Reunion with Nuwa, Parting on Bad Terms

Watching the Nine Golden Crows slowly recover, Xi He felt a surge of resentment alongside her joy.

I should have insisted more strongly back then.

Instead of agreeing to Di Jun's request to send them to the East Sea, all for the sake of that so-called Demon Race Fortune!

Xi He not only resented Di Jun, but also herself.

She should have stood by and opposed it back then; even if she couldn't stop Di Jun, she should have protected them.

Instead of letting his own cultivators remain alone in the East Sea.

"Mother Goddess..."

Lu Ya wanted to offer some advice, but he didn't know how to begin.

He did not want Xi He to continue to resent Di Jun.

Lu Ya knew that Di Jun had his own plans, but he could also sense that Di Jun truly cared for them.

However, Di Jun carried too much on his mind and had too many concerns.

"So be it, Di Jun has already perished, what is there for me to argue about!"

Xi He sighed, ultimately unable to bear putting Lu Ya in a difficult position.

"Xi He, everything is in the past, there's no point in dwelling on it anymore."

The calamity of the Golden Crows was not because of where they were, but because they came from the demon race.

The demon race of yesteryear blocked the interests of far too many people!

The Nine Golden Crows have been resurrected, Cihang does not want Xi He to be still entangled in the past.

"Yes, it's all because of the demon race!"

Xi He murmured something, and the confusion around her disappeared, even her cultivation level improved slightly.

With her inner turmoil resolved, the former Taiyin Star Goddess, the Demon Heavenly Empress, returned once more.

"Now that Cihang has fulfilled his promise, he will no longer disturb you two!"

Xi He and Lu Ya, having been separated for so long, naturally had a lot to say to each other, Cihang also began to consider leaving.

"Thank you very much for your help this time, fellow Daoist."

"Xi He have no way to repay you now, but if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely do my best to repay you!"

Xi He once again made a solemn promise.

"Fellow Daoist, you are too kind. Cihang will take his leave now!"

Instead of continuing to try to shirk responsibility with Xi He, Cihang rode away in a streak of light.

With Cihang's departure, Xi He and Lu Ya finally relaxed.

The knot in her heart that had troubled her for millions of years has been untied. Now, Xi He only wants to protect the little golden crows with all her might, so that they will no longer be disturbed by external calamities.

"Mother Goddess, are you still resentful of Father God?"

Lu Ya cautiously began to ask.

"I don't resent it anymore. He may not have been that devoted to you, but his concern for you was genuine."

The person has already perished, what's the point of arguing?

The key point is that, although the Ten Golden Crows have experienced many twists and turns, they have now all returned to her side.

"The Father God also has his difficulties; it's good that the Mother Goddess can let go."

Now that the Mother Goddess has been resurrected, what are her plans next?

Lu Ya had a thought and asked.

"There's no need for such tricks in front of the Mother Goddess. What exactly do you want to say?"

Seeing the glint in Lu Ya's eyes, Xi He and asked in return.

"Mother Goddess, Lu Ya wants you to regain control of the Mother Goddess race!"

Lu Ya's voice was firm as he looked at Xi He with anticipation.

"Reclaim control of the demon race? Do you also intend to seize the Primordial World destiny?"

"But now that the demon race has fallen, even if they still have some strength left, they have no chance of regaining control of the world!"

Xi He's voice suddenly became urgent.

She didn't want Lu Ya follow in Di Jun's footsteps.

"Mother Goddess has misunderstood; Lu Ya still has some self-awareness."

With both his Father God and uncle perishing in the struggle between heaven and earth, Lu Ya naturally had no more expectations.

Lu Ya wanted to control the demon race, but only in order to have some power to protect himself.

I hope the Mother Goddess can help me!

Although Lu Ya was ambitious, he was still relatively clear-headed.

He wanted to control the demon race because he didn't want to revert to his previous sense of powerlessness, and he also harbored resentment towards Nuwa.

She could have ignored the demon race for a long time, but after the fall of her Father God, she took over the demon race completely.

On what grounds? Just because she's a saint?

Xi He did not speak immediately, but began to weigh the pros and cons.

By this time, she understood Lu Ya's plan.

"Alright, Mother Goddess will help you. Before you advance to Quasi-Saint, she will mention taking back control of the demon race!"

Xi He agreed to Lu Ya.

Given her current situation, she can't simply escape if she wants to.

The moment she was reborn, she had already formed a profound Karma with the demon race.

As for controlling the demon race, she was quite confident.

Although her strength was not as great as Nuwa's, with the foundation left by Di Jun and Tai Yi, she was no weaker than Nuwa.

Moreover, even now, Nuwa is not the true ruler of the demon race, but merely acts as her successor.

"Thank you for your support, Mother Goddess."

"Compared to me, the Mother Goddess is the most suitable to rule the demon race!"

Lu Ya doesn't necessarily need to take control of the demon race to regain its dominance.

He had no objection to whoever controlled the demon race, whether it was Xi He or the other Nine Golden Crows.

"We'll decide later. Right now, we need to see how many demons are still loyal to our lineage!"

Having made up her mind, Xi He was not one to hesitate. She immediately formed hand seals, summoned the demon race, and discussed the future.

Just as Xi He was plotting to seize power among the demon race, Cihang encountered another ruler of the demon race.

"Fellow Daoist Cihang, do you have a grudge against me? You actually awakened Xi He at this time to compete with me for the power of the demon race!"

Nuwa did not hide her dissatisfaction when facing Cihang.

The moment Xi He returned, her prestige among the demons was already affected.

The reason she sought out Cihang first was because she was confident she could suppress Xi He.

Compared to Xi He, she cared more about Cihang's attitude.

"Fellow Daoist, you misunderstand. I assisted Xi He only to understand a Karma and effect!"

Cihang's voice also turned cold; he believed he had done nothing to Nuwa.

Initially, he did have the idea of using Nuwa, but he also offered Nuwa benefits that she couldn't refuse.

He later helped Nuwa on several occasions.

Conversely, Nuwa's help to him was negligible.

"Karma? I have never heard of any Karma between you and the demon race."

Xi He is an ancient Demon Empress, and her fate is related to the changes in the Demon Race Fortune. Shouldn't you consult with me before doing these things, fellow Daoist?"

Nuwa did not completely believe Cihang's words; on the contrary, she felt that Cihang was expressing dissatisfaction with her.

"I don't need to explain to my fellow Daoists how I act."

As for the consequences of this matter, Cihang can naturally bear them all, so there's no need for you to worry about it.

If there's nothing else, Cihang won't stay here any longer!

Cihang didn't wait for Nuwa's reply and turned to leave.

Previously, he had to be extremely careful when facing a sage.

But now, he no longer wanted to endure it.

He believed that his actions had done nothing wrong to anyone, and he didn't care if they infringed on the interests of others.

Nuwa was dissatisfied with him? He had also been dissatisfied with Nuwa for a long time.

"Cihang..."

As Cihang watched Cihang's departing figure, Nuwa expression changed continuously.

She admitted that she had indeed become somewhat impulsive because she had been unable to take things any further for so long.

But Cihang's actions undoubtedly showed a complete disregard for her.
