Great Sage Fuxi, Noble and Virtuous!

"Born from Pangu's essence, how long has it been since its appearance in the world? Yet it is terrifyingly powerful!"

An ancient deity, who had lived through countless epochs, witnessed the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity, and seen the clash between Dao and Demon, spoke softly, "It truly makes us, who have toiled and refined ourselves for eons, feel ashamed..."

"Great Sage Fuxi, don't you have anything to say?"

The divine voice echoed, piercing through infinite time and space, resonating in the void where mortals could not hear. It reached Phoenix Perch Mountain, inquiring of a very special powerful being.

"Pangu's essence taking form, what does it have to do with me, Fuxi?" someone replied with a helpless sigh. "Fellow Daoist, do not overthink things... I can guarantee it with my Divine Spark."

Across the undulating Phoenix Perch Mountain range, a majestic river surged. It was so wondrous, flowing out from the river of time and eventually returning to it.

On a large stone platform by the river, a divine being with a human body and a dragon tail sat coiled, its tail curled up.

Beside him, a zither lay placed. It was crafted from a paulownia tree, shaped like a phoenix perched on a parasol tree, symbolizing its form.

To the other side, a small table held divine fruits and immortal wine, making one's mouth water.

At the table's foot, a fishing rod was propped up, its fine line dangling down into the great river, the hook straight.

A palm-sized phoenix, its tiny claws firmly gripping the divine being's shoulder, stared intently at the fishing hook swinging in the river. A suspicious drop of clear liquid hung from its lips.

Fishing in the river of time while savoring immortal fruits and wine, and occasionally playing a tune on a whim... this was supposed to be a very enjoyable activity.

Great Sage Fuxi was indeed happy.

--Until someone ruined the mood.

When an ancient, innate powerful being spoke, asking the question buried deep in his heart, the circle of communication exclusive to Grand Unity powerhouses fell silent. One by one, divine beings turned their heads, their gazes subtly shifting, instantly making this place the center of attention.

Originally spectators watching the grand opening of the Witch-Demon Cataclysm, they had now inexplicably become actors... Fuxi was unhappy.

"Words should not be spoken carelessly... Consider me, Fuxi, a newborn, tender novice born in this epoch, according to the records of heaven and earth. It is only through the favor of my fellow Daoists that I have earned the respectful title of Great Sage."

"How can I be associated with the supreme and unparalleled Pangu?" he asked, his face solemn and extremely serious. "Furthermore, the two Daoists from the Sun Star paid me and my sister a visit not long ago."

"Di Jun and Tai Yi, with the world in their hearts, are worried about the escalating conflicts between different races in this era, caused by inherent natures, ideologies, and other disparities..."

"To prevent these issues from expanding in the years to come, ultimately leading to an irreconcilable racial blood war, an epochal calamity..."

"Daoist Di Jun possesses great compassion and a grand vow—he expressed his aspirations and decided to contribute his humble efforts to the construction of a beautiful Primordial Era."

"To bring peace to heaven and earth, and harmony to all races!"

Great Sage Fuxi spoke with great compassion for the world, "To achieve this, he intends to undertake a monumental event unprecedented in history!"

"To establish the supreme Heavenly Court, where outstanding elites from both Innate Divine Beings and Postnatal Demon Spirits can gather. They will communicate through language as much as possible, rather than war, to resolve their differing views and ideas."

"Ultimately, to forge them into one race—the Demon Clan!"

"To break the barriers between races and achieve harmonious unity in spirit and thought..."

"What noble integrity!" As Great Sage Fuxi spoke, he was moved to tears, a single drop of clear liquid falling from his eye. "I, Fuxi, have been touched by Daoist Di Jun's sincerity... and have resolved to contribute to the great cause of the Demon Clan."

"If that is the case... how can I associate myself with those Witch Clan fellows who constantly clamor about attacking the Demon Clan and initiating a great massacre?!"

"Although I, Fuxi, emerged late in time, my principles and integrity are brilliant and flawless... I can sincerely swear with a clear conscience!"

This flawless and majestic divine being, at this moment, stood with righteous indignation, a torrent of pure energy surging towards the heavens, shaking the sea of stars!

It was truly moving!

Heaven itself seemed to acknowledge the nobility of his character at that moment!

The gods witnessed it, seemingly stunned into silence.

"Awooo!"

"Woof woof!"

Sounds like wolf howls, yet also like dog barks, suddenly erupted beside Great Sage Fuxi.

The sounds were tinged with a childish, milky tone, as if they had only recently been born.

--It was a four-legged beast, black and white in color, that crawled over, its round eyes blinking. It whimpered "Awooo, awooo" innocently.

However, it succeeded in making Great Sage Fuxi's expression turn subtle, and caused the faces of many ancient Grand Unity and Innate Divine Beings who witnessed this scene to become incredibly strange.

Fuxi unnaturally touched his chest, feeling his heart beating strongly—it was still there, he hadn't been eaten.

Then, without a word, he picked up a spiritual fruit. He applied a slight force to his fingertips, piercing the skin and releasing a fragrant aroma that attracted the four-legged beast's attention.

He dangled it before the beast, shaking it back and forth, causing its head to follow the rhythm. Then, Fuxi flicked his wrist—

And threw it away!

He didn't know how far he threw it... perhaps millions of miles.

"Awooo!"

The beast let out a long howl towards the sky, resembling a wolf's cry.

It moved its four short legs, running with effort, occasionally twitching its nose, heading resolutely in a certain direction.

Well, it was precisely the opposite direction Fuxi had thrown it.

"Pat, pat!"

Fuxi casually clapped his hands, his expression becoming serene, as if nothing had happened.

If not for the slightly awkward atmosphere that had settled in the air.

"Fellow Daoist, you are being overly sensitive."

After a long while, someone broke the stiff silence—it was the ancient Grand Unity who had just questioned Fuxi. He chuckled, "Who among us doesn't know that you, fellow Daoist, sacrificed your own origin to ensure your sister's well-being, allowing the Great Sage Nuwa to be born early?"

"Because of that, you were born later... So, how could you be involved with the Ancestral Witches?"

"In fact, my previous doubts were only because you are skilled in deducing heavenly secrets and can perceive all information in the world... That's why I wanted to ask you to investigate the secrets of the Twelve Ancestral Witches."

"So that's how it is!" Great Sage Fuxi was slightly taken aback, sighing in annoyance, "This is my fault; I judged a gentleman with a petty mind."

"Not at all, not at all..." the Grand Unity said hastily, yielding, "Great Sage Fuxi, your character is noble, your integrity is outstanding... Who in the world doesn't know? Who doesn't understand?"

"How could you be petty?"

"It's my fault for not explaining myself clearly... The fault lies with me! The fault lies with me!"
