Chapter 610

A few words, and the entire Lingxiao Baodian fell so silent a dropped needle could be heard.

Everyone understood.

This was to bind the human race, the sacred objects, and even the cause and effect of Saint Nüwa, all onto the Yao Clan's war chariot!

"Good! Good! Good!" Di Jun said "good" three times in a row; he sprang to his feet, striding with dragon steps and tiger tread to the center of the great hall, and the majestic voice belonging to the Heavenly Emperor instantly spread across the Three Realms.

"Proclaim Our decree!"

"Today We enfeoff the Human Ancestor of Writing Cangjie as Our Heavenly Court's 'Nine Heavens Human Dao Protector of the Teaching True Lord', rank equal to a Yao Saint, to hold the Human Teaching's instruction and command the myriad people!"

"Bestow! A Postnatal Merit Supreme Treasure — the 【Human Creation Whip】!"

The moment the decree descended.

In the Western Wasteland, above that human youth Cangjie's head, boundless fortune gathered.

A verdant vine whip coiled with endless creative qi tore open the void and slowly fell into his hand.

Simultaneously, a vast fortune golden dragon's power originating from the Yao Clan Heavenly Court blessed his body, causing his aura to surge violently once more!

Mid-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal!

Late-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal!

Feeling the vast power within his body and the sacred object in his hand that seemed connected to his own bloodline, Cangjie wept until his face was covered in tears.

He faced the direction of the Nine Heavens above and kowtowed deeply.

"Cangjie receives the decree!"

"The human race is willing to fight to the death for the Heavenly Court!"

Having done all this, Di Jun's gaze fell upon the assembled Yao gods below, poised and ready, murderous intent fully revealed in his eyes.

"Bai Ze, hear the command!"

"Your subject is here!"

"We appoint you as 'Subduing Demons Grand Marshal', Sheep Emperor as Military Advisor, Ji Meng and Ying Zhao as Left and Right Deputy Generals; muster the Xinghe naval forces and the Celestial Stars — ten million Yao Clan elite in total!"

"Target —"

Di Jun drew the Imperial Sword at his waist, pointing straight at the Blood Sea below, voice icy to the bone.

"Blood Sea!"

"Flatten it for Us!"

"Obey the decree!"

Ten million Yao gods roared in unison, the sound shaking the Nine Heavens!

The next moment, the Nan Tian Men swung wide open.

Clouds of Yao covering the sky and blotting out the sun rolled down from above the Thirty-Three Heavens.

One massive warship after another, forged from Star Essence Gold, crushed the void as they pressed mightily toward that filthy Blood Sea!

……

At the edge of the Blood Sea.

Minghe Laozu was watching those vine barriers that had encircled the human tribes, jumping with rage.

He brought out the Yutu and Aobi Swords, hacking with combined force, yet could not leave even a trace on the barrier.

"Nüwa! You vile woman! You dare ruin my plans!" Minghe screamed in fury.

Just then, he abruptly raised his head, his expression changing drastically.

He saw the sky turn black.

Not dark clouds, but the boundless Yao Clan army — tens of thousands of star warships!

Those three hundred sixty-five Heavenly Star Main Banners flickered in and out of the Yao clouds, drawing on the celestial starlight, transforming into a brilliant Xinghe that pressed down all the filthy qi of the entire Blood Sea.

At the forefront on the Nine Dragons Sandalwood Palanquin, Di Jun wore the Nine Dragon Imperial Robe, held the Imperial Sword, and gazed down with ice-cold eyes, as if looking at a dead man.

"Minghe, your death has come."

Minghe froze for a moment, then burst into earth-shaking wild laughter.

"Hahaha! Di Jun, just you?!"

He stomped his foot hard, and the entire Blood Sea boiled completely!

"Asura Clan, where are you?!"

"Roar!!!"

Millions, tens of millions, even hundreds of millions of Asura Clan surged from the viscous Blood Sea into the sky, forming a blood-colored ocean that faced off distantly against the Xinghe above the Nine Heavens.

A great battle, on the verge of erupting!

……

Above the Nine Heavens, in the Chaos Depths.

Inside Zixiao Palace, ancient and undisturbed.

Hongjun Daozu half-opened his eyes, looking down upon the surging boundless fortune across the Honghuang Dadi.

The Yao Clan Heavenly Court's golden fortune golden dragon and that newly born yet incomparably pure and resilient Human Innate Mysterious Yellow Fortune were intertwining and fusing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Even the scales on the golden dragon seemed plated with a layer of heavy Human Dao radiance.

And at the other end, the Wu Clan's towering Pangu phantom — the Earth Turbid Evil Qi beneath its feet — linked with the Blood Sea's filthy, evil karmic fortune, twisting together into a ferocious Asura Devil Shadow.

Heaven and Human join; Earth and Demon connect.

Clearly divided, murderous intent laid bare.

"Interesting."

A thought devoid of any emotion reverberated within Zixiao Palace.

Hongjun's gaze settled upon that Human Dao fortune linked with the Yao Clan's fortune.

Nüwa's intervention, sheltering the human race, was beyond his expectations, yet also within reason.

After all, that was her Sanctification Foundation, where her Dao lay; she could not possibly sit by and watch it be annihilated.

But, that anomaly named "Taiyi" actually managed to seize this opportunity to bind the Qi Luck of the human and Yao clans so tightly together, establishing the so-called Human Teaching — this truly was beyond his expectations.

Yet it still remained within his control.

The Human Dao...

In the depths of Hongjun's eyes, a trace of extremely subtle ripples flashed.

Since the opening of heaven and earth, the Heavenly Dao has hung high, the Earthly Dao is the foundation.

When has there ever been mention of a "Human Dao"?

However...

The Human Dao could yet emerge in response to the times after the Heavenly Dao.

Gradually growing into a force standing on equal footing with the two Daos of Heaven and Earth.

This... far exceeded the limits of what Hongjun could tolerate.

But the current situation is different; now the human race's Qi Luck is deeply bound with the Yao clan's, and under the predetermined Great Trend of the Quantity Calamity, the Yao clan is destined to head toward defeat.

In a certain sense, the Yao clan's decline means the human race's Qi Luck will inevitably fall with it — this also counts as indirectly achieving his goal of suppressing the Human Dao and maintaining the Heavenly Dao's supreme absolute dominance.

"The Human Dao... is the Future Path; the Yao clan has overstepped a bit."

Hongjun closed his eyes once more.

But it matters not; as long as he is one with the Heavenly Dao, wielding the Great Trend, whether Yao, Wu, human, or Mo, they are all merely Chess Pieces on his board, placed to drive the Quantity Calamity.

The more tragic and chaotic this struggle, the clearer he can see those things hidden beneath the surface.

As for who wins or loses...

The Heavenly Dao never cares.

At the same time.

At Kunlun Mountain Jade Void Palace, Yuanshi Tianzun let out a cold snort, flicked his sleeves, and entered seclusion — out of sight, out of mind.

In his view, the conflict between the Yao clan and that karmic evil Mo was merely a collision of filth with filth, not worth a laugh.

Inside Qing Dynasty, Tongtian Jiaozhu brought out a wine jar and watched the lower realm with great interest, only fearing the fight wouldn't be lively enough.

At Xihu Sumeru Mountain, Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance, both seeing four words in the other's eyes —

"Opportunity Has Come."
