Chapter 453: Yuanshi

Nuwa's gaze was calm as she retorted: "Senior Brother Taishang, the cause of the Investiture of the Gods comes from the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect. You might as well let Yuanshi Tianzun abandon the Twelve Golden Immortals of Jade Void to end this Great Calamity at the source, rather than letting the human race and thousands of living beings bear it."

Taishang Laojun frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Beside him, Yuanshi Tianzun's face instantly turned gloomy, glaring at Nuwa.

"Nuwa, what do you mean by this? My Chan Sect's Twelve Golden Immortals all have excellent foundations and deep blessings, yet you want me to abandon them; this is simply absurd!"

Yuanshi Tianzun was so angry that his whole body trembled slightly, the power of a Saint surging on his body, the vast holy might sweeping out, causing the surrounding space to vibrate, annihilate, and be quickly swallowed by the Chaos.

Jieyin Daoist and Zhunti Daoist looked at each other, knowing well that the Investiture of the Gods Great Calamity was an opportunity to split the Three Pure Ones and weaken the three sects, and also an opportunity for the Western Sect to rise; they could not let Nuwa ruin their plans, so they began to echo him.

"Nuwa, this Investiture of the Gods Great Calamity is truly the heavenly number; it cannot be blamed on the Chan Sect. As a Saint of the Heavenly Dao, you should follow the heavenly number and not intervene in this matter," said Jieyin Daoist.

Zhunti Daoist put his hands together and echoed from the side: "Nuwa, the Investiture of the Gods is the trend of the times. Senior Brother Yuanshi using the human world to complete the Investiture of the Gods is all to eliminate the worldly karma that caused the Great Calamity."

"The human race is currently the protagonist of the world, with a large population. Being able to participate in this Great Calamity to eliminate worldly karma and contribute to the operation of the Heavenly Dao is also a matter of great merit. Why be so calculating? It is better for everyone to work together to successfully complete the Investiture of the Gods, so that the Primordial can return to peace sooner."

Before Nuwa could speak, Suiren, among the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, looked at Jieyin and Zhunti and spoke first.

"Two Saints, the Chan Sect has unprovokedly brought the flames of the Investiture of the Gods war into the human world and involved the human race. We do not think it is a blessing for the human race to be forced into it. We only know that because of the Chan Sect, the human world is currently in constant war and suffering. We will not sit idly by regarding this matter."

Fuxi's gaze was peaceful as he glanced at Nuwa.

He was very surprised that Nuwa would come and help Tong Tian.

Especially since there was a young man with a transcendent temperament standing beside Nuwa.

He had never seen him before.

He planned that if they, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, were still safe after today,

he would ask Nuwa about Gu Xiu's identity when she came to the Fire Cloud Cave.

Gu Xiu stood beside Nuwa, noticing Fuxi's gaze looking over, and looked up, revealing a kind smile.

He thought to himself.

Is this Fuxi? Apart from Nuwa, he was the one with the best chance to become a Saint of the Human Dao.

As a result, as the head of the Three Sovereigns, he only ended up as a Quasi-Saint.

Fuxi saw Gu Xiu respond and also smiled back, then withdrew his gaze.

He looked at Taishang Laojun, Yuanshi Tianzun, Jieyin, and Zhunti, and said slowly.

"Fellow Saints, the matter of the Investiture of the Gods is originally a matter of the three sects. My view is the same as the Suiren Emperor's: involving the human race is not a blessing for the human race. I hope the three sects can resolve it themselves. If the Chan Sect insists on involving the human race, although our human race has meager strength, we will never sit still and wait for death."

Jieyin Daoist and Zhunti Daoist looked at each other slightly.

Neither of them expected the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to be so tough.

In that case, the plan for the Investiture of the Gods might not be easy.

Seeing the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors speak out in opposition, Yuanshi Tianzun's face became even uglier.

"Hmph, the Investiture of the Gods is an act in accordance with the Heavenly Dao; is it something you can influence? You are the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, yet you do not know that the trend cannot be changed. Your resistance is nothing but a mantis trying to stop a chariot."

Yuanshi Tianzun's holy power surged, his majestic gaze sweeping toward the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, as if looking down at ants.

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were not intimidated by Yuanshi Tianzun's momentum, their expressions firm.

Then, they exchanged glances.

In their endless years of being together, just by looking at each other's eyes, they knew what the other was thinking; no one compromised.

Fuxi spoke.

"It seems the Chan Sect insists on involving the human race in the Investiture of the Gods. For the sake of the human race, we, as the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the ancestors of human culture, will defend the dignity of our human race even if we have to exhaust our last breath."

Previously, Fuxi had calculated that the human race would face an unprecedented calamity, and if not handled well, it would affect the future direction of the human race.

But he had never been able to calculate the specific cause.

Now he was almost certain that this calamity came from the Investiture of the Gods Great Calamity.

But he was still very confused; this was clearly a calamity of the three sects. Even if the human race was involved, it would just mean some people dying; it should not be as bad as the Wu-Demon Great Calamity. How could it be an unprecedented calamity for the human race?

Yuanshi Tianzun did not take the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors seriously at all.

Not to mention that what came here was not their true bodies; even if their true bodies came, it would just be a bit of trouble.

He looked at Gu Xiu and finally landed on Nuwa: "Nuwa, is your attitude the same?"

Nuwa did not answer immediately, turning her head slightly, her gaze landing on Gu Xiu, able to remain calm even when facing the Saints.

Recalling Gu Xiu's confident appearance when he came, it seemed he really had a trump card she didn't know about.

Sensing Nuwa's gaze, Gu Xiu looked up and revealed a smile.

Nuwa sneered, withdrew her gaze, looked at Yuanshi Tianzun, and said slowly.

"Yuanshi Tianzun, my attitude remains that the dispute of the three sects should not implicate the innocent, and you should not let Di Xin go to the Fire Cloud Cave." Although her tone was light, it carried an unquestionable majesty.

"Very well!" Yuanshi Tianzun suppressed the rage in his heart: "Nuwa, it seems you insist on standing on Tong Tian's side. My Chan Sect's Twelve Golden Immortals have a killing calamity on them and urgently need to be resolved. This Investiture of the Gods is a fixed matter. If you insist on intervening, will this Venerable be afraid of you? Let us see the truth in action!"

Boom!

Vast holy might erupted from Yuanshi Tianzun, terrifying power sweeping out, as if to completely crush the surrounding Chaos... ===== CHAPTER 454 =====
