They Finally Have Names

She, Nuwa, created a new race not for its power, but for her own path to sainthood.

Whether this race was strong or weak was insignificant.

Thus, Nuwa began to gather a handful of ordinary soil and continued her creation of humans.

However, Nuwa soon discovered that ordinary soil wasn't quite suitable.

After several attempts, she found that only a certain type of yellow soil could be used to create these new beings.

Meanwhile, atop Shouyang Mountain, Hongyun curled his lips.

This Nuwa was truly a heartless and ungrateful person. Not only did she previously snatch his Gourd Vine and Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, but now, after he provided such a significant hint, she hadn't even offered a word of thanks.

"Forget it, I'll be tricking her later anyway!"

Hongyun felt a great deal lighter mentally.

Nuwa had first stolen his Gourd Vine and Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, and now she was so heartless and ungrateful. Even if he tricked her, it would be deserved.

Slap, slap, slap...

Countless times she struck the yellow mud, scattering countless specks of dirt.

Nuwa created new beings again and again.

Although the beings she created now were merely acquired beings, Nuwa's speed of creation had increased dramatically compared to before.

Previously, Nine Heavens Breathing Soil was incredibly precious, and Nuwa naturally handled it with utmost care.

But now it was different. It was just ordinary yellow soil, and there was plenty of it!

Time flowed by, and in the blink of an eye, another three hundred years passed.

By now, the number of beings Nuwa had created had reached a staggering eighty million.

At this moment, Nuwa finally stopped her hands.

She felt it was enough!

For a race, even if it didn't number in the hundreds of millions, eighty million was definitely not a small number. At the very least, it was enough for them to multiply, thrive, and continue indefinitely.

Buzz!

The instant Nuwa stopped her hands, as if confirming her completion of creation, a vast wave of Heavenly Dao Merit descended.

"Heavenly Dao Merit! I didn't expect it to be Heavenly Dao Merit!"

A flash of surprise lit up Nuwa's eyes.

At this moment, she understood!

By creating a new race, she would gain Heavenly Dao Merit.

Then, she could use this merit to prove her Dao and achieve a Saint Position.

All the parts she couldn't comprehend before became clear to Nuwa at this instant.

Following this, an immensely vast Heavenly Dao Merit began to descend upon Nuwa.

But...

Immediately after, all the Heavenly Dao Merit flowed into the Gourd Vine.

"This...?"

Seeing this, Nuwa was somewhat dumbfounded.

What was happening?

Didn't she create a brand new race? Shouldn't all the Heavenly Dao Merit have descended upon her?

Why was it all absorbed by the Gourd Vine in her hand?

Nuwa was utterly perplexed.

But fortunately, the Gourd Vine was still in her hand. At worst, she could just absorb all the Heavenly Dao Merit back from the Gourd Vine.

Swish!

Just as Nuwa thought this, the Gourd Vine in her hand suddenly gave a gentle shake and slipped from her grasp.

Then, it transformed into a stream of light and flew into the void.

In the blink of an eye, the Gourd Vine had arrived before Hongyun.

This was the power of the Mythical Grand Unity Method.

Even if they were separated by hundreds of millions of miles, Hongyun could instantly recall his magical treasure.

Not to mention, they were now less than a thousand miles apart.

With the Gourd Vine in hand and the Heavenly Dao Merit secured, a cold, mechanical voice sounded in Hongyun's mind.

Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully causing trouble. You have received a system reward: Fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation * 1!

The System's voice rang out.

"Jade Disc of Creation fragment, it's a Jade Disc of Creation fragment again!"

Upon hearing the System's voice, Hongyun's eyes lit up with joy.

What was he lacking the most right now?

It was the laws of the Great Dao!

Out of the three thousand laws of the Great Dao, he only possessed four.

But now, he had obtained another fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation, which must contain laws of the Great Dao.

It was like getting a pillow when you were sleepy!

He had not only obtained Heavenly Dao Merit but also a fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation. Hongyun felt that causing trouble this time was absolutely the right decision.

At the same time, Hongyun's divine sense probed the Heavenly Dao Merit within the Gourd Vine.

Hiss!

Upon probing, Hongyun gasped in shock.

If the Heavenly Dao Merit reward he received for completing the Heavenly Marriage before was like a bowl of water, then the Heavenly Dao Merit in the Gourd Vine now was equivalent to an entire vat of water.

Keep in mind that he had received the Heavenly Dao Merit reward twice for completing the Heavenly Marriage.

Compared to the Heavenly Dao Merit in the Gourd Vine now, it was simply too little.

"With this much Heavenly Dao Merit, I won't even be able to use it all up after cultivating my four laws to Grand Perfection!"

Hongyun thought to himself.

This was an absolutely massive surprise.

Meanwhile.

Nuwa, at the foot of Shouyang Mountain, also snapped out of her daze.

Her gaze turned towards Hongyun on the mountaintop.

She saw that Hongyun's face was currently beaming with joy.

"Hongyun! It really is this Hongyun!"

Nuwa instantly understood that Hongyun had taken back the Gourd Vine she held.

As for how Hongyun managed to do it, Nuwa didn't have time to think further.

That Gourd Vine contained her Heavenly Dao Merit for becoming a Saint.

Whoosh!

Nuwa's figure flashed, and she instantly appeared before Hongyun.

"Hongyun, give back my Gourd Vine!"

Nuwa said coldly, her eyes filled with killing intent.

"Your Gourd Vine? Are you sure this Gourd Vine is yours?"

Hongyun retorted.

She had been so overbearing when she snatched his Gourd Vine earlier, and now she claimed it was hers. It was simply shameless.

"Are you going to give back the Gourd Vine or not?"

Nuwa's patience had reached its limit.

This was related to her ability to become a Saint.

Becoming a Saint was the ultimate pursuit of every powerful being in the Great Desolation.

If Hongyun did not hand over the Gourd Vine, she, Nuwa, would go on a killing spree today.

"What? You want to snatch it by force?"

Hongyun sneered.

He was no longer planning to play along with Nuwa.

After all, his plan was complete, and the Heavenly Dao Merit had been obtained.

There was no need to pretend anymore.

He could reveal his hand...

"Snatch it by force? No, I'm going to kill you!"

Nuwa was enraged. Her eyes widened like copper bells, and the killing intent in them was no longer concealed.

Swish!

Instantly, Nuwa summoned her Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure and unleashed it towards Hongyun.

She was a peak Quasi-Saint expert; killing a mere peak Grand Unity being would be as easy as crushing an ant.

Now, Nuwa couldn't be bothered to waste any more words with Hongyun.

Killing Hongyun, reclaiming the Heavenly Dao Merit, and achieving the Saint Position were the things she needed to do.

Bang!

But just then, Hongyun on the opposite side not only didn't dodge her attack with the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Instead, he threw a punch, striking her spiritual treasure.

Then, a loud noise echoed.

Crack!

Nuwa's Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, conjured by her, was directly shattered by Hongyun's punch.

"This... How is this possible!"

Nuwa was stunned.

Her Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure could only withstand an attack from the physical bodies of the Twelve Ancestral Witches of the Witch Clan, but it couldn't be shattered.

Yet, Hongyun shattered it with a single punch.

However, after a brief moment of shock, killing intent surged within Nuwa once more.

She couldn't afford to think deeply now; she only wanted to kill Hongyun as quickly as possible.

Hum!

Nuwa unleashed her peak Quasi-Saint aura. With a wave of her hands, powerful law energy surged towards Hongyun.

This time, Nuwa displayed her full strength.

She held nothing back.

Seeing this, Hongyun remained as calm and indifferent as ever.

"Nuwa, remember, there's always someone stronger. Don't be so arrogant and overbearing in the future!"

Hongyun's voice echoed.

Immediately after, a phantom image of a Dao Fruit appeared behind him.

It was the Mythical Grand Unity Dao Fruit.

As the Dao Fruit manifested, Hongyun's aura surged dramatically.

Now, Hongyun stood invincible beneath the Saints.

However, even this time, he didn't go all out, only displaying one percent of his strength.

The Mythical Grand Unity Dao Fruit only showed its phantom image.

Hum!

Then, Hongyun waved his hand, and a colossal palm pressed down towards Nuwa.

In the void, the divine abilities and laws Nuwa had unleashed were like paper in the face of the giant palm, instantly collapsing and scattering like an undisciplined army.

Simultaneously, a suffocating fear rose from Nuwa's soles all the way to the back of her head.

"No, impossible...! How can he be this strong!"

Such a thought flashed through Nuwa's mind.

She couldn't believe, no matter what, that Hongyun's strength could be so immense.

It gave her the feeling of facing Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

He was clearly only at the peak of Grand Unity realm.

But before her thought could fully form, the giant palm had already descended.

Slap!

Nuwa felt as if she were a fly, instantly swatted away.

She flew for hundreds of billions of miles before finally crashing to the ground.

"My... My cultivation..."

Nuwa's internal energy became chaotic from the impact of that palm strike.

At the same time, her realm and cultivation were falling.

Nuwa, who was originally at the peak of Quasi-Saint, had now dropped to only the late stage of Quasi-Saint.

Below Shouyang Mountain.

Countless members of the Human Race saw the Holy Mother Nuwa being swatted away by the powerful being on the mountaintop, their faces filled with terror.

Among them, only the three thousand Innate Humans possessed a slight amount of magical power.

The rest were ordinary post-natal beings.

Without cultivation, they had no magical power.

Nuwa had only created this race to achieve Sainthood, so she naturally had no intention of teaching them cultivation techniques.

Hongyun walked step by step towards the Human Race.

"You all..."

Seeing the group of humans who were somewhat afraid of him, Hongyun spoke.

"From now on, you shall be the Human Race!"

Hongyun named the Human Race.

Buzz!

Just as Hongyun finished speaking, another wave of Heavenly Dao Merit descended.

Originally, Nuwa was supposed to name the Human Race and obtain the Heavenly Dao Merit.

But now...

Hongyun had taken care of it.

Thus, the Heavenly Dao Merit descended upon Hongyun.

Hongyun waved his hand and collected the Heavenly Dao Merit.

However, this time, the Heavenly Dao Merit was not much, only half of what he received when he completed the Heavenly Marriage.

But Hongyun didn't mind.

Even a mosquito's leg is still meat.

"Human Race!"

"Make way, Human Race!"

"Human Race!"

Having received their names, the group of humans immediately roared like a tidal wave.

Now, they finally had names.

"Holy Father!"

"Holy Father!"

"Holy Father!"

Eighty million humans knelt in unison before Hongyun, shouting his title again.

Hongyun gazed at the humans before him.

He knew this newly born race would face endless tribulations.

Originally, Hongyun had planned to impart some cultivation techniques to the Human Race now.

But after thinking about it, he decided against it.

The current Human Race still had a destiny-related task to complete.

Next, if Hongyun's guess was correct, Taishang Laojun would sense his opportunity to become a Saint and come to the Human Race to impart the Golden Core Great Dao.

Although the Golden Core Great Dao was not a true Great Dao.

Its name was intimidating, but in reality, it was not even as good as the most common cultivation techniques in the Great Desolation.

But...

That was Taishang Laojun's opportunity to obtain Heavenly Dao Merit and become a Saint.

If Hongyun were to impart cultivation techniques to the Human Race now, it would interfere with this process.

With this thought, Hongyun took out the Innate Five Elements Banners he had refined over the years.
