What was going on?
"Empress Nuwa, you may not know this, but the relationship between the human race and the Witch Clan is still fairly good right now..."
Luo Xuan gave a rough account of how the human race had been refining pills for the Witch Clan, vaguely mentioning the recent battle between the Witch Clan and the Demon Race as well.
Nuwa listened quietly. After a long silence, she sighed and said, "The human race's ability to receive the Witch Clan's help is their opportunity. I won't interfere in this matter."
With that, Nuwa's figure slowly faded away in the air.
It was not until Nuwa had left that the Three Ancestors came back to their senses. "The Holy Mother isn't going to interfere?"
Luo Xuan smiled. "Ancestor, I told you Empress Nuwa wouldn't blame us."
"Luo Xuan, you really are far-sighted."
The Three Ancestors gazed deeply at Luo Xuan. The huge weight in their hearts had finally been lifted.
Seeing that the Three Ancestors had put aside their misgivings, Luo Xuan called for Hou Yi.
"Big Brother Hou Yi, we'll still have to trouble the Witch Clan from here on out. After the Demon Race's defeat, they'll certainly target the human race."
Demon Emperor Di Jun possessed the River Diagram and Luo Script, a companion spirit treasure capable of calculating everything in the Primordial World except for the Saints.
"That's right. The Demon Race has always regarded us as food. If they learn how greatly the human race's pills have benefited the Witch Clan, they definitely won't let us off."
Suiren Shi hurriedly cut in.
Upon hearing this, Hou Yi thumped his chest and said, "Don't worry, Brother Luo. I'll tell the Ancestor Sorcerers when I return."
"With our Witch Clan warriors here, even Di Jun won't be able to take a single step into Shouyang Mountain!"
Elsewhere, Nuwa opened her eyes, her chest rising and falling repeatedly.
Fuxi looked at Nuwa with concern. "Little Sister, what's wrong?"
Nuwa shook her head. "Nothing. It's just about the human race."
Fuxi was surprised. "The human race? What happened to them?"
Nuwa was just about to speak when her eyes suddenly shifted.
The next moment, Di Jun's voice rang out from outside. "Fellow Daoists Fuxi and Nuwa, are you there?"
Nuwa let out a cold snort. "I haven't even gone looking for them, yet they've come knocking on my door."
Seeing Nuwa's angry expression, Fuxi was somewhat confused, but he still undid the restriction outside the cave dwelling.
Before long, Di Jun entered with an expressionless face.
Bai Ze and the others followed behind him.
Seeing Nuwa's indifferent attitude, a trace of displeasure rose in Di Jun's heart.
Still, he forced a smile onto his face and said, "Fellow Daoists, it's been a long time since we saw each other after leaving the Heavenly Court."
"It's rather embarrassing to say, but my sister and I have been cultivating in seclusion at our Daoist temple."
Seeing that Nuwa looked unwilling to speak, Fuxi cupped his hands and asked, "May I ask why Fellow Daoist Di Jun has come today?"
Di Jun narrowed his eyes. "It's nothing much. Not long ago, our Demon Race fought the Witch Clan, and half of the Heavenly Court's elite forces were lost."
"The Witch Clan's casualties were less than a tenth."
Fuxi was startled. "What? How could the difference be so great?"
Di Jun glanced at Nuwa and said in a low voice, "Naturally, it's because the human race has been refining pills for the Witch Clan."
"What?" Fuxi instinctively looked at Nuwa.
He suddenly realized that something was off about the atmosphere.
Nuwa gave a cold laugh. "Fellow Daoist Di Jun makes it sound so simple."
"I haven't even asked you about it yet. What did I tell you back then? Why did the Demon Race not only fail to restrain themselves from devouring the human race, but become even more ruthless?"
Di Jun's expression froze slightly.
Damn it, how did Nuwa find out about this?
Only after a moment did Di Jun remember that this time, he was the one who had come to question Nuwa.
He said angrily, "Regardless, the human race cannot refine pills for the Witch Clan!"
"Empress Wa, they were created by you!"
Nuwa laughed in exasperation. "You know they were created by me? I won't interfere in this matter. Handle it yourself."
Fury blazed in Di Jun's eyes. He said coldly, "Nuwa, you're going to oppose me over a mere human race?"
"Don't forget, you're the Demon Emperor of the Heavenly Court!"
Nuwa turned her head away and said coldly, "See yourself out!"
Di Jun's face instantly darkened. With an angry snort, he flicked his sleeve and left.
After leaving, Di Jun's expression shifted unpredictably.
"The human race..."
Nuwa's attitude caused Di Jun to develop a deep hatred for the human race.
Letting the Heavenly Court Change Its Demon Emperor
After Di Jun left, Fuxi stared blankly at Nuwa.
"Little Sister, was what Di Jun just said true?"
He still had yet to recover from the shock.
When had the human race become so powerful?
Nuwa bit her lower lip lightly and said, "Big Brother, judging from Di Jun's expression, I'm afraid he intends to cause trouble for the human race."
Fuxi nodded and pondered. "Many of the Heavenly Court's elites were lost because of the human race. Di Jun probably won't let this go."
"Big Brother, what should we do?" Nuwa's eyes flickered.
On one side was the human race she had created, almost like her children.
On the other was the Demon Race, and she was its Demon Emperor...
For a moment, Nuwa found herself caught in a dilemma.
Since Nuwa had become a Saint, this was the first time Fuxi had seen her wear such a troubled expression.
Fuxi sighed. "It's a pity that we've stayed in Phoenix Perch Mountain all this time. Otherwise, things wouldn't have reached this point."
Back then, when the siblings had returned to Phoenix Perch Mountain, Di Jun and the others had not tried very hard to stop them.
How could Fuxi not know that they had been wary of Nuwa's status as a Saint?
The Heavenly Court was now essentially controlled by Di Jun and Tai Yi.
Seeing Nuwa's brows furrow even more tightly, Fuxi's eyes turned.
"Little Sister, you really don't need to worry so much about this matter."
Nuwa raised her brows. "You know the human race's situation as well. If I don't intervene, who knows what will happen to them?"
Fuxi smiled. "Little Sister, have you forgotten Luo Xuan?"
"Luo Xuan?" Nuwa was slightly stunned, and Luo Xuan's appearance from earlier surfaced in her mind.
Fuxi continued, "That boy is now Laozi's disciple."
"The Three Pure Ones can't possibly stand by and do nothing."
Nuwa's eyes lit up.
That's right! How did I almost forget about the Three Pure Ones?
Apart from her, the Saint, the Three Pure Ones were currently the strongest existences in the Primordial World.
They were mighty figures so powerful that even the entire Primordial World would tremble when they stamped their feet. Anyone who met them had to show them some respect.
Seeing Nuwa turn from worried to delighted, Fuxi's heart relaxed. He continued with a smile.
"Besides the Three Pure Ones, there's also the Witch Clan."
"The Witch Clan is so powerful now precisely because of the human race's pills, isn't it?"
"In the eyes of the Witch Clan, the human race is probably a precious treasure now. Would they really sit by and watch the Demon Race cause trouble for them?"
"Considering the conflict between the Witch Clan and the Demon Race, they'll probably start fighting before they even reach the human race."
Fuxi's words carried a hint of schadenfreude.
After all, because of Di Jun and Tai Yi, the siblings' positions as Demon Emperors had long since existed in name only.
Besides, who told Di Jun to act so fiercely toward his little sister just now?
"Big Brother is right." Seeing Fuxi's expression, Nuwa gave a soft laugh, and her mood improved greatly.
However, she still looked toward the direction of the human race.
Seeing this, Fuxi chuckled. "You're still worried?"
After a moment of silence, Nuwa nodded. "If the Demon Race really intends to harm the human race, I'll lend them a hand."
Looking at Nuwa's protective expression, Fuxi could only smile helplessly.
Kunlun Mountain.
Yuanshi frowned as he looked toward Shouyang Mountain. "It would have been fine if they had only refined a few pills for Hou Yi. But why did they have the human race of Shouyang Mountain refine pills for the Witch Clan?"
The battle between the Witch Clan and the Demon Race concerned the calamity force of the Primordial World, so the Three Pure Ones and the others naturally paid attention to it.
What they saw gave them quite a shock.
The Witch Clan and the Demon Race were both major races of the Primordial World. How had the gap between them become so enormous?
Looking closer, they realized something even more astonishing.
For the past five hundred years, the human race had actually been helping the Witch Clan refine pills the entire time.
Tongtian glanced at Yuanshi and said, "Second Brother, are you dissatisfied?"
