Meanwhile, in Wa Huang Palace in Heaven Beyond Heaven, Empress Nuwa suddenly felt a wave of disgust.

She had heard every word of the Human Emperor's silent slander loud and clear.

That fellow, the Human Emperor, actually wanted to be a simp?

He wanted to lick her like a dog?

The image sent a shiver of revulsion through Nuwa:

The Human Emperor was kneeling before her like a dog, sticking out his long tongue and licking away at her feet...

"Eugh..."

Nuwa really couldn't stand it anymore.

She hurriedly shook her head and put the thought aside.

She had never imagined that the Human Emperor had such a strange fetish.

She would have to keep her distance from that fellow in the future. If he caught her off guard and gave her a lick, wouldn't that be utterly revolting?

After putting the thought aside, Nuwa grew somewhat annoyed.

Was her intelligence really so low in the Human Emperor's eyes?

How could Nuwa not be annoyed when the Human Emperor slandered her like that in his heart?

The Human Emperor's mouth really made her want to tear it apart.

But after hearing the Human Emperor's thoughts twice in succession,

Nuwa had come to understand many things.

If the Human Emperor hadn't told her the causes and consequences of the matter in Nuwa Temple in time,

things might truly have become unthinkable.

She, Nuwa, really could have become the first sage to enter the fray and borne the burden of immense karma for the other sages.

And according to the future the Human Emperor knew, her fate probably wouldn't have been good when that time came.

Besides that,

the Human Emperor was indeed trying to think of a way to break the deadlock.

He even wanted her to join his camp.

For that purpose, he was willing to kneel at her feet, become a dog, and lick her feet, all to get her to join his camp.

Although the Human Emperor's idea was utterly disgusting,

it was enough to show just how badly he wanted her.

Although the Human Emperor's foul mouth was so utterly disgusting that she felt the urge to tear it apart,

Nuwa was fairly satisfied with his sincerity.

Just as Nuwa was secretly feeling utterly disgusted, the Human Emperor's thoughts came through Su Daji once again.

This time, however, the Human Emperor was complaining:

["That stupid woman Nuwa should have had boundless merit and a promising future, but she just had to refuse to establish a teaching or contend with the world. In the end, Taishang Laozi even seized most of the Human Clan's providence, leaving her shut away behind closed doors as she is now. What a pity."]

["I wonder if that stupid woman has any other plans? At a special time like this, even the Dragon Clan has made preparations in advance. I've also begun gathering Yin Shang's strength as best I can, preparing to accumulate strength to weather the tribulation, yet that stupid woman still isn't moved? Sigh, she really doesn't have a care in the world."]

Hearing the Human Emperor's words, Nuwa's mouth twitched.

She really felt rather bitter inside.

No wonder the Human Emperor had mocked her as a stupid woman.

Now that she thought about it carefully, it did seem to be true.

She was a Sage of Merit who had once possessed the providence of both the Demon Clan and the Human Clan.

By rights, she had advantages the other sages could only dream of.

Yet she hadn't known how to seize them, and had ended up all alone.

Thinking about it really did make her sigh.

But then a cold smile appeared on Nuwa's lips.

Whatever else might be said, she was still a dignified Sage of Merit.

Wouldn't it be easy for her to build a force of her own?

She possessed the Demon-Summoning Banner, and the demons hidden throughout the world all obeyed her commands.

She only needed to choose carefully, and she could assemble a formidable force in a very short time.

She was only missing someone to take her place and keep the demons in check.

The Human Emperor's words had spurred the idea to surface.

After a moment's thought, Empress Nuwa had already thought of someone.

If she invited that person out of seclusion to keep the demons in check in her stead, nothing could be more suitable.

With that person, it would be much easier for her to build a force of her own.

At that thought, Empress Nuwa was greatly tempted.

The Human Emperor wanted her to join his camp.

And Nuwa had the same idea.

Rather than putting on a false show of civility with Yuanshi Tianzun, Taishang Laozi, and the others,

she might as well join the Human Emperor and Tongtian's camp.

After all, the Human Emperor and Tongtian were much more straightforward by comparison.

Besides, the Human Clan itself was a race created by Nuwa.

If she could mend her relations with the Human Clan, its providence would naturally flow to her.

At that thought, a fervent smile appeared on Empress Nuwa's face.

Hadn't that young fellow slandered her for having no force of her own?

Then she would build one.

When the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods truly began, surely that young fellow wouldn't look down on her again?

She put her plan into action at once.

Nuwa cut off the connection of her will, transformed into a streak of light, and flew out of Wa Huang Palace.

Ye Xuan and Su Daji naturally knew nothing of any of this.

In the imperial harem in Chaoge, Ye Xuan was still standing there, silently slandering her.

Su Daji, however, stood nervously to one side.

To Su Daji, the Human Emperor's distrust was more or less hurtful.

She had clearly come to protect the Human Emperor on the Holy Mother's orders.

How could the Human Emperor say she had come to harm him?

Especially since Su Daji's personality still existed deep within the Nine-Tailed Fox Lord.

Under the influence of Su Daji's personality, the Nine-Tailed Fox Lord's character had changed greatly.

The Human Emperor stood there for a long time without speaking.

By now, the Nine-Tailed Fox Lord had begun to worry about her gains and losses.

Only after a long while did Ye Xuan come back to his senses.

Seeing the bewitching beauty who exuded charm from her very bones,

he finally gave a soundless sigh.

Nuwa having the Nine-Tailed Fox serve him was probably one of the few schemes that stupid woman had.

Ye Xuan could naturally tell that this fox spirit seemed to have an inexplicable fondness for him and probably wouldn't deceive him.

Perhaps it was also because of that Human Clan member, Su Daji?

As the fox spirit's beautiful eyes moved, every glance was radiant and soul-stirring.

"Since Empress Nuwa sent you here, you may stay in the imperial harem."

Hearing this, Su Daji was naturally delighted.

Her smile brimmed with charm.

The sight left Ye Xuan in a daze again.

She truly was the enchantress who had brought down the entire realm of Yin Shang and ended the reign of the ninety-nine Human Emperors.

Her charming bearing alone was indeed rarely seen under heaven.

Even Wushuang, whose beauty outshone all within the four seas, might have been her equal in looks,

but in bearing, she still fell a little short.

"Your Majesty, Human Emperor, you are the sovereign of heaven and earth. May I ask how you regard the Demon Clan?"

Ye Xuan gave Su Daji an odd look. Was this little enchantress actually questioning him?

He then spoke calmly:

"Strictly speaking, when heaven and earth first opened, the myriad living beings of heaven and earth came before the Human Clan. To me, there is no distinction between them."

"Humans have the Human Dao, and demons have the Demon Dao. Humans are divided into right and wrong, good and bad, and I expect the same is true of the Demon Clan."

"To me, whether it is the Human Clan, the Demon Clan, or the Witch Clan, none is higher or lower, nobler or baser than another."

Hearing Ye Xuan's answer,

a distinctly unusual light burst forth in Su Daji's eyes.
