Chapter 254: Nuwa

Within the Outer Space.

One by one, the originally barren and lonely planets, following the call of the Zhaoyao Banner, gradually gathered groups of Demon Race creatures.

They came from every corner of the Primordial Land, drawn here by a mysterious force, their hearts filled with trepidation.

However, when they saw that familiar figure—Nuwa—all their unease and fear vanished into thin air.

Nuwa's status among the Demon Race had always been transcendent, but she had never managed affairs; otherwise, Di Jun and Taiyi would truly not have held such high positions.

At this moment, Nuwa stood in the starry sky, her posture upright, her expression kind.

She looked at the respectful Demon Race before her, her eyes filled with pity and expectation.

She knew that although these Demon Race members had once been enemies of the Human Race, since they had now chosen to surrender, they should be given a chance to start over.

This opportunity was also something her brother had fought for.

Thinking of Fuxi, she naturally already knew from her Good Corpse Mengpo that Fuxi had been reincarnated. She also knew that Fuxi had begun his journey of Proving the Dao, so she naturally should take action on her side as well.

Thus, Nuwa took a deep breath and slowly raised both hands.

"Hum!"

Instantly, a majestic Saint power surged from her body, transforming into streams of gentle light that sprinkled down upon the barren planets in the Outer Space.

Under the illumination of these rays, the originally dead planets began to glow with vibrant life.

The barren land became fertile, trees rapidly sprouted tender buds and grew, and dried-up rivers flowed once again with clear water.

Even those Demon Race creatures felt an unprecedented comfort and peace under the nourishment of this Saint power.

While Nuwa exerted her Saint power to transform the planets, she felt the flow of the Human Dao Saint power within her.

She discovered that compared to the Human Dao Saint power, the Heavenly Dao Saint power, while powerful and majestic, lacked that quality of warmth and inclusiveness. The Human Dao Saint power, however, was like a mother's embrace, warm and loving, making one feel a sense of belonging.

As the transformation deepened, Nuwa was surprised to find that her strength had actually improved unconsciously after becoming a Human Dao Saint.

She understood that this was because, in utilizing the Human Dao Saint power, she had become closer to the origin of the Primordial Land's creatures, creating a deeper connection with the Primordial Land itself.

Conversely, the Heavenly Dao power was not as easy to utilize because Hongjun had set many restrictions.

The sisters Xihe were likewise not idle; under Nuwa's guidance, they also began to busy themselves.

They utilized their Lunar Star power to provide shelter for the creatures in the Outer Space, while also sowing the seeds of life on various planets, making this a new world full of vitality and vigor.

After a period of busyness, the Outer Space was completely transformed.

The Demon Race creatures found a new home here, and also found a future that belonged to them.

From then on, the Demon Race also officially became a part of Humanity.

After finishing these things, Nuwa did not return to the Primordial Land, but remained in the Outer Space, staying with the sisters Xihe within the Lunar Star.

She had previously discovered that the five Saints of the Heavenly Dao Faction—the Three Pure Ones and the Western Two Sages—were all outside the Thirty-Three Heavens, and she did not know what they were plotting. And just now, the five of them had suddenly left, which always made her feel they had something to do.

With nothing else to do, she naturally sat in command of the Outer Space for the time being, just in time to keep an eye on the movements of the Heavenly Dao Faction.

In Zixiao Palace, the Three Pure Ones and the Western Two Sages respectfully met with Hongjun.

Hongjun's gaze swept over them one by one, and he slowly asked, "Saints, regarding the matter of opening up a Dao field, do you have any thoughts or plans?"

The several Saints looked at each other, all showing expressions of shame.

Laozi, as the head of the Three Pure Ones, was the first to bow and say, "Dao Ancestor, we are ashamed; regarding the matter of opening up a Dao field, we truly do not yet have mature thoughts."

Hongjun nodded slightly, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Very well, today I shall explain it to you properly. Opening up a Dao field is, in fact, opening up a world. This world is connected to the Great Desolation, yet it has its own unique rules and order; it can be said to be a special part of the Great Desolation."

"Opening a Dao field has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that you can freely exert yourselves within it, without the many constraints of the Great Desolation's Heavenly Dao rules; the disadvantage is that if the Dao field does not develop well, it will also affect your own strength," Hongjun continued to elaborate.

Jieyin Daoren, one of the Western Two Sages, asked in confusion, "Dao Ancestor, I wonder how this Dao field affects our strength?"

Hongjun explained, "After a Dao field is opened, if it is to continue to grow, it must be connected to your own origin. In this way, the growth and prosperity of the creatures within the Dao field will feed back into you. If the Dao field develops prosperously and the creatures are harmonious, your strength will naturally increase accordingly; conversely, if the Dao field decays and the creatures suffer, your strength will also be weakened."

Hearing this, the Three Pure Ones and the Western Two Sages all revealed solemn expressions.

They realized that opening a Dao field was not just a simple task, but a major decision concerning their own strength.

Of course, most of them were still full of interest in opening a Dao field.

After all, after they became Heavenly Dao Saints, it was not easy to improve their strength, and wasn't this a good opportunity right now? Tongtian was the first to ask impatiently, "Dao Ancestor, I wonder how we should go about opening a Dao field?"

Hongjun smiled slightly and said, "To open a Dao field, you must first understand your own Dao, then find a suitable place, use great magic power to open it, and evolve your understanding of the world within it. In this process, you must constantly pay attention to the growth and changes of the creatures within the Dao field and adjust the rules and order in a timely manner to ensure the prosperity of the Dao field."

Upon hearing this, the Saints all fell into deep thought. They began to contemplate their own Dao and how to choose a location suitable for opening a Dao field.

Before long, Yuanshi Tianzun spoke up, "Dao Ancestor, may we incorporate some of the Great Desolation's rules and order when opening the Dao field?"

Hongjun nodded and said, "Naturally, you may. Although the Dao field is independent of the Great Desolation, it can also be connected to it. You may introduce some of the rules and order from the Great Desolation into the Dao field as a foundation, and then use that as a basis for development."

As Hongjun's explanation deepened, the Saints raised various questions and insights one after another.

Hongjun answered them one by one, nodding in approval from time to time.

Before long, he had finished answering everyone's questions, and then let them leave to contemplate properly before setting out to open their Dao fields.

After the Saints took their leave, Hongjun's attention immediately returned to Witch City.

To be precise, even while he was communicating with the Saints just now, he had been watching the Primordial Land, watching whether Lu Yun had returned.

It was a pity that ever since Lu Yun disappeared just now, he had not returned even until now.

This made Hongjun frown, his heart truly feeling somewhat uneasy.

It was just that every time Lu Yun disappeared in the past, his reappearance brought him no small amount of shock, making him have to be on guard! However, Hongjun could not just wait for Lu Yun.

After pondering for a while, he suddenly moved, and his Good Corpse Zixiao Daoren, Evil Corpse Xuan Yu Daoren, and Self Corpse Qushan Daoren appeared together.

"Greetings to the Original!"

The Three Corpses bowed respectfully to Hongjun. Hongjun pondered for a moment and slowly said, "Zixiao, Xuan Yu, you two go into the Chaos and search for Kunpeng and Minghe, who were previously suppressed by Zixiao, and tell them that the Heavenly Dao has changed and Humanity is rising; if they are willing to submit, this seat can let bygones be bygones."

"Yes!"

Zixiao Daoren and Xuan Yu Daoren received the order and left, turning into two streams of light that disappeared from Zixiao Palace.

Next, Hongjun turned to his Self Corpse Qushan Daoren and instructed, "Qushan, you go deep into the Chaos and search for the whereabouts of Yangmei Daxian."

Yangmei Daxian was an ancient creature in the Chaos with quite impressive strength; Hongjun felt that if he could win him over to the Heavenly Dao Faction, it would surely be a great help.

Most importantly, he himself is in a state of resonance with the Heavenly Dao, and he must personally hold down the Great Desolation, so there is simply no way for him to go and search for the location of the world opened up by Lu Yun.

Looking at Yang Mei, it is different!

If Yang Mei could help him find the world opened up by Lu Yun, and he were to scheme a bit later to directly shatter that world, Lu Yun's strength would inevitably be sharply reduced, and dealing with him would be much easier then! If he could take the opportunity to scheme against Yang Mei as well and eliminate him, that would be even better!

"Yes!"

Qushan Daoren likewise accepted the order, his figure moved, and he also disappeared into the Chaos.

Not long after, Zixiao Daoren was the first to find Kunpeng in the Chaos.

Kunpeng was currently entrenched within a space of Chaos, eyes closed in cultivation, attempting to resolve the injuries suppressed within his body by Zixiao Daoren.

Zixiao Daoren appeared coldly before Kunpeng and shouted, "Kunpeng, do you wish to die or to live?"

Kunpeng opened his eyes abruptly, and seeing Zixiao Daoren, a trace of fear flashed through his eyes.

He hurriedly bowed in salute and said cautiously, "Senior Zixiao, Kunpeng naturally wishes to live."

Zixiao Daoren gave a cold snort and said, "The Heavenly Dao has changed, and Humanity is rising. If you are willing to submit to the Heavenly Dao and lend a helping hand to my Heavenly Dao Faction, this seat can ensure you remain safe and sound."

Kunpeng's heart stirred; he knew that the struggle between Hongjun and Lu Yun had reached a critical moment, and if he made the wrong choice, he would very likely be beyond redemption.

He pondered for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Senior Zixiao, Kunpeng is willing to submit to the Heavenly Dao Faction and follow your orders, Senior."

Zixiao Daoren nodded with satisfaction and said, "Good, you shall follow me to Zixiao Palace to meet the Dao Ancestor."

Having said this, Zixiao Daoren lifted the suppression on Kunpeng and flew with Kunpeng in the direction of Zixiao Palace.

On the other side, Xuan Yu Daoren also found Minghe in the Chaos.

Under Hongjun's suppression, Minghe's strength had been greatly damaged, and he was currently struggling bitterly.

Xuan Yu Daoren likewise used Hongjun's name to propose the conditions of surrender to Minghe.

Minghe was actually more conflicted than Kunpeng.

After all, Lu Yun had once promised to give him a Saint position of Humanity!

Xuan Yu Daoren seemed to see through his thoughts and could not help but sneer, "You didn't put in any effort this time and were suppressed; do you really think Lu Yun will still fulfill the promise he made to you?"

These words left Minghe Laozu speechless for a moment.

Xuan Yu added another sentence, saying, "Furthermore, if you do not join the Heavenly Dao Faction, this poor Daoist can kill you right now. Do you think you still have a chance to see Lu Yun?"

At this, Minghe had no choice.

After weighing the pros and cons, he ultimately chose to submit to the Heavenly Dao Faction.

As for Qushan Daoren, he continued to go deeper into the Chaos, searching for the whereabouts of Yangmei Daxian.

However, Yangmei Daxian's movements were erratic, and coupled with the fact that he had been avoiding Hongjun all along, Qushan Daoren found it difficult to track him down for the time being.

But he did not give up and was still searching everywhere in the Chaos.

Lu Yun returned to his own Cosmos and first quickly inspected the development of the Cosmos.

Looking at this Cosmos he had opened up with his own hands, which was developing steadily according to his vision, with everything appearing orderly and full of vitality, he could not help but feel a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction welling up in his heart.

After confirming that everything in the Cosmos was normal, Lu Yun finally had the leisure to deal with the rewards he had previously obtained.

He opened his System Backpack, his gaze falling upon that Supreme Treasure Chest and a Legendary Treasure Chest, his heart filled with anticipation.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Yun decided to open the Legendary Treasure Chest first.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Hunyuan Human Emperor Scripture x1!"

As the treasure chest opened, a dazzling light burst forth from it, and an ancient scripture appeared in his hands. On the cover of the scripture, the five large characters "Hunyuan Human Emperor Scripture" were written prominently.

Lu Yun opened the scripture curiously and began to read it carefully.

The Hunyuan Human Emperor Scripture is an extremely profound cultivation technique; it is a cultivation method aimed at the Human Emperor, and it further contains a deep understanding and application of Humanity Power.

Lu Yun immersed himself in it, carefully contemplating every word and sentence in the scripture. As time passed, his understanding of Humanity Power grew deeper, as if he had opened a brand-new door, allowing him to see more possibilities for Humanity Power.

After contemplating the Hunyuan Human Emperor Scripture, Lu Yun only felt that his application of Humanity Power had become more proficient.

However, he had already cultivated Star Transformation, and the greatest use of this technique for him lay in its immense help to other Saints of Humanity who were about to be born.

Lu Yun thought of Fuxi.

For Fuxi, the Hunyuan Human Emperor Scripture was undoubtedly an extremely precious technique.

Thus, he quickly made a decision: he would pass this technique on to Fuxi later to lend him a helping hand.

After dealing with the Legendary Treasure Chest, Lu Yun could not wait to open the Supreme Treasure Chest.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Chaos Bead x1!"

This time, what he obtained was a bead radiating the aura of Chaos—the Chaos Bead.

"It's actually this treasure!"

Lu Yun held the Chaos Bead, his heart filled with excitement.

This is a Heavenly Dao-level supreme treasure, the Chaos Bead, which ranks alongside the Opening Heaven Axe, the Chaos Green Lotus, and the Creation Jade Disk as one of the four great Chaos Supreme Treasures! This object was born in the Chaos, contains 49 layers of restrictions within it, holds a Chaos world of its own, and possesses infinite possibilities! (End of chapter)
