Chapter 267

Shock!

Hongjun Dao Ancestor and Lady Nüwa were all trapped, the high-level Demon Race likely became the biggest winner!

The Purple Cloud Palace you don't know about—behind Lady Nüwa's attainment of Sainthood lies turbulence and deceit!

Is the Heavenly Dao Saint's position a benefit or a scam? Primordial Great Luo longs for it, Initial Great Luo is moved, Grand Change Great Luo avoids it at all costs……

……

In the Wu Clan's headquarters, Fengxi's incarnation, holding that Honghuang Records, is now writing furiously, engraving historical records into it, taking the shocking style as its genre, becoming a glorious and great junior editor.

While writing, he also chuckled 'heng heng heng'... Although saying, the direct superior being weakened casts a shadow over the future development of the Wu Clan and humanity.

But how to say it?

Fengxi's true self stays in the Purple Cloud Palace, watching Lady Nüwa with a black face noting down in a little notebook, always inexplicably having an urge to burst out laughing—this impulse comes from the deepest part of the soul, very happy to see her suffer a setback, just like a helpless older brother seeing his lawless sister being punished, all disheveled and ready to brandish claws and fangs... feeling very cute and adorable?

'Hmm, it must be an illusion.'

Fengxi grasped his own psychology, seriously reviewing and reflecting—how could Fengxi, so loyally brave, have such an arrogant thought, wanting to climb onto Lady Nüwa's head to throw his weight around?

That's something only the Great Sage Fuxi can do and would do!

'I would feel happy, surely because I'm about to be promoted soon...' he thought, 'Lady Nüwa's combat output has been restricted; she cannot rely on direct force to sweep aside opponents, so she will necessarily make strategic adjustments, placing greater emphasis on cultivating intelligence.'

'As my trusted minister, this dog-headed strategist... will surely receive a huge increase in investment and gain the Lady's more focused resource allocation.'

Although it's a bit embarrassing, I can't say it out loud.

But the fact is just so.

Lady Nüwa took a fall, but afterward Fengxi got a small feast, gaining great benefit.

Even so, the difficulty of the future Wu-Demon War will sharply increase...... Losing Lady Nüwa's absolute strength as protection, the rise and struggle of humanity will become even more arduous.

In this regard, the high-level Demon Race made a big profit—at the very least achieving their basic strategic goal.

On one hand they helped Lady Nüwa block Hongjun, on the other hand they helped Hongjun restrain Lady Nüwa...... Even if the result of doing so is that these high-level figures are all recorded in the little notebook.

But, so what?

No matter how much hatred value is drawn, at most it's a secondary contradiction.

The main contradiction between Lady Nüwa and Hongjun...... in this era, it's always the other side!

Sometimes, to eliminate the main contradiction, two factions deeply entangled, even with past grudges and blood feuds, cooperating is not surprising.

Of course.

After knocking down the main contradiction, the secondary contradiction will surely take the stage.

The list and such will definitely be pulled.

By then it will depend on whether each side's abilities are strong enough to allow that list to be executed.

The high-level Demon Race, hovering in the cracks, appearing extreme and risky yet steady as an old dog, has placed a crucial pawn, making final preparations for the opening curtain of the devastating calamity.

As long as they gain enough in the great calamity to raise themselves to the peak level, even if in the end they are kept in mind by a supreme being of Pangu, it's still quite worthwhile.

The clacking of the abacus being struck.

Therefore.

At this very moment.

In the Purple Cloud Palace, the high-level Demon Race, although not showing it obviously...... but that surface-level joy is not lacking at all, not far from loud cheers and mutual high-fives.

This makes Lady Nüwa's face gloomy, vividly reflecting her bad mood.

Especially, when she returns to her seat, sits down again, and sees her brother's expression not far away......

'Brother! What are you doing!'

Lady Nüwa's gaze is extremely dangerous.

'Nothing much...... just preparing to send out some good news.'

No longer eating peaches, but instead the joyfully responding Fuxi who started writing furiously said, 'I want to tell the world—my good sister Nüwa has successfully been elected as a Heavenly Dao Saint!'

'This is great news!'

He chattered on, saying, 'Even fine wine fears a deep alley...... this era is one where traffic is king!'

'Promotion is very important!'

'Even if you have real talent...... if promotion is lacking and fame isn't loud, who in the world will know who you are?'

'Conversely, as long as your fame is big enough and your rhythm is good enough, even a fart can be interpreted in a thousand and ten thousand ways, enjoyed by the world.'

Fuxi spoke with confidence.

Lady Nüwa's nose gradually twisted——out of anger.

While Fuxi seemed oblivious, he continued to tease, 'Sister, you've become a Heavenly Dao Saint...... in the eyes of the vast majority of beings, that's a promotion!'

'This can just be used for a wave of traffic promotion...... with this fame, whether you want to establish a sect and recruit disciples, or carve out a domain to build power, you need not worry about lack of talent—people will come from mountains and rivers billions of miles away.'

'Fame is indeed a good thing...... I have incarnated countless times, treaded the Myriad Heavens, and seen many manifestations of mortal beings.'

'Some give birth to a child and can hit hot searches and headlines...... some simply get pregnant and the heat starts rising...... even more excessively, marriages are widely publicized, drawing countless onlookers.'

'If one doesn't know the inside story, they might think giving birth to something that opened an era and greatly advanced humanity, a great sage and virtuous person, or that for the sake of ethnic social unity, one made a weighty sacrifice.'

Great Sage Fuxi muttered, 'Alas, social customs deteriorate, people's hearts are not ancient!'

'We can't resist the tide of the times, so we might as well join its ranks and surge forward together!'

'Little sister, rest assured!'

'Your older brother I will definitely use the most beautiful words to describe, in the shortest time let your destined-to-become-a-saint deed spread widely, greatly attracting attention, becoming an internet-famous saint of the new era, leaving Daoist and Buddhist schools far behind in traffic by thousands of streets!'

'I think this will surely succeed...... after all, you have many elements that can attract attention.'

'What Dao Ancestor's decree, what boundless merit...... the most important thing is still image!'

'Compared to other candidates for Sainthood, they're either old geezers or middle-aged uncles; handsome young gods exist but are truly few.'

'What can compare to your image in people's eyes—that of a gentle, lovable young lady? Although you're also not young anymore...'

Little brother is very good.

But isn't the little sister fragrant?

Of course, Nüwa did not take it kindly.

The more Fuxi spoke, the more dangerous Nüwa's gaze became.

Especially after he spoke part of the truth and triggered a certain landmine.

"More importantly, there's also rarity… Little sister, you becoming a Saint is truly of great significance!"

"Daoist friend Hongjun, you truly have far-sighted vision—with you becoming a Saint, the female immortals of Honghuang will no longer have to be angry, cold, or tremble…… This means the arrival of an era of equality!"

"How many female immortals must loudly call for the dawn to arrive?"

"This is also a point that can be hyped!"

Fuxi sighed loudly, giving Hongjun a satisfied look.

The Dao Ancestor was somewhat dazed.

However, although he didn't know what was going on, it didn't prevent him from cooperating by striking a pose, confirming that Fuxi's praise of him was correct—he indeed had such far-sighted vision——

The Heavenly Dao balances, yin and yang rotate.

Among the Saints, there is a female great deity, which is precisely his Hongjun's manifestation of proving the balance of the Heavenly Dao!

"Hoo… hoo… hoo…"

Nüwa pressed her hand to her chest, feeling her heart's violent beating, taking deep breaths, as if forcibly suppressing some anger.

"Brother, I thank you…… but I don't need such fame."

Nüwa restrained her emotions, "My little sister already has all kinds of strange gossip, no need to stand at the forefront again."

"No, we want it, we want it……" Fuxi shook his head, "Just some baseless rumors; how can they compare to the 'true fragrance' of fortune?"

"Listening to the older brother is definitely correct!"

Fuxi put on the airs of the eldest in the family.

Nüwa looked at him, her eye twitching again and again, feeling she was on the verge of bursting.

Can't bear it any longer.

So, she no longer wanted to endure, stood up straight, glanced around, and gestured one, two.

"I request to temporarily leave the scene and rest a while."

Instantly, the Great Luos in the Purple Heaven Palace all exclaimed, "Her Ladyship handles myriad affairs, overworked, a model for all beings…… Now, due to mental fatigue, she wishes to rest; how could we not support her? Her Ladyship, do as you please!"

Nüwa nodded slightly.

Then, she strode away from her seat, in just a few steps reached Fuxi's side, smiling, with dark aura swirling behind her, she grabbed her brother's arm, ignoring his struggle, and forcibly dragged him out of the Purple Heaven Palace.

Fengxi clearly saw that when Nüwa took Fuxi out, although her mouth was shut, she was visibly grinding her teeth.

One can imagine that after leaving the Purple Heaven Palace, the interaction between this brother and sister…… the scene will surely be intense and explosive.

"Hope that Great Saint Fuxi is unharmed and can return safely."

Fengxi silently pressed his palms together in his heart, earnestly praying.

Not only him.

There are also countless male Great Luos, making similar vows…… forming a great project of hope.

On the contrary, the female heroes all stood on Nüwa's position, muttering——those scoundrels who exploit women's psychology should be punished.

In short, black and white are distinct, the sides are clear.

Of course, there are also some gray members…… in Fengxi's observation, mainly those candidates competing to become Saints.

They seem to have been moved by Great Saint Fuxi's words, very interested in the publicity of traffic Saints, gaining inspiration on how to hype and attract fans, each eyes flashing a strange light.

Occasionally, when their eyes met, they both put on a knowing smile.

Fengxi gazed from afar, spontaneously imagining such a script——

"Brother, after the election succeeds, shall we cooperate to put on a show?"

"Of course! I've already thought of the script!"

"Coincidentally, I also have a script!"

"Then, who will be the pro side, who the con side? Let's break a shocking gossip news!"

"Who will wield the hammer, who will be hammered? Afterward, discovering it was a misunderstanding, both sides cease hostilities and reconcile, one side showing a responsible attitude, the other showing tolerance and magnanimity?"

"Sigh…… this depends on the situation, and also needs careful discussion."

"This will do."

"Wait for the Saint election results, then we'll set up a few tables on Kunlun Mountain to discuss, okay?"

"Good! Let's do that! It's settled!"

The above content is purely fictional.

Any resemblance is purely coincidental.

Even if beaten to death, Fengxi would not admit it.

……

"Alright, quiet!"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun swept his whisk, letting the hall fall into silence.

"Daoist friend Nüwa's Saint position is secure, no one can take it…… As for the rest, it's up to those willing to nominate themselves."

"I hereby solemnly announce that this election will adhere to the principles of fairness, openness, and justice, and severely crack down on any fraudulent behavior."

"Now, candidates, please step forward and display your prestige and achievements in the human Dao, as well as your influence!"

Following the Dao Ancestor's orders, in the blink of an eye, dozens of great beings stepped forward, their bodies glowing with spiritual light, yet they were manifestations of the great fortune of the human Dao.

Clear at a glance.

The most outstanding batch, their spiritual light blazing, condensing into substance… They all have fame spreading in the Human Dao, circulating in the Myriad Heavens.

Three Pure Ones Heavenly Venerable.

Jieyin Zhunti.

Hongyun Ancient God.

Zhenyuan Great Immortal.

Kunpeng Great Sage.

Minghe Old Ancestor.

Shaoyang Emperor.

Doumu Yuanjun.

……

There were about twenty great powers, and when they displayed the great fortune of the Human Dao, it left people astonished.

Finally, there was no need for Hongjun to speak.

The remaining competitors gave a bitter laugh and voluntarily withdrew.

Cannot compete.

Really cannot compete.

The gap is too great!

The Dao Ancestor, focusing his scrutiny on the remaining great powers, after a slight pondering, spoke: 'Except for the Saint position of Fellow Daoist Nüwa, the remaining positions fluctuate between five and six.'

'So, I have decided to select twelve to participate in the debate segment… taking the twelve fellow Daoists with the most flourishing Human Dao fortune.'

Spiritual light surged, and in an instant the superiority was decided.

Such a concrete comparison leaves little room for deceit… especially under the gaze of so many Daluo Heavenly Wills in the Zixiao Palace.

Finally, the twelve great powers lined up one by one, stood here, and entered the next segment.

'Saints carry out teachings.'

'Teach what?'

'Please, all of you, speak on this and decide your future main line of office.'

'In this process, you may argue with each other… you may overcome your opponent, causing them to recognize their inadequacy and withdraw; or, in the case of no clear victory, you may let the Daluo representatives of the Human Dao present vote to decide the final ownership of the Saint position.'

The rules and procedures established by Hongjun are still fairly reliable.

The twelve great powers gazed at each other, their eyes full of deep meaning.

They…… seemed to have been waiting for this day, waiting a long time, hiding too many past events.

After a moment, the Shaoyang Emperor smiled and spoke, being the first to speak.

'All you fellow Daoists are very modest… then let me cast a brick to attract jade, and be the first to speak, how about that?'

He laughed looking very cheerful, making it impossible to discern what he was thinking, why exactly.

'This world, this era, is very chaotic…… I think it's not good, it's necessary to put things in order.'
