Nuwa looked at the four people before her, and a feeling of being connected by blood surged forth!
As soon as the four appeared, they knelt on the ground and called out:
"Greetings, Holy Mother!"
Nuwa looked at the four with immense joy, then spoke:
"Have you not yet paid your respects to the fellow Daoists!"
Upon hearing this, the four came before the Three Pure Ones again, knelt on the ground, and said:
"Greetings, three Holy Fathers!"
Taishang, with a smile, helped the four up. With a wave of his whisk, a skirt woven from leaves was placed around the waists of the four, covering their exposed private parts!
Yuanshi and Tongtian stared, dumbfounded, at the four people who had suddenly appeared. They felt no spiritual energy fluctuations from them, yet they could speak!
Nuwa seemed to recall something, thinking that since all races could procreate on their own, the race she had created should also be able to continue. Otherwise, she couldn't possibly create generation after generation!
With this thought, Nuwa took a bit more mud from the Qiankun Cauldron and molded four more mud figures. With another flash of multicolored light, those four mud figures transformed into four naked women in their early twenties.
As the four emerged, they knelt and said:
"Greetings, Holy Mother!"
Nuwa nodded. The four then came before the Three Pure Ones and said:
"Greetings, three Holy Fathers!"
Taishang helped the four up and produced another set of leaf-woven skirts to cover the chests and lower bodies of the four!
Seeing that Nuwa was about to mold more mud figures, Taishang spoke:
"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, how many can you mold like this?"
Nuwa heard this and thought it made sense. She then put all the remaining San Guang Shen Shui into the Qiankun Cauldron, and the mud in the cauldron turned into sludge.
Nuwa took out the Innate Gourd Vine, dipped it into the Qiankun Cauldron to coat it with a lot of mud, then circulated the Great Dao of Creation and flicked it. As the mud fell to the ground, it transformed into people of all shapes and sizes.
Nuwa continued until all the mud in the Qiankun Cauldron had turned into people, then she stopped. Looking at the crowd on the ground who were all looking at her, she showed a relieved smile!
Taishang, seeing that Nuwa had finished her work, spoke:
"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, this is a brand new species. May you give this race a name!"
Nuwa heard this and said:
"I see they have a connection with Fellow Daoist Taishang. May Fellow Daoist Taishang give them a name!"
Taishang heard this and said:
"They can speak from birth, why not call them 'Human Race'!"
Nuwa heard this and nodded:
"From now on, you shall be called the Human Race!"
As soon as Nuwa's voice fell, meritorious clouds gathered from the sky, and the voice of the Heavenly Dao resounded throughout the heavens and earth:
"Nuwa created humans, completing the Primordial World, a great merit. Now, Heavenly Dao merit is bestowed as a commendation!"
After the Heavenly Dao spoke, a vast amount of Heavenly Dao merit descended from the sky!
The great powers of the Primordial World, looking at the massive amount of merit descending towards Buzhou Mountain, were utterly shocked, wondering what that "human" created by Nuwa was that could possess so much merit!
After the merit descended, one-tenth was divided equally into two parts and flowed towards the Qiankun Cauldron and the Innate Gourd Vine, respectively!
Two-tenths flowed towards the Three Pure Ones. Taishang's words had enlightened Nuwa, so he alone received one-tenth, while Yuanshi and Tongtian shared the other one-tenth equally.
The remaining seven-tenths flowed entirely towards Nuwa.
The Qiankun Cauldron showed no change after absorbing the Heavenly Dao merit, except for some golden patterns appearing on its surface.
As for the Innate Gourd Vine, after absorbing the Heavenly Dao merit, it slowly transformed into the shape of a whip!
Taishang looked at the Heavenly Dao merit flying towards him and found a familiar aura within it. Taishang sensed carefully and discovered that the Heavenly Dao merit contained the aura of the Great Dao, mixed with Great Dao merit!
Taishang separated the Heavenly Dao merit from the Great Dao merit. After sealing the Heavenly Dao merit and absorbing the Great Dao merit, Taishang found that his Nine Revolutions Profound Art began to circulate on its own. Taishang quickly sat cross-legged to refine the Great Dao merit!
He had not encountered Great Dao merit since his transformation. He never expected that after Nuwa created humans, there would be Great Dao merit mixed in!
Yuanshi and Tongtian followed Taishang's example, picked out the Great Dao merit from the merit and absorbed it, and then they also discovered its wondrous benefits. The two quickly sat down to refine the Great Dao merit!
After Nuwa absorbed the merit, she discovered that the Hong Meng Purple Qi she had obtained in Zixiao Palace was mixed with the merit and was slowly being refined by her.
Nuwa found that her cultivation realm was slowly breaking through, and Taishang also noticed Nuwa emitting a trace of saintly aura. He knew that after Nuwa absorbed the merit, she would likely achieve sainthood!
Nuwa was overjoyed and quickly refined and absorbed the merit!
Just as Nuwa emitted the aura of a saint, Hongjun, who was far away in the Chaos, also felt his aura strengthen. Hongjun spoke:
"You, my backup plan has begun to take effect. You should not resist anymore!"
After Hongjun spoke, a voice devoid of emotion echoed:
"I never thought you would have such audacity. It's a pity I didn't heed Taishang's words, otherwise, would you be where you are today?"
Without further ado, Hongjun fully activated the green disc above his head.
As Nuwa refined the merit, she felt a part of her divine soul flying towards the Chaos!
After a while, Nuwa felt as if her power was endless!
At the same time, Nuwa suddenly exuded a terrifying pressure, and her voice echoed throughout the Primordial World:
"I am Nuwa, and I have achieved sainthood today! I will open the Wa Huang Palace in the Chaos to lecture, and those who are fated may come to listen! The Human Race is my creation, and no other race shall harm them!"
The great powers of the Primordial World were all shocked by this news!
"Nuwa has achieved sainthood!"
A powerful and irresistible pressure swept from Nuwa towards all directions of the Primordial World. Everyone in the Primordial World involuntarily knelt and said:
"Greetings, Saint Nuwa!"
After Nuwa achieved sainthood, the Demon Court was naturally overjoyed. Although Nuwa had not explicitly joined the Demon Court, since Fuxi held an official position in the Demon Court, Nuwa was naturally considered part of the Demon Court.
Now that the Demon Court had a saint, this was undoubtedly good news for the Demon Court!
Especially Fuxi, who almost jumped for joy the moment he heard Nuwa had become a saint! He hadn't expected Nuwa to achieve sainthood!
Where there is joy, there is sorrow. The Twelve Ancestral Shamans, upon hearing the news of Nuwa's sainthood, turned ashen. With a saint in the Demon Court, the Twelve Ancestral Shamans did not believe that the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation could contend against a saint!
Gonggong said to Dijiang with a grim expression:
"Brother, what shall we do?"
Dijiang also did not know what to do. However, as the leader of the Witch Clan, Dijiang spoke:
"We are not sure of her relationship with the Demon Court. Tell all tribes to refrain from conflict with the Demon Court for now!"
Zhujiu Yin saw this and said:
"Brother, are you waiting to see what happens?"
Dijiang nodded and said:
"This is the only way! If she is an ally of the Demon Court, they will surely attack us. Prepare yourselves! If Di Jun and the others do not attack us, it means she has little connection with the Demon Court, and her presence in the Demon Court is only because of Fuxi!"
The other eleven Ancestral Shamans nodded upon hearing this, believing Dijiang's words to be sound!
