Nüwa knew that there was nothing she could do to salvage the situation. She could only hope that her brother, Fuxi, would be saved. After bidding farewell to Lao Tzu, Nüwa went straight to the Wahuang Heaven, leaving behind Lao Tzu who was deep in thought. No one knew what he was thinking.
… …
In Pingxin City, Houtu's expression changed. She did not expect Lao Tzu to forcefully open the passage to the Six Paths of Reincarnation. The two of them had only fought for a short while in the Six Paths of Reincarnation, but they had already caused some fluctuations in the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Houtu did not dare to use her full strength. After all, in the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Houtu could be said to be the strongest, comparable to Tendo.
Unfortunately, it was also because of her scruples that Fuxi's remnant soul was successfully reincarnated into a human. Although his memories of his previous life were erased, Lao Tzu still succeeded. Fuxi and Houtu had a grudge against each other for killing her brother. Houtu did not expect that his remnant soul would be left in this world. How could Houtu not hate him?
After careful calculation, Houtu figured out the ins and outs of the matter. Her expression became even worse. Fuxi actually had the Life of the Human Sovereign. Houtu naturally could not accept such an outcome. Looking in the direction of the Blood Sea, Houtu's expression became very gloomy.
… …
On the Sacred Island of the Blood Sea, River Styx looked in the direction of the Nether World. He naturally felt the fluctuations in the Six Paths of Reincarnation. He did not expect Nüwa to use karma to ask Lao Tzu to send Fuxi into the Samsara. She was really generous. However, since Fuxi had already been reincarnated, it was time for him to arrange for his disciples to go down the mountain.
Calling Liu Er and Kong Xuan, River Styx said, "The Human Race is about to prosper. We need to establish Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. I am the teacher of the first two of the Three Sovereigns. Therefore, this time, you two have to go to the Human Race. Liu Er will assist the Heavenly Emperor and Kong Xuan will assist the Earthly Emperor. Although the Human Sovereign has not been born yet, you two can go to the Human Race first and experience the suffering of the Human Race. It will be convenient for you two to assist the Human Race in the future."
Liu Er grinned and said, "Teacher, don't worry. With me, assisting the Human Emperor is a piece of cake." Looking at Liu Er's mischievous smile, Kong Xuan was a little speechless. He was afraid that River Styx was most worried about him.
River Styx said seriously, "Liu Er, I am most worried about you. I am not worried about your junior brother Kong Xuan. Although you have become a Quasi-saint, assisting the Human Sovereign does not depend on strength alone. You also need to use your brain. This time when you go out, remember to control your temper. If you cause trouble, I will punish you when you come back. By the way, when you go to the Human Race, remember to change into a human form. Don't scare the Human Race."
Hearing this, Liu Er suddenly became speechless. Since he started cultivating, Liu Er had always maintained his monkey form. Now that River Styx asked him to change into a human form, he was really not used to it. But he knew that humans and demons could not coexist. If he went to the Human Race in this form, not to mention whether he could take the Human Sovereign as his disciple, he was afraid that he would not even be able to enter the Human Race tribe.
River Styx continued, "Liu Er, Kong Xuan, you are all my proud disciples. With your cultivation, I am afraid that no one in the Great Desolation can be your match except for those hidden powerful figures. But this time, assisting the Human Sovereign requires wisdom, not brute force. I hope you won't let me down. If you encounter anything that you don't understand, you can ask me. Got it?"
Hearing this, Liu Er and Kong Xuan bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, teacher. We will go now." After bidding farewell to River Styx, Liu Er and Kong Xuan rode on a cloud and headed for the Human Race. On the way, they separated. This trip to the Human Race not only asked them to assist the Human Sovereign, but also to cultivate their minds. In this case, it was better for them to act separately.
… ….
In the Human Race, there was a tribe called Feng Yan. There was a woman in the tribe who was born in the Zhu Town of Huaxu Mountain. She was called Huaxu by the people. She was good-looking and kind-hearted. She had a good reputation among the Human Race.
In the west of Feng Yan Tribe, there was a Thunder Loch. In the Thunder Loch, there was a Thunder God. He had a human body and a dragon head. His belly was bulging like thunder. According to the ancient legends in the tribe, the Thunder God was an immortal who lived in the sky. He controlled the thunder and punished all the evil in the world. Therefore, the Thunder Loch was the sacred forbidden area of the tribe. No one was allowed to enter the Thunder Loch without permission. Otherwise, they would be expelled from the tribe.
Huaxu grew up listening to the story of the Thunder God. Therefore, she was very curious about the Thunder God. However, she could not violate the tribe's rules. Therefore, she buried it deep in her heart.
One day, a beam of light fell toward the Thunder Loch. Huaxu happened to see it.
When Huaxu saw the beam of light, she could not help but think of the ancient legends in the tribe. She wanted to go to the Thunder Loch to have a look, but she was afraid that she would be expelled from the tribe if others knew about it. After hesitating for a while, her curiosity won out.
Huaxu quietly walked toward the Thunder Loch.
After walking for half a day, Huaxu finally arrived at the edge of the Thunder Loch. Looking at the Thunder Loch, Huaxu hesitated again. After all, once she entered the Thunder Loch, she would be expelled from the tribe.
After a while, curiosity won out again. Huaxu thought, Since I'm already here, it doesn't make a difference whether I enter or not. She then walked into the Thunder Loch.
After entering the Thunder Loch, Huaxu did not see the Thunder God. There were tall reeds everywhere in the Thunder Loch. Huaxu was afraid that she would get lost, so she put down all the reeds she walked past to prevent herself from getting lost.
Huaxu walked for half an hour in the Thunder Loch and saw a large area without reeds. She was curious and quickly walked over. When she got closer, Huaxu was surprised to see a huge footprint not far away. It was about a hundred feet long and two to three feet wide. Huaxu could not help but imagine how small she was compared to the original owner of the footprint!
Huaxu thought to himself, "I'll measure you to see how long you are." He then walked towards the Jumbo Footprint.
When Huaxu walked into the footprint, she felt a colorful light rush toward her and disappeared into her stomach.
After the colorful light entered her body, Huaxu felt like there was something extra in her stomach. She was shocked and didn't have time to play in the Thunder Lake anymore. She quickly ran back to the tribe. After Huaxu returned to the tribe, she felt that her stomach was getting bigger day by day. The people around her also looked at her with strange eyes.
She later found out that she was pregnant.
Since Huaxu was pregnant before marriage, the elders of the tribe asked her about the reason. Huaxu did not bother to hide the truth anymore. She told the elders how she saw the light, how she arrived at the Thunder Loch, and how she saw the Jumbo Footprint.
After listening to Huaxu's story, the elders felt that Huaxu was pregnant with a monster. However, since Huaxu was a kind person, they did not kill her or expel her from the tribe. Instead, they built a small hut for her by the Yu River and left her there to fend for herself.
Huaxu's stomach was getting bigger and bigger, to the point that it affected her movement. After she could no longer work, Huaxu had to face the predicament of not having enough food. Just when Huaxu was worrying about food, a Kirin flew over from the sky with a lotus leaf in its mouth. There were some fruits in the lotus leaf.
After a while, Kirin kept sending food to Huaxu. There were not only fruits, but also some meat.
Huaxu was scared when she saw this. She hid in the hut and did not dare to come out. She only dared to take the food back when Kirin was far away. After a few times, Huaxu got used to Kirin's food. She was no longer scared and slowly lived here.
… ….
After Liu Er left the Blood Sea and parted with his junior apprentice-brother Kong Xuan, he came to the Human Tribe alone. In order to make things easier, he followed River Styx's advice and turned into a human. He wore a Taoist robe and looked young in his early twenties. He did not have the mature feeling of a middle-aged Taoist.
Although Liu Er was playful in daily life, he was very serious when he did things. After coming to the Human Tribe, he began to observe. The current Human Tribe was not the same as before. Most of the people in the tribe were ordinary people who lived by hunting wild beasts and picking wild fruits. Even so, people in the tribe often starved to death.
Liu Er sighed with emotion every time he saw the parting of life and death. Since he became River Styx's disciple, his cultivation had been smooth. Now that he had become a Quasi-saint, he had never faced the parting of life and death. Although the Human Tribe was weak, Liu Er saw human's true nature and tenacity. He began to understand why River Styx valued the Human Tribe.
