Chapter 50: No Recourse

Their departure, Zhou Yi had long been mentally prepared for. He calculated the time and gave an approximate deadline, hoping they would return before the Wu–Demon war erupts.

"Thanks to the ancestors, I have already refined a large amount of pills, enough for us to use for a long time."

Yao Yan placed a storage bag aside, then resolutely turned and left without any hesitation.

In his heart at this moment he only thought of the flame in the south, which is the key to his strengthening.

Only by going south to obtain more power can he protect the people here.

Shi Hao also did not stay. Since arriving here, he has made little progress, and today Yao Yan's actions gave him a great revelation.

He wants to go west to seek his own opportunity and break his own limitations.

"Everyone is working for the strength of the Human Race," Zhou Yi said softly, looking toward the direction they left.

He still has three hundred thousand credit points, and if luck is on his side, he can accelerate the growth of three Human Race strongmen.

Now his task is to maintain the current good situation of the Human Race, ensuring no problems arise.

The wine brewed by the Human Race is becoming increasingly popular, and with improved relations with the Wu Clan and the Demon Race, the Human Race's reputation is rising.

However, because of Zhou Yi's earlier actions, when people mention the Human Race, they first think of Zhou Yi, not Nüwa, the creator of the Human Race.

This cause-and-effect gives Nüwa unprecedented pressure; she watches helplessly as the Human Race's Mandate of Heaven drifts away bit by bit, which pains her more than having her own Mandate directly stripped.

Inside the Kua Palace in Chaos, Nüwa faces the continual loss of the Mandate, her gaze turning cold: "Zhou Yi…"

"Madam, please calm your anger." At that moment, Xuan Niao arrived carrying a spirit fruit.

Seeing Xuan Niao's arrival, Nüwa immediately restrained her anger, regaining her former solemnity and sanctity, and took a few fruits from the tray to taste.

"Have you tried that wine that's been spreading all over the Vast Wilderness World lately?" For some reason, Nüwa suddenly asked this question.

Hearing this, Xuan Niao was terrified and immediately fell to his knees, "Spare me, madam, I'll throw the wine away at once."

It turned out Xuan Niao indeed had some wine, which had been given to him by a disciple of another Saint.

He thought the wine tasted good, but did not expect such consequences.

He left only a tiny amount.

He did not expect this to catch Nüwa's attention. It is something made by the Human Race, and Human Race matters have already greatly troubled Nüwa.

"Bring this up for me, I want to taste it," Nüwa's voice was calm yet full of authority.

Xuan Niao felt a bit hesitant, glanced secretly at Nüwa, but still presented the wine.

Looking at the rough bamboo tube, Nüwa frowned. Yet when the wine aroma spread, her expression suddenly changed.

After a gentle sip, she showed nothing on her face, but inside she was tumultuous, indescribably complex. The Human Race's development exceeded her expectations.

Because she still has a subtle connection with the Human Race, she can see its destiny rapidly growing.

This makes Nüwa both angry and anxious. But regarding the wine that Zhou Yi and his companions created, she has to admit...

"Here, take it; drink it if you wish, you can also buy some regularly, I don't oppose," after speaking, Nüwa's figure vanished within the Kua Palace, leaving only a beam of light racing toward the Eight Scenes Palace deep in the Vast Wilderness World.

Taishang was originally cultivating, when suddenly he felt his eyelid twitch.

He sensed something in his heart, waved his hand lightly, and the gate of the Eight Scenes Palace slowly opened, revealing Nüwa's figure at the entrance.

"Your perception is truly sharp, Taishang," Nüwa said first.

"How do you find the time to come see me?" Taishang smiled faintly.

He noticed that recently Nüwa's emotional fluctuations are great, and all of this relates to the Human Race.

"You also drank the Human Race's wine, didn't you?" Nüwa asked.

Taishang nodded, remaining silent.

Yuanshi Tianzun once brought this wine, and he also tasted it, finding it indeed has many merits.

"What is the whole Vast Wilderness World talking about now? When people mention the Human Race, they only think of Zhou Yi; no one remembers me."

"Not only outsiders, even the Human Race itself no longer acknowledges its connection with me."

"I can feel the Human Race's destiny actively detaching from me."

Hearing this, Taishang looked at Nüwa seriously; the development of this situation also greatly surprised him.

As for matters concerning the Human Race, he had heard some before.

At first he didn't pay much attention, but now it seems he must take it seriously.

While they were chatting, two figures appeared outside the Eight Scenes Palace gate.

"Haha, today my Eight Scenes Palace is truly lively."

Taishang waved his hand, and the great door slowly opened.

The arrivals were Jieyin and Zhunti.

The two looked at Taishang and Nüwa, silently laughing that these two fellows were made so embarrassed by a Human Race.

Although their current situation is unfavorable, this is not something they can mock.

"Junior brothers, what wind blew you here?" Nüwa asked calmly.

"We heard the recent rumors in the Vast Wilderness World, so we came specially to offer strategies to senior sister."

Zhunti replied with a smile.

"Tell us, what good ideas do you have?"

Nüwa sneered inwardly; this matter made both she and Taishang very

The two, disregarding Taishang's and Nüwa's slightly contemptuous gazes, spoke directly:

"You are the mother of the Human Race; since you created it, as long as you still have a connection with the Human Race, you can remove Zhou Yi from the Human Race."

"Although your control over the Human Race has weakened, as long as you exclude him from the Human Race, he will have no recourse."

"Once he is no longer part of the Human Race, then the so‑called Human Race strongmen, the Mandate Golden Body, he will no longer be able to"

"By then, how the Human Race decides its fate will still be up to you, senior sister."

Taishang and Nüwa exchanged a glance, a flash of enlightenment passing through their eyes.

How could they not have thought of this?

One is the leader of the Ren Sect, the other is the creator god of the Human Race.

Expelling a certain person from the Human Race should be as easy as turning over one's hand.

But they had previously been left in a terrible state by that person, even overlooking this simplest solution.

"Thank you both, junior brothers, for the reminder. It seems I was negligent. For now, I thank you for your good intentions." Nüwa said.

"Don't mention it, senior sister. We came this time just to offer strategies, and incidentally to establish friendly relations with you, senior sister, so that if there is ever a need to help the Western Sect in the future..."

Jieyin's words trailed off mid-sentence.

Actually, everyone already understood implicitly.

Taishang and Nüwa nodded to indicate, said nothing more, and tacitly accepted the two's expectations.

This is an important treasure concerning the fate of the Human Race; I have been keeping it, and now I lend it to you for use. Taishang hardened his heart and produced the Kongtong Seal.

Although the Kongtong Seal is not yet fully formed, it has already had a certain influence on the fate of the Human Race.
