"The establishment of the dynasty has brought some insights. What is myth? The supreme and unrivaled is 'myth,' and the concepts of fantasy are 'myth.'"
"What myth carries is inherently fantasy and impossibility, encompassing wild imagination and divergent thinking. As high as one's imagination soars, so too does myth. If, on this foundation, there are rules and feasibility, then this is myth!"
"Then, what if I take the Method of Dynasty as the core and evolve and amplify it?"
His eyelids drooping slightly, Di Jun felt many insights rising within his heart, with countless thoughts and inspirations flashing through his mind.
After a long moment, Di Jun took a deep breath, his gaze clearing, and then slowly closed his eyes.
Since he had gained insights, he might as well go into seclusion and deduce them, and it would also be a good opportunity to familiarize himself with the Primordial Golden Immortal Realm and stabilize his cultivation base.
Time flowed like water, and in the blink of an eye, ten thousand years had passed.
The entire Primordial Continent passed through a strange state, as if on the verge of eruption, like undercurrents surging. The Heavenly Court was being built and developed with great fervor, while the Purple Mansion and all parties remained in a state of watchful waiting.
Looking out, the once barren Nine Heavens of the celestial realm had, over time, become solemn and magnificent.
Jade Palaces and Towers, Celestial Palaces and Immortal Halls, drifted among the clouds, adorned with brilliant rosy clouds and boundless divine light, spectacular and majestic, dazzling and resplendent.
Except for Daluo Heaven, which served as the Dao field for Di Jun and Taiyi, the high-ranking members of the Heavenly Court, and thus had no living beings, the other eight heavens had become bustling with activity. Everywhere, one could see mighty beings or creatures flying and moving between palaces and regions, everything appearing thriving and prosperous.
In the cultivation chamber, Di Jun, who had been in seclusion for tens of thousands of years, slowly opened his eyes. A faint, obscure divine light flashed through them before fading. Exhaling a breath, the profound aura around him gradually contracted.
"My cultivation base is stabilized, and I have some initial insights into the development of the Heavenly Court and the evolution of the Mythological Imperial Dynasty system."
Letting out a breath, he was pondering when, as if sensing something, Di Jun looked up at the void and reached out. A wisp of light merged into his hand. Scanning it with a thought, Di Jun raised an eyebrow.
"Nuwa? I was planning to find Fuxi first and then Nuwa, but I didn't expect Nuwa to come first."
Smiling, Di Jun waved his hand, and a golden light vanished into the void. Then, he stood up, took a step, and left the cultivation chamber.
In the main hall of the Heavenly Emperor Palace.
Di Jun sat cross-legged on the upper cushion. Light, unhurried footsteps sounded, and a woman entered from outside the palace. She wore a jade-green long dress, her bearing elegant and noble, her features so breathtakingly beautiful that no words could describe them, as if she had seized the very essence of creation.
"Daoist Sister Nuwa, if I calculate the time, it has been several epochs since we last met after the Dao Ancestor's lecture. What brings you here today?"
With a faint smile on his face, Di Jun spoke gently.
Nuwa arrived!
"Greetings, Daoist Brother. Nuwa has a request and humbly seeks your guidance."
Bowing slightly, Nuwa said gracefully.
"Sit and speak."
With a gesture from Di Jun, a cushion appeared behind Nuwa.
Seeing this, Nuwa did not stand on ceremony and sat down freely.
"Whatever the issue, speak freely. If Imperial We can help, I will not hesitate to offer guidance."
Di Jun did not engage in pleasantries or formalities, cutting straight to the point.
"Thank you, Daoist Brother."
After expressing her thanks, Nuwa carefully began, "I wish to ask, Daoist Brother, what is the Human Path? And why do you call it by that name?"
"The Human Path?"
His eyes narrowing slightly, a sharp glint flashed through Di Jun's eyes as he fell into thought.
Was this making Nuwa gain some enlightenment about her own path to the Dao?
After all, the key to Nuwa's attainment of sainthood lay in creating humanity.
"All beings in the world transform into the Innate Dao Body, which is the form most suited for our cultivation. Don't you think, Daoist Sister, that the shape of the Innate Dao Body resembles 'human'?"
With many thoughts racing through his mind, Di Jun spoke slowly.
"Innate Dao Body... human..."
Nuwa sank into deep contemplation.
After a long while, Nuwa exhaled and came back to herself, her gaze clear and seemingly bright. Standing up, she bowed to Di Jun once more and said gratefully, "Thank you, Daoist Brother, for pointing the way."
"Are you leaving already, Daoist Sister? If Imperial We is not mistaken, the Human Path is beneficial to your attainment of the Dao? Thinking along these lines, your opportunity for enlightenment should lie in creating humanity!"
With a smile on his face, Di Jun spoke unhurriedly.
After all, the celestial realm, including the Heavenly Emperor Palace, had its Heavenly Secrets blocked by him, so Di Jun was not worried about leaks. As for the danger of directly revealing this?
I'm going to die when the Witch-Demon Tribulation ends anyway, so why should I care about that?
Doing everything possible to strengthen and improve oneself—that was the true path. As for the rest, Di Jun didn't care.
Nuwa was good—she was a Heaven-Appointed Saint, a future saint. If he could win her over, the Heavenly Court's fortune would skyrocket. Only a fool would refuse.
It was time to show off the persuasive skills he'd learned in his past life!
"!!!"
When she heard Di Jun's words, Nuwa's pupils contracted slightly. Though her expression did not change, the aura around her rippled faintly.
"No need to be tense, Daoist Sister. Guessing this wasn't difficult. However, Imperial We advises you not to create humanity just yet. Your cultivation has not yet reached its peak. If you create humans now, you may not be able to attain the Dao in one go. First, improve yourself."
"I do have an idea. Have you ever heard, Daoist Sister, of the Mythological Nuwa?"
Di Jun smiled and spoke with ease.
He didn't know whether Nuwa was mythological or not, nor had he deduced it, but that didn't matter—he would just convince her first. Even if it couldn't be achieved, it would still benefit her own growth. If he could actually sway Nuwa, that would be a great boon.
"Mythological Nuwa?"
"Daoist Brother, what principle is this?"
When she heard Di Jun's earlier words, Nuwa nodded slightly in agreement. But at the end, she froze and couldn't help asking in confusion.
"Mythology means transcending all, surmounting everything, gathering all fantasies, collecting all concepts, condensing all origins, and being the root of all."
"If there were a Mythological Nuwa, she would be the concept of all Nuwas, also the source of all Nuwas. That is, where she exists, she illuminates all heavens, stands above all, and her projections spread across all heavens, covering all dimensions and time and space."
"Of course, this is merely what I have heard, merely my own conjecture. Daoist Friend need not pay it too much heed."
"However, Daoist Friend could still give it a try first. Creating humans now is disadvantageous to you, but you need not do it in the Main World. Instead, you could create a small world beneath the Primordial World Crystal Wall and create humans there."
"Though this is not ordained by Tianming, it would still allow you to gather the Human Way and forge the human race, which can in turn nourish yourself. If Daoist Friend handles it well, you may even have the chance to condense the Mythological Status of Lord of Humanity or even Lord of the Human Way, thereby stepping onto the Mythical Path."
"Even if not, this would still grant you experience and allow you to grow faster. Why not do it?"
Di Jun spoke unhurriedly.
"Mythology?"
"Lord of Humanity? Lord of the Human Way?"
"Mythological Status???"
Even Nuwa, with her current state of mind, could not help but show a slight daze on her face, and shock and awe appeared in her eyes.
Truly, what Di Jun had said completely touched upon Nuwa's blind spot in knowledge!!!
