Chapter 89
Nuwa Becomes a Saint
At this moment, 129,600 newborn humans knelt down in unison, uttering their first cry upon entering the world—not the roar of beasts, but a clear, gentle voice full of wisdom and emotion.
"Mother……"
They all looked at Nuwa with pure admiration and reverence in their eyes. Then they looked at Xuanbao and the Three Pure Ones, instinctively feeling the closeness connected by blood.
"Father--!"
Sanqing: ...
Xuanbao: ...
This relationship seems a bit complicated!
Meanwhile, the Three Pure Ones were dumbfounded when they heard the humans call them father. They had inexplicably suddenly gained 129600 children...
However, Nuwa's body trembled slightly at this moment, not from exhaustion, but from an unprecedented sense of emotion and fulfillment. She could clearly feel an invisible yet unwavering bond between herself and these newly born humans. They were not merely beings she had created, but also a part of her Great Dao, the ultimate manifestation of her Way of Creation.
At that very moment, the winds and clouds above the heavens changed once more!
A golden pillar of light, even more vast and dazzling than all other beings created before, crashed down. The golden light of merit was pure and rich, almost condensed into liquid! Sixty percent of it was poured into Nuwa's body, twoty percent was sprinkled on the newborn human race, and the last twoty percent was divided into four, flying towards Xuanbao and the Three Pure Ones.
Nuwa's body radiated holy light, and the primordial purple energy emitted a joyful hum, attempting to completely merge with Nuwa's primordial spirit. However, how could Nuwa possibly merge with that primordial purple energy that she knew was problematic? Nuwa circulated her magic power, forcing the primordial purple energy out of her body.
The golden light of merit continuously flowed into her body, and her cultivation level rose at a visible speed. However, Nuwa did not hesitate and continued to act according to Xuanbao's plan.
"Humanity is supreme, and the Great Dao bears witness. I, Nuwa, today create the human race, the living beings born after this world, to complete the order of all living beings in the primordial world, in accordance with the perfection of human nature. May human nature flourish greatly."
Almost at the same moment, Hongjun, who was still on the battlefield, also knew that Nuwa had created the human race and was about to become a saint. However, for the first time, anger and undisguised rage appeared on Hongjun's face. His gaze pierced through endless time and space and landed at the foot of Buzhou Mountain, which was completely shrouded in the incredible golden light of merit.
"She actually used the merit of creating humankind to directly communicate with the human realm... rather than the heavenly realm!" Hongjun gritted his teeth. "What a Nuwa! And what about the Three Pure Ones!"
Hongjun could still clearly sense that the human path had been awakened. Although it was not yet comparable to the current Heavenly Dao, the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity in the primordial world were of equal level.
Hongjun knew that once humanity rose to power, it would inevitably diminish the authority of the Heavenly Dao, which would be a huge obstacle to his plan to control the prehistoric world.
What made his heart sink even more was that Nuwa actually forced out that crucial Primordial Purple Qi!
"He didn't merge with the Primordial Purple Qi... he didn't follow the path of a Heavenly Saint..." Hongjun's eyes flashed rapidly as he deduced the secrets of heaven, only to find that the future of Nuwa and the human race was shrouded in mystery. The once clear trajectory of the Heavenly Dao had diverged dramatically and become shrouded in mist. "How could this be?"
The fact that she can't figure out the things now indicates that things are not simple. "I'm afraid that Nuwa must have had a master behind her who guided her, and like the Three Pure Ones, she broke free from her control."
Meanwhile, at the foot of Buzhou Mountain, due to the emergence of humanity, Nuwa was naturally rewarded, and the merits of a large number of people gathered and merged into Nuwa's body.
"My path is complete," Nuwa said softly. Her voice was not loud, but it clearly reached the ears of every living being present and spread throughout the primordial world.
Immediately afterwards, a pressure surpassing the peak of Quasi-Saint and transcending all laws slowly spread out from Nuwa's center. This pressure was not the aloof, cold, and majestic pressure of a pure Heavenly Dao Saint, but rather carried the vitality of creation, maternal compassion, and a newborn, resilient will belonging to "humanity"!
Throughout the primordial world, regardless of their cultivation level or location, a gentle yet firm voice resonated in their hearts, sensing the birth and rise of a new "Dao" that was intimately connected to them.
Nuwa has become a saint!
Based on the creation of humanity and the awakening of human nature, without relying on the primordial purple energy, she became the ancestor of the Dao, with a revered holy position, and can be called the Mother of all spirits - the Holy Mother of Humanity!
Moreover, because Nuwa not only obtained the merits of the Heavenly Dao, but also a large amount of merits of the Human Dao, she took this opportunity to successfully unite her three corpses into one, and also achieved the Great Luo Golden Immortal of Hunyuan through the Dao of Creation. Now she has become a saint of the Human Dao, and her strength has reached the fifth level of sainthood.
The divine might swept across the entire primordial world, even the demon race and the myriad races currently at war were all evenly matched. All living beings in the primordial world, no matter where they were, felt it in their hearts and involuntarily prostrated themselves in worship towards Mount Buzhou. The sound, like a mountain roaring and a tsunami crashing, echoed between heaven and earth.
"Congratulations to the Holy Mother of Humanity, Nuwa!"
The three Pure Ones exchanged a glance, each seeing the relief and solemnity in the other's eyes. Lao Tzu stroked his beard and pondered, "With the establishment of the Way of Man, the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man are finally complete. But this action..." He looked up at the heavens, where it seemed as if a pair of eyes were coldly looking down upon him.
The Primordial Celestial Venerable's expression was solemn: "The Heavenly Dao has its flaws, so the Human Dao fills the gaps. Sister Nuwa's actions are in accordance with the Great Dao; even if Hongjun is displeased, he dares not be too presumptuous!"
The Tongtian Sect Leader laughed and said, "Those 129,600 calls of 'Father' made my heart race, but with the emergence of this human way, the格局 (geju, a concept encompassing the overall structure and overall situation) of the primordial world is likely to change."
Moreover, Hongjun, who had already returned to Zixiao Palace, had an eerily calm expression. The fragments of the Creation Jade Disc in front of him were trembling violently, indicating that the secrets of heaven were undergoing an irreversible change.
"Humanity..." Hongjun murmured to himself, "Awakening humanity through the merit of creating humankind, thus avoiding the path of the Heavenly Saints. Nuwa, how much do you truly know?"
"The three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man... in balance..." Hongjun opened his eyes, the Heavenly Dao rotating within them. "Could this be the true plan of the Great God Pangu?"
As the representative of the Heavenly Dao, Hongjun knew better than anyone that the complete primordial world should have the three Daos of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity coexisting. However, he chose to first control the Heavenly Dao, then use it to govern the Earthly Dao and the Humanity Dao, ultimately gaining complete control over the primordial world. Now, the Humanity Dao has awakened ahead of schedule, disrupting his plans.
Moreover, the Three Pure Ones had also broken free from his control, and a cold glint flashed in Hongjun's eyes.
"Very well." Hongjun slowly rose, his aura completely merging with the Heavenly Dao. "Now that the Human Dao is established, I will let you take the lead. Once I have achieved the Dao and the Heavenly Dao is complete, we will then determine who is superior."
However, the most excited at this moment were none other than the quasi-saints in the prehistoric world. Just as there are sages in the Heavenly Dao, there must also be sages in the Human Dao. Having already reached the level of quasi-saints, they naturally wanted to take a gamble. After all, there are already several sages in the prehistoric world. As the saying goes, "Take a gamble and you might turn a bicycle into a motorcycle." Perhaps they themselves could become sages in the Human Dao.
