you back to the Wu Clan, the Wu Clan has multiplied once again, so the Wu Clan's reproduction is truly related to you." Houtu said silently, as if it were solid evidence.

Ling Dan's expression was conflicted, filled with disbelief, as she shook her head: "This is too absurd. My arrival in the Witch Clan has accelerated their population growth... this, this..."

Ling Dan was puzzled, but Nuwa and Houtu seemed convinced that the matter was related to Ling Dan. So they didn't linger and instead returned to the main hall.

They exchanged ideas and sought to uncover the secrets within.

Years later, Ling Dan was still puzzled, but Nuwa and Houtu, who were communicating, eventually turned their gazes to Ling Dan.

"That should be correct. The changes and evolution within the Witch Clan all originated from Ling Dan." Nuwa looked at Ling Dan earnestly.

Ling Dan immediately shook his head: "Sister Nuwa...you're joking. I'm just a young man, how could I possibly affect the reproduction of such a vast witch clan?"

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be due to the pull of fate and the connection of bloodlines," Houtu remarked with emotion.

Nuwa nodded in agreement: "Indeed... Over the years, you have been holding Lingdan, and the life force emanating from your origin has merged with Lingdan's original aura, giving rise to a special kind of creation. This kind of creation, along with the fortune of the Wu Clan and the bloodline of the Wu Clan, has gradually influenced the entire Wu Clan."

Ling Dan's eyes widened: "Really?"

Houtu gazed at Lingdan, a hint of solemnity appearing in her eyes: "Little Lingdan... In the entire primordial world, only your origin, the life force emanating from you, can resonate so perfectly with our Wu clan. Especially the Qi of Creation that arises from your fusion with me, flowing through the entire clan along with the Wu clan's fortune, increasing the clan's chances of reproduction. Furthermore, the Great Dao of reproduction and bloodline of my tribe's people are exactly the same as mine. Under the pull of this bloodline, it is not unreasonable that the tribe's reproduction has doubled."

Ling Dan was also dumbfounded, finding it unbelievable.

Nuwa, with a touch of melancholy, gazed at Ling Dan: "Speaking of which, the creation inherent in Ling Dan is too profound. It can enable the Wu Clan to multiply and also cause my Great Dao to undergo a sharp transformation. Once I fully comprehend the creation contained within Ling Dan, I will rely on this creation, along with Ling Dan itself, to create a race. That race should also possess the characteristic that enables the Wu Clan to multiply."

Houtu smiled and said, "Little Lingdan... Looking at all the beings in the primordial world, it seems that you are the only one who is truly special. You are able to bring about reproduction and change to my Wu clan."

What can Ling Dan say now?

Didn't you see? Nuwa was preparing to comprehend Lingdan's creation and create a race.

If Ling Danmei's guess is wrong, the destiny he carries includes humanity, or rather, the destiny of the human race. After comprehending this destiny, the race created will naturally be the human race.

Good heavens, Ling Dan never expected that the origin of the human race came from herself.

This is too bizarre.
