Primordial Era: When a Good Guy Awakens a Morally Unethical System

No matter how young they were, they had been taught by their mother and knew what karmic debts and cause and effect were.

"Waaaaah~ I, I don't want to play anymore, I want to go home..." Xiao Jiu was the first to break down in tears.

But he was a three-legged golden crow, and even if he shed tears, they would turn into enormous fireballs when they fell to the ground.

"Don't cry, don't cry!" Xiao Wu also sobbed, but he tried his best to stop his tears and comforted Xiao Jiu.

The little golden crows finally understood why their father and mother had imprisoned them in Tang Valley, but it was too late; the mistake had already been made.

Inside the Wuzhuang Temple, Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi looked at the little golden crows in the water mirror. Zhenyuanzi could tell what was on Hongyun's mind just by looking at her expression.

"Do you prefer the smart and sensible one, or the pitiful little one who's cute when she cries?" Zhen Yuanzi could see the appreciation and affection in Hongyun's eyes, something that Kong Xuan hadn't shown when he hatched.

Hongyun smiled and said, "Even if it wasn't intentional, they are still deeply sinful. Why would I like them?"

"When will you be able to hide anything from me?" Zhen Yuanzi smiled confidently.

Hongyun stopped being stubborn. If he really thought the little golden crows deserved to die, he wouldn't have intervened to save Xiao Er, who had gone to Heaven to ask for help.

"Xiao Wu, the smart and cautious one! He seems well-behaved and not particularly outstanding among his brothers, but he has his own judgment at crucial moments and dares to take responsibility for his actions."

Zhen Yuanzi nodded. Of the little golden crows, he preferred Xiao Wu and Xiao Er, but seeing that Hong Yun didn't pay attention to Xiao Er, he didn't consider it.

Then, after calculating with his fingers, he said, "Their calamity has arrived."

Hongyun didn't take it seriously. Such a deadly tribulation could only be overcome by a saint, and it sounded terrifying. But Hongyun was a saint, after all. Saving a little golden crow would be a piece of cake for him.

Hongyun sighed, "What a pity about their beautiful original forms."

When his friend Kuafu fell, Yi of the Wu tribe had already raised his bow and arrow, aiming it at the sun in the sky.

The first arrow struck Xiao Jiu. Actually, Da Yi had aimed at Xiao Ba, but Xiao Jiu noticed and quickly shielded Xiao Ba from the arrow. He probably didn't know that this arrow would cost him his life; he just didn't want his brother to get hurt.

A mournful cry rang out, and Hongyun's eyes widened instantly: "I want this one too!"

Zhen Yuanzi glanced at Hongyun, then activated the Earth Book to take Xiao Jiu's soul into the Earth Immortal Realm.

They caused such a calamity, and even if it wasn't intentional, they deserved to die. If Hongyun wants to save them, she has to find a way to remove the karmic burden on him, so dying once is inevitable.

Di Jun and Xi He were rushing over with all their might, but they were still a step too late. Their leader was pierced through the heart by an arrow right before their eyes, the True Fire of the Sun was extinguished, and he fell to the ground like a bird with broken wings.

At this point, only four suns remained in the sky.

"Ah!" Xihe shouted angrily and rushed over to kill Da Yi to avenge her child.

Di Jun quickly used magic to remove the true fire of the sun from the little golden crow, leaving only one sun in the sky.

Da Yi calmly looked at Di Jun and Xi He. He was not afraid of death, but he regretted that he had not killed all the suns!

As expected, Xihe killed Da Yi with a single palm strike, and the exhausted Da Yi was powerless to resist.

"Ah~ my child!" Xihe caught the terrified little golden crow and put it on the ground. Her hands trembled as she reached out to hug the little golden crows that no longer had their original true fire.

"Who is it? Who is trying to harm my child?!"
