Chapter 68 Nuwa's Scheme

For example, the oppression and slaughter of the myriad races, and the future "Witch-Slaying Sword" incident.

Emperor Jun and Tai Yi, the two Demon Emperors, in order to shatter the true bodies of the Ancestral Witches, refined a sword called the Witch-Slaying Sword using the flesh, blood, and primordial spirits of countless humans.

During this period, the human race was decimated, with only a few embers of humanity remaining.

The flesh, blood, and primordial spirits of all humans coalesced into this colossal sword.

It was wielded against the top spiritual treasures of the Witch race.

To Nuwa, this was not a significant matter.

After all, during the Witch-Slaying Sword calamity, although ninety-nine percent of the human population perished, Emperor Jun and Tai Yi had ultimately considered her reputation. Out of respect for her, they had spared a very small portion of humanity.

This small remnant of humanity, after the great battle between the Witches and Demons, rapidly multiplied, soon reaching their former population numbers, and became the protagonists of heaven and earth, spreading throughout the primordial world.

Was this outcome not excellent?

Through this conclusion, she also reaped immeasurable fortune, and in the future, countless humans would continue to offer her fortune and worship her.

Moreover, the human race's reproductive capacity was strong. Even if ninety-nine percent of them were forged into the Witch-Slaying Sword, it would only take a few hundred million years for them to fully recover, and even surpass their former population.

In the end, it was merely a temporary tribulation, so why attach so much importance to it?

If she were to insist on changing this calamity, what if it disrupted the human race's future destiny as the protagonists of heaven and earth?

Nuwa, having foreseen the future, especially a future beneficial to her, instinctively did not wish to alter it.

Because no one could guarantee her that if she changed the Witch-Slaying Sword incident, the human race would still be able to become the protagonists of heaven and earth after the mutual destruction of the Witches and Demons.

If the human race could not become the protagonists of heaven and earth in the future, would not the fortune she reaped, and the fortune occupied by the human race, be greatly diminished in value?

This was not the act of a wise person, and Nuwa, who considered herself wise, would not entertain it.

Since she could already stably harvest fortune, why risk a gamble? Nuwa had always sought stability.

However, even she had not anticipated that Taiqing Daoist, one of the Sanqing, shortly after her creation of humanity, would also focus on the human race, propagate the Golden Elixir Dao, establish the Human Teaching, and achieve the status of a Sage.

Sage Taiqing, moreover, discovered the Human race's supreme treasure, the Kongtong Seal, from Mount Shouyang. With this seal, he could suppress the fortune of the human race.

This immediately caused half of the fortune she occupied to be snatched away by Sage Taiqing.

This Sage Taiqing, just like her, had erected statues among the human race to plunder their faith and fortune!

This caused Nuwa considerable distress!

It was one thing to have another competitor for fortune, but this Sage Taiqing, wielding the Human race's supreme treasure, the Kongtong Seal, was actually superior to her in plundering the human race's fortune, which made Nuwa very uncomfortable.

Now, after two thousand years, Nuwa often felt her fortune among the human race continuously declining, which she surmised was the doing of Sage Taiqing.

"Sage Taiqing, it is said that his cultivation is the foremost among all Sages. His schemes are indeed extraordinary."

"However, he has the Kongtong Seal, and I also have a trump card. If I were to truly unleash it, I would be able to surpass Taiqing in occupying the human race's fortune!"

A cold glint flashed in Nuwa's eyes.

Sage Taiqing's method of limiting the human race's potential with the Golden Elixir Dao and plundering their faith and fortune was indeed brilliant.

But Nuwa was not without her own contingency plans.

The world, and even Sage Taiqing, believed that when Nuwa created the human race, she had only used the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil and the Three Light Divine Water, along with a gourd vine.

She created the human race using the Law of Creation.

No essence blood was incorporated.

The human race was a race created by Nuwa, but the great powers and supreme beings of the primordial world did not consider the human race to be Nuwa's bloodline.

This was because bloodlines could only originate from essence blood. The human race, created solely with the Law of Creation and breathing soil, could not be called "descendants of Nuwa" by any definition.

But only Nuwa herself knew.

When she had foreseen that the human race would become the protagonists of heaven and earth in the future.

Knowing the importance of the human race in the future, she had reserved a contingency for herself.

A backup plan in case, in the future, the human race's faith and fortune were completely plundered by other Sages, and she, the creator of the human race, could not enjoy much of it.

That is, she had secretly incorporated her essence blood into a very small portion of the breathing soil, and then used it to create the human race!

This blood, Nuwa had imbued with her Sage-level abilities. Even Quasi-Saints could not forcibly break it with immortal methods to uncover the truth.

Even Sages could not see through this fact!

Once this contingency was activated, Nuwa could use the origin of her bloodline as a means to influence the entire human race. At that time, no matter how much fortune other Sages occupied from the human race, they would have to obediently return it to Nuwa.

Nuwa had a limit, and she would not easily use this trump card, because this trump card had flaws.

It only focused on secrecy from immortal powerhouses, but its removal was very simple.

If it were exposed, other Sages might also devise some schemes or methods to thwart her plans.

But if Sage Taiqing pressed her too hard, then this contingency could be used!

"When should this contingency be used?"

Nuwa pondered for a moment, feeling that the time was not yet ripe. In the future "Witch-Slaying Sword" incident, ninety-nine percent of the human race would still die. Even if she controlled the current human race through their bloodline, these humans were destined to die, and their value was not great.

She would not use this contingency for such a low-value group of humans.

The most valuable time to use this contingency would be after the Witches and Demons had suffered mutual destruction, and the human race had risen to become the protagonists of heaven and earth.

By then, if Sage Taiqing continued to press her, Nuwa would activate this contingency, and the benefits would be maximized.

"I once foresaw that after the Witches and Demons suffered mutual destruction, three Human Emperors and five Emperors would be born among the human race."

"Among those three Human Emperors, one Human Emperor's position is called the Heavenly Emperor, which is extremely suitable for my elder brother."

"My elder brother is currently at the late stage of Quasi-Sage in the Demon Court. His cultivation is too weak. It would be best for him to reincarnate and cultivate again. In his next life, he can ascend to the Heavenly Emperor's position. At that time, he will not be at the Quasi-Sage realm, but will be called a Sub-Sage."

Above Quasi-Sage is Sage.

But there is also a saying: "Below Sages, all are ants."

Therefore, the gap between Quasi-Sage and Sage is greater than any previous realm.

Under such circumstances, there is a transitional position between Quasi-Sage and Sage, called Sub-Sage.

A Sub-Sage is someone who has the potential to achieve the Sage's position but lacks the Primordial Violet Qi to integrate with the Heavenly Dao, thus can only achieve the Sub-Sage position, ranking below a Sage.

Although not as powerful as a Sage, it is still a realm beyond Quasi-Sage.

Nuwa naturally hoped that Fuxi would achieve this Human Emperor position.

With this merit, he could ascend to the Sub-Sage realm.

As for his position in the Demon Court, Nuwa considered it unnecessary, merely a transition.

After all, the Demon Court would eventually perish along with the Witch race according to the will of heaven.

Emperor Jun and Tai Yi would not be able to hold the position of Demon Emperor for much longer.
