Chapter 24: Nuwa Creates Humans, Heavenly Rice Merit

A thousand years of time passed in the snap of a finger.

Within the Primordial World, as the conflict between the Witch and Demon Clans continued to escalate, fierce battles frequently broke out between the twelve Ancestral Witches and Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi.

The increasingly intense situation allowed some of the Primordial Great Gods to perceive the arrival of the Great Calamity.

Judging by the current situation, the two clans were fundamentally irreconcilable.

Therefore, a great war between the two clans could erupt at any moment.

However, although the great war had not yet broken out, countless localized wars had already occurred.

And it was at this time that Nuwa of the Demon Clan descended upon the Primordial Land, witnessing with her own eyes the war fires spreading everywhere and the Primordial Land plunged into misery.

Amidst the palpitations of her heart, a sense of compassion for the world welled up within her.

Walking and stopping, she arrived at the side of a great river, looking at her reflection in the water and falling into silent contemplation.

……

【Congratulations on participating in 3 Friend Interactions of Ten Thousand Worlds】

【You have obtained a Saint-Grade Favorability Talisman】

【You have obtained a small amount of Heavenly Rice Merit】

……

Yuanyi World.

Gu Zhangqing was enjoying a moment of family happiness.

A familiar voice rang out.

He glanced at the rewards and smiled slightly.

Ever since he merged with the will of the All Heavens, his will could traverse the All Heavens, with avatars descending into countless Ganges-sand worlds and Small Thousand Worlds.

And because of the system, Gu Zhangqing had successfully found the Great Tang World, the Tian Long World, and the Spirit Cage World.

After pulling the three Small Thousand Worlds into the Yuanyi World, everything became simple.

The rewards were so plentiful that his hands grew soft from collecting them.

"Saint-Grade Favorability Talisman?"

Gu Zhangqing smiled slightly.

At this point in the timeline, it seems Nuwa is about to create humans, right?

……

The Primordial World keeps no count of years,

and no one knows how much time has passed.

By the Yellow River,

Nuwa was currently molding many low-level innate creatures in the likeness of the myriad spirits of the world.

Perhaps due to a lack of something, the innate creatures she molded were basically Mortal Grade beings without any cultivation, and none of them showed any signs of intelligence.

In the Primordial World, even a strange beast that had not yet taken human form could annihilate them.

Just as she frowned, she suddenly froze while looking at her own reflection.

Then, she continued to scoop up mud from the Yellow River and slowly began to mold it according to her own form.

Soon, a mud figure with a rudimentary human shape appeared in her hands.

Subsequently, she blew a breath of Creation Qi onto it.

An ape-man appeared in the palm of her hand.

However, seeing the ape-man squawking and lacking any spiritual nature, she discarded it to the side.

After some thought, she suddenly took a large lump of Nine Heavens Breathing Soil and some Three Brilliance Divine Water from the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

She placed them into the top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Qiankun Cauldron, to refine them for a while, and then, as before, carefully molded them according to her own form and appearance.

This scene made the eyebrows of Gu Zhangqing, who was hiding to the side, twitch repeatedly.

Whether it was an illusion or not, Gu Zhangqing sensed an unknown gaze watching him for a moment.

Gu Zhangqing rolled his eyes immediately and curled his lip at the sky.

No need to guess; as a Supreme God, no one could watch him without being sensed by him.

And as for the only one in the Primordial World who could avoid his detection, it could only be that fellow Hongjun.

If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't truly achieved the Proof of Rice as a Creation God, if it weren't for the fact that Hongjun had already merged with the Heavenly Rice, and if it weren't for the sake of the system's choices and the birth of the Human Race.

Gu Zhangqing would definitely let Hongjun know that peeping is really not a very good habit.

While Gu Zhangqing was feeling annoyed, Nuwa had already finished molding the first mud figure.

Little did he know that his current behavior was no different from Hongjun's peeping.

At this moment, Nuwa, having finished molding the first mud figure, once again blew a breath of Creation Qi onto the creation in her hand.

Under the transformation of the Creation Qi, a beautiful female human appeared in the eyes of Gu Zhangqing, Nuwa, and even Hongjun.

Not to mention Nuwa, who was female herself and watching openly, unlike Gu Zhangqing and Hongjun, who, for some unknown mentality, were actually peeping in secret.

It was simply unscrupulous and unworthy of being Great Gods of Heaven and Earth.

In fact, Gu Zhangqing felt no ripples about this.

If he truly wanted to see something, who in the world could resist the scrutiny of innate Great Gods like them?

That bit of covering in the eyes of innate Great Gods like them was basically equivalent to nothing.

Unless you were wearing clothes made of a Divine Artifact, Immortal Artifact, or Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Otherwise... heh.

This was also because these long-lived innate Great Gods disdained to do such things.

Otherwise, they wouldn't even need to cultivate; they could just spend their days running around the Primordial Land peeping.

Nuwa looked at the beautiful and graceful woman in her hands, a sense of joy instantly flowing through her heart.

She had, after all, created an innate living being that possessed intelligence.

Moreover, it was an innate living being that possessed the Innate Rice Body the moment it was born.

The Innate Rice Body is the form that the ten thousand races of Honghuang transform into upon taking human shape.

For reasons unknown, all existences in Honghuang that undergo transformation are basically in human form, and they are more closely aligned with the Great Rice, so the gods of Honghuang all refer to it as the Innate Rice Body.

Strictly speaking, the Holy Spirit Race nurtured by Gu Zhangqing could also be called the Innate Rice Body.

It is just that they are not as pure as the Human Race.

After all, the forms of the Holy Spirit Race are still somewhat different from the Innate Rice Body that the ten thousand races of Honghuang take after transformation.

Having completed her first work, Nuwa, in her excitement, quickly began to mold the next Human Race living being.

However, this time she did not mold a female human; instead, she used the form of her brother Fuxi as a template to mold the second Human Race living being.

……

With the experience from the first time, Nuwa quickly molded a humanoid clay figure this time.

As Nuwa molded it bit by bit without pause, she was actually more proficient than when she molded the female the first time.

Although it was molded, Gu Zhangqing, who was hidden to the side, was very curious.

Nuwa really understands, huh~ she is so skilled!

Across his two lifetimes totaling over a thousand epochs, he would not dare to say he definitely understands the structure of women completely.

Although this was also because he had not gone to study it carefully, it could not be denied that Nuwa truly understood more than him, a shut-in from his century, and this was something he could not quite figure out.

If he had this ability, he would not have created some "neither fish nor fowl" creatures within the Yuanyi World back then.

Could it be because she and Fuxi had been completely candid with each other and had discussed life together?

Gu Zhangqing thought to himself in suspicion.

Or perhaps it was because she and Fuxi were born from the same womb?

So she would understand a little more or less.

However, why should I, a dignified God Court Lord, be thinking about these things?

Gu Zhangqing asked himself in self-doubt.

Oh~! This damned shut-in life has actually made my thoughts impure!

Gu Zhangqing could not help but curse in frustration.

Just as Gu Zhangqing was letting his imagination run wild, Nuwa had already molded over three hundred of them, and she stopped her movements to look at the large mass of Nine Heavens Breathing Soil and Three Brilliance Divine Water in her hands, lost in thought.

Seeing this, Gu Zhangqing knew it was time for him to make an appearance.
