Chapter 1408: 945 Nuwa Essence Blood_2

"Hmm, Junior Sister, please wait for a moment, I have another visitor," Jiang Chen said with a peculiar expression as he looked up at the sky outside.

Well, another acquaintance is rushing over. And judging by her aura, she exudes the pure Dao Rhyme of the Mystic Sect, clearly representing the Mystic Sect. This is strange—I haven’t heard of her being involved with the Mystic Sect!

"Today is really odd. All the women connected to me are somehow showing up. Who could be secretly pulling the strings? Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?"

Gradually, Jiang Chen realized something was amiss because the person now hurrying over was none other than his old "acquaintance," Baihua Fairy.

First, it was the Seven Fairies, followed by Chang’e, then Yang Chan, and now Baihua Fairy has arrived. It’s such a coincidence—the ten fairies Jiang Chen encountered at the Washing Filth Spring that year—all came today as if attending a gathering.

If this isn’t someone deliberately arranging things, then it really would be beyond belief.

Jiang Chen had always believed in a saying: in the Prehistoric World, there are no coincidences. All the coincidences you encounter are the result of others’ machinations.

So, Jiang Chen never thought today’s events were merely coincidental.

Internally prompting the Innate Eight Diagrams, Jiang Chen tried to divine who was plotting against him, but, regrettably, he was disappointed. The usually unfailing Innate Eight Diagrams failed at this moment. The divination showed that everything he encountered today was coincidental.

"Impressive, whoever it is—some Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial who has nothing better to do and is scheming against me here."

A coincidence, which Jiang Chen would never believe. If the Innate Eight Diagrams couldn’t figure it out, it only meant that the opponent’s strength was too strong, beyond the capability of the Innate Eight Diagrams.

This immediately narrowed down the suspects. Few beings in the Prehistoric World were beyond Jiang Chen’s divination, all of them being powerful figures at the Primordial Chaos Stage.

Who knows which bored person is hiding in the shadows, plotting against him, waiting to see his show unfold?

With a slight stir in his heart, Jiang Chen’s spirit merged with the Boundless Starry Sky, leveraging the power of the stars to deduce the situation. It didn’t matter that the Innate Eight Diagrams couldn’t discern anything; he still had the Boundless Starry Sky.

The Purple Star Astrology was also among the top divination methods Between Heaven and Earth. Moreover, the power of the Boundless Starry Sky belonged to the Primordial Chaos Stage, which could allow even a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial to deduce some insights.

"It’s Empress Nuwa!"

In the end, Jiang Chen ended his calculations with a strange expression on his face because he found that the one scheming behind his back was none other than Empress Nuwa.

Actually, when you think about it, this is not surprising at all. Many people only remember Empress Nuwa as the holy mother of the Human Race, but they forget that, before creating humans, she was in charge of marriage connections.

What is the purpose of that red embroidered ball? It is the supreme divine object of the path of marriage connections; what people call the "red thread" stems from the red embroidered ball.

Moreover, Empress Nuwa was the first matchmaker in the Prehistoric World. When Di Jun married Xihe, it was Empress Nuwa who was invited to act as the go-between.

The three major marriages of gods, men, and the Earth in the Prehistoric World were all personally managed by Empress Nuwa. Apart from Di Jun and Xihe, the other two couples lived happily ever after.

Considering Empress Nuwa’s original duties, as a matchmaker who controlled the power of marriage connections, then her actions today are quite understandable.

She’s acting as go-between for Jiang Chen!

Speaking of which, it’s about time Jiang Chen got married. Which Human King in history has not married? Heaven and Earth are divided into Yin and Yang—how could humans not follow suit? Without marriage, how is the balance of Yin and Yang maintained, and how to manage the female cultivators in the world?

The main purpose of the Human King marrying a queen is to facilitate the management of female cultivators in the world. Men and women are naturally different, it surely wouldn’t be appropriate for Jiang Chen, a man, to manage the female cultivators, right?

Even the Jade Emperor only manages the male immortals, while all the female immortals fall under the Queen Mother’s jurisdiction.

The existence of a queen serves to represent the Human King in managing the female cultivators. Otherwise, what to do with so many female immortals of the Human Race? Is it appropriate for Jiang Chen to chat with them about family matters and discuss private topics?

With the grand scheme of the Human Race in mind, Empress Nuwa acting as a matchmaker for Jiang Chen—is there anything wrong with it? It’s perfectly right, in fact. If it were spread, people would also say that Empress Nuwa is indeed thoughtful.

In fact, if Empress Nuwa hadn’t intervened, it would not have been long before Jiang Chen’s ancestor, Flame Emperor’s wife Yuan Fei, would have stepped forward to arrange a marriage for Jiang Chen.

After becoming the Human King, Jiang Chen’s marriage was no longer a matter concerning him alone, but a matter for the entire Human Race.

"Ah, I’ve been discovered."

"This youngster Jiang Chen is progressing so quickly. In such a short time, his cultivation is almost catching up to mine."

At the same time, within the chaotic Emperor Wa Palace beyond the heavens, Empress Nuwa seemed to have become aware of something and couldn’t help but laugh out loud. She had not expected that, despite her secrecy, she was still discovered by Jiang Chen.

This gave her a more definite understanding of Jiang Chen’s strength—he was very strong, already approaching a certain Saint.

It wasn’t a matter for a guilty conscience; since she had been discovered, Empress Nuwa simply stopped hiding it and openly started to arrange the selection of consorts for the Human King.

Very well, with this, almost all the Great Divine Transcendents came to know that Empress Nuwa had started her old trade again, preparing to act as matchmaker for Jiang Chen.

Even many Great Divine Transcendents looked at their female disciples and couldn’t help but think, should they take them to visit Empress Nuwa and see if their disciples were a good match for Jiang Chen?

Given Jiang Chen’s current momentum, becoming the Human Emperor was almost a certainty. And the benefits of becoming his wife were too great.

Sharing fate as husband and wife was not merely an expression—it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that while a Quasi-Saint might be out of reach for a Great Divine Transcendent, it was more than enough for them. Just look at the wives of the Three Emperors; which one wasn’t a Quasi-Saint powerhouse?

As long as one married Jiang Chen, one could at least reap a Quasi-Saint Dao Fruit—a truly profitable deal. Even just for their disciples, it was worth a try.

Anyway, after Empress Nuwa announced that she would select consorts for Jiang Chen, many Great Divine Transcendents were tempted.

Even on Moon Star, Xihe’s expression was very unsightly, turning green and then white. Had her cultivation not been at a critical moment, she probably would have already rushed into the chaotic realms beyond the heavens to visit Emperor Wa’s Palace.

She hadn’t been vigilant and had fallen for Empress Nuwa’s scheme, which truly vexed her to the point of spitting blood.

...

"Innate Divine Demon reincarnated. Indeed, those connected with Great Fortune must themselves be people of Great Fortune. The ancients did not deceive me."

When the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers approached Jiang Chen, he couldn’t help but express his sentiment.

The ten women he had met in the past were indeed each more formidable than the last. The Fairy of a Hundred Flowers, who he initially thought had the weakest background, now turned out to be the reincarnation of an Innate Divine Demon, no wonder she was favored by the Queen Mother and taken as a disciple. They all had significant origins.

The reincarnation of an Innate Divine Demon was actually not that rare; during the Ancient Era, the witch and demon two clans had slaughtered countless Innate Divine Demons to vie for supremacy over the world.

In any case, like the Innate Dao Sovereigns, Innate Divine Demons would not die; with the passage of time, the revival of one or two of them was very normal.

"Human King, Tianwei Senior asked me to greet you on his behalf," said the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers as soon as she spoke, causing Jiang Chen’s expression to change.

Tianwei Taoist, one of the three thousand wanderers of the world, a secluded Supreme Saint and a giant of the Mystic Sect.

Jiang Chen hadn’t expected the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers to be able to contact Tianwei Taoist; it seemed her past life was not just a common Innate Divine Demon, else how could she have known such a great figure?

"Does Tianwei Taoist have something to say?" Jiang Chen asked energetically, turning to the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers.

"Tianwei Senior said, he knows what the Human King is thinking, he also knows the plans the Human King has next. He told me to relay a message to you."

"Go ahead, you can rest assured and do what you need to do without any concerns. They will support you with all their might from behind, because they too wish to see everything from the past restored."

"Additionally, Tianwei Senior advised you to be more cautious recently. If they can guess your thoughts, naturally so can your enemies."

"Right now, although they cannot confirm your plans, they have already started to be alert in secret, and many powerful beings are returning to Dongsheng Divine Continent from the chaotic realms beyond."
