"Rise!"
A sharp shout rang out, accompanied by the whistling sound of vines tearing through the air!
In an instant, the world seemed to hold its breath.
The vines, covered in a thin layer of Divine Mud, swept across the sky. With each swing, countless shimmering mud droplets were swept up by the immense power, like billions of brilliant stars, or a rain of life, pouring down onto the vast beach!
Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff...
The sound of mud hitting the ground was as dense as drumbeats, or like spring rain nourishing the parched earth.
Wherever a speck of mud landed, a soft and bright milky-white halo instantly rose up! Within the halo, the soil rapidly condensed, shaped, and rose, and in the blink of an eye, one after another complete "person" that was exactly the same as before appeared on the beach!
No longer are they exquisite creations held in the palm of one's hand, but life as tenacious as wild grass and as dense as stars!
Naked bodies, bathed in the faint glow of newly formed earth, carrying the bewilderment and wonder of newcomers to the world, they rose up silently and densely like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
One, ten, a hundred... a thousand... ten thousand... a hundred thousand! This torrent of life spreads out at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye!
The vast Eastern Sea of the East China Sea was filled with countless newborns standing quietly, radiating the pure breath of life, in just a few breaths!
They stood silently, like new recruits awaiting inspection, or like a breathing forest growing from the earth itself.
That gathered, boundless vitality, originating from Creation, pure and vast, converged into an invisible giant wave that soared straight into the sky!
Ten thousand... thirty thousand... seventy thousand... With each swing of the divine vine, it stirred up the winds and clouds, whipping up a vast storm of life.
When Nuwa used all her divine power and will to unleash the divine vine for the last time, and flung out that last speck of mud filled with the Pure Light of Creation, an extremely profound number instantly came to her mind—129,600!
A single dollar!
The last drop of mud landed, the last milky white halo rose, and the last "person" stood tall on the shore of the Eastern Sea.
At the very moment when these 129,600 beings were born simultaneously, symbolizing the complete achievement of the perfect number of heaven and earth!
Rumble--!!!
Without warning, a tremendous, indescribable tremor, tearing apart the ancient silence of the primordial Primordial Wilderness, resounded from the Above the Nine Heavens!
This tremor did not originate from the earth, but from the very core of the Primordial World, a roar that shook even the endless Chaos Barrier surrounding the Primordial Wilderness!
The sky instantly lost its original color, like an overturned dye vat, and countless indescribable auspicious rays of Auspicious Qi burst forth from the void! Purple aura, like dragons, stretched across the east, west, north, and south; golden rays, like ribbons, permeated the six directions and eight wastelands.
Furthermore, there were also phantom images of blue lotuses, radiant white hairs, crimson clouds... all sorts of Great Dao appeared out of thin air, their existence and demise uncertain, painting the entire Primordial Wilderness sky into a bizarre, divine, and breathtakingly beautiful picture!
An irresistible, supreme, and overwhelming will, like a giant god who has been sleeping for eternity opening its eyes, instantly pierced through the barriers of time and space, descending with crystal clarity upon the shores of the Eastern Sea, firmly locking onto the figure that stood alone before the 129,600 newly born humans— Nuwa!
Heaven and earth trembled in unison, and all paths resonated in harmony!
Throughout the entire Primordial World, every living being, whether powerful as the Ancestor Dragon Yuanfeng Primordial Phoenix or as insignificant as an ant or a mayfly, felt, at this moment, an indescribable tremor and pressure originating from the very source of the world deep within their souls! Countless ancient beings in seclusion were forcibly awakened and looked eastward in horror.
Nuwa stood at the center of this dramatic change in the world, bearing the gaze of that supreme will. Her heart was no longer confused, but only filled with a natural enlightenment and an unprecedented clarity.
She stepped barefoot into the void, standing above billions of humans, her simple dress fluttering in the surging Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth and Auspicious Qi glow of heaven and earth.
She looked up, gazing into the depths of the heavens where endless wonders churned and the very essence of the Great Dao manifested. Her clear and solemn voice, like the divine sound of Heaven-Opening, resonated distinctly in the hearts of every Primordial Wilderness being.
"Heavenly Dao's will prevails!"
The moment those four words were uttered, the surging auspicious clouds froze, and the rushing spiritual energy held its breath. The entire Primordial Wilderness seemed to have been muted, leaving only the voice, imbued with supreme will, echoing.
"I am Nuwa!"
"Today, I feel that heaven and earth are incomplete, all things are flawed, and the Great Dao is imperfect! Therefore, Creation a new race, whose bodies are in harmony with the wonders of the Innate Dao Body, and whose spirits are in accord with the mechanisms of Yin-Yang Five Elements!"
This race, endowed with the benevolence of Heaven and Earth and the virtue of Creation, is named—Human!
"Humans, rise!"
May Heavenly Dao bear witness!
The final declaration, "Humanity rises," was like igniting a furnace that had long been brimming with Universe.
Above the Nine Heavens Nuwa's words had even finished, a golden torrent, whose color was indescribable and whose vastness was immeasurable, suddenly pierced through the barriers of time and space and crashed down from the heavens, which were painted with endless Auspicious Qi light like a divine kingdom!
That is the purest, most primordial, and most powerful Xuanhuang Qi, symbolizing the supreme Merit of the Primordial World!
Its brilliance was so dazzling that all other strange phenomena in the sky paled in comparison, as if only this pure and ultimate golden light remained in the entire Primordial Wilderness!
It was like the Milky Way flowing backwards, or the golden sun falling to earth, carrying the great power, the great holiness, and the great perfection that cleanses everything and brings about supreme enlightenment, pouring down towards the shores of the Eastern Sea, towards Nuwa and the 129,600 newly born humans behind her!
The golden torrent first completely engulfed Nuwa. Bathed in this boundless and profound Xuanhuang Merit, Nuwa's divine body, primordial spirit, and even the Great Dao of Creation she cultivated underwent a fundamental transformation and leap!
An aura that transcends all things in the Primordial Wilderness world, resonates with the Dao of Heavenly Dao, and is nearly eternal and immortal erupts within her like a dormant volcano!
She radiated a light a billion times brighter than the Solar Star, so divine that it was impossible to look directly at her!
When the 129,600 humans, symbolizing the perfect number of heaven and earth, were born simultaneously, Nuwa proclaimed "Humanity is established," the Primordial Earth seemed to be put on pause, and all living beings fell into a brief state of stillness.
The Three Pure Ones, each in their respective Dao Field, were comprehending the Great Dao when this sudden change startled them awake.
The Taiji Diagram in Taiqing Laozi's hand trembled slightly, and a look of shock appeared on his face; "Yuanshi, can you feel it?"
His voice was low, tinged with a barely perceptible panic. Yuanshi gripped the Jade Ruyi in the Jade Void Palace tightly, his brows furrowed, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"This... how is this possible? Nuwa actually became a saint before us?"
He pondered to himself, having spent many years in seclusion, diligently cultivating and single-mindedly hoping to become a saint as soon as possible, only to have Nuwa beat Nuwa to it. How could he accept this?
Tongtian emerged from his seclusion, gazing towards the Eastern Sea with a complex expression, a mixture of admiration for Nuwa and a hint of resentment.
Recalling his interactions with Nuwa, he realized that although Nuwa was gentle in nature, her strength and wisdom were always unfathomable.
Now that she has become a saint, while I am still struggling on the path to sainthood, I feel a mix of emotions.
