Nu Wa's Saintly pressure burst forth from her body, sweeping across all of Hong Huang.
Immediately afterward, every living being touched by the Seven-Colored Divine Light underwent a wondrous transformation.
Onion Niang had originally been a wild onion that had grown for over a thousand years. She basked in the warm sunlight by day and rested beneath the moonlight at night, yet she had never been able to take form. Several attempts at transformation had nearly caused her body and soul to dissipate.
She had thought that taking form would be impossible in this lifetime, but today, she first heard rolling thunder and then felt rain falling upon her. Yet unlike usual, the rain was not violent when it struck her body. Instead, it felt exceptionally pleasant.
Just as Onion Niang spread her onion leaves to enjoy it, she discovered that at some unknown time, her onion leaves had become hands, while her roots had become feet.
The willow tree that had always sheltered her from the wind and rain also grew especially tall under the nourishment of the Seven-Colored Divine Light. A faint Spiritual Sense was beginning to awaken within it.
Nor was Onion Niang the only one. In the distance, a little demon named A'gua and a little shaman named A'dai had originally fought over a Spiritual Flower until both were grievously wounded. The little demon's left arm had been severed at the shoulder, blood flowing without end. The little shaman had a claw wound in his chest that cut three inches into the bone, and even his beating heart could be seen.
Just as it seemed the two would not survive, beneath the illumination of the Seven-Colored Divine Light, not only did their injuries heal in an instant, but the Spiritual Flower they had fought over also bloomed into two flowers.
The two exchanged a glance, then picked the Spiritual Fruits one after the other and left in opposite directions.
Old hidden injuries of demons healed. Blinded eyes of monsters could see again. Spiritual Plants that had seemingly failed to survive their lightning tribulations lived on... From land to sea, from plants to the Demon Race, similar events were unfolding throughout the entire land of Hong Huang.
Even those observing Nu Wa's attainment of the Dao, the foremost group of combatants in Hong Huang, faintly sensed signs of growth in cultivation levels that had not changed for thousands of years beneath the Seven-Colored Divine Light.
"Is this what a Saint is? Truly terrifying!" Kunpeng carefully studied Nu Wa and could not help voicing his thoughts.
Ming He looked at Nu Wa with a face full of wariness. "Yes. Before, I could still exchange a few moves with Saint Nu Wa. Now, I do not even dare entertain such thoughts."
Tongtian alone was different. His gaze at Nu Wa was filled with excitement, and he looked eager to try.
When a Saint emerged, seven radiances appeared.
The Seven-Colored Divine Light manifested alongside the Saint. It was Chaos repaying the world that had nurtured a Saint.
The entire world, including every living being within it, would undergo an evolution beneath the illumination of the Seven-Colored Divine Light.
Nu Wa could clearly sense that the world of Hong Huang seemed to have become more stable.
When she had first become a Saint, Nu Wa had felt that Hong Huang was like a peeled egg. With only a little force from her, it would shatter. Now, it was like an egg with its shell intact, capable of withstanding a certain degree of impact.
Nu Wa also understood why Hong Jun, despite having already severed all three corpses, had still needed to merge with the Dao.
On one hand, without a stable Hong Huang, the consciousness of the Heavenly Dao had only just awakened and was truly pitifully weak.
On the other hand, if Hong Jun had not merged with the Dao, Hong Huang would certainly have shattered. Everyone, including Hong Jun, would have gone "poof" and become a speck of dust within Chaos.
Nu Wa gazed into the distance, her heart filled with emotion. At the moment you merged with the Dao, you must have sincerely wanted to save Hong Huang, right? You simply never expected that the dragon slayer would eventually become the dragon!
Whew, I can finally move. Can someone tell me if it's over?
Liu Mang's voice sounded by Nu Wa's ear again. She turned to look and saw that Liu Mang was still lying in the pit, his head raised high as he secretly looked left and right.
Did my mother become a Saint? Why isn't she glowing?
I'm not some glowing fish. Why would I glow? Becoming a Saint and glowing is something only those two from The West would do, right? Nu Wa silently complained as she looked at Jieyin and Zhunti, who sat upon golden lotus platforms and shone brilliantly. Bright—they were far too bright!
Where's the Heavenly Dao? Why hasn't it come out yet? Hong Jun, open the door! Your delivery has arrived!
Nu Wa: ...
In other cultivation worlds, one person becomes an emperor and the whole world benefits. Why is there still no movement in Hong Huang? Is my mother not good enough? Even this can't make Hong Huang evolve? What the hell!
Nu Wa: Do you think I'm not good enough? Or do you think you're good again? Want me to beat you into scraps and see?
Just as Liu Mang looked around and complained, he suddenly felt as though someone was staring at him.
He focused his eyes and discovered that Nu Wa was looking down at him with a malicious smile.
Oh ho! I'm done for! She'll definitely ask why I'm so close. How am I supposed to make something up?
Hearing Liu Mang's words, Nu Wa narrowed her eyes. "I hadn't planned on doing anything, but you dared to deceive me. Since you're asking for a beating, don't blame me for being rude!"
Just as Nu Wa was preparing to find an excuse to act, the Eye of Heavenly Dao appeared.
Liu Mang, who had been looking upward, saw the Eye of Heavenly Dao appear behind Nu Wa at first glance.
He immediately buried his head back into the pit, maintaining his face-down position. He even used both hands to pull the dirt at either side of his face over it, looking completely dead and half-buried.
Nu Wa was stunned by Liu Mang's movements. He was so practiced at this—there had to be a huge disaster coming.
"You truly are Mother's good eldest son. When something happens, you die first, is that it? I've already become a Saint, yet you can still make my liver hurt from anger!"
Nu Wa calmly turned around and looked behind her.
That unfilial brat looked terrified of death. There had to be something extraordinary behind her.
Sure enough, as soon as Nu Wa turned around, she saw the Eye of Heavenly Dao hanging in the sky, its previously shut eyelid slowly opening.
As Nu Wa looked at the eye, she felt both familiarity and strangeness. It was filled with indifference, without the slightest trace of emotion.
Then the voice of the Heavenly Dao resounded throughout Hong Huang, reaching the ears of every living being.
"Today, Nu Wa has added a race of living beings to the world of Hong Huang—the Human Race. This is a great merit for Hong Huang. Having advanced to become a Saint, she has repaid Hong Huang. Let us congratulate the Saint."
There really was repayment? How did I not know that!
After hearing these words, the living beings of Hong Huang finally understood what the Seven-Colored Divine Light was.
They hurriedly bowed. Beneficiaries such as Onion Niang even prostrated themselves upon the ground and cried out, "Congratulations to Saint Nu Wa! Let us congratulate the Saint!"
Nu Wa bowed from afar toward the Eye of Heavenly Dao. "I was born in Hong Huang and raised in Hong Huang. Having received the generous favor of the world of Hong Huang, repaying Hong Huang after becoming a Saint is only proper."
As Nu Wa spoke, she raised her tightly clenched right hand and slowly opened it. A wisp of Hongmeng Purple Qi was firmly controlled within her palm.
The Hongmeng Purple Qi seemed to sense danger and tried several times to break free, but it was trapped in her palm and could not move at all.
Kunpeng stared greedily at the Hongmeng Purple Qi in Nu Wa's hand. The next moment, he could not help looking toward Hong Yun, as though it had become Kunpeng's instinctive reaction.
"Today, having become a Saint, I shall use this item to congratulate Hong Huang once more."
After Nu Wa finished speaking, she smiled at the Eye of Heavenly Dao and clenched her right hand in the air. With a crack, the Hongmeng Purple Qi shattered into countless fragments.
With a wave of Nu Wa's right hand, thousands upon thousands of Hongmeng fragments scattered toward every corner of the world of Hong Huang.
The Hongmeng Purple Qi had originally been formed from the source of the Heavenly Dao. Now that it had returned to the world of Hong Huang, it was undoubtedly another repayment to Hong Huang.
This made the entirety of Hong Huang seem as though it had eaten too much.
"Accepted~"
The voice of the Heavenly Dao slowly uttered a single word, dragging out the final sound as though it had let out a satisfied burp.
Within the Purple Sky Palace, an embarrassed, furious voice rang out.
"Heavenly Dao! You fucking screwed me!"
