Primordial Era: From Primordial Human Race to Grand Luo Immortal

Chapter 52. The Death of Da Yi?

Xihe held a great sun in her hand and charged towards Da Yi, the blazing true fire of the sun illuminating the world.

Under intense killing intent, Da Yi was jolted awake from his daze and instinctively tried to defend himself, but he was unable to move.

The eternal light of the sun star locked onto Da Yi, as if confirming his death.

Even in the face of life and death, Yi still gazed at Chang'e with deep affection.

However, the gaze Chang'e gave him lacked the deep affection of the past, and was instead filled with an extreme coldness like the moon.

Da Yi's eyes quickly dimmed.

Just as Yi was about to perish.

The sky shattered, space froze, and a figure with four wings and six legs broke through the air, revealing Dijiang in his true form as an ancestral witch.

He shouted angrily:
"How brave!"

With a single step, the void stretching for thousands of miles vanished; even the divine light cast by the sun could not obstruct it in the slightest.

In the blink of an eye, the roles of hunter and prey are reversed.

Faced with this devastating attack, Xihe showed no fear.

The next moment, the stars in the sky appeared and transformed into dazzling starlight, blocking the attack. Fuxi, holding the Hetu and Luoshu, strolled out from the starlight.

In that instant, Xihe spat out a mouthful of blood essence, which transformed into a great sun and once again attacked Da Yi.

A new sun appeared in the sky.

Dijiang frantically slashed through the void with his four wings, attempting to forcibly move Da Yi.

"Boom!"

A deep bell rang out, and chaotic energy spread, restoring the shattered void that stretched for thousands of miles.

The Chaos Bell above Donghuang Taiyi's head dropped countless streams of chaotic energy, causing time and space to freeze and space to become imprisoned.

"Dijiang, you're too naive!"

As he spoke, Donghuang Taiyi manifested the laws of heaven and earth, his body rising to a height of 100,000 zhang, and with one hand he pressed down, imprisoning the great Dao of space around Dijiang.

"Insanity!"

Dijiang scoffed. If he wanted to leave, who could stop him?
The Great Dao of Space was operating wildly, and Dijiang tore through the void and disappeared.

Donghuang Taiyi was completely stunned.

"You're not going to save Da Yi?"

At this time, Yi had already been utterly defeated by Xihe.

Donghuang Taiyi stepped forward to examine the space-time at the site of Da Yi's death, but found nothing unusual.

"This doesn't seem like Dijiang's way of doing things."

"However, the fall of Yi, the most likely candidate among the Wu tribe to ascend to the ancestral witch level, is a great thing for our demon race."

"Xihe can finally put her mind at ease."

Donghuang Taiyi looked at Xihe.

Xihe finally smiled, and said sorrowfully:

"My sons, I have finally avenged you."

Then she looked at Donghuang Taiyi and thanked him:

"Taiichi, thank you very much."

Donghuang Taiyi shook his head:
“It is also something I want to do to avenge my nephews.”

Xihe nodded, then looked at Chang'e, the benevolent incarnation of Changxi:

"Sister, thank you so much. Without you, we definitely wouldn't have been able to kill Da Yi."

Chang Xi nodded without saying a word, then transformed into a ray of moonlight and flew back to the Taiyin Star.

"I hope this will help my sister break through this barrier."

Chang Xi sighed softly.

She leaned against the laurel tree and murmured softly:
"The seven emotions and six desires are truly terrifying things."

Then, with a slight tap of her delicate hand, the benevolent corpse slowly merged into her body.

"Ok?"

Changxi activated the Taiyin Dao, forcing the benevolent corpse out.

The moonlight gathered, and the benevolent corpse was sealed within.

"The benevolent corpse has actually developed a sliver of self-awareness."

Over the years, the benevolent corpse has been controlled by a wisp of her thought. He has vivid memories of everything with Da Yi, but so-called emotions cannot cause the slightest fluctuation in her Dao.

"But why does self-awareness arise? Are emotions truly so mysterious?"

Changxi focused his magical power and looked at the benevolent corpse. A red thread flashed past. "A red thread of fate?"

"Could it be that Yi is still alive?"

…………

"Second brother, it still won't work."

Dijiang stood beside the blood pool of the Wu tribe, watching Da Yi slowly condense his physical body, and said to Zhu Jiuyin with some distress.

"It doesn't make sense. His primordial spirit and physical body have all perished, and all karma has dissipated. Why is the Great Dao of Marriage still on Da Yi?"

Zhu Jiuyin frowned deeply.

"Why is the Path of Marriage even more difficult to navigate than the Path of Cause and Effect?"

Since he glimpsed a corner of the future when he discussed the Dao with Ji Yuan, he has paid special attention to Heavenly Witches with great potential, such as Da Yi, in order to preserve the power of the Witch Clan as much as possible.

Shortly after Yi and Chang'e fell in love, he discovered something amiss. He initially intended to kill Chang'e, but he realized that Yi was deeply entangled in emotions and desires. If he were killed, Yi's emotions and desires would also dissipate, leaving him a lifeless corpse.

So he kept silently observing what Chang'e was planning to do. When Chang'e flew to the sky and Yi followed, he not only did not stop her.

Instead, they allowed Da Yi to be killed, letting him see Chang'e's true face. They only needed to quietly capture Da Yi's true spirit and nurture it again.

But now...

Zhu Jiuyin slowly said, "The one who tied the knot must untie it. The Great Dao of Marriage originated from Nuwa. I estimate that only Nuwa can solve this problem."

Dijiang shook his head:
"Leaving aside whether it's feasible for our ancestral witch to ask the demon goddess Nuwa for help, the fact that she dwells in chaos and doesn't concern herself with worldly affairs makes it difficult for us to find her."

Zhu Jiuyin smiled softly:
"Just because we can't find him doesn't mean others can't. You've forgotten that Ji Yuan is not only a disciple of a sage, but also one of the three thousand innate human races created by Nuwa, and has a very deep karmic connection with Nuwa."

"Ji Yuan?"

Dijiang suddenly realized that Ji Yuan's unpredictable methods and mysterious actions had made him overlook the fact that Ji Yuan was a human.

So he spoke:

"In that case, I will go to the East Sea to find him now."

Zhu Jiuyin quickly stopped him, saying:

“It will take at least ten thousand years for Da Yi to fully recover, so there’s no rush. Let Jiu Feng go find Ji Yuan, and we’ll go prepare a gift of thanks.”

Dijiang thought for a moment, nodded, and said:
"That's fine too."

He then instructed Jiufeng to go to the East Sea to invite Ji Yuan.

…………

Ji Yuan was naturally unaware of what had happened between the Lich and Demon races. At this time, the sermon had been going on for over a thousand years and was coming to an end.

"Alright, that concludes the sermon. Fellow disciples, please feel free to ask any questions you may have."

Ji Yuan withdrew the Great Dao, and everyone awoke one after another.

"Senior brother, I want to ask if my comprehension of the Dao of Poison and my use of it for self-protection will tarnish the reputation of our Jie Sect?"

A disciple dressed in black, surrounded by wisps of poisonous aura, inquired.

Ji Yuan could tell at a glance that this was a new disciple, and shook his head as he replied:
"All three thousand paths can lead to enlightenment. The teachings of my Jie Sect are about seizing a lifeline. The Poison Path can help you protect yourself, and the Poison Path is the lifeline you seize. You may use it as you see fit."

At this point, Ji Yuan said with a smile, "But you mustn't poison your own fellow disciples."

The disciple nodded excitedly:
"Thank you for clearing up my doubts, Senior Brother."

"Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Ji Yuan spoke again.

"Senior brother, I'm still here."

The one speaking was the Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal.

"Senior brother, if you have someone you love, should you suppress your feelings or follow them?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan looked at Chang Er Ding Guang Xian and thought to himself:

"So this rabbit actually has a love for something? Well, that's fine, it'll save him from misinterpreting the meaning of Yin and Yang and causing chaos among the people."

He then answered:

"The way of the seven emotions and six desires is also the great way. If you have something you love, you should follow your heart, but never use coercive means or take away what others love."

Upon hearing this, the long-eared Dingguang Immortal nodded excitedly:
"Thank you, senior brother!"

Are there still those who have doubts?

Ji Yuan asked again.

"Senior brother..."

"Senior brother..."
