As Liu Bing began to question his existence, several figures suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
No, to be precise, several faces abruptly hovered in the void above his head. These faces were all exceptionally beautiful, to the point where Liu Bing couldn't tear his gaze away from them.
Yet, at the same time, he sensed an involuntary reverence welling up from the depths of his heart as his gaze fell upon these visages, as if he were facing not mere women, but sacred and inviolable beings akin to the sun.
However, this feeling lasted only a moment before vanishing without a trace. In the next instant, Liu Bing felt his vision turn stark white, as if enveloped by a thick fog, and then he lost all sensory perception.
"Huh, this little guy is too weak, and nothing special. How did he even get here?"
"What if the System brought him?"
"But how could the System possibly come here? This is Wa Huang Tian. Without Sister Nuwa's permission, no one can trespass."
"What if Empress Nuwa got too excited when she won that round of cards, and her shuffling was so forceful it caused some strange phenomenon?"
"Sinu, are you implying I was too rough just now?"
"Uh, Empress Nuwa, please calm down! That's not what I meant."
"Do you know what it feels like to lose fifty rounds in a row? Do you? After finally getting a hand of my own, how could I not be excited?"
"Perhaps we should talk about this little guy instead."
"Fine, but this little guy is too weak. Just looking at us is enough to shatter his spirit. He's not even as strong as the post-natal humans of Hong Huang."
"Xuan Nu, are you saying the post-natal humans are weak? Also, perhaps you didn't restrain your aura properly, or your cultivation isn't good enough?"
"Uh, Empress Nuwa, I didn't mean it like that."
"Then what did you mean?"
"Uh, I think you should stop going off-topic. The little guy's soul is about to dissipate."
"With Sister Houtu here, he won't die."
Liu Bing soon felt his consciousness return. He had only seen a few faces, then a vast whiteness, and then his consciousness had scattered.
Liu Bing opened his eyes and saw the faces in the sky again, or rather, four faces. They were so beautiful that Liu Bing didn't know how to describe them. They were just a bit large, occupying the entire sky. Truly, a massive face.
"You're the one with the big face, and your whole family has big faces. Little guy, don't think such things so directly, or you'll get hit." Empress Nuwa, seeing Liu Bing's thoughts, immediately retorted.
Liu Bing looked at the face that spoke. Just one glance, and he felt an overwhelming maternal aura radiating from her, a maternal glow that made him feel as if he were looking at his own mother. Then, the name of the speaker automatically popped into his mind: Empress Nuwa.
How is it automatically identifying characters?
"That's not automatic identification. It's because of my identity. Anyone who sees me will know who I am. After all, humans were created by me." Empress Nuwa saw through Liu Bing's thoughts again and answered directly.
It's really Nuwa! The Nuwa who created humans! Did I really transmigrate to Hong Huang? Liu Bing, shocked one moment, became excited the next. Hong Huang, a place where you could get stronger just by breathing!
"No, you haven't transmigrated to Hong Huang. You are currently in Wa Huang Tian, at our card table. And as for getting stronger by breathing, you'd best stop dreaming. With your frail body, if you went to Hong Huang, you'd probably die on the spot from just one breath." Sinu interjected.
Liu Bing's expression froze. He was at their card table? Was this card table this big? Then Liu Bing realized, wait, can these people see everything he's thinking? Also, what do they mean I'd die from one breath? Is it really that exaggerated?
"Yes, you're so weak, your mind is like an unguarded subtitle. We can see everything you're thinking very clearly." Xuan Nu said with a chuckle. "Also, you're too weak. With your body, let alone breathing, if you appeared in Hong Huang, you'd instantly be crushed into dust by the spiritual energy there, which is so dense it's almost solidified. You're lucky you appeared at our card table. All magic is forbidden here, otherwise, you wouldn't even have the chance to think such random thoughts right now."
Liu Bing felt like she was bluffing. How could it be that exaggerated? He'd die instantly in Hong Huang? Was she underestimating him too much? So many transmigrators ended up doing well in Hong Huang, why should he be any worse?
"Hey, this little guy won't shed tears until he sees the coffin. Empress Nuwa, can I send this little guy to Hong Huang for a visit?" Xuan Nu felt offended that Liu Bing didn't believe her. Did she need to lie to this little guy?
Empress Nuwa coughed and said, "Well, we are benevolent, how could we do such a thing?"
As she spoke, she took out a bag of spicy strips, skillfully tore it open, and popped one into her mouth. "Hmm, considering I ate his emergency rations, how about you simulate the Hong Huang environment? With us here, he won't die. It's a guarantee for him."
"Hehe, alright." Xuan Nu chuckled, then looked at Liu Bing. "Here, I'll now release an environment with one ten-thousandth of Hong Huang's spiritual energy around you. I think this should be your limit."
Before Liu Bing could speak, he felt as if his whole body was being squeezed by something, a pervasive pressure that made it impossible to even breathe. It was more uncomfortable than the pressure of the deep sea, though he had never experienced that either.
But he imagined that the deep sea pressure was purely compressive, while now he could feel something frantically drilling into his body, his body being filled with some substance, even overfilling.
I'm going to die, I'm going to die! It's overflowing, it's spilling out!
Soon, he felt his body inflate like a balloon, in just two or three seconds, and then it exploded.
Liu Bing's last thought was, Good grief, am I really this weak? I can't even withstand one ten-thousandth of the environment!
The next moment, Liu Bing regained consciousness. He patted his body with a look of lingering fear, found himself completely unharmed, and finally let out a sigh of relief.
"How was it? Although that was your limit, you still would have died. But that kind of environment would have given you a chance to react, to let you know how you died." Xuan Nu said with a wicked smile.
