Chapter 434

Good! Good! Good!

Nüwa said 'good' three times, giving verbal praise to Fengxi's little comrade for his excellent work spirit of not shirking responsibility and bravely facing difficulties.

You handle things; I've always been at ease about it.

Nüwa paced, saying, "You also shouldn't be too eager… this matchmaking business can't become a levy, forcibly demanding that humans and Wu merge."

Pay attention to reason, lay out the facts, speak openly, so that the people's offspring know this is beneficial to the present and meritorious for posterity…

A great good thing, don't mess it up into a bad thing. Besides, you must always be ready to dispel rumors.

Although Nüwa is not far from the true level of a cunning old schemer, she is a rare conscientious bearer among the top-tier great divine-ability group, specifically responsible for raising the average of moral standards.

But that doesn't mean she doesn't understand many of the cunning old schemer's tactics.

Who gave Nüwa a 'good older brother'?

After countless instances of subtle influence… in actual practice she can't do it; but if it's just armchair strategy, Nüwa still knows a bit.

Thus, she is all too aware of certain people's nature.

What Di Jun! What Hongjun!

and so on.

At this moment her thoughts turned, and she roughly guessed where these people might start if they wanted to cause trouble.

Be careful of interference from the Heavenly Court, and guard against their rumors—for example, secretly spreading rumors that human-Wu marriage is an evil plot of the Wu Clan, that the Wu Clan covets humans' reproductive ability, and thus cold-bloodedly treats humans as mere production tools, wanting to set up concentration camps, massively raising human girls, continuously mating, bearing one generation after another, producing countless mixed-blood offspring, preparing them as expendable cannon fodder in the future Wu-Demon war.

Furthermore, some human high-ups clearly know the darkness and bloodshed behind this, but because they've taken bribes, they turn a blind eye… even, a certain human king candidate actively joins in, engaging in the slave trade, ruthlessly selling his own kin, a great traitor to humanity.

Furthermore, using lies to deceive, promoting the so-called human-Wu fusion, making humans no longer human, trampling the sacred noble bloodline in the dust…

Nüwa said a lot.

She put herself in their shoes, thinking from the worst angle, guessing what the Demon Race Heavenly Court might do to stir up trouble, to remind Fengxi to be careful and guard against it.

Such rhetoric aims to defame and demonize… to sabotage the progress of the Human Completion Plan, and also to blacken the reputation and image of the entire human leadership.

You need to be especially careful.

Nüwa earnestly instructed.

Wow!

Fengxi exclaimed, eyes full of admiration and longing… at this moment he was taking out a small notebook, writing furiously, earnestly recording Nüwa's words, working hard and conscientiously like a good employee.

Although—

Even before Nüwa opened her mouth, he already had many mischievous ideas in his belly, more than what she just said, not less…

But!

We must give the leader face… not only give it, but give it fully, to highlight the leader's sagacious and mighty prowess, far-sighted.

Over the years, Fengxi's ability to stay in the emperor's favor also has its reasons.

His personal ability being solid is one aspect.

On the other hand, he has never relied on his talent to act arrogantly before Nüwa, always able to show just the right amount of admiration and astonishment…

A subordinate who can get things done and knows how to be a person deserves to rise in rank like a sudden burst.

Your Majesty… the Heavenly Court over there is actually this evil?

Fengxi showed a tense, solemn expression, asking in a straight-man style.

Of course!" Nüwa nodded heavily, "There are too many bad gods in the Heavenly Court!

Every past Heavenly Emperor has been no good!

Nüwa spoke confidently, causing her brother beside her to give a puzzled look.

This output's scope… is broader, huh!

Sister, your path… has also become a bit narrow?

Empress Nüwa, oblivious, continued to point out the realm, 'Like this term's Heavenly Emperor… uh, the Demon Race's honored sovereign should be called the Heavenly Emperor Di Jun.'

What did he used to do?

A Censor, just his surface identity.

Actually, he bears another important duty—his skill in sowing discord, splitting and crushing, etc., looking across Honghuang, he can absolutely rank among the top five!

Using information asymmetry, manufacturing rumors, setting up traps, manipulating situations… he's best at that!

The bad deeds Di Jun has done, even pouring out all the water of the four seas, cannot wash them clean!

Nüwa slammed the table hard.

Cough… Fuxi gave two light coughs, explaining a bit for Di Jun, 'Sis!'

This Daoist friend Di Jun isn't actually as bad as you say… ability is mostly neutral, the key is where it's used.

Often he spreads some well-intentioned lies… like saying a certain project benefits posterity but needs to harm the present.

Just then the Heavenly Court had no money and didn't want to consume credit, so it advanced these expenses.

So we had to let Daoist friend Di Jun manipulate behind the scenes, releasing some 'inside news', to see if anyone with insufficient IQ would jump in willingly, get fleeced, managing finances until they turned negative, thereby benefiting all of humanity for myriad ages.

Sacrificing a small part to perfect the whole collective… Di Jun is a good comrade!

Fuxi highly praised Di Jun's role in certain matters—after all, if Di Jun can't be cleared, then his former behind-the-scenes mastermind would be even less clear.

What good comrade… all crows under heaven are black!" Nüwa pouted, "The golden crow is also a crow, just as black!

Remove his golden-light skin effect, reveal his true face, and it's just a maggot with a black heart!

You say that…" Fuxi shook his head, laughing helplessly, "Taiyi would probably faint from crying on the sun star.

Taiyi…" Nüwa stroked her chin, "Hmm, he should count as a mutant, right?

But speaking reasonably, he's not much whiter either—he commands the Demon Race's weapons, and since arms love deceit, kindness doesn't command troops!

If one day he really gets ruthless, he'll definitely be one of the toughest foes!

Nüwa was evaluating Donghuang.

"Oh." Fuxi let out an "oh", then fell silent.

"In short..." Nüwa turned her head, guiding Fengxi: "When you are in charge of the Human Completion Plan, you must pay special attention to communication, eliminate information discrepancies, and resolve conscious-level prejudices."

"Not seeking speed, only seeking stability!"

"After each task is announced, you must give the clanspeople a detailed explanation."

"Work attitude must be conscientious, meticulous, thorough, and emphasize patience..."

Nüwa had many demands of Fengxi.

Fengxi listened, occasionally jotting down notes, just for show.

And in his mind, he now had a fairly mature plan, lacking only implementation.

However……

The plan Fengxi had in mind differed from Nüwa's demands—those slightly rigid, rule‑based instructions given to every human—by just a 'little bit'.

After all, he wasn't exactly an ordinary person.

Many years ago, Fengxi stopped following the conventional path.

At the very least, he was once the behind‑the‑scenes mastermind of Kunlun Mountain, rising from the Capital Games to the Reincarnation Divine Sect, earning titles such as "King of the Treasure Sword", "God Sect Boss", and "Reincarnation Poop‑er".

Nowadays, isn't it just about cooperating with Nüwa to play matchmaker?

It's nothing to make a big fuss over!

'As long as one's thinking dares to slip, there will always be more methods than difficulties!'

Beneath Fengxi's solemn exterior lies a spirit that readily soars free.

'When there is a role model taking the lead, setting an example, and doing a bit of hype… what's to fear that the clanspeople won't eagerly join in?'

'Spread the rumor—the Human King secretly marrying a Wu Maiden, solely for good breeding, so that offspring easily excel; thus he took 180 consorts, opening a vast harem…'

'Furthermore, rally the navy and temporarily promote something like free love—spanning time and space, the beautiful love story of a Wu Clan great hero and a noble human maiden…'

'Mm… the hero promoted this way can't be too ugly.'

'Tsk tsk tsk… why not hold an idol audition within the Wu Clan, select outstanding handsome men, then tour them among the humans?'

'Showcase talent, release charm, capture maidens' hearts… then I'll work behind the scenes to matchmake—wouldn't that just come naturally?'

With a turn of Fengxi's thoughts, the foul water in his belly began to churn incessantly.

This is all standard procedure!

'Let me think… who in the Wu Clan has the looks to pull it off? The time has come for them to make sacrifices!'

Fengxi silently reckoned on his fingers—

Eh! Not good!

This calculation falls on himself!

'No way… if the humans haven't won, how can we have a home?'

Fengxi painfully excluded himself.

'In that case…'

'Great Wu—Yi, would that work?'

If he seemed deep in thought, his eyes gradually grew profound, the corner of his mouth flickering with a strange smile that vanished in an instant.

……

Like this, like this……

Thus, thus……

Do you understand?

Nüwa stared at Fengxi with a solemn expression.

Fengxi nodded frantically, leaving afterimages, showing he had deeply grasped the leader's meaning.

Hah.

Nüwa breathed a sigh of relief: 'As long as you understand… this matter is of great importance, a key point in my long‑term layout.'

She raised her brows, her face stern.

The Heavenly Court as an opponent is truly not to be taken lightly.

If we want victory, we cannot overlook any detail; we must consider everything comprehensively… this war is not merely a contest of strength, but also a clash of countless hearts.

My reason for enabling the integration of humans and the Wu Clan also stems from this consideration.

Humans, Wu Clan… they perfectly complement each other.

The Wu Clan is born strong, yet lacks the experience of rising from weakness. Thus, while they could perhaps defeat the Yao Clan's opponents by force, they would struggle to quickly win over hearts; the spark of rebellion would never die, and those with intent would always find a chance to intervene.

Humans are just right to fill this gap.

Although they may cheat by cramming lessons behind others' backs, at least they keep up appearances… which greatly helps in winning over hearts.

Moreover, humans and the Wu Clan share the deepest origins.

The Wu Clan's bodies are forged from Pangu's blood; their souls, however, come from the myriad ages of human heroes.

They crossed time and space to descend, fighting to the death, thereby turning effect into cause, allowing humans to seize the position of protagonists of heaven and earth……

Cutting through thorns, wielding the sharpest blade, solely to protect.

But time… is an invisible blade that wounds.

Even immortals, after weathering the vicissitudes of ages, will have their spirits cut by a blade." Nüwa sighed softly, "I have noticed……

Within the Wu Clan, mental states are beginning to show subtle problems." Her tone wistful, "Many young Wu, back then driven by a surge of blood‑courage and my sincere recruitment, unreservedly embarked on the path of warring against myriad clans and ages.

After tens of millions of years of training and fighting, the entire clan lives and exists for war… this appears as praise, lauding the Wu Clan's fighting spirit and strength.

But how could this not be a wordless tragedy?

Ordinary cultivators still enjoy their own freedom, living at ease… when they wish to cultivate, they seal their cave dwellings, earnestly study the Dao and mystical arts to improve; when tired, they either invite a few friends to chat in the cave, or wander the vast mountains and rivers, savoring emotion.

What about the Wu Clan? Only learning, only training, pursuing a protective goal whose completion time is unknown.

Spirit numb, weary… in the end it seemed to become a tool devoid of feeling.

"Not good." Nüwa's eyes distant, "So, I will let the vitality among humanity wash away their fatigue…… let them truly understand that their endless toil is not in vain, not just empty data, how close they are to the great rise goal, but that real flesh and blood have been poured, condensed into the most precious sacrifice dividends."

"A bit of emotion, letting them directly feel——reversing the flow of time is worthwhile!"

Where the heart points, where people go, then all before them are swept aside!

Nüwa's pretty face tensed, extremely solemn.

"I, as a person, have much self-awareness."

"I know all too well…… if comparing war-command ability, I am not particularly excellent."

Purely comparing command levels, it's hard to surpass the several Yao Marshals of the Heavenly Court.

So I considered whether I could make up for it from other aspects.

I thought and thought, finally I had a vague idea——I want to build an army capable of creating miracles!

Able to, from desperate straits, fight our way out time and again, trampling all difficulties and obstacles!

First, we can try building the dream in our hearts……

Nüwa chattered on.

Fengxi listened, and instantly felt reverent.

"Milady…… you may not be the top military commander, but you will surely become the foremost expert in training troops!"

"Alas! Just knowing how to train troops isn't of much use." Nüwa shook her head, "True miracles, where are they so easily created?"

Even if we have a miraculous army…… but the enemies they face, the opposing commanders, themselves also come from miracles.

Every Grand Luo is a miracle. They can create miracles, and also strangle miracles.

"So……" Nüwa patted Fengxi's shoulder, "Many burdens now rest on you lot…… only if you can withstand the enemy will the soldiers have room to exert themselves."
