Chapter 208: with translation of chapter title

The Lord of Calamity Fate spouted nonsense, uttering half a sentence of great truth.

Rahu Demon Ancestor, why was he born?

"I'm really stupid."

"Really."

Fengxi's heart had ten million alpaca Mercedes driving past.

"I only know that many Chaos Demon Gods are incarnations of Grand Luo beings who transcended time and reversed back to Chaos..."

"Also know, they were all cleanly slain by Pangu the Great God, clearing the entire Chaos, preparing to open up Honghuang..."

"I previously thought that Rahu Demon Ancestor's birth was because they were unjustly killed, harboring resentment, a small revenge against Honghuang... human nature, understandable."

"But I never expected..."

"Their maneuvers are actually so sly?"

"Such a heaven-defying Rahu Demon Ancestor, his original intention was actually to specially take the blame?!"

Fengxi felt somewhat unwell all over.

The Ancient God Great Sages' maneuvers are quite sly.

And most importantly... they seem to have been quite successful.

Walking on the Honghuang land, casually ask someone with some basic knowledge—who is the greatest and most evil in heaven and earth?

You'll surely get a consistent reply.

Rahu Demon Ancestor!

After all, just look!

This Demon Ancestor has a glorious experience of destroying worlds, and under his command are many Demon Lords and Demon Kings, who occasionally send forces to obstruct the human path... how hateful!

No matter what problem, it must be caused by Rahu Demon Ancestor.

Ancient God Great Sages?

Each one is glorious and mighty, toiling on the road to exterminate demons, wearing out people's hearts... but alas, the Dao rises one foot, the demon rises ten feet; they have paid much, yet still failed to achieve a decisive victory.

Fengxi's eyes shifted; now that he understood the tactics the top experts were promoting, in practice he could immediately guess roughly...

If the Demon Ancestor does not die, the Demon Sect will not perish; it is destined that from time to time great demonic calamities will erupt, sweeping heaven and earth... In the demonic calamity, only those with deep foundations and ancient transmissions of the Grand Luo Dao lineage can survive; the others?

Heretical paths, cultivating only strength not mind, when encountering the Demon Sect that plays with people's hearts, tragedy isn't that normal?

Even more, some things that the gods find hard to do can be easily handled through the Demon Sect, this extreme organization devoted to great destruction—this is even more handy than temporary workers!

Using too many temporary workers easily undermines organizational prestige.

And the world-destroying great demon chief—the Demon Sect under Rahu Demon Ancestor?

No matter what they do, it is as natural as heaven's law and earth's principle.

The Demon Way, pursuing utmost self... no one understands this lunatic-like collective, what they will do.

Unpredictable, unimaginable, cannot be reasoned with normal thought patterns, to predict their behavior...

Their boss already wants to destroy the world, and you're still lecturing me about principles?

Speak!

You're putting in so much effort to whitewash—are you an undercover agent sent by the Demon Sect?!

……

Fengxi's little head turned, and who knows how many bad ideas just popped up.

He tried to stand from the standpoint of the top experts, and instantly understood the value of destroying this Demon Ancestor, a great scapegoat king.

How many uses can a so-successfully crafted world-destroying Demon Ancestor have?

Purging dissenters, purging loners, purging heretical paths... Fengxi's mind moved, and he immediately came up with hundreds of uses.

In fact, these uses have already taken effect, the biggest one being——

Demon Lords block the Way!

Ordinary cultivators seeking to prove the Dao in Grand Luo have such a heavenly moat existing.

And the way to break through is unique.

Want to join Heaven's Will, yet dare not pick a side, not seek refuge with any expert, swear to run for several eons after joining... and still dare to prove the Dao?

Demon Lords are watching you!

What, why don't the Ancient God Great Sages intervene to intercept?

Ha!

Young person!

You haven't seen the closing of the Dragon-Phoenix Era, that grand, solemn social responsibility lecture?

You haven't heard Dao Ancestor Hongjun say to seek protection from experts, or to entrust one's fate to innate spiritual treasures?

Only with such perfect measures can we Ancient God Great Sages protect you, a novice newcomer, in proving the Dao!

The method is laid out there, you all don't listen or watch... can we be blamed?

"The expert who could come up with this idea, unite the Ancient God Great Sages, and collectively create this imperial scapegoat king, is truly a remarkable existence."

Fengxi sighed in his heart, "Using it to stabilize rule is absolutely top-notch."

"Mm, not just..."

"This big black pot, besides holding trash, can also be used to wield swords unconventionally, as a whetstone, to exert positive benefits."

"For example, when wanting to carry out large-scale construction, having the Demon Ancestor's Demon Sect means you absolutely need not worry about obstructive troubles... send out the Demon Sect's demonic forces to plow the land, then the righteous deities arrive late, spend a little effort to revive the dead, and then you can directly draw on a blank slate, without bearing a bad reputation—all blamed on the Demon Ancestor."

"Another example—when the nation faces many troubles, it rises; with deep worries, sages emerge."

"In the great calamity, what best tempers heroes... and with the Demon Ancestor, demonic calamities aren't just something you can summon at will?"

"Using one demonic calamity, to select outstanding seeds from the Dao lineage, for talent reserves."

There are great heroes and mighty warriors who, at the brink of life and death, can burst forth with the most splendid spiritual radiance, guarding what they wish to guard, repeatedly surpassing their own limits and climbing to the utmost peak of their personal spirit.

There are talents skilled in development and construction, who grasp the great trend, possessing immense wisdom, able to rescue the Dao lineage from ruined wreckage and reestablish it at the peak.

Such talents are not absent in ordinary times… only the pattern within the Dao lineage is stable, with all factions suppressing each other; even great talent gets bound by the original system, making it hard to stretch.

Only the times can forge heroes!

Give them a storm, and even the golden scales will turn into a dragon!

Break the shackles of worldly dust, let an immortal heart illuminate and shatter the mountains and rivers of myriad ages!

"Demonic Sect, if it lies in the grasp of the ancient god sages, then it can allow one's Dao lineage power to at any time undertake a controlled great destruction and great establishment!"

"Let the incompetent step down from the stage, let the excellent rise to take charge of the Dao lineage, let all cultivation resources fall into the hands of the most stunning heroes, rather than being slowly eroded over long years by various disciple-relationship cliques, ultimately harming the great boss at the source—the interests of the ancient god sages."

"Through destruction and establishment, over the long ages to come, the entire Dao lineage will rapidly rise and develop, cultivating excellent talents for the patriarch…"

"And whenever one becomes dull, a whip called the Demonic Tribulation is lashed… and motivation returns."

"Most importantly, the black pot still remains with the Demonic Ancestor."

Do the ancient god sages think this way? Will they act this way?

Most likely they will!

For this is the pattern and vigor that a supreme Dao lineage patriarch should possess; it is truly for the good of disciples and descendants, whipping them to strive forward.

Even if the master-disciple bond is as close as that between parent and child, one must never overindulge… after all, spoiling a child is like killing it.

After teaching them principles and abilities, let them go out and suffer a few rounds of social beatings personally controlled and arranged; only then can they undergo transformation and achieve great growth.

If one has confidence, they can even be made to hover between life and death, truly feeling the preciousness of life… there is great terror between life and death; conquering that fear, who knows how much smoother the path to proving the Dao will become.

Ancient god sages, each a mighty power standing at the pinnacle of heaven and earth, exist in endless spacetime, eternal and free; they have ages upon ages to grow, and countless cases to reference and learn from… for many matters, they naturally know what to do, which is best and most suitable.

Fengxi secretly sighed, these mighty ones are none of them fuel-saving lamps.

Those who dare to look down on them end up dead in ways unknown.

"This world, having light is not enough; there must also be darkness."

"Luóhóu Demonic Ancestor is that darkness arranged by the top mighty ones in tacit agreement… bearing all kinds of sins, whipping humanity forward."

"Interestingly, the black pot is completely borne by this world‑destroying great divine‑ability wielder; all grudges are—grievances have heads, debts have masters—nothing sticks to the ancient god sages, yet they still obtain the fruits they need."

Thinking of this, Fengxi suddenly shuddered, a bone‑deep chill surged to his heart, and his disguise almost failed.

Because at this moment he fully understood the cause of Gangzu's death, clear beyond doubt.

This Great Luo, wanting to delve into the secrets of the Dragon‑Phoenix era and know the Demonic Ancestor's mighty source, has argued to this point—if he doesn't die, who will!

Luóhóu Demonic Ancestor is a white glove used by the top mighty ones and the oldest batch of divinities to control the situation; it belongs to a level where ordinary Great Luos can guess but not speak of, and are not allowed to investigate.

To dare to investigate it, one must prepare for bodily death and Dao extinction.

Fengxi now understood why Gangzu directly threw himself into the deadly standoff between the Zhou Tian Star‑Dou Grand Formation and the Du Tian God‑Slaughter Grand Formation…

Simply because the standoff of the witches and corpses is temporary, while the preservation of the mighty ones' dignity is eternal.

Those standing at the peak are still those who once commanded the wind and clouds and single‑handedly arranged Luóhóu Demonic Ancestor—the great divine‑ability wielders!

They absolutely swear to defend the stability of Luóhóu Demonic Ancestor's 'Pot King' position; anyone who objects shall die!

Even if they are a Great Luo!

Unless one strives with spirit and also struggles to reach the level of great divine‑ability wielders, or has a truly solid backing, makes many friends, knows many divinities, and is accepted into the circle by the oldest batch of ancient god sages, will one, over the long ages, come to understand the truth.

And then be able to alter one's mode of operation, hang a trumpet in the Demonic Sect, and launch a new version of 'Divine grace endless, demonic might boundless'.

Fengxi pondered, having reached this point should count as truly having come out ahead… even a Great Luo is not easy.

Those without qualifications should simply uphold the core spirit of the social moral responsibility lecture staged by the Dragon‑Phoenix era and the innate divinities, and keep to their proper place.

If one does not court death and picks a side in time, no mighty one will deliberately make things difficult for an ordinary Great Luo.

"Myriad ages' epoch, the dark curtains are piled high!"

Fengxi's gaze fell upon the Lord of the Final Fate.

"Looking at it now, most of the history of the Dragon‑Phoenix epoch probably cannot be taken as true. Luóhóu Demonic Ancestor can be so mighty and overbearing, peerless… behind him who knows how many ancient god sages are bowing and exhausting themselves, silently laying the groundwork for him."

"Only then did that Luóhóu Demonic Ancestor carry out a tremendous world‑destroying undertaking, displaying divine might to the fullest."

"In fact, everything of the Demonic Ancestor lies within the grasp of the strongest batch of divinities."

"The Demonic Ancestor, born from the essence of three thousand demons and the obsession to destroy the world…… had no hope of victory from the very start."

"No wonder the River of the Underworld… no, the Lord of the Final Fate emphasized that being able to destroy Luóhóu once means being able to destroy him a second time—as long as one does not obey!"

"What the gods want is a white glove and a sharp blade, intending to control the situation, but they will certainly not end up stabbing themselves."

Fengxi silently thought.

His foot exerted a little force, feeling the solidity and stability of the seal beneath his feet—this is a genuine sealing installation, not a prop for a show.

"Looking at this situation, perhaps back then the Demonic Ancestor was also unwilling, also struggled, fought, and writhed, wanting to break free of the shackles on his body, unwilling to be a tool, unwilling to cooperate in the performance."

"Alas, the ancient god sages were a step ahead, they blasted the Demonic Ancestor's ambition, suppressed him…… and even when the tool did not cooperate voluntarily, they simply went on stage themselves, staging a grand closed‑door drama for an entire era!"

"The entire Dragon‑Phoenix epoch, the history visible to later generations…… is all false, all altered!"

"Only in the end did Luóhóu Demonic Ancestor decide to reform, accept amnesty, and was then allowed to leave prison for a breath of fresh air…"

Fengxi felt that this should be part of the truth of the buried history.

The Dragon‑Phoenix epoch was an era when a batch of the oldest divinities laid their foundations.

Using a trumpet—the contribution of the Chaos Demonic God—to gild oneself with too much too much glory.

The Ferocious Beast Tribulation—the lingering calamity of the Chaos Demonic God's flesh and blood.

The Dao‑Demonic Tribulation—the obsession of the Chaos Demonic God to destroy the world.

Having passed through both great tribulations, one ultimately becomes a lofty divinity.

If there is no instance, then make it yourself!

After breaking through, launch a Honghuang‑wide broadcast, and the persona is instantly established.

What does it mean to have arrangements made perfectly clear?

This is it!

With a set of smooth, flowing operational arrangements, high status, stable rule, disciples becoming talented… everything one wants can be realized!

Fengxi marveled at the profundity of the ancient deities' schemes, not at all inferior to the ghoul era.

"Social customs deteriorate daily, people's hearts are not ancient?"

"Nonsense!"

"I look at Lady Houtu, and actually feel she has raised the era's average, able to overlook the Dragon-Phoenix Era."

He deeply felt that Houtu, the primordial witch, had absolutely high moral character and conduct, without so many tricky maneuvers… otherwise, he would have nothing to do, and wouldn't worry about the development of the great reincarnation undertaking.

Houtu, that is a heaven-and-earth conscience just like the Great Sage Fuxi and the Great Sage Nüwa!

"I want to undertake a great matter, and also wish to ask two fellow Daoists to lend a hand."

The Calamity Fortune Dao Lord said to the Slaughter Fortune and End Fortune Dao Lords:

They are making a deal.

This is also appropriate.

The Five Fortunes Dao Lords meet in secret; it can't just be about knowing each other… the most important thing is exchanging benefits, forming alliances for their own undertakings.

Besides Fengxi not knowing what to trade, the other few Dao Lords already have plans in mind.

"What matter?" the Slaughter Fortune Dao Lord said solemnly.

"I want to establish the Dao lineage!" the Calamity Fortune said, eyes glinting, "At critical moments, we still need two fellow Daoists to disguise themselves as those two Demon Ancestors…"
