The Banquet Begins

She would rather forgo any Merit herself than let Zhou Ming ruin this Heavenly Marriage.

This not only concerns the reputation of the Demon Clan, but also her own reputation Saint!

However, Zhou Ming remained unresponsive.

Seeing this, Nuwa was both angry and anxious, yet felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

She could only secretly channel her magic Magic Power, staring intently at Zhou Ming.

We were prepared to stop him at all costs the moment he made his move.

Under no circumstances can we let him ruin this Heavenly Marriage ceremony!

Just as tensions were about to rise, the Merit Golden Cloud finally descended from the sky.

The golden cloud split into five in mid-air.

The two largest portions flowed towards Di Jun and Xi He respectively.

The remainder was divided into three portions.

One flew towards Nuwa, and the other fell into the Innate Red Embroidered Ball.

The last one, which was also the smallest, flew straight towards Zhou Ming.

Seeing that small but undeniably personal Merit fly towards him, a knowing glint flashed in Zhou Ming's eyes.

Upon seeing the Merit flying towards him, Zhou Ming's pent-up aura instantly dissipated.

A faint smile appeared on his face, and with a casual wave of his hand, he put away the Merit.

The whole process was smooth and seamless, as if nothing had happened before.

Nuwa stood there, stunned, staring at Zhou Ming, who remained calm.

He looked at the Merit he had accumulated in front of him and was completely stunned.

She felt like she had been tricked.

Zhou Ming put away the Merit, his heart at peace.

It seems that the Heavenly Dao ultimately still has to abide by certain basic rules.

As long as it's subject to the rules, it's easy to handle.

Once you gradually understand the underlying principles and bottom lines of these rules, you can do many interesting things within the framework permitted by those rules.

Just as Zhou Ming was pondering, the suspended Innate Red Embroidered Ball had absorbed all the Merit.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Ming immediately waved his hand and retrieved the Innate Red Embroidered Ball.

This series of movements was fluid and seamless.

Nuwa simply observed coldly, without making any comment.

The assembled Great Powers, having witnessed the entire successful Heavenly Marriage, were already deeply moved.

The union of Di Jun and Xi He was Heavenly Marriage that followed the Heavenly Dao and set a precedent for marriage among all living beings in the Primordial Wilderness!

That's amazing enough in itself.

But what happened next completely shocked everyone.

What did they see?

The Merit of the Heavenly Marriage were bestowed, and Zhou Ming received a share.

That's fine, after all, he was one of the hosts.

Afterwards, in front of the Saint Nuwa, he even took away the Innate Red Embroidered Ball!

The most outrageous thing is that the Saint Nuwa didn't react at all!

What does this tell us?

A storm of speculation swept through everyone's minds.

Could it be... that the Saint Nuwa wanted to persuade the Sage Zhou Ming to agree to her request?

Not only did they divide up the Merit of the Heavenly Marriage, but they also gave away the Innate Red Embroidered Ball?

But no one could figure it out.

Although the Innate Red Embroidered Ball is Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, it is not considered precious to a Primordial Chaos Sage.

It's hardly worthy of Saint condescending to personally officiate at a wedding!

Could this Innate Red Embroidered Ball have some wondrous use that we are unaware of?

Little did they know that the Red Embroidered Ball had already been pawned by Nuwa to Zhou Ming.

In this Heavenly Marriage, Zhou Ming was merely lending the Innate Red Embroidered Ball to the original owner for a short time.

Seeing that Zhou Ming had accepted the Merit and treasures and made no further moves, Nuwa finally felt relieved.

She let out a long sigh of relief.

Although we don't know what Zhou Ming was thinking just now, as long as he doesn't cause trouble now, everything is fine.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the Twelve Ancestral Witches were in the observation group.

Everyone was eager and ready to take action.

With just one order from their elder brother, they could tear down this Lingxiao Treasure Hall on the spot!

It can be seen that Heavenly Dao obediently bestowed Merit, and even his own elder brother stopped.

They could only reluctantly abandon their plan to attack and sit back down.

"Tch, boring."

Zhu Rong muttered something under his breath.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire Lingxiao Treasure Hall became incredibly eerie.

The newlyweds Di Jun and Xi He, stood on the High Platform, receiving the gaze of everyone.

But there were few blessings in those gazes; they were mostly filled with astonishment and speculation.

Di Jun's smile almost froze.

Just when the atmosphere was at its most bizarre, Zhou Ming, the instigator, appeared.

After accepting the Merit and the Red Embroidered Ball, he looked around at the various expressions on everyone's faces and spoke loudly.

"The ceremony is complete, what are you all standing there for?"

Let the feast begin!

The sound wasn't loud, but it clearly resonated throughout the entire Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

Everyone: "???"

Should we... begin the feast?

Fuxi was the first to react; a smile immediately spread across his face as he hurriedly stepped forward.

"Yes, yes, yes! The Saint is right! Let the feast begin! Let the feast begin!"

He shouted loudly, waving repeatedly at the Demon Clan servants around him.

"What are you all standing there for!"

"Quickly! Serve the banquet! Play the music!"

At his command, melodious celestial music rang out once more, and countless graceful Demon Clan maidens carried jade platters of delicacies.

Like butterflies flitting among flowers, they served one exquisite dish after another to each table.

It has everything: celestial fruits Spiritual Root, fine wines and nectars, but it lacks dragon liver and phoenix marrow.

Looking at the sumptuous feast before him, Zhou Ming was filled with emotion.

After countless years in this Primordial World, I'm finally having a proper feast.

He sat down and began to savor the food slowly.

Seeing his appearance, even if the Great Powers had a thousand doubts in their hearts, they could only suppress them and take their seats.

The atmosphere at this banquet, however, seemed rather strange.

The entire banquet proceeded hastily in this eerie atmosphere.

Finally, the banquet came to an end.

After a long while, the banquet finally came to an end.

Zhou Ming looked at Nuwa, his tone indifferent.

"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, this Heavenly Marriage has come to a successful conclusion, and we shall take our leave now."

Nuwa was overjoyed to hear that Zhou Ming was leaving.

But even Saint has to save face.

She maintained her Saint demeanor and nodded indifferently.

"Alright, fellow Daoist, take care. I won't see you off."

Go! Get out of here right now! And never come back!

This is Nuwa's truest feeling at this moment.

Zhou Ming nodded, then stood up and led the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

They left the Lingxiao Treasure Hall in a grand procession, transforming into streams of light and returning to Buzhou Mountain.

Until those thirteen powerful auras completely disappeared into the sky.

Nuwa finally let out a long, long breath.

call...

Finally, we've gotten rid of this plague!

Only after Zhou Ming left did the atmosphere in the hall truly ease.

All the Great Powers of the Primordial Wilderness rose to bid farewell to Di Jun and Nuwa.

Your Majesty, Demon Emperor Majesty the Demon Emperor Your Majesty!

We'll take our leave now.

"Congratulations, Demon Emperor and Empress! We will come to pay our respects another day!"

Everyone stood up and bid farewell to Di Jun and Xi He, as if the Heavenly Court were some kind of dragon's den or tiger's lair, and it would be unbearable to stay even a moment longer.

Di Jun, Fuxi, and the others could only force smiles and return the gifts one by one.

In a short while, the once bustling Lingxiao Treasure Hall became completely empty.

With the departure of all the Great Powers, this Primordial Wilderness first Heavenly Marriage in the prehistoric world finally came to a close.
