Chapter 200 Earthly Sovereign Nuwa
"Boom!!"

With a loud crash, the stone door was easily pushed open by Zhang Xiaofan.

But what he saw next made Zhang Xiaofan freeze in place, and his face even twitched involuntarily.

Suddenly, a bright light appeared inside the stone gate. When Zhang Xiaofan looked at it, he saw a picture of an ancient mountain overlooking the water.

Zhang Xiaofan recognized the appearance of that ancient immortal mountain; it was none other than the ancient Yao Mountain.

In the picture, a sycamore tree is swaying in the breeze, its leaves rustling with a unique rhythm.

Soon, a barefoot, rugged man arrived in the Yao Mountains. Although the man was rugged, he loved music, so he took a paulownia tree and made a zither, which he named the Phoenix Zither.

Later, Fenglaiqin became spiritually intelligent, and the man loved it very much, naming it Prince Changqin.

Zhang Xiaofan stared blankly at the ever-changing scene, two lines of clear tears sliding down his face. He was unsteady on his feet, his body swaying as if he would fall down at any moment.

Just then, a pair of delicate hands suddenly reached out and supported Zhang Xiaofan. However, Zhang Xiaofan did not notice and just stared blankly at the scene in front of him.

Looking at the immortal in the picture who stared in astonishment at the black Yinglong before him, looking at the immortal soul who had been banished to the mortal realm but still lingered on Yaoshan Mountain...

Zhang Xiaofan felt a surge of anger building up in his chest, and a murderous aura gradually rising from his body.

"What did I do wrong? What did I do wrong?"

The roar of anger in my heart kept echoing in my mind.

In the midst of endless torment, the other half of his immortal soul repeatedly questioned himself, only to finally realize that he had done nothing wrong.

He was ordered to capture the black dragon, but to his surprise, the black dragon turned out to be an old friend. In his shock, he lost his composure and caused the music to go out of control. Was this his fault?
Which musician in the world can maintain perfect musicality even when their mind is distracted?
The zither is the sound of the heart; it should be played with a calm mind and with heartfelt understanding.

But why must I suffer such torment?

If I did nothing wrong, then who is at fault? Who is it?

Just then, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly felt a warm touch on his lips. He opened his eyes and saw Lu Xueqi's beautiful face.

"Xiaofan!"

Lu Xueqi didn't say much, but whispered a word, which was more powerful than a thousand words.

Zhang Xiaofan slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and looked at the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury again, saying in a deep voice.

"Zhang Xiaofan, pay homage to the Earthly Emperor!"

Lu Xueqi was startled, but before she could react, the scene changed, and a stunningly beautiful face appeared.

Zhang Xiaofan was also taken aback when he looked at the woman's face. She was stunningly beautiful. She had no seductive charm whatsoever, but just standing there was enough to bewitch everyone.

Beneath that stunningly beautiful face lies a loving and compassionate aura that evokes a sense of warmth, as if one were facing the gentlest and most loving mother.

"So, you've finally come to your senses?"

The woman in the picture actually opened her mouth and spoke softly, with a faint smile in her eyes as she spoke.

Zhang Xiaofan took a deep breath, suppressing his shock, and bowed deeply to the beautiful woman, expressing his gratitude.

"Zhang Xiaofan thanks Goddess Nuwa for creating him again!"

"I gave you life back then, and you were never this grateful to me. It seems you truly understand now!" Nuwa smiled gently, but Zhang Xiaofan remained silent.

The former Prince Changqin was just an immortal who loved playing the zither. He didn't even know why he was alive, nor did he understand human emotions. He simply played the zither by the waters of Yaoshan every day.

Those melodies were like the sound of the wind and the rustling of leaves in the past. For him, his life was filled with various sounds every day, yet he never understood what life truly meant.

It was the same water snake he had seen by the waters of Yaoshan in the past. Hearing its boastful words, the immortal was only curious about why the other party was doing this.

At that time, he had no idea what pursuit or belief meant.

"Today's Zhang Xiaofan is not the same as the Crown Prince Changqin of the past!"

Zhang Xiaofan responded in a deep voice, and Nuwa smiled faintly upon hearing this, then said in a seemingly teasing tone.

"It seems that love in the human world is indeed magical. Even the immortal who used to be so devoted to playing the zither has changed."

"Goddess Nuwa is joking!"

Zhang Xiaofan was also taken aback for a moment, then replied softly, but he was a little puzzled as to why Nuwa would talk to him about these things.

But the next moment, Nuwa glared at Zhang Xiaofan and said with a hint of anger.

"Hmph, is that so? Then why have you been at odds with my descendants for countless lifetimes, and even more so now..."

After saying a few words, Nuwa suddenly fell silent, though her expression seemed somewhat strange.

Zhang Xiaofan didn't notice anything amiss, but his expression was rather awkward. He still explained softly.

"Goddess Nuwa, a descendant of Youdu, shouldn't you be considered one of your descendants?"

"Ok?"

Nuwa, who was initially unsure how to change the subject, gave a soft "hmm" upon hearing this, her eyes turning cold as she looked at Zhang Xiaofan, who immediately became serious in fright.

After all, Nuwa was the one who gave him his soul and real life. Not to mention, Nuwa was the true Earth Sovereign, the Mother of the Earth, and the mother of humankind. Now that he was a human, how could he dare to defy Nuwa?

Seeing that Zhang Xiaofan had calmed down, Nuwa's expression softened a bit, and she said softly.

"It seems you have some questions?"

"That's right. I want to know if it was the goddess Nuwa who saved me back then, after all, at that time..."

Zhang Xiaofan spoke softly, but stopped halfway through. Nuwa nodded gently upon hearing this.

"Indeed, you are a celestial being after all. How could you so easily vanish into nothingness?"

Nuwa responded softly, looking at Zhang Xiaofan in front of her, and then spoke, her voice carrying a hint of anger.

"Ha, he flaunts his imperial power all day long, yet he ignores the suffering of humanity. How can I stand idly by?"

Nuwa disapproved of the Heavenly Emperor's actions, but among the Three Sovereigns, the Heavenly Emperor was the most powerful, and the Human Sovereign Shennong had also disappeared. Nuwa was helpless and could only watch the Heavenly Emperor grow stronger.

But this does not mean that Nuwa could simply let things go unchecked. As the Earthly Sovereign, she was born of heaven and earth and was the mother of humankind. She could not stand idly by and watch the Heavenly Emperor act recklessly.

Moreover, the reason why the former Crown Prince Changqin faced such severe punishment from the Heavenly Emperor was simply to demonstrate his power. It can be said that he did not give Nuwa any face at all. How could Nuwa not be angry?
