Everyone turned to look at Nuwa. Create life?
Though it seemed somewhat novel, no one found it particularly strange.
Whether it was the Ancestral Witches, Red Cloud, or Zhen Yuanzi, creating the Witch Clan or enlightening living beings was, in their eyes, creating life, was it not?
What puzzled them was why Nuwa had asked Wu Chu this.
They did not know that Nuwa's Creation Dao differed greatly from creating the Witch Clan or enlightening living beings. The Witches created by the Ancestral Witches were products formed from their own essence blood fused with the earth's baleful qi. Once they died, everything returned to heaven and earth.
Enlightening living beings meant allowing them to awaken their spiritual intelligence and possess independent thoughts. Yet before being enlightened, those beings already had their own lives. Even a wisp of wind had life—from the rising wind to the calming wind, that was a wind's life.
Nuwa's Creation Dao, however, created life with souls from nothing. When life faded, the soul could still return to the Netherworld. Powerful souls could even transform into ghosts.
Houtu would transform herself into reincarnation because she could not bear to see those ghosts wandering the world—either suffering with nowhere to turn or harming living beings. That was why she became reincarnation, to take in those departed souls.
Wu Chu smiled. "Of course it's a good thing! Though the Primordial World has countless races, aside from the Witch Clan, all others were born from heaven and earth. If you can create another race, then regardless of how that race helps the Primordial Land, the Great Dao you comprehend will be an immense supplement to the incomplete laws of the Primordial World. How could it be a bad thing?"
"Creating life... is this Senior Sister's Dao?"
Red Cloud sighed softly,
