Chapter 44

In the eyes of all living beings, the Heavenly Dao was invincible and a supreme existence.

But at this moment, Nüwa's divine might fell into the eyes of the world, shaking their beliefs.

And above the endless void, the law chains seemed endless.

The power of Heavenly Punishment became increasingly terrifying, causing countless ancient stars to tremble crazily.

The order of the world seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

Nüwa used the infinite fortune power of the human race to bless herself and was not afraid at all.

The fortune golden dragons collided with the law chains.

Infinite small worlds exploded and were destroyed.

The extremely terrifying power swept across the entire heavens and earth.

In the end, all the power sent down by the Heavenly Dao void was dissolved.

The infinite tribulation clouds dissipated completely.

Nüwa snorted coldly and was about to retreat.

Suddenly, she felt a terrifying power born within the fortune of the human race.

This power seemed to be a kind of ultimate order power, similar to the Heavenly Dao but different.

A thoughtful look appeared in Nüwa's eyes, and then she became excited.

Human Dao, this was actually the power of the Human Dao!

No wonder establishing the Human Sect would attract Heavenly Punishment.

It turned out that the birth of the Human Dao posed a threat to the Heavenly Dao.

It was just that the Human Dao at this time was still just a sprout.

If it were to become an ultimate order, it would require the human race to constantly develop and grow.

Just at this moment, in the void, a Daoist suddenly appeared.

The Daoist radiated a mysterious Dao rhyme, as if integrated with the Heavenly Dao.

Seeing this, Nüwa arrived before Hongjun.

"Nüwa pays respects to the Teacher."

Hongjun nodded and said indifferently.

"Nüwa, do you still remember what I said last time?"

Nüwa shook her head and said with a blank expression.

"What words? The disciple doesn't quite remember."

Hongjun looked at Nüwa and said indifferently:

"I once said that as a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, you should focus on cultivation and not easily interfere in the affairs of the Honghuang world, otherwise great disaster will descend."

"Today's sudden descent of Heavenly Dao tribulation is proof of this."

Nüwa said somewhat confusedly:

"I dare not disobey the Teacher's words, but I have only established the Human Sect; when have I interfered in the affairs of the Honghuang world?"

Hongjun said:

"Your Senior Brother Laozi is a Saint destined by Heaven."

"Therefore, according to the heavenly numbers, establishing the Human Sect was originally your Senior Brother Laozi's opportunity."

"But now, the opportunity has been snatched away by you; you have defied the heavenly numbers, so the Heavenly Dao is enraged and has sent down tribulation—do you not understand yet?"

Nüwa's expression remained unchanged, but she felt somewhat strange in her heart.

She could sense that the tribulation sent down by the Heavenly Dao just now was clearly because of the birth of the Human Dao and had nothing to do with Laozi.

Why would the Teacher say this?

However, she did not point it out, but instead pretended to be confused and said:

"Is that so? But the disciple doesn't know at all."

"I only know that I am the Mother of the Human Race."

"The human race is weak and not suitable for cultivation, making it difficult to survive among the myriad races of the Honghuang world; I established the Human Sect merely to protect them so they wouldn't be bullied by the myriad races, that is all."

"If I had known this was Senior Brother Laozi's opportunity for enlightenment, I would absolutely not have snatched it."

As she spoke, she sighed.

"Alas, the Teacher should have told me earlier; otherwise, I would absolutely not have done so."

Hongjun looked at Nüwa deeply.

He could not determine whether Nüwa was pretending to be confused or truly didn't know.

If Nüwa was pretending to be confused, then that would be bad, as it would mean she had truly realized something.

He was increasingly unable to see through this disciple.

"Do you truly not know?"

Nüwa shook her head.

"Very well, since you are unaware, then I will not blame you."

Hongjun sighed and said:

"It is just that from now on, you should comply with the will of Heaven even more and not interfere in the affairs of the Honghuang world at will; otherwise, if the Heavenly Dao is enraged and sends down heavenly tribulation again, things will not be so simple."

Upon hearing this, Nüwa said noncommittally:

"The Teacher worries too much; I am the Mother of the Human Race and only manage the affairs of the human race; I have never liked participating in the struggles of the Honghuang world, so how could I disobey the Heavenly Dao at will?"

Hongjun nodded, turned into a stream of light, and disappeared directly into the void.

After Hongjun left, Nüwa descended upon the human tribe.

Sitting high on the lotus platform, she began to preach to the human race.

With the Great Dao of Creation as the foundation, she evolved infinite wonderful methods.

For a time, visions descended from the heavens, and golden lotuses sprang from the earth.

Streaks of vast immortal spiritual energy rose from the human land.

The innate humans Nüwa had molded at that time, at this moment, saw spiritual light flash in their spiritual platforms and opened their minds one after another.

As for the majority of the acquired humans, due to insufficient aptitude, they had blank expressions, their eyes full of confusion.

Nüwa sighed and did not force them, knowing well that educating the human race was not a matter of a single day, and said:

"You should focus on cultivation here and do not be lazy; you must know that only when you are strong yourselves will you not be bullied by outside races."

"We will respectfully follow the Empress's holy decree!"

The humans knelt and kowtowed in unison.

Afterward, Nüwa brought Lin Xia and flew toward the Nüwa Palace.
