The Primordial Era: The Mythical Path Beginning with the Jie Sect

Chapter 40 Asking the Saint, A Preordained Calamity

Nuwa's actions also demonstrate that she is still the same Nuwa, the queen of the demon race and the holy mother of the human race, not merely a high and mighty saint. If something were to happen to them, Nuwa would not abandon the demon race.

"Since the Heavenly Emperor has already consulted the Dao Ancestor, why did he come to Nuwa's Palace?"

Nuwa's expression was very unpleasant. She was the Queen of the Demon Clan and also the Holy Mother of the Human Clan. Now that the Demon Clan was about to slaughter the Human Clan, it would be strange if she were in a good mood.

Nuwa even considered taking the entire human race into the Mountain and River Map, but as soon as the idea arose, a warning came from the Heavenly Dao: this was a calamity that the human race was bound to face, a destiny ordained by the Heavenly Dao that could not be changed, and that even sages were not allowed to interfere.

Nuwa's face paled. Was she being forbidden from intervening? If the demon race only wanted to take her essence blood, she could certainly minimize the damage to the human race's calamity by using the Dao of Creation.

But if we restrict her actions, the problem will be much bigger. Then the calamity for humanity won't just be limited to the demon race; it might even affect the witch race as well. After all, such a calamity can't be kept secret, and the witch race can't just sit idly by and watch the demon race forge weapons to counter them. So there are only two possibilities.

The first option is to protect the human race against the demon race and start the war between the lich and the demon race ahead of schedule. However, the date set by the Dao Ancestor has not yet arrived, and starting it ahead of schedule might anger the Dao Ancestor, so this is definitely impossible.

The Wu tribe lacks a primordial spirit simply because of the turbid energy of the earth. Furthermore, due to their cultivation practices, they are prone to impulsiveness and anger, but they are not without brains.

If they were truly brainless, the Wu tribe wouldn't have developed to its current state.

That leaves only the second option: the witch clan will also join the slaughter to minimize the number of demons that can obtain the spoils.

Nuwa felt that the Wu tribe would definitely do this. In that case, the newly born human race would face the hunt of the two strongest races in the prehistoric world. She could imagine how miserable the human race would be.

"Your Majesty, Dijun has come here for two reasons: first, to inform Your Majesty, and second, to remind Your Majesty that Your Majesty is not only the Holy Mother of the Human Race, but also the Nuwa of the Demon Race!"

Upon hearing this, Nuwa was furious. The chaotic energy outside Nuwa Palace was stirred up into chaos, and the atmosphere inside Nuwa Palace became extremely oppressive.

But when Nuwa saw the look in Dijun's eyes, her anger dissipated. For in the eyes of Dijun, the ruler of the demon race, the supreme Heavenly Emperor, who was always incomparably majestic, arrogant, and confident, she saw a pleading expression.

Di Jun wasn't blaming her, but genuinely reminding her not to forget her identity as a demon, or rather, entrusting her with the care of his orphan. This left Nuwa somewhat at a loss.

In the last war between the Lich and the Demons, although the Demon race lost, Nuwa didn't care because as long as she was alive, the Demon race wouldn't perish. Therefore, she didn't take the next war between the Lich and the Demons seriously. Even if Di Jun and his group lost again, she could protect them, at most relinquishing the Primordial World so they could come to Chaos to focus on cultivation. But this great calamity of the Human Race has restricted her. What about the war between the Lich and the Demons? Will it similarly restrict her actions? Things have suddenly slipped out of her control.

"Alas! Dijun, why must you do this?"

Nuwa sighed and looked at Di Jun with a complicated expression.

"Your Majesty, Dijun has no choice but to do this, both for his own sake and for the sake of the demon race. Besides, even if Dijun can stop, those brutes might not allow it...!"

Di Jun gave a wry smile and did not reveal her name. He simply pointed upwards, believing that Nuwa would understand. Nuwa was the only one he could trust, and only she had the ability to do so.

Nuwa's pupils contracted, and she fell silent, seemingly lost in thought.

Di Jun didn't mind and continued speaking.

"Your Majesty, may I borrow the Map of Mountains and Rivers?"

Nuwa did not hesitate and handed the Map of Mountains and Rivers to Dijun. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but hesitated again and again and did not say anything.

"Your Majesty, Emperor Jun will take his leave now."

Di Jun accepted the Map of Mountains and Rivers and then bid farewell to Nuwa.

Nuwa sighed and waved her hand.

Di Jun and Tai Yi bid farewell to Nuwa and flew out of Nuwa's Palace towards the primordial world. "Big brother, what were you and Goddess Nuwa talking about? I didn't understand."

Taiyi was completely confused. He understood the beginning, but the end was totally incomprehensible to him.

Di Jun looked at Tai Yi with a complicated expression. As his younger brother, Tai Yi did not want to hide it from him, but the matter was too shocking and involved too many people, so he dared not speak casually.

Moreover, knowing more is not necessarily a good thing, especially for a cultivator like Taiyi who cultivates an invincible state of mind.

"It's nothing, we were just discussing the path the demon race should take."

Let's return to Heaven, prepare some gifts, and head to Shouyang Mountain to pay a visit to the Supreme Sage.

Di Jun didn't say it out loud, but just made up an excuse to brush it off.

"Ah."

Taiyi didn't think much of it. After all, he rarely interfered in the affairs of the demon race. It was usually handled by Dijun, Fuxi and others. He usually just fought for the demon race as a top combatant.

The two returned to Heaven, prepared some gifts, and then headed to Shouyang Mountain.

After meeting the Supreme Sage at Shouyang Mountain, he recounted the events and waited quietly.

"Humanity must not be destroyed!"

After pondering for a while, the Supreme Sage gave his reply.

Upon hearing this, Di Jun and Tai Yi bid farewell to Tai Shang, left Shouyang Mountain, returned to the Heavenly Court, and summoned the high-ranking members of the demon race to prepare to collect human blood essence and refine a weapon to counter the witch race.

After Emperor and Taiyi returned to the Heavenly Court, they immediately summoned Emperor Xi, Fuxi, Demon Master Kunpeng, and the Ten Great Demon Saints.

"Your Majesty, what is the purpose of summoning us here?"

The one asking the question was Bai Ze, the leader of the Ten Great Demon Saints. He exuded a peaceful and wise aura, knew everything from astronomy to geography, and could predict the past and future. He was the strategist of the demon race and Di Jun's right-hand man.

Di Jun directly told the high-ranking members of the demon race about how human blood essence could restrain the physical body of the witch race, his plan to massacre humans, collect human blood essence, and forge the Witch-Slaying Sword.

"I never expected that the weak human race could play such a role. It seems that the heavens are truly blessing the demon race!"

"Perhaps the goddess Nuwa created the human race to help us defeat the witch tribe, but we just haven't thought about it that way."

"Once we defeat the Witch Clan, our Demon Clan will be the sole overlord of the world."

……

Upon hearing the news of the human race's surprise that it could restrain the physical bodies of the witch race, these demon saints were extremely excited. In their eyes, the human race was merely food for the flesh; who would care about the life or death of their food?
Of course, there are exceptions, namely Bai Ze and Fu Xi. Bai Ze could see the sages behind the human race, while Fu Xi could see that the human race was created by his sister Nuwa.

"Your Majesty, have you consulted the Empress's opinion? And the Supreme Sage's opinion? After all, the Empress is the Holy Mother of the Human Race, and the Supreme Sage is the leader of the Human Religion. Such matters should be discussed with the opinions of the two sages."

Bai Ze asked in a gentle tone.
