Why Should I Cooperate With You?
Nuwa stared at him coldly, as if she could see right through him.
She felt that this guy was all about scheming.
"You're so kind."
"They didn't mention any conditions, they just told me how to solve it."
Are you kidding me!
She knows this guy's tricks inside and out now!
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ming's face immediately showed a pained expression, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
"Oh! Fellow Daoist! Your words have really hurt my feelings!"
"What kind of relationship do we have? What kind of person have I taken Zhou Ming for!"
"Don't hold such a deep prejudice against me; I'll tell you the solution now."
Nuwa: "..."
She watched him perform quietly, not believing a single word he said.
Seeing that Nuwa remained silent, Zhou Ming stopped arguing and spoke seriously.
"Actually, this matter is much simpler to resolve than you imagine, fellow Daoist."
"As long as you make him Heavenly Dao Oath before he Prove the Dao and become a Saint in Taiqing, promising not to enjoy the Fortune of the Human Clan, that will be fine."
Nuwa was stunned by these words.
Is it really that simple?
The thought had barely crossed her mind when she extinguished it.
She didn't trust Zhou Ming.
Will this method work?
Her tone was full of doubt.
Zhou Ming responded casually.
"Whether it works or not, fellow Daoist, why don't you try and see?"
"Fellow Daoist, don't forget, you created the Human Clan with your own hands; you are the Holy Mother of the Human Race!"
"Now he's Taiqing. Without even a word to you, and without your permission, he wants to the Establish Sect and become a saint among the Human Clan, seizing Human Clan Fortune."
"This is entirely his fault; he's showing no respect for you, a Saint!"
"If you grasp this point, you can confidently approach them."
"Forcing him to swear an oath that would prevent him from enjoying the Fortune of the Human Clan."
"If he wants to Prove the Dao and become a Saint, he will absolutely agree!"
"Fellow Daoist only prevented him from sharing in the Fortune, but did not stop him from using the Human Clan to Prove the Dao and become a Saint, which does not hinder the Heavenly Dao Trend."
"At that time, even Dao Ancestor Hongjun will have no reason to make things difficult for you."
"What do you think, fellow Daoist?"
Nuwa fell into deep thought.
Yes, she's in the right.
She is the true creator of the Human Clan, the Saint Mother of the Human Clan.
Taiqing's actions have crossed the line.
"What you say, fellow Daoist, is indeed worth a try."
Nuwa nodded slowly, but her vigilance remained unwavering as she stared intently at Zhou Ming.
"Fellow Daoist told me about this method, is it truly... without any conditions?"
There are absolutely no conditions.
"However, there is one thing I must tell you in advance, lest you accuse me of plotting against you."
Nuwa's heart tightened.
They've arrived.
"What is it, fellow Daoist? Please speak freely."
The smile on Zhou Ming's face vanished, replaced by an unprecedented seriousness.
"Fellow Daoist, you must understand that a race capable of producing two Heavenly Dao Saint in succession is definitely not as simple as it seems."
"If you, fellow Daoist, force Taiqing to make an oath in this way, he will do it in order to Prove the Dao and become a Saint."
"Under those circumstances, I would definitely agree to your conditions, fellow Daoist."
"But what happens after he becomes a saint?"
"After he truly becomes a saint, after he truly understands the wonder and importance of the Human Clan's Fortune."
"Thinking back to the oath you forced me to make, severing this incredible opportunity..."
"Fellow Daoist, what do you think he'll think?"
Will he be grateful to you for helping him attain enlightenment?
"No."
He will only resent you for taking away his greatest opportunity.
"At that time, you would have completely offended him."
"So, whether or not to do this is entirely up to you, fellow Daoist."
After saying that, Zhou Ming stopped talking and just looked at her quietly, leaving the choice entirely to her.
Nuwa's expression shifted between light and dark.
Offending a future Saint, and not just any sage, but the head of the Three Pure Ones, Laozi, the Taiqing Laozi, who was the Pangu's Primordial Spirit?
She knew better than anyone what this meant.
This means that she will offend both the Three Pure Ones at the same time.
But are we really going to just give up those thirty percent of the Human Clan's Fortune like that?
After a moment, the hesitation and struggle in Nuwa's eyes completely disappeared.
She suddenly laughed, a cool laugh, yet carrying the unique arrogance of Saint!
So what if I offend him!
"He was in the wrong in this matter. Knowing that I created the Human Clan, he Prove the Dao and become a Saint among the Human Clan without even informing me."
"Even if he had already become a saint, let alone before he has, it would be reasonable for him to at least say hello to me!"
"By doing this, he clearly doesn't respect me, a Saint!"
"If that's the case, why should I worry about offending him?"
"Moreover, Fortune of great benefit to the cultivation of Saint like us. By doing this, he is robbing me of my opportunity!"
"He's not afraid to offend me, so why should I, Nuwa, fear Taiqing!"
The dignity of Saint cannot be challenged!
Not a single thing that belongs to her can be given up!
"Haha, great!"
Zhou Ming clapped his hands and laughed, making no attempt to hide his admiration.
"I knew I hadn't misjudged you, fellow Daoist. You truly have impressive courage!"
"In that case, I will tell you the rest of the matter, fellow Daoist."
These words instantly cooled Nuwa's newly risen sense of pride, and her vigilance returned.
Nuwa's heart tightened.
"Oh? Is there anything else you wish to tell me, fellow Daoist?"
Have you considered this question, fellow Daoist?
"Human Clan is so special. Once the other Saint achieve sainthood, won't they covet Human Clan's Fortune?"
"Primordial Lord, Tongtian, Jieyin, Zhunti..."
With each name Zhou Ming uttered, Nuwa's expression grew increasingly grim.
"At that time, will you, fellow Daoist, be able to withstand the other Five Saints alone?"
"If you, fellow Daoist, cannot stop them, then the Fortune of the Human Clan will ultimately be divided up and exhausted by those few Saint."
yes...
She could stop one Taiqing, but not a whole group!
Nuwa's face darkened completely, and she looked at Zhou Ming with icy eyes.
"Hehe..."
"No wonder you didn't mention any conditions just now, and told me how to resolve the issue of Taiqing occupying the Human Clan's Fortune."
"So that's where you were waiting for me."
She's finally figured it out!
All the groundwork and analysis beforehand were for this final strike!
This guy planned everything from the very beginning!
"Fellow Daoist, are you saying that you can help me hold off the other Saint, but... I'll have to pay a price, is that right?"
"Furthermore, you have repeatedly emphasized the importance of the Human Clan's Fortune."
"It seems your true purpose, fellow Daoist, is also to obtain the Fortune of the Human Clan?"
Faced with Nuwa's questioning, Zhou Ming made no attempt to hide his feelings and nodded frankly.
"Good."
"My goal is also the Fortune of the Human Clan."
His candor left Nuwa speechless for a moment.
Zhou Ming continued speaking calmly and unhurriedly.
"However, I am different from the rest of them."
"Every time I negotiate terms with fellow Daoists, it's always an equal exchange."
"This time, it's the same."
"I'll help you fend off the covetousness of the other Saint, and in return, you'll share a portion of the Human Clan's Fortune with me."
"At least I've made some sacrifices, but the other Saint are just blatantly robbing me. The choice is up to you, fellow Daoist."
Nuwa fell silent.
She had to admit that what Zhou Ming said was true.
But as Saint, she would not easily be manipulated.
"Since I'm going to have to sacrifice my Fortune, why don't I just cooperate with Taiqing directly?"
Why expend more Fortune to cooperate with you?
"To cooperate with him, I only need to give up 30% of my Fortune."
"But in cooperating with you, fellow Daoist, I'm afraid I'll have to give up more than 30%?"
"Moreover, cooperating with Taiqing is equivalent to cooperating with the Three Pure Ones!"
"I only need to sacrifice 30% of my Fortune to gain the help and friendship of three future Saint!"
Why expend more Fortune to cooperate with you?
