Chapter 32: Meeting Nuwa

The Silver Dragon Yaoguang, seeing its Dragon Chant broken, exhaled another blast of dragon breath, followed immediately by a dense, omnidirectional barrage of beams.

The Primordial Mother Goddess, wielding her nameless divine spear, pierced through the Dragon Chant, dissipated the dragon breath, and shattered the auroras capable of instantly annihilating the universe. Seeing each of its techniques dismantled, the Silver Dragon Yaoguang finally prepared to stake everything.

It fully ignited and mobilized the power of space-time under its control, forcing the Primordial Mother Goddess Nuwa to endure a direct hit from its universe-destroying beams at every single moment across the past, present, and future. In other words, from the moment of her birth, the Primordial Mother Goddess Nuwa was subjected to the Silver Dragon’s cataclysmic attacks with every passing heartbeat. This was one of the Silver Dragon’s ultimate techniques for manipulating space-time, intended to erase the Primordial Mother Goddess Nuwa from existence across all of space and time.

Just as the Primordial Mother Goddess Nuwa reached the brink of total annihilation, the divine spear in her hand suddenly erupted with a brilliant radiance, enveloping her completely. In this singular moment that would decide the futures of both the Primordial Mother Goddess Nuwa and the Silver Dragon Yaoguang, a sharp "crack" echoed.

With a sweeping strike of her divine spear, the Primordial Mother Goddess Nuwa severed the Silver Dragon Yaoguang’s head, bestowing "death" upon it with the nameless weapon. Immediately after, she used her Primordial Seed to collect the dragon's remains. The great battle had finally drawn to a close, with the Primordial Mother Goddess Nuwa emerging victorious.

At the same time, a long and expansive aurora phenomenon appeared in the Chaos Sea, resembling a magnificent painting that cast mysterious, shimmering colors across the endless expanse. The silent Chaos Sea seemed even more mysterious and beautiful for the presence of this dreamlike aurora. Looking upon the spectacle, the Primordial Mother Goddess Nuwa could not help but be entranced.

Deep Earth World.

Ouroboros had watched the entire battle between the Primordial Mother Goddess Nuwa and the Silver Dragon Yaoguang.

"Gengchen, giving a divine weapon of that caliber to a deity of the Huaxia Realm? Isn't that cheating?"

"Why don't you mention how you set the difficulty for the universe's unique 'Limit' tier to exceed all reasonable bounds?"

"High difficulty makes it challenging!"

"I would believe you if you actually adjusted the difficulty level."

"Enough, I won't argue with you. I still need to send my blessings to this little Nuwa who saved the universe."

With that, Ouroboros condensed a beam of purple light with its divine power and ordered it to seek out the Primordial Mother Goddess Nuwa. Then, Ouroboros turned its gaze toward the Heavenly Emperor Di Jun of the Kunlun Imperial Capital. "As for little Di Jun, I shall grant him a supreme treasure." Ouroboros produced a circular disk and commanded it to find the Heavenly Emperor.

Watching the rewards Ouroboros bestowed upon the Primordial Mother Goddess and the Heavenly Emperor, the Tianyuan Yinglong remarked, "If you acted a bit more normally and thought more like a standard life form, you would be a very competent Master of the Universe."

"Hey! I can't let that slide! It’s as if you, Gengchen, are so normal yourself—you’re just as eccentric as I am!"

"I don't deny that. After all, my emotions are quite faint; I sometimes hurt life forms when I speak to them, and I lack a sense of time."

"You really should be grateful that you’ve only encountered gentle life forms—and me!"

"Let’s forget that last part. I find it embarrassing to even know you now."

"You!..."

After receiving the blessings of Ouroboros in the Chaos Sea, the Primordial Mother Goddess Nuwa returned to her own universe.

...

Origin Ancestral Star, Huaxia Realm, Human Tribe.

The Primordial Mother Goddess Nuwa arrived before the Saint Nuwa, also known as Youjiao Nuwa. Seeing the Primordial Mother Goddess, the Saint bowed respectfully: "Greetings, Primordial Mother Goddess!"

"Youjiao Nuwa, you stepped forward when the human race faced a great catastrophe. I acknowledge your contributions."

The Primordial Mother Goddess then produced the Lotus Lantern and bestowed it upon the Saint. "Though this Lotus Lantern is a supreme treasure, only those with a kind heart can wield it. Remember this well!"

"Thank you, Primordial Mother Goddess!" The Saint accepted the lantern with great joy.

The Primordial Mother Goddess then looked toward Mu Changge and Athena. "Goddess of another realm, and envoy of this goddess, I am also grateful that you stepped forward to help the human race survive the crisis when the Huaxia Realm was in peril."

Athena smiled and replied, "I merely did what a deity must do."

The Primordial Mother Goddess nodded. "Speak, what reward do you desire?"

"Primordial Mother Goddess, my student and I have received guidance from the Lord Tianyuan Yinglong, and we wish to ask you to resolve our confusion."

"Oh? Let me hear it." Hearing that it concerned Tianyuan Yinglong, the Primordial Mother Goddess took the matter seriously.

Athena signaled for Mu Changge to speak. Mu Changge stepped forward, produced a dragon scale gifted by Tianyuan Yinglong, and said, "Primordial Mother Goddess, this is a dragon scale granted to me by Lord Tianyuan Yinglong. He told me that this scale could aid in a matter of critical importance to me."

"And what matter requires my assistance?"

"To defeat the Beast of the End."

Athena stepped forward to add, "Unlike the Beast of the End that the Primordial Mother Goddess defeated just now, the one my student must overcome is the Beast of the End of this universe!"

The Primordial Mother Goddess looked deeply at Mu Changge and Athena, then pondered in silence for several moments.

"Very well, I grant your request. But this is not the place to speak. Follow me to the Origin Temple."

"Thank you, Primordial Mother Goddess!"

Gonggong's defeat and his rage-fueled strike against Mount Buzhou, followed by Nuwa using the five-colored stones to mend the heavens—these two great events became the primary topics of discussion among all races in the Huaxia Realm.

Zhuanxu, the current leader of the Human Tribe Alliance, sought to help the humans recover quickly. He refashioned the Thunder Drum left by the Human Emperor Xuanyuan into the Human Emperor’s Edict, and the Heaven-Might Hammer, also left by Xuanyuan, was reforged into the Human Emperor’s Sword. With these artifacts, Zhuanxu successfully rallied the human race to begin recovery and development.

However, during his tenure as leader, the expulsion of the Wu Clan and the incident regarding spirits manifesting from the deceased occurred, and his conflict with Gonggong served as the catalyst for later disasters. Zhuanxu could not escape gossip; even his diligent work could not silence the secret criticisms within the tribe. Thus, this controversial leader of the alliance abdicated his position to Ku after ascending to the status of Heavenly Emperor.

Meanwhile, Heavenly Emperor Di Jun of the Kunlun Imperial Capital had sustained injuries while protecting the Origin Ancestral Star from the Silver Dragon Yaoguang. He had channeled his divine power to reinforce the heavens with the Heavenly Emperor Stele and halted the dragon's attempt to instantly destroy the universe. Consequently, he spent the following period healing within his central temple.
