The rain curtain fell, getting heavier and heavier. It was almost impossible to see the surroundings, the sky and the earth. The world seemed to have turned into a chaos, with only heavy rain. The young man in the green shirt just smiled gently, shook his head, and said, "It depends on your definition of Fuxi."

"If the Fuxi you are referring to is just the appearance and aura, you can call me that."

"After all, my appearance comes from him, and my aura is aided by his, so they are almost exactly the same."

"But if the Fuxi you are talking about needs to have his memories, his emotions, his magical powers and realm."

"Then I am not him."

"I am just the spirit of the sound of this zither."

"And my master Fuxi has died at the hands of Yu, perished within the Tao, and has been reduced to ashes."

The young Taoist examined the spirit in front of him and saw that his temperament was as gentle as jade, and as beautiful as a spring breeze, but deep in his eyes there were still traces of madness that Qi Wuhuo had seen in his dream. This seemed to represent the murderous and grim side of the legend of [Destroying the Buddha and Beheading the Emperor], but at this moment it was hidden deep inside and never revealed.

The spirit of the weapon smiled and said in a gentle voice:

"It is because you played this harp and reached the level of a true person that you were able to awaken me."

"I have been silent for several eons, but I am pleasantly surprised."

"I wanted to remind you that you seemed to be contaminated by the calamity, and your spirit naturally avoided knowing the truth about Gou Chen. But it seems that after you broke through the situation yourself, your spirit re-realized the truth. You are smart, worthy of being a disciple of the Supreme. Your spirit is clear and perfect, not inferior to Xuan Du."

Qi Wuhuo said calmly: "So, Gou Chen..."

The spirit of the weapon replied gently, "I know him, because when I was crazy, he was the one who suppressed me, and then handed me over to the Northern Emperor, who sealed me in the netherworld, using the endless cold air of the netherworld to wash away the fierceness of my murderous madness."

"As you guessed, this vast battle of killing and weapons is itself his ritual."

"It's just that you have won a chance for Hou Tu to win."

"Above the sky, the stars do not fall. This means that Gou Chen no longer uses the so-called power of the Lord of All Things, but begins to show his true appearance, representing the concept of fighting spirit, weapons and killing."

The spirit of the weapon looked vaguely solemn.

It was Fuxi's personal magic weapon, but his tone showed respect for Hou Tu and Gou Chen. He smiled and said:

"You know, those two are [Yu]."

"The backgrounds of Hou Tu Emperor, Beiji Emperor and Nanji Emperor are far greater than that of Gou Chen. They were all born in the era of the First Tribulation, the same as the era of the Three Pure Ones. However, Gou Chen Emperor was just a broken divine weapon, so he became spiritual. From the spiritual weapon, he walked step by step to the present."

"After my master's death, I defeated many opponents and achieved the honorable position of Yu."

Qi Wuhuo frowned: "Gou Chen..."

The spirit of the artifact smiled. He now had the face of Fuxi, and his temperament was as gentle as jade. He said, "You don't know about the ancient chronology yet, and you don't know much about Gou Chen. This matter may date back to the death of Queen Wa, and then all the way back to the beginning of the ancient chronology, in the first calamity era."

"Do you know who was the strongest at that time?"

Qi Wuhuo looked at him.

The spirit of the weapon said, "Yes, [One]."

"The Lord of the Ancient Demon Court, Taiyi, was able to seize the honorable position of [One] during the peak era of the Three Pure Ones and the Four Imperial Gods."

"No, or it cannot be said to be the Lord of the Demon Court."

"After all, the name of the demon race was not created until the Second Tribulation Era, when Queen Nuwa created the human race."

"In that era, you should call Him [Lord of All Creations] [One]."

"Tai is the highest, and One is the only one."

"So, he is the Supreme God who is superior to the Taoist Ancestor and the Four Heavenly Emperors. Even in the earliest Taoist scriptures and the ancient legends of the human race, he is revered as the Supreme God. At that time, the Three Pure Ones were still exploring the Dao, and the Four Heavenly Emperors had not yet grown up. Taiyi was the strongest person closest to the Dao."

"Everything was harmonious. The change happened when Queen Wa created a new race one day."

The weapon spirit paused, looked outside, and smiled, "You are very familiar with this."

"Its name is human."

"The creation of humans represents the arrival of the Second Tribulation Era, because the first humans did not belong to the myriad species, and were not created by the heaven and earth. All living things refused to accept them. And the human race at that time was too weak, pitifully weak. Or perhaps it was because the creatures created by the heaven and earth at that time were too powerful..."

"Empress Wa was not a strong person in that era. The human race she created could not possibly surpass all the spirits created by heaven and earth. Could it be compared with Zhulong? Or could it be compared with giants, or those races that were born with longevity? Humans can be said to be the weakest."

"When the first humans tried to reproduce, their offspring didn't even survive for ten years."

"But she has good karma, really good karma."

"The Great Emperor of Longevity in the South Pole granted the naturally reproducing human race ten times the lifespan. In that era, people could naturally live a hundred years, [living a hundred years in spring and autumn, and still be active]. The Three Pure Ones were invited by the Queen Nuwa to pass down the Taoism in the world, and the human race respected them as the ancestors of Taoism, so they were called the ancestors of Taoism."

"The Supreme One also accepted the person created by Queen Nuwa as his disciple and gave him the Taoist name, Xuandu."

"As the human race grew and prospered, conflicts with all living things were inevitable... Eventually, the conflicts grew bigger and bigger, with huge casualties on both sides, and the fights between the gods became more and more intense. In order to protect the human race, Queen Nuwa had to fight with the other gods. Finally, one day, a crack appeared in the sky."

The spirit of the weapon stretched out its finger, pointed at the sky, and said slowly:

"【Taiyi】, take action."

"Tai, Yi, these two words placed above a powerful being naturally represent the highest and most supreme."

"There were many plans, many coincidences, and many unknown parts in that battle."

“But it happened.”

"Zhu Ling fought madly, delaying the arrival of Nan Ji and my Lord, which allowed the clan created by Queen Nuwa to survive."

"Even so, the bloodline has been degraded, and each generation has become inferior to the previous one."

"But Queen Nuwa was wiped out by Taiyi..."

The spirit's voice was slow and calm, still gentle, purely recording something without any emotion. "It is to erase, not to kill."

Qi Wuhuo said: "Erase is..."

The spirit of the weapon replied: "The Great Dao does not exist."

He sighed and said, "So my Lord was sad and angry."

"Seeking the Three Pure Ones, but the Three Pure Ones are outside the Tao, participating in the Great Tao; and the Four Imperial Guardians at that time were seeking the ultimate Tao, also participating in the Great Tao."

"But now the Tao itself has no records or traces of Queen Wa."

"The Great Dao gave birth to all things, and all things comprehend the Great Dao. Now that the Great Dao no longer exists, what can we do?"

"This is not that kind of tiny world. In a tiny world, the Great Dao is unstable, so the earth, water, wind and fire can be redeveloped. But the easier it is to be developed, the weaker and more unstable that world is. In this era when all gods rise up and the Three Pure Ones and the Four Imperial Gods suppress all things, the Three Pure Ones are just one end of the Great Dao. What they seek is to transcend the Dao. How can they break the earth, water, wind and fire?"

"Even the Supreme One would only answer like this: [There is a thing that was created before the heaven and the earth. It is silent and lonely, independent and unchanging, and it circulates without end. It can be the mother of the heaven and the earth. I don't know its name, but I call it Tao.] The Tao is vast, independent and unchanging, and it circulates without end. There is nothing he can do about it."

"The past and the future no longer exist. Even the human race created by Queen Nuwa forgot Queen Nuwa. Their lifespans declined and they began to age and become sick. Even the powerful Four Imperial Guardians slowly forgot about her. Only Tai Shang was the first to leave the Dao in that era, so he still had memories. Apart from them, Shang Qing and Yu Qing also forgot about her."

"And so is my Lord."

“So he became more angry, and while his memory was still there, he and the Southern Pole Changsheng Emperor attacked the Demon Court together.”

"I fought my way through the battlefield and killed many enemies, but I was no match for Taiyi. My Lord fought his way out, and the Southern Emperor Changsheng was detained and tortured, but he was immortal because of his immortality. It was the Northern Emperor who rushed in with a sword and rescued the Southern Emperor Changsheng. But since then, the usually gentle and smiling Southern Emperor Changsheng seems to be a little different..."

"And my Lord, you know what happened next. Three thousand years later, my Lord went insane and was beheaded."

This was the first time Qi Wuhuo knew such ancient secrets.

In an era when my teachers had not yet reached the same heights as they do today.

After a while of shock and confusion, Qi Wuhuo asked:

"Fuxi, has Emperor Xi also forgotten Emperor Nuwa?"

The spirit of the weapon said succinctly: "I forgot."

"The Lord is also in the Dao. The Dao is vast and there is no her in the Dao. How can he escape?"

Qi Wuhuo remained silent, but this period of history seemed different from what he knew. The young man with a snake tail and a human body looked at the seemingly endless rain, paused, and said in a gentle tone: "It's just that before my Lord forgot, he recorded everything and wrote it down."

"And three thousand years later, he did something before he died..."

"Oh……"

"Are you curious why Hou Tu can't control the land of the demon world?"

The young man with the snake tail turned and looked at him sideways with a gentle expression.

Qi Wuhuo was stunned.

The young man smiled and replied, "Because this place is not originally the earth, there will be no earth veins at all. The earth veins have only grown during this period of time, because the demon world itself is in the sky."

He opened his eyes, which were always slightly narrowed with a gentle smile. His vertical pupils, like those of Fuxi, naturally carried a hint of majesty and awe. He pointed to the distance with his finger, and said with a gentle tone:

"My Lord for three thousand years."

"Set up a plan to guide the Three Pure Ones, contain Haotian and dominate the universe."

"Eventually, this demon world, or rather, the ancient heaven."

"Knock it down!"

"Dethroned and cast down to earth!"

"It's for the demon world."

"Then he set up a plan to guide all the major events of the Second Tribulation Era, guided the conflicts among the gods, and finally gathered all the strength to kill the Supreme God [Taiyi], drive away the Candle Dragon, kill Kunpeng, create the Sea of ​​Blood, kill Zhurong, and destroy Gonggong. Everything that the Supreme God Taiyi was proud of was shattered and trampled into the mud."

"Then all spirits will be turned into monsters, and their bloodlines will be degraded and weakened. Their descendants will be transformed into monster beasts and animals, and eaten by humans."

Qi Wuhuo's pupils contracted violently.

The voice of the spirit of the weapon was calm, perhaps as gentle as jade as Fuxi several eons ago.

But the picture represented by the words spoken is extremely brutal and cruel, with overbearing and cold means.

"After this, my Lord has his own goals and plans."

"Perhaps a crazy idea."

"He wanted to destroy everything. This is what later legends recorded as Fuxi's Madness."

"Because he had indeed committed a huge sin of killing. Many immortals, gods, and humans were killed..."

"Using Haotian's Four Imperial Guards, we attacked the demon court, killed the ancient god, and exiled Zhulong. Everything was like a big chess game, and the Three Pure Ones were also in it. They were breaking through and jumping out of the Great Dao. At that time, the Four Imperial Guards, and even Haotian, were unable to stop the last step of the temporary stay. The Four Imperial Guards were too late, and Haotian was also restrained."

"But he was stopped in the end..."

Qi Wuhuo couldn't help but ask: "Who?"

The gentle young man was silent for a moment, as if he was still immersed in the time when he was held by the Lord Fuxi. He sighed and replied, "It is Gou Chen."

"A war god who was born in a humble family and whose feet could not compare with the Three Pure Ones and the Four Imperial Guardians, but who had been constantly improving step by step in the two calamity eras. In this era when everything was desolate and the demon court was falling, he was at the forefront, constantly getting seriously injured, constantly improving, constantly fighting, and constantly stepping on the meaning of weapons. In the end, he had reached the limit of the Great Emperor, or in other words, he had already reached the level of Imperial Guardians."

"The Lord did not expect that it would be him who would stand in front of him."

"The Lord was already at the [Extreme] level at that time, suppressing Gou Chen by one level in terms of realm, and then the two sides began to fight."

The gentle young man had a calm voice.

It was as if everything was in the game, and all the struggles were constantly pushed forward until the last step, until the final battle; until the frontal battle between the ruthless and domineering Emperor Xi, and the silent and forward-moving Gou Chen, who had spent two calamities, fought countless times, been seriously injured countless times, and got up countless times.

The spirit of the weapon said: "In the end, the Lord was defeated."

Qi Wuhuo was stunned.

The spirit of the weapon smiled:

"No regrets, no holding back, this is the final step of the plan."

"Both sides have used all their means and are fighting without reservation."

"In my eyes, Lord Fuxi used all his strength and methods, and then fought fair and square, but was defeated fair and square."

"As for why I am so sure that he did not hold back."

"Because his last move was to fight with the enemy, a fight to the extreme without reservation, not even a single step short, not even a fake fight; he wanted to use weapons and the spirit of killing, and the best target was actually the North Pole, but no one expected that it would be Gou Chen who would appear, and no one expected that Gou Chen would really defeat him..."

"After that, the defeated Lord laughed loudly, and used his own Qi and Yu Zun as a sword to cut off Gou Chen's fighting spirit."

"Then he did something that was decided three thousand years ago."

The young Taoist said: "What is it..."

The spirit of the weapon smiled slightly, his eyes were gentle, just like Fuxi from several eons ago, and he said in a calm voice:

“Since a single Yu is not enough, since the Great Dao transcends everything, since the Great Dao [was created before heaven and earth, is silent and lonely, independent and unchanging, and circulates without end], then let the entire world be sacrificed, and then at the moment when the Three Pure Ones transcend, with the help of the weapon aura of another top Yu, truly let yourself face this [Dao] directly.”

"Draw your sword towards this road."

"Cut the way of heaven, break the rules, and reverse everything."

"From this great road of heaven and earth, we will take back the erased traces of the Queen Nuwa and a glimmer of hope for life."

"That's all."
