Chaos Spirit Field

As time went by, day by day, Yang Xiaochan gained some understanding and decided to retreat to practice. Zhao Shanhe left Huashan. When he saw the woman waiting outside, he couldn't help but feel a headache. After some thought, he didn't choose to hide and avoid her. Instead, he took the initiative to walk forward and greeted her: "Nuwa, long time no see."

Nuwa smiled and replied, "Zhao Shanhe, it's been a long time since we last met. I originally thought you were avoiding me."

Zhao Shanhe said jokingly, "Nuwa, I don't owe you anything, so why should I hide from you? Old friends, why don't we go find a place to have a drink?"

Nuwa nodded in agreement: "Your fine wine is indeed quite nostalgic. The Wa Palace is quite quiet and no one will disturb us."

"Let's go. I'll take a look at your dojo."

Before he finished speaking, the two of them instantly appeared in the Nuwa Palace. Zhao Shanhe looked around and said with emotion, "Nuwa, this Nuwa Palace is like a huge cage. No wonder you always like to run around."

Nuwa echoed, "Who says it isn't? When I built the Wa Palace, I thought it was the demon race's respect and love for me. It wasn't until I visited your home planet, Earth, and read many books written by mortals, and understood the meaning of "greater achievements than the master," that I realized it was Taiyi and Dijun's wariness of me!"

Zhao Shanhe smiled slightly after hearing this and said with emotion, "Although mortals are insignificant, they also have their own wisdom. Those high and mighty immortals can sometimes be quite foolish."

Nuwa said coquettishly, "Zhao Shanhe, when we were traveling west, were you particularly annoyed with me?"

Zhao Shanhe said frankly, "I had to hide my identity as Zhao Zilong at the time, worried about being discovered, so I was indeed a little afraid of seeing you. As for being particularly annoyed, it's not that serious. There's a saying that goes, 'Beauty is a feast for the eyes,' and it's quite pleasant to drink and chat with you. Let's drink and talk."

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Nuwa's face flushed slightly, as if she was a little drunk. She must have done it on purpose. She smiled and said, "Actually, being a mortal is not bad. I can experience birth, old age, sickness and death, joy, anger, sorrow and happiness."

Zhao Shanhe shook his head and jokingly said, "You're talking without thinking. You only see the bright side and fail to appreciate the humbleness of mortals. Sometimes even breathing is a sin. Heaven and earth are unkind, treating all things as straw dogs. Sages are also unkind, treating the people as straw dogs. If you were given the opportunity to choose, would you rather be a straw dog or a chess piece?"

Nuwa said coquettishly, "Zhao Shanhe, why do I feel like you are scolding me?"

Zhao Shanhe replied with a smile, "I was just making an analogy. Anyone who dares to treat Nuwa as a straw dog will suffer a catastrophe in the Three Realms. It has nothing to do with me, and I will not participate."

Nuwa smiled and said, "You said it, don't go back on your word. Although I know the chances are slim, I still want to give it a try. Just in case a lucky break comes, don't you agree?"

Zhao Shanhe didn't refute him. Instead, he smiled and agreed, "Give it a try! A bicycle can become a motorcycle. It seems you've learned a lot of useful knowledge on Earth. The strategy of building a plank road in the open while secretly attacking Chencang has been put to good use."

Nuwa smiled charmingly and said softly, "Zhao Shanhe, was I particularly foolish in your eyes back then?"

Zhao Shanhe had a playful smile on his lips, a cunning light flashing in his eyes, and said softly: "Nuwa, monks do not tell lies. I did not deceive you back then." His voice was a little teasing, as if he was quite proud of his past behavior.

Nuwa glared at him coquettishly and said dissatisfiedly, "Humph! Daozu Hongjun and the great god Pangu are both your sons. At that time, I thought you were just joking, but I didn't expect it to be true."

Zhao Shanhe smiled and shook his head, responding, "Nuwa, you can't say that. My sons are Zhao Yunlong and Zhao Yunfei. Their past and present lives cannot be confused."

Nuwa said dissatisfiedly, "Your words are a bit like trying to cover up the truth. They don't think so. Pangu is reckless and Hongjun is selfish. Neither of them is an ideal candidate for the Lord of the World. I think you are the most suitable candidate."

Zhao Shanhe replied with a smile, "Thank you very much, Goddess Nuwa, for your kindness. I feel so humbled and unworthy. The pond of this world is simply too small to support a big fish like me. The world outside is so vast, why should we focus on this instead of going out and exploring?"

Nuwa was silent for a moment before she spoke: "My strength in the Three Realms is just okay, but if I leave this world, I'll probably be at the bottom of the heap. The Three Pure Ones would rather support that fool, Zhunti Saint, than believe in me. Even if I fail in the end, I will make them realize their mistake."

Zhao Shanhe couldn't help but smile. Nuwa looked like a petulant little woman. He softly consoled her, "The Three Pure Ones are certainly not very clever, and Zhunti Saint is far inferior to you."

Nuwa said drunkenly, "Zhao Shanhe, you have good vision. Analyze for me why they support that idiot Zhunti."

Zhao Shanhe saw that Nuwa looked adorable when she was drunk. He smiled and said, "Let me help you analyze this. Pangu created the world and gave birth to the Three Pure Ones. These Three Pure Ones are considered part of this world. They don't have the qualifications to be the master of the world, so they naturally want to find an obedient master. Compared to Zhunti Saint, you seem to have a better chance, but you are too disobedient."

Nuwa Niangniang pressed the issue, "Zhao Shanhe, who do you think has the best chance of becoming the master of the world, Hongjun or Pangu?"

Zhao Shanhe's eyes were deep as he spoke eloquently, "If Zhao Yunfei can gain the support of the Three Pure Ones and become the true Pangu, he will be able to control this world."

After a moment of silence, Nuwa replied softly, "I don't think this is likely. The Three Pure Ones wouldn't sacrifice themselves to help others. Daoist Ancestor Hongjun has achieved fusion with the Dao, so he must have a backup plan. I wonder if he will have the last laugh."

Zhao Shanhe shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice, "The Way of Heaven and World Consciousness are not the same concept. If he cannot recognize this crucial difference, he is doomed to fail."

Nuwa Niangniang showed a playful look on her face and said with a smile: "As a father, don't you plan to give him some advice?"

Zhao Shanhe raised his lips and said jokingly, "I promised you that I would no longer interfere in the catastrophe of the Three Realms. As a man, I must keep my word."

Nuwa rolled her eyes at Zhao Shanhe and said angrily, "Hmph, that's easy to say. You're clearly just looking for an excuse to cover up your bias. Zhao Yunlong is too scheming and truly unpopular. Neither of them has a chance. It seems Zhao Yunduo is the only one who can claim to be the Lord of the World."
