Chapter 793: 622 Empress Xihe_2

Chang’e spoke very seriously, correcting the errors in Jiang Chen’s speech.

Having heard about the innate godliness of the Taiyin Star, Jiang Chen wanted to voice his disbelief. After all, the Taiyin Star only nurtured three innate gods, the first was born before the Great Ancient, the Moon God Wangshu, who had already disappeared from history.

The remaining two were born in the Great Ancient, one was born in the Taiyin Star, namely Heaven’s Empress Xihe. The other was born in Western Kunlun, also known as the Queen Mother.

After the birth of these three gods, the vitality of the Taiyin Star was exhausted and theoretically, it could no longer nurture new life. Even if there was life, it couldn’t possibly be an innate god, it would be an innate demon.

At this moment, when Chang’e said that Changxi was an innate god, Jiang Chen naturally did not believe it, but Chang’e didn’t seem to be lying.

Jiang Chen was even more confused and was about to enquire about Changxi. However, just at that moment, a lazy female voice came from inside the Guanghan Palace: "Sister, who’s outside? Why have you been talking to him for so long?"

Not long after the voice fell, an extremely beautiful woman walked out from the Guanghan Palace. As she walked, she yawned as if she had just woken up, her demeanor was extremely lazy.

This woman was incredibly beautiful, taking beauty to the extreme. It seemed as though the word "beauty" was created just for her. She was the embodiment of beauty, her every gesture exuded endless charm that captivated one’s heart and soul.

Nonetheless, while facing this woman, not a hint of disrespect arose in Jiang Chen’s heart, instead, he was filled with admiration. It seemed as though this woman was not only the embodiment of beauty but also the most noble existence in heaven and earth, one that should be revered alongside them.

Any form of disrespect towards her would result in severe punishment by heaven and earth.

Jiang Chen had never seen Empress Nuwa or the Queen Mother, but he had sensed their aura up close, lofty and infinitely grand. However, the aura of the woman before him seemed even more noble than that of Empress Nuwa.

Her nobility surpassed that of a saint, making it clear that this woman was the most noble woman in the prehistoric world, Heaven’s Empress Xihe.

"It’s really her, Heaven’s Empress Xihe!"

The moment he saw her face, Jiang Chen immediately averted his gaze, not daring to let it linger on her for too long, in order to avoid any misunderstandings.

At the same time, within Jiang Chen’s Sea of Consciousness, the inheritance of the Emperor Xi began to tremble violently. It rapidly sifted through, revealing a hidden secret buried in the Great Ancient, subtly emerging within Jiang Chen’s heart.

It was the record of Di Jun and Xihe, their portraits appeared consecutively in Jiang Chen’s mind.

However, Di Jun was a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial Chaos and traces of his existence were sealed by the saints. Therefore, Jiang Chen couldn’t see his appearance clearly, seeing only a vague light.

On the other hand, he could see the portrait of Heaven’s Empress Xihe which was identical to the woman before him.

Following this, the details of how the two met, as well as their negotiations, were revealed within Jiang Chen’s Sea of Consciousness.

The union of Di Jun and Xihe was a blatant political marriage, not a narrative of love at first sight as mentioned in the legends.

Xihe agreed to marry Di Jun, sharing the fate with him to help him control the boundless starry sky. The condition was that Di Jun could not interfere with her matters and must provide her with equal authority.

In order to gain the power of the Taiyin Star, Di Jun agreed to Xihe’s request, sharing the authority of the Heaven Court with her, making Xihe the most revered goddess in the prehistoric world.

However, Xihe miscalculated. Although the authority of the Heaven Court was equally divided, that of the Demon Clan was not. The Demon Clan was the mainstay of the Heaven Court and they only pledged loyalty to Di Jun and Taiyi.

This led to a situation where, despite holding half of the Heaven Court’s rights and the ability to mobilize that strength, Xihe could do so only with Di Jun’s consent.

If Di Jun disapproves, he could easily snatch away all of Xihe’s rights because her power was granted by Di Jun, not earned through her own struggles.

By the time Xihe recognized this, it was already too late. However, although she hadn’t gained power, the Heavenly Court’s fate was still intact. Assisted by the fate of the Heavenly Court, Xihe’s cultivation speed far exceeded what it used to be. This could also be considered a kind of gain.

But it was from this moment that a fissure gradually formed between Xihe and Di Jun, and with the passage of time, it grew larger.

The inheritance of Emperor Xi continued to unfold, revealing more secrets about them in Jiang Chen’s mind. Time was passing swiftly, and it soon reached the late Great Ancient period.

One day, the original source of the Sun Star trembled, responded to the Destiny of Heaven, and gave birth to ten little Golden Crows. These ten little Golden Crows were all top-level Innate Divine Demons. As soon as they were born, they had the cultivation of a Golden Immortal. After their birth, they recognized Di Jun as their father, and Taiyi as their uncle.

Ever since, the Golden Crow had descendants, the Demon Clan had descendants and the Heavenly Court’s fate surged. Di Jun and Taiyi were overjoyed.

The Heavenly Emperor had sons, the Heavenly Emperor was happy, and the Heavenly Empress was also overjoyed. She personally went to the Sun Temple, consumed her cultivation to sanctify the bodies of the ten Golden Crows with her own essence and blood, granting them the Taiyin bloodline, making them even more perfect.

"Sigh-"

"The ten little Golden Crows were actually not born of the Heavenly Empress, but were bred by the Sun Star. No wonder the last time I came to the Taiyin Star, the Heavenly Empress didn’t kill me."

Only then did Jiang Chen realize that the ten Golden Crows were not the sons of the Heavenly Empress. Subconsciously, he let out a sigh of relief.

When he saw Heavenly Empress Xihe appear, Jiang Chen was truly terrified to the extreme. He had not forgotten that he not only devoured the corpses of her nine sons but also plotted to kill her only surviving son.

Such deep hatred, the hatred of killing her sons, if Jiang Chen were Xihe, he would also not be able to resist slapping himself to death.

But soon, Jiang Chen realized something was wrong. If Xihe really wanted to take action against him, she wouldn’t have waited until now. After all, this was not his first time coming to the Taiyin Star. If Xihe wanted to make a move, she could have done so last time.

Just as Jiang Chen was puzzled as to why Xihe did not take action, the abnormality of Emperor Xi’s inheritance enlightened him to the answer. However, Jiang Chen was still doubtful. Adopted children are also sons, he devoured the corpses of the Golden Crows, so was Xihe really not angry at all?

However, everything recorded in Emperor Xi’s inheritance surprised Jiang Chen and also unraveled the doubts in his heart.

Time continued to flow, and as the little Golden Crows grew older, their strength became increasingly stronger, gradually stepping into the realm of Innate Dao Monarch, but their wisdom had not grown much, just like children who love to play and make noise.

Emperor Xi had some conjectures about this, but he didn’t tell anyone, instead, he recorded it in his inheritance. Emperor Xi conjectured that the behavior of the ten Golden Crows was due to the influence of the Taiyin bloodline.

The Taiyin bloodline bestowed by Xihe on the ten Golden Crows could not merge with their original source, which caused their intelligence to be affected, like children who never grow up.

After that, came the story of Kuafu chasing the sun, and Da Yi shooting the sun. Nine of the ten Golden Crows perished, leaving only one.

Just as the rumors of the later generations suggested, this was entirely the result of the two saints of the West calculating from behind the scenes. At this time, another secret phrase left by Emperor Xi surfaced in his inheritance.

Emperor Xi guessed that although this matter was orchestrated by the two western saints, Xihe also interfered in it. For example, where did the ten Shooting Sun Divine Arrows made from the Innate Laurel Tree in Hou Yi’s hand come from?

The Taiyin Laurel is a sacred object of the Taiyin Star. Without Xihe’s permission, how could outsiders obtain it? However, because it was too obvious, hardly anyone suspected Xihe.

About this, Emperor Xi had quietly investigated. This matter was indeed related to Xihe, but since it implicated too many people, he did not tell anyone. However, Emperor Xi also stated that even though he didn’t say a word, Di Jun had noticed it.

After that, Di Jun personally took action to kill Da Yi and detained a strand of his true spirit, turning it into Wu Gang, who chopped the laurel tree day and night.

This action was a warning to Xihe.
