Eat, eat, eat in the primordial world

Ever since the Celestial Fox arrived, Jiang Yuan had been pondering a question: If the Celestial Fox was so extraordinary, why was its name not passed down through generations?

At first, Jiang Yuan guessed that she was Daji, since in later generations, Daji was the only nine-tailed fox associated with the goddess Nuwa.

But he quickly dismissed the idea. His cultivation levels were mismatched; Daji was too weak, far inferior to the Celestial Fox. Furthermore, whether Daji was related to the Goddess Nuwa was still uncertain.

Nuwa had plenty of ways to take revenge on the Shang Dynasty; there was no reason or need for her to send a woman to ruin the Shang Dynasty.

If Tianhu isn't Daji, then who is she? Jiang Yuan racked his brains but couldn't guess. Finally, he connected it to Yan Tian's current situation and suddenly it dawned on him.

The reason why she wasn't known as the Celestial Fox in later generations is perhaps because she had already perished, dying in the internal strife of the Flame Heaven Demon Clan.

Referring to the division of Jin into three states during the Spring and Autumn Period, the state of Jin was actually controlled by four major families: Zhi, Zhao, Han, and Wei.

Among them, the Zhi family was the most powerful, but when the state of Jin was divided later, the Zhi family was no longer present. The reason was that it was too powerful and was destroyed by the other three families working together.

The Heavenly Fox's situation was likely similar. Because it was too powerful, it was targeted by others, leading to its premature demise.

If Jiang Yuan could see this, then with Tianhu's cultivation level, she certainly could too. This explains why she was so eager to put Jiang Yuan in power, because it truly concerned her life and future.

"you……"

After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, Tianhu was not annoyed that his little secret had been exposed. Instead, he looked incredulous, as if he had seen a ghost.

Finally, after a long pause, she came to her senses and said helplessly, "What are you thinking? Nuwa has given me a second life, how could I possibly scheme against you?"

"Fine, I can't reason with you. I'll go find Xi Huang and have him testify for me, okay?"

Tianhu was speechless and thought that Jiang Yuan had paranoia and felt that everyone he met was trying to harm him.

"Could it be that I've misunderstood her?"

Seeing that Tianhu had left immediately after speaking and was really going to ask to see Xi Huang, Jiang Yuan was stunned. Was he really that confident? Could it really be a misunderstanding?

On the other side, after listening to Tianhu's report, Xi Huang also fell silent.

"Di Yuan is different from us. He was born as a creature born later in life and was weak from birth. In order to survive, he had to assume the worst about strangers, especially unknown goodwill."

"Therefore, he inevitably has a lot on his mind, to the point that he seems a bit too cautious. But this is not a bad thing, but rather a good thing. In a prehistoric world full of dangers, only those who are cautious enough like him can survive to the end."

"It is people as pure as you who, despite your profound cultivation, are easily schemed against, thus falling into a deadly predicament and missing out on the Great Dao."

After a long while, Xi Huang finally sighed. His silence earlier was due to his deduction of the truth of what Jiang Yuan had said. He finally realized that it was a lie that Tianhu was using Jiang Yuan, but his impending death was real.

Within the Flame Heaven Demon Clan, a consensus has indeed been reached: should internal strife break out, the strongest Heavenly Fox must be eliminated immediately.

It must be said that Jiang Yuan's analysis was quite reasonable. Apart from misjudging the Heavenly Fox, everything else was correct.

"Oh, this!"

Upon hearing this, Tianhu was completely stunned, her face filled with bewilderment. She was simply pure of heart, not truly stupid; how could she not understand the meaning behind Xi Huang's words?

Those fellow Daoists whom she regarded as relatives and friends all harbored murderous intentions towards her in order to obtain the position of God.

She found it hard to accept this fact because she believed she had done nothing to wrong the Flame Heaven Demon Clan, so how could they do this?

"You're not suited to stay in Heaven. You should have left with Nuwa back then. But it's too late now."

"The Flaming Heaven Demon Clan is already filled with murderous intent. If you stay there, something bad will happen to you sooner or later. You'd be better off staying by Di Yuan's side to protect him. He's intelligent, and you're powerful; you complement each other perfectly."

"When he has completed his cultivation and is qualified to become the Lord of Yantian, it will not be too late for you to return to Yantian with him."

After thinking for a moment, Xi Huang gave his instructions. Tianhu was, after all, his sister's person. It was one thing if he didn't know she was in danger, but now that he did, he had to protect her no matter what.

"Yes……"

Tianhu was quite helpless. What do you mean Jiang Yuan has brains? She has strength. Are you trying to say she has no brains?

He wanted to argue, but when he thought about how he was in deep trouble without realizing it and needed others to remind him, he couldn't bring himself to say anything and could only nod in agreement.

So what if I'm stupid? At least I can save my life.

……

"you……"

After learning from Xi Huang that Tianhu truly had no ill intentions, Jiang Yuan looked at her, hesitant to speak.

It's really not his fault; it's just that he lacked experience and never imagined that such pure beings as the Heavenly Fox existed in the primordial world.

A person of utmost purity has a pure mind and few thoughts; they are practically born to cultivate the Tao, hence their cultivation speed is extremely fast, and breaking through realms is as simple as eating and drinking.

Of course, its drawbacks are also obvious: it is easy to be schemed against and robbed for no reason.

"It seems you're not well-liked among the demon race; you must have offended quite a few people."

Thinking about Tianhu again now, Jiang Yuan felt that the person who wanted to harm her might not be from the Yantian Demon Clan, but more likely from outside the world.

After all, Xi Huang's reaction was wrong; instead of reprimanding the Yan Tian demon race, he protected the Tian Hu.

If the Flaming Demon Clan really has such intentions, we should just tell them to put aside their unnecessary thoughts. Why bother protecting the Heavenly Fox?

This situation can only mean that Tianhu's crisis did not originate from Yantian, but from elsewhere. Someone wanted to take advantage of the internal turmoil in Yantian to secretly eliminate her.

"It must be Heart Moon Fox!"

Reminded by Jiang Yuan, Tianhu was initially surprised, but quickly realized what was going on and immediately identified the person behind the scenes.

Heart Moon Fox, one of the Zhou Tian Demon Gods!

Both women were born into the fox clan and should have been as close as sisters. However, due to the struggle for the fox clan's destiny, they turned against each other and fought fiercely.

The fox clan is not a major clan, and its fortune is limited, allowing it to support only one quasi-saint. However, both the Heavenly Fox and the Heart Moon Fox possess the potential to become quasi-saints.

At this point, the fox clan had to make a choice and select one of them to support. The two were equally talented, but beyond that, the Celestial Fox was favored by the goddess Nuwa.

The outcome was predictable: the fox clan chose to support the Heavenly Fox, and the Heart Moon Fox harbored resentment, constantly seeking revenge. Nuwa's departure finally gave her her chance.

"very good!"

"I'll lend you the Myriad Star Pot; find a chance to kill her."

After hearing about the feud between the two, Jiang Yuan was overjoyed. He came to the demon race with the intention of hunting down the Zhou Tian Demon God, but although he had the will, he lacked the corresponding strength and could only give up helplessly.

But now that the Celestial Fox is helping, things are different. He doesn't have the strength to hunt down the Zhou Tian Demon Gods, but the Celestial Fox does.
