Being a Human, the Most Important Thing is Happiness

The Merit from the Creation of Humans was vast and boundless, shaking the entire Hong Huang and naturally drawing the attention of those present.

"Elder Brother, with such a massive ball of Merit, Junior Sister Nu Wa should be able to Prove Dao, right?" Yuanshi said enviously.

Tongtian didn't argue with Yuanshi this time. Instead, he looked at Nu Wa and couldn't help but sigh, "Indeed. I didn't expect Junior Sister Nu Wa to be ahead of us! The first Saint in Hong Huang will surely be like Pangu Father God, remembered for eternity."

Taishang pondered for a moment and slowly said, "Yes, if my observation is correct, Fellow Daoist Nu Wa is only one step away from Proving Dao."

"So soon?!" Yuanshi and Tongtian exclaimed in unison.

Although they had a sense of it in their hearts, they were indeed not as good as Taishang when it came to seeking the Dao, so they weren't entirely sure which step she had reached.

Who in Hong Huang didn't want to become a Saint?

"All below the Saint realm are but ants." Hong Jun had told them this hundreds of thousands of times, nagging them about it almost every time he saw them.

It had made all of them desperate to become Saints.

Hong Jun had also told them that the three paths to becoming a Saint each had their own advantages and disadvantages, but they all led to the same destination, with no distinction in rank.

As Nu Wa's nominal elder brothers, the five of them had already fallen behind. Now that they had lost face and pride, their desire to become Saints became even more urgent.

However, they didn't know that from the moment Hong Jun began teaching them the path to becoming a Saint, he had already set a trap, waiting for them to fall into it.

Taishang looked at Nu Wa, lost in thought.

He always felt that proving Dao through Merit seemed a bit too simple!

The difficulty of him severing his self-corporeal corpse was greater than this!

Could it be that the path of laws I chose is inherently too difficult?

Taishang looked at Nu Wa and decided to find time to visit Wa Huang Palace to seek her guidance.

Jieyin and Zhunti were also drawn by the Merit descending from the heavens.

Zhunti looked enviously at the sky full of Merit and sighed repeatedly, "Nu Wa truly has great fortune. With so much Merit, if it were to descend upon our Western lands, perhaps the West would become as rich in talent and spirit as the East."

"Yes, if our West could have a few more powerful beings like Nu Wa, the situation would definitely improve," Jieyin agreed enviously.

As they spoke, the two of them simultaneously turned their gaze to Liu Mang. As if sensing something, they exchanged a look and smiled at each other.

The scene shifted.

Nu Wa looked at the Merit hanging in the sky, which had yet to descend. She knew it was because the beings she had created were not enough.

She felt a constant urge to create more beings, but her weakened Primordial Spirit warned her that continuing would severely damage her, possibly even ruining her foundation.

The desire to create humans seems to be driven by the Heavenly Dao. Could this be Hong Jun's scheme?

Nu Wa felt a wave of panic. She had been prepared for Hong Jun to make a move, but she hadn't expected to be ensnared before he even showed himself.

Huh? Didn't Nu Wa create humans by dipping a gourd vine into the Three Lights Divine Water and Nine Heavens Breathing Soil and flinging it out? Why is she still pinching them one by one?

Just as Nu Wa was at a loss, Liu Mang's thoughts sounded out again.

"It can be done like this? Will this work?" Nu Wa hadn't considered it. With a mindset of trying anything, Nu Wa took out the Innate Gourd Vine.

She dipped the gourd vine into a clump of Breathing Soil, waved her arm, and let the gourd vine pass through the Three Lights Divine Water. Nu Wa then used the Power of Creation and flung it.

Immediately, tens of thousands of beings were born.

The gourd vine was something she had casually collected when she gathered the Breathing Soil earlier. She hadn't expected it to be so useful here.

Seeing that this method was effective and barely consumed any of her Primordial Spirit, even having a nourishing effect on it, Nu Wa was overjoyed. A smile appeared on her face as she continuously swung her arms.

Yes! This is how humans should be created!

Whoa, this person's face is huge, why does it look a bit like Teacher Yue? Great-great-grandfather?!

Haha, this sister has really developed chest muscles! Truly gifted!

Huh, this brother is over 2 meters tall, right? Send him to the Witch Tribe as a spy when there's time!

Just as Liu Mang was commenting, a voice interrupted him.

"E-Elder Brother!"

"Holy crap, Big Brother, where did you just go? Where did you suddenly pop out from?" Liu Mang exclaimed, startled, looking at Xuan Du who had suddenly spoken beside him.

I've been here the whole time, never moved! That old man has been staring at me for ages, smiling one moment and looking serious the next. I was too scared to move!

Xuan Du looked at Liu Mang with a dark expression and decided not to bother with him for now!

"Second Brother, the Holy Mother is about to become a Saint, right? She's smiling so happily!"

Liu Mang rubbed his chin and said confidently, "You don't understand this! Let me tell you, why is she smiling? It's because, when you're a person, the most important thing is to be happy!"

Nu Wa, Xuan Du (and others): "..."

I thought you had some profound insight. We've all taken off our pants, and this is it?

Nu Wa's hands trembled upon hearing this. If the gourd vine hadn't already been covered in Breathing Soil, she would have already swung it at Liu Mang!

I shouldn't have asked you!

Xuan Du was speechless. As expected of his good Second Brother, there was no one else in the entire Hong Huang with such a thought process!

Xuan Du saw that Liu Mang wasn't speaking truthfully, so he didn't press further about the Creation of Humans. Instead, he secretly asked, "Second Brother, does that old man have designs on me? He's been staring at me since he arrived!"

Liu Mang followed the direction of Xuan Du's fingertip and saw Taishang smiling at the two of them.

"It looks like he's taken a liking to him and is preparing to take Xuan Du as a disciple."

Liu Mang rejoiced inwardly. As expected, the position of the main disciple of the Xuanmen was now out of his hands.

To hell with a peaceful and inactive life, and the tattered immortal beauties of Hong Huang! Liu Mang is here to save you all!

Liu Mang was ecstatic inwardly, but then he remembered that Taishang taking Xuan Du as a disciple and teaching him the Path of Ruthlessness would indirectly cause Xuan Du to ignore the matters of the Human Race, which made him furious.

Especially during the Witch-Demon War, when the Human Race was slaughtered and refined into the Witch Slaying Sword, these two, one a Saint of the Human Dao and the other the progenitor of the Human Race, chose to turn a blind eye and a deaf ear.

Liu Mang decided to thoroughly disgust Taishang and, at the same time, see if he could persuade Xuan Du to abandon the Path of Ruthlessness.

His backing was strong now anyway, so he could afford to be a bit reckless.

Liu Mang's eyes swept back and forth between the two. "Big Brother, he definitely has a thing for you!"

Taishang heard Liu Mang's words and thought that although Liu Mang was lively, his judgment was not bad.

He never expected Liu Mang's next sentence to make Taishang fall from the void.

"Why don't you just go along with him! And besides..."

"Impudent child, shut your mouth!"

Taishang, who always valued peace and inaction, couldn't help but roar.

What the hell, go along with him! I just want to take him as a disciple.

If you keep talking, I won't be able to wash myself clean even if I jump into the Three Lights Divine Water!

How will I walk in Hong Huang! Don't you see how everyone here is looking at me differently?

Di Jun and Di Jiang looked utterly satisfied. This is the feeling!

So I'm not the only one who's hurt!

Sensing each other's state, the two exchanged glances and suddenly felt a sense of camaraderie.

If not for the inappropriate occasion and their opposing factions, they might have found a place to pour out their hearts to each other.

"Tch, fine, if you don't want me to say it, I won't. Why are you yelling so loud!"

Liu Mang grumbled indifferently, then pulled Xuan Du aside and whispered.

"Big Brother, you need to be careful when you encounter old men like this in Hong Huang!"
