Chapter 2044

Nüwa also hoped that the yao race had been manipulated or deceived, so their sins might be somewhat lessened—but unfortunately, even Nüwa herself did not believe it.

Jiutou Niao Guiche had a violent temper, and Nüwa understood better than anyone else.

Even when Nüwa and Fuxi were among the yao race, they had experienced Jiutou Niao Guiche's fury.

"You mean the Emperor won't intervene?"

"Nanji Xianweng was sent down by Master Yuanshi to rebuke them—do you think the Emperor won't act?"

"But the two of them have already gone to Penglai Immortal Island."

Nüwa was also filled with regret; she had taken out the Shanhe Sheji Map and the Fuxi Qin to aid the yao race in entering Penglai Immortal Island, but never imagined it would ultimately harm them.

Without these two weapons of his, Donghuang Taiyi and Di Jun might never have left the yao court.

If the two of them had never left the yao court, perhaps Jiutou Niao Guiche's incident would never have happened.

"There are no 'what ifs.'"

"Little sister, this isn't something I should say—but I've remembered what Nanji Xianweng said."

Nüwa finally nodded. "Fine. Let's return to Nüwa Palace and cultivate diligently, along with the surviving scrolls left by the ancient demonic gods."

"Don't worry—I still have the Fuxi Bagua."

The power of the Fuxi Bagua was immense—it was a bagua diagram created by Fuxi himself, truly extraordinary, even causing Fuxi to marvel at its strength.

Whether they liked it or not, they were already entangled in it.

With their absolute advantage, the yao race and the wu race could crush them—that would already be enough.

For the same reason, they might truly not know whether they could resolve it.

"Follow the will of Heaven!"

"Alright."

Nüwa had become much more rational; since attaining sainthood, she could claim merit from the human race, and human capabilities were also part of her own.

Nüwa's heart was now vast enough to extend beyond just the yao race.

If she confined herself solely to the yao race, there would be no possibility of action—and the yao race had long been critical, even cruel, toward humans and the wu race.

Once she understood this, Nüwa's thoughts on other matters became clear.

Fuxi exhaled in relief. "Let's go back. All of this will naturally be resolved by Donghuang Taiyi and the Emperor—it no longer concerns us."

Unless the yao race come to beg for help!

Fuxi held his own thoughts—if the yao race truly came begging to them, it would mean the yao race's impending destruction.

Since Nanji Xianweng came bearing Master Yuanshi's words, the yao race of Honghuang must have heard the rumors—most likely, they won't come bothering Nüwa again.

Nüwa must accumulate merit; after attaining sainthood, her heart had gained great calm, no longer as agitated as before, no longer only pitying the yao race.

The human race needs Nüwa's pity more!

Moreover, since the human race emerged, they have struggled to survive, caught between the wu race and the yao race.

The human race had no means of self-defense—they were merely fish on the chopping block for the yao race and the wu race; one misstep, and they would die without reason.

When Nüwa thought of this, her heart ached even more.

The yao race did not yet know Nüwa and Fuxi's thoughts—they still believed they could summon reinforcements.

Several great yao saints all wanted Nüwa to intervene.

Nüwa is already a saint—her intervention would surely repel the wu race.
