Chapter 50

~8 min read 1,503 words

In a moment, Taiqing just left?!

Seeing Jin Bing smoothly send off the Taiqing sage, even easily accepting Nüwa's holy command, formally becoming the sole great chieftain of humanity, the whole plot proceeded smoothly.

Zhao Si, who had been watching the screen for a long time, couldn't react for a moment:

"We've already become disciples; shouldn't we first be taught cultivation methods and such? Leaving directly like this—what does it mean?"

Zhao Si was dumbfounded:

What a lousy master? Thinking back to the last simulation where I apprenticed to the Sun Star Sovereign—although his character was poor and his cultivation not high, in the Heavenly Court he was counted among the petty flatterers, but at least the Sun Star Sovereign properly gave Jin Bing lessons.

Even if Jin Bing later graduated from the Yingying class, the Sun Star Sovereign repeatedly exerted influence within the Heavenly Court system, helping his disciple a lot.

Um… it's not that Zhao Si deliberately looks down on Di Jun and Taiyi; it's mainly that he genuinely looks down on them…

He probably wouldn't repeat becoming the 'human purist' faction of his previous life, nor would he lead humanity down the suicidal path of extremist slaughter of other races.

In previous simulations, the Heavenly Court only took action against sages a handful of times: once, it rallied all the great divine abilities of the wilderness under the banner of righteousness to besiege the Three Pure Ones of Kunlun; once, it suppressed the rebellion of the three ancient clans; and twice, after Di Jun became a sage, he snapped his fingers to suppress the twelve ancestral witches.

And the evidence is that, when Jin Bing destroyed the clay figures, she once muttered a bizarre remark to herself:

【Since I attained the Way, in these few eras I have been struggling, because I know……】

"Let me sort things out again……"

【They've already come to urge me many times…… If I don't act, then nobody can even think……】

"Then Taiqing arrived and also exchanged some information with Nüwa, so Taiqing should also have learned from her that something was off with Jin Bing, which is why he proceeded to test him……"

Thus, this round of simulation likely cannot stir the fundamental contradiction of the Heavenly Dao; Jin Bing cannot become the anticipated 'revolutionary faction'.

And the main reason for these several actions is inseparable from the butterfly effect of this kid Jin Bing……

Leaving aside his character, at least he's doing a decent job as a master.

"By using scriptures as a cipher nineteen times in a row to transmit information across time and space, not only did Taiqing confirm Jin Bing's reincarnator identity, but he also preliminarily inferred that Jin Bing's time‑rewind ability is not a useless trick usable only a few times, but could truly be used infinitely."

They?

Zhao Si seemed to have grasped something:

"Could it be…… that at that moment, Nüwa realized Jin Bing's origin?"

All doubts now point to the humanity that was just molded:

Conscience aside, Taiqing has already done his utmost; taking on such an ill‑fated disciple bound to a powder keg is practically a household misfortune……

"Only the remaining five future sages have the qualification and ability to compel Nüwa!"

Zhao Si gradually came to understand:

"Why would these five future sages urge Nüwa to become a sage? It can only be out of vested interests, interests……"

"Could it be that if Nüwa does not become a sage, they cannot become sages either?"

So, the answer is on the verge of emerging:

"Taiqing wants to take him back to Kunlun Mountain, but Jin Bing chooses to stay among humanity……"

"Could it be that I missed some crucial information?"

"Still, having become a disciple, although Taiqing chose to sever ties with Jin Bing, he still lets him come to him for help when problems arise, which is like giving him a protective umbrella."

"Right, according to the plot, he was originally supposed to take Xuan Du of humanity as a disciple, but now Jin Bing clearly intends to manipulate humanity minutely, so Taiqing didn't even dare to take Xuan Du……"

And in the wilderness of heaven and earth, which group has the qualification and power to compel and urge Nüwa, who is only one step away from sagehood, to do something she does not want to do?

The Heavenly Court?

Zhao Si quickly shook his head, setting aside this side issue for now; the problems of humanity certainly cannot be solved with current information, so let's return to Nüwa:

"So, at the very moment Jin Bing smashed the clay figures, Nüwa probably already guessed he might be a reincarnator!"

"She knows everything; she knows that once humanity exists, disaster will surely follow, but her struggle is ineffective, because……"

That is, a group consisting of two or more people once urged Nüwa to create humanity, because if Nüwa did not create humanity, they could not achieve some goal.

I had originally thought to use Taiqing as the key to break the situation, but who would have thought that this old coot, upon hearing he'd have to get involved with the powder keg, would simply cut ties.

"This shows that, up to this point, Taiqing still intended to teach his disciple in the normal way…… So where is the problem?"

They neither established a teaching early nor late, but only after Nüwa created humanity did the five of them together establish a teaching—this clearly shows that Nüwa's becoming a sage is the 'key'; only after the key opens the lock can they enter!

"Key? Lock?"

"Humanity?"

At that time, Nüwa not only did not kill him, but also curiously asked Jin Bing about his purpose.

"Normally, Jin Bing's offensive act would surely anger Nüwa, but her reaction…… was only curiosity."

The bizarre high‑rank demon, the strangely Dao‑aligned, the bizarre exclusive merit mechanism—now even related to the sage's 'door lock'.

Zhao Si furrowed his brows, rereading the historical information in search of hidden content; his intuition told him Taiqing couldn't possibly be that incompetent.

As expected of the Taiqing sage, his single‑handed justice‑cutting technique is simply awe‑inspiring……

Thus, the severing is really just too normal……

It's quite possible that Nüwa first created humanity and became a sage, then the other five later established teachings and became sages—surely it's not just because they're all Nüwa's sycophants that they must defer to her, right?

Or perhaps the act of Nüwa creating humanity could suddenly make the five of them realize that 'establishing a teaching can lead to sagehood'—such a far‑fetched idea? What necessary connection is there between creating humanity and establishing a teaching? One would need quite a mental circuit to think of this……

"So, the reformist faction?"

Afterward, Taiqing also decisively took on disciples, and wanted to bring this precious disciple back to Kunlun Mountain for thorough study……education.

Although they made this old coot perform like a monkey nineteen times, Zhao Si had to admit the old coot had something—he easily obtained enough hidden information without relying on language or other direct means of information transmission.

But what does Taiqing mean, not teaching anything at all? Is that still being a master?

Having finally sorted out the entire plot, Zhao Si couldn't help but be speechless:

"So Taiqing teaches him nothing at all just to avoid liability, to prevent implication by the Heavenly Dao."

After a moment of contemplation, Zhao Si turned his gaze to Jin Bing's words toward Taiqing:

As a sage, Taiqing cannot possibly be unaware of what humanity signifies—it's a powder keg; whoever touches it gets blown up!

So…… Is Grand Purity cutting justice?!

Zhao Si was dumbfounded; as a disciple of a Saint, Jin Bing could not let go of the human race, clearly it neither benefited the Saint nor conformed to the doctrine of non-action of the Grand Purity Ren Sect.

To be frank, the Heavenly Court, the only legitimate regime in the Wilderness, although its power is vast, only holds absolute power over cultivators at Grand Luo and below; as for Quasi-Saints, as long as they do not openly rebel, the Heavenly Court generally enshrines them.

Here, 'inevitable' does not refer to some illusory fate, but to an explicit demand arising from an objective 'force majeure'; therefore, Nüwa had no choice but to create humans.

The secret of the human race, for the six disciples of Hongjun destined to become Saints, was actually never a secret; everyone knew it, but because of Hongjun or the Heavenly Dao, they could not speak it out.

"First, Jin Bing went to First Yang Mountain to stop Nüwa from creating humans, but failed, and was caught red-handed by Nüwa right at the start."

"The problem wasn't just unsolved; it became even more confusing……"

Meanwhile, the fact that Nüwa created humans and became a Saint is extremely likely not accidental, but inevitable!

Zhao Si curiously looked at the screen; he wanted to see how Jin Bing would micro-manipulate a relatively perfect, acceptable ending.
