Primordial Era: Starting by Faking an Accident with Nuwa!

When Saint Hongjun spoke these words, he specifically glanced at Bai Chen, who was beside Nuwa.

Of all the people listening to the sermon, excluding the Ancestor Witches, Bai Chen was the least attentive.

"We will engrave the Saint's teachings in our hearts."

The Innate Deities collectively bowed to Saint Hongjun; they weren't fools.

Based on their estimations, the next sermon would likely be about the path of a Quasi-Saint, which made them a little excited.

The content of the first sermon was nearing its end, but before that, Saint Hongjun had one more matter to attend to.

Saint Hongjun's gaze swept across the Innate Deities, finally settling on East Prince Gong, who was formed from innate pure yang energy, and Queen Mother of the West, who was formed from innate pure yin energy:

"East Prince Gong, Queen Mother of the West, you two were born from innate pure yang and pure yin energies as Innate Deities. Therefore, I bestow upon you the titles of Head of the Male Immortals and Head of the Female Immortals in the Primordial Era. You will be responsible for temporarily managing the male and female immortals in the Primordial Era on my behalf!"

Saint Hongjun's bestowal of titles surprised all the Innate Deities listening to the sermon.

If Saint Hongjun had chosen the Head of the Male Immortals and Head of the Female Immortals from the seven Quasi-Saint early-stage cultivators—the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Zhunti, Jieyin, and Eastern Emperor Taiyi—the Innate Deities would have had nothing to say.

After all, their cultivation levels were evident, and they were all early-stage Quasi-Saints.

However, if it were East Prince Gong and Queen Mother of the West, the Innate Deities had reservations.

This was because the strength of these two did not match the titles of Head of the Male Immortals and Head of the Female Immortals.

Currently, East Prince Gong and Queen Mother of the West were not Quasi-Saints, only at the Half-step Quasi-Saint cultivation level.

Among the Innate Deities listening, there were many whose cultivation exceeded theirs, let alone those whose cultivation was not weaker than theirs.

On what grounds would East Prince Gong and Queen Mother of the West manage them, these Innate Divine Beasts and Innate Deities?

Especially the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Zhunti, Jieyin, and Eastern Emperor Taiyi, were all displeased with Saint Hongjun's appointment.

Why should those two become the Head of the Male Immortals and Head of the Female Immortals?

After all, in terms of cultivation, the seven of them far surpassed East Prince Gong and Queen Mother of the West.

In terms of origin, none of the seven were inferior to East Prince Gong and Queen Mother of the West, especially the origin of the Three Pure Ones, which far surpassed East Prince Gong's by a significant margin.

Was it appropriate for East Prince Gong and Queen Mother of the West, who were inferior to them in all aspects, to manage them?

The most unhappy among them was Yuqing Yuanshi. He considered himself to be of Pangu's Orthodox Lineage, with an incomparably noble origin.

Now, Saint Hongjun had actually appointed East Prince Gong as the Head of the Male Immortals. If not for Saint Hongjun's cultivation level, Yuqing Yuanshi would have wanted to turn around and leave immediately.

Saint Hongjun paid no mind to what these Innate Deities were thinking. He waved his whisk, and the Dragon Head Golden Cudgel and the Pure Water Alms Bowl, two top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, appeared in the great hall.

"East Prince Gong, Queen Mother of the West, I bestow upon you these two top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, the Dragon Head Golden Cudgel and the Pure Water Alms Bowl!"

As Dao Ancestor Hongjun's voice fell, the Dragon Head Golden Cudgel and the Pure Water Alms Bowl floated before East Prince Gong and Queen Mother of the West.

After receiving the treasures, East Prince Gong and Queen Mother of the West bowed to Saint Hongjun and said:

"Thank you, Saint, for bestowing these treasures!"

Saint Hongjun looked at Queen Mother of the West, feeling a bit of pity for her.

To be precise, he felt a bit of pity for the Innate Deities.

Others might not know what Bai Chen and Zhunti, Jieyin had done, but could Hongjun, with his Saintly cultivation, not know?

Saint Hongjun also felt that Bai Chen and Zhunti, Jieyin had gone a bit too far. It was one thing to raid someone's dojo.

But these three were like geese passing by and leaving their feathers, or beasts leaving their fur; they didn't leave even a brick or a tile for these Innate Deities.

Saint Hongjun gestured for East Prince Gong and Queen Mother of the West to rise, then addressed the guests of Purple霄 Palace:

"This sermon concludes here! When the next sermon begins, I will summon you all here!"

After Saint Hongjun finished speaking, he waved his whisk, signaling that the guests of Purple霄 Palace could leave.

"We respectfully obey the Saint's decree!"

"We take our leave!"

After bowing, everyone began to leave the Purple Heaven Palace one after another.

As Nuwa walked out of the palace gate holding Bai Chen, Bai Chen saw Haotian still frozen in place and looked at him:

"You dog, Great God Bai Chen is not finished with you."

Although Saint Hongjun had compensated Bai Chen, Bai Chen would not easily forgive Haotian.

If Haotian wasn't dealt with, his Dao heart as Great God Bai Chen would be unsettled.

When the opportunity arises in the future, Great God Bai Chen would give Haotian a big one, making his life worse than death.

As Nuwa was about to leave with Bai Chen in her arms, Xuanming and Houtu stopped her.

"Little White, where have you been all these eons?"

Houtu began to inquire about Bai Chen's whereabouts during these eons, wanting to know where Bai Chen and Nuwa had been fooling around.

"Houtu, Great God Bai Chen promised Yuan Feng that he would protect the Phoenix Clan. My dojo is located on Phoenix Perch Mountain."

Bai Chen told Houtu and Xuanming the location of his dojo, then extended an invitation:

"Houtu, Xuanming, if you want to come visit me, you can move near Phoenix Perch Mountain, but you can't harm the Phoenix Clan!"

Bai Chen knew that once these Innate Great Gods returned, they would discover their dojos were gone.

It was all the fault of Zhunti and Jieyin, those two troublemakers, that even Great God Bai Chen was being suspected.

There was still some time before Nuwa proved the Dao, and Bai Chen needed to recruit some muscle to protect Great God Bai Chen.

Xuanming and Houtu were the best choices for muscle. If he could control these two Witches, he could control the entire Witch Clan.

With Ancestor Witches protecting him, Great God Bai Chen wouldn't fear those Innate Deities or Innate Divine Beasts.

"Little White~"

Nuwa glared fiercely at Bai Chen. Houtu and Xuanming had been constantly asking her and Bai Chen for the location of their dojos.

She, Nuwa, had kept her mouth shut, not saying a single word.

And this lazy cat?

As soon as Houtu asked, he not only spilled the beans but even invited Houtu and Xuanming to move near Phoenix Perch Mountain.

This was blatant betrayal!

"Little White, my sister and I will go back and discuss it with our elder brothers."

Houtu and Xuanming didn't refuse Bai Chen's invitation, but moving away from Buzhou Mountain was a major decision they couldn't make themselves!

As Nuwa carried Bai Chen back to Phoenix Perch Mountain, she suddenly noticed an anomaly at Buzhou Mountain.

Buzhou Mountain was enveloped in Calamity Qi, and a lightning tribulation was brewing.

An Innate Spiritual Root shot up from a secret realm within Buzhou Mountain. This Innate Spiritual Root was none other than the Innate Gourd Vine.

The Innate Gourd Vine was madly absorbing the nutrients from Buzhou Mountain, condensing a Primordial Unity Dao Fruit, and attempting to take form and prove the Dao.

"Little White, do you think it can prove the Dao?"

Nuwa ruffled Bai Chen's round head and asked.

Bai Chen took out a fruit and began munching on it:

"The Innate Gourd Vine has the potential to prove the Dao, but not the destiny."

Bai Chen was just waiting for the Innate Gourd Vine to perish so that Great God Bai Chen could claim the gourds.

Fuxi, who was beside Nuwa, was greatly alarmed upon hearing this and quickly reprimanded Bai Chen:

"Bai Chen, how can you speak like that about that fellow Daoist? If they manage to prove the Dao, they'll surely come looking for you for an accounting. Don't drag us siblings down with you."

Fuxi thought Bai Chen was a true troublemaker. How could he say such things so casually?

If, by chance, the Innate Gourd Vine succeeded in proving the Dao, and found out Bai Chen had cursed it, it would definitely seek revenge.

His sister and he would also be implicated by this troublemaker.

"Hehehehe!"

"Even if Great God here didn't say anything, would they let Great God here off the hook?"

Bai Chen sneered mockingly at Fuxi. He knew very well the animosity between himself and the Innate Gourd Vine.

Ever since he extorted the Innate Gourd Vine's Innate Breathing Soil, a great feud had been established.

If the other party succeeded in proving the Dao, the first thing they would do would be to seek revenge on him.

However, fortunately, they wouldn't be able to prove the Dao.

"Fuxi, let me tell you, if the Innate Gourd Vine successfully proves the Dao, it will be a catastrophe for all living beings in the Primordial Era."

Bai Chen wasn't trying to scare Fuxi. The background of the Innate Gourd Vine was a Chaos Demon God.

And the vast majority of Chaos Demon Gods harbored hatred towards the Primordial Era because they suffered during the Great Tribulation of Creation, were struck by Great God Pangu's axe, and lost their Primordial Fruit Status.

They hated Great God Pangu, and they hated all living beings in the Primordial Era.

"Little White, are you saying the Innate Gourd Vine is a Chaos Demon God?"

Nuwa wasn't foolish; she understood Bai Chen's meaning.

"Mm."

Bai Chen didn't elaborate further, merely giving a hum.

"Little White, then should we stop it from proving the Dao?"
