The Holy Path of the Primordial World Shines Brightly

Chapter 854 Extra Chapter – The Three Pure Ones Discuss Sainthood, Nuwa Plays the Victim

"Waaaaah..."

The wailing sound echoed across Phoenix Perch Mountain, causing those who heard it to grieve and those who saw it to weep.

A once stunning goddess has now become a withering flower, losing her former vitality... Her cries were filled with bitterness and resentment, lamenting the injustice of the world and the pain of her failure.

"Sister Nuwa is still crying..."

Outside Phoenix Perch Mountain, a group of goddesses whispered among themselves, sighing repeatedly, "This time, she lost so, so... so unjustly!"

"May future eras be free of those elaborately planned undercover agents..."

Doumu Yuanjun spoke for Nuwa.

"The world is going to the dogs, and people's hearts are no longer what they used to be... I think this is not just the beginning, but far from the end."

The Holy Mother of Taiyuan feigned mystery, then lowered her voice, "Have you heard?"

"The Fire Cloud Cave has only been completed for two days, and people are already beating drums and protesting their grievances at the entrance..."

"Wow...really?" The two "plastic goddess" sisters, who were gossiping together about Nuwa, discussed this latest rumor. "How come I haven't heard any rumors like this?"

"And what's more... someone actually dared to make a scene in that place?"

"There's a ruthless person sitting in there... someone who could even kill himself!"

"The Dao Fruit of Pangu, the embodiment of humanity, can be severed without hesitation!"

"The Supreme God of Heaven... The Supreme God of Heaven!"

"I still vividly remember his charisma that day—coercing three thousand Great Luo Immortals, all of them to dress as women... Hehehehe!"

As they were talking, someone couldn't help but laugh.

"The scene was incredible..."

"If his sword weren't so big and so flashy, no one would have agreed..."

"However, this matter has blown up so much, it's unlikely to end well..."

"So what?" Jinmu interjected. "As far as I know, Xuanyuan and Taihao made a secret deal regarding the position of the Jade Emperor..."

She said in a low voice, "Xuanyuan suppressed the destiny of the human race and was powerless to attend to other matters, so he invited back the Taihao Heavenly Emperor, allowing the consciousness of the human race's predecessor to awaken and return to preside over the Heavenly Court!"

"So, Haotian... is currently in a state of uncertainty—who dares to bet that when trouble arises, the Haotian they'll face will be either Fuxi or Xuanyuan?"

"Xuanyuan is reasonable, but His Majesty Fuxi..."

Many goddesses fell silent at this moment.

Nuwa is still crying!

A durian kneeling on one's knees is not very harmful, but extremely insulting.

"Everyone knows the truth perfectly well... so no one will go to the Heavenly Court to beat the drum and appeal for justice. They're afraid that the Jade Emperor will pull out an axe, slam it on the table, and say, 'You're all foxes who've been around for billions of years, what are you shouting about? When it comes to investments, can you only win and never lose?'"

"Xuanyuan! That's different!"

He said he wanted to teach everyone the rules!

"That's where things get interesting!"

The Holy Mother of Taiyuan's eyes gleamed with interest. "Beating the drum to appeal for justice, shouting about injustice—this is testing the limits!"

"But now it seems that this Emperor is quite clever... he actually managed to suppress the trending topic."

"What I witnessed here was firsthand when Yuanshi and his brother visited the Human Emperor, and they told me about it after they returned."

"That's normal," the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden murmured. "Who is the most famous writing brush in the primordial world? Bai Ze, of course!"

"Mr. Bai has been on Xuanyuan's pirate ship for quite some time now... suppressing a trending topic is a piece of cake, isn't it?"

"That's true."

The group of goddesses all nodded, then became curious about the inside story of the Three Pure Ones' visit to the Human Emperor. "Moral, Primordial, Lingbao... they actually went to the Fire Cloud Cave?"

"This is a big deal! What do we need to talk about? Sister Taiyuan, please just mention what you can say!"

"Hmm...it's not really a secret; everyone will find out soon enough." The Holy Mother of Taiyuan pondered for a moment before explaining, "Isn't this a new era?"

"Are the saintly positions once bestowed by Heaven still valid?"

"Can officials from the previous dynasty govern the people of today?"

"This is a very important question for the Heavenly Saints... Therefore, all the Saints need to consult the Human Emperor."

"But the Emperor did not answer directly. Instead, he asked a question in return: 'Sages change with the times. In this new era, if you are still sages, how will you govern the people?'"

Taiyuan recalled, "When the Celestial Venerable of Morality heard this, he replied on behalf of the Three Pure Ones—"

"The sage is always without a fixed mind; he takes the mind of the people as his own. To the good, I am good; to the not good, I am also good. To the trustworthy, I am trustworthy; to the untrustworthy, I am also trustworthy. This is the essence of virtue and trustworthiness! The sage is in the world, unassuming and humble, making his heart one with the world. The people all focus their attention on him, and the sage treats them all like children."

The Emperor smiled but said nothing, simply indicating that the Three Pure Ones should go back and wait for further instructions.

Taiyuan rubbed his hands together. "Sisters, what kind of riddle are they talking about? Translate it for me."

"A riddle? What riddle could there be... The Three Pure Ones' positions are secure." Xihe, having served as the Heavenly Empress, was most insightful in this regard. "The Moral Celestial Venerable speaks with finesse... These few words perfectly capture the spirit of the times."

"The sage has no fixed mind; he takes the people's mind as his own... In other words, he serves the common people!"

"The aspirations of humanity and all living beings are what saints strive for!"

"Regardless of whether the common people are kind or honest, the sage should guide them with kindness and integrity, just as he would care for a child."

"This perfectly aligns with the ideology and principles of Xuanyuan's rule; such a sage is one who satisfies humanity."

Xihe commented, "If nothing unexpected happens, the Three Pure Ones, who were sages in the past, will continue to serve as sages, and their power will even be further strengthened."

"That's incredible." Yuanhuang Dasheng said, his eyes half-closed, seemingly half-asleep. "In the era of the Lich King, the Three Pure Ones made the right bet, and the final harvest was immense. The Zhuxian Sword Formation even severed the Heavenly Dao."

"Now that their voice has been strengthened... they might even be able to compete for Pangu's position."

"Here, I'd like to congratulate Taiyuan first."

"Congratulations, congratulations..." a group of goddesses echoed.

"Not at all..." Taiyuan said solemnly, but an uncontrollable smile crept onto his lips. "Competing for Pangu is no easy task."

"With so many powerful figures watching, the nail that sticks out gets hammered down!"

"That's true." Xuan Nu nodded in agreement. "Especially now, it's a crucial moment."

"A mess has been left... It seems that humanity has won and gained the right to be in charge."

"And then what? Who will take charge?"

"For the sake of fairness, Xuanyuan severed his destiny and entered the Fire Cloud Cave... Now the human race urgently needs a new leader who can suppress the gods of the four directions and stop the ancient clans from causing trouble."

"Unification...it sounds simple, but it's difficult to achieve!"

"If things go wrong, Xuanyuan will have lost all his previous efforts and become a retired emperor once he enters the Fire Cloud Cave."

"Moreover, we can't interfere... If we break the rules we set ourselves, people's hearts will fall apart."

"Yeah yeah!"

Numerous goddesses gossiped about the primordial trends.

Regarding this...

Humans' joys and sorrows are not shared. Nuwa, who was crying and wailing in Phoenix Mountain, only found their noise annoying.

Her face was streaked with tears, and she knelt before Durian, cradling a dragon's tail in her arms—the true form of her brother.

One tear after another, carrying the burning grief and anger that even the most powerful rivers and seas could not extinguish, dripped onto the dragon's tail, making their presence felt, and gradually burning to produce a fragrance.

Smell—

Smell—

Nuwa cried and sniffled, then secretly glanced at Fuxi, who was engrossed in an official document and seemed to be lost in thought. She gritted her teeth, secretly opened her mouth, and took a bite.

"hiss!"

Fuxi's face turned green. He could no longer ignore it. He opened his eyes wide and glared at Nuwa. He flicked his finger and tapped Nuwa's slightly swollen brow, making her dizzy and disoriented. Finally, she relented.

"It hurts, it hurts..."

The two people, one touching the head and the other touching the tail, looked at each other.

"What are you looking at!"

Fuxi's gaze gradually turned hostile.

"Waaaaah..."

Nuwa didn't answer "What are you looking at?", she just cried.

"Alright, alright!"

Fuxi waved his hand, "Stop pretending!"

"Stop pretending to cry!"

"Do you think this will work?"

"Are you trying to use your anger and resentment from when you tripped and fell in front of the third brother to change the subject and avoid my punishment?"

"dream!"

"What kind of Nuwa are you? How could I not understand?"

"You've committed treason and assaulted the head of the household! This matter isn't over until you kneel before thirty durians!"

Fuxi said calmly, and the effect was remarkable, stopping Nuwa's howling and freezing her movements and expressions.

Playing the victim won't work, so she gave up. She reluctantly wiped the ginger juice from the corner of her eye, saying, "You should have said so earlier... I wouldn't have cried!"

She looked up to the sky and sighed, adopting the posture of a hero in his twilight years. Unfortunately, the durian tree beneath her knees made her appear somewhat comical. "Success and failure both stem from the third son!"

"That Feng Xi, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually betrayed me in the end?!"

"Fortunately, I was skilled enough to stage a counterattack and rise to power in time... Even if it was only for a quarter of an hour, I managed to break even, so the Lich Chronicles didn't lose out."

Nuwa found joy even in her suffering, completely ignoring Fuxi's darkening face.

Having witnessed Pangu's existence, things are truly different.

They've become more assertive and dare to speak their minds.

Although it's similar to before, I still can't beat my wicked older brother.

But...

She could have run away—running away is shameful, but it's useful!

Having become Pangu, at least I still have some privileges; I can choose not to play with others and do whatever I want.

However, the sunk costs of the past were too great, so she gritted her teeth and accepted the punishment, kneeling on durians as ordered... She had to accept her loss!

If one admits defeat and accepts it, then only a great victory one day will make Fuxi admit defeat as well.

That's called integrity!

After all, she was capable of winning! She truly saw the dawn of victory!

However, despite her honesty, she became quite outspoken, daring to say anything and anything—Fuxi couldn't silence her!

In response, Feng Xi sighed in the Fire Cloud Cave—

This second sister is easy to get along with, she has her own thoughts... she really dares to speak her mind!

Of course, he'll soon stop thinking that way.

"The third brother is my man. What's wrong with stabbing you in the back twice?" The eldest Feng family member said dismissively. "If he hadn't messed up at the crucial moment, you think you could have overthrown me and taken over? Dream on!"

"But speaking of the third brother..." Fuxi's eyes became subtle. "Come on, tell me, how has my little brother treated you all these years? How could you have misjudged him? His acting skills are quite extraordinary."

Undoubtedly, this touched a nerve with Nuwa, immediately opening her up and causing her to start talking.

For a moment, Nuwa started muttering to herself, reminiscing about certain things from the past.

What "I was blind" and "I only knew"... Nuwa's capsizing experience was too pitiful, which ultimately drew a "pfft" laugh from Fuxi, making Nuwa glare angrily.

"Ahem! Go on... What's bothering you? Tell me so I can cheer you up."

Fuxi tried hard to suppress his laughter.

Nuwa rolled up her sleeves, ready to stand up and punch him... but Fuxi pointed at the durian, making her grit her teeth and kneel down.

Unwilling to give up, it stroked the dragon's tail and bit it twice in a fit of rage, causing Fuxi to change color.

Once Nuwa was satisfied, she started nagging again.

The Lich Era left such a deep impression on her that she could never forget it.

Even though she knew Fuxi was just having fun, she still couldn't help but confide in him.

"I really regret it..."

Nuwa muttered to herself, revealing many secrets from the past. She had exposed so many flaws in Emperor Yan's character that she had failed to notice or ignore back then.

If she had the chance to do it all over again, she would definitely do this or that.

Nuwa regretted it.

She had a chance to win, but she didn't cherish it and saw through the traitor's true colors.

If heaven could grant her a few moves she could undo, she would cherish them dearly… If she could undo enough moves, she would wish for ten thousand!

However, as Fuxi listened, his expression changed.

"Wait a minute."

He made the tool Wa pause, his gaze deep, "Repeat this part to me."

"You think I'll just repeat myself because you tell me to?" Nuwa glared at him. "Don't I have any pride?"

"I'll reduce the durian price by one Yuanhui for you." Fuxi had her completely under his control.

"Oh, okay then." Nuwa dutifully repeated the instructions.

As Fuxi listened, the muscles on his face twitched, and he took a deep breath.

"Alright, please continue."

"Okay." Nuwa readily agreed.

She continued speaking.

But...

Not long after, it was stopped again.

"Let me repeat this."

"Hmm? Is that so? Come on, extract this memory of yours and recreate the scene from back then."

"I see……"

……

The more Nuwa spoke, the faster Fuxi's expression changed.

In the end, he went beyond just showing fluctuations in his expression; he started to take out an axe.

He meticulously honed his skills, and his brilliance suddenly emerged, astonishing the world.

"What do you mean by this?" Nuwa frowned.

"You've been telling me stories for so long," Fuxi said quietly. "I also have a story to tell you."

"I have a friend who has a younger sister..."

A story about a friend of mine.

Nuwa understood immediately, and her face immediately fell – wasn't this a clear mockery of her?

However, she soon noticed subtle details; it was a story about the younger sister's older brother.

after that……

She rallied in solidarity with the enemy.

"Traitor, he deserves to die!"

"They're actually acting as middlemen and profiting from the price difference?!"

The two people compared answers.

then……

Everything is clear now.
