People in Conferred Gods: Rising from humble beginnings, I am the God of Wealth

"The Sage Nuwa?!"

Haotian looked at the figure who had created the Brocade Heaven with surprise, then turned to look at Yang Xuan.

"I didn't expect you to invite this goddess who has opened the heavens..."

Haotian was filled with emotion. Now the Heavenly Realm had gained four more heavens, and four more sages were in charge.

Given the Heavenly Court's current status, the feedback it would give to him, the Heavenly Emperor, would be enough to make him sever another corpse and become a Quasi-Saint with Three Corpses!

The reason why Hongjun Daozu sent him to become the Heavenly Emperor was precisely for this opportunity.

However, even the Dao Ancestor Hongjun probably didn't expect that this opportunity would come so quickly and so greatly.

If Yang Xuan hadn't ascended to heaven, even if the prehistoric world had successfully evolved into the Three Realms, it wouldn't have ushered in the Dharma-ending Age.

The Heavenly Court will also be different from what it is now, becoming like it was in the original timeline, dominated by the Xuanmen sect, with the Heavenly Emperor Haotian practically existing in name only.

In this situation, Haotian could at most break through to the level of a Quasi-Saint with two corpses simply because the Heavenly Court resumed its autonomous operation.

It is absolutely impossible for him to sever my corpse based on his identity as the Heavenly Emperor.

But things are different now. Even if the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa take over the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Court is still dominated by the righteous gods of the Heavenly Court, rather than being an appendage of the Xuanmen (mystical sects).

As the rulers of the Heavenly Court, Haotian and the Queen Mother hold extremely high positions and receive the most benefits. They certainly have a chance to use this opportunity to sever their own corpses.

However, this also has a drawback: if the Heavenly Court declines in the future, their cultivation will also be affected, and they may even fall below the level of the Three Corpse Quasi-Saints.

Just... is this possible?
With four sages presiding over the Heavenly Court and Yang Xuan in charge of the overall situation, how could the Heavenly Court possibly decline?

Unless the primordial world is destroyed, the Heavenly Court will at most stagnate, but it is impossible for it to decline!
What Haotian didn't know was that Yang Xuan was even more surprised than him at this moment. He really didn't know why Nuwa would create the world.

Thinking back carefully, his only contact with the Goddess Nuwa was at Skull Mountain, when she sent him a telepathic message, asking him to take Nezha as his disciple.

Apart from that, Yang Xuan truly couldn't recall having any connection with this sage.

Regardless of the original timeline or any other logic, Nuwa should not have come to create the world.

But the fact is that after the Three Pure Ones, Goddess Nuwa took action and opened up another heaven for the celestial realm, increasing the original thirty-three heavens to thirty-seven.

Yang Xuan wasn't sure why Nuwa would do this. Was it because she was idle anyway, or because she saw that the Three Pure Ones had come to create the world, and she wanted to join in the fun?

But Yang Xuan had seen the image of Nuwa in the Brocade Heaven before, which immediately made him break out in a cold sweat and feel a wave of fear.

Because... isn't the appearance of the Goddess Nuwa exactly like the Old Man of the Moon in the Marriage Palace?

A rogue cultivator? What rogue cultivator is a saint?!

Back then, when Yang Xuan learned that a Great Golden Immortal had come to the Marriage Palace to serve as the Matchmaker, he thought he would go and see what kind of Matchmaker this person was capable of.

After all, he had intended to reserve the position of Matchmaker for Hu Xian'er; it was a pre-ordained divine post.

If that rogue cultivator is indeed suitable for the position of Matchmaker, then grant her a title and assign Hu Xian'er another divine position.

If that rogue cultivator from the Great Luo realm is not suitable, then Yang Xuan will have to make arrangements for a replacement.

However, due to various coincidences, Yang Xuan always missed his chance to go to the Old Man of the Moon because of other things.

Later, he discovered that this rogue cultivator was indeed very suitable for the position of matchmaker. With this matchmaker, all the affairs of the Marriage Hall became orderly and without any mistakes.

Therefore, Yang Xuan abandoned the idea of ​​making an adjustment and planned to find an opportunity to grant the matchmaker a pardon.

The other party was, after all, a Great Luo Golden Immortal who had rendered meritorious service to the Heavenly Court. He should personally bestow the title and honor, and it was inappropriate for the Temple of Fate to do it on his behalf.

But for some reason, Yang Xuan was never able to grant the title of Yue Lao.

Looking back now, isn't this just a warning to avoid misfortune and seek good fortune?

Even now, if a Quasi-Saint with two corpses were to grant a Saint a pardon, he would lose a massive amount of his fortune; it would be tantamount to courting death.

"Thank goodness, I didn't do anything stupid back then..."

After a long while, Yang Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking back now, it makes perfect sense that Nuwa, the saint, holding a red embroidered ball, wanted to take on the role of the matchmaker.

But there was one thing Yang Xuan still couldn't understand: why did the Sage Nuwa create the heavens? It couldn't just be for fun, could it?
After thinking for a while, Yang Xuan decided to go to the Magnificent Heaven of the Celestial Realm to ask Goddess Nuwa about something, since he also had some matters to discuss with her.

Therefore, Yang Xuan proposed to Haotian and the Queen Mother the idea of ​​leaving. When the two of them were also preparing to sever their corpses, they naturally had no objections.

Then, Yang Xuan took a step forward and arrived in the Splendid Heaven, appearing outside the gate of the Nuwa Palace.

"This humble god Yang Xuan requests an audience with the Goddess Nuwa!"

"come in."

With a crisp sound, the gates of the Nuwa Palace slowly opened, and Yang Xuan stepped through them, passing through a long corridor, and finally arriving at a garden.

Nuwa's benevolent form, the one dressed in a festive Taoist robe, was sitting in a pavilion, nodding to Yang Xuan.

"I've met my empress!"

Yang Xuan bowed and, as instructed by the Goddess Nuwa, sat down on the stone bench opposite her, and then...

Then I heard the female saint ask all sorts of gossipy questions, such as:
What do you think of Hu Xian'er? How did Daji perform in the Investiture of the Gods?

How did you get Bixiao to obey you? Do you have any special feelings for her?

Are you satisfied with the current image of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, the Heavenly Goddess of War? Do you have any further plans?
You are the Lord of the Sun Star, and the union of Yin and Yang is the ultimate principle. When do you plan to cultivate with December?
Yang Xuan: ...

This...this isn't right, is it? Sir...are you that bored? Why are you asking such strange questions...?

Yang Xuan wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead and, standing as an observer, answered Nuwa's questions from an objective perspective.

"Tsk! Boring!"

Nuwa pursed her lips; clearly, Yang Xuan's answers did not satisfy her gossipy nature.

But having observed Yang Xuan for so many years, she knew what kind of person he was, so she didn't delve into it further.

"Let's not talk about that anymore. I know why you're here today. Don't overthink it. No matter what, I am a Heavenly Saint."
The Three Pure Ones opened up the heavens, elevating the Heavenly Court's status and increasing its authority. I should do the same, especially since I am the Matchmaker of the Heavenly Court, and can conveniently move the Marriage Palace to the Splendid Heaven.

"It's good that you're here, which saves me the trouble of looking for you again. I wonder what the procedure is for relocating the Marriage Hall? Do I need to submit an application for you?"

Yang Xuan: ???
Huh? An application? Submit it to me?

You're a saint, for goodness sake! Even if you wanted to move the Marriage Palace out of Heaven, no one would object.

Why bother with all this procedures? Just take action! What's the point of submitting an application to me? I don't have that much influence!
Suppressing the urge to complain, Yang Xuan remained silent for a moment, then shook his head with a smile.

“Your Majesty’s move is beneficial to the Heavenly Court. I will simply issue a proclamation to inform all the gods of the Heavenly Court. Your Majesty may move whenever you wish.” “With your words, I can rest assured.”

Nuwa looked at Yang Xuan with a half-smile and made a joke.

Clearly, during the years she served as the Matchmaker as a rogue cultivator, she was subject to many of the rules of the Heavenly Court.

This made Yang Xuan feel somewhat guilty. It was truly remarkable that he could set rules to restrain a sage.

Fortunately, these rules are devoid of any personal bias and treat all the gods in Heaven equally. Judging from Nuwa's demeanor, she is unlikely to be angered by them.

Yang Xuan quickly adjusted his mindset. After learning the reason why Nuwa created the world, he did not leave. Instead, he brought up the matter of Nezha.

The suggestion from Yuanshi Tianzun was beneficial to everyone, not only giving him a way out.

This would also allow Yang Xuan to fulfill Nuwa's request and teach Nezha on her behalf, which could be considered a win-win situation.

Nuwa naturally had no reason to refuse, and immediately sent a telepathic message to the Jade Purity Heaven as requested by the Primordial Heavenly Lord.

With the reply of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, Nezha was no longer related to the Chan Sect and could join Yang Xuan's sect at any time.

Yang Xuan witnessed all of this from the side. Although his expression did not change, he felt strange.

From now on, if anyone dares to say that Yuanshi Tianzun is rigid and inflexible, I will be the first to disagree!

"Your Majesty, I have come here today with two requests."

"Oh?" Nuwa raised an eyebrow, intrigued, and asked, "Which two things are they? Tell me about them."

Yang Xuan had no habit of beating around the bush, especially when facing a sage, and said directly:

"Firstly, regarding the Netherworld, I'm sure Your Majesty has already noticed that after the Three Realms evolved from the Primordial World, the scale of the Netherworld has also greatly increased."

"However, due to the special environment of the Netherworld, very few creatures can survive normally in the Netherworld. As a result, more than 90% of the Netherworld is now a desolate place with no living beings."

"Such a situation is detrimental to the evolution of the primordial world and to the development of humanity!"

"I dare to guess that Your Majesty's path is related to the human path. If the human path always falls behind the heavenly and earthly paths, it will probably have some impact on Your Majesty's cultivation."

At this point, Yang Xuan paused slightly, feeling somewhat uneasy. These were all his guesses, and he was only about 70-80% sure.

He raised the issue of the underworld because he wanted Nuwa's help.

However, the Netherworld is a matter of the earth, while Nuwa is a sage of the Heavenly Dao. Without corresponding benefits, it is obviously unlikely that one can ask her for help.

But if Nuwa's path is related to the human path, then it's different.

What Yang Xuan wants to do is increase the population of the Netherworld, which will make the prehistoric creatures more diverse and improve the status of humanity.

If the path of the sage Nuwa is truly related to humanity, then this matter would be in Nuwa's favor, and the possibility of the sage Nuwa refusing would be smaller.

Seeing that Nuwa neither refuted nor admitted it, Yang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, which at least proved that his guess was correct, and continued:

"After years of deduction, Little Nerve has come up with an idea: since the environment of the Netherworld cannot be changed, why not try to change the bloodline of the primordial beings so that they can live and cultivate normally in the Netherworld?"

"Taking this as a starting point, I asked my fellow Daoists from the Dragon Clan for assistance and conducted a series of experiments. Ultimately, we concluded that this was feasible!"

"After the reversal of Yin and Yang and the alteration of bloodlines, the aquatic creatures that originally lived in the four seas can now live normally in the River of Oblivion."

After switching to Yin-attribute cultivation techniques, one can further refine and utilize the absolute Yin death energy to enhance their cultivation level.

"But if the Netherworld is to have enough living beings to prosper like the Primordial World, relying solely on individual strength is somewhat insufficient."

"Therefore, the little god asked the goddess Houtu for help and created a formation called the Yin-Yang Reversal Dragon Gate Formation."

"This formation can draw upon a portion of the power of the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc, achieving a reversal of Yin and Yang, allowing primordial beings to adapt to life in the Netherworld."

"But this only allows the creatures of the prehistoric world to adapt to life in the Netherworld and not be rejected. If we want them to be able to cultivate normally, we still need a key step."

At this point, Yang Xuan bowed to the Goddess Nuwa and said in a deep voice:

"I have come here today to borrow Your Majesty's Qiankun Cauldron to draw upon the power of creation to complete this final step!"

To be honest, Yang Xuan is feeling quite uneasy right now.

In terms of destructive power, the Qiankun Cauldron is nothing special, but it is said to be able to transform acquired energy into innate energy, making it one of the most mysterious spiritual treasures in the primordial world.

If Nuwa were to lend the Qiankun Cauldron to the Netherworld, she might not be willing.

But the result was far beyond Yang Xuan's expectations. After listening to Yang Xuan's description, Nuwa smiled and nodded.

"It's excellent that you value human development and the evolution of nature so much!"

"Since this action is beneficial to humanity and to the primordial world, I have no reason to refuse it."

As she spoke, Nuwa gently waved her sleeve, and the space in front of her rippled like water, and a small, ancient-looking cauldron appeared out of thin air and landed in Yang Xuan's hand.

This is the supreme innate spiritual treasure—the Qiankun Cauldron!

"Your Majesty has mercy!"

Yang Xuan was overjoyed. With the Qiankun Cauldron, he could set up the Yin-Yang Reversal Dragon Gate Formation in the Netherworld to achieve the reversal of Yin and Yang and the transformation of bloodlines.

This allows dragons, phoenixes, and aquatic creatures to change their bloodlines and adapt to the environment of the Netherworld.

This move will not only make the Netherworld more prosperous, but also make the prehistoric creatures more diverse, which is a good thing for both the underworld and the human world.

If this matter is implemented, perhaps when the Yin-Yang Reversal Dragon Gate Formation is set up, a large amount of merit from the earth and humanity will descend.

Even Yang Xuan believed that the more merit one could accumulate, the better.

Although severing a corpse was not too difficult for Yang Xuan and did not require merit, merit was indispensable if he wanted to prove the Dao and become a saint.

The more merit you gain now, the greater your chances of attaining enlightenment and sainthood in the future.

Furthermore, accomplishing this would also greatly benefit Nuwa, as it would create a karmic connection between Yang Xuan and Nuwa, giving him another trump card.

Originally, thanks to Yang Xuan's years of hard work, he was only one step away from setting up the Yin-Yang Reversal Dragon Gate Formation. Everything was ready except for the Qiankun Cauldron.

Now that the Qiankun Cauldron is in hand, all that is needed is to return to the Netherworld to accomplish this great feat; there will be no unexpected events.

But Yang Xuan was not in a hurry to leave. He had been preparing for this for so many years, so there was no need to rush.

He has one last thing to do today: to invite the Sage Nuwa to join the divine path and be listed as a deity like the Three Pure Ones.

Although Yang Xuan didn't know the specific reason, he had a feeling that Nuwa seemed to have a good impression of him, and considering the matter of the Yin-Yang Reversal Dragon Gate Formation, perhaps there really was hope! (End of Chapter)
