At this moment, both Lu Li and Nan Hua were in a peculiar state.
They saw the woman holding a spear formed from condensed lightning, pointing it at the sky. The next moment, the entire world dimmed, leaving only the spear slicing through the darkness.
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling sphere of light appeared and expanded rapidly, quickly obscuring the entire sky and enveloping the two of them.
When Lu Li regained consciousness, the woman was already standing in front of him.
She had a compassionate look on her face, and although she was beautiful, Lu Li could sense that she was very tired.
"Who...are you?" Lu Li asked tremblingly.
For some reason, he always felt a strange sense of oppression when he was facing this woman.
He had never felt this way, not even when facing the Heavenly Dao.
"My name is Nuwa!"
Nuwa!
Lu Li felt a sudden rush of sound in his brain. Nuwa, the legendary Nuwa who created humankind?
She is the mother of all living beings, and the creator!
How could that be? Nuwa... isn't she a figure from a myth?
Does Nuwa even exist in this world?
No! Impossible!
“I am a wisp of Nuwa’s Qi power, which came into your body along with Ruoshui.”
Nuwa gazed indifferently at Lu Li, her eyes deep and unfathomable, like the vast starry sky.
"Nuwa's Qi? And it was only a wisp, yet it subdued that red thunder dragon so easily?" Lu Li was completely dumbfounded.
But he just couldn't understand it. Wasn't Nuwa a figure from mythology?
"Are you really Nuwa?" Lu Li mustered his courage and asked softly.
The woman nodded, remaining silent as she gazed at Lu Li.
"You're not a deity?"
"No, I am a human being."
"Human? How is that possible? Nuwa is an ancient goddess, a primordial holy spirit, how could she be human?" Lu Li exclaimed in surprise.
Nuwa created humans! How could she have been human herself?
"I don't remember much... I only remember that I was born at the beginning of time."
"At that time, the average lifespan of humans could reach tens of thousands of years."
At that moment, Lu Li's heart skipped a beat, and his brain raced.
In the beginning of time, according to Nan Hua's previous account of the cycle of eras, was Nuwa the first human being since the birth of Earth?
Humans at that time were very powerful, had long lifespans, and their strength was beyond question.
"So, you're one of the first humans from the first era?" Lu Li continued to ask.
"What is an era?" Nuwa looked at Lu Li with confusion.
"Forehead……"
Lu Li was stunned, unsure how to explain this to her.
"It is an era, from the birth of mankind to the extinction of mankind, which is called an era."
Nuwa seemed to have some understanding, and then said, "If that's the case, our era has lasted for 108,000 years."
Lu Li nodded thoughtfully, but then suddenly realized something was wrong.
How did she know that the first era existed for 108,000 years?
Could it be that she... has lived for 108,000 years?
"How...did you do that?" Lu Li swallowed hard and asked tentatively.
Nuwa pondered for a while and said, "I don't remember. I'm actually quite vague about it myself, but I can sense the existence of time in the Ruoshui River."
Lu Li gasped. Did this mean that Nuwa existed from the birth of humanity to its destruction?
"So, the stories of Kuafu chasing the sun, Houyi shooting down the sun, and Jingwei filling the sea are all true?" Lu Li asked with great curiosity.
Nuwa shook her head, repeating the same thing: she didn't remember.
After all, she was just a wisp of Qi within Nuwa's body, not the real Nuwa herself, so her memories were very fragmented, and she couldn't even obtain some simple information.
"Then what do you know?" Lu Li asked helplessly.
"I remember... back then, there was not only the Heavenly Way, but also the Earthly Way, the Human Way, and the three Great Ways."
Nuwa frowned and said, "At that time, the Heavenly Dao was very weak, while the Earthly Dao was the strongest."
"At that time, the human population was at its largest. I put people first and pioneered humanity!"
Lu Li gasped in astonishment. What a display of power!
People-centered, pioneering humanity!
No wonder everyone says that Nuwa created humans; so this is how it happened! This is beyond imagination!
"Then how did you die?" Lu Li asked again.
Nuwa frowned slightly, as if recalling a past event. After a moment, she slowly uttered four words.
"I don't remember."
Lu Li was dumbfounded. Oh well, she had forgotten again.
She always forgets the crucial details.
"So, your era was completely destroyed, is that right?" Lu Li asked again.
Nuwa nodded and said, "Yes, in the end, humanity was destroyed, and the underground world also declined as a result."
"Humanity...is destroyed?" Lu Li's heart pounded; this news was too shocking!
What exactly happened in that era? Humanity was destroyed, the earthly path declined, and only the heavenly path remained.
"So, it was Heaven's will that was behind this?" Lu Li asked in surprise.
But Nuwa shook her head and said, "It's not the Heavenly Dao; it doesn't have that ability."
Lu Li felt as if someone had grabbed him by the throat, not by the Heavenly Dao...
And who is that?
"Besides the Heavenly Dao, what other power could destroy the Human Dao and the Earthly Dao?"
"I don't remember."
