Primordial World: I Start by Bumping into Nuwa!

Yuanshi Tianzun: Justice my foot! You bunch of people did practically nothing, just used the Kongtong Seal to confer titles, borrowed the Witch-Slaying Sword, and extorted money to take away 60 Human Emperor's merits.

Not to mention that I, Yuanshi Tianzun, paid a great price to obtain the Human Emperor's position and authority from Bai Chen.

He worked himself to the bone, worrying endlessly, and in order to help the Human Emperor regain his throne, he wiped out both the inner and outer disciples of the Chan Sect in the Battle of Zhuolu.

They even had to trouble Dao Ancestor Hongjun multiple times to obtain 20% of the merit for becoming a Human Emperor. Is this how you do things?

Dao Ancestor Hongjun: Yuqing Yuanshi, do you still know how to trouble me so many times?

I almost suspected that it was my Dao Ancestor Hongjun assisting the Human Emperor, as he was always there to solve your problems.

Bai Chen used the Kongtong Seal to control the two Human Emperor merits of the Xuanyuan Shi, condensing them into a fruition position, and directly injected them into the Xuanyuan Shi's body.

Once the Human Emperor's Fruit entered his body, Xuanyuan Shi's cultivation level soared, reaching the late Quasi-Saint realm with the blessing of the Human Emperor's Fruit.

After the Human Emperor returned to the throne, everyone thought the matter was over. Just then Houtu issued Imperial Decree to the Xuanyuan Shi, saying:

"Human Emperor Xuanyuan, you flooded the Jiuli people in the Plains of Zhuolu and killed the Lord of Soldiers Chi You."

The forced abdication of Flame Emperor Jiang Yiwang, by force resulted in countless deaths and injuries among the human race.

"I will give you ten years to handle trivial matters. After ten years, go to the Fire Cloud Palace and join the Human Emperor Fuxi in suppressing the human race's destiny to atone for their sins. This will ensure that the human race never experiences another catastrophe!"

Houtu directly announced that Human Emperor Xuanyuan would go and keep Fuxi company. Houtu felt that she was still very merciful and gave Xuanyuan Shi a ten-year buffer period.

Seeing this, Dao Ancestor Hongjun ignored the mess and left directly, returning to the Purple Cloud Palace.

Whether Human Emperor Xuanyuan is imprisoned or not will no longer affect his interests.

"Xuanyuan Shi, now that you are the Human Emperor, your karmic ties with the Chan Sect are severed, and you have no further connection with them!"

Frustrated, Yuanshi Tianzun directly severed the other party's ties with the Chan Sect, then ignored them and departed through the void.

Now that the Human Emperor has returned to his throne, Human Emperor merits have been distributed.

Furthermore, since Yuanshi Tianzun didn't receive much merit from the Human Emperor this time, he couldn't be bothered with these trivial matters.

Xuanyuan Shi was furious when he saw that Yuanshi Tianzun had left. The other party had taken away his merits as the Human Emperor and now he was abandoning him. It was a complete case of crossing the river and burning the bridge!

Yuanshi Tianzun: Xuanyuan Shi, I invested so much in you, and in the end I only received 20% of the merit for becoming the Human Emperor. How much more do you want me to care about?

Houtu Xuanyuan Shi remained unmoved, Houtu began to rebuke him:

"Human Emperor Xuanyuan, why haven't you accepted the Imperial Decree?"

This trick was learned by Houtu from Bai Chen; it means that if I hit you, you have to thank me.

"We humbly beg the Empress Houtu for mercy!"

Xuanyuan Shi and Ying Long bowed to Houtu at the same time, begging for mercy and hoping that Houtu would show them great compassion.

Xuanyuan Shi and Ying Long felt that their Dragon Clan had paid a considerable price to buy the throne of the Human Emperor from Bai Chen.

The idea was simply to allow the Dragon Clan to gain some of the Merit and Fortune of the Human Emperor, and to have one more expert to guard the Dragon Clan.

As a result, the Merit and Fortune of the Human Emperor have been preserved by 20%, Houtu will put the Xuanyuan Shi, the reincarnation of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, under house arrest for eternity.

It should be noted that in order to help the Xuanyuan Shi regain its rightful place, Ying Long had his cultivation reduced by Chi You Battle of Zhuolu, falling from the Quasi-Saint realm to the Daluo Golden Immortal.

When he was chasing Nu Ba, Xuan Du used the Taiji Diagram to cut off the Three Flowers on the Crown, causing him to fall from Daluo Golden Immortal to Primordial Unity Golden Immortal.

He was now considered useless. Xuanyuan Shi, the reincarnation of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, was also imprisoned in the Fire Cloud Palace. The two Quasi-Saint experts of the Dragon Clan were now both crippled!

It can be said that the Dragon Clan not only did not gain the throne of the Human Emperor, but actually suffered a loss!

"Mercy?"

Houtu sneered, then began to question:

"You two ask me for mercy, but when you flooded the Jiuli Tribe, why didn't you talk about mercy then?"

Houtu felt that she had compassion, but she did not have excessive compassion.

If one's compassion were excessive, there would be no eighteen levels of hell or nine levels of the underworld!

Since this is the path that Ying Long and the Xuanyuan Shi chose themselves, they must pay the price!

"By the way, your Dragon Clan has never been a merciful bunch. During the time when the Three Clans Hegemony, countless lives were lost because of your Dragon Clan!"

Houtu added a detail, revealing the true nature of the Dragon Clan.

Houtu felt that other races might have the right to ask for her mercy, but the Dragon Clan did not!

Houtu Ying Long was unwilling to let Xuanyuan Shi, Yinglong gritted his teeth and made a decision, bowing to Houtu and saying:

"Empress Houtu, the flooding of the Jiuli Tribe was the work of this humble Ying Long. This humble Daoist Ying Long is willing to go to the Fire Cloud Palace in place of the Xuanyuan Shi to suppress the human race's destiny."

Ying Long felt that his cultivation had been almost completely reduced, and he had become Primordial Unity Golden Immortal. Therefore, he wanted to use himself to imprison Fire Cloud Palace in place of Xuanyuan Shi, so that Xuanyuan Shi, who had the cultivation of Quasi-Saint in the late stage, could protect the Dragon Clan.

"Ying Long, you have no right to bargain with me!"

Houtu sternly rebuked Ying Long, saying that she could never agree to such a foolish condition.

Trading a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal for a late-stage Quasi-Saint is something no one but an idiot would agree to, unless they're completely brain-dead.

"Human Emperor Xuanyuan, ten years from now, you will die of old age. At that time, you will either go to the Fire Cloud Palace to suppress your destiny and never let it out again, or you will enter the Underworld for judgment!"

After Houtu finished speaking, she immediately broke through the void and disappeared. In any case, she had given them the way; whether they chose to live or die was up to them.

After Houtu left, Human Emperor Xuanyuan looked at Ying Long and said with a troubled expression:

"Brother, what should we do?"

The Human Emperor Xuanyuan was in a real bind. This position of Human Emperor was no blessing; it was a hot potato!

"Well!"

Ying Long sighed and said helplessly:

"If I had known things would turn out this way, I would Human Emperor to Chi You. Being a Lord of Soldiers would have been better than being the Human Emperor whose Merit and Fortune have been divided up by eighty percent, and who is now imprisoned for eternity!"

Ying Long regretted it. If he had known he would be retaliated against by Houtu, he would have given the Human Emperor to Chi You and let Xuanyuan Shi, the reincarnation of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, become the Lord of Soldiers. Then all these troubles would have been avoided.

"Got it!"

Just as Ying Long was troubled, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he said:

"The throne of the Human Emperor was sold to us by Bai Chen. He took our benefits and must be responsible to us."

Ying Long's solution was to find Bai Chen, the after-sales service representative, and have him handle the after-sales issues for the Dragon Clan.

Upon Ying Long's words, Human Emperor Xuanyuan understood and immediately echoed his sentiments:

"That's right. Given Bai Chen's relationship with the Empress Houtu, if it's willing to speak up, it can definitely persuade the Empress Houtu to rescind her Imperial Decree."

Bai Chen and Houtu were close friends, a fact known throughout the Primordial World world.

Xuanyuan Shi believed that as long as the other party was willing to plead on his behalf, he would surely be able to persuade Houtu to rescind the Imperial Decree.

Just as Ying Long and Xuanyuan Shi were envisioning a bright future, Yuanfeng, who had been secretly watching the drama unfold, poured cold water on their hopes:

"I advise you two not to waste your time. Xuanyuan Shi, you should wait ten years and honestly go to the Fire Cloud Palace to suppress the destiny!"

Yuanfeng thought those two were idiots; going to Bai Chen for after-sales service—was that even realistic?

Having known that cat for so many years, how could I not know its personality?

Go find Bai Chen for after-sales service. It's a miracle that the cat hasn't given you a good beating!

"Yuanfeng, stop gloating!"

Ying Long felt that Yuanfeng, an enemy of the Dragon Clan, was gloating and couldn't stand to see the Dragon Clan doing well.

"I was just kindly reminding you. Whether you go find Little White or not is up to you!"

After Yuanfeng finished speaking, she disappeared again.

She knew these two wouldn't listen to her, and since she had already warned them, there was nothing she could do if they wanted to get beaten up.

Ying Long and Xuanyuan Shi both knew Ying Long Bai Chen was no pushover, so just in case, they made a special trip to the East Sea before heading to Nuwa 'Xuanyuan Shi Wa Saint Heaven.

After Ying Long and Xuanyuan Shi arrived at Nuwa's Wa Saint Heaven Wa Saint Heaven, they were struck by the auspicious signs that filled the place.

"No wonder Bai Chen doesn't have his own Daoist temple; auspicious omens are already pervading the area outside the Wa Saint Palace!"

Ying Long used to wonder why Bai Chen, as a Innate Great God, didn't establish his own Daoist temple but instead chose to reside within Nuwa's temple.

Auspicious omens abound in the outer Wa Saint Heaven, not to mention the Wa Saint Palace within.

From this perspective, staying at a sage's monastery is indeed more cost-effective than establishing one's own!

Ying Long and Xuanyuan Shi arrived at the gate of the Wa Saint Palace, bowed and pleaded before the tightly closed gate:

"Ying Long and the Human Emperor Xuanyuan request an audience with the Empress Nuwa and the Great God Bai Chen!"

After Ying Long and Xuanyuan Shi pleaded, some time later, Azure Cloud Child and Colorful Cloud Child opened the palace gates.

"We have met the Empress Nuwa and the Great God Bai Chen!"

Upon seeing Ying Long and Bai Chen, Nuwa and Xuanyuan Shi quickly bowed and paid their respects. Although they had come to ask Bai Chen for after-sales service, their attitude was still quite polite, since they needed his help.

"Ying Long, Human Emperor Xuanyuan, what is the purpose of your visit here?"

After Nuwa gestured for Ying Long and Xuanyuan Shi to dispense with the formalities, she asked a question in a perfunctory manner.

Nuwa naturally knew their purpose in coming, but she pretended not to.

Bai Chen accepted benefits from the Dragon Clan, but Nuwa didn't. Don't expect Nuwa to handle Nuwa aftermath.

"You guys aren't here to ask me for after-sales service, are you?"

Just as Ying Long and Xuanyuan Shi were about to speak, Bai Chen spoke first, asking a question in return. In fact, anyone familiar with Bai Chen could tell that what he meant was that he didn't want to deal with after-sales service.

Ying Long bowed to Bai Chen and said:

"Great God Bai Chen, when you gave the throne of the Human Emperor to my Dragon Clan, you didn't say that I would be imprisoned in the Fire Cloud Palace for eternity!"

"Therefore, we would like to ask you to go to the Empress Houtu and have that Imperial Decree revoked!"

Ying Long felt that since Bai Chen had taken the benefits from the Dragon Clan and sold the Human Emperor's position to the Dragon Clan, he had to be responsible for the Dragon Clan's after-sales service.
