Lu Yu was about to ask this question when Fuxi directly answered the reason, leaving her still bewildered: "Grandmaster Hongjun wants to see me?"

Fuxi nodded: "This is the Zixiao Palace."

Nuwa's face also showed a hint of nostalgia: "The last time we came to Zixiao Palace was because of a sermon there, tens of thousands of years ago..."

The sermons at Zixiao Palace have been going on for ten thousand years.

Lu Yu was also unsure which period of the primordial mythology we were in now—before or after the war between the two golden crows and the witch clan…

"You don't need to worry so much..."

A gentle voice rang in Lu Yu's ears, and the next moment, a silver-haired old man dressed in purple appeared in front of them.

Lu Yu realized, "Is this Hongjun?"

"What you're thinking about hasn't happened yet, or rather, it hasn't fully happened."

Lu Yu's hand trembled, and he unconsciously grabbed Nuwa's sleeve, trying to find a sense of security.

"I sought you out because of these... people left behind by another world."

Upon hearing that address, the girl's eyes revealed a mocking smile.

She was not acting voluntarily, yet she had to accept being rejected by both her original world and the world she was in now. She was just an ordinary person.

“A hundred years ago, Fuxi used the blood of the seven sages to calculate the Qian hexagram, and we foresaw that the prehistoric world would face a great calamity in the future, and it would be two.”

Hongjun waved his sleeve, gesturing for Lu Yu and the others to sit down.

"The ten princes of the Demon Court were misled by villains and left the Fusang Tree, so we informed the Demon Emperor and the Eastern Emperor beforehand."

Lu Yu understood that although the current prehistoric world was not quite the same as what she knew, it was still a change based on the original.

The tragedy of ten golden crow princes descending to earth should never have happened...

Hongjun's next words shattered her peace of mind.

"But the sky still broke."

The old man, who looked to be in his fifties, sighed: "I did ask Nuwa to refine the five-colored stones according to the divination in advance, just in case, but I never expected that we would actually need them."

"Although the human losses this time were not huge, the survivors still harbored some resentment towards the laws of nature because of this natural disaster."

Lu Yu: "Why? Could it be that the sky is..."

Hongjun nodded: "It is an inevitable calamity, so the Heavenly Dao took action on its own. Although I am a divine being who has become the Heavenly Dao, I cannot control its actions."

"So although we stopped the fall of the Demon Court and the Witch Clan, as compensation, it still required Houtu of the Witch Clan to transform herself into the Six Paths, and from then on, the Witch Clan was reduced to one of twelve."

Did Houtu Niangniang (the Goddess of Earth) still transform into the Six Realms...?

Lu Yu's eyes dimmed slightly. There were only a few female deities she admired in the prehistoric world, including Houtu Niangniang. She never expected that after preventing the tragedy of the Milky Way collapsing, she still could not escape her fate.

"We thought that was the end of it, but then nine of the ten golden crows of the demon race fell into a deep sleep."

Lu Yu's eyes widened: "Isn't this just a replay of the original situation where only one sun remains? Is the way of Heaven really this cruel?"

Hongjun said helplessly, "Our resistance rendered it powerless. Although it put the demon princes to sleep, it also lost one-tenth of its power. So we took advantage of your obsession to contact you."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu immediately expressed her confusion: "Is there something you need from me?"

Hongjun nodded: "The human realm is now ruled by the Shang King. You probably already know what will follow."

Lu Yu nodded: "In the Investiture of the Gods, the last human emperor fell..."

And the conflict between the three religions, Tongtian's imprisonment, and the destruction of the Jie Sect...

Lu Yu subconsciously glanced at the calm young man beside him, as if the person being discussed wasn't him at all.

“That’s right, but this is a situation manipulated by the Heavenly Dao with the assistance of Rahu, and this is not the future we want.”

"The human emperor did not believe in gods or Buddhas, and he abolished human sacrifice because of this."

Moreover, even without gods, he could have done better; he was even leading the people towards a development unique to humanity. However, Heaven did not want the Human Emperor to continue, so it had to change dynasties.

Hongjun poured a cup of tea and, with a wave of his hand, sent an invisible breeze into Lu Yu's hand.

She politely accepted the tea, and seeing that the other saints around her were also taking sips of their own tea, she also brought it to her lips and took a sip. She felt that the depression in her heart had been swept away, and her body and mind had been cleansed.

"At that moment, we saw you through Nuwa..."

Tongtian also took a cup of tea, took a sip, and said softly.

Nuwa smiled, seemingly recalling a sad memory, a trace of sorrow appearing on her face:

"I came to that world through your wish, Little Fish, but I never expected to see..."

Her voice trembled slightly, but she still managed to say the next sentence: "That stone tablet..."

Nuwa shed a tear, and Fuxi gently patted her shoulder, as if to comfort her.

Nuwa raised her head and gave a forced smile to the deer with concerned eyes: "Perhaps it is related to my abilities. When I briefly came to that world, its Heavenly Dao responded to me."

The Way of Heaven? Is it that world consciousness that always rejects her?

Before Lu Yu could figure it out, Nuwa continued, "It hopes I can let you save those gods."

"The ancient gods of that world have already transformed into the earth and cannot be reproduced, but their successors are innocent. Heaven watched as they sacrificed themselves to preserve that land, and although it is invisible, it also tried to stop it."

Ultimately, it failed, but its influence was also present behind the reincarnation and rebirth of those gods.

At this point, Nuwa couldn't help but reveal a hint of pride: "As expected of our fellow gods, they are the only ones in that world who have received the favor of the Heavenly Dao because of their fearless actions."

"So the Heavenly Dao wants Your Majesty to help reshape the physical bodies of those immortals?"

Lu Yu frowned and asked, "But this will be possible in the future, won't it?"

"This is different. With gods of the same origin like us around, that world will find it much easier to resist external gods."

Moreover, the Western barbarian gods have already disrupted the rules to a state of utter chaos, and the Heavenly Dao itself has been severely damaged.

Nuwa found this somewhat amusing:

"Our Heavenly Dao is always thinking about how to kill us and turn us into its power, while the Heavenly Dao of that world wants its gods to live well..."

Hongjun nodded: "It is because of you that we have deepened the connection between the two realms."

That Heavenly Dao also explained to me that as long as we help you revive the gods and resist external enemies, it can accept the primordial world into that world, making it a realm similar to what humans call a fairyland, free from the control of the Heavenly Dao.

The deer understood, just like replacing a computer's main unit.

"This is a win-win situation. We are no longer controlled by the Heavenly Dao, the other Heavenly Dao world can be restored to peace, and the human world here will no longer be suppressed by gods and Buddhas."

Hongjun put down his teacup and turned his gaze back to Lu Yu, his eyes bright:

"So we decided... to change the Heavenly Dao."
