Nuwa’s Entrustment, Bai Xiaochun and Wu Liuqi Join the Group

Nuwa Temple, Lan Zhao Kingdom.

Demon Venerable Chonglou arrived here with the Holy Maiden and Zi Xuan.

Looking at the somewhat shabby Nuwa Temple, Chonglou casually remarked, "Nuwa is the Mother of the Earth. Why does this place look so impoverished?"

Compared to the Demon Realm, this place was truly too shabby to be seen, and there was very little incense offering. Hardly anyone could be seen.

No matter what, Nuwa had been one of the Three Sovereigns, the Creation Gods, back then.

"…" The Holy Maiden and Zi Xuan fell silent, unable to refute him.

Because Chonglou was speaking the truth. Very few humans in the mortal world worshipped Lady Nuwa, because Lady Nuwa had not appeared for a very long time.

"Lady Nuwa maintains the balance between Heaven and Earth, but she has not appeared for a long time. Several previous Nuwa Descendants died young, because there are too many demons in the mortal world, and they are all extremely powerful. A Nuwa Descendant who has not yet grown up cannot shoulder the responsibility of protecting all living beings. Zi Xuan is the Nuwa Descendant with the best talent and strongest Spiritual Energy among these generations," the Holy Maiden explained.

Over the past several thousand years, Nuwa Descendants had not truly been passed down generation by generation. Accidents always happened, causing them to perish prematurely.

However, because Nuwa’s divine power remained, even if a Nuwa Descendant died, after several decades or centuries, a baby girl with Nuwa’s bloodline would be born to inherit the responsibility and burden of being a Nuwa Descendant.

After hearing this, Chonglou nodded and said, "Indeed. If I had not appeared in time today, your generation’s Nuwa Descendant would likely have died prematurely as well."

Although Chonglou was cold and obsessed with devotion and martial arts, he still knew a thing or two about ancient secrets.

Nuwa Descendants had to protect all living beings, so it could be said that theirs was an extremely dangerous profession. Moreover, they had no powerful protectors.

Human cultivators like the Holy Maiden could at most provide guidance. No matter how much they cultivated, they could not possibly withstand a great demon that had lived for a thousand years.

Zi Xuan was young, passionate, uninhibited, lively, and cheerful. Upon hearing this, her gaze turned resolute. "Big Brother, I will definitely become a true Nuwa Descendant. I’ll cultivate diligently, protect all living beings, and slay demons!"

"Oh." Chonglou responded blandly without encouraging Zi Xuan. In his eyes, she was just a little girl who did not know the immensity of Heaven and Earth. Perhaps this was only a passing burst of enthusiasm.

"Big Brother, why are you so cold?" Zi Xuan asked gloomily.

"Tch." Chonglou could not be bothered to explain.

"Ah!"

Zi Xuan stomped her foot in frustration, while the Holy Maiden could not help shaking her head.

Ding! A private mission has been triggered. Within three years, train the Nuwa Descendant into the strongest Nuwa Descendant. Upon completion, receive ten thousand points.

Suddenly, the Chat Group’s voice rang out.

Seeing this mission, Chonglou became interested and asked, "What does the strongest Nuwa Descendant mean? What is the standard?"

"Defeat Heavenly Emperor Fuxi," came the Chat Group’s voice.

"Oh, that won’t be a problem." Demon Venerable Chonglou’s expression did not change much.

Even if he had not joined the Chat Group, his original strength alone would have been enough for him to storm the Heaven Realm and defeat Heavenly Emperor Fuxi.

Although Fuxi was one of the Ancient Gods, Chonglou was a genius of the Demon Realm and the Supreme of the Six Realms. He had no rival in Heaven or on Earth.

But there was a problem. It was no problem for him to defeat Heavenly Emperor Fuxi.

For a rookie like Zi Xuan to surpass Heavenly Emperor Fuxi in three years would be rather difficult. That meant that three years later, Zi Xuan, the Nuwa Descendant, would even be stronger than the Nuwa of this world.

Although Chonglou was confident he could crush Heavenly Emperor Fuxi, he was not blindly confident. With his talent, he would still need at least five hundred to a thousand years of cultivation.

Defeating Heavenly Emperor Fuxi in three years was, to some extent, disrespectful to the Three Sovereigns.

"Fellow cultivator Lou Chong, your strength is powerful and your realm profound. If you are willing to teach Zi Xuan, she will certainly grow quickly," the Holy Maiden said.

"That’s right, Big Brother, teach me. I’m very smart, and I learn everything very quickly." Zi Xuan looked at him expectantly.

"I can, but my training is extremely strict, even cruel. Little girl, you may not be able to endure it," Demon Venerable Chonglou said.

"I can definitely endure it," Zi Xuan swore.

"Then we shall see. Heh heh." Chonglou said no more, stingy with his words.

Afterward, the Holy Maiden took Zi Xuan to pack some tools needed for cultivation.

Meanwhile, Chonglou stood quietly before Nuwa’s statue in the Nuwa Temple. He could sense that the statue was not an inanimate object; it contained some exceedingly mysterious power.

Suddenly, a mysterious force began drawing in his Primordial Spirit. Chonglou did not resist, allowing that attraction to bring him into a mysterious space.

It was a void-like space filled with chaotic auras and stars covering the sky, but in reality, it was extremely fragile, and the space itself was unstable.

At the end of the Void, a figure bathed in sacred radiance slowly appeared.

This was Nuwa, or perhaps Nuwa’s divine consciousness.

"Greetings, Lady Nuwa," Demon Venerable Chonglou said.

Perhaps because he had seen the might of Nuwas from other worlds, Chonglou’s strength had surpassed even the Three Sovereigns of his own world. Yet he still retained his respect for Lady Nuwa.

"Descendant of Shennong, Demon Venerable Chonglou. Why have you come to the mortal world and approached my descendant?"

Nuwa within the phantom asked in a gentle yet weak voice.

With a Nuwa Descendant exposed before she had fully matured, the situation was extremely dangerous.

The previous Nuwa Descendants had all died suddenly and prematurely. It was impossible that there was no hidden scheme behind it.

"Lady Nuwa, if I said I would protect the Nuwa Descendant until she grows successfully, would you believe me?" Demon Venerable Chonglou asked.

"I believe you." Nuwa’s phantom smiled faintly.

"Why?"

This time, Chonglou was surprised. He was the Demon Venerable, after all. The entire demon race had always been at odds with the mortal world and the Heaven Realm.

"Though you dwell in darkness, your heart is in the light. Chonglou, though you are cold as ice and do as you please, your heart burns hot. You possess love, and that love will grow ever stronger, eventually becoming a great love that saves all living beings," Nuwa said.

"I am a demon. I do not understand love, Lady Nuwa," Demon Venerable Chonglou replied, unmoved.

Although Nuwa’s words sounded beautiful, after being in the Chat Group for so long, he could tell that Nuwa was trying to manipulate and talk him into it.

He was training Zi Xuan, the Nuwa Descendant, not out of some great love, but merely for ten thousand points.

"My descendant will let you understand what great love is, Chonglou. The era of the Ancient Gods will eventually end. The new world needs gods like you," Nuwa said slowly, her gaze gentle.

"Let us put love aside for now. Lady Nuwa, why are there no traces of you in the mortal world?" the Demon Venerable asked curiously.

Although he had read the script, he did not know the specific details. In the script, Nuwa was more like background scenery and had never appeared.

At this, a complicated expression appeared in Nuwa’s eyes. "In the ancient era, the Three Sovereigns created the world, established yin, yang, and the five elements, created humanity, and opened the Six Realms.

"The Three Sovereigns were myself, Shennong, and Heavenly Emperor Fuxi. The three of us governed Heaven and Earth together, ensuring that all things operated in order, selflessly and impartially.

"Yet as time passed, even selfless gods gave rise to desire and ambition.

"After Shennong left the Heaven Realm, he mysteriously perished. Though I sensed something, I did not suspect Fuxi.

"Later, I went to the mortal world to slay a great demon that was bringing calamity upon all living beings. Fuxi closed the passage to the Heaven Realm, preventing me from returning.

"Though I am a Creation God, my Magical Power comes from the Spiritual Energy of the Heaven Realm. Spiritual Energy could not be replenished in the mortal world, so I weakened day by day, and my strength greatly declined.

"Afterward, in order to seek a chance at survival, I left behind my divine consciousness in the mortal world, along with the Origin that would nurture Nuwa Descendants. My true body then left this world and went to Heaven Beyond Heaven in search of fortune.

"For many years, there has been no news from my true body.

"Thanks to the mortal world’s incense offerings, part of my divine consciousness has endured until now.

"Unfortunately, because my descendants have died young, fewer and fewer humans believe in me. In contrast, the demons of Heaven and Earth have become increasingly rampant…"

After hearing this, Chonglou smiled disdainfully. Even Creation Gods would eventually be consumed by desire and ambition? The fate of the Three Sovereigns was perhaps the result of Heavenly Emperor Fuxi’s scheme alone.

They had created the world together, perhaps for the sake of the mortal world and all living beings, selflessly and impartially.

But as time passed, after enjoying the supreme authority of the Heavenly Emperor, ambition and desire would slowly breed. In the end, the youth who slew the dragon would ultimately become the dragon himself!

"Demon Venerable, I leave my descendant to you. I hope this world can truly be reborn in the future."

Leaving those words behind, Nuwa’s phantom vanished.

Demon Venerable Chonglou’s consciousness then left that mysterious space and returned to the Nuwa Temple.

Three years. Within these three years, I will definitely train Zi Xuan, the Nuwa Descendant, into the strongest Nuwa Descendant in all of Heaven and Earth.

Heavenly Emperor Fuxi, hmph. I’ll let you remain in that position for a few more years, Chonglou thought.

At this moment, the Holy Maiden emerged with Zi Xuan. Zi Xuan’s face was full of anticipation, completely unaware of the devilish training that awaited her.

The Holy Maiden’s emotions were complicated. Just moments ago, she had received guidance from Lady Nuwa, telling her that she could safely entrust Zi Xuan to Chonglou’s instruction.

"Fellow cultivator, Zi Xuan is in your care," the Holy Maiden said slowly.

"Mhm." Chonglou nodded indifferently without saying anything else.

"Holy Maiden, don’t worry. I’m the most talented Nuwa Descendant in history. Mere cultivation will be easy," Zi Xuan said excitedly.

"Zi Xuan, cultivate properly. Do not give up halfway," the Holy Maiden said.

She understood Zi Xuan best and feared that Zi Xuan would quit after encountering even the slightest setback.

For Lady Nuwa to personally give such guidance, Chonglou’s identity and strength were clearly far from ordinary.

"Let’s go."

Chonglou waved his hand. Before Zi Xuan could react, a violent gust swept her away, while Chonglou transformed into a streak of red light and vanished.

The Holy Maiden watched the scene before her in silence. Lady Nuwa, please bless Zi Xuan so that she may be reborn and become a true Nuwa Descendant capable of shouldering all living beings.

The mortal world needs the Nuwa Descendant. All living beings need her strength to protect them.

Over the years, because the previous Nuwa Descendants had perished too early, many demons had been born during the time when the power of the earth offered no protection. These demons wreaked havoc, leaving countless lives in misery. Resentment and Evil Qi continued to breed between Heaven and Earth, making it difficult for the world to regain clarity.

Chat Group.

Ye Hei: "Given how things are developing between Demon Venerable and the Nuwa Descendant, could it be that…"

Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "A domineering master and a passionate, cheerful, innocent, kind little disciple. There’s definitely something there when these two get together."

Qian Renxue: "Tsk tsk, everyone, just quietly wait for the scene where Demon Venerable’s ten-thousand-year block of ice finally melts!"

Snow Moon Sword Immortal: "This is destiny!"

Iron Man: "Watching the drama!"

Xu Yi: "Destiny truly is a wondrous cycle!"

Everyone had been paying attention to the events in the Immortal Sword World, so naturally, they saw that Chonglou was preparing to train Zi Xuan into the strongest Nuwa Descendant in history.

But following this kind of setup, it definitely could not be just cultivation training. Something else would surely happen! These days, a disciple who did not make a move on their master was not a qualified disciple!

Demon Venerable Chonglou: "Group Owner, what are you all talking about? I don’t quite understand."

Ye Hei: "Brother Chonglou, you still can’t see it?"

Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "That’s right, it’s very simple…"

Demon Venerable Chonglou: "What am I supposed to see?"

Xu Yi: "Zi Xuan’s fate has changed because of you, Chonglou. In her original fate, she had three lifetimes of romantic ties. But your existence surpasses this world’s fate, so Zi Xuan’s fate has naturally changed.

"However, with those three lifetimes of romance gone, perhaps a romance between master and disciple will take its place."

Demon Venerable Chonglou: "??? No, Group Owner, everyone? You don’t think that after living for thousands of years, I would fall for a little girl barely in her teens, do you? I’m not some useless fool from another world. How could I develop feelings for a human?"

Ye Hei: "That’s hard to say. Really!"

Sun Wukong: "If that really happens, Old Sun won’t be sleepy anymore."

Fairy Yunxiao: "Interesting!"

Great Wilderness Milk-Eating Baby: "Wow!"

Saintess Li Susu: "I’m really looking forward to it. This will definitely be a very beautiful story!"

Bi Cang Wang: "For some reason, I’m looking forward to it!"

Xu Yi: "The melon-eating is underway!"

Bad Commander: "A world without love is dark and lonely. It is precisely because of love that the world is so beautiful and colorful."

Sword God Li Chungang: "Gang, an old man who’s been single for three hundred years like you understands love too?"

Bad Commander: "Sigh, for some reason, I suddenly thought of that bowl of Old Duck Soup from more than two hundred years ago."

In Yuan Tiangang’s memories appeared a lively, adorable young girl. Sadly, time had passed, and before time, most people would turn to dust and vanish.

If he could do it all over again, Yuan Tiangang felt that he would choose a different path.

Zhang Sanfeng: "Sigh!"

Ye Hei: "Sanfeng Zhenren, what’s wrong? Don’t tell me you’re thinking about Heroine Guo Xiang again!"

Zhang Sanfeng: "Ahem, no, no."

Ye Hei: "Sanfeng Zhenren, this is the Chat Group. There’s no need to hide it. Speak freely. Besides, everyone knows your story."

Zhang Sanfeng: "Those were matters from my youth. This old cultivator is over a hundred years old and has long since let go."

Little Huang Rong: "Guo Xiang? Is she my daughter from another world?"

Ye Hei: "That’s right, Sister Rong."

Zhang Sanfeng: "Heroine Huang Rong, Guo Xiang has always been the heroine I admire most."

Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "Sanfeng Zhenren, you really know how to talk."

Qian Renxue: "Tsk tsk!"

Zhang Sanfeng: "This old cultivator is merely speaking truthfully!"

Ye Hei: "Hahaha."

Supergod World, Reincarnation Land.

"Group Owner, it’s time to invite new members."

Group Niang appeared out of thin air. Her tiny body sat on Xu Yi’s shoulder, looking petite and adorable.

"Sure. Next time, you can invite them yourself. Don’t keep asking me," Xu Yi said.

"Really? I can?" Group Niang’s face was full of anticipation. If she had the authority, would that not mean she could invite as many people as she wanted?

"You can, but if you mess around, you know what will happen, Group Niang. I know a little physical attack," Xu Yi said.

"…" Group Niang.

For the sake of her own safety, Group Niang silently began inviting new Chat Group members.

Ding! Beginning invitations for new members! Inviting!

Invitation successful!
