Yu Xiaogang, who had witnessed everything from beside them, was red-eyed with envy.
The Holy Mother and all that no longer held any appeal.
"Damn it, why doesn't my family have Demon Race blood? I want to worship Empress Wa too."
"No, there are still books in the family collection I haven't read. I need to find a chance to go home and check."
"Maybe my family has Dragon Clan blood? Then Nuwa and I would be of the same race."
Many thoughts ran through Yu Xiaogang's mind.
The others had also been led astray by Tang Hao and Tang San's words, and all looked at Tang San enviously.
"San, don't forget me when you make it big."
After Tang Hao's analysis of whether she was closer to the Demon Race or the Human Race, the Blue Tyrant Academy group's reverence for Nuwa had unwittingly diminished considerably.
Tang San basked in everyone's envy and said,
"Don't worry. The Human Race must have other mighty beings too. As long as we keep watching the livestream, we'll definitely discover them."
They exchanged glances. Even humans had been created by Nuwa. However close other mighty beings were to them, how much closer could they be?
"Ah, forget it, forget it. I wonder if I could find a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Since I can't be part of the Demon Race, I'll let my son be one."
Listening to their conversation, Tang San gave a disdainful snort.
Only Daddy and I deserve to be with Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts. You're all dreaming yourselves blind.
The Primordial World.
After the images in Qian Renxue's and Di Tian's minds faded, they did not wake up.
Instead, they arrived in a simple, unadorned palace, with a faint fragrance spreading through the air.
"This is..."
Qian Renxue and Di Tian exchanged wary looks.
"Hey, children."
A familiar voice rang in their ears.
"Qian Renxue of the Human Race pays her respects to Goddess Nüwa."
"Di Tian of the Demon Race kowtows before Her Majesty Empress Wa."
They hurriedly saluted. Neither had imagined that Goddess Nüwa would summon them here.
"Dispense with the formalities, dispense with them. You two children just came to the Primordial World from outside. Tell me, does your world have anything fun?"
The voice was as gentle as ever, yet carried a hint of impatient excitement. In any case, it lacked the maternal quality Qian Renxue had always felt before.
She was quite different from the Goddess Nüwa they had imagined, and her question was quite difficult too.
"Anything fun?"
Qian Renxue had been undercover in Heaven Dou since childhood. When had she ever had time to play? Di Tian was even less worth mentioning.
"Interesting stories or fiction would do too. I'm so bored. Anything that passes the time will do."
Qian Renxue's eyes lit up. She seemed to understand what this Holy Mother wanted and hastily took several books from her Storage Bag.
"Goddess Nüwa, might these things interest you?"
The moment she finished speaking, the books vanished.
In a room somewhere beyond Qian Renxue's sight, comics, novels, and other things lay scattered in a mess.
An exquisitely beautiful figure reclined on a couch, holding the books Qian Renxue had just taken out.
Nuwa opened the first book.
"Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul? What the hell is this?"
Nuwa merely glanced casually into the void and saw through the rules of the Douluo Continent.
"The humans I created were quite clever. How did they become so stupid after reaching a small world? Something riddled with mistakes can actually get published?"
Nuwa rubbed her head. She truly could not be bothered to study those small worlds' cultivation rules. They were all trash.
But this was the first time something had disgusted her so much.
Wait, that Flat-top seemed to be quite envious of the Demon Race too?
"Hmph, plenty of people disrespect me. All living things have countless thoughts, each with their own affinities and paths. I don't care. But you're the only one who's thrust himself in front of me to disgust me. I'll grant your wish right now."
With a thought from Nuwa, nothing changed, yet some sort of change seemed to have occurred.
Then Nuwa casually tossed the books aside. Qian Renxue's hands grew heavy in the front hall, and she saw that the books she had just sent over had been returned.
There was even an extra one.
"It's all trash. Even in your world, it's trash. This is what you give me to read?"
"I'll give you a book I read. Take a good look at what a good book is."
Nuwa mercilessly criticized the books Qian Renxue had brought and gave her one from her own collection.
Qian Renxue broke into an embarrassed sweat.
"Please forgive me, Goddess Nüwa. Thank you for bestowing this book upon me. Your faithful devotee will study it carefully."
It's my fault I couldn't entertain her. Qian Renxue did not want to let this chance to speak with Goddess Nüwa slip away. It might be her only chance.
Then inspiration struck, and her newly enlightened mind began to work.
"Goddess, our world also has a Soul Master Tournament, with arena matches. It's very lively."
Hope colored Qian Renxue's voice. This really was the most interesting thing she could think of.
But the result disappointed her.
"I've seen plenty of competitions too. Boring."
Nuwa's utterly bored voice rang out. After a pause, perhaps because Qian Renxue was one of the rare humans blessed with great fortune, she added,
"Oh, fine. Go back and give it some more thought. If the competition is interesting, it's not out of the question."
As Nuwa's words fell, Qian Renxue's vision blurred, and she was back on Flower-Fruit Mountain.
"Oh? The goddess even gave you a book?"
Nezha glanced at Qian Renxue.
"It's all thanks to her favor..."
As she spoke, Qian Renxue looked at the book in her hands. But one look at the cover made her pupils contract sharply.
"Reborn as a Sweeper in the Heavenly Court: The All-Powerful Great Heavenly Venerable Begs for My Love Every Day, Unable to Escape His Obsession"
Author: Moon Goddess Wangshu
Inspiration: Queen Mother of the West, Demon Consort Xihe, Changxi
With a smack, quick as a flash, Qian Renxue covered the title, even going so far as to expend a wisp of merit to conceal the cover.
Di Tian, who was craning his neck with an envious expression to sneak a peek, jumped in fright.
This isn't something I can read!
An explosive cry rang through Qian Renxue's mind. She wished she were blind.
In Goddess Nüwa's hands, this was a novel. In hers, it was a family register. The Great Heavenly Venerable could kill her whole family one by one, and there would not be the slightest fault to find.
She certainly did not dare read it. Qian Renxue had already decided to enshrine the book and let the Great Heavenly Venerable and Goddess Nüwa fight it out.
"Goddess Nüwa above, this junior of the Human Race, Qian Renxue, has felt your love."
This scene left the Douluo Continent's viewers frantic.
"What book is it? Why cover it up so we can't see?"
"The suspense is killing me! It must be an incredibly powerful divine ability."
"That's my guess too. Even if it's a novel, it's a novel Goddess Nüwa reads. It definitely isn't ordinary."
"Could reading it make you an immortal?"
Many people stared intently at the book in Qian Renxue's hands.
Spirit Hall.
Firecrackers sounded again.
"Wonderful! That's my Xue'er! A personal gift from Goddess Nüwa! Hahaha, Heaven blesses Xue'er! Heaven blesses Spirit Hall!"
Qian Daoliu was almost mad with joy.
Blue Tyrant Academy.
"Damn it, how is she so lucky? One good thing after another."
Tang San was nearly dying of anger.
"Oink~"
Yu Xiaogang was just about to speak when he suddenly let out a pig's squeal. But he quickly returned to normal, and no one noticed or cared.
"How selfish, covering it up so no one can see. Just what you'd expect from Spirit Hall's young master. Selfish through and through. Oink~"
Yu Xiaogang was filled with righteous indignation. His nose felt itchy, and he instinctively sniffed, letting out another half-squeal.
He did not notice that his ears were much larger than before. He only felt an itch around his tailbone and reached back to scratch it.
The others did not notice Yu Xiaogang's changes either. After all, they were not yet obvious.
The Primordial World.
"This humble god thanks you, Great God Nezha."
After putting away Nuwa's gift, Qian Renxue went to thank Nezha.
It was because of Nezha that she had gained the chance to speak to Goddess Nüwa. Besides, put another way, she and Nezha shared the same origin.
"Just don't come bothering me."
Nezha waved magnanimously.
"Yes. This humble god guarantees that no one will disturb Great God Nezha and the Great Sage Equal to Heaven."
Qian Renxue was about to leave with Di Tian. She still had to think about the Soul Master Tournament.
She had understood Goddess Nüwa's meaning. If she could make it interesting, Goddess Nüwa might actually be interested in watching.
Then she would truly have forged a favorable connection with Goddess Nüwa.
But this was a real headache. Goddess Nüwa's knowledge and experience were far beyond hers, and where could she find fellow Douluo natives who had ascended to the Primordial World?
Everyone's martial souls were gone too. How could they compete?
If she could not make it interesting, it would be better not to hold it. At least she would not disappoint Goddess Nüwa.
With a thousand tangled threads of thought running through her mind, Qian Renxue was overwhelmed with worry.
Before Qian Renxue could figure anything out, an auspicious cloud interrupted her thoughts.
"More visitors?"
Qian Renxue hurried forward with Di Tian.
There were two newcomers. One was a woman, lavishly dressed, carrying a faint, indescribable air of authority. Although she had no divine might, she looked extraordinary.
This is a powerful immortal, one outside the Heavenly Court.
Qian Renxue made that judgment at a glance, then looked at the other person.
Yang Jian held the Golden Bow and Silver Bullets, with a dog on a leash and an eagle on his arm. Dressed in ordinary robes, he looked effortlessly dashing. If Qian Renxue had not recognized him, she would have thought he was some fine young man out with a beauty to shoot birds for fun.
"This humble god greets the Justice Heavenly God. I must also thank you for recommending me to the Great Heavenly Venerable."
