Houtu is infatuated with me, so I made her lean against the wall.

The Imperial City of the Human Race.

Even though more than 50,000 years have passed, the girl is still the size of a five or six-year-old human child.

The playmates who used to play with her have come and gone, making the girl increasingly depressed.

In addition, she has been having nightmares lately.

In the dream, Shennong's body grew weaker and weaker, like an old man in the human race who was terminally ill and about to die, his whole body filled with death energy.

Each time she was awakened by this nightmare, the girl's longing for Shennong grew stronger.

However, no matter how she inquired with those great sages of the human race, they always comforted her, telling her that Shennong was the common ruler of the human race, with powerful cultivation and the protection of human destiny, so nothing would happen to him.

At first, the girl chose to believe.

But as time went by, the girl gradually began to doubt these explanations.

Although her mental capacity is only that of a human child, that doesn't mean she's stupid.

However, each time she secretly slipped out of the imperial city, she wanted to go alone to find Shennong's whereabouts.

But each time, she was discovered by a great human sage and brought back.

This situation left the girl feeling extremely helpless.

On this day, the girl sat bored on the city wall of the imperial city, resting her chin on her hands and gazing at the mountains that covered the human imperial city.

She was pondering where Shennong was and why, after so many years, he still hadn't come to see her.

Just then, an old man with an air of otherworldly wisdom arrived on a cloud and went straight to the girl:

"Are you the girl?"

Upon hearing this, the little girl looked at the old man curiously:

"Grandpa, how do you know me?"

The old man stroked his beard:

"Naturally, it was your father who told this to me."

The girl's eyes lit up:

Do you know my father?

"How is Father's health?"

"Why hasn't he come back after all these years?"

"Are you not going to have a girl anymore?"

As she finished speaking, the little girl was on the verge of tears, her big eyes quickly filling with moisture.

Seeing this, the old man shook his head and comforted him:

"Your father is a great hero of the human race. For the sake of humanity, he voluntarily allowed many pathogenic diseases to enter his body, and now he is on the verge of death."

"I am here today to fulfill your father's request and to take you to see him one last time."

Upon hearing this, the girl burst into tears.

"What?"

"Grandpa, please tell me quickly, where is my father?"

The old man extended his hand:

"Pull me along, and I'll take you to see your father."

Without the slightest hesitation, the girl reached out and took the old man's aged hand.

Upon seeing this, a hint of hidden surprise appeared in the old man's eyes.

The human imperial city is permeated with the aura of humanity.

Although he was formed from the origin of the Heavenly Dao, if he were to approach the human imperial city rashly, it could very likely arouse the vigilance of humanity.

This is also the main reason why he arrived in the human race long ago, but did not immediately enter the human race's imperial city.

Now, with the girl holding his hand, he can bypass the blockade of human destiny and take the girl away from the imperial city.

The moment the Heavenly Dao clone touched the girl's hand, it pulled her into the auspicious clouds.

Then, unable to wait any longer, he rode the clouds and sped towards the coast of the East China Sea.

Before long, they arrived at the shore of the East China Sea. The Heavenly Dao clone suddenly pretended to be weak and fell from the sky.

He then collapsed to the ground.

This scene startled the little girl:

"Grandpa, what's wrong?"

The Heavenly Dao clone, weakened, said:

"Alas, I'm too old and useless!"

"Because I wanted to get you to see your father as soon as possible, I overused my magic power to speed things up."

"Don't worry, I'm fine. I'll be alright after a short rest."

"Girl, your father is on an island in the sea ahead. From now on, you must walk the rest of the way on your own."

"Remember, hurry, or you might not see your father one last time."

Upon hearing this, the girl's expression changed. After confirming once again that the Heavenly Dao incarnation was unharmed, she did not delay and used her magic power to speed towards the depths of the East Sea.

However, in her anxiety, she failed to notice that the moment she stepped into the East Sea, a strange aura emanated from her.

As the aura spread, a large number of aquatic creatures in the East Sea died.

Meanwhile, the four-clawed golden dragon, which was swimming freely in the East China Sea, suddenly discovered a large-scale death of aquatic creatures in the East China Sea.

As the third prince of the East Sea Dragon King, Ao Bing could not bear to see such a scene, so he immediately flew out of the East Sea to look around.

Before long, they saw the strange little girl.

It was the appearance of Nüwa that caused the mass extinction of aquatic creatures in the East Sea.

This scene enraged Ao Bing:

"Hey, what kind of monster is this, daring to wreak havoc on my East Sea?"

The girl, who was anxiously searching for the island, was startled by Ao Bing. When she saw the huge golden dragon, a look of fear appeared on her little face.

The girl, who had never been far from the human royal city, had never seen such a scene before.

However, the desire to see Shennong overcame the fear:

"Don't stop me, I need to find my father!"

As she spoke, the girl channeled her magic, preparing to pass Ao Bing and go to find Shennong's whereabouts.

This movement caused an eerie aura to spread widely once again, resulting in heavy casualties among the aquatic creatures of the East Sea.

Ao Bing didn't have time to think, and his dragon tail trembled violently.

In an instant, towering waves surged up on the sea.

How could a girl with already low cultivation level possibly withstand a full-force attack from the enraged Ao Bing?

In an instant, it was swallowed up by the monstrous waves.

His magical power was quickly dissipated, and his body fell into the East China Sea.

Ao Bing was stunned for a moment after seeing the girl he had easily killed, and was just about to leave.

But at that moment, the girl's corpse emitted a hazy divine light.

Immediately afterwards, the two souls of the celestial being and the three spirits, enveloped in a hazy white light, transformed into a strangely shaped divine bird.

The divine bird, devoid of any intelligence, kept uttering the words "Jingwei" from its beak, flapping its wings, flying to the shore, picking up pebbles, and continuously throwing them into the East China Sea.

Seeing such a bizarre scene, Ao Bing felt a chill and dared not linger there, so he hurriedly returned to the East Sea Dragon Palace.

The Heavenly Dao clone sneered as it witnessed this scene.

The plan has been set; now it's time to see a large-scale conflict erupt between the human and dragon races.

With that thought, the Heavenly Dao clone erased all traces and slowly dissipated.

While Nüwa transformed into Jingwei, carrying the resentment of her previous life, and continued to fill the sea, Shennong's side on the nameless sacred mountain also encountered a fatal crisis.

While experimenting with herbs, he picked a herb he had never seen before from a cliff on an unnamed sacred mountain.

Shennong did not hesitate and took the medicine directly. Afterwards, he examined the medicinal properties of the herb and prepared to record them.

Unexpectedly, Shennong suffered excruciating abdominal pain immediately after consuming the herb.

The body's meridians, flesh, and bones were rapidly corroded by the medicinal properties of the herbs.

In a short while, Shennong's face turned completely black, his lips turned bluish-purple, and his body swayed on the wooden frame before falling downwards.

Fortunately, there were human cultivators guarding the area, and upon seeing this, they immediately caught Shennong.

However, when they examined Shennong's condition, they were greatly alarmed.

Because at this moment, Shennong was terminally ill.

Seeing this, the human cultivators dared not delay and hurriedly led Shennong through the teleportation array towards the human imperial city.

When the great sage of the human race learned that Shennong was critically ill and on the verge of death, his expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly summoned the top cultivators of the human race to come and check on him.
