CHAPTER 950: CHAPTER 969: NUWA’S OBSESSION

But what did she see?

Various emotions bred within the Spirit Pond, and the overwhelming aura of the Red Dust rushed towards her, giving her an extreme sense of irritability.

"The so-called destiny of the Human Clan naturally blends the emotions of all humans, and this is also the foundation of the Power of Human Dao. If the destiny of the Human Clan disperses, the entire Human Clan will suffer a great calamity," Fu Xi explained solemnly.

"Set up the formation."

Fu Xi didn’t waste any words, directly forming a spell to set up the array, while Shennong and Xuanyuan also acted, forming a sealing array in a tripodal stance.

The three talents are Heaven, Earth, and Man; the three lights are the Sun, Moon, and Stars.

They emulate the heavens above and conform to the celestial bodies of the sun, moon, and stars. They take the law from the earth below and conform to the sequence of the four seasons. In the middle, they harmonize with the will of the people to stabilize the four directions. This great formation is also called the Human Dao Formation.

Rumble!

The Human Dao Formation hummed and rotated, streams of the Power of Human Dao poured down, directly suppressing the human destiny that spewed out from the hundred-foot Spirit Pond below, silencing the world.

"Phew!"

The Three Emperors of the Human Clan simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief. With the Human Dao Formation set, it would take forty-nine days to suppress the destiny of the Human Clan back into the Mother Qi Pool. A thousand years later, it could be suppressed again.

"Little sister, the three of us achieved an alternative path to Dao, all derived from the Power of Human Dao within this Mother Qi Pool. You should carefully sense this power. If you can gain recognition from the Power of Human Dao, you could become the Fourth Emperor of the Human Clan," Fu Xi spoke solemnly, placing high hopes on Nuwa.

"An alternative path to Dao?"

Nuwa stared blankly at the destiny of the Human Clan within the Mother Qi Pool, more deeply feeling the terror of the Power of Human Dao. She murmured lowly, a struggle and hesitation flickering in her eyes.

Suddenly, Nuwa looked up at Fu Xi, her voice deep, "Brother, if I were to take this alternative path to Dao, would I also be trapped in the Fire Cloud Cave like the three of you forever?"

Fu Xi was observing the operation of the Human Dao Formation, not catching the deep meaning in Nuwa’s words. He nodded slowly, "The destiny of the Human Clan is of paramount importance and must not be lost. We cannot leave the Fire Cloud Cave; otherwise, if the destiny of the Human Clan scatters, we would be the eternal sinners of the Human Clan."

"I understand, brother!" Nuwa’s brows lowered, no longer showing any movement.

Time passed little by little.

Seven days later, the Human Dao Formation no longer required manipulation by the Three Emperors of the Human Clan and continued to operate on its own. When the forty-nine days are complete, the Three Emperors can leave from here.

"Please have some tea, my three brothers."

On the eighth day, while the Three Emperors of the Human Clan were sensing the Power of Human Dao beside the Mother Qi Pool, Nuwa approached from the other side, holding three jade bowls in her hands, a refreshing tea aroma slowly wafting out.

"Seven-Colored Snow Lotus, I didn’t expect our virtuous sister to have such a good thing," Human Emperor Xuanyuan slowly opened his eyes, smiling at Nuwa.

"Elder brother loves tea brewed with Seven-Colored Snow Lotus, and it so happens that I have a Seven-Colored Snow Lotus, specially offering it to the three of you today," Nuwa whispered softly.

"Please taste it, my three brothers." Nuwa said, passing the three jade bowls to the Three Emperors of the Human Clan, her face wearing a gentle smile.

"Our little sister is thoughtful."

Fu Xi sighed, drank the clear tea in one gulp, but a faint, nearly imperceptible look of disappointment flashed through his eyes.

"Good tea."

Human Emperor Xuanyuan praised aloud, casually handing the jade bowl back to Nuwa, while Shennong also drank it all, but helplessly shook his head.

Watching the three of them drink the tea, Nuwa bit her lips slightly, guilt appearing in her eyes because she had placed Lotus Seeds of the Destructive Black Lotus in the three bowls of tea.

"Little sister, you have greatly disappointed your brother."

Crack!

Suddenly, the sound of a shattering jade bowl rang out, and Fu Xi slowly stood up, looking at Nuwa with a face full of pain, his eyes faintly red.

"B-Brother, what... what are you talking about?" Nuwa’s face was panicked, her voice trembling slightly.

"Daoist Nuwa, you actually poisoned the three of us. Why would you do this? Do you want to harm your brother Fu Xi?"

Shennong sighed deeply, taking out three Golden Cores, consuming one beforehand, then handed the other two to Fu Xi and Xuanyuan.

"What’s happening?"

Human Emperor Xuanyuan looked confused, not yet understanding, but he quickly took the Golden Core, looking at Shennong with a face full of doubt.

"Nuwa, I was puzzled from the start when you wanted to follow us into here, but I didn’t pay much heed. Not until you brought these three bowls of Seven-Colored Snow Lotus did I discover you poisoned the tea," Shennong looked at Nuwa with extreme disappointment.

"But you forget, I am Earth Emperor Shennong, who tasted all kinds of herbs back then. Even if I couldn’t identify the poison you used, which appears to be both colorless and tasteless, it couldn’t escape my perception. This poison must be extremely potent, isn’t it?" Earth Emperor Shennong recounted, his face full of great disappointment.

"Little sister, what are you trying to do?"

Fu Xi’s face flushed, having been informed by Shennong through a private message that the tea was poisoned, infuriating him immensely. Yet, he still drank the tea because he didn’t believe Nuwa would harm him, hoping Shennong was mistaken.

But now he was disappointed because Nuwa’s fearful eyes did not dare to meet his, revealing that the tea was indeed poisoned. How could Fu Xi not be heartbroken?

"So you knew the tea was poisoned all along!" Nuwa laughed bitterly, realizing she still underestimated the Three Emperors of the Human Clan.

"Although I couldn’t recognize the poison you used, I had previously refined three Holy Pills of Spirits, capable of counteracting all the world’s poisons. That’s why I allowed Brother Fu Xi to drink the tea," Shennong sighed deeply.

"I see!"

Nuwa laughed bitterly, and when things reached this point, she could no longer deny it. Under Fu Xi’s furious gaze, Nuwa confessed her collaboration with Demon Ancestor Luo Hou.

"Are you mad? You collaborated with that Demon Ancestor to steal the Power of Human Dao just to kill Ye Xuan. Don’t you know that doing so would plunge the Human Clan into endless calamity?"

Fu Xi was furious, murderous intent erupting. If Nuwa weren’t his little sister, he would certainly smash her soul into nothing.

"Destructive Lotus Seed?"

"It was indeed the Destructive Lotus Seed?"

Suddenly, as Fu Xi raged, Shennong’s face turned pale, and words of gibberish spilled from his mouth.

"Quick, restrain Nuwa immediately and seal this world completely."

Shennong declared in horror, and before Fu Xi and Xuanyuan could react, he lunged towards Nuwa, trying to suppress her instantly.

Puff!

Suddenly, an extremely terrifying thing happened. Before Shennong could suppress Nuwa with his palm, a mouthful of vital blood spurted from his mouth, and his aura instantly weakened, collapsing helplessly onto the ground.

"Wha... What’s going on... Argh!"

Before Human Emperor Xuanyuan could finish his words, a wisp of Demonic Qi suddenly sprouted from his forehead, and a mouthful of blood also spurted from his mouth, his body collapsing like Shennong’s.
