Chapter 288 The Scheming Old Men of the Main World
As for the creation of heaven and earth, we'll see if Li Muyang has any thoughts on it when he becomes stronger. For now, just treat it as entertainment.
Not everyone who witnesses the creation of the world can gain unique insights! Even if Fuxi limited the scope of his observations!
After a series of operations, the Central Plains regained its vibrant appearance, and the saints reconnected the various regions of Blue Star that they had been protecting with the Central Plains. Unfortunately, only Li Muyang and his group witnessed this miraculous feat! The locals were in a state of timelessness.
After finishing his work, Fuxi returned leisurely and handed something to Li Muyang.
"Here! Take this. We don't have much to give you, but we found this deep within this Central Plains during the creation of the world. It's perfect as a gift!"
Li Muyang stared in disbelief as he received the green lotus seed from Fuxi, momentarily stunned.
Green lotus seeds?!
Even the sages were stunned! The Azure Lotus Seed?!
There are actually lotus seeds here?
The twelve-grade Creation Lotus was divided among the Three Pure Ones, yet some lotus seeds were still preserved?!
Li Muyang is indeed incredibly lucky!
Then, Fuxi waved his hand, and the few remaining Dragon Kings of the Dragon Vein that Li Muyang had seen in this world appeared before the saints and the crowd!
Upon seeing the crowd, the Dragon Kings of the Dragon Vein, who had been completely bewildered, immediately understood what had happened and hurriedly kowtowed in gratitude: "We thank all the saints and His Majesty the Holy Emperor for his heaven-defying power, for reopening the world, for freeing us from this sea of suffering, and for giving us a glimmer of hope!"
Fuxi smiled kindly, then gave some stern instructions, reprimanded the Dragon Vein and Old Zhu for their underhanded behavior back then, and finally used a combination of carrot and stick to reinstate the Dragon King to his original duties, guiding the Central Plains.
The dragon kings of the dragon veins were overjoyed and bowed in gratitude.
Ao Tai gave Li Muyang a grateful look. He hadn't expected Li Muyang to be so helpful! He had actually managed to get the help of all the sages! He had reopened the world! Not only had he restored life to the Central Plains, but he hadn't blamed them for their past actions either, restoring them to their original positions so they could continue doing their jobs!
No more words! We are deeply grateful! From now on, Brother Li, you are our savior! Don't hesitate to ask if you need any help! Don't be shy!
This can be considered as something Fuxi did intentionally!
As the Central Plains regained its vitality, a celestial gate suddenly appeared in the sky. The sages raised an eyebrow. This seemed to be a gate to the Earthly Immortal Realm? It should also be a part that flew out back then.
What matters is not the sect itself, but the people who emerge from it!
A slender Taoist priest with white hair and a youthful face, who looked kind, honest and kind, flew over with two young disciples, looking very excited!
"Fellow Daoists!!! Hahahaha!!! This old Daoist has finally seen the light of day!!!"
"Brother Zhenyuan!!!"
The saints were all startled; they never expected that the Earthly Immortal Realm above this world would actually be the Wuzhuang Temple of Zhen Yuanzi, which had been missing for a long time!
In his shock, Li Muyang explained Zhen Yuanzi's identity to those around him who were not familiar with him.
A renowned ginseng fruit producer!
After learning from the saints why they had come here, Zhenyuan Daxian didn't hesitate to take out several ginseng fruits and stuff them into Li Muyang's hands, thanking him, "Thank you so much, young friend! I've almost given up hope these past few years! I was even prepared to risk venturing into the chaos to find the coordinates of the main world if all else failed! I never expected that you would save me and this world!"
As he spoke, the immortal was about to bow! Li Muyang was so frightened that he hurriedly grabbed him, "Immortal! You mustn't! You'll shorten your lifespan!"
Zhenyuan Daxian was also very strong. Perhaps he couldn't compare to the Three Sovereigns and Heavenly Emperors, but he was still in the top tier. Unfortunately, he had no way to save this fragmented world that was detached from the main world. He could only drift aimlessly in the chaos. In addition, the things that Old Zhu did in the mortal world almost made this kind-hearted Taoist priest angry to death!
In a fit of anger, he was even willing to abandon all responsibility and only protect those he could.
Now everything's alright! Everyone's happy! He can go home! The world won't completely collapse! How could he not thank Li Muyang?
After calming down Zhenyuan Daxian, Li Muyang also understood the special relationship between Shennong, Hongyun, and Taiyi from the conversation among the saints.
Hmm, it really is one person's pseudonym!
The original Taiyi held an extremely high position, being the Primordial Beginning! His true form was not a golden crow, but rather the primordial energy before the beginning of chaos and the separation of heaven and earth! To be precise, he was the Heavenly Emperor Taiyi! The Supreme Taiyi!
However, he was a naturally born deity who cherished his life very much. He had a strong sense of crisis from birth and was very suspicious at first. He had a feeling that "there are always treacherous people who want to harm me" regarding his special status.
Later, by chance, Taiyi obtained a secret technique and created a disguise using a cloud of innate blessings and good fortune, which he used to travel through the prehistoric world.
The Golden Crow Taiyi in the background is still using a disguise!
Who knew that his fame would grow so much, and given that this secret technique was so unique that it was difficult to see through the relationship between the two unless one was a whole realm stronger than Taiyi, he couldn't bear to give up this disguise he had created at such great cost, so he had no choice but to play both roles at the same time.
Everything was fine until Daozu Honggou became a saint and preached at Zixiao Palace!
The secret techniques of Taiyi can be concealed from those of the same realm, so how could they possibly be concealed from the Dao Ancestor who has become a saint?
The Primordial Purple Qi was originally intended for Taiyi, but because this guy was too cowardly to take the initiative, he doubted the function of the Primordial Purple Qi and was not at ease with the Heavenly Dao. So he actually let Hongyun, this incarnation, take the position, refusing the Primordial Purple Qi himself, and even used this as an excuse to drive Kunpeng down...
Although this can be considered an opportunity for the two Western Saints, and Kunpeng was unlucky, the Dao Ancestor was very unhappy!
So, taking this opportunity, he gave the Primordial Purple Qi, which was originally ordained by Heaven to belong to the First Beginning of the Great Origin, to Hongyun!
Yes, Dao Ancestor knew that Hongyun was Taiyi in disguise! So, from the Heavenly Dao's perspective, Dao Ancestor did the right thing. As for Taiyi's inability to defend himself later, that was his problem!
Taiyi also realized that his true identity had definitely been exposed. Fortunately, the Dao Ancestor did not reveal it. So he also prepared to put on a show to make Hongyun leave the stage. By the way, he could also take away the Primordial Purple Qi, regardless of whether he used it or not... In the end, he calculated too much and failed to protect his Primordial Purple Qi.
Finally, for various reasons, Taiyi saw through it all and realized that his scheming had backfired. He stopped caring about the Primordial Purple Qi and, after the Lich War, took the initiative to enter the cycle of reincarnation, eventually becoming the Earth Emperor Shennong.
This primordial purple energy, after going through many twists and turns, still ended up in his hands, though only a third of it.
Fuxi was another one who schemed too much.
However, he only created this incarnation of Di Jun to escape his fate... It has to be said that he and Taiyi are truly a pair of hidden dragons and phoenixes!
Originally, they were the only two most competitive contenders for the Primordial Purple Qi, but they failed because they overthought things. In the end, however, they had a profound realization and became who they are today.
"Heh... Otherwise, why do you think that Di Jun's so-called innate spiritual treasure, the Hetu Luoshu, has such a high compatibility with Fuxi? Even higher than Di Jun himself?" Li Yunfei complained with a long face, "It's all against the Heavenly Gang! It's just that the Demon Court made too much noise later! He was afraid he couldn't control the situation, so he had to reveal part of it on his own!"
Fuxi chuckled foolishly to the side, thinking, "That's because I was young and naive back then..."
Nuwa was also helpless, covering her face in embarrassment. Back then, to cooperate with her brother's act, the two of them pretended to be troubled by Dijun and Taiyi... At the time, they thought Taiyi had been deceived by the two of them, which was indeed the case, but they never expected that Taiyi was also an imposter...
Yes, this is the true state of development in this primordial world—everyone's a cunning old fox! Identities are everywhere!
Li Yunfei is also quite remarkable! Before becoming Xuanyuan, his previous life was the Northern Dark Tortoise, the one whose limbs were cut off and which became the pillar of heaven after Gonggong angrily struck Buzhou Mountain! The tortoise shell shield he pulled out earlier was his natal magic weapon, forged from the tortoise shell of his previous life.
However, compared to those two cunning old foxes, Fuxi and Shennong, he was still a bit lacking, because his original body was too strong and thus vanished! While Fuxi and Shennong's original bodies still exist!
The predecessor of the Northern Dark Tortoise was the God of Destiny!
Isn't there a famous rhyme about this?
Time reigns supreme, space is king, destiny is unstoppable, cause and effect are emperor, destruction is immeasurable, creation is unparalleled, power is paramount, yin and yang are equally supreme, the world is supreme, and reincarnation controls the field.
Ahem, I copied this from the internet, but that's roughly the gist of it.
Destiny is the third-ranked Chaos Demon God, and its danger level even surpasses that of the top two! Destiny's origin is contained within the Heavenly Dao, which is why the Heavenly Dao can control the trajectory of everything within the world!
Since the creation of heaven and earth, the Northern Sea Divine Turtle has been sleeping most of the time. It dares not move, because if it does, the continent in the north of the prehistoric world will be doomed!
Even though it contains a large part of the Heavenly Dao's origin, the Heavenly Dao has no intention of showing mercy to the Northern Darkness Divine Turtle. Its true form is too dangerous! It must be dealt with!
This is why Gonggong was able to angrily strike Buzhou Mountain and actually break it! To put it bluntly, it was all to find an excuse to get rid of the dangerous reincarnation of the Northern Sea Divine Turtle. The Northern Sea Divine Turtle was also unwilling to spend its whole life as an underground pillar in the northern part of the prehistoric continent, so it went with the flow and reincarnated. Not only did it take the four limbs to become the pillar of heaven and earth, thus accumulating merit, it also gained the position of one of the Three Sovereigns, and now it even controls the human realm.
Yes, humanity is in Li Yunfei's hands!
In the Heavenly Dao, Honggou and Rahu are equally matched.
Most of the tunnels were in the hands of Houtu Niangniang, but Zhen Yuanzi also had some authority over them.
Xuanyuan Shi had almost complete control over human affairs! Even if all the other emperors and the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were combined, their influence would not be as great as his!
...This is what Li Yunfei meant when he said he was slightly inferior to Fuxi and Shennong.
Fuxi and Shennong said, "Muyang, don't listen to your dad's nonsense! What do you mean 'a little worse than us'? He's the real schemer! He seems to have done nothing, but in the end, he got the most benefits! And he had it the easiest!"
This is fate! Terrifying indeed! Good fortune smiles upon me! My destiny is in my hands!
