The Human Ancestral Land Cannot Be Lost

"Don't say things you shouldn't!"

"Uh... Junior Sister, you know how barren my Western lands are. My junior brother and I have searched the Hong Huang for so many years, and only now have we found some sentient beings willing to go to the West with us."

Seeing Jieyin on the verge of tears, Nu Wa couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart.

You used this trick when you were grabbing seats in Purple Heaven Palace, it won't work on me!

Besides, are you sure those beings were willing? I'm not afraid to call you out!

Seeing Nu Wa's lack of reaction, Jieyin chuckled awkwardly and continued, "This, you see, with so many humans now, we might not be able to take care of them all if they go elsewhere. Would you mind giving some to my junior brother and me so we can look after them?"

After Jieyin finished speaking, Zhunti nodded and said earnestly, "Yes, Junior Sister, you are our dear Junior Sister. Don't worry, my senior brother and I will definitely take good care of these humans for you."

As Zhunti spoke, he stared in the direction of the Human Race, his eyes burning with a fervor that could ignite a flame.

"So many people! If we can convert them all! Then the West will prosper!"

Nu Wa listened to their words and looked at their shamelessness, feeling like ten thousand mud-horses were galloping through her heart.

I'm creating a path for humans to live, not sending them to their deaths. If I send them to your West, they won't even have food. Will they starve with you two all day long?

The key is, you two can absorb spiritual energy without eating, but these humans can't.

Especially Zhunti's gaze, Nu Wa knew he had no good intentions, so she said coldly, "Since the West is barren, then we won't trouble the two of you!"

Zhunti was stunned by her words. He turned and found Nu Wa staring at him blankly, and he said sheepishly, "Heh heh... Then, then let's pretend I didn't say anything!"

While Nu Wa was making arrangements, the Human Race had also been divided into teams.

However, what puzzled Nu Wa was that there were five teams when there were supposed to be four.

Facing Nu Wa's confused gaze, two of the first ten humans who stepped forward pushed each other and walked up to Nu Wa, with a large group of humans behind them.

Seeing their hesitant expressions, Nu Wa understood their meaning after a moment of thought. If the first ten innate humans were divided into four groups, there would be exactly two people left over.

Judging by these two people's intentions, they should also want to lead a group of humans separately.

Nu Wa's expression remained unchanged, and she asked, "What are your requests? Just say them directly."

Everyone else also looked at the two innate humans with sneers. Nu Wa had created humans and found them a place to live, but unexpectedly, these newly born humans were not satisfied and wanted more.

The two men "thumped" and knelt on the ground simultaneously.

"We, the Human Race, will never forget the grace of Holy Mother's creation. We see and remember Holy Mother's plans for the future of the Human Race in our hearts. We have no dissatisfaction and no other requests."

"Then why are you two here?" Nu Wa asked, glancing at the two and then at the humans behind them.

Facing Nu Wa's inquiry, the two humans exchanged glances, nodded firmly, and said.

"But this is the birthplace of our Human Race, our Ancestral Land. If our Human Race has no Ancestral Land, what kind of Human Race are we?"

"We have all discussed this and are willing to stay in the Ancestral Land. We ask Holy Mother to grant our wish."

As soon as the two finished speaking, a large group of people behind them also knelt down and said in unison, "Please grant our wish, Holy Mother."

"You must think clearly! If you stay here without protection, you will live on the edge of death, with your future uncertain!"

"We cannot abandon the Ancestral Land, nor forget the Ancestral Vein! Please grant our wish, Holy Mother!"

"Please grant our wish!"

"The Human Ancestral Land cannot be lost, the Ancestral Vein cannot be forgotten!"

"Please grant our wish!"

Originally, like everyone else, she thought...

Nu Wa looked at the humans kneeling on the ground and shouting, and for a moment, she was lost in thought.

It wasn't just Nu Wa who was shocked; everyone else looked at the Human Race with awe.

The sight of tens of thousands of people kneeling and shouting did not make the Three Pure Ones and others feel that the Human Race was humble and small. Instead, the unified momentum of tens of thousands of people made even Quasi-Saints like them tremble.

Among the myriad races of the Hong Huang, which one wasn't content with its lot and fled immediately when the situation turned bad? In the eyes of all races, there was no Ancestral Land, only blessed lands.

Liu Mang smiled faintly at the reaction of the Human Race, as if everything was within his expectations.

[This is humanity! Ridiculous and respectable!]

Ridiculous? Or respectable?

Nu Wa murmured as she listened to Liu Mang's words.

She looked at the humans kneeling respectfully before her, with their heads resting on their hands, and smiled. Suddenly, she felt an indescribable affection for the race she had created. Her gaze towards them was filled with maternal love for the first time.

The Law of Creation, which had been suppressed by the Heavenly Dao due to her proving Dao with merit, inexplicably began to operate autonomously.

So, this is how it is?

Nu Wa waved her hand, and the humans kneeling on the ground involuntarily stood up. Looking at the stunned humans, Nu Wa slowly said.

"Since you have made your decision, I will naturally grant your wish."

The humans rejoiced and bowed again, "Thank you, Holy Mother!"

With their wishes fulfilled, the two happily returned to the Human Race.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, how about I stay in the Ancestral Land while you two go to the Witch Tribe!"

The first ten to emerge not only divided the Human Race into groups but also ranked themselves. The method was simple: whoever woke up first was at the front.

Liu Mang and Xuan Du were not among them, as the rest of the Human Race had no idea that the two beside these powerful beings were, like them, also part of the Human Race.

"Nonsense! We already agreed! We'll do as we planned!"

"But..."

"No buts. If my second brother and I can't hold the Ancestral Land, you must quickly become strong and then take it back. If the Human Ancestral Land is gone, then the Human Race is no longer the Human Race!"

"We understand!"

"Pack your things and leave with Ancestor Witch Hou Tu. I hope my brothers and I will see you again in this life."

Nu Wa was staring blankly at the ten primordial humans, who seemed to be arranging their final affairs, when a voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Saintess Nu Wa, are you worried about the humans here?"

Nu Wa turned and found Taishang looking at her with a smile.

"Eldest Brother, there's no need for such formality! Just call me Junior Sister," Nu Wa said.

"Propriety must be observed!"

Taishang said this lightly before continuing, "I have one matter I hope the Saintess will agree to."

After speaking, Taishang paused and then added, "Actually, it's more like two matters."

Nu Wa listened, looking at Taishang with curiosity.

"Oh, Eldest Brother, please tell me what it is. If it's within my capabilities, I will certainly agree."

Taishang pointed to Xuan Du beside him and said, "The first matter is that I feel a connection with Xuan Du and wish to take him as my disciple. However, he is a being created by a Saint, so I hope the Saintess will consent to this."

After hearing Taishang's words, Nu Wa scrutinized Xuan Du, who stood beside Taishang, for a long time but saw nothing special about him.

Taishang, thinking Nu Wa disagreed, added, "Of course, Xuan Du will also be my only disciple."

Nu Wa was taken aback and quickly explained:

"Eldest Brother, you misunderstand!

It's not that I disagree, I'm just curious what makes Xuan Du so special that Eldest Brother treats him this way.

As for taking a disciple, as long as Xuan Du himself agrees, I have no objections. Eldest Brother doesn't need to promise to take only one disciple."

"My nature is inherently indifferent. Taking Xuan Du as a disciple is partly due to connection, and partly because I don't want this legacy to be broken."

Nu Wa nodded, no longer trying to dissuade him, and asked, "Then what is the second matter?"

"The second matter! I wish to remain here!"
