Primordial Era: From Primordial Human Race to Grand Luo Immortal

Chapter 79, Section 78: The Five-Colored Stones Give Birth to a New Life; Nuwa Desires Reincarnation
The process of collecting the calamity energy was quick. Ji Yuan glanced again at the ruined demon race's heavenly court and the desolate stars. If he could restore their glory, it would be a great merit.

However, he cannot do it yet. To do this requires powerful cultivation and the blessing of the Heavenly Dao. He can mobilize the blessing of the Heavenly Dao, but his cultivation level is not yet at that level.

However, repairing the Heavenly Realm is something Haotian must do, and he might be able to accumulate some merit at that time.

Playing with the Qiankun Cauldron, Ji Yuan turned his gaze to the Primordial World. At this time, the Primordial World had been divided into four continents, and the Sage had taken action to re-condense it, making it completely stable.

These four continents are the later Eastern Continent, Southern Continent, Northern Continent, and Western Continent, but they have not yet been named.

Then he turned his gaze to the Eastern Continent and, following the mysterious path, saw a five-colored stone.

"Indeed, it's still here."

This five-colored stone is the very one that gave birth to Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, in later generations.

When Ji Yuan was preparing to mend the sky, he not only searched for five-colored stones among the Five Sacred Mountains, but also deduced the origins of many places. The five-colored stone on Flower Fruit Mountain was extremely rich in the five elements, making it the best among all the five-colored stones.

He was about to take it away, but then stopped.

As far as he knew, Sun Wukong was born from the five-colored stones left over from mending the sky, which absorbed the spiritual energy of the sun and moon.

But how could such a thing happen with the power of a sage? And why is it that only the five-colored stones of Flower Fruit Mountain gave birth to life, while the other five-colored stones did not?

He then made a guess: the original destiny of the five-colored stone that gave birth to Sun Wukong was to mend the sky, but perhaps Nuwa sensed something was different and therefore did not use that five-colored stone to mend the sky.

It was this mysterious shift in fate, this imperceptible change in cause and effect, that gave birth to Sun Wukong. It was for this reason that Sun Wukong was born outside the Three Realms and outside the Five Elements.

Now, looking at the five-colored stone again, it is indeed different from before; it now has a faint life force.

"That way we can have more plans."

Ji Yuan smiled lightly and arrived at Flower Fruit Mountain in a flash.

A cave was carved out at a scenic waterfall, and a stone cushion was carved out, with two objects placed underneath.

One is the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts," and the other is the supernatural power "Thousand Transformations" that Ji Yuan himself comprehended.

"Ji Yuan, come to the Nuwa Palace."

As Ji Yuan was admiring his masterpiece, a cold and emotionless female voice suddenly appeared in his mind—it was Nuwa.

"Why is Your Majesty calling me now?"

Ji Yuan muttered to himself and hurriedly flew towards the Nuwa Palace, extremely worried about the Empress's condition.

He was already at the mid-stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, and with Nuwa's guidance, his journey to Nuwa Palace was naturally extremely fast.

At this moment, Nuwa sat with her eyes closed on the futon bestowed upon her by the Dao Ancestor, without a trace of desire.

When Ji Yuan entered the palace, Nuwa suddenly opened her eyes and stared intently at him.

Ji Yuan was immediately startled and quickly bowed respectfully:
"Greetings, Holy Mother."

For a long time, Nuwa remained silent, staring at Ji Yuan without any emotion.

"Miss?"

Ji Yuan called out softly.

Unsuccessful.

Suddenly, on a whim, he took the Mountain and River Map, the Red Embroidered Ball, and the Qiankun Cauldron from his spiritual platform and presented them to Nuwa with both hands.

When Nuwa saw the red embroidered ball, her eyes suddenly changed slightly, and she spoke coldly:
"Since the Dao Ancestor hasn't asked you to return the Qiankun Cauldron, then these are all yours. Just keep them."

"Thank you, ma'am."

Ji Yuan bowed respectfully once again.

"It is indeed related to the red embroidered ball and the seven emotions and six desires."

He thought to himself.

Nuwa beckoned to Ji Yuan, gesturing for him to sit down beside her.

Ji Yuan obediently sat down.

Nuwa then reached out and touched his head, a rare smile appearing on her face.

Ji Yuan looked up at Nuwa and was surprised to detect a hint of maternal instinct in her cold eyes.

What exactly happened to the Holy Mother?

Ji Yuan harbored suspicions but could not find a solution.

After a long while, Nuwa waved her hand, and countless streams of light appeared.

Lotus Lantern, Creation Whip, Nine Heavens Breath Soil, Chaos Yin Yang Five Spirit Pearls, Limitless Umbrella, Heaven-Stabilizing Hairpin...

Dozens of innate spiritual treasures landed before Ji Yuan's eyes.

"Mother, this..."

Ji Yuan didn't understand what was going to happen.

"These are all yours."

Nuwa's tone remained icy. "Huh?"

Ji Yuan was completely dumbfounded this time. It felt like the Holy Mother was giving her final instructions.

"Oh!"

Nuwa seemed to have guessed what Ji Yuan was thinking, and tapped him on the head with a finger.

Although it didn't hurt, Ji Yuan still covered his head.

Nuwa's tone softened considerably, a rare occurrence.

"I need you to spare a wisp of your thought to take over my body when necessary."

"?"

Ji Yuan looked at Nuwa with a puzzled expression.

"You cannot know the reasons for this yet. My true spirit will undergo reincarnation and be reborn as a human. This matter can only be known to you."

Nuwa explained slowly.

"This……"

To be honest, Ji Yuan didn't understand what had happened to Nuwa. She no longer had the seven emotions and six desires, and now she was going through a cycle of reincarnation to be reborn as a human.

"Just do as I say."

Nuwa spoke again.

"it is good."

Ji Yuan didn't care about anything else. Since the Holy Mother required it, he would do as she asked. He had the quality of "one", so he wouldn't be seen as Nuwa unless he was fighting with magic.

A thought descended and transformed into a miniature version of Ji Yuan, landing in Nuwa's hand.

Nuwa absorbed that thought into her spiritual platform and spoke again:

"When the time comes, your thoughts will naturally be triggered."

He then handed over all the magical treasures and divine objects to Ji Yuan, and took out another item.

Ji Yuan looked closely and realized it was the true spirit of Fuxi.

"Let my brother be reincarnated as a human as well, let fate decide."

Nuwa then cast an unknown spell on Fuxi's spirit.

"Remember what I'm about to say."

Nuwa's expression was extremely serious.

Ji Yuan sat up straight and listened attentively.

"Everything has two sides, yin and yang, and the seven emotions and six desires are the root of chaos."

After Nuwa finished speaking, she closed her eyes. A stream of light appeared before Ji Yuan's eyes and then disappeared.

Is this the true spirit entering the cycle of reincarnation?

Ji Yuan's power in the Netherworld was almost greater than that of Houtu, yet he still did not sense anything unusual.

"Is this the same cycle of reincarnation as I understand it?"

Ji Yuan sat quietly beside Nuwa's sacred body, pondering. He couldn't understand Nuwa's actions at all this time.

But he speculated that the answer might lie in that last piece of advice.

"The two sides of yin and yang..."

"The seven emotions and six desires are the root of chaos..."

Ji Yuan couldn't help but think of the Dao Ancestor.

"Could it be that there are two different Dao Ancestors?"

"Isn't the only way to prove the Dao? There shouldn't be two Dao Ancestors, right?"

"Or did the matter of merging with the Dao cause the Dao Ancestor to suffer a personality split?"

Ji Yuan made numerous conjectures, but they remained nothing more than conjectures.

As for the seven emotions and six desires, he did have some specific guesses.

This is reminiscent of the ability of the Marriage Path to awaken the seven emotions and six desires, as well as the three thousand red threads of marriage that disappeared from the red embroidered ball and the silk ribbons representing the seven emotions and six desires.

Ji Yuan guessed that the strange changes in the world he had sensed before might be related to the seven emotions and six desires.

"Forget it, let's not think about that too much for now. It's time to start working on the map."

Having gone through so many changes, it's time to take a look at the Records of Mythical Beasts from the Mountains and Seas.
