The Holy Path of the Primordial World Shines Brightly

Chapter 16: The Story of the Scapegoat, Success and Failure

In the end, the Dragon Ancestor was defeated.

Phoenix Saint has met her end.

Meanwhile, Nuwa, Fuxi, Jieyin, Kunpeng, Hongyun... this era continues to thrive.

So, who is the winner?

"Strength doesn't guarantee victory... the one who laughs last is the true winner!"

Feng Xi had gained some insight.

"Azure Dragon and Primordial Phoenix, who ruled over all the gods, ultimately met their demise... uh, no, that's not quite right either?"

"These two, it seems, later invested in the human race?"

The twelve zodiac animals and the dragon totem are undoubtedly the return on the investment of the Dragon Ancestor, leaving a distinct mark on the inheritance of the human race.

The phoenix has always been deeply admired and loved by people, who use it as a metaphor to express their feelings, and countless words of praise have been bestowed upon it.

Compared to the dragon race, the phoenix lineage seems to live a more carefree life.

Myths and histories are intricate and complex, with conflict and cooperation intertwined in a tangled mess. Who can possibly unravel it all?

Fortunately, through Bai Ze's "Records of the Primordial Era," Feng Xi was able to observe a corner of the story and learn some inside information.

Unfortunately, the last line of text in the prologue, which cut off the beginning and end, became the biggest flaw in the entire piece, ruining its aesthetic appeal.

Cut off the beginning and end, and it's full of "****" symbols...

Feng Xi vouched for himself with his integrity, stating that he absolutely did not frequently use his left and right hands in a slow motion, which would weaken his body and cause blurred vision.

Rather, this itself was like painting a mosaic over the cavalry, which already had thick armor.

Feng Xi's curiosity was stirring, so he took out a magnifying glass and used his divine eye, but... it was of no use.

The text was not covered up or erased by human hands, but rather destroyed at its source, so that it would not be known to later generations.

Just like when Bai Ze was writing, he would cut off the beginning and end, leaving only a few words.

Feng Xi flipped back to the table of contents and examined it in detail.

"Hmm... Beast Calamity? Yes."

"The Dragon and Phoenix Calamity? That exists too."

"The Tribulation of the Dao and the Demon? That's a bit short, isn't it? But it's there."

"Huh? And then? That's it?"

Turning to the last page of the book, it was clearly written—

"Rahu was defeated and sacrificed himself, swearing an oath of curse—"

"As the Tao rises, the demons fall; as the Tao falls, the demons rise... He will one day return, destroy the world, and slaughter all living beings!"

Very good, this statement is very demonic, very demonic.

And then... it's gone.

That's it!

It's as if the words spoken in the prologue were written by Bai Ze after drinking too much, just casually picking up his pen.

"hiss!"

Feng Xi suddenly shivered, a chill running down her spine.

"What exactly happened... that even a great supernatural being like Bai Ze was terrified? Why didn't he dare record it, instead choosing to gloss over it so hastily?"

"History holds great terrors!"

He was terrified.

—Even Bai Ze didn't dare to explain it in detail, so why would this little guy dare to go up there?

"I... I'd better pretend I didn't see anything."

At this moment, Feng Xi suddenly comprehended a divine power, which was called—selective blindness.

I gave myself a blindness treatment, and I immediately felt much more at ease.

Knowing too much can also be a problem.

When her worries disappeared, Fengxi was able to enjoy reading again.

He flipped through this book, "The History of the Primordial Era," and felt the dedication and greatness of the primordial deities between the lines.

What a magnificent and righteous group of supreme saints they were!

They are the defenders of world order. To protect the primordial world and safeguard all living beings, they sacrificed their lives and stood firmly at the forefront of the fight against the ferocious beasts, never retreating.

The ferocious beasts slaughtered countless lives and caused widespread destruction... Fortunately, thanks to the efforts of the innate deities, they were almost wiped out, making them a rare and protected species.

They are the founders of civilization—in the beginning of time, everything was ignorant and chaotic.

Cultivation techniques?

nonexistent.

The reason why such a prosperous cultivation civilization and countless wonderful supernatural powers and spells exist in this primordial world is because the innate saints made bloody attempts time and time again, risking their lives to open up new paths and create new spells!

Every innate deity is worthy of the respectful title of "Tao Ancestor"!

……

"This isn't right?"

After Feng Xi finished reading "The Records of the Primordial Era", he was completely bewildered and his eyes were blank.

Throughout the entire book, every word praises the greatness and flawlessness of the innate divinity. It is a magnificent chapter of human wisdom and an immortal epic!

"What happened to the dark history you were promised?" Feng Xi stroked her chin. "All I see is the glorious and righteous side."

"And why was this book banned?"

"And why is it that, according to the prevailing narrative, most of the innate deities were born in this era, and were born at the Great Luo level?"

Feng Xi flipped through the book repeatedly, trying to uncover some secrets.

Finally, he realized something.

Something's not right...

"These descriptions... are too fake, too unrealistic."

"Perfect as if they were idols worshipped by people, coldly benevolent and loving towards all living beings..."

The innate, sacred, and righteous?

That's bullshit!

Feng Xi had no doubt that these people were determined and had brilliant minds.

But if they were all morally upright and concerned about the common people... how did the Lich War even begin?

"This book, *The Records of the Primordial Era*, is quite problematic."

Feng Xi shook her head, "The credibility has suddenly dropped a lot..."

"However, this cannot be blamed on Bai Ze."

"After all, if all the dark histories of the Great Luo Saint were truly exposed..."

"He probably won't see the sun rise the next day."

"Moreover, this character also contains hidden secrets in the book."

"As long as I... read it backwards!"

"Grasp the core issue firmly—make someone take the blame, and you might discover something."

"After all, hundreds of years ago, those nine bastard teammates were incredibly adept at using me as a scapegoat!"

Having once been fortunate enough to witness the utter disregard for morality by some powerful beings, Feng Xi matured overnight.

As the saying goes, "a fall into a pit, a gain in your wit," Feng Xi feels great now!

"History is written by the victors, and their stance is naturally on the side of the victors, so they can throw all sorts of blame on the losers."

"So, this ferocious beast clan is so powerful and invincible... is it really all them who killed them?"

"And then there's the Dragon-Phoenix rivalry... As the fighting went on, both sides' bigwigs were killed, yet their subordinates lived such carefree lives. Are you sure it wasn't their innate divine beings who collectively sacrificed themselves for their leader?"

"During the calamity of the Dao and the Demon, Rahu slaughtered indiscriminately, killing thousands of Great Luo Immortals. He even nearly destroyed the primordial world, re-establishing earth, water, fire, and wind, and starting anew..."

"Are you sure there aren't any innate deities here who sought revenge against each other, ruthlessly killing each other... and then simply dumping the death list on Rahu and calling it a day?"

"Please take the blame... since you can't voice any objections anyway."

The person is cold and completely dead, how can they still open their mouth to refute?
