Chapter 17: We earnestly request the Great God Pangu to distinguish between the loyal and the treach
Bai Chen felt that he couldn't blame himself; it was Houtu's fault for not having a primordial spirit and therefore not being able to activate the innate spiritual soil, a top-grade spiritual treasure.
Even if he gave Houtu the part of the innate soil containing the original essence, Houtu would not be able to use it.
Houtu can only refine and devour the innate soil to enhance her own earth elemental laws, which is a complete waste of resources.
"Houtu, you must not tell anyone else about the Primordial Breath Soil, especially Nuwa!"
"Take the innate spiritual soil I gave you and refine and devour it quickly."
After handing over that portion of the innate soil to Houtu, Bai Chen didn't forget to give her some instructions.
"Um!"
Although Houtu didn't understand why Bai Chen wanted her to keep it a secret, she still nodded in agreement.
Seeing that the matter was resolved, Bai Chen prepared to leave.
But Xuanming still didn't let go of its little tail, not wanting it to leave.
"Lazy Cat, you promised to tell us a secret about enlightenment, didn't you?"
Bai Chen promised Xuan Ming two things, and now Bai Chen has only completed one of them. How could she let Bai Chen get away?
Before, Xuanming would never have believed that Bai Chen knew the secret to attaining enlightenment, but after Bai Chen's confrontation with the innate gourd vine, she began to believe it.
What if this lazy cat really knows the secret to enlightenment?
If my siblings and I hadn't asked, wouldn't we have missed a great opportunity?
"My two sisters, I must remind you of something: this fat cat's cultivation level is not as high as yours."
After hearing what Xuanming said, the ancestral witch Zhurong couldn't help but speak up.
In his view, how could this fat cat, with such weak cultivation, possibly know the opportunity to attain enlightenment?
It was only because of his two silly younger sisters that he was so easily fooled by the fat cat that he, as the older brother, had to speak up and remind them.
Although the ancestral witch Zhurong didn't say it directly, Bai Chen wasn't stupid; he understood what she meant.
"Zhurong, get out of my way! You're not allowed to listen to me!"
Bai Chen raised her little paw, signaling the ancestral witch Zhu Rong to get lost, the farther the better.
"Oh!"
"I, the ancestral sorcerer, am the true descendant of Pangu. Who cares to listen to your lies!"
The ancestral witch Zhurong coldly uttered a word, then left and returned to the Pangu Palace.
The other Ancestral Witches did not leave, not because they believed Bai Chen knew the secrets about attaining enlightenment.
Instead, they wanted to keep an eye on Xuanming Houtu to prevent these two silly sisters from being fooled by Bai Chen.
Bai Chen flew onto Houtu's shoulder, took out a jujube, and said while munching on it:
"Xuanming Houtu, actually, this secret about proving the Dao is not a big secret."
The great god Pangu had already told all living beings in the primordial world, but no one understood it.
"???"
Upon hearing Bai Chen's words, all the Ancestral Witches were completely dumbfounded.
When did their father, Pangu, reveal the secret of enlightenment to the primordial world? How come they, his children, didn't know?
Seeing the bewildered expressions on the faces of the Ancestral Witches, Bai Chen wasn't too surprised and continued to explain:
"Mount Buzhou!"
"Inadequate! Inadequate!"
"Incompleteness is both imperfection and lack of refinement!"
"Mount Buzhou stands tall and shakes the earth; what is incomplete is naturally heaven and earth."
The name Buzhou Mountain never refers to the incompleteness of Buzhou Mountain itself, but rather to the incompleteness and imperfection of the entire prehistoric world.
"Little White, stop talking! Your words are extremely disrespectful to the Father God!"
Before Bai Chen could finish speaking, Hou Tu and Xuan Ming quickly covered his mouth to stop him from continuing.
At the same time, Houtu Xuanming protected Bai Chen to prevent the other enraged Ancestral Witches from attacking him.
"Bai Chen, how dare you!"
"How dare you!"
"..."
The ancestral witches, Dijiang and his sisters, were furious and sternly rebuked Bai Chen.
Bai Chen's statement that the primordial world was incomplete was, in the eyes of the ancestral witches Di Jiang and others, a desecration of their father god Pangu's contribution in creating the primordial world. Furthermore, Pangu had not done his job well and left behind a mess.
This is something that Di Jiang and his group absolutely cannot tolerate!
If it weren't for Xuanming Houtu protecting Bai Chen, they would have killed him long ago.
Bai Chen was furious. He had only meant well by revealing the secret, so how could it be that he, Bai Chen the Great God, was in the wrong?
When did it become wrong to tell the truth?
Increasingly angry, Bai Chen broke free from Xuanming Houtu's protection, bowed respectfully towards the Heavenly Pillar of Buzhou Mountain, and said:
"Great God Pangu above, this little beast is wronged! I beg Great God Pangu to discern the truth from the falsehood!"
Bai Chen didn't know if the great god Pangu had perished, so it decided to take a gamble.
It believes that if the benevolent god Pangu, who loved all living beings in the primordial world, had not completely perished, he would surely have taken charge of things for himself.
As Bai Chen prayed, five divine lights flew from all over Buzhou Mountain, transforming into five jade fragments that appeared before Bai Chen.
"Is this a fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation?"
Bai Chen was startled when he saw the five jade disc fragments.
Although the five fragments were of different sizes, Bai Chen recognized their true nature at a glance.
This is because these five fragments release the same aura as the fragment of the Creation Jade Disc on its body.
To ascertain the details of these five fragments, Bai Chen opened its mouth and spat out its own fragment of the Creation Jade Disc.
The five fragments of the Creation Jade Disc seemed to be attracted and merged with the jade disc fragment in Bai Chen's hand.
Bai Chen looked at the fragment of the Creation Jade Disc, which was several times larger than before, and was overjoyed.
Hehe, now that the Creation Jade Disc in my hands, the great god Bai Chen, has grown considerably, it should be even more powerful.
At the same time, it was a little curious about how many pieces the Chaos Treasure, the Jade Disc of Creation, had broken into.
Where are the other fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation?
How many fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation have the Grandmaster Hongjun collected?
"This little beast thanks the Great God Pangu for the gift!"
Coming to his senses, Bai Chen took the fragment of the Creation Jade Disc and bowed to Buzhou Mountain in gratitude.
After this incident, Bai Chen was fairly certain that perhaps the great god Pangu had not completely perished.
Bai Chen had been wondering why none of the Chaos Gods and Demons, like Hongjun Laozu, whose strength was inferior to that of the Great God Pangu, had all died.
How could Pangu, a god whose strength surpassed that of three thousand chaotic gods and demons, have perished?
Furthermore, why did the Wu tribe in later generations not respect the Way of Heaven, but only the Great God Pangu and the Great Dao? And why were the Wu tribe able to successfully pray to the Great God Pangu?
And after the ancestor Hongjun attained enlightenment, the Heavenly Dao was restored, and the Heavenly Dao could govern all places in the prehistoric world, except for Buzhou Mountain.
Bai Chen now estimates that the remaining will of the great god Pangu may be in the pillar of Buzhou Mountain, thus supporting the heavens and earth and protecting all living beings in the primordial world.
"This is the will of the Father God; the Father God has not fallen!"
"By God the Father!"
"..."
The ancestral witches went mad one by one, bowing and paying homage to the pillar of Buzhou Mountain.
However, the will of the great god Pangu did not respond to them, as if it had never existed.
As time passed, Zhu Jiuyin, the wisest among the Ancestral Witches, was the first to regain his senses.
"Could there truly be imperfections in the primordial world?"
"The Father God's reward to Bai Chen was intended to guide and hint to us that the primordial world is flawed!"
Zhu Jiuyin pondered this incessantly, and the more he pondered it, the more he felt that Bai Chen might be right.
The primordial world created by the Father God Pangu may indeed be incomplete.
