72: Zhang Nuwa: Watch me fool you!

At Mount Sumeru, the Demon Lord of Creation did not hesitate and remained within the Immortal Cave.

Inside the Immortal Cave, it felt somewhat empty as the Innate Sacred Beings departed one after another.

Nuwa looked puzzled; why was she being kept here?

That's right, the current Demon Lord of Creation was Nuwa's true form.

After all, she had severely offended the Three Pure Ones before, and now she was somewhat afraid to return.

Fuxi had already secretly sent her a message saying that the Three Pure Ones had blockaded her Dao field. Since they were camping at her doorstep, wouldn't she be seeking death if she went back?

In a one-on-one, she wouldn't fear any of them, but in a one-on-three, Nuwa admitted she truly lacked the strength.

Against the combined forces of the Three Pure Ones, she stood no chance at all.

Staying at Mount Sumeru was the safest place for Nuwa.

Rahu looked at Nuwa with a distant gaze and smiled faintly:

"You are quite familiar with the Three Pure Ones, right? Your relationship was decent before—at least a good one between Fellow Daoists."

"Then I shall give you a task. How about pulling the Three Pure Ones into the Demonic Path?"

Nuwa's eyes widened, showing a hint of disbelief.

Was this a joke? Their previous relationship wasn't exactly good, but it wasn't bad either.

It was different now. If they met, it would be a wonder if the Three Pure Ones didn't beat her to death.

Indeed, not just severely wounding her, but literally beating her to death.

Killing an Innate Sacred Being would result in being entangled in Karma, and since Innate Sacred Beings are immortal and indestructible, they would simply remain dormant for a while before returning.

In the Primordial World, most Innate Sacred Beings would not choose to completely kill their opponents.

Instead, they would suppress them or refine them into Innate Spirit Treasures, keeping them in an immortal and indestructible state.

Having been tricked by her once, the Three Pure Ones might not fear anything now.

After all, they possessed the Karma of Creation, and it wasn't as if they couldn't afford the loss.

"Lord Demon Ancestor, you're talking about the past, but things are different now."

"You know about the previous conflict. If I try to recruit them, I'm afraid it will backfire."

Nuwa's voice trembled slightly. She truly didn't want to provoke the Three Pure Ones now; she was simply no match for them.

Rahu rolled his eyes. What was her hurry?

Pulling the Three Pure Ones into the Demonic Path didn't mean Nuwa would go empty-handed.

It would be more appropriate to bring something along.

Without hesitation, three black lotus seeds appeared in Rahu's hand as he said in a deep voice:

"What are you afraid of? Nuwa, you understand us Innate Sacred Beings too little."

"If you bring enough, the Three Pure Ones won't just refrain from attacking you; they will welcome you with smiles."

"These are seeds of the world-destroying black lotus. Both the Creation Green Lotus and the world-destroying black lotus were transformed from the seeds of the Chaos Green Lotus. These will be of great use to the Three Pure Ones' Magic Treasures."

"I'm not sending you empty-handed. Just take these out first, then tell the Three Pure Ones with a look of grievance that you did everything just for these items."

He looked at Nuwa; this fellow was usually quite capable.

She had even tricked the Three Pure Ones before, so why was she lacking such simple tactics now?

Nuwa fell into thought, and then her eyes lit up.

True, given the nature of the Three Pure Ones, they might be suspicious, but since the treasures were being presented, they couldn't possibly disbelieve her entirely.

As long as she acted pitiable enough, it was entirely possible to succeed.

Nuwa took a step forward and rushed toward her own Dao field.

In the Primordial World, not far from Mount Zhou, there was a divine mountain named Phoenix Perch Mountain.

Outside Fengqi, the Three Pure Ones and their group were stationed, with three Innate Spirit Treasures forming a terrifying barrier that enveloped the entire divine mountain.

Fuxi's face was filled with bitterness; what should he do now?

If these three attacked forcefully, he wouldn't be able to stop them.

Even if they didn't attack and just surrounded the place, preventing Fuxi from leaving, it was still quite distressing for him.

"Sigh, Nuwa, you'd better not come back. I'm really afraid you'll be beaten to death if you do."

Fuxi sighed.

Just then, a ripple in space occurred outside Phoenix Perch Mountain, and the aura of the Great Dao of Creation leaked from the Void Realm.

Nuwa's figure manifested, showing a faint smile.

"Kill!"

In an instant, the Three Pure Ones joined forces, directly recalling those few Innate Spirit Treasures and unleashing a terrifying strike.

Within the Void Realm, the power of the Dao roared, and a mysterious force erupted from Nuwa's body.

"Freeze!"

As she spoke, the combined strike of the Three Pure Ones was easily frozen in place.

With a calm expression, Nuwa approached the Three Pure Ones and burst into tears.

"Wuwu, three Senior Brothers, I have suffered so much!"

"What happened before was indeed my fault. Please hit me; beat me to death."

"But before you kill me, let me first give you the treasures I worked so hard to find for you."

Saying this, three black lotus seeds appeared in Nuwa's hand—the very seeds of the world-destroying black lotus.

Sensing the aura of the world-destroying black lotus's Origin, the Magic Treasures in the hands of the Three Pure Ones, which were transformed from the Creation Green Lotus, seemed to resonate and trembled slightly.

"Senior Brothers, alright, I have brought these out. Go ahead and strike. Your Junior Sister indeed offended you before, and I will spare no effort to seek your forgiveness."

Nuwa looked as if she were ready for a heroic death, but Tongtian fell silent.

The seeds of the world-destroying black lotus were incredibly precious; even their teacher couldn't obtain them for them.

Since Nuwa could get this from the Demon Ancestor, could there really be some hidden story?

Thinking of this, he frowned slightly and pondered for a moment before saying:

"Nuwa, what do you mean by this? You've already become the Demonic Path's Demon Lord of Creation. Is there really some hidden truth?"

As soon as he said this, Nuwa knew that more than half of the plan had succeeded.

Nuwa feigned a look of grievance and said to the Three Pure Ones:

"Three Senior Brothers, you might not know, but though your Junior Sister is in the Demonic Path, my heart belongs to the Immortal Path."

"Everything I've done was merely to swindle resources and Luck from the Demonic Path to fulfill our Immortal Path."

"That previous act was because I heard that the seeds of the world-destroying black lotus had matured."

"Thinking that my Senior Brothers' Magic Treasures were transformed from the remains of the Creation Green Lotus, which, like the world-destroying black lotus, were Magic Treasures born from the seeds of the Chaos Green Lotus..."

"...I did not hesitate to tarnish my own reputation to obtain the seeds of the world-destroying black lotus for you all."

"And as soon as that despicable and shameless Rahu bestowed the seeds, I came to ask for your forgiveness."

Upon hearing this, a hint of suspicion appeared on Tongtian's face, yet he could find no evidence to the contrary.

At this point, Nuwa shifted the topic and continued:

"By the way, three Senior Brothers, I have another important piece of news to share with you."

"The Demon Ancestor intends to resurrect the Chaos Demon Gods and sacrifice them to the great dao of heaven and earth."

"This act will bring great Karma."

"We and the Demonic Path are irreconcilable. Should we go and sabotage it?"

Upon hearing about the resurrection of the Chaos Demon Gods, the Grand Supreme Elder Lord's gaze became sharp.

Such a matter was of immense significance.

"Is this true? Where will they be resurrected, and how can we witness it?"

Nuwa lowered her head, a smile tugging at the corner of her mouth. The Three Pure Ones would definitely pay attention to the Chaos Demon Gods. Since they were listening, it would now depend on how she fooled them.

"Senior Brother Taishang, you truly care for all living beings! The orthodox lineage of pangu is indeed well-deserved; you truly are a worthy disciple of our teacher. The Primordial World is fortunate to have you."

Following that, Nuwa began a flurry of flattery. Innate Sacred Beings weren't truly devoid of emotion, after all; who wouldn't want to hear praise and kind words?
