Background
Nuwa is an Innate Divine Being born from Innate Yin Qi and the younger sister of Fuxi, who was formed from Innate Yang Qi. She cultivated in seclusion at Buzhou Mountain, seeking the peak of the Great Principle Golden Immortal realm, when Shen Lang selected her as the Myriad Worlds Simulator’s first SSS-ranked player 2.
The simulator forcibly drew her consciousness into the Great Desolation World, where her divine soul and spiritual power were suppressed. Rather than entering in her true body, she possessed the consciousness of a severely damaged ancient willow tree 3 4. Her first simulation ended after 1,238 years when an unknown Primordial Unity Golden Immortal attacked across space and destroyed both her willow body and newly condensed Primordial Spirit 8.
After waiting eleven thousand years for another opportunity, Nuwa entered the Great Desolation World again with preparation and experience. She developed the Heavenly Concealment Technique to obscure herself and the thunder marks from their Immortal King owners, allowing her to cultivate without immediately drawing their attention 24 27.
Appearance
Nuwa normally appears as a peerlessly beautiful woman in green robes. In the Great Desolation World, her simulated body is an enormous willow tree whose branches can cover Stone Village; after transforming, a willow-tree Dharma form manifests behind her 108.
- Her simulated Primordial Spirit takes the form of a small azure-green willow tree 8.
- Her original willow form bears golden and blue lightning-scorched bark left by Immortal King attacks 27 108.
- Her humanoid transformation is described as a green-clad figure with slender, jade-like fingers 108.
- Stone Village reveres her under the title Willow God 28 110.
Personality
Nuwa is proud, independent, and unwilling to bind herself to another power for short-term gain. Although Di Jun offered her the title of Empress Wa and one-third of the Demon Race’s destiny, she refused to join the Demon Court alongside Fuxi 11.
Her response to adversity is analytical rather than passive. Following her first simulated death, she treats future simulations as genuine lives to be experienced, develops methods suited to foreign worlds, and pursues unanswered questions rather than accepting incomplete understanding 10 24.
Despite her aloof bearing, Nuwa is compassionate toward those she accepts under her protection. She shelters Stone Village without taking its offerings, heals Shi Hao as an infant, seeks his consent before using his body in cultivation experiments, and later acknowledges him as her disciple 28 29 88 113. Her talent, Love and Dedication, is reflected in her mercy toward the Vermilion Bird and her growing attachment to Shi Hao 92 114.
Abilities & Skills
Creation Rules and Human Dao
Nuwa’s central Dao is creation. Her long study of humans and repeated clay-doll experiments allow her Law of Creation to transform into Creation Rules.
- Creates six thousand humans—three thousand male and three thousand female—from Innate Breathing Soil, her blood, and the Innate Gourd Vine 141.
- Grants the newly created humans life and intelligence through the Law of Creation and the awakening Human Dao 141.
- Proves her Dao as a Primal Grand Unity Golden Immortal and becomes the controller of Creation Rules 141.
- Merges with the Human Dao, becoming its Lord and able to mobilize a portion of the Primordial World’s will 142 149.
- Publicly declares herself the Holy Mother of the Human Race and vows to protect humanity for ten thousand years 149.
Human Body Secret Realm Cultivation
Nuwa concludes that humans cannot reach their full potential by merely imitating the Treasure Techniques of other races. She studies Shi Hao to establish a cultivation path centered on the human body itself 87 88.
- Identifies the Wheel of Life, Five Gods, and Sky Support secret realms through repeated cultivation and abolition of Shi Hao’s cultivation 89.
- Establishes the named sequence of Life Wheel, Five Gods, Sky Support, Heaven Ascension, and Purple Mansion; later continues developing the sixth and seventh secret realms 93 108 112.
- Uses the Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Art as a framework allowing humans to wield external techniques without making them the foundation of cultivation 92 93.
- Improves the secret-realm method for compatibility with the Primordial World and bestows it upon the humans she creates 149.
- Cannot fully complete the path beyond the seventh secret realm because advancement above Grand Unity Golden Immortal depends more heavily on Laws than the physical body 114.
Heavenly Concealment Technique
Nuwa creates Heavenly Concealment during her second Great Desolation simulation to evade the Immortal Kings responsible for the lightning marks on her willow body.
- Obscures Nuwa and the thunder marks from heavenly secrets, preventing their owners from sensing her condition 24.
- Allows her to cultivate freely despite the lingering marks remaining physically present 27.
- Conceals her presence even from Immortal King-level beings after she leaves Stone Village 111.
Willow Body and Treasure Techniques
As the Willow God, Nuwa channels overwhelming power through her willow body, branches, and inherited Great Desolation techniques.
- Uses willow branches to defend against heavenly lightning and to destroy enemies across vast differences in realm 4 92.
- Defeats three Venerable-realm Fierce Beasts with three branches and spares the Vermilion Bird after erasing its memories 92.
- Destroys Immortal King Tai Shi’s avatar, then kills Tai Shi, Ao Sheng, and Yuan Chu after reaching the Immortal King realm 108 109 110.
- Slays eighteen Foreign Domain Immortal King titans while protecting Shi Hao’s breakthrough 113 114.
- Masters the Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Art and numerous Treasure Techniques, including the Nine-Leaf Grass sword art 92 109.
Deduction and Temporal Insight
Nuwa can observe, deduce, and perform limited temporal techniques, though these abilities have clear restrictions.
- Studies the bodies, souls, and cultivation methods of Stone Village’s inhabitants in detail 87.
- Uses simple temporal rewind techniques to inspect residual auras 150.
- Cannot rewind the history of the mysterious green-robed figure due to the gap in power between them 150.
- Refuses to interfere with Shi Hao’s later battle against the red-haired monster because altering the established River of Time could destabilize the future 226.
Equipment / Weapons / Items
- Innate Gourd Vine — Given by Fuxi and used to divide the creation material into six thousand human forms 140 141.
- Innate Breathing Soil — Combined with Nuwa’s Primal Golden Immortal blood to create humanity 140 141.
- Heart of Creation Rules — Special simulator reward obtained after defeating the Corpse Immortal Emperor; it later merges into Nuwa and helps transform her Law of Creation into Creation Rules 115 141.
- Tai Shi Heavenly Halberd — Immortal King Tai Shi’s artifact, seized by Nuwa and used against Yuan Chu 109.
- White Bone and bone box — Ancient Stone Village items fused by Nuwa to preserve and access multiple Treasure Techniques 92.
Relationships
- Fuxi — Her elder brother and closest family member. The siblings support one another, discuss the Dao, and Fuxi provides the Innate Gourd Vine and Innate Breathing Soil used in the creation of humanity 11 140.
- Shen Lang — The Myriad Worlds Simulator’s host who selects Nuwa as his first player. He later rescues her from Hongjun’s suppression, though Nuwa initially knows him only as a mysterious green-robed figure 2 142 148.
- Shi Hao — Her ward, experimental partner, and disciple. Nuwa heals him as an infant, develops the Human Body Secret Realm path through him, protects him through multiple crises, and entrusts him with the seventh secret realm method 29 88 112 113.
- Houtu — Fellow Dao Master of the Three Daos. Nuwa and Houtu feel an innate closeness through their respective authority over the Human Dao and Earthly Dao 191.
- North Sea Black Tortoise — Her steed. It accepts her protection after recognizing her Primal Grand Unity Golden Immortal cultivation 149.
- Lord of the Forbidden Zone — A former comrade of the original Ancestor Spirit Guardian. He assists Nuwa against Immortal Kings, but Nuwa emphasizes that she is not the former willow being he knew 109 110.
- Hongjun — Her principal enemy after he attacks her during her Dao Integration with the Human Dao. Nuwa regards the Heavenly Dao’s loss during this conflict as the death of a brother and seeks revenge 142 148.
- Di Jun and Tai Yi — Demon Court rulers whose recruitment offers Nuwa rejects. Tai Yi’s manner toward her makes her uncomfortable, while Di Jun resents her refusal 11.
Story Role / Major Arcs
First Great Desolation Simulation
Nuwa begins as a damaged willow tree under immediate threat from golden-blue heavenly lightning. She survives through sheer persistence, creates a cultivation method capable of filtering the Great Desolation World’s impure spiritual energy, and reaches Spirit Transformation before an unknown powerhouse destroys her 4 5 7 8.
Stone Village and the Human Path
During her second simulation, Nuwa accepts the Shi Clan as residents beneath her protection and becomes Stone Village’s Willow God. Her observations of the villagers inspire her to pursue the creation of a human-specific cultivation system rather than relying on other races’ techniques 28 87 88.
She saves the infant Shi Hao, later resets and rebuilds his cultivation repeatedly, and uses his progress to identify the hidden treasures of the human body. Shi Hao eventually leaves Stone Village, unifies the human kingdoms, and becomes the Human Emperor 29 89 93.
Ancestor Spirit Guardian’s Return
After transforming into humanoid form and reaching the Immortal King realm, Nuwa confronts the Immortal Kings connected to her willow body’s past. She kills Tai Shi, Ao Sheng, and Yuan Chu, then severs further karma by annihilating the Foreign Domain’s Immortal King forces 108 110 112 113.
She later defeats the Corpse Immortal Emperor after a decade-long battle, discovers the mystery of “Above the Heavens,” and receives the Heart of Creation Rules when the simulation ends 115.
Creation of the Human Race
Using knowledge gained from Stone Village and Shi Hao, Nuwa repeatedly makes clay dolls to refine her understanding of creation. With Fuxi’s gifts, she finally creates humanity, proves her Dao, and becomes a Primal Grand Unity Golden Immortal 35 74 141.
Hongjun attacks during her merger with the Human Dao, but Shen Lang intervenes and moves her to safety. After recovering, Nuwa completes the merger, declares herself the Human Race’s Holy Mother, and begins searching for Hongjun 142 148 149.
Later Investigation of the Great Desolation World
Nuwa returns to the Great Desolation World through the Myriad Worlds and finds that Shi Hao has severed the Boundary Sea from the past. She investigates the Upper Realm’s black blood and the red-haired monster, but chooses not to interfere when she realizes intervention could disrupt the River of Time and erase the future she is trying to understand 201 224 225 226.
