Chapter 90 The Ninetieth Day of Nuwa Creating a Game
Although it was just an excuse to avoid Kong Xuan's gaze, the news of Di Jun's wedding was absolutely true.
The Heavenly Emperor's wedding, recognized by all under Heaven, was a grand and imposing affair, with invitations extended to all renowned figures in the primordial world. Nuwa and her brother Fuxi were naturally going, but Yuan Yi, still concerned about the game program needing modifications, remained at Wuzhuang Temple, unwilling to leave.
However, even the grandest wedding must come to an end. Although heaven and earth celebrated and all eyes were on them, when it was truly over, Nuwa held the red embroidered ball that she had obtained through a chance encounter, bid a hasty farewell, and left.
He even put aside his elder brother, who was having a pleasant conversation with Di Jun about becoming a guest minister of the Heavenly Court.
These days, Tian Yuanyi is messing around with some kind of formation maintenance and plot modification. Nuwa's "Miracle Primordial World Beta Version" is unreliable; sometimes she can log in, and sometimes she can't.
Nuwa had grown accustomed to the fact that the interface never loaded. She tucked the game into her sleeve and, dragging her snake tail, joined the roadside revelry.
The Heavenly Emperor's wedding was a grand occasion not only in the Heavenly Court, but also in the many demon clans under Di Jun's jurisdiction. The numerous lesser demons took this opportunity to revel, and Nuwa, who happened to be passing by, blended in without appearing out of place at all.
Nuwa led the little demons to hastily brew a fruit and flower wine. On the right, a red embroidered ball revealed a red thread of fate connecting a pair of little demons. On the left, a demon-summoning banner stood majestically, signifying that all the little demons could obey its commands.
Nuwa shook her head. This time, the Heavenly Court's trip to the Heavenly Court had been conducted openly. Although the Heavenly Court wanted to keep such a treasure that could easily control all demons, the brother and sister were not ordinary people. Naturally, the Heavenly Court did not dare to seize it. In the end, they simply left the name of a guest minister and hastily concluded the matter.
The little demons were having a good time, so why bother them with an extra demon-summoning banner? Nuwa, holding a red embroidered ball, gently touched the red thread between the destined ones, and the two little demons, who were still in love, came together, thus creating a beautiful union.
As she continued playing and exploring, Nuwa followed her instincts and headed east, taking a break to try logging into the game and experiencing the newly added character customization feature.
While enjoying this pleasant life and environment, Nuwa suddenly found herself on a vast, empty land.
The towering Buzhou Mountain stood nearby, but at its foot, there were only a few scattered flowers, grasses, and trees; not a single living creature appeared.
This made Nuwa, who had been enjoying the lively atmosphere of the little demons, suddenly feel empty.
The snake's tail slid across the grass and mud, the only sound the flattening of the vegetation. This was a vast, boundless, yet utterly silent land, completely different from what Nuwa had seen and felt during this time.
There should be such vitality between heaven and earth. Nuwa stopped in her tracks and realized that she had unknowingly arrived at the place where she had shared the Primordial Gourd with her fellow Daoists after leaving Zixiao Palace.
At that time, her tail was wrapped around the little Daoist Yuanyi. Tongtian, who was standing to the side, wanted to say something but didn't know how to speak. Hongyun and Laozi bowed to each other, while Zhenyuanzi and Yuanshi chatted just right. They were just Daoist friends who had met once and listened to the Dao together, but now they were good friends who could get along well.
I had made memories here with my friends before, but once I left, the place became deserted and even the earth seemed desolate.
Nuwa took out the game room, which was still focused on the red wedding dress she had only half-finished designing. She knew in her heart that the dress still lacked some vitality and could only be rated as Earth-level.
But this dazzling red stood out unusually against the desolate earth. Nuwa sat cross-legged beside the gourd's root, which Yuan Yi had planted on a whim; it was now half her waist tall. The gourd vine, which Nuwa had kept in her bundle and which shared the same root, sensed this and eagerly leaped out.
Seeing the vibrant life emanating from the plants and trees, Nuwa was moved and sculpted a clay figure with two hands and two feet from the mud. Drawing on her experience creating characters in games, the clay figure quickly developed unique features and an appearance.
Nuwa held the clay figure in her hands and dressed it in the red wedding gown she had made in the game. But the motionless clay figure paired with the bright red wedding gown looked extremely eerie. The clay figure, which was originally quite decent, now appeared extremely stiff, as if all its vitality had been absorbed by the wedding gown.
Nuwa shook her head and gently exhaled onto the clay figure in her palm. The next second, the figure, originally made of clay, shed its muddy appearance, revealing yellowish-white skin that perfectly matched the red wedding dress.
But it still wouldn't work. Nuwa shook her head at the little figures she had created. What she needed here wasn't lifeless clay figures. She needed a group of beings that could survive in the burial place of her father, a group of beings that would fill the earth with vibrant life.
Having figured this out, the Dao of Creation circulating within Nuwa's body finally broke through to that final point of essence. She blew into her palm again, but this time what came out was a wisp of purple mist, and the little clay figure in her palm came to life after touching this purple mist.
The little figure bounced and jumped in Nuwa's palm, calling out loudly to her, "Mommy, Mommy!"
Seeing how affectionate her first newly created being was towards her, Nuwa's heart softened. She looked at the little figure dressed in red, the red embroidered ball hanging from its waist telling her that if they were to become husband and wife, they would need a boy and a girl.
Now that there was a woman dressed in a red wedding gown, the mother naturally wanted to create a man for her daughter. So Nuwa began to create a man as well.
Nuwa created a couple, but then realized that a couple alone could not reproduce. So she created dozens of little figures, who jumped and hopped around Nuwa, paying homage to their mother who created them.
But after creating her hundredth character, the girl finally realized she couldn't keep sculpting endlessly with just her two hands. The game, which was constantly running, also displayed that its public beta was about to begin. "Miracle Wilderness," with its wondrous adventures, fun character creation system, and beautiful costumes, awaits you.
Nuwa remembered that in "Miracle of the Primordial World," each set of clothes could be paired with a different face, and hundreds of sets of clothes could create hundreds of different human figures. So why not use the formations in "Miracle of the Primordial World" to create different facial features and shapes for the little figures she wanted to sculpt?
Thinking of this, Nuwa casually picked up a gourd vine leaning to the side, connecting one end to the character creation array in the game, while the other end sank into the mud. As Nuwa pulled the gourd vine and activated the array, every mud drop that flew into the sky would be sculpted into a brand new face by the rapidly operating array in the random character creation mode.
When the clay figure falls to the ground, it will turn into a living little person, joining the person who was recently created by Nuwa, and together they will sing and dance around their "mother".
As soon as the gourd vine flew, dozens or even hundreds of people were created. In less than a quarter of an hour, several thousand little people appeared under Nuwa's body, half of whom were women and half of whom were men. Most of them were connected by red threads under the witness of the innate treasure, the Red Embroidered Ball.
Nuwa carefully examined the faces of the little people who were thrown out after her, and only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that none of them were missing limbs or had ugly faces. However, thinking that since the faces were randomly generated, some of the newborn children might be dissatisfied, Nuwa pulled up the free reset function in the game interface separately.
"You were made of clay, which gave you your facial features. Those born later can change their appearance in front of this formation. However, you will only have one chance." Nuwa's body had grown tens of millions of times larger, and her snake tail could support thousands of tiny people.
The little people were overjoyed to hear Nuwa's words. Immediately, some of them ran to the mud where they had just rubbed people and added two more pieces of flesh to their rather plain faces. They were satisfied with their plump faces and then returned to the crowd.
Seeing how amusing the little people she had created were, Nuwa, who was half the height of Mount Buzhou, couldn't help but smile.
But these little figures are made of mud after all, and are far too fragile compared to the original gods of heaven and earth. They would fall and hurt their hands and feet just from falling from a rock several meters high.
Upon seeing this, Nuwa quickly moved her snake tail to remove all the large stones and logs that might pose a threat to the little people, and filled in all the ditches and ravines she saw along the way, giving the little people a flat piece of land.
"You will have to..." After all, these little people were created by Nuwa herself, so for the long term, Nuwa naturally wanted to let these little people grow and multiply on this land first.
I wanted to give these newborn little people some advice on what to be careful about living in the prehistoric world, but then I suddenly remembered that these little people didn't have names that could distinguish them.
They were a race completely different from the primordial world. When this thought came to Nuwa's mind, she thought she should give them a different name.
Nuwa swayed her snake tail and saw that the little people she had created were no different from her upper body except for their snake tails. Their legs, walking one in front of the other, happened to form a word: "From now on, you shall be called the human race."
Nuwa, following her own understanding, uttered the name of this race. And the next second, an extremely thick golden light of merit appeared between heaven and earth.
The excessive merit, in accordance with Nuwa's understanding of the Great Dao of Creation, almost forcibly elevated Nuwa to another realm she had never imagined.
Auspicious purple clouds appeared between heaven and earth, heralding the birth of a sage, stretching three thousand miles eastward.
Nuwa attained sainthood.
This brief message appeared in the minds of all living beings in the primordial world. In an instant, all living beings in the primordial world looked towards Mount Buzhou, some kneeling and some bowing their heads, all expressing their sincere reverence for the newly born sage.
But Nuwa, having attained sainthood, had complex thoughts. Although she had long sensed that she was only a tiny distance from achieving the Great Dao, she decided to attain sainthood after creating the human race and naming it, thus achieving the Great Dao's perfection.
Becoming a saint is naturally a good thing. However, another message issued at the same time as her becoming a saint was that "a saint cannot stay in the primordial wilderness for long and must quickly go to the Nine Heavens to establish a cave dwelling."
Nuwa felt the increasingly heavy pressure of the Heavenly Dao on her body, and she had to leave as soon as possible.
But she was also reluctant to look at the human race she had just created. In this dog-eat-dog world, these newborn children were so weak. How could they survive in the wilderness without her protection?
So Nuwa withstood the pressure and left her unique aura at the foot of Buzhou Mountain, using her power to protect the newly created human race.
Then she gently held the first human woman she created, dressed in a red wedding gown, in her palm: "From now on, I will no longer be able to live in the prehistoric world. As the first human in the world, you must shoulder the responsibility of leading your people to survive in the prehistoric world."
As she spoke, Nuwa pointed her finger at the woman's originally illusory red wedding dress, and the virtual dress transformed into a divine garment.
"Mother...Mama." The newly born humans did not know the destiny that sages could not stay in the primordial wilderness for long, and they kept calling out for their mother, reluctant to let Nuwa go.
Nuwa also bid a reluctant farewell, wondering what kind of future awaited this weak human race in the prehistoric world.
The Heavenly Dao couldn't help but urge: "[Beyond the Nine Heavens lies a network of earth veins, allowing for gameplay similar to that of the primordial era.]"
-----------------------
Author's Note: Heaven's Dao: Why isn't the new Sage leaving yet? He even created a special outfit from a game; he must be reluctant to leave the game. Just tell them they can also play games on Hongjun's network outside the Nine Heavens, and they definitely won't be so reluctant. [Sunglasses]
