Primordial Era: A God-Level Choice, Possessing Zhao Gongming at the Start

Chapter 65 The Path of Creation: The Cause of the Great Calamity

Zhao Gongming watched as Fuxi happily accepted the tea leaves.

The smile on his face also deepened.

The most important reason why he went to such lengths to please Fuxi was to lay the groundwork for his own plans regarding the human race.

Among the six direct disciples of the Xuanmen sect, Nuwa relied on the Dao of Creation to create the human race and thus attain sainthood; this was an inevitable event.

Based on the current timeline, Zhao Gongming calculated that it shouldn't be long before Nuwa attains enlightenment.

When the human race is born, although it will be insignificant and unremarkable among all the races in the heavens for the time being.

But the potential of the human race is unmatched by any other race.

Zhao Gongming was very clear that the human race would one day become the protagonist of the world!

Investing a little in humanity could yield a hundredfold return in the future.

This is a deal that might only come around once in a very long time.

Thinking of this, Zhao Gongming smiled slightly at Fuxi.

"Uncle-Master Fuxi, I wonder where Aunt-Master Nuwa is now? It's not easy for you two to come to Phoenix Perch Mountain, so you should pay your respects."

Fuxi was slightly taken aback. His own sister had obtained the Primordial Purple Qi in the Purple Cloud Palace back then.

After returning to Phoenix Perch Mountain, he devoted himself to comprehending the methods of enlightenment and never met with outsiders.

Suddenly, Fuxi's heart skipped a beat. His sister had recently made great progress in comprehending the Dao.

Could it be a disciple of the Sanqing Sect, here to inquire about his sister's progress in comprehending the Primordial Purple Qi?

Unexpectedly, even the proud Three Pure Ones, transformed from the primordial spirit of the Great God Pangu, couldn't sit still in the face of the supreme holy path.

Just as Fuxi was about to refuse, he suddenly saw Zhao Gongming grinning, seemingly glancing at the two cans of tea in his hand.

Fuxi couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself. He was indebted to those who fed him and was obliged to accept their gifts.

These two cans of Enlightenment Tea have really caused me a lot of trouble.

Once a gift has been received, there's no reason to return it.

Furthermore, everyone's opportunity to attain enlightenment is different.

The path that suits Nuwa may not suit the Three Pure Ones.

What harm is there in letting Zhao Gongming broaden his horizons?

After a moment's thought, Fuxi readily agreed.

"Your aunt Nuwa is comprehending the Dao on the mountaintop. I will lead you there."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Uncle-Master."

Zhao Gongming followed Fuxi and traveled all the way, soon arriving at the summit of Phoenix Perch Mountain.

At the summit of Phoenix Mountain, two magnificent and exquisite palaces rise from the ground, standing to the east and west.

Beside the palace, auspicious clouds shrouded the area, with countless rays of light and auspicious colors, creating a myriad of wondrous phenomena. At the same time, an inexplicable sense of majesty emanated from the area, making it impossible for anyone to look directly at it for long.

One of the palaces was making a lot of noise, with clanging and ping-pong sounds.

"That is your Aunt Nuwa's sacred ground."

Fuxi explained something to Zhao Gongming, then stepped forward and knocked on the door. A short while later, Fuxi returned.

"Let's go see what your Aunt Nuwa has accomplished over the years."

"Results?"

Zhao Gongming's heart skipped a beat; his guess was indeed correct.

At this point, Nuwa had probably already grasped the opportunity to attain enlightenment.

Zhao Gongming followed Fuxi and slowly pushed open the palace gate.

Suddenly, chaos erupted as an elephant with two trunks, a rabbit with three ears, a white wolf with three heads, and a large black bird with four wings were fighting and frolicking inside the palace, creating a great commotion.

In the center of the palace, on a huge stone table.

A figure was lying down, seemingly studying something.

"Uncle-Master Fuxi, what is this?"

Zhao Gongming was completely bewildered when he saw these bizarre creatures.

With Zhao Gongming's cultivation as a Taiyi Golden Immortal, he could see that these creatures were not truly living beings, but rather as if they had been created by humans.

Fuxi explained, "These things were all created by your Aunt Nuwa using the principles of creation."

As Fuxi spoke, an elephant with two trunks suddenly stopped its joyful steps, turned into a puddle of mud, and fell down in a soft rustling sound.

Fuxi laughed and said, "This elephant was made from the most ordinary mud, sand, mountains and rivers. Although it is quite interesting, it can only last for about a year."

"That spirit rabbit was made by mixing spirit water with some spirit soil, and it lasts longer, probably for several hundred years."

"I see."

Zhao Gongming couldn't help but sigh, "The so-called way of creation is the power to turn decay into wonder."

Even compared to the Three Thousand Great Daos, it is a very powerful one.

Tongtian imparted to Zhao Gongming the Thirty-Six Divine Powers of the Heavenly Gang, the first of which was the Art of Manipulating Creation.

When one cultivates to a high level, one can comprehend the way of creation.

While Zhao Gongming was talking to Fuxi, Nuwa had already turned around.

At the same moment, the system's notification sound rang in Zhao Gongming's mind.

"Ding dong, Nuwa is just one step away from enlightenment, triggering the main quest."

"Mission content: The war between the Lich King and the Demon King is raging, the evil aura is pervasive, the great calamity is approaching, the three realms of Heaven, Earth and Man are still undetermined, and the protagonist of Heaven and Earth has not yet emerged. Help Nuwa to comprehend the holy path, and bestow upon her the Three Lights Divine Water and the Nine Heavens Breath Soil to create the human race, thus giving birth to the human race."

"Quest Reward 1: Human Race Favorability (Permanent)"

"Second mission reward: the treasure of human destiny, the Kongtong Seal."

Hearing the system's voice in his mind, Zhao Gongming's eyes lit up slightly, and he silently accepted the mission.

Zhao Gongming had already learned about the concepts of the Great Tribulation and the Three Powers when he was at Kunlun Mountain.

What is a Great Tribulation? In other words, a Great Tribulation is a self-repair of the primordial world by the Heavenly Dao.

Since the beginning of the creation of the world by Pangu, negative energy has accumulated in the primordial world, giving birth to countless ferocious beasts.

Where do these negative energies come from? They come from the three thousand chaotic demons that Pangu slew.

When negative energy, malevolent aura, and murderous intent accumulate to a certain degree, countless ferocious beasts will wage an unprecedented war.

They compete for resources, disrupt the balance of heaven and earth, control the rules, and constantly strengthen themselves.

This led to the first great calamity after the creation of the world, the Great Calamity of Ferocious Beasts.

Once the great calamity begins, it cannot end. Only through the calamity of slaughter, the fall of the dead, and the reckoning of all causes and effects can the great calamity be ended.

For example, the Great Calamity of the Dragon-Han Era in ancient times.

The three races of dragon, phoenix, and qilin vie for supremacy, though this is constantly instigated by the demon ancestor Rahu.

Ultimately, it all comes down to the dragon, phoenix, and three other races vying for the position of protagonist of heaven and earth, the chosen one of destiny!

Once one is established as the protagonist of heaven and earth, they will be blessed with supreme fortune, which is equivalent to receiving the blessing of the heavens.

Their development will be smooth and exceptionally successful, leading to a great flourishing of the race.

Unfortunately, neither the dragon, phoenix, nor qilin possess the destiny of being the protagonist of heaven and earth.

In the end, they all met a tragic end, their accumulated wealth of millions wasted in countless ways.

And then there's the current Lich Calamity, where the Lich and Demon races are constantly clashing, unleashing boundless carnage!

Besides vying for the position of the protagonist of heaven and earth, they also want to gather the primordial fortune and attain sainthood through supreme merit.

But if you want to become the protagonist of heaven and earth, you can't be tainted with too much karma!

On the path to becoming the protagonist of heaven and earth, one must also eliminate enemies and accumulate karma.

This creates an unsolvable paradox.

At least Zhao Gongming knew in his heart that neither the witch clan nor the demon clan would ultimately become the protagonists of heaven and earth.

A great calamity struck, wiping out both races and ultimately benefiting the human race.

"What are you thinking about?"

A clear and pleasant voice suddenly pulled Zhao Gongming out of his deep thought.

Zhao Gongming looked up and saw Nuwa smiling at him.
