Chapter 1776

Zhang Taixuan: "The 【Houtu-exclusive red packet】—the treasure designed to carry the Earth Dao—has been completed."

Su Xiao: "So fast?"

Xiao Mai: "You can accelerate time, and besides, time flows differently across the realms."

【Ding, Houtu claimed Zhang Taixuan's red packet.】

Houtu: "Chaos Divine Artifact?!!"

Su Xiao: "Wah wah wah, Brother Taixuan, what are you doing? How did you even forge something of this rank? This is way too much of a loss."

Zhang Taixuan: "How is it a loss? It must carry a Dao—too weak won't do. Besides, when the Wheel of Reincarnation Tower fuses with Heaven and Earth, I'll gain the right to contemplate the Three Thousand Divine Demon Dao Fruits."

Su Xiao: "Eh? You just said that out loud!"

Xiao Mai: "Can you really just say something like that outright?"

Xiao Yan: "Didn't Brother Taixuan never hide anything to begin with?"

Ye Hei: "That's true."

Houtu: "No problem. It's just one more person contemplating—it's not a big deal. Besides, we still need a Dao Lord to hold the line!"

Nüwa: "I'm jealous. Why is this happening? I was planning to go to Mount Shouyang to find the human race's ultimate treasure, the Kongtong Seal! Yet Houtu-sister already got her hands on a Chaos Divine Artifact. Now, won't my Human Dao be at a disadvantage?"

Nüwa: "Dao Lord, could you help me forge one as well?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Of course."

Nüwa: "What's the cost?"

Zhang Taixuan: "I'm human, after all. This time, I won't charge you."

Su Xiao: "Nüwa Mama, isn't this a great deal? 【Winking】"

Nüwa: "Mama?!?! Do you have any idea what you just said?!"

Xiao Mai: "But it's the truth. 【Defiantly】"

Nüwa: "I'm the Holy Mother of the Human Race!! Holy Mother isn't Mama!! 【Slams table】"

Xiao Yan: "It's basically the same. 【Watching the show】"

Nüwa: "..."

Nüwa: "... Talking to you humans is exhausting! Fine, I'm going to find materials."

Nüwa: "Also, I've already settled things with the Three Pure Ones."

Su Xiao: "Settled? Wait, won't the Three Pure Ones betray us?"

Houtu: "Probably not. If they side with Hongjun, Hongjun won't give them any benefits. Only by cooperating with us can they gain the primordial creation of Honghuang. They're not fools—on one side is becoming a saint bound by others' control; on the other, breaking free from control, becoming a saint, and even gaining a chance at transcendence. Anyone with a shred of ambition will choose the latter."

Zhang Taixuan: "Correct. As long as saints don't die, great thieves won't cease. The Three Pure Ones may be mighty, but they can't remain unmoved by the primordial creation of Honghuang. They won't resist this temptation."

Hu Yifei: "With three hundred percent profit, capital dares to trample every law on earth."

Su Xiao: "One-Fei, wasn't that about capital?"

Hu Yifei: "The world may be different, but the principle is the same. The Three Thousand Divine Demon Dao Fruits—how immense is that profit? It's infinite, endless gain!"

Pangu Hall.

Houtu took out the Wheel of Reincarnation Tower, instantly unleashing a powerful aura that swept the hall, drawing the attention of the Twelve Ancestral Wus.

Fortunately, Zhang Taixuan had anticipated this and had already concealed its divine might; otherwise, the moment the tower appeared, the Dao would have sensed it and immediately claimed the Earth Dao, leaving the Twelve Ancestral Wus with nothing.

"Is this a Chaos Divine Artifact?"

"Yes." Houtu nodded. "The Dao Lord has already forged it. Now it's our turn. All twelve of us will imprint our marks into the Wheel of Reincarnation Tower, refining it until we can control it at will. Then we'll wait for Nüwa and the others to prepare, and act together."

"Good."

The Twelve Ancestral Wus gazed at the Wheel of Reincarnation Tower, their confidence growing stronger.

This was a Chaos Divine Artifact!

And what kind of power must the Dao Lord possess to forge such a thing?

Even if the plan fails, someone will cover the base.

This matter is settled.

The Twelve Ancestral Wus imprinted their marks into the Wheel of Reincarnation Tower, and instantly, the tower erupted in blinding light.

Then, the twelve gathered in a circle, placing the tower at the center, and began refining it with focused intent.

In Honghuang, there has always been a saying:

Divine artifacts are easy to obtain; refining them is hard.

Even an ordinary low-grade Primordial Divine Artifact requires immense effort for a Great Immortal to refine to the point of complete mastery.

For mid-grade, high-grade, or even Supreme Treasures, the difficulty rises further.

And Chaos Divine Artifacts stand above all these—refining them is even harder.

Seeing the slow refinement progress, Houtu furrowed her brows, drawing power from the Universe Pagoda and enveloping everyone in its aura.

Instantly, their minds grew calm, their states improved, and the refinement speed began to increase.

On the other side.

Nüwa and Fuxi had just returned to Buzhou Mountain.

"Brother, the Dao Lord forged a Chaos Divine Artifact for Houtu and the others. Let's find some divine materials and ask him to forge one to carry the Human Dao," Nüwa proposed.

Fuxi: "Chaos Divine Artifact? Will the Dao Lord forge one for you?"

Nüwa smiled faintly, her expression unreadable: "I'm the mother of the human race. The Dao Lord said he'd help me once, because of my identity as human."

"Mother of the human race?"

Fuxi stared blankly at his sister—so you've actually become a mother now?

Does that mean I'm an uncle now?

"Since the Dao Lord is so generous, let's go find some materials. No—invite the Three Pure Ones too. We can't let them slack off," Fuxi reminded.

Nüwa nodded: "True enough. Still, they're probably busy proving their Dao right now and have no time to seek divine materials!"

Even so, Nüwa still sent the message out via a jade talisman.
