How dare you be so bold; sooner or later I will let you know the consequences!

Nüwa said fiercely.

Fuxi, this guy, actually dared to flick her forehead?

Who gave him the nerve!

"Such audacious rebellion, I've taken note of it!"

In Nüwa's eyes flashed the words "holding a grudge"; what Fuxi did today, in front of everyone, was like disciplining a disobedient little sister, seriously provoking her status as the eldest, which must be noted in the little notebook.

Yes.

Although everyone knows that Fuxi and Nüwa are siblings.

But the parties involved don't see it that way, feeling that she is the eldest in the family… the other one?

Just a younger brother.

A mere matter of birth date, how could it stop the steps of a Great Luo?

Impossible!

If it weren't for the wrong timing, Nüwa would have already raised the banner of rectifying the source, achieving her supreme dignity, making up for the final shortcoming—

Among the three thousand Great Luos, whoever sees her must respectfully address her as Nüwa, even the Dao Ancestor wouldn't dare be rude; yet there is a slippery fish who, at home, calls her "little Nüwa, little Nüwa" like a grandfather, ordering her to run here and there, back and forth, under the pretext of tempering her abilities, which contains the elder brother's painstaking effort.

Cannot tolerate.

Merely from the perspective of personal achievement, Nüwa also knows deep down that she truly is no match, and must temporarily yield.

But there is a saying: those with ambition will succeed; after arduous years, the green lotus becomes the mother of the Great Dao; those who painstakingly strive, heaven does not betray them; after overcoming myriad difficulties, Nüwa turns around and sings!

Nüwa's rebellious heart… no, it's her ambition; her ambition is so strong that in the Heavenly Court she openly raises banners and rebels, the Wu Clan harbors the ambition to overthrow heaven; in the Zixiao Palace she wrestles with the Dao Ancestor, wanting to pull the human race to race freely on a smooth road, kicking the Heavenly Dao into service as a tool… about half of this is forced upon her by Fuxi.

Otherwise, given her love for food and her diligent research, how could she now be so earnestly tempering herself, having painstakingly mastered sage emperor techniques, managing the entire Wu Clan in perfect order?

If one day Nüwa achieves fame and success, perhaps she herself will have to admit that it would not be possible without the relentless pressure from the great sage Fuxi behind her.

Of course, gratitude is gratitude.

How were we treated back then—what's 007? Working overtime to the point of near sudden death?

All of that is to use the elder sister's identity to give care back to the younger brother, one by one.

Nüwa, has great ambition.

And as for his thoughts about his own sister… how could Fuxi not know?

As a veteran fire-player, he knows exactly how powerful the flames he ignited himself are.

But he, relying on his skill, is bold.

Since he dares to play with fire, he must have a means to extinguish the raging flames of rebellion at the critical moment, ensuring he can step down safely, his family status remains firm, proving the principle that "your brother will always be your brother."

Xihuang, at this moment, is smiling gently.

He and Nüwa lock eyes; through the window of the maiden's spirit, he sees a little figure diligently recording in the little notebook, while also hearing Nüwa muttering harsh words under her breath… the corners of his mouth rise higher, his smile becoming more warm and brilliant.

As an elder brother, he is very cultivated.

Therefore, regarding Nüwa's current performance, he is so tolerant, not holding her actions against her, nor her arrogant words.

As for the thoughts deep down…

"My foolish little sister."

"With you as you are now, you also want to contend with me?"

"You're still far too lacking!"

"However."

"Strategically, I can look down on you."

"But in actual execution, I must take you seriously."

"Mm… I need to do this, this…"

Turning a wonderful thought in his heart, Xihuang, after his smile, puts on a helpless expression, like seeing his child grown up, no longer needing protection, feeling both comfort and loss; regarding the path she has chosen and embarked upon, he holds a different view yet cannot correct it—because she seems even more outstanding than himself.

This sovereign's acting is on point.

"That wasn't intentional on my part; I'm just accustomed to the way we used to interact."

He verbally yields, yet prideful in spirit, "Little sister, if you can achieve something in your endeavors, that too should be met with magnanimity; why bother quarreling with me?"

"Hmph… scared now? What were you doing earlier?" Nüwa feels a little smug, her mood very relaxed and pleased, "Rest assured, looking at your appearance, I'll lessen the consequences for you later."

"Remember, this isn't me being soft-hearted; it's just because you have a good attitude in admitting your mistake."

Nüwa, whose spirit has risen again, with a red mark on her brow, issues orders energetically, beginning earnest mediation.

On the surface, she mobilizes the loyal, dutiful demon gods and Great Luos of the Heavenly Court who follow the demon emperor's orders; secretly, she lets the great witches and ancestral witches of the Wu Clan, incarnated to attend the meeting, stop their covert sabotage, likewise bringing it into the open.

Finally, both sides join forces, together going to separate and slay out the passion, thoroughly merging fire of the Donghua Emperor and the two great demon sovereigns.

It must be said.

Nüwa truly excels at winning hearts; she indeed has ability and charm.

Like the Heavenly Court.

Although the vast majority of demon gods know what tricks this lady is playing, it's simply a major rebel sitting there.

But when she mobilizes manpower to do things that do not directly hinder or harm the demon race's overall situation, they more or less give her face and obey her commands.

Even though the reasons behind this are complex.

Some consider the future: even if Nüwa loses this era, who knows if she won't return in the next era as a major figure of the calamity, giving an eye sore to anyone she dislikes, hard to withstand.

Some look at the present, the real big patrons, in many aspects directly a cooperative relationship.

Some reminisce about the past, over the long ages Nüwa has repeatedly helped others in distress, sponsoring one Great Luo after another to start up, or being generous and open-handed, sharing wealth together.

One aspect after another combines to form Nüwa.

Precisely because of such divine charisma, the Dao Ancestor regards her as the greatest rival of this age, another player capable of sitting and discussing the Dao, engaging in strategic opposition.

Now.

When she changed her previous troublemaking attitude, took command on the field to stabilize the situation, the demon god who knew the truth in his heart readily agreed, joined forces, turning into a mighty torrent to separate the two warring sides and calm the affair.

All turned into a single blade.

Following Xihuang's will, he struck down, deciding the future direction.

Regarding this, some were oblivious, thinking it was a good choice they made based on their own interests, like Nuhuang.

Some also took this scene to heart, tracing cause and effect, reading the trend, confirming some information; a gleam flashed in their eyes, the scales in their heart swayed toward one side, they made up their minds to follow whichever powerful figure.

Xihuang seemed to sense something.

He raised his wine cup and offered a distant toast to a certain row of seats—where the heavyweight powerful beings who had joined the Heavenly Court this time were seated.

Immediately, someone responded.

The Kunpeng Great Sage, appointed as the Demon Master, returned the toast with a simple, honest smile… everything was understood without words.

……

"Adjusting the stars, resetting the cosmic light!"

A forbidden move of the Zhou Tian Star Duel Great Formation was unleashed.

Under the demon sovereign's command, this great formation is truly complete, not to be taken lightly.

Even a mighty being who has entered the Taiyi level can no longer run rampant and slaughter at will.

Of course, the Donghua Emperor is now truly ferocious off the charts.

Holding a sword.

Hacking here and there, shouting slogans of fairness, jumping about nonstop.

Within the formation, killing intent grew heavier, and attacks became ever more terrifying.

With one sword, the emperor severed ages, severed the Myriad Heavens, severed the Great Dao, gradually erasing all defined attributes of all things, falling into the void of extinction, making existence return to nothingness.

This is reversing the primordial five extremes, returning to the emptiness of Taiyi.

If it truly comes to that point.

What myriad Dao, what laws—all things with form must cease to exist; only a single primordial spiritual light of a Great Luo can still hop about, but even that cannot stir up wind and waves.

When the wind is gone and the waves are gone, what is there to stir up? What to do?

That Zhou Tian Star Sovereign will immediately be struck down and kicked out of the battlefield.

If we say, an ordinary-level Great Luo is a common existence among the Honghuang administrators, while a great divine ability user is like the chief of various groups, able to suppress the administrators.

Then a Taiyi-level titan is even more fearsome in stature—a ruthless one who can tamper with code, rewrite rules, and even, if pressed, blow up the server, leaving nobody able to play.

Fortunately, the Donghua Emperor hasn't reached that extent; he can establish some rules, erase certain definitions, but hasn't gone too far down this path.

If it were the Dao Ancestor here.

That would be truly tearing apart the Zhou Tian Star Duel, running rampant, unbound.

How could it still allow the two great demon sovereigns, Taiyi and Di Jun, to fight with increasing ease?

The Eastern Sovereign struck the Chaos Bell, vast and boundless Chaos, exhausting the cosmic star sea.

Di Jun, meanwhile, turned the starry sky, defined the cosmic light, letting the murky Chaos evolve forward, restoring the primordial five extremes, ultimately forming a vast heaven and earth, therein writing the order and reason of the Demon Race, condensing into the supreme mighty trend, cleaving Donghua to suppress it.

The two demon sovereigns formed the main array, assisted by the Zhou Tian Star Sovereign, with ancient stars as the base; their powers perfectly united under the formation's command, moreover drawing power from the Honghuang cosmos… This Pangu who opened heaven hid his Dao and reason, even refining his Dao fruit's vast world; part of its might was drawn, moving the Donghua Emperor and making him feel pressure.

He can format, play with data deletion, reduce attributes to zero.

But he cannot withstand it, for there is too much to format, and its self-replication and derivation ability is extremely strong.

"I still fall short in the end."

The emperor, who could still preserve himself in the formation, let out a long sigh, his voice moving the star sea, transmitting to the eight wildernesses.

"The burdens accumulated from the old era are really too many and too great……"

"I sought fairness for all beings, but in the end found my power insufficient!"

The Donghua Emperor raised his voice in a long howl, the sound full of sorrow, carrying great infectious power, causing countless people and beings to feel moved, inexplicably tearing up.

It also gave the two demon sovereigns black lines on their faces.

"Still acting even now……" the Eastern Sovereign's mouth twitched, "still placing oneself on the side of justice."

"Is this meant to nail us all as the great villains?"

He and Di Jun exchanged glances, both feeling speechless.

"I suddenly understand now the mindset of the Dao Ancestor in the Zixiao Palace back then." Di Jun chuckled lowly, "Truly a court where the righteous fill the hall."

"Truly a loyal and righteous gentleman."

"Truly one who worries for all beings."

"It's really too good; the goodness makes me want to kill."

"And thus it lets me know."

"When Pangu first opened heaven and earth, why was there a purge of the Chaos demon god, with an axe swing and frenzied slaughter?"

"Just to vent!"

"Of every mighty being able to sit in Pangu's position, how many can have smooth sailing?"

"They all have to scheme and contend with capable, ambitious subordinates, using wit and courage to push them toward their desired direction, while also guarding against those who would exploit the situation for personal gain."

"Each one, having gathered twisted qualities and conditions…… even if the Dao heart is steadfast, if they catch a reasonable venting opportunity, they will surely go all out to kill!"

"Slaying the Chaos demon god is merely one of the endless spacetime manifestations of us Great Luo beings in the Chaos era—quite normal indeed."

Di Jun spoke softly.

"Mm, that's also right." The Eastern Sovereign nodded thoughtfully, "However I've heard that back then Pangu slaughtered too much; in the end, looking back at the demon god's utter extinction, his heart felt sorrowful, so he shed tears."

"Hehe." Di Jun responded with two words to the Eastern Sovereign's hearsay, "What you've heard, I've also heard."

"But do you believe it?"

"I used to believe in it." Taiyi sighed. "But after today's incident, I don't really believe it anymore... The so-called 'wise ruler and loyal ministers' is just a beautiful lie; there are always a few traitors in the inner court that make people grit their teeth in hatred."

His subordinate, the Grand Minister of Destiny, defecting like this, being able to do this... He pondered, not even needing to consider whether he could become Pangu.

Now, he just wants to beat Donghua to death!!!

Unfortunately, this emperor is just too tough.

Their cultivation is extremely high, their battle power extremely strong; even if they are that pair of demon emperor brothers, having gathered the Zhou Tian Star Lords as underlings and formed a great formation to kick, they still couldn't be killed in a short time.

Donghua is too strong, his strength is somewhat unreasonable... Even if he is a mighty figure renowned since the most ancient times, he shouldn't have such power." Taiyi whispered, his eyes deep.

In our era, there are only a few at the Great Simplicity level, each holding the greatest amount of authority.

The Dao Ancestor is the Heavenly Dao.

Nüwa holds the authority of creation, she is the source of human life's Dao.

Xihuang crafted merit and fortune, once gave money to all Great Luo beings, and everyone respected him.

Minghe oversees karmic industry; combined with Xihuang's system, it's fining and beheading, covering all punitive measures, plus the demon sect's whole white-glove role, serving as support to enforce our heavenly will's dignity.

These people achieving Great Simplicity makes sense.

Plus some other specials, having cleared the connections, cannot be underestimated.

But Donghua, what does he rely on?

I admit, the immortal Dao he introduced has infinite potential... but that should only be manifested in the future to show such strength.

Right now, he is merely my subordinate, the Grand Minister of Destiny... I am still wandering at the edge of Great Simplicity, going back and forth; how could he reach this step?

So, he has a problem.

Taiyi looked toward Di Jun.

Of course I know." Di Jun smiled and nodded, his voice lowered, also using isolation methods, "He has someone backing him behind the scenes... but it doesn't matter.

Some deals have long been settled, mutually understood without words; you needn't worry he will affect our overall situation.

We just follow the original plan... if he steps out of line, we kill him, that's all.

But, now we probably can't kill him...

Di Jun's eyes flickered, "Someone doesn't want him to have problems... look."

This intervention, isn't it here?
