Taishang and Tongtian stayed in the Yuqing Palace with Yuanshi after returning from the Underworld.
Yuanshi's body also began to radiate Dao. Taishang and Tongtian rejoiced, for after ten thousand years, Yuanshi had finally reached this stage!
In Wa Huang Palace, ever since Fuxi's self-corporeal body entered the cycle of reincarnation, Nuwa had been paying close attention to the Human Race.
Although Fuxi's self-corporeal body was no longer Fuxi, it was related to Fuxi's attainment of sainthood, so Nuwa naturally paid extra attention!
Just as Taishang and Tongtian were immersed in ecstatic joy, Fuxi suddenly requested an audience.
Taishang emerged from Yuqing Peak and saw Fuxi being stopped by Taiyi at the foot of the peak. Upon seeing Taishang, Fuxi spoke:
"Holy Lord, ever since my self-corporeal body entered reincarnation, I have felt a vague unease. I have come seeking your counsel!"
Hearing this, Taishang immediately began to calculate with his fingers. After a moment, he spoke:
"Fuxi, the name Fuxi is inextricably linked to the destiny of the Human Race. Are you willing to relinquish this name?"
Taishang had not expected Fuxi to bear the name of the Human Emperor, which was tied to the Human Race's destiny. Originally, Fuxi was meant to enter reincarnation, but due to their interference, Fuxi did not perish, leading to this awkward situation!
Fuxi frowned upon hearing this and, after pondering for a moment, replied:
"Holy Lord, rest assured. I shall immediately make a Heavenly Oath. For the sake of the Human Race, I am willing to cast aside my three corporeal bodies, let alone just a name!"
After speaking, Fuxi declared to the Heavenly Dao:
"Heavenly Dao, I, Fuxi, shall henceforth change my name to Tai Hao!"
Fuxi's voice, amplified by the Heavenly Dao, resounded throughout the Primordial World. Nuwa, upon hearing this, was puzzled as to why her brother had changed his name. She quickly calculated and understood the reason!
Nuwa looked towards the direction of the Human Race and sighed faintly:
"Human Race, oh Human Race, I hope you will not disappoint my brother!"
On Mount Sumeru, Jieyin and Zhunti heard Fuxi's voice and looked confused. They then performed their own calculations and, upon understanding the reason, Jieyin looked at Zhunti and said with regret:
"Junior Brother, we saw boundless merit within the name Fuxi. It is a shame someone else got there first!"
Zhunti's face was filled with anguish as he replied:
"How could we not have foreseen the prosperity of the Human Race! It is truly a pity!"
And at the very moment Fuxi changed his name to Tai Hao, a woman of the Huaxu clan in Shouyang Mountain simultaneously went into labor, giving birth to a baby boy!
Instantly, the entire Shouyang Mountain was filled with purple energy, and golden lotuses bloomed in the void!
The patriarch of the Human Race was overjoyed and exclaimed:
"A great sage has been born among our Human Race! Quickly, go and find him! Report back to me immediately! This person will surely lead our Human Race to greatness! He must be protected!"
As the Human Race patriarch's command went out, the entire Human Race erupted in a fervor, searching for the person who had caused such celestial phenomena. Su Dan Novel Network
Meanwhile, Nuwa in Wa Huang Palace and Taishang immediately rushed towards the Human Race.
Jieyin and Zhunti on Mount Sumeru also hurried towards Shouyang Mountain. They were all aware of the child's importance to the Human Race.
If they could guide this child into their Western Teachings, they could also gain a share of the Human Race's merit!
Last time they had tried to guide the Human Race into the Western Teachings, but Tongtian had informed them that the Human Race all cultivated the techniques created by the Three Pure Ones and were therefore disciples of the Daoist sect.
This time, they would directly target this child. They could no longer give the Three Pure Ones any reason to intervene. The child had just been born; they couldn't claim this child also cultivated Daoist techniques!
However, this child, who had drawn the attention of the four Sages of the Primordial World, was now being branded a monster by the people of the Huaxu clan.
This child was born with a unique anomaly: he had no legs, but a serpent's tail!
The people had never seen such a sight and called the child a monster, wanting to expel him from the Human Race. His mother, however, did not want her newborn child to be treated in such a manner!
Looking at the child in her arms, with his bright eyes and perfect teeth, the Huaxu woman refused to abandon him. The others then decided to expel both mother and child from the Human Race!
Armed with spears, they gradually drove the mother and son out of the clan.
Seeing the relentless pressure, the woman, still weak from childbirth, slowly walked away with her child in her arms.
The moment the woman stepped out of the clan, Taishang arrived at the Huaxu clan's territory!
Taishang looked at the assembled people and shouted:
"Stop!"
Upon seeing Taishang descend from the sky, the crowd immediately prostrated themselves and said:
"Greetings, Holy Father!"
Taishang looked at them, his anger boiling. He had worked so hard to bring about this child's birth, and they were trying to drive him away!
Taishang comforted himself with the thought that ignorance was not to blame, and then spoke:
"This child is a great being of the Human Race. He can lead the Human Race towards prosperity and strength. He is not an ill omen!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd abandoned their intention to expel the mother and child and welcomed them back.
Taishang's arrival also pointed the way for the Human Race patriarch. The patriarch and the seven elders all headed towards the Huaxu clan.
Upon seeing Taishang, the Human Race high officials immediately bowed. Taishang, seeing them arrive, said:
"This child is extremely important to the Human Race. Remember to protect him well!"
As soon as Taishang finished speaking, he sensed the arrival of Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti. He could understand Nuwa's presence, but why were these two from the Western Teachings here?
The Human Race high officials repeatedly acknowledged his words. When they looked up, Taishang had already vanished.
Sensing the aura of Jieyin and Zhunti, Nuwa's brow furrowed, and she immediately stepped in front of them. Nuwa said coldly:
"What are you doing here?"
Jieyin and Zhunti chuckled and replied:
"Sister, this Primordial World is not yours alone. You have no right to question our presence!"
Nuwa let out a cold snort and said:
"This Primordial World may not be mine, but the Human Race is! What? I haven't settled the score with you for interfering last time, and now you dare to meddle in the affairs of the Human Race again?"
Just as Jieyin and Zhunti were about to speak, Taishang arrived before them, looking at Jieyin and Zhunti with a cold gaze.
Upon seeing Taishang, Jieyin and Zhunti immediately deflated. They had not taken Nuwa seriously, but with Taishang present, they knew they would not gain any advantage in a fight.
With a flick of their sleeves, the two turned and left.
