Nuwa Invites Them to Discuss the Tribulation
Although they were both demons, Di Jun and Nuwa were never very close.
After Nuwa attained enlightenment, Di Jun became somewhat closer to Nuwa because he relied on Nuwa in many ways.
However, after discovering Nuwa's intentions, Di Jun deliberately distanced himself from Nuwa.
Nuwa naturally sensed this as well.
She was very confident in her own strength. Even if Di Jun was on guard, so what? He was only a quasi-saint after all.
However, it won't be so easy for her to seize control of the demon race.
After all, the demon race was established by Di Jun. Although she was the Demon Empress Wa, she was more of a nominal ruler.
Because of the distance and estrangement between them, Nuwa was somewhat surprised by Di Jun's visit.
"Greetings, Empress Nuwa!"
Despite his resentment towards Nuwa, Di Jun was still very respectful when he actually faced Nuwa.
As long as he fails to attain enlightenment, he cannot offend Nuwa.
"Fellow Di Jun, you're too kind. There's no need for such formalities."
"The demon race is busy with affairs, fellow Daoist, your sudden visit, is there something you wish to do?"
Nuwa didn't bother with formalities with Di Jun and directly asked Di Jun the purpose of his visit.
"Di Jun has indeed come here with a request."
This matter concerns the future of the demon race; I hope Your Ladyship will agree."
Di Jun also directly stated the discovery of the demon race and his intention to take action against the human race, preparing for the upcoming war between the lich and demon races.
Despite Hongjun's intervention, which prevented the Lich and Demon races from waging war for millions of years, all cultivators knew that a war between the Lich and Demon races was inevitable.
The battle will eventually come to a conclusion.
"The human race is the one I created, the foundation of my sainthood. The demon race must never harm the human race!"
Nuwa's face was no longer calm; she looked coldly at Di Jun.
The moment Di Jun, Nuwa was certain that what he said was true.
This also reminded her of the future she glimpsed during her enlightenment.
That was the real reason why the human and demon races were locked in a life-or-death struggle.
Although the demon race is powerful now, Nuwa knows the future potential of the human race, and she will never abandon them.
"Your Ladyship is the Empress Wa of the demon race. Doesn't she consider the well-being of the demon race?"
You must understand that the demon race is now the true overlord of the world.
"Humans may have great potential, but they are ultimately no match for the demon race!"
Di Jun was not surprised by Nuwa's rejection, but how could he give up so easily?
"Needless to say, I will not give up on either the human race or the demon race, nor will I watch the two races fight each other."
Since you know the potential of the human race, why don't you befriend them now?
"As long as we can form an alliance with the human race, the Witch Race is nothing to worry about!"
Nuwa also began to persuade Di Jun.
"Form an alliance with the human race? I've never tried that."
But Your Ladyship should also know the current situation of the human race. Compared to the demon race, the human race is clearly closer to the Witch Race!
Furthermore, with the Dao Ancestor's prohibition in place, our demon race's strength in the Primordial World has been greatly diminished, making us utterly unable to compete with the demon race!
Di Jun did attempt to make that human a vassal, but it ended before it even began.
"Please rest assured, Your Ladyship, although I will take action against the human race, I will not exterminate them."
I simply want to refine a divine weapon using the essence of human blood, in preparation for the future war between the Lich King and the Demon King.
"Given the human race's reproduction rate, it won't take long for them to recover, and it won't affect the human race's development!"
Di Jun did indeed intend to exterminate the human race, but he knew that Nuwa would not agree.
They then opted for a less desirable option: to seize this opportunity and suppress the human race with all their might.
Once the Witch Race is destroyed, no matter how strong the human race's potential is, it will be unable to shake the demon race's position.
Nuwa was clearly still very unwilling.
However, after Di Jun promised to give up some of the power of the demon race, Nuwa reluctantly agreed.
She did indeed know the future development of the world.
But as she said, she could not give up on either the human race or the demon race.
On the contrary, the Witch Race is an obstacle to her future attainment of the path of all beings.
The course of Heaven is difficult to change, but it is not a situation that cannot be influenced.
To break through existing constraints, one must always take a risk.
Otherwise, she would never be able to escape the will of Heaven.
Moreover, the human race also faces its own tribulations if it wants to truly rise to power.
Undoubtedly, this is a calamity and test for the human race.
With Nuwa present, the foundation of the human race can be guaranteed to remain intact.
After receiving Nuwa's permission, Di Jun happily returned to the Heavenly Court to begin preparations.
Nuwa also took action, sending her attendants to the Primordial World to invite Taiqing and Cihang.
Although she Holy Mother of the Human Race, she still couldn't completely control the future of humankind.
To achieve this, the consent of Taiqing and Cihang is required.
Especially Taiqing.
Thinking of this, Nuwa couldn't help but feel a surge of resentment.
If it weren't for the Taiqing, there would be no need for such trouble.
She could even completely control the human race, making them join forces with the demon race to suppress the Witch Race.
At the Glazed Grotto-Heaven on Mount Luojia, Cihang seemed to be deep in thought after receiving Nuwa's invitation.
After rejecting Nuwa last time, he was able to notice the change in Nuwa's attitude.
Nuwa may have valued him, but she was more wary of him.
Unless something major happens, based on his understanding of Nuwa, she wouldn't easily invite him.
By further analyzing the current development of the Primordial World, Cihang also made some predictions about Nuwa's invitation.
"Could it be that Nuwa intends to slaughter the human race like the demon race did this time?"
Regardless of Nuwa's choice, Cihang cannot avoid her presence.
However, after making some guesses, Cihang still made some arrangements before setting off for the Chaos Empress Wa's Palace.
Because of the delay, Cihang and Taiqing entered Empress Wa's Palace almost simultaneously.
Looking at Taiqing who had come with her, Cihang became even more certain of her suspicions.
At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
To Nuwa, the human race was indeed merely a pawn and a tool.
Although she Holy Mother of the Human Race, she lacked the heart of a loving mother.
She favors the human race because they can bring her benefits.
Nuwa could abandon the human race at any time if there were greater benefits.
Suppressing the myriad thoughts in her heart, Cihang respectfully bowed to Nuwa and Taiqing.
"Nearly a million years have passed since the emergence of the human race, and the human race has begun to spread throughout the Primordial World."
However, if humanity wants to truly establish itself in the Primordial World, it still needs to undergo certain tests.
Through my contemplation of the Heavenly Dao, I have discovered that a calamity is about to befall humanity.
The reason I invited you two fellow Daoists here today is to take the initiative in controlling this calamity.
This test is even more severe, and humanity will unleash even greater potential.
What do you two think?
As Nuwa finished speaking, the secrets of heaven instantly became clear.
Cihang and Taiqing felt the same way at the same time, as if they were witnessing the wailing of countless humans.
And the cause of all this is undoubtedly the demon race.
Nuwa was right; for the human race to truly grow, there will naturally be countless trials and tribulations.
After overcoming the initial survival difficulties, the human race will face one test after another.
Only by overcoming countless hardships and obstacles can humanity truly unite as the protagonist of heaven and earth.
