Chapter 479: with translation of title
Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor!
The Heavenly Empress and Heavenly Consort are about to give birth!
Di Jun heard, calmly set down the document in his hand, his gaze faded, heaven and earth trembled, 'I know.'
Convey my decree: have the Heavenly River navy transport the Zhou Tian Star Dou Grand Formation, allocate some of its strength to guard the He Xu Palace, and protect the safety of the Heavenly Empress and Consort during their childbirth.
When the Heavenly Emperor thinks, it is a command to the Primordial Yellow; his golden words and jade utterances naturally move the cosmic order, becoming the supreme edict.
Although unable to achieve complete unification, all of heaven and earth submit; yet the Star Sect and the Demon Lord still possess immeasurable power.
In an instant.
The star river turns, the ages shift!
Countless demon soldiers and generals obey the supreme demon emperor's edict that echoes through past, present, and future, setting the ancient stars in motion; that vast, inconceivable power even causes time to shift and change course in the palace where the Heavenly Empress and Consort reside, turning it into a void wasteland—the strongest protection and isolation; even the Taiyi Great Luo cannot fathom it, unless they enter personally, creating something from nothing and evolving a path.
But...
Does this crazy act really treat the Heavenly Court's peak powerhouses as dead?
Heavenly Emperor!
Eastern Emperor!
Kunpeng!
Báizé!
And there's Xihuang Fuxi, the Grand Minister of Destiny, Eastern Emperor... These two are quite problematic; in the eyes of many 'clear-sighted people', one is the Green Emperor August Emperor straddling two boats, the other is the White Emperor Shao Hao hopping left and right.
But in the end, one has already retired among humanity, while the other is still 'pretending' to be a loyal subject, not yet openly rebelling.
If something happens to the Heavenly Court, how could they just sit and watch?
They will certainly take action to show their stance.
Six Taiyi titans together constitute the peak power of today's Demon Clan Heavenly Court, serving as the main pillar of this enormous clan!
Coupled with the protection of the Zhou Tian Star Dou Grand Formation...
Whoever dares to come, we dare to bury!
However...
This Di Jun fellow really underestimates our magnanimity.
In the human royal court, the little girl, small in stature, sits on the solemn heir's throne, her feet not touching the ground, dangling in midair, swaying slightly.
She looks disdainful and indignant, addressing the nonchalant 'father emperor' Fengxi, accusing, 'Are we really such lowly people?'
How could one take advantage of another's wife giving birth to launch a military invasion, even sending elite teams to attack the Heavenly Court's headquarters, ruining offspring?
As for this defensive posture, a thousand or ten thousand times more vigilant than guarding against thieves, not even allowing observation, divination, or calculation?
The girl's tone is agitated.
"Hmm..." Fengxi tilted his head to listen to the girl's shouting, his brows visibly knitting together, he pondered for a moment.
Finally, he let out a soft sigh, moved one hand away from the talisman beside him, and with the other hand set down his diary, flipping to a certain page.
On that page is recorded an event that occurred on some year, month, and day in past years, which Fengxi has highlighted.
That kind of mark, signifying that revenge will surely come someday!
After all, even to this day, Fengxi cannot let go of that grudge.
He, he almost choked to death on drink?!
Back then, Fengxi was weak, not even knowing who dealt the dark blow... but now he knows!
After arduous investigation and deduction, the truth finally became clear—this Di Jun bastard didn't escape!
Knowing the enemy makes everything easy.
Especially this kind, with endless new grudges... he is the Heavenly Emperor, I am the Human King, our camps are opposed—just fight and it's settled!
New grudges and old hatred combined, the more Fengxi looks at the Heavenly Court, the more displeasing it becomes.
A gentleman's revenge is never late even after ten years; a villain's revenge is from morning to night.
Fengxi considers himself capable of perfectly accommodating both the gentleman's and the villain's attitudes toward revenge; he possesses an ultra-retentive grudge attribute—pulling the list, not just ten years, but ten Great Calamities are no problem; at the same time, he can ponder from morning to night how to retaliate, tooth for tooth, eye for eye, leaving the opponent with an equally unforgettable memory.
Now, he has waited for this moment!
What he intends to do is... similar to the despicable act the girl scorns.
Taking advantage of the special period when the Heavenly Empress and Consort give birth, the Heavenly Court suddenly has a weakness; he and the ancestral witches act together, striking directly at the Heavenly Court, causing the princes and princesses to die at birth, forcing Di Jun's multi-birth strategy to be continually postponed.
At the same time, the great army mobilizes, attacking the Heavenly River, striving to seize in one fell swoop the garrisons the Heavenly Court has established over the years, gaining the upper hand in the situation!
This is the most favorable outcome... actually, even if only one of these is achieved, Fengxi considers it worthwhile.
Unfortunately... unfortunately.
Fengxi looks at the girl, shaking his head slightly with resignation.
This little ancestor, being able to think along with him, is originally a good thing, but... the concrete actions are worlds apart.
He, Feng someone, insists on having no taboos; the girl, however, has a bottom line.
"Just... in war, deception is not disdained!"
Fengxi sighs inwardly, 'Seizing every opportunity, winning, is what matters most.'
"Afterward, however much benevolence and righteousness you display, it doesn't matter—that's called the magnanimity and compassion of the strong."
"You now, with such a kind heart and hand..."
"Besides!"
Just then, the girl's indignant, cold laughter continued to sound, echoing in this empty hall: 'Di Jun, do you know?'
Your two wives' relationship with me is no worse than yours!
You're so guarded—does it help? Does it help?
The girl muttered, gradually becoming haughty and arrogant: 'I see you don't even know clearly who to guard against or how to guard!'
I not only do not want to harm Xihe and Changxi, but I also hope they can keep striving...
The girl's voice gradually lowered.
Fengxi watched this scene, and some thoughts in his mind came to an abrupt stop.
Kind-hearted and soft-handed... no, no, no.
'Her Highness... is actually quite scheming!'
Fengxi's gaze was strange.
'The level of developing this dark plot is not ordinary...'
He briefly wondered which mysterious figures were in the ancestral witches' lineup, and then the corner of his mouth twitched up.
'Perhaps...'
'Tiānwú and Zhurong's cattiness... I now understand...'
Fengxi blinked, burying these thoughts deep in his heart without speaking them.
Finally, after looking at the resplendent palace of the Heavenly Court under the starlight, he lowered his head and proceeded with his duties in an orderly manner.
Until a certain moment.
Hmph!
A cold snort shook the vast cosmos; starlight poured down a thread from the ancient starry sky, yet his divine might was boundless—if the universe were to overturn, the star sea would flow through the world.
In contrast, the four seas surged, the boundless green sea rolled, stirring the universe, the sea and sky meeting in a line, exhausting the Dao's appearance, as a thread of starlight rose to meet it.
Boom!
The stars shifted, the seas turned to fields.
This was an instant clash of two peak powerhouses!
Huh?
Fengxi and the girl both raised their heads, gazing at the world beyond—countless powerhouses made the same motion.
Wow!
The girl exclaimed, 'Dragon Ancestor, this guy, how bold can he be?'
A lone dragon dares to probe the inner workings... tsk tsk, Di Jun is going to be angry!
Something seems strange...
The girl tilted her head, propping her chin with a small hand, looking thoughtful.
'Perhaps they've been winning little victories against the Demon Race these years, so their mindset has swollen,' Fengxi guessed with a smile, raising his eyebrows, 'Besides, Dragon Ancestor at least mixes with the Wu Clan... the ancestral witches' bizarre manifestations are either dragons or snakes, their influence huge.'
He provoked the Demon Race, our natural enemy—can we just watch him get beaten to death?
Fengxi shook his head, 'But he probably has a sense of measure in his heart; he won't go too far.'
He gazed into the depths of the void, where a azure dragon-like form that could span ancient and modern times struck across the ages, facing off against a golden crow capable of burning all Myriad Heavens.
The Dragon Ancestor's dragon body stretched out, boundless and limitless, he commanded all the waters of the world... even to the end, they were no longer mere water.
Between heaven and earth, all rivers, lakes, and seas obeyed his command——
The Nine Heavens' Star River is also a river!
Shijian Changhe is also a river!
The Primordial Qi Sea is also a sea!
The Void Great Sea is also a sea!
All cosmic phenomena and the myriad aspects of the Great Dao were encompassed by Dragon Ancestor's Water Dao... then his dragon body collapsed and withdrew!
From nothingness came transformation; the Myriad Heavens arose on their own!
Within the void, driving the evolution of the five primordial phases, I achieved boundless domains, all rules set by me... this is the level of the Great Simplicity, possessing the most terrifying power!
In response, the Heavenly Emperor Jun gazed coldly, behind him unfolding the Golden Crow's divine form, the light of the great sun shining eternally.
In countless myths, this saying is passed—the sun is the most precious, the most honored!
Its light is the source of all life's birth; its cycle is the reliance of time's turning……
If one says, Dragon Ancestor's methods are great inclusivity, great coverage, culminating in great unity, the supreme divine Dao ultimate; then Di Jun is transcendent, shining upon all, spreading light, guiding the operation of the universe and life forward.
And at this moment, these two ultimates collided!
That was the grandest Dao manifestation, endless destruction being released; also the minutest ripple, for even the rules of destruction were remade, so the aftermath of the battle would not affect this side of heaven, earth, time, and space.
Emerging from nothingness, they confronted each other there... the two boundlessly mighty ancient god sages, their forms blurred in the eyes of the myriad gods, making it hard for outsiders to discern the concrete process.
'Unable to hear the Dao and watch the battle is truly regrettable.'
Who knows how many Great Luo sighed.
Such exchanges among great figures, contending in the Dao, are truly rare.
But they don't know, and even those curious onlookers who are Great Luo of the Great Simplicity don't realize……
The two peak Wu-Yao powerhouses currently fighting also have a hidden secret.
……
'Cang!'
Di Jun's tone icy: 'My wife is giving birth, and you come to stir trouble?!'
'Stirring trouble? No, no, no.' Dragon Ancestor said calmly, 'I merely think this is a very good, very proper open-and-above-board exchange opportunity, and incidentally it can clear some suspicions and dispel future entanglements.'
'Oh?' Di Jun flared up in anger, then laughed, 'So you're saying I should thank you?'
'No need for that.' He shook his head, 'I only want to use this opportunity to remind you, time is precious.'
'Don't drag out the matter of besieging Donghua too long.'
'You're quite anxious.' Di Jun said indifferently.
'Maybe a bit.' The Dragon Ancestor didn't deny it, 'The Fire Master's side has recently been using many dirty tricks.'
He does not take the usual road; he specifically picks odd side paths to drill through.
Relying on matchmaking and marriage to win people's hearts... Does that even make sense?
Follow the Fire Master and you'll win a spouse... Using the lower body to sway the upper body is also unbeatable.
That's enough.
Now it's even more excessive!
The laid-back drum-beating celebrity idol, that Hou Yi fellow, wanders around in front of me all day, getting on my nerves...
Just wandering would be bad enough... But then rumors spread that he and the Heavenly Emperor's daughter have mutual affection!
This is to plant a big nail, blowing the Fire Master's influence completely into my Dragon Master's territory!
This is no good for either of you or me." Dragon Ancestor looks at Di Jun: "Winning over my subordinates and keeping a vengeful mindset is not easy."
As the White Emperor's influence among humanity grows deeper, when disaster strikes... I fear some great shamans won't stand by and will change their minds.
That's why.
If you still want to kill the White Emperor, then hurry up.
Dragon Ancestor reminded.
This is the reason he so openly attacked the Heavenly Court this time, and he even picked such a special moment.
Of course, behind this there are also some inner details he doesn't want to elaborate on.
Naturally... it's to whitewash himself afterward!
Look.
Look at how vicious Dragon Ancestor is, storming the Heavenly Court, aiming to kill the Heavenly Empress and ruin her offspring—what a huge grudge!
With such hatred, how could he later collude with the Heavenly Court to jointly besiege the White Emperor's son, Shaohao?
Right?
That doesn't make sense, right?
Although this reasoning doesn't hold up, it's only meant for the masses; for the higher-ups it's transparent... but that's enough.
Dragon Ancestor is just putting on a show... While being the killer, he also acts as an enthusiastic spectator, assisting in the case handling.
This is actually using Di Jun as a knife, putting on a show.
Di Jun also understands this reasoning.
After carefully sizing up the Dragon Ancestor from head to toe, the Heavenly Emperor finally nodded, "Alright, I understand."
However, I don't want such things to happen again... Forget it.
Di Jun seemed to think of something, then changed his tone: "It doesn't matter."
Everyone has their position, and will naturally use any means... I just hope that in the end, no one bears resentment or hatred.
If one's methods are inferior, death is deserved... Isn't that right?
The Heavenly Emperor smiled faintly.
"Exactly! Exactly!" The Dragon Ancestor also laughed along.
"Well, then let's leave it at that." Di Jun reached out and pressed forward.
The Dragon Ancestor, in tacit understanding, also extended a palm.
Bang!
In the tremendous roar that shook ancient and modern times, as the two figures separated, two blinding beams of blood light burst forth, flashing into the eyes of the intently watching gods.
Master! Master!
Each other! Each other!
The two movie emperors grunted in displeasure, withdrawing to their own territories, thus ending the conflict.
Sigh..." the girl withdrew her gaze, muttering, "Why don't they just beat the other side to death?"
Fengxi, meanwhile, frowned slightly.
He... sensed the aura of a fellow practitioner.
Jun... are you alright?
In the Palace of Union Emptiness, the soon-to-be-delivered Heavenly Empress Xihe's face turned ashen as she looked at the Heavenly Emperor: "Gonggong... that Dragon Ancestor bastard, how badly are you hurt?"
My lady, don't worry, I'm fine, it's not a big problem.
Di Jun wore a relaxed expression, but his hand unnaturally pressed on his shoulder: "That Dragon Ancestor fellow, though he's among the oldest of the old gods, is very powerful."
But the new generation replaces the old!
Now I'm not inferior to him, and may even be stronger!
Then that's good..." Xihe exhaled lightly, her eyes then filling with anger.
Dragon Ancestor, he's bullying people too much!
He'll surely get his comeuppance someday!
My lady, you're about to give birth... don't get easily angry." Di Jun advised, "Haven't I told you all this? I'm fine, the injury isn't serious."
You're you, I'm I..." Xihe pouted, "I'm about to have a child, and he comes knocking at the door?"
I've noted this down here!
