Nuwa protects herself! Who dares to bear this immense karma?

"Buzz!"

In the eastern sky, the void that Primordial Heavenly Venerate had pierced suddenly rippled.

Boundless Creation Immortal Light surged out from the void, with myriad auspicious colors and converging auspicious clouds.

Within the immortal light, a graceful figure slowly solidified.

She wore a Seven-Colored Rainbow Robe, her long hair cascaded like a waterfall, and she was enveloped by the Dao Rhyme of Creation and Destruction. Her face was exquisitely beautiful yet held a hint of indifference.

It was the Human Mother, the Demon Race's Wa Empress, the Heavenly Dao Sage Nuwa!

As soon as she appeared, she did not immediately look at Primordial Heavenly Venerate, nor did she look at the Myriad Human Race below.

Her eyes, which contained Creation Reincarnation, calmly swept over Laozi, then glanced at the grim-faced Primordial.

Finally, they landed on the figure in the green robe fluttering atop the Altar Peak.

Four eyes met.

Xuandu could clearly feel that there was no hostility in that gaze, nor any closeness.

There was only a detached indifference, overlooking all ages and standing beyond the mundane.

Nuwa's gaze lingered on him for a moment before moving away.

She did not speak immediately, but simply stood quietly on the auspicious clouds, Creation Immortal Light flowing around her, subtly confronting Laozi's Wu Wei Dao Rhyme and Primordial's Jade Purity Immortal Light.

The auras of the three Sages intertwined, the void cried out in sorrow, and the rules became chaotic.

The entire East Sea Coast seemed to be divided by three distinct yet equally supreme Saintly Might that overshadowed all things!

The Myriad Human Race below was already completely stunned.

The Three Ancestors, Suiren Shi, Youchao Shi, and Ziyi Shi, looked at the Seven-Colored Figure in the sky, their eyes instantly turning red, tears streaming down their faces.

She was the Holy Mother who created them!

She was the source of their faith for countless Years!

But at this moment, an indescribable complex emotion surged in their hearts.

There was excitement, reverence, and... a trace of unbearable sorrow.

Why... why did the Holy Mother not appear when the Demon Race slaughtered them?

Why did the Holy Mother not show mercy when they despaired and struggled?

Why did the Holy Mother only get forced out by the Heavenly Dao Sage Primordial precisely when Master Xuandu fought desperately to secure their survival?

Could it be that, just as Master Xuandu said, the Human Mother created them solely for the sake of becoming a Sage through Merit?

And once she achieved sainthood, she would discard them like worn-out shoes?

This thought appeared in the minds of the Three Ancestors and countless clansmen.

On the altar, Xuandu's heart was filled with awe.

Nuwa had finally been forced out by Yuanshi.

The attitude of this Human Mother would directly determine the final direction of today's situation!

If she also sided with Laozi and Yuanshi, with the Three Sages jointly applying pressure...

Even with Master Tongtian's support from behind, it would be impossible for him to continue teaching humans!

In fact, his own life might be in danger!

Just as Xuandu's thoughts raced, considering countermeasures.

Nuwa finally spoke slowly.

Her voice was clear and resonant, echoing in the depths of every living being's mind.

"Senior Brother Yuanshi."

She ignored Xuandu and did not look at the humans below. Her gaze calmly rested on Primordial Heavenly Venerate's face.

"What you just said involves too much karma."

Nuwa's tone was indifferent, revealing neither joy nor anger.

"I am the Human Mother. The grace of creation, and becoming a Sage through Merit, this is Heavenly Dao's Predetermined Number."

"The rise and fall of the human race have their own destiny. Although I am the Human Mother, I cannot forcefully interfere with the heavenly mandate."

As soon as these words were spoken, Primordial Heavenly Venerate's brow furrowed slightly, and Laozi's eyes flickered.

The humans below felt their hearts sink.

Is the Human Mother trying to distance herself?

Nuwa paused for a moment, but then her tone suddenly shifted!

Her gaze suddenly turned to Xuandu, then swept over the billions of eyes below, her voice carrying an irrefutable tone:

"However."

"What Xuandu just said also has its merits."

"The Dao Ancestor preached in Purple Heaven Palace to the Three Thousand Guests, teaching the method of Severing Three Corpses to achieve sainthood. We all listened intently and cultivated, which is how we attained our current Saint positions."

Nuwa's gaze was profound as (she) looked at Yuanshi, speaking each word with perfect clarity:

"The Dao Ancestor passing down the Dharma to his disciples is Just and Right."

"Xuandu has already accepted the Myriad Human Race as disciples, and the Master-Disciple Relationship is established."

"Therefore..."

(She) paused slightly, and amidst Yuanshi's suddenly ugly expression, slowly uttered the final sentence:

"He teaches his own disciples cultivation techniques, helps them cultivate, and protects their Dao Path..."

"What essential difference does this have from when the Dao Ancestor passed down the Dharma to us?"

"This is..."

Nuwa's voice suddenly rose, carrying the supreme Majesty of a Heavenly Dao Sage whose Words Follow Law:

"Master's Path Inheritance! Heavenly Dao Ethics!"

"How can it be Questioned by others?"

"Boom!!!"

Upon hearing this, the words resonated in the minds of every Great Power paying attention to this place!

In Biyou Palace, Sect Leader Tongtian was first stunned, then clapped his hands and laughed, his voice shaking the palace:

"Good! Well said! Master's Path Inheritance! Heavenly Dao Ethics! Hahaha!"

If (he) hadn't been apprehensive of the Dao Ancestor's attitude earlier, (he) would have appeared long ago.

Now it seemed, (he) didn't need to act, and this matter could be resolved.

Primordial Heavenly Venerate's face instantly turned ashen!

The Heavenly Celebration Cloud violently shook, auspicious energy in disarray, revealing the owner's immense rage!

(He) never expected!

That Nuwa not only didn't stand with him and Elder Brother to suppress Xuandu as he had predicted.

Instead... instead, (she) used Xuandu's previous question to counterattack him!

Directly elevating Xuandu Teaching Humans to the same height as the Dao Ancestor's preaching!

It even affixed the grand titles of Master's Path Inheritance and Heavenly Dao Ethics!

How could this be refuted?

Could one deny the Dao Ancestor's teaching?

Could one deny that master-disciple inheritance is an ironclad rule of the Great Wilderness?

Primordial Heavenly Venerate's chest heaved violently, Jade Purity Immortal Light surging around him, almost breaking free and erupting!

Beside him, Laozi's eyes, which had been closed, finally slowly opened.

He gazed deeply at Nuwa, the look of deduction in his eyes intensifying, yet he remained silent.

Nuwa's move, while seemingly supporting Xuandu, was actually... a way to extricate herself!

Primordial Heavenly Venerate had dragged her into the fray, forcing her to take a stance.

If she opposed Xuandu Teaching, she would be betraying the Human Race and undermining the foundation of her own Saintly position.

If she supported Xuandu Teaching, she would offend Primordial Heavenly Venerate and might even affect her relationship with Laozi.

Thus, she chose the most ingenious approach.

Using Xuandu's spear to attack Primordial Heavenly Venerate's shield!

You're using the Dao Ancestor as an example, aren't you?

Then I'll follow your lead!

If the Dao Ancestor can teach his disciples, then Xuandu can naturally teach his disciples!

This is Just and Right, this is Master's Path Ethics!

In this way, she neither explicitly opposed Xuandu, thus maintaining her karma with the Human Race.

Nor did she directly support Xuandu, avoiding complete opposition to Primordial Heavenly Venerate and Laozi.

Furthermore, she redirected all the focus of the conflict back to Xuandu, Primordial Heavenly Venerate, and Laozi!

Brilliant!

Truly brilliant!

As expected of Nuwa, who achieved Sainthood through the Path of Creation, her grasp and utilization of karma had reached the pinnacle!

At Altar Peak.

Xuandu's heart also trembled, and his gaze towards Nuwa instantly became incredibly complex.

He hadn't expected the Human Mother to extricate him in this manner at this very moment.

Rather than saying she was extricating him, it was more accurate to say she was extricating herself.

Nuwa had Created the Human Race, and thus was also blessed with Human Race Fortune.

Xuandu Teaching would make the Human Race powerful, which naturally brought more benefits to Nuwa.

After all, she had Created the Human Race, so whether Xuandu Teaching occurred or not had no bearing on her, unlike Laozi, who was the Sect Master of the Human Sect.

But no matter what, Nuwa's words undoubtedly provided him with an excellent way out!

An opportunity sufficient to break the stalemate and allow him to smoothly proceed with Teaching Humans!

Xuandu took a deep breath, suppressing the churning thoughts in his heart.

He knew the time had come!

He couldn't give Yuanshi and Laozi any more time to react!

He had to seize this opportunity and settle the matter decisively!
