Just as Ao Qing returned to the Shores of the Four Seas, Nuwa's Palace in Nuwa's Sacred Temple.
Goddess Nuwa, one of the Six Sages, was sitting upright in her palace, overlooking everything that was happening in the human world.
In history, Goddess Nuwa was the progenitor of mankind. She created humans from clay and refined stones to mend the heavens. But in reality, she only regarded these things as matters of merit and didn't care about the lives of humans. Otherwise, she wouldn't have destroyed King Zhou of Shang's foundation and plunged countless people into misery and suffering just because King Zhou of Shang had insulted her.
"How is King Zhou of Shang doing?
Did Su Daji succeed? "
Suddenly, a cold voice slowly rang out. Nuwa, who was high up in the air, raised her neck and looked down at everything with a pair of cold, beautiful eyes.
"Goddess Nuwa, Su … Su Daji did not succeed. Instead, she became the wife of the Dragon Emperor of the East Sea, Ao Qing …" A Daoist child knelt on the ground and reported carefully.
Nuwa's lazy body suddenly straightened when she heard this. Her eyes were filled with shock. "What?!"
Su Daji's original plan was to cause chaos in the Shang and Zhou of Shang and start the Great God-Investiture Tribulation. Nuwa could also use this opportunity to gain some benefits from Yuanshi Tianzun, Taishang Laojun, and the others. But now, one of the most important chess pieces, Su Daji, had become someone else's wife?!
What, what was going on?!
The Daoist child looked at Nuwa's angry expression and took a deep breath. Then, he slowly explained everything that had happened.
When she heard that the Dragon Emperor of the Shores of the Four Seas, Ao Qing, had gone to the Shang and Zhou of Shang alone to suppress everything, Nuwa's eyes widened and she frowned. She did not expect the Dragons to rise so quickly, especially the Dragon Emperor Ao Qing. He had even become a nine-clawed Golden Dragon!
One had to know that although Nuwa was the ancestor of humans, she was actually a demon. During the Primordial Age, she was also the commander of the Demon Race. She had only obtained this position after the fall of the Ancestral Dragon.
In other words, when the Dragons, the Phoenixes, and the Kirins fell, the direct beneficiaries were Nuwa, as well as the other Demon Commanders such as Tōhoku Taichi and Di Jun. Now that the Dragons had regained their former glory, she was afraid that she would lose her status and position as the Demon Commander.
However, Nuwa didn't care too much about status and identity. The most important thing was that she, Nuwa, couldn't take advantage of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation to gain some benefits. Otherwise, her situation would be even more difficult in the future.
After all, although she was a Sage, many of the demons under her command were either roped in or destroyed by various forces. Sooner or later, it would be her turn.
In fact, Nuwa's worries were not wrong. After the Great God-Investiture Tribulation, Nuwa's forces fell and Nuwa herself was put under house arrest. She had to rely on the descendants of Nuwa from the Lower Realm to try and turn the tables. Unfortunately, they all failed.
During the Pilgrimage to the West, Buddhism flourished and no one remembered Nuwa, the Sage.
After experiencing so much, Nuwa herself knew all too well that every tribulation was a change in power and status. She could not be careless.
However, such an important matter had gone wrong!
"Capture Su Daji and bring her back to me!
I want to see what this Dragon Emperor Ao Qing is capable of! "
Nuwa was furious. However, just as she finished speaking, another child rushed in with a panicked expression. "Nuwa, bad news. Many of your Nuwa Temples in Yin Shang have been demolished and replaced with Dragon King Temples … Moreover, the incense in the Dragon King Temples is many times more than in Nuwa Temples … There is an endless stream of people going to pay their respects!"
Nuwa, who was already fuming with anger, gritted her teeth in anger when she heard this.
No one knew better than her what this meant!
One had to know that many of the temples built by the Gods were used for incense offerings. The Gods themselves could absorb the incense and quickly improve their realm. Every temple that Nuwa lost meant one less cultivation aid.
Now that all of Nuwa's temples had been replaced with Dragon King Temples, the incense was even more abundant than hers. Wasn't this a slap to her face?!
Nuwa, who wanted to find trouble with Dragon Emperor Ao Qing, could not hold it in anymore.
"Quickly dispatch the Demon Generals for me. I want to lead a hundred thousand Demon Soldiers and Demon Generals to attack the shores of the Four Seas!" Nuwa was completely enraged.
However, at this moment, a Daoist child cautiously approached and hurriedly advised, "Empress, please don't. Empress, did you hear about the matter of Dragon Emperor Ao Qing heading to Kunlun Mountain's Jade Void Temple yesterday?
Dragon Emperor Ao Qing killed Yuanshi Tianzun on the spot and took away his Investiture of the Gods and Holy Whip. He also fought against the twelve Golden Immortals under Yuanshi Tianzun's command. In the end, he even exchanged a blow with Yuanshi Tianzun and came out unscathed … Later, as an apology, Yuanshi Tianzun gave the Connate Spiritual Treasure, Auspicious Clouds In The Sky, to Dragon Emperor Ao Qing. "
"What?!" Nuwa sucked in a breath of cold air and gradually calmed down.
She was glad that she did not rush into action. Otherwise, even if she mobilized a hundred thousand Demon Soldiers and Demon Generals, she would not be a match for the Shores of the Four Seas.
However, this was not what surprised Nuwa. What really surprised her was that Dragon Emperor Ao Qing of the Shores of the Four Seas was such that even Yuanshi Tianzun did not dare to provoke him!
And he even gave him a treasure as an apology?!
"Your Highness, you and Dragon Emperor Ao Qing are both Demon Cultivators. I think that the rise of Dragon Emperor Ao Qing may not be a bad thing. Moreover, the Investiture of the Gods is now in the hands of Dragon Emperor Ao Qing. If you can rope him in and use the Investiture of the Gods to re-ascend, you can take advantage of this opportunity to plant a few of your own forces. After the Great God-Investiture Tribulation, won't it be your world?!" The Taoist child suggested when he saw that Nuwa had calmed down.
"That Yuanshi Tianzun actually allowed the Dragon Emperor Ao Qing to leave with the Investiture of the Gods?" Nuwa's eyes flashed with a deep light. She felt that Ao Qing was becoming more and more mysterious.
She was very clear about the importance of the Investiture of the Gods. At the same time, this also proved that the Dragon Emperor Ao Qing was not ordinary.
"That Dragon Emperor Ao Qing has always wanted to restore the glory of the Dragons. Don't you also want to restore the glory of the Demon Clan?!
If we join forces, we will be able to look down on everyone, "the Taoist child said again.
"If we join forces, we will be able to look down on everyone?"
Upon hearing this, Nuwa took a deep breath.
After Pangu created the world, the Dragons and the Phoenixes roamed the Untainted Land. In order to compete for resources, the Dragon Phoenix Tribulation occurred. After that, the Demon Clan and the Sorcerer Clan stepped onto the stage of history.
As the Lord of the Demon Realm, Nuwa was in the limelight when the Demon Clan was at its peak.
However, as the Demon Clan and the Sorcerer Clan suffered losses in the battle, the Sorcerer Clan fell. The Demon Clan was also exterminated by the Human Clan and the Immortals. They had no choice but to survive in the most difficult places …
Since when did Nuwa not want the Demon Clan to regain its former glory?!
Now, the opportunity seemed to be right in front of her!
