Chapter 242

At this moment, Yandi is the most handsome youngster in all of Honghuang.

Because he no longer represents only himself, but all living beings in the entire heaven, earth, and universe—whether dead or alive—their wishes and pursuits, almost tantamount to the universal will of humanity launching an assault!

Boom!

The boundless chaos swirled, its power infinite, representing an ultimate limit, as if the true Pangu had struck!

Hum!

Endless spacetime was shattered, law after law obliterated and then recreated, suppressing the decisive strategic shift of Qingdi and Huangdi, blocking all their routes of survival, until there was no way out and they could not avoid facing it head‑on.

You think you can't!

Qingdi halted his steps, no longer fleeing, turned to face him, a strange light flashing in his eyes, and calmly said, 'A strike from Pangu?'

It's as if I've never done anything like Pangu!

You can trap me for a moment, but could you possibly trap me forever?

There will eventually be a time limit!

Exactly… exactly!

Huangdi wielded his sword and slashed; the sword light illuminated eternity, shaking the stability of the chaos; unfortunately, it fell short, unable to completely shatter it, 'I have the support of all humanity, the most enduring… even if you sacrifice yourself, treading the path of losing me as the price to unleash this strike, what then?'

That fleeting brilliance will eventually fade; perhaps not even a moment can be won from it.

The two heavenly emperors exist, full of confidence in their strength—one has experienced Pangu, the other is the strongest beneath Pangu; although Yandi's all‑burning strike is mighty, could it truly suppress and seal them forever?

Absolutely impossible!

Moreover, they are forced to go to zero‑zero eternity, to meditate facing the wall in the Fire Cloud Cave.

I never thought I could accomplish this feat by myself alone…… Yandi's form now crumbled into illusion, almost nonexistent, leaving only an image, yet he still smiled, "My purpose is merely to buy you a little time…… to secure the most crucial buffer for Nüwa."

Wait until she finishes mending heaven and earth, and then uses the dividends of reincarnation to pacify the common folk, dispelling resentment…… then her true Pangu form will surely descend smoothly.

Or a Pangu entwined with human power.

By then, helping me reinforce the Fire Cloud Cave won't be a problem, will it?

In that situation, even if your strongest main form, Qingdi—the August Emperor who opened heaven and earth—were to step forward, you couldn't hope to change anything.

Yandi smiled faintly.

At the same time, the Fire Cloud Cave, under his final impetus, expanded and covered, descending upon the completely sealed Qingdi and Huangdi!

Immediately after, Yandi's innate immortal spiritual light also stirred, merging into the Fire Cloud Cave as the key to this divine ability.

It is expected that, before his spiritual light dims and he sinks into self‑abandonment, it can still function, preventing the two heavenly emperors from breaking out.

——This is the reasonable speculation of the observing Great Luo heavenly wills.

One cannot avoid speculating.

After all, this Fire Cloud Cave divine ability is too strong, combining humanity's most crucial authority over life and death, plus the sacrifice of a heavenly emperor—how could it be easily seen through?

Even Nüwa standing beside cannot.

Even with her boundless divine powers, she can only hear the collision and voices; the true battle remains unseen.

Within it, Qingdi shouts to kill, Huangdi roars in anger, and even light—its sound alone could shatter the great explosion that would annihilate the Myriad Heavens universe…… it seems those two heavenly emperors are employing their utmost divine abilities and battle power, striving to break the prison and slay their way out.

Just imagine—one can tell how brutal it is…… making one worry whether Yandi's innate immortal spiritual light can withstand such devastation.

Nüwa's eyes corner had a hint of moisture.

She was moved.

She was too moved!

Compared to her elder brother Qingdi, who treats her with scheming calculations, various exploitative labor, raising the banner 'for your own good', again and again coveting her little possessions, with tricks endless, causing the Empress Nüwa to worry white several hairs…… She isn't just a little richer? Isn't she monopolizing most of Honghuang's channel wealth? Isn't it that when she's in a bad mood, the average wealth of all Honghuang would plummet thirty‑to‑fifty percent?

She, however, through her own effort, achieved the wealth myth of Honghuang, a true asset‑base leviathan…… yet this also has to be sheared by her wicked elder brother, who claims to devote to Honghuang, that heaven's way takes from the surplus to compensate the deficit, and thus it is fitting to offer Nüwa's little treasury to Heaven, blessing humanity's common folk.

Nüwa herself is not some heartless powerful being; essentially she also possesses the lofty moral virtue of giving back to heaven and earth, to the common folk—who knows how many charitable deeds she has done, contributing greatly to the wholesome development of humanity…… but this does not mean she is willing to be forcibly exploited; she wants to give spare change voluntarily when she is in a good mood.

Her brother is wicked, full of bad ideas; zero savings, total withdrawal, meeting on the rooftop…… Nüwa has long suffered at the hands of Xi.

Having such a negative example, turning back to look at Yandi……

Such selfless contribution, serving as the vanguard and rearguard for Nüwa's undertaking.

Like the work of reincarnation, from start to finish he is the one laboring…… Nüwa merely had this idea, and Yandi automatically, consciously, bringing his own rations, carried out the detailed design—from regulations to promotion—unknown how much sweat he shed.

Most importantly, once reincarnation was completed, even if Yandi's contribution inside was excessive, it still surpassed that of the proposer, Houtu.

Yet Yandi waved his hand and declared——all names in reincarnation shall be written as Houtu!

Houtu is supreme, Houtu is greatest…… this is Yandi's attitude.

All approval rights for reincarnation belong entirely to Houtu——including, but not limited to, the day Houtu suddenly gets an idea, a slap of the head and he alters the original reincarnation plan, even changing the 'human' path among the six paths of reincarnation into the 'livestock' path, directly interfering with the foundation of humanity.

Such spirit and conduct deeply moved Nüwa…… in the end, feeling her conscience, she did not repay Yandi with betrayal or ingratitude, but instead promoted him to general manager of reincarnation.

Even further, after the Lich Great Tribulation completely ends, to appoint him as the second chairman of reincarnation.

Labor deserves reward, one effort, one return…… Nüwa greatly agrees with this principle.

The light of the righteous path shines upon the earth!

Thus far, all of Yandi's actions and conduct have moved Nüwa greatly.

For the first time, she sighed deeply from the bottom of her heart.

Can't my elder brother learn from Yandi? Alas… if only I could have a little brother like Yan!

Hmm… not right.

Such a thing as an elder brother… must not be.

In the family, my status must be the highest.

So… if little Yan were my brother, that would be good.

Nüwa let out a soft sigh, venting her inner emotions.

Thereupon, she immediately sprang into action, lunging forward.

——Yandi sacrificed himself, only to win her precious time; how could it be wasted?

We must seize it!

Before Qingdi and Huangdi break open the Fire Cloud Cave, complete the mending of heaven and stabilizing earth, dispel resentment, and let the Lord's number descend!

By then, it won't be just a matter of a single Pangu strike…… but rather a Pangu suppression, even multiple, making Qingdi and Huangdi toil for a lifetime!

Nüwa mourned Yandi's sacrifice while her heart hardened.

A woman who hardens her heart is terrifying.

Especially when she is also a supreme heavenly will, a terrifying great divine-ability wielder.

Facing the Wa Huang at this moment, Bai Di and Hei Di have no thought of confronting her directly—let alone the fact that their combat power is currently limited, going up to fight would be miserable.

Even if they were at their peak, they would still feel apprehensive, needing to ponder several times before making a choice.

Now?

Forget it.

They followed their heart's choice, swiftly wandering through the ages of time and space…… that vigorous stride, that flamboyant footwork, made the Wa Huang glance coldly, after which she ultimately couldn't muster much thought of rushing over to kill them.

Major matters are urgent.

Thus, she selected that group which had previously raised banners, clamorously calling for rebellion, and had even fought against Huangdi—the Great Luo…… among them were not lacking great divine-ability wielders.

Afterward, she struck ruthlessly, opening a great slaughter!

"Run!"

That group of Great Luo, upon seeing the Wa Huang's advance, each felt their scalps go numb, hands and feet turn ice-cold, and decisively made their decision.

Unfortunately……

"Brothers, follow me in killing, to create an opportunity for Lady Nüwa!"

The captain of Houtu's guard—You, who had been heavily wounded by Huangdi, has now acted again.

He issued orders, commanding all his subordinates to attack, biting down on the opponent relentlessly.

"Ah…… You, you bastard!"

"Don't think you're happy now…… fortunes shift, sooner or later you'll have your unlucky day!"

"Hahaha!" You laughed heartily, "Before this, you must first fall…… it seems this fortune is now with me."

"Moreover, with Lady Nüwa's wisdom and tactics…… would that fortune dare to move?"

"Just go ask the Kunpeng who created this fortune's Great Dao——if Lady Nüwa gives an order, what would he dare say? Would he dare to act?"

"So, I'm unlucky?"

"Impossible!"

You said with certainty.

And Nüwa, who had leapt out from beside him, nodded, indicating approval.

"Give it our all!"

As You's opponent, a great ability wielder, seeing no hope of escape, not begging for mercy, instead launched a death-defying charge against Nüwa with great resolve.

But it was of no use.

Great Luo and Great Luo, they are different!

Great ability wielders and great ability wielders, they are also not the same!

That great ability wielder, although among great divine-ability wielders he is quite good, having evolved the mysteries of the Taichu…… yet facing Nüwa?

Unable to withstand a single blow!

"Golden Ao, receive death!"

Nüwa had no nonsense, directly went for the kill.

A pitiful great ability wielder, who had some accomplishments in defense as a great divine-ability wielder, couldn't even withstand three moves before his primordial spirit was shattered, his immortal light suppressed, leaving only an empty fleshly shell.

Nüwa scooped up the true form revealed after that sacred fall, didn't even examine it closely, raised the Heavenly Crystal Sword, hand up sword down, with consummate smoothness, the four Ao legs were chopped off.

Then the sword light turned again, flowing like a gentle stream, penetrating everywhere, sweeping through the Ao's body…… in an instant, flesh and shell separated.

The whole procedure, like flowing clouds and water, had an unparalleled smooth natural beauty, and was also swift—taking only the blink of an eye to finish, without wasting much time.

Grabbing the Ao's legs, gathering the Ao's meat, Nüwa didn't even glance at the remaining Ao shell, and left directly.

Left behind, the great You, a shaman, watched as the Ao shell fell toward the vast sea, his forehead breaking out in cold sweat.

……

The Wa Huang's mobility is off the charts, her combat power also terrifyingly formidable.

In a short time, she had practically traversed the entirety of Honghuang heaven and earth.

While excavating something, she also happened to slay rebellious Great Luo along the way…… in a moment, the rebel army collapsed, scattering in all directions, avoiding Nüwa's advance.

Nüwa did not go after them to kill——because there is a saying, 'settle accounts after the autumn.'

"Wait until I mend heaven and stabilize earth, let the Lord's number return, and every one of them will die!"

"For now, let you guys run for a while!"

Nüwa's eyes were cold and stern.

She unearthed many heavenly treasures and earthly riches, and also opened her personal storehouse to fill the gaps in the plan…… as for what truly doesn't exist, theoretically nonexistent things?

The Wa Huang directly exerted the supreme creation divine ability, creating something from nothing.

Finally, myriad divine materials were ready; she cast forth a great cauldron glowing with warm, oily luster, throwing all the materials inside.

Open the furnace, refine treasures!

While refining treasures, Nüwa also threw the four Ao legs toward the four extremes of heaven and earth, first propping up the collapsed heavens, stabilizing the earth with a tendency to collapse, making up for the order deficiency caused by Hei Di's turmoil.

Meanwhile, the cauldron's fire blazed, spreading through heaven and earth…… either burning the vast wilderness into ash to curb floods, or simply vaporizing water to transport to the vast sea.

Nüwa, her divine abilities boundless, her magic limitless.

Even if the heavens were torn with such a huge hole, and the heavenly river surged boundlessly, it would still be easily contained.

Of course, as this process continued, with the passage of time, the Fire Cloud Cave side also grew increasingly unstable, about to explode and disintegrate.

Yandi sacrificed himself, turning into a prison, but could never eternally seal the Green Emperor and Yandi.

It is precisely because of those two major stumbling blocks that Nüwa could not choose an easier remedial method… otherwise, a single directed reload would restore everything to its original state.

Nüwa thought for a moment, and she felt a hatred that made her teeth itch; on her little mental notebook, she added another bold, heavy stroke.

…

Both sides are racing against time, both are competing in speed.

But in the end, it seems Nüwa had the upper hand.

The great cauldron exhaled mist, its five-colored light swirling, yet this was the auspicious sign of its completion.

Inside the cauldron was a five-colored thing that sometimes took the form of stone, sometimes liquid, sometimes vapor—ethereal and unfathomable, endlessly changing.

Nüwa's eyes lit up; she directly lifted the cauldron and went to the breach in the firmament to carry out the most crucial repair.

The five-colored light illuminated heaven and earth; this moment seemed eternal.

Mankind is destined to remember this moment, becoming an immortal myth that endures and is passed down forever!

"Lady Nüwa, infinitely compassionate and merciful! Your holy virtue knows no bounds!"

All beings bowed devoutly, offering heartfelt prayers.

And in such an atmosphere, several figures appeared, watching Nüwa mend the heavens, each lost in thought.

The head honcho of Kunlun Mountain.

The elder brother of Sumeru Mountain.

Morality Heavenly Venerable, Yuanshi Tianzun, Numinous Treasure Heavenly Venerable.

Jieyin ancient Buddha, Zhunti ancient Buddha.

These are all the top bosses of the premier educational institutions of Honghuang.

Jieyin and Zhunti, these two ancient Buddhas, at this moment gazed upon the remnants in Nüwa's heavenly mending—one of the solidified, fallen five-colored stones—and whispered a few words to each other.

Morality Heavenly Venerable first glanced at the five-colored stone, then looked up at Nüwa on the firmament, his eyes deep and unfathomable—no one knew what he was thinking.
