Chapter 383: The Ideal Outcome——Sibling Black Manor!

Who is it, who quelled the flood disaster, eliminated the floods, and restored the mountains and rivers!

Who is it, wielding the Xuanyuan Xia Yu Sword, sweeping aside all who refuse to submit!

Who is it, who forged the Nine Provinces Divine Cauldron, commanding the world!

Who is it, who ended the Human King's abdication, sealing the verdict for the entire era!

——It is Da Yu!

As soon as Yuan Huang mentioned flood control, Nüwa immediately thought of a figure she had only heard rumors about, a mere rumor.

It seemed to be merely the title of Human King.

But nothing about Qian's affairs is simple!

"This is an absolutely formidable figure who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Five Direction Heavenly Emperors," Nüwa thought, this idea arising spontaneously.

"If it were merely simple flood control, that would amount to nothing."

"But if its essence is controlling dragons and pacifying the seas?"

"Then that would truly be extraordinary!"

"That's also right."

"I've heard that the great flood was very suspicious."

"Even if the divine earthly object Xirang were scattered upon it, it could not be completely resolved."

"Without some world-shaking great power driving it behind the scenes, how could it be possible?"

"That Dragon Ancestor fellow, with his thick brows and big eyes…… who would have thought he actually harbors such ambition?"

"No wonder."

"When I first organized the Ancestral Witch Battle Team, he was so enthusiastic."

"It turns out he was actually aiming straight for Pangu's exalted position, huh?!"

Nüwa reviewed the past, furrowing her brow.

"Over these years, I have guarded against the Demon Race, been on guard against Hongjun, investigated the Human Race's Five Direction Heavenly Emperors…… sparring with this one, sparring with that one, in the midst of busyness I forgot the special product of the Honghuang world——good comrades."

"But don't let it end up that I fight heaven and earth, blast apart Di Jun, Hongjun, Huangdi, old brother, one by one, only to have my lair stolen by the Dragon Ancestor…… then I would truly be nailed to the pillar of shame, unable to get down without ten or eight Great Calamities."

"A lifetime of invincible fame, all buried here…… a great stain on divine birth!"

Nüwa's lovely face tensed, her expression extremely solemn.

"But speaking of which…"

"That Dragon Ancestor, that old schemer, his methods are so ruthless, yet he is also full of grandeur and righteousness, forcing all living beings to follow their survival instinct, involuntarily embarking on the Path of Dragon Transformation…… amazing."

Either die.

Or become a dragon.

There is no other choice.

This is the most aboveboard yang plot, transforming into an overwhelming force that sweeps away the withered and breaks the rotten.

"But if one can still break and counterkill against such a mighty force, letting the Dragon Ancestor's efforts come to dust…… how strong must Yu be?"

"That good-for-nothing old brother achieving this extent…… is probably impossible, right?"

For a moment, Nüwa became very interested in Yu.

However……

"This Yu is more mysterious than the Five Direction Heavenly Emperors, and also hard to find."

"Really wanting to find him would waste too much energy, and might not yield any result."

Nüwa thought it over and had to give up.

Too mysterious!

With the information she currently possesses, there are hardly any leads.

The only lead whose truth is uncertain that could be connected is related to Zhurong and the Ancestral Witches.

Yu's father——Gong, failed at flood control, and moreover the Heavenly Emperor flew into a rage, causing Zhurong to kill him on Feather Mountain!

Da Yu inherited his father's mandate and succeeded in flood control.

If we really reckon it up, this Human King is probably not on friendly terms with the Ancestral Witch faction.

Not risking one's life is already not bad.

Nüwa reckoned in her mind and felt a faint hint of sorrow.

It seems, maybe, perhaps…… the Human King faction and the Ancestral Witch faction have feuded for eight lifetimes?

Love and kill each other, ah!

Their mutual contradictions are too great.

Thinking this, Nüwa suddenly felt a sense of having the will but lacking the power.

Others draw their swords and look around, hearts bewildered, unable to find an opponent, lonely and invincible.

But when it comes to her?

Drawing her sword and looking around, surveying her surroundings——

Good fellow, enemies everywhere!

The Heavenly Court's Di Jun and Taiyi twin stars, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun representing the Heavenly Dao, the Honghuang standard companion Dragon Ancestor, the Human Race's Human King faction……

Nüwa felt, her heart weary.

Just that.

An inexplicable feeling made her unconsciously look toward a certain direction.

There, it was indeed Xihuang and the newly arrived Lingbao Heavenly Venerable chirping away, no, they were discussing education.

The Great Sage Fuxi rarely lowered his stature, earnestly seeking advice.

Lingbao ah!

As a teacher who has the most female disciples, may I ask how you train your disciples?

There is a saying: one day as a teacher, a father for life.

The number of your female disciples equals the number of your daughters.

How do you make your daughter obedient and loyal?

Please do not hesitate to give your instruction.

After saying that, Xihuang pretended to sigh, "Alas, I also have a daughter... but she won't listen!"

"Eh? You have a daughter?" Lingbao Tianzun stared back in surprise, "How come I didn't know?"

"Older brother is like a father!" Xihuang rubbed his palms, dead serious, "I have a younger sister, which is equivalent to having a daughter."

……

Nüwa turned her head with a dark face.

At this moment.

Her mindset was explosive.

But at the same time, her fighting spirit was exalted to explosive levels.

"No matter what monsters and demons stand before me... I will definitely annihilate them all!!!"

"Pluck Pangu's laurel crown, then trap that guy at home and beat him up ten thousand times!!!"

Nüwa silently swore an oath.

It's really infuriating!

Clenching her small fists, she withdrew her focus and negotiated with Yuanhuang, "Things like Great Yu are too distant and also too unstable."

I think we should still play our current hand well; that is the kingly way.

Nüwa's attitude was clear-cut.

"That's the reasoning." Yuanhuang agreed, "Fate is still more reliable when held in one's own hands."

"Donghua guy is in cahoots with Fuxi, luring the Phoenix Clan into the fray to balance the Dragon Race... I think that works." Nüwa calmly thought, "To prevent the Dragon Race from too quickly overwhelming human ideology, add an extra layer of insurance."

"I also think that way... after all, it's at least your property, little Wa, and moreover, among humanity, it's the prime time for our women to display their might and start building a matriarchal clan." Yuanhuang said, "How can we not let the Dragon Race crash headfirst and bleed?"

Yuanhuang firmly supported Nüwa.

However, she also had worries: "However, that Dragon Ancestor fellow is truly not easy to deal with."

Moreover, to hold out for long is to surely lose!

"When the Heavenly River tilts and falls, all choices are narrowed... there is no choice!"

Yuanhuang sighed.

"Other rivers are fine... but the Heavenly River?" Nüwa coldly snorted, turned to look at a female adept with great divine powers, "Ziguang sister... if one day the Demon Race is defeated and the Heavenly Court collapses, can you quickly take control of the Heavenly River to prevent petty scoundrels from opening the sluice and releasing water?"

"This... is not difficult." Doumu Yuanjun thought for a moment, readily agreed, "I am in fact beloved by many star deity friends, honored as the Lord of Myriad Stars."

"If Di Jun does not interfere, then my command over the star hosts would be most reasonable."

At the first moment, I can control the Heavenly River, so no one will have a chance to open the sluice and release water.

"That's good." Nüwa smiled satisfied, "The Dragon Ancestor's strategy is good, but given the current united stance of humanity and the Dragon Race, I cannot easily suppress it."

But I will directly seal the Heavenly River's waterway... let's see how he can still toss and turn.

Doumu Yuanjun wanted to speak but held back; Yuanhuang the deity wanted to stop but speak... After they glanced at each other, they spoke together, "In theory, Nüwa, your method poses no problem."

"But I'm afraid that at that time the Dragon Ancestor won't play by the rules." Yuanhuang pointed out bluntly, "To let the flood inundate Honghuang, besides the regular procedure, there are also wild ways."

"Directly blow up the dam!" Doumu Yuanjun's eyes turned fierce, "Then I would be powerless."

"Coincidentally." Yuanhuang continued, "In the whole Honghuang, there is indeed a critical point that is of utmost importance to the universe."

Bu — Zhou — Shan —

She paused word by word, her tone stern and lethal: "Sever this mountain, and the Heavenly River will fall of its own accord, turning heaven and earth into a water kingdom."

The common folk must either turn into dragons and merge with it.

Those who do not turn into dragons, who stubbornly resist, and who possess cultivation enabling them to soar through the heavens... but then, it will be the aquatic race's home turf!

Troops can be easily dispatched, moving with the water, to exterminate the resisters.

"Hiss... does he dare?" Nüwa was utterly moved, "Severing Mount Buzhou is too insane... I usually just think about it."

"Alas." Yuanhuang shook his head, "Our female divinity is still better."

Those male powerhouses who stand at the pinnacle as Great Luo supremes—who isn't resolute, tenacious, and decisive to the extreme? Each is a most stunning hero!

Even if tens of thousands oppose me, I will still go forward!

Yuanhuang was deeply moved.

In response, if some people heard this, they would likely smile and give a thumbs-up.

Like a certain Dao ancestor, who is plotting the Boundless Great Calamity plan, revealing the Heavenly Dao's merciless indifference.

Also like a certain demon emperor, who clearly knows that if he rebels, his offspring must be offered to heaven... yet he will absolutely not retreat half a step.

Also like a certain Grand Minister of Destiny who aspires to reform, knowing that reform must succeed, he himself must tread the path of no return, yet he still presses forward resolutely.

Now.

An extra flood of Honghuang, leaving the common folk with no choice...

Standard procedure.

Looking at them one by one.

Then you will know how terrifying the minds of those male powerhouses standing at the absolute peak are.

……

"Severing Mount Buzhou is no small project." Nüwa pursed her lips, "Only those who have attained Taiyi Great Luo can do it."

Dragon Ancestor is barely managing; can his subordinates find such loyal death warriors?

But he can go up himself. Yuan Huang said.

Mount Buzhou broken, waters flood Honghuang... this karma is huge. Nüwa shook her head. "Back then, the Human Dao will surely have a fierce reaction."

Holding responsible parties accountable is inevitable.

It's fine if Dragon Ancestor stays behind the scenes.

But if he directly crashes into the mountain, the Human Dao will surely settle the score, announce compensation, and put him on the blacklist of the untrustworthy, resulting in huge losses.

But... Yuan Huang's smile turned playful. "The one who crashed into the mountain was Gong Gong; what does that have to do with Dragon Ancestor?"

Moreover, even if reported, Gong Gong is Dragon Ancestor... but do you remember?

There's a kind of operation that's both slick and excellent.

She leaned back slightly. "What does 'running onto shore' mean?"

As long as you run fast, you can be a deadbeat!

While the Human Dao investigates the relationship between Gong Gong and Dragon Ancestor... if Dragon Ancestor attains the Dao of Pangu, runs onto shore, and transforms into an international friend...

What you want to catch is Dragon Ancestor; what does that have to do with an Azure Pangu Dragon?

At worst, the Human Dao pays compensation, sacrifices an incarnation, and thereafter gains transcendental freedom.

I have to say.

That old dragon is still quite capable. Yuan Huang sighed. "He has the potential of Pangu."

In the previous era, during the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity, he failed... mainly because the opponent was too strong, and he was crushed head-on.

With countless schemes, the Dragon Clan is mighty, yet cannot withstand the emergence of the Way of Fortune.

No way.

The Way of Bills is the eternal Great Dao.

The three thousand Great Luo ask only one thing: "Do you get paid well for work?"

One sentence, and Dragon Ancestor is questioned to death.

Complete withdrawal.

But now, this card of fortune has been used up... the Dragon Ancestor feels capable again.

The whole dragon can float up.

Want to take him down?

Who knows how much hard work that would take.

Yuan Huang sighed.

Nüwa's expression turned troubled as well.

Looking at this, I need to make preparations early.

After a long silence, Wa Huang spoke wearily, voice weak: "If that fellow Dragon Ancestor really cuts off Mount Buzhou and pokes a hole in the sky, I'll go right away to patch it up."

As she spoke, she gritted her teeth: "He'd better hope he succeeds in one go... otherwise, I'll become the Human Dao's enforcer, chop this old dragon into millions of pieces, and ransack his home!"

Upon mentioning "ransacking the home," Nüwa's eyes instantly brightened, as if very interested.

Then I wish you success in mending the heavens. Yuan Huang smiled blessingly, then her expression shifted slightly as she pondered: "Mmm... simply mending the heavens is actually just passively receiving attacks."

When Dragon Ancestor acts, he will surely choose a juncture where you are unable to attend to him.

Striving to swallow the largest share of the Human Dao, seizing your fruits of victory.

But... her eyes glinted. "If at that time a hero like Great Yu steps forward, directly grappling with Dragon Ancestor, suppressing the Dragon Clan, resolving the flood, to buy you the most crucial time."

When you return, with a single hand mending the heavenly gap... the two would perfectly coordinate, seamlessly connect, as if directly sending Dragon Ancestor away?

Then.

Over the years, the Dragon Clan has shed blood and sweat for the Human and Wu Clans, helping to conquer vast lands... yet it seems to have utterly become a bridal veil, completely swallowed by the Human Clan.

Yuan Huang said with interest: "The Heavenly River tilts, waters flood the world."

The Human Clan are the victors, with Great Luo existing, still able to preserve primordial energy.

The defeated Demon Race is miserable.

Having lost top-tier guardianship, and further sabotaged by Dragon Ancestor, they must choose between integrity and survival.

Those with talent and integrity will still be heavily struck by the Water Clan under the Dragon Clan's command, wiping out the vast majority.

The surviving resistors of the Demon Race, after this, nearly all perish... who knows how many hidden dangers are swept away, leaving a blank slate.

And the Human Clan need only beat down the Dragon Clan to directly obtain a complete victory fruit!

Yuan Huang simulated, then suddenly exclaimed: "This, starting from the Human Clan, is the ideal outcome."

"Hey!" Nüwa shook her head. "The ideal often means the least possible."

Mending heaven and controlling water, perfect coordination?

Such seamless operation can only exist in a black manor!

Where can I find such outstanding, perfectly compatible teammates?

Not necessarily? Yuan Huang covered her mouth and smiled, her eyes inscrutable.

"'There is a kind of black manor, called —'"

"'Sibling black manor!'"
