The Wu ruled the land, while the Yao ruled the skies.
The Primordial World had now been divided between the Wu and Yao Races. The remaining beings of the Ten Thousand Races were scattered and could never amount to much.
As for the Four Seas, the Dragon Clan had withdrawn into the East Sea Abyss, and their strength was naturally insufficient.
On top of that, the Yao Race had its eye on the Four Seas, which were already being quietly occupied. Countless Water Tribe beings had also left the Dragon Clan and joined the Yao Race Heavenly Court.
"Immortal Emperor, you may not know this, but Fengqi Mountain lies within Wu territory. The Twelve Ancestral Witches fear our strength and have yet to lay claim to it, but Wu Tribe settlements surround us. Any move my sister and I make will be noticed by the Wu."
"On top of that, Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi want my younger sister and me to join the Yao Race Heavenly Court as Demon Emperors. So the Wu already bear us a grudge; it's only a matter of time before the Twelve Ancestral Witches make their move."
"If you hadn't come today, my sister and I might have been forced to join the Yao Race sooner or later."
Fuxi sighed and spoke to Dong Wanggong.
The Wu and Yao Races were vying for supremacy in the Primordial World.
The Yao Race had abundant fortune. If Fuxi became a Demon Emperor, he could use the Yao Race's fortune to comprehend Heavenly Dao and easily break through to a higher realm.
He had naturally been tempted by Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi's invitation.
But the war between the Wu and Yao would bring chaos. He feared dying in the battle, which would make it a terrible bargain.
"Fellow Daoist Fuxi, may I ask you plainly: are you willing to join my Hongmeng Immortal Palace?"
Dong Wanggong got straight to the point and stated his true purpose.
Once he won Fuxi over, getting Nuwa into his harem would be much easier.
To cultivate the Great Dao Yin-Yang Art, he had to practice Dual Cultivation with a powerful female immortal. But in the Primordial World, the beautiful female immortals with high cultivation could be counted on one hand.
Nuwa of Fengqi Mountain, Xihe and Changxi of the Moon Star, and Dragon Emperor Ying Long.
Aside from them, there were Yuanfeng, whose fate was unknown, and Yaochi, a child attendant of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
Of those he could approach right now, only Nuwa was an option.
At his words,
Fuxi fell into thought. Dong Wanggong's invitation didn't surprise him.
Ever since their meeting at the First Lecture at Purple Cloud Palace, Fuxi had known that Dong Wanggong was destined to become the Co-Lord of Heaven and Earth. Though he wasn't currently taking part in the struggle for supremacy in the Primordial World, the future was uncertain. Who could say how things would turn out?
"Fellow Daoist Dong Wanggong, if you intend to vie for supremacy in the Primordial World, my younger sister and I can help you achieve great things."
"The Wu and Yao run rampant, bringing endless slaughter. If you were to govern all the races of the Primordial World, there would be far less strife under Heaven!"
Fuxi spoke slowly, sharing his own view of the situation.
The Wu Race disrespected Heavenly Dao, revering Pangu alone.
They failed to understand that only by following Heavenly Dao could anyone in the Primordial World obtain supreme opportunities.
As for Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi, they were now formidable rivals of Dong Wanggong's, too.
"I have no desire to vie for supremacy in the Primordial World. At least until I possess sufficient cultivation, the fortune of this world and the title of Co-Lord of Heaven and Earth have nothing to do with me."
"If you join my Hongmeng Immortal Palace, Fellow Daoist Fuxi, you'll have my protection. I also promise to help you Prove Dao and Become a Saint. If I speak a single falsehood, may my Dao Heart be destroyed, and may I never attain the Great Dao."
Dong Wanggong shook his head.
Fortune was one of the Three Thousand Great Daos, too.
The Witch-Demon Tribulation, the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, and the Journey to the West Tribulation.
Only after all three tribulations ended would Heavenly Dao Destiny in the Primordial World reach its peak. That would be the moment Dong Wanggong could truly suppress all living beings.
"If the Immortal Emperor doesn't mind, then I'm willing to join the Hongmeng Immortal Palace."
"Moreover, I'd like to offer my younger sister Nuwa to you as a wife. After all, there's no other mighty figure in the Primordial World worthy of her."
"What do you think, Immortal Emperor?"
Fuxi was beside himself with excitement. His goal was finally within reach.
Why follow Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi when following Dong Wanggong would be so much better?
In terms of the number of Innate Supreme Treasures alone, Dong Wanggong outclassed all the Innate Deities. He was surely a man of immense fortune and boundless destiny.
He was shamelessly offering his sister to curry favor.
Dong Wanggong looked at Fuxi, the corners of his mouth lifting into a strange smile.
This wasn't just winning over a mighty Quasi-Saint. This was his long-lost brother-in-law.
What was Nuwa like?
A graceful beauty, naturally—one of the most stunning women in the Primordial World, and the first love of every transmigrator who ended up there. Dong Wanggong naturally wanted her in his harem.
"Fuxi, I'm not talking to you anymore!"
Nuwa's face flushed red. She ran straight into her Dao Palace, flung herself onto the cloud bed, and covered her face with both hands, feeling she could never show herself again.
How could her brother say absolutely anything in front of others?
"So embarrassing! I do admire Dong Wanggong, but there was no need to say it so bluntly. It's mortifying!"
"But if I really could share a bond with him and become his Dao Companion, that might not be such a bad choice!"
Nuwa murmured to herself.
Her delicate face burned as wave after wave of shyness washed over her.
She tried to calm her True Spirit, but the moment she circulated her magic power, Dong Wanggong's image appeared in her mind. His handsome face and broad chest grew ever clearer, making her heart tremble.
Beads of fragrant sweat formed on her skin. Just imagining him left Nuwa feeling restless all over. Dong Wanggong's aura intoxicated her, filling her with a sense of shame.
At the mere thought of him, Nuwa felt as if she were floating on the sea. Her whole body swayed, and her soul grew light and airy.
Her strength left her, as if she were sharing a night at the Jade Terrace with Dong Wanggong!
"Fellow Daoist Fuxi, your sister is not only powerful but also one of the most beautiful women in the Primordial World. Even I am greatly taken with her, and I would gladly become her Dao Companion."
"But marriage is up to your sister. You can't force a melon to ripen!"
Dong Wanggong gazed in the direction Nuwa had gone, his eyes flashing with golden light.
Even West Queen Mother couldn't quite match Nuwa's beauty.
If West Queen Mother was a fully ripe peach, then Nuwa was a muskmelon blending flirtatious charm with youthful freshness—fragrant to the nose and even more delicious to eat.
Dong Wanggong was naturally experienced at winning women over.
The seed of affection in Nuwa's heart had already blossomed. All that remained was to wait for the right moment, when Dong Wanggong could go and pollinate it, bringing forth the fruit of love.
"Don't worry. My younger sister Nuwa will definitely agree!"
Fuxi gave him a look that said he understood perfectly.
"Fuxi pays his respects to the Immortal Emperor!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Fuxi stood and knelt before Dong Wanggong, pledging his allegiance.
With the Hongmeng Immortal Palace as their backing, he and his sister would be safe.
What's more, as the first mighty figure to join the Hongmeng Immortal Palace, he would become a founding elder once Dong Wanggong had fully risen to become the Co-Lord of the Primordial World.
His status would be extraordinary.
Proving Dao and Becoming a Saint would surely be only the beginning of his path to the Great Dao.
"Please, rise. From now on, you'll be my right-hand man, my dear friend and trusted ally!"
"I have just the opportunity for you. It's something I obtained recently, and it can restore the restrictions of a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, elevating it to an Innate Supreme Treasure."
"Fuxi, take out your Fuxi Qin!"
Dong Wanggong moved his right hand. A purple-gold jade tablet appeared in midair. It was the Innate Supreme Treasure Upgrade Card rewarded by the system.
Seeing it, Fuxi knew his opportunity had arrived.
He took out the Fuxi Qin and handed it to Dong Wanggong.
Mystic light flowed across it as waves of music rang out. Boundless Dao Resonance emanated from the Fuxi Qin, clearing the mind and drawing all who heard it into a state of rapture.
"Go!"
"Wait a moment, and the Fuxi Qin will become an Innate Supreme Treasure!"
With a casual wave, Dong Wanggong merged the Fuxi Qin with the Innate Supreme Treasure Upgrade Card. Countless purple-gold laws gave rise to Innate Restrictions, and Innate Spiritual Qi surged as the Fuxi Qin was forcibly upgraded.
BOOM!
A tremendous aura erupted from the Fuxi Qin.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
Killing intent swept in every direction. The music thundered across a hundred million miles like the march of a vast army.
Mystical light flickered across its profound Innate Restrictions. The Dao Resonance of an Innate Supreme Treasure made Fuxi stare in awe. He could hardly wait to cradle the Fuxi Qin and play it.
The Fuxi Qin was a weapon of music and slaughter.
Without a sound, it could cut down a person's True Spirit and destroy their soul.
"Fuxi thanks the Immortal Emperor!"
"From this day on, I will follow you, Immortal Emperor, and never hesitate to give my life!"
His heart raced, and his hands trembled.
Fuxi gently stroked the Fuxi Qin, then knelt before Dong Wanggong. The last trace of pride he'd held as an Innate Deity vanished without a trace.
He would never regret following Dong Wanggong!
Upgrading a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure by an entire grade was beyond the ability of ordinary sacred treasures. Yet Dong Wanggong had given it freely. The gesture moved Fuxi deeply.
From that moment on, Fuxi revered Dong Wanggong all the more.
A deal too good to pass up!
