Chapter 001: Pangu Opens the Sky and Changes Fate
PS: I started a book club named "Jade Flower Fairy Mountain" with the number 235868825...
Day rises and falls, tides rise and fall, white colt passes through the gap, and hundreds of years flow away in the wind and dust. Time has left no mark of erosion on the body of the gods, nor has it taken away the overshadowing shadow from the heads of the Honghuang group of immortals.
After the great war between Xuanwei and Emperor Jun Taiyi, both sides made a promise that no one knew about. However, everyone knew that after Emperor Jun Taiyi returned, he never took any action to suppress or attack the Yu Hua Xian Shan clan again. At the same time, in that battle, Xuanwei single-handedly fought against two emperors of the demon tribe, which also made people no longer dare to underestimate Xuanwei, an existence who had survived from the previous calamity.
The demon tribe's heavenly court calmed down after this battle, but one thing appeared, directly making the heavenly court the center of discussion.
It is said that on that day, for some reason, in the vast expanse of the universe, both heaven and earth, regardless of their cultivation, all living beings with spiritual intelligence knew one thing. Some even delighted in discussing it, using it as a topic of conversation. This matter was that the Sun God, the master of the demon tribe, Emperor Jun, knelt outside the gate of the Taiyin Star Palace, and at the same time asked for the hand in marriage of the two goddesses, Changxi and Xihe, the masters of the Taiyin Star.
When this happened, the Honghuang was in an uproar. Among the many gods, those who knew the inside story were all saying that Emperor Jun was indeed a great man, who could take up and put down, bold and firm, so that yin and yang converged, not only stabilizing his own position as the master of the stars, but also bringing two more powerful gods to the demon tribe. On the other hand, those who did not know the inside story were all laughing at Emperor Jun's actions, losing face and becoming a laughing stock. However, those who knew the inside story were in the minority, so most of the gods were making fun of him, and for a time, many demons in Honghuang couldn't hold their heads up.
Nüwa, Fuxi, Sanqing and other great gods who knew the truth did not speak out: "Emperor Jun's friend this time is really determined, actually putting down his face to propose marriage. If this matter succeeds, it will not only reduce the negative impact of the original Xuanwei Daoist affair, but also bring hope for the revival of the demon clan!"
The phrase "a good girl fears entanglement" is not only suitable for later generations, but also applies to the two goddesses in the Taiyin Temple now. It's said that originally, Changxi and Xihe were both disdainful and even annoyed when Emperor Jun proposed to marry one of them, saying: "You are the master of the sun, and your status among the pre-heavenly star gods is similar to ours. Although you are noble as the Heavenly Emperor and the leader of the demon tribe, how dare you be so presumptuous? What a huge appetite you have!" However, as time passed, seeing Emperor Jun, the dignified master of the demon tribe and the orthodox god of the sun, put aside his dignity and prestige, personally visit the Taiyin star, and kneel down outside the Taiyin Temple, their hearts couldn't help but feel a little strange. For a moment, they thought that Emperor Jun wasn't so despicable after all, and even secretly developed some affection for him.
It's no wonder that since the opening of the vast wilderness, the two energies of yin and yang have been mutually attracted to each other like the poles of a magnet. The marriage between Taiyin and Taiyang is also a predetermined number in heaven. Although Changxi and Xihe are only one step away from becoming saints, they cannot escape the evolution of heavenly numbers.
Throughout the ages, women, no matter how strong-willed, can never escape being described as soft-hearted. Even Tai Yin Xi, who has a demeanor that is in no way inferior to men, becomes restless and uneasy when Emperor Jun kneels outside, like an ant on her back. As for Chang Xi, who already appears gentle, it's even more unbearable. Thus, the two ladies naturally become increasingly anxious with each passing day.
At the time when Emperor Jun had been kneeling in front of the Taiyin Palace for 99 days, the two people inside the palace could no longer hold back. Changxi and Xihe looked at each other, and finally Changxi spoke to Emperor Jun from afar: "Emperor Jun, you have shown your sincerity by doing this. However, there are still three things that need to be clarified. If you agree today, my sister and I will not refuse you either. Firstly, on the day of our wedding, you must come to the Taiyin Palace in person to welcome us, and bring two precious treasures as betrothal gifts to show your sincerity. Secondly, after my sister and I get married, we will not be distinguished from each other, and both of us will be the queen of heaven. In your Taiyang Star Palace, there should be two palaces for my sister and me to live in. Thirdly, on the day of our wedding, you must send out invitations widely and invite all the great powers of the Honghuang world to hold a grand banquet in the Taiyang Palace, so that all living beings in the Honghuang world will know about our marriage!"
It's not easy to talk about these three things, but it's also not too difficult. For example, the third thing is very subtle, such as the Honghuang Great Power in the Xuanwei and the Twelve Ancestors of Witchcraft, which are not good at dealing with the demon tribe. At that time, whether to invite or not is a problem. However, overall, these three requirements are still biased towards the two ladies on the Taiyin star finding an excuse for themselves. Emperor Jun heard this and knew it was a bit embarrassing, but he still agreed one by one and got up to return to the Taiyang Palace.
At that time, the Sun Palace sent out envoys and set a auspicious day with the Moon Palace to discuss all matters. It was agreed that eight days later, they would come to welcome the two princesses. After that, the Sun Palace announced this matter to the world, and the demon tribe also widely distributed wedding invitations, inviting all immortals to gather at the Sun Palace on the auspicious day to celebrate together. As for whether or not to attend after receiving the invitation, it was no longer something they could decide.
This matter was also handled by Emperor Jun, with Kunpeng as the general manager, Fuxi as the master of ceremonies, Nüwa as the matchmaker, and Donghuang Taiyi leading many demons and gods to prepare for the banquet and entertain guests. They were just waiting for the auspicious day to arrive before they all started together. It can be said that it was an unprecedented grand event in the vast wilderness, and truly a spectacular sight. Fuxi, Kunpeng, Nüwa and others did not dare to slack off, so they busied themselves with making arrangements.
Xuanwei received the wedding invitation, although he didn't attend, but also paid attention to it. He knew that Emperor Jun had spent a lot of money this time. The two treasures were not innate, but they were among the best in the world after being cultivated. These two treasures were two pieces of immortal clothes, both made from Emperor Jun's life-bound golden crow fire feathers as the foundation. They were collected from the clear air of the nine heavens and made with the essence of the sun, moon, and stars. On top of that, there were also nine kinds of innate divine bird feathers, including phoenix feathers, bluebird feathers, roc feathers, white crane feathers, swan feathers, hawk feathers, vermilion bird feathers, peacock feathers, and pheasant feathers, which were woven with nine-color silk threads from the heavenly silkworms to create a pattern of sun, moon, and stars. The clothes were also inlaid with various precious stones such as emerald, night pearl, dust-repelling pearl, fire-repelling pearl, water-repelling pearl, cooling pearl, nine-turn pearl, color-fixing pearl, wind-fixing pearl, and crystal pearl. Once worn on the body, they would display a myriad of auspicious colors, including red, yellow, white, black, purple, green, orange, pink, brown, sky blue, pale green, and many others. The uses were endless, and it was truly an extraordinary splendor.
These two celestial garments, although overly luxurious, were indeed the most favored by women at that time. They were exactly what the two goddesses on the Taiyin star liked. Chang Xi was not very good at expressing herself due to her gentle nature, but Xihe was overjoyed and repeatedly praised them, clearly extremely fond of them. Emperor Jun was so considerate, and the two goddesses had almost been forced to accept the grievances of being married to the same husband, which were now largely dissipated. The way they looked at Emperor Jun also gradually became softer.
What happened next was not much different from what Xuanwei had expected. When the newcomers paid homage to heaven and earth, a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky, with five-colored auspicious light and aura descending upon them, containing the aura of Xuan Huang's merits. Among these merits, they were divided into five parts, three of which fell onto the bodies of the three newcomers, one was shared among many participants, and one unexpectedly fell into Nüwa's embroidered ball, bringing her unexpected joy!
Originally, this grand wedding also borrowed the power of Taiyin and Taiyang combining in heaven and earth to confirm the merits of the teachings of yin-yang harmony and inheritance for all living things, with the achievement of promoting the prosperity of all things, having a profound impact, naturally being boundless merit. The embroidered ball in Nüwa's hand is also the most precious treasure of worldly marriage destiny, worthy of this merit. At this time, golden light appears in the embroidered ball, adding a sacred and solemn appearance beyond the mysteriousness of marriage destiny!
The harmony of yin and yang energies, the mutual assistance of yin and yang, all things carrying yin and embracing yang, blending their energies to achieve harmony. This harmonious energy is the vital energy that gives birth to life. Thus, in the vast expanse of the universe, infinite vital energy descends, and countless withered branches sprout new leaves, countless old and worn-out things are reborn, and countless new lives come into being. The multitude of living beings in the universe all feel grateful for the benevolence, facing the sun star with reverence and worship, sincerely extolling the virtue of the union of yin and yang.
It can be seen that the combination of Taiyang and Taiyin is indeed a heavenly number, conforming to the Heavenly Way. From this point on, all things began to go according to Emperor Jun's calculations. Not only did he successfully solidify his position as the master of the multitude of stars, but he also successfully used this achievement to weaken the impact of the original defeat of Emperor Jun on the heavenly court. Moreover, at this time, Changxi and Xihui, the two Taiyin goddesses, borrowed the heavenly merit to successfully cut off one corpse, increase their cultivation, and successfully cross the threshold of Quasi-Sainthood, entering the Mixed Yuan Way. The demon tribe also gained two quasi-saints who had cut off one corpse, which can be described as "one arrow, three eagles", with merits fully achieved.
