Primordial Era: Bumping into Nuwa at the Start!

Bai Chen approached Nuwa and took out the three lotus seeds he had received. He voiced his confusion:

"Nuwa, help this Great God analyze this. Should I eat these three lotus seeds, refine them into magical treasures, or plant them to cultivate them into spiritual roots?"

Bai Chen was truly perplexed. He wanted to eat the three lotus seeds, but they would be gone in one bite, which felt like a waste.

However, if he refined them into magical treasures, the materials were too scarce.

Cultivating them into spiritual roots would take too long.

What a dilemma!

"Although these three lotus seeds are extraordinary, they are too few. It's best to cultivate them into spiritual roots!"

Nuwa immediately recognized the extraordinary nature of the three lotus seeds in Bai Chen's hand, knowing they were definitely not from ordinary spiritual roots.

After some analysis, Nuwa helped Bai Chen make the best choice.

Meanwhile, the situation with the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans was dire, especially for the Dragon and Qilin Clans.

The Dragon and Qilin Clans had suffered devastating losses of their elites in the battle in the Western Primordial Era.

Furthermore, the three clans had accumulated great karmic debt due to their struggle for dominance in the Primordial Era, causing many of their members to experience a decline in cultivation and fall in their realms.

It was unknown who leaked the information, but the myriad races previously suppressed by the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans began to show signs of rebellion.

The Dragon and Qilin Clans were too weak to suppress them and turned a blind eye to the actions of the scaled and beast races.

As the Phoenix Clan had withdrawn their troops early, their strength was still sufficient to deter the myriad flying beast races. Thus, the flying beast races remained relatively obedient and did not dare to act too presumptuously.

A blink of an eye, and countless eons passed.

The Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans were burdened by karmic debt. Ancestor Dragon and First Qilin, despite recuperating for so many eons, found their injuries worsening instead of being suppressed.

They truly feared that the injuries inflicted by the Demon Ancestor Luohu would erupt one day, causing them to perish instantly.

As for Yuan Feng, although she had fled quickly back then and was not injured by the Demon Ancestor Luohu, her cultivation had regressed significantly due to the backlash of karmic debt. She was already on the verge of falling from the Half-step Dao Proving realm.

With Ancestor Dragon, First Qilin, and Yuan Feng, the three former overlords of the Primordial Era in such a state, the condition of the other clan members could only be imagined.

Ancestor Dragon, Yuan Feng, and First Qilin, following the Great Dao's decree, had each begun their own actions in the hidden currents of fate.

Yuan Feng entrusted the three Phoenix Clan elders, Great Kui, Little Kui, and Azure Bird, to Queen Mother of the West, and also gifted her some of the Phoenix Clan's treasures.

Queen Mother of the West also promised that if the Phoenix Clan ever encountered danger, she would do her best to preserve a sliver of their survival.

Of course, Yuan Feng could not place all the hopes of the Phoenix Clan solely on Queen Mother of the West.

Therefore, she ordered Mystic Sky Fire Phoenix Jin Ning to travel to Buzhou Mountain to invite Nuwa and Bai Chen.

Investing in multiple parties was better than investing in just one.

Upon seeing Mystic Sky Fire Phoenix Jin Ning, Bai Chen was overjoyed and danced with delight.

Great God Bai Chen had waited for so long, so long that the flowers had almost withered.

Fortunately, the wait was finally over, and he could soon inherit Yuan Feng's fortune. He was ecstatic.

Originally, Yuan Feng had only invited Bai Chen and Nuwa. As for Fuxi, he shamelessly tagged along.

Fuxi was worried about Nuwa and feared that it might be Yuan Feng's ploy to scheme against her.

He decided to accompany Nuwa to protect her.

Bai Chen could only chuckle at this. Fuxi's cultivation level was a complete drag on Nuwa.

If they truly encountered danger, it would be a blessing if Nuwa didn't have to protect him.

Phoenix Perch Mountain...

Because of Nuwa and Bai Chen's arrival, Yuan Feng ordered a banquet to be held in their honor.

"Greetings, fellow Daoist Yuan Feng!"

Although Nuwa had come to terms with many things over the eons and realized there was something suspicious about taking Bai Chen away back then, upon seeing Yuan Feng, Nuwa still felt guilty about "stealing the cat" previously.

Even though Yuan Feng had tacitly agreed, the fact that Nuwa had "stolen the cat" was undeniable.

"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, no need for such formalities."

Yuan Feng gestured for Nuwa to rise and then pulled Bai Chen over, lifting him up.

"Bai Chen, you're getting fatter and fatter!"

"It seems fellow Daoist Nuwa has taken very good care of you!"

Because of Bai Chen's arrival, Yuan Feng momentarily forgot her worries.

It had to be said that Bai Chen's title as the Primordial Era's number one Worry-Dispelling Beast was not just for show.

"Yuan Feng, this Great God needs to correct you. It is this Great God who has taken good care of Nuwa, not Nuwa who has taken good care of this Great God."

Bai Chen crossed his claws over his chest and sternly corrected Yuan Feng's words.

What kind of existence was Great God Bai Chen? Did he need others to take care of him?

Ridiculous!

"Yuan Feng, hurry up and serve the meal. This Great God is hungry. Bring the blood food first!"

Bai Chen leaped onto its seat, roaring for the meal to begin.

Bai Chen wasn't actually hungry; it had just gone too long without eating blood food.

For so many epochs on Buzhou Mountain, it had only eaten spiritual fruits and roots, never blood food, and its mouth had long since grown tired of the blandness.

After all, Great God Bai Chen was an Innate Divine Beast, an Innate Divine Beast that ate blood food, not a vegetarian one.

Now that it had arrived at Phoenix Perch Mountain, it had to eat blood food to satisfy its cravings.

"Little White, you're an Innate Divine Beast, can you pay a little attention to etiquette?"

Nuwa felt that Bai Chen's behavior was embarrassing her.

It made her seem like an incompetent teacher, as if she hadn't allowed Bai Chen to eat anything on Buzhou Mountain.

"It's fine. Bai Chen has always been like this. I'm already used to it."

As Yuan Feng finished speaking, she arranged for members of the Phoenix Clan to serve the meal.

Spiritual dishes were successively brought to the table. Among them, the main course was Dragon Liver and Qilin Fillet, which were blood foods that Bai Chen liked.

That Dragon Liver and Qilin Fillet was Bai Chen's favorite dish.

When Bai Chen had stayed with the Phoenix Clan before, this Dragon Liver and Qilin Fillet was a must-have at every meal.

It was made from the liver of a pure-blooded Dragon Clan High-level Golden Immortal and the chest meat of a pure-blooded Qilin Clan High-level Golden Immortal.

Only in the Phoenix Clan could one eat such a dish!

Although there were similar delicacies in the Heavenly Court in later generations—Dragon Liver and Phoenix Marrow—those were from mixed-blood dragons and phoenixes. The dragons were formed from carp leaping over the Dragon Gate, and the phoenixes were similar.

After all, although the Dragon Clan was not doing well in later generations, they were still the rulers of the Four Seas.

With Nuwa, a Saint, as their backer, the Phoenix Clan wouldn't dare to catch pure-blooded phoenixes to make dishes, even if the Heavenly Court had ten times the courage.

Bai Chen, holding a jade disc, flew to Fuxi's table. Holding a half-eaten dragon liver, it asked Fuxi:

"Sis-con, do you want to eat dragon liver?"

"Hmph!"

"I don't want it!"

Fuxi snorted coldly and refused sternly.

Bai Chen had already taken a few bites of the dragon liver in its hand. Asking if he wanted to eat it was clearly intentional humiliation.

That damned Evil Beast, Bai Chen!

"Alright!"

Bai Chen casually swept its claw and snatched the dragon liver from Fuxi's bowl into its own.

The Dragon Clan was almost finished now; there probably weren't many High-level Golden Immortals left.

If it didn't eat more of the Dragon Clan High-level Golden Immortal's liver now, it wouldn't be able to eat it later.

Actually, Bai Chen had a slight suspicion that what it was eating were leftovers, not freshly killed ones.

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

Fuxi was furious. Bai Chen reaching its claw into his bowl to take food was simply going too far.

"Sis-con, you said yourself you didn't want it, so don't throw a tantrum with this Great God."

Bai Chen felt it was in the right. Fuxi had said he didn't want it, so he couldn't blame Bai Chen.

"You~"

Fuxi was so angry he gritted his teeth. However, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he decided to fight fire with fire.

Fuxi looked at the untouched Qilin Fillet in Bai Chen's bowl and said:

"Bai Chen, do you want to eat the Qilin Fillet?"

"This Great God eats it!"

The moment Bai Chen answered, it immediately snatched the Qilin Fillet from Fuxi's bowl as well.

Fuxi wanted to stop it, but it was already too late.

One must know that Bai Chen's agility was seven times that of an ordinary Innate Deity. Competing with Bai Chen in reaction speed and agility was simply asking for humiliation.
