Nuwa's Remnant Soul

After the Seed of Corruption had been completely refined by the Nine Dragon Divine Fire, seven-colored radiance immediately surfaced across the three-meter-tall crystal stone that had been entirely wrapped within it. The light spread outward as if it possessed a spirit, quickly filling the entire interior of the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Shield.

The enormous amount of demonic energy produced by the burning Seed of Corruption was completely purified into pure life spiritual energy. Then, as though summoned, that energy returned to the Seven-Colored Crystal Stone.

Cracks began appearing across the crystal stone. They spread rapidly, covering the entire Seven-Colored Crystal Stone in the blink of an eye.

The Seven-Colored Crystal Stone suddenly exploded. Seven-colored rays poured forth like a celestial river, instantly cleansing the entire immortal city as countless crystal fragments scattered in every direction.

Xiao Yun immediately tried to dodge the flying crystal fragments, but he inadvertently discovered that all the War Spirits remained where they were, motionless, their faces filled with reverence. None of them intended to avoid the crystals. Some even deliberately twisted their bodies to receive them.

So when a relatively large crystal fragment flew toward him again, he did not dodge. He simply let it enter his body.

The moment it entered his body, he felt the crystal transform into an extraordinarily special energy that traveled throughout him. Wherever it passed, it seemed to mend some of his body's flaws, making him feel completely different.

It was as though he had been reborn. His entire body seemed to have become a Leakless Body. Most noticeably, he felt that his strength had increased at least fivefold. He should now be able to easily wield a weapon weighing over five thousand jin. His other attributes had also been greatly enhanced. If his previous Spiritual Sense had been at 1, it was now at least above 10, easily covering a radius of three kilometers.

By the time Xiao Yun noticed these changes and tried to seize more crystal fragments, it was already too late. All the fragments seemed capable of teleportation, instantly flying out of the underground hall and toward the entirety of Lingxiao Tianque.

Had Xiao Yun and the others been outside, they would have seen that as the seven-colored radiance spread, an enormous divine phantom appeared above Lingxiao Tianque. She wore a purple-gold battle robe and a saint's crown, with a seven-colored halo above her head. She stood suspended in the air as countless auspicious clouds gathered beneath her feet. Her white hair cascaded like the Milky Way, and the rise and fall of all things reflected in her eyes.

She did not speak. She merely raised her hand gently—

The shattered seven-colored crystals transformed into countless points of light and merged into every inch of polluted land.

"Heaven and Earth Creation Array, activate!" A remarkably calm voice rang out.

Array patterns appeared wherever the seven-colored crystals had merged. Once formed, they spread in all directions as if alive, quickly connecting flawlessly with the surrounding patterns and forming a massive array that enveloped all of Lingxiao Tianque.

Then countless beams of Creation Divine Light descended, as though an invisible giant hand had brushed across all of Lingxiao Tianque:

The corrupted blood vessels writhing across the palace walls shed their filth and once more shone with a jade-like luster;

The twisted clouds were pierced by seven-colored divine light and turned back into ethereal immortal mist;

The fallen Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals trembled violently. The rust on their armor peeled away, the ghostly flames in their eyes extinguished, replaced by clear immortal radiance;

The rotten tentacles of the immortal maidens transformed back into slender jade hands, and their hideous faces regained peerless beauty, though tears from the purification still hung at the corners of their eyes.

We pay respects to the Empress—!

All living beings in the city knelt in unison, their voices surging like a tide. The Golden Armored Divine Generals pressed their foreheads against the clouds, and even these iron-blooded men choked with emotion; the palace maids spread their flowing sleeves like lotus flowers, their sobs forming a melody. Even the Wind Chimes beneath the eaves and the Koi in the pond lowered their heads toward Nuwa. This was the highest reverence for the spirit of creation.

At the same time, Xiao Yun, within the underground hall, also felt an immense compassion—Nuwa's gaze upon all living beings, the bloodstained fingertips that had mended the heavens, the first breath of life she had blown into the clay when creating humanity.

Xiao Yun involuntarily dropped to one knee, pressing his palm against his chest in respect. The War Spirits behind him also knelt together. This was their instinctive awe toward a Creation Divine Spirit.

Then a compassionate voice said, "There is no need for such ceremony. I am merely a wisp of Empress Nuwa's remnant thought. To evolve all of Lingxiao Tianque, I have exhausted all my energy. This remnant thought cannot endure much longer, so I ask you, new generation Lord, to take good care of the newborn Nuwa Tribe."

After entrusting her final matter, Nuwa's phantom had already faded as thin as mist.

She looked toward Xiao Yun with a smile on her lips, then suddenly raised her hand and pointed at her own heart.

Empress, no! Sovereign of Destiny Chu Ying'e cried out.

Yet that remnant thought burned away without hesitation. All its radiance condensed into a chaotic-colored spirit pearl. When it landed before Xiao Yun, it transformed into a Mythic War Spirit with white hair, purple robes, and golden armor. Her eyes were closed, a Sky-Mending Stone pattern adorned her brow, and Aura of Creation's Endless Vitality coiled around her body.

She was no longer the Empress Nuwa of the Vast Wilderness World... but she carried my blessing for all living beings. A faint voice echoed between heaven and earth. "Please take her... to see the Great Wilderness... that I was unable to protect..."

When the lingering echoes faded, a mote of light gently brushed across Xiao Yun's eyelids, like a farewell.

Xiao Yun received Youyou's notification:

"Congratulations, Lord, on obtaining a Mythic War Spirit: Primordial God of the Great Wilderness * Holy Mother of All Races * Nuwa."

"Congratulations, Lord, on successfully reclaiming the Nine Heavens. You have received 250,000 Lord Experience, 200,000 Spiritual Power, 350,000 Gold Coins, 7,200 Bounty Points, 200 Breakthrough Stones, 10 Advanced Summoning Contracts, 5 Legendary War Spirit Fragments, and several pieces of blue and green equipment."

"Congratulations, Lord. Your Lord Level has reached Level 30. New trial regions have been unlocked: Netherworld Ghost Domain, Expedition to the Beast Ruins, Endless Trials, Supreme Sword Realm, and more."

"Congratulations, Lord, on completing the Descent of the Wood God mission. You have been rewarded with 50 fragments of the wood-element Mythic War Spirit Qingxia the Fairy and 50 fragments of the wood-element Mythic War Spirit Zixia the Fairy."

After all the upgrades were complete, Xiao Yun finally turned his attention to the War Spirit Nuwa before him and directly checked her panel:

[Mythic War Spirit: Holy Mother of All Races * Primordial God of the Great Wilderness * Nuwa]

[Attribute: Light]

[Class: Support]

[Level: 1 (Maximum 430)]

[Traits: Light Element Control, Earth Element Control, Creation Divine Power, Earth Mother Divine Light, Creation Divine Spirit]

[Skills: Art of Mending the Heavens, Spirit Connects All Things, Earth Mother Divine Light, Creation Blessing, Light Spirit Root]

This War Spirit's traits were simply too powerful, far surpassing those of the other War Spirits. Xiao Yun then checked Nuwa's ultimate skill at Level 1, the Art of Refining Stones to Mend the Heavens. It could grant all characters a Five-Colored Stone Shield equal to 12% of Nuwa War Spirit's maximum health.

This was an extraordinarily powerful support skill. With it, the entire team would be much safer. Once Nuwa grew stronger, her health would become incredibly high, and a single skill could provide everyone with shield defense worth several million.
