Chapter 295: Chapter 230 Nuwa Creates Humans_2
In an instant, the mud sculpture underwent rapid changes, becoming even more lifelike than when it already possessed the breath of life.
The earthy-yellow sculpture at that moment seemed exceptionally harmonious.
Suddenly, it opened its eyes, which were very bright and expressive.
Its mouth opened slightly as if to speak, but then its body began to collapse from the head down, quickly reverting to a lump of mud.
The aura of creation dissipated, and the Creation Spirit Light vanished along with it.
Nuwa, originally joyful, suddenly froze.
Had she chosen the wrong path?
Nuwa pondered in her heart.
However, in an instant, Nuwa firmed up her belief.
No, she had not chosen the wrong path.
She trusted in herself, in the Hongmeng Purple Qi; this was her Path of Saint.
Nuwa furrowed her brows, contemplating what could have gone wrong.
She began to try continuously, wanting to find the error.
One by one, the sculptures were molded, and she endowed each with Creation Spirit Light, transforming them into real beings.
Yet, these sculptures, like the very first created, began to collapse before uttering a single word.
The Creation Aura dispersed, and the Creation Spirit Light was nowhere to be seen.
However, Nuwa did not give up and kept on trying.
Di Jun was always there, protecting her path.
At first, when Di Jun saw Nuwa’s failure, he didn’t pay much attention.
After all, failure in the creation of humans was quite normal.
But as he saw Nuwa failing continuously, never succeeding, he realized something was fundamentally abnormal.
According to the legends of her previous life, Nuwa first created humans by hand, and then with the Innate Gourd Vine.
Yet, from Di Jun’s current perspective, Nuwa’s state clearly wouldn’t result in creating humans.
Di Jun also pondered on what the problem could be.
He did not stop Nuwa right away but instead expanded his Spiritual Power, closely observing the entire process of her human creation.
The mud was sculpted into figures like those with Innate Taoist Bodies, the Creation Aura poured in, giving the sculptures a breath of life, and then Nuwa infused them with Creation Spirit Light.
The Creation Spirit Light penetrated them, linking with the breath of life, and the sculptures seemed to come to life.
Everything appeared quite normal.
But the sculptures only existed momentarily before they began to collapse, reverting back to a lump of clay.
Nuwa showed no reaction but continued with the next sculpture.
Seeing this, Di Jun couldn’t help but think.
Blinded by the obvious, something so simple, how could we have not realized it?
Nuwa did not respond, still busy with the sculpture in her hands.
Seeing this, Di Jun knew that Nuwa’s mind had once again immersed in the task, dedicated to finding a breakthrough, a solution.
And with Di Jun’s presence, Nuwa was deeply absorbed without worry.
Di Jun shook his head at this.
Then his Spiritual Power surged around him as he spoke softly, “Daoist Nuwa, awaken.”
His Spiritual Power turned into words, directly striking Nuwa’s spirit, startling her from her immersion.
Nuwa looked at Di Jun with a blank expression, almost unconsciously saying, “Daoist Di Jun.”
But in a flash, Nuwa regained her clarity, looked at the piles of mud on the ground, and understood they were all her handiwork.
“Daoist Nuwa, you’re mistaken.”
“No, there’s no mistake, this path isn’t wrong.”
Despite her countless failures, Nuwa still spoke with a firm conviction.
Hearing Nuwa’s words, Di Jun knew she had misunderstood his intent and immediately explained.
“It’s not the path that’s wrong, but the material.”
“The material is wrong?”
Nuwa couldn’t help but whisper to herself in echo.
This statement was like a bolt from the blue, instantly awakening her from her confusion, as if a path had appeared before her.
Yes, the material for creating humans.
Meanwhile, Di Jun continued, “The race that could carry the opportunity for Daoist Nuwa to become a Saint must not be simple. How can one create it with such ordinary materials?”
“Moreover, as this race will be Innate Taoist Bodies, they should be made from Innate Spiritual Objects.”
“Although this place is made of the mud of Buzhou Mountain, it is still a creation of later heaven, and compared to Innate Spiritual Objects, it’s simply too mundane.”
Accompanying Daoist Di Jun’s words, Nuwa’s eyes grew increasingly bright.
So that’s how it is, so simple, why hadn’t I thought of this?
Nuwa thought to herself.
A leaf before the eye can prevent the view of Mount Tai, and so it is with everything else.
Daoist Di Jun also felt a moment of emotion in his heart.
“Thank you, Daoist Di Jun.”
Nuwa bowed deeply in thanks, then wished to continue with creation.
She considered the Innate Spiritual Objects in her possession, but found none suitable, and paused once more.
Di Jun was not surprised by Nuwa’s reaction.
After all, she was on the verge of becoming a Saint, and it is easy to overlook many things.
Thus, Di Jun said to Nuwa, “Being about to become the Demon Clan Saint, all the materials you need should naturally be prepared by the Demon Clan.”
“I ask Daoist Nuwa to wait here for a moment, and adjust her state while I prepare the materials.”
“I appreciate the effort, Daoist Di Jun,”
Immediately after, Nuwa sat in meditation at the summit of Buzhou Mountain, adjusting her own breath and restoring her condition.
The failure just now had drained a lot of her spiritual power, leaving her feeling very weary.
Meanwhile, Bai Ze arrived at the Palace of the Polestar.
“I pay my respects to the Heavenly Emperor, and to the Empress.”
Di Jun’s clone promptly said, “Daoist Bai Ze, there is no need for formalities, I am not the original.”
“The purpose of Daoist Bai Ze’s visit has already been communicated to me by my original.”
A stream of light flew out from the clone of Di Jun and landed in Bai Ze’s hand.
“With this seal, Daoist Bai Ze can go to the Demon Clan’s treasury, retrieve the Nine Heavens Breath Soil, and bring it to Buzhou Mountain,”
“Understood. The Demon Emperor has already instructed me telepathically,”
The clone nodded and spoke, “There is no time to delay, Daoist Bai Ze, please hurry.”
After bowing again, Bai Ze took his leave from the Palace of the Polestar.
“Has Daoist Nuwa become a Saint?”
“I do not know; my original has not communicated any information about the Wa Emperor to me,”
Di Jun stood at the summit, looking toward the Primordial Starry Sky.
His spiritual power permeated throughout, covering the Primordial Starry Sky.
Donghuang Taiyi looked up, sensing a familiar presence appear on the Sun Star, and couldn’t help but say, “Elder brother.”
However, he received no response, sensing only that the sunlight from the Sun Star dimmed slightly.
Chang Xi felt this familiar presence and softly said.
Other Star Gods on their Main Stars also felt this familiar presence and bowed in reverence, saying, “Heavenly Emperor.”
Standing at the summit of Buzhou Mountain, Di Jun looked towards a small sphere before him, within which liquid was constantly swirling, and quietly said, “Sunlight, moonlight, starlight. These Three Lights Divine Water should be enough.”
Despite being just a small ball, its inner space was vast and boundless.
“I pay my respects to the Demon Emperor.”
At this moment, Bai Ze arrived and said.
“Where is the Nine Heavens Breath Soil?”
With a thought from Bai Ze, the Nine Heavens Breath Soil appeared before Di Jun.
The Nine Heavens Breath Soil was not large, merely the size of a normal person’s head, and represented the entire collection of the Demon Clan since its inception.
A single grain of Nine Heavens Breath Soil could transform into an entire mountain range.
Moreover, the Nine Heavens Breath Soil being an Innate Spiritual Object, the mountain range it formed was not an ordinary one but a Primordial Mountain Range.
However, the amount of Innate Spiritual Energy contained within it was uncertain.
Perhaps, after countless ages, the mountain range might transform from Innate to post-celestial.
Bai Ze also saw Nuwa resting there but said nothing, merely standing quietly behind Di Jun.
After a long while, Nuwa adjusted herself to her peak condition.
She looked towards Di Jun, saw Bai Ze, and also saw the floating small ball and the Nine Heavens Breath Soil rich in Innate aura.
“Daoist Nuwa, take the Nine Heavens Breath Soil as the base, meld it into the mud with the essence of the Three Lights, forming Innate Mud suitable as material for creating life,”
Di Jun looked at Nuwa with a smile and said.
