The grand phenomenon of Nuwa Becomes a Saint and her supreme pressure were like a massive boulder cast into a tranquil lake, stirring monstrous waves across the Primordial World. The upheaval it caused far exceeded everyone's imagination.
Kunlun Mountain, the Three Pure Ones' sacred ground. Within Jade Void Palace, the tranquil and harmonious Dao aura was forcibly shattered by the Sage's pressure sweeping across heaven and earth.
Laozi the Sage remained expressionless, yet the tassels of the whisk in his hand stirred without wind, revealing that his heart was not entirely unmoved.
He looked toward Buzhou Mountain, his gaze profound, and slowly said, "Creation of living beings could actually draw forth such merit... completing the Heavenly Dao... so that was how it was."
Though he had long since touched upon the threshold of Sainthood, his Junior Sister had taken the lead. A faint ripple inevitably arose within his heart.
Primordial Lord of Heaven wore the ugliest expression. He had always considered himself part of Pangu's Orthodox Lineage, with the most orthodox Dao arts. Now, his face darkened like water as he snorted coldly. "Creation took a shortcut. It is ultimately not the proper path of the Great Dao!"
Even so, the Sage's pressure could not be faked, leaving him incomparably stifled.
After his initial shock, Lord of the Heavens' eyes erupted with sharp light and fighting spirit. "What a Nuwa, Junior Sister!
"Without a word, she actually forged such a path! The might of a Sage truly is extraordinary! Elder Brother, Second Brother, we cannot fall behind either!"
What he felt was pressure, but also motivation.
Sun Star, Demon Emperor Palace. Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Tai Yi were first shocked, then overwhelmed by wild joy. "A Sage! The Primordial World's first Sage has emerged from our Demon Clan!"
Di Jun clapped his hands and laughed loudly, his eyes gleaming with excitement and ambition. "Heaven blesses the Demon Clan! Though Empress Nuwa has not directly joined the Demon Clan Heavenly Court, she is our Demon Clan's Sage. That is an unchangeable fact!
"With such support, why fear that the Witch Clan will not perish? Why fear that the Heavenly Court will not prosper?" Tai Yi was equally thrilled, and the Chaos Bell hummed. "Exactly so!
"Quickly prepare lavish gifts and go to Buzhou Mountain to congratulate Empress Nuwa on Achieving Sainthood! Our Demon Clan must be the first to build good relations with the Sage!"
The entire Demon Clan Heavenly Court instantly emerged from the gloom of its earlier failure to seize spiritual treasures and fell into jubilant celebration.
Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss, Mount Sumeru. Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti had originally been in secluded cultivation, attempting to use a fragment of the Jade Disk of Creation to deduce the Method of Attaining Dao. Suddenly, heaven and earth shook, and the Sage's pressure descended.
The two abruptly opened their eyes. At first they were horrified, but upon sensing that familiar aura, uncontrollable ecstasy instantly bloomed across their faces. "Nuwa, Junior Sister! It was Nuwa, Junior Sister who did it!"
Daoist Zhunti nearly leaped from his meditation cushion. The suffering on his face was swept away, leaving only boundless excitement and envy. "Achieving Sainthood through Merit! So such a method truly exists!
"It truly works!" Daoist Jieyin's face also flushed, the suffering in his expression lessening as he repeatedly said, "Good! Excellent! Nuwa, Junior Sister becoming a Sage proves that our teacher's words were true. The path to becoming a Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal lies right before us!
"And..." He paused, as though carefully sensing something. A trace of surprise appeared on his face. "Ming Xin's aura... he was actually at the place where she became a Saint, and he... he even gained a thread of merit?"
"What?" Zhunti froze, then became even more overjoyed. "Hahaha! Good! What a good disciple! He actually participated in a Sage's affair and shared in the merit! This is an omen of Prosperity of the West! A Heavenly Opportunity!"
Blood Sea, Wuzhuang Temple, Northern Sea... Hidden great powers throughout the Primordial World were all shocked and appalled, each harboring different thoughts—some envious, some jealous, some urgent.
Yet every one of them developed an unprecedented longing for the realm of a Sage.
Just as the minds of all beings in the Primordial World were in turmoil, before they had recovered from the shock of the first Sage's birth—
Empress Nuwa's grand and ethereal Sage voice rang out through heaven and earth once more, entering the ears of all living beings:
"I am Nuwa. Today, I have attained the Primordial Unity and achieved the Saint Position. Moved by the impermanence of the Heavenly Dao and the hardships all beings face in seeking the Dao—
"Three thousand years from now, I shall establish Wa Huang Palace as my sacred ground in Chaos Beyond the Heavens and expound the Dao of the Sage. All those with affinity may come and listen."
The moment these words were spoken, the Primordial World, which had only just calmed somewhat, boiled over once more!
A Sage teaching the Dao! Moreover, it would be the first time since the creation of the Primordial World that a Sage would personally expound the Great Dao!
For all the great powers desperately pursuing higher realms, this was undoubtedly an irresistible temptation! It might even contain an opportunity to Achieve Sainthood!
The Three Pure Ones turned solemn, already resolved to go without fail.
Di Jun and Tai Yi were ecstatic and immediately began selecting Demon Clan elites, preparing to enter Chaos and listen to the Dao when the time came.
Jieyin and Zhunti were beside themselves with excitement. "An opportunity! A tremendous opportunity! Listening to a Sage expound the Dao will surely help us perfect our Great Dao and attain the Dao sooner!"
Zhen Yuanzi, Styx River, Kun Peng... all the guests of Purple Sky Palace, along with some newly risen top-tier great powers, were rubbing their hands together as they prepared to rush toward the appointment in Chaos three thousand years hence.
The attention of the entire Primordial World instantly shifted from the shock of Nuwa becoming a Saint to boundless anticipation for that unprecedented teaching three thousand years later!
At this moment, within the valley of Buzhou Mountain, Empress Nuwa gave Ming Xin a slight nod. "Three thousand years from now, you may also come to Chaos, Fellow Daoist."
Ming Xin respectfully replied, "Thank you, Empress. Ming Xin will certainly arrive on time."
Empress Nuwa said no more. With a sweep of her sacred sleeve, she gathered the countless ignorant, newborn humans and took a single step, vanishing without a trace. Clearly, she had gone to settle the new beings she had created.
Ming Xin stood alone in the valley, sensing the thread of merit within his body and the subtle changes in the system brought about by recording the process of a Sage becoming a Saint.
Recalling how he had quietly implanted core ideals within the Human Race, the ripples in his heart gradually settled. His gaze turned toward the endless vault of heaven.
"Three thousand years, Chaos, Wa Huang Palace..." he murmured. "What mysteries might the Dao of a Sage and the system database deduce from this?"
A new era for the Primordial World had officially begun with Nuwa's Achieving Sainthood and the announcement of her teaching.
And Ming Xin had already secured a unique and advantageous position at the starting point of this new era.
