Chapter 293: Nüwa Keeps Her Distance; If You Have Business, See the Secretary

Xiang'e Demon God mentioned the "Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons".

Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons.

A kind of extraordinarily special living being.

According to legend,

This is a dangerous existence conjured up by Luo Hou Demon Ancestor, intended to wreak havoc on the Honghuang world, disturb the myriad beings of the human Dao, and bring destruction and annihilation.

As for its authenticity?

Being able to vouch for it as a Da Luo existence is not too much.

If needed, they can also provide a seamless, flawless chain of evidence, with all kinds of caught-in-the-act proof, showing that all these misdeeds are the pot…… the Demon Ancestor's doing.

Luo Hou is extremely evil, his wickedness fills the cup, his sins are unforgivable!

A great host of innate divinities, to contend with the demonic path's super evil faction, variously sacrificing their heads and shedding hot blood, will fight from the first era all the way to the Infinite Calamity...

Who could not believe?

Who dares not to believe!

Speak!

The doubting fellow, is he a follower of Luo Hou?

Of course, regarding this matter, Luo Hou Demon Ancestor has great objections…… he struggled in prison, writing a few 'wronged' characters, and with a hoarse voice shouted, wanting to make his voice heard.

However, the eighty-one Heavenly Demon Chiefs jointly declared——Our demon ancestor occasionally has a brain fart; clearly he is a world-destroying great demon king yet unexpectedly suffers from mental instability and raves.

To better carry out the Grand Demonic Path Strategy, to bestow upon the Honghuang universe destruction, ensuring the implementation of destruction when the Infinite Calamity arrives…… they asked Luo Hou Demon Ancestor to govern in repose, thereby achieving grand governance of the Demonic Path.

That result was excellent.

Like the Buddhist school, and also the Daoist school.

Under the demons' efforts to wreak havoc, frequently disciples with vicious dispositions are tempted to join, heavily damaging the Honghuang educational cause, transmitting a large pile of bad values.

Just.

The ancient gods and great sages, the heavenly honored Buddhas of the Honghuang world, are really too troublesome, too difficult to deal with.

Even though the Heavenly Demon Chiefs are full of schemes, able to inflict heavy damage on the righteous forces at the outset…… however, in the end it is often that evil cannot overcome good.

After the impurities within the Daoist sect's interior are extracted by external force, those outstanding talents' seeds can stand out from the crucible of adversity, after undergoing various trials they receive an internal-to-external qualitative elevation, wisdom, spirit, strength…… all are the utmost transformation.

Hardship and adversity, jade is forged.

Thus, in the ensuing period, the Daoist sect's atmosphere becomes upright, nurturing more and better talents, causing the heavenly honored Buddhas to beam with smiles, gratifiedly indicating that the educational endeavor is a great success.

Even the Heavenly Court organizations of each era responsible for human livelihood will sigh——a demonic calamity washes away internal impurities, and also lets myriad beings, under external coercion, set aside various conflicts, coalescing into the most glorious united spiritual core, tempering the spirit muddled by the flashy world, letting myriad clans, having finally obtained a peaceful environment, become vigilant, thereby striving to improve and advance, jointly accomplishing a beautiful Honghuang.

However, the victory against the demonic calamity is only temporary; no one can afford to relax vigilance.

The Demonic Path led by Luo Hou Demon Ancestor will forever lurk in the shadows, possibly making a comeback at any moment.

——The above content is a brief version circulated in each era, an ancient legend passed down by word of mouth among human beings.

If one is interested in specialties such as history and archaeology, hoping to learn more detailed historical records?

Then one can go read and examine, in the Heavenly Court organizations that govern heaven and earth of each era, the historical works compiled and revised by the Historians…… inside will be the clearest, accurate, verifiable records of demonic calamities, and even be accompanied by video!

Of course.

If one still wants to know deeper inside information?

Then one should strive to elevate one's life level, transcend the constraints of spacetime, thoroughly analyze the fundamental rules of the entire Honghuang, establish oneself in the state of eternity, become an eternal, unbounded Da Luo of infinite spacetime.

Best of all, shed the newcomer title, become a veteran among the Da Luo.

When that time comes, looking back at each era's successive demonic calamities, one will inevitably sigh——

"Holy shit!!!!"

After the sigh, they will involuntarily join in, variously adding fuel to the fire, becoming true veterans.

Thus, regarding this, a certain mighty divine-power wielder who does not wish to reveal his name sighed.

"With the Demonic Path flourishing like this, not a single Da Luo is innocent."

"With the situation so tumultuous, like the surging Suiyue Changhe, who can stem the tide?"

Of course, speaking frankly, even if it is the heavenly will of a Da Luo, fate will also be very rough.

This mighty one, exalted high, ultimately fell on Feather Mountain, and had to undergo rebirth.

……

Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons, just what is going on…… among the seated demon kings, demon marshals, demon gods, etc. in the Heavenly Court, each one understands it to the fullest.

Besides themselves, no one knows how many of those Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons are scattered by them.

Those are all pawns, you know.

Moreover, the vast majority are discarded pieces.

Compared to the Wu Clan's careful selection, bearing a clan to contend for the era's heavenly mandate, a special existence.

These Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons, their fate is too tortuous——to prevent loss of control, the behind-the-scenes black hand really racks its brains.

First they select the mediocre and even the trash, then load them with mass-produced cheat codes——equivalent to governing people with tools, rather than people governing tools.

Without the cheat code, the trash is still trash; without a host, the cheat code remains a cheat code.

Foolproof operation, ignoring the host's thoughts, sending fixed-command targets, assigning tasks, if not completed they eliminate and replace…… purely just finding tools to use.

And even so.

Still, some are not entirely at ease——because there have been bloody shipwreck incidents, reminding all players of this scheme.

Thus, following closely, they send over ideological distortions of the salvation type, not saying they completely abolished it but it's almost the same.

However.

Abolished…… so what then?

Under the covert manipulation of the cheat code, they can all grow up, their strength is not empty.

Enough to be put to use in some corners and edges of the chessboard.

Just like right now.

The Chaos Demon God's suggestion is merely hinting that it's time to let these extraterritorial heavenly demons act.

No.

No need to be too subtle.

The Chaos Demon God smiled and said: "Those extraterritorial heavenly demons... before being arranged by Demon Ancestor Rahu to cross over, they unexpectedly 'knew' various Honghuang opportunities."

How unexpected, how knowing... For a Great Luo who plays with time, it's absolutely no problem.

"The opportunity is right here; how could they possibly restrain themselves?"

"That blatant merit... especially Empress Nüwa has even appeared in person to teach."

The demon god shook his head: "If she hadn't come up with this... tsk, those extraterritorial heavenly demons might not even deliberately act."

"But now, how could they not be moved?"

"Especially, doing this costs too little!"

"In their view, as long as they light a fire and make some clothes, they don't need to expend too much thought or energy."

"Even if their subconscious feels something off—why have so many demon civilizations not received preferential treatment, while only the human race has?"

"Nüwa is the sovereign of our demon race; the peoples and merit she created are of great significance, yet our demon race's Heavenly Court is like blind fools, from top to bottom all struck with a wit-reducing blow; even if we shift focus to the Wu clan, could we not simply assign some personnel to keep long-term watch?"

"Unfortunately, blinded by greed, even if they sense something off, they'll still take a chance—what if they get lucky?"

"Then we help them out in this process, without being too obvious—just hint to our subordinates to open various smuggling services, connecting the roads and checkpoints between the Wu and demon clans."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid most of them wouldn't be able to enter the Wu clan's territory."

The Chaos Demon God shrugged, speaking helplessly.

The mighty beings present all had strange expressions, shaking their heads and sighing.

The Wu and demon clans face off, the situation in the Honghuang universe is tense.

In wartime, everything is strict.

Various road checkpoints, so many they make your scalp tingle... yet this demonstrates each side's ability to govern its own territory.

Especially at Mount Buzhou.

As the Wu clan's main base, with main forces stationed there... how could just any cat or dog be able to barge in?

Therefore, no one can go 'offer pointers' on Nüwa's creation of humans, 'share in' her merit of creating humans.

After all, the timing of human creation is unclear; wanting to stake out is too difficult... if the time drags on a bit, you'll be invited away for tea.

And how to share in the merit?

Another one.

Don't look at the time when Nüwa creates humans; on the surface it seems she alone is showing off the operation.

Actually, in secret, that plot of land has long been surrounded by three circles inside and three circles outside by the Wu clan's capable hands.

This is not entirely because of creating humans; it's of great importance.

But rather, Nüwa's own ceremonial entourage is itself huge!

She is the sovereign!

Not considering her identity in the Wu clan, just from the demon race's side, she is also one of the four great leaders!

Since she is a leader, there naturally exists a precise and delicate order to uphold her dignity.

Such a great figure... is not of the same level of existence; can one just see them whenever they want?

Anyone who truly thinks that must have been influenced by some gossip about incognito visits and rulers loving virtuous scholars.

Unless it's a difficult time, because the situation requires such a display, and moreover the target must be very capable and talented, highly valuable... once the forces are on the right track, everything needs to be done by the book.

Without rules, nothing can be properly formed.

Around Empress Nüwa, there naturally exists a very tight security protection system.

Anyone who rashly approaches, before even getting close, is escorted away by the security personnel—although Nüwa's strength doesn't actually need such guarding.

But she also wouldn't refuse this entourage... because it is defending order, guarding rules.

If one wants to meet Nüwa face to face, one must first submit a notice, stating one's identity and purpose, whether it's truly important... after the guarding personnel roughly review it, then decide whether to allow passage.

Otherwise, for a trivial little matter, to influence Empress Nüwa such a big figure who gains hundreds or millions in minutes and whose stomp would shake Honghuang with an earthquake... what kind of face would one need!

Without a regular, precise cooperation process, don't even think about getting within ten zhang of Nüwa.

You say you have business?

Very important?

Nüwa indicated—then, first connect with my chief secretary Fengxi, let him arrange his subordinates' departments to handle it.

If he deems it important, he will naturally submit the matter to me again.

Look.

Just like that.

In such a vast Honghuang world, because there are heavenly moats at the level of life, some order and rules can be far more than what ordinary beings imagine.

Great figures are not seeable whenever one wants; the teams they have cultivated over long ages will handle many things on their behalf.

If an exception truly occurs?

A very ordinary being directly meets a top-tier Honghuang leader face to face for a talk?

Then it can only be said that behind the scenes there is likely a complex game, the result of top-tier players' communication.

For example...

One certain year, month, day, Fengxi and Fuxi had a historic meeting on Mount Phoenix Rest.

Perhaps behind that, it might be the result of Yandi and Qingdi communicating.

After Nüwa exposed Fengxi Yandi Trumpet's identity, she speculated thus.

For every situation that seems unreasonable, one can find a reason behind it.

……

Nüwa created humans, and we cannot blend.

But after that, humanity set foot on the road of civilizational development, needing to broaden horizons, absorb various resources, and interact with myriad races of humanity—naturally, it could no longer be sealed off.

It definitely must be opened… but in my observation, Nüwa will surely keep the biggest benefits for her own people.

The demon god was spouting nonsense while speaking great truths.

What we want to seize is this time…… quickly transport personnel over, disrupt their layout, undermine their credibility, then blow up the matter, making potential investors doubtful.

At the same time, we are warming up for the forging of the Slaughter-Witch Sword.

The Nine-Headed Bird demon god said meaningfully, 'After all, among those extraterritorial heavenly demons, there are not a few…… who also belong to humanity!'

However, they merely changed bodies…… actually it's just like the situation with the Wu Clan.

Likewise, only humanity itself can better understand its own history and, by the way, learn about opportunities to get rich.

However.

Likewise, it's just a change of body.

Likewise, they possess the same human soul.

But one stands at the forefront against my demon race, carving a bloody path for humanity's rise.

Another, however, only thinks of making money among humanity, not caring that they are their original kin, root, and source; they just want to rely on their own strength gilded in the demon race through time-travel to make a profit, lacking any thought of down-to-earth construction or mutual benefit.

You say…… upon learning this situation, what would the Wu Clan's still-striving witches think?

I fear it must be quite unpleasant, right?

The Nine-Headed Bird demon god laughed and said.

In the hall, there was first a silence.

Then, a burst of enthusiastic applause rang out, lasting without cease.

All the demon kings and demon marshals loudly cheered, praising the Nine-Headed Bird demon god, saying his wisdom was unmatched.

Especially the Nine-Infant demon marshal.

……

These two fellows have a worrisome ending.

Xihuang clapped with one hand while secretly communicating with Báizé, giving a definitive verdict on the fates of the Nine-Headed Bird demon god and the Nine-Infant demon marshal.

I think so too.

Báizé demon marshal deeply agreed.

Even if my demon race wins, the Wu Clan will fiercely retaliate…… especially Nüwa, whose financial route was smashed, will fiercely retaliate, putting them in great danger!

"In Houtu's place, there are a few strong fighters……" Fuxi muttered, "When the time comes, I won't know whether it's You or Yi, but in a frenzy they'll lash out and kill those two."
