Chapter Fifteen: The Birth of Humanity, Heaven Bestows Merit
Nuwa received guidance from Fuxi and sculpted a clay figure in her own image. However, when she tried to imbue the clay figure with spiritual energy, it couldn't withstand the pressure and burst open.
Looking at the bursting clay figure, Nuwa was at a loss. Why couldn't it work?
Seeing this, Fuxi frowned, then thought for a moment and said, "Sister, a race born with innate Dao bodies is destined for long-lasting fortune and profound blessings. How could they be created by mere mortal soil and water? It must require innate materials."
"Innate materials?" Upon hearing Fuxi's words, Nuwa seemed to ponder. After a moment, she took out a bottle of Three Lights Divine Water and a lump of Nine Heavens Breath Soil, saying, "These are the Three Lights Divine Water and Nine Heavens Breath Soil that I obtained from Zixiao Palace. Should this be sufficient?"
"That's for sure," Fuxi affirmed. "The Three Lights Divine Water is the number one divine water in the primordial world, and the Nine Heavens Breath Soil is the number one divine soil in the primordial world. With the addition of my sister's laws of creation, we will definitely succeed."
"That's good." Nuwa mixed the Nine Heavens Breath Soil and the Three Lights Divine Water together, and then slowly sculpted a man and a woman in the likeness of herself and Fuxi. Looking at the two lifelike clay figures in front of her, Nuwa was very satisfied. Then she activated the laws of creation and asked the two clay figures to transfer spiritual power to them. Soon, the two clay figures slowly grew larger, and their clay bodies began to turn into flesh and blood.
After a short while, the two clay figures slowly opened their eyes, their gazes innocent and pure as they carefully observed the unfamiliar world. Upon seeing Nuwa, they knelt before her and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Holy Mother!"
"Get up quickly." Nuwa looked at the two living beings in front of her and was overjoyed. She felt that she was very close to attaining enlightenment. However, the two clay figures could not be said to be of the same race, so she still needed to continue to work hard.
Thinking of this, Nuwa asked Fuxi to take care of the two newborns while she continued to work hard, creating more clay figures. However, the Three Lights Divine Water and the Nine Heavens Breath Soil were innate substances, and Nuwa's mental energy was greatly depleted by making clay figures by hand. After making only a few dozen, Nuwa was already exhausted. But in order to prove her Dao, Nuwa had no choice but to continue.
Just as Nuwa was about to be exhausted, a large cauldron flew down from the sky. It was the Qiankun Cauldron, a supreme innate treasure. Nuwa was overjoyed to see the Qiankun Cauldron flying towards her. She solemnly accepted the Qiankun Cauldron with both hands, then bowed towards the heavens and said, "Thank you for your help, teacher."
Indeed, the Qiankun Cauldron was sent by Hongjun. Hongjun had been watching Nuwa's every move on the shores of the East Sea. After all, she was the first of the Six Sages of Heaven to return to her rightful place, and no accidents could be allowed to happen. That's why Hongjun had been monitoring her the whole time. When he saw that Nuwa was slowly finding her way, Hongjun was very happy. However, when he saw that Nuwa was almost exhausted after making only a few dozen clay figures, Hongjun couldn't sit still. He knew that the opportunity to become a sage was rare and precious. If Nuwa couldn't continue today because of exhaustion, who knew when the next opportunity would come? So, without saying a word, Hongjun sent the innate treasure, the Qiankun Cauldron, to Nuwa to help her.
Nuwa threw the remaining Nine Heavens Breath Soil and Three Lights Divine Water into the Qiankun Cauldron. Then she took out the gourd vine she had obtained when she divided the Seven Treasures Gourd with a group of powerful beings from the prehistoric era. She used the gourd vine to stir the Nine Heavens Breath Soil and Three Lights Divine Water in the Qiankun Cauldron into mud. Then she casually pulled it out, and countless muds flew out, falling to the ground and turning into mud figures. She repeated this process until the mud was used up.
At this point, the number of clay figures on the ground, including the initial man and woman, had reached three thousand. Nuwa then fully activated the laws of creation, giving these clay figures life. Before long, all the clay figures slowly grew larger, and their clay bodies began to transform into flesh and blood, becoming real living beings.
"Greetings, Holy Mother!" A group of newborn beings knelt down in unison before Nuwa.
Nuwa looked at the creatures she had created with her own hands and was very satisfied.
At this moment, Fuxi reminded Nuwa, "Sister, this group of creatures doesn't have a name yet. As the Holy Mother, you should give them a name."
Upon hearing this, Nuwa thought for a moment and said, "Immortals, gods, and sages all have the character 'human' in their names, so you are the human race."
As soon as she finished speaking, Nuwa felt the primordial purple energy within her primordial spirit pulsating wildly. Nuwa understood that her time to become a saint had arrived. So she flew into the air and swore an oath to the Heavenly Dao: "Heavenly Dao above, I am Nuwa, the Demon Queen of the Demon Clan, a disciple of the Xuanmen Hongjun Dao Ancestor. I now create a race called the Human Race. I hope the Heavenly Dao will bear witness that I am the Holy Mother of the Human Race. I will use the supreme innate spiritual treasure, the Mountain and River Map, to suppress the destiny of the Human Race. The Human Race is established!"
Nuwa's voice was like rolling thunder, and with the blessing of the Heavenly Dao, it spread throughout the primordial world. Whether it was the great supernatural beings who were in seclusion in famous mountains and rivers, or the demon race of the Thirty-Three Heavens, or the witch race of the Pangu Palace on Mount Buzhou, they all heard Nuwa's voice.
Kunlun Mountain
Upon hearing Nuwa's voice, Taishang and Yuanshi immediately left the Erqing Hall (since Tongtian left Kunlun Mountain, Yuanshi had taken the initiative to rename the original Sanqing Hall to Erqing Hall), and looked towards the East Sea.
"Big brother, is Junior Sister Nuwa about to become a saint?" Yuanshi asked Taishang with a trembling voice. He couldn't believe it at all. As a descendant of Pangu and the most blessed cultivator in the prehistoric world, he hadn't even become a saint yet, so how could Nuwa, a mere woman, be about to become a saint?
Taishang said, "I don't know either, but since Junior Sister Nuwa's voice can be heard throughout the entire prehistoric world, there must be the Heavenly Dao helping her behind the scenes. This shows that Junior Sister Nuwa is really about to become a saint."
Nuwa was able to make her voice resound throughout the entire prehistoric world with her quasi-saint cultivation level. Needless to say, it must have been the Heavenly Dao that was pushing her forward. With the Heavenly Dao's endorsement, Nuwa's ascension to sainthood should have been a sure thing.
At the same time, Tongtian on Jin'ao Island in the East Sea, Jieyin and Zhunti on Mount Sumeru, Minghe in the Blood Sea, Hongyun in Huoyun Cave, Zhenyuanzi in Wuzhuang Temple, Kunpeng in the North Sea, Dijun and Taiyi in the Thirty-Three Heavens, and other great supernatural beings all looked towards the East Sea. They wanted to know if Nuwa was really going to become a saint.
Buzhou Mountain and Pangu Palace
Xuan Chu, who was resting with his eyes closed, was also awakened by Nuwa's voice. After opening his eyes, he frowned and murmured, "Humans have been born? That shouldn't be the case, it's a bit early." Xuan Chu, who came from the future, knew very well that humans were not born so quickly, but they were born anyway, which puzzled Xuan Chu.
Turning our gaze back to the shores of the East Sea, as Nuwa's voice resounded throughout the primordial world, the Heavenly Dao Wheel appeared in the heavens. Then, an immeasurable Heavenly Dao merit descended, dividing into four parts: 65% directly enveloped Nuwa, half fell upon Fuxi, half merged into the innate treasure Qiankun Cauldron, and half merged into the gourd vine. With the blessing of the merit, the gourd vine instantly transformed into a merit-based spiritual treasure. The remaining 20% was divided equally among the three thousand innate humans. The three thousand innate humans who received the merit instantly transformed from ordinary mortals into mystical immortals.
After absorbing all the merit, the Qiankun Cauldron flew away.
