Chapter 299 The Descent of the Star of Literature? Cangjie, the Ancestor of Literature?
Halfway through the family dinner, the cow mother suddenly remembered something, and her gaze shifted, looking directly at the cow:
"Ben'er".
"Your current status is esteemed, and your cultivation is extraordinary; you are now one of the most important figures in the Three Realms."
"But establishing a family and career is fundamental."
"These two fairies, Xihe and Changxi, have waited for you in our Hundred Thousand Mountains for so many years. How could you not know their feelings?"
"It's time to give her a proper status."
Upon hearing the earnest words of the Cow Mother, Niu Ben was slightly taken aback, and Xi He and Chang Xi at the table also became somewhat at a loss.
After a slight pause, Niu Ben nodded slightly before speaking:
"Mother."
"I understand what you mean."
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Xihe and Changxi, and asked probingly:
"I wonder... what do you two fairies think?"
Upon hearing Niu Ben's question, both Xi He and Chang Xi blushed deeply.
"I...I'll listen to my sister."
Chang Xi lowered her head and responded in a sweet, coquettish voice.
Xihe was somewhat at a loss, her face flushed with embarrassment as she looked at Niu Ben and stammered:
"I...I will follow your arrangements, Fellow Daoist Niu Ben."
After speaking, Xihe lowered her head, her face turning red all the way to her ears.
Seeing this, Niu Xiaomei couldn't help but laugh, and said in a carefree manner:
"My two sisters-in-law."
"Why are you all so embarrassed?"
"If both parties are interested, wouldn't it be better to be together?"
"And Sister Xihe, why are you still calling me Brother Daoist? Wouldn't it be more intimate to just call me Cowherd from now on?"
After Niu Xiaomei said that, Xihe and Changxi became even more shy.
She didn't pay any attention to this, and quickly turned to look at Niu Ben, saying again:
"elder brother!"
"Will you soon have two wives?"
Niu Ben was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this.
He knew very well that he should indeed be given the same status as Xihe and Changxi.
After all, the fact that Di Jun brought Donghuang Taiyi to the Hundred Thousand Mountains to demand Xihe and Changxi was known to everyone in the prehistoric world.
Ultimately, it even attracted the attention of four sages who confronted each other in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
Everyone knows that Dijun originally preferred Xihe and Changxi.
However, Niu Ben interfered and stole the two fairies away, forcing him to marry the Tushan Blood Fox from Qingqiu.
If he doesn't give Xihe and Changxi a proper title, then it would seem rather unreasonable.
After a moment's thought, a resolute glint flashed in Niu Ben's eyes. He then looked at Xi He and Chang Xi and said:
"Two fairies."
"Once I've finished some things I need to do, I'll announce to the world that I'm marrying you sisters. What do you say?"
Hearing Niu Ben's direct question, Xi He and Chang Xi became even more shy. Although they did not speak, they nodded slightly, which was considered as tacit agreement.
The bull tyrant and his mother, who were standing nearby, were overjoyed to see this.
After that, Niu Ben stayed in the Ten Thousand Mountains, spending time with his parents, family, Xi He, and Chang Xi.
……
Time flies.
Before I knew it, many years had passed.
On this day, Niu Ben bid farewell to his parents, Niu Xiaomei, and the reluctant Xihe sisters, and set off for Penglai Immortal Island.
"Ben'er, next time you come back, I'll arrange your wedding!"
The cow mother looked at the cow oxen with a serious expression and said.
Niu Ben smiled awkwardly, nodded slightly, and with a flick of his wrist, he soared into the sky and disappeared.
As Niu Ben transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the distance, the crowd lingered, unable to look away for a long time.
Soon, Niu Ben flew out of the Ten Thousand Mountains region.
"Um?"
Just as it was passing over what appeared to be an ordinary human tribe, a sudden change occurred!
"boom!"
Suddenly, a mighty torrent of fortune descended from the heavens without warning, precisely entering the body of a newborn infant in the tribe below!
"Such strong humanitarian luck!"
Upon sensing this, Niu Ben paused, his face filled with surprise.
He naturally realized that the sudden arrival of this auspicious power was extraordinary.
It even faintly intertwines with the ancient aura of the beginning of chaos, the primordial chaos, the myriad things of heaven and earth, mountains and rivers, and even a faint trace of the primordial chaos!
Its brilliance was so great that it even briefly overshadowed the sun.
The entire human tribe below was enveloped in an indescribable auspicious glow.
"What happened?"
"Among the human race, who could be born to cause such a fluctuation in destiny?"
Niu Ben was secretly surprised and suspicious.
After a moment's thought, he suddenly vanished from the spot.
When he appeared, Niu Ben had already silently arrived at that human tribe.
His gaze pierced through the simple stone house and landed on a newborn baby.
This infant had clear eyes, with mysterious Dao patterns flowing between its brows. Although its aura was restrained, it was like a dragon lurking in the abyss, ready to unleash its power.
"Such a spectacle is born from the cultural and spiritual destiny of heaven and earth."
"And he's also of human origin."
"Could this child be... Cangjie?"
Suddenly, a person came to Niu Ben's mind.
Cangjie, the progenitor of Chinese civilization!
It is important to know that Cangjie was destined to create writing for the human race, laying the foundation for civilization that would last for eternity.
Only the birth of such a person could have caused such a strange phenomenon.
Just as Niu Ben was lost in thought, a system notification suddenly sounded in his mind:
【Ding! 】
[The host has been detected to have come into contact with a key figure in civilization—Cangjie.]
[A divine choice has been triggered!]
[Option 1: Guide and assist Cangjie in successfully creating a unique script for humankind, ushering in a new era of civilization.]
[Reward: One chance to win a mystery prize (prizes span countless realms, containing endless possibilities).]
[Option Two: Let nature take its course, allowing Cangjie to naturally perceive the Way of Heaven and understand the mechanism of character creation.]
[Reward: 100,000 Heavenly Merits.]
"Um?"
"It really is Cangjie!"
Upon hearing the system notification, Niu Ben was startled and began to make plans.
"A mystery lottery?"
"The prize is uncertain; if we're lucky, we might win some amazing treasure."
"The amount of Heavenly Merit is fixed at 100,000."
After a moment's thought, a resolute glint flashed in Niu Ben's eyes.
"system."
"I choose one."
In Niu Ben's view, this would lead to Cangjie's creation of characters, not only gaining a disciple with unlimited potential, but also promoting a great leap forward in human civilization, with its long-term value far exceeding 100,000 merits.
What's more, there's also a chance to win a prize full of unknown surprises!
After making his choice, Niu Ben did not rush to get up and leave the human tribe. Instead, he found a lush ancient tree on the edge of the tribe and sat down cross-legged.
Its aura blended seamlessly with the surrounding mountains and land, as if it had transformed into an ancient, ever-present rock, silently guarding and observing Cangjie's growth.
……
On the other side, in the Heavenly Realm of the Demon Race.
Powerful figures from all sides gathered to attend the grand banquet held by the demon race for the ten Golden Crow Princes.
After much toasting and conviviality, the grand banquet came to a close.
As the powerful figures from all sides departed one after another, the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race regained its former solemnity.
