"Elder Brother, are you coming with me, or do you have other plans?"
Nu Wa's question caused everyone present to turn and look at Fu Xi.
"Fellow Daoist Fu Xi, you truly have good fortune!"
"Indeed, with Saint Nu Wa looking out for you, Fellow Daoist Fu Xi can freely enter many secret realms in Hong Huang that others cannot!"
"In the future, when Fellow Daoist Fu Xi goes out, I'm afraid no one will dare to stop him."
Everyone congratulated Fu Xi, unable to hold back their admiration.
Fu Xi's eyes swept across the faces of the people before him. He saw uncontainable envy in their eyes.
Yes, who wouldn't want a sister who became a Saint!
From now on, as long as he, Fu Xi, announced his name, all the races in Hong Huang would give him three points of deference.
With Nu Wa protecting him from behind, no matter how vast Hong Huang was, as long as it wasn't occupied territory, he could go wherever he pleased and walk sideways across the entire Hong Huang without any issues.
The crowd looked at Fu Xi, but their eyes couldn't help but glance at Liu Mang, who was beside Nu Wa.
If the way people looked at Fu Xi was envy, then the way they looked at Liu Mang was naked jealousy.
A member of the Human Race who couldn't even cultivate, who knew what kind of rotten luck he had, just because he called out "Mother!" he gained the biggest backer in all of Hong Huang.
Such a good thing, no one would refuse it.
However, Liu Mang had seen such gazes many times, so not only did he not care at all, but he was secretly pleased, almost drooling with joy.
In contrast, Fu Xi did not like this feeling.
"Although my Younger Sister made the decisions before, I also stood my ground in Hong Huang through my own strength. Now that my Younger Sister has become a Saint, if I remain the same, it might not be good for my reputation or hers."
"Moreover, I, Fu Xi, believe I am not inferior to anyone."
Fu Xi thought for a moment and said, "I appreciate the Saint's intentions! However, if I am outside the Thirty-Three Heavens, I don't know when I will encounter my Dao-proving opportunity. With the Calamity approaching, I also want to take a gamble."
Hearing Fu Xi's address to her, Nu Wa's heart tightened. Recalling that Liu Mang had mentioned Fu Xi was at risk of perishing, she couldn't help but anxiously say, "But..."
Before Nu Wa could finish, Fu Xi interrupted her by reaching out, "If my Younger Sister truly wants what's best for me, I hope the Saint will not hinder your Elder Brother."
Looking at Fu Xi's determined face, Nu Wa's words remained unspoken.
She had lived with Fu Xi for many years and knew that although Fu Xi usually listened to her on most matters, once he made up his mind, there was no possibility of changing it.
Just like when Fu Xi decided to go to the Demon Court, even though Nu Wa tried to dissuade him in every possible way, she couldn't stop him.
Nu Wa pondered for a moment and slowly said, "Since Elder Brother has made up his mind, I won't say anything more. As for the title of Saint, between us, there's no need for such formality."
Seeing Nu Wa agree, Fu Xi breathed a sigh of relief. If Nu Wa was determined to take him outside the Thirty-Three Heavens, with his current strength, he would have almost no room to resist. Forcing resistance might even make him a laughingstock of Hong Huang.
Fu Xi looked at Nu Wa with a smile, "Younger Sister, don't worry. I have traveled through Hong Huang for so many years, and I can say that I have always been kind to others. Coupled with the reputation of these friends and yours, no one should make things difficult for me."
As Fu Xi spoke, Nu Wa also turned to look at the people around her. Seeing Nu Wa look over, they all repeatedly agreed.
"That's right, if we encounter Fellow Daoist Fu Xi, we will naturally help him if we can."
"Exactly, moreover, Fellow Daoist Fu Xi is second only to Fellow Daoist Hong Yun in kindness. Who in Hong Huang doesn't know this?"
"Of course, Fellow Daoist Fu Xi even helped me with a divination before. As long as he comes to me, I will definitely help."
Seeing everyone say this, Nu Wa couldn't say much more and stopped dwelling on the matter.
Although Liu Mang had mentioned Fu Xi's perishing, she didn't know when it would happen. She could only silently decide in her heart to pay more attention to Fu Xi and intervene promptly if she obtained more details about his demise.
"I, the Saint Mother of the Human Race, do not know when I will return after this departure. Survival in Hong Huang is difficult, and one can perish at any moment. I wish to seek a way out for you all. What are your thoughts?"
The three thousand innate humans exchanged glances and nodded. About a dozen of them stepped forward, bowed to Nu Wa, and said respectfully.
"We respectfully obey the Saint Mother's arrangements."
Nu Wa nodded at the ten people and said with a smile, "Since that is the case, you ten will be divided into four groups, each selecting a portion of the humans for me to arrange."
Nu Wa pointed to the two standing at the very edge and said.
"You two, select some humans and go with Ancestor Witch Hou Tu to the Witch Tribe. Hou Tu will make arrangements for you."
"Elder Brother! I intend to divide the remaining humans into three parts, entrusting them to the Dragon Race, Phoenix Race, and Demon Race for care. This way, even if some humans perish due to accidents, there won't be a risk of the entire race being wiped out."
Hearing Nu Wa's words, everyone present nodded.
"Good, I will first inquire with Di Jun," Fu Xi said, then recited a spell. The spell transformed into a flying crane and disappeared in an instant.
"As for the Dragon and Phoenix races," Fu Xi thought for a moment and continued, "After you leave, I will personally make a trip to the Dragon and Phoenix races to communicate with their elders."
"The Phoenix Race doesn't need to trouble Elder Brother. Qing Luan of the Phoenix Race has always served by my side. When I return to Wa Huang Palace, I will arrange for Qing Luan to come here and escort this portion of the humans to the Phoenix Race's ancestral land. As for the Dragon Race, I will trouble Elder Brother!"
In the blink of an eye, the fate of the humans was perfectly arranged.
Looking at the many humans who were grouping around the initial ten people, Nu Wa revealed a knowing smile.
"As long as this matter is accomplished and the major races of Hong Huang are connected to the Human Race, if something truly unexpected happens in the future, this karma can be used to maneuver. It's a pity that I don't know where the Kirin Race has gone, whether they still exist."
Nu Wa was not worried that the Dragon and Phoenix races would refuse her. Now that she had become a Saint, those races would be eager to build connections with her. They would definitely not let such an opportunity slip away.
Moreover, due to the Dragon-Han Tribulation, the Heavenly Dao's punishment on the Dragon and Phoenix races was still ongoing. Hong Jun had said that the Human Race was the future protagonist of Hong Huang. By aligning themselves with the Human Race, the Dragon and Phoenix races would gain many benefits, and perhaps even use the Human Race to restore their vitality. Unless the elders of the Dragon and Phoenix races were possessed by Hong Jun, they would certainly not let such an opportunity pass.
The people present did not know Nu Wa's thoughts, but they all looked enviously at the Human Race.
These were the future protagonists of Hong Huang. Protecting the growth of the Human Race might even lead to Dao-proving. Even becoming a Saint of Hong Huang was still becoming a Saint.
Jieyin and Zhunti, shimmering with golden light, exchanged a look. Without much communication, they understood each other's thoughts.
Jieyin coughed and stepped forward, looking at Nu Wa with a fawning expression, his wrinkles so deep they could trap mosquitoes.
"Junior Sister, Senior Brother has something to say, but I don't know if I should."
