"After all, the hatred between the human race and the demon race cannot be reconciled."
Hearing this, Nüwa slowly lowered her head. "Wudao, must I make a choice?"
"That's right!"
Nüwa, what choice would you make? If you chose the demon race, then I, Ling Wudao, would have misjudged you. But if you chose the human race, I would not mind helping you break free from Hongjun's schemes.
It would not be impossible to even give you the position of Lord of Human Dao in the future. It all depended on what choice you made.
At this moment, Nüwa faced the choice between the demon race and the human race, and she was deeply troubled.
The demon race currently possessed immense fortune. If she abandoned them, she would lose a great deal of fortune's support. The human race, however, had been created by her own hand. They believed in her and would never betray her.
Compared to the demon race, choosing the human race was the better option. With Ling Wudao leading them, the human race would only surpass the demon race and become even stronger in the future.
But her elder brother was also the Demon Emperor. It seemed unlikely that he would abandon the demon race. Yet if she simply ignored her elder brother, she would inevitably offend Ling Wudao in the future.
At that thought, Nüwa's head began to ache. If she had been alone, she would certainly have chosen the human race.
"Wudao, if it were only me, I would definitely choose the human race. But my elder brother will be difficult to handle. If he insists on remaining with the demon race, then I will become his enemy in the future."
"Nüwa Empress, this is actually quite easy to resolve. Fuxi did not participate in the human race's great calamity, and if he dares remain with the demon race, can't you just whip him?"
"The Man-Making Whip and Seven Stars Retrieving Moon Whip in your hands are both excellent tools for whipping people."
"If Fuxi refuses to listen, just capture him and whip him once. Nothing cannot be resolved with a beating. If one beating is not enough, then give him two. Whip him until he obeys."
Nüwa was startled by his words, but after thinking it over, she realized that it was indeed true.
"Your words have reminded me. In that case, I shall renounce my identity as a member of the demon race now, then bring my elder brother over to the human race."
Ling Wudao smiled faintly. He had not expected that a single reminder would make Nüwa decide so quickly. It seemed she had wanted to whip her elder brother for a long time!
"There is no rush to leave the demon race. Is Fuxi currently in the demon race's Heavenly Court?"
"No. My elder brother has recently been cultivating at Buzhou Mountain. Unless something major happens within the demon race, he will not emerge from seclusion."
"I see. Then this will be easy. Nüwa Empress, first move Nüwa Palace to Shouyang Mountain, then go bring Fuxi here. After that, everything will be simple."
"Very well. I shall first move Nüwa Palace here. The spiritual energy at Shouyang Mountain is exceptionally abundant, making it quite suitable as a cultivation ground."
As soon as she finished speaking, Nüwa vanished from where she stood.
Watching Nüwa leave, Ling Wudao turned to look at Tongtian Sect Leader beside him.
"Tongtian Sect Leader, do you know why I asked you to come here with Nüwa, and even allowed you to learn some things about me?"
"If my guess is correct, you wish to win me over, do you not?"
"I do indeed wish to win you over to the human race's side, but there is another reason as well."
"As for that reason, I do not think I should be the one to tell you. Rather, you should let yourself tell you."
After saying that, Ling Wudao took out a Golden Talisman and sent it before Tongtian.
Looking at the Golden Talisman before him, Tongtian seemed to realize something. "I see. Rather than having you tell me about the future, it would be better to let my Future Self tell me everything."
"This method is indeed quite ingenious."
Ling Wudao laughed freely. "This is both my plan and my means of winning you over. But I believe you will use it. After all, the fate of the Three Pure Ones and the Intercepting Sect rests entirely on you. Whether you use it is your own decision."
"Consider this my return gift for your help in aiding the human race."
"Do not let anyone know of our conversation today, including Taiqing and Yuanshi. In the end, they are not on the same path as you."
"If you wish to use this talisman, simply conceal the heavenly secrets before activating it."
Upon hearing this, Tongtian nodded slightly.
"I understand. But does using this talisman require any special method?"
"No. You only need to pour your own mana into the talisman."
"Very well. In that case, I shall return to Golden Turtle Island first. If you have time, young friend, you may visit my Golden Turtle Island at any time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tongtian transformed into a streak of light and flew toward Golden Turtle Island.
Watching Tongtian depart, the corners of Ling Wudao's lips rose slightly.
He believed Tongtian would certainly summon his Future Self, and he had subtly hinted at it just now. Once Tongtian learned the whole truth, he would definitely come looking for him.
When that time came, even if Ling Wudao did not win Tongtian over, Tongtian would take the initiative to join him.
After all, the Three Pure Ones' split, the destruction of the Intercepting Sect, and his own imprisonment in Zixiao Palace—each and every one of these would be enough to make him seek Ling Wudao's help.
Having dealt with Tongtian's matter, Ling Wudao flew down toward the foot of Shouyang Mountain. After all, he was now the Human Emperor, and he needed to personally arrange the human race's affairs.
Before long, he arrived at the foot of the mountain. Seeing the Three Ancestors leading the clansmen in clearing the battlefield, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Three Human Ancestors, are you all right?"
Hearing this, the Three Ancestors turned to look at Ling Wudao. "Wudao, we are fine!"
"It is only that too many of our clansmen were killed or injured. Without a long period of recuperation, we fear we will not recover."
"By the way, where is the Holy Mother? Were you not with the Holy Mother?"
Hearing Suirenshi's question, Ling Wudao said solemnly, "Her Ladyship has returned to move her cultivation ground to Shouyang Mountain. From now on, Her Ladyship will guard everyone here at Shouyang Mountain."
Upon hearing this, the Three Ancestors all revealed delighted expressions.
Youchaoshi said, "That is wonderful. With the Holy Mother stationed at Shouyang Mountain, we will have plenty of time to recover and multiply. But we currently lack suitable cultivation techniques. It will likely be difficult for us to protect ourselves in the future."
"Though we have the Holy Mother's protection, we must become stronger ourselves. I do not wish to experience the demon race slaughtering our human race ever again."
The Three Ancestors had finally awakened to the truth. The human race needed to strive for self-improvement and could not rely on anyone. Only by becoming strong themselves would they avoid being bullied by other races.
"Human Ancestors, I will find a way regarding cultivation techniques. For now, we must focus on recovery and growth. More than half our clansmen have been lost. I fear it will take at least a hundred years before we can recover."
"I will set up another barrier within the human race's territory. Then, once Her Ladyship arrives at Shouyang Mountain, I plan to travel through the Great Desolation for a time, seeking heavenly and earthly treasures to help everyone become stronger."
As soon as he said this, the Three Ancestors all cried out, "No!"
