As the magma on Ting Yu’s body had not fully receded, Yao Ji and Nu Wa rushed towards Ting Yu as soon as they saw her.
Seeing Nu Wa and Yao Ji approaching, Taishang immediately glared at them.
Upon seeing this, Yao Ji and Nu Wa reluctantly stopped.
Taishang only moved his finger away from Ting Yu’s brow after all the magma on her body had turned into flesh and blood.
Taishang turned to look at Yao Ji and Nu Wa and said indifferently:
“Alright, come over!”
Hearing this, Yao Ji and Nu Wa quickly came to Ting Yu’s side and looked at Ting Yu lying on the ground.
Seeing that Ting Yu was still not awake, Yao Ji and Nu Wa quickly turned to look at Taishang.
“Master!”
Just as Yao Ji and Nu Wa finished speaking, Ting Yu slowly opened her eyes.
The moment Ting Yu opened her eyes, she saw Yao Ji and Nu Wa in front of her and immediately hugged them excitedly.
“Children, I finally see you, thank heavens!”
Yao Ji and Nu Wa also hugged Ting Yu excitedly.
“Mother!”
Taishang did not interrupt the reunion of Ting Yu and her daughters. He walked over to Yuan Shi.
“Second Brother, I even used the purest essence blood of Tai Qing to save her. Don’t you have any token of appreciation?”
Hearing this, Yuan Shi immediately burst into laughter:
“Elder Brother has worked hard!”
After speaking, Yuan Shi walked directly towards Ting Yu and her daughters.
Ting Yu, having not seen Yao Ji and Nu Wa for a long time, was immersed in the joy of their reunion. However, she suddenly thought that while the three of them were reunited in the underworld, Shen Nong was left all alone in the mortal world.
Thinking of this, Ting Yu was overcome with sadness.
Seeing that Ting Yu, who had been happy moments ago, had suddenly become melancholic, Yao Ji and Nu Wa immediately asked:
“Mother, what’s wrong?”
Hearing this, Ting Yu immediately said:
“Children, we mothers have reunited, leaving your father to live alone in the mortal world!”
Hearing Ting Yu’s words, Yao Ji realized that her mother had not yet realized that she had been resurrected.
Yao Ji immediately said:
“Mother, take a good look at where we are!”
At Yao Ji’s words, Ting Yu became confused.
“Is this not the Underworld established by Empress Houtu?”
After saying this, Ting Yu looked around and noticed Fuxi, Taishang, and the others.
In Ting Yu’s consciousness, Yao Ji and Nu Wa were already dead, so the moment she saw them, she thought she had also died.
Upon seeing Taishang and Yuan Shi, Ting Yu jolted and immediately got up to pay her respects to them.
“Greetings to the two Saint Fathers!”
In the hearts of the human race, the status of the Three Pure Ones, these three nominal fathers, was still slightly higher than that of Nu Wa, the nominal mother who gave birth but did not raise.
After paying her respects to Taishang, Yuan Shi, and the Human Emperor Fuxi, Ting Yu looked at Yao Ji and Nu Wa.
“Children, what exactly happened? Weren’t you dead? How could you…”
Ting Yu trailed off, but Yao Ji knew what she wanted to ask.
“Mother, Master saved me!”
Hearing this, Ting Yu became even more confused.
“Master? What master? When did you become a disciple? How come I didn’t know!”
Yao Ji had no choice but to explain to Ting Yu.
“Mother, my Master is the Saint Father Taishang! Saint Father Taishang not only saved me but also accepted me as his disciple!”
After Yao Ji finished speaking, Nu Wa also chimed in:
“Yes, Mother, it’s the same for me. Master not only saved me but also accepted me as his disciple!”
Hearing this, Ting Yu became extremely emotional. Shen Nong had contributed greatly to the human race, so why had Yao Ji and Nu Wa died young? It turned out to be retribution here.
Ting Yu immediately bowed to Taishang again.
“Many thanks to Saint Father for saving my children!”
Taishang waved his horsetail whisk, stopping Ting Yu from bowing.
“Ting Yu, there’s no need for such formality. Shen Nong has made immense contributions to the human race, so it is only right to save Nu Wa and Yao Ji. As for accepting them as disciples, it is because they have a karmic affinity with this humble one.”
After Taishang finished speaking, Yuan Shi also came to Ting Yu’s side.
“Ting Yu, your body was forged by my Elder Brother using the Yellow Middle Plum and the subterranean fire and magma beneath this Huoyun Cave. Although you became a Da Luo with the help of the Yellow Middle Plum, you possess cultivation but lack profound techniques. Now, I shall impart to you the Jade Purity Imperial Fire True Scripture. You must make good use of it!”
As Yuan Shi finished speaking, he pointed a finger at Ting Yu’s brow.
As Yuan Shi’s finger touched Ting Yu’s brow, a scripture appeared in her mind.
After Yuan Shi finished, he returned to Taishang’s side.
“Elder Brother, how was it? Not bad, right? You saved people, and I imparted the Dharma. It’s not in vain that the human race calls me Saint Father, is it?”
Taishang smiled without speaking, merely giving Yuan Shi a thumbs-up.
Seeing Taishang’s gesture, Yuan Shi raised his own thumb and looked around, unable to figure out what Taishang meant.
After a while, Ting Yu absorbed the Jade Purity Imperial Fire True Scripture imparted by Yuan Shi and also came back to her senses.
Ting Yu immediately went before Taishang and Yuan Shi and respectfully bowed to Yuan Shi.
“Many thanks to Saint Father. Ting Yu will surely make good use of it.”
Yuan Shi nodded with satisfaction. Taishang, seeing that Ting Yu had been resurrected, knew it was time for them to leave. Therefore, Taishang said to Fuxi:
“Fuxi, after today, Ting Yu will have achieved complete merit and will cultivate in Huoyun Cave!”
Then Taishang said to Ting Yu:
“Ting Yu, Shen Nong still has a great responsibility. Everyone in the world may know of your resurrection, but Shen Nong must not. Remember this! Remember this!”
After speaking, Taishang and Yuan Shi disappeared before everyone’s eyes.
After Taishang disappeared, his voice echoed in the sky above Huoyun Cave:
“Yao Ji, Nu Wa, if you sisters wish to remain in Huoyun Cave or return to Kunlun, the choice is yours.”
Hearing this, everyone immediately bowed towards the spot where Taishang and Yuan Shi had stood.
“We respectfully send off the two Saint Fathers!”
After everyone stood up, Fuxi immediately smiled and said:
“Congratulations to Daoist Friend Ting Yu on achieving complete merit and ascending to the position of Human Sage Ancestor of Huoyun Cave!”
Ting Yu was startled and quickly replied:
“Your Majesty the Human Emperor speaks too highly!”
However, Fuxi smiled and said:
“Not too highly! Not too highly! You do not know Shen Nong’s identity. Since you have entered Huoyun Cave, it is time for you to know!”
Hearing Fuxi mention Shen Nong, Ting Yu immediately asked in confusion:
“Your Majesty the Human Emperor, what other identity does Shen Nong have?”
Fuxi shook his head and smiled, immediately saying:
“Perhaps you do not know, but our human race has three emperors. I am the Human Emperor, Shen Nong is the Earth Emperor, and the Human Emperor is Xuanyuan, the lord of the Xuanyuan tribe. Since I am from Saint Taihao, I can enjoy the position of Human Emperor without hardship or difficulty. As for Shen Nong and Xuanyuan, if they wish to become the Earth Emperor and Human Emperor, they will have to endure much hardship. Your family has suffered so much, which is the heavens testing Shen Nong!”
Hearing this, Ting Yu finally understood. She never thought that her family’s suffering and separation were all because of Shen Nong’s position as the Earth Emperor!
Ting Yu sighed. It was truly difficult for Shen Nong. She only hoped that he would return to his rightful position soon so that their family could be reunited!
