Facing the Apocalypse with My Other Selves-Chapter 556 - 314: The Power of a Saint’s Strike! (Part 2)
If it can be said that all the saints have shown a decisiveness of not hesitating to perish together, then the Heavenly Dao must also consider the damage to itself.
"If that’s the case, what about Lady Nuwa now..." Shen Yu couldn’t help but feel a bit worried.
Today’s Lady Nuwa indeed does not exhibit some of the signs of decisiveness.
"No need to worry." Lady Nuwa clearly knew what Shen Yu was referring to, but didn’t care, "I am the mother of the human race, resolute by nature, without need for disguise. So now, when the human race has been saved, I am no longer as resolute as I was at the beginning, which in fact aligns with reality."
So that’s how it is.
Shen Yu slightly nodded, but felt more and more that, even though the Heavenly Dao lacks consciousness, it could actually be regarded as a person.
Such an enemy is clearly more troublesome.
However, Lady Nuwa’s words ultimately gave Shen Yu more confidence.
The greatest difficulty, if it only comes from the Heavenly Dao, he still had some assurance.
It’s essentially a matter of life level.
Subsequently, Shen Yu indeed started to chat casually with Lady Nuwa.
The topics were quite broad.
From Shen Yu’s personal life to some real mythological secrets that had happened in the ancient Primordial World.
Even included interesting stories about the Association and other worlds.
Lady Nuwa did not overly inquire about the Association-related matters nor had any intention of deep probing, no matter what Shen Yu said, she was just curious and accepting.
The whole process was quite pleasant.
One could even forget that the person before them was one of the saints of the ancient world, having lived countless years, standing at the apex of the entire Primordial World.
However, Shen Yu also understood in his heart.
The reason why he could feel this way, apart from Lady Nuwa’s own personality, had more to do with the wisdom and mindset of this saint, which completely overwhelmed him.
A person whose wisdom is so outstanding, experience so rich, and mindset so strong, it’s incredibly easy for them to befriend someone far less capable than themselves.
But even knowing this, it didn’t affect Shen Yu’s intention to form a good relationship.
And this is what led to the current scene.
Only, at the end, Lady Nuwa still stated her purpose for the day.
"I want to leave an avatar by your side." She didn’t conceal much, just smiled and said, "We saints, in terms of mentality, are already close to entering an old age phase. After the sealing of the gods, most of my time has been spent sleeping, the same for others. The motivation to leave the Primordial World is not entirely for further advancement, but more importantly, for experience—even for saints, if life is always the same, then there is no difference from being a stone."
Lady Nuwa’s tone was sincere when speaking these words.
If it weren’t for the previous interactions and conversations, Shen Yu would probably only take it as a conversational skill.
But now, he actually somewhat believed it.
After all, she indeed showed curiosity and exploration towards new things.
But still, as the saying goes.
Shen Yu did not intend to consider any emotional factors when it came to benefits.
So, whether or not to believe, whether Lady Nuwa is sincere, it was all unimportant.
The only thing that mattered was—what benefits it could bring and what drawbacks it might have.
"If to follow by my side, there would indeed be quite a few difficulties." Shen Yu eventually said, his tone equally sincere, "Only members can enter the Association, even if Association Points can be used for shelter, there are many places where non-members are not allowed to enter. However, if it’s merely to visit other worlds, then there’s no problem at all."
"No, even in visitation, there are differences in perspectives." Lady Nuwa slightly shook her head, her posture that had been lazily lying on the chair suddenly straightened, and she looked at Shen Yu rather earnestly, "I more want to see how, from the perspective of an Association member, they save those Doomsday Worlds and what kind of scenery they can witness."
This time, Shen Yu truly hesitated, even prepared to refuse.
But Lady Nuwa’s next words made him sit up straight as well.
"The avatar I am preparing carries the power of a saint’s strike."
That’s right, it was just a light sentence, but it signified something entirely different.
The power of a saint’s strike!
Don’t underestimate just one strike; it already represents a lot.
If it were in the Wizard World, could this strike directly resolve the wizard world’s crisis?
If the High Martial World’s level reached the saint’s level, could this strike directly elevate the human race to become the strongest among all races?
Same in the Beast Taming World.
For the current Association, even if Shen Yu and others all reached the Daluo Golden Immortal level, it’s actually quite hard to break through.
All worlds where they might acquire large amounts of Gray Mist have explicit presences equivalent to Daluo Golden Immortal.
Otherwise, Shen Yu and the others would long have elevated their Extraordinary Level, with sufficient Gray Mist, resources are barely needed at all.
But it’s because, even upon reaching Daluo Golden Immortal, it’s uncertain they could immediately acquire a large amount of Gray Mist for replenishment.
Therefore, it’s wholly unnecessary.
But the saint’s level... is different!
Shen Yu had to admit, he was deeply tempted.
"Lady Nuwa, are you already able to spare a hand and make a move once?" Shen Yu did not respond directly, instead, asked earnestly.
That’s right, he was somewhat greedy.
If Lady Nuwa could make a move once, does that mean she could strike a second and third time?
However, Lady Nuwa slowly shook her head.
"I know what you’re thinking. If it were so, I wouldn’t need to seek ways to the All Heavens World, I’d just help you all sweep away all the monsters and suppress those people from daring to appear, wouldn’t that be good?" Lady Nuwa even spread her hands with a bit of helplessness in her expression, "But the power of this strike was barely gathered by borrowing the human race’s fate conveyed to me during this time, at least it will need equally long to re-gather for another strike."
Shen Yu, after a rough calculation, found that it’s been nearly two years since they temporarily thwarted the direct fall of the meteorite and the ensuing monster crisis.
Two years, one strike?
This isn’t a little, but surely not a lot either.
However, it doesn’t hurt to use what’s available.
Shen Yu internally breathed a sigh of relief, still agreeing: "If that’s the case, it may indeed save quite a few humans, and we can get more Association Points, seems there’s no reason to refuse."
"Then it’s settled." Lady Nuwa smiled, waved her hand, and a small sachet appeared in it.
Even though Shen Yu didn’t have the level of a Daluo Golden Immortal, he could see the extraordinary nature of this small sachet.
"Although the power of a saint can only be utilized once, wielding it unarmed is one thing, but holding an innate treasure is another," Lady Nuwa chuckled, "This time, I got quite a few good things from them. If you have any situation where the power of a saint can be of use, feel free to be bold."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yu’s heart couldn’t help but skip a beat.
He began recalling, one by one, the treasures that appeared in various Primordial myths.
He started to realize, this time, the Association might really have a substantial weapon!
Even if it’s single-use, it’s yet significant.
Indeed, after knowing this, the newly formed presidium of the Association encountered its first genuine discord!
Primarily focusing on which world to use this power.
They indeed had quite a few options.
First is the Wizard World, where the levels are distinct, and the crisis has gradually emerged. Using the power of a saint might even end the doomsday.
This would mean a substantial amount of Gray Mist!
A truly massive amount of Gray Mist, absolutely more than what Main Body Shen Yu obtained that one time.
