The Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes is the best birthplace for snakes.
But this only applies to birth.
so.
There is no way there could be any treasures in the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes.
Nuwa couldn't possibly leave anything precious here, because it would be meaningless.
In the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes.
The most precious thing is the Book of the World.
certainly.
It wasn't that the Book of the World chose the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes, but rather that the first serpentine being to discover the existence of the Book of the World in the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes established the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes there.
The Cave of Ten Thousand Serpents exists because of the Book of the World.
When Nuwa was born, she also realized this, which is why she chose to return to the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes a second time after her birth, wanting to take away the Book of the World from there.
But unfortunately.
She failed.
That's right.
Nuwa's first attempt to take the Book of the World failed.
However, later, one of Nuwa's descendants successfully took the Book of the World from here, and this descendant was Xiaoman's direct ancestor.
only.
Nuwa had already perished by then.
The Book of the World falling into the hands of Nuwa's descendants may have been part of Nuwa's plan, or it may have been an accident. But what is undeniable is that when the Book of the World was passed down to Xiaoman, it had already become a complete part of Xiaoman's body.
Or rather...
Xiaoman is the book of the world.
That is precisely why.
Only the guardian spirit of the Ten Thousand Serpent Cave will suggest becoming Daoist partners.
This suggestion wasn't entirely a joke; there was indeed a serious element to it. Only by becoming Xiaoman's Daoist partner could one possibly access the Book of the World as an outsider.
certainly.
The guardian spirit also knew that this suggestion was almost impossible to succeed.
From ancient times to the present.
Throughout countless eras.
Only one person, posing as an outsider and a weakling, became a Daoist partner with a descendant of Nuwa. This person's feelings for the descendant were extremely deep, and their relationship was not intentional; it was not a deliberate attempt to get close to the descendant of Nuwa. This is why such a beautiful story was created.
But such a thing would be impossible nowadays.
Lu Henge does not possess any qualifications to become a Daoist partner of Nuwa's descendant.
even so.
The guardian spirit put aside its intention to underestimate Lu Henge.
The human man before her was unlike any other creature she had ever seen. The vague sense of danger he posed didn't come from his strength or cultivation level, but rather from his intelligence, which she found somewhat disdainful.
"You are as intelligent as Nuwa."
The guardian spirit spoke.
To date.
The guardian spirit had encountered countless snake-like creatures, but very few human creatures. In the guardian spirit's memory, only Nuwa's intelligence and resourcefulness could rival Lu Henge's.
Lu Henge smiled.
Nuwa must have been clever.
An ancestor like Nuwa was definitely not a naive and innocent person. She had her own ideas behind everything she did. Even before her death, having more children was part of her future plans.
Lu Henge had always had a question.
According to the timeline analysis, the so-called creation prophecy appeared in the lives of Nuwa's eldest son and eldest daughter, which means that the creation prophecy was born before Nuwa patched up the sky.
The legendary creation prophecy book has the ability to look back on the past and predict the future.
Didn't Nuwa use the creation prophecy book to predict her own future?
Or is it...?
The creation prophecies could not predict the future of the first ancestors?
If it's the latter, then Lu Henge can understand it. An ancestor-level being is inherently defying the heavens, so it's normal that they can't predict the future. But if it's something else, then that's interesting.
There is a very bold possibility.
Nuwa used the creation prophecy book to predict her future and saw that she would suffer a great loss of lifespan and perish because of mending the sky. However, Nuwa still went ahead with mending the sky according to the predetermined future.
This could potentially involve something terrifying.
Countless cultivators value their lifespan immensely. In order to extend their lifespan indefinitely, some constantly go into seclusion to try to break through, while others repeatedly possess other bodies and are reborn, hoping to live several lifetimes.
And in this environment.
Nuwa actually chose to greatly shorten her own lifespan in order to save all living beings and mend the sky.
That doesn't make sense.
As mentioned earlier, Nuwa is not a naive and innocent girl.
For someone as intelligent as her to make such a huge sacrifice, there are only two possibilities: one is that she can gain other great benefits from mending the sky, even if it means shortening her lifespan; the other is that if the sky is not mended, something will happen that terrifies her.
Thinking about this...
Lu Henge suddenly had another question.
"Since you've put it that way, I'll ask one more question."
Upon hearing this...
The guardian spirit simply nodded.
"You've lived this long, you must know about the existence of the Book of Creation Prophecy, right?" Lu Henge didn't rush to ask, but wanted to see the guardian spirit's attitude and opinion on the Book of Creation Prophecy.
The guardian spirit nodded again: "I know."
The answer is simple.
But Lu Henge could still detect a faint hint of disdain in the guardian spirit's eyes.
That's understandable.
after all.
The Book of the World is no less precious than the Book of Creation Prophecy. As a special entity guarding the Cave of Ten Thousand Serpents, it naturally has a stronger sense of identification with the Book of the World and a greater rejection of the Book of Creation Prophecy.
"Which was first born: the Book of Creation Prophecy or the Book of the World?"
Lu Henge's question was almost like asking a question with the answer already in mind.
Anyone with a modicum of sense could answer Lu Henge's question if they thought about it, but Lu Henge just wanted to hear his guardian spirit's answer.
Or rather...
This question can be phrased differently.
"Do you think this world was born earlier, or that Nuwa's eldest son and eldest daughter were born earlier?" The guardian spirit did not answer directly, but gave Lu Henge the answer in the form of a question.
Upon hearing this...
Lu Henge understood.
The guardian spirit didn't know what Lu Henge was thinking, but subconsciously, she wanted to end the conversation as soon as possible. The more she talked with Lu Henge, the more insecure she felt, as if Lu Henge could see through all her secrets.
“The descendants of Nuwa living in Kunlun Ruins once made a promise to me. But so much time has passed and this promise has not been fulfilled. Could you ask them for me if they still remember this promise and if they still intend to keep it?”
That's it?
Lu Henge was stunned for a moment.
This is way too simple.
Lu Henge's eyes flickered slightly, and he agreed, "Okay, I promise you."
Upon seeing this.
The guardian spirit intends to disappear.
"You can leave now. There's nothing here that you're looking for. Don't disturb my rest anymore. Consider yourself lucky this time, so I won't hold it against you." The guardian spirit began to shoo them away.
immediately.
The guardian spirit disappeared.
In a short time.
Only Lu Henge, Meng Po, and Di Xin remained.
Just as Meng Po was about to speak, Lu Henge shook his head, indicating that she should not say anything more, not even use divine sense to communicate, and should leave this place first.
This cave of ten thousand snakes holds many secrets.
