Nuwa Creates Humans
The more Nuwa tried to grasp this insight, the further it drifted away from Nuwa, until it disappeared completely.
Nuwa was quite disappointed to have missed this opportunity.
Seeing the change in Nuwa's expression, Fuxi's eyes flashed with a divine light, and he asked curiously.
"What happened to my sister? Why has she suddenly become so depressed?"
Nuwa did not hide anything and told Fuxi about how she had been drawn by the energy and glimpsed a sliver of Heavenly Secrets.
And she told Fuxi everything, saying that this might be her chance to become a saint.
"Little sister, are you saying you've sensed an opportunity to become a saint?"
Fuxi looked at Nuwa with slight surprise, not expecting his little sister to have grasped the opportunity to become a saint so early.
"That's exactly right!"
This opportunity is not something you can easily share with others, because if you're not careful, someone else might beat you to it and steal it away.
Therefore, one often shares opportunities with those closest to and most trusted by oneself.
In Nuwa's heart, Fuxi was the closest person to her in the Primordial World. If she didn't consult with Fuxi, who else could she consult with?
She was also 100% certain that Fuxi would not do anything to harm her.
"What are your thoughts, little sister? Why don't you tell me?"
However, Fuxi was not entirely sure whether Nuwa's recent enlightenment was related to the 'creation of humans', so he asked the same question.
After hearing Fuxi's words, Nuwa showed a thoughtful expression.
He then shared his insights with Fuxi: "I'm not entirely clear on it either; it just came to me on a sudden whim..."
So Fuxi listened quietly to Nuwa's words, and at the same time, he frowned slightly and began to consider them.
In the original history, the emergence of the Human Race should have occurred in the later stages of the Witch-Demon Calamity.
Yet, the Witch-Demon Calamity has not even begun.
It can be said that it was much, much earlier than expected.
However, this is not necessarily a bad thing.
If handled properly, it could even influence the course of the Witch-Demon Calamity.
Seeing that his younger sister had already grasped the Heavenly Secrets, Fuxi was generous enough to give her some pointers.
However, this suggestion cannot directly tell Nuwa the answer.
Ideally, she could understand the key points by drawing inferences from Fuxi's words and making connections with other things.
Therefore, Fuxi did not say it directly, but rather hinted at it indirectly.
"Why don't you think about it, sister? What are the strengths and weaknesses of all the myriad creatures on this Primordial World?"
"What are the strengths and weaknesses of the myriad races of the Primordial World? Primordial World are either constantly fighting and scheming, or embroiled in conspiracies and tricks. If there were even one race that upheld a benevolent heart..."
Thinking of this, Nuwa suddenly shuddered!
Her embroidered eyebrows stood on end, and she stared blankly at Fuxi, yet a surge of boundless inspiration suddenly rushed through her mind!
"Yes, yes! Living beings!"
Ignoring Fuxi's expression, Nuwa immediately began to use her magic to calculate.
Unlike the previous obscure secrets of Heavenly Secrets, Nuwa, having grasped the key, now clearly saw her own destiny through her calculations!
She wanted to create a being that had never existed before, and to create that race, she needed two treasures!
"..."
After calculating the whereabouts of the treasures again, Nuwa was stunned, because she could not deduce the location of the two treasures no matter what she tried.
Left with no other choice, Nuwa had to seek advice from Fuxi.
"Brother, my destiny is to create a race that has never existed before in the Primordial World. To create this race, we need the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil and the Innate Gourd Vine."
"But no matter how I try to figure it out, I can't find the whereabouts of those two items. I wonder if you could help me, brother?"
After hearing Nuwa's words, Fuxi no longer doubted that Nuwa's enlightenment was related to the creation of humankind.
Now was the perfect time for him to bring out the two treasures he had obtained— the Gourd Vine and the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil— after his previous scheming.
"Sister, are these the two treasures?"
As he spoke, Fuxi smiled slightly, spread his hands, revealing a clump of soil shimmering with rich spiritual energy and an Innate Spiritual Root containing endless mysteries.
This is the Gourd Vine, one of the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots that grows seven gourds.
Nuwa's beautiful eyes sparkled as she looked at Fuxi, who had already prepared two treasures for her, and she couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
Indeed, the person who treated me best in this world was Fuxi.
Moreover, it seems that the older brother had already paved the way for himself.
"Little sister, now that everything is ready, let's begin!"
For some reason, whenever Fuxi thought of the imminent birth of the Human Race, a strange emotion would rise in his heart.
Even though he has now reached an unbelievable level of cultivation, Fuxi still remembers his past life and birth.
"I will obey my brother's orders!"
Nuwa, of course, wouldn't refuse Fuxi's request, and readily agreed with a slight nod.
So the two left Penglai Island and came to the Primordial World.
After Fuxi took out the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, Nuwa gently picked up a piece, kneaded it carefully, and then threw it on the ground, casually chanting an incantation.
Then, the soil instantly took shape, slowly changing to resemble the transformed forms of Fuxi Nuwa.
A short while later, three naked people appeared on the ground. After looking around, the three bowed down to Nuwa in unison. "Greetings, Holy Mother."
Nuwa was overjoyed to see that the beings she created were so intelligent and well-mannered. After smiling at Fuxi, she took out the Gourd Vine that Fuxi had lent her before, lit the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, and sprinkled it onto the ground. Now that she was certain that creating humans was feasible, she began to speed up the process.
Sure enough, wherever the mud droplets fell, one multiplied into two, two into three, three into a thousand, and countless living beings spontaneously arose.
After an unknown period of time, Nuwa looked up and saw that the number of living beings had unknowingly reached one hundred thousand.
One by one, the creatures bowed down and said, "Greetings, Holy Mother!" Nuwa was naturally delighted once again.
Then she raised her hand and did some divination, and finally she discovered that the Heavenly Secrets had already bestowed a name upon this race.
"From now on, you will be called 'human beings'!"
However, in her joy, she completely failed to notice the strange expression on Fuxi beside her.
Admittedly, although the long years that Fuxi lived as a 'Fuxi' far exceeded the short few decades of his life, what Fuxi remembered most vividly was the human life filled with joy, anger, sorrow, fear, and all sorts of emotions, and the daily struggle for three meals a day.
As the beginning of everything, he dares not forget, nor can he forget!
Therefore, from the moment the Human Race was born, Fuxi's heart was filled with mixed feelings, and divine light seemed to flash in his mind.
