"Good, what a fine lad!"
"I knew I had not misjudged him!"
Even Nuwa, serene by nature and aloof from worldly strife, was moved.
At that moment, her face flushed slightly as she murmured to herself in excitement.
An astonishing radiance shone in her eyes as she gazed toward Mount Shu.
Earlier, even she had thought that Laozi would plunder most of the Humans' fortune.
She had never expected the winding mountain path to open onto such a sudden turn.
Gu Changqing seemed utterly drunk, yet his outrageous maneuvers had left Laozi and Xuandu empty-handed.
The divine might displayed by the Kongtong Seal, in particular, had left even Nuwa marveling.
Only after a long while did she rein in her excitement and joy.
"The Kongtong Seal anchors the Humans' fortune, and it also nourishes them in return."
"Only now can the Humans truly overturn the fate they once suffered..."
Nuwa's voice was filled with emotion.
To all living beings, the Kongtong Seal had merely eclipsed the three sacred artifacts in Laozi's hands.
But as a Sage, Nuwa perceived things far more clearly.
At that moment, while anchoring the Humans' fortune, the Kongtong Seal also poured forth vast, majestic streams of sacred energy that descended upon them.
Nurtured by that energy, every Human was undergoing an imperceptible transformation.
Clearly, this was the true meaning of a supreme Human treasure.
The Kongtong Seal had never existed to seize the Humans' fortune without reason.
Instead, it allowed the Humans to reap immense benefits as well.
Thus, the Humans themselves could continually grow stronger, their fortune flourishing.
As the leader of Mount Shu, Ji Ren could also enjoy the blessings that fortune returned.
Even Gu Changqing, Nuwa, and the others likewise received the Humans' reverence.
It offered a wealth of advantages, benefiting every side.
