Chapter 38: Nüwa Creates Humans and Becomes a Saint
Nüwa obtained the nine heavenly breaths of soil and immediately found a place with clear mountains and water to prepare for creating humans on the spot. She took out the nine heavenly breaths of soil she had exchanged with the mysterious yellow tower, and let out a slight sigh. The nine heavenly breaths of soil were stored in a jade stone box, and as soon as it was opened, a suffocating aura of chaos rushed forth, revealing inside the box half a container of fine sand that shone with a five-colored glow. When she pinched some with her hand, a dazzling array of light flashed, yet it felt like pinching flesh and blood.
Nüwa no longer went to find that ordinary water, but instead cut open her arm and let the blood flow into the jade box. A burst of light suddenly shot out of the jade box, and Nüwa was also shocked by it. Indeed, the essence of the nine heavens and eight lands had such a reaction with her own refined blood. As the light dissipated, Nüwa looked in and suddenly stared blankly.
Originally, the Nine Heavens' Soil and Nuwa's essence blood had come into contact. The reaction was intense, but after a commotion, they still separated: earth returned to earth, blood returned to blood. This is troublesome; how can humans be created now?
"Nüwa, you're in a hurry, but Houtu has come to help you this time." Nüwa was puzzled when she saw Houtu approaching from afar. She listened to what Houtu said and felt somewhat curious - could one of her ancestors really help her create humans?
"Please tell me, Goddess, is there any way?" The Goddess Nuwa had no solution and asked for help again.
"Nüwa, you don't have to be like that. You've already promised not to make things difficult for me and the Wu tribe after today. There's no need for us to be at odds with each other." Hou Tu also didn't approve of the bitter struggle between the Wu and Yao tribes, but her opinion was drowned out by the hatred of the other eleven ancestral witches. The fall of Zhu Rong was a tragic event for the Wu tribe. "Can't you just create humans from clay?"
"That's right." Nuwa didn't conceal it either.
"I have something here that can help a bit." Hou Tu took out an object and immediately caught Nüwa's attention.
"Ah, unexpectedly, unexpectedly there is such a thing! The Qian Kun Ding, the legendary one that can refine and transform all things, the Qian Kun Ding that returns to its original state. Nuwa was puzzled, how could this pre-heavenly treasure, combined with the Nine Heavens' essence from before, be on a single ancestor's body?! Could there be some mysterious mechanism? She silently calculated in her heart, but it was a vast and profound heavenly principle, and she couldn't get anything out of it, so she didn't bother to think about it anymore. "Please, Your Ladyship, help me refine this essence and my own vital blood, so I can shape the earth and create humans."
"After 'Great Goodness', Hou Tu obtained her Yuan Shen and the nature of the Wu tribe became very good, even their daily conversations started to lean towards the Tao."
Nüwa handed a box containing the nine heavenly soils mixed with her own essence to Houtu. Houtu immediately followed Zhou Cheng's method, lit up the Qiankun Ding tripod, and refined it for a while. This thing only needs to be refined to create humans, so a slight operation is enough. After a moment, the Qiankun Ding stopped refining, and the box burst out with a five-colored light, gently falling in front of Nüwa's face, but inside the box was a soft and moist nine heavenly soil that had already become somewhat spiritual, which was enough to create humans.
Nüwa snapped her fingers, pinched up a small handful of earth, and after kneading it carefully, threw it to the ground. Instantly, several human figures appeared on the ground. After looking around, they all bowed down to Nüwa and Hou Tu: "We have seen the two Holy Mothers."
Nüwa was taken aback, calling herself the Holy Mother was indeed appropriate, but how did Hou Tu also get called. However, thinking about it immediately, the nine heavens and earth ultimately came from Hou Tu's place, although they were concluded with the Xuan Huang Pagoda, but she also had the merit of refining the Qian Kun Ding, which was also worthy of the Holy Mother's grace.
"No need for courtesy, I just lent a hand, Nüwa is your true Holy Mother." Hou Tu didn't want to take credit either.
Nothing much, Queen of the Earth will become a Holy Mother. She immediately pointed to the crowd and gave clothes to several people, but they were not enough to cover their bodies and eventually became useless.
"The princess's words are indeed correct. I have seen two Holy Mothers." The several people bowed down again.
As soon as the names of the two were determined, a sudden tremor shook the heavens and the earth. Nüwa and Houtu both looked up at the horizon, sensing that something had happened. In an instant, a magnificent golden light shot forth from beyond the Ninth Heaven, approaching them. It split into two parts: the larger part entered Nüwa's body, while the smaller part returned to Houtu. Houtu's entire body shone with a brilliant light, but then it stopped, and nothing out of the ordinary happened. However, on Nüwa's side, something extraordinary occurred.
Nüwa had already obtained the sacred position bestowed by Hongjun in the Purple Mansion, and this time she successfully created humans, gaining great merit. With these two merits combined, the timing for her to become a saint had arrived. Suddenly, golden light shot towards Nüwa's back, and a purple mysterious energy also burst out of her body. The two colors intertwined for a long time before disappearing, gradually revealing Nüwa's new form, which was no longer the same as before. Looking at her from afar, one felt that it was just as Hongjun had said - profound and even more profound, embodying the Tao.
The world suddenly changed, as if it were the time when Hong Jun obtained the Tao. The sky celebrated with a heavy downpour of starlight, nourishing all things. All living creatures in the world with the Tao knelt and bowed, calling out "sage". The horizon was also colorful, with auspicious clouds rolling, phoenixes and unicorns appearing, and finally, a five-colored golden phoenix flew towards Nüwa, its wings folded on the ground, its head lowered, softly chirping, like congratulatory cheers.
"You shall be my mount, and I shall name you Jin Ning." Nuwa had already become a goddess at this point, and seeing such a spiritual creature, she thought it would be fitting to take it in as her mount. With a casual wave of her hand, a golden phoenix appeared, and instantly transformed into a yellow-robed woman, who was precisely the epitome of youthful beauty.
"Congratulations, Nüwa Niangniang, you have finally achieved the position of a great sage. From now on, you will truly be free from worries and troubles, enjoying peace and happiness." Hou Tu said with some sadness as he stepped forward to pay his respects. Although he had mentally prepared himself for Nüwa's ascension to sainthood, when he saw her standing before him, stripped of all impurities and having achieved the state of primordial chaos, he felt a sense of oppression wash over him. The aura of a saint was indeed not something that someone like him could resist. He had obtained the yuan Shen, and this time, he had also gained some merit, but he had never obtained the sacred position of the Zi Xuan Palace. In the end, it seemed that he would be unable to achieve sainthood. If he himself was in such a state, then the other ancestral witches were even more so. Was it really the case that the path of primordial chaos held no hope for the witch tribe?
"You helped me refine the earth this time, but I already knew the inside story. You don't need to feel sad, I've become a saint and calculated that you will have a good opportunity in the future, someone will help you with the tripod." When Nüwa became a saint, she calculated the heavenly machine, but found herself still unclear about the mysterious nine heavens and the obscure matter of the earth. This time, Hou Tu came with the tripod, but was helped by her fourth senior brother, which made her wonder why he didn't come to help her in person, it's really strange, wanting to think deeply, but the heavenly machine is not clear, nor does she know what he thinks.
"Thank you for the auspicious words of Saint Niangniang." Hou Tu also found it inconvenient to call Nuwa "sister" again, after all, she was already a saint.
Nüwa saw that the number of people she had created was still too small, so she waved her hand and a willow branch flew into her hand from afar. The branch touched the nine heavenly soils in the jade box, and with a flick of her wrist, thousands of mud and water splashed onto the ground, and suddenly a group of naked men appeared on the ground. Nüwa looked at them and thought for a moment, realizing that she had only created people in the image of her four brothers, but without yin to match their yang, the harmony of opposites was not achieved. So she dipped her hand into the mud again and cast another spell, and suddenly a group of women appeared on the ground, resembling herself. Nüwa was finally satisfied, so she stopped creating people, used magic to give them clothes, put away the remaining heavenly soils, and ceased creating humans.
"Two Holy Mothers, Jin An, this time we have obtained life, but we still need the two Holy Mothers to point out the way for us in the future." The first person created bowed down and asked.
Nüwa and Houtu exchanged a glance, suddenly feeling somewhat helpless. Nüwa had become a goddess, but this matter was also unclear how to handle properly. Although the great war between the Primordial Chaos and the Witch Tribe was temporarily absent, small-scale struggles still occurred from time to time. How could such weak humans escape slaughter? Houtu also had no solution, after all, she couldn't take all these people back to the Witch Tribe.
At this time, the tripod of Qiankun shook violently, but it was actually dropped from Hou Tu's hand. It pointed at Nüwa three times in mid-air, tearing through the void and flying towards the East.
Nüwa saw it and let out a soft sigh, but she had already made up her mind.
"I'll send you to settle near the Qing Hill Mountain, and later there will be someone to protect you." With a wave of her hand, several thousand people disappeared in an instant, having been sent by Nüwa's divine power to the foot of the Qing Hill Mountain. Then, with a slight nod towards Hou Tu, she mounted the golden phoenix transformed from Jin Ning and returned to the Palace of Nüwa.
Houtu saw that the Ding tripod had flown away and knew that Zhou Cheng had taken it back. The human tribe also made arrangements, and since this matter was settled, she returned to the Houtu Palace.
Chapter 2
Regarding Yuanshi and others accepting disciples, it is necessary for the subsequent plot development. It is impossible that all humans were created by Nüwa, so Laozi, destined to be the founder of Taoism, only accepted one disciple. As for whether the disciples of Yuanshi and others are demons or witches or other beings, there is an explanation in Chapter 15, Section 2.
