Chapter 516 Memory(2)_1
In the days that followed, she watched the little child slowly grow up, learn to speak, learn to walk, learn to let go of her hand and walk alone. With him, she was no longer lonely, taking him to see the world she had created. One day, he lay in her arms and said, "Why is it always just the two of us? I want someone to play with me."
She too felt lonely, and so she used her spiritual power to create four more beings, three male and one female. Because they lacked her blood, they were of a much lower grade than him.
Now that there were five of them, it became difficult to tell them apart. So, she gave each of them a name: Hen Xi, Mang Qianjun, Rong Xiu, and Yong Xing. The child who had grown up, now with thoughts of his own, named himself Zi Xiao.
Later, she created many more humans using other materials, men and women, and placed them around the world. Then she created many spiritual beasts. The spiritual beasts had a rapid breeding rate and often set off huge wars. Back then, humans did not know how to cultivate, and countless of the humans she had painstakingly created perished in the wars caused by the spiritual beasts. In order to maintain world stability and peace, she created the Vermilion Bird, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Dark Tortoise. Then she created humans capable of cultivation, and once they grew up, they could fight against the spiritual beasts, and the world finally settled down.
She had expended so much effort in creating this world that, before she knew it, Zi Xiao, Rong Xiu, and the others had grown up quite a bit. One day, Zi Xiao, who appeared to be around ten years old, ran up to her and asked, "Why do the people you create die?"
"Because their lifespans come to an end," she tenderly said, looking at Zi Xiao, the first human being she had created.
Zi Xiao looked at his still short stature and asked, "Why are we four still so small?"
"You were created with my spiritual power, so your growth is much slower," she touched his head and replied.
