Chapter 1126: A True Hopeless Situation (1)
In this mysterious realm where space stood remarkably solid, Wu Yuan wouldn't have been surprised by any encounter.
Yet the figure before him, holding a feather fan and adorned with silk headwear, involuntarily called to mind a hazy silhouette buried deep in his memories: an ancient figure who had lived out five thousand years of legend. The resemblance was striking, not just in attire, but even in facial features.
"Senior," Wu Yuan bowed respectfully, unable to fathom the newcomer's true nature - whether a spirit or some super powerhouse.
"My name is Bai Ze, though you may call me White Emperor if you wish." The white-robed man waved his feather fan, smiling in a manner that exuded grace and refinement.
Bai Ze? White Emperor? Wu Yuan's pupils constricted as his mind raced through legends he'd uncovered in the intelligence archives. [1]
At the wellspring of all time, at the genesis of all things, in that impossibly distant Primordial Era, mighty figures vied for supremacy as Dao Masters shook the cosmic sea... Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu had tamed the ancient Teng Snake, which stayed constantly at her side.
The Bai Ze was both divine beast and auspicious creature, akin to the Teng Snake race. Over the eons, many divine beasts carried the Bai Ze bloodline. However, among the Bai Ze race, only one held the right to be called White Emperor - the Bai Ze Progenitor. The Bai Ze Progenitor had always stood at Goddess Nüwa's side. [2]
"Senior, are you truly the one who stood beside Goddess Nüwa?" Wu Yuan couldn't help but ask breathlessly.
Ah, Goddess Nüwa – the first being in the endless cosmic sea to reach the Dao Zenithel stage through her own power, and the creator of the human race.
Her might and legendary feats subtly surpassed those of even the Heavenly Imperator and Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu.
Alas, Goddess Nüwa had ventured into the depths of the cosmic sea long ago, leaving no trace. Like the Origin Saint, she had gradually faded into legend...
"Goddess Nüwa? Indeed. As a human, you carry the bloodline she left behind," the white-robed man smiled. "Since its fate that we’ve met, I suppose there's no harm in telling you – this Ancient Dream Mountain was left behind by Goddess Nüwa herself, a commemorative creation of sorts."
