After thinking it over briefly, Dijun was secretly delighted.
Nuwa's words amounted to tacit approval for the Demon Race to continue its actions.
She had merely drawn a line they must not cross: "They must not exterminate the race."
"Your Ladyship!"
"Then... what about Taishang Saint?"
Dijun cautiously probed.
The Human Race had ties to two Saints.
One was naturally Nuwa, who had created humans by molding clay.
The other was Taishang Daoist, who had established the Humanity Teaching and attained sainthood.
Now that there seemed to be no problem with Nuwa, everything depended on Taishang Saint.
After all, Taishang Saint was the leader of the Humanity Teaching. If the Demon Race continued slaughtering the Human Race on a massive scale, Taishang might step in to protect them!
Hearing Dijun's question, Nuwa lowered her eyes slightly and said calmly:
"Unless it is a Tribulation of Calamity, Saints cannot personally interfere in the affairs of the Primordial Wilderness. This is a decree personally set by the Dao Ancestor in Zixiao Palace."
"Senior Brother Taishang is the senior-most disciple of Xuanmen. He will be even more scrupulous in upholding this rule."
At her words, Dijun was beside himself with joy.
Nuwa Saint had given her tacit approval, while Taishang Saint could not act directly because of the Dao Ancestor's decree. What did the Demon Race have to fear now?
Overjoyed, Dijun quickly recovered his composure and bowed to Nuwa Saint, his face alight with excitement.
"Thank you, Saint!"
With that, Dijun had already made up his mind. He immediately took his leave.
He had come to Nuwa Palace this time to see what attitude Nuwa Saint held toward the Human Race.
Now that he knew neither of the two Saints connected to the Human Race would intervene, Dijun had no more scruples!
