Chapter 473 Nuwa Enters the Underworld
Nuwa shook her head and said calmly:
"No, that's not it."
"I'm just stating the facts."
"If you, fellow Daoist, are willing to allow my elder brother to leave the Heavenly Demon Clan..."
"I promise that if the demon race is in trouble in the future, I will lend a helping hand once."
"This promise is witnessed by Heaven."
As soon as Nuwa uttered these words, Di Jun's pupils constricted slightly.
He naturally didn't want to simply let Fuxi leave the demon race for no reason.
In any case, Fuxi was also a quasi-saint powerhouse, and he was extremely skilled at deduction.
If there are no benefits to Fuxi being separated from the demon race, it would be a significant loss for the demon race.
But now, the sage Nuwa has said that if Fuxi agrees to leave the demon race, she will help the demon race once in the future.
This gave Di Jun an idea.
After all, the significance of a single action by a veteran sage is self-evident.
In particular, the demon race is currently weak, and Donghuang Taiyi has not yet attained enlightenment.
If the demon race truly faces a great calamity in the future, Nuwa's promise may be their lifeline.
One Fuxi is exchanged for a chance for a sage to make a move in the future.
In Di Jun's view, it was certainly not a loss.
After a moment's thought, a resolute glint flashed in Di Jun's eyes, followed by a softened expression and a smile:
"That's enough!"
"Since Emperor Xi has made up his mind to leave, this Emperor... cannot force him to stay."
As he spoke, Di Jun turned his gaze to the Sage Nuwa and said with a smile:
"We hope that the Sage Nuwa will remember her promise made today!"
Nuwa nodded slightly; she had already thought this through beforehand.
Only if he agrees to some kind of benefit will Di Jun release the person.
After all, she knew Di Jun's character very well; he was the kind of person who wouldn't act until he saw a clear benefit.
When Fuxi saw that Dijun had agreed to let him leave the demon race, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes. He then quickly bowed deeply to Dijun.
"Your Majesty's kindness over the years is deeply appreciated by Fuxi."
"If the demon race ever needs help in the future, Fuxi will not stand idly by."
Di Jun remained indifferent to what Fuxi said, not taking it to heart.
Nuwa was a sage, so her words carried a different weight.
As for Fuxi, he had not yet attained enlightenment. In the eyes of Dijun, who had already attained enlightenment and become a saint, his existence was dispensable and no different from that of an ant.
Nuwa did not linger in the demon realm, but instead took Fuxi and crossed the boundary to return to the primordial world.
After Nuwa left, in the Demon Realm's main hall, Donghuang Taiyi's expression darkened as he looked at Dijun.
Before Donghuang Taiyi could speak, Dijun had already spoken first:
"You may all step back!"
"Second brother, you stay here."
Upon hearing this, all the demon gods in the hall bowed and retreated.
Before long, only Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi remained.
"Elder brother, why did you let Fuxi leave?"
"He's a great help to our demon race!"
Donghuang Taiyi looked at Dijun with a puzzled expression.
Di Jun had already attained sainthood and looked down on Fuxi, but in Donghuang Taiyi's eyes, Fuxi was at least a peak Quasi-Saint.
Now that they have separated from the demon race, the overall combat strength of the demon race has naturally been reduced.
Upon hearing this, Di Jun's lips curled into a meaningful smile, and he said faintly:
"Second brother."
"I told you before that the power of the demon realm is only enough for one new saint."
"Keeping Fuxi would be of little use."
"Moreover, Nuwa has also promised that she will lend a hand should my demon race encounter difficulties in the future."
"Trading a useless Fuxi for a chance for a sage to act—it's a sure-fire win!"
After Di Jun's explanation, Donghuang Taiyi immediately understood and nodded, saying:
"I see."
"Elder brother is indeed very thoughtful."
……
On the other side, Nuwa had already led Fuxi out of the demon realm.
"younger sister."
"If you want me to be reincarnated as a human, you need the consent of Niu Ben, the lord of the underworld."
"I doubt he'll agree so easily."
Fuxi spoke with a solemn expression.
After all, he was once a member of the demon race, and there was quite a grudge between the demon race and Niu Ben.
Upon hearing this, Nuwa glanced at her eyes, a hint of worry flashing in them.
Before entering the demon realm, she had visited Niu Ben in the Netherworld.
After all, the demon realm and the witch realm are controlled by Niu Ben, and even though she is a saint, she cannot force her way in.
Fortunately, after learning that she had entered the demon realm to find her brother Fuxi, Niu Ben readily agreed.
What worried Nuwa was that if Fuxi were to be successfully reincarnated as a human, Niu Ben might not be so willing to comply.
After a moment's thought, Nuwa came to her senses, took a deep breath, and said:
"Brother."
"Don't think about it too much now, come with me to the underworld!"
Then, the brother and sister didn't linger and headed straight for the underworld.
Soon, the two arrived at the Gates of Hell in the Netherworld.
This time, Nuwa was extremely polite. She paused, then bowed respectfully towards the depths of the underworld, and spoke in a clear, melodious voice:
"Fellow Daoist Niu Ben, Nuwa requests an audience; she has something to discuss."
Meanwhile, inside the main hall of Fengdu City.
Niu Ben was slightly surprised and muttered doubtfully:
"Oh?"
"You're out so quickly?"
"And...and they even brought Fuxi out of the demon realm?"
After a moment's hesitation, Niu Ben regained his composure and responded calmly:
"Fellow Daoists Nuwa and Fuxi, please!"
Outside the Gates of Hell, after hearing Niu Ben's telepathic message, Nuwa gave Fuxi a wink.
Then, the two of them slipped inside.
Before long, Nuwa led Fuxi to the main hall where Niu Ben was.
"Greetings, fellow Daoist!"
Nuwa bowed slightly.
Upon seeing this, Fuxi immediately bowed deeply to Niu Ben:
"Fuxi pays homage to the sage Niu Ben!"
Niu Ben narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze lingering on the brother and sister for a moment before finally settling on Fuxi, and he spoke in a cold voice:
"Fellow Daoist Fuxi."
"You are a member of the demon race, how did you come out of the demon realm?"
"I once said that once demon beings enter the demon realm, they shall not set foot in the primordial world again without permission!"
When Niu Ben said this, his tone was somewhat cold, and an invisible aura of holy power spread out, making Fuxi feel even more pressured.
"this……"
Fuxi was stunned, his lips moved slightly, but he didn't know how to explain.
At this moment, the sage Nuwa stepped forward, looked at Niu Ben with a slightly apologetic expression, and said:
"Fellow Daoist Niu Ben."
"This is my fault. I entered the demon realm earlier to bring my brother out of it."
"Fellow Daoist, rest assured, my elder brother has now broken away from the demon race and is no longer a being of the demon race."
Upon hearing this, Niu Ben's icy expression softened slightly, and he said calmly:
"Fellow Daoist Nuwa."
You should have told me these things in advance.
Nuwa paused for a moment, her lips parted slightly, but she didn't say anything.
Fortunately, Niu Ben didn't dwell on the matter further, instead changing the subject:
"Speak!"
"What does the Sage Nuwa wish to discuss with me?"
