Chapter 2544: Too Dangerous—Not Worth It!

"It has changed after all."

Nüwa sighed helplessly, recalling what she had once done with Donghuang Taiyi and Di Jun—everything had changed.

Fuxi patted Nüwa's shoulder, signaling her not to dwell on it, that they must look forward.

"Little sister, let's return first. There's still much in Honghuang that requires our attention. The Three Clear Ones have sent word—we must see their stance."

"Alright."

Although they did not obtain the Bodhi root, many places require it; the location of Penglai Immortal Island might hold the key to finding it.

Where is the Bodhi Ancestor? No one knows, and no one ever could.

At present, few know the whereabouts of the Longsheng Emperor; even the location of the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, like that of the Longsheng Emperor, is known only to Ancestor Minghe and Luo Fu.

If Luo Fu could arrange matters properly, there would be no need for Ancestor Minghe to act.

But Luo Fu clearly is not doing so.

Whether the Longsheng Emperor can survive this crisis is uncertain.

Returning to Nüwa Palace, Nüwa took out the Shanhe Sheji Map again and saw the people of humanity moving within it—this eased her heart somewhat.

Only if humanity endures will the fear in Nüwa's heart vanish.

No matter what, as long as Nüwa sees that sliver of guilt in humanity's heart, she can still hold on; although Yan Di and Huang Di refuse to cooperate with her, she must still watch over them.

"Where are Yan Di and Huang Di?"

"On their way to Bombarding Lingshan," Fuxi said to Nüwa, his brow furrowed.

He had just received word: Yan Di and Huang Di had followed Jiufeng to Bombarding Lingshan—they too wished to stand out there.

If they could stand out, humanity would have a foothold, and Yan Di and Huang Di would no longer need to rely on others to survive.

Luo Fu had promised Yan Di and Huang Di that if they truly proved capable, Honghuang would recognize humanity's status and abilities, allowing them to exist independently.

Nüwa sighed and said, "In the end, I failed to protect humanity—we cannot blame them."

"Little sister, this isn't about blaming humanity or blaming Yan Di and Huang Di. Right now, we must figure out how to bring them back."

"Why bring them back?" Nüwa smiled lightly.

"Yan Di and Huang Di are doing this to secure a sliver of survival for themselves—and for humanity. I will lend them my support from behind."

Hearing Nüwa's words, Fuxi fell into thought, then understood her implication—if this were true, then the matter carried both fortune and peril.

"If the Great Demon Emperor learns of this..."

"He won't learn of it."

Nüwa had her own methods—she could not contact humanity or the Wu Clan, but she could use other beings to reach them and have them aid humanity.

Nüwa still possessed this ability; Fuxi said no more.

Before them lay the Shanhe Sheji Map, Fuxi's Eight Trigrams, and Fuxi's Qin—only through their slow cultivation could these artifacts possibly become theirs to wield.

Fuxi: "If Taishang Laojun asks us to go again for the Bodhi root, we will go."

"Too dangerous—not worth it," Nüwa had her own thoughts.

Obtaining the Bodhi root is not the main issue, but inside Gai Jiuyou Mountain, the Chaos Gourd must be retrieved.
