Nuwa: Robbery! Hand over half the West's merit!

Yuanshi Tianzun remained silent.

Faced with the endlessly complex questions posed by the Taiqing Saint, he chose to remain silent.

But this silence is the best explanation.

The Taiqing Saint looked at his usually arrogant Second Younger Brother and finally let out a long, drawn-out sigh.

"Well..."

"How foolish!"

"How... how could you join forces with those two to do such a thing...?"

Yuanshi Tianzun shuddered, and for the first time, a hint of embarrassment appeared on his usually aloof face.

He wanted to refute, but couldn't find the words.

Because that's the truth.

"Eldest Brother, it's too late to say all this now."

"What's done is done, there's no point in saying more!"

"The only solution now is to join forces with the two of them and defeat Fellow Daoist Nuwa!"

Saint's Scheme, each employing their own methods; what's wrong with that?

The mistake was that we were caught!

Having said that, the Yuanshi Tianzun Surrounding Body's Saintly Might surged, and he was about to unleash the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi to join the battle.

However, a hand gently rested on his shoulder.

"Primordial Lord."

The Taiqing Saint stopped him and slowly shook his head.

Even if we join forces to defeat Fellow Daoist Nuwa today, what then?

"The Karma of this matter have already been resolved. If you intervene further, you will only deepen the entanglement of Karma, making it even more difficult to resolve in the future."

Even if we manage to defeat her this time, so what?

Do you really think she'll just let this go?

"Does this mean we have to fight her every time?"

"It would be better to sit down and talk it over, and try to resolve this Karma."

The movements of Yuanshi Tianzun paused.

My Eldest Brother is right.

Fighting won't solve the problem.

Even if we win today, what difference will it make?

Nuwa is Saint, immortal and indestructible; the Settle Karma by fighting alone.

The best approach is to offer compensation. Although it may be embarrassing, it's better than letting things escalate to an unmanageable point.

Having figured this out, the violent aura emanating from Yuanshi Tianzun slowly subsided.

He took a deep breath, as if he had made an extremely difficult decision.

"Good."

"As you say, Eldest Brother."

Having said that, he took a deep breath and shouted loudly at the battle situation on the other side.

"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, please calm your anger."

"This humble Daoist is willing to make compensation to settle this Karma."

Nuwa, who was fully activating her Magic Treasure, paused slightly.

When the two who were struggling to Zhunti Jieyin Yuanshi Tianzun's words, they cursed inwardly at the same time.

Shameless!

This Primordial Lord actually trying to withdraw first!

They were left standing there, facing Nuwa's wrath alone!

"Good."

Nuwa gave a cold laugh, her clear, chilling voice echoing through the Chaos.

"I've taken note of your debt."

"Let me deal with these two culprits first, then I'll have a proper talk with you about compensation!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the power of the Diagram of Mountains and Rivers and the Creation Cauldron increased rather than decreased, and the attack became even more ferocious!

The pressure on Jieyin and Zhunti instantly increased several times over.

"Primordial Lord! You!"

Zhunti was so angry he almost spat out a mouthful of holy blood. That damned teammate, he betrayed others without even blinking an eye!

He dared not hesitate any longer and quickly shouted along with him.

"Fellow Daoist Nuwa! We are also willing to compensate!"

"Please stop, fellow Daoist! Everything can be discussed!"

Nuwa's offensive did not stop at all. The Creation Cauldron still carried the terrifying power to refine all things, smashing the Twelve-grade Golden Lotus of Merit time and time again.

The golden lotus's radiance had dimmed to its lowest point, as if it might shatter completely at any moment.

"Compensation?"

"OK."

"Then I'd like to hear what you two intend to do in terms of compensation."

Nuwa's voice, tinged with a hint of mockery, drifted over.

Upon Zhunti this, Zhunti was overjoyed, thinking there was a chance for things to turn around, and quickly replied.

"Fellow Daoist, we are willing to offer some Spirit Treasure and Spiritual Root as compensation!"

"If you find anything you like, please feel free to ask!"

When Nuwa heard this, it was as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world.

"Spirit Treasure? Spiritual Root?"

Do you think I need your few pieces of junk?

She pointed with her slender hand to the Creation Cauldron hanging above her head, radiating boundless power.

"Or do you mean you can produce Innate Supreme Treasure comparable to my Creation Cauldron?"

One sentence left Zhunti speechless.

Jieyin and Zhunti looked at each other, their faces full of bitterness.

Innate Supreme Treasure?

If they possessed such a treasure, would they still be being suppressed and beaten by Nuwa here?

Even if it really existed, it wouldn't be given to Nuwa!

Seeing that the defense of the Twelve-grade Golden Lotus of Merit was about to be completely shattered, Jieyin his teeth and couldn't care less about anything else.

He struggled to hold on while shouting loudly.

"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, just say it!"

"What exactly do you want? As long as the two of us can provide it, we can discuss it!"

Nuwa was waiting for these words.

Her attacks slowed slightly, and a calculating glint flashed in her cold phoenix eyes.

"Okay, you said it."

"I don't ask for much."

"Merit."

"I want half of the Merit after the Great Prosperity of the West!"

"If you agree, I will not pursue this matter any further!"

"What?"

Upon hearing this, both Jieyin and Zhunti gasped in shock, their sorrowful faces turning deathly pale.

"Half the Merit! That's impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Without even thinking, Zhunti screamed.

Half the Merit!

How dare she speak up!

That was Merit for the Great Prosperity of the West! It was a hope that the two brothers had been planning for countless Eon and had finally obtained!

The uses of these Merit have already been clearly arranged.

One-third of it was promised to Zhou Ming, to repay the Karma incurred during the siege of Zhou Ming in the Sea of Blood.

Another portion will be used to repay the debt of Merit they owed to Heavenly Dao when they Establish Sect and became saints.

What's left is theirs!

Now Nuwa wants half of it every time she asks?

If they really give it to her, what will the West have left after all their hard work?

Let alone Daxing, it would be good enough if they could just pay off their debt to Heavenly Dao!

Aren't they just working for the Heavenly Dao, working for Zhou Ming, and working for Nuwa for nothing?

Moreover, this Merit is fundamental to their future Dao Path! How could they possibly be willing to give it to Nuwa!

They would rather be beaten to death by Nuwa here than agree to this condition!

"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, this condition is far too harsh!" Jieyin with difficulty.

"Fellow Daoist, please choose another one."

Just as the Two Saints of the West were filled with shock and anger, the Supreme Taiqing Saint, upon hearing Nuwa's request, suddenly had a thought.

Merit?

Nuwa was actually plotting to Merit?

A thought instantly surfaced in his mind.

Could it be... that she is also preparing to break away from the Heavenly Dao?

Since Tongtian successfully broke free from the Heavenly Dao, which of these Saint wasn't tempted?

Who wouldn't want to break free from the control of the Dao Ancestor and truly attain Great Freedom and Great Ease?

However, it is easier said than done to escape the Heavenly Dao.

However, getting past the Dao Ancestor is difficult, and resolving the vast Karma with the Heavenly Dao is even more challenging.

But just because it doesn't work now doesn't mean it won't work in the future.

If one finds an opportunity in the future to break free from the Heavenly Dao, one must demonstrate sufficient power to settle karmic ties with the Heavenly Dao Settle Karma.

He and Primordial Lord bear the Heaven-Opening Mark, which is their greatest asset, so there's not much to worry about.

However, Nuwa, Jieyin, Zhunti did not have the Heaven-Opening Mark.

If they want to escape the Heavenly Dao, their best option is to accumulate a massive amount of Merit to repay this Karma!

Yuanshi Tianzun had obviously thought of this as well. He looked at Taiqing and they exchanged a knowing glance.

I see.

This was Nuwa's true purpose.

Nuwa were not simply a matter of venting her anger; rather, she was using this opportunity to pave the way for her own future!

Nuwa looked at the Two Saints of the West, whose faces were full of resistance, and a cold, mocking expression appeared on her face.

"Since you're unwilling to give it, then there's nothing more to discuss."

"Neither of you are leaving here today!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the attack, which had just eased, became incredibly violent again. She pushed the power of the Creation Cauldron and the Diagram of Mountains and Rivers to their limits!
