Primordial Era: A member of the Jie Sect, apprenticed to Tongtian

"Donghuang Taiyi... an obsession..."

She shook her head, seemingly recalling the domineering Eastern Emperor who looked down upon the world.

She also disliked Donghuang Taiyi, but she would inevitably acknowledge his strength and charisma.

Now I know that the last vestige of their obsession has vanished into nothingness.

Naturally, I felt a surge of emotion.

But after that brief moment of emotion, her beautiful eyes fixed intently on Shi Yuan: "By telling me this...aren't you afraid that I'll take this opportunity to kill you and seize the Chaos Bell?"

His words were emotionless and detached, as if they were divine will.

And the sage's oppressive aura descended suddenly at this moment!

Only then did it become clear that this demon saint was indeed a saint of the highest order.

His previous friendship with Wang Shu was also a genuine expression of affection.

But when it comes to the continuation of the demon race's foundation.

She also possessed that saintly heart that viewed "all things in heaven and earth as chess pieces."

"Of course not, Your Majesty."

However, when faced with the oppressive aura of the Goddess Nuwa, Shi Yuan felt that the flow of magical power within his body was not smooth.

But his expression remained completely unchanged.

"I am confident in my ability to conceal items. If I were unwilling, even Your Majesty would not be able to find them—Your Majesty can certainly see this from the case of Fairy Wangshu."

"Besides, I am of no use."

"But my master, Tongtian, is the sworn brother of the Empress. Why would the Empress attack me?"

he laughed.

But the meaning behind those words was quite clear.

Even if you kill me, you still won't get the Chaos Bell.

If you kill me, my master, the Tongtian Sect Leader, will surely come to your Nuwa Palace gates with his sword tomorrow.

This is not a threat—threats are useless to a saint.

He was simply stating a fact.

"snort!"

Nuwa let out a soft hum.

Subsequently, his saintly power also suddenly diminished.

"Not only did he have extraordinary luck, but he also possessed considerable courage."

She chuckled softly, as if the oppressive aura of a saint had never existed.

In fact, she naturally knew that Shi Yuan was right.

Is the Chaos Bell precious?

Precious—even a saint knows he will have to fight a great battle with other saints.

But most of them would be willing to do so if they could obtain the Chaos Bell.

But for Nuwa, it wasn't so precious.

Nuwa disliked magical battles and had no desire for competition.

High above in the heavens, in the Nuwa Palace, she lacks nothing.

Therefore, she naturally wouldn't risk causing the Tongtian Sect Leader to risk his life and the demon race to completely isolate themselves from the Three Realms by attacking Shi Yuan.

Not to mention, Shi Yuan was absolutely right.

At this moment, Goddess Nuwa truly couldn't see through Shi Yuan, this junior who was merely at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

She could also vaguely sense that what Shi Yuan said was mostly true.

Judging from the fact that he could suddenly conjure up Wangshu, the things he hid... even a saint would most likely not be able to find them!

"That's enough!"

Nuwa sighed, "I don't know why my senior brother Tongtian would accept such a cunning disciple like you."

Although not long ago she remarked that Shi Yuan and Tongtian Jiaozhu were very similar.

But at this moment, she clearly had a different idea.

"I will not lie to you—I must retrieve the demonic destiny within the Chaos Bell."

"Just tell me what you want in exchange."

She spoke directly, stating her purpose.

That's right—Nuwa never actually intended to obtain the Chaos Bell itself from the very beginning.

From the very beginning, her goal was the demonic destiny suppressed within the Chaos Bell.

You must know how prosperous the ancient demon race was in the past.

They shared the same destiny with the Wu tribe.

Cola Novels: turn the page and you're in another world.

It is in no way inferior to the current Chan Sect!

As a supreme innate treasure, the Chaos Bell possesses more than just the ability to suppress destiny.

Moreover, it is the most top-tier of all treasures used to suppress destiny.

The demonic energy contained within it is naturally abundant!

Of course, the most important thing is that what is suppressed within the Chaos Bell is the 'ancient demon race's fortune'.

This is a fundamental difference.

It's important to know that this happened after the Lich War.

The fortunes of the demon race have truly plummeted to rock bottom.

The reason they didn't perish was because of the fortune that Goddess Nuwa gained from creating humans.

And the fortune of heaven and earth obtained by the Fusang Divine Tree as the spiritual root of the sun star is barely maintained.

However, even though the goddess Nuwa could protect the demon race in this way.

However, the fundamental nature of the demon race's destiny has already collapsed.

For a race, this is terrifying.

The destiny of a clan determines the cultivation speed, the probability of enlightenment, and even the difficulty of encountering heavenly tribulations among individuals within that clan.

Powerful forces with strong destiny, such as the Chan Sect, have smooth cultivation paths and may even be free from heavenly tribulations.

Even if they occasionally encounter a heavenly tribulation, they can easily overcome it.

Even if you fall asleep during your tribulation, the tribulation will still be deflected by itself!

And what about the demon race?

The demon race of today.

An ordinary little demon might inexplicably attract heavenly tribulation the moment it transforms into human form.

Even for those with profound backgrounds, achieving the status of a celestial being is considered quite good.

Just like the four little demons that Shi Yuan saw—each of them was quite talented, and most of them had the potential to become Golden Immortals in the future.

But in reality, it would be quite good if even one of them could fully realize their talent.

Unless they are taken in as disciples by other powerful beings, they rely solely on the luck of the demon race.

The difficulty of spiritual practice (as described by Li Zhao) is truly indescribable.

Nowadays, among the demon races of the Three Realms, apart from those ancient demon gods who survived the era of witches and demons, there are none left.

Almost none of the newly born demon race can be considered famous throughout the Three Realms.

The reason for this is precisely this.

Moreover, even the goddess Nuwa couldn't help when the fortune of this kind of race collapsed.

She can use her luck to preserve the existence of the demon race.

However, regarding the fate of the demon race itself, she could only say that even a skilled cook cannot make a meal without rice.

But at this moment, the fortune within the Chaos Bell is undoubtedly a savior!

It is the true ancient demon race's fortune; obtaining it will fundamentally replenish and continue the foundation of the demon race!

It's impossible to recreate the situation of ancient times.

This is its most important aspect!

Therefore, Goddess Nuwa naturally had to reclaim this portion of destiny no matter what.

Shi Yuan, however, had clearly already guessed this.

In fact—he had previously heard Donghuang Taiyi mention that the Chaos Bell had suppressed the destiny of the demon race.

That was his first thought.

Admittedly, this good fortune was also very precious to him.

However, at present, the Stone Origin Realm has already passed the early stage.

Although this portion of the demon race's fortune is considerable, it's not enough to cause a qualitative change in the Shiyuan Realm.

But if it were to be exchanged with the goddess Nuwa.

So...

"If my plan succeeds, the fortune I gain... will be far greater than this!"

Shi Yuan understood this.

Investing is nothing to be ashamed of!

So, he chuckled and said to Goddess Nuwa, "Your Majesty, your words are rather distant!"

"I will naturally entrust this portion of the ancient demon race's fortune to Your Majesty."

If the words he spoke were heard by the Sage of Taiqing, they would surely seem quite familiar.

"However, I need Your Majesty to intercept some... insignificant benefits for me!"
