Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

Withered and flourishing cannot face all living beings.

So he sat down in the long river of time, and Nuwa... in He Li's view, the reason for her death was perhaps not only because of guilt, but also because of returning the Dao to Heaven.

The goddess Nuwa's idea was perhaps to use her own death to repay the heavens and prolong the life of heaven and earth.

Nuwa was, after all, one of the top deities.

Upon closer examination, dying of despair is indeed unlikely.

But Nuwa is ultimately a benevolent goddess, and it is quite possible that she would do something to restore order to the world.

Is this the truth?

Although there are still many details to consider, He Li believes that what Wa said is roughly true about the changes in the world, but the result is indeed very frustrating.

Because there's really no solution to this kind of problem...

No, that's not right, it's not entirely unsolvable.

As if he had thought of something.

He Li suddenly looked at Nuwa: "If... if anyone could stand at the top of the heavens."

"If absolute rules could be enforced, forcing all living beings to return to the Way of Heaven, could the world maintain its normal operation? Would the conflict between the world and living beings completely disappear?"

Upon hearing this, Nuwa remained silent for a moment.

He then nodded, "It's possible, but it's impossible in our time."

"How so?" He Li frowned.

"Because there are too many strong people in this era."

Nuwa shook her head: "Not only are there the Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Court and the Lord of the Underworld, but also many other top experts from various groups. These beings are all at a level no weaker than mine."

"In this world, there is no being that can suppress a large number of top-level gods at the same time."

"Even the Heavenly Dao can hardly suppress them."

"Under such circumstances..."

How to enforce absolute rules?

"Besides..." Nuwa said helplessly, "Apart from those top experts, all living beings will also rebel."

"Beings like Suirenshi, the Fire Ancestor, and Youchaoshi, the Nest Emperor, would inevitably raise the banner of resistance, leading countless beings in a struggle against the heavens, regardless of the cost."

"Because for them..."

"To defy fate is our destiny!"

Destiny? Yes, Suirenshi, the ancestor of fire, created controllable flames to drive away darkness for all living beings!

The Chaohuang clan of Youchao created houses to protect all living beings from the harshness of nature, such as cold winds and scorching heat, and there were many other similar beings... Such was their destiny.

If such a being were to truly appear, it would be something like the one He Li described, capable of forcibly enforcing the rules of Heaven…

Those beings burdened with the destiny of resistance...

They will certainly resist at any cost.

Faced with so many forces, who in this world can still enforce the rules of Heaven?

So, as Nuwa said, it was impossible to do such a thing in their time, but... it is not impossible to do such a thing in later generations.

After all, there aren't many strong individuals in later generations.

"Is it only possible to carry out this idea in the future?"

He Li muttered to himself.

Nuwa nodded: "Indeed, looking to the future, you have a strong chance of standing at the pinnacle."

"If you can suppress the era, then the tragedy of our time may no longer happen, but... that also means that you will stand completely against all living beings."

"All living beings will make killing you their ultimate goal..."

"You will be portrayed as a monster that oppresses the world."

"You will be despised by all living beings..."

"Can you tolerate all this?"

Nuwa slowly approached He Li and asked him questions.

The latter frowned and remained silent; he had actually considered what the consequences of doing so would be.

It's inevitable that he will be condemned by all, and he will even be portrayed as a major villain who oppresses the world in many future literary works, just like some villains in online novels...

People don't care about the truth.

Even if the truth is revealed, there will always be people who believe they can defy fate...

Other solutions can be thought of.

Then he pointed at He Li's nose and scolded him for doing such an extreme thing.

Nuwa seemed to see through He Li's heart.

Seeing that he remained silent, she continued...

"Let's not talk about anyone else!"

"Most importantly, your equally promising peers may not support you; on the contrary, they may choose to stand against you."

"Even if they know the truth...because living beings will always harbor unrealistic fantasies."

"They'll always think there's a way..."

"So you're still sticking to your own ideas?"

"Will you still follow the rules?"

That's right, He Li couldn't guarantee that Yu Ji, Jiang Hongxian, and the others would still support his choice.

But... so what?

He has never cared about other people's opinions or how they view him. As long as he believes it is right, he will do it.

It was like this before, and it is like this now...

The future will remain the same.

So, at this moment, faced with the question posed by Nuwa...

He Li calmly replied, "Yes!"

"Is that so?" Nuwa's beautiful eyes flickered, and He Li stared at the goddess Nuwa so close to him before suddenly speaking: "In later generations... the sudden appearance of spiritual energy wasn't just due to the erosion of the Middle Realm, was it?"

"Is it because you still uphold the Way of Heaven that the Way of Heaven retains some power in later generations?"

"I don't know!" Nuwa shook her head.

"But most likely, that's the case."

"The Heavenly Dao has its own ideas. The complete absence of spiritual energy in later generations for a long time may be because... the Heavenly Dao deliberately preserved its power, waiting for the final explosion."

"In addition... besides returning to the Dao to generate spiritual energy, there may be other paths for the generation of spiritual energy."

"For example, the method of creation!"

"Creation method?" He Li was stunned.

Nuwa nodded: "Yes, the creation of the new law... should give birth to some kind of energy that is beneficial to heaven and earth. I have vaguely sensed something of that before."

"But it's too ethereal to be found."

"And this path is limited, after all, creating new power will become increasingly difficult."

"It can't even be recreated."

"Therefore, even if this path is feasible, it can only serve as an auxiliary means to compensate for the inadequacy of returning to the Way of Heaven, and cannot replace the fundamental rule of returning to the Way of Heaven."

He Li remained silent upon hearing this.

Although even Nuwa herself couldn't be certain that the creation of the new law would result in the birth of more spiritual energy...

But He Li felt that this was the right thing to do.

Otherwise, the sudden interruption of the infinite cycle of spiritual energy after Ku Rong brought back the Future Law cannot be fully explained. After all, there should normally be some buffer period...

If it's interrupted directly, then the only thing that can happen is the loss of the spiritual energy supply that was originally meant to compensate for the errors in returning to the heavens...

This caused the circulation of spiritual energy to completely collapse.

At the same time, if this idea holds true...

That explains why the Ten Witches of Lingshan created a special group similar to zombies and intended to make those guys start their cultivation from scratch.

The ten witches of Mount Ling probably realized that the birth of the new law must be related to the birth of spiritual energy.

That's why I did it.

And they want to seize Nuwa's power...

Their true intention was probably to use Nuwa's creative power to further improve the "zombies" they had researched, and then try to simulate the situation of unlimited spiritual energy in the ancient times.

Unfortunately, those guys didn't realize that restoring the natural order and the new laws complemented each other.

Their plan will not succeed.

However… He Li frowned.

He always felt that since Heaven had its own ideas and knew how to accumulate power and then launch a fierce counterattack, there was no reason for Heaven to continue to repeat the same mistakes.

Now that the ancient events have already occurred...

Normally, the Heavenly Way of later generations would surely find a way to strictly enforce the principle of returning the Way to Heaven.

But what will Heaven do?

He Li couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Seeing him like this, Wa's face flashed with a hint of curiosity before she stared intently at the absent-minded He Li, as if she could read what He Li was thinking at that moment.

Sure enough, after briefly gazing at He Li, Wa withdrew her gaze and suddenly spoke, responding to his thoughts…

"That's for sure!"

"What?" He Li snapped out of his daze upon hearing this.

"The thoughts of the Heavenly Dao in future generations!" Nuwa repeated, "It is inevitable that the Heavenly Dao in future generations will strictly implement the idea of ​​returning the Dao to Heaven. As for how the Heavenly Dao in future generations will specifically do it..."

She narrowed her eyes, her tone playful: "Why don't you think about why there were three great emperors in later generations!"

Three great emperors of later generations?

He Li lowered his head in thought upon hearing this...

"Could it be?!" He was somewhat surprised and doubtful.

Nuwa nodded: "Just as you thought, you said before that you wanted to act on behalf of Heaven and strictly enforce the principle of returning the Way to Heaven... It's quite a coincidence that the Heavenly Way in later generations has generally held the same idea."

"And you, Jiang Hongxian, and that uncertain Third Emperor are the executors."

"And to prevent a repeat of the same mistake..."

"To prevent you from profiting and then leaving."

"The Heavenly Dao will be bound to you!"

"You too will coexist with the Way of Heaven!"

"This is a good thing; you will live as long as the heavens, and you will have no rivals in this world. But... the downside is that if anything unexpected happens in this world, you will also die!"

"and……"

"There's no escape!!!"
