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

"What's wrong with Uncle?" Huiyu asked, nestled in Hongyun's arms.

"He got hurt! But it's okay, I've already healed him. He's been getting injured a lot lately, he won't die!" Hongyun thought she was coaxing Huiyu gently, but in reality, she didn't care about the child's feelings at all.

Huiyu raised her head, a bad feeling creeping into her heart: "Then what about my father? How could he let my uncle get hurt?"

Hongyun was silent for a moment, then raised her hand and touched the back of Huiyu's head: "Your father and mother have both passed away."

"Your father was a powerful ruler. He had his own path; he could die but he couldn't lose. He had long foreseen his own end, which is why he sent you brothers to the sage's tutelage and then went off to pursue his own path."

Huiyu understood Hongyun's meaning. He knew what "fallen" meant and what his father's path was.

After that, he no longer had a father or a mother.

"Cry! It's good to cry. Your father's path has come to an end, but your path must continue." Hongyun never believed that people should be strong. Everyone has a soft spot in their heart. Emotions should be vented. If you keep them bottled up, you will not get through it.

Huiyu hugged Hongyun's neck tightly, about to start crying, when two loud shouts came from inside the room, followed by a heart-wrenching wail.

"Mother, I want Mother!"

"Mother Empress~ Ah~"

It was Xiao Wu and Xiao Jiu, who had just been resurrected by Zhen Yuanzi using a magical artifact. They must have been devastated after learning of the deaths of Di Jun and Xi He upon regaining consciousness.

Hongyun sighed and carried Huiyu back.

"Silence!" Zhen Yuanzi frowned and scolded the two children who were crying so hard that they annoyed him.

Hongyun felt a pang of pity and said on their behalf, "They're just two children. How could they not cry after losing their loved ones?"

Huiyu struggled to get out of Hongyun's arms, ran to her two younger brothers, and gently stroked Lingyu with her small hands. Even though she was heartbroken herself, she still comforted her two younger brothers.

"Don't cry, don't cry, your brother is here."

In the end, the three brothers cried together. Huiyu held the two pieces of spirit jade, his eyes red from crying, and he almost fainted.

Zhen Yuanzi preferred quiet and couldn't stand noise, but seeing the two children crying like this, he couldn't bear to scold them, so he went out with Hongyun and left the place for them.

The two stood in the courtyard for a while before Hongyun finally spoke: "When will Yusheng and Yuheng be able to transform into human form?"

Xiao Wu is named Yu Sheng, and Xiao Jiu is named Yu Heng. Both of them were resurrected using high-grade spiritual jade as a carrier. Zhen Yuanzi named them both when he named Hui Yu.

Zhen Yuanzi calculated for a moment: "If they are enlightened, they can take human form at any time. But if they are allowed to cultivate on their own, it will probably take several hundred years."

That's true. Even if they weren't three-legged golden crows, they wouldn't have much luck. It's inevitable that they would encounter obstacles during their cultivation, and their transformation into human form wouldn't be smooth either.

However, cultivation is their own path. Although Hongyun can help, there are only so many tribulations in a lifetime, and they must overcome them one by one on their own.

If we rely on external forces, even if we get through this time, we might find it again from somewhere else.

"Let them cultivate on their own. In the primordial era, time is immeasurable. For ordinary people like us, several years or even decades can pass in the blink of an eye. Why rush them and destabilize their foundations over a few hundred years?" Hongyun was very open-minded and did not expect them to achieve much.
