Primordial World: I Started by Staging a Bump into Nuwa!
When the Wu and Yao tribes fought a great war, Dao Ancestor Hongjun divided heaven and earth, the Yao tribe ruled the heavens, and the Wu tribe ruled the earth. Houtu was the Earthly Dao Saint and the Earthly Dao Spokesperson.
Judging from all indications, the Witch Clan has a close relationship with the word 'earth'.
The Earthly Marriage " also involves the element of "earth," which is why Nuwa couldn't help but think of the Witch Clan.
"Earthly Marriage is marriage between humans and Witch Clan!" Bai Chen nodded in agreement.
"???"
Nuwa was a little confused when she heard this. Although she had imagined that the Earthly Marriage was related to the Witch Clan, she did not expect that it was related to the human race that she had created!
Moreover, given the arrogant nature of the Witch Clan, they look down on even the great innate Witch Clan, so how could they possibly intermarry with the human race, the race they created later?
"The Wu and Yao races have been fighting for so long. Much of the Pangu Essence Blood in the Pangu Blood Pool has been used by the Ancestral Witch to enhance the strength of the Witch Clan, resulting in a gradual decrease in the number of the Witch Clan children that can be conceived in the Pangu Blood Pool, and their military strength cannot keep up."
Because of his relationship with Houtu and Xuanming, Bai Chen had heard the two witches talk about this matter and knew that the Witch Clan's military strength was insufficient.
"That's true!"
Nuwa nodded, and after Bai Chen mentioned that the Witch Clan's military strength couldn't keep up, she added one more thing:
"Bad Cat, but there's one more thing you forgot to mention: Houtu and Xuanming have been stealing a lot of Pangu Essence Blood to nourish you."
The supply of Pangu Essence Blood in the Pangu Blood Pool could not keep up, partly due to the consumption by the Witch Clan itself, but also because of two traitors within their own ranks— the Ancestral Witch Xuanming and Houtu.
"I, the great god, did not instigate those sisters to steal. It was their own choice, and it has nothing to do with me!"
Bai Chen felt that this matter needed to be clarified to avoid ruining his reputation as the Great God Bai Chen".
Houtu and Xuanming: Little White (Bad Cat), you clearly instigated us and kept hinting that you wanted to drink Pangu Essence Blood.
"Let's get down to business!"
Seeing that Bai Chen -topic, Nuwa reached out and flicked Bai Chen on the head, signaling the cat to quickly get back to the point.
"Nuwa, the Earthly Marriage is the intermarriage between the Witch Clan and the human tribe, thus giving birth to a new race— the Witch-Human Race —to make up for the problem of the Witch Clan's insufficient military strength."
All three types of marriage— Heavenly Marriage, Earthly Marriage, and Human Marriage— have their value.
The Heavenly Marriage of Di Jun and Xihe was the union of the sun and the moon, and also the first legitimate wedding in the Primordial World.
Thus, they taught the marriage rituals of all races in the Primordial World, which is the reason for the existence of Heavenly Marriage.
The existence of Earthly Marriage was to help the Witch Clan replenish its military strength and give birth to the Witch-Human Race.
The Jiuli Tribe, a descendant of the human race, was a descendant of the Witch-Human Race.
It is evident that the practice of marriage between people from different regions was also a prelude to the later Battle of Zhuolu between the human race, where soldiers fought for the throne.
As for Human Marriage, it is about teaching people etiquette and manners.
Upon Nuwa the Witch Clan and the human tribe had intermarried and given birth to the Witch-Human Race, Nuwa frowned and said:
"Bad Cat, as far as I know, the Witch Clan has secretly intermarried with many powerful innate clans in order to reproduce like all other races, but they have all failed."
"A human race that acquired its race intermarried with the Witch Clan, and was able to produce offspring who inherited the Witch Clan's bloodline?"
Nuwa was somewhat skeptical that the Witch Clan could intermarry with the human race and give birth to a new race, since everyone knew that the Witch Clan could only be conceived through the Pangu Blood Pool.
Furthermore, the human race is physically weak, so it's a bit outrageous to expect them to give birth to the descendants of the Witch Clan, which are formed from the Pangu Essence Blood!
Seeing that Nuwa didn't believe him, Bai Chen said irritably:
"Nuwa, you established the path to sainthood for the human race, Saint Taiqing established the Human Religion, teaching the human race to attain sainthood."
"If the human race can produce two Heavenly Dao Saint and intermarry with the Witch Clan, what's impossible about them propagating the Witch Clan's bloodline?"
It's indeed absurd that intermarriage between humans and Witch Clan could produce Witch Clan descendants, but it's even more absurd that humans could produce two saints!
After Bai Chen said that, it seemed that it wasn't so far-fetched that Nuwa could give birth to the descendants of the Witch Clan, and that the Witch-Human Race could be born.
Seeing that Nuwa was lost in thought and hadn't released him yet, Bai Chen cried out:
"Nuwa, I've finished speaking, please release me now."
Nuwa Bai Chen meowing, Nuwa had no choice but to untie the cat.
After regaining his freedom from the cat-like insects, Bai Chen immediately wanted to leave and return to his Zu Fei Palace.
Bai Chen packed away everything in his dojo to prevent Nuwa from threatening him again in the future.
Nuwa thought Bai Chen was going to run away from home, become a wild cat, and go find Houtu, so she immediately brought him back.
"From now on, you'll stay by my side and aren't allowed to run off and do anything bad."
Nuwa placed Bai Chen on her lap and then began to meditate.
As for Bai Chen, since he couldn't escape, he saw that Nuwa neither lectured him nor spanked him.
So it climbed onto Nuwa's shoulder, stretched, and then curled up into a ball and obediently went to sleep.
"Your Majesty, the Great God Fuxi requests an audience."
While Nuwa was meditating, her chief steward Jin Ning came to report.
After Nuwa opened her beautiful eyes, she pulled the white fur ball off her shoulder and shook it.
∩(●?(工)?●)∩Aww~~
Bai Chen, who had been forcibly shaken awake by Nuwa, stretched, exhaled a breath of stale air, and glared at Nuwa, saying irritably:
"Nuwa, you disturbed my sleep, and I am very unhappy now."
(●?(工)?●)
Bai Chen revealed his triangular eyes, his resentment overflowing because he had been awakened and forcibly turned on by Nuwa.
"Bad Cat, my brother's here. Hang yourself from the beam and act convincingly."
Because Fuxi was the victim, Nuwa, as his sister, had to give Fuxi an explanation.
But Nuwa felt that since this had already happened, there was no point in punishing Bai Chen, so she could only go through the motions and put on a show for Fuxi.
Bai Chen was very unhappy when Nuwa asked him to pretend to be suspended in the air.
"Nuwa, why should I, this great goddess, be hung up like this?"
"It was clearly that damned monster Fuxi who came to my territory; he should be hung up!"
Bai Chen thought Nuwa was going too far, considering this was his territory, the territory of the Great God Bai Chen.
Is it appropriate for Fuxi, an outsider, to come to the territory of the Great God Bai Chen, and for Great God Bai Chen master, to be hung up and put on a show?
Obviously not appropriate!
"Bad Cat, don't forget you're the perpetrator, and my brother is the victim."
Seeing Bai Chen's rebellious behavior, Nuwa reached out and pinched the cat's chubby, round face, reminding it of its ways.
Bai Chen flicked Nuwa's hand away with his little paws, then crossed his paws in front of his chest and said:
"Nonsense, I, the great god, am the victim."
"This great god kindly helped those three ungrateful wretches, but not only did they not appreciate my kindness, they turned around and bit me, falsely accusing me and ruining my reputation!"
The concept of a victim depends on who is at the center of the issue.
If we center our attention on Fuxi and his ilk, then Fuxi and his ilk will naturally be the victims.
However, if Bai Chen is the center of attention, then Bai Chen naturally becomes the victim.
"Uh~"
Nuwa was speechless when she saw Bai Chen twisting the truth here.
The cat is clearly the perpetrator, so how can it so brazenly distort the truth and shamelessly claim to be the victim?
"Bad Cat, you're so good at arguing. One day I'll drag you to Jieyin and Zhunti the Dao."
Nuwa estimated that even the Western Two Saints wouldn't be a match for this cat, given Bai Chen's ability to argue.
This cat has been spoiled by Yuanfeng. It would be difficult for me to teach it properly and correct its ways, let alone achieve enlightenment!
"Bad Cat, you've caused my brother so much trouble this time. I already feel bad enough for him by not punishing you."
"Now I'm asking you to act out a scene, and you won't cooperate."
"If you don't hang yourself, I'll hang you myself."
Nuwa has made her intentions clear this time: the cat has no choice but to cooperate with this play today.
"Well!"
Bai Chen sighed. Life is tough, even cats are putting on an act.
Left with no other choice, Bai Chen found a suitable spot and used his magic to create chains, suspending himself from the palace beams.
There was no other way; if Nuwa were to hang him up, not only would the other party be uncomfortable if she tied him too tightly, but he wouldn't be able to untie himself either.
I can do it myself, ensuring my comfort, and I can even untie it myself later.
Nuwa Bai Chen had already tied it up and hung it up himself, Nuwa nodded to the head steward Jin Ning.
After bowing respectfully, Jin Ning went to invite Fuxi over.
Fuxi, entrusted by Bai Ze, came to the Wa Saint Palace. When he arrived at the main hall...
For a moment, no one noticed Bai Chen hanging upside down; they only saw Nuwa sitting high on the twenty-fourth-grade Cycle Purple Jade Lotus Platform.
"Greetings, sister!"
"Brother, no need for formalities!"
After Fuxi bowed, Nuwa gestured for him to dispense with the formalities.
Bai Chen, who was suspended in mid-air, noticed that Fuxi hadn't seen him, and a playful look appeared in his eyes.
Bai Chen had already secretly changed his clothes; he was now covered in red fur, and blood was dripping from his wounds.
Its fangs were bared, its eyes were bloodshot, and its tongue was sticking out long. It lunged at Fuxi with its claws outstretched.
