Chapter 4, Nuwa Creates Humanity

However, Xu Siyuan did not hear this voice as it was too faint

I have given you an extremely low starting point, yet I have also provided you with infinite possibilities for the future

This is the second sage of the Primordial Era

The human race possesses the form of Pangu, and Nuwa created humans at the summit of Mount Buzhou in order to absorb the residual aura and pressure of Pangu during the creation process. Therefore, these humans, despite their low cultivation, are still able to move about at the summit of Mount Buzhou

Xu Siyuan and the other two are above the white clouds, able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun and moon

I have seen the Mother Goddess Nüwa!

He is about to witness history

At this point, the soil in the pit had been exhausted, and Nuwa also ceased her creation of humanity

The witch clan possesses a strong physique but lacks an intelligent mind, only knowing how to kill and fight fiercely. Therefore, your physical strength will not be great, but I will bestow upon you rich emotions and grant you boundless wisdom

The demon race has a long lifespan, yet they have lost their reverence for life. I will not grant you immortality; only death can make you understand the preciousness of life

Hindering someone's path is even more excessive than killing one's parents

There is nothing in the world that is predetermined and unchanging; if there is, it can only be an eternity stained with blood

Having witnessed Nuwa creating humanity with his own eyes, Xu Siyuan finally understood why the human race could become the protagonists of heaven and earth; it is not something that can be explained merely by the light phrase of destiny favoring humanity.

A general direction has already been established, but...

Suddenly, a great merit descended, a colossal pillar of merit reaching from heaven to earth, visible throughout the entire primordial world

Fuxi also intended to bow down and pay respects to Nüwa, but Nüwa stopped Fuxi and said: "It has always been the case that younger sisters bow to their older brothers; how can an older brother bow to his younger sister? I am a sage, yet I am still primarily Nüwa!"

Nüwa looked at her elder brother seriously and said, "How about you create humans, brother?"

Nüwa waved her hand at the summit of Mount Buzhou to create a large pit, then placed the clay of life into the pit and poured in the water of the Three Luminaries

Xu Siyuan is well aware of the frailty of his soul, which is prone to inner demons. Having merit to protect him can help to purify his heart and ward off these demons, so it is better to reserve this merit for now

In the end, although Nuwa still stood before Xu Siyuan, he could not discern her features clearly

Nüwa stands before us, yet seems to be everywhere at once

Xu Siyuan, who was watching from the side, felt inexplicably excited; he knew that Nuwa was about to begin creating humans

A vast amount of merit was absorbed by Nuwa, causing her aura to surge exponentially

Nüwa no longer spoke much, and Fuxi, who was well-versed in the innate divination, could better understand his own fate, yet Fuxi had already made his choice

Xu Siyuan's cultivation was insufficient, yet he suffered a backlash. Fortunately, Nüwa and Xu Siyuan had some degree of friendship; otherwise, Xu Siyuan would have at least lost his eyesight.

Awaken, my child

At this moment, Nuwa handed the gourd vine to Xu Siyuan, saying, "The creation of humanity is complete. This gourd vine is of no further use to me. Since I cannot take you as my disciple, I shall return this gourd vine to you."

You possess the seven emotions and six desires, you experience love and hate, you can weep in the darkness, and you can also stand firm in the storm. I give you a blank canvas, allowing you to paint it in black and white.

Thank you, Your Highness, for bestowing a name

Do not underestimate this one in ten thousand; the merit of creating life is immense, and this one in ten thousand is not insignificant either

Heaven's way is supreme; how can mortals dare to observe it

Two bolts of heavenly thunder descended from the sky, and Nuwa created humanity, responding to the will of Heaven

Nüwa mixed the Three Light Divine Water with the Xirang and then took two lumps of clay, placing them in her two hands

Fuxi will no longer pay homage

This is a great virtue of creating humanity

These individuals surrounded Nuwa, respectfully calling out to the Mother Goddess to express their reverence and joy in their hearts

Fuxi fell silent for a moment and said slowly, "Where my path leads, I shall not regret a hundred deaths!"

Congratulations to the Mother Goddess for achieving sainthood! All of humanity kneels and pays homage to Nuwa.

Nuwa sighed: "Brother, you are still so stubborn. It is just that the will of heaven is hard to fathom, and the great way is difficult to measure. You wish to calculate the secrets of heaven, yet you do not realize that, unbeknownst to you, you have already offended the heavenly principles!"

The primordial chaos was opened by Pangu, yet the bloodline of Pangu's witch clan could not escape the fate of demise. Why is it that only the human race thrives and endures?

Soon, hundreds of thousands of humans stood atop Mount Buzhou

However, Fuxi shook his head dismissively and said, "My path is not here"

Your five internal organs correspond to the five elements, your acupoints correspond to the celestial stars, you may seek immortals, inquire about the Dao, pursue freedom in the mundane world, or seek the bliss of eternal life

The saint's imposing presence swept across the primordial world, and all beings of the primordial realm exclaimed: "Congratulations to Lady Nüwa for attaining sainthood"

The legacies penned by countless sages and the remains of numerous heroes have paved the grand path of the protagonist of the heavens and the earth

The two individuals knelt down to express their gratitude to Nuwa, who calmly accepted their gesture of respect and then said: "You shall be called Pan Yi and Pan Er!"

Nüwa molded another ten or so clay figures, and then she picked up the gourd vine

The beings of the world take on various forms, yet the primordial chaos was opened up by Pangu, and your appearances should also resemble that of Pangu

Moreover, the human race starts from a low point, yet possesses immense potential, along with exceptional intelligence, rich emotions, and an indomitable spirit

The human race has been born

Whether it is weakness or courage, loyalty or betrayal, whether it is the deep affection for children or the broader concerns for family and country, all are the most magnificent melodies composed by your emotions

The dragon can dive into the abyss, and the phoenix can soar in the nine heavens. With such innate talents and divine abilities, yet still not content, they ultimately brought about great calamity. Therefore, I will not bestow upon you powerful divine abilities

The sage is indeed unfathomable

Nüwa's hands moved swiftly, and at that moment, the two clay figures began to resemble two living beings more and more; one of the figures was male, and the other was female

The clay in Nuwa's hands transformed, and it was already vaguely taking on the shape of a human.

Xu Siyuan did not dare to accept the grand gift from Pan Yi and Pan Er, as they could be considered the ancestors of Xu Siyuan for countless generations.

Two divine thunders struck the bodies of these two newborns, and their previously confused eyes instantly regained clarity, while their cultivation level also ascended to the peak of the Golden Immortal stage

At the summit of Mount Buzhou

The two clay figures opened their eyes, and upon falling to the ground, transformed into human beings over one meter tall. From that moment on, they were no longer clay figures; they had flesh and blood, and they possessed life

There are both men and women, both tall and short, both fat and thin

Boom

Now let me complete the final step—carving your souls

The two individuals expressed their gratitude to Xu Siyuan and Fuxi, who accepted it with a smile. Fuxi softly sighed, saying, "From the human race, I see my destiny!"

The sage is the embodiment of the heavenly principle, and observing him is akin to observing the Dao

Fuxi's accumulation is no less than that of Nüwa; had he possessed the merit of creating humanity, Fuxi would likely have attained sainthood

Before Xu Siyuan could refuse, Nuwa had already placed the gourd vine into his hand

Both good and evil are part of your lives, but I still wish for you, my children, that even after experiencing a myriad of trials, you can still find your smiles again

After all, it was Xu Siyuan who took down the gourd vine and handed it to Nuwa

However, Xu Siyuan did not intend to absorb this portion of merit, as this merit was bestowed upon Xu Siyuan by heaven, and thus no one could take it away, nor would it be of any use to anyone else.

Overlooking the lives of the people below the mountain, Fuxi gently asked, "Sister, have you thought about what kind of race you want to create?"

Xu Siyuan tried hard to see more clearly, but unexpectedly, a sharp pain struck his eyes, causing tears to flow involuntarily.

I would never regret it, even if it meant a hundred deaths

Xu Siyuan only intended to observe and had no plans to step forward to help acquire merits. After all, who knows how much merit it takes for Nüwa to attain sainthood? If he were to take a portion of the merit and Nüwa were unable to become a saint because of it, the enmity would be significant.

Xu Siyuan understood that Nüwa had already become eternal, she had attained sainthood

The majority of the merit for creating humanity belongs to Nuwa, a portion belongs to the gourd vine, and approximately one ten-thousandth of the merit belongs to Xu Siyuan

Mud clung to the gourd vine, and Nüwa waved the vine, causing the mud that fell to the ground to transform into individual members of the human race

It is not entirely incorrect to say that the human race is a descendant of Pangu
