The next day...

A cacophony of gongs and drums filled the air...

Chen Xuan was roused from his sleep in a daze. He got up and washed quickly, then went out to experience the joy of the Temple Fair once more after years of struggling away from home—a genuine remembrance of his childhood.

"Feng Xi... Hurry up! This year's Temple Fair is very lively. Let's go offer incense early. I heard there's an old fortune-teller who's incredibly accurate. You can have him read your birth charts..." Mom Chen was very enthusiastic and had prepared gold ingots and candles for worshiping the gods early that morning.

"I'm coming..." Great God Nuwa replied helplessly.

"Hey, hey... Mom! I'm your son too. How could you leave without even calling me?" Chen Xuan chased after them from behind.

The three of them walked along like a family of three, happily heading toward a grand Temple Fair three kilometers away. Villagers from all around had come rushing over.

At a glance, there were at least four or five thousand people, with even more arriving one after another. It was truly a grand Temple Fair.

"Great God Nuwa... Are you really going into the temple to worship?" Chen Xuan asked curiously, looking toward the bustling scene ahead, where a divine statue was being carried around the village.

"The spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth is now scarce, and conferring gods has long since become impossible. Even if I were to worship a god, no god from later generations could bear it, because I am an Innate God..."

Great God Nuwa saw through the essence of Heaven and Earth at a glance, as well as the truth behind the Temple Fair. In her presence, no deity dared to act superior.

"Awesome..." Chen Xuan gave her a thumbs-up. It was great having someone powerful to cling to.

Some television dramas showed true gods bowing in worship, causing endless karma to descend—something no deity could withstand, resulting in instant explosion. He wondered whether it was true.

"What are you two standing around for? Come in with me to welcome the god..." Mom Chen called out.

"Mom... You go ahead! We'll walk around. Anyway, one representative is enough. Sincerity is what matters." Chen Xuan refused with a cheeky grin.

"Fine, fine... You two enjoy your world together. It's a good day today, so I won't scold you..." Mom Chen agreed happily. Grinning, she ran into a group of aunties and entered the temple with them.

With people coming and going, Great God Nuwa's extraordinary bearing and perfect beauty attracted countless gazes. For some reason, the longer people looked at her, the more hazy and unreal she seemed.

Otherwise, with her heroic bearing on full display, the entire scene would have erupted, and the Temple Fair would have turned into the descent of a goddess...

"This Temple Fair is quite nice. People are coming and going, and the incense is abundant. It's just a pity that I can't unleash my cultivation. Otherwise, I could directly confer you as a god and let you absorb endless Power of Incense and Faith..."

In Great God Nuwa's eyes, wisps of the Power of Incense and Faith curled through Heaven and Earth. A vast amount of the wishes of sentient beings had gathered around the divine statue ahead. In a place rich in spiritual energy, an entirely new deity would surely be born.

What had Earth in the Age of Dharma's End gone through?

The ancient gods of the primordial wilderness had left behind only countless legends before vanishing without a trace. Had they truly been annihilated?

Nuwa did not know. She could only investigate step by step...

"What kind of god are you planning to confer me as?" Chen Xuan teased.

"You useless thing, what kind of god could you be? You'd be more than enough to guard a toilet..." Great God Nuwa rolled her eyes. She had gone from being cold, noble, and proud to displaying so much human warmth that she was utterly captivating.

"Tch... You have to confer me as the Golden Palace Supreme Emperor. Once we return to the primordial wilderness, I'll fight for it myself. You have to help me... Heh heh..." Chen Xuan gloated, fantasizing about becoming the ruler of the Three Realms.

"Keep dreaming..." Nuwa walked ahead. People streamed back and forth, and the place seemed quite lively.

There really was a fortune-teller running a street stall...

He wore sunglasses and had set up a fortune-telling stall. He was about sixty years old and had a distinct air of the Republican era. He was currently telling a woman's romantic fortune, feeling the bones in her hand and examining her palm lines.

"Master, how is it? I heard you're very accurate. When will a domineering CEO fall in love with me?"

The somewhat attractive beauty had a pair of seductive eyes that seemed full of affection no matter whom she looked at. She gazed at the old fortune-teller expectantly as he delivered his judgments with absolute confidence.

"No... Your life will be full of stories. Before you turn thirty, you'll have a love affair as fleeting as a reflection of flowers in a mirror. After thirty, things will be hard to describe. You'll marry hastily and have a son and a daughter. It will look like a happy family, but it'll only be for outsiders to see..."

"Why..."

The woman panicked immediately.

"Because the world has changed..." The old fortune-teller sighed and said, "Under the true great golden age, men won't marry and women won't love. Even at sixty, you'll still drive around traveling, living the single life everyone envies and touring the world..."

"You stinking fraud... What nonsense..." The woman was furious and left while cursing.

"All things are born under Heaven, and one should strive ceaselessly to improve oneself. People are the greatest land of good feng shui. If you want to change your fate, change yourself..." The old fortune-teller smiled and looked around, spotting Chen Xuan at a glance.

Chen Xuan was curious too. What harm could there be in having his fortune told? He said, "Old man... How about telling my fortune? I feel like I'm about to take off..."

He had earned ten million, rented a hundred mu of land, and, most importantly, tricked Great God Nuwa into farming with him. He was truly at the peak of life.

The old fortune-teller took a sip of tea and smiled calmly. "I noticed you long ago. Let me see your palm lines..."

The old fortune-teller glanced at his palm lines, felt his bones, and examined his features several times. Finally, he brought out a tortoiseshell for divination, as though everything had become clear at a glance.

"How is it? Can I become the richest man in the world, stand high above everyone in the future, and marry an extraordinary fairy?" Chen Xuan asked expectantly.

Because he wanted Great God Nuwa to mold a fairy for him...

The old fortune-teller shook his head, raising the tension to a fever pitch. Looking at Chen Xuan with astonishment, he said, "Strange! Strange..."

"What is it?" Chen Xuan was curious too. Was this master from the Age of Dharma's End really capable?

Great God Nuwa was also surprised. Having come to the later generations, even as a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, she could not see into the lifelines of ordinary beings. Could this old man truly possess heaven-defying abilities?

"Ahem..." The old fortune-teller coughed and said, "Your fate is one the ages have seen only once or twice."

"Hiss... Could I be the sage prophesied in the final panel of the Tui Bei Tu—the one described as 'the sun rises in the east, Ziwei descends to the world'? The great sage of the Ziwei Star, worshiped by all living beings?" Chen Xuan rubbed his fists, growing excited.

"No..." The old fortune-teller shook his head. "You have one of the rarest fates in history—a fate that brings prosperity to your wife. This isn't merely a physiognomy of prosperity. Whoever marries you will soar to success, like the Phoenix cry on Mount Qi, and walk a great and glorious path..."

Pfft...

Great God Nuwa burst out laughing on the spot...

She gave Chen Xuan a strange look. Though she had come from the primordial wilderness and did not know much about the patriarchal society of later generations, she understood the value of what he had just been told: a destiny unique throughout the ages...

"So! In ancient times, my wife would have had the fate of an Empress?" Chen Xuan said smugly.

The old fortune-teller looked at him as though he were an idiot and did not answer. Instead, he looked toward Great God Nuwa. "Miss, would you like your fortune told?"

Great God Nuwa laughed. "Do you really dare tell my fortune?"

The old fortune-teller took a sip of tea. "From high-ranking officials and nobles to peddlers and laborers, who would I, with my iron-mouth divination, dare not read? One hundred yuan per person..."

"Little Xuanzi, pay him..." Great God Nuwa sat down and had Chen Xuan make the payment.

Chen Xuan immediately handed over two hundred yuan, including his own fee. He was extremely curious. What would happen if a mere mortal tried to read the fate of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal? Would he be sent off on the spot?

The old fortune-teller looked at her palm and trembled inwardly. Then he examined Great God Nuwa's face. It was a blur, as though it led into endless nothingness, the ends of Heaven and Earth...

Thud...

The old fortune-teller dropped to his knees on the spot. After fiercely kowtowing three times to Great God Nuwa, he broke into a cold sweat, hurriedly packed up his livelihood, and left in a panic.

Pfft...

Before he had even gone ten steps, he spat out a mouthful of blood. Then he continued outside, hurrying away...

"What happened? That old fortune-teller suddenly kowtowed and even spat blood..."

"He seemed to be telling that girl's fortune. I don't know why, but he suddenly knelt down, turned pale, started trembling all over, and hurriedly packed up before leaving..."

"Hiss... I've always heard that touching certain mysterious things would bring karmic obstacles. That old fortune-teller must have revealed too much of Heaven's secrets and suffered a backlash..."

"Everyone, hurry into the Temple Fair and worship the gods properly..."

The aunties around them were scared half to death. They believed most strongly in mysterious things and hurried into the temple to offer incense.

"Great God Nuwa... What was that?" Chen Xuan asked, utterly bewildered.

"Gods must not be profaned..." Great God Nuwa uttered the words lightly, but they rang like a great bell, shaking the soul.

"You're the greatest. You're awesome..." Chen Xuan had nothing left to say.

The two of them watched the crowds bustle about. It was extremely lively, with villagers from more than a dozen villages arriving. About half an hour later, Mom Chen returned carrying a little yellow dog, looking delighted.

"Mom... Where did you find it?" Chen Xuan was speechless.

"I saw it on the road. Look, its leg was injured, so I brought it home. We'll raise it from now on." Mom Chen was very pleased. Doing good deeds brought happiness from the bottom of her heart.

"Let's go! We're heading home..." Chen Xuan took the dog from her and said, "From now on, your name is Big Yellow..."

Whine, whine...

The dog seemed to resist and let out several cries...
