I have the future of the Su family... and I entrust it to you!

Nuwa's words at this moment were not exactly polite.

In fact, if it weren't for Shi Yuan's great kindness to the demon race by reshaping Wang Shu's true spirit, then...

She wouldn't even consider Shi Yuan's request.

After all, the Fusang Divine Tree is the tree of destiny for the demon race.

It is closely linked to the fate of the demon race.

While separating the original tree species won't fundamentally damage it, the fate of the demon race will inevitably suffer some degree of harm as a result.

"Of course!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Yuan relaxed.

He was afraid that Nuwa would not agree—if a sage insisted on not agreeing, then no matter how many methods he had, he would be powerless to reverse the situation.

But now it seems that Wang Shu still has a lot of influence.

As for the so-called price, Shi Yuan didn't care at all.

"What price do you require, Your Highness?"

Shi Yuan, with his deep pockets, declared – “Say whatever you want, anything is fine!”

It's not that he was ignorant of his own limitations.

With his hands in his pockets, he simply couldn't find a worthy opponent.

What are all those treasures he has?

The Emperor's Dew, the Sun's Golden Flame, the Heavenly Breath Soil.

If all else fails, he can even reluctantly give up a wisp of primordial Qi.

These things are nothing compared to what Great Luo Golden Immortals or Quasi-Saints are.

Even a saint would be tempted!

He's genuinely not afraid of not having enough cards to play if it's about making an exchange.

However, Shi Yuan did not expect this.

After pondering for a moment, Nuwa made a request that he had not expected.

"I can give you the original tree seed of the Fusang Divine Tree."

"But as a price... the karmic ties between your Jie Sect and Lu Ya will be wiped clean—would you accept that?"

She said softly.

Upon hearing her words, Shi Yuan was taken aback.

Subsequently

"I'm sorry, Goddess Nuwa."

He spoke softly.

"Other matters can be discussed."

"But this is...absolutely impossible!"

His words, however, were as sharp as cutting gold and jade, resolute and decisive!

At the same time...

Mount Fuxu is home to the fox demon clan.

This is the lair of the fox demon clan that rose to power within Mount Fuxu after the fall of the mountain god.

Here, you can see foxes of all sizes and colors meditating and practicing in their dens.

"Ancestor!"

Just then, a cute little fox with fiery red fur darted into the area.

"Um?"

The old fox demon, who had been sunbathing on a blue stone, turned to look at the little fox.

"Liuli, what kind of behavior is this, making such a racket!"

"Ancestor! Quickly give me the crown of the Primordial Goddess!"

The little fox demon Liuli said loudly.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Upon hearing this, the old fox demon immediately puffed out his beard and glared.

"How could I possibly give you such a treasured possession—it is our clan's only hope for future revival!"

"But Ancestor, didn't you say I'm the most talented fox demon in our clan, and that I'm very likely to inherit the crown in the future?"

The little fox, Liuli, argued forcefully: "The Lord of Yuanquan Mountain has already promised me that as long as my talent and cultivation match those of his two disciples, he will accept me as his apprentice!"

She seemed very anxious.

"Is this really true?"

The old fox demon was taken aback upon hearing this: "The mountain lord has taken on disciples? What are the backgrounds and cultivation levels of his two disciples?"

He was naturally aware of his descendant's worship of the Lord of Yuanquan Mountain.

But to their surprise, it seemed that the mountain lord genuinely intended to take on a disciple.

This is undoubtedly very important—after all, the old fox demon with an extraordinary background is very clear about the origins of that Lord of Yuanquan Mountain.

Disciple of the sage, disciple of the Jie Sect.

If the little fox could truly become a disciple of the Lord of Yuanquan Mountain...

"Huh?"

But the little fox Liuli was stunned when she heard this.

Subsequently,

He said somewhat awkwardly, "I...I don't know."

After receiving Shi Yuan's 'promise,' she hurriedly ran back to her clan to inquire about Tai Xi and Xuan Chi's cultivation levels and backgrounds.

"...Tell me everything that happened!"

So the old fox demon was naturally speechless at his own naturally clueless descendant, and gritted his teeth.

"oh."

Liuli naturally didn't hide anything and immediately told everyone about her and the other three little demons going to listen to the sermon and what happened afterward.

"The Mountain Lord was summoned to a place called Nuwa Palace by that Azure Phoenix Fairy. After saying goodbye to Fengtong and the others, I rushed back!"

She said.

But in front of her, the old fox demon stared wide-eyed.

"Are you sure the Mountain Lord was invited to the Nuwa Palace? Then the one who came to invite him was that Azure Phoenix Fairy!?"

He was so excited that he was trembling all over!

He naturally knew where Nuwa Palace came from—or rather, apart from little monsters like Liuli.

Any demon race with any power or influence would know about Nuwa Palace.

"Um!"

After seeing the little fox nod in confirmation, the old fox demon's eyes began to show signs of struggle.

He knew all too well how precious the two things his people had preserved were.

·············

Just as he said—that was their only hope for the revival of their lineage!

That was their only hope of escaping their current situation of living in anonymity and returning to Qingqiu.

Even now, after so many years.

He has been selecting suitable members of the tribe to entrust with the future rise of the tribe.

To be honest, although Liuli, the little fox demon, was quite talented, she was originally just one of the candidates in his selection process.

But today...

"A direct disciple of the Sage of the Jie Sect, possibly also related to the Goddess Nuwa... Let's go for it!"

He gritted his teeth and made up his mind!

Then he looked up at the little fox, Liuli.

"Girl, come with me!"

He leaped off the bluestone.

With the little fox Liuli in tow, they headed deeper into Fuxu Mountain.

...............

Soon, the two foxes, one old and one young, arrived at a secluded place.

This appears to be an underground palace.

The underground palace is surrounded by an ancient and exquisite array.

If someone knowledgeable were to come here, they would naturally be able to tell.

The formation here seems to have been built to suppress destiny and conceal heavenly secrets.

Meanwhile, the underground palace also contains various ancient and magnificent bronze artifacts.

If you look closely, you'll find it.

These ancient bronze artifacts are all from the Yin-Shang period.

Even on some of these bronze artifacts, there are faint remnants of the aura of the human dynasty.

At this moment, the old fox demon brought Liuli to this place.

He even bit his tongue directly.

"puff!"

He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of precious primordial blood essence.

They landed before that underground palace.

"Buzz!"

At this moment, the ancient underground palace slowly began to shine.

Ancient patterns flickered above the gate of the underground palace.

Those are ancient demonic runes.

[Qingqiu Fox Clan - You Su Clan]

The next moment, the gates of the underground palace suddenly opened wide.

Thus, the two items placed there finally reappeared in the world after hundreds of years.

Those are two crowns.

The crown on the left is decorated with a colorful phoenix, its wings fluttering, making it extremely beautiful.

This is a phoenix crown.

The crown on the right is black with gold accents, engraved with a black bird, and inlaid with gold and jade.

This is the imperial crown!

The old fox, however, bowed respectfully and entered the underground palace.

Looking at the two crowns, he said softly.

"Liuli".

"I entrust the future of the Su family to you!"
