Primordial Era: My First Encounter with Nuwa!

"Am I that kind of beast?"

Bai Chen stared at Xuanming, clearly displeased and huffing.

Great God Bai Chen considered Xuanming a friend, and for her to think of him this way was simply outrageous.

"You are!"

Xuanming nodded, confirming this without giving Bai Chen any face at all.

(●⊙(Work)⊙●)

Bai Chen felt awkward and immediately broke free from Xuanming's demonic claws, transmitting a message:

"Xuanming, I'm telling you, this Innate Gourd Vine has the potential to Prove the Dao, but not the destiny for it.

The day it attempts to Prove the Dao will be the day it perishes!"

"If you keep it alive, you can observe its failed attempt to Prove the Dao, thereby learning and accumulating experience."

Bai Chen wasn't speaking nonsense. The Innate Gourd Vine indeed had the potential but not the destiny to Prove the Dao.

When the Innate Gourd Vine failed to Prove the Dao in later generations, many Great Gods of the Primordial Era were watching, witnessing the scene firsthand.

Unfortunately, the Innate Gourd Vine's failed attempt to Prove the Dao served as a warning to the Great Gods of the Primordial Era, showing them the consequences of failing.

"How do you know this?"

Xuanming was somewhat skeptical of Bai Chen's words, as the Fat Cat's claims were a bit outlandish.

"Xuanming, actually, Great God Bai Chen here has an Innate Divine Ability, which is to divine fates."

Bai Chen could only make things up on the spot, as he couldn't possibly reveal his true identity.

"Lazy cat, just tell me what benefits you received from it."

Xuanming was even more convinced that Bai Chen was letting it go for some personal gain.

"Xuanming, as long as you stop, I'll give Houtu something good later. It will be beneficial to Houtu's origin."

Bai Chen pondered for a moment before showing his sincerity.

As for any losses incurred, Bai Chen had no intention of covering them himself; there were always suckers willing to foot the bill.

"Really?"

Xuanming was a little disbelieving. She had known Bai Chen for quite some time. Despite all the flesh on this Fat Cat, it was actually very stingy and miserly.

"Truer than pearls!"

Bai Chen patted his chest and guaranteed it. Once he extorted the Innate Gourd Vine, that sucker, he would give a portion to Houtu.

"Fine!"

Xuanming agreed. She said a few words to the other Ancestor Witches, and Dijiang and the other ten sister-complex Ancestor Witches immediately stopped their attacks, behaving very obediently.

The Twelve Ancestor Witches were born and took form successively. However, when it came to Houtu's transformation, an accident occurred: her earth origin was incomplete.

Even after Houtu took form, her strength was weaker than the other Ancestor Witches, and her temperament was more peaceful.

Now that Bai Chen claimed he could provide something to nourish Houtu's origin and help her, the Ancestor Witches were cooperating.

"Innate Gourd Vine, I've already told them to stop. You should fulfill your promise now."

"As long as the location you provide is correct, Great God Bai Chen will swear by the Great Dao to settle this grievance, and the Twelve Ancestor Witches will not attack you without cause!"

Bai Chen stared at the Innate Gourd Vine, demanding the location of the Hong Meng Liang Tian Chi.

"Okay!"

The Innate Gourd Vine immediately transmitted its voice, revealing the location of the secret realm where the Hong Meng Liang Tian Chi was hidden to Bai Chen.

Upon receiving the location of the Hong Meng Liang Tian Chi, Bai Chen's mouth twitched, and a wicked smile appeared:

"Innate Gourd Vine, by the way, Great God Bai Chen heard that the Innate Breathing Soil is in your possession, right?"

The Innate Breathing Soil, also known as the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil or Nine-Colored Breathing Soil, was the key material for Nuwa's creation of humans.

According to Bai Chen's knowledge, the Innate Breathing Soil was originally held by the Innate Gourd Vine.

Later, after the Innate Gourd Vine failed to Prove the Dao, Nuwa participated in its dismemberment and dug it out from the Innate Gourd Vine's root system.

Chapter 16: Innate Breathing Soil!

Bai Chen was determined to obtain the Innate Breathing Soil.

As Nuwa's close friend, Great God Bai Chen intended to secure the Innate Breathing Soil in advance to avoid any unforeseen circumstances and to keep it safe for Nuwa.

Nuwa: Lazy cat, you unfilial son, you're trying to steal my destiny!

"Bai Chen, what do you mean by that?"

The Innate Gourd Vine's tone turned cold. It did not deny the matter of the Innate Breathing Soil, knowing that since Bai Chen dared to bring it up, denial would be useless.

"Innate Gourd Vine, hand over the Innate Breathing Soil, and we can consider this matter completely settled."

"Otherwise, don't blame Great God Bai Chen for doing something that will displease you."

Bai Chen laid his cards on the table, threatening the Innate Gourd Vine.

It wants the location of the Hong Meng Liang Tian Chi, and it wants the Innate Breathing Soil from the Innate Gourd Vine too!

"Bai Chen, don't forget the Great Dao Oath you just made."

Bai Chen's blatant demand enraged the Innate Gourd Vine, which warned the other party with a Great Dao Oath.

The Innate Gourd Vine never expected Bai Chen to be so greedy.

No, this wasn't just greed anymore; it was insatiable avarice.

"That's right, this Great God did indeed make a Great Dao Oath, and the Twelve Ancestor Witches won't make a move against you."

Bai Chen spread his claws innocently, then grinned wickedly, "But this Great God can tell others your whereabouts, like Ancestor Luohu, Ancestor Hongjun, Ancestor Xingchen, Ancestor Yang Mei... and so on."

"Innate Gourd Vine, others might not know their backgrounds, but as a Chaos Demon God, you should know their backgrounds, right?"

Bai Chen was an honest and trustworthy good cat, naturally, he wouldn't lie or do anything that violated his oath.

But if it was something he hadn't promised, he couldn't be blamed.

That's right, Bai Chen was playing a word game with the Innate Gourd Vine, twisting words.

What was wrong with him openly playing with the Great Dao Oath? As long as he didn't violate the Great Dao Oath, it was fine!

At this moment, the Innate Gourd Vine truly witnessed Bai Chen's shamelessness.

He had cultivated in the chaos for countless eons and then in the Primordial Era for countless eons, yet he had never seen such a shameless being.

"Bai Chen, don't try to scare me. Ancestor Luohu and the others are noble beings, and you, a mere Innate Divine Beast, cannot possibly know them."

However, the Innate Gourd Vine doubted Bai Chen's words.

It didn't believe that an ant as weak as Bai Chen could know beings like Ancestor Luohu and Ancestor Yang Mei.

To put it bluntly, even in his prime, he had to bow and scrape when meeting Yang Mei, Hongjun, Luohu, and the others.

And Bai Chen was just a small Innate Divine Beast.

"Innate Gourd Vine, did you sense the anomaly in the Western Primordial Era earlier?"

"That was Ancestor Luohu at Mount Sumeru, creating a disturbance to Prove the Dao."

"And Ancestor Hongjun's dojo is on Jade Capital Mountain."

Bai Chen directly revealed the locations of Ancestor Luohu's and Ancestor Hongjun's dojos.

It didn't know Ancestor Luohu or Ancestor Hongjun, but it knew where their dojos were located.

Bai Chen's words made the Innate Gourd Vine panic.

It had sensed some of the great disturbances in the Western Primordial Era from within its secret realm.

At the time, it had guessed that it was caused by some Chaos Demon God who hadn't completely died.

Now, Bai Chen's words confirmed its suspicions about the situation in the Western Primordial Era.

"Innate Gourd Vine, if they knew your location, they would probably use you to pave the way for their Dao Proving, or refine you into a Spiritual Treasure."

Seeing that the Innate Gourd Vine seemed scared, Bai Chen pressed his advantage.

Bai Chen wasn't just trying to scare the Innate Gourd Vine; Innate Spiritual Roots could indeed be refined into magical treasures.

Later, the two, Zhun Ti and Jie Yin, who were born from Innate Spiritual Roots, cut off their own bodies during their Dao Proving to use them as Spiritual Treasures.

"Bai Chen, do you truly intend to fight me to the death?"

Bai Chen's threat completely ignited the Innate Gourd Vine's fury.

"Innate Gourd Vine, as if you would let this Great God go. If you succeed in Proving the Dao, you will definitely come looking for trouble with this Great God."

(●'◡'●)ﾉ♥

Facing the Innate Gourd Vine's threat, Bai Chen exposed the other party while raising his little claws in contempt.

"Bai Chen, leave now. I can make a Great Dao Oath to end our grievances, and I will never attack you without cause in the future."

The Innate Breathing Soil was too important to the Innate Gourd Vine; it had brought it from the chaos into the Primordial Era.

Over these eons, it had recovered so much strength by absorbing the power of Buzhou Mountain and the nourishment of the Innate Breathing Soil.

If it handed over the Innate Breathing Soil, the Innate Gourd Vine estimated that its chances of successfully Proving the Dao would decrease by at least twenty percent.

Therefore, the Innate Gourd Vine was unwilling to hand over the Innate Breathing Soil. To protect it, it was willing to make an oath not to seek revenge on Bai Chen and to let him go.

(●?_?●)╭∩╮

Bai Chen revealed his fierce triangular eyes and once again raised a friendly gesture, greeting the Innate Gourd Vine:

"This Great God doesn't need it. Hurry up and give this Great God the Innate Breathing Soil."

"Innate Gourd Vine, if you succeed in Proving the Dao, feel free to come find this Great God to settle the score. This Great God fears you not!"

Bai Chen wasn't afraid of the Innate Gourd Vine seeking revenge later because there was no way it could succeed in Proving the Dao.

With its current state, it would fail to Prove the Dao even with the Innate Breathing Soil, leaving only its remains.
