Chapter 635 Nuwa, what will you choose?
Inside the Nuwa Palace.
Nuwa looked up at the heavens.
The Supreme Lord agreed to intervene once.
The weight of this statement is extraordinary, even among sages.
The Supreme Being has always practiced non-action.
His ability to shed the imprint of the Humanist teachings was enough to shake the entire prehistoric world.
Yet he even promised to help the human race once on the day Huangtian becomes a saint.
This is not simply a matter of returning cause and effect.
It's not about approval, but rather about recognition.
The recognition of humanity's establishment of a new path is not arrogance.
The primordial purple energy in Huangtian's hands should not be merely a chain leading to the Heavenly Dao Sainthood.
Nuwa slowly spoke: "Senior Brother Taishang is more decisive than I thought."
Huang Tian did not respond.
He knew that at this moment, any unnecessary words might seem urgent.
Nuwa was not the Supreme Being.
The Supreme Being observes cause and effect, destiny, and the relationship between the human religion and the human race.
Nuwa's view of the human race was much deeper.
She is the creator of humankind.
She watched the first humans open their eyes from the soil, watched them bewildered, watched them kneel and worship heaven and earth on the primordial land, and watched them gradually leave her protection and walk towards their own destiny.
This cause and effect is not as simple as a sectarian imprint.
It is connected to the source.
It's also connected to feelings and affection.
Outside the hall, Lingzhuzi held his breath.
He was usually carefree and impulsive, but he didn't dare to move at this moment.
He could sense that the energy within the Nuwa Palace was changing.
It wasn't anger.
It's not a rejection.
Rather, it is a profound examination.
Nuwa said softly, "Heaven."
Heaven bows in submission.
"exist."
Nuwa asked, "You've come here to ask me to relinquish the role of the cause and effect of creating humans in the source of humanity's destiny?"
Huang Tian said in a deep voice, "Yes."
Nuwa then asked, "Do you know what this cause and effect is?"
The heavens look up.
"Know."
Nuwa looked at him.
"explain."
Heaven did not hesitate.
"The sage Nuwa molded humans from clay, thus enabling the birth of the human race."
"Without sages, there would be no first humankind."
"This is the origin, and humanity will never deny it."
Nuwa said, "If that's the case, why did you come at all?"
Huang Tiandao said, "Because the source is not the end."
Inside the Nuwa Palace, the divine light of creation trembled slightly.
Huang Tian's voice was steady, yet not humble.
"Humanity was created by a sage."
"But the human race's clothing, food, housing, and transportation were developed by the human race itself."
"The fire of the human race was lit by Suirenshi."
"The dwellings of the human race were built by the Youchao clan."
"The clothing and attire of the human race were established by the Ziyi clan."
"The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors established human relations, defined the land and rivers, established the system of rites, and established agriculture."
"Later, hundreds of millions of human beings lived and multiplied on the primordial land, and that's how the human race came to be today."
He paused for a moment after saying this.
He then solemnly said, "Humanity is grateful for the Holy Mother's blessings."
"But humanity cannot remain forever as clay figures in the palm of the Holy Mother."
Lingzhuzi, standing outside the hall, felt a jolt in his heart.
That's too harsh a statement.
If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't even have the courage to say it.
But Huang Tian spoke very calmly.
There was no resentment.
There was no disrespect involved.
It simply presented Nuwa with the facts that humanity must now face.
Nuwa lowered her eyes slightly.
She did not get angry.
It was as if I was remembering something from a long time ago.
In those days, the wilderness was vast and teeming with countless tribes.
She took soil from the earth and created humans; the first humans were so fragile that they were almost impossible to defeat.
They will fear thunder.
They would scatter because of wild beasts.
They will curl up into a ball because of the cold.
Later, they learned how to use fire.
They learned how to build nests.
I learned how to sew clothes.
Later, the human race no longer looked up to saints alone.
They began to look up at the stars, measure the mountains and rivers, and record history.
Nuwa looked up at the heavens.
In Huang Tian, she saw a humanity that was no longer ignorant.
She said softly, "Aren't you afraid I won't agree?"
Huang Tian said, "I'm afraid."
A hint of surprise flashed in Nuwa's eyes.
Huang Tian continued, "But I fear they will come anyway."
"If humanity doesn't even have the courage to face the root of cause and effect, what right do they have to establish humanity?"
Nuwa remained silent.
A moment later, she suddenly asked, "Did Fuxi send you?"
Huang Tian shook his head.
"The Emperor did not send me."
"But the Emperor is waiting for me in the ancestral land of humanity."
As soon as she finished speaking, Nuwa's expression finally changed subtly.
Fuxi.
Her brother.
He was also the Emperor of the Human Race.
These two overlapping identities, just as Taishang said, are something Nuwa cannot ignore.
From the perspective of a sage, Nuwa could sit high in the Nuwa Heaven, letting the human race seek, struggle, and suffer setbacks at will.
But Fuxi was among the human race.
Fuxi has already linked his own Dao fruition with the fortune of the human race.
If humanity were to establish a Dao, Fuxi would be a crucial link in that process.
Nuwa sighed softly.
"My brother has left me with a difficult problem."
Huang Tiandao said, "The Heavenly Emperor has never forced a sage."
Nuwa glanced at him.
"You're actually protecting him."
Huang Tiandao said, "He is the Heavenly Emperor of the Human Race."
Nuwa smiled gently.
The smile was faint, yet it eased the tense atmosphere in the hall.
"He is also my elder brother."
Huang Tian did not refute.
Nuwa raised her hand.
A divine light of creation appeared in her palm.
The divine light was warm and profound, with faint shadows of earth and images of the earliest humans kneeling and worshipping heaven and earth.
Huang Tian was slightly startled when he saw the scene.
That's not an illusion.
That is the manifestation of the cause and effect of the origin of humanity.
Nuwa said, "I created humans and became a saint."
"This cause and effect is indeed one of the foundations of my holy position."
"You come here today begging me to release you, not just to ask for the fulfillment of the human race's destiny."
"It also means that I must admit that the human race will no longer be under my control."
Huang Tian said in a deep voice, "The human race has never wanted to forget the Holy Mother."
"But humans must be themselves."
Nuwa looked at the divine light of creation in her palm.
"What if I don't allow it?"
The heavens fell silent for a moment.
He then said, "The human race will continue on its journey."
He once said this to the Supreme Lord.
But saying it to Nuwa at this moment carries a different meaning.
Nuwa understood.
She wasn't angry.
There was no blame.
She suddenly realized that the group of children who needed her protection back then had truly grown up.
As we grow up, we leave the source.
This is not betrayal.
That makes sense.
Nuwa said softly, "If the human race establishes a way of humanity, then when the people of the prehistoric world mention the human race in the future, they may no longer first say that Nuwa created humans."
The Emperor said, "The annals of humankind will forever remember the Holy Mother's miraculous creation."
"But how the beings of the primordial world are referred to is a matter for the beings of the primordial world."
"How humanity chooses to proceed is a matter for humanity itself."
Nuwa gazed at him for a long time.
Nuwa stood up.
The sage rose.
Ten thousand streams of creative energy descended simultaneously from the Nuwa Palace.
Huang Tian was startled, but still stood ramrod straight.
Nuwa said, "Heaven."
"What you are asking for today is not for me to provide a way for humankind."
"Are you trying to make me admit that humanity has forged its own path?"
The Emperor bowed solemnly.
"Please grant my request, sage."
Nuwa raised her hand and pointed.
The divine light of creation in his palm suddenly fell into the void.
The next moment, within the source of human destiny, the oldest and deepest cause and effect of creation slowly emerged.
It's not as clear as the imprint of the People's Education Press.
It's more like a layer of root soil.
Silent and still, yet it sustained the earliest existence of humanity.
