Nuwa nodded. She could see that this was Fuxi’s heartfelt respect for her; it seemed the brother she had once known was truly gone. However, as long as Fuxi remained alive, Nuwa’s goal had been achieved. Sometimes, familial affection requires sacrifice; only by letting go can one truly gain. She had discarded her sibling bond with Fuxi, and only by doing so did Fuxi truly become the Heavenly Sovereign. Had she not severed this connection and acknowledged him directly, Fuxi would have been cast into an abyss of eternal doom. He would never have been able to hold the position of Heavenly Sovereign—at the very least, Luohou would never allow a member of the Demon clan to serve as the Human Sovereign.
"Heavenly Sovereign, settle the remaining affairs of the human race and then return to Huoyun Cave. Unless there is a major crisis, you are not to leave," Nuwa said indifferently.
Fuxi bowed respectfully in acknowledgment. Nuwa stepped onto the back of the golden phoenix and departed, not speaking a single word to Dao Ancestor Taiqing during the entire process. Dao Ancestor Taiqing also remained silent, mounting his green ox and leaving as well.
