At Donghuang Taiyi's words, Dijun narrowed his eyes slightly, looking thoughtful.
After mulling it over for a moment, he finally spoke:
"We don't have any Merit."
"But someone else does!"
Donghuang Taiyi was taken aback.
"Someone?"
As surprise washed over him, one person came to mind.
"Could you mean the Demon Teacher, Kunpeng?"
Not long ago, Cangjie of the Human Race had received Merit bestowed by Heaven for creating writing, and his cultivation had increased greatly.
Seeing this, the Demon Teacher Kunpeng had imitated Cangjie and created Demon Script of his own.
For this, the Heavenly Dao had also bestowed a considerable amount of Merit upon him, allowing him to rise straight to the Sub-Saint realm.

"That's right."
"I mean Nuwa Saint!"
Dijun's confirmation sent Donghuang Taiyi reeling.

"Big brother."
"Nuwa Saint possesses the Merit of creating humanity."
"But... would she lend it to you?"
At this, Dijun narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke in a low voice:
"She has to, whether she wants to or not."
"She is no longer the Holy Mother of the Human Race. She is a Saint
