A Change in Attitude, an Imperfect World
Facing Nuwa once again, Cihang's heart was filled with complex emotions.
Among the Six Saints, Cihang had the most interactions with Nuwa.
At their first meeting, Cihang had ulterior motives, but he also genuinely wanted to befriend Nuwa.
Although he had selfish motives when Nuwa attained enlightenment, his help to Nuwa was genuine.
The Merit of Human Creation was not the merit bestowed upon Nuwa.
Because of his involvement, the origin of humanity is stronger than in its original trajectory.
Those merits were all deserved by him, and Nuwa suffered no loss whatsoever.
While revealing Human Dao information may have had its own motives, its help to Nuwa was also genuine.
In the series of interactions, Nuwa did not suffer any losses.
Perhaps it was because he helped Nuwa so much that Nuwa felt the pressure!
Cihang could sense Nuwa's wariness and fear of him.
He also took the opportunity to gradually downplay his connection with Nuwa.
The Karma of the Primordial World cannot be simply divided into E Lai.
Just like the Two Sages of the West and Hong Yun, and him and Nuwa.
If things continue like this, Cihang's outcome may not be much better than Hong Yun's.
After realizing the truth, Cihang's attitude towards Nuwa also changed dramatically.
The two no longer talked about friendship, only about dividing up profits.
Under these circumstances, Nuwa actually felt a bit more at ease.
Seeing that Nuwa didn't forcefully help Di Jun or intend to seize the spiritual treasure, Cihang breathed a sigh of relief.
He was unwilling to antagonize Nuwa unless absolutely necessary.
"Your Ladyship, these are all spiritual fruits unique to our Glass Realm. I hope Your Ladyship will not find them lacking!"
Leaving aside the previous topic, Cihang took out a variety of spiritual fruits to entertain Nuwa, his politeness tinged with a hint of distance and respect.
"Fellow Daoist is too modest. Both this Glass Realm and these spiritual fruits are the best in the Primordial World."
Even the Empress Wa's Palace is only comparable to it.
Nuwa's attitude changed drastically this time, as if she had returned to the time before she attained enlightenment, and she was very close to Cihang.
Nuwa's feelings towards Cihang were indeed very complex.
It wasn't that she was ungrateful; rather, after attaining enlightenment, she had already entered another level.
Although Cihang was powerful, in the eyes of a sage, she was nothing more than an ant.
People of different social standing and status cannot truly be equals in their interactions.
Perhaps this is the aloofness that belongs to a saint!
But this time when they met again, Nuwa regretted her previous attitude.
As a sage, Nuwa understood this world better than other cultivators.
They naturally understood that, apart from the Six Saints of the Heavenly Dao, no one else could attain enlightenment and transcendence.
No matter how profound her background, how great her wisdom and scheming, Cihang could not escape the status of an ant.
When necessary, she will protect Cihang and repay past Karma debts.
But the moment she broke through, she and Cihang were already from two different worlds.
But all of this made Nuwa suspicious.
Others might not be able to do it, but Cihang might be able to as well.
The Glass Realm has already advanced, and Cihang has reached the late stage of the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal. Even the Path of Three Corpses has surpassed all Quasi-Saints.
And there were also the times he profited from his interactions with the sage.
Such a Cihang is truly simple.
Perhaps she really was wrong.
They were able to know about their own enlightenment even before she did, and they also possessed some primordial inheritance.
Such Cihang is anything but simple.
"Your Ladyship flatters me."
Cihang was polite, but always maintained a sense of distance.
Cihang sensed the change in Nuwa's attitude, but he didn't think much of it.
He also has no intention of changing his attitude towards Nuwa.
Nuwa changed because she saw her own future and potential.
In reality, Nuwa never changed.
Cihang will not refuse Nuwa's kindness, and will continue to cooperate with Nuwa if given the opportunity, but he will not develop a close relationship with Nuwa.
Throughout her conversation with Nuwa, Cihang maintained a respectful yet distant attitude.
Nuwa did indeed intend to repair her relationship with Cihang at the beginning.
But after seeing Cihang's attitude, Nuwa gradually let go of the matter.
Some things, once done, offer no chance for regret.
Fortunately, she did not scheme against Cihang or take action against Cihang because of her arrogance and the jealousy that she herself did not even realize.
Although the two could not become close friends, they still maintained a superficial relationship.
Nuwa gradually regained her former composure.
Nuwa felt a little regretful about not being able to restore her relationship with Cihang, but she wasn't too upset.
Regardless, she is Heavenly Dao Sage, one of the strongest beings in the Primordial World today.
With Cihang's help, her future spiritual practice may be smoother.
Even without it, there isn't actually a huge difference.
Although she acknowledged Cihang's potential and future, she never believed that she was inferior to Cihang.
As for the help Cihang gave her before, with her abilities, she will eventually have the opportunity to repay it.
Because of the change in mindset, the two became more distant and polite towards each other.
Until Nuwa left.
Cihang saw through Nuwa's opportunistic nature and felt no disappointment about their current relationship.
Perhaps the only person Nuwa truly cared about was Fuxi!
After Nuwa left, Cihang once again entered into meditation to comprehend the changes in the laws of heaven and earth after the advancement of the Glass Realm.
Perhaps having received a warning from Nuwa, Di Jun and Tai Yi did not visit again.
Perhaps they have truly given up on the Ziwei Divine Seal.
Cihang was not in a hurry to help Xingchen Chuanshi.
This is not the most suitable time.
Moreover, Cihang has other plans regarding the true spirit of the Star Demon God.
Since the Star Demon God have entrusted their true spirit to the Ziwei Divine Seal, they clearly intend to rebuild the Way of Stars.
But Cihang was also very clear that after the Lich King was rid of the demon, Ziwei Star would reappear in the Primordial World.
Yet all authority over heaven and earth belongs to the Heavenly Court, including the endless starry sky.
It is foreseeable that even if Ziwei resumes her cultivation, her path will not be smooth.
Leaving aside the Great Dao's past achievements, even becoming a Quasi-Saint would be extremely difficult.
In contrast, while the Glass Realm is not yet perfect, it does not have as many restrictions.
Letting the Star Demon God rebuild their cultivation in the Glass Realm might be a good option.
Moreover, the reconstruction of the stars can accelerate the perfection of the laws of the Glass Realm.
However, the identity of the Star Demon God is a problem; Cihang cannot be 100% certain that he is harmless.
These things will have to wait a while; there's no rush.
The current Glass Realm is still incomplete. Because the Netherworld is incomplete, the world cannot give rise to true spirits, nor can it achieve the cycle of reincarnation of all spirits.
The beings in the current Glass Realm are all transplanted from the Primordial World.
Even the plants and trees here are like that.
If it weren't for Cihang's blessing of creation laws, the Glass Realm wouldn't even be able to produce a single blade of grass or tree.
Only Netherworld is perfected can the Glass Realm achieve true ecological balance.
In fact, this wasn't just the case in the Glass Realm; it was the same in the Primordial World before.
Before Houtu transformed into the cycle of reincarnation, all living beings in the Primordial World were formed from the essence of their predecessors after their deaths, consuming the world's origin.
Without a complete cycle of reincarnation, even the Primordial World would gradually decline as it developed.
Not to mention the Glass Realm.
Before the Netherworld Reincarnation is perfected, Cihang will not vigorously develop the Glass Realm.
The most urgent task now is to increase our strength, kill the Death Demon God as soon as possible, and balance the origin of the Glass Realm.
