"Damn it!"
"Nuwa actually had such an opportunity?!"
Yuanshi spoke with resentment written all over his face.
Everything that happened today had exceeded both their expectations.
Originally, Laozi and Yuanshi had planned to wait until the calamity annihilated a few more living beings before stepping in to quell earth, water, fire, and wind and restore the Primordial World Heaven and Earth.

In other words, however furious or unwilling the two of them were, all they could do was rage impotently. It would change nothing.
Of course, Laozi did not know that the Qiankun Cauldron had also played a part in Nuwa's successful
