Chapter 16, The Final Bow: Repaying the Grace of Creation

Chu Feng exerted his strength and killed Donghuang. Donghuang, in his true form, was then devoured by the human race.

This further enraged Nuwa.

The myriad races of the primordial world were utterly astonished!

"Donghuang was really killed?" The Quasi-Saints could no longer sit still.

As one of the Heavenly Court's top combatants, Donghuang was beheaded and even devoured, with his feathers being used as wedding gowns for the human race.

Despite Nuwa's fury, Chu Feng remained unmoved and composed.

He was just a little surprised. Killing Donghuang hadn't even upgraded the territory. How much energy would be needed next?

After only a moment's thought, Chu Feng came to his senses.

He pursed his lips, looked at Nuwa, and sneered, "Come on? Keep going."

Standing proudly before the sages with an invincible demeanor, Chu Feng impressed the powerful beings among the myriad races of the prehistoric world with his audacious and arrogant behavior!

Nuwa unleashed her power once more, this time even more terrifying than before. The earth beneath her feet was annihilated, revealing a desolation from antiquity.

At this moment, it was as if time had reversed, returning to a time before the primordial chaos of the universe. A terrifying ancient aura swept over us, and a chilling pressure permeated the air.

With a loud boom, Nuwa unleashed her power once more.

This time, however, Chu Feng no longer dodged. The moment that force rushed into his territory, he instantly neutralized it.

His posture was extremely relaxed, with no pressure whatsoever.

Seeing that Chu Feng easily deflected her fierce attack, Nuwa stopped attacking. She realized that Chu Feng was far stronger than her.

Perhaps he truly surpasses even saints?

After a soft murmur, Nuwa floated in mid-air, sculpting mountains and rivers with a wave of her hand, breathing forth life, and displaying the power of a sage once more.

A tiny figure materialized in her palm, questioning, "I created humanity, just like the little figure in my palm. You were born in the same way, and my blood flows in your veins. Do you truly intend to lead three thousand humans in rebellion against me?"

At this moment, the little figure in Nuwa's hand had already taken shape, but it vanished in the blink of an eye.

She was not infused with the blood of a saint; she was merely a form without a heart, unable to endure, like a fleeting flower, gone in an instant.

Hearing Nuwa's question, Chu Feng sneered, "What a fine mother! My human race does indeed have your blood flowing in its veins, and my human race does indeed worship and love you as a mother. But when my human race was slaughtered, when my human race knelt on the ground begging for our mother's protection, where were you?"

Every word was like a dagger, piercing to the heart. At this moment, the Divine Firmament descended upon the world, illuminating the area where the human race resided, making it extremely dazzling.

Nuwa stared into Chu Feng's eyes, squinting, without saying a word.

Her face turned ashen. She had already abandoned her saintly demeanor, yet Chu Feng was showing her no respect at all? Let's uncover his past!

At the summit of Mount Kongtong, three thousand humans listened to Chu Feng's words and couldn't help but burst into tears.

Once, they worshipped the Holy Mother, praying that she would bless humanity with good weather and abundant harvests. Later, when humanity was slaughtered by liches, they prayed for the Holy Mother to descend and save humanity.

However, all the prayers and sacrifices were in vain. Hundreds of thousands of humans were almost completely slaughtered, and many close friends and relatives died in vain, and the warmth of the past was gone forever.

In the distance, Chu Feng stared into Nuwa's eyes, which were filled with Daoist wisdom, and questioned, "Was it the Dao Ancestor who blocked our path? Or was it the Sage who advised us? Have you ever listened to the suffering of humanity?!"

Nuwa remained silent.

However, Chu Feng's words were even more incisive. He shouted, "Even now, there are still humans who can't believe that their creator mother would stand idly by while her children were slaughtered by the liches." Chu Feng stretched out his hand, pointed at the humans on the summit of Mount Kongtong, and questioned Nuwa, saying, "Look at the grief and despair in their eyes. They are just a group of orphans abandoned by their mother."

Nuwa glanced sideways at the top of Mount Kongtong, then looked at Chu Feng, remaining silent.

All the races of the primordial world watched in awe, and fell silent for a moment.

During this time, a few quasi-saints murmured, "The Goddess Nuwa was originally a demon, and she created the human race in order to become a saint. No matter what that person says, what can he do?"

"Nuwa was a sage. From ancient times to the present, all those below sages have been mere ants. How could they possibly understand the suffering of humanity?"

They looked at the three thousand humans who were already weeping bitterly, and found it difficult to empathize with them, because they, who had been familiar with the laws since childhood, could not empathize with the weak.

It didn't work before, it doesn't work now, and it will definitely not work in the future.

"The weak are weak. In this ancient world, with all the races vying for power, who isn't walking on thin ice? To even dare to beg for the protection of the Goddess Nuwa is utterly laughable!"

"Why haven't you looked for the reasons within yourself all these years? If you had worked hard enough, how could you have ended up in this situation today?"

Some of the demon race's quasi-saints also sneered.

At this very moment—

The three thousand people wept uncontrollably.

They recalled the despair of being slaughtered by the lich, the helplessness in the face of the executioner's blade, and the fear that had been suppressed for many years finally erupted.

Chu Feng stared at Nuwa, his eyes icy cold: "This is the human race? Weak and powerless. If you were truly willing to lend a hand, even just uttering a single word, why would the human race be in this state?"

He turned and looked at the three thousand humans.

Then, he took a deep breath, summoning divine sound. Looking at Nuwa, he bowed deeply and whispered, "Holy Mother."

At this moment, the expressions of the powerful figures from all races changed noticeably, becoming filled with doubt and bewilderment.

Previously, Chu Feng had never bowed to Nuwa and had always acted extremely domineering. Why is he suddenly bowing to Nuwa now?

Is he about to back down?

Nuwa was taken aback.

They didn't know what kind of trouble Chu Feng was up to, but they felt vaguely uneasy.

At this moment, Chu Feng straightened up and said loudly, "This is the last bow, to repay your kindness in creating me."

"The last bow? What does that mean?" Nuwa's unease grew stronger.

Chu Feng said coldly, "From now on, the human race will no longer worship the Holy Mother."

These words shocked all races, and even the Saint of Slaughter stood up abruptly.

Just then, after their initial shock, the three thousand humans hardened their gazes, bowed deeply to Nuwa, and proclaimed, "Greetings, Holy Mother. From this day forward, humanity will no longer worship the Holy Mother."

Even in front of the statue of Nuwa, some people were holding up huge stone hammers. After kneeling and bowing, they stood up and their eyes gradually became firm.

Then, in front of all the ancient races, he pulled the stone hammer, and the sculpture was smashed and collapsed with a crash!

The sculpture shattered into pieces in an instant, and huge rocks crashed to the ground, causing the Kongtong Mountains to tremble.

At that moment, an unusual phenomenon occurred.

This is not a strange phenomenon caused by Nuwa or Chu Feng, but a strange phenomenon indicating that the position of the sage is in jeopardy.

An aura of destruction appeared in the sky, as if the end of the world was about to come. It was dark and gloomy, with black lightning flashing and bursting.

In the distance, a huge, irregular crack appeared in the sky, filled with an aura that seemed to annihilate all heavens, which was rapidly spreading.

Chu Feng looked up, puzzled, but soon he understood.

Humanity no longer worships Nuwa, and she thus became a saint. Now, the karma has come to pass, and her saintly position is in grave danger!

Not only Chu Feng, but other sages also felt it, but the one who was shocked and terrified was undoubtedly Nuwa herself.

Because she achieved sainthood by helping the human race, she knew all too well the consequences that the human race's separation would have on her!
