As fellow Saints, Yuanshi could not be bothered to maintain any saintly dignity.
Just as Zhun Ti had said before, they were the closest of fellow disciples. Who did not know everyone else inside out?
Yuanshi went straight in with a flying kick.
Tongtian instantly sprawled before Nuwa.
"Second Brother, is something seriously wrong with you?!"
Yuanshi paid no attention to Tongtian's wails. Smiling, he replied to Nuwa.
"You know my third brother. That is just his personality. There is something wrong with his head."
Nuwa gave a slightly complicated nod.
"It is fine. The three senior brothers rarely visit my Wa Palace, yet you put on a show the moment you arrive. I am not losing out."
Then she lowered her head and stared at Tongtian.
"Third Senior Brother, can you still manage?"
Tongtian stubbornly got to his feet and dusted off nonexistent dirt from his clothes.
"A man cannot say he cannot manage!"
The group entered Wa Palace Hall. After taking their seats, the atmosphere remained somewhat awkward.
Tongtian shot Yuanshi a furious sidelong glare.
Yuanshi merely sipped his tea and smiled in praise.
"Our junior sister's tea is truly excellent."
Sensing the strange atmosphere, Nuwa gave an awkward smile.
"If Second Senior Brother likes it, I will give you some later."
Laozi took a deep breath and quickly steered the conversation back on track.
"Junior Sister, we have come to Wa Palace on an important matter."
Nuwa looked as though she were suppressing a laugh.
Sorry, but I really could not see what urgent business you had. You looked more like idle wanderers.
"Please speak, Senior Brother."
"The Human Race was created by Junior Sister, yet I see that Junior Sister has not given them much support."
"Oh, so it is about that. I still think they should become independent and strive for themselves. Mainly, I do not have a lineage, so I simply do not know how to develop a force."
"Junior Sister, that is not right. Junior Sister may lack experience, but the three of us have it. We can help the Human Race."
The moment those words fell, Nuwa's face was full of bewilderment.
Had happiness come so suddenly?
Three Saints suddenly wanted to lend the Human Race a helping hand.
Coming back to her senses, Nuwa hurriedly said,
"Speaking of which, I must thank the disciples of the three senior brothers for teaching my Human Race and bringing forth the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors."
As the Holy Mother of the Human Race, she controlled the Human Race's providence.
Any slightest disturbance among the Human Race would naturally be known to Nuwa immediately.
Li Yuan and the others teaching the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors could not escape Nuwa's notice either.
The emergence of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors was indeed a milestone in the Human Race's development.
The Three Pure Ones immediately wore proud smiles, though each spoke in their own way.
"My disciple Li Yuan merely has a few unusual ideas. Xuandu also comprehends things quickly."
"Guangchengzi felt that the Human Race was the race of his two senior brothers' mother, so he naturally gave it his all."
"Hahahahaha! With Duobao around, the rise of the Human Race will not be a problem. Modesty, modesty, hahahahahaha..."
Nuwa regarded the Three Pure Ones with a complicated expression and thought to herself,
"You do not look modest at all."
As a Saint, she still possessed a sense of the greater picture. She asked,
"Why have the three senior brothers suddenly become so concerned about the Human Race?"
Laozi replied mysteriously,
"This Daoist calculated through the art of deduction that the Human Race will be the future protagonists of the Primordial World."
"If Junior Sister continues to leave them unattended, trouble may easily arise. It would be better for us to properly develop the Human Race and make plans early."
As soon as he finished, disbelief appeared on Nuwa's face.
If you cannot find the book by its title, try searching for the author. It may simply have been renamed!
It was not that she doubted Laozi's art of deduction, but the Human Race was currently absurdly weak.
"The Human Race has only three Golden Immortals. They can become the protagonists of heaven and earth?"
"Three senior brothers, do not tease me."
Laozi quickly voiced his earlier conjecture.
"Junior Sister, think carefully. The moment the Human Race was born, Junior Sister attained the Dao and became a Saint."
"This Daoist was also able to attain the Dao and become a Saint through insights gained while traveling among the Human Race. As for the other Saints, they became Saints after being inspired by this Daoist."
"Does that not prove something?"
Nuwa nodded slightly and slowly said,
"It proves that Eldest Senior Brother's insights are powerful enough to usher in the era of Saints?"
Laozi rolled his eyes helplessly and took a deep breath.
No wonder Junior Sister had not established a lineage. It seemed her intelligence was not particularly high either.
Tongtian had already perfectly demonstrated the result of someone with poor judgment establishing a lineage.
If not for the support of his two elder brothers, the Interception Sect would have become a den of demons and monsters.
"This Daoist's insights are indeed powerful, but the key lies with the Human Race. The emergence of every Saint has been inseparably connected to the Human Race."
"Looking at it this way, the Human Race is certainly no ordinary race."
Nuwa lowered her eyes. Feeling that her eldest senior brother's words made great sense, she fell into deep thought.
The Three Pure Ones were in no hurry and simply drank their tea.
"Pfft!"
Tongtian suddenly turned his head and spat something out, muttering,
"Tea leaves got stuck in my teeth."
When he turned back, he saw the murderous looks in Laozi and Yuanshi's eyes.
Tongtian took two more large gulps, swallowing even the tea leaves.
Within the Human Ancestral Hall, Li Yuan was discussing the Dao with the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and several fellow disciples, consolidating their cultivation realms.
At the same time, he had not abandoned his habit of writing in his Diary.
The Human Race still has a chance to develop. The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors have already emerged. Fortunately, the Demon Court has not carried out the Witch Slaughtering Sword plan.
Within a side hall of Eight Scenery Palace, Laozi frowned deeply.
"The Witch Slaughtering Sword? What is that? It sounds as though it carries an aura of sinister karmic force."
If the Demon Court discovers in the future that demons devouring humans are more effective than spiritual pills and wondrous medicine, and that treasures refined from humans are extremely harmful to the Witch Race, how should this crisis be resolved? What a headache.
The Witch Slaughtering Sword plan was truly a great hurdle for the Human Race.
Anyone who experienced the Primordial World would basically be unable to avoid this calamity.
Li Yuan stated that if it came to it, he would directly mobilize the disciples of the Three Teachings to help the Human Race and fight the Demon Court to the bitter end for the time being.
In the side hall of Eight Scenery Palace, Laozi's brows had already formed the character for "river," and his expression changed drastically.
"The Human Race truly cannot be regarded as an ordinary race. They are so useful to the Demon Court that, with the Demon Court's ambitions, they would carry out this plan even if they had to tear apart their relationship with Junior Sister Nuwa."
"If it truly reaches that point, the conflict between the Wu-Demon races and the conflict between the Demon Race and the Human Race will become completely irreconcilable."
A life-and-death blood feud was never so easily reconciled. Most only led to endless cycles of revenge.
Within Wa Palace, Laozi secretly deduced the secrets of heaven, finding the karmic thread connecting the Human Race and the Demon Court amid countless threads of cause and effect.
He extended his divine sense into it, and his eyes abruptly widened.
Nuwa had just finished thinking and voiced her stance.
"Senior Brother, I think Senior Brother's words make great sense. I have no lineage to begin with, so I truly should properly develop the Human Race."
Who would have expected that the moment she finished speaking, Laozi rose to his feet and declared,
"We must immediately go to the Demon Court. There is an urgent matter."
Tongtian raised his head in confusion and asked,
"Big Brother, how urgent is it?"
Laozi smacked the back of Tongtian's head.
Without another word, Tongtian rose and stood behind Laozi.
Fine, it seemed very urgent.
