Chapter 3, The Origin of the Gourd Vine

I am of the demon race, creating the human race. I shall remain impartial, neither imparting teachings nor accepting disciples, solely to protect the existence of both races

It seems that time travel is not such a bad thing after all

Nuwa said: "At the moment I took the gourd vine, I understood my great path. I shall recreate a race in the primordial chaos, and this race shall be called the Human Race. However, at the time of creating humans, I accepted a disciple from the demon clan, which was an inappropriate action."

Perhaps you should take him as your disciple, as your innate talent for divination also needs a successor

Six gourds

You can take your time to feel this, as it will be greatly beneficial for you said Nuwa, reminding Xu Siyuan

Then Nuwa saw the enormous Sky-Devouring Python shyly lower its head, and with a hint of embarrassment yet immense sincerity, it uttered two words:

Any divination through hexagrams is based on inferring the unknown from the known. Xu Siyuan does not belong to the primordial era; in the primordial era, he has no past, and thus Fuxi cannot deduce anything.

These two thighs are sufficiently large and thick, and one must certainly find a way to embrace them upon encountering them

Is it just a little bit

In the end, Nuwa could no longer bear to watch and said: "You have already cultivated to the Golden Immortal level, can't you transform your form?"

Pangu wielded his own eyes to govern the sun and the moon, his spine transformed into Mount Buzhou to guard the primordial chaos, and his voice became the thunder to replace divine punishment

It is quite commendable that you can walk up to 60,000 zhang. As Xu Siyuan was on the verge of exhaustion, Fuxi approached him, and instantly, the overwhelming pressure of Pangu diminished significantly

This was also Xu Siyuan's first time stepping out of the valley, where the ground was covered with extraordinary flowers and plants on Mount Buzhou, along with other creatures such as mosquitoes larger than cows, monkeys with horns, and singing ants

Fuxi returned the gourd vine to Nüwa: "Sister, have you noticed anything?"

Then Xu Siyuan naturally understood how to transform his form

However, this is not good news for Xu Siyuan

Xu Siyuan has unknowingly trampled countless flowers, grasses, and trees along the way

Thank you for your care, great deity. Although I do not know why, I can feel that Fuxi treats me very well, and Xu Siyuan quickly expressed his gratitude

"What a great deity, merely fortunate to have survived until now." Fuxi obtained a gourd vine from Nüwa to play with

Xu Siyuan slowly followed behind the two women, and as they ascended, the pressure from Pangu grew stronger.

This looks much more pleasing to the eye. Fuxi said with a smile: Let me formally introduce myself, my name is Fuxi, and this is my sister Nüwa

Therefore, this is highly likely to be Xu Siyuan's last opportunity to cling to a powerful ally

This imposing pressure is wild, domineering, ancient, and eternal

The gourd vine cannot give birth to deities; it can only bear six treasures, as for the seventh one

Fuxi briefly introduced his siblings, and Xu Siyuan quickly introduced himself as well

Unchanged by the passage of time, unaffected by the vicissitudes of the years, countless millennia have passed, yet from this overwhelming presence, people can still envision the grandeur of Pangu's complete victory.

Moreover, it is certain that one can eat to their heart's content

No wonder Laozi, adhering to the principle of non-action, has taken on a disciple, while Nuwa has never accepted a student

Magnificent, glorious

After a moment of pause, Fuxi said: "I truly find it difficult to see through you. Your spirit is weak yet full of vitality. I observe your past as a void, and your future as a fog."

My name is Xu Siyuan, and it is a great honor to meet both of you. (I admit that my name is somewhat unconventional, but since I chose it myself, is it too much for me to be the protagonist in my own novel?)

Just by hearing Xu Siyuan repeatedly mention the little snake, one can tell that Xu Siyuan truly wishes to be accepted under the tutelage of Nuwa and Fuxi

"Brother, I have succeeded!" At this moment, Nuwa calmly looked ahead and spoke. Her face showed neither joy nor sorrow, and the great path ahead seemed increasingly tranquil.

Fuxi nodded slightly: "After much contemplation, I have finally discerned some clues. Since there are those who open the heavens and the tools to do so within the chaos, it follows that there must also be those who protect the heavens. After the creation of heaven and earth, the four seasons operate, yin and yang are harmonized, and the cycle of life and death requires the maintenance of deities"

Throughout the ages, there have been countless heroes, yet there is only this one person for all eternity

This gourd vine seems to have originated from chaos, but unfortunately, it was unable to fully develop; otherwise, it would undoubtedly have given birth to something remarkable

So it is with the *picture* book; this gourd vine has not forgotten its years of guardianship. However, although the seventh gourd is destined to belong to itself according to fate, without strength, Xu Siyuan is destined not to obtain that gourd

What we seek is the Way

Xu Siyuan transformed into a man of about twenty years old, whose appearance bore a seventy percent resemblance to Xu Siyuan's previous life, yet was three parts more handsome and appeared younger.

It was only that before the gourd could fully develop, Pangu split open the chaos, and thus these six deities could no longer be born. This is the reason why, despite the boundless and nearly perfect nature of the primordial world, there is no cycle of reincarnation

Fuxi remarked, "You truly are a peculiar fellow; I cannot fathom what you have done to cause that gourd vine to bear only three gourds."

Other deities can be replaced, but the cycle of reincarnation is not something that can be easily established, thus it is destined that in the future, the descendants of Pangu will have to open the cycle of reincarnation

Alone, I open up the world; flesh and blood transform into the primordial wilderness

Nüwa extended her right hand and pointed a finger at Xu Siyuan's forehead

I do not know how you have cultivated to the Golden Immortal stage

Xu Siyuan leisurely walked on Mount Buzhou with his hundred-zhang long body, and along the way, various ferocious beasts fled at the sight of him. Of course, it was more likely that they were fleeing from Fuxi and Nuwa, but it still allowed Xu Siyuan to enjoy a moment of grandeur

Fuxi and Xu Siyuan were moving quickly, and at this moment, the three of them had already reached the summit of Mount Buzhou

Thus, there came to be this primordial gourd vine, upon which six gourds grew. When the gourds ripen and fall, six deities will emerge from within them: one presiding over the four seasons and five elements, one overseeing the alternation of the sun and moon, one governing creation, one in charge of reincarnation, one responsible for guardianship, and one administering divine punishment

Moreover, Fuxi and Nuwa are both great beings of immense power from the primordial era, and both of them lived until the very end

The more Xu Siyuan listened, the colder his heart became, but fortunately, Nuwa finally said: "After all, I have taken your gourd vine, you should follow us for now"

Xu Siyuan whispered: "In fact, besides the three gourds picked by Hongyun and the others, there are also four gourd flowers, which should make a total of seven gourds."

However, fearing that Fuxi might discern something if he continued to look, Xu Siyuan quickly changed the subject: "I don't know what we are going to do at the mountain top; I feel that the further we walk, the more difficult it becomes to breathe"

It seems that Fuxi knows what Xu Siyuan is afraid of. Looking at Xu Siyuan, Fuxi said: "Do not worry, when we reach the realm of Nuwa and me, our path cannot be completed merely with a bit of transformative spiritual liquid. We can only seek transcendence from heaven and earth, and pursue longevity through the Great Dao"

After all, given the opportunity to start over, who wouldn't want to be a bit more handsome

If placed on Earth, Xu Siyuan could completely rely on his looks to make a living

Therefore, Xu Siyuan does not regret having consumed half a pool of the Creation Spirit Liquid

The strongest in the world is undoubtedly deserving of the title

Fuxi looked at Xu Siyuan and said, "That is a reward for you!"

No!

I swallowed a small amount of the transformative essence of the gourd vine.

Nüwa and Xu Siyuan walked towards the summit of Mount Buzhou, which is formed from the spine of Pangu and serves as the pillar of the primordial universe

The remnants of Pangu's might still linger in Mount Buzhou, and although it may not be even one ten-thousandth of Pangu's full victory, this pressure is indeed extraordinary

Nüwa is subtly reminding Xu Siyuan not to walk with such a massive body.

This is fate

The gourds on this innate gourd vine have already been picked, and this gourd vine is to be given to Nuwa, so there will no longer be any great powers coming to this valley in the future

Nüwa took the gourd vine and said: "I do not like to engage in conflict, nor do I have the habit of collecting spiritual treasures. However, I feel that this gourd vine is indeed useful to me. I will accept this treasure, but I still need to consider taking on disciples."

The higher he ascended, the more Xu Siyuan could feel the might of Pangu; even a mere trace of its lingering aura seemed to surpass the oppressive force experienced during the harmonious union of Hongjun.

All of this opened Xu Siyuan's eyes

Fuxi shook his head and said: "The innate divine calculation places the utmost importance on the spirit; his spirit is too weak, thus he is not suitable to inherit my great path"

It is only natural that the innate gourd vine did not give birth to an innate deity, yet it gave rise to a postnatal race through the hands of my sister. The great path leaves no trace, yet there are clues to follow. Is my path not correct!
