"We pay our respects to the Mother Goddess!" The statue suddenly shone with divine light and spoke, stunning every member of the Human Race. Then, overjoyed, they all knelt and bowed, calling out with utmost reverence.
As for Gungun, he looked at Nuwa's statue nearby, then at all the humans kneeling around him. The next moment...
Bang! The earth shook violently as the entire bear flopped onto the ground, shouting, "I pay my respects to Saint Nuwa, the compassionate and merciful lady of boundless merit!"
Everyone in the Human Race: "..."
In the Wa Emperor Palace in Taisu Heaven, Nuwa's lips twitched slightly at the sight. After more than ninety thousand years apart, this fat bear... was still the same.
"Everyone, rise. Gungun, since you've gone to the Human Race, look after them a little on my behalf. There will be benefits for you in the future." Nuwa shook her head before speaking.
Her voice came from the statue.
"Yes, this little bear shall respectfully obey your sacred decree," Gungun answered reverently.
"Mm." Then the statue's light vanished.
Knowing he could get up now, Gungun climbed off the ground and shook his ursine body, shaking off the dust.
Feng Ling and the other humans rose one after another as well.
"Chief Feng Ling, the Saint has spoken. She told you to accept these fruit seedlings, so please stop standing on ceremony with me," Gungun told her after she rose.
"All right. Thank you, my friend. Also, do you... know our Mother Goddess?" Feng Ling nodded and asked Gungun.
"Uh, yes."
"How long have you known her?"
"More than two hundred thousand years, I suppose."
"..." Hearing that answer, Feng Ling fell silent. After a long while, she stepped back twice and bowed with her hands clasped.
