Lie Down and Be Carried, Dayi and the Imperial Daughter

"First, we'll enter Fengxi, then visit Kunlun; passing through Xumi, our cultivation will reach the Nine Netherworlds; the depths of the Four Seas, the vastness of the Starry Sky, all lie beneath our feet..."

Feng Xi held the travel itinerary distributed to each member of the diplomatic delegation by the Witch Clan's logistics department, looking utterly bewildered.

"What happened to the Ancestral Witches being in hardship and facing the entire world?" he asked, completely confused. "This situation of establishing diplomatic relations everywhere, does it look like we're being ganged up on?"

Not long ago, he had been deeply moved.

--How great the Ancestral Witches are!

For their ideals, for building a beautiful Primordial Era world, they didn't hesitate to challenge the entire heavens and earth, to challenge the dominant voices of this era!

For a fleeting moment, Feng Xi's blood boiled.

He wanted to improve himself desperately, striving to share even the slightest, insignificant pressure with the Ancestral Witches who were struggling hard and carrying heavy burdens!

But now?

Reality seemed to be laughing, telling him, and whispering in his ear--

"Young man, don't overthink it. Just lie down, and I'll carry you all!"

"Oh, right, the prerequisite is that you don't mess up—when I'm leading a five-on-one fight, you just remember to hold your lanes."

Regardless of Feng Xi's passion and emotion, it all vanished at this moment.

"Actually, I can understand visiting other great beings," Feng Xi said, looking at Dayi, the logistics minister of Houtu's department. "But for a journey through the starry sky, we're going to the Sun Star?!"

"To have in-depth exchanges with Di Jun and Tai Yi, two Great Divine Ability Users? Aren't you afraid of directly igniting a fuse?"

"And you... you're actually coming along too?!"

Feng Xi's eye twitched. His gaze flickered to the bow on the rack beside him, and some words he couldn't bring himself to say.

The hero who shot down the sun, as one of the main members of the delegation, going to the Sun Star...

Well, the mere thought of the scene made him dizzy.

"War is war, business is business," Dayi said, his temperament being very magnanimous. He didn't mind Feng Xi's slight impoliteness and instead patiently explained, "It's very normal to compete and cooperate at the same time."

"Simply killing enemies doesn't have much effect on powerhouses at the Grand Unity realm—because Grand Unity beings are eternal and free in the endless time and space, able to reverse the origin of their lives back to the Tai Yi stage within the Innate Five Primes... to the moment of creating something from nothing."

"Who can even eliminate 'nothing'? So, theoretically, the Dao fruit of a Grand Unity being is eternally indestructible."

"What can be destroyed are only their external manifestations—like their bodies, their Primordial Spirits... but their true spirit and Dao fruit, transformed into a speck of Innate Undying Spiritual Light, will naturally endure for eternity."

"After ten million years, they can awaken from their slumber, easily reclaim their cultivation, and dominate the Primordial Era."

Feng Xi clicked his tongue, yearning for the Grand Unity realm even more.

Who wouldn't envy being able to mess around without dying?

"Of course," Dayi said, seeing the longing on Feng Xi's face, a look that many beings who understood the secrets of Grand Unity would show. He shook his head slightly and smiled, "Self-awareness, values, these are also considered external manifestations of a Grand Unity being... so while Grand Unity beings are immortal, they also run the risk of their consciousness being formatted by enemies, ultimately becoming an unthinking tool—like an Innate Spiritual Treasure."

Dayi's words struck Feng Xi like a thunderclap, leaving him dumbfounded.

Innate Spiritual Treasures originated like this?

The Dao fruits of Grand Unity beings!

Behind every spiritual treasure were the blood and tears of Grand Unity powerhouses!

No trade, no harm!

"However, this self-awareness is most closely linked to the undying spiritual light, so it's not easy to format it," Dayi said in a gentle tone. "It requires a gap in cultivation of ten times, or even dozens of times, to achieve this."

"But who among the top Great Divine Ability Users of this era can surpass them by that much?"

"Therefore, when facing powerful beings like Di Jun and Tai Yi, sometimes simply shouting about fighting and killing isn't very useful."

Their scale was too large, their foundation too deep, their strength too formidable!

Their vitality was too tenacious after reaching the peak of cultivation; they couldn't even die if they wanted to.

At most, they would just go offline temporarily... and return as good as new after finishing their meal/recharging/sleeping!

"We need to assimilate them!"

Dayi said.

"Assimilate them, influence them with our thoughts, make them change, and ultimately become comrades on our side."

"Is that really possible?" Feng Xi asked, half-believing.

"Why not?" Dayi smiled. "In the sacrifices of the Human Race's deities, isn't there someone named Eastern Emperor Tai Yi?"

"And among the Human Kings and Sage Emperors, Emperor Ku has a murky relationship with Di Jun."

Feng Xi was stunned.

"So, enemies today might not necessarily be enemies tomorrow... the situation will change, and needs will change."

"What is eternal is not friends or enemies, but interests."

"With sufficient interests, even enemies will sit down and negotiate with you," Dayi commented objectively. "The purpose of our Witch Clan's existence, the process of the Human Race rising to become the protagonists of the world, is not about how many enemies we kill."

"Mere slaughter cannot solve problems effectively—because in the end, you'll find that you have more and more enemies."

"Find the differences and commonalities between us and them. Temporarily set aside the differences and propose cooperation based on common ground, binding each other with mutual benefit..."

"Fighting and killing is a lower path; subtle influence is the true way," Dayi said gently. "Little one, you still have much to learn."

Feng Xi didn't know how he left the logistics department.

His eyes were filled with confusion, and his steps were light and airy.

Understanding the cooperation and conflicts between Grand Unity powerhouses, and the unpredictable shifts in alliances, left him with a profound sense of awe.

Suddenly, he snapped back to reality, a thought striking him.

He looked in Dayi's direction, his eyes filled with deep admiration.

"If Human King Emperor Ku is truly related to Heavenly Emperor Di Jun... then Big Shot Dayi is truly amazing!"

"Who was Emperor Ku's daughter again?"

"Heng'e!"

"Also known as Chang'e."

Chang'e was an Imperial Daughter! The Heavenly Emperor's daughter!

And Dayi had married her.

Then, Dayi performed an earth-shattering feat – shooting the suns!

"Mythology records that Dayi was greatly rewarded by the Heavenly Emperor for his great merit in shooting the suns," Feng Xi mused, his gossipy soul burning brightly. "But he also earned much jealousy... so the Heavenly Emperor listened to slander and banished Dayi and Chang'e to the mortal world."

"Chang'e, unable to bear the hardships of mortal life, found a spiritual medicine and flew to the moon, leaving Dayi to die of grief."

"Now, let's look at it from a different perspective—"

"Ten suns were wreaking havoc on the world. The Heavenly Emperor bestowed a bow and arrows, originally intending for Dayi to teach those unruly brats a lesson, just a symbolic gesture."

"But Dayi ended up killing his brothers-in-law... The Heavenly Emperor smiled on the surface, but was furious inside."

"So, after the reward, he used slander as an excuse and directly banished his daughter and son-in-law."

"Then Dayi's family also had disputes and conflicts due to the sun-shooting incident... Chang'e, in a fit of pique, returned to her family home and went to the moon."

"Leaving Dayi alone on the ground... His career was ruined, and his wife was gone..."
