Facing the Apocalypse with My Other Selves-Chapter 555 - 314: The Power of a Saint’s Strike!

However, Shen Yu didn’t quite expect that Nuwa would not put on the airs of the mother of the Human Race in front of him.

On the contrary, when faced with Shen Yu’s questions, she simply smiled slightly and said casually, "To say it’s an instruction would be too distant; I don’t have any demands. If I were to state a purpose, it’s merely to meet you and see what kind of person someone from the Human Race has become."

Is it just to meet?

Shen Yu didn’t really know whether this was true or not.

However, since Lady Nuwa said so, Shen Yu was more than happy to establish a good rapport with such a powerful Saint.

So, he relaxed slightly.

"It’s my honor," Shen Yu replied with a smile, his tone tinged with reflection, "When I was very young, around five or six years old, I read myths and legends about you. Not just me, most of the people in my country did the same. Back then, we could hardly imagine that myths were indeed real and that I could one day see you with my own eyes."

For Shen Yu, or rather for most people in the Association, these mythological figures of the Primordial World carried a special emotional attachment.

This emotion doesn’t necessarily have to change, as long as it can be controlled and doesn’t affect decisions related to interests.

"Actually, although the initial Human Race in the Primordial World was indeed created by me, later on, the true creator of the Human Race in other worlds was the entire heaven and earth." Nuwa shook her head slightly, seemingly reluctant to claim all the credit for herself.

Although in this era there are still the existence of the demon race, the Human Race still dominates absolutely.

What’s more, Nuwa was already well aware at this moment.

In other worlds beyond this one, there are also instances of the Human Race.

Therefore, she was unwilling to directly crown herself with the title of "Mother of the Human Race."

This title was indeed too grand for the people of the All Heavens era.

Shen Yu could totally understand.

In fact, he only regarded the figure in front of him as part of mythology, part of his self-identity and culture, rather than seeing her as an actual "mother."

Nevertheless, Nuwa’s statement still brought them closer.

Taking the opportunity, Shen Yu asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Even a Saint cannot find the enemy’s location?"

Right now, the enemy remains hidden, while their side is exposed.

This is definitely not good for dealing with the doomsday crisis of this world.

In Shen Yu’s opinion, to truly resolve the doomsday crisis and defeat the enemy, the first step is to identify them.

Only by doing so can there be a real threat, the first step towards victory.

However, Nuwa slowly shook her head.

She lay lazily in a recliner, her face bearing the fatigue and helplessness of a worker: "This time, our true enemy is not so much those children, but the entire heaven and earth. The Heavenly Dao does not permit us to detach from this world, at least not opening a precedent."

"Has the Heavenly Dao developed emotions of its own?" Shen Yu’s eyebrows furrowed deeply, feeling quite helpless.

If that were the case, it would be a massive issue.

In an Extraordinary World, the most powerful force is definitely the world itself.

More specifically, it’s the Extraordinary Source.

That’s the strongest thing; even seemingly powerful enemies only manage by merging with or partially controlling the Extraordinary Source.

But even a complete merger would surely not compare to the self-awareness born from the Heavenly Dao itself.

However, Lady Nuwa had some good news.

"It hasn’t reached such a level; it’s just an instinctive reaction." Lady Nuwa used a metaphor, "Even if it’s as smooth as a round stone, with just a little push, it would roll. ’Smoothness’ is an instinct; it acts according to certain predetermined rules."

"So, pushing to leave the world triggers such a fierce instinctive reaction from the Heavenly Dao?" Shen Yu understood.

Before, the Bodhi Ancestor said something similar.

In the Primordial World, there’s always been a rule of calamities, and this time, it’s simply a calamity combined with the Heavenly Dao’s instinctive repulsion to the possibility of the Primordial World detaching from itself, creating this outcome.

"In conclusion," Nuwa’s tone suddenly became much more serious, "in this calamity, trying to rely on our power is going to be extremely difficult. Merely preventing the Heavenly Dao already takes all our strength, even threatening self-destruction only manages to delay its actions. You should understand that this requires demonstrating a decisive stance."

Only then did Shen Yu realize.

No wonder all the Saints couldn’t even slightly intervene.

Besides the enormous pressure, the greater reason lies in the stance.

Though the Heavenly Dao lacks self-awareness, it could actually be regarded as a robot with complex cognitive abilities.

So, when all the Saints adopt a decisive stance, the actions of the Heavenly Dao will also be affected.

At this level, Saints, although not fully merged with the Heavenly Dao, already occupy an extremely important place at the level of the Law.
