Seeing this question, Liu Feng was actually curious too. If he knew the value of the God-Slaying Spear, comparing it would give him a sense of other Primordial Chaos treasures of similar caliber.

At least he'd have a goal from now on.

Just as Liu Feng was about to take the God-Slaying Spear and check the Card Draw Group, a voice interrupted him.

"Disciple, where did this spear come from?"

It was Nuwa. She had sensed a fierce, murderous aura, and even in her state of enlightenment, it jolted her awake.

Waking up, she saw Liu Feng twirling the God-Slaying Spear in his hand with a flourish.

She also felt a powerful wave of divine sense enveloping Liu Feng, but it only lasted a moment before vanishing without a trace.

Nuwa asked curiously.

"Ah, Master, you're awake. This is the God-Slaying Spear. It just flew right in front of me!"

"The God-Slaying Spear!"

Nuwa gasped.

"Isn't this the treasure of Rahula, the Devil Ancestor of the West? How..."

Nuwa suddenly recalled the Heavenly Dao oath she'd heard earlier, and shock filled her heart. It seemed Rahula, like the Three Tribes, had failed.

She didn't know who defeated him, but it must have been someone stronger.

Still, his failure meant the God-Slaying Spear had ended up with her disciple.

It seemed her disciple's heaven-defying Fortune wasn't just talk!

She'd noticed it before, but she never imagined it would be this extreme.

Even a Primordial Killing Supreme Treasure like the God-Slaying Spear had come to him after losing its master. However, that divine sense just now was probably Rahula's mark on him, which worried Nuwa.

"Disciple, was that divine sense enveloping you just now from Rahula, the Devil Ancestor? What did he say to you? Will it harm you?"

"Mm, Master, you noticed."

"Of course. Though I'm not as strong as Rahula, I'm no slouch now! Besides, that was just a wisp of his remnant soul—I'm not afraid of that! But even a remnant soul could easily do something to you, so I'm worried."

"Master, rest assured. The Devil Ancestor was just surprised that the God-Slaying Spear chose me as its master. He told me not to let it go to waste, and he said some bitter words."

"Oh? What bitterness? Is it about the earlier Heavenly Dao oath?"

"That's right. The Devil Ancestor told me that before he made the Heavenly Dao oath, he also made a Great Dao oath. It went like this: 'I, Rahula, Lord of the Devil Path, though I failed in the Tribulation of Calamity, the Great Dao is not extinguished, and my heart will not die! Now I swear by this Great Dao: even if my soul scatters into the endless void, and my body is devoured by ten thousand devils, my resentment shall never fade. When chaos is reborn and order collapses, I will be reborn through chaos, gather the power of the Devil Race, use the sea of blood as ink and white bones as brushes, and write my chapter of domination. Then, I will ensure this Primordial Chaos world has no place for the righteous path, all shrouded in my devil's might. If I break this oath, may my soul be eternally sealed in the Nine Nether, never to reincarnate, battered by chaotic currents until form and spirit are destroyed. I, Rahula, will never betray my obsession. I will break through my shackles and return in force!'"

"What? A Great Dao oath? Rahula truly is audacious!"

Group Members: Indeed audacious. A Great Dao oath! And he plans to return in force—does he think the Primordial Chaos world is his backyard?

"Truly audacious. But unfortunately, this oath wasn't acknowledged by the Great Dao. The Great Dao didn't even give an echo. So Rahula had no choice but to issue the Heavenly Dao oath instead. This shows just how unwilling he was."

"So that's it. Did Rahula only say this to you?"

"That's right. He just told me about his bitterness, then dissipated into the world."

"Really? I find that hard to believe." Nuwa looked at Liu Feng with a half-smile. She didn't believe Rahula had only spoken of his failure and bitterness.

The Group Members didn't believe it either.

Yet Liu Feng nodded earnestly: "It really was just that. Nothing else!"

"Really? If so, I won't press further. You must refine this God-Slaying Spear well and cultivate diligently. Don't tarnish its reputation!"

Liu Feng: ...

Master, why are you saying the same thing as Rahula? Don't I get any face here?

Rahula looked down on my low cultivation, afraid I'd disgrace the God-Slaying Spear's name, and now you too.

Is my cultivation really that weak?

Well, compared to you, it really is.

But I can't help it!

It's not my fault I'm not one of you Chaos Demon Gods or Primordial Gods.

Seriously, no sympathy for my background.

Oh well, at least I have the Card Draw Group and heaven-defying Fortune. I'll definitely get stronger.

"What's with that expression? Did I say something wrong?"

"Ahem, Master is right. I'll definitely cultivate hard from now on!"

"That's good!"

Goddess Nuwa nodded, her divine sense erupting once more, her aura surging as well—yet she made no move at all.

Liu Feng: ???

What's this, trying to show off her power in front of me? Make me feel inferior? Well, you've picked the wrong person—I already know how strong you are, Master, no need to flaunt it.

"Master, what's wrong? Why the sudden burst of aura?"

"Since a moment ago, I've sensed a feeling of being spied on from all around. I released my divine sense but found no trace of any living being, yet that feeling hasn't faded—it's still here now. I'm a bit worried, so I wanted to probe again."

Goddess Nuwa said with a grave expression.

Liu Feng: ...

Group Members: ...

None of them expected that the Live Stream Room would be detected by Goddess Nuwa, and even faintly sensed by her.

What did this mean? It meant Goddess Nuwa's strength was formidable.

Who had set up the Card Draw Group? They didn't know, but it was certainly powerful. Now that the livestream could be sensed by Goddess Nuwa, it showed that even if her power wasn't on par with the group's founder, she wasn't far behind!

Perhaps she might even grow stronger in the future.

Liu Feng said a word to the Group Members in the Live Stream Room and closed it.

Goddess Nuwa's expression froze—that spying feeling had vanished.

Her gaze immediately fell on Liu Feng. Too suspicious—it disappeared right after she spoke.

If this had nothing to do with Liu Feng, she wouldn't believe it.

But upon closer inspection, she found nothing unusual. What was going on?

"Disciple, do you know something?"

"Ah, how could I? I don't know anything. If you hadn't mentioned it, Master, I wouldn't even have known someone was spying. You know my strength, Master—it's too weak. So I really don't know anything."

"Is... that so?"

Goddess Nuwa was noncommittal. She gave Liu Feng a deep look but said nothing more.

Everyone had secrets, and she didn't press further.

She'd find a chance later to thoroughly investigate his secrets.

For now, she had to continue cultivating. Rahula's failure had given her a great sense of crisis—she needed to keep getting stronger!
