Cangyuan remembered.
Back in the Immortal Ancient era, the Ten Golden Crows traveled across the Prehistoric World. Ten crows blazed like suns, baking the Primordial Land into drought everywhere. Under the scorching True Sun Fire, all living things wailed, and countless lives suffered.
According to the established course of events, the Great Witch Kuafu of the Witch Race should have pursued the Golden Crows madly, dying of exhaustion and transforming into a Peach Forest. This would have enraged Kuafu's friend Da Yi, leading to Houyi shooting down nine suns.
But due to Cangyuan's interference, there had been no episode of Kuafu chasing the sun. It had gone straight to Houyi shooting down nine suns.
After Houyi shot down nine suns, he was protected by the Twelve Ancestral Witches and had not fallen at the time.
But how could the death of one's sons go unavenged?
Empress Xihe devised a plan.
She sent a beautiful Chang'e from Guanghan Palace down to the mortal world to fall in love with Da Yi.
Afterward came Chang'e's flight to the moon. Da Yi pursued her to the Moon Star, where he was killed by the prepared Xihe.
This was also the beginning of the final battle between the Witch and Demon Races!
"Wasn't Da Yi dead?"
Cangyuan asked.
Changxi shook her head. "He did not fall. Da Yi's True Spirit Soul was imprisoned by my elder sister within the Moon Laurel Tree. The two fused together, as did his Five Senses and Six Perceptions. His body, meanwhile, became Wu Gang, endlessly chopping at the Moon Laurel Tree day and night."
The Moon Laurel Tree was one of the ten Supreme Innate Spiritual Roots. It possessed extreme Lunar power and an undying nature.
Whenever Wu Gang chopped open an axe mark, it healed itself.
Heal,
