"We pay our respects to the Holy Father!"

All one hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred living beings knelt before East King Duke at this moment.

Seeing this, East King Duke raised an eyebrow.

These people all possessed Innate Dao Bodies, with the lowest realm being at the early-stage Golden Immortal level, while the first three created were at the early-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, serving as the leaders of all living beings.

"Wa'er, you still need to issue a Heavenly Dao oath before you can prove Dao and become a Heavenly Dao Saint," East King Duke reminded softly.

A Heavenly Dao oath was a sign of respect toward the Heavenly Dao, and it could also earn one Heavenly Dao Merit, thereby achieving Perfection of Merit.

Nuwa then looked toward the endless Void and parted her crimson lips.

"Heavenly Dao Above, today Nuwa creates a race, named the Human Race. May the Heavenly Dao bear witness!"

"Human Race, emerge!"

These few words contained the Heavenly Dao Principles.

Instantly, her voice, amplified by the Power of Heavenly Dao, spread throughout the entire Primordial World. Whether in the vast starry sky, the Four Seas, or the Primordial Continent, all could hear Nuwa's voice.

For a moment, all the Innate Deities were shocked.

On Kunlun Mountain, Old Master Taiqing, Yuanshi, and Tongtian stood dumbfounded, staring at each other with wide eyes and gasping in shock.

At this moment, they sensed that Nuwa was about to Prove Dao and Become a Saint.

On Fengqi Mountain, Fuxi was extremely excited, his Quasi-Saint Peak aura leaking out.

"As expected, my sister Nuwa has the makings of a Saint..."

On Mount Sumeru, Zhunti and Jieyin still wore their usual bleak expressions, their eyes filled not only with shock but also envy and jealousy.

In the Purple Cloud Palace.

The Heavenly Dao Golden Wheel suddenly appeared, and the cold, merciless Heavenly Dao Rules shook the Eight Wastelands. Dao Ancestor Hongjun no longer exuded an air of kindness, only the supreme rules permeating everything.

In an instant, the Primordial World, which had been silent for ten thousand years, erupted into turmoil once more.

At Buzhou Mountain!

"If Nuwa proves Dao and becomes a Saint, then I will no longer be bound by the Heavenly Dao Rules, and I can prove Dao as a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin. From then on, the Primordial World will revere the Wu Race as supreme!"

"As for those two mangy Golden Crows in the Thirty-three Heavens, once the ten-thousand-year period is up, I will surely lead the Wu Race army and reduce you to ashes!"

Dijiang roared, his Space Law having now fully transformed into Space Dao Principles.

Only the Heavenly Dao Shackles still bound him; otherwise, Dijiang would have broken through long ago!

Above the Nine Heavens, golden light filled the sky.

Heavenly Flowers Scattered, Golden Lotuses Sprang from the Earth, and endless auspicious signs emerged across the world. The dark yellow Heavenly Dao Merit formed a river, descending toward Nuwa.

The sky was dyed gold, and all living beings erupted in excitement.

That Heavenly Dao Merit, boundless and endless, was divided into several portions directly by the Yellow River.

One portion entered the branches of Tongtian Jianmu, dyeing them gold and transforming them into a golden longsword, radiating the aura of a top-grade Postnatal Merit Spirit Treasure.

"The Primordial Chaos Sacred Sword!"

"This sword can slay all evil beings across the heavens, and as long as there is enough merit, it may yet become a Postnatal Merit Supreme Treasure!"

East King Duke instantly discerned the information about the longsword. It had evolved from the Heavenly Dao Merit, its vast golden merit light blazing like a sun.

The Primordial Chaos Sacred Sword could break through chaos and transform into primordial chaos.

Another two portions of the Heavenly Dao Merit split into countless golden rays, entering the bodies of the one hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred innate Human Race members, helping stabilize their origins and elevate their Background and cultivation.

As for the remaining seven portions of Heavenly Dao Merit, they all fell upon Nuwa's body.

A portion was originally meant to fly toward East King Duke, but he instantly struck it into Nuwa's body, since Heavenly Dao Merit was useless to him.

Rumble!

Supreme visions unfolded—Purple Qi Came from the East, Dao Sounds echoed, and Immortal Music resounded in waves.

At this moment, Innate Spiritual Qi turned into spiritual rain, falling upon the Primordial Continent. The boundless power of creation caused countless spiritual objects to awaken their intelligence.

The Heavenly Dao Merit merged into Nuwa's Primordial Spirit.

Then, the Primordial Violet Qi, Three Corpses, Primordial Spirit, and Merit finally reached a state of unity. Nuwa shattered the barrier of the Heavenly Dao Saint and directly proved Dao and became a Saint.

With Nuwa at the center, an infinite Saint's Pressure swept across the entire Primordial World.

All those whose cultivation was insufficient or whose merit was lacking submitted beneath Nuwa's Saint's Pressure.

Winds and clouds shifted, heaven and earth shook.

Nuwa entrusted her Primordial Spirit to the Heavenly Dao, constantly comprehending the Heavenly Dao Rules, while the Law of Creation transformed into the Creation Dao Principles. It could be said that the power she contained rivaled that of two Heavenly Dao Saints.

At the early-stage Heavenly Dao Saint realm, Nuwa was already the strongest beneath Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

"Congratulations to Empress Nuwa for proving Dao and becoming a Saint, imperishable through countless kalpas..."

For a time, the entire Primordial World was filled with praises and congratulations for Nuwa.

A Heavenly Dao Saint possesses the power of Heavenly Dao rules and enjoys supreme authority, existing as an incomparably exalted being within the Primordial World—no one dares provoke them.

All beneath a Saint are mere ants!

Without attaining sainthood, one can never achieve true freedom.

"Husband, my cultivation has broken through to the Early-stage Heavenly Dao Saint, but to fully stabilize it, I still need thousands of years of precipitation!"

"Now that humanity has been born, and the Primordial World teems with Ten Thousand Races, do you have any way to protect them?"

Nuwa nestled in East King Duke's embrace, her shyness undiminished, her love for him instead growing deeper.

Heavenly Dao Saints must not interfere in Primordial World affairs—this was the warning Dao Ancestor Hongjun gave to all in the Purple Cloud Palace.

Thus, even as the Human Race Holy Mother, Nuwa could not act unless humanity faced extinction.

With humanity's birth, Nuwa sensed from the Heavenly Dao that it would endure many calamities, so she hoped East King Duke would use his means to protect all of humanity!

Seeing this, East King Duke kissed Nuwa's red lips, then stirred his magic power slightly, gazing toward the East Sea.

Suddenly!

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Dragon cries echoed, divine light filled the sky.

From the East Sea Abyss, thousands of Divine Dragons soared into the clouds, heading toward the East Sea Coast—each dragon possessed cultivation no less than Primordial Unity Golden Immortal.

At their head was Dragon Emperor Ying Long, whose magic power was at Quasi-Saint Peak.

"Husband, Sister, I'm not late, am I?"

Ying Long, clad in crimson armor, stepped forward with pale, slender legs, her jade feet treading on Auspicious Cloud, and rushed straight into East King Duke's arms, overflowing with tenderness!

Nuwa saw this and smiled faintly.

Her husband would have many Dao Companions in the future, and she would not harbor jealousy or resentment.

"Dragon Son, from now on, let the Dragon Clan guard the newborn human race. This will wash away the Tribulation Karma and inauspicious karmic forces, and in time, the Heavenly Dao Shackles on the Dragon Clan will vanish!"

"Henceforth, the dragon shall be humanity's totem, and the Dragon Clan can also cultivate by borrowing the human race's fortune!"

As he spoke, East King Duke moved his right hand with magic power, and the vast Yin-Yang Law merged into a piece of Tongtian Jianmu bark, forging a flag!

The flag was black and white, yin and yang, with countless divine runes surging within, and at its center was engraved a golden divine dragon, symbolizing the Dragon Clan!

"As expected of my husband, so thoughtful!"

"All of the Dragon Clan, hear This Emperor's command: guard the human race at the East Sea Coast. If any other race dares to harm human lives, kill without mercy!"

"This Dragon Flag shall be the supreme treasure of fortune for both the human race and the Dragon Clan!"

Ying Long declared loudly!

Instantly, thousands of Divine Dragons vanished into the clouds, while the golden Dragon Flag expanded to tens of thousands of feet, planted into the earth, fluttering in the wind!

At this moment, the Dragon Flag was merely a Top-grade Postnatal Spirit Treasure!

Little did anyone know that countless years later, the human race of Huaxia would revere the Dragon Flag above all, and it would gather the fortune of all heavens' humanity, carrying the Dragon Clan's might to suppress the three thousand universes.

"Wa'er, go into the Chaos Bead to stabilize your cultivation. This Emperor will comprehend the Space Law and fully refine Old Ancestor Yangmei's origin, reaching the perfect level of Space Law as soon as possible!"

"As for Dragon Son, your Time Law is already perfect. Now you only need the precipitation of time and a sliver of opportunity to attain the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin. You may enter the River of Time in the Primordial World to comprehend the Great Dao!"

East King Duke looked at the two women and quickly stated his plan.

He should have comprehended the Space Law ten thousand years ago, but he had delayed it by reshaping his Dao heart in Pangu Hall. Now he had to perfect the Space Law as soon as possible.

Hearing this, Nuwa and Ying Long nodded slightly.

Then, Nuwa entered the Chaos Bead to cultivate, while Ying Long returned to the East Sea Abyss, wandering through the void, elevating her laws within the River of Time.

The primordial human race thrived and multiplied at the East Sea Coast, protected by the Dragon Clan, so no chaos would arise.

Meanwhile!

Beneath Mount Sumeru, billions of miles underground, a black demonic aura suddenly awakened.

"Hehehe... Nuwa created humans and became a Saint, and the Mystic Gate now has a second Saint. This Lord should also uphold the Devil Ancestor's will and bring the Demon Sect back into the world!"

Boundless demonic might slowly emerged!
