Primordial Era: I, the Thirteenth Witch, had my innermost thoughts overheard by my older siblings.

"Huh? What?"

Upon suddenly hearing this pleasant voice, Ye Kai was startled and turned to look.

At this moment, Nuwa's eyes were bright, and she was quietly observing him.

That melodious voice just now came from Nuwa.

Seeing Ye Kai looking over, Nuwa opened her mouth again and said, "Thank you for earlier."

Upon hearing Nuwa's words, Ye Kai finally realized what was happening.

[Is Nuwa thanking me because I stopped my brother and sister from taking her prayer mat? This...this seems like we were in the wrong, right?]

Although he stopped Dijiang and his group from seizing Nuwa's prayer mat for certain reasons, he never expected that Nuwa would thank him for it.

Not only him, but Di Jiang and the others also looked away embarrassedly when they heard Ye Kai's thoughts.

"We didn't rob you, we were just thinking of you, little brother."

"This girl is not only beautiful, but also kind-hearted. I'm glad I didn't actually rob her, or I would have felt really bad."

"Is this what a born saint is? Now I suddenly understand what my thirteenth brother meant."

"..."

Dijiang and the others muttered to themselves.

The reason they gave up the robbery wasn't because Nuwa was some kind of born saint, nor because Nuwa had any special opportunities or good fortune; it was simply because Ye Kai was unwilling, so they didn't do it.

It could be said that if Ye Kai hadn't stopped them, they wouldn't have cared about cause and effect or destiny; they would have just robbed them directly.

After all, in their eyes, Nuwa was no different from any other primordial creature!

But now, Nuwa's attitude towards Ye Kai has given them a deeper understanding of Nuwa.

Nuwa did not, like other primordial beings, consider them barbarians and uncultured, nor did she despise them.

Instead, they thanked Ye Kai for stopping them from robbing them.

This is undoubtedly treating them differently!

Such a genuine, pure, and kind-hearted girl is truly someone you wouldn't want to bully!

"It's alright, no need to thank me. My elder brother and sister were very rude just now, please forgive them, fellow Daoist."

At this moment, Ye Kaili's expression immediately turned serious, and he bowed respectfully with his hands clasped.

Although Nuwa took the initiative to express her gratitude, they were ultimately at fault, and as someone involved in the matter, he could not shirk his responsibility.

An apology is still necessary!

"Fellow Daoist? May I ask how I should address you?"

Upon hearing Ye Kai address her in this way, Nuwa's eyes flickered slightly, a hint of surprise flashing across them.

After all, we, the beings of the primordial world, are quite different from the Wu tribe. They cultivate the Dao, so we address each other as fellow Daoists. The Wu tribe does not cultivate the Dao but focuses on physical training, so we cannot be considered fellow Daoists.

However, since Ye Kai addressed her that way, she did not refuse.

and,

She could also see that although Ye Kai had the body of an Ancestral Witch, he possessed a trace of primordial spirit, which made him different from other Ancestral Witches like Di Jiang.

If they all listen to Hongjun preach, they will be fellow disciples.

There is nothing wrong with addressing each other as fellow Daoists in this way.

"My name is Ye Kai. May I ask how you should address me?"

Ye Kai introduced himself and asked Nuwa a question.

"The leaves open? The leaves fall and the flowers bloom, a beautiful meaning."

Upon hearing Ye Kai announce his name, Nuwa couldn't help but ponder for a moment.

Then her eyes narrowed slightly, and she bowed respectfully, saying, "This humble Daoist is Nuwa, greetings to fellow Daoist."

After exchanging greetings, she pointed to a kind-faced man behind her and introduced him to Ye Kai, saying, "This is my elder brother, named Fuxi."

Her introduction was intended to introduce Fuxi and Ye Kai so that they could look after each other when they traveled through the prehistoric world.

After all, Ye Kai was not only the ancestral witch of the witch clan, but also the youngest of the twelve ancestral witches and the most favored by them.

If we can become acquainted with Ye Kai, it will be easier to talk to the Wu Clan.

Of course, besides this reason, she had another reason:

"I have often been taken care of by my elder brother when I travel through the primordial world, so I can understand why my elder brother and sister care for you so much."

Nuwa explained it this way.

Upon hearing Nuwa's words, Ye Kai was taken aback, but then he understood.

Nuwa's words were an explanation for why she thanked me instead of blaming me earlier.

After all, she had her older brother to take care of her, and she knew that her siblings were fighting over the prayer mat for my own good.

"This Nuwa is not only kind-hearted and pure, but also has a clear mind, which is indeed different from other creatures in the prehistoric world."

Hearing Ye Kai's thoughts, Di Jiang and the others nodded slightly.

If they felt ashamed towards Nuwa before, now they truly love this girl from the bottom of their hearts.

As Ye Kai and Nuwa were talking, Hongyun carefully chose his words, then bowed to Ye Kai, saying, "This humble Daoist is Hongyun. Greetings, fellow Daoist. Thank you for your help earlier..."

He had intended to seize the opportunity to build good relationships with Ye Kai and the others, but when he reached the end, he hesitated and didn't know where to begin.

After all, it was true that Ye Kai and the others had tried to snatch his prayer mat, and he felt no gratitude for it, even harboring some resentment.

Now that he's suddenly being asked to thank Ye Kai, he really doesn't know what to say.

[Heh, trying to imitate a tiger while drawing a cat, do you really think I'm stupid? Can't you even see that?]

Upon seeing this, Ye Kai let out a cold laugh.

He already looked down on Hongyun, and now seeing Hongyun's behavior, he felt even less favorably toward her!

Hongyun's apparent expression of gratitude was actually an attempt to emulate Nuwa's way of getting closer to him, but her attempt was a poor imitation!

Hongyun's desire to get closer to him was simply because she saw that it would be beneficial for Nuwa to do so!

Ye Kai didn't even bother to glance at this selfish and overly kind person, and simply ignored him.

"this……"

Seeing that Ye Kai didn't even look at her, Hongyun couldn't help but twitch her lips, looking extremely embarrassed.

Just then, a scent of sandalwood wafted over.

"Silence, all of you! Welcome to His Majesty's arrival!"

Upon seeing this, the two young Taoist disciples' expressions hardened slightly. They first reminded everyone, and then bowed respectfully to the high platform.

"Welcome, Your Majesty!"

"Welcome, Sage Hongjun!"

"..."

Upon seeing this, everyone's attention was slightly focused, and they immediately stopped discussing and bowed in greeting.

Even Nuwa and the Three Pure Ones are the same!

In contrast to them, Dijiang and his group sat upright, cross-legged, showing no intention of paying their respects.

"The entire primordial world was created by our Father God; why should we pay our respects to an old Taoist priest?"

"That's right, if we're being honest, he should bow to us with his hands clasped in greeting."

"..."

Dijiang and the others muttered to themselves.

Seeing Di Jiang and the others' reaction, Ye Kai couldn't help but shake his head slightly:

[It's good that my elder brother and sister are proud, but Hongjun has already become a saint, and we're here to listen to his teachings. We should be more polite to him.]

Thinking this, Ye Kai then gave a slight bow.

Upon hearing Ye Kai's thoughts, Di Jiang and the others were taken aback and pondered in silence.

"Brother, you're right, we should be more polite."

"Even if not for us, we should think of our younger brothers."

"Well, for my brother's sake, I'll be polite to him."

"..."

They said this and quickly made a decision.

To outsiders, after Ye Kai cupped his hands in greeting, Di Jiang and the others followed suit.

Upon seeing this scene, not only Laozi and the others, but even Hongjun was taken aback and nodded secretly.

Then, he turned his gaze to Ye Kai. "The Twelve Ancestral Witches were unruly, but this Thirteenth Witch is quite polite. Moreover, he possesses a primordial spirit, has fifty Great Daos, forty-nine Heavenly Evolutions, and has one of them missing. Perhaps this child is that anomaly!"

Having thought this through, Hongjun withdrew his gaze, looked around at everyone, and said, "You need not stand on ceremony. I have observed the heavens and the earth and finally attained the Great Dao. Therefore, I have summoned you here to explain the Great Dao of the heavens and the earth. What you gain from it depends entirely on your own destiny."

"Thank you, Dao Ancestor! You are merciful!"

Upon hearing Hongjun's words, everyone was overjoyed and quickly thanked him.

They had all personally experienced the power of Hongjun's ascension to sainthood. If they could comprehend the Great Dao and take another step forward, that would be even better!

Since the beginning of time, when Pangu separated heaven and earth, all living beings vied for supremacy, and their cultivation level stopped at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Perfection.

Even the former overlords, the Ancestral Dragon, the Primordial Phoenix, and the First Qilin, and yesterday's Demon Lord, Rahu, are all like this!

Hongjun was not only the first to break this limitation, but he also intended to impart the Great Dao of this realm to them.

This alone is enough to earn him the title of "Taoist Ancestor"!

but,

Just as they were offering their congratulations, a discordant voice rang out.
