The Holy Path of the Primordial World Shines Brightly

Chapter 57 All Gods Are Dark, Xi's Soliloquy, Nuwa's Struggle for the Great Dao of Earth

The Creator, the Holy Mother Nuwa!

This is Nuwa's supreme position in the hearts of all post-natal beings!

Not just humans, but also demons!

'Perhaps the Witch Clan is the only exception?' Feng Xi thought to herself in amazement. 'Although the soul of the Witch Clan originates from the human race, their physical bodies are formed using the blood of the Great God Pangu…'

"However, this is terrifying enough..."

A scene appeared in Feng Xi's mind.

That was a scene he had imagined—

Nuwa, the Holy Queen, sat high in the chaos, looking down upon the vast wilderness, watching countless races live and multiply, and revealing a benevolent smile.

"In the beginning of time, I planted a seed... As time went by, I reaped a harvest of fruit..."

"My children... all of you must call me Mom!"

This kind of disrespectful image, full of villainous aura, played out wildly in Feng Xi's mind.

It was only with great determination that he was finally cut down... so that if he thought about it too much, he wouldn't attract the attention of Nuwa and get slapped.

Even so, Feng Xi only got a glimpse of the whole picture through a small part. For the first time in his life, he learned about the actual manifestation of the Great Luo's power, how crazy it was to reverse cause and effect and tamper with the root; he learned why those who knew the Great Luo were respectfully called administrators, which made all those below them despair.

—After countless years of cultivation since the creation of heaven and earth, he attained the Great Luo Dao, then traveled back in time, his Dao permeated heaven and earth, replaced creation, and refined the false into the true to become the creator of all races... How utterly depraved!

"No wonder, even when the Holy King Nuwa created the human race to compete, the powerful demons turned a blind eye... they were simply too strong!"

"No wonder the Demon-Summoning Banner is held by Nuwa... She is the origin of the demon race, how could she not command all the demons under heaven?"

"She created both demons and humans... No wonder there are legends that Nuwa, the Holy Queen, was not only a heroine who mended the sky and saved the world, and a goddess who molded humans from clay, but also the nature goddess who created all things!"

"It possesses immense supernatural powers, capable of creating all things; it can create at least seventy different things every day!"

Feng Xi admired Nuwa's power, feeling that it was immeasurable and an ultimate level that he could not even imagine.

At the same time, a strange thought arose.

—Why would a character as overpowered as Nuwa have three people ranked alongside her as emperors?

Before learning about Nuwa's great achievements, Feng Xi thought it was normal for the demon race to have four emperors, but now...

Although the Great Sage Fuxi treated him well, if he were to make a list in his mind right now... well, Feng Xi's stance wouldn't be so firm.

Fuxi narrowed his eyes, looking at Feng Xi with a kind and approachable smile. "Young man, what are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking..." Feng Xi said solemnly, "Nuwa is so powerful, yet you, Xi Huang, are her brother... This shows that you must possess extraordinary wisdom to have trained her so well!"

Feng Xi sensed an ominous aura from the smile of the Great Sage Fuxi.

So, instinctively and following his heart, he said the words mentioned above.

The next moment, Feng Xi clearly felt that Xi Huang's smile had become much more genuine.

Clearly, he was satisfied with Feng Xi's words.

Of course, the Great Sage Fuxi did not admit it directly. Instead, he said in a sighing tone, "Alas... I have certainly helped my little sister's growth to some extent."

"But she got to this point largely thanks to herself."

Xi Huang seemed to sigh, as if reminiscing, "The Way of Creation controls all races and living beings below the Great Luo... Such power is not easily obtained!"

"This is a power that even the most powerful figures in the world would go crazy for!"

"Once mastered, it becomes inextricably linked to the fate of humanity... Even if one does nothing, with the propagation of all races, one will constantly accumulate boundless fortune and merit!"

"You can easily imagine—how many primordial deities would fight tooth and nail, even to the point of shattering heaven and earth, for this power?" said Xi Huang. "Moreover, back then, it was the era of the dragon and phoenix vying for supremacy, a place fraught with danger at every turn!"

"My sister has stumbled into that murky water; it won't be easy for her to get out unscathed!"

"The best outcome would be for her to share the power of creation with some deities..."

From what Xi Huang said, Feng Xi could sense the urgency of the situation; Nuwa was facing enormous challenges and crises!

"However, at that moment..." Fuxi said in a deep voice, "I burned my very essence and Dao fruit in one fell swoop, placing a crucial bet on her victory..."

"And my younger sister lived up to expectations, seizing the temporary advantage to ultimately defeat all her competitors and successfully forge the Demon-Summoning Banner!"

"For this reason, even though I didn't travel much in the primordial world or participate in the magnificent era to gain fortune and merit during the entire Dragon and Phoenix Era... it was all worth it," Xi Huang sighed softly.

"You weren't involved in that era?" Feng Xi asked in surprise.

"Not bad... a year of quiet recuperation to replenish my essence, no time to go out." Fuxi nodded, then suddenly smiled, "However, perhaps it's a blessing in disguise."

"Because I was not involved in that era and participated in the chaotic battles between the Great Luo Immortals, I did not go mad like those people, frantically creating false fortune and merit to steal Pangu's legacy..." Fuxi said slowly, "You know, in that era, everyone understood the essence of fortune and knew it was related to Pangu. Almost everyone went crazy."

"Ordinary Grandmasters of Immortality may fake their abilities, but what about those at the very top who possess extraordinary supernatural powers?"

"The frenzied creation of fortune overdraws the potential of living beings, leading to inflation, and ultimately causing a great depression in the world, causing trillions of races to wail... This is how the Demon Ancestor Rahu rose to power."

"It was a very chaotic era... Every active innate deity had a less than honorable side."

"In terms of credibility, it is worrying."

"And I... because I was uninvolved, I was spotless and pure, becoming a fairy flower among the gods, rising from the mud unsullied."

Xi Huang lamented the unpredictability of the world, "so much so that the primordial deities who distrust each other are willing to place their trust in me... which makes my position special."

"Furthermore, my understanding of the principles of change has made a great contribution to the breakthrough of the Great Luo Dao Realm... and thus I have obtained the position of a king among the demon race."

The Great Sage Fuxi laughed and said, "In fact, the positions of the Four Emperors in the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race are all mysterious and not simply determined by the difference in strength."

"Oh?" Feng Xi perked up instantly.

"The Four Sovereigns correspond in essence to—Heaven, Earth, Ruler, Parents, and Teacher!" Fuxi said leisurely. "I can barely be considered half a teacher, having made significant contributions to the path of cultivation."

"Empress Nuwa, who gave rise to all races, can be considered a relative."

"Fellow Daoist Di Jun, with the sun shining upon the primordial world, you have left your mark in the hearts of all living beings, and you stand high above, as Emperor and Sovereign!"

"And Taiyi, wielding the Chaos Bell—one of the supreme treasures that created the world—is in accordance with the destiny of heaven and earth!"

"The Four Emperors joined forces, encompassing all living beings, which is why they were able to establish the Heavenly Court and rule over the primordial world!"

"How terrifying!" After Feng Xi truly understood the definition of the Four Emperors, he could only come up with such words after racking his brains.

The demon race is indeed terrifying!

However, he still had confidence in the Wu Clan... After all, they directly inherited the legacy of Pangu, and it was Pangu who created heaven and earth!

"My witch clan is able to contend with the demon clan... The twelve ancestral witches must also have their own unique skills, right?" Feng Xi asked.

"Of course, the Twelve Ancestral Witches are indeed remarkable." Fuxi commented, not belittling the Witch Clan just because he was the emperor of the Demon Clan. He was fair and just, and his heart was as pure and flawless as his reputation.

"Things like the Time Ancestral Witch and the Space Ancestral Witch... are alright when viewed individually."

"But if we join forces... the significance will be extraordinary—time and space!" Fuxi said solemnly. "The essence of the Great Luo is the eternal freedom of endless time and space... Now someone is tampering with time and space, possessing control originating from Pangu. How terrifying is that!"

"And then there's Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, who cannot be ignored either." Xi Huang suddenly sighed softly, "Houtu...transformation into reincarnation!"

"You must already know this."

Feng Xi nodded vigorously.

If it weren't for Houtu's reincarnation, how could he have ended up in the prehistoric world to participate in the great calamity in such a muddled way?

Faced with the choice between dying immediately and being blacklisted, and dying later and possibly surviving, Feng Xi had no choice.

"Then don't you understand?" Fuxi said, "The Transformation of Reincarnation... this means grasping the very essence of the true spirit of all living beings!"

"Nuwa and Houtu each went to opposite extremes."

"One governs life, the other governs death."

"The living worship Nuwa, the dead worship Houtu..."

"Moreover, Houtu's status seems to be slightly higher than my younger sister's..."

"After all... living people are not so easy to control." Fuxi's eyes were deep. "Some beings, their minds and thoughts have already transcended the constraints of their physical bodies."

"How do you say certain things?"

"My body is imprisoned, but my soul is free!"

"What a pity when facing Houtu... is there any freedom of the soul?"

"It doesn't exist!"

"Even if they die, it's all her responsibility!"

"Using the Dao of Reincarnation to contend with the Dao of Creation... the battle between these two goddesses will last for countless eons!"

Feng Xiqian swallowed hard, feeling his worldview being completely shattered. "Didn't Lady Houtu transform into a being of great compassion, willingly sacrificing herself to accomplish this great deed?"

"A heart full of great compassion?" Fuxi laughed, a strange laugh. "To transform into reincarnation at the crucial moment of the Lich Calamity, if it weren't for the critical importance and the benefit to the overall situation, but purely out of a little kindness... then he would be sending countless Lich people to their doom!"

"Using the heads of countless respected and beloved subordinates, and eleven comrades who fought alongside you, to accumulate merit?"

"Are you sure this is compassion and merit, and not intellectual disability or cerebral palsy?"

"Put yourself in their shoes... When the survival of your tribe is at stake, one of its top fighters says, 'I want to love all living beings, I want to bring blessings to the world,' and waves his hand, saying he's done playing. What kind of expression would you have?"

Feng Xi thought about it and he was certain—if he could beat that guy, he had to kill him!

"So, Houtu's transformation into reincarnation... that's all there is to it," Fuxi concluded. "While the results are certainly good and beneficial to all living beings, the starting point..."

"However, sentient beings have no right to criticize—just give you the cycle of reincarnation, what's with all the fuss?"

—Doing good deeds is already good enough, how dare you ask for so much more?

"With the attainment of the Great Dao of Reincarnation, Houtu now has the foundation for the ultimate destination of countless beings... and can truly contend with Nuwa's Great Dao of Creation!" Xi Huang's lips curled slightly. "From then on, an endless struggle for the Great Dao began!"

"Nuwa yearns for Houtu's Dao, and Houtu also yearns for Nuwa's Dao... because once they devour each other's Dao fruit crystals!"

"The ultimate victor will hold the life and death of all living beings in their hands, and the fate of humanity will hang in the balance... This is the truly great power that can overturn the chessboard and defy the laws of nature!"
