The Holy Path of the Primordial World Shines Brightly

Chapter 56 The Demon-Summoning Banner, the Holy Mother Nuwa!

Humans living in the primordial world cannot escape the rules of that world.

otherwise……

That would likely result in them being tacitly slaughtered by countless powerful beings!

Feng Xi saw clearly the terrifying dark forces behind this fortune, his face filled with sorrow, and he sighed softly.

"No Great Luo Immortal is simple... They effortlessly exploit countless beings, accumulating immense wealth to achieve their own power..."

With so many people above us... can those in lower positions really have a chance to rise up?

He was somewhat confused.

Perhaps sensing Feng Xi's distress, Xi Huang said slowly, "Don't be too disappointed with the situation and lose heart."

"Even something as grand as the workings of heaven and earth has a glimmer of hope and uncertainty... How can the rules of this game be said to be immutable through the ages?"

"In normal times, when order is stable, and the upper echelons compete without breaking apart and coexist in harmony despite their differences, no matter how talented you are, you will have to bow your head and compromise with the times."

"With his wisdom and talent, he could create a vast amount of wealth, but it will be seized by others... If Da Luo has any conscience and some sense of propriety, he might give you some share of the profits—but don't even think about taking control."

"And if you're greedy... it wouldn't be surprising if you were sent into the cycle of reincarnation."

"However, there is one exception!" The Great Sage Fuxi smiled, "That is the Great Calamity period!"

"The clash of major factions, the standoff between the Great Luo Immortals, the mutual sealing of heavenly secrets, the severing of time... this is an era that can create heroes!"

"The game's structure has crumbled, and the era's order has collapsed. With the death of a Great Luo, the resources he controlled have become vacant."

"Even if the resources left by the fallen are quickly taken by their opponents or teammates... as long as some are left, it will be enough for those with courage, boldness and wisdom to eat their fill."

"Furthermore, the battle requires fresh blood to fill the gaps... Those powerful figures at the top will also allow their cannon fodder to transform into new players."

"Therefore, though the road ahead is fraught with difficulties, the future... may still be bright." Fuxi looked at Fengxi, his tone playful. "As long as you truly possess the talent and wisdom to discern the key points from the games of countless players, and to make every move perfectly correct..."

Feng Xi remained silent, the confusion on his face had dissipated, and a glimmer of light shone in his eyes.

That was the light of hope.

"Alright, having discussed fortune, let's talk about merit." Fuxi changed the subject. "Merit and fortune are closely related, almost like two sides of the same coin."

"Those who have performed great deeds will naturally have great fortune; having great fortune is essentially the same as having performed great deeds... The two can be equated."

"Having accumulated merit and virtue brings the protection of Heaven and Earth—this in itself is a great fortune."

"Those who possess great fortune are invincible and turn misfortune into good fortune. Isn't this also a manifestation of merit?" Fuxi explained in detail. "Therefore, fortune and merit are inseparable."

"As I just told you, the essence of fortune is the interaction between heaven and man, calculating the resources and productivity you control... So, merit is the way to monetize fortune."

"However, this process of performance... after countless studies by the Great Luo, there is a set of formulas involved, which is extremely complex and requires far too many calculations."

"It is necessary to analyze celestial phenomena, geography, changes in time and space, and the flow of destiny... The most crucial step in the creation of fake fortune and fake merit by many powerful figures in the past lies in this."

"Eh..." Feng Xi scratched his head, somewhat puzzled and confused. "Wait... I heard that merit is about doing good deeds, isn't it about doing things that benefit heaven and earth?"

"Why are we getting involved in these strange-sounding things now?"

"A good deed? Beneficial to heaven and earth?" Xi Huang's expression was strange for a long time before he chuckled, "Who defined this 'good' and this 'beneficial'?"

"Who's in charge?"

"It's like creating humans...creating the human race, isn't that a great deed?"

"Then can you tell me, since the birth of humanity, how much have we contributed to the world?"

"It's one thing for people to shout that man can conquer nature, but occasionally someone will pop up with the banner of 'defying the heavens,' 'slaughtering the heavens,' or 'slaying the heavens'... If the heavens have a spirit, they will surely remember these people."

"And the most crucial one."

"To create humankind would be a great merit... Brave young man!"

"I have a pile of Breath of Earth and the Three Lights Divine Water right here. Go and create the human race for me!"

"With your cultivation as a Golden Immortal, understanding the mysteries of the human body is not difficult for you... I have the blueprints for the human form and soul here."

"Young man, go for it!"

"I believe in you!"

Fuxi entrusted Fengxi with an important task, solemnly presenting him with a blueprint and gesturing with his eyes, instructing him to create the human race.

Feng Xi smiled awkwardly and didn't take it.

"How could I possibly steal the merits of the Holy Mother Nuwa?" he said. "My conscience is not dead; I respect the sages of humanity. How could I possibly commit such a disrespectful act?"

Fuxi gave him a deep look, then suddenly burst out laughing. "It's not that you don't want to, it's that you dare not, isn't it?"

"If one's virtue is not commensurate with one's position, disaster will surely follow."

"Trying to acquire merit without sufficient foundation and strength... will only lead to a terrible end!"

"He who has performed great deeds to save the world must also have the ability to save the world."

"Only the supreme being of heaven and earth can create the protagonists of heaven and earth!"

Emperor Fuxi carefully put away the blueprints. "Only the human race created by the most powerful beings is the true human race... The rest?"

"It doesn't count at all!"

"Otherwise, you would see countless human races appearing in this primordial world... Aren't there just as many Grand Luo Immortals who want to take shortcuts?"

"Based on information about the future, they can create countless races with a mere wave of their hand... But is there any merit in that?"

"No, it won't happen."

As Fuxi spoke, he revealed a chilling piece of information to Feng Xi: "Actually, when Nuwa created humans... she had no merit to gain at the beginning."

"To say that creating humans is a great act of merit... is actually wrong."

Feng Xi was taken aback. "What? Creating humans doesn't bring merit?"

"Yes, there is no merit involved." Fuxi nodded. "In fact, if we disregard the so-called protagonist's halo, what is the existence of the human race among the trillions of races in the primordial world?"

"The position of the protagonist in this world is the result of countless battles and struggles, a victory won through hard work and bloodshed... it's not something that falls into the lap of heaven!"

"Humanity's victory was the result of the combined efforts of the powerful beings behind the scenes... and what was Nuwa's role?"

"She was the one who opened the betting pool, starting this game!"

"You can also think of it as an investment..." Fuxi looked at the somewhat bewildered Fengxi and explained slightly, "If the investment is successful, you will make a fortune and generate immeasurable merit."

"Because of Da Luo's methods, the result is reversed and the cause is reversed... Future wealth is present wealth."

"Therefore, in the eyes of those below the Great Luo level, she has performed great merit by creating humans... In reality, the cause and effect are unpredictable, and the outcome cannot be determined until the end of the great kalpa."

"If she fails, all her years of savings will be wiped out in one day, and she will have to honestly become the demon king and live off the dividends from her shares in the demon race."

Feng Xi listened with great interest.

But as he listened, he felt something was off.

"Nuwa, the Holy Queen... why do I get this feeling of a major boss? She even has the air of a villain?"

"Isn't this like betting on both sides?"

To know, what is the origin of the Witch Clan?

Those are humans!

Nuwa is the founder of the human race company, and she also holds a board seat in the demon race group... How could she not succeed with her hedging tactics on both ends?

With the human race achieving a great victory, will the human race, as the company's founder, reap little reward?

Humanity suffered a crushing defeat, the Witch Clan perished, and the Demon Clan became the sole protagonist of the world.

As one of the Four Sovereigns, how could Nuwa receive less of her share of the spoils?

Even if the investment losses among humans are huge, this dividend can mostly make up for them... and in the long run, they will even make a profit!

Feng Xi admitted that he was no match for him.

only……

"If the Holy King Nuwa does this, pushing the human race to compete... can the higher-ups of the demon race tolerate it?" He was very puzzled.

"First of all, the contradictions of this era have accumulated to a certain limit... The gods have suffered under Hongjun for too long!"

"Even if there are no humans, some other race will appear and compete with the demon race that represents Hongjun's will... It's just that the great supernatural beings are appearing in different guises."

"My younger sister saw this opportunity and provided a platform... Everyone knows that deep down."

"Secondly... Nuwa is very capable and ambitious." Fuxi smiled with satisfaction. "With the Demon-Summoning Banner in her hands, she is destined to enjoy a certain status and benefits among the demons."

"The Demon-Summoning Banner..." Feng Xi thought of something.

"Once the Demon-Summoning Banner is unleashed, it can command all demons and spirits throughout the endless heavens and all times and spaces, forcing them to submit from their very core!" Fuxi said. "This is a powerful weapon of the demon race!"

"With this, she can be on equal footing with Di Jun, and the Demon Emperor's status is rightfully hers."

Feng Xi clicked her tongue, finding it hard to believe. "This powerful artifact should have been in the hands of Emperor Jun, the Demon Emperor, shouldn't it?"

"No, no, no... Little sister is the most qualified to evolve the Way of Creation," Fuxi said. "You are ultimately limited by your realm and cultivation, and your perspective is too narrow."

"I do not understand the profound mystery of the Great Luo's reversal of cause and effect and the reversal of time sequence."

"After cultivating my destiny and attaining the Great Luo Dao, my younger sister reversed time in one fell swoop, crossing over to the point in time when the world was successfully created!"

"In that desolate era, before the essence of heaven and earth had evolved into countless races and beings, she left her most profound mark."

The more Feng Xi listened, the more his soul trembled; it was a terror he could not even imagine.

"She used her own way of creation to replace the instinctive rules of the evolution of heaven and earth and the creation of living beings... and incidentally, she left her own traces of the Dao in the origin of all races."

"From this point on, all living beings not belonging to the Great Luo will be subject to her control and obey her commands!"

"The Creator, the Holy Mother Nuwa... is not just her title among humans."

"But...all races!"
