Divine Water and Xirang: Humans Were Molded by Goddess Nüwa?!

At that moment.

Qian Renxue's head was buzzing.

Wait, Teacher, what nonsense are you talking about?

Stew me?!

Qian Renxue blinked her big golden eyes and looked down at the great cauldron, which was bubbling and steaming, giving off a strange medicinal fragrance. Then she turned to look at Bai Yi, the old fox with an amiable smile.

The cauldron stood a full two zhang high. The broth churning inside was streaked with milky white and crimson gold, and there was no telling how hot it was.

But it could definitely boil her down into a puddle of Angel Mince.

Qian Renxue gave a dry laugh and quietly shuffled half a step back on her short little legs.

"Teacher, you really know how to joke."

"Your disciple suddenly feels that becoming an Immortal isn't so urgent after all."

"The moon is beautiful tonight. Why don't I go back to my room and sleep, then come pay my respects to you first thing tomorrow morning?"

Before she had finished speaking, Qian Renxue greased the soles of her feet. Her six-year-old body displayed a fleeing speed that would leave even a Titled Douluo in the dust.

The golden wings on her back spread open, and she turned into a streak of golden light, racing for the courtyard gate!

You want to stew me?

Not a chance!

I'm the Young Master of Spirit Hall! How could I let someone toss me into a pot and stew me like an old hen without even knowing why?!

"Running? In your teacher's Daoist Field, where can a little girl like you possibly run?"

Bai Yi stood where he was, shook his head lightly, and gave a casual wave of his long sleeve.

"Whoosh!"

A mighty surge of Power of Heaven and Earth enveloped the entire courtyard. Qian Renxue felt the space around her abruptly turn upside down.

As heaven and earth spun, she flew backward, straight toward the space above the great cauldron!

"Ah! Teacher! Put me down!"

Qian Renxue flapped about like a Swan, her cries echoing above the courtyard.

"Splash!"

A crisp splash rang out.

Qian Renxue plunged headfirst into the scalding Medicinal Liquid in the cauldron, where medicinal power surged and roiled toward her.

"Bubble, bubble—"

Qian Renxue immediately gulped down two mouthfuls of medicinal broth, choking until her eyes filled with tears.

I'm done for!

I'm really going to become a famous dish today!

Qian Renxue instinctively held her breath and kicked her short little legs desperately, trying to rise to the surface. In her mind, she had already begun recalling her days in Spirit Hall, when Grandpa Qian Daoliu had cherished her in the palm of his hand.

Grandpa, your granddaughter is meeting her end in this other world today. I haven't even had a full meal before dying, and instead I'm becoming someone else's meal!

But the very next moment, Qian Renxue froze.

Huh?

What's going on?

She was clearly sunk at the bottom of the cauldron, surrounded by Medicinal Liquid churning like overturned rivers and seas. Yet apart from choking on a mouthful, she didn't seem to feel any other discomfort.

Instead, she felt a surge of vitality-filled energy flow into her body.

It seems I can breathe underwater!

Before Qian Renxue could recover from the dramatic reversal, a glowing clump of muck suddenly squirmed toward her through the mud at the bottom of the cauldron.

The mud stuck directly to her ankle, then spread up her fair, tender little leg.

In the blink of an eye, it had wrapped her up like a mud person.

Qian Renxue instantly bristled.

She was a clean freak!

"Pah, pah, pah! What is this filthy stuff?!"

Qian Renxue reached out with her mud-covered little hands and desperately tried to scrape the muck off her body.

"Disgusting! Teacher! It's bad enough that you're stewing me, but why are you putting mud in the pot too?!"

From outside the cauldron came Bai Yi's leisurely voice.

"Little girl, you really don't recognize a good heart."

"Do you know how many heavenly treasures this cauldron of Medicinal Liquid is worth?"

"To reforge an Immortal Bone Foundation for your terribly frail body, your teacher chopped up three whole Ginseng Fruits as an ingredient!"

"As for that clump of mud wrapped around you, even a piece no bigger than a little fingernail is precious Nine Heavens Xirang.

"As for this great pool of water, it has been mixed with a drop of Three Lights Divine Water, a healing miracle medicine rare even in the Primordial World."

Bai Yi's voice echoed in Qian Renxue's ears.

Qian Renxue's little hands stopped scraping at the mud, and she was utterly bewildered.

She knew what ginseng was, but what was a Ginseng Fruit?

And what was this so-called Three Lights Divine Water?

"Th-these... what are all these things?"

Qian Renxue murmured to herself.

Bai Yi sighed softly and spoke at a leisurely pace.

"In ancient times, heaven and earth had no intelligent Human Race, and the land was desolate."

"There existed a supreme Saint known as Goddess Nüwa."

"Goddess Nüwa used this Nine Heavens Xirang as flesh and bone and this Three Lights Divine Water as blood and veins, molding earth to create humans. Thus began the Human Dao Era, and the Heavenly Dao bestowed boundless Merit upon her, allowing her to attain the undying, indestructible Primordial Chaos Saint Position."

"Now your teacher is using these sacred materials of human creation to help you reforge an Innate Dao Body, yet you, little girl, actually think this Nine Heavens Xirang is dirty?"

Inside the great cauldron, Qian Renxue heard every word clearly.

Goddess Nüwa?

She used this mud and water to create the Human Race?!

Douluo World.

Bai Yi's voice resounded throughout the entire world through the Heavenly Screen's live broadcast.

Silence fell over Douluo World.

"Humans... humans were molded from mud by a Divine Being?!"

In Heaven Dou City, Xue Ye sprang up from his dragon throne, his face full of disbelief.

"How is that possible? How could humans have been created? We're clearly born and reproduce. How could Goddess Nüwa have molded earth to create humans?!"

Spirit City, Pope's Palace.

Bibi Dong's pretty face, usually majestic and noble, was now filled with shock.

Divine Beings are undying and indestructible...

But that refers to the Deities of the Divine Realm!

Yet the Divine Being Nüwa whom Bai Yi described on the Heavenly Screen had created humans from Xirang. Her strength could probably pin the gods of the Douluo God Realm to the ground and beat them senseless.

After all, Bibi Dong herself had inherited the Rakshasa God's legacy, but she had never heard of any Divine Being who could mold earth to create humans.

Inside the Worship Hall.

Great Enshrined Qian Daoliu threw back his head and laughed wildly, tears streaming down his aged face.

"Hahahahaha! Good! Excellent!!"

"The materials Goddess Nüwa used to create humans! Three Ginseng Fruits that can extend one's life by tens of thousands of years!"

"This is a heaven-defying opportunity for Xue'er! A heaven-defying blessing!"

Beside him, Golden Crocodile Douluo also stroked his beard and laughed, his face full of pride.

All of Spirit Hall was rejoicing. By contrast, the faces of the other factions in Douluo World turned exceedingly ugly as one.

Why?!

Why should Spirit Hall's Qian Renxue alone enjoy such Immortal-like treatment?

They had watched everything beneath this Heavenly Screen, listened to the Dao until they coughed up blood, swallowed their saliva as they watched others eat Ginseng Fruits, and could only stare helplessly as Sun Wukong received a cultivation technique!

Apart from adding to their fear and strengthening Spirit Hall's deterrence, this Heavenly Screen...

For factions like theirs that opposed Spirit Hall, it was simply mental torture!

"Thieving heavens! This is unfair!"

"Why give opportunities only to Qian Renxue? Are we, the countless living beings of the Douluo Continent, destined to be mere spectators?!"

"If you've got the guts, give us a share too! Even a single drop from that pot of soup would do!"

The factions opposing Spirit Hall across the Douluo Continent seethed with resentment, and countless Soul Masters cursed and protested in their hearts.

Perhaps sensing the intense jealousy and unwillingness of the living beings of the Douluo Continent,

The golden divine light on the Heavenly Screen suddenly trembled violently.

"Hum!"

The void trembled, and the Great Dao roared.

A voice that was neither male nor female rang out in the minds of the living beings of Douluo World!

"Resentment has been detected gathering among the various factions, who speak of the Heavenly Screen's unfairness."

"The Heavenly Screen hereby bestows a blessing, spreading rain and dew equally upon all."

"All Soul Masters in Douluo World may apply to participate in the Foundation-Reforging Baptism!"

"Participants will endure a Rule Projection of one hundred-millionth of the medicinal power Qian Renxue is receiving."

"This baptism depends entirely on willpower, regardless of Soul Power or Martial Soul quality."

"Those who succeed in the baptism will have their Martial Souls break their shackles and undergo a second evolution!"

"Those who fail the baptism will have their Martial Souls regress."

"This opportunity is entirely voluntary for all living beings. Each must accept their own fate."
