Power Progression
| Stage / Realm / Level | Chapter | Notes |

Background / History
Nüwa awakened in a realm whose laws differed radically from those of the Primordial Era. With spiritual energy nearly absent and her divine sense heavily suppressed, she followed the faint trace of Tongtian's sword intent to Lin Fan's world. She explains that the Primordial Era was no longer a paradise and that she and Tongtian had fled there after a catastrophe. 6
Upon meeting Lin Fan, she thanks him as a descendant of the Human Race for sheltering Tongtian. She chooses to remain in his cramped apartment, where she adapts to modern life while Lin Fan handles the household's practical needs. 6 7 11
Her presence soon attracts attention. An old Daoist recognizes that her aura contains compassion and creation, calls her presence unacceptable to the Heavenly Dao, and implies a connection to surviving Primordial-era inheritances. Nüwa drives him away with a restrained release of Sage authority, then urges caution rather than certainty about his claims. 11 12
She later identifies herself to Chen Jing's team as an otherworldly refugee with no intention of disrupting local order. During subsequent negotiations between the Sages and state officials, the group agrees to coexist under conditions of legal recognition, resources, supervised ability use, and crisis assistance. 9 34
Appearance
Nüwa is an ethereal woman whose calm, compassionate presence makes her seem profoundly out of place in Lin Fan's ordinary apartment and the modern city around it. Her voice is consistently described as gentle and pleasant, while her gaze conveys an encompassing love for living beings. 6 9
- Gentle, clear eyes that can become grave or majestically cold when her origins or the heavenly secrets are threatened. 6 11 12
- Performs graceful ancient gestures, including a formal bow of thanks to Lin Fan. 6
- Possesses a soothing, holy presence that naturally settles fear and hostility in others. 6 9
- Sometimes conceals her appearance in public with a hat and glasses. 14
Personality
Nüwa is compassionate, patient, and deeply protective of life. She treats Lin Fan with warmth, sees value in his disposition, and agrees to help a dying child despite knowing that intervention could bring danger and attention. 11 17
She favors coexistence and restraint over confrontation. When Tongtian clashes with officials or Yuanshi Tianzun, she acts as a mediator, urging both practicality and mutual support among the displaced Sages. 9 27
Her gentleness does not signify weakness. When the old Daoist attempts to probe her nature, she responds with the dignity of a Sage of creation and warns him to leave before he invites greater punishment. 12
Nüwa is detached from wealth and fame. She permits her lesser works to reach sincere people only because they may bring peace or relief, and she leaves the proceeds from their sale to Lin Fan's discretion. 15 25
Abilities & Skills
Creation Dao
Nüwa's central power is a Dao of creation rooted in life, compassion, and vitality. Even under the realm's suppression, she can embed this Dao rhythm into art and material objects.
- Creates lifelike paintings and clay sculptures that convey the spirit and vitality of their subjects. 12 14
- Produces works that calm minds, purify aura, stabilize the environment, and assist cultivation. 12 14
- Her paintings can soothe insomnia, anxiety, and migraines for receptive viewers. 25
- Her later scenes combine sculptures, paintings, and ordinary materials into self-contained formations resembling miniature natural worlds. 40 41
- Her power is constrained by the laws of the modern realm and can cause dangerous disturbances when exerted intensely. 6 17 18
Aura Concealment and Dao Manipulation
Nüwa can alter the Dao-rhythm signatures of her own creations.
- Suppresses the detectable aura of the apartment's sculptures before an official inspection, making them appear ordinary to instruments unless specifically stimulated. 16
- Warns that forcibly analyzing objects containing her Dao rhythm may cause unforeseen consequences. 12
- Creates small protective and warning-oriented ornaments, including a clay shield and an eye-shaped pendant, to reinforce the residence's defensive Dao field. 26
Sage Presence and Perception
Although suppressed, Nüwa retains perception and authority far beyond ordinary humans.
- Detects the old Daoist's ancient, pure Dao rhythm and faint Primordial-era aura. 11 12
- Stops his hand short of her sleeve with an invisible, indestructible barrier. 11
- Drives him away through a formless aura of warning that isolates the surrounding space into eerie silence. 12
- Perceives malicious intent in the faction pursuing her power of creation. 26
Vitality Nourishment
Nüwa can use creation Dao rhythm to nourish life, though she explicitly does not claim to be a specialist healer.
- Attempts to stimulate a dying child's remaining vitality and potential rather than promising an absolute cure. 17
- Successfully saves the child, but the expenditure leaves her depleted and in need of five days of deep recovery. 18 19
- Restores a half-dead pothos to vigorous growth through a creation scene involving a painting and clay sculpture. 41
Purification and Comfort
Nüwa applies her Dao to protect and soothe rather than destroy.
- Works with Yuanshi Tianzun to purify a city water source contaminated by Demonic Qi. 31
- Sings an ancient, life-filled ballad that comforts the traumatized gravekeeper and lets him sleep. 29
- Uses her creation power to stabilize the atmosphere during the confrontation between Yuanshi and Tongtian. 27
Equipment / Weapons / Items
- Xi Rang — A clay statue of a compassionate woman, created from ordinary clay but infused with Nüwa's creation Dao rhythm. It stabilizes the residence, purifies aura, calms the mind, and aids Lin Fan's cultivation. 12
- Orchid Grass Painting — An apparently casual painting whose Dao rhythm brings tranquility to viewers and draws the attention of collector Zhou Wenyuan. 13 14 25
- The Mortal Realm — A later creation used by Tongtian as the focal point of a test for people seeking access to Nüwa. 26
- Clay protective ornaments — Small shields, eye-shaped pendants, and related creations placed around the apartment to reinforce its protective field. 26
- Creation artworks released through Zhou Wenyuan — Includes Spirit Turtle Carrying a Chart, Azure Phoenix Holding Ganoderma, and Secluded Valley Clear Spring Painting. 25
Relationships
- Tongtian — Her senior martial brother. Nüwa followed his residual sword intent into this world, worries about his depleted state, and regularly restrains or advises him during conflicts. 6 9 12
- Lin Fan — Her host and a descendant of the Human Race. She thanks him for taking in Tongtian, considers his disposition dependable, and entrusts him with practical matters and the proceeds from her works. 6 11 25
- Chen Jing — An initially suspicious official investigator. Nüwa de-escalates their first meeting and later leaves Chen Jing and her team shaken by her explanation of creation and love. 9 16
- Zhou Wenyuan — A collector transformed from a possessive admirer into a respectful liaison for Nüwa's artworks. She allows him to share selected works only with sincere recipients and forbids their misuse. 15 25
- Yuanshi Tianzun — Her senior martial brother. Nüwa urges him and Tongtian to set aside their historical hostility while they are stranded in a foreign realm. 27
- The Gravekeeper — A Primordial-era remnant whom Nüwa pities and comforts after he is traumatized by memories of past catastrophes. 29
- Gong Gong — A fellow Primordial being within Lin Fan's household. Nüwa recovers while Lin Fan and the others help Gong Gong adapt to modern life. 19
- Jumang — A fellow Primordial being who joins the household; he interacts harmoniously with Nüwa and the other stranded Sages. 43
Story Role / Major Arcs
Arrival in Lin Fan's World
Nüwa arrives after tracing Tongtian's sword intent and joins him at Lin Fan's apartment. Her identity as the mythological creator of humanity overturns Lin Fan's understanding of reality. 6
The Old Daoist and Xi Rang
After an old Daoist senses her forbidden, creation-infused nature, Nüwa reveals a fraction of her Sage authority and begins creating Dao-infused art. Her sculpture Xi Rang becomes the apartment's spiritual center and attracts official scrutiny. 11 12
Art, Attention, and Official Inquiry
Her Orchid Grass Painting and clay figures attract Zhou Wenyuan and the art world. She rejects attempts to value Xi Rang in money, conceals her creations' aura during an official inspection, and explains creation as an expression of witnessing, comprehension, and love. 14 15 16
Saving the Terminally Ill Child
Nüwa accepts Lin Fan's request to help Ms. Wang's dying daughter. She saves the child through creation Dao rhythm, but the act depletes her strength and exposes the household to greater scrutiny. 17 18
Sharing Her Creations
After recovering, Nüwa permits Zhou Wenyuan to place a few lesser artworks with sincere people in need of peace and vitality. The private sales produce more than 300 million RMB, while also drawing the attention of malicious parties seeking to exploit her power. 25 26
Primordial Remnants and Civic Crises
Nüwa mediates between Yuanshi and Tongtian, comforts the gravekeeper, and joins Yuanshi in responding to the Demonic-Qi contamination of the city's water supply. 27 29 31
Expanded Creation Practice
Her work evolves beyond isolated sculptures into integrated scenes that simulate natural patterns and formations. These creations can visibly restore life to plants and deepen the apartment's concealed Dao field. 40 41
Notable Quotes
“The Heavenly Dao has its constants and its variables. The laws of this realm are stable, repelling our external powers; this is the ‘constant.’ However, all things have a sliver of hope, this is the ‘variable.’”
— Nüwa 12
“Fame and fortune are like shackles, desire is a cage. They are fixated on external things, yet fail to see the true treasure before them.”
— Nüwa 15
“If it is used to help the world and help others, it is also a good deed.”
— Nüwa 25
