Nuwa Becomes a Saint

Nuwa's mind became utterly clear, all her will immersed in that supreme Creation.

She mixed Nine Heavens Breathing Soil with Three Lights Divine Water. Her slender jade hands moved like the most exquisite brushes of Creation, following the form of Pangu's Great Dao as she shaped them.

The first clay figure took form. Its appearance differed from every race in the Primordial World. It stood upright and tall, with well-proportioned limbs. Though its features were still vague, it already contained boundless spirituality and possibility.

Empress Nuwa gazed at this first creation. Inspiration struck, and she gently breathed a mouthful of Essence Vitality into it—breath containing the Creation Origin of her Primordial Saint realm and her infinite hopes for this newborn race!

Buzz!

The clay figure instantly came to life! Flesh and blood formed, its skin took on a healthy color, and its eyes opened, filled with curiosity, confusion, and a trace of innate intelligence toward this world!

The first "human" had been born!

Immediately afterward, Empress Nuwa's movements grew faster and faster. One clay person after another was born from her hands, infused with Essence Vitality and transformed into living beings.

They gathered around Nuwa, letting out innocent, joyful cries as they instinctively drew close to the Holy Mother who had created them.

As the number of creations steadily increased, Empress Nuwa's understanding of the Path of Creation rose to an unprecedented peak!

She felt that the connection between her primordial spirit and the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World had never been so close!

When the final human was created and gathered in the valley, the mass of them stretched dark and dense. Though newly born and weak, they brimmed with Life Force, their spiritual light converging and unexpectedly stirring resonances in the laws of the Entire Primordial World!

The Heavenly Dao responded!

Rumble!!!

From above the Ninth Heaven, immeasurable Mysterious Yellow Merit Qi surged down like a vast ocean! Its scale far surpassed any previous descent of merit!

Golden light illuminated the Entire Primordial World. No matter where they were or how high their cultivation, all living beings sensed it in their hearts and involuntarily looked toward Buzhou Mountain!

Seventy percent of that boundless Merit Golden Light descended upon Empress Nuwa, while thirty percent scattered over the newborn Human Race below, establishing the foundation of their Fortune.

And one tiny yet crucial Merit Golden Thread crossed space and landed precisely upon Ming Xin, who stood to one side protecting her and had aided in enlightening them!

As the merit entered her body, Empress Nuwa's aura rose madly like an erupting volcano!

The barrier at the peak of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm shattered in an instant! A supreme intent, standing above all things, harmonizing with the Heavenly Dao, and imperishable through countless tribulations, erupted from the depths of her primordial spirit!

"Today, I, Nuwa, have created living beings, completed the Heavenly Dao, and attained perfect merit. I have attained the Dao as a Heavenly Dao Saint! From this day forth, I shall remain imperishable through countless tribulations, eternally unfettered!"

Her vast and solemn Dao Sound, accompanied by the supreme pressure of a newly ascended Sage, instantly spread through every corner of the Primordial World, resounding clearly in the depths of countless trillions of souls!

Heavenly flowers rained down, Golden Lotuses Erupting from the Ground, and purple qi came from the east for thirty thousand miles! Endless auspicious qi filled heaven and earth. The laws celebrated her, and the Great Dao sang for her!

The Primordial World shook! All living beings prostrated themselves!

All great powers—the Three Pure Ones of Kunlun Mountain, Di Jun and Tai Yi of the Sun Star, Jieyin and Zhunti of the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss, Styx River of the Blood Sea, Zhen Yuan Zi of Wuzhuang Temple...

All living beings were overwhelmed by this sudden Sage pressure, their minds reeling beyond control!

"A Sage! Junior Sister Nuwa actually attained the Dao before us!" On Kunlun Mountain, emotion appeared on Laozi's normally still face for the first time. "A Heavenly Dao Saint..." Primordial Lord of Heaven's gaze was complicated, containing envy but even more determination. "Good! Good! Good!" Lord of the Heavens clapped and laughed heartily, brimming with fighting spirit.

On the Sun Star, Di Jun and Tai Yi were utterly delighted. With the birth of a Sage, the entire situation would be completely transformed!

In the western lands, Jieyin and Zhunti were stunned at first, then revealed expressions of great delight and intense longing. "The path to Sainthood truly works! Senior Brother, we must also hasten our efforts!"

The Blood Sea churned as Old Ancestor Ming He nearly went mad with jealousy. "Creating living beings can actually lead to Sainthood?! Why did this ancestor receive no such merit for creating the Asura Race?!"

The Entire Primordial World descended into enormous shock and uproar because of the birth of its first Sage!

At this moment, in the valley of Buzhou Mountain, Empress Nuwa was shrouded in endless saintly radiance and a sea of golden merit. Her aura was vast and boundless as she stabilized that supreme Saint Realm.

As Ming Xin received that thread of Merit Golden Light, he felt his Dao Cultivation improve again. The system rapidly absorbed and converted this merit energy, raising its computational and deductive abilities to another level.

But what concerned him more was the newborn Human Race below!

At this moment of incomparable glory, as all living beings stood stunned, the Heavenly Dao celebrated, and Nuwa became a Saint, a sharp light flashed in Ming Xin's eyes. He knew this was a once-in-a-millennium opportunity!

He quietly took a step forward, and his Future Self and Past Self manifested at the same time!

The Future Self held the Fate Compass, drawing upon the Heavenly Dao laws and Threads of Karma that were violently fluctuating because Nuwa had become a Saint; the Past Self released endless Mortal World aura, enveloping the newborn Human Race.

Ming Xin's main body spoke aloud. His voice was not grand, yet it clearly entered the depths of every newborn human's soul, cleverly borrowing the Heavenly Dao resonance of Nuwa's ascension.

He quietly planted certain ideas like seeds within the core inherited consciousness of this newborn race:

"You were newly born, brought forth by Creation, and are the foremost of all beings!" "You are born with feelings. The Seven Emotions and Six Desires are the foundation of living beings, neither sin nor karma. They are the path through which you comprehend the world and perceive Creation!"

"As you walk the Mortal World, you will form Cause and Effect. Good causes yield good results, evil causes yield evil results. This is the moral order of the Heavenly Dao and the measure by which you must conduct yourselves!"

"Never forget the grace of the Holy Mother's Creation. Remember Mortal World Heart Refinement, and revere the cycle of Cause and Effect..."

His words contained his profound understanding of the Red Dust Great Dao and Causal Law, along with an imperceptible trace of the system's power, accompanying the supreme might of the Heavenly Dao and the vast Mysterious Yellow Merit Qi brought forth by Nuwa becoming a Saint.

They were deeply branded into the collective consciousness of the Human Race, becoming among the earliest and most fundamental imprints upon their souls!

From then on, valuing emotional bonds and ethics, and revering karmic retribution—these two great ideas would accompany the reproduction and growth of this race.

They would become among the most essential foundations of their culture, morality, and even civilization.

After doing all this, Ming Xin's Three Bodies quietly merged into one. He stood silently to one side as though nothing had happened.

At this time, the saintly light around Empress Nuwa gradually receded, and her vast saintly pressure became smooth and restrained.

She slowly opened her eyes. Within them was the detached Heavenly Dao, yet they also held the infinite compassion of a Sage.

She first looked at the countless humans surrounding her, still ignorant and full of adoration, and affection appeared in her eyes. Then she looked toward Ming Xin, a trace of understanding and complexity flashing through her saintly gaze.

She had become a Saint. How could Ming Xin's actions just now possibly have escaped her notice? Yet the Dao of "Mortal World" and "Cause and Effect" woven into the Human Race's core ideals held no evil intent.

Instead, they would aid the stability and development of this newborn race. They did not conflict with the Path of Creation and even complemented it.

Furthermore, Ming Xin had the merit of enlightenment and had received a share of the merit, so she did not investigate further and merely gave a slight nod.

"Thank you, Daoist friend, for protecting me," Empress Nuwa said, her saintly voice ethereal.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on attaining the Dao and becoming a Saint, imperishable through countless tribulations!"

Ming Xin bowed respectfully, his heart also surging with emotion. At the very birth of the Human Race, he had successfully branded the mark of The West upon them.

This move might produce immeasurable consequences in the unimaginably distant future.

Nuwa had become a Saint, and the structure of the Primordial World had changed drastically. Amid this upheaval, Ming Xin had also planted a crucial seed for himself and for The West.
