Chapter 118: Nüwa: Yin and Yang United

This is an ancient and solemn temple.

A statue with a human body and snake tail is enshrined in the temple, emanating boundless compassion and sanctity, making one unable to help feeling reverence.

At this moment, a woman dressed in Miao attire stands in the temple, her demeanor mysterious yet solemn, as she prays before the statue.

Just then, the heavens and earth blurred, and a figure in imperial robes appeared in the temple—it was Fengyi.

After appearing here, he subconsciously turned his gaze to the human‑bodied snake‑tailed statue before him, countless streams of information flowing in his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a sigh arise in his heart.

Nüwa, one of the Three Sovereigns of this realm, created humanity and is the progenitor of humankind in this world.

Logically, as the three sovereigns transformed from Pangu's essence, qi, and spirit, Fuxi, Shennong, and Nüwa should hold equal status.

But Fuxi found the path to embody Pangu, secretly schemed against the other two, causing Shennong to fall directly and have his primordial creation authority completely seized.

Although Nüwa did not meet the same fate as Shennong, her end was not much better.

Under Fuxi's coercion, to protect humanity she actively opposed the heavenly realm, mended heaven and earth, halted the flood, subdued the five spirits, forged the Five Spirit Pearls, and finally died from exhaustion.

Of course, as one of the Three Sovereigns possessing Pangu's creation authority, Nüwa is not truly fallen.

And Fuxi has been in seclusion digesting Shennong's authority and power, and has not truly taken her authority.

However, even so, under Fuxi's conscious promotion, Nüwa's power has been continually weakening.

If Fengyi had not crossed over, before long the Nüwa of this realm would likely follow Shennong's path, be stripped by Fuxi of the primordial creation authority, and let him truly become the embodiment of Pangu.

Thoughts turning in his mind, Fengyi looked at the statue before him and spoke in a calm tone: "Nüwa, long time no see."

Hmm?

Fengyi's words instantly awakened the Miao‑clad woman who had been praying in the temple; she snapped her eyes open and only then noticed that, unbeknownst when, a venerable figure in imperial robes had appeared in the temple of the Great Goddess Nüwa.

Who is this?

When did they appear?

Why did I not notice at all?

Countless thoughts surged in her heart; the Miao woman was about to speak when a clear, gentle voice suddenly rang out, freezing her in place: "Fuxi!"

Fuxi?

Is this stranger the Heavenly Emperor Fuxi?

Has he actually come to the temple of the Great Goddess Nüwa?

In the next instant, the Miao woman reacted, turning her gaze to the statue of the Great Goddess Nüwa standing in the temple, for that clear, gentle voice came from within the statue.

In the next instant, under the Miao woman's astonished gaze, light flickered on the statue and it came to life directly, transforming into a sacred figure with a human body and snake tail.

Meanwhile, Fuxi watched the statue before him turn into a figure; his expression did not change much.

For beings like them, the primordial three sovereigns, unless their primordial creation authority is taken away, even death is merely a change of existence, not a true fall.

However, sensing the opponent's aura weakened to the extreme, Fengyi also understood that this realm's Nüwa has been weakened to the utmost.

After the woman with a human body and snake tail appeared, she looked at the figure in imperial robes before her and couldn't help but sigh: "You finally came!"

As the three sovereigns transformed from Pangu's essence, qi, and spirit, they share a deep connection.

Thus Nüwa could clearly sense that the Fuxi before her had completely digested Shennong's authority and power, and moreover undergone some tremendous transformation, far surpassing his previous level.

From the moment he appeared here, she had guessed his purpose, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

"Nüwa, you have misunderstood."

At this moment, a calm voice sounded: "I merely came to let you understand the truth of the world, so you may truly awaken to yourself."

"Awaken to yourself?"

Hearing these words, a hint of doubt appeared on Nüwa's face.

At this time she vaguely felt that the Fuxi opposite her was somewhat different from before; that indifferent, unfeeling demeanor had faded, replaced by a touch of humanity, and she instinctively felt a sense of closeness.

"Closeness?"

This strange thought arose in her mind, her thoughts became hazy, an inexplicable feeling welled up from her heart, and her whole being seemed to instinctively undergo a change in aura.

Meanwhile, looking at the familiar figure before him, Fengyi suddenly felt an inexplicable sensation, and an illusory river appeared in his pupils.

In the next instant he faintly felt that a deep‑karmic bond had arisen between him and the figure before him.

"Karmic bond."

An inexplicable feeling rose in his heart; Fengyi subconsciously formed a hand seal, a lofty concept of his own nature's spiritual light rose and merged directly into the figure before him.

Om

Instantly, a mysterious wave rose from Nüwa's body, carrying the sacred meaning of creating all things, perfectly merging with her original aura, as if at this moment she became truly complete.

Countless divine lights flowed in Nüwa's eyes, her aura constantly shifting and adjusting; faintly behind her a lofty, illusory figure appeared.

Fengyi gazed deeply at this scene, and many insights arose in his heart.

His fate is deeply linked with that of his younger sister; through this bond he can awaken her self, enabling her to reach a state similar to the unique among myriad heavens.

"Fuxi Nüwa. The Great Dao's yin and yang."

Countless insights rose in his heart, giving him a special understanding and insight into yin and yang and fate.

Time flowed slowly; after an unknown period, a mysterious light of creation rose from Nüwa's body, instantly sweeping the whole world, causing the entire world to exude joy.

In the next instant the creative light faded, and Nüwa's figure reappeared.

At this time she still had the form of a woman with a human body and snake tail, seemingly unchanged from before, but her whole being now carried a lofty, sacred aura, as if she had become the center of the world, completely different from her previous weakness.

Glancing at Fengyi, Nüwa's eyes held no trace of confusion; her tone carried a hint of emotion as she said: "Elder brother, truly a great dream!"

Saying this, she turned her gaze to the distance; divine light flowed in her eyes, instantly taking in the sight of all six realms.

"Elder brother, is this the myriad heavens beyond our universe that you spoke of?"

Saying this, Nüwa looked at Fengyi and said: "This feeling is indeed quite wonderful."

"Hmm."

Fengyi nodded slightly, then whispered: "This too can be counted as a kind of cultivation."

Cultivation. Pangu

A low whisper sounded, Nüwa turned her gaze onto Feng Yi's body, a flash of realization appearing in her eyes as she smiled and said: "Indeed, this world truly suits your future path, elder brother."

The moment their words fell, the two figures vanished instantly from the spot.

After a long while, the woman in Miao attire inside the temple finally came to her senses, blankly staring at the vanished deity statue on the main altar, for a moment as if she had lost the ability to think.

In the place of the Heavenly Dao's origin, within the origin sea where myriad dao rules converge, two figures stood—namely Feng Yi and Nüwa.

In Nüwa's eyes, the light of creation flowed, reflecting the changes of the origin sea, she said softly: "Indeed, as you said, elder brother, although this world is not as great as our universe, it nonetheless contains great creation; whether it be heavenly dao authority similar to the Heart-Mind Seal, or the Dao of Pangu, it is greatly beneficial to your growth, elder brother."

Saying this, her eyes twitched slightly, and she spoke: "However, the Dao of Pangu— I never expected it could produce such a great change; perhaps this path could also aid my metamorphosis on the mortal immortal path."

Hum

The moment her words fell, Nüwa's aura shifted slightly; the life force that embraces all things rose, stirring the changes of the entire origin sea's rules.

Almost at the same time, Feng Yi directly transformed into his innate form of a human body with a dragon tail, forming a strong resonance with Nüwa in origin, likewise stirring the changes of the origin sea.

Boom

A rumbling sound rose, the entire origin sea seemed to come alive, directly splitting in two.

The figures of a human body with dragon tail and a human body with snake tail stood at opposite poles, intertwining, driving the changes of the entire origin sea, directly forming a massive yin-yang taiji diagram.

In an instant, the entire world underwent tremendous change, as if evolving toward a new direction.

At this moment, Feng Yi directly fell into a certain special state; his consciousness seemed to encompass a vast and gentle consciousness, while his own consciousness was also encompassed by it, giving a feeling of milk and water blending, directly forming a perfect balance state of yin containing yang and yang containing yin,

In this state, countless insights into Nüwa's Dao flowed into his mind and spirit, becoming part of his own comprehension.

Meanwhile, his many comprehensions of the Great Dao from various world systems likewise merged into Nüwa's mind and spirit, becoming resources for her metamorphosis on the mortal immortal path.

This is another method Feng Yi chose to fully obtain Pangu's authority: joining with Nüwa in yin-yang union, forming a certain degree of a whole.

As the embodiment of the Great Dao's yin and yang, this is the most suitable method for him and Nüwa.

As Nüwa's insights merged into Feng Yi's mind and spirit, the insights about the exalted Nüwa's Dao within the Heavenly Stele Mystic Law also emerged; together with these insights, he gained a certain essential understanding of the Dao of the exalted Nüwa in the Heavenly Stele Mystic Law.

At the same time, Feng Yi seemed to have gathered all of Pangu's essence, energy, and spirit, completely obtaining the creation authority of this world's Pangu, directly incarnating as this world's Pangu, and truly comprehended the true meaning of the Pangu Dao within the Heavenly Stele Mystic Law.

Countless information surfaced in his mind and spirit; in a daze, Feng Yi felt himself become a thirty-six-petal green lotus standing in Chaos, merging with the Great Dao, absorbing endless chaotic qi to nurture himself.

After an unknown amount of time, with a tremendous boom, the green lotus blossomed, and a stalwart figure wielding a massive axe appeared, emanating the primordial initial intent.

Facing the Chaos before him, the stalwart figure instinctively swung the giant axe.

A light brilliant to the extreme shone forth, the first light of opening heaven and earth, the light of opening, the light of creation.

The entire Chaos split in two, as if separating heaven and earth, and also as if separating the yin and yang of the Great Dao.

Two figures appeared in the divided Chaos, one a human body with dragon tail, the other a human body with snake tail, resembling the yin and yang of the Great Dao, continually intertwining to form a massive taiji diagram, evolving into a complete world.

At this moment, Feng Yi's mind and spirit became unprecedentedly lucid, thoroughly perfecting his deduction of the path to the Wheel Sea Secret Realm of the Four Immortal Saints.

Meanwhile, as his Pangu authority became complete, all information of this world's Pangu emerged in Feng Yi's mind and spirit, becoming part of his own comprehension.

The information of Pangu transforming into the Three Sovereigns and Five Spirits also merged with Feng Yi's deduction of his own path as the Five Immortal Saints' King's Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors Dao, allowing his deduction of the path to his Dao Palace Secret Realm to be swiftly perfected.

In the place of the Heavenly Dao's origin, the boundless sea of laws converges, with only a massive yin-yang taiji diagram continually transforming, as if it would not change for hundreds of thousands of years.
