Chapter 205

Who in the world wouldn't be moved?

Even the ancient god sages, despite any grudges, would nearly have their brains beaten out over this.

But once it involves even a bit of Luo Hou Mozu's world-destruction, their stance instantly straightens—each and every one of them, all for the sake of protecting the safety of the Honghuang cosmos.

What kind of spirit is this?

Fengxi watched, and he was moved.

—How could he not be moved?

As a bystander who witnessed the events, being moved is all that matters.

What "grievance"? I didn't see any of it.

Even if I had seen it……

"I'm illiterate! I can't read!"

Fengxi silently reminded himself to choke off every dangerous thought in his heart.

The ancient god sages always consider problems comprehensively—they have long prepared a full set of punishments for any dangerous thoughts that might arise.

Only what you cannot think of.

Nothing they cannot do.

A big sack, to net all who are discontent, to seek trouble… ah, wrong, it's to collude with the demon ancestor, and the gods can punish them!

Fengxi let it go, from now on he dare not slander the ancient era again.

After all, the lesson of the past cart—even a Great Luo would be drowned in it—

He was fortunate to witness a fragment of that process.

The grandest mighty power spreads through the ages, flowing out from that collapsed gate and pervading the entire Shijian Changhe.

Through a spray of flying wave, Fengxi dimly saw the figure of that Great Luo in a span of history, shattering and withering like a bubble.

Once a lighthouse that could illuminate endless spacetime, it is now extinguished.

And this is far from being the only one.

A Great Luo, a progenitor of the Opposing Dao—his entire life's traces… will be completely erased at this moment!

The gods shall punish them.

Since it is to punish,

then naturally it must be a thorough punishment!

The Zhou Tian Star-Dou Grand Formation, the All-Heaven Gods-and-Demons Grand Formation… the power of these two formations is unquestioned.

Even if an Opposing Dao Great Luo struggles with all his might, the result is already destined.

At most, it's just setting off a big fireworks to prove he once existed.

Thus.

The gate of spacetime shattered, dark currents surged, huge waves rose to the sky, pouring over Fengxi from head to toe, chilling his body and heart.

"Alas… a Great Luo ends up like this."

"The Opposing Dao is risky!"

"Spend a lifetime opposing, you never know where you'll trip… so in life, it's rare to be muddled."

"Great wisdom appears foolish, truly not deceiving me!"

"Always feeling smarter than everyone, that the world is drunk while I alone am sober… only to suddenly look back and realize it's not others who are drunk, but myself."

Fengxi felt a sorrowful ache.

He looked at the distant river where residual waves raged and huge waves surged, shook his head, and turned to leave.

But just as Fengxi was about to leave, he discovered he was enveloped by a terrifying, mighty force that was dragging him toward the place where that Great Luo courted death.

If he tried to go against it, each motion would consume an enormous amount of energy.

Even as time passed, it increased exponentially, until finally he could not resist at all.

"What the hell!!"

Fengxi widened his eyes, looked back, and found the source.

—A vortex!

An enormous dark-current vortex appeared there!

Unlike the product formed from resetting history, this is purely a natural phenomenon of the Shijian Changhe… it can't even be called a phenomenon, because it is actually a very complex product.

It is a Great Luo tearing the historical curtain, barging through past eras, the ancient god sages enforcing the law, the Opposing Dao progenitor's downfall… and so on, a series of complex factors combined, which by chance gave birth to this spacetime vortex.

As soon as it appears, it is enormous to the extreme, stirring a vast, boundless stretch of the Shijian Changhe.

Endless tapestries of time interweave within it, countless collisions of principles and orders that defy common sense, overlapping like a hodgepodge… merely looking at it, one can feel the sky‑shaking destructive aura at its vortex center, utterly terrifying!

And unfortunately……

Fengxi tragically got dragged in, about to be pulled toward the vortex's center—Heaven knows how dire the consequence will be!

Such a rarity of ages, this strange phenomenon, is not something his puny arms and legs can resist.

Even after Fengxi executed the false Pangu Dharma Aspect, raised his hand and struck with the Nine Axes of Opening Heaven, still failing to carve a path of survival… he realized it was time to seek external aid.

Thus.

He decisively took out a prepared script and began to recite it with feeling.

That is his Killer's Trick, its name is—

I have someone behind me!

"Ah!"

"O Supreme, Greatly Compassionate and Merciful, Utterly Benevolent and Virtuous Houtu!"

"Your most loyal servant, the little shaman, here earnestly calls upon you…"

Someone behind him, Fengxi was very confident.

Directly summon Houtu Ancestral Witch, to come and give him a hand.

However…

As the saying goes, blessings never come alone, misfortunes never come singly.

Something even more unfortunate happened.

After Fengxi finished his recitation, there was no scene of Houtu Ancestral Witch arriving on colorful auspicious clouds to rescue him from deep water.

Just as before, it's still the same.

The only difference, perhaps, is that Fengxi is now closer to the center of the vortex.

"Eh… what's going on?"

Fengxi froze for a moment, then decisively lowered his head, revealing his handsome face.

As a result, he discovered that the mini Houtu on his forehead was flickering, and even when lit, its light was extremely dim—

This situation looks just like a poor signal.

Fengxi was first puzzled.

Immediately after looking at the spacetime great vortex he was in, his mouth twitched, as if he understood something.

The spacetime vortex affects signal stability; his prayers can't be sent out, and Houtu Ancestral Witch can't receive them.

Even if the connection could be completed, there would be an infuriating delay.

"I ￥#@……"

After spitting out a string of fragrant vocabulary, his strong spirit immediately accepted this harsh reality.

"I must save myself!"

He felt himself being swept up by the turbulent river water, heading toward the vortex center where that Great Luo opened the spacetime gate; the power of time acted upon his body, he let out a long sigh, and began to fully arm himself.

Ultimate posture—

The Innate Spiritual Treasure opens at maximum power, protecting the flesh and true spirit; the Luck and Merit System's external plug runs at full power, sensing the river of fortune from afar; three Great Luo Dao Fruits stand ready, the glories of Sage Merit, Merit, and Virtue circulate, and should the most dangerous situation arise, he decisively chooses one to inherit.

These are all the important possessions Fengxi has accumulated since his birth as a witch.

All of it is what he, Feng some person, painstakingly saved up… uh, seems something is off?

"It seems, everything was given by others?"

In the critical moment, a random thought flashed through Fengxi's mind: "It's like receiving New Year's money, being tipped by some big bosses smiling."

"Eh… I haven't even become a Great Luo yet, I can't truly exist transcendent of the Honghuang universe, with heaven and earth destroyed while I remain; in the eyes of those big shots, am I not just a baby who can't stand on his own?"

"This New Year's money, I can take it! I can take it!"

Fengxi was wandering in his thoughts.

Just, as he thought, he discovered something amiss— as he approached the center of the great vortex, a resonance gradually arose between the fortune system and the three Great Luo Dao fruits.

It seemed to be a faint trace of the true and ancient era's aura lingering there, stimulating this strange change.

"Thump-thump!"

Fengxi froze for a moment, then his heart raced wildly, his breathing grew rapid, his eyes widened, and his pupils contracted.

At once, he caught a clue—

The ancient era, the mysteries of fortune, the Dao fruits of the three virtues…… There must be an immensely important relationship among them!

Fengxi felt that he had already stood at a crossroads in life's choices.

Ahead lay a misty expanse.

Only two faintly visible paths.

Break the resonance.

Let the resonance proceed.

Fengxi gazed at the vortex center, already within reach and about to sweep him in and tear him apart; after a brief pondering, he let things take their course.

There was no better way to break the situation.

Might as well anticipate—what surprise could it bring?

And the moment Fengxi was delivered to the vortex's center—

Virtue and fortune…… united in the fierce resonance!

When the incomparably vast and mighty secret power of spacetime and the destructive surge washed over, causing even the innate spiritual treasure, the Nine Nether Diagram, to tremble violently, and the aftershocks bombarded Fengxi's body—

At this moment, a vast fortune that Fengxi dared not even imagine in his daily life poured down from the river of fortune that envelops countless spacetimes, covering and protecting his form, with only a pair of eyes still exposed.

Fortune, originally formless and intangible, was merely a kind of trend-like existence.

But now it had transformed into a tangible form, like a flowing spring, gently and affectionately winding around Fengxi, guarding him.

He seemed to be the master of all fortune in the world!

"This..."

Fengxi was slightly astonished, feeling the resonance of the three five-virtue Dao fruits—sagacity, merit, and morality—and, commanding the fortune system, manifested a brand-new Dao fruit, a brand-new authority.

"The Dao of Fortune!"

With the principle of fortune, inscribe the wisdom of heaven and earth and all beings!

Simply put, this seems not to be much.

Which Great Luo's Dao fruit isn't this mysterious?

But... fortune!

This is something that could cause countless exalted great divine abilities to fight to the death over!

Everyone is contending for fortune, and for this some establish powers, some establish sects, some establish races.

Even using Fengxi's past-life understanding, this fortune can simply and crudely be regarded as wealth, money, resources... with no problem at all.

And now, the appearance of such a Great Luo Dao fruit…… what does it mean?

It is equivalent to someone being able to decide the rules of currency issuance, regulate prices, and grasp market order!

If used properly, it can macro‑regulate economic development…… all the world's hustle and bustle is for profit, huh!

If used improperly?

Hehe.

The outcome will certainly be not wonderful.

The master of such the Great Dao may not necessarily have high combat power.

But there will certainly be many powerful beings willing to give him face.

Likewise.

How many powerful beings are willing to give face, about as many people are eyeing the authority of this the Great Dao.

And at this moment.

Yet it is Fengxi who becomes the master of this the Great Dao!

A Great Luo of the Dao of fortune!

Of course, this is temporary.

He can withdraw at any time, finding himself in a very peculiar state.

Unlike facing the three Dao fruits of sage virtue, merit, and morality…… his former fortune system has already been refined by Fengxi, and at present it is merely briefly stimulated by the three virtues, making it a pseudo‑Great Luo level.

Boundless fortune now seems forged into an eternal immortal vessel, reverently and compliantly bearing his true spirit, empowered with authority, easily standing in an absolutely transcendent level of boundless knowledge.

This is a level that surpasses by countless times even the level of commanding innate spiritual treasures while possessing a Great Luo perspective!

Standing in such a posture, he naturally possesses great might.

Even though he is already at the center of the great vortex, that surging, violent temporal power that could bury everything cannot shake Fengxi in the slightest.

"Xihuang, there is a major problem."

Standing at the Great Luo level, possessing a Great Luo vision, Fengxi drew this conclusion.

In the Sage state, his wisdom seems to have risen as well…… no, it should be said that because his strength has increased, some thoughts dare to move, dare to conceive, without restraint, and combined with his own experiences, he can easily judge what.

He reviews his past life, scene after scene replaying; his deep eyes are unfathomable, overlooking endless spacetime, gazing eternally and indifferently at the turning of ages, transcendent and divine, lofty and ancient beyond compare.

"But I have already entered the game……"

With a soft sigh, "Such a huge investment, this ship is not something I can just say I'll board and actually board."

"A dangerous ship, violent waves…… hard to handle!"

However, although Fengxi sighs, his expression shows little worry or vexation.

"Never mind, never mind……"

"A pawn that has crossed the river is just a pawn that has crossed the river."

"If it weren't for its utilitarian value, how could I have obtained such a huge investment, standing out from countless beings as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, and have hope to aspire to the ultimate cultivation achievement?"

"It's merely mutual use and mutual help…… how many people would wish to obtain my treatment but cannot?"

Fengxi gave a self‑deprecating laugh, "At least I've received sufficient earnest money; I'm not being driven to work for nothing, not even funeral expenses."

"Taking money to do work, equal exchange…… I am still a very trustworthy person!"

Fengxi's smile broke out radiantly.

"Now, let me take a look……"

"Step by step pushing me to this point, possibly even a Great Luo making a sacrifice as a catalyst…… what does it want me to do?"

He raised his hand.

As the terrifying vortex began to contract, in the midst of great collapse and great destruction, a crystal‑clear, jade‑like finger pointed toward the void——

This, however, is the spacetime‑gate opening position that a Great Luo of the Gang Dao has staked his life and long‑sought dream upon.

"Crack!"

It seemed like the correct key, inserted into the keyhole.

The void cracked, and the gate of spacetime reappeared.

However, the other side was very tranquil.

There was no Zhou Tian Star‑Dou Grand Formation, nor the All‑Heaven Gods‑Slaughter Grand Formation.

Fengxi stepped forward, his form covered by waves of fortune, walking into it.

Where was this?

It was a place he was somewhat familiar with.

It was the seven 'wrong' characters written on the ground, seemingly a forbidden land sealing the world‑destroying demon ancestor!

After he left, the spacetime vortex churned for a while, but eventually disappeared.

……

Fengxi walked through the forbidden land.

With each step, he walked very cautiously.

This world was very empty and also very dead silent.

But.

Nevertheless, there were still living beings.

Moreover, there was more than one.

But four.

Fengxi saw them.

They also saw Fengxi.

Someone raised a hand and greeted.

Qi fortune... you finally came!

We, the Five Fortunes Dao Lords, have finally gathered!
