Primordial Era: Starting by Faking a Fall for Nuwa!

Only a very small number of high-ranking Fierce Beasts could shapeshift. Aside from the Beast Emperor Shen Ni, the Four Great Beast Kings, and the Eight Great Beast Generals, no other Fierce Beasts could shapeshift.

Bai Chen infused the origins of the low-level Fierce Beast clan into Si Bu Xiang and the others. Their origins combined with those of the Fierce Beast clan completely suppressed Si Bu Xiang and the others, severing any possibility of them shapeshifting in the future.

This was an experiment Bai Chen had conducted a long time ago, and the results were surprisingly good.

Speaking of which, the origins of the Fierce Beast clan were something Bai Chen had saved from the Fierce Beast Tribulation in his early years. He had captured some low-level innate Fierce Beasts near Mount Huo, extracted their origins, and stored them.

However, at that time, to avoid being discovered by the Fierce Beast clan, Bai Chen hadn't captured many low-level Fierce Beasts, so the amount of Fierce Beast origins he had stored wasn't much. It could be said that every bit used was a bit less.

"First Qilin, don't forget the Great Dao oath you made to sever your life force."

"Now that I, this Great God, have returned them to you, the Great Dao oath should take effect."

Bai Chen urged the First Qilin to quickly sever its own life force.

In reality, even without Bai Chen's urging, the Great Dao oath had already begun to take effect the moment it released the four of Si Bu Xiang.

Even if the First Qilin wanted to break its promise, the Great Dao would not allow it.

At this moment, the First Qilin's life force began to dissipate gradually. It wouldn't be long before its life force was completely extinguished.

Bai Chen knew the First Qilin was doomed and couldn't be bothered with it. He then turned his gaze to the Queen Mother of the West.

"Queen Mother of the West, I, this Great God, am telling you that the Phoenix Clan does not need your protection. Hurry up and return the resources Yuan Feng gave you to me, this Great God, or I will not let this matter rest with you."

Yuan Feng giving the Queen Mother of the West two-tenths of the Phoenix Clan's resources had always made Bai Chen uncomfortable. Those were his, Great God Bai Chen's, resources. Why should they be given to the Queen Mother of the West? Since he saw the Queen Mother of the West today, he had to ask for them.

"Hmph!"

The Queen Mother of the West let out a cold laugh and said grumpily, "Bai Chen, that was a gift from fellow Daoist Yuan Feng to me. What does it have to do with you?"

The Queen Mother of the West didn't take Bai Chen seriously at all because Bai Chen's cultivation was too low.

"That was Yuan Feng's personal action. It was not approved by me, this Great God, so it doesn't count!"

This was Yuan Feng's personal action, and Bai Chen naturally wouldn't admit it.

"Bai Chen, you are merely a pet raised by fellow Daoist Yuan Feng. Do you really think you are someone important?"

The Queen Mother of the West directly revealed Bai Chen's background. Otherwise, would he really think his own strength was formidable and he could be presumptuous in front of her? Yuan Feng, the master, was no longer here. Why should Bai Chen, a pet, act so arrogantly here? Moreover, if she, the Queen Mother of the West, returned the resources to Bai Chen, wouldn't it be telling the outside world that she, the Queen Mother of the West, was afraid of a mere pet like Bai Chen? How could she establish herself in the Primordial Era then? Therefore, these resources absolutely could not be returned!

"Queen Mother of the West, I, this Great God, am telling you that the First Qilin also looked down on me, this Great God. You know his current fate, so you should be clear!"

(●´∀｀)

Bai Chen stared at the Queen Mother of the West with his ferocious triangular eyes. This woman took his resources and dared to belittle and insult him, Great God Bai Chen. She was truly tired of living.

"Little White, the First Qilin has gone mad, let's go!"

Nuwa saw that Bai Chen and the Queen Mother of the West were arguing, and the First Qilin also showed signs of going mad. She directly grabbed Bai Chen and fled, not caring whether Bai Chen agreed or not. After all, if the First Qilin and the Queen Mother of the West joined forces, she and Bai Chen might have to suffer a bit before they could leave.

On the way back, Bai Chen glared fiercely at the direction of West Kunlun and cursed, "Queen Mother of the West, you ugly monster, just you wait. I, this Great God, will make you cry sooner or later."

Why did Bai Chen curse the Queen Mother of the West as an ugly monster? Although the Queen Mother of the West's appearance was incredibly beautiful before, that was merely the appearance of her innate Dao body. It was not her true form, the appearance of an Innate Deity. The Queen Mother of the West's Innate Deity body had messy hair adorned with a crown, tiger teeth, and a leopard's tail... Her true form had messy hair adorned with a jade crown, tiger teeth, and a leopard's tail. Bai Chen felt that the Queen Mother of the West's true form, compared to his own, Great God Bai Chen's, handsome and majestic form that embodied a myriad of perfections, was simply hideously ugly. To be precise, Bai Chen felt that the true forms of ninety-nine percent of the Innate Deities and Innate Divine Beasts in the Primordial Era were like stitched-together monstrosities, terrifyingly ugly, and not as good-looking as him, Great God Bai Chen. The remaining small portion could only be said to be barely on par with him. Bai Chen swore in his heart that he would make the Queen Mother of the West pay the price for looking down on him. Although in later generations she would bear the title of the foremost female immortal in the Primordial Era, in reality, her standing in the Primordial Era was just so-so. When the Purple Heaven Palace began its sermons, he, Great God Bai Chen, would be the first to take care of the Queen Mother of the West's dojo and ransack the West Kunlun Immortal Realm. Then, during the Witch-Demon Tribulation, he would find an opportunity to cripple her. Let her understand that Great God Bai Chen cannot be insulted!

The First Qilin saw Nuwa take Bai Chen and flee, and could do nothing.

Because he could feel that his life force was dwindling due to the Great Dao oath, and he wouldn't last long.

If he were to chase Nuwa and Bai Chen, he might very well perish on the way.

He now had to handle the matter of entrusting his child within the little time he had left.

"Four fellow Daoists, this humble one has fallen victim to Bai Chen's treacherous scheme and my life force is already beginning to fade due to the Great Dao oath."

"I don't have much time left, I implore the four fellow Daoists to fulfill my previous request."

The First Qilin bowed to the Three Pure Ones and the Queen Mother of the West, once again begging them to protect Si Bu Xiang and the Ink Qilin.

"Agreed!"

"Mhm!"

After a moment of hesitation, the Three Pure Ones and the Queen Mother of the West agreed to protect and take in Si Bu Xiang and the others, and would do their best to protect the Qilin Clan if possible.

The Three Pure Ones and the Queen Mother of the West were not foolish. If the Qilin Clan provoked an existence they couldn't handle, and they went to protect them, wouldn't that be seeking death?

"Thank you!"

The First Qilin thanked the Three Pure Ones and the Queen Mother of the West, then handed Si Bu Xiang, the Ink Qilin, and the Jade Qilin over to the Three Pure Ones, and the Gold Qilin to the Queen Mother of the West.

Si Bu Xiang would later become Yuqing Yuanshi's mount, and was then gifted to Jiang Ziya.

As for the Ink Qilin, it would later be given by Shangqing Tongtian to his disciple Golden Spirit Mother, and then by Golden Spirit Mother to Wen Zhong, becoming Wen Zhong's mount.

The Jade Qilin and the Ink Qilin were in similar situations. The Jade Qilin was given by Yuqing Yuanshi to the Heavenly Origin Sect disciple, the Twelve Golden Immortals' Qingxu Daode, and then by Qingxu Daode to his disciple Huang Tianhua.

As for the Gold Qilin, after following the Queen Mother of the West, it became a gatekeeping divine beast guarding the mountain.

"Fellow Daoist First Qilin, I have a question. You all waged war across the Primordial Era. If you had truly become the rulers of the Primordial Era, could you have truly proven the Dao?"

The Grand Pure One Laozi asked the First Qilin, voicing his doubt.

The Grand Pure One Laozi had cultivated for so many eons and was still a High-level Golden Immortal with Three Flowers on the Crown, yet he hadn't even touched the threshold of Half-step Dao Proving.

Today, encountering the First Qilin, a former Half-step Dao Proving expert, he had to ask.

This was the Grand Pure One Laozi's confusion, and it was also the confusion of Yuqing Yuanshi, Shangqing Tongtian, and the Queen Mother of the West.

"Four fellow Daoists, Yuan Feng, Ancestor Dragon, and I waged war across the Primordial Era all for the sake of proving the Dao. The former Beast Emperor Shen Ni was the same!"

"According to our calculations, as long as one becomes the co-ruler of the Primordial Era, they can gather supreme fortune and prove the Dao with Merit and Fortune, condensing a Primordial Fruit Status."

"It's a pity that we were schemed against by those damned Chaos Demon Gods, thus ruining our great plan."

The First Qilin did not hide anything and told them the truth.

The First Qilin also hoped that among the Three Pure Ones and the Queen Mother of the West, someone would be able to prove the Dao in the future.

After all, if even one of the four of them succeeded in proving the Dao, they could better protect the Qilin Clan.

"Chaos Demon Gods!!!"

The Three Pure Ones and the Queen Mother of the West were shocked by his words. According to their Innate Inheritance memories, all the Chaos Demon Gods should have been killed by the Great God Pangu.

The Primordial Era should not have Chaos Demon Gods, and even if there were, they should be dead, not alive.

The ones with the most troubled expressions were the Three Pure Ones.

They, the three brothers, were different from the Queen Mother of the West. They were formed from the Primordial Spirit of the Great God Pangu.

For the First Qilin to say that there were living Chaos Demon Gods in the Primordial Era, wasn't that implying that their Father God Pangu hadn't done a thorough job when he created the heavens and earth?

"Four fellow Daoists, the waters of the Primordial Era are very deep. The Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods that the Great God Pangu killed back then did not all die."

"Those like Luohu and Hongjun are the Half-step Dao Proving mighty beings formed from the Primordial Spirits and True Spirits of the Chaos Demon Gods who did not die completely."

"..."

The First Qilin then explained the situation in the Western Primordial Era to the Three Pure Ones and the Queen Mother of the West in detail.

"These Chaos Demon Gods truly deserve to die!"

Shangqing Tongtian couldn't help but curse when he heard about the Demon Ancestor Luohu slaughtering the Western Primordial Era.

"Fellow Daoists, if you ever prove the Dao, be sure to be vigilant against those Chaos Demon Gods, lest they ruin your chance to prove the Dao."

This was the First Qilin's final reminder to the Three Pure Ones and the Queen Mother of the West, hoping that they wouldn't be schemed against when they proved the Dao.

"Thank you for informing us, Fellow Daoist First Qilin."

The Three Pure Ones and the Queen Mother of the West thanked the First Qilin. Because of his revelation, they also understood the dangers of the Primordial Era.

The Ancestor Dragon and the First Qilin, both Half-step Dao Proving existences, were easily injured, had their cultivation weakened, and their realms lowered by the Demon Ancestor Luohu.

The waters of the Primordial Era were indeed a bit deep!

"My son, Si Bu Xiang, your father does not ask you to avenge me. He only wishes that your future generations will be free from worry."
