Chapter 497: For the Dream——Historian Emperor!

"This Pangu script is uniquely conceived, yet also grand and proper……Impressive! Impressive!"

The girl praised Báizé more and more.

At this moment, she deeply felt——the three great black suns of the Phoenix faction back then were no empty reputation.

It wasn't simply by relying on scheming and trickery that they managed to snatch victory……They themselves were far-sighted and perceptive!

Each one has found their own unique path of Pangu, and is now walking it, already achieving stage‑by‑stage results.

In some respects, they are truly not inferior to the Phoenix in the slightest, and some are even better.

However, back then the Phoenix merely seized a temporary advantage, which is why her name was hung over the whole faction……but in the end it's hard to avoid the fate of a mascot.

Of course.

Being a mascot isn't bad either.

Knowing when to advance or retreat, understanding the big picture, capable of becoming a god—having once again sacrificed Fuxi, even the innate spiritual root, the paulownia tree born with him, they endured the pain and cut it down, making it into a Fuxi zither……Having come to this point of investment, how could the Great Sage Fuxi turn his back and refuse to acknowledge people?

We must repay, giving full support to the Phoenix so that in some future era they may achieve the Dao of Pangu.

Compared to now, Báizé still has to personally go door‑to‑door to solicit Nüwa's votes……One has to admit, gods differ from gods, and effortless victory truly exists.

The Phoenix has the wherewithal of a salted fish.

Nüwa actually has it too……It's just that she's unwilling.

——If she really had to rely on Fuxi's support to achieve Pangu, then in the future, at home, where would she find the courage to talk back, let alone overthrow and seize power, becoming the head of the household?!

She, Nüwa, would rather starve to death, die in poverty, or jump from the summit of Phoenix Perch Mountain to fall to her death—she would never bow her head to that wicked exploiter, Fuxi, who oppresses his sister!

This elder sister has made up her mind; even if Pangu himself came, it would be useless—Nüwa said so!

A sibling war is about to begin, swords flashing, the curtain already drawn in secret.

In response to this.

Many veteran ancient gods and great sages, while not saying it outright, maintain a proper appearance, but deep down they have already prepared drinks and seeds, happily awaiting the show.

Even if the ticket price for watching the show might be their very lives——

The conquest among those who have attained Pangu is just that terrifying.

……

"Ah……haha……"

Hearing the girl's praise, Mr. Bai gave an embarrassed yet polite dry laugh.

He felt a bit awkward about fully revealing the truth, so he simply let the misunderstanding continue for a while.

After all, this Pangu script……

If we really reckon it up, who was the one who pointed him out……Then think again: at this very moment, what Mr. Bai is doing is selling out which of his teammates……

This will inevitably make him feel that his integrity has dropped a little bit again!

Although he's wandered Honghuang for many years, and many old friends know exactly what kind of god Mr. Bai is……still, face and integrity must be upheld a bit!

"Fuxi……"

Mr. Bai muttered inwardly.

"Sorry……really sorry……"

"I really didn't mean to stab you in the back, I just really had no choice……"

"I appreciate your pointing me out, but……"

"After thinking it over, I ultimately discovered that only here with Nüwa can I most speed up my progress and eliminate many obstacles!"

"Only in this way."

"Only then can I quicken my pace and run into the ranks of those who have attained Pangu."

"Otherwise……"

"I'll just be left behind by many show‑girls."

"By then."

"As an upstanding Historian, I have to face the gaze of many who have attained Pangu, each sharpening their knives there gloomily—can I still dare to speak the truth and write the facts?!"

"If I speak the truth and write the facts, who knows—one day in some corner I might just vanish, being harmonized away."

"Maybe I should just write with a biased brush……I feel stifled alive……Switching to paid historiography would be about the same."

Mr. Bai feels very regretful, and he has good reason to feel that way.

Selling out teammates……Does he really like doing that?

Of course……not!

He really has no choice!

When among the primordial gods and sages, someone first achieves a major breakthrough and attains the Dao of Pangu……and this Pangu does not intend to suppress latercomers, has no plan to solidify hierarchies, is glad to elevate juniors, and stands on the same level with them.

This is a good thing, but it likewise intensifies the competition.

Thus, talents in Honghuang emerge together, everyone striving by every means to attain that lofty Pangu achievement.

But this achievement is too restrictive—only one can succeed in an entire era.

Change it to someone else, and it's actually nothing.

But for him, Mr. Bai, such an utterly upright Historian……the problem becomes huge!

Once more people attain Pangu, will he still be able to spout nonsense as truth?

One misstep, and someday while walking down the road he'll get shoved into a sack.

Don't laugh!

This really could happen!

Damn it.

There are too many show‑girls, not a single one easy to get along with.

Look at Nüwa, this kind of boss who controls life and death, manages you when alive and still manages you after death.

Also like Hongjun, this cold, heartless Heavenly Dao intelligence often shouts that the human world is too filthy, there are always some opportunists taking advantage of heaven and earth... Format! Format everything!

Dragon Ancestor, a domineering CEO, always wants to be the top boss over all deities, making the gods kowtow, boundlessly domineering, the phrase 'great unification' never leaves his mouth.

Also, Jieyin—this kind of sect that constantly thinks about lending and collecting rent, can you say he's a very benevolent good god?

……

Honghuang is so vast, there's so much fun.

He, Mr. Bai, really likes to record all this fun and share it with later generations.

Enjoying alone is not as good as enjoying together!

But!

When the protagonists of these fun events, one by one relying on their extremely flamboyant operations, get promoted to Pangu... then what black material does he still have to expose?

Just casually speaking a big truth, for example mentioning a censored character followed by the word 'bag', then suddenly one day, heavenly soldiers descend and detain him, leaving him bewildered.

In this situation, everyone would be dumbfounded.

Is Pangu amazing?

Pangu is truly amazing.

So he also wants to join Pangu's team.

Not only must he join, but he must join early enough, ahead of time, for it to work.

Only this way.

Only then, when spouting nonsense, will no one be unreasonable—if I want to withdraw, I can, but you have to pay!

For dreams, for hobbies.

Mr. Bai really gave it his all.

He didn't hesitate to sell his good friends for a good price—still friends who had given him advice.

As the saying goes——

Those who achieve great things do not fuss over minor details!

He wants to become the founder of a school, using fantasy to forge reality, overturning the illusory and real, bewildering dreams of past, present, and future.

Textual Pangu!

Editing the Myriad Heavens and all realms, reshaping past, present, and future, causing countless histories submerged in the River of Time to reappear... he then projects a special incarnation, wielding the pen to write everything... it seems he can almost become Pangu.

And among these, the primary operation is to master the ownership of the universally used script under heaven.

In this era, such universally used script is only of two kinds.

One kind is demon!

One kind is human!

Yes.

These are the two strongest factions.

They represent the most advanced productivity and strongest military force of the present era... therefore, among all races under heaven, any cultivator with ambition must learn one of these two languages and scripts!

When a faction is dominant, its language and script become widespread.

Accordingly, cultural output also gains a huge boost, which is very helpful for Mr. Bai's Pangu undertaking.

But……

Here there are many obstacles that cannot be bypassed, all the positions are taken.

For example, in the Demon Race, the one who masters the script is Kunpeng.

Kunpeng the Great Sage, his strength participates in creation, his cultivation follows the way of wind and water, roaming the cosmic primordial yellow, galloping across the vastness of Honghuang, exploring the realm of Taiyi, marvelously transforming the mysteries of being and non-being.

Therefore, he was granted the title of Demon Master by the Heavenly Court, and is the head of the Demon Race's education system.

The Demon Race's script and cultural education are inseparable from him.

His prestige is such that even the Daoist Heavenly Venerable who governs human transformation on behalf of the Heavenly Dao, and the Buddhist Patriarch, must show him three parts of respect and are checked by him.

As for Kunpeng, Báizé does not fear him.

But Kunpeng also does not fear Báizé.

Once business is discussed, if Kunpeng discerns it, the key to Mr. Bai's Pangu has a profound connection with the demon script he masters……

"Tsk."

"Friend, do you understand what it means to raise the price on the spot?"

——Mr. Kun leans back, adopts the posture of a big shot, smiles narrowly at Mr. Bai, taps the bamboo pole, waiting for a major bleed.

As for whether this scene will happen……

One who sells skins in games during festivals, and variously re-releases and dilutes scarcity, an ancient god……

Mr. Bai feels, this might not be an easy opponent!

Demon script, we should first set it aside and look at the human race side.

The human race, it's not too bad.

For now, there isn't a very clear overseer, or if there is, it's not very strong, far inferior to Mr. Bai.

But…… the human race has a Holy Mother.

Nüwa manages everything!

Compared to the Heavenly Court, which is like a joint-stock company, the human race is actually Nüwa's private property.

Without consulting Nüwa to settle things, truly determining ownership, doing anything is useless.

Thus.

Mr. Bai has arrived.

He wants to discuss a business with Nüwa.

Just right.

He can produce the most special chip, enough to prevent Nüwa from raising the price, and also establish a stable, good cooperative relationship, so neither will breach the contract.

Moreover…

Mr. Bai's vision is profound; he thought of the subtlety between the giant fish-bird and Nüwa. As long as he can connect with Nüwa's side, the giant fish-bird side will be easily handled, with fair trade, not forced into a sky-high deal.

After all, between Nüwa and the giant fish-bird, these two great beings, there is a relationship belonging to……the food chain!

There is a saying as proof——

In the Northern Darkness there is a fish, its name is giant fish. The giant fish is so huge that a pot cannot stew it. Transforming into a bird, its name is giant roc. The giant roc is so huge that it needs two grills, one secret recipe, one mildly spicy……

How did this saying come about?

Not worth mentioning to outsiders.

The giant fish-bird once had a very dark period in its fish history.

When going out, one must be careful to protect oneself.

One should not lightly fight others, especially when fighting results in injury and bleeding, causing parts to fall off.

Otherwise?

After the battle, wanting to pick them up again……is just difficult.

As for this secrecy, Mr. Bai understands it very clearly——otherwise, he would not live up to his reputation as a black-materials expert.

It is precisely because he thought of this that he would, after undergoing deep consideration, under feelings of extreme "pain" and extreme "helplessness", sell out his brothers and close friends.

At the moment he made this decision, sorrow and regret flooded Mr. Bai's spirit, making his heart feel the greatest blame, causing him to eat two extra bowls of rice before he could barely distract himself.

However, when he came to visit Nüwa, at the hall's door he hesitated a bit, paced left and right a couple times, then finally made up his mind to knock, feeding his conscience to the dog.

As for his friendship with Fuxi, he set it aside.

Now begins, it's time to discuss business with Nüwa!

Who let this lady be his most important partner going forward?

If handled properly.

The Human Race has secured the rights to its script, and the Demon Race has nearly secured the rights to its script as well.

At that time, no matter which side wins after the war.

He, Mr. Bai, is also one of those who laughs last as a winner!

What Heavenly Emperor, what Holy Emperor—these positions, he doesn't care at all.

What he wants to do is——

History Emperor!

"My demand is just this." Mr. Bai sighed lightly, "To the lady, the Human Race's script rights are just a relatively ordinary part of your industry."

"But for me, it is a very important cornerstone on the Pangu Road."

"I also won't hide it from you—I am determined to get it."

"For this, I am willing to show the utmost sincerity."

"Risking the aftermath of being settled by Fuxi this Pangu, helping Nüwa you go undercover beside him to strive for the most secret information……do you think this sincerity is enough?"

"Enough!" The girl nodded repeatedly, showing approval, "I am not the god of price‑gouging; in our dealings I pay great attention to fairness."

The girl decisively approved the deal, agreeing in one breath to this transaction with the client.

Of course, she also had a prior condition.

"As long as you obtain the Human Race's script rights, not participate in the witch‑demon conflict, help the Demon Race conduct cultural output into my Human Race, what harm would there be?"

The girl said it clearly.

"Certainly not." Mr. Bai promised, "I will make the distinction very clear."

"All good." The girl said satisfied, "Actually, when calculating risks and benefits, I still made a small profit."

"Although you can gain my support, the precondition is to fall out with Fuxi……in terms of connections, Fuxi is still stronger than me."

"Even if I someday attain the Dao of Pangu."

If you anger Fuxi, then when you eventually achieve the Dao and become Pangu, he will surely cause you trouble.

"That would only happen when I reach the gate of Pangu..." Mr. Bai smirked, "Without Nüwa's support, I couldn't even take the first step."

"This is something you came to seek on your own initiative." The girl laughed, "It's your own choice and effort."

In view of the fact that what you've done is quite to my liking, I can allow some benefit.

Do you need me to provide any after-sales service? For example, help you with some promotion in the area of human script?

Mr. Bai's eyes lit up.

He had been waiting for these words!

Since you came to visit, he already had a pretty good understanding of Nüwa's temperament.

Nüwa is actually a deity who values loyalty and righteousness!

Whoever treats her well, she treats well in return!

"Then there's no need for that..." Mr. Bai smiled, "Among humans, I follow the commands of the royal court."

But outside...

I would like to ask the Lady to act as an intermediary.

Have a good talk with the Great Saint Kun Peng...

Ask him.

Someone is very interested in the affiliation of his demon script.

Could we use a fairer price to conduct a transaction for this?

"Anyway..."

"I think the Giant Fish-Bird Great Saint seems not too concerned about the Demon Master position; instead, he is more enthusiastic about communicating and collaborating with the Southern Florescence True Person to build a virtual world."

"If I'm not mistaken, he probably intends to use this to prove the Dao as Pangu."

"Since that's the case."

"Then... as for the demon text aspect, could there be a new patron?"

"I'm quite interested."

"Mr. Bai put forward his own request."

"He wants to ask Nüwa to act as an intermediary!"
