Ten thousand years drifted by, and Nuwa attained sagehood (two chapters combined into one)
The most widespread explanation in Gungun's previous life for both races losing in the Witch-Demon Calamity was that the Heavenly Dao wanted the Witch Race and Demon Race to make way for the Human Race. But after transmigrating to the Primordial World, Gungun had always found that explanation rather absurd. Why did it have to be the Human Race?
