Primordial Era: From Primordial Human Race to Grand Luo Immortal

Chapter 116, Section 115: The Seven Fairy Maidens, Heavenly Rules and Commandments
The Chaos Pearl is a supreme treasure of chaos. In the past, when the great god Pangu created the world, the Chaos Pearl escaped the great calamity of creation and wandered outside of time and space. Unexpectedly, it ended up in the hands of the Dao Ancestor.

Gently stroking the Chaos Pearl in his hand, Ji Yuan asked in confusion:

"Senior Uncle, do you know why the Dao Ancestor entrusted such a supreme treasure to me?"

Lao Tzu shook his head, his eyes also filled with doubt:

"I don't know either. Perhaps it was to help you comprehend the Great Dao of Chaos. I can't fathom his thoughts either."

After saying this, Laozi had a thought, and the two returned to the mortal world.

"Don't think too much. The Dao Ancestor told you not to leave the Primordial World, so don't go out. Just focus on comprehending the Great Dao Laws within the Chaos Pearl. Even if the sky falls, we will still be here. Just focus on your cultivation."

Lao Tzu stroked his beard and chuckled.

"Go, do what you're supposed to do."

"Then I'll take my leave."

Ji Yuan bowed respectfully and withdrew from the Tushita Palace.

Sensing Ji Yuan's departure, Laozi sighed softly:
"Master, oh Master, which one is the real you?"

After leaving the Tushita Palace, Ji Yuan couldn't wait to sense the Chaos Pearl.

Within it lay a chaotic and indistinct world, a boundless realm of chaos. It was said that if one could perform the act of creating heaven and earth within the Chaos Pearl, one could use the Chaos Pearl as a vessel to achieve an existence similar to a Heavenly Saint, and be free from the constraints of the Heavenly Dao.

But in Ji Yuan's view, using the Chaos Pearl to achieve sainthood was actually a waste of its potential.

Putting aside his own ability to unleash the power of a sage, the Chaos Pearl can greatly enhance the integrity of the nascent Hongmeng Great World within his body. Since he has embarked on this path, he naturally cannot abandon the near for the far.

If we're going to do something, let's do something big! What's so special about creating a chaotic world? Let's create the Primordial World!
In Ji Yuan's view, the most important thing about the Chaos Pearl is its auxiliary ability, such as avoiding calamities, escaping disasters, and evolving supernatural powers.

The Chaos Pearl is absolutely the best of the best for cultivating power.

Most importantly, it contains the supreme Dao—chaos.

Chaos contains everything; mastering this great principle allows one to perfectly integrate conflicting abilities into one's being.

As the Chaos Pearl was thrown into the nascent Hongmeng Great World within his body, various insights surged into his mind; this was the wonder of the Dao of the World.

All things that enter this realm can comprehend its essence and perceive its profound principles.

But only Ji Yuan could do this. The nascent form of the Primordial World was of extremely high quality, capable of containing even the most precious treasures of chaos.

If it were any other cultivation path, it simply wouldn't fit.

Before long, they arrived outside the Lingxiao Palace, not knowing why Haotian wanted to see them.

"Huh? Where's Venus?"

Ji Yuan was puzzled, as Venus was usually guarding outside the Lingxiao Palace, but he was not here today.

Upon entering the Lingxiao Palace, Ji Yuan immediately understood why Venus was no longer there.

The clear, chattering voices of children filled the air.

Taibai and Haotian were each carrying two little girls, with another girl riding on their shoulders. An unfamiliar female immortal was also holding a little girl and feeding her delicacies.

"So it turns out they gave birth to seven fairy maidens."

Ji Yuan suddenly realized, "Does this mean I have to take care of the child? I'm going to run away then. I'm really not good at taking care of children."

Just as he was about to run away, Haotian spotted him and hurriedly shouted:
"Brother Ji Yuan, you've finally arrived! Come in, let me introduce you."

Helpless, Ji Yuan could only stop and force a smile.

Haotian stepped forward, his smile tinged with helplessness:

"Humans reincarnate a thousand times, and each time they are husband and wife with Yaochi, but in order not to accumulate too much karma, they cannot have children in the cycle of reincarnation." "But I never expected this." Haotian paused.

"But we never expected that after we returned, we couldn't control our feelings and conceived these seven children."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan immediately realized that the seed of reproduction he had given to Yaochi had worked; otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy for the two innate beings to conceive offspring.

"Isn't this a good thing? Why are you looking so gloomy?"

Ji Yuan joked, and then eight streams of light appeared in his hand. In the meantime, he had used the Qiankun Cauldron to forge eight bracelet-shaped treasures as a gift for meeting.

“Here, these rare treasures are my gift to my uncle.”

With a wave of his hand, the extraordinary treasure fell into Haotian's hands.

Haotian immediately beamed with joy and said to the children:

"Hurry up and thank your Uncle Ji Yuan."

"Thank you, Uncle x7".

The children's voices were so innocent and adorable.

Then Haotian looked at the female immortal standing to the side and said:

"Yunhua, thank you quickly..."

Haotian paused for a moment. His younger sister was born of the human race, and he and Ji Yuan addressed each other as brothers. But Ji Yuan was the ancestor of humanity, so how should he address him?

"This is my younger sister from my last reincarnation, named Yunhua. How should I address you?"

Haotian handed the question over to Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan smiled slightly and said softly:
"Just call me Brother Yuan, don't worry about it."

Yunhua paused for a moment, then nodded and said crisply:
"Thank you, Brother Yuan."

In fact, Yunhua is still in a daze. She was living a carefree life among humans when suddenly her brother said that she was the Heavenly Emperor. She went to heaven in a daze and became a high and mighty immortal.

Today is even more bizarre. The person who is calling me "brother" is actually the legendary Ancestor of Humanity. The appearance of the Ancestor of Humanity is known throughout the human race, and the deeds of the human race have been passed down. I don't know how many generations I am separated from the Ancestor of Humanity, yet I can call him "brother." It is truly strange.

Ji Yuan glanced at Yun Hua, who was quiet and dignified. He never imagined that she would one day violate the heavenly rules and descend to the mortal realm to have a child, even though such heavenly rules do not exist yet.

Haotian handed the child in his arms and around his neck to Taibai Jinxing and Yunhua, and then pulled Ji Yuan aside.

He said, "Brother, do you think the Heavenly Court should establish some kind of rule to restrict marriages between immortals and gods?"

"limit?"

Ji Yuan stroked his chin; it seemed Haotian had already noticed something amiss.

As the saying goes, wherever there are people, there is a world of its own, and even immortals and gods are no exception; they too have emotions and desires, and selfish motives.

Having offspring naturally leads one to want them to have a place in the Heavenly Court; having a partner, one also wants to find a good future for them. And being soft-hearted, Haotian rarely refuses.

This has led to a growing tendency for factions to form within the Heavenly Court system. Some have even gone so far as to trade away minor divine positions within the Heavenly Court, pretending to be Daoist partners to demand divine positions from Haotian.

After all, the Heavenly Court is a highly coveted place these days, with a rigorous system, orderly promotions, and everything based on merit. Even minor officials can climb the ranks.

Haotian was very annoyed by this.

In fact, this change is also closely related to Ji Yuan, whose incarnation as the God of Fertility is tirelessly helping people reproduce and accumulate good karma.

So Ji Yuan said, "As the saying goes, it's better to guide than to block. Directly establishing heavenly rules is too strict. We should be more humane and give them a choice."

"Let me tell you."
