Chapter 176: Ah, suffering... the Heavenly Dao's eye is fixed on this seat?!

Just amidst the gaze and discussion of all beings.

Finally, a full ten million mu of merit completely merged into Nüwa's body, making her ever more extraordinary and awe-inspiring, her might vast, truly terrifying.

The Dao has been proven!

Nüwa's aura is now different from before.

In the opening and closing of her beautiful eyes, a vast galaxy seemed to swirl, the heavens turning into view.

Every gesture radiated profound and inscrutable Dao patterns and cosmic order, immensely powerful beyond imagination.

Her fairy robes fluttered as she hovered above, so beautiful it was unimaginable, like a divine spirit not of this world.

Yet at the same time, an aura of supreme dominance spread, looking down on past, present, and future, transcending the nine heavens and ten earths.

Her eyes swept slightly.

At this moment, the 12,996,000 human beings had also awakened.

"Humanity thanks Holy Mother Nüwa for the grace of creation and bestowal of names!"

The human beings all knelt in worship, their faces showing reverence and awe.

This scene was to be expected.

But immediately after, the human beings turned to worship Chen Ku beside them.

"We humans also thank Holy Father for his grace!"

For a moment, all beings clamored, shock and regret mingling!

Chen Ku... actually gained the reputation of Holy Father of humanity?!

Nüwa as Holy Mother, Chen Ku as Holy Father?!

This... the beings' expressions turned strange, their hearts stirred, giving rise to wandering thoughts.

On Mount Buzhou, Chen Ku likewise raised his eyebrows.

But soon after, he secretly understood the reason.

"Perhaps because I once stood in for Nüwa's Uncle-master, shaping human bodies and imparting spiritual qi to them?"

"So perhaps they left a corresponding mark in their hearts?"

Not bad!

During the earlier process of creating humans, when Nüwa was exhausted and unable to continue, Chen Ku also helplessly lent a hand.

In his hands, he likely created about one-tenth of the human beings and imparted spiritual qi to them.

It seems that during humanity's coming into being, they themselves were aware of everything.

Beside them, Nüwa showed no displeasure at humanity's action.

"This time, this palace could create humans and attain sainthood thanks to your indispensable contribution, junior disciple."

"To enjoy humanity's renown and be honored as Holy Father is quite natural."

"In the future, I will certainly repay this karmic debt of attaining sainthood."

Nüwa treated the matter solemnly.

She knew that without Chen Ku's guidance and help, she could not have created humanity, nor obtained such vast merit.

Or rather, Nüwa could never have proven the Dao and attained sainthood so quickly.

This karmic bond of attaining sainthood surpasses all worldly weight, unequaled and cannot be ignored.

Hearing this, Chen Ku gave a faint smile.

"Hehe, Nüwa Uncle-master, you're being polite."

He actually didn't care about whatever Nüwa might repay later.

After all, this batch had already divided millions of mu of merit, which for Chen Ku was already a considerable return.

Nüwa neither affirmed nor denied, merely shifted her tone and continued:

"Right now, this palace has just attained sainthood and wishes to go beyond Chaos to establish a dojo, preparing to preach to all beings."

"The human beings will need your care, junior disciple."

"As Holy Father of humanity, you also bear this mission; surely you won't refuse, junior disciple?"

Nüwa's words were reasonable and fitting.

Saints transcend the world, towering above heaven, earth, and all beings.

Therefore, if we continued to stay in the Heavenly Court alongside the Demon Race, it would be somewhat unsuitable.

Establishing a dojo beyond Chaos is only natural.

Moreover, Nüwa also knows that she is now the focus of all beings.

Countless powerful beings will surely also wish to hear her insights on attaining sainthood.

Preaching and spreading the Dharma is also something that should be done.

This, too, is the duty of a saint to educate all beings.

But at the end of her words, a sly and "sinister" glint flashed in Nüwa's eyes.

"Let you, brat, previously nagging nonstop, urging this palace to create humans."

"Now, let you experience what it feels like to look after these humans."

Nüwa thus also harbored a "revenge" thought toward Chen Ku.

As her words fell, Nüwa did not wait for Chen Ku's reply, but immediately drifted away, vanishing above the high heavens.

Chen Ku instantly wore a bewildered expression.

No way?!

She just left?!

"Ah, suffering..."

"You've all become sages, and you're still this petty?"

"Chen Ku, how could he not understand Nüwa's 'little scheme'? He couldn't help but mutter this under his breath."

"In the world, who else dares to criticize a sage like this? Probably only him."

"However, complaining is useless. Chen Ku looked at the naive and ignorant humans before him, and suddenly felt a headache, quite worried."

"Staying on Mount Buzhou to look after the humans?"

"That's obviously impossible. Chen Ku still needs to continue studying his Three Lives Buddha Body Union to break through the Peak of the Mixed Yuan Golden Immortal realm."

"The only good news is that, thanks to Chen Ku's persistence earlier, the 129,600 humans all have Innate Dao Bodies, and the weakest among them now are at Golden Immortal cultivation."

"Golden Immortal... is still not enough."

"Chen Ku secretly grinned."

"Golden Immortal cultivation can at most be said to have only a little self-defense ability."

"But placed in the vast Primordial Heaven and Earth, it can still only be called an existence like an ant."

"After all, in the present world, Great Nets walk everywhere, and Grand Seconds are worse than dogs."

"If these humans were left here, it's hard to guarantee they wouldn't suffer some calamity."

"Or... take them back to Western Heaven and Earth?!"

"That way, it would be more convenient for me to protect the humans completely."

"Second, it could also increase the beings of the West."

"That's killing two birds with one stone."

"Thinking this, Chen Ku looked over the human beings and immediately said:"

"You human beings, today follow me to the West......"

"Before Chen Ku could finish speaking."

"In an instant, a terrifying aura suddenly arose in his sea of consciousness."

"The Purple Star Divination Great Divine Ability began to operate on its own, and that ominous premonition that made his heart palpitate once again became crystal clear."

"Instantly, Chen Ku's whole body stiffened."

"Boom—"

"Above his head, the rumbling of the Heavenly Dao from the void echoed again."

"This is......"

"Chen Ku realized what it was, grimaced, used his Heavenly Eye Ability, and looked up."

"Indeed!"

"A familiar scene reappeared."

"Only see that enormous, soul‑captivating Heavenly Dao's Eye once again hanging high in the nine heavens, coldly gazing at Chen Ku."

"Chen Ku's expression instantly fell."

"Bitterness, bitterness......"

"Why does this Heavenly Dao's Eye keep staring at me?"

"Warning!"

"Intimidation!"

"This time, the might of the Heavenly Dao's Eye was even more terrifying than when Chen Ku previously prepared to slay Di Jun, making scalps explode and bodies turn cold."

"Chen Ku was completely helpless."

"If it were any other ordinary cultivator, perhaps they could never in their lifetime attract the Heavenly Dao's Eye to descend."

"How am I so jinxed? Everywhere I'm stared at by the Heavenly Dao's Eye."

"Thinking this, he also immediately sensed it."

"Moments later, the only message conveyed from the Heavenly Dao's Eye was:"

"The Heavenly Dao's Will does not allow the humans to go to the West!"

"No need to think much; Chen Ku also knew the reason."

"Is the humans' great calamity unavoidable?"

"He muttered to himself."

"In the workings of fate, the humans are also an existence that cannot be ignored when the Witch‑Demon Great Calamity erupts."

"However, in that Great Calamity, the humans were slaughtered en masse by the Demon Race, with countless beings shedding blood."

"In fact, earlier Chen Ku had wanted to bring the humans to the West, also intending to avoid this calamity."

"But now it seems this plan is obviously impossible."

"The humans must undergo slaughter and tribulation to become the true protagonists of the Primordial Heaven and Earth."

"Upon realizing this, Chen Ku became even more worried and grim."

"Can't take them away?!"

"What should be done?!"
