A New Father, and the Little Ancestor Wants to Eat My Son!
The Yellow Origin Qi!
As these four words were uttered by Yuanshi Tianzun, time itself seemed to stand still in Kunlun.
The wind stopped.
The clouds have frozen.
The celestial bird that flapped its wings in the air was instantly transformed into a lifelike sculpture, with the texture of every feather frozen in time.
That is the most primordial essence of earth, from the very beginning of time, when Heaven and Earth Yellow were in their Primordial World and most chaotic state.
Pangu's Creation of the World, the pure air rose and the turbid air sank.
That Origin Qi, existing between purity and turbidity, is the most substantial and possesses the power to bear all things; it is the Yellow Origin Qi!
Legend has it that the "Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda," Acquired Merit Supreme Treasure that stands atop one's head and is hailed as "invincible from birth," is itself formed from a complete Yellow Origin Qi!
Such an incredible artifact...
It turns out...
Was it fed a bite of Roasted Sweet Potato?
All the powerful beings present felt their Dao Heart, which had been cultivated for countless eons and were stronger than the Chaos Divine Iron, crack with a "crack" sound, becoming covered with spiderweb-like cracks.
Amidst countless rays of dark yellow light, the lump of mud was no longer an inanimate object.
It was like a newborn heart, beginning to beat powerfully.
Thump!
Thump! Thump!
This was no ordinary sound, but the pulse of the earth, each beat striking the very soul of everyone present, announcing the birth of a great life.
In the glow of the sunset, it slowly "stood up".
It coalesced into a round head.
A chubby body.
There are also two pairs of chubby little arms and legs.
Finally, a small, earth-yellow clay figure with a simple, endearing face appeared vividly before everyone.
The aura emanating from it was pure and profound, causing the powerful beings present to feel a pressure originating from the Life Origin.
The little clay figure tilted its head, its tiny black bean-like eyes filled with pure, innocent curiosity as it surveyed this brand new world.
Then, it took its first steps, wobbling as it pounced on the figure holding it in its hands.
He grabbed Qiankun Ancestor's stained trouser leg.
With a soft, sweet, and affectionate childlike voice, it uttered its first cry upon entering this world.
"Father... Father?"
This call was more powerful than the Chaos Divine Thunder, striking directly at the crown of the Qiankun Ancestor's head.
He was completely dumbfounded.
He slowly lowered his head, looking at the small, soft creature at his feet, its body exuding a unique aroma of Roasted Sweet Potato and fresh soil.
For the first time, his eyes, which had been clouded by hunger for countless eons, glistened with tears.
He... has an heir?
Or is he... a son Yellow Origin Qi has become a spirit?!
I only... I only shared a bite with this lump of mud because I was worried it would go hungry!
At the summit, Empress Nuwa's beautiful eyes shone with extraordinary light. She held the Dao of Creation, and molding clay into humans was her prerogative, yet the beings she created relied on their own cultivation and supreme laws.
The Sloppy Old Daoist in front of her had enlightened the stubborn earth with just one bite of food, bestowing upon it the Xuanhuang Body that even she had dreamed of!
"Fellow Daoist, your method of 'proving the Dao through food' has truly set a precedent in the world."
Nuwa's voice was filled with heartfelt admiration.
"Fellow Daoist Qiankun, you have passed the test."
Hehe... hehehe...
The Qiankun Ancestor held his "Xuanhuang Son," grinning like a three-thousand-year-old child, his saliva almost dripping from his mouth.
He reached out and poked the little clay figure's bouncy face, then patted its round belly.
So soft.
It smells so good.
This little thing... is so bouncy and chewy, and it has a milky and earthy aroma...
The old ancestor subconsciously swallowed.
The next second, he jolted awake and slapped himself across the face!
"Smack!"
Crisp and clear!
Bah! What a terrible thing! How could Laozi possibly lay a hand on my own son!
His heart and eyes were filled with the joy of becoming a father for the first time. He lifted the little clay figure high in the air, so happy he almost lost his bearings.
However, amidst this peaceful yet eerie atmosphere, a highly discordant sound began to echo softly.
"Sister Nuwa..."
At the summit, Lin Shen sniffed hard, his voice filled with an almost irrepressible longing.
His big, dark eyes were fixed on the small, yellowish-brown clay figure reflected in the water mirror.
The sweet aroma of Roasted Sweet Potato.
The delicate fragrance of Innate Spiritual Root.
There's also a primal, earthy fragrance, like the scent of the earth at its earliest beginnings.
The three flavors blended together perfectly.
This complex aroma...
It's a hundred times more tempting than the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir refined by my three senior masters!
A single, glistening drop of saliva escaped the confinement of her small mouth and slipped silently down with a soft "plop."
"That clay figure..."
"It smells..."
"It tastes even better than the Roasted Sweet Potato from that old man earlier!"
Upon hearing this statement...
The flow of time in the Kunlun Mountain had just resumed, but it froze again.
The foolish fatherly smile on the face of the Qiankun Ancestor froze instantly, shattering inch by inch.
He suddenly looked up.
Those eyes, which had just been full of love, now burst forth with a green light that only a ferocious beast that had been starving for millions of years possessed, and locked onto the direction of the mountain peak!
Who?
Who is it?!
Who is eyeing my newborn son?!
The protective instinct of the Qiankun Ancestor... no, it was the instinct to protect his offspring, which was completely unleashed at this moment!
He tucked the Mysterious Yellow Little Clay Figure into his robe and wrapped it tightly around himself, scanning his surroundings warily, as if a formidable enemy was about to snatch his manhood.
The eerie atmosphere in the examination room was clearly transmitted to every corner through Fuxi's "Destiny Live Broadcast Room".
At the mountaintop, Lin Shen was still smacking his lips, his face innocent and naive, completely unaware of the huge hornet's nest he had stirred up with his words.
"Sister Nuwa, why does that clay figure smell so good? Is it chocolate flavored?"
The little guy tugged at Nuwa's sleeve, his eyes full of question marks.
Nuwa's lips twitched violently.
Chocolate flavor?
What strange and wonderful things are going on in this Little Ancestor's head?
"Ahem, Little Lin Shen, um... you can't eat him." Nuwa forced a gentle smile and patiently explained, "He's a little life now, meant to be loved, not eaten."
"Oh..."
Lin Shen pouted, her big eyes instantly filling with tears, and said in a pitiful voice, "But... but he smells so good..."
"That wicked grandpa wanted to eat the kitten, and now Lin Shen Can can't even eat a clay figure..."
"Wow--!"
The little guy felt more and more aggrieved. His lips trembled, and a heart-wrenching cry erupted, turning into the highest-level red alert that resounded throughout the entire Kunlun Mountain Peak.
"You're all bad people! You're bullying Lin Shen! Waaaaaah--!"
The moment the crying rang out, Three Pure Ones's face turned deathly pale!
"My Beloved Disciple, don't cry! Don't cry!"
The Tongtian Jiaozhu was the first to lose his temper. With a "whoosh," the phantom of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation Diagram (Hongjun had given to Tongtian) flickered wildly behind him, and his killing intent almost solidified!
He glared fiercely at the Qiankun Ancestor reflected in the water mirror, his divine sense roaring wildly in the Kunlun Mountain high-level channel, "It's all that old bastard's fault! Why did he have to be so envious of having a son! He made my disciple cry with envy!"
The Yuanshi Tianzun, abandoning his aloofness, flashed to Lin Shen's side, his voice gentler than ever before. "Lin Shen, be good, don't cry. That clay figure isn't tasty, it's hard on your teeth! Your Second Master will go and make you an edible nine-tiered glazed pagoda Palace Cake with a filling of nine kinds of Innate Spiritual Root!"
Taiqing Laozi was even more direct, pulling out his treasured "Nine Revolutions Starry Sky Glazed Candy Bean Supreme PRO MAX Edition" and stuffing it into Lin Shen's mouth without saying a word.
"Come, come, my disciple, have some candy! Candy will make you feel better! This one is star-flavored, crunchy and sweet!"
For a time, the Kunlun Mountain Peak was in complete chaos.
Three Primordial Origin Golden Immortal were frantically surrounding a crying baby; the scene was enough to shatter the Dao Heart of any living being who witnessed it into a QR code on the spot.
Meanwhile, the Qiankun Ancestor in the examination hall shuddered as he heard the faint crying coming from the mountaintop and the undisguised murderous gaze of the Tongtian Jiaozhu.
He finally realized that the one who wanted to eat his "son" was none other than Kunlun Mountain's beloved Little Ancestor!
It's over!
Barbie Q is here!
I haven't even officially started learning yet, and I've already offended my junior brother... no, I mean my Little Ancestor!
They promised free meals and lodging, but it looks like I'm going to get punched every day!
The Qiankun Ancestor was sweating profusely with anxiety. Holding his "Xuanhuang Son" in his arms, he felt as if he were holding a hot potato, no, his own son!
"Empress Nuwa, is the test over? This Old Daoist... this Old Daoist, may I leave now?"
All he wants now is to find a crack in the ground and disappear there forever.
"Snort."
Empress Nuwa snorted coldly, and seeing his cowardly appearance, her anger subsided considerably.
She waved her hand, and the Garden of Love slowly disappeared.
"Level 4 complete."
"The next challenge is Brother Fuxi's 'Crossroads of Fate'."
