Zhou Ming's live lesson: how a Saint takes elegant revenge!

Zhou Ming looked at Nuwa's wary and distant expression and spoke calmly.

"The meaning is simple: someone wants to use you, fellow Daoist, to set the stage for this Investiture of the Gods Tribulation."

Upon hearing this, the Empress Wa's Palace fell into complete silence, as if even the air itself had frozen.

Nuwa was taken aback at first, then almost instinctively retorted.

"Impossible!"

A hint of disbelief flickered in her phoenix eyes.

"I have long ago made up my mind to keep the palace gates tightly shut, to remain uninvolved in Karma, to ignore worldly affairs, and to not interfere in this Tribulation in the slightest."

"Do they dare to force me to do this?!"

Nuwa's words abruptly stopped at this point.

A flash of understanding crossed her phoenix eyes, which seemed to see through the workings of Zaohua.

As Saint, she instantly understood the deeper meaning behind Zhou Ming's words.

How could Saint resort to such a low-level tactic as "coercion"?

But what if it's... scheming?

It was to make her unknowingly and "willingly" jump into the trap they had dug.

An unnamed fire quietly rose from the depths of her heart.

Do these guys really think they can bully her just because she's all alone?

How are they going to scheme against me?

Nuwa's words were filled with confusion.

"I am now all alone, free from the burdens of any sect, and without the worries of any disciples. It can be said that I have no further connection with this Primordial Wilderness world."

This is what Nuwa truly couldn't understand.

She is now a complete loner, all alone, unlike the Three Pure Ones who Dao Lineage, or the Two Saints of the West who have a desire for great prosperity.

He had no ties whatsoever, not even a disciple or grand-disciple who could be threatened.

Moreover, she voluntarily closed the Dao Field.

How could this be calculated?

Zhou Ming did not answer directly, but instead asked a question in return.

"Fellow Daoist, what is the cause of this Tribulation?"

Nuwa without hesitation.

It began with the transition from the Shang-Zhou to the Zhou dynasty, and with the rise and fall of the Human Clan.

"That's exactly right."

Zhou Ming nodded and continued.

"The Tribulation originated with the Human Clan, and you, my fellow Daoist, are the Holy Mother of the Human Race."

"Connected to the Fortune of the Human Clan."

"That's why they chose you to initiate this Tribulation."

"As for how to scheme against you, fellow Daoist..."

A mysterious smile appeared on Zhou Ming's face.

"Fellow Daoist, do you know what day it is today?"

Nuwa was taken aback.

She lived in the Empress Wa's Palace for a long time, oblivious to the passage of years and the passage of time, so why would she care what day it was?

For someone like her, what difference does a day make between a day and ten thousand years?

What day is it?

Zhou Ming looked at her, a strange smile on his face.

"Fellow Daoist, have you forgotten that today is your birthday?"

Nuwa: "..."

Upon hearing this, Nuwa suddenly understood.

Oh, so that's what it is.

This is simply because the Human Clan, in gratitude for her creation of humankind, designated this day as her birthday, offering sacrifices and prayers every year.

For Saint like them, whose lifespans are endless, there is no difference from any other day.

"Oh, you mean this?"

Even if today is my Christmas Day, so what?

How are they going to use this to their advantage against me?

Nuwa remained puzzled.

Could it be that this alone is enough to taint her with the Karma of Tribulation?

That's just ridiculous.

Zhou Ming's smile deepened.

"According to the ancestral rules of the Human Clan, today, the current Human Emperor must personally lead all civil and military officials to the Empress Wa's Palace to offer incense."

"If..."

Zhou Ming paused here, looking at Nuwa meaningfully.

"If this Human Emperor were to do something outrageous within your Empress Wa's Palace, before your sacred statue..."

"This has enraged you, fellow Daoist; therefore, you shall be punished."

"Doesn't this naturally set the stage for the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation?"

Nuwa's phoenix eyes narrowed, and a storm raged in her heart.

She instantly understood the whole story.

If the Human Emperor is blasphemous, then as the offended Saint and the Holy Mother of the Human Race, it is perfectly reasonable and justified for her to punish him!

In this way, the fate of the Shang Dynasty would inevitably be thrown into turmoil, and the great calamity would begin, which would then become a foregone conclusion.

And she became the one who personally ignited the flames of war.

"Fellow Daoist, do you mean they want to use the Human Emperor to scheme against me?"

"But... what outrageous things could a mere Human Emperor possibly do?"

As Saint, her mind had long since reached a state of perfect tranquility.

To her, the offenses of mortals were no different from the provocations of ants.

Even if he's incredibly audacious and smashed my statues and destroyed my temples, I wouldn't be so enraged as to initiate Tribulation!

He said this with absolute confidence.

The dignity of Saint cannot be shaken by the words and deeds of an ordinary person.

To her, it was nothing more than a clay or wooden sculpture; if it was destroyed, so be it. What did it have to do with her True Body?

To unleash a thunderous rage over such a trivial matter would only make us a laughingstock among all living beings in the Primordial Wilderness world.

She simply couldn't fathom how a mortal could possibly ignite such rage in this Saint, causing her to lose her reason.

Seeing Nuwa's confident expression, Zhou Ming smiled.

"Hehe."

"Fellow Daoist, if you want to know what methods they have prepared to plot against you..."

Why not go and see for yourself?

"I believe that scene will not disappoint you, fellow Daoist."

Zhou Ming's words were full of allure.

Nuwa fell silent.

A long silence fell over the main hall.

She understood that Zhou Ming was right.

Since the other party dared to scheme against her, a Saint, they must have made thorough preparations.

There must be a way to completely enrage her.

She was filled with curiosity, but also with anger.

She wanted to know which "good fellow Daoist" was plotting against her behind the scenes.

"Good."

"I will then accompany you, fellow Daoist, to Chaoge."

"I'd like to see just how they plan to scheme against me!"

That cold voice already carried a chilling undertone.

Having achieved his goal, Zhou Ming said no more, only adding one more sentence before leaving.

"Fellow Daoist, we need to agree on this first."

"On this trip to Chaoge, you and I are merely spectators."

"No matter what you see or what happens, you must not interfere with the normal course of events."

Upon hearing this, Nuwa immediately became alert and turned sharply to look at Zhou Ming.

"You also want me to trigger the Tribulation?"

Zhou Ming met her gaze calmly and smiled noncommittally.

"Since the Tribulation is destined to begin, what difference does it make who initiates it?"

"Since they've gone to such lengths to have you ignite this first spark, why don't you just grant their wish?"

"Since they've gone to such lengths to have you initiate this Tribulation, why don't you grant their wish?"

"Perfect Tribulation, fellow Daoist, you can take this opportunity to settle old Karma with them."

"Let's teach them a lesson they won't forget, and let them know that you, fellow Daoist, are not so easily bullied."

"So that they won't always think that you're all alone and can be easily schemed against."

A slight smile curved at the corners of Zhou Ming's lips.

"Fellow Daoist, you are all alone, unburdened by any major sect, and have no scruples."

"If things really escalate, they're the ones who should be afraid."

Upon hearing this, Nuwa fell into deep thought.

Zhou Ming's words struck a chord with her.

yes.

I belong to no sect or school, unlike the Three Pure Ones, who have large families, numerous disciples, and many concerns.

Unlike those the Two from the West, whose sects are impoverished and who need to Fortune and plot for fortune.

At worst, we'll just have a fight!

Among Saint, who can truly defeat whom?

We'll take advantage of this great Tribulation to settle old scores and new grudges with them!

We'll talk about it later.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ming simply smiled and said nothing more.

At that point, you won't have a choice.

If you want to interfere with the course of events at a crucial moment, you should ask me if I agree.

Now that the game has begun, it must proceed according to the player's wishes.

But he is the true chess player.

"In that case, let's set off."

As Zhou Ming finished speaking, a faint Dao Rhyme emanated from his Surrounding Body, and his figure instantly became blurred, merging with the surrounding void.

Seeing this, Nuwa also flicked her sleeve, and with the flow of Humanity Dao aura, she completely concealed her form.

Then, two Dao Body silently traversed the endless void, speeding towards the direction of Chaoge in the mortal realm.
