The days of not being able to show off passed quickly.
Ten thousand years later!
Buzhou Mountain region.
Amidst the vast mountain ranges.
A God and Demon, exuding Golden Immortal level pressure, was riding a brilliant, immortal light, flying rapidly over the mountains.
The God and Demon's face was filled with panic and misfortune.
He seemed to be pursued by some ominous entity, fleeing frantically.
"Fellow Daoist, please stay!"
"I am fated with Fellow Daoist... Why must you hide from me?"
A voice came from behind.
"God of Misfortune Gu Xi... What fate do I have with you!"
"Don't come any closer!"
The fleeing God and Demon's mouth twitched, his face turning pale.
He fearfully cursed, then directly burned his vital essence, transforming into a blood-red light. His speed instantly increased tenfold, vanishing from above these mountains in a flash.
A moment later, a figure appeared above the vast mountain range.
It was Gu Xi.
"Alas... people's hearts are not what they used to be. For someone as simple as me, the Gods and Demons of Buzhou Mountain region actually avoid me. Am I... that terrifying?"
Gu Xi's face looked "melancholy," sighing deeply about the changing times.
Ever since he used himself and his Magic Treasures as bait ten thousand years ago, and, with the help of Heavenly Punishment, killed nine Golden Immortals, his name as the "God of Misfortune" had spread throughout the Buzhou Mountain region.
Subsequently, the Gods and Demons of the Buzhou Mountain region regarded him as a plague and avoided him like the devil.
His "business" became increasingly difficult to conduct.
Later, he used many tactics such as "treasure maps," "sting operations," and "deliberate provocation" to kill a few more Golden Immortals, obtaining three more Acquired Spiritual Treasures.
After that, his reputation as the "God of Misfortune" was completely established throughout the Buzhou Mountain region.
Now, in the Buzhou Mountain region, any sentient being that had awakened its Intelligence knew of "God of Misfortune" Gu Xi.
Even many Primordial Great Sages and God and Demon Dao Lords hiding in the Buzhou Mountain region had heard of Gu Xi.
Of course, for existences at the level of Primordial Great Sages and God and Demon Dao Lords, although Gu Xi was very special, he was not yet a threat to them.
They merely paid a little attention to Gu Xi.
They would not actively attack Gu Xi, lest they attract Heavenly Punishment.
But they were not afraid of Gu Xi.
After all, Gu Xi was only a Heavenly Immortal.
However, while the Primordial Great Sages and God and Demon Dao Lords could calmly deal with Gu Xi, the other beings in the Buzhou Mountain region could not.
Gu Xi was now the "clearing tool" and "street cleaner" of the Buzhou Mountain region. Wherever he appeared, the surrounding Gods and Demons would quickly disappear.
"Those who know me understand my worries; those who don't know me wonder what I seek... For someone as simple as me, why am I always misunderstood?"
"I just like making friends, and incidentally giving them a 'thunderous feast' as a celebration."
"Do I really need to be avoided like this?"
"Life is lonely, and it's hard to find a true friend..."
Gu Xi sighed dramatically, appearing misunderstood.
"Pfft!"
Suddenly, a light laugh came from the nearby void.
"Hmm? May I know which Fellow Daoist is here?"
Gu Xi instantly looked towards the source of the sound.
He felt a slight joy in his heart.
He hadn't expected that even now, someone would actively appear beside him.
This was "business" coming to him.
A solemn and sacred Goddess walked out of the void.
She was enveloped in surging, vast Immortal Light of Creation.
An incredibly massive Divine Demon Manifestation of a Human-headed Serpent Body flickered behind her, emitting fluctuations of the Law of Creation that made even God and Demon Dao Lords tremble.
Instantly, the power of Creation within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles became incredibly dense.
The laws of this world seemed to transform into the Law of Creation as the primary focus in an instant.
Bathed in the immense power of Creation, the vast mountains and countless plants and trees in this area rapidly broke through the soil, growing taller and larger.
Many Fierce Beasts, whose Intelligence had not yet awakened, all awakened their Intelligence at this moment.
Numerous Fierce Beasts with fully awakened Intelligence all knelt down and paid homage to the Goddess, thanking her for the grace of creation.
"Nuwa!"
The moment he saw the Goddess, Gu Xi's pupils contracted slightly. He recognized her identity.
Or rather, ninety-nine percent of the beings in the Primordial Era would recognize her identity the first moment they saw this Goddess.
Her identity and Divine Demon Manifestation were too unique.
Nuwa, one of Dao Ancestor Hongjun's six great disciples, one of the top Quasi-Saint Heavenly Venerates in the Primordial Era. Who hadn't heard of her?
One of Nuwa's identifying features was her Human-headed Serpent Body Divine Demon Manifestation.
In the entire Primordial Era, only three people possessed such a Divine Demon Manifestation.
One was Fuxi, one was Nuwa.
The last one was Ancestral Witch Houtu.
However, the human parts of Fuxi and Nuwa were identical to humans, with only two hands.
Houtu's human part was somewhat unusual, with seven hands behind her back, two hands in front of her chest, and those two hands gripping a Teng Snake.
Therefore, it was easy to identify them through their Divine Demon Manifestation.
Moreover, the law power of the three of them was completely different.
The one who appeared before Gu Xi now was clearly Nuwa.
"Nuwa actually came looking for me."
Gu Xi felt both excited and nervous.
He bore a debt of hundreds of billions of Merit.
He had been thinking of harvesting Merit to repay his debt at all times.
Interfering in Nuwa's creation of humans, and using it as an opportunity to gain a large amount of Merit, was his plan.
However, for nearly ten thousand years, he had not figured out how to approach Nuwa and hint to her about creating humans.
After all, he was merely a Heavenly Immortal, while Nuwa was one of the Quasi-Saint giants in the Primordial Era. Their strengths were not on the same level. If Nuwa didn't want to see him, no matter what method he used, it would be difficult for him to meet her.
Moreover, he was somewhat apprehensive about actively contacting Nuwa.
Although, due to the debt of hundreds of billions of Merit, the Heavenly Dao had become his protective charm.
But he didn't truly believe that with the protection of the Heavenly Dao, he was invincible.
Quasi-Saint giants like Nuwa, to deal with a mere Heavenly Immortal like him, probably had plenty of ways.
For example, without killing him, she could simply draw a circle and imprison him, trapping him in one place for hundreds of millions of years. That would be enough for him to suffer.
In the absence of mortal danger, whether the Heavenly Dao would intervene to protect him... Gu Xi dared not guarantee this.
Therefore, he dared not gamble.
For the past ten thousand years, he had been thinking of a way to contact Nuwa and guide her in creating humans while ensuring his own absolute safety.
Unfortunately, he had never thought of a very good method.
And now, Nuwa had actually come looking for him.
This was truly beyond his expectations.
"I'm just a small Heavenly Immortal... Why would Nuwa actively seek me out for no reason?"
"Could it be because... I'm too handsome?"
Gu Xi's thoughts wandered, and he couldn't help but feel nervous.
Nuwa gazed intently at Gu Xi, recalling the scenes she had witnessed over the years.
She was filled with curiosity about such a special Heavenly Immortal as Gu Xi.
For the past ten thousand years, she had been secretly observing Gu Xi.
She saw Gu Xi scheme and court disaster time and again, provoking those Golden Immortal-level Gods and Demons, and then using Heavenly Punishment to kill those who fell for his traps.
The Heavenly Dao actually "favored" Gu Xi so much, which greatly shocked her.
Finally, she confirmed that this "God of Misfortune" Gu Xi was the illegitimate son of the Heavenly Dao.
Otherwise, how could he receive such favoritism from the Heavenly Dao?
After the third sermon in Zixiao Palace concluded, she had been searching for an opportunity to become a Saint but had found no clues.
Since this "God of Misfortune" Gu Xi was the illegitimate son of the Heavenly Dao and so close to it... perhaps she could receive hints from the Heavenly Dao through Gu Xi.
Therefore, she appeared.
