Chapter 489: then translation of title

No taboos at all!

With no absolute powerhouse looming overhead, that's something I can shout out and actually do—this generation's innate divinities are no good; I want to overturn everything and start anew, a ruthless god!

The top-tier great divine ability users were ecstatic, each one no longer honest.

If it were in the past.

Don't talk about it being so rhythmic, marketing brainwashing... it's simply relying on job convenience to squeeze out an extra hundred or eighty thousand.

That board will definitely be struck down, and be severely dealt with by the Heavenly Emperor.

——Even one's own sister couldn't escape; bankrupt she wanted to cry, she stood on the rooftop, eyes reddened indicating she wanted to jump down, but her brother coldly smirked: "If you want to jump, jump fast—anyway you won't die, just putting on a show for whom?"

Now.

Even if we're having this much fun, so what?

Even if the common folk know the root of the problem, who's shearing their wool... at most it's self-penalty three drinks, PR one or two, next time still dare.

As the saying goes.

Small things have no issues; big things must have issues.

But if the matter is too big, then it's all fine again.

What if... the matter is ridiculously big?

Hmm.

Then we have no choice but to ask the former highest figure to take the blame!

Alright, this is Honghuang, cultivation civilization thrives, the strong don't die, Pangu is still lively, coldly observing the world, no one dares to dump the blame on his head, openly criticizing.

But... isn't there Luo Hou?

If the matter blows up, we just arrange for this Destroyer Demon Ancestor... the Demon Ancestor himself is used to it.

"Our tactics are very successful!" Houtu said excitedly, "From now on, we must press on and expand our victories, understand?"

"Understood!" Nine ancestor witches replied in unison.

"Huh? Di Jiang? Lei Ze? Fengxi? Why aren't you speaking?" Houtu's eyes shifted, somewhat strange.

Di Jiang frowned slightly, Lei Ze was simple and honest, Fengxi wanted to speak but hesitated... finally, Fengxi spoke first.

"Houtu Ancestor Witch, I just feel… this operation, we went too smoothly, too smoothly beyond imagination, the Heavenly Court's resistance doesn't match expectations at all." Fengxi hesitated, saying, "Let me worry, is there some plot?"

"I feel the same!" Lei Ze followed up, simple-heartedly echoing.

"I also think there's a problem…" Di Jiang said faintly, "On the Heavenly Court's side, there are indeed wise ones capable of handling such matters."

"Di Jun isn't some fool—doesn't he have a sense of his children's abilities in his heart?"

"Once he sees the situation going wrong, he definitely won't stubbornly persist, letting his children purely sacrifice themselves; he will certainly personally intervene and command a substitute."

"Specifically, one can refer to the human royal court, the fire master's current heir… that short little girl."

Di Jiang calmly said some unsavory content, instantly making the hall's atmosphere subtle, the tension between Houtu Ancestor Witch and Gonggong Ancestor Witch was off.

However, now is exactly the time for everyone to get rich together; interests can serve as a buffer barrier, so we can barely sit in the same room, and not throw daggers with our eyes, planning to kill with glances.

"Perhaps it's because the Great Destiny's offensive is too fierce?" Jumang Ancestor Witch chuckled, easing the atmosphere, while offering his personal guess.

"Maybe." Di Jiang Zu Wu neither affirmed nor denied, "but the Heavenly Court isn't lacking other capable people."

"Everyone think carefully, don't be too arrogant… which side, the Wu Clan or the Demon Race, has higher IQ? Hmm, no, which side's heads are more cunning?"

Di Jiang let out a long sigh, "On the Heavenly Court's side, besides Heavenly Emperor Di Jun, there's also Xihuang August Emperor and Yao Marshal Báizé, such top strategists."

"The remaining high-ups, Qinyuan na, Shangyang na… are also not easy to deal with."

"Look at our side… like Gonggong Ancestor Witch, he can even ruin himself; also like Jumang Ancestor Witch, back then he was confused and sidelined, turned into a mascot ornament."

"Only the Daoist friend Zhulong is better, ranked top-tier, can contend."

"We're suffering some losses."

"Now… the opponent is so quiet, several big cores haven't come out to cause trouble, making me feel the current victory results are unsteady."

"Little sister Houtu, don't be arrogant!"

Di Jiang was instructing and advising.

"Hmph!" Houtu snorted coldly, face drawn long, "Di Jiang, what do you mean by that?"

"Am I nonexistent? Or am I an idiot?"

"The Heavenly Court has top strategists; in our Wu Clan, besides Zhulong, am I not?"

Houtu raised her head proudly, "I'm not like Gonggong, blind as hell, can't even see problems with my subordinates, still strongly supported, finally got backstabbed, person gone but money remains!"

"Taking the dragon as teacher, I shall not return!"

"……" On the side, Gonggong Ancestor Witch clutched his chest hard, face twisted, looking like he wants to vomit blood.

He stared with big bell-like eyes, fixedly watching Di Jiang and Houtu as they communicated——

You two, just communicate if you're going to communicate!

You just casually stab a knife into my heart… what does that mean?

Dig up my black history?

Don't I care about face?

Besides, I've turned my face!

Hit you two… hit you one… forget it, a good dragon doesn't fight women, a solo duel with you Di Jiang is enough.

What the heck is this!

If you can't speak, say less!

"Alright alright… little sister Houtu is icy-clear smart, wisdom crowns the world." Jumang interjected, saying a couple nice words to ease Houtu's mood, "but what Di Jiang said isn't without reason; the Demon Race's response is indeed somewhat unreasonable."

"We cannot be careless, leading to failure in the upcoming operations."

"Right." Zhu Rong suddenly said somewhat complexly, "Beware of a counterattack… although it's our fire, but this blaze is uncontrollable, nobody knows if it'll end up burning us."

By then, the fun will have gotten quite big.

Hmm, this is indeed a point to note. Torch Dragon nodded, "The Wu Clan is fine; those selected initially were all resolute human heroes, who, to guard the borders and protect the clan, upheld their lofty ideals, could persist in executing the most difficult battles in the harshest places."

On the human side, however, the ideological front needs to be carefully weighed." He looked at Fengxi, "Human King, Your Majesty, how are humans nowadays? How is the ideological construction?"

Not bad." Fengxi pondered slightly, gave an answer, "Designed according to Lady Nüwa's original intention, taking a relatively harmonious path."

On one hand, acknowledging and pursuing the path of ideals; on the other hand, also accepting reality and handling issues dialectically... For this, they also agreed to approve the transmission of the Morality Heavenly Venerable's school of thought, so as to become a timeless philosophy.

Under heaven everyone knows beauty as beauty, therein lies ugliness; everyone knows goodness as goodness, therein lies not-goodness. Therefore, being and non-being produce each other; difficult and easy complete each other; long and short contrast each other; high and low incline toward each other; sound and voice harmonize with each other; front and back follow each other.

Fengxi softly recited a passage from the scripture written by the Morality Heavenly Venerable.

This Heavenly Venerable's theory acknowledges that beauty and ugliness coexist, goodness and evil are both present... Many things do not exist as absolute purity; the definition of attributes arises precisely because of contrast, giving rise to opposites that complement each other.

As a leader, one must view issues dialectically, in order to guide the people onto the correct path.

Of course.

This is also a no‑choice choice.

After all, there is such a thing as a yield rate.

Even if a factory is as precise as possible, with material and process control fully tightened, it still cannot guarantee that all products coming out are defect‑free; sampling inspection is needed.

What about living beings?

Different growth environments, different innate thinking, different educational resources… everything differs; who dares to expect the finished products to all be paragons of virtue and morality, sages?

So.

Acknowledging difference is also a kind of progress.

And the meaning of education thus arises.

Let people come to know good and evil, ugliness and beauty, accept themselves, change themselves, and gradually walk toward a splendid era of humanity.

Whoever can achieve this, educating all of humanity and all beings, naturally becomes the new Pangu!

However, this era apparently has little drama—humanity isn't even unified, educating is just hammering away!

In the age of blood and fire, the regime that wields swords and spears is still more favored, courted by the greatest masters of supernatural powers.

When will this era pass? Once Pangu's moment has shifted… people also don't mind swarming to invest in certain sect doctrines, mixing in to obtain a high‑rank, high‑authority sinecure that does no work but pays out.

"The Morality Heavenly Venerable's theory is complete, meeting Lady Nüwa's requirements." Fengxi said, "However, the demands placed on leaders are rather high."

"A sage brings forth but does not possess, acts but does not rely on, achieves but does not dwell. Precisely because they do not dwell, they do not depart."

"The difficulty is relatively high; using this to convince the masses and lead the people toward beauty."

Fengxi thought, "But I personally think that sometimes we should be stronger… after all, that might be more efficient."

"I just don't know what Lady Nüwa thinks." He looked toward Houtu.

"Actually I also think being stronger would be more efficient." Houtu said calmly, "But this is also a choice made out of necessity."

"Back then someone exerted force, achieved a unified Heavenly Court, gathered the highest authority, gained the greatest support, letting an era, the whole Honghuang, undergo nirvana‑like elevation, sweeping away the influence of all past wars."

"But so what?"

"Humanity seeks change, and human desires are forever renewing… When it comes to the issue of reincarnation, humanity's will differs from that of the Heavenly Emperor—the departed are unwilling, wishing to preserve themselves and be reborn; the Heavenly Emperor does not accept this, thinking it easy to produce innate nobility and the strong ever‑strong, which is too unfair; since it is reincarnation, he would smash everything, totally format it, not allowing even a trace of memory to slip through, thus giving rise to the most brutal war."

"At that time, aside from a few particularly special paths, the remaining Primordial Grand Luo all had to become humanity's blade, turn into demon gods, and attack Pangu, thereby severing cause and effect."

"Of course, the final outcome is also simple…" Houtu muttered, "Not a single one could fight; thousands of demon gods shoulder‑to‑shoulder, joining forces to gang up on one person, all lost, being cut down and collapsing on the spot."

"As far as I know."

"Back then, when Pangu was frenziedly slaughtering, with tears in one eye and a smile on the corner of his mouth… I was relatively close then, and could roughly sense his inner voice."

"It seems he was making a list… this so‑and‑so, on such‑and‑such a date, embezzled so much money, increasing his workload; that so‑and‑so, on such‑and‑such a date, dared to file false reports, daring to treat him as a fool to deceive…"

"Beat them to death, beat them all to death!"

Houtu reminisced, making the atmosphere in the hall very heavy.

Fengxi's mouth twitched, looking at the recollected Houtu, feeling a bit curious but not daring to ask directly—

Lady, were you back then chopped down by a great axe and collapsed on the spot?

Would Fuxi domestically abuse Nüwa… just imagining that scene makes one's curiosity explode.

However.

Fengxi may not fear death, but he does not court death.

Such questions, he only thinks about in his heart, never dares to ask outright… because it's too sensitive.

If Nüwa were chopped down by Fuxi and collapsed on the spot, that would definitely be a major black mark in her divine life, clearly proving 'Nüwa not as good as Fuxi'; no amount of washing could remove it, and in future arguments it would become a perpetual sore point.

——"I, the Nüwa Sovereign, punch Hongjun, kick Di Jun; under heaven and earth, I alone am supreme!"

——"You were beaten by your brother?"

——"I, the Nüwa Sovereign, create all things, turn the wheel of rebirth for all beings, merit boundless, who does not call me virtuous?"

——"You were beaten by your brother!"

——"Damn! Can you change the line?"

——"You were beaten by your brother."

On the contrary, if Nüwa were let off by Fuxi… wouldn't that manifest the August Heavenly Emperor's injustice, covering up for kin?

Those many offending demon gods who were slain did so because of past accounts.

Speak reason.

Back then, the most outstanding talent should have been the one whose business spread across heaven and earth—You Chao Real Estate, right?!

As a result, Nüwa was lightly let off, fined three cups of wine, not to be repeated…

Fengxi felt that this matter is better left unexplored.

He merely pulled a face, earnestly listening to Houtu recount some past events.

"Back then, Pangu and Fuxi slaughtered in all directions, invincible under heaven."

"The three thousand demon gods all withdrew…… Of course, aside from some personal grudges, this also counts as covering the bases."

Houtu said, "It's equivalent to him alone taking the blame for all the divinities, exposing this heaven-shattering matter."

Furthermore, the resentment of the three thousand demon gods who died violently, after enlightening Luóhóu to wreak havoc and destroy the world... merely staying alive is enough.

"But having experienced this once, everyone can also see it clearly."

Heavenly Emperor worked so hard; he was once the most steadfast idealist, gradually clearing away old abuses, and with his unsurpassed Way of Change cultivation among the three thousand great Luo, he overlooked the future, choosing a path to the best possible future.

Looking so far ahead, considering possible hidden dangers, planning to eliminate them in advance... but ended up failing on reality.

As for me, my ability is just enough to get by, but I also don't dare to compete with my elder brother at his peak... one's ability determines how fine a job one can do.

Just getting by, harmonizing to get along, that's enough.

Anyway, this is an era that's somewhat better than terrible.

As long as I smash the opposing Heavenly Court to pieces, swallow their assets, I can happily transform.
