Background / History
Nuwa and her elder brother Fuxi were born on Mount Buzhou, conceived from the essence of yin and yang creation. Shortly after their emergence, Di Jiang expelled them from their birthplace and sealed the mountain with the Five Elements Great Array. Nuwa repeatedly attempted to break the barrier with her newly comprehended power of creation, but could not disturb it; she and Fuxi ultimately settled on Fengqi Mountain. 5 6
She later became Hongjun's direct disciple and received the Primordial Violet Qi. Di Jiang coerced her into residing at the Sun Star to deter Candle Dragon and stabilize the nascent Heavenly Court; during this stay, Nuwa recognized the merit-bearing opportunity in uniting Di Jun with Xihe and Taiyi with Changxi through Heavenly Marriage. 67
After witnessing Di Jiang establish reincarnation, Nuwa realized that she could attain the Dao through merit rather than Laws. She used the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, Three Lights Divine Water, her Essence Blood, and the Law of Creation to fashion 129,600 Humans in the image of the Innate Dao Body. The merit of this act elevated her to sainthood. 109 112 113
Nuwa moved the newborn Human Race to a protected sanctuary on Fengqi Mountain and taught them an entire immortal-cultivation system over ten thousand years. Although she initially doubted Huangtian Shi due to the anomaly in his bloodline, she later recognized his leadership and bestowed the Human Emperor Seal upon him. 114 115
Hongjun subsequently named Nuwa the Mystic Gate's Senior Disciple and entrusted her with restoring the sect's declining fortune through the Human Dao. He granted her the Twelve-grade Pure World White Lotus and the root of the Great Dao of Laws. 136
Following the Human Race's devastation during the Great Calamity, Nuwa returned from Chaos as a Chaos Demon God and compelled the Demon Clan to apologize for its role in the slaughter. She nevertheless allowed Huangtian Shi to continue leading the Human Race after confirming Di Jiang's hidden influence over his bloodline. 149
Appearance
Nuwa is described as an exceptionally beautiful and majestic primordial goddess with a perfect Innate Dao Body. In her Chaos Demon God true form, she has a human upper body and a serpent tail covered in scales bearing Great Dao patterns. 5 177
- Clear, beautiful features accompanied by the ever-generating Qi of Creation. 136 417
- Often appears in flowing palace robes or plain white robes. 417 439
- Illusory lotuses bloom beneath her feet when she travels. 417
- Her true form radiates Chaos energy and can withstand the destructive environment of Chaos. 177
Personality
Nuwa is deeply protective of the Human Race she created. Their suffering during the Great Calamity enraged her, and she forced the Demon Clan to make amends; when Di Xin desecrated her temple, she sought retribution without directly escalating the conflict between major powers. 149 279
She is proud and remembers past humiliations, particularly Di Jiang's expulsion of her and Fuxi from Mount Buzhou. Yet she can set aside resentment when circumstances require it, as shown when she sought Di Jiang's aid against Candle Dragon and Xuanyuan. 6 232
As her cultivation increased, Nuwa became increasingly calculating in struggles over Human Dao and Heavenly Court authority. She sidelined Huangtian Shi over his hidden Witch Clan connection, supported Shennong against Xuanyuan, and later sought to use Buddhism's rise to dislodge the Dao Palace from the Heavenly Court. 158 227 439
