Shabi Shi, known as one of the twelve witch ancestors, was indeed powerful despite being ranked last. But how could he compare to a sage?
Now, the human race is indeed weak; Shabi Shi could kill tens of thousands with just a sneeze. However, behind the humans stands the Sage Nüwa. Feng Ye didn’t believe that this sage, who could shape an entire race and later mend the sky, would have a good relationship with the witch ancestor who controlled plagues and diseases.
The great development of medicine brought many benefits to the human race, and that sage would certainly not overlook this. The Holy Mother is connected to the fate of the human race. Could she possibly abandon the humans to curry favor with Shabi Shi? Moreover, it’s uncertain whether Shabi Shi would even recognize her. Furthermore, as a sage, could Nüwa not foresee the future prosperity of the human race?
For this reason, even if Shabi Shi wanted to use the power of the spotted dove to manifest an avatar, that lady would not allow it.
All Feng Ye needed to do was ensure that the sage received the message.
Think about it, why could the Fire Emperor think of the totem shield method? Who would believe that no one was giving him ideas behind the scenes! And who among the deities has the best relationship with the human race? Who else but Nüwa?
Moreover, the Ancestral Fire Cave still houses a wooden statue of Nüwa, which further confirms this. Feng Ye had Yuan Kui activate the strongest defense of the Sui Ren tribe, hoping to draw the attention of the Holy Mother.
As Feng Ye expected, when Yuan Kui activated the final defense, Nüwa in the Palace of Nüwa naturally sensed it.
In the Palace of Nüwa, the Holy Mother sat high on her divine throne, seeing the Sui Ren tribe suffering and the witch god lineage attacking. Naturally, Nüwa would not show them any kindness. After all, compared to the Heavenly Court of Emperor Di Jun, who had always treated her with respect, the arrogant witch clan could not win Nüwa’s favor.
Thus, Nüwa took action. At this time, even if a sage intervened, it would not cause any major disasters. As for the other sages, well, Nüwa was saving her own disciples, and if they dared to intervene, Nüwa would show her small-mindedness. If they didn’t let her save her children, then in the future, when their disciples were in trouble, they wouldn’t be able to act either. Everyone would just watch their disciples die. At worst, they would all become lonely figures, perhaps even visiting each other?
Moreover, at this time, the only sages besides Nüwa were Hongjun. Daozu Hongjun was solely focused on the Heavenly Dao, and as long as you didn’t defy heaven or do something that would destroy the world, he wouldn’t bother with you.
As for the Three Pure Ones and others, they were in closed meditation, cultivating to achieve the realm of sage.
In the Shabi Shi tribe, Shabi Shi was about to manifest his divine power when a scroll descended from the sky, obscuring the heavenly secrets, followed by a red light that struck Shabi Shi’s chest.
Although Nüwa, as a sage of creation, was not very strong in combat, it depended on who she was compared to. Nüwa indeed had no good methods against the witch ancestors’ physical bodies, but Shabi Shi was the last of the twelve witch ancestors and was proficient in the ways of poison and disease. His physical training was not as strong as the other witch ancestors. Caught off guard by Nüwa’s sudden attack, Shabi Shi spat blood and several ribs were broken in his chest.
Shabi Shi roared in anger and was about to rush out for revenge. But at that moment, he suddenly felt the environment change, with a brilliant starry sky and hanging stars. Shabi Shi was not unfamiliar with this scene; it was the same in the starry sky above the Heavenly Court. Shabi Shi shuddered; if it were really the starry sky, it would be Emperor Di Jun’s domain, and for a witch ancestor to go there would be courting death.
In the starry sky, a figure suddenly formed from the flowing starlight, dignified and graceful.
"Nüwa!" Shabi Shi gritted his teeth.
"Sir, I wonder what my children have done to offend you so that you would treat them like this? Didn’t you hear my declaration in the world of chaos the other day?"
When the human race was first attacked by a powerful being, Nüwa had declared to the world of chaos: the human race is under Nüwa’s protection, and anyone who wants to harm the humans must first kill her.
If it were wild beasts, it would be natural for the strong to prey on the weak, and Nüwa couldn’t say much about it. She couldn’t order the beasts to wash themselves, peel their own skin, and run into the humans’ stomachs. But for those powerful beings above the rank of Golden Immortal, if they dared to target the humans, Nüwa would not let them off easily.
"Sir, rest assured, I have no good feelings towards the witch clan, but I have no interest in attacking you. I only hope that in the future, you will think more carefully before acting. This starry sky maze was taught to me by my brother, and it dates back to the time of the Eastern Emperor. Since you are here, why not enjoy it for a while? It will naturally dissipate in three years."
With that, Nüwa’s starlight avatar vanished, leaving Shabi Shi to stomp in anger.
Although Feng Ye was unaware of what was happening thousands of miles away, he could sense the divine power gradually fading through the spotted dove’s aura. He knew that this crisis had passed, and he no longer needed to worry about it.
Moreover, just as Feng Ye was worried about the dove poison on Feng Kui and Feng Zhong, a divine light descended from the sky, curing their poison. This way, Feng Ye naturally understood that someone had intervened, and Shabi Shi no longer needed to be a concern.
It seemed that it must have been Lady Nüwa. Thinking of this, Feng Ye instructed Feng Kui to prepare a sacrifice to the Holy Mother. After all, a good child who knows how to repay kindness is more beloved by their mother, right? Even if the mother is still the mother and wouldn’t say anything, the relationship would be different. And since Feng Kui was saved by Lady Nüwa, he should thank her, even if she were a stranger.
After cleaning the battlefield, the most valuable thing was the spotted dove’s corpse. Feng Ye also collected some witch medicines and poisons when he gathered the divine soul of the Red-feathered Witch God.
The greatest loss was the spotted dove, but fortunately, it had the chance to be reborn, so there was no need to be too sad. Notably, after this epidemic, Feng Kui gained the recognition of the tribe and was elected as the next leader. It made sense; the current leader had died in the epidemic, and the tribe needed a new leader.
Feng Kui, who had been devoted to the tribe and had been working hard for the human race, and who had just been saved by Lady Nüwa, was naturally seen as extraordinary by the tribe and was highly regarded.
Well, after all, he was the reincarnation of the Fire Emperor, and perhaps he needed the human race to advance further. The medical path could also contribute to the human race. Feng Ye naturally agreed and personally went to the human race to attend Feng Kui’s leadership ceremony.
———Today, it’s finally finished. Yes, Nüwa has made her appearance, and next will be the mending of the sky!
