Chapter 504: The Speaker of the Human Race

"Power of belief…"

"Who is worshiping me…"

A hint of confusion arose in the woman’s eyes.

She had lost track of how many years it had been since she last received the power of belief.

It seemed that ever since her brother Tongtian shattered the Primordial World, causing it to explode into the universe, no living beings had believed in her.

No, there were some, but they were very weak and appeared only occasionally.

However, the "intense" power of belief she was experiencing today was the first she had felt since the explosion of the Primordial World.

At this moment, the woman’s gaze was profoundly deep.

Her eyes pierced through the chaos, looking outward.

A massive formation firmly sealed off all the space around her.

The power of the formation was so strong that it suppressed her, rendering her unable to move.

"Teacher, you made me take the Falling Saint Pill and imprisoned me here. I wonder if you have replaced the Heavenly Dao?"

The woman murmured softly to herself.

"Tongtian, I wonder if you are still alive…"

"And dear sister Houtu, what is your situation after the explosion of the Primordial World?"

After murmuring to herself for a moment, the woman closed her eyes again.

She could feel that the formation’s suppression on her had not weakened at all.

If she exerted her full strength, the formation would not be able to hold her for long, but since she had taken the Falling Saint Pill, if she dared to break the formation and leave this place, the pill would immediately trigger, causing her to fall from her saint position.

The Falling Saint Pill was a Golden Core refined by Hongjun using Pangu’s blood essence; it specifically targeted saints who achieved enlightenment by slaying their three corpses.

As long as one consumed the Falling Saint Pill and then made a vow, if they broke that vow, the pill would immediately take effect, causing the saint to fall from their position.

Its principle was simple: those who slay their three corpses cut off their own obsessions.

The Falling Saint Pill specifically targeted such obsessions.

If a vow was broken, under the effect of the Falling Saint Pill, the three corpses would disintegrate, leading to the saint’s fall.

Thus, at this moment, even if Nuwa wanted to leave, she could not.

As long as she tried to escape, she would fall from her saint position.

And falling from her saint position in the chaos was undoubtedly a path to self-destruction.

……

In the Kunlun Realm,

Human Race, Nuwa Holy Realm.

Upon discovering the anomalies at the altar, a surprising thought emerged in the minds of all living beings.

That is, the saint Nuwa might not be dead after all.

Just when everyone was extremely shocked, Li Xiaojun also arrived in the Kunlun Realm.

His daughter had just sent him a message about the changes in the Kunlun Realm, so he naturally wanted to see what was happening.

Upon seeing the soaring light from the altar, Li Xiaojun was also astonished.

A thought crossed his mind that Nuwa might still be alive.

"Yan Qingling, who taught you this ancestral ceremony?" Li Xiaojun asked Yan Qingling.

Hearing Li Xiaojun’s question, Yan Qingling sent him a jade slip directly. "I found this in the ancient archives of the Human Race in the Kunlun Realm. Dad, just take a look."

After hearing Yan Qingling’s words, Li Xiaojun took out the jade slip and examined it.

He discovered that it detailed an ancient Human Race worship ritual dedicated to the great goddess Nuwa and their ancestors.

This ritual had a complicated process and required many preparations.

For example, building the altar had many specific requirements.

After seeing the jade slip, Li Xiaojun finally understood why such a situation could arise during an ancestral ceremony.

However, this likely also indicated that the saint Nuwa had not fallen but was still alive.

Representatives from other races quickly came to the same conclusion.

The Immortal Tribes were, of course, overjoyed.

Because Nuwa was not only the ancestral saint of the Human Race but also a saint of the beast tribe.

Moreover, Nuwa had originally been part of the beast tribe.

Only the representative from the demon tribe remained expressionless upon realizing that Nuwa was still alive.

The demon tribe and the Immortal Tribes were natural enemies.

If Nuwa was alive, it would not bode well for the demon tribe and could potentially lead to a great disaster at some future point.

As long as Nuwa lived long enough, she could very well discover the world formed from the fragments of the primordial continent in the Kunlun Realm.

If Nuwa appeared in the Kunlun Realm, who knew what her attitude towards the demon tribe would be—whether she would hunt down all their kind.

A saint was far too powerful for the demon tribe.

Even if all the demons were Da Luo Golden Immortals, it would not be enough to withstand a saint.

To a saint, Da Luo Golden Immortals were no different from ants.

The Human Race paid no mind to how the various tribes thought.

After worshiping the saint Nuwa, Yan Qingling began to perform the worship ritual for the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

However, while worshiping the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the radiant light that had appeared during the worship of Nuwa did not occur.

Even when Yan Qingling brought out the corpse of a Golden Immortal from the Galaxy Demon Tribe, it had no effect.

…

Overall, Yan Qingling’s purpose in holding the ancestral ceremony was fully achieved.

First, the Human Race learned about the existence of Yan Qingling, a Da Luo powerhouse.

Yan Qingling’s presence acted as a stabilizing force for the Human Race; as long as she remained alive, the Human Race in the Kunlun Realm could always stand alongside the Dragon and Phoenix Tribes.

Then, this ancestral ceremony allowed representatives from all tribes to witness Yan Qingling’s strength.

Not only were all the Da Luo from the Immortal Tribes polite to Yan Qingling, but even the demon tribe was submissive in her presence.

Of course, the most unexpected event occurred during the worship of the saint Nuwa.

This situation would likely be a topic of great interest among the beings in the Kunlun Realm for a long time.

After the ancestral ceremony concluded, many tribes stayed behind to build connections with the Human Race.

The rise of the Human Race was already unstoppable, so fostering good relations with them was essential.

Only the demon tribe chose to leave immediately after the Human Race’s ceremony ended.

However, after the demon tribe departed, representatives from the Immortal Tribes also gradually left the Human Race in the following months.

This time, apart from Yan Qingling, the most notable figure among the Human Race was an immortal named Jiang Loqiu.

Jiang Loqiu was at the late stage of the Heavenly Immortal realm, making her an inconspicuous presence among the various tribes.

However, in the Human Race of the Kunlun Realm, she was appointed by Yan Qingling as the spokesperson for the Human Race.

In front of the upper echelons of the Human Race and representatives from other tribes, Yan Qingling clearly stated that Jiang Loqiu would be the spokesperson for the Human Race from now on.

Jiang Loqiu could fully represent Yan Qingling; what Jiang Loqiu said would be as if Yan Qingling herself had said it, and Jiang Loqiu’s will would represent Yan Qingling’s will.

Therefore, with Yan Qingling strongly supporting Jiang Loqiu, despite her being just at the Heavenly Immortal realm, both the upper echelons of the Human Race and representatives from other tribes treated Jiang Loqiu with great respect.

The reason Yan Qingling chose Jiang Loqiu as the spokesperson was mainly due to Jiang Loqiu’s capabilities.

Although she lacked strength, among all of Li Xiaojun’s children, Jiang Loqiu was the most influential after some of Li Xiaojun’s biological daughters.

Especially among the tens of thousands of human immortals from the Holy Goya Alliance, her prestige was even higher than that of Li Bai.

Moreover, most of Li Xiaojun’s children who developed in the Kunlun Realm came from within that group of tens of thousands.

So in the Kunlun Realm, what Jiang Loqiu said would at least be heard by Li Xiaojun’s children.

For example, He Qingqing, even though her cultivation level had already broken through to True Immortal, still respectfully called Jiang Loqiu "Sister Loqiu."

This was mainly because, when Li Xiaojun left the Cultivation Alliance to search for Earth, he had over thirty thousand children.

After these children were born, Li Xiaojun didn’t take care of them.

For many years afterwards, Jiang Loqiu, being one of the oldest, had always taken on the role of caring for her younger siblings.

That is why Jiang Loqiu held such high prestige in the hearts of Li Xiaojun’s children.

Jiang Loqiu did not refuse Yan Qingling’s appointment as the spokesperson for the Human Race.

Because she truly wanted to utilize the Kunlun Realm to secure more resources for her younger siblings.

Only by becoming the spokesperson for the Human Race could she gain more authority and power.
