Chapter 478: After years, the black pot is finally cleared; the most noble alliance!

A thousand years of time passed in an instant.

The aura of the Great Calamity's conquest settled and accumulated ever more in the Honghuang world.

However, the top echelons of the Wu and Demon races are checking each other, waiting…… They wait for their own arrangements to be completed, to push forward Pangu's progress.

It is the common folk who suffer, feeling the heavy, enormous, terrifying clouds of war, that restrained buildup, as if a heavenly blade hangs over their heads but never falls, and you do not know when it will drop!

This is the most dreadful torment—especially for immortal beings.

If one also knew a bit of heavenly secrets arts, they could constantly divine and see the inevitable future calamity, behold mountains of corpses and seas of blood covering the land…… Such unparalleled mental pressure could drive mad the vast majority of heavenly secrets masters.

Disaster descends!

Inescapable!

Sometimes, dying in ignorance is not without happiness.

Knowing the future clearly yet unable to change it, dying while awake…… This is the nightmare of many masters of the Easy Dao.

Knowing heaven is easy, defying heaven…… impossible, because one would have to shatter all the Great Luo realms—this is an achievement only Pangu can accomplish!

Of course.

If one could, under such mental pressure, remain rational and calm, and try and strive to change fate…… such a mental journey could not fail to create miracles, to achieve transformation from cocoon to butterfly.

The Great Derivation fifty, the Heavenly Dao forty-nine, still leaves a thread of life!

A pity.

In this world, the outstanding are always few, the majority are ordinary and mediocre…… When organized, they can indeed write and create history; otherwise……

According to statistics.

Over the past millennium, under the Heavenly Court's rule, the Demon Race society saw its crime rate rise by over ten percentage points; even in the largest markets with top-tier defenses, summed across regions, smashing and looting incidents still numbered in the tens of millions…… let alone the smaller markets.

This forced the Heavenly Court's Directorate of Fate to therefore establish and issue corresponding regulations, beginning to allow local garrisons and market guards to possess extremely high initiative——

As long as I suspect you have a problem, and you do not immediately lie down and expose your belly in submission, I can take the Heavenly Court's issued prohibited implements and talismans, blast you to pieces on the spot, and I shall still be blameless!

Meanwhile.

The Heavenly Court's Directorate of Fate, representing the entirety of Demon Race society, acknowledges the sanctity and inviolability of individual demon property, as well as the private exclusivity of personal mansions…… Whoever dares to trespass a demon residence, whether to steal or to kill, upon discovery by the owner, immediately gains unlimited right of self-defense; even if they kill the intruder, no one can hold them accountable!

Great Demon Race, that is how free it is!

And conversely, the Wu Clan, which can also be called the human race…… from top to bottom, they require more order.

Although speaking of the yield rate problem, there always emerge bizarre fools, accounting for one ten-thousandth or even one hundred-thousandth of the total, which are not insignificant voices.

But overall, it still lets the Ancestral Wu, the Human King, etc., feel at ease and content.

Without so much nonsense, overall it is a coalescing trend, same will, same direction of effort, maintaining the stable development and harmonious progress of the entire civilization system centered on the human race.

This made Fengxi sigh more than once, fortunate that he is mixed with the human race…… if he were a demon, what would become of him?

Perhaps under the influence of so many free-spirited demons, this leader of his would be led astray, his hand unconsciously moving to the core…… no, to the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation, shouting to let the world feel pain, and a bloody fierce battle would arrive prematurely.

How could one still steadily carry out work, on one hand resisting the Demon Race elite's gradual advance in the spacetime layer, building forts, linking thoroughfares, posing the same threat to the Heavenly Court headquarters; on the other hand employing orders to suppress, clashing with the Dragon Master System in verbal battles of tens of millions of rounds, hardness mixed with softness, softness mixed with hardness, guaranteeing the unshakable supreme status of the Human Royal Court Fire Master System.

Besides the above, which counts as external work, Fengxi, this generation's Wind Lord, must also attend to internal affairs——most of which are inseparable from Nüwa.

Human Race Completion Plan!

Heir Apparent Backup Plan!

Fortunately.

Compared to the difficulty of external work, internal…… actually brings Fengxi to tears.

"This is finally not nightmare-level difficulty; it can only be called difficult."

"Difficulty is good!"

"I, the king, can still finish it!"

Fengxi sat alone in the Human King's hall, murmuring softly.

As he spoke, his tears began to flow——

The baby is full of grievance!

These years, what kind of days has he been living?!

With Paoxi gone, that greatest protective umbrella is gone; he became the Human King…… damn, anyone dares to come provoke him!

The Heavenly Court's Demon Emperor does not meddle in human affairs; Fengxi accepts that——they are demons, not humans.

However, among the Ancestral Wu, Gong Gong also does not get along with him, desperately dragging his legs, pulling his balls!

All kinds of brutal social beatings make Fengxi long for the good old days——either Fuxi shielding him, or Nüwa shielding him, to block wind and rain, so he need not face such enormous pressure directly.

How wonderful is that?

Unfortunately, today, no one can give him support.

He is the Human Emperor!

He must be strong himself, face wind and rain, and fight side by side with his comrades!

He must face everything, bearing pressure that ordinary clanspeople cannot imagine or endure…… all along, he must not care about his reputation at all; if needed, he would jump into a cesspool!

Bearing infamy, he sits and watches countless rumors clamor——among them are the people's pure curiosity, and also the dirty water smeared by hostile spies with ill intent.

Even sometimes, it is himself behind the scenes fanning the flames, truly "I blacken myself"!

This is a kind of indescribable sacrifice, solely to match the advance of one strategy after another…… until initial results are seen, stirring the people's hearts, can one then see the document proclaiming his innocence published, the grievance redressed.

Fengxi lifted his trembling hand, and beneath it lay a thick stack of the Human Clan Gazette.

"Regarding the clarification of the contemporary Wind Lord's private life issues……"

"The Wind Lord's overnight stay at the Wu Clan hotel was to exchange advanced cultivation knowledge between the human and Wu systems, with no improper male-female relations……"

"The compilation of the Plain Lady Sutra, the human and Wu systems jointly emphasized, was merely a misunderstanding, a proper academic exchange, and the Wu Clan's Xizi, Ancestral Wu, specially organized this related discipline considering human women's childbearing difficulties……"

"The human representative—Wind Lord, and the Wu Clan representative—Xizi, signed a friendly mutual assistance strategic partnership agreement, wishing the friendship between humans and Wu to last forever, as enduring as Mount Buzhou!"

"……"

Fengxi looked at these articles, and after a long, long while, he let out a long sigh with mixed feelings.

The Human Completion Plan initially showed results.

For this, he didn't mind bearing all kinds of blame to guide the clan's curiosity—Wu Clan hotels learning foreign languages, bedroom secret arts surpassing humanity…… Besides, being young and single, he willingly became a father, surrounded by four little girls calling him "dad" in public.

These "little girls" swept away all peers of their generation in talent and potential—from cultivation aptitude and insight to conduct and governance; in just a thousand years, each endured 129,600 confrontations, crushing and subduing all challengers' ambitions, bringing them under her command.

The clan unanimously praised them, acknowledging they bore the demeanor of a king, their ability and virtue sufficient to inherit the throne—qualified successors.

The choice of heir apparent was basically settled.

Of course.

Gossip about great figures has always intrigued the common folk…… Especially such an outstanding heir, the current Feng Hou always speaks vaguely.

Countless humans, while not saying it aloud, had their hearts stirred, wildly imagining hundreds of millions of words of moving, tragic love stories of gods, demons, immortals, and monsters.

The male lead—Feng Hou; the female lead, to be determined.

And then, inadvertently, a minor rumor spread: the four adorable "little girls" have the Wu Clan as their mother tribe, a perfect match with humanity, which is why they could give birth to such heaven‑endowed talent!

Thus.

No need for the Heavenly Court to issue orders to force guidance.

The clan members below then began to stir, one romance after another unfolding spontaneously, giving birth to the fruits of love.

In fact, other matters might be pitfalls, but only in the union of humans and Wu is there no problem.

Bloodlines merge, humanity is completed!

At this point, with a little design and guidance, the human populace naturally presses the upper Heavenly Court, hoping to resolve this lifelong matter.

No need to compel by order——that would give the schemers of the Heavenly Court too much room to maneuver.

After all…… it's the clan's own choice!

I, the Fire Master, haven't forced you, have I?

By relying on this, controlling marriage…… Fengxi also managed to somewhat turn the tide against the Dragon Master.

The Heavenly Court issues wives/husbands, each excellent…… look at the Dragon Master's side? He can't do that!

Thus, people's hearts became much more at ease.

To this, the Dragon Ancestor felt gloomy and helpless.

The Wu Clan, after all, ultimately listens to Nüwa…… that is the greatest matchmaker.

He not only has no recourse, but must also face backlash from the Heavenly Court.

——That touring performance, to become an idol, Hou Yi's final destination is the Eastern Barbarians!

The organization has already decided.

To have the most outstanding idol superstar of this era—Comrade Hou Yi—marry a noble lady from the Eastern Barbarians!

This is a union laden with great political color.

On one hand, it is the human‑Wu alliance blowing a few gusts of wind in the Dragon Master's system.

On the other hand, it is also a symbol of friendship between the Human Heavenly Court and the Eastern Barbarian tribes—is there a more beneficial, cost‑free method than marriage alliance?

The Heavenly Court's chief archer, and the Eastern Barbarian tribe's outstanding noble lady……

Fengxi has already ordered Hougang to arrange such a love story.

As for this political marriage, will it ultimately bring happiness?

Fengxi spread his hands, revealing a helpless expression that said, "He's a single dog, how would he know?"

For now, Hou Yi is still on his way to the Eastern Barbarians.

Moreover, according to feedback from the Eastern Barbarian side's human system regarding negotiations with the Fire Master's Heavenly Court, that noble lady is also preparing.

Hou Yi's future wife is currently on her way from the womb.

Her status is absolutely noble!

Daughter of the Emperor!

In the Eastern Barbarians, who is the Emperor?

Usually, that is none other than the White Emperor, right?

Everyone thinks so.

Fengxi privately thinks—White Emperor Shaohao, that really is quite the go‑getter!

He secretly switched sides, and to strengthen cooperation, he even insisted on having a daughter for the marriage alliance?!

"I feel…… this style is somewhat off compared to that of the Eastern Hua Emperor."

Fengxi muttered to himself, then shook his head, casting the matter behind him.

"Forget it, forget it, I have no melon in the rain……" He rubbed his brow, casually flicked, and those bulletins slid to the side, presenting matters needing attention: "I'd better worry about arranging the heir apparent."

"However, although there are four candidates, the result has already been decided internally."

"After a brief walk‑through of the formalities, everyone goes home, leaving only one girl as the heir apparent."

"It's also a case of the weak leaving, the strong staying……"

Fengxi summed it up, and it became roughly clear.

At his current standing, setting aside cultivation, purely in terms of combat power, with the tremendous boost of imperial stature and the will of humanity, he is truly formidable—like a Heavenly Dao Saint!

Unbeknownst to him, nearly half of the ancestral Wu whom he once had to look up to can now do nothing against him.

Except for Dijiang, Zhu Nine Yin, Gonggong, Goumang, Houtu—these five Taiyi Daluo—and the deeply hidden Zhurong and Tiānwú, whose status is uncertain…… the remaining five ancestral Wu are actually just that.

Fengxi, whose realm is insufficient and who relies on external aid, has combat power hovering at the edge of Taiyi—such a figure makes the best gatekeeper.

At present.

These "little girls" pretending to be delicate—behind their identities are easy to guess: aside from Nüwa, there's the lazy mascot Goumang, and the rest are mostly those few ancestral Wu portrayed by female powerful diviners.

And to Fengxi, these ancestral Wu are just one word—

Trash!

He really started fighting.

He could beat them all to tears.

Of course.

Beating them to tears is one thing; afterwards…… there will certainly be the harshest retaliation.

After all, they have someone behind them!

You know, in the Honghuang world, many outstanding goddesses can call upon Grand Simplicity-level fighters!

Like Taiyuan Yunu, her relationship with Yuanshi Tianzun is ambiguous.

Like Xuansu Shenü, her relationship with the Central Heavenly Emperor Huangdi is strange.

Like Doumu Yuanjun, she has dealings with the Western Buddhist Dao lineage.

Like Xijin Jinmu, she once worked with Donghuadi Jun, handling the immortal clan, and is still a close confidante of Nüwa!

Also like Xihe and Changxi sisters, they are directly the companions of the Heavenly Emperor Di Jun.

……

The Grand Simplicity Grand Luo behind them, then greet their brothers and sisters and such……

Pull this relationship network, who would dare to lay hands on those outstanding women for no reason?

Indeed, all the Grand Simplicity cultivators in Honghuang have united together.

Hmm.

That's also not right.

There are also a few loners.

Minghe, Gonggong, Hongjun, Zhulong, Di Jiang.

These few have no girlfriend, no brothers; one person eats his fill, the whole family doesn't go hungry.

No need to worry about a girlfriend, just let her drink more hot water; also no need to be affected by brothers' affairs, social interactions inevitably drag one into some right and wrong.

I coldly watch, laughing at the world!

Now, adding a Fengxi, we can easily form the Glory Single Nobles Alliance, huddling together for warmth, to oppose the immense shadow of the Honghuang Goddess Alliance—being single is justice!

"Eh?"

"Not right?"

Fengxi, lost in random thoughts, blinked.

"I am a loyal fan of Lady Nüwa, and I have nothing to do with these guys……"
