Primordial Era: From the Creation Lotus to the First Disciple of the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 124 Nuwa Asks About Martial Arts (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Qinglian bowed deeply once again, her expression respectful.

He then proceeded to clearly and systematically explain the current predicament faced by the human race on the shores of the East Sea—the management chaos, ethical ambiguity, resource allocation difficulties brought about by the explosive population growth, and the potential for internal friction arising from this.

His tone was calm and soothing, yet with precise descriptions and a profound understanding of cause and effect, he vividly explained the seriousness, complexity, and urgency of the problem if it were not resolved, as if a magnificent yet turbulent scroll was slowly unfolding before the Goddess Nuwa.

Then, he put forward his fundamental solution after careful consideration and several deductions: "In my humble opinion, to fundamentally resolve this predicament, it is not enough to make minor repairs; we need to establish ethics and norms for the human race, set up rules and regulations, and reshape order and clarify the rules."

First and foremost, marriage rites should be established so that the union of men and women in the tribe is governed by rules and regulations, and announced to the tribe so that future generations can know both their mother and father, ensuring the orderly continuation of bloodlines. With the family as the foundation of society and the foundation of human relations solidified, internal chaos within the tribe can be reduced by more than half.

Next, it is necessary to emulate the principles of the division of heaven and earth and the movement of stars to establish a hierarchical system:

Surnames are the primary origin of tribal alliances, marking the oldest bloodline;

Important branches of a lineage that uses "氏" as a surname, or titles obtained for meritorious service;

The surname is used as the clan name, and the clan name is used as the specific household name. Surname, clan name, and given name are clearly defined, with each level having its own jurisdiction and clear affiliation. Based on the current situation, the existing human race is proposed to be divided into nine major tribal alliances, selecting those of high moral character and outstanding achievements, whose strength has reached the peak of the Martial Soul Realm, as tribal leaders to govern their respective regions.

Each major tribe has several secondary first-level branches under its jurisdiction, which are managed by martial arts realm experts as branch masters.

The branch is further subdivided into many basic family units, each headed by a Dan Jin or Gang Jin martial artist with solid cultivation and upright character.

In this way, with clear priorities, well-defined responsibilities, and a natural order established, management efficiency will undoubtedly increase significantly.

After speaking, Qinglian flipped her hand, and the emerald green Creation Whip, imbued with the vast and boundless fortune and merit of the human race, appeared in her palm, radiating a gentle yet majestic light that was closely linked to the rise and fall of the human race.

He solemnly held up the Creation Whip with both hands, his expression solemn and respectful, and said, "This is a sacred artifact created by the Goddess, which is related to the fundamental destiny of the human race."

"Now that change is imminent, concerning the very foundation of our race's destiny and potentially impacting the future of billions, although I have earned Your Majesty's trust, I dare not act arbitrarily. Therefore, I have come to report to Your Majesty and request Your Majesty's divine will to decide. I will humbly obey Your Majesty's decree."

He then added a statement, speaking frankly: "Furthermore, in order to help the human race to become strong and independent in this treacherous and dangerous world where countless races coexist, and to possess the power to protect themselves."

"Having observed the profound mysteries of his innate Dao body and combined it with some insights gained from his travels through the prehistoric world, the disciple has created a cultivation system for the human race that focuses on tapping into one's own life potential, forging one's physique, condensing one's Qi and blood, tempering one's will, and does not rely on external means. This system is called the Martial Way."

This path is difficult, but it emphasizes foundation and character. Currently, those with resolute character, excellent aptitude, and loyalty to their race are being carefully selected for instruction. This has already yielded considerable results among humans, with many warriors emerging and combat strength gradually increasing. Only then, under the pressure of this population explosion, has order been temporarily maintained, and external demonic beasts dare not easily invade.

Nuwa listened quietly, her holy and flawless face calm and undisturbed. Only in her eyes, which contained endless mysteries of creation and seemed capable of giving rise to the vast world, did she see a flicker of approval, deep thought, and a hint of barely perceptible amazement.

After Qinglian finished speaking, she slowly opened her mouth, her voice ethereal and kind, carrying a comforting power: "Excellent. Nephew Qinglian, your thoughts and actions are far-sighted and deeply understand the true meaning of creation. You are not merely giving people fish to solve their immediate predicament, but teaching them how to fish, and even establishing an unbreakable foundation for humankind for all eternity. This is a great merit and a great act of kindness. I am very pleased."

Her gaze swept over the Creation Whip, which floated in the palm of Qinglian's hand and was surrounded by aura, but she did not take it.

Instead, she extended her jade-like fingers and gently pushed, causing a gentle yet irresistible holy power to return the whip to Qinglian's hand. The connection between their auras became even stronger: "Now that this whip has been given to you, there is no need to return it."

It is inextricably linked to you and the destiny of humanity. Holding it will help you implement new policies, regulate the flow of fortune, suppress evil, and protect humanity. I believe you can use it wisely and with discretion.

As soon as she finished speaking, the Empress flicked her finger again, and a stream of light containing the laws of marriage, bright red and joyful, flew towards Qinglian.

Before him, it transformed into an embroidered ball adorned with mandarin ducks playing in the water and twin lotus blossoms, surrounded by red light and exuding a strong aura of marriage that seemed to stir the emotions of all things—it was the innate spiritual treasure, the origin of all marriages in the world, the Red Embroidered Ball.

"Since we are to establish proper human relations and conduct a proper marriage, this red embroidered ball will be temporarily entrusted to you."

The goddess Nuwa's sacred voice is ethereal, "It contains the power of the Great Dao of Marriage, which can help you sense the heavens and earth and establish the rites of marriage for the human race." This will regulate marriage, making human marriage orderly, ensuring the prosperity of bloodlines, the stability of families, and the establishment of ethical norms.

If this matter succeeds, it will be in accordance with human ethics and the natural order, and will be an act of immeasurable merit.

Then, the goddess's gentle yet immensely powerful light fell upon the three ancestors who had been prostrate on the ground, trembling with excitement and not daring to raise their heads, as if listening to a divine decree. Her tone carried a rare gentleness and praise: "Suiren, Ziyi, and Youchao, for the survival and reproduction of the human race, you brought light and warmth by drilling wood to make fire, you wove cloth to make clothes to cover your bodies, avoid shame and keep warm, and you built nests and houses to live in peace and protection. Your merits will last for thousands of years and your virtues will benefit all generations. You have long been recognized by the heavens for your merits."

Now, you have seen through the difficulties facing the development of our race and dared to seek change, coming to report this to me. I am very pleased. You are all role models and pioneers for humanity. In the future, you must also do your utmost to assist Qinglian in carrying out this matter, so that humanity may be reborn.”

When the Holy Mother praised them personally and mentioned their past achievements, the Third Patriarch was so moved that he trembled violently and tears welled up in his eyes. He could only kowtow repeatedly, his voice choked with emotion, barely able to form a sentence: "We will obey Your Majesty's decree! We will certainly not fail Your Majesty's high expectations!"

"I am willing to give my life for my people!"

At this moment, the Goddess Nuwa developed a strong interest in the "martial arts" system created by Qinglian, which was completely different from the paths of immortals, demons, witches, and monsters. She had become a Great Saint, indestructible through countless eons, and her understanding of creation, life, and the way of creation had reached its peak. However, she found this unique system, which focused on exploring the divine treasures within one's own body, pursuing the ultimate power purely through qi, blood, and will, and intending to prove the Dao through force, quite novel. It even subtly touched a certain string in her understanding of "life potential."

"Nephew Qinglian, please explain to me in detail the concepts, levels, and key points of the martial arts you created." The Empress's voice carried a hint of inquiry.
