This Little Figurine Looks So Good

Hong Yi: "...Both the Yang God and Martial Dao systems have reached their peak. In the end, by means of Great Vows, one transcends the self and keeps forging ahead. The Other Shore is boundless."

Meng Qi: "The 'Other Shore' on my side can, to a certain extent, already be called an exerciser of transcendence. Similar to the Da Dao of the Primordial Wilderness, tracing back through time, it is the most powerful and most ancient..."

Within the Myriad Heavens Chat Group, several bigwigs were introducing and exchanging notes on the cultivation systems of their respective worlds. The foundation of these cultivation systems lay in the rules of their respective worlds, and there was no distinction of superiority or inferiority. For Ye Fan, Meng Qi, and the others, understanding these cultivation systems was the best way to grasp the rules of a world.

Fang Xun was also lurking on the screen at the moment. He rarely spoke during the various Dao Debates among the bigwigs, constantly absorbing nourishment to feed back into himself.

The remaining few also intended to foster him, always stating things in the simplest manner during their Dao Debates.

Ji Ning: "Fang Xun, how is your current situation?"

The Dao Debate coming to a temporary close, Ji Ning asked about Fang Xun's current situation. After spending some time together, everyone had grown a bit more familiar and much more casual.

Fang Xun: "After taking Teacher as my master, I am temporarily free from any threat to my life. I have now adapted to my identity and can begin our plan."

Actually, Fang Xun had already taken Nuwa as his master for quite some time, gradually adapting to this identity. Of course, there was nothing much to adapt to, and currently Nuwa seemed not to have too much time to bother with him.

Meng Qi: "Oh, you're ready?"

Ye Fan: "We've just been waiting for these words from you."

Fang Xun's words directly caused everyone to focus their attention on the main business at hand.

Under the suggestions of the several bigwigs who were well-acquainted with the plot and Fang Xun's own choices, the five of them had preliminarily formulated a basic plan to test the Primordial Wilderness and pry at Destiny.

Now that Fang Xun was ready, the rest of them became somewhat expectant and excited.

For Ye Fan and the others, who had been invincible for God knows how long, this was an emotion they hadn't experienced in a very long time.

Fang Xun: "I'll have to trouble Dao Friend Ji Ning, then."

Ji Ning: "This was my suggestion to begin with. I am a human being truly created by Empress Nuwa. No matter which world it is, I hope Empress Nuwa can live more at ease."

The plan finalized by everyone began with Fang Xun's current teacher, Nuwa.

Due to his own background and experiences, Ji Ning held Empress Nuwa in extreme respect.

Yet in certain conspiracy-laden versions of the Primordial Wilderness, Empress Nuwa's state could hardly be considered good.

Thus Ji Ning proposed starting with Empress Nuwa, and Fang Xun naturally raised both hands in agreement.

Not to mention his reverence for Empress Nuwa, given Fang Xun's present identity, the stronger Nuwa was, the safer he would be.

"Empress Nuwa..."

Within the Barbaric Universe, Ji Ning in white, who was currently taking his wife to travel across various parts of the cosmos, felt a stir in his heart and looked toward the Wa Imperial Palace far away in the Three Realms.

It had been tens of thousands of Chaos Epochs since Ji Ning became the Sovereign. Today's Barbaric Universe was long since incomparable to the past; the number of practitioner supremes had broken a hundred, and there were also over ten Emperor Lords who had grasped the Eternal Ultimate Dao.

These were all achievements of Ji Ning's various improvements to cultivation techniques and his preaching of the Dao throughout the universe.

From this, one could see the difference between having a Sovereign and not having one. Before Ji Ning became Sovereign, throughout endless years, there had been fewer than ten practitioner supremes, and not a single Emperor Lord who had mastered the Ultimate Dao.

Yet after possessing a Sovereign, the Barbaric Universe developed frantically, chasing closely after the Xisi Universe.

The Three Realms, the Wa Imperial Palace—this was the Daoist sanctuary of Supreme Nuwa, the Guardian of the Three Realms.

With Nuwa's natural talent and Ji Ning's care, she was practically among the first batch of Sovereigns to step into that realm after the war, and today her prestige resounded throughout the entire Barbaric Universe as she guarded the hometown of the Sovereign.

"Beiming?" Supreme Nuwa, who was distantly sensing the Origin of Myriad Daos, came back to her senses and asked with some uncertainty.

"It is me." Threads of radiance condensed in front of Supreme Nuwa as Ji Ning's Great Dao Projection crossed an endless distance to project itself here.

"Is there something the matter?" Supreme Nuwa knew that this Sovereign was currently traveling through the universe with his Dao Companion, and all internal affairs of the cosmos had been left to her and several other old supremes.

"Empress, I wish to understand whether you had any special insights when you created the Human Race." Ji Ning asked directly.

He could have directly observed Supreme Nuwa's life and even her mind through the privileges of the Sovereign, but he would never do such a thing.

"Ah?" Supreme Nuwa, who had cultivated for who knows how many Chaos Epochs, froze, completely failing to anticipate such a question.

"Is there any difficulty? This isn't really a big deal, though."

Ji Ning's initial thought was to obtain the most direct and clear insights from Nuwa concerning the time immediately before and after the creation of humans. If so, the help to that Empress Nuwa in the Primordial Wilderness should likewise be the greatest.

Supreme Nuwa of the Barbaric Universe and Nuwa of the Primordial Wilderness should be roughly similar in their realms, but Supreme Nuwa of the Barbaric Universe was already a mature entity who had experienced legendary events such as the Creation of Humans and Mending the Heavens.

In the calculations of Ji Ning and the others, her experience and insights constituted the greatest Opportunity for Enlightenment for that Nuwa who was still an Innate Divine Saint and had yet to grow up.

If that failed, Ji Ning was fully capable of personally creating a race and detailing every bit of insight to Fang Xun, which could similarly inspire Nuwa of the Primordial Wilderness.

"No..." Supreme Nuwa shook her head slightly. "Back then, the matter of creating the Human Race was probably the most meaningful decision I've ever made in my life."

The Sovereign of the universe came from the Human Race she created; could there be any honor loftier than this?

"It's just that, it's slightly..." A trace of embarrassment appeared on Supreme Nuwa's face.

"I originated from gods and demons, but at that time I also possessed the mindset of a young maiden. When creating the Human Race, I had no thoughts of seeking merit; I merely wanted... more playmates."

Hearing this, Ji Ning was somewhat stunned, but then he also smiled. "What's there to be shy about? The beginning of my sword practice back then was simply because sword immortals looked the coolest."

"I recently got to know a Dao Friend of exceptionally high cultivation who also used to toss and turn, losing sleep over his boyhood moniker of Mang Jingang."

Supreme Nuwa shook her head and laughed. This feeling of recalling childhood was extremely wondrous, both embarrassing and nostalgic.

She reached out and summoned two glowing orbs from the Wa Imperial Palace, which landed between herself and Ji Ning.

The radiance dissipated, revealing two clay figurines within.

"This is?" Ji Ning blinked, his mind inexplicably moved. "The clay figurines from back then?"

"Right, these are the first and second clay figurines I personally molded back then. They contain the Way of Yin-Yang Creation, but initially..."

Supreme Nuwa thought for a moment and spoke of the most genuine feelings she held when she molded these two clay figurines.

"Look, these two little figurines look so good. It would be even better if they came alive."

Supreme Nuwa pointed at the clay dolls, a gentle smile blooming on her face.

"...So that's how it was." Ji Ning looked at the two dolls, smiled, and nodded.

"Just this single sentence is probably more useful than me creating a few tribes."
