Chapter 399
Chapter Title: Heavenly Realm
Progenitor Goddess Nüwa!
She was one of the Three Sovereigns among the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, revered alongside Fuxi as the creator of humanity. It was said she created humans after the great flood, and there was a legend that when Mount Buzhou collapsed during the battle between Zhurong and Gonggong, she held up the heavens with the legs of a giant turtle.
Because of this terrifying primordial legend of creating humanity, she was often treated as a being on a higher plane than the other Sovereigns and Emperors. There was no audacity whatsoever in Cheon Woo-jin's command to pay respects to the Progenitor Goddess.
But something was off. As a regressor, I could sense it immediately.
Jeon Wook, another of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, had only learned the purpose belatedly with a casual "Why did you summon me?" But Nüwa seemed to know everything and had responded to the summons accordingly. Otherwise, she couldn't have immediately questioned whether I intended to awaken the Seven Luminaries.
Drawing on past experience, I lifted my face and spoke.
"Nüwa! I, the human Baek Woong, have come here to request the liberation of the Moon Luminary. Will you accept the offering I have prepared?"
Nüwa hovered silently in the air for a long time, gazing down at the Heavenly Altar on Mount Tai. Then she replied.
