Only that they were humans without the "Innate Dao Body" or "Acquired Dao Body."
Moreover, in terms of cultivation aptitude, such humans likely had "zero" aptitude. Unless their physique and spiritual roots were modified later, they might not even be able to step into the first realm of cultivation, let alone reach the entry level.
"The theory of evolution does have its merits."
"I actually hoped that the Human Emperor would use the theory of evolution to deny my creation of humans. Then, I would have a great opportunity to exploit this matter..."
"Alas... alas... this Human Emperor is not foolish. He only stated the facts of what I did and did not dare to fabricate, using evolution to replace the theory of creation."
Nuwa had genuinely hoped that the Human Emperor, in order to completely sever her influence over humanity, would employ the theories of the technological world to deny the truth.
Completely eradicating Nuwa's influence on humanity.
That way, Nuwa would have many means to counter the Human Emperor's authority and regain her voice among humans.
Extremes give rise to their opposite.
Unfortunately, the Human Emperor did not go to such extremes. He continued to praise Nuwa's merit and significance in creating humanity.
Since the "extreme" was not reached, the "opposite" naturally did not occur.
Nuwa felt as disgusted as if she had swallowed a fly. She would have preferred the Human Emperor to erase her contributions, so she could play the victim among humans, garner sympathy, and have countless followers trail behind her.
Unfortunately, she could not play the victim now.
Because the fact that she had abandoned humanity, allowing them to be slaughtered by the demon race, was an undeniable truth. There was no need to provoke ridicule by denying it.
"Depleting my luck, eradicating my faith, subtly demeaning me, and even removing my bloodline..."
"I truly wish to kill him."
In Nuwa's heart, there was boundless rage and murderous intent towards Fang Ming.
The luck she held within humanity was what Nuwa valued most, and now it was almost gone due to the Human Emperor's various methods.
The Human Emperor had not overtly abolished her faith, but by publicly revealing Nuwa's various actions to all of humanity, he had completely shattered Nuwa's prestige among them.
Very few people now worshipped her, thus diminishing her luck.
It wasn't that no one worshipped her. Nuwa was, after all, the creator of humanity. Although the number of statues had decreased a thousandfold and the number of worshippers hundreds of thousands of times, given the vast population of humanity...
Still, one in a million humans worshipped her.
The total population of humanity had already reached tens of trillions, meaning about one hundred million people still worshipped Nuwa.
But how could Nuwa, who had tasted the sweetness of her former glory, be satisfied with such a meager number of worshippers? How could this small amount of luck satisfy Nuwa's appetite?
Nuwa wished she could kill Fang Ming and then, through various means, erase all traces of him among humanity.
To make humanity worship her again and to regain her esteemed position among them.
Unfortunately, having witnessed the previous battle and the outcome of the conflict between humans and demons, Nuwa no longer had this confidence, nor did she harbor this intention.
The Demon Master Kunpeng was dead, and the Human Emperor was already a quasi-saint level combatant.
Was it easy to kill a quasi-saint?
Perhaps other saints, like the Grand Pure One, would feel immensely confident upon seeing the luck of the Human Ancestral Land being uprooted and would directly confront Fang Ming.
Below saints, all are ants.
The so-called quasi-saint level meant being able to exchange a few blows with a saint.
Ultimately, they would inevitably be defeated.
Much like those who achieved enlightenment through unconventional means, they could challenge great emperors.
The term "challenge" itself implied that one's strength was inferior to that of a great emperor. If their strength were equal, it would be called "comparable," not "challenging."
The Grand Pure One would not hesitate to act.
If it were other saints, like the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning or the Master of the Heavenly Sect, they would also not hesitate to eliminate Fang Ming in such a situation.
If it were Zhun Ti or Jie Yin, they would also not hesitate to deal with Fang Ming, though they might brainwash him and take him back to the West rather than kill him.
But only Nuwa would not do these things.
She possessed caution.
In the original myths of the Great Desolation, Nuwa never intervened in any tribulations and always remained on the sidelines.
Even when she did act, it was against ordinary human emperors like King Zhou, not against other saints.
During the Investiture of the Gods era, there were six saints in the Heavenly Dao, and five of them directly engaged in battle. Only Nuwa did not participate, which indicated that compared to gaining benefits, Nuwa was more conservative and cautious than the other five saints.
Therefore, dealing with King Zhou was acceptable because an ordinary human emperor like King Zhou could never resist the means of a saint like Nuwa.
But dealing with Fang Ming, a human emperor who had reached the quasi-saint realm...
Nuwa had to consider the possibility of defeat.
After all, what if Fang Ming had trump cards against saints?
This possibility was very high. Would she just rush in without any precautions?
What would be the consequence if she lost?
Nuwa had to consider the repercussions.
Instead of directly stepping forward and declaring her intention to destroy Fang Ming.
"The Human Emperor's momentum is already established."
"If this were five thousand years ago, I would have annihilated this Fang Ming without a second word and then reclaimed my faith."
"Unfortunately, I discovered this too late. It's already too late."
Nuwa sighed inwardly, extremely dejected.
She had discovered it too late.
If she had acted during the early stages of humanity's development, she could have made her move.
If humanity had not had their bloodline purged, she would have been confident in her ability to forcefully control human quasi-emperors and those who achieved enlightenment through unconventional means, using her bloodline power.
The source of the bloodline was not to be trifled with.
Nuwa cultivated the Great Desolation method, being a saint of the Heavenly Dao with numerous divine abilities. Using the pressure of the bloodline source, it would be too advantageous to deal with humans.
If there were a human Great Emperor who also possessed Nuwa's bloodline, Nuwa would have had a certain confidence in refining him into an external avatar.
Saints of the Heavenly Dao not only possessed Great Emperor-level power but also numerous divine abilities. Once the conditions were met, scheming against humans invisibly was commonplace.
The fantasy-oriented system like the Heaven-Shading Emperor, which only focused on "power" and not "divine abilities," inevitably had flaws in certain aspects from the perspective of saints.
In a direct confrontation, the Great Emperor with stronger combat power would naturally have the advantage. The Grand Pure One, as the leader of all saints and the strongest among them, might be able to contend with an ordinary Heaven-Shading Great Emperor, but other saints would be inferior to Great Emperors, especially Nuwa, the weakest saint.
However, in covert schemes, launching a full-scale attack from aspects like karma, heavenly secrets, and bloodline... the Heaven-Shading Great Emperor would surely lose.
Nuwa secretly sighed. If not for the fact that this Human Emperor possessed a treasure that concealed heavenly secrets, making them imperceptible and rendering divination methods useless.
She could have easily killed this Fang Ming tens of thousands of years ago.
How could she have allowed him to achieve his current quasi-saint level strength?
Possessing only strength was like being a brute, what use was that?
With divination methods, one could foresee the future and deal with such a brute who only focused on martial power, making him die without understanding why, killing without shedding blood, and manipulating karma.
Unfortunately, this Human Emperor, while cultivating the Heaven-Shading method, a system that only focused on combat power, had also used treasures to compensate for his other shortcomings, leaving Nuwa helpless against him.
