Chapter 49: Choose the Chaos Pearl, press 1; choose the Creation Jade Disc, press 2

Fengxi felt this was the happiest moment since he transmigrated.

One golden finger after another lay before him, free for him to pick… although he could choose only one, it was a slight regret.

"May I inspect them one by one?"

He shamelessly sought the greatest benefit within the rules.

"No problem." Fuxi the Great Sage smiled faintly, "They're just trinkets; I can wave my hand and create tens of thousands… Feel free to pick and choose, find whatever you most desire."

"You can create tens of thousands with a wave of your hand?" Fengxi envied, the big shot's realm forever beyond his sight.

Suddenly, doubt rose in his heart, "If so, why don't the Ancestral Witches give us Wu Clan members a standard-issue one?"

"Honored Ancestral Witches, your power shakes heaven and earth; as top-tier Great Luos, you can bring forth and annihilate all things, create myriad…"

Fengxi said, triggering further thoughts, "Even ordinary cultivation resources could be produced in unlimited quantities for them, letting each soldier become strongest in the shortest time…"

"Pfft!" Fuxi snorted, his voice full of amusement, "What status do you little witches have? And what status do the Ancestral Witches have?"

"Let them serve as your basic labor force, supporting and raising you to become stronger?"

"Being able to give you a fair ladder to advance is already not bad… Do you still hope for gain without effort?"

Fengxi gave a dry laugh twice.

"Besides, if the Wu Clan dares to do this, the Demon Race can take similar actions." Fuxi sneered, "Believe me, after all this turmoil, when comparing numbers, the side that loses will definitely not be the Demon Race."

"This is the rule of this game…… The war between witches and demons is not merely to show off strength and contend for hegemony of heaven and earth." Fuxi said lightly, "The key lies behind this hegemony struggle, in what is revealed and manifested…"

"Whose model is more advanced? Who aligns better with the human torrent? Who can truly and practically lead the era?"

"This is what both sides must prove…… Prove it to whom? Prove it to the Great Luos of the entire Honghuang world!"

"Only those who perform excellently will gain more favor, letting the Great Luos add chips and place further bets."

"In the clash of these two schools of thought, cheating? It may bring temporary glory, but in fact it ruins the big picture."

"On this era's heavenly stage, you countless ordinary Wu Clan are not the main combat force, yet you bear a responsibility more important than the main force…… The success or failure of humanity is tied to you, not the Ancestral Witches!"

"After all, if you perform poorly and lose, humanity's protagonist status will be shaken…… But what does that have to do with the Ancestral Witches?"

"Peak powerhouses possess their own strength, with great power vested in one body—couldn't they just change appearance and switch jobs?"

Fengxi fell silent.

Those strong enough to prove the Dao and become Great Luo are no longer beings merely bound by bloodline.

To them, refreshing their own racial template—changing origin, flesh, and soul entirely—how difficult could that be?

Such a great realm has already broken free of the clan's shackles… What can make them identify with it can only be spirit, only thought!

Different Daos, no joint scheming!

—This saying has been portrayed to the fullest.

"Ancestral Witches, Great Witches—these Great Luo–level beings all have a retreat."

"Only you are the pawns crossing the river, unable to retreat… and you must burst forth in the war with the most splendid brilliance!"

"How much sacrifice is needed to forge an immortal monument?" Fuxi the Great Sage said meaningfully, "If you want the status of heaven and earth's protagonist, the struggle cannot tolerate the slightest opportunism…"

"You must use the most upright and righteous sharpness to crush every obstacle on the path ahead, making your enemies concede wholeheartedly, feel disheartened, and never again raise even a hint of resistance."

"Humanity is thus; the demon race is likewise."

"Therefore, some things the Ancestral Witches won't do openly, and the demon race's high echelons won't either."

"Of course." Fuxi suddenly smiled, shifting the topic, "Openly they won't do it, but secretly how they'll mess around… well, that's hard to say."

Fengxi blinked, then looked at those "golden fingers," and instantly understood.

"If everyone were honest and straightforward, how could Xihuang have fished up so many things here?" "From the front stage to behind the scenes, one by one, beings who accidentally crossed time… who could know which Great Luo's pawn they are?"

Fuxi sighed lightly, "Even though I am versed in heavenly secrets and divination, I am still in a fog."

"Huh?" Fengxi blinked, "Can't you tell?"

"Some things are so emblematic… the Great Dao contained within, for you to want to know which deity it relates to, that shouldn't be difficult, right?"

He alone picked out several dozen golden lotuses and hundreds of gleaming sarira, simply pondering their Dao resonance—a breath of stillness and purity flowed, seeming already self-evident.

"Innocent child… you don't know there's a word in this world called counterfeit?" Fuxi sighed deeply, "Other Great Luos ponder the Buddhist Sect's divine powers, use that principle to manufacture products, and simply slap the blame on the Buddhist Sect—wouldn't that settle it?"

"Great Luos have passed all Three Thousand Great Daos, mastering them in heart… Even if they specialize, what's the harm in crafting something to aid reaching the Supreme Ultimate Peak Realm?"

"Those who master this ability can even fake the real thing…… Aside from the Buddhist Sect's Jieyin and Zhunti, the original sources personally appraising, others can hardly tell true from fake." "But then, there would be no proof against it—if I went to those two for appraisal, believe me, they'd surely say this is someone else framing them!"

"Regardless of whether their pawns are truly inside, they'd never admit it!"

"Shouting 'catch the thief' while being the thief isn't impossible."

Fengxi indicated his eyes were opened wide.

At the same moment, some irreverent thoughts rose in his heart.

'"I feel…… the reason some divinities are vilified is probably not without cause, right?"'

However, as soon as that thought arose, Fengxi unconsciously snuffed it out, as if it had never existed.

Meanwhile, he also used his curiosity about those golden fingers to divert all his attention.

Immediately, Fengxi reached toward that pile of chaos-colored pearls and picked up one.

With a thought, he read the information contained within the pearl.

Hmm, as he expected.

This, is the renowned——

Chaos Pearl! In all transmigration legends, it's the most hardworking and also the most miserable laborer!

Hardworking and uncomplaining—according to legend, it has carried transmigrators into the Chaos Era, numbering not less than eight thousand, if not ten thousand.

Those who have used it all say it's good.

Its misery comes from the fact that, often, it must use its frail frame to gauge the edge of the Heaven‑Opening Divine Axe!

Fengxi focused his mind and spirit into this "Chaos Pearl," and an indescribable feeling welled up in his heart.

He seemed to see the extremely small and extremely large mixed together, he saw creation and destruction overlapping……the utmost profound, murky chaos, time and space here all fell into stagnation.

Perhaps, as long as there is an immensely huge force that bombards, shattering this state of chaos, allowing time and space to expand, letting creation and destruction separate, using creation to bind everything, and with earth, water, fire, wind evolving the myriad phenomena of the Myriad Heavens, a truly vast universe could be created! Reenacting Pangu opening heaven and earth! After a slight ponder, he set down the one in his hand, picked a new one, and played with it in his hand.

Although the sensations were slightly different, overall they were hardly different.

After examining several hundred in a row, they were all like this……inside lay endless potential lying dormant, waiting for a single strike to open up everything.

At the end, Fengxi even felt a bit numb, "Wholesale, clearance sale……the legendary Chaos Pearl actually contains a strand of chaos, a genuine prototype of a multiverse, waiting for latercomers to prove the Dao with force?"

"The prototype of a multiverse, that's naturally not false." Fuxi was unmoved, "But if we talk about proving the Dao……it depends on which Dao one is proving."

"Achieving a stronger Supreme Ultimate is not difficult. But as for the Great Luo……there is no hope."

"One multiverse, compared to the Great Luo, basically has no comparability; at most it's just a very strong Supreme Ultimate."

"Controlling a multiverse, isn't that strong enough?" Fengxi clicked his tongue.

"The cultivation of the Supreme Ultimate stage actually has no upper bound……why?" Fuxi laughed, "Because, the Great Luo represents infinity!"

"So, the Supreme Ultimate level can infinitely approach infinity, naturally thus having no limit."

"Not to mention mastering a multiverse, even if it were a thousand or ten thousand, crushing peers of the same level is no problem, but encountering a flawless Great Luo, one would still be pressed to the ground and beaten." Fuxi spoke with a smiling countenance, "Not to speak of borrowing infinite power, just a single authority overwhelms, reversing cause and effect……"

"You're proud of the number of universes you've created and control, right? No matter, in the next moment I will reset your origin, alter your life……your things will all become mine!"

Administrator, invincible!

Only a higher‑level administrator can defeat an administrator! "I don't really recommend you choose this Chaos Pearl……after all, to open up the universe within it and leap to become a multiverse‑level Supreme Ultimate, your own strength must at least step into the threshold of the Supreme Ultimate." Fuxi gave some advice, "And before that, you can only perceive the scattered secrets revealed by the chaos's evolution within this pearl."

"It helps your cultivation, but not much."

"Oh." Fengxi thought it over and felt that was indeed the case——things too advanced are really not friendly to his current Golden Immortal cultivation.

He readily put down the Chaos Pearl and fixed his gaze on those jade fragments.

These fragments also have a big name.

——Creation Jade Disc fragments!

However, it's a bit embarrassing that the fragments piled up here, if one tried to piece them together……

Not to mention a complete Creation Jade Disc, even a hundred of them could be pieced together! "The Creation Jade Disc records the Three Thousand Great Daos……although it's a counterfeit, the knowledge inside is also somewhat incomplete, but it's genuine." Fuxi explained, "This is something that can help you right now."

"However, the drawbacks……?"
