Pangu, the father god, created heaven and earth; Nuwa and Fuxi created humankind.
In the beginning of creation, the first humans carried some divine blood.
The spirits and monsters in the world that transform into gods are called divine beasts.
The four mythical beasts each guard one of the four directions, protecting auspiciousness in their respective regions.
In the beginning, heaven and earth were in harmony, without war or turmoil, and humankind gradually developed its own civilization.
They claimed land, formed tribes, intermarried, and dedicated themselves to procreation.
However, the good times didn't last long. The environment in the wilderness was harsh, and there was very little land suitable for habitation.
A group of people occupied the territory, drew a circle around it, established a regime, and then did not allow outsiders to enter the territory.
Those who had nowhere to go, or those who were too lazy to spend the time to cultivate another piece of land, turned to the embrace of the demon god.
Demons were formed from the turbid energy of heaven and earth at the beginning of creation. For thousands of years, they have remained hidden in a corner and have never come out to disturb mankind.
These resentful humans were the perfect food for the demon god. The demon god devoured their conscience and created the first batch of demon soldiers.
Demon soldiers possess powerful magic and immortality bestowed by the demon god, making them utterly incapable of being resisted by ordinary humans.
Humanity was purged by the demon race. Over the centuries, humanity was almost wiped out, with only a small number of humans surviving. Everywhere was devastation and rivers of blood flowed.
The divine beasts guarding the four directions joined forces to resist the demons, but the demons were like grass in spring; once one crop was cut, another would quickly grow back.
Even the most powerful of the four divine beasts have limited energy.
The Father God is asleep, and the first generation of goddesses, Nuwa and Fuxi, have been in the Transformation Realm for ten thousand years, and have long since stopped concerning themselves with worldly affairs.
The other gods in the human realm, though possessing considerable abilities, are not strong in combat, only slightly stronger than ordinary humans.
After much deliberation, they could only seek help from the gods of the beast race to jointly resist this catastrophe.
Baihu Shuyan's true form is a fierce tiger, more down-to-earth than dragons and phoenixes, making him the most suitable person to represent the people.
However, he was a quiet person and not very talkative. As the leader of the Four Divine Beasts, Qingyao asked Zhuque Junhuang to accompany him to find help.
As for himself, he and Xuanwu Youtu headed to the Qingqiu area.
Qingqiu is the territory of the fox clan, and those who come from this race are not good people. They all cause trouble and then run away, completely disregarding how heartbroken and crazy the unlucky ones who have been seduced are.
The people are suffering terribly these days, and we need these eccentric individuals to emerge. We must use whatever means necessary to eliminate the demons.
Qingqiu is a secluded paradise, with few tribes living around it.
The main purpose of Qingyao and Youtu's trip was actually to visit a very important person.
The Four Divine Beasts existed since the beginning of creation. Also from the same generation as them were the Tu Shan clan of Qingqiu, and the dragon and phoenix Di Rong of the sea tribe.
Hailong indicated that he did not want to participate in this chaotic battle, while Phoenix Emperor's Nirvana attempt failed a thousand years ago, and his divine status perished in the primordial world.
Now we can only ask Tu Shan Mu of Qingqiu to step forward and save the people.
The current king of Qingqiu is Xiuling, a fox spirit with a cultivation of only seven thousand years.
He was forced into this role. Tu Shan Mu of the Fox Clan goes into seclusion once every ten thousand years, and each seclusion lasts for three thousand years. After emerging from seclusion, his cultivation level becomes even more advanced.
A clan cannot be without a leader. With Tu Shan Mu in seclusion, only a junior can take his place.
The story of Tushan Mu is truly legendary.
Of all the gods, he most yearned for the Heavenly Transformation Realm. In another tens of thousands of years, he would be able to meet Nuwa and Emperor Fuxi.
Although they are gods of the same generation, even the four divine beasts combined are probably no match for them.
When Qingyao and Youtu arrived, Tushan Mu had not yet left the pass.
Xiu Ling stopped the two deities. His expression was rigid and serious, unlike the frivolous fox clan members.
"The Supreme God is in seclusion and will not receive guests during this period. If you two have any matters to discuss, Xiu Ling can convey them to you."
You Tu, with her bad temper, immediately turned cold: "You're all living so comfortably, hiding in Qingqiu, indulging in a life of debauchery, unaware that blood is already flowing like rivers outside."
Xiu Ling's face remained expressionless, her expression one of unwavering indifference.
"Our Qingqiu people have lived here for generations. Our clansmen rarely set foot on human territory. We have no grudges or friendships. What does it matter to our clan if blood flows like rivers outside?"
