Everyone present froze at Nuwa's words.
Holy shit, you could do that?
They had thought the position of Human Emperor had nothing to do with them, but now it seemed otherwise.
At the very least, Hongjun had said that whoever assumed the position of Human Emperor could no longer remain connected to their former faction.
But their memories would awaken sooner or later.
And Nuwa could hardly leave Fuxi without her care.
Besides, Nuwa had created the Human Race herself. No one could object to her claiming the position of Teacher of the Heavenly Sovereign.
"I'm taking the position of Teacher of the Heavenly Sovereign. Divide the rest among yourselves."
Nuwa declared it with absolute authority.
Laozi and the others were torn when they heard this.
The Heavenly Sovereign carried the most providence, accounting for a full third of that belonging to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
Nuwa was taking the lion's share all for herself.
Laozi was just about to argue for more.
But then Nuwa spoke again.
"What, does someone have an objection? If you think this won't do, then I won't take the position."
Nuwa looked perfectly agreeable.
Laozi, Yuanshi, Zhunti, and Jieyin all brightened at once.
Such a wonderful opportunity? If that was the case, wouldn't they get a larger share of the providence?
"Excellent! Saint Nuwa is truly righteous. We admire you deeply. We of the West are willing to relieve Saint Nuwa of this burden."
"In that case, the position of Teacher of the Heavenly Sovereign should belong to the Western Teachings."
Zhunti and Jieyin immediately climbed the pole her words had offered them.
"Pah! Even if Nuwa doesn't want the position of Teacher of the Heavenly Sovereign, it still belongs to our East! What does it have to do with you two?"
