Chapter 120: Approaching the Blood Sea

Chapter 120: Chapter 120: Approaching the Blood Sea

Fu Xi’s pupils shrank, and he stepped forward subconsciously, exclaiming in shock, "Sister, do you know what you’re saying?!" His chest heaved violently.

Since the beginning of Heaven and Earth, neither the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, Demon Clan, nor Witch Clan have been the main characters of Heaven and Earth, or to say, the eternal main characters. All clans have been fighting and contending, but none have succeeded.

This shows how challenging it is to become the main character of Heaven and Earth. To achieve that status, one must be favored and acknowledged by Heaven and Earth. Now, to imagine a Postnatal Race becoming the main character of Heaven and Earth, a tremendous storm surged in Fu Xi’s mind, as his sister seemed to be attempting to seize the power of Heaven and Earth.

"The Human Clan are my children; I must plot their future myself."

Fu Xi, feeling uneasy, said, "You’re contesting the position with Heaven and Earth."

"So what if I am?"

"Would the Taoist Ancestor ever allow you to snatch the authority of Heaven and Earth?"

"How would I know without trying?"

"You’re being reckless." Fu Xi pondered for a moment, then solemnly said, "Sister, have you considered that maybe Heaven and Earth don’t need a main character at all? When the Dragon Clan was strong, they had the opposition of the Phoenix Clan. When the Witch Clan was strong, they had the Demon Clan as opponents. This is balance; the Heavenly Dao never intended to establish a main character of Heaven and Earth."

Nuwa nodded her head, smiling as she said, "I know, but I still want to try. If the Human Clan doesn’t become the main character of Heaven and Earth, their weakness will only make them prey for other clans, and that I do not wish to see."

Fu Xi fell silent for a while, then shook his head in dejection, "You are a Saint, with your own decisions to make. But I can’t understand, if you want the Human Clan to vie for the position, why also slaughter them? Their strength would be more advantageous."

Nuwa shook her head, expressing helplessness, "I do not wish it to be so, but the Human Clan is truly too weak, with no qualifications to compete. If they aspire to be the main character of Heaven and Earth, they must take a different path. Sacrificing a generation of the Human Clan in exchange for future Qi Fortune and the support of Heaven and Earth is necessary."

"Do the Human Clan know of this?"

"Of course not!"

Fu Xi spoke solemnly, "The Human Clan should have the right to choose for themselves. Even if they might choose this path, at least they would die without resentment."

"The choice I make for them is the best. Be it resentment or hatred, I do not care."

Fu Xi sighed deeply, "Are the Demon Clan to perish?"

Nuwa nodded, speaking gently, "Big brother, come back! The war between the Witch Demons is about to begin, and the era of the Witch Demons is coming to an end."

Fu Xi shook his head sadly, "I will not return."

Nuwa’s gaze turned piercing, filling the entire hall with a heavy pressure.

Fu Xi smiled faintly, "From the moment I was born until before you became a Saint, I lived in Heaven and Earth without shame. Now, first having betrayed the trust of the Demon Clan, they too are heading toward their end because of me. Then, I instigated the slaughter of the Human Clan, betraying both the Demon Clan and failing the Human Clan."

Nuwa furrowed her brows, "Big brother, what do you intend to do?"

"This life, I will participate in the battle between Witch Demons, to repay the karma I owe the Demon Clan. If I live to return after the war, then my karma is resolved. If I die and fortunately leave behind a wisp of True Spirit, I implore you, little sister, to cast me into the Human Clan, to forever serve as a human, to repay the karma of today’s slaughter."

Nuwa suddenly stood up, landing below the Cloud Bed, and shouted loudly, "I will never agree!"

Fu Xi floated forward, landing in front of Nuwa, and as he gently brushed her long hair by her ears, he said gently, "This is my own choice. If there’s no peace in my heart, one day I will be seized by the Heart Demon. Also, if I suddenly leave now, Di Jun would surely grow suspicious, and your plans would find a flaw. You need me in the Demon Court."

"Big brother..."

"Little sister, you have grown up. I can no longer see clearly, but please, never lose your true self."

"Big Brother..."

"Don’t worry, with my strength, self-preservation is not a problem." Fu Xi turned and walked outside. After stepping out of the great hall, he let out a loud laugh, his laughter fading into the distance.

Nuwa stood dumbly at the edge of the Cloud Bed, muttering, "Big Brother!"

Lingzhu Zi popped his head sneakily from outside the great hall and chuckled, "Wa Niangniang, the great lord is very happy today, he even gave me a slingshot."

With a wave of Nuwa’s hand, Lingzhu Zi screamed and flew out, streaking across the sky like a shooting star and vanishing into the horizon.

Inside the great hall, Nuwa’s gaze hardened, and she murmured to herself, "Big Brother, even for the Human Clan, I will carve out a glorious path for you." Her figure twisted and disappeared in an instant.

...

Bai Jin followed Lady Earth across the murky Primordial Land. Resentment enshrouded the sky, Yin Souls and Fierce Ghosts returned with howls, and the southern part of Buzhou Mountain seemed to have turned into a land of death.

Lady Earth led Bai Jin further and further as the grey fog grew heavier, and more ghostly shadows lurked within the dense mist.

Bai Jin tightened her clothing and whispered, "Lady, where are we going?"

"Bai Jin~"

"I’m here!"

"You said that Between Heaven and Earth, there should be a place to house souls."

Bai Jin paused in her tracks, her gaze towards Lady Earth filled with a bittersweet sorrow.

Lady Earth also stopped, turned around and said with a gentle smile, "What’s wrong?"

Bai Jin responded with a naïve smile, "I was just wondering why Lady suddenly asked about this."

The two continued to walk.

Lady Earth said somberly, "The Human Clan was slaughtered, souls drift between Heaven and Earth, I want to give them a place to reside, and if possible, give them another chance at life."

"Lady is merciful!"

"What do you think should be inside the Reincarnation?"

"There probably needs to be managerial staff, right? Otherwise, with countless souls pouring in, wouldn’t that be chaotic?"

"That makes sense!"

"Also, the manner in which these souls should reincarnate is complicated. There has to be some regulation."

Lady Earth spoke leisurely, "Erasing memories and returning them to their original Three Souls and Seven Spirits is the way. As for the regulations, the myriad species Between Heaven and Earth can be divided into Six Paths: the upper two, the middle two, the lower two. The souls’ reincarnations should differ accordingly; the living judged after death, the virtuous reincarnate to the upper two paths, the mediocre to the middle two paths, and the wicked to the lower two paths."

Bai Jin was dumbfounded. I was about to make some suggestions, but Lady Earth has already thought of it all, and she deeply bowed, saying, "Lady is wise, your disciple is thoroughly convinced!"

Lady Earth continued with a smile, "There should also be a place of punishment. Those stained with evil karma in life must be disciplined before they can enter reincarnation..."

On the journey, it was mostly Lady Earth speaking and Bai Jin listening, only giving suggestions on crucial elements like Ghost Gate, Three-Life Stone, and Wangxiang Platform.

The surrounding environment changed more drastically, shrouded in grey, the ground beneath their feet turning to a dark red as bolts of thunder rumbled across the sky, creating a terrifying scene.

"Lady, where is this?"

"This is the Primordial Blood Sea!" An eerie voice echoed from the sky.

Bai Jin abruptly looked up and saw a figure slowly emerging, an elder clad in a blood-colored robe embroidered with golden patterns, sinister yet noble.

Lady Earth bowed and said, "Fellow Daoist Ming He~"

Ming He returned the gesture with a bow, saying, "I was in secluded cultivation within the Blood Sea, when, on a whim, I sensed distinguished guests arriving. I came out specially to greet you, only to find it is the Houtu Ancestor Witch gracing us with her presence."
