Fuxi pondered for a moment. Feelings?
That wouldn't do!
Nuwa was a saint now; she absolutely couldn't be held back by personal attachments.
She'd gone to the Human Race—could it be one of the Innate Humans?
Even more unacceptable!
His sister was a saint—how could she form a Dao Companion with a human?
Immediately, Fuxi decided that whoever it was, once he caught them, he'd beat them to death, lest they delay Nuwa!
Chapter 9: The Demon Race Invades
Elsewhere, Suirenshi returned to Human Race territory with that weed in hand.
Ziyishi and Youchaoshi found it odd that Suirenshi had gone to visit someone with Empress Nuwa, so they waited for his return.
When Suirenshi came back but Empress Nuwa was nowhere to be seen, Ziyishi and Youchaoshi both felt something was off.
Ziyishi couldn't help asking, "Where's Empress Nuwa?"
At the mention of Empress Nuwa's name, Suirenshi's expression turned strange.
He couldn't very well tell Ziyishi and Youchaoshi that Empress Nuwa had been thrashed by a Reclusive Great Master of the Human Race, could he?
That would damage a saint's dignity—a beheading offense!
Suirenshi had to brush it off: "Oh, Empress Nuwa is busy with a myriad of affairs, so naturally she couldn't linger in Human Race territory."
Ziyishi and Youchaoshi felt something was off but couldn't put their finger on it, so they just nodded.
Then Suirenshi brought up Chen Sheng, deliberately omitting the parts involving Nuwa.
When Ziyishi and Youchaoshi heard that the Human Race now had a Great Luo realm powerhouse, they were overjoyed.
Youchaoshi couldn't help saying, "With a Great Luo realm powerhouse stationed here, even if the Demon Race comes bullying us, we won't be completely helpless!"
Hearing this, Suirenshi's mouth twitched. A Great Luo who could banish a saint was no ordinary Great Luo!
Far more than just able to put up a fight!
If Chen Daoist could emerge from seclusion, the Human Race would go from downtrodden to triumphant!
But Suirenshi only dared to grumble about this in his heart.
Seeing Ziyishi and Youchaoshi enthusiastically discussing plans for the Human Race, Suirenshi couldn't bear to interrupt.
But as their talk grew more and more outlandish, Suirenshi had to rein them in: "But that powerhouse refuses to come out of seclusion. He only gave me this blade of grass, saying it can protect the Human Race..."
Youchaoshi: "..."
Ziyishi: "..."
Why not say something so important sooner?
They'd gotten excited for nothing!
They looked at the blade of grass that was supposed to protect the Human Race and were speechless. Was that really not just a weed?
Both were visibly disappointed. Suirenshi was helpless too. He looked at the grass in his hand and planted it in the cave.
Just then, a human rushed in, looking panicked.
Suirenshi sensed trouble immediately and quickly asked, "What happened?"
The human gasped for breath and stammered, "Bad news! The Demon Race is coming in force, launching a massive attack on the Human Race!"
Hearing this, the Three Ancestors' faces changed instantly.
Since the Human Race's birth, they had been at the bottom of the Primordial World, enduring humiliation.
Since they existed in the Primordial World, they had to follow its law of survival—the strong devour the weak.
That was why Nuwa hadn't intervened much in the Human Race's suffering.
Nuwa was a saint; as long as the Human Race wasn't facing extinction, she wouldn't act rashly.
Originally, the Human Race had lived on Shouyang Mountain. Though occasionally oppressed, they had lived in peace.
But ever since the Demon Race discovered that human flesh was delicious and could boost cultivation, they began treating humans as blood food!
At first, the Demon Race held back out of fear of Empress Nuwa, but once they learned she wouldn't interfere, they ran wild!
The Human Race, powerless against the mighty Demon Race, could only be trampled like weeds.
Ziyishi was furious. Frowning, he said, "This Demon Race goes too far!"
Suirenshi was flustered too. He quickly followed Ziyishi and Youchaoshi out and ordered the tribe to raise the Guardian Formation!
By then, the Demon Race had already arrived outside the Human Race's Guardian Formation!
Watching the humans hastily raise the Guardian Formation, the Demon Race sneered in disdain.
They were the Demon Race!
Born strong and mighty!
