Chapter 335: Mutual Benefit for Humanity, Settling the Score Afterwards

Nüwa's look was off.

Over the ages, aside from her brother often not giving her face.

As for the rest, even the Dao Ancestor wouldn't dare act so arrogantly.

Donghuang

Chaos Bell

"They've got a lot of nerve."

"And there's Di Jun."

"Do you also treat me as nothing?"

"These brothers are so arrogant!"

Nüwa lifted her hand; a faint radiance suffused the air, and the essence of creation flowed.

An azure lotus blossomed, seemingly slow but actually swift, arising from nothing into being, releasing a hazy glow.

The azure lotus just appeared.

The chaos embodied by Donghuang began to tremble, and the Chaos Bell shook incessantly, clearly suffering great disturbance.

This azure lotus naturally suppresses chaos.

It can suppress chaos, restore order, the Grand Dao of Creation, nurturing the supreme!

No matter how turbulent the chaos, facing this azure lotus it can only become its nourishment, serving as someone else's dowry.

This is Nüwa's Dao, Nüwa's method, an unsurpassed divine ability, interpreting the ultimate of creation.

"Nüwa… is amazing!"

Many deities sighed in awe.

"Even if the Dao Ancestor suppressed part of her power with the Heavenly Dao's sacred position, the combat strength she could still display is so astonishing, making us envy and long for it."

"Donghuang, Di Jun… we're in trouble."

"With Nüwa and the Grand Minister of Destiny stirring up trouble like this, I don't know if the Heavenly Court can still save face."

"Hehe!"

"I never expected… I never expected!"

"This banquet actually lets us watch such a great show and eat such a big melon."

"This trip was worthwhile!"

The Great Luo beings present widened their eyes, watching intently.

At the same time, those with their own stances secretly fanned the flames in the dark, influencing and interfering with things.

In top-tier battles, even mighty beings can't intervene.

But beating the sidelines is no problem.

For example, the Heavenly Stars Grand Array.

This array is unmatched in grandeur, its divine power shocks the world, and its complexity is endless.

But.

If this star field were torn apart, that stretch of sky blown up… it would definitely have an effect.

Great Luo deities standing with the Wu Clan secretly began small maneuvers, indirectly aiding Nüwa.

Of course.

The Demon Race's demon gods also wouldn't stand idly by, covertly defending and counterattacking.

In a moment, the smell of gunpowder spread, and a scalp‑tingling melee erupted.

No one knew who their opponent really was—because it kept changing.

You can't say that when that guy gets the idea, he rushes the tower… it's hard to tell.

Unidentified intrusions, various stepping‑stone interferences…

Each Great Luo deity sat upright and solemn in the hall, looking like honest folk.

Only heaven knows just how many black hands this lot stretched out in the dark, stirring things up here, smashing things there.

The Wu‑Yao game continued.

But it's quite interesting.

At this moment, Gonggong Wu Ancestor acted honest, as if blind and deaf—seeing nothing, hearing nothing, knowing nothing, utterly unaware of the great melee unfolding.

Moreover, at Mount Buzhou, the eleven mighty Wu Ancestors also lowered their flags, silencing their threats.

This was to avoid giving the Yao a handle.

After all, the Donghua Emperor now causes a great uproar, proclaiming the need to rectify the Heavenly Court's laws and remake the rules… but this rests on a premise, assuming non‑exceptional circumstances.

If the Wu Clan gets too rowdy,

then the Demon Emperor could justifiably declare a special wartime state, in which everything must yield to the Dao.

Donghua unwilling?

Fine.

Please, Dao Ancestor, observe.

Have people investigate the Dao.

It is reasonable to strip the Donghua Emperor of his Grand Minister of Destiny post, so that justice can no longer be his sword.

In that instant he was left sitting helpless, pushing Donghua into a pit, forced to retreat.

Therefore, the Wu Clan couldn't betray its allies, so it abandoned overt oppression, instead interfering covertly and assisting indirectly, leaving the battlefield to Nüwa and the Grand Minister of Destiny—those two who hold official positions in the Heavenly Court.

As for this situation,

The many bigwigs in the Heavenly Court understand this all too well.

Which people are traitors, holding the big flag, yet go against the big flag.

Which people are rebels, with a steadfast goal: to overthrow the Heavenly Court and make themselves the boss.

They know the score in their hearts.

But the need to whitewash peace makes everyone secretly understand while feigning ignorance, each one putting on an act.

Di Jun has his own goal: to take the human race's envoy as a first strike, killing a chicken to scare the monkeys while erecting a target for the demonic path, to strike at the swelling Nether River Demon Ancestor... thus, Kui Ox Great Sage had a mental breakdown.

East Splendor Emperor actually helped the human race, but openly raised the banner of reform, frantically chopping Kui Ox while shouting the principle of equality.

East Emperor wants to maintain the Heavenly Court's stability, starting from reality, wanting to knock down East Splendor—from a certain angle, this Heavenly Court military commander is the most straightforward, without many devious thoughts, always direct.

And Nüwa?

From the alliance relationship, from the strategic goal, she is all about protecting East Splendor.

But these, she likewise will not speak aloud, cannot reveal the rebel's nature.

Simply, she casually copied East Splendor Emperor's slogan, claiming to act for the reasonable benefit of humanity and all beings, strongly supporting the advancement of fairness in the laws, to oppose East Emperor and Di Jun.

As for that, when she wants to throw a punch, she might mix in a bit of something else to vent the anger of being slighted or even ignored.

Nüwa tilted her head slightly and thought—

She, the Great Nüwa Empress, is that a petty goddess?

In this vast Honghuang, who doesn't know that she, Nüwa, is most magnanimous and broad-minded, bearing no grudges?

That is why she will now strike with all her might.

That is entirely to break up a fight!

As for possible mishaps, if the attack target goes wrong... well, these are just small problems!

Nüwa, thinking this way, struck with three-tenths more force.

The green lotus rose and fell in her palm, opening the vast chaos, expounding the wonderful principle of eternal creation.

At the same time, it also raised a dangerous omen in the hearts of East Emperor and Di Jun.

Nüwa's power—she, the supreme empress who controls the source of creation for humanity and all beings—is certainly not easy to deal with!

"Hah..."

Di Jun let out a long breath.

Nüwa's martial threat must be eliminated.

But he cannot free his hand... otherwise suppressing the lively East Splendor would not be easy.

So Di Jun slightly turned his body, sending a divine voice transmission.

Afterwards he relaxed his mind, no longer paying heed to Nüwa's intimidation.

—Such a posture is nothing short of adding fuel to the fire.

Nüwa's striking force increased by another three-tenths.

Of course.

This also shows Di Jun's confidence in his backup, that he can surely suppress Nüwa's runaway tendency.

Then.

The next moment.

In Fengxi's astonished gaze, under the stares of many Great Luo who were dumbfounded.

The wanton might and ferocious aura rolling off Nüwa... was actually blocked!

There was such a divine being.

He placed his hand on that jade hand Nüwa extended, halting her offensive momentum, so that the green lotus could not advance even a bit.

Nüwa blinked slightly, struggled twice, wanting to break free.

However, it could be faintly seen that she seemed unwilling to exert too much force, being very cautious.

So that result could be considered predetermined; resistance is doomed to fail.

That hand was steady, constantly pressing her so she couldn't move, unable to support East Splendor, causing this Grand Minister of Destiny to fall into the situation of being kicked around by the two demon emperors operating the Heavenly Circuit Star Dipper Great Formation.

Allies were besieged, she herself restrained—immediately, Nüwa was dissatisfied.

She slightly turned her body, turned her head, strained to widen her eyes, using this window of the soul to express her attitude and emotions.

—I'm fierce!

—I'm angry!

—If you keep pulling my leg, the consequences will be severe!

The girl tensed her pretty face, making an angry, furious expression.

But this effect seems not very good.

"Sigh..."

In a light sigh.

One hand pressed down on Nüwa's Xihuang, leisurely extending the other hand, curling the middle finger, and flicked it at Nüwa's brow.

"Pop!"

A very crisp sound.

But at this moment, it caused many divinities who witnessed the scene to secretly suck in a cold breath, wondering whether they should sneak away from here to avoid being crushed by unknown residual waves later.

As onlookers, they felt shock.

And as the person involved...

Nüwa first looked dazed, her little head tilted back, then immediately covered her brow with overlapping hands—this is completely a smooth, practiced set of motions, an instinctive reaction from countless similar experiences.

Under this instinct.

What ultimate move, green lotus—everything was tossed aside, utterly unimportant.

Of course, it was quick.

Nüwa reacted, started stomping her feet, "You you you..."

"What do you mean 'you'?"

Xihuang glanced at her askingly, "Nonsense, even that needs a limit."

"The Grand Minister of Destiny is like this because it's his duty…… so he communicates so passionately…… What are you fussing about?"

"How am I causing trouble?" Nüwa lowered her hands, then crossed her waist, speaking firmly, "For fairness, everyone has a responsibility, everyone should speak up!"

She was full of presence, very imposing.

However, the red mark on her forehead that Xihuang painfully struck with a "killer blow" weakened her dignity considerably, adding a touch of cuteness.

"Not in position, don't plot politics." Fuxi said calmly, "Have you finished your work? Just switched careers like that?"

"Besides... speaking up is speaking up, yet you also started to act?"

"This is not good, not suitable."

He looked at the somewhat unwilling Nüwa, smiled, "I know what you're thinking... weakening this, public opinion that..."

"I understand completely, and I have no intention of interfering too much."

"If you have that ability, it's not unacceptable for you to call the shots at home."

"However, you can have a will to win, but you must also consider the bigger picture."

"Strengthening oneself comes first…… if the foundation is strong enough, the so-called authority will naturally follow; why use those petty tricks? If the pattern is insufficient, you lose breadth, too petty."

"Since you approve of Emperor Donghua's proposal, you can protect him afterward, letting his ideas spread to humanity; there will be justification."

"The Grand Minister of Destiny now stands at the crest of the wave, upholding righteousness; even if the demon king could remarkably capture him, execution would still be impossible."

"On the contrary, you are also a member of the demon king's retinue; how could you act against your peers?"

Xihuang patiently advised, "Even if you wholeheartedly think for the Heavenly Court, loyal and unwavering, but your means are too hasty, inevitably making subordinates laugh, with suspicion of leading the Heavenly Court into turmoil, needlessly creating misunderstanding and suspicion."

"If again attacked by those with ill intent, spreading rumors, the Heavenly Court would certainly lose some popular support, but you would lose even more of people's hearts."

"Perhaps you don't care…… but humanity originates from your hand, considered your inner disciples; they are still growing, and implicating them is not good."

"The timing is not right."

"There are golden opportunities; it's better not to miss them if you can."

"Even if it would be a win-win, it's still better than a lose-lose—for humanity."

"Moreover, the demon king may have disputes, but on key issues their stance must be consistent."

"Do not let allied races see the joke."

Xihuang's gaze swept over the not-far-off Gongong, "The Heavenly Court's decision-making body must stay calm, to handle in the coming time some sinister magical sect members, who under the pretense of today's Emperor Donghua's proposal for legal changes, secretly stir up trouble and fan the flames."

"That is what will truly affect the foundation of the Heavenly Court."

Fuxi the Great Sage said much, mixing in many obscure suggestions.

This sovereign, speaking from the standpoint of humanity, advised Nüwa, while also giving an alternative countermeasure.

All roads lead to the ultimate goal.

Nüwa's radical path may eventually lead to a schism.

This makes the demon king who points at the Heavenly Court for profit feel anguished, and also makes the sovereign who neither does good nor wants evil feel torn.

Thus.

They then stood together.

Xihuang, as representative, pointed out another path.

Wu and demon can contend with each other.

But also don't mess up humanity into a mess; in the end everyone ends up competing in awfulness…… that would be somewhat embarrassing.

"Hmm…… this is not unacceptable."

Nüwa's eyes lit up, with three parts delight in their depths.

"Also true, upholding fairness doesn't necessarily require personal involvement."

"Afterward organizing personnel to discuss, provoking deep thought among the masses, is also a good method."

"The Heavenly Court has buffer time and space, humanity……"

Nüwa's voice became indistinct.

Her eyes rolled around, her heart full of many thoughts tumbling.

At last, Nüwa's expression turned solemn, she clenched her face, "We sovereigns, sacrifice the small for the great, pursue the prosperity of humanity, virtue boundless, must keep sight of the whole picture."

"The matter of Emperor Donghua needs detailed discussion; cannot rush, cannot seek speed."

Her voice clear, looking at the battlefield where the two demon kings intend to suppress Emperor Donghua, "Everyone, please follow me to cease hostilities!"

"Also!"

"Grand Minister of Destiny of Emperor Donghua, your impulsive actions should warrant an apology to the two sovereigns…… meanwhile, rest assured, the Heavenly Court's conscience remains, ever mindful of its original intent, never to be forgotten."

"The Kui Ox matter will surely give your domain a just outcome, not letting humanity's masses feel chilled!"

This time, Nüwa genuinely mediated.

No longer as before.

Called mediation, actually adding fuel to the fire, wishing both sides would beat each other's brains out, herself rolling up her sleeves to join.

"Young ones can be taught!"

Xihuang sighed with satisfaction.

"Your bill, we'll settle it later!" Nüwa added fiercely.
