• The Witch Clan array’s killing power turned the battle into a war of attrition, with both sides losing warriors at a terrible rate.

• Nuwa created both male and female humans, then used the Gourd Vine to make hundreds of thousands more and named them the human race.
• Nuwa declared the human race established, and the Heavenly Dao bestowed merit on Nuwa, the Gourd Vine, the humans, and East King Duke.
• The merit transformed the Gourd Vine into the Beating Man Whip and helped Nuwa become a Saint, while East King Duke’s understanding of the Yin-Yang Law deepened.
• Nuwa and East King Duke congratulated each other, then sensed an immense force descending from the horizon.

After Nuwa became a Saint, Hongjun ordered her to establish a Dao Field beyond the heavens and stay out of Primordial World conflicts, so she entrusted the newborn Human Race to East King Duke as their Saint Teacher.

• Laozi and the other Three Pure Ones felt humiliated that Nuwa had become a Saint before them, and Tongtian was the first to comment on her achievement.

After Nuwa became a Saint, she learned that the Heavenly Dao barred Saints from intervening in the Yao-Witch conflict and went to establish her sanctuary in the Chaos.

Minghe created the Asura Clan in hopes of earning the merit to become a Saint, but received far too little to advance his cultivation. Ten thousand years later, Nuwa gathered the Primordial World's great powers in Chaos to open her Dao Field, and East King Duke's arrival revealed the respect she held for him.

• Minghe created the Asura Clan from the Sea of Blood and its Malevolent Qi, then received only a fraction of the merit Nuwa had gained.
