Primordial Era: The Witch Clan's Dog-Headed Strategist

There was a moment of silence on the stone platform.

Nuwa paused slightly in the teacup she was holding, then resumed her normal posture without saying a word.

Fuxi smiled slightly, as if he had expected this straightforwardness: "Fellow Daoist Panxuan is indeed quick-witted and outspoken."

The divine system is now an indispensable foundation of order in the primordial world, and I, Fuxi, am deeply honored that you, fellow Daoist, have personally come to invite me.

Fuxi was indeed very interested in the divine system. The cultivation system created by the Three Pure Ones was self-contained and did not rely on external sources, which is admirable.

However, Nuwa was Hongjun's only female disciple, and her master treated her well, bestowing upon her the Primordial Purple Qi and the Qiankun Cauldron.

She couldn't ignore the bond between teacher and student.

Openly joining the Shinto system would likely disappoint my master.

Fuxi was willing to join the divine path, but Nuwa's sister was probably not comfortable joining.

I wonder if my friend can accept this?

Pan Xuan glanced at Fu Xi and nodded inwardly.

"What Fellow Daoist Fuxi said is absolutely right."

Pan Xuan spoke calmly, without the slightest hint of disappointment, "As a disciple personally taught by Hongjun, Fellow Daoist Nuwa has a master-disciple relationship with him, making it inconvenient for her to join the divine path. Pan Xuan fully understands this."

The Shinto system never forces anyone to do anything against their will; it is already an honor for Shinto to accept a fellow Daoist's willingness to join.

Nuwa raised her head and glanced at Pan Xuan, a hint of surprise flashing in her clear eyes.

She originally thought that Pan Xuan would take the opportunity to persuade her, or at least subtly mention Hongjun's faults, just like when the Three Pure Ones entered the divine path.

But Pan Xuan said nothing, simply accepting her rejection with composure. This respect made her feel more favorably toward this master of the divine path.

Pan Xuan did not dwell on this topic, but turned to Fuxi, his tone becoming serious:

"Since Fellow Daoist Fuxi is willing to join the Divine Path, then Pan Xuan, in his capacity as the Lord of the Divine Path, will confer upon you the title of Mountain God of Phoenix Perch Mountain."

Phoenix Perch Mountain is the Daoist's training ground, and also the place where the spiritual veins of the southeastern wilderness converge.

Fellow Daoist is the mountain god of Phoenix Perch Mountain, wielding the authority of the mountain god over Phoenix Perch Mountain and the surrounding million-mile mountain range, managing the earth's veins, harmonizing spiritual energy, and protecting the living beings of this region.

Fellow Daoists can utilize the authority of the Mountain God to integrate the principles of the Eight Trigrams into the divine network, providing divine guidance for the divine system.

A hint of surprise flashed in Fuxi's eyes.

He had thought that Pan Xuan would give him a higher divine position.

For example, clergy related to deduction.

After all, his innate Bagua is unique in the primordial world, and the way of divination of heavenly secrets is the foundation of his life.

But Pan Xuan only gave him the position of the mountain god of Phoenix Perch Mountain, which was much more low-key than he had expected.

However, Fuxi quickly realized Pan Xuan's intention after a moment's thought.

The position of God of Deduction is extremely important.

The divine system now covers most of the prehistoric world, and the amount of heavenly information it can access is unimaginably vast.

The God of Deduction needs to analyze and predict this information to provide a basis for decision-making at the pinnacle of the divine path.

This position carries weight no less than that of the Three Pure Ones, who are revered for their teachings, and in some aspects, it is even more central.

Although Fuxi joined the divine path, he ultimately had little understanding or connection with the Wu tribe and the divine system.

Trust between the two parties will take time to build.

Pan Xuan did not directly give him the position of God of Deduction, not because he did not trust him, but because he was responsible for the divine system.

This composure actually gave Fuxi more confidence in the divine system.

"Fuxi accepts the order." Fuxi stood up and solemnly cupped his hands to Pan Xuan.

A Star God Seal flew out from Pan Xuan's sleeve, its purple-gold light shining under the phoenix tree.

He officially conferred the title of Mountain God of Phoenix Perch Mountain upon Fuxi in his capacity as the Lord of the Divine Path. A divine law flew out from the Star Seal and landed between Fuxi's eyebrows.

The deity of the law takes the form of the Eight Trigrams, perfectly matching the innate Eight Trigrams Dao of Fuxi himself.

His perception of the Phoenix Perch Mountain's geological veins became incredibly clear in an instant.

Within a radius of millions of miles, the direction of every spiritual vein, the node of every earth vein, and the flow of every wisp of spiritual energy are all presented in his consciousness as if he were looking at the lines on his palm.

Fuxi felt the power of authority emanating from the deity between his brows and was secretly amazed.

The mountain god's authority was more mysterious than he had anticipated.

This is not as simple as "governing a mountain", but rather connecting Phoenix Mountain with the entire prehistoric landscape through the Shinto network.

He can sense the earth vein fluctuations of Buzhou Mountain through the divine network.

It can receive water vein messages from the East Sea transmitted by the Dragon Clan Water God, and can even vaguely sense the vibrations of the Netherworld Laws coming from the direction of the Blood Sea.

This authority was not merely a symbol of his status, but a qualitative leap in his understanding of deduction.

Previously, he could only rely on the innate Bagua and his own cultivation to deduce heavenly secrets. Now, with the support of the divine network, the amount of information he can access is many times greater than before.

Nuwa watched quietly from the side, a slight thought stirring in her heart.

She could sense the resonance between the divine law deity between Fuxi's brows and the entire divine network. That power was not domineering, but rather carried a gentle and inclusive quality.

The Shinto system will not forcibly change the original way of any deity.

Instead, it endows divine authority upon the original Great Dao, allowing cultivators to further comprehend the laws of heaven and earth while performing their divine duties.

This is completely different from the immortal system transmitted by Hongjun.

The immortal cultivation system emphasizes transcending tribulations and breaking through barriers. Cultivators need to constantly undergo trials by the Heavenly Dao and prove their worth in these trials.

The Shinto system, on the other hand, directly grants authority, allowing practitioners to comprehend the mysteries of the Great Dao in the process of exercising that authority.

One approach is to administer an exam first and then grant qualifications, while the other is to first establish trust and then allow individuals to grow through practical experience.

Nuwa herself had her own judgment on the merits of the two models.

Pan Xuan withdrew the Star Seal and bowed to Fuxi, saying:

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Fuxi. From this day forward, Phoenix Perch Mountain will be the fulcrum of the divine system in the southeast, and you will be the guardian of this world."

Fellow Daoists can explore the many wonderful uses of the Divine Dao Network at their own pace.

If you have any questions, you can contact me at any time through the Star Seal.

Fuxi returned the greeting and said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Panxuan."

Now that Fuxi has entered the path of the gods, he will fulfill his duties as a mountain god.

Fuxi will properly manage the spiritual energy of Phoenix Perch Mountain and the surrounding million li.

Pan Xuan nodded, then turned to Nuwa, his tone still gentle:

"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, I am sorry to have bothered you today. Pan Xuan has come here with no other intention than to convey the sincerity of the divine path."

Regardless of whether fellow Daoists join the Divine Path, Phoenix Mountain will always be a friend of the Witch Clan.

If you ever change your mind, the door to the divine path is always open.

Nuwa bowed slightly and said softly, "Fellow Daoist Panxuan, you flatter me. I will remember your sincerity and respect today."

Pan Xuan did not linger any longer and bowed to the two of them to take his leave.

Fuxi and Nuwa escorted him to the outside of the mountain gate.

As they parted, Pan Xuan turned back to look at Fu Xi and said meaningfully:

"Fellow Daoist Fuxi, the divine network covers the primordial world, and the secrets of heaven flow within it."

If you use the Eight Trigrams to deduce things, you might be able to discover some things that are not easily noticed in ordinary times.

After saying this, he waved his sleeve and transformed into a streak of purple-gold light, rising from in front of Phoenix Perch Mountain and flying towards the direction of Wuzhuang Temple.

Fuxi stood before the mountain gate, watching the streak of light disappear into the horizon, Pan Xuan's last words echoing repeatedly in his mind.

He wasn't stupid; Pan Xuan was implying something.

The divine network covers the primordial world, and the secrets of heaven flow within it. By using his methods of deduction to explore, one can discover things that are not easily noticed in ordinary times.

What is that?

Fuxi almost instinctively thought of Hongjun.
