Deceiving Nüwa Niangniang

Seeing that the person who had arrived was Nüwa Niangniang, Hong Ze's face instantly lost its angry expression, replaced by one of utmost respect.

This wasn't because Hong Ze was showing respect simply because Nüwa Niangniang was a Saint.

It was because Nüwa Niangniang was the Holy Mother of the Human Race, and even Hong Ze's current life was personally molded by Nüwa Niangniang.

Strictly speaking, it wouldn't be an exaggeration for Hong Ze to call Nüwa Niangniang "Mother."

Therefore, at this moment, Hong Ze not only had a look of utmost respect but also knelt and bowed to Nüwa Niangniang.

At the same time, he spoke, "Hong Ze greets the Holy Mother?"

Hearing the other party address her as Holy Mother instead of Saint, Nüwa Niangniang couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

Hong Ze was personally molded by her, so Nüwa Niangniang naturally wouldn't forget him, especially since Hong Ze was so special.

Nüwa Niangniang had once thought of keeping Hong Ze by her side, but later he was secretly taken in as a disciple by Master Tongtian.

Many innate members of the Human Race also became disciples of the Three Pure Ones, the most famous of whom was Grand Master Xuandu.

It was a pity that he was different from Hong Ze; every time he saw Nüwa Niangniang, he addressed her as Saint, not Holy Mother.

Although it sounded very respectful, it made Nüwa Niangniang feel uncomfortable in her heart.

After all, no mother would want her child to call her "Auntie."

Even if this mother wasn't entirely responsible, she would absolutely not want to hear such an address.

Now that Hong Ze called her Holy Mother, how could Nüwa Niangniang not be happy in her heart?

Immediately, she waved her hand at Hong Ze, directly helping him up.

At the same time, a hint of confusion couldn't help but appear on her face. "You are an innate member of the Human Race, created by this palace using its vital essence and blood. Why are you only at the True Immortal realm now?"

After all, Nüwa Niangniang clearly remembered that the innate members of the Human Race she created with her vital essence and blood were all at the Heavenly Immortal realm upon birth.

This meant that over tens of thousands of years, Hong Ze had only advanced by one major realm. How could this not surprise Nüwa Niangniang?

Moreover, Hong Ze was the direct eldest disciple of Master Tongtian and could enjoy the cultivation resources of the entire Jie Sect.

Hearing Nüwa Niangniang ask about his cultivation, Hong Ze also spoke with a helpless expression.

"To be honest with the Holy Mother, even this True Immortal cultivation was only achieved through a fortunate coincidence not long ago.

In other words, since I was created by the Holy Mother, for tens of thousands of years, my cultivation has not advanced by a single bit.

Even though Master has tried every method, and I have eaten countless spiritual fruits of heaven and earth, it has been equally useless."

Nüwa Niangniang was even more confused after hearing this. With a flash of her figure, she directly appeared before Hong Ze.

Nüwa Niangniang reached out and grabbed Hong Ze's wrist, immediately beginning to examine his body.

"Your meridians are clear, and your root bones are excellent. From every perspective, you should be a cultivation genius.

But the reality is completely the opposite. Not only are you not a genius, you are even a complete and utter waste.

Unless something unknown happened during these tens of thousands of years, this result is absolutely impossible."

At the same time, Hong Ze's mind was also rapidly working, thinking about how to pull Nüwa Niangniang onto his side.

The Investiture of the Gods calamity was initiated by Nüwa Niangniang, but Nüwa Niangniang was merely a pawn used by others, and she was unnecessarily entangled in the karma of the great calamity.

They say Saints do not involve themselves in karma, but is that truly the case?

Others might not know, but Hong Ze understood it perfectly. Of the three hundred and sixty-five righteous gods sealed on the Investiture of the Gods, even the God of Plague had temples built and statues erected for him.

However, fewer and fewer people worshipped Nüwa Niangniang, and it was even difficult to find a temple dedicated to her.

Even if Nüwa Niangniang, as a Saint, was not stained by karma, how could her current fate be explained?

Thinking about it, Nüwa Niangniang, like Master Tongtian, was a loser in the Investiture of the Gods calamity.

Moreover, if Nüwa Niangniang had helped, the situation where the Four Saints would attack the Immortal Slaying Array might not have actually occurred.

At that time, Nüwa Niangniang only needed to hold back Zhunti Daoist, which would result in the Four Saints being incomplete, and breaking the Immortal Slaying Array might not have been easy.

After thinking this through, he directly spoke to Nüwa Niangniang, saying, "Holy Mother, you don't need to worry about Hong Ze anymore.

Hong Ze's current predicament is only to blame on Hong Ze himself for being too curious. He touched something that Hong Ze shouldn't have touched."

Nüwa Niangniang became even more curious after hearing this, wishing she could understand right now what Hong Ze had touched.

They say curiosity killed the cat, but how much less is a woman's curiosity compared to a cat's?

Seeing that Nüwa Niangniang had developed a sense of curiosity, Hong Ze knew that his plan had achieved initial success.

Then he continued to mislead Nüwa Niangniang, saying, "I remember when I had just become a disciple of my Master, I accidentally touched the River of Fate of the Human Race.

Within the River of Fate of the Human Race is everything about the past, present, and future of the Human Race.

This is the entire future direction of the Human Race; even Saints cannot easily touch it.

But I touched it unknowingly and even obtained some information from it.

It is precisely because of this that I was cursed by the Heavenly Dao. My cultivation requires hundreds or even thousands of times more effort to improve than that of ordinary cultivators."

Nüwa Niangniang nodded repeatedly as she listened, and she didn't forget to ask probing questions.

"What exactly did you see in the River of Fate of the Human Race that caused you to receive such a severe curse from the Heavenly Dao?"

"Holy Mother, if I tell you these things that Holy Mother shouldn't know, will Holy Mother also be cursed by the Heavenly Dao?"

Seeing Hong Ze's worried expression, a smile couldn't help but appear on Nüwa Niangniang's lips.

"This palace is now a dignified Saint, an immortal and indestructible existence. How could I possibly be cursed by the Heavenly Dao? Just speak with confidence."

Hearing Nüwa Niangniang say this, Hong Ze let out a long sigh of relief. It was as if the heavy stone weighing on his heart had finally fallen.

"Since it won't implicate Holy Mother, today I will tell Holy Mother properly.

I saw two things in the River of Fate of the Human Race. The first is about Holy Mother.

The other matter concerns the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the Human Race, all the way to the last Human Emperor."

Hearing that this matter concerned herself, and even her brother Fuxi, who had just reincarnated, was related to the information Hong Ze had obtained.

This made Nüwa Niangniang even more impatient, and she directly spoke to Hong Ze.

"Tell me in detail, don't miss any of the details."

Hong Ze nodded repeatedly, "Then I'll first talk about what kind of ending the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors will ultimately face..."

Then Hong Ze embellished what he knew and told Nüwa Niangniang.

He described how the Three Sovereigns were trapped in Fire Cloud Cave and how the Five Emperors didn't even have a chance to enter reincarnation, making it sound incredibly vivid.

Nüwa Niangniang listened with tightly furrowed brows and clenched fists.
