Manzhou is the hometown of the Wu and Miao people, and it is rumored that this is the place where the human queen Nuwa was born.

The mountains here are continuous, surrounded by verdant greenery, and it rains all year round, so hundreds of mountain streams are formed. The crystal clear mountain stream flows down the river, and finally turns into a large river about 100 zhang wide at the foot of the mountains.

This big river, because it is formed by the convergence of mountain streams, so the water temperature is relatively cold, and the mountains of Manzhou are warm as spring all year round, and the river surface of the mountain streams rushing and gathering rises layers of clouds and mist.

Under the clouds and mist, the water surface of the endless river is very quiet, although there are occasional rough waves, but it is also wrapped in dense fog without showing sound and color, which is very mysterious.

Because of the continuous mountains of Manzhou, and the fact that people often get lost in this great river, even the most confident fishermen dare not set foot within the ten miles of the fog.

Hundreds of years ago, there was a rumor, a riverside fish household in the edge of the mist, saw a colorful reckless, a time spread, although the Han people in the barbarian state are not witch seedlings, but also very believe in the legend of Nuwa, many people will the colorful python as a god.

It is precisely because of this that this nameless river shrouded in mist is named Wa River.

Under this mist, it is difficult for ordinary people to enter the Wa River, so no one knows what kind of mystery there is in the dozens of miles covered by the mist. But there is no shortage of curious people in the world, and for hundreds of years, there are naturally many people who are curious, trying to enter the center of the fog and investigate.

But whoever it is, they will eventually fall into a coma after stepping into the fog. When they woke up the next day, they were all carrying a big tree in their arms and going down the river.

When the Seeker awoke, he was confused, but no matter how much they thought about it, they could hardly remember what had happened in the mist.

It is also the magical forgetfulness of the curiosity hunter that makes many people trust the big python rumored by the folk. Over time, beyond the mist, there were often fishermen and hunters who sacrificed at the edge of the mist.

Perhaps it was a coincidence, or perhaps there was something really subtle, since the beginning of the sacrifice, the fishermen and hunters who lived close to the banks of the Wa River suddenly found that the prey fish, which were already very scarce in the surrounding area, had also become fatter and more abundant.

Such a miraculous thing naturally attracted the attention of the officers and soldiers and even many Han family children, but whether it was the Wumiao clan in Manzhou or the Han people living in Manzhou, they were very repulsive to outsiders.

In particular, when they learned that the person who came was with the idea of exploring the fog, they were even more disgusted.

For these fishermen and hunters, they were originally representatives of the heavens for food, but now they are blessed with the protection of this fog very closely. The visit of Hermes-Epitek and the officers and soldiers also had to return in disappointment with the disgust of these fishermen and hunters.

The departure or arrival of these people naturally does not affect anything. With the passage of time, the enrollment of fishermen and hunters on both sides of the Wa River has become better and better. As they lived happily, they naturally revered the legend of Nuwa more, so sacrifices became a tradition on both sides of the Wa River.

Although they are not sure if what they worship is Nuwa Niangniang, they regard it as Nuwa Niangniang, and for this reason they offer everyone's lifelong faith.

Ritual ceremonies take place every year, and as the banks of the Wa River become more fertile, so does the life of fishermen and hunters. As a token of gratitude, these people raised their own funds to build a large temple at the very edge of the mist.

In order to express their respect for Nuwa Niangniang in their hearts, they personally shaped the golden body of Nuwa Niangniang in the big temple.

Today, this large temple made of mangosteen trees and rubble is finally covered with red silk, and under the sound of firecrackers, the golden body shaped by the people's own hands is also in the incense, becoming vivid. People bowed down under the incense.

When night fell, the revered fish-men and hunters paid their respects to Nuwa's golden body after offering their own rituals, and then left their own homes. Not long after the crowd dispersed, many people suddenly noticed that the very stable fog on the Wa River seemed to be blown by the night breeze, becoming extended.

Before everyone had time to marvel, they suddenly heard a thunderclap rolling from the sky, and many people looked at the newly built temple with dumbfounded eyes, slowly disappearing in the mist, and finally completely wrapped in the mist.

The fishermen were amazed and talked to each other, but soon, with a gray-haired old man in the crowd taking the lead in chanting, many people rushed to their knees and shouted, "Niang Niang Sheng'an." ”

The four characters here are their simple wishes, they don't understand what Nuwa Niangniang needs, so 'Sheng'an' is their best wish to her.

In the mist, a girl dressed in purple with a purple veil gradually disappeared in the company of a woman in a blue robe who looked like a sacrifice.

The girl in purple had a graceful posture, and her lotus steps moved lightly, heading towards the Nuwa Temple not far behind her.

Under the moonlight, already in the fog, two weak women, they should be panicked, and even screamed, but the reality is that they are as calm as water.

The purple-clothed girl at the head walked and walked, and soon came to the temple, and when they tried to step into the temple, they suddenly found that the footsteps that should have been lifted easily were suddenly kicked into something similar to a wall.

The purple-clothed woman's face changed suddenly, as if she had thought of something, and then hurriedly took a step back, and two steps outside the stairs in front of the temple, pulled the blue-clothed woman to bow down and bowed: "Zixuan, the eighty-seventh generation descendant of Nuwa, has seen the ancestors. ”

After a moment, Zixuan suddenly felt a soft force, supporting her arms and lifting herself up. This force is so soft, and so friendly.

Zixuan's eyes were full of brilliance, with a happy smile on her face, and she pulled the woman in blue and said, "Holy Aunt, do you feel it?" It's an ancestor, it's an ancestor! ”

Shenggu looked at Zi Xuan, who was happy like a child, and said with a face full of disbelief: "Yes, I feel it too!" It's Niangniang, maybe it's the sincerity of these people, maybe it's something else, Niangniang really appeared. ”

Outside the temple, two young and beautiful women were cheering, but inside the temple, Tang Ning sighed leisurely: "Niangniang, your descendants are as kind as you, and they have been protecting this civilian for more than hundreds of years. (Not Zixuan alone)"

Above the temple, Nuwa Niangniang's golden body was no different, Tang Ning bowed to the golden body, and then continued: "Back then, for the sake of the human race, you exhausted your divine power, just to protect their health. But what you didn't expect was that from the moment you dissipated your divine power, the fate of the human race would no longer belong to them. ”

"Although the current human race seems to be safe and healthy, it is actually hindered by the way of heaven. Like these lovely commoners, they sink in the providence of God, whether they live or die, whether they are rich or poor, they are not up to themselves. However, those cultivators who represented the power of the human race, under the guidance of the Heavenly Emperor, gradually deviated from the essence of cultivation. ”

"Cultivation is originally to cultivate the mind, and cultivating the mind is to comprehend the nature of heaven and earth, but what they are now comprehending is the path designated by the Emperor of Heaven! In order to control the human race, in order to ensure the dominance of the god race, cultivators cannot comprehend the Great Dao, how can they have a chance to get out of the predicament?

Moreover, as your descendants, they are one generation after another, and each generation and each one of them has fallen into the sea of misery under the control of the Emperor of Heaven. This is the human race you sacrificed your life to create? Or, would you like to see this kind of situation? ”

After saying this, Tang Ning didn't speak again, but looked at Zixuan outside the temple, frowning and waiting for a response.

I don't know how long later, there was a sudden light sound in the temple, and Tang Ning's eyes lit up and he listened carefully.

"They are my descendants, and since they have inherited my blood, there is nothing wrong with sacrificing themselves for the sake of the world."

Tang Ning smiled when he heard this, and immediately looked at Zixuan and said, "Is their sacrifice inevitable?" ”

The temple returned to calm, not knowing whether it was thinking or not wanting to pay attention to it.

Is the sacrifice of Nuwa's descendants inevitable? Or, was Nuwa Niangniang's sacrifice inevitable?

The answer to this question is, of course, needless to say.

"When Niangniang first created people, there were regulations on the birth, aging, sickness, death, inheritance and reproduction of the human race, and the matter of marriage and marriage was originally nature, if it was fate to abandon nature, then why should there be a difference between men and women?"

"You are not one of my people, so why are you so concerned about the affairs of the Terrans?"

It seemed that after a long time, a soft voice finally came from the temple again, and Tang Ning smiled when he heard this: "I am also a human being." ”

"Although I am not your people, I can empathize with the Terrans, who have been in a similar situation in my world, but the Terrans in our world are more difficult than here.

My teacher, for the sake of the future of the human race, in order to fight against the kingdom of God, is constantly making various attempts. My little uncle also drew his sword to the sky, and their purpose was just to win a fair and free living space for the human race. ”

"What is the current world, I think Niangniang naturally understands, and I also understand your worries, you are unwilling to bet on the survival of the human race, this is not impossible. It's just that if you don't dare to resist, the human race will live forever and become a vassal of the god race, and the Heavenly Emperor will also control the future of the human race forever. The human race will also continue to reincarnate in the sea of suffering under the Heavenly Dao. ”

"Your words are reasonable, but they cannot convince me."

Tang Ning was slightly flustered when he heard this, and his handsome face seemed to be a little depressed.

"The matter of Shushan, I think Niangniang knows very well that although the gas in the lock demon tower is still forming, it is also growing. Maybe in a year, it will be available. Its ability to endure in you and me naturally does not matter, but it grows outside the six realms, and these six realms are the six realms of the Heavenly Emperor, and the immortal realms are also within the six realms. ”

"Its appearance will cause the human race to go through a catastrophe, and may even be wiped out because of it. In the face of such an enemy, whether it is Shushan or the Terran cultivators in the New Immortal Realm, who can stop it? ”

"Could it be that the Lady would think that the Emperor of Heaven would help the human race survive the catastrophe? Or are you counting on the Demon Zunlou to kill it? Oh, if that's the case, then the lady really miscalculated the chessboard. The trace of divine thought that you can leave under the eyes of the Emperor of Heaven remains in the world, which proves that Niangniang has long been wary of the Emperor of Heaven, since she knows that it is a tiger wolf, why should she fatten it? ”

"Although Niangniang once left a pair of jade pendants in this world, the jade pendant is sealed with the spiritual power you once reserved, with this pair of jade pendants, the human race has passed several crises, but the spiritual power in the jade pendant will eventually be exhausted.

When it disappears completely, your power will disappear from this world, and at that time, who will help the Terrans who are accustomed to being controlled? Whether it is Shushan or the New Immortal Realm, their power is the Emperor of Heaven, what the Emperor of Heaven gives them, they can only comprehend something, if the Emperor of Heaven is unwilling to give anything, where should the human race go?

Although you have a way to avoid the Heavenly Emperor, how can you, who have lost your power, change all this? ”

After waiting for a while, Tang Ning couldn't get an answer, so he shook his head and sighed: "Since Niangniang is difficult to trust, then I have nothing to say." Of course, since I'm here, I'm not going to do nothing.

If you are not in a hurry, wait for a few decades, and in a few decades, your children and grandchildren will suffer a catastrophe for the human race, and then you will see the changes I have brought to the human race. ”

After Tang Ning finished speaking, he bowed to Nuwa's golden body, and immediately escaped into the space.

When it disappeared, a soft voice echoed in the temple: "Life will not exist, let alone change." ”

In fact, as the Three Emperors of the Ancient World, Nuwa is naturally not an ordinary person, she does not trust Tang Ning, but Tang Ning's cultivation is not enough for her to rest assured that she will bet on him.

You know, the last time she lost the game with Fuxi, that time she lost the freedom of the human race. This time, if we lose again, I am afraid that the Terrans will cease to exist.

With such a heavy note, how dare Nuwa descend on a cultivator at the beginning of the Eight Realms.

Although she felt an aura similar to her own from Tang Ning, it was too weak after all.

What's more, Nuwa didn't know Tang Ning, if she made a decision easily, once he was similar to Fu Xi, wouldn't he be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, and let the human race become a victim of his desire for power in vain.

After the soft sound disappeared, a soft blue light flashed outside the temple, and the blue light disappeared in a flash, and Zixuan and Shenggu, who were guarding outside the temple, quickly entered the temple, and then bowed to Nuwa's golden body.

On the other side, Tang Ning naturally understood everything, he knew that it was impossible for Nuwa to trust herself easily, let alone put the future of the human race on herself at will, after all, if it were him, he would do the same.

The purpose of his search for Nuwa this time was not to directly gain recognition, but more to inform Nuwa of what he was going to do next. After all, he is an outsider, and if he wants to complete the task, gaining Nuwa's approval is an indispensable link.

If he wants to gain Nuwa's approval, the first thing Tang Ning has to do is to show his strength. And if you want to show your strength, the best way is of course not to go to the Demon Respect Building, but to ......

Outside the Nine Heavens of the Divine Realm Nantian Gate, Tang Ning came to the Nantian Gate alone, facing the oncoming Divine Realm guards, Tang Ning waved his right hand, and the two talismans rushed straight into the sky above the Divine Realm.

"Who dares to trespass into the Divine Realm?"

When the guards came closer, Tang Ning took a step forward with a calm face, while the Divine Realm guard shouted: "Those who trespass on the Divine Realm will be killed!" ”

The two gods held spears in their hands, stepped on the white clouds, and slashed in the air, and came to Tang Ning in the blink of an eye. Tang Ning just glanced at the general lightly, and the two froze.
