Nuwa stood up and looked at the open space by the stream.
There is still a lot of Nine Heavens Breath Soil, and there is still more than half of Three Light Divine Water, but most of the Creation Power in her body has been consumed.
If she were to use Universe Cauldron to refine one by one, she would be exhausted after only a few.
A race needs a large enough number to thrive.
She pondered for a moment and made a decision.
Universe Cauldron was collected.
Nuwa took out all the remaining Nine Heavens Breath Soil and piled them in the open space by the stream.
She poured Three Light Divine Water on it, and the sun, moon and stars Three-Colored Light melted into the soil and penetrated into every particle of soil.
Then, she cut her wrist again, and more blood and essence spilled out than before, blending into the soil soaked by the divine water.
She no longer used Universe Cauldron to refine them one by one, nor did she use Creation Manipulation to awaken them one by one.
She inserted her hands into the soil that was soaked with essence, blood and Three Light Divine Water, and Creation Power poured in like a tide.
The soil surged, condensed, and took shape in her hands, not three hundred and sixty-five, but 10,800.
A human figure stood up from the soil.
Their facial features are slightly rougher than Innate Human Race, and their skin is not as warm and jade-like as Innate Human Race. Although the meridians and internal organs in the body are equally complete, they lack the trace of Innate Dao Charm left behind after Universe Cauldron Return to Origin.
But they are also Innate Dao Body creatures, and they are also Human Race.
Ten thousand and eight hundred people.
This number is not random but coincides with a certain rhythm in the movement of heaven and earth.
Nuwa did not deliberately calculate it, but at the moment when Creation Power came out, it followed some mysterious induction and stopped at this number.
When the last human figure stood up from the soil, Nuwa's figure shook and almost fell.
The first man to wake up quickly stepped forward and helped her.
Nuwa waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, then raised his hand, and Creation Manipulation's power surged out again, covering all 10,800 people.
This time's awakening was much rougher than before.
She did not light up the spiritual wisdom for each person individually, but used her great supernatural power to inject Creation Power into everyone's Sea of Consciousness at the same time.
Their minds were awakened at the same time, they opened their eyes at the same time, and looked at Nuwa at the same time.
The 10,800 people knelt on the ground and called out in unison, "Mother."
Nuwa looked at the more than 10,000 Human Race kneeling on the ground in front of him, a tired and satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Three hundred and sixty-five Innate Human Race, ten thousand and eight hundred Acquired Human Race, this is the foundation of Human Race.
But she still has some materials left.
Nuwa lowered her head and saw the Innate Gourd Vine beside her. She picked it up and held it in her hand.
The rough touch of dead vines came from the palm of my hand, but the faint trace of life in it seemed to become clearer at this moment.
It senses the Creation Power around it, senses the new lives, and senses the mission it is about to complete.
Nuwa dipped Gourd Vine into the remaining soil mud, dipped it lightly, and then threw it into the air.
The mud dots flew away, turned into a human shape in the air, and fell to the ground.
They are the same as the 10,800 people before them. They are in adult form, with clear facial features and sound limbs. They were born with Innate Dao Body.
It's just that compared to Innate Human Race, their skin is a little less moist and their eyes are a little less agile, but they are still Human Race.
Nuwa keeps getting mud and throwing it into the air.
Gourd Vine is like a paintbrush in her hands, spreading countless lives on the earth.
Where the mud fell, the newly born adults stood up from the ground one by one, looked around confusedly, then looked at Nuwa, kowtowed and called "Mother".
One thousand, three thousand, five thousand, ten thousand, thirty thousand, fifty thousand, eighty thousand, one hundred thousand, one hundred and twenty thousand.
When the last bit of mud was thrown out, Gourd Vine completed its mission.
Nuwa put it gently on the ground, and it lay there quietly, with traces of mud and the aftertaste of Creation Power still remaining on the vine.
Having completed its mission of creating a human being, it is no longer a piece of dead vine, but a prototype of Merit Supreme Treasure.
Nuwa stood up straight and looked at the densely packed Human Race on the land in front of him.
Three hundred and sixty-five Innate Human Race, standing at the front.
Their faces are clear, their bodies are upright, and their eyes are shining with wisdom.
They are the brothers and sisters of Human Race, and they are the role models and leaders for all those who come after.
Ten thousand and eight hundred Acquired Human Race, standing behind them.
Their facial features are slightly blurred, and their bodies are not as tall and straight as Innate Human Race, but their eyes are still bright.
More than 120,000 Human Race, thrown out by Gourd Vine, stood at the back.
They are the largest in number and the simplest in form. Some have slightly dull facial features and some have slightly stiff bodies, but they are also creatures born with Innate Dao Body, and they are also Human Race.
More than 100,000 people stood densely in the open space at the foot of Mount Sumeru, extending from the stream to the hillside in the distance.
They looked at Nuwa at the same time, their eyes full of piety and gratitude.
That's all for Human Race.
Nuwa looked at them, feeling an unprecedented sense of satisfaction in his heart, and at the same time he also felt an unprecedented sense of responsibility.
She created them, and she is responsible for them.
She wants to give them a place to live, teach them survival skills, and enable them to reproduce, develop, and create their own civilization.
"Mother."
The first man to be pinched came forward and knelt in front of Nuwa.
Behind him, three hundred and sixty-five Innate Human Races knelt down in unison.
Further behind, 10,800 Acquired Human Race also knelt down.
The Human Race thrown out by more than 120,000 Gourd Vine followed closely behind. More than 100,000 people knelt down at the same time, and the earth seemed to sink slightly.
"Mother created us,"
The man's voice was calm and firm, echoing by the stream, "We will definitely live up to our mother's expectations."
We will survive on this land, thrive, and create our own civilization. Please rest assured, mother."
Nuwa looked at him, a trace of relief flashed in her eyes. She stretched out her hand and helped him up.
"Get up." She said, her voice a little hoarse, but still gentle, "You are the first generation of Human Race. On your shoulders, you bear the future of the entire Human Race. Mother believes in you."
The man nodded heavily, then turned around and faced all Human Race.
"From today on," his voice echoed by the stream, "We are - people!"
Three hundred and sixty-five Innate Human Races agreed in unison, followed closely by 10,800 Acquired Human Races, and more than 120,000 new Human Races shouted at the same time, and the voices converged into a torrent that echoed at the feet of Mount Sumerus for a long time.
Nuwa looked at this scene, took a deep breath, turned around, and faced the direction of Mount Sumeru.
It's time to announce the birth of Human Race to heaven and earth.
She raised her head, looked at the high and clear sky, took a deep breath, and was about to speak--
"Wait a minute."
A calm and steady voice came from behind.
Nuwa turned around and saw Xuande walking from Bodhi Tree in the distance, his pace was neither fast nor slow, and his face was as calm as water.
Behind him, Jieyin and Zhunti were also walking side by side. Their eyes fell on her and the densely packed Human Race behind her.
"Brother Xuande?" Nuwa was slightly startled.
Xuande walked up to her, glanced at the more than 100,000 Human Race kneeling on the ground behind her, and a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes.
Then he withdrew his gaze, looked at Nuwa, and spoke slowly.
"Nuwa Brother Dao, who do you want to declare to?"
Nuwa said, "Of course, only by witnessing Heavenly Dao. Heavenly Dao can the birth of Human Race be recognized by heaven and earth."
Xuande shook his head.
"Brother Dao," his voice was calm but with an unquestionable certainty.
"Human Race was created with your own essence and blood, Nine Heavens Breath Soil, and Three Light Divine Water. It is the ultimate expression of Creation Dao.
This is not just the addition of another race between heaven and earth, but the execution of Great Dao, the birth of a brand new creature that can reproduce, develop and create its own civilization.
This is not an ordinary reproduction under Heavenly Dao, but an extension of Great Dao Origin Essence."
He paused and his eyes became far-reaching:
"Declare to Heavenly Dao that Human Race is just one of the ten thousand races of Primordial Wilderness, bound by Heavenly Dao, and has experienced Heavenly Dao disasters.
But if it is announced to Great Dao, Human Race is an independent race under Great Dao, and has an independent Fortune and destiny just like Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, Kirin Clan, Witch Clan, and Demon Clan.
Brother Tao, these are the creatures you created, and you should give them the best starting point."
Nuwa was silent.
Xuande's words were like a bolt of lightning, splitting open a certain fog in her heart.
She created Human Race to conform to Creation Dao's insights and practice her own way.
But Human Race's future does depend on her choices at this moment.
Declare to Heavenly Dao that Human Race is the subject of Heavenly Dao;
Declare to Great Dao that Human Race is the people of Great Dao. The difference between one word and the other is a world of difference.
Human Race, deserves the best.
She turned around, no longer facing the sky, but facing the omnipresent and all-encompassing Great Dao.
She closed her eyes, her mind sank deep into Sea of Consciousness, and using the purest Creation Power as a guide, she made a declaration to the supreme Great Dao.
"Great Dao, above, I, Nuwa, now create a new race, called - human beings."
Her voice was not loud, but it seemed to penetrate time and space, reaching Great Dao Origin Essence.
"Humans use Nine Heavens Breath Soil as their bones, Three Light Divine Water as their blood, and my essence and blood as their souls.
Born to be Innate Dao Body, no need for Form Transformation, suitable for Great Dao.
Human beings have intelligence, emotions, and a desire to seek truth, and have infinite possibilities.
People will reproduce on their own, develop on their own, and create civilization on their own."
"Today, Human Race stands. Please Great Dao learn from it."
The voice fell.
There was a sudden silence between heaven and earth.
The wind stopped, the stream stopped flowing, and even the four-colored lights of the banana trees in the distance seemed to have solidified.
More than 100,000 Human Race raised their heads at the same time and looked to the sky, their eyes full of awe and expectation.
Then--
The sky is full of excitement.
Countless golden petals fall from the sky. They are not real objects, but the manifestation of Great Dao's induction and the praise of Great Dao.
The petals flew one after another and fell on Nuwa, on more than one hundred thousand Human Race, and on every inch of Mount Sumeru.
Each petal contains Tao charm, which penetrates into the skin and Sea of Consciousness, nourishing this new race.
Golden Lotuses Springing from Earth.
On the earth, countless golden lotus flowers emerged from the soil. Each lotus flower exuded a warm light and swayed gently in the wind.
There are mysterious lines flowing on the petals of the lotus, which are the traces of Great Dao.
The golden lotus spreads from the stream and spreads in all directions. Wherever it passes, the Spiritual Energy becomes more intense and the Daoist charm becomes deeper.
In the sky, the boundless Merit Golden Light began to condense.
That's not Heavenly Dao Merit, but Great Dao Merit.
Although both are Merit, they are essentially different.
Heavenly Dao Merit is Heavenly Dao's reward to Suncheon and Practitioner;
Great Dao Merit is Great Dao's recognition of the founder. The former is a reward, and the latter is resonance.
Merit Golden Light gathered into a huge beam of light, hanging down from Nine Heavens, covering Nuwa's entire body.
That beam of light was vast and pure, containing Great Dao's recognition of the new race Human Race, and containing Creation Dao's most extreme feedback.
Nuwa Standing in the pillar of light, the aura around him began to undergo earth-shaking changes.
She had already beheaded Good Corpse and Evil Corpse, but Obsession Corpse was the only one that she had not yet been able to kill.
Obsession is the most fundamental persistence of a monk. It is her persistence to Creation Dao and her persistence to "creation" itself.
This Obsession supported her through countless Kalpa practices and supported her in creating Human Race, but it also became the last shackle for her to achieve enlightenment.
At this moment, under the infusion of Great Dao Merit, the Obsession began to loosen.
She created Human Race not to prove anything or to achieve anything, but to follow her heart and practice Creation Dao.
The moment the birth of Human Race was recognized by Great Dao, her Obsession had completed its mission.
It is no longer her motivation to move forward, but something she needs to let go of.
Nuwa Close your eyes, and your mind sinks deep into Sea of Consciousness.
There, a figure exactly like hers stood quietly. It was her Obsession Corpse, the result of her countless Kalpa obsession with Creation Dao.
"You're done." Nuwa said softly, "You can put it down now."
Obsession Corpse looked at her, smiled slightly, and then turned into a ray of light and merged into Great Dao Merit.
Severing the Corpse, Cheng.
Good Corpse, Evil Corpse, Obsession Corpse, all three corpses were killed.
Three Corpses Unite.
Nuwa The aura around him broke through some kind of boundary at this moment.
The infusion of Great Dao Merit, the cutting off of Obsession Corpse, and the unification of the three corpses, all come together, like all rivers returning to the sea, and everything comes naturally.
Sage's realm, become.
But this is not the end.
Great Dao Merit did not dissipate, but continued to infuse, integrating with her Primordial Spirit, her Tao Fruit, and her existence itself.
Nuwa clearly felt that he had established an unprecedented connection with Great Dao.
That is not the feeling that Sage borrows the power of Heavenly Dao, but that she herself becomes a part of Great Dao, her way is Great Dao, and Great Dao is her way.
Great Dao Sage.
Different from Heavenly Dao Sage, Heavenly Dao Sage is Sage under Heavenly Dao, bound by Heavenly Dao, and dated from Immeasurable Tribulation.
Great Dao Sage is Sage recognized by Great Dao, which is independent of Heavenly Dao and co-exists with Great Dao.
This is a higher status than Heavenly Dao Sage, and it is an honor that only founders can obtain.
Nuwa Open your eyes.
In her eyes, there are the sun, moon and stars passing by, mountains and rivers emerging and dying, and all living things multiplying.
That was not a spell or magical power, but the manifestation of Great Dao on her body.
She stood there, obviously without any breath leaking out, but she made everyone feel a kind of awe that came from the depths of their souls.
More than 100,000 Human Race knelt on the ground and shouted in unison, "Congratulations to my mother for becoming a saint!"
Xuande, Jieyin, and Zhunti also raised their hands to congratulate Nuwa.
"Congratulations to Brother Nuwa," Xuande's voice was still calm, but with a hint of heartfelt emotion.
"To attain enlightenment and become a saint, Human Race is blessed to have a mother like this."
Jieyin put his hands together and said, "The ultimate in creation, Merit's perfection. Nuwa Daoist brother, I admire you."
Zhunti smiled and said, "Great Dao Sage, this is a higher level than Heavenly Dao Sage.
Nuwa Brother Dao, you have set a precedent."
Nuwa looked at the three of them, feeling warm in his heart.
She knew that if Xuande hadn't said "wait a minute".
If he hadn't awakened her to declare to Great Dao, she might have become a saint, but she would never have obtained the status of Great Dao Sage. She kept this kindness in her heart.
"Brother Xuande," Nuwa saluted him solemnly, "If it weren't for Brother Tao's guidance, Pindao would never be where he is today. Pindao will keep this kindness in his heart."
Xuande quickly returned the gift and said, "Brother Daoist, you are serious.
Pindao just said a few words casually. The one who truly proves the truth is Brother Tao himself. Brother Tao's Creation Dao, Pindao never doubts."
Nuwa straightened up, looked at Xuande, and suddenly smiled.
That smile is like the spring breeze blowing across the earth, like the warm sun shining on all things.
It is the relief after enlightenment, the satisfaction of completing a mission, and the gratitude to a close friend.
She turned around and looked at the more than 100,000 Human Race. They were kneeling on the ground, their eyes full of awe and piety.
They are her children, proof of her practice of Creation Dao, and the most precious gift she left to this world.
"From today on," Nuwa's voice echoed by the stream, gentle and solemn.
"Human Race, based on Primordial Wilderness. You are born Innate Dao Body, and you are born to fit Great Dao.
You don't need to envy any race, because your starting point is the destination that countless creatures have gone through untold hardships to reach."
"Go, reproduce, and create your own civilization. Mother will watch you, Great Dao will watch you."
More than 100,000 Human Race agreed in unison, and their voices converged into a torrent that echoed at the feet of Mount Sumeru for a long time.
The ceiling is still falling, and the golden lotus is still pouring out.
The aftertaste of Merit Golden Light is still flowing between heaven and earth, shrouding the entire Mount Sumeru in a peaceful light.
Xuande stood in the distance, watching all this, and felt an indescribable emotion in his heart.
He knew that a new era had begun.
