Chapter 212: with translation of chapter title

Dao Ancestor Hongjun

Calamity Fortune Dao Lord took a deep breath, "In terms of strength, I am far inferior to him……He has gathered the essence of all innate sacred Great Luo Dao fruits; if Pangu does not appear, almost no one can cure him."

"However, he is qualified as a pure Honghuang data processing server, but in the application and handling of human hearts……When I face him, I still have a bit of confidence."

"Give me time; with a bit of gradual operation, I can wander between Houtu and Hongjun, thereby taking up residence in the cycle of reincarnation and exerting its effect at critical moments!"

Houtu

Lesser Yang Emperor

"At the critical moment, after taking a firm stand as the ancestor witch of Houtu……There cannot be the slightest flaw, exposed to Hongjun, otherwise there would likely be danger to life."

"Each of those mighty figures standing at the pinnacle of the Honghuang universe has, for the most part, undergone a splendid performance beyond compare, worthy of being called the leading actor on the grand stage of the entire Honghuang universe."

"Each one, besides establishing a sect and forming a school of thought, can also resolve some civilization and social issues affecting endless time and space, while incidentally creating new problems—clever tricks and deviant methods emerge endlessly."

"For example, Zulong, the Dragon's Great Dao shaking the Myriad Heavens and myriad ages, is the foremost expert in constructing racial consciousness; with a single move, everyone becomes like a dragon—who doesn't know? Who isn't aware? Who dares to ignore? Combining racial deviance and propaganda sensing into one, it can absolutely effectively resolve many regional conflicts and interracial conflicts, capable of assuming the role of a great unification holy king……The reason it is called a holy king rather than a holy emperor is merely because after solving the old contradictions, it creates new problems, namely the contemptuous disputes between classes arising from different degrees of dragon form evolution."

"Furthermore, Nüwa the Supreme Sage, the ultimate achiever of the Great Dao of Creation, is the highest authority on the study and creation of life, the transformation and evolution of matter, and at the same time a supreme real estate mogul; she can to some extent coordinate the desires and cravings of sentient beings with their actual labor efforts, and in an alternative way whip the masses to work hard, making a huge contribution to the prosperity and development of Honghuang's cultivation civilization—although it eventually went astray……Fengxi can imagine that, after humanity is created, among the ancestral-level figures, there must be one called 'Youchaoshi', which needs no explanation—this is the divine birth glorious moment of Lady Nüwa!"

Reincarnation (reincarnation) - concept but appears many times; should we include? It's a concept, not a named entity. The instruction says list named entities: characters, places, sects, ranks, techniques, cultivation realms/pills/treasures, named beasts/items, fan-fiction names. Reincarnation is a concept, not a named entity. So we exclude.

Dao Lineage (Dao lineage) - concept, exclude.

Honghuang World (Primordial World) - maybe exclude as generic.

Ultra-large Social Morality Duty Lecture (Ultra-large Social Morality Duty Lecture) - maybe exclude as descriptive.

"'Perhaps I already know who the previous Luck Dao Lord was……Taking into account the previous super-large social morality duty lecture, I will list the key figures with significant roles therein, and then sort them by importance and excellence of moral character……'"

The answer is only that few.

And with Fengxi's experience added as corroboration, it's almost ready to be spoken.

"Fatherly love is like a mountain… uh, the eldest brother is like a father!"

"Calling it paternal love is barely acceptable…"

A hint of a smile suddenly welled up in the depths of Fengxi's eyes.

He noticed some interesting things.

Although he still isn't entirely clear on the true history of the Dragon and Phoenix era, many of the grudges and emotional entanglements have already faintly appeared in his mind.

He was laughing, finding great interest in the gossip between some powerful beings... but the Tribulation Dao Lord on the other side, misunderstanding, thought that the "father" of Party A in this clandestine deal was satisfied with Party B's promise, and began to probe for his own benefit—just as before when he sincerely invited the underlings of the Severance Dao Lord to join work.

But this time, he has taken a liking to the reincarnation channel, seeing its convenience for the development of the Dao lineage, wanting to make the pretense real, and even taking a liking to some other things.

"After the dust settles from the Lich Great Tribulation, could you negotiate with Daoist friend Nüwa on my behalf, so I can purchase more shares of reincarnation?"

"If possible, I want to open the usage rights of the Yin Virtue and Blessing Virtue Great Dao in the future, to obtain operational and interpretive rights in certain regions via franchising, acting as an agent for a region."

The Tribulation Dao Lord is also a powerful being with ideas.

Fengxi pondered, considering his long association with Houtu, inferring this goddess's many personality habits, and also the temporary stand-in Fortune Dao Lord's setting... finally he spoke very calmly.

"Okay."

He made the promise very calmly.

"Excellent... Daoist friend, rest assured, I will exert my utmost effort on this matter of reincarnation!"

Fengxi didn't say much more, maintaining his aloof persona, he turned to look at the Tribulation and Slaughter Dao Lords.

At this moment, his thoughts mostly revolve around how to win the Lich Great Tribulation, raising the banner of the previous Fortune Dao Lord and the Ancestor Witch Houtu, acting with utter abandon.

"Tribulation Dao Lord, it seems not quite safe enough... should we bring in a few more?"

"Anyway, the more debts, the less worry."

Being able to win the Lich Great Tribulation and confirm humanity's place as the protagonists of heaven and earth… that is what matters most.

With this idea in mind, he began trading with the three parties.

The Intercept Fortune Dao Lord felt somewhat moved, and the Slay Fortune Dao Lord felt the same.

During this process, Fengxi found that the previous Fortune Dao Lord's character and reputation seemed especially high… the clandestine trades went so smoothly that at least seventy percent or more of the credit belongs to him.

Trading with the three parties was very successful… and these three parties also had little dissatisfaction.

Perhaps they clearly understood that this chunk of meat called reincarnation isn't something they can stably eat on their own; it's truly wandering in the gap between the two major camps, and only by uniting is it solid.

Following the trend, the Slay Fortune Dao Lord rode the wind of reincarnation blown by Fengxi, brought the united momentum, and put forward his own idea—centered on his interests—as a trading activity.

He is not a simple person; he harbors great ambition… a certain great power, an emperor who repeatedly jumps between the Wu Clan and the Demon Race, lit a fire of ambition in his heart—

Leader of heaven and earth, others can do it, I can too!

But originally, he hadn't figured out how to connect things… it was Fengxi who set up a stage for him.

All things are hard at the start; once past the start, the rest is easy… familiarity breeds ease.

Everyone can unite once for the reincarnation undertaking, in a small covert team, to play opposite a certain Dao Ancestor… then, taking another small step, we can pre‑agree on possible scenarios and prepare contingency plans…

That's also quite normal, right?

"If one day the situation develops into the following several strange states… I will need your help."

The Slay Fortune Dao Lord smiled narrowly: "Please, the Tribulation Fortune Dao Lord, enact calamity and void tribulations; please, the Intercept Fortune Dao Lord, enact conclusion; please, the Ultimate Fortune Dao Lord, enact destruction; please, the Fortune Dao Lord, announce economic reform and reshape the Honghuang system… I want to become the sharpest sword, to slash at a certain existence that has become a spirit of a server!"

"Dao friend, what courage!"

The Intercept Fortune Dao Lord praised: "Dare to swing a sword at the Dao Ancestor… you have the bearing of the Nether River Demon Ancestor."

"But I am not him," the Slay Fortune Dao Lord emphasized, "What a magnificent figure the Nether River Demon Ancestor is!"

"He is the strong one who established the most fundamental extermination rules of Honghuang, carrying out heaven's will in righteousness, a reasonable and lawful executioner, who set the tribulation numbers for cultivators' practice, who controls the crimson lotus karmic fire… combining law enforcement and judiciary as the supreme prosecutor and supreme judge!"

"His just and fair law‑enforcement attitude, his moral character is so lofty and grand, worthy of ninety‑nine percent of the great Luo to study earnestly… I am one of them, deeply admiring and revering him!"

The Slay Fortune Dao Lord's expression was very solemn, as if it were truly so.

However…

"Ugh…"

A certain Ultimate Fortune Dao Lord unwilling to reveal his real name gave an embarrassing dry retch.

"Dao friend, what's wrong with you?"

The Slay Fortune Dao Lord's gaze instantly turned dangerous.

"Is it that the Destruction Demon Ancestor's tentacles have stretched out again, affecting you?" the Slay Fortune Dao Lord said word by word, "If so… don't be afraid!"

"We five Fortune Dao Lords are born of the same breath… Wait a moment, I will go report to the Nether River Demon Ancestor, ask him to strengthen defenses, and incidentally practice my sword on the imprisoned Rahu Demon Ancestor, to cut off his unruly tentacles and make him abandon improper dangerous thoughts!"

"…"

The Ultimate Fortune Dao Lord was speechless, stopping his dry retching.

This made Fengxi, who was ready to watch the show, regretfully withdraw his gaze.

"Not fighting, what a pity…"

He harbored a very dangerous idea, enjoying the spectacle without minding the scale.

…

Skip over the minor contradiction between the Ultimate Fortune and Slay Fortune Dao Lords.

This gathering of the five Fortune Dao Lords became harmonious again.

Everyone conducted clandestine trades, meanwhile praising the great powers who look very much like themselves… such is the fun of a gathering of great divine abilities.

Fengxi didn't actually gain much benefit here… after all, he is not the true Fortune Dao Lord.

But the various insider news heard during this process were very worthwhile.

Learned some of the great powers' black histories, the positions they once held…

For example, judge—Nether River Old Ancestor; housing bureau chief also population statistics bureau chief—Nüwa; prospective education minister—Heavenly Venerable of the Three Pure Ones; surface leader of Honghuang—Dao Ancestor Hongjun…

Among the great powers of all sides, although there is struggle, it remains within a certain degree of mutual restraint.

Even if it is a great tribulation, even if it is an endless war of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Through conversations among several Dao Lords, Fengxi also learned— the ancient god great sage is not completely cold‑blooded.

Although the destined long‑lasting Lich Great Tribulation will cause countless beings to die in its course… yet they will not die completely.

The final victor will resurrect them.

Just as Fengxi saw— Nüwa purges the land!

In fact, this is true.

Each great Luo heavenly will knows very clearly what the most precious, most developable resource in the Honghuang world is.

It is humanity's myriad beings!

How could one truly let them die out?

If they all died, who would come to enrich Honghuang, to adorn the ages?

There is a consensus among the great powers.

However, life and death are uncertain, but the protagonist of heaven and earth is unique.

The loser, even if he obtains a chance to be reborn… but that is merely the victor's charity.

A great power will act, like Pangu cleaving heaven and earth, creating a realm, packing them in, thus losing their voice in the primordial Honghuang universe.

This is very fatal.

In future populations, wanting to produce another top‑tier hero is extremely difficult.

This is the fate that the loser must inevitably bear.

"Heaven and earth are just a play."

【All beings perform within it.】

【Those who have transcended the Great Luo are the spectators.】

【The spectators naturally hope that this drama becomes more and more exciting, and its number also grows……】

Fengxi realized the mindset that true great beings should have.

Often, they cling to their own stance, starting from their own interests.

But viewed macroscopically, they are also broad-minded and transcendent.

【Just, this is a normal situation……】

【Sometimes, exceptions also arise, a mishap…… leading onto a path that no one anticipated would happen.】

Fengxi pondered silently.

Afterward, he truly set out for himself, and trading began.

He looked toward the Lord of the Final Fate, and looked toward the Lord of the Intercepted Fate.

「I want something, to use for a period of time. 」

「What is it? 」 the two Dao Lords asked in return.

「Sword formation! 」
