Primordial: Starting by Bumping into Nuwa! Part 39

What a joke—Great God Bai Chen had been born noble, an Innate Divine Beast.

He should be enjoying himself, not cultivating bitterly.

"Little White, with how lazy you are, when will you ever attain the Dao?"

Nuwa truly felt that Bai Chen had become useless. But it was not she who had raised Bai Chen into uselessness—it was Yuan Feng.

If Yuan Feng had not indulged Bai Chen back then, how could this Fat Cat have become like this?

A thousand mistakes, ten thousand mistakes—it was all Yuan Feng's fault!

"Nuwa, hurry up and cultivate diligently. As long as you attain the Dao, won't this Great God's Dao be complete?"

To avoid having Nuwa disturb his refined leisure, Bai Chen gestured for her to go cultivate somewhere else.

"Little White, what kind of Dao are you cultivating? Why is it so strange?"

Nuwa was baffled. What did her attaining the Dao have to do with Bai Chen's Dao?

Could it be that they would share the attainment of the Dao—the Primordial Fruit Status?

Ever since Yuan Feng had handed the Phoenix Clan over to Nuwa, the second elder, Mystic Sky Fire Phoenix Jin Ning, had become Nuwa's mount and maidservant.

Seeing Nuwa's confusion, Mystic Sky Fire Phoenix Jin Ning cupped her hands in salute before explaining:

"Great God Nuwa, what Bai Chen cultivates is rampaging and tyrannizing.

"If you attain the Dao, it can borrow the fox's might from the tiger and rampage everywhere in tyranny."

"Back when the clan leader was still around, it relied on a cat borrowing a phoenix's prestige to rampage everywhere in tyranny."

Jin Ning had known Bai Chen far longer than Nuwa had.

As Bai Chen's old rival from his days in the Phoenix Clan, Jin Ning understood Bai Chen better than Nuwa did. That was why she could declare that what Bai Chen cultivated was rampaging and tyrannizing.

"Uh!"

After Jin Ning's explanation, Nuwa finally understood what Bai Chen had meant earlier.

This Fat Cat truly was hopeless—it had been led astray by Yuan Feng.

No wonder Yuan Feng had given Bai Chen to her. She clearly wanted Nuwa to take the blame.

Trying to straighten out this useless cat was truly a long and arduous road!

Meow, meow, meow!

That's right, this Great God Bai Chen cultivates rampaging and tyrannizing. So what?

Rampaging and tyrannizing is still a Dao, isn't it?

As long as it's a Dao, that's enough. Who cares what kind of Dao it is!

"Jin Ning, do not slander this Great God."

Though Bai Chen thought so in his heart, he could not say it aloud!

Great God Bai Chen was an incomparably noble Innate Divine Beast. How could he admit to rampaging and tyrannizing?

Bai Chen knew they could not keep discussing rampaging and tyrannizing, so he hurriedly changed the subject:

"Hey, Jin Ning, the Qilin Clan has the Innate Spiritual Root Five Needles Pine, and the Phoenix Clan has the Innate Spiritual Root Wutong Tree. What Innate Spiritual Root does the Dragon Clan have?"

The Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans were evenly matched in strength, and the Innate Spiritual Roots possessed by the Phoenix Clan and Qilin Clan had both been exposed.

Bai Chen's intuition told him that the Dragon Clan also had an Innate Spiritual Root, one no weaker than the Five Needles Pine or the Wutong Tree.

"I'm the second elder of the Phoenix Clan, not the second elder of the Dragon Clan. How would I know?"

Jin Ning rolled her beautiful eyes at Bai Chen. Things like Innate Spiritual Roots were great secrets of the three clans, known only to each clan's upper ranks.

"And you call yourself the Phoenix Clan's second elder? Your intelligence is utterly lacking. How exactly did you become second elder?"

Bai Chen sternly berated Jin Ning, feeling that she was far too useless.

She had fought the Dragon Clan for so many yuanhui, yet she had not even uncovered this bit of intelligence.

No wonder that even under Yuan Feng's leadership, the Phoenix Clan had been unable to take down the Dragon Clan and Qilin Clan for so long. It was all because pig teammates like Jin Ning were such deadweight!

"Bai Chen, you—"

Jin Ning was so furious that she ground her teeth. This Fat Cat was still as infuriating as ever.

If she had not sold Bai Chen to Nuwa back then, would Bai Chen have been able to latch onto Nuwa?

This fellow repaid kindness with ingratitude. Truly hateful!

In the blink of an eye, who knew how many more yuanhui had passed.

Jade Capital Mountain...

"Devil Ancestor Luo Hou, you have truly ruined this one."

Ancestor Hongjun had once again failed to merge the Three Corpses into one, failing to attain the Dao.

The method of attaining the Primordial Fruit Status by merging the Three Corpses into one was a Dao-attainment method Ancestor Hongjun had comprehended from the incomplete Jade Disk of Creation in his possession.

He had devised this method of attaining the Dao for himself, and there was nothing inherently wrong with it.

But because, during the Dao-Demon Conflict, Devil Ancestor Luo Hou had blown up the Western Primordial Era, he too had been tainted by Great Karmic Debt.

For all these kalpas, whenever he tried to unite the Three Corpses and attain the Dao, the Great Karmic Debt would affect him and ruin his chance at enlightenment.

Had it not been for the influence of that Great Karmic Debt, he would have long since united the Three Corpses, Proving Immortal Dao and condensing Primordial Fruit Status.

It was all that damned Devil Ancestor Luo Hou's fault. Everyone clearly could have discussed things slowly.

But that devil had insisted on blowing up the Western Primordial Era, causing him to be tainted by Great Karmic Debt and leaving him unable to Prove Immortal Dao.

"Alas!"

"Everything is Great Dao's Destiny!"

Ancestor Hongjun let out a sigh and made a choice he had never wished to make.

"Great Dao above, I, Hongjun, am willing to use my own Immortal Dao Law to complete the Primordial Era and revive the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Era."

Ancestor Hongjun knew this was his destined fate. Since he could no longer attain the Immortal Dao, he could only pursue another Dao instead.

"Granted!"

As the Great Dao granted its assent, the Immortal Dao Law upon Ancestor Hongjun surged wildly outward, beginning to complete the Primordial Era.

A will akin to that of the Great Dao, yet inferior to it, awakened from its slumber. Its name was the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Era.

Now that Hongjun had used his own laws to complete the Primordial Era and revive the Heavenly Dao, it could truly be said: first there was Hongjun, then there was Heaven.

The awakening of the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Era had far too great an impact. All living beings throughout the Primordial Era sensed it.

Within Zu Fei Palace on Phoenix Perch Mountain, Bai Chen, who had been dozing atop Nuwa's lap, suddenly opened his eyes.

"The Heavenly Dao has revived!"

Now that the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Era had revived, the Great Dao retreated.

From now on, the Primordial Era would be governed by the Heavenly Dao. Of course, since the Great Dao stood above the Heavenly Dao, one could still pray to the Great Dao.

But whether the Great Dao would acknowledge you or not depended on your luck.

For Bai Chen, the revival of the Heavenly Dao was not a bad thing, but a good one.

The Heavenly Dao's revival meant that Ancestor Hongjun would soon attain the Dao.

After Ancestor Hongjun attained the Dao, he would expound the Dao at Purple Cloud Palace and distribute the positions of the Saints.

When the Dao was expounded at Purple Cloud Palace, Innate Divine Beasts and Innate Deities would all go to hear it.

Then Bai Chen could visit other people's sacred grounds, seek opportunities, and make a killing. When the time came, the first person he would look after would be Queen Mother of the West.

Seeing Bai Chen muttering to himself, Nuwa asked, "Little White, what is the Heavenly Dao?"

This was the first time Nuwa had heard the term Heavenly Dao.

Bai Chen climbed onto Nuwa's shoulder, pulled out a Huai Wood Fruit, and spoke as he gnawed on it.

"When Great God Pangu opened up the Primordial Era, he created the three Daos of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

"However, because the Primordial Era was incomplete, the three Daos of Heaven, Earth, and Man fell into slumber and had yet to revive, leaving the Great Dao to govern the Primordial Era."

"Now Ancestor Hongjun has revived the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Era with his own Immortal Dao Law. From now on, the Heavenly Dao will govern the Primordial Era."

"..."

Bai Chen roughly explained the matters of the three Daos of Heaven, Earth, and Man to Nuwa.

"Little White, you really know a lot."

"By the way, how do you know all this?"

Nuwa had known Bai Chen for so many kalpas. She knew that although Bai Chen was a hundred million points too useless, a hundred million points too lazy, and a hundred million points too wicked—

This lazy cat was very mysterious and knew many secrets of the Primordial Era.

Sometimes, Nuwa even suspected that Bai Chen might also have been transformed from a Chaos Demon God, which was why he knew so many secrets of the Primordial Era.

But Bai Chen's cultivation was far too pathetic, so Nuwa abandoned that suspicion.

After all, what existence transformed from a Chaos Demon God could possibly be this useless?

"Nuwa, this Great Deity is the embodiment of great wisdom. Besides, this Great Deity diligently cultivates and comprehends the destined workings of creation. Isn't it perfectly normal for me to know a little more?"

Bai Chen felt that Nuwa was becoming lazier and lazier too. Instead of comprehending Great Dao's Destiny herself, she spent every day coming to ask this Great Deity.

He had spoiled Nuwa too much. In the future, he could not casually resolve her doubts anymore.

Unless she paid more!

"Little White, is eating, drinking, playing, and sleeping in also diligent cultivation?"

Nuwa plucked Bai Chen off her shoulder and pinched his chubby cheeks.
