Primordial Era: Before the Dao Lecture Was Finished, the Ancestor Witches Had All Become Sages - Section 4
For the past hundred thousand years, Houtu had spent her days humming songs and telling all kinds of stories.
Even though she had never received a response, she was not discouraged. She firmly believed that her younger brother would certainly transform and emerge.
But while Houtu was not anxious, the other Ancestor Witches were deeply worried about her.
As time passed, all the Ancestor Witches even began to think that this unborn younger brother had already died and would never be able to transform and emerge.
Even though Dijiang regularly probed the heart and confirmed that its aura was still present.
They still wanted to forcibly drag Houtu away.
The main reason was that Houtu seemed to be getting increasingly deranged!
They were very worried that before this younger brother was born, Houtu would wear herself out first.
In fact, during these hundred thousand years, although Li Hao occasionally woke up, he had never responded to her calls.
The main reason, naturally... was that he was afraid she would cling to him!
Being chuuni really was not a problem. After all, a youth who was not chuuni was no youth at all.
But there had to be a prerequisite: one needed to be within a specific age range.
Once one passed that age, it really was impossible to be chuuni anymore!
Wouldn't one feel waves of embarrassment?
Of course, in pitch-black darkness, the passage of time became blurred.
Thus, he merely felt that the night was rather long. He had no idea that more than two hundred thousand years had actually passed in the outside world.
One day.
Li Hao woke up again, but he did not hear the girl's voice. It seemed that she had already left.
To be honest, he felt somewhat strange inside. Could it be called disappointment? Not entirely!
Could it be called dejection? That did not seem quite right either!
In any case, he felt a little sad!
"Ah! I should have responded back then!"
"I wonder what that girl felt when she left. Was she very sad?"
"After all, she said so much, yet never received the slightest response!"
Li Hao did not know that Houtu had not actually left. She was merely meditating and resting outside.
After all, no one could endure staying awake and active for two hundred thousand years—not even an iron man.
At this moment, Houtu, who had fallen into dormancy, seemed to hear Li Hao's murmuring.
A tear involuntarily slid from the corner of her eye.
One had to know that the Innate beings of the Primordial Era all possessed immortal bodies. They could not produce—or, more accurately, could not retain—bodily secretions.
Nor would they produce filth like postnatal beings.
The Ancestor Witches were naturally Innate beings as well.
Therefore, the moment this tear formed, it was broken down into pure Spiritual Energy and returned to the Primordial Era's world.
Perhaps because Pangu Hall had a special status, or perhaps because Pangu's Heart possessed extraordinary power,
in any case, the tear was not completely broken down. Some of its moisture drifted onto the heart.
Inside the heart, Li Hao had just awakened. He immediately felt waves of warmth rise within his body, rapidly nourishing his internal organs, limbs, and bones.
His body seemed to be filled with power!
In fact, that was exactly what had happened. He had just completed his transformation.
Before this, Li Hao had only been a mass of turbid energy—or, more accurately, half-pure and half-turbid energy.
Now that he had arms and legs, it was only natural that he would feel filled with power.
Just as Li Hao was delighted beyond measure by this situation,
a cold, mechanical voice rang out in his mind.
[Ding! The host has been detected to have successfully transformed and emerged. The Little Auxiliary System has officially activated.]
Li Hao immediately shook his head vigorously, then poked at his ears with his fingers.
He thought to himself, Have I slept for too long? Am I hallucinating?
[Ding! Host, don't overthink it. I am exactly the thing you imagined. Once again, congratulations on successfully transforming and emerging. The Little Auxiliary System is wholeheartedly at your service.]
The voice rang out in his mind again, and Li Hao was completely dumbfounded!
It was not an auditory hallucination!
The Little Auxiliary System! A system?
Wasn't this the sort of scene that could only appear in novels?
This was great! He had stood up and was about to soar into the heavens!
After being stunned for a moment, Li Hao immediately became ecstatic.
Before he had even enjoyed his happiness for long, he suddenly realized something!
Huh? Wait!
Something seemed wrong?
Transform and emerge? And congratulations?
Transform into what?
No way! It couldn't be what he thought, could it?
[Please do not doubt it, host. Just as you suspect, this place is the Primordial Era. Congratulations, host, on successfully transmigrating.] [The host's current body belongs to the Witch Tribe, the thirteenth Ancestor Witch!]
Li Hao wore an expression of profound understanding!
He really wanted to shout, "Good heavens!"
This Little Auxiliary System could even read minds!
Besides, this was the Primordial Era, a place where Great Luo walked everywhere and Golden Immortals were less valuable than dogs.
What was there to congratulate him about after transmigrating here?
Also... wait!
Weren't there only twelve Ancestor Witches? Where had this thirteenth one come from?
Come on!
You're a system, so you're amazing!
Explain this to me. Where did the thirteenth Ancestor Witch come from?
The system did not disappoint Li Hao. It briefly explained the origin of the thirteenth Ancestor Witch.
As it turned out, Li Hao was not merely the thirteenth Ancestor Witch. He could also be called the Fourth Qing.
This was because Pangu perished after creating the world. After his death, he exhaled the Three Pure Qi and twelve streams of turbid energy. However, that was not all of Pangu.
In fact, there had always been a stream of half-pure and half-turbid energy within Pangu's Heart.
It was also the hidden trump card that the great god had left for himself.
Otherwise, how could that old man have dared to resolutely choose to create the world?
However, Pangu had never expected that the trump card he had left for himself—the Pangu Hall formed from his heart—would actually be usurped by the twelve streams of turbid energy.
Even his heart's blood, which was his essence blood, was completely absorbed.
As a result, Pangu's consciousness ultimately had no choice but to dissipate from the world in resentment.
Could this be what they meant by fate working in mysterious ways?
This had also created the conditions for Li Hao's transmigration.
That was roughly how the process went.
After hearing this, Li Hao could not help sucking in a cold breath.
This... this, this... He felt as if his entire person had become unwell!
It was as if he had completely split apart!
This completely overturned everything he knew, didn't it?
This fact was equivalent to saying that the Ancestor Witches, who called themselves Pangu's descendants, had directly killed their own father?
That was absurd, wasn't it?
After his brief shock, Li Hao calmed himself down!
Who had killed Pangu and exactly how he had died—what did that have to do with him?
He could just listen and have a laugh! Why worry about so much?
The Little Auxiliary System's functions were what concerned him most at present.
This was the key to whether he could survive safely in the dangerous Primordial Era.
There could be no room for carelessness. He had to treat it cautiously.
Speaking of which, although Li Hao's nature was quite reckless, this recklessness only applied when dealing with ordinary people.
The people of the Primordial Era could move mountains, fill seas, and destroy heaven and earth with every gesture.
If he charged ahead mindlessly even here, wouldn't that be too foolish?
The system did not disappoint Li Hao. It was not only intelligent but also considerate.
Sensing what he was thinking, it immediately responded.
[The Little Auxiliary System's functions are extremely simple. It only has a daily sign-in function.]
