Chapter 202: with translation of chapter title

~12 min read 2,290 words

Honghuang World, an unnamed external enemy invasion, unnamed demon god forces, and the named entity Demon Ancestor Rahu.

Fuxi Great Sage.

The myriad gods; Honghuang World is not mentioned again. Also, he refers to Fuxi.

Demon Ancestor Rahu, Honghuang World.

Xihuang.

Great Luo is a cultivation realm; not a named entity per se but could be considered a term. However the glossary didn't include Great Luo. It's a cultivation realm; we should translate meaning: "Great Luo". Since it's a term, we should not list in glossary unless it's a named entity like a place. The instruction: List every named entity / coined term in these lines: characters (including protagonist & minor ones), places, sects/clans/factions/peoples, official & sect ranks/titles, techniques, cultivation realms/pills/treasures, named beasts/items, fan-fiction names. So cultivation realms count. So we need to list Great Luo as "Great Luo". Also Honghuang overall situation is not a name.

Primordial Divine Sages maybe a title; but it's a description. Not a specific name.

Fuxi Great Sage.

brother? not needed.

Nüwa the Holy Saint nodded repeatedly, showing agreement—indeed they are siblings, they have tacit understanding, "I also think so!"

"Just the Demon Ancestor Rahu's power is immeasurably profound; only Pangu the Great God can suppress and subdue this world-shaking demon... The divine ability he displayed at his last moments of life—how could we easily break it?" Golden Mother Yuanjun shook her head, not optimistic.

"This vast Honghuang, there naturally exists enduring righteous vigor; evil will surely be defeated by justice." Lesser Yang Emperor repaired his broken body, struggled to stand up again, his vitality tenacious beyond belief, "The method definitely exists; we just haven't thought of it yet."

Hongjun Dao Friend, possibly meaning 'Daoist Friend Hongjun', is a form of address, not a named entity; it's a title with the name Hongjun, and 'Dao Friend' is just that.

Dao Friend not needed.

Lesser Yang Emperor.

"Don't do it! Don't do it!" Hongjun Dao Ancestor greatly startled, hurried forward a step, with both hands supporting him, letting this emperor straighten his body, "I act for the will of the Heavenly Dao; this is naturally my duty to bear responsibility—what pointing?"

"Besides, I indeed have some ideas, but they are merely a catalyst... still need everyone's wisdom to help, to perfect it."

Fuxi Great Sage, Dao Friend.

Dao Ancestor (referring to Hongjun).

"My method isn't particularly marvelous... after all, it's merely patching the heaven-and-earth loophole torn open by this demon ancestor—just slapping on a patch for cultivating the demonic tribulation."

"In fact, it cannot once and for all completely solve the problem."

Hongjun.

Rahu Demon Ancestor, same as earlier.

none

"However, solving part of the problem is still doable."

"Other realms are easy to say; with everyone's wisdom, we can create unsurpassed profound divine abilities, passing them down to Sect Disciples, letting them eliminate inner demons and subdue outer demons... but the key is still the qualitative breakthrough to reach the Great Luo." Dao Ancestor said, "Those who can become such cultivators' obstacles to the Dao will necessarily be the Demon Lord and Demon King personally arriving; this cannot be dealt with by mere divine abilities—we must also personally be present to resist."

"This is too passive, the initiative completely handed over." Hongjun sighed lightly, "Moreover, when a cultivator attains the Dao in an instant, penetrating infinite time and space... this is the most glorious moment, and also the most dangerous."

"For the Demon Lord who seeks to block the Dao, this means countless loopholes!"

"We want perfect protection, but it's unrealistic... but!"

"We can change our approach, preparing defenses in advance!"

"Before Sect Disciples attain the Dao, we will beforehand prepare defenses for them, establishing the strongest protection in infinite time and space!"

"The Dao Ancestor's eyes gleamed bright, that is the light of wisdom, able to astonish the ages."

"I intend to create such a method—discerning how the demon ancestor's later moves bore loopholes in this heaven and earth, how they affect individual cultivators; and proactively condense them into a seal."

Great Luo Heavenly Will maybe a term.

"If the Demon Lord personally comes to block the Dao, then this defense can take effect..."

Hongjun.

The myriad gods, Myriad Heavens and Myriad Worlds, endless time-space (generic).

Great merit (merit is in the glossary).

"Fuxi the Great Sage clapped without cease, 'It is destined to become the supreme method inscribed through past, present, and future... I wonder, fellow Daoist, what name would you give this method?'"

"Hmm..." Hongjun frowned slightly, pondered briefly, "The demon ancestor brings calamity to all beings, seeking to sever the Dao... as the saying goes, the Dao gives birth to One; One gives birth to Two; Two gives birth to Three; Three gives birth to all things."

The Great Dao (in the glossary).

"But my method aims to break the greatest life-and-death tribulation, to step over the heavenly chasm between Great Luo and non-Great Luo, thereafter eternally free of tribulation, transcendent above."

Three Corpses Method maybe a technique name; should be listed as 'Three Corpses Method'. Also Three Corpses.

Three Corpses, the Great Dao.

Great Luo Heavenly Will, Great Divine Ability Person (generic), Primordial Spiritual Treasure (generic), Sea of Demon Ancestor's Calamities maybe.

none

The myriad gods.

"Afterward, they began to join hands in discussing this method, considering how to optimize it."

none

Fengxi (protagonist, in the glossary).

Fengxi, Buzhou Pillar, Hongjun Dao Ancestor's Daoist temple, Jade Capital Mountain.

"Insufficient strength; some who wanted to join in the excitement couldn't even manage."

"At most, afterwards, they could only get a vague idea from the sidelines."

"For example, Fengxi learned from some rumors——"

Jade Capital Mountain.

Hongjun Dao Ancestor, Primordial Divine Sages.

Immortal Wine Divine Fruit maybe a named item. Also cosmic situation (generic), profound mysteries of the Great Dao (generic).

Peach Orchard, Pantao Spiritual Root, Daoist temple again, Peach Satiated Member, not needed.

Cosmic situation (generic).

Fengxi also roughly could guess a little…… The Dragon-Phoenix Great Tribulation ended, but it hasn't completely ended.

Some karma remained into the next era, perhaps that is the cause of the Lich Great Tribulation!

The great divine beings did not thoroughly discuss among themselves, leading to another round of factional struggle for dominance.

The mighty banded together, in the Honghuang world passionately clashing and fighting to the death, Daluo dying one by one, even the heavenly pillar of Mount Buzhou was not safe.

After the Lich era, whoever tries to go against the flow of time to witness history cannot stand at the foot of Mount Buzhou.

After all, the head of Gonggong Zuwu... that is truly hard!

Fengxi's heart stirred with a disrespectful thought, pondering what Gonggong Zuwu's forehead was made of; suddenly his heart skipped a beat, and the entire witch's breath halted.

"Wait... after the Lich, will there be another era?"

A chill rose to Fengxi's heart.

As a very special shaman, a little shaman who knows much, even surpassing many Daluo, Fengxi shuddered without cold.

He abruptly raised his head, gazing at the starry sky of the universe, the four extremes and eight wildernesses.

This is the final twilight of the Dragon-Phoenix era.

From time to time, one could see Daluo divinities busily toiling, repairing mountains and rivers.

Factional bloodbaths, righteous vs. evil wars... the destruction to Honghuang is gruesome, the harm to all living beings severe.

Thus, it is again time for the land-cleansing segment that all beings love to hear and eagerly await.

The shattered heaven and earth are being reorganized; except for places where Daluo Dao traces are too severe, the remaining mountains and rivers are largely restored to wholeness.

The living beings slain by the residual waves, under the skillful hands of the immensely compassionate and merciful Wa Huang, successfully reversed life and death, thus continuing their existence—this proficient business sometimes makes Fengxi wonder whether this exalted goddess has some unclear, ineffable relationship with the august Houtu.

Otherwise, how could one be so proficient in the attainment of life and death reincarnation?!

And to carry out the work most efficiently, to repair the smashed jars in the shortest time, to use manpower and material resources most perfectly... obviously, an institution is needed to preside, with a top-notch Wise Man responsible for operation.

This institution is temporary.

The Wise Man leader who presides over affairs also holds a temporary position.

After all, many mighty beings are not entirely convinced of each other—although they can fight side by side against the demon ancestor.

But after defeating the demon ancestor, everyone will have to properly reason things out.

Of course, considering Honghuang's devastation, they still suppressed their restless spirits, taking responsibility for the world and for all beings.

Thus, finally, a temporary organization governing the universe, the Heavenly Court, was established—a person of utmost virtue, who had tirelessly worked to prevent demon calamities, participated least in the Dragon-Phoenix Great Tribulation, maintained good relations with many mighty beings, received widespread acclaim and was not greedy for power—a figure replete with holiness—Fuxi, who assumed the temporary leadership of this organization.

Fuxi the Great Sage has little authority; mainly he proposes suggestions and harmonizes relations among the gods, striving to govern and develop Honghuang heaven and earth so that it may recover to its prime as swiftly as possible.

Afterwards, having accomplished his task, he will retire, dissolve this temporary institution, and return the stage to the gods.

Perhaps this is the harmonious historical truth briefly mentioned in the *Honghuang Chronicles* written by the Yao Marshal Báizé that Fengxi once saw—

"After long years of war, myriad races and all beings long for peace."

"When the time comes, the divine Fuxi gains the support of all gods, establishes the Heavenly Court, serves as the first Holy Emperor leader, enforces benevolent governance, and thus Honghuang attains great peace!"

As for why it was erased... perhaps some ancestor witch held a strong private opinion against Fuxi the Great Sage and simply harmonized this brief history.

However, Fengxi no longer has spare mood to consider these peripheral details.

Because, as he gazes upon this Honghuang universe, many memory fragments begin to reorganize in his mind; a most terrifying conjecture slowly rises from his heart, causing his pupils to contract and his limbs to turn icy cold.

Fengxi's personal experiences, the various strange encounters of the shaman's life;

Xihuang's personal instruction to him, the covert care bestowed by Di Jiang Zuwu;

The three-virtue Dao fruit he still retains, and in the future he will achieve perfect Holy Emperor status by possessing all five virtues;

After descending into this era, hearing Pangu the Great God's personal account—time flows, the boundless calamity will eventually arrive;

For the survival of the Honghuang universe, a great wise one will raise Pangu's banner, letting the spirit of this supreme divinity revive in the direst reality, guiding beings through the perilous tribulation…

"Very good."

"This is all correct."

Fengxi covered his face.

The great wise one, Fuxi the Great Sage certainly counts as one.

Pangu's spirit?

The Five Virtues Great Dao also seems roughly suitable.

In summary, it is the most far-sighted divinity of Honghuang heaven and earth—Fuxi the Great Sage, who once predicted the demon ancestor's calamity and contributed the crucial force therein—who is once again busily engaged in saving the world.

As for why he does not speak it out, to draw the attention of other mighty beings?

Perhaps because this calamity seems too distant, just as in the past, not valued by the high ranks of the two Dragon-Phoenix factions… and it might even be blamed, said to harbor ill intent.

Therefore, this mighty being can only silently make preparations, lest the situation deteriorate to the worst, so that the boundless calamity may arrive!

Fengxi finds it somewhat hard to accept.

Originally he thought it was the Lich war, but now he is told that the gravity of the issue is even more insane—any misstep could trigger the boundless calamity!

But upon serious reflection, it seems quite reasonable?

The conflict of the Lich era can be even more intense than the Dragon-Phoenix age!

It carries over the grudges and feuds of the previous era, adding fresh ideological rifts… the war situation could escalate entirely possible!

In fact, those various legends also, from a side, corroborate something.

The demon emperor slaughtered until his own lineage was cut off; a supremely mighty ancestor witch, grief-stricken, crashed into the mountain… how frenzied and gruesome!

And on such a foundation, if demonic arts were to wreak havoc?

Heaven and earth, all beings—the misery they will face is easy to imagine!

No wonder a great wise one like Fuxi the Great Sage would furtively raise Pangu's great banner, reaching a tacit understanding with equally far-sighted ancestor witches, working covertly, preparing in advance, laying backup plans, just in case, so that when Honghuang collapses on its own, he can swiftly have a top-tier savior to take over.

This is the most crucial insurance!

It is the trump card that, at the most perilous moment, can guarantee Honghuang's survival and withstand the boundless calamity!

"Gurgle."

Fengxi swallowed dryly a mouthful of saliva.

He just became, out of nowhere, the one who bears the hopes of the entire Honghuang Village... This left him feeling a bit dizzy.

"This pot... the hope is too heavy, I feel I can't bear it!"

"In times of danger, step forward, restore the mountains and rivers, trample the Great Calamity, and discuss the Dao with the three thousand Chaos demon gods..."

"Huh?!"

"Why does my heart suddenly feel a sense of mission? An urge to try? And I feel my hands itching?"

Fengxi was stunned.

Upon self-examination, he discovered... that he didn't reject it from the bottom of his heart, and was quite willing to accept such a challenge.
