Chapter 463 - Goddess Nuwa: I Was the Fool the Whole Time

Li Nianfan gasped and felt thunderstruck.

‘This…

‘What the heck happened when you went out? How did you end up carrying Goddess Nuwa back home?’

“Brother. Sister Goddess Nuwa seems to be dying.” Nanan snapped Li Nianfan out of it.

“Quick, let me take a look.”

Li Nianfan stopped being shocked. He instantly checked her pulse.

At that moment, he did not worry about the fact that he was checking the pulse of a Saint. He tried to refrain from doing so.

Truthfully, the Saints he most respected were Goddess Nuwa and Empress Houtu. Goddess Nuwa fixed the sky and made men from clay. She was the mother of all mankind. It was without a doubt. He had to pay his respects.

Empress Houtu sacrificed herself by turning into Reincarnation. She created a home for the dead. She was also incredible.

Apart from that, he also respected Taishang Elder. After all, he passed down the teachings of Dao to the humans. Humans were able to reproduce and live for generations.

The other religions were mostly for the Demons. Li Nianfan naturally did not discriminate against them but he would prefer religion for humans because he was a human. He respected Buddhism as much as he respected Goddess Nuwa and Empress Houtu.

He had already met Empress Houtu. He did not expect to meet Goddess Nuwa, too, especially in a scenario like that.

Goddess Nuwa was not doing well. Li Nianfan had to rescue her.

Her pulse was worse than how she looked. She was extremely weak, almost on the verge of death.

Not only was she exhausted, but her pulse was also inconsistent. She was badly injured.

Suddenly, the bottom half of Goddess Nuwa transformed. Her two legs turned into a snake’s body.

Li Nianfan frowned and said, “We need to hurry, she’s transforming back to her true form!”

His mind was churning for healing plans.

Truthfully, he had observed Daji and Fire Phoenix to compare the bodies of cultivators to the bodies of ordinary people. He discovered that their appearances were pretty much the same. That was normal. It would be weird if a cultivator had a disfigured appearance.

However, cultivators healed differently. The medicine of cultivators was not accepted by the bodies of ordinary people. Cultivators needed Spiritual Herbs!

Spiritual Herbs were defined as cultivator medicine by Li Nianfan.

Therefore, he studied and analyzed various Spiritual Herbs. Combining his medical knowledge, he easily compiled a list of Spiritual Herb types and their qualities. He could create elixirs and medicine.

He got a lot of Spiritual Herbs from the bigshots. He got them from cultivators, the Jade Emperor, and the Empress. He had enough for research.

However…he was facing an issue.

Suddenly, Daji and the Fire Phoenix walked over. They asked curiously, “What happened?”

“Nanan carried Goddess Nuwa back home.”

Li Nianfan pouted. Then, he said, “Great timing. Hurry up and check her injuries. Take a look and see if she was cursed, or if there are some destructive leftover powers.”

Goddess Nuwa was obviously injured from battle. If the opponent did something to her, Li Nianfan knew that he could not help her.

Daji and Fire Phoenix looked at each other. They smiled bitterly and shook their heads.

‘The Master’s starting to act again.’

Bodily injuries were nothing to cultivators. It was surface-level injuries. The crucial injuries were on the Primordial Spirit of a cultivator.

The Primordial Spirit of Goddess Nuwa was damaged. She was left with a hint of consciousness. She could evaporate and fade away at any given moment.

Her injuries were incurable. If she were any other Immortal, she would be dead already. She could not be saved unless there was a miracle.

‘However… We have a miracle. This miracle likes to pretend to be an ordinary man…’

They thought to themselves. Daji went along with it and said, “Master, Goddess Nuwa has no leftover powers or curse.”

“Good. I shall make some medicine and try to save her then. I hope it works.”

Li Nianfan nodded and did not dare to delay. He started to brew some medicine in the middle of the night.

Goddess Nuwa was a Saint. She was a powerful cultivator so he should help her. She could possibly survive and wake up.

Li Nianfan brewed some medicine soup until daybreak. He fed Goddess Nuwa the medicine.

He told Daji and Fire Phoenix to take care of Goddess Nuwa while he continued to brew more medicine soup.

Three days had passed. Li Nianfan surprisingly realized that Goddess Nuwa was getting better. Her injuries were healing. At least she was no longer on the verge of dying.

Goddess Nuwa groaned and her eyelashes fluttered as she slowly opened her eyes.

Her eyes were as bright as stars. However, she looked lost. She kept thinking about the moment before she passed out. She was once again in disbelief and shock.

She had to breathe heavily.

She tried to calm down and realized she was lying in bed. Her surroundings were unfamiliar to her. She was slightly dumbfounded at the moment.

Suddenly, she heard a happy voice. “Sister Goddess Nuwa, you’re awake!”

“Nanan?”

Goddess Nuwa was puzzled. She asked, “I… I didn’t die? Why am I here?”

Nanan replied, “I brought you here. My brother saved you.”

“Your brother…saved me?”

Goddess Nuwa was stumped. ‘My injuries were so serious that even Saints couldn’t help me. I should be dead by now.

‘After all… My Primordial Spirit was damaged!

‘The best-case scenario for me is getting the chance to reincarnate. How is it possible that I’ve been saved?’

She quickly thought of the Peach Wood Sword before she passed out. She asked bafflingly, “Nanan, that Peach Wood Sword… Did your brother give it to you?”

Nanan nodded. “Yeah, he said it’s a lucky charm.”

‘Lucky charm?’

Goddess Nuwa twitched. ‘So lucky that it killed a Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal? Can you believe that?’

She took a deep breath.

She jolted when she took a deep breath. Then, she gasped.

Gasp—

She had goosebumps. She could not believe it. The air she breathed made her skin crawl.

Goddess Nuwa lifted her hand as if she was trying to touch the air.

“Chaos Spiritual Qi. This is…Chaos Spiritual Qi?!”

‘How is this possible?

‘How is this possible?!’

She looked around and stared at the air around her.

‘A house full of Chaos Spiritual Qi. This…this…

‘I must be hallucinating, right? I must be in a coma or dreaming or something.’

She was a drifter in the Chaos. She spent a lot of effort looking around in the Chaos. She was happy for a long time when she found a Chaos Spiritual Stone.

A Chaos Spiritual Stone was nothing compared to the room full of Chaos Spiritual Qi.

She would require a lot of effort to get Chaos Spiritual Qi out from a Chaos Spiritual Stone. Plus, it would be impure.

Chaos Spiritual Qi…existed in the vast Chaos that contained everything. It was impossible to achieve unless one had extraordinary powers or incredible Luck.

“Nanan, you…you…”

Goddess Nuwa finally understood why Nanan said that the Chaos Spiritual Stone was useless in the mountain cave. She lived amongst Chaos Spiritual Qi. A Chaos Spiritual Stone was merely a turd to her.

‘Darn!

‘I was the fool the whole time?’

“Hehe. Sister Goddess Nuwa. I told you I’d treat you with fruits. The fruits planted by my brother are super delicious. Here you go.”

Nanan chuckled and gave Goddess Nuwa a peach.

“Flat Peach?”

Goddess Nuwa was familiar with the peach. However, she was mind blown when she took it from Nanan.

Yikes—

She jolted and exclaimed, “Chaos Spiritual Fruit! This is a Chaos Spiritual Fruit!

“You call this a fruit?”

She looked at Nanan with disbelief. She felt awful.

‘I’ve been living in the Chaos for so many years. I’ve seen a lot of boastful bigshots, too. However, this is the first time I’ve seen someone living so luxuriously.”

‘This is a Chaos Spiritual Fruit. A super valuable treasure birthed from the Chaos. Its value is equivalent to a small universe.

‘I’m not going to lie. The entire eldritch world isn’t even as valuable as a Chaos Spiritual Fruit Tree.’

She felt thunderstruck because she never tasted or smelled a Chaos Spiritual Fruit before. She only drooled over the rumors. She never thought that she could try it.

However… ‘How did a Chaos Spiritual Fruit appear in front of me?’

It was unreal.

“No. My brother said they’re fruits. So, they’re fruits.”

Nanan corrected her, “Apart from peaches, we have apples, plums, pears, and a lot of other fruits.”

Goddess Nuwa was baffled.

She suddenly felt like she was in the wrong place.

‘This must be a different dimension. I probably arrived somewhere much more powerful than the eldritch world.

‘Chaos Spiritual Qi and Chaos Spiritual Fruits in my realm?’

Nanan rushed her, “Sister Goddess Nuwa, hurry up and eat. This peach is delicious.”

“Uh… Yeah.”

Goddess Nuwa pursed her lips. She did not care anymore. She bit down on the peach.

Crunch.

The juicy peach popped in her mouth like a water balloon. Endless juice poured into her throat.

The flesh was not too soft and not too hard. The sweet flavor and the amazing texture of the fruit made her feel at ease. Her pale face started to blush.

‘Yummy, delicious!’

The aura of the realm also started to nourish her Primordial Spirit.

“Chaos Spiritual Fruit. I took a bite out of a Chaos Spiritual Fruit!

“So this is what a Chaos Spiritual Fruit tastes like. Boohoo…”

Goddess Nuwa swallowed the juice. She suddenly sobbed.

She felt like she had been living poorly and eating weeds all those years when suddenly, she had the chance to eat meat. It was an emotional experience…
