The Age of Sages Approaches

Hong Jun cursed under his breath, then directly transmitted his voice to Bo Huang: "Boy, I know you're a variable, and I can't do anything about that thing in your Primordial Spirit either. But if you don't convince Nuwa to go to Chaos today, I will kill you without mercy."

"Hong Jun, are you getting cocky? Do you believe I'll go fight you at Zixiao Palace again?" the system interjected.

"Hmph, the Heavenly Dao's grand trend cannot be altered. Don't force me into a desperate struggle." Hong Jun was also getting anxious.

"Ding, quest issued: Persuade Nuwa to open a Daoist field in Chaos. Reward: Creation Heavenly Palace." The system released a new task.

Bo Huang accepted the task, looked at Nuwa, and said, "Aunt, Master achieved sainthood by Establishing a Sect to enlighten all beings. You, however, achieved sainthood through creation, so naturally you should stand above all."

Nuwa was instantly amused. She patted Bo Huang's head and said, "Come on, I'll take you to see how to open a heaven in Chaos. You might gain some insight." With that, she brought Bo Huang into Chaos.

Then, Nuwa took out the Qiankun Cauldron, and the aura of creation spread around her. With a crack, she tore a rift in Chaos. Afterward, she produced the Heavenly Mang Divine Blade and began to carve it out bit by bit.

Just as Wa Huang Tian was being formed and preparations were underway to build Wa Huang Palace, Bo Huang brought out the Creation Heavenly Palace and handed it to Nuwa, saying, "Aunt, what do you think of this palace? Could it serve as a saint's dwelling?"

Nuwa looked at the palace before her, and stars practically sparkled in her eyes. She thought to herself, This Daoist Palace is truly well-built—three thousand Dao completions, Creation Heavenly Palace. Excellent.

Thus, Nuwa waved her hand, changing the plaque on the Creation Heavenly Palace to Wa Huang Palace, and transmitted her voice across the Primordial Wilderness: "Now, Nuwa has attained sainthood. Ten thousand years from now, I will preach the Dao in Chaos. All who are fated may come and listen."

Then, Nuwa said to Bo Huang, "Please take care of the Human Race for me." With that, she handed Bo Huang a plaque inscribed with four large characters: Human Race Envoy.

Bo Huang patted his chest and said, "Easy, leave it to me." He then flew to the Low Mountain and said, "I personally molded all of you. You should recognize me, right?"

"We recognize you, we recognize you!" The crowd immediately bowed down.

"This is the Buzhou Mountain region. The Wu and Yao tribes often clash here, so it's not very safe. I'll take you somewhere else." With that, he swept his sleeve and rolled up the 120,000 People, bringing them to the Shores of the East Sea.

Bo Huang shouted loudly, "Where is the Dragon King of the East Sea? I, Bo Huang, Great Crown Prince of the Demon Race, am here. Please come out and meet me."

With a roar, a dragon's cry rang out, and a Four-Clawed Purple Dragon emerged, saying, "I am Ao Bing, Third Prince of the East Sea Dragon Palace. Crown Prince Bo Huang, you may speak plainly. My father has gone to the Azure Dragon Secret Realm for the Four Seas Assembly."

Bo Huang looked at Ao Bing before him and said, "Train hard. I foresee a calamity in your future that will require great strength to resolve. This is the new race created by Empress Nuwa—the Human Race. I want them to develop along the Shores of the East Sea, so I came specifically to greet and discuss it with the Dragon Clan."

Ao Bing laughed heartily and said, "I can handle this little matter myself. It's just a hundred thousand or so people. Let them stay. With you protecting them, what could go wrong?"

Bo Huang shook his head and said, "It's not as you think. I'll teach them a few things and then leave. I won't interfere too much in daily matters."

Then, Bo Huang took out some food and two wooden sticks, saying, "Today, as the Human Race Envoy, I will teach you the first thing: fire. It can provide warmth and also cook food."

With that, Bo Huang instructed, "The way to make fire follows the principle of Five Elements Mutual Generation. Wood can generate fire. You can study it on your own."

Ao Bing sneaked over, poked Bo Huang's shoulder, and said, "You, a dignified Demon Race Crown Prince, are actually looking after such a weak race and teaching them to play with fire bit by bit? You've got too much free time, haven't you?"

Bo Huang replied, "You don't understand. The Human Race will surely be no weaker than the Dragon Clan in the future. Besides, the humans now have pure hearts. If you spend more time with them, you might gain some insight yourself."
