Chapter 331 Nuwa Patches Up the Sky!
The area behind the door is white.
It wasn't light, it was white. Everything around him was white, so white that Su Fan couldn't tell where the sky ended and the ground began. He stepped on the whiteness, and it felt soft under his feet, like walking on a thick layer of cotton.
He walked forward. After three steps, a person appeared in the white light.
The woman was barefoot, her hair was loose, and she wore a long white dress. Her eyes were golden, with a silver dot in each pupil.
She sat cross-legged on the white table, with her hands on her knees, palms facing up.
Her body was transparent, like a block of ice. Su Fan could see what was inside her body—no bones, no blood, only a ball of golden light dancing in her chest.
Nuwa.
Su Fan walked up to her and knelt on one knee.
"Human Su Fan greets the Goddess Nuwa."
Nuwa looked at him, her golden eyes expressionless.
"Humans?"
Su Fan nodded.
Nuwa tilted her head, as if looking at something she had never seen before.
"When I created humanity, they had no writing, no language, no cities, and no war. They rolled in the mud, ate wild fruits, drank river water, and were chased by wild beasts. Thirty thousand years later, humanity had writing, language, cities, and war. Now, humanity has you."
Su Fan remained kneeling, unmoving. He couldn't tell whether Nuwa's words were a praise or an insult, but he didn't care. He took out the golden fragment from his robes and held it up.
The fragments glowed in his palm, and golden light exploded in the white space like a small sun.
Nuwa stared at the fragments, her golden eyes suddenly lighting up. The light was terrifyingly bright, and her silver pupils shrank to the size of pinpoints as she stared intently at the fragments.
"This is……"
Su Fan said, "The Dao of the corpse. Ancestor Hongjun said that this can be used to mend the cracks in the Heavenly Dao. But he didn't say how to mend it. The owner of the corpse said, 'I've come to ask you.'"
Nuwa reached out and took the fragment from Su Fan's palm. The fragment spun between her fingertips, its golden light flickering. She gazed at it for a long time, then pressed the fragment against her chest. The fragment merged into her body, becoming one with the golden light emanating from her chest.
Her body lit up briefly, then went dark again.
Nuwa closed her eyes.
"I know the method to mend the sky."
Su Fan felt relieved.
Nuwa opened her eyes and looked at Su Fan.
"But I will not make amends."
Su Fan was stunned.
Why?
Nuwa took the fragment from her chest and threw it back into Su Fan's hand. The fragment was frighteningly hot, and Su Fan's palm sizzled from the heat, but he didn't let go.
Nuwa stood up, barefoot on the white ground, and looked down at Su Fan.
"Thirty thousand years ago, I mended the sky once. That time, the sky collapsed, and I refined five-colored stones to mend the sky piece by piece. I mended it for nine days and nine nights, and when I finished, my body shattered."
She raised her hand, her transparent arm gleaming coldly in the white light.
"The one you see now is not me. It is a wisp of my remnant soul left behind in the Ruins of Return. My body shattered 30,000 years ago. To mend the heavens, one must sacrifice one's life. My life was already used up 30,000 years ago."
Su Fan stood up, clutching the shards in his hand, his palm burning from the heat.
"What should we do then?"
Nuwa looked at him, and a flicker of emotion suddenly appeared in her golden eyes.
"What's your hurry?"
Su Fan took a deep breath: "If the rift in the Heavenly Dao isn't repaired within three years, the Primordial World will be gone. If the Primordial World is gone, humanity will be gone. I am the God-Sealing Envoy of humanity; I cannot watch humanity perish."
Nuwa stared into his eyes for a long time. Those golden eyes were like two knives, cleaving his soul from head to toe, looking at it over and over again.
"Is your path one of protection?"
