The world is in tatters, and Shen Ni patches it up.
Shen Ni is in tatters, and Nuwa patches it up.
~~
"Just now, I acted too hastily and failed to hold back; now it can't be pieced back together." Nuwa sighed, a trace of compassion fleeting across her delicate face.
In her hands, she held a rag doll that looked suspiciously like Shen Ni.
The head of this doll seemed to have been flattened by an incredibly powerful force, a large hole torn at the brow, and the eyes were split, with clear tears trickling from the corners.
The entire doll's body was full of scars, missing arms and legs.
Its buttocks were also gone, probably torn away by some Innate Spirit Root during the recent chaos, now hanging on a withered tree.
Nuwa sustained the integrity of this broken doll with the power of Creation, preventing it from disintegrating into ash.
"I originally wanted to use Shen Ni's body, refine his Dao, and make it a 'Gui Ruins' representing the end for the new world."
"Gui Ruins?"
Beside her, Fu Xi, pretending to be the Innate Constructor[Da Bao Jian], was mending the Grotto Heaven.
Without turning his head, he said, "With Shen Ni as material, it can only serve as a 'Blood Sea' that recycles trash and filth."
"This fits well since his Great Dao is about devouring. Patch it up a bit, and it will be usable."
"You're right," said Nuwa, as she threw the ragdoll Shen Ni into the Mountain and River Map.
Then, she pulled out a bead—a Chaos Spirit Pearl.
This was an equipment drop from their fight with Shen Ni.
An Innate Spiritual Treasure, it seemed pretty decent.
"Daoist, taking it back for lighting wouldn't be bad," continued Fu Xi, staying busy and pretending not to be close with Nuwa.
Nuwa gladly accepted his suggestion.
Many Innate Spirit Roots were really just a group, initially a bit reserved during this meeting.
But having just fought Shen Ni together, things were different now.
They quickly found a common topic, and relationships warmed among them.
[Tour Guide Immortal]Ginsengfruit Tree is rooted in Yujing Mountain and extends to Five Towns Temple.
In a way, backed by both White Jade City and the Taiwei Constellation, he's seen much and knows more.
Now, he was animatedly briefing everyone on how terrible Shen Ni was.
This gave the somewhat naïve and naturally clueless Innate Spirit Roots a comprehensive understanding of "the most evil terrorist of Primordial."
"In any case, if you encounter Shen Ni in the future, either run away or swarm him and beat him to death!"
"Understood!" The[Gourd Merchant]Innate Gourd Vine swayed its robust vines, snapping them through the air.
"Once I return, I'll refine a few Purple Gourds. The next time I see Shen Ni, I'll capture him each time!"
The[Gourd Merchant], possessing many powerful gourds, wouldn't necessarily be at a disadvantage even if facing Shen Ni alone.
The statement from Innate Gourd Vine won the applause of all Spirit Roots.
"As the most evil terrorist of Primordial, our Spirit Root family also needs to contribute!"
To further lighten the mood, [Tour Guide Immortal]Ginsengfruit Tree shared many stories of its travels.
Most were personal experiences of Ginsengfruit Tree, full of legendary colors, captivating all Spirit Roots.
Most Spirit Roots rarely left the protective range of the Innate Array; they were somewhat unfamiliar with external affairs of Primordial, naturally naive and clueless.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so easily lured into the group by Xuanqing.
"Tour Guide Immortal, can you take me on a trip?"
The Fusang Tree [Little Fusang] was like a sunny, cheerful little boy, beloved by everyone.
He was greatly interested and filled with anticipation about the traveling career described by the Ginseng Fruit Tree.
Upon hearing this, the Ginseng Fruit Tree happily agreed, "Of course, no problem! If you want to travel, seeking me, the Tour Guide Immortal, is the right choice!"
"You all don't have to worry about safety at all, with me and [Big Li] here, ordinary Innate Great Gods are no match for us!"
[Big Li] is Yellow Center Li, a man of few words, just standing beside the Ginseng Fruit Tree, like a quiet elder brother.
Seeing everyone eagerly looking forward to it, Yellow Center Li said steadily, "Unless we encounter a Da Luo, I can assure your safety."
"If we do encounter a Da Luo, I will call another Da Luo."
"Yay!" [Yue Yuezi] cheered first.
He is the Innate Laurel of the Moon Palace, usually appearing as a quiet lady, but actually, he is very lively and often bickers with [Three Flowers Empress] in group chats.
Seeing everyone so joyful together, the [Grape Ancestor] Zhun Ti also laughed heartily: "The joy of all beings is my joy!"
"Is Grape Daoist intending to preach?" The Queen Mother of the West, pretending to be an Innate Peach, stayed silent, and Lu Wu, the three-flowered cat, spoke on her behalf.
"Not at all." Zhun Ti laughed and replied, "It's just a spontaneous feeling of joy, with no intention of preaching."
"Hmm, that's best. We're all here for fun, so let's just enjoy together."
Lu Wu lazily sprawled on the treetop, his tail idly swaying.
Such a heartwarming scene, most suited for sleeping.
Fu Xi and Nuwa, the siblings, watched the bustling scene in the Grotto Heaven and felt quite moved.
"Shen Ni is truly a good god!" Nuwa said with a smile.
Shen Ni's arrival added a splendid touch to this gathering.
"Jidou Daoist is also a good god!" Fu Xi suddenly praised Xuanqing.
Nuwa mentioned this gathering to him, and incidentally spoke of her own change of heart.
Relying on the intuition brought by the Heavenly Mechanism Dao, Fu Xi keenly sensed something unusual.
His sister must have been schemed by the chairman.
However, this scheme was harmless and even had a correct guidance, so Fu Xi did not point it out.
"Probably only Xuanqing could have such a variety of odd and strange ideas to gather all the Spirit Roots in the world."
Fu Xi shook his head: "This guy really can't stay idle."
~~~~
"You're pretty much the same."
Hearing Fu Xi's sigh, Xuanqing curled his lip.
We are both Taixu Gods, neither of us should talk about the other.
Those little schemes of yours in the Qilin Clan, I see them very clearly.
After testing around, Xuanqing found that the newly refined Spiritual Treasure Three-Life Stone was still very useful.
"Daoist, your Palm Leaf Fan is ready!"
After the Demon Way Heavenly Group meeting, everyone was done for the day, each returning to their own matters.
Alchemy folk doing alchemy, those setting arrays doing so, researchers researching, creators making demon creatures, weavers weaving nightmares...
After refining the Spiritual Treasure, Xuanqing put the Wind and Fire Palm Leaf Fan into the hands of [Daode Tianzun], replacing the Taiji Talisman.
As Xuanqing predicted, taking the Taiji Talisman didn't cause the forming Dharma Form of [Daode Tianzun] to collapse.
It was precisely after switching to the whimsical Wind and Fire Palm Leaf Fan that his position became even more consolidated.
"A good match of traits! Not bad!"
Xuanqing was quite pleased with his own artifact refining skills.
"As for this Taiji Talisman, it's better to change it to a more familiar form."
Xuanqing looked at the Taiji Talisman in his hand. With a thought, the light of black and white divine splendor surged, creating a miraculous scene.
Whoosh whoosh!!
Amidst the endless brilliance, the Taiji Talisman transformed with the wind, and the Yin Yang fish swam tail-to-mouth through the void.
After a moment, a small Taiji diagram quietly lay in Xuanqing's hand.
"Very good, now it looks like a proper mini-version!"
A serious smile appeared on Xuanqing's face.
He flicked the small Taiji diagram, and the true essence of the all-encompassing Great Dao flowed, sending two bizarre lights, one black and one white, flying into the void.
In the next instant, it transformed into a long Yin Yang bridge.
"No, no, this should be the Taiji Golden Bridge!" Xuanqing stepped on the Yin Yang Long Bridge, stomped his foot, and the black and white bizarre lights instantly turned into golden immortal light.
Xuanqing then enacted the imagery of Heaven Creation and used the small Taiji diagram to separate the clear from the murky, stabilizing earth, water, fire, and wind.
The functions of the Innate Treasure Taiji diagram were all replicated by Xuanqing.
Xuanqing was having a lot of fun with this.
But things weren't going so well for the Taiji diagram itself.
[I feel like I've been hollowed out.]
In White Jade City, the Taiji diagram flew out of a Jade Tower, hovering in the void.
It felt somewhat perplexed, always feeling that something was amiss.
The Pangu Banner, also one of the Heavenly Creation Three Treasures, flew out from the First Heavenly City.
[Little bro, what's the matter? Tell big brother!]
[Go away, what's it to you?]
The Taiji diagram, feeling inexplicably irritable, sensed something.
The Pangu Banner, despised by its good brother, wasn't angry but instead kept circling around the Taiji diagram.
Seeing this, the Qiankun Cauldron also flew over to join the fun.
Already feeling mentally disturbed, the Taiji diagram grumpily said:
[What are you looking at?]
[Looking at you, what about it?]
The three treasures, because of this remark, instantly broke into a fight.
The Yin Yang Daoist, who had just seen the Taiji diagram fly off for no reason and thought something might be wrong, was about to ask.
On seeing this scene, he calmly sat back down.
"Turns out it's just fighting. Let them fight, since in the end, both of you will end up ganging up against the Qiankun Cauldron."
The three treasures often fought when together, and the immortals of White Jade City were used to it.
The Qiankun Immortal glanced over, didn't intervene, and continued to set up his stall.
"The Qiankun Cauldron too, knowing well that no matter how the Taiji diagram and Pangu Banner quarrel, they will end up teaming up to suppress it, still insists on joining in the fun."
~~~
Netherworld.
The three great deities were busy with their own matters.
Wangchuan was diligently cultivating under the Naihe Bridge in the Naihe Realm.
The Naihe Bridge, inherently an augmentative Innate Spiritual Treasure, is liked by Wangchuan because lying beneath it facilitates cultivation.
After the last trip to Piaomiao Great World and being brutally harassed by the "stern teacher" Piaomiao Demon God with endless questions, Wangchuan nearly broke down, but truly learned a lot.
So now he was hard at work cultivating, transforming what he learned from the Piaomiao Demon God into his own Dao.
"Now that the prisoners in Taisha Heavenly Palace are turning official, I can't let them surpass me. Otherwise, my position as the 'fourth giant' among the three great heads of the Netherworld won't be secure anymore!"
As the Yellow Spring River God, Wangchuan was not lacking in foundation, it's just that relative to the three heads, his conscious existence came into being later.
"Alright, this learning cycle is over, let's go validate the results in Sister Meng's Big Dream World."
Wangchuan happily headed to the Three Thousand Dreams.
As he stepped into a world, he bumped head-on into a majestic figure.
"Who are you?" Wangchuan was a bit confused.
This face looked unfamiliar, but the aura was extremely pure, definitely a local deity of Netherworld.
The newly embraced Ghost God of Netherworld looked at Wangchuan with a faint smile.
"You're Wangchuan, right?"
"I've just been promoted to be the second Ghost God of Netherworld, Feimo Yanqing True Master!"
Xuanqing had said that after transforming into a Ghost God, their freedom is not restricted.
Feimo Yanqing True Master, having successfully transformed into a ghost, could now walk independently outside.
He chose not to stay within the sect like his elder brother "Guangcheng Great Saint".
But first, he came to pay respects to the major figure in the sect—Meng Wuyou.
"Feimo Yanqing True Master?"
Wangchuan remembered, wasn't this one of the inmates from Taisha Heavenly Palace?
Now he's turned official?
With this thought, Wangchuan's face lit up with joy.
"Congratulations, Daoist, well done, Daoist!"
"From now on, we're all one family!"
Netherworld had a new deity, so it wouldn't be so lonely anymore, quite good.
Feimo Yanqing True Master modestly smiled, "I am new to being a Ghost God, I will need a lot of guidance from you, Daoist!"
"That's easy to say!"
Wangchuan thought the new Ghost God was very polite, quite admirable.
"By the way, what's your sect name?" Wangchuan curiously asked.
He knew about the affairs of Taisha Heavenly Palace and knew about Chan Sect's inner and outer doors, and that they each had their own sect names.
"Me?"
Feimo Yanqing True Master thought for a moment: "You can call me True Master Yu Ding!"
