"Fellow Daoist, please tell me now."
"First of all, you are all on the wrong path. Fellow Daoist Zhu Rong, don't be impatient, just listen to me. If there is anything wrong, it's not too late to refute it later." Gu Can interrupted Zhu Rong's spell, and Zhu Rong had to suppress his impatience and listen to her quietly.
"You all claim to be descendants of Pangu, born to master the power of laws. But what have you done for this vast land? Pangu's legacy is to hope that you will inherit his will, sort out the vast land and protect all living beings. But what have you done? You are brave and aggressive, robbing and plundering, committing murder and slaughter for territory. Today, the vast land is devastated, and you have all contributed to it. So, is your way wrong?"
"That's right. My Wu clan is the descendant of Pangu. We were born to rule the prehistoric world. It's the demon clan that overestimates its own capabilities and fights with us."
"It seems Fellow Daoist Zhu Rong still doesn't understand what it means to manage the prehistoric world. During the calamity of the ferocious beasts, you weren't even born yet. During the first calamity of the Dragon and Han dynasties, the prehistoric world was filled with evil and resentment. The struggle between Daoists and demons destroyed the western earth veins. You were born with the knowledge of the laws and should have organized the earth veins and maintained the balance of the prehistoric world. But you avoided it. Later, you established the Wu Clan and took charge of the prehistoric land. Do you remember the oath you swore? Everything in the world requires balance. How can you enjoy without giving back?"
"Well, you're quite eloquent. Since the founding of the Primordial World, all the battles and struggles have been fought over the path and destiny. What's wrong with us? Aren't you humans fighting for life and territory with the demons?"
Gu Can looked at the unconvinced ancient witches and waved his hand to summon the water mirror.
"Look, everyone! This is where our human race lives." The humans in the water mirror borrowed the land for cultivation, relying on it for survival. They planted only one crop each year, then carefully tended the land. The cultivated land wasn't depleted by planting; instead, it became even more fertile due to careful care. If trees were cut down, they would be replanted. The humans were grateful for the animals, plants, and crops that helped them survive, and they built temples to honor them. This is how the human race grew stronger, a positive cycle.
Humans also kill and eat meat, but they are not burdened by the karma of sin.
"Everything you gain must be rewarded. This is the principle of the universe. You all only see those who fought for the path and luck during the great calamities, but the only one who truly succeeded was the Dao Ancestor. And what did the Dao Ancestor do after becoming a saint? He preached the Dao in the prehistoric world, became one with the Way of Heaven, and became a part of the prehistoric world. Don't you understand?"
"Even if what you said makes sense, my Wu clan is already in the midst of a catastrophe. What should we do?"
"You are the descendants of Pangu. Great God Pangu has long thought of a way out for you, but you have never cherished it. Now, Fellow Daoist Hou Tu is the last hope for the Wu clan."
"Please explain it to me, fellow Taoist."
"Fellow Daoist, just head towards the sea of blood. The secret will naturally become clear. I have only one thing to say to fellow Daoist Hou Tu: The Three Elements are Heaven, Earth, and Man! Just remember this, and you will be able to distinguish them when the time comes."
"I've got it, but this is the way for my Wu clan to survive. What can it do for you humans?" Hou Tu asked.
"If you succeed, the way forward for our race will be revealed. I hope you can uncover the secrets of heaven and attain the great path soon!"
"Okay, if that day really comes, my Wu clan and the human clan will be at peace forever and help each other." Hou Tu's promise was beyond Gu Can's expectations, but it was not bad either.
