"Elder Brother, Nuwa is here again."
As he pondered, Di Jun heard Taiyi's slightly odd voice beside him, as if puzzled that Nuwa had returned so soon after her last visit.
Ten thousand years might be long for mortals, but in the Primordial Wilderness, where the mighty seclude themselves for epochs or even kalpas at a time, and a nap spans billions of years, ten thousand years was indeed but a blink.
"Let her come."
His eyes flickered as countless thoughts and notions raced through his mind. Di Jun's lips moved slightly as he transmitted his reply.
With that, he sat cross-legged, steadying his emotions. His expression gradually returned to calm, though his eyes still glimmered, as if lost in thought.
Moments later, a figure in a flowing jade-green gown entered the hall—elegant yet noble, dignified yet sacred, so breathtakingly beautiful that no words could describe her. It was Nuwa.
"Greetings, Daoist Brother. Thank you for showing me the way. Though I have not yet truly set foot on the path of Mythological Nuwa, I have already glimpsed some of its mysteries."
Her gaze fell upon Di Jun as she gave a slight bow. In her cool voice, traces of disbelief and shock could still be heard.
"This is your fortune. I merely offered a few pointers. Without insight, you could not have walked this path. There is no need to thank me," Di Jun said with a smile.
"Daoist Brother, I wish to join the Heavenly Court. I humbly request your approval."
Without hesitation or pause, as if the decision had long been made, Nuwa bowed again and spoke solemnly.
Nuwa wished to join the Heavenly Court!
"Granted."
His eyes flashed, and Di Jun slowly uttered a single word.
As his voice fell, a silent, formless roar echoed through the unseen. The Heavenly Court's destiny surged, and the vast feedback of fortune stirred Di Jun's Dao Fruit, bringing boundless enlightenment. His cultivation, which had only just broken through to the Primordial Golden Immortal Realm, was now fully stabilized, and his power advanced further.
For a lord of a dynasty, strengthening the dynasty itself nourished its ruler. And with Nuwa—a top-tier great power of the Primordial Wilderness, fated to become a sage—joining the Heavenly Court, the benefits to Di Jun were self-evident.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Nuwa, who had been slightly tense, relaxed into a smile on her exquisite face upon hearing Di Jun's acceptance.
"Sit, and let us talk."
"Yes."
A cushion materialized behind her, and Nuwa sat gracefully.
"Your Majesty, as I roamed the myriad realms with my divine consciousness, I created humanity in various small worlds. Now, nourished by the will and faith of humanity, I have condensed the rudiments of the Human Lord Status, which has also elevated my cultivation."
"If I did not suppress it, I could already break through. Do you think it would be better for me to Prove Dao with Strength or to Prove Dao by Severing Three Corpses?"
Having joined the Heavenly Court and become one of their own, Nuwa no longer held back. She carefully voiced her doubts.
Proving Dao with Strength meant using one's own power to comprehend and grasp the Great Dao, fully mastering it to condense the Great Dao Origin, solidifying the Dao Fruit, and breaking through to the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin Realm.
As for the method of Severing Three Corpses, it was the path bestowed by Dao Ancestor Hongjun during his lectures at the Purple Cloud Palace. By using spiritual treasures to sever one's Good, Evil, and Self Corpses, then merging them to prove the Dao.
In essence, the method of Severing Three Corpses involved splitting off several avatars to comprehend the Great Dao together. Since spiritual treasures themselves bore the imprints of the Great Dao, this made comprehension far more efficient—but it also meant one's mastery over the Great Dao was shallower.
That much went without saying.
"Don't you already have the answer yourself?" Di Jun said with a smile.
For anyone with ambition, the choice was obvious—just as it was for him. The answer was self-evident.
Severing Three Corpses was a last resort, taken only because proving the Dao was so difficult. But now that Nuwa had the cultivation method of Mythological Nuwa, the situation was entirely different.
"I understand."
Nuwa nodded. Her eyes closed, and a stream of obscure energy rose from her. Strands of Great Dao Power wove together, and faint runes appeared around her body.
In an instant—or perhaps a single breath—Nuwa's aura seemed to undergo a sublime transformation, then rapidly contracted as if returning to simplicity.
Breakthrough—Primordial Golden Immortal Realm!
Hum!!!
The momentum of Nuwa's breakthrough stirred the Heavenly Court's destiny, and Di Jun's illusory Dao Fruit solidified by another three-tenths.
"So this is the joy of the dynastic method? The dynasty grows, and I grow with it. It's more than double the pleasure. And if this is just a regular dynasty, what of a Mythological Imperial Dynasty?" Di Jun mused inwardly, his heart burning with even greater desire for the Method of Mythological Imperial Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, how exactly should I walk the path of Mythological Nuwa? I beg you to show me the way."
Taking a deep breath to stabilize her new realm, Nuwa rose and bowed deeply to Di Jun, her voice filled with both eagerness and nervousness.
The method of Mythological Nuwa!!!
She hadn't dared to ask before joining the Heavenly Court, but now that she was a member, how could she not?
"Mythology means tracing back to the source, returning to the origin. First, you must turn the One into the Infinite, then condense the Infinite back into the One. Only then can you prove your true self and attain uniqueness."
"You have only just set foot on the mythological path. What you need now is for the Dao to give birth to One, One to give birth to Two, Two to give birth to Three, and Three to give birth to the Infinite of all things. Only when you have grown to your limit should you begin to gather it all back into the One."
"How to walk it? Aren't you already walking it now?"
"First, take the Primordial Wilderness as your base camp. Let your projections create humanity across all realms. Become the Lord of Humanity yourself. Let your Dao Lineage spread throughout the infinite worlds subordinate to the Primordial Wilderness. From nothing, bring forth being. Then, from being, bring forth nothing—create your own worlds, forge worlds that belong solely to humanity."
"Thus, you establish your foundation, elevating and strengthening your Human Lord Status as much as possible. When you reach the limit, that will be the time to take the next step. It is not far off for you now, so there is no need to dwell on it too much—focus on the present first."
Di Jun spoke unhurriedly.
More?
He didn't know that either!
The time was too short; who could say if this was truly feasible? Di Jun naturally needed time to organize and deduce before he could confirm the answer.
"Evolve variables, then gather them into one."
"Create Something from Nothing, Transform Something into Nothing."
A glimmer of light flashed in her eyes. Nuwa was lost in thought, a vague understanding stirring within her, a feeling rising. In her heart, ripples gradually swelled into a raging storm.
What exactly was Di Jun's situation?
He even possessed the Mythological Law, and it wasn't false—it was genuinely useful!
Then, how strong must Di Jun himself be, having imparted the Mythological Law?
"Unfathomable!"
"Terrifying beyond measure!"
With these thoughts flashing through her mind, Nuwa cast all distractions aside.
There was no need to think so much, nor to ponder it deeply. Di Jun's strength was a good thing, wasn't it? After all, she had already joined the Heavenly Court. As for the rest, why delve into it?
"Your Majesty, I shall take my leave for now, returning to seclusion to stabilize my realm and carefully contemplate and deduce the subsequent growth path of the Mythological Nuwa method."
Taking a deep breath, Nuwa spoke with respect.
