Ming Xin's Guidance

Having spent a long time traveling and discussing the Dao with Ming Xin, Empress Nuwa felt she had gained much and advanced her Dao Cultivation, yet a faint, elusive trace of melancholy and contemplation often lingered between her brows.

One day, the two arrived at a valley at the foot of Buzhou Mountain.

The scenery within the valley was exquisite, with a Spiritual Spring gurgling, rare flowers and strange grasses covering the ground, and many gentle spirit beasts dwelling here, playing and frolicking in a scene of harmony.

However, looking across the entire Primordial World, such a peaceful place was truly rare.

Empress Nuwa halted, gazing at those innocent, carefree spirit beasts, and then recalled the endless slaughter and conflict, the law of the jungle that pervaded the Primordial World.

Whether it was the Wu and Yao clans, or the many Ancient Remnant Species, most were fierce by nature, fond of fighting and strife, ceaselessly warring over resources, territory, and fortune, filling heaven and earth with Sha Qi.

She let out a soft sigh, her voice carrying a hint of a saint's compassion and helplessness: "The Primordial World is vast, with myriad races standing tall, yet most are naturally violent, bloodthirsty, and fond of conflict.

Even the mighty Wu and Yao only know conquest, not harmony. If this continues long, karma will entangle, Sha Qi will accumulate, and I fear it will not be a blessing for heaven and earth."

The Creation Dao Rhyme around her unconsciously flowed, revealing a strong desire: "If there could be a race, born with a Dao Body, close to the Dao and quick-witted, whose nature, though also possessing the Seven Emotions and Six Desires, yet knows more of propriety and law, understands creation, cultivation, and inheritance, rather than mere destruction and plunder... perhaps it could bring a new atmosphere to this Primordial World, harmonize yin and yang, and channel the Sha Qi..."

Empress Nuwa's words were spoken from the heart, a casual venting of the burdens in her chest.

Though she governed creation and had brought countless beings to life, creating an entirely new race, one bearing so many of her hopes, was unimaginably difficult, requiring immense fortune and insight.

However, the speaker had no intention, but the listener took it to heart!

Ming Xin, who had been quietly listening all along, felt as if a bolt of lightning had split the fog in his mind upon hearing the words "born with a Dao Body," "close to the Dao and quick-witted," "knows propriety and law," and "creation and inheritance"!

The core of his system began to frantically deduce at an unprecedented speed, combining the mysteries of creation he had gained from discussing the Dao with Nuwa, merging his own insights into the mortal world, reincarnation, and fate from the Three Lives Method, and then integrating those vague fragments of knowledge from a later era...

In an instant, countless threads converged into a single point!

He suddenly looked up, a brilliant light bursting from his eyes, and his voice was slightly hurried with excitement as he addressed Empress Nuwa: "Empress! What you say is absolutely right!

This is no empty fantasy; it is a great merit, a great opportunity!"

Nuwa was startled by his sudden reaction, her beautiful eyes looking at him with confusion: "Daoist friend, what do you mean by this?"

Ming Xin suppressed the excitement within him, organized his thoughts, and his tone became solemn and clear: "Empress, as a Creation Saint, you must know that heaven and earth are incomplete. The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Dao evolves forty-nine, and one is left to escape! Though the myriad races of the Primordial World each possess their own wonders, none are that 'one that escaped,' and none fully align with the subtlety of the Heavenly Dao's evolution!"

He raised his hand, pointing to the frolicking spirit beasts in the valley, then to the distant direction where faint sounds of slaughter came: "These beings, whether strong or weak, fierce or kind, are all born with Innate Nature, unable to break free from their molds. But the new race you envision, Empress, should be an Acquired Spirit, yet bearing the form of an Innate Dao Body, absorbing the spiritual essence of all things, possessing infinite potential!"

"Its form can be modeled after the Dao Body of the Great God Pangu—this is a form close to the Dao!"

"Its material can take the essence of the Primordial World: Nine Heavens Breathing Soil for bones and flesh, Three Lights Divine Water for blood and veins, granting it endless Life Force and creation!"

"Its soul should draw the creation energy of the Heavenly Dao, infusing it with spirituality, so it is born knowing good and evil, discerning right and wrong. Though it will also have emotions and desires, it will better understand restraint and creation!"

"Once this race emerges, it will inject new vitality into the Primordial World, open the path of civilization, and channel the Sha Qi of heaven and earth. This is a great merit that follows the Heavenly Dao and fills the void of the Primordial World! Empress Nuwa, this is the foundation for achieving the supreme Dao!"

Ming Xin's words, like a great bell or a massive drum, struck Empress Nuwa's mind word by word!

Her originally vague conception was dissected layer by layer by Ming Xin with reason and evidence.

He even directly pointed out key materials and forms like "Nine Heavens Breathing Soil," "Three Lights Divine Water," and "Pangu's Dao Body," instantly magnifying the faint spark of inspiration in her heart, making it crystal clear!

Boom!

Empress Nuwa felt her Primordial Spirit shake violently, resonating with the elusive Heavenly Dao as never before!

The true words of the Dao spoken by the Dao Ancestor in the Purple Cloud Palace, all her own insights into the Dao of Creation, and the blueprint Ming Xin had painted—all merged perfectly at this moment!

The laws of creation in heaven and earth converged toward her with unprecedented activity!

She understood! She understood completely!

This was her path! This was the mission the Heavenly Dao had bestowed upon her!

To create a new race, one that could bear civilization, harmonize yin and yang, and bring new life to the Primordial World!

"Born with a Dao Body... Acquired Spirit... Nine Heavens Breathing Soil... Three Lights Divine Water... merit..." Empress Nuwa murmured to herself, her eyes growing brighter and brighter.

The saintly might around her involuntarily spread, stirring the winds and clouds of the four directions, causing the spirit beasts in the valley to prostrate themselves in reverence.

She suddenly looked at Ming Xin, her gaze burning with gratitude and enlightenment: "Thank you, Daoist friend! A single word has awakened the dreamer! This is heaven's will, and also the fruit of our Dao discussion!"

She hesitated no longer. With a turn of her jade hand, two treasures radiating boundless creation energy appeared in the air: a clump of divine soil shimmering with nine-colored rays, heavy and immense—the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil!

And a crystal jade bottle, within which rippled the essence of sun, moon, and star light—the Three Lights Divine Water!

Empress Nuwa took a deep breath, her expression solemn and dignified. With immense Magic Power, she gathered the Breathing Soil and Divine Water, mixed them together, and following the perfect Dao Body form in her heart, began to carefully shape them...

Ming Xin held his breath beside her, his heart also surging with waves. He was witnessing with his own eyes, and even personally driving, the most important scene in the history of the Primordial World—the birth of the Human Race!

And the vast merit of Nuwa creating humans to become a saint might also have a share for him, thanks to his guidance!

The light of creation enveloped the entire valley. A new era was about to slowly dawn in the hands of this Creation Saint.
