The Wu govern the earth, the Yao govern the heavens.
The Primordial World had now been carved up by the Wu and Yao races, while the remaining myriad races were scattered like loose sand, unable to form a real force.
As for the Four Seas, the Dragon race had hidden themselves within the depths of the Eastern Sea Abyss; in terms of strength, they were naturally insufficient.
Coupled with the Yao race's intent to encroach, the Four Seas were already subtly occupied, and countless Water Tribe beings had broken away from the Dragon race to join the Yao race's Heavenly Court.
"This Emperor is unaware, but my Fengqi Mountain lies within Wu race territory. The Twelve Ancestral Witches fear our strength and have not touched Fengqi Mountain, yet all around are Wu tribes. My sister and I cannot make any move without the Wu knowing."
"Furthermore, Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi want this humble one and my little sister to enter the Yao race Heavenly Court as Demon Emperors. Thus, we have already incurred the Wu race's enmity; we are merely waiting for the Twelve Ancestral Witches to act."
"If it were not for you, Daoist friend, coming today, I fear my sister and I might have been forced to join the Yao race at any moment."
Fuxi let out a long sigh and spoke to East King Duke.
The Wu and Yao races vied for supremacy over the Primordial World.
The Yao race's destiny was profound. If he became a Demon Emperor, Fuxi could use the Yao race's destiny to comprehend the Heavenly Dao and thus easily break through his realm.
Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi's invitation was naturally extremely tempting to him.
But the war between Wu and Yao would bring chaos and calamity; he feared dying in the great battle, which would be a loss outweighing the gain.
"Daoist friend Fuxi, This Emperor dares to ask: are you willing to join the Hongmeng Immortal Palace?"
East King Duke got straight to the point, revealing his true purpose.
If he recruited Fuxi, then taking Nuwa into his harem would become easy.
Cultivating the Great Dao Yin-Yang Art required dual cultivation with a female immortal of profound cultivation. In the Primordial World, female immortals of peerless beauty and high realm could be counted on two hands.
Nuwa of Fengqi Mountain, Xihe and Changxi of the Moon Star, Dragon Emperor Ying Long.
Beyond these, there were Primordial Phoenix, whose life or death was unknown, and Yaochi, the disciple of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
The only one he could approach now was Nuwa.
Upon hearing this!
Fuxi sank into deep thought. He was not surprised by East King Duke's invitation.
Ever since their meeting at the First Lecture at Purple Cloud Palace, Fuxi had known that East King Duke bore the fate of the Co-Lord of Heaven and Earth. Though he did not currently participate in the struggle for supremacy over the Primordial World, the future was still undecided—who could say what would come?
"Daoist friend East King Duke, if you wish to contend for the Primordial World, this humble one can bring my sister to help you achieve a great enterprise."
"The Wu and Yao run rampant, creating endless slaughter. If the myriad races of the Primordial World were all under your command, Daoist friend, the strife in this world would be greatly reduced!"
Fuxi spoke slowly, offering his own insight into the situation of the Primordial World.
The Wu race disrespected the Heavenly Dao, solely revering Pangu.
Little did they know that in the current Primordial World, only by conforming to the Heavenly Dao could one obtain supreme opportunities.
As for Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi, they were now East King Duke's formidable rivals.
"This Emperor has no desire to contend for supremacy over the Primordial World. At least until I have sufficient cultivation, the destiny of the Primordial World and the position of Co-Lord of Heaven and Earth have nothing to do with me."
"If Daoist friend Fuxi joins my Hongmeng Immortal Palace, you will receive This Emperor's protection. Moreover, This Emperor swears to help you prove Dao and become a Saint. If I speak a single false word, may my Dao heart be destroyed, and I never achieve the Great Dao."
East King Duke shook his head.
Destiny was also one of the Three Thousand Great Daos.
The Witch-Demon Tribulation, the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, the Journey to the West Tribulation.
Only after these three tribulations ended could the Heavenly Dao Destiny of the Primordial World reach its peak. That was when East King Duke would completely suppress all living beings.
"If the Immortal Emperor does not disdain me, then this humble one is willing to enter the Hongmeng Immortal Palace."
"Beyond that, this humble one also wishes to betroth my little sister Nuwa to the Immortal Emperor. After all, within the Primordial World, aside from you, there is no other great power worthy of my sister."
"What does the Immortal Emperor think?"
Fuxi was extremely excited; his goal was about to be achieved.
Following Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi—how could that compare to following East King Duke?
At the very least, in terms of the number of Innate Supreme Treasures, East King Duke could crush all Innate Deities. He was undoubtedly a being of profound fortune and boundless destiny.
Selling his sister for gain at the drop of a hat.
East King Duke looked at Fuxi, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly into a strange smile.
This wasn't recruiting a Quasi-Saint great power at all—this was his long-lost brother-in-law.
What about Nuwa?
Naturally, she was a Graceful Lady, a beauty of heavenly grace, the first love of every Primordial World transmigrator. East King Duke naturally wanted to take Nuwa into his harem.
"Fuxi, I'm ignoring you!"
Nuwa's face flushed crimson. She ran straight into her own Dao palace, threw herself onto the cloud bed, and covered her face with both hands, feeling she couldn't face anyone.
How could her brother just blurt out everything like that!
"How embarrassing. Though I admire East King Duke, there was no need to say it so bluntly—I'm utterly mortified!"
"But if I truly could have a romance with him and become his Dao Companion, that wouldn't be a bad choice either."
Nuwa murmured to herself.
Her pretty face burned hot, waves of shyness washing over her.
She wanted to calm her Primordial Spirit, but the moment she circulated her magic power, East King Duke's figure surfaced in her mind—that handsome face and broad chest growing ever clearer, making Nuwa's heart tremble.
Fragrant sweat beaded on her skin. Just imagining it made her whole body ache; East King Duke's aura intoxicated her utterly, stirring a sense of shame within.
The mere thought left Nuwa as if adrift on a vast ocean, her entire being swaying, her soul growing light and airy.
Weak all over, it felt as though she were already ascending to the Jade Terrace with East King Duke!
"Daoist Fuxi, your younger sister is not only powerful in cultivation but also possesses the top beauty in the Primordial World. Even This Emperor finds his heart stirred and is naturally willing to become her Dao Companion."
"Matters of fate depend on your sister's thoughts—a forced melon isn't sweet!"
East King Duke gazed in the direction Nuwa had departed, golden light flickering in his eyes.
In terms of beauty, even West Queen Mother fell short.
If West Queen Mother was a fully ripe peach, then Nuwa was a melon blending allure and innocence—fragrant to the nose, and naturally even more delicious to taste.
When it came to wooing women, East King Duke was rich in experience.
The seed of affection in Nuwa's heart had already bloomed; it only awaited the right moment for East King Duke to come and pollinate it, birthing the fruit of love.
"Rest assured, my little sister Nuwa will surely agree!"
Fuxi revealed a knowing expression.
"Fuxi pays respects to the Immortal Emperor!"
Without a moment's hesitation, Fuxi rose and knelt on one knee before East King Duke, expressing his submission.
With the backing of the Hongmeng Immortal Palace, the two siblings would be extremely safe.
Moreover, as the first great power to join the Hongmeng Immortal Palace, once East King Duke fully became the Primordial World Co-Lord, he himself would be a founding-level figure.
His status would certainly be extraordinary.
Proving Dao and Becoming a Saint might only be the beginning of the Great Path.
"Rise quickly. From now on, you shall be East King Duke's right hand, my close friend and kin!"
"This Emperor happens to have an opportunity for you. This is a fortune I recently obtained, capable of compensating for the restrictions of a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure and upgrading it to an Innate Supreme Treasure."
"Fuxi, why not bring out your Fuxi Qin?"
East King Duke moved his right hand, and a purple-gold jade slip floated in the air—it was the Innate Supreme Treasure Upgrade Card rewarded by the system.
Seeing this, Fuxi knew his opportunity had arrived.
He took out the Fuxi Qin and handed it to East King Duke.
Mysterious Light swirled, and qin notes rang out. Endless Dao Resonance emanated from the Fuxi Qin, clearing the mind and immersing one in its melody.
"Go!"
"Wait a moment, and the Fuxi Qin will ascend to an Innate Supreme Treasure!"
With a casual wave, the Fuxi Qin merged with the Innate Supreme Treasure Upgrade Card. Countless purple-gold orders gave birth to Innate Restrictions, Innate Spiritual Qi churned unceasingly, and the Fuxi Qin was forcibly elevated in grade.
Boom!
A thunderous roar, and a majestic aura surged from the Fuxi Qin.
Clang, clang, clang!
A murderous aura swept across, the qin notes shaking billions of miles like a thousand troops and horses.
Mysterious Innate Restrictions shimmered with divine light, and the Dao Resonance of the Innate Supreme Treasure made Fuxi's eyes widen, his heart aching to hold the Fuxi Qin and play it.
The Fuxi Qin—a lethal instrument of melody.
Invisibly, it could sever one's Primordial Spirit and extinguish their True Spirit.
"Fuxi bows in thanks to the Immortal Emperor!"
"From this day forth, this poor Daoist follows the Immortal Emperor, even unto death without regret!"
Heart pounding, hands trembling.
Fuxi gently caressed the Fuxi Qin, then knelt and bowed to East King Duke. The last shred of pride he held as an Innate Deity vanished without a trace.
Following East King Duke—never a regret!
To raise a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure by a full grade was no feat for an ordinary sacred object, yet East King Duke had not been stingy. This gesture moved Fuxi deeply.
Thus, Fuxi held East King Duke in even greater reverence.
How sweet it was!
