Nu Wa Proves Dao, Hong Huang's First Saint

Liu Mang was unaware that Yuanshi had been staring at him for a long time.

Although Yuanshi didn't know what Liu Mang was looking at, judging by his shifty eyes, he could tell Liu Mang wasn't up to anything good.

Yuanshi couldn't help but sigh, "What a fine person, why did he have to grow a pair of eyes."

The serious-looking Liu Mang was indeed a rare handsome young man in Hong Huang. With sword-like eyebrows, starry eyes, and a chiseled nose, coupled with a dashing and heroic appearance, he was truly a dashing young man.

It's just that this handsome young man, possessing the looks of Erlang Shen (played by Jiao Enjun), often had the eyes of Howling Celestial Dog. It was quite off-putting, wasn't it?

As the first Human Race created by Nu Wa, Liu Mang had taken a lot of her effort. Both in terms of care and materials, he could be considered top-tier.

It's just that Liu Mang always had a rogue-like demeanor, either taking advantage of others or being on his way to do so.

He didn't embody the aura of a handsome young man in Hong Huang at all; instead, he had the complete swagger of a street punk.

Yuanshi not only disliked such a Liu Mang but also looked down on him. However, for the sake of Proving Dao, Yuanshi couldn't afford to be so picky.

He, Yuanshi, would endure this grievance!

Yuanshi thought to himself, "If all else fails, I'll take him as a disciple first and then slowly train him. The worst-case scenario would be expelling him from my sect!"

In any case, he definitely couldn't let things continue as they were now; Yuanshi couldn't afford to lose face like this.

Although Yuanshi knew that Jieyin and Zhunti were also determined to get Liu Mang, he believed that if he made a move, they wouldn't dare to say anything.

He, Yuanshi, was not like Kunpeng or Hong Yun; he wouldn't yield what he shouldn't, and he would fight to the death if necessary.

Even if a fight broke out, Yuanshi wouldn't be afraid. If all else failed, he would unleash his third brother.

At this moment, on the other side, where Nu Wa was creating humans.

Nu Wa was already surrounded by countless newly created humans kneeling around her. Looking into the distance, they were dense and formed a continuous expanse, stretching beyond the horizon.

The boundless Merit, which had been brewing for a long time, revolved around the eye of the storm like a typhoon, with Nu Wa at its very center.

As the Merit gathered, becoming denser and thicker, Nu Wa's entire body was also dyed golden yellow. Every circulation of a law caused the Merit above her head to churn incessantly.

Even the gourd vine in Nu Wa's hand, used for creating humans, was shimmering with golden light, nurtured by the power of Merit.

Nu Wa was seen using the gourd vine to scoop up the last clump of Breathing Soil from the stone platform, then immersing the Breathing Soil in the Three Lights Divine Water. Afterward, Nu Wa waved the gourd vine in her hand, and one hundred and eight thousand humans grew with the wind and sprang to life upon landing.

The newly born humans had reached the number of ten Huiyuan, which was 1.296 million people.

However, compared to the three thousand humans Nu Wa personally molded, the remaining humans were far inferior in both physique and aptitude.

Nu Wa seemed to feel she had reached a limit and stopped her movements, closing her eyes tightly.

All the beings created by Nu Wa seemed to sense this and bowed to Nu Wa in unison, including Liu Mang and Xuan Du. They spoke with one voice:

"Thank you, Holy Mother, for the grace of creation."

The voices of the Human Race were not loud, but together they sounded like ten thousand thunders, spreading to every corner of Hong Huang.

Just as some beings in Hong Huang were wondering who the Holy Mother was, a voice immediately sounded in their ears:

"Human Race, established!" Nu Wa opened her eyes and looked at the bowing Human Race with a gentle gaze, slowly saying.

As soon as Nu Wa finished speaking, the Heavenly Dao manifested.

The next moment, all beings in Hong Huang knew that another race had been added to Hong Huang, the Human Race created by Nu Wa.

Concurrently, the Merit that had been brewing for a long time in Nu Wa's location, as if receiving a command, descended with the Dao rhythm that suppressed the eight directions.

Eighty percent of the Merit fell upon Nu Wa, ten percent upon the Human Race, and the remaining ten percent was distributed among the onlookers and objects present.

Everyone was surprised to receive Merit just by witnessing Nu Wa's Proving Dao. Clearly, the Heavenly Dao considered them to have contributed to protecting the Dao.

Although the Merit was not much, everyone was beaming with joy. After all, the order of Hong Huang was not yet established, and the rules had not been laid out. Obtaining Merit was like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Some items, such as the creation stone platform and the gourd vine, also received a portion of the Merit.

Compared to these, Nu Wa was the most eye-catching.

As the Merit descended, Nu Wa was enveloped in a massive golden light, as if she were the center of heaven and earth. An infinite aura erupted, sweeping out in all directions.

The heavens and earth changed color, time and space stagnated, and the world trembled.

Under this pressure, all beings in the Hong Huang world couldn't help but tremble.

Although they all knew this pressure was not directed at them, they just wanted to tremble, like shaking their legs, involuntarily.

This aura even made the three-corpse Quasi-Saints turn their heads. It was indescribably powerful, causing them to tremble uncontrollably.

The crowd that had gathered around Nu Wa was already pushed thousands of miles away by the aura she unleashed.

Even when they transformed into their true forms, they had to exert all their strength just to withstand this might.

"Could this be the might of a Saint?" Yuanshi looked at Nu Wa in the distance, his eyes burning even hotter.

Under this pressure, even though he was now in the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint, he still felt like an ant.

Tongtian held the Qingping Sword, standing at the forefront, his eyes ablaze with fighting spirit.

The Ancestor Witches had recovered their original bodies, each exceeding a hundred meters in size. Some of the Ten Great Demon Gods had also transformed into their true forms to resist this aura.

The only ones relatively unaffected were Liu Mang and Xuan Du. Both of them possessed the first portion of Merit from Nu Wa's creation of humans, so they were not too repulsed by the Merit. Xuan Du also had Taishang looking after him, making him even more comfortable.

In comparison, Liu Mang was much more miserable.

Nu Wa's aura erupted, and since he was the closest, no one could pay attention to him.

The key was that he was unwilling to leave, foolishly prostrating himself on the ground. As a result, Nu Wa's aura pressed him into the ground, forming a large pit shaped like the character "太".

His entire body was buried in the pit, and his back was barely visible.

[Oh my, Mother, hurry up! I'm going to die! I'm going to die!]

Just as everyone in Hong Huang believed Nu Wa's path to sainthood was a foregone conclusion, Nu Wa, enveloped by boundless merit, slowly opened her eyes.

She looked expressionlessly at Liu Mang, who was pressed into the ground, and thought to herself, "I don't know who you are, but you recognize me as your mother. No reincarnated powerful being would be so shameless. So, should I believe you?"

"Proving Dao through the three corpses, is it really feasible?" Nu Wa murmured, "Or should I refuse to absorb this merit and choose to continue with the three-corpse path to sainthood?"

As Nu Wa hesitated, a purple qi appeared above her head.

"Hongmeng Purple Qi? Why did it suddenly appear?"

Before Nu Wa could react, the Hongmeng Purple Qi floating above her head began to frantically absorb merit and then transfer it into Nu Wa's body. Nu Wa's delicate body stiffened; the situation she feared most had occurred.

Nu Wa tried multiple times to control the Hongmeng Purple Qi to stop absorbing merit, but all her attempts were in vain.

In Purple Heaven Palace, Hong Jun smiled and said to the void before him, "Heavenly Dao, you truly do not want Nu Wa to prove Dao with merit. Fortunately, I was prepared; otherwise, you would have succeeded."

After Hong Jun finished speaking, he received no response. He was not annoyed, smiled slightly, and re-entered meditation.

Looking at the out-of-control Hongmeng Purple Qi and the increasingly abundant merit within her, Nu Wa's expression showed no signs of anxiety.

Earlier, Liu Mang had said there was a problem with the Hongmeng Purple Qi. Although she didn't quite believe it, she couldn't be completely unprepared.

"Someone truly wants to force me to become a Saint through merit!" Nu Wa looked at the Hongmeng Purple Qi, then gave a wry smile and softly murmured.

"Since you want it, I shall grant your wish!"
