Chapter 505: with translation of chapter title

The primordial wilderness is dangerous!

Translate: "Honghuang is dangerous!" Keep exclamation. Use glossary: Honghuang. So "【1】 Honghuang is dangerous!" But we need to output "【1】 Honghuang is dangerous!" Actually we need to output "【1】 Honghuang is dangerous!" with the bracket and number. Keep exclamation.

Human hearts are treacherous!

"People's hearts are treacherous!" Or "Human hearts are sinister!" I'll translate: "People's hearts are treacherous!" Keep exclamation.

Mr. Bai is partly concerned about the unhealthy trends among today's top experts, especially that brother‑sister pair; they might be adept at espionage and underhanded tactics, more skilled than anyone.

Mr. Bai, on one hand, worries about the unhealthy trends among today's top experts, especially that brother‑sister pair; they might be adept at playing spy and underhanded tactics, more skilled than anyone.

Check punctuation: keep as one line.

On the other hand, he feels deep melancholy, sighing over his predicament—like an ordinary person caught in a clash of gods, where even a ripple could leave him dead.

Translate: "On the other hand, he feels melancholy deep inside, sighing over his situation—just like an ordinary person swept into a battle of immortals; a single ripple could wipe him out!" Let's craft: "【4】 On the other hand, he feels melancholy deep inside, sighing over his situation—just like an ordinary person swept into a battle of immortals; a single ripple could wipe him out!"

His heart is full of bitterness; Bai Ze wants to cry but can't shed a tear.

"His heart is filled with countless bitterness; Báizé wants to cry but has no tears." So: "【5】 His heart is filled with countless bitterness; Báizé wants to cry but has no tears."

Originally, Fuxi and Nüwa were engaged in a high‑level intelligence duel; Bai Ze, as a historian, was essentially irrelevant.

"Originally, between Fuxi and Nüwa, this brother‑sister pair was engaged in a high‑level intelligence contest; as a Historian, a recorder of history, Báizé was actually quite indifferent." Let's translate: "【6】 Originally, between Fuxi and Nüwa, this brother‑sister pair was engaged in a high‑level intelligence contest; as a Historian, a recorder of history, Báizé was actually quite indifferent."

——Go ahead and fight! ——Give it your all!

——Go ahead and fight! ——Fight with all your might!

——Even if you overturn heaven and earth, what does it matter? ——I'll just watch the spectacle and help record it——With such wholehearted performances, there will be endless climaxes and twists, the story will thrive……Do I still need to worry about sales for my chronicle?

Translate: "【8】 ——Even if you overturn this heaven and earth, what of it? ——I'll just watch the show, and incidentally record it for you——With such a wholehearted performance from you, there will be all kinds of climaxes, all kinds of twists, the story's appeal will soar……Would my history book still need to worry about sales?" Need to keep ellipsis as "……". We'll keep three dots? Use "……". We'll output as is.

——No need!

"——Not needed!" So: "【9】 ——Not needed!"

——It'll definitely be a bestseller! ——The masses will rush to grab it! This is the mindset of a typical observer, or even a gossip‑loving historian.

"——It'll definitely sell well! ——The masses will scramble for it! Above all, this is the standard mindset of a mere observer, even a gossip‑watcher, as a Historian." Let's translate: "【10】 ——It'll definitely sell well! ——The masses will scramble for it! Above all, this is the standard mindset of a mere observer, even a gossip‑watcher, as a Historian."

You do your fighting, I'll do my writing.

"You fight yours, I write mine." So: "【11】 You fight yours, I write mine."

However you fight, I'll write accordingly.

However you fight, I'll write accordingly.

There's tons of material!

There's tons of material!

Nothing is more transcendent—provided one isn't harmonized.

Nothing is more transcendent—as long as one isn't harmonized.

But for now……

"But now……" So: "【15】 But now……"

He's become a character in the drama—this changes everything.

"He has become a participant in the play! This situation is completely different now." So: "【16】 He has become a participant in the play! This situation is completely different now."

Bai Ze can no longer stay calm—being burned by others is not the same as being burned oneself! Now he suspects that an endless recursion of double‑agent spy tactics has already been set in motion against him.

"Báizé can no longer remain calm—burning in someone else's body versus burning in one's own—how could they be the same?! Now he suspects that an infinite nesting of double‑agent tactics has already been enacted upon him—" Let's translate: "【17】 Báizé can no longer remain calm—burning in someone else's body versus burning in one's own—how could they be the same?! Now he suspects that an infinite nesting of double‑agent tactics has already been enacted upon him—"

Fuxi learns Nüwa wants to infiltrate him, so he launches a counter‑espionage move, using Bai Ze as a pawn to feed back information that's true but flawed—a plot that could ruin people without consequence.

"Fuxi learned that Nüwa wanted to infiltrate him, so he employed a counter‑espionage ploy, using Báizé as a pawn, sending him back as a reverse mole to deliver genuine yet leaky information, killing people without compensation." Let's translate: "【18】 Fuxi learned that Nüwa wanted to infiltrate him, so he employed a counter‑espionage ploy, using Báizé as a pawn, sending him back as a reverse mole to deliver genuine yet leaky information, killing people without compensation."

Nüwa, aware that Fuxi could see her infiltration plan, doubles down, again using Bai Ze as a pawn: she gains leaky but genuine intel from his side while feigning innocence as a sweet white lotus to lock Fuxi into a predictable mindset, so when they finally clash she can catch him off‑guard and claim victory.

"Nüwa knew that Fuxi could know she wanted to infiltrate him, so she turned the tables, again using Báizé as a pawn: on one hand she obtained additional information from Xihuang's side that was leaky yet still truthful; on the other she posed as a harmless, sweet‑simple innocent and pure lotus, causing Xihuang to form a fixed mindset, so that at the final clash she could catch Fuxi off guard and seize the victory." Let's translate: "【19】 Nüwa knew that Fuxi could know she wanted to infiltrate him, so she turned the tables, again using Báizé as a pawn: on one hand she obtained additional information from Xihuang's side that was leaky yet still truthful; on the other she posed as a harmless, sweet‑simple innocent and pure lotus, causing Xihuang to form a fixed mindset, so that at the final clash she could catch Fuxi off guard and seize the victory."

Then the question comes—can Fuxi still realize that Nüwa knows he knows she wants to infiltrate him, and thus go along with it… and so on.

"Then the question arises—could Fuxi still know that Nüwa knows he knows she wants to infiltrate him, and thus go with the flow… and so on and so forth." Let's translate: "【20】 Then the question arises—could Fuxi still know that Nüwa knows he knows she wants to infiltrate him, and thus go with the flow… and so on and so forth."

Endless twists!

"Infinite reversals!" So: "【21】 Infinite reversals!"

Endless recursion!

"Infinite nesting!" So: "【22】 Infinite nesting!"

This can be summed up in a single word——

"This can be described with just one word——" So: "【23】 This can be described with just one word——"

Absurd!

"Outrageous!" So: "【24】 Outrageous!"

It's utterly absurd! Bai Ze merely imagines that scene and instantly feels completely intoxicated.

"Damn outrageous! Báizé merely imagines that scene and instantly feels utterly drunk." Let's translate: "【25】 Damn outrageous! Báizé merely imagines that scene and instantly feels utterly drunk."

Such a scene can only be called——the Twilight of the Gods!

"Such a scene can truly only be described as——Twilight of the Gods!" Let's translate: "【26】 Such a scene can truly only be described as——Twilight of the Gods!"

And this is certainly not his baseless worry or idle fantasy—it has a real foundation and feasible conditions.

"And this is absolutely not his groundless worries or random musings…… it has an actual basis and meets the conditions for execution!" Let's translate: "【27】 And this is absolutely not his groundless worries or random musings…… it has an actual basis and meets the conditions for execution!"

After all, who isn't a Great Luo? A Great Luo commands boundless spacetime, eternal autonomy, can reverse causality, and scramble timelines.

"After all, who isn't a Great Net? Great Net beings possess eternal, unbounded spacetime, can reverse causality, and can scramble chronology." Let's translate: "【28】 After all, who isn't a Great Net? Great Net beings possess eternal, unbounded spacetime, can reverse causality, and can scramble chronology."

Not only can the past shape the present, but the future can as well! When future outcomes displease a Great Luo, he acts from the past—i. e., the present—setting up moves… the most effective tactic is to 'use the opponent's plan against them'.

"Not only can the past determine the present, the future can too! The results that will happen in the future, if they displease a Great Net, lead it to decide to act from the past—i. e., the present—placing pieces and laying out plans……The most useful method in this is 'turning the tables'." Let's translate: "【29】 Not only can the past determine the present, the future can too! The results that will happen in the future, if they displease a Great Net, lead it to decide to act from the past—i. e., the present—placing pieces and laying out plans……The most useful method in this is 'turning the tables'."

But saying it is simple makes it seem as if any Great Luo could alter the past—yet this assumes there is only one Great Luo.

"But saying it is simple makes it seem as if any Great Net could change the past…… yet the premise is that there is only one Great Net." Let's translate: "【30】 But saying it is simple makes it seem as if any Great Net could change the past…… yet the premise is that there is only one Great Net."

When their numbers grow, they start to check each other.

"When numbers increase, everyone mutually checks each other." So: "【31】 When numbers increase, everyone mutually checks each other."

The mightier a Great Luo, the greater their dominance. If they ultimately win, their fist at the climax will inevitably be the largest.

"The stronger the Great Net, the more it dominates the situation. If they can secure final victory, their fist at the decisive moment will inevitably be the greatest." Let's translate: "【32】 The stronger the Great Net, the more it dominates the situation. If they can secure final victory, their fist at the decisive moment will inevitably be the greatest."

Is a big fist impressive? A big fist is impressive! Freely rewriting the past to get the desired outcome usually demands not only sharp wit but also formidable strength.

"Is a big fist impressive? A big fist is impressive! Arbitrarily altering the past to ensure desired outcomes usually reflects not only superior scheming and wisdom, but also formidable martial power." Let's translate: "【33】 Is a big fist impressive? A big fist is impressive! Arbitrarily altering the past to ensure desired outcomes usually reflects not only superior scheming and wisdom, but also formidable martial power."

Conversely, excelling in martial prowess doesn't mean lacking wit—they're all highly intelligent; they may not be master strategists, but they could shine in invention and creation.

"Conversely, being able to go further in martial prowess actually means their scheming and wisdom are not lacking either—they are all great intelligences; they may not excel at plotting strategies, but perhaps they shine in invention and creation." Let's translate: "【34】 Conversely, being able to go further in martial prowess actually means their scheming and wisdom are not lacking either—they are all great intelligences; they may not excel at plotting strategies, but perhaps they shine in invention and creation."

Omniscience equals omnipotence——this is a very apt description.

"Omniscience is omnipotence——that is a most fitting description." So: "【35】 Omniscience is omnipotence——that is a most fitting description."

Cultivation also depends on the mind……times have advanced; the age when raw physical talent alone could conquer the world is long gone.

"Cultivation, too, is about using the brain…… as time advances, the era when one could conquer the world relying solely on physical talent has long passed." Let's translate: "【36】 Cultivation, too, is about using the brain…… as time advances, the era when one could conquer the world relying solely on physical talent has long passed."

Sir!

"Sir!" or "Master!" In context likely an address: "Adult!" but likely "Sir!" We'll translate as "Sir!" So: "【37】 Sir!"

The times have changed!

"The times have changed!" So: "【38】 The times have changed!"

With only physical talent, you can only haul bricks and lift bars, do manual labor for cash……the impressive route is to enter sports competitions and win prize money.

"If you rely only on physical talent, you can only haul bricks and lift poles, do manual labor for money…… at best you might join some sports competitions to earn a little prize money." Let's translate: "【39】 If you rely only on physical talent, you can only haul bricks and lift poles, do manual labor for money…… at best you might join some sports competitions to earn a little prize money."

Even acting has no place for you; the leads need good looks, so you're relegated to stunt work, taking on the dirty and tough jobs.

"No one wants you for acting; the lead needs to be handsome, so you can only be a stunt double, and all the dirty, tough work falls to you." Let's translate: "【40】 No one wants you for acting; the lead needs to be handsome, so you can only be a stunt double, and all the dirty, tough work falls to you."

When you tally it up, what can compare to making a fortune with your brains?

"When you add it up, what can compare to getting rich by using your brains?" So: "【41】 When you add it up, what can compare to getting rich by using your brains?"

Jieyin is the prime example……one grand ambition—lending and taking a cut—easily rakes in countless wealth; in the sect's Dao lineage, it ranks just below the Three Pure Ones who received the 'Primordial Creation Merit'.

"Jieyin is the prime example…… with a grand vision—lending and taking a cut, he easily rakes in countless riches; in the sect's lineage, he is second only to having obtained the merit of opening heaven, the Three Pure Ones Dao sect." Let's translate: "【42】 Jieyin is the prime example…… with a grand vision—lending and taking a cut, he easily rakes in countless riches; in the sect's lineage, he is second only to having obtained the merit of opening heaven, the Three Pure Ones Dao sect."

The Buddhist Eight Treasures Merit Pond—how much merit flows there……how many years would a brick‑mover have to toil to equal one day's interest from that wealth? How can earning money by one's own body compare to cleverly borrowing the riches of countless, even billions of beings, to turn a chicken into an egg?

"The Buddhist Eight Treasures merit pool—how much merit flows within it…… how many years would a brick‑carrier have to haul to match one day's interest from that pool? Relying on one's own body to earn money, how could that compare to cleverly borrowing the wealth of countless, even billions of sentient beings to hatch profit from borrowed chickens?" Let's translate: "【43】 The Buddhist Eight Treasures merit pool—how much merit flows within it…… how many years would a brick‑carrier have to haul to match one day's interest from that pool? Relying on one's own body to earn money, how could that compare to cleverly borrowing the wealth of countless, even billions of sentient beings to hatch profit from borrowed chickens?"

These days, any Great Luo with any ambition starts to shift, seriously considering how to make a living with their brains.

"These days, any Great Net with any ambition begins to transform, seriously pondering how to make a living by using their brains." Let's translate: "【44】 These days, any Great Net with any ambition begins to transform, seriously pondering how to make a living by using their brains."

All goals aim only to become the strongest! And the strongest is none other than Pangu! Once you become Pangu, there is no greater Great Luo above, no one can overpower you by force, so you naturally gain the right to retract your moves.

"All goals aim only to become the strongest! And the strongest is none other than—Pangu! Once one becomes Pangu, there is no greater Great Net above, no possibility of being overpowered by force, and thus naturally comes the qualification to retract a move." Let's translate: "【45】 All goals aim only to become the strongest! And the strongest is none other than—Pangu! Once one becomes Pangu, there is no greater Great Net above, no possibility of being overpowered by force, and thus naturally comes the qualification to retract a move."

Even if, because of the many constraints from past moves, it's hard to simply overturn the board.

"Even if, due to the many mutual checks in the past moves, it's hard to simply overturn the board." Let's translate: "【46】 Even if, due to the many mutual checks in the past moves, it's hard to simply overturn the board."

But, knowing what comes next……are you still afraid you can't 'use the opponent's plan against them'? This is the easiest thing to do.

"But, knowing the forthcoming developments…… who would fear being unable to turn the tables? This is the easiest thing to do." Let's translate: "【47】 But, knowing the forthcoming developments…… who would fear being unable to turn the tables? This is the easiest thing to do."

However, this creates a paradox—wanting to become Pangu means you must be the ultimate victor; all along, whether by wit or force, you've defeated every opponent.

"However, this becomes a paradox—wanting to become Pangu requires being the ultimate victor; all along, whether by wisdom or by force, one must have defeated every opponent." Let's translate: "【48】 However, this becomes a paradox—wanting to become Pangu requires being the ultimate victor; all along, whether by wisdom or by force, one must have defeated every opponent."

When you truly reach that point, you wouldn't deliberately retract your moves—because the setbacks and hardships you've endured are the nutrients of your growth; instead, you should thank your opponents for their contribution.

"When one truly reaches that point, they actually wouldn't deliberately retract a move…… because the setbacks and hardships they endured are the nutrients of their growth; instead, they ought to thank their opponents for their contributions." Let's translate: "【49】 When one truly reaches that point, they actually wouldn't deliberately retract a move…… because the setbacks and hardships they endured are the nutrients of their growth; instead, they ought to thank their opponents for their contributions."

When one's achievements reach sufficient height, the attitude toward problems shifts.

"When one's achievements reach sufficient height, their attitude toward problems changes accordingly." Let's translate: "【50】 When one's achievements reach sufficient height, their attitude toward problems changes accordingly."

——Anyway, I laughed to the end! Winning, I can naturally feign gratitude toward opponents, put on a fake face, speak as the victor, showing how magnanimous I am, what a 'grand vision' I have.

"——Anyway, I ended up laughing last! Winning, I can naturally feign gratitude toward the opponent, put on a hypocritical face, speak as the victor, showing how magnanimous I am, what a 'grand pattern' I possess." Let's translate: "【51】 ——Anyway, I ended up laughing last! Winning, I can naturally feign gratitude toward the opponent, put on a hypocritical face, speak as the victor, showing how magnanimous I am, what a 'grand pattern' I possess."

Lost?

"Lost?" So: "【52】 Lost?"

——Heaven is unjust! The Way is blind! How could it be that *you* forced the win? ——I've endured endless hardships, taken countless blows, shed the most blood and sweat, yet in the end I have nothing, utterly defeated——I want to retract my moves! I want to overturn the board!

"——Heaven is unjust! The Heavenly Dao is blind! How could it be that the one who forced victory wins? ——I've endured endless hardships, taken the worst beatings, shed the most blood and sweat, yet in the end I have nothing, a total defeat——I want to retract my move! I want to overturn the board!" Let's translate: "【53】 ——Heaven is unjust! The Heavenly Dao is blind! How could it be that the one who forced victory wins? ——I've endured endless hardships, taken the worst beatings, shed the most blood and sweat, yet in the end I have nothing, a total defeat——I want to retract my move! I want to overturn the board!"

This is very real.

"This is very real." So: "【54】 This is very real."

Don't believe it?

"Don't believe it?" So: "【55】 Don't believe it?"

Simply……take those so‑called successful people, wipe out all their assets, reduce them to nothing, see how many can stay content in poverty, then talk about not caring for money? Then start from zero, rebuild, re‑earn a fortune, truly write the myth, tell the world: I created the era, not the era created me! Able to pick up and put down, after letting go you can pick up again easily, give or take as you wish……Only when you reach this level are you qualified to speak of breadth of mind, demeanor, and stature.

"Simple…… just take those so‑called successful people, zero out all their assets, reduce them to nothing, see how many can stay content in poverty and virtue, then talk about not caring for money? Then start from zero, begin anew, re‑earn a fortune, truly write a myth, tell the world that I created the era, not the era that shaped me! Able to pick up and put down, after letting go to pick up again easily, to discard and gain at will…… Only when one reaches this level is one qualified to speak of breadth of mind, demeanor, and stature." Let's translate: "【56】 Simple…… just take those so‑called successful people, zero out all their assets, reduce them to nothing, see how many can stay content in poverty and virtue, then talk about not caring for money? Then start from zero, begin anew, re‑earn a fortune, truly write a myth, tell the world that I created the era, not the era that shaped me! Able to pick up and put down, after letting go to pick up again easily, to discard and gain at will…… Only when one reaches this level is one qualified to speak of breadth of mind, demeanor, and stature."

Can't do it? Then they're just pretending.

"Can't do it? Then it's all just pretense." So: "【57】 Can't do it? Then it's all just pretense."

Many people pretend, and quite a few……otherwise, there wouldn't be so many who, after losing everything in ruin, go to the rooftop, jump down, end their lives, lose the courage to live, unable to accept the cruel reality.

"Many pretend, and quite a few…… otherwise there wouldn't be so many who, after losing everything and ruining their families, climb onto the rooftop, leap down, end their lives, lose the courage to live, unable to accept the cruel reality." Let's translate: "【58】 Many pretend, and quite a few…… otherwise there wouldn't be so many who, after losing everything and ruining their families, climb onto the rooftop, leap down, end their lives, lose the courage to live, unable to accept the cruel reality."

A normal Pangu is always a big winner.

"Normal Pangu beings are all big winners." So: "【59】 Normal Pangu beings are all big winners."

Moreover, they have walked all the way, endured various wind and rain, struggled forward in the peak competition, the Great Dao vied, and only then did they reach the summit.

One verification, eternal verification; one accomplishment, eternal accomplishment — thus matching their achievements.

Wisdom, martial prowess, mindset — all were unquestionably number one of that era.

Of course.

Since we're calling it 'normal,' then naturally there is — 'abnormal'!

Quite obvious.

Báizé thought about Nüwa…… This is a very obvious exception to common sense!

— She has a brother who's in the middle of courting death! Right.

In Báizé's eyes, Fuxi is just courting death.

He actually could be so bold as to scheme against Nüwa while still helping her achieve Pangu! This isn't courting death — what else could it be? Báizé pondered, the more he thought, the more startled, the more afraid.

"Old Fuxi…… you're playing with fire!"

"You want to help your sister achieve Pangu, and yet you still want to deal with her……" "Don't you know that once she achieves Pangu, she'll stand on the same level as you!"

"A typical victor, no matter what, still pays attention to decorum on the surface and won't take back a move……"

"Your sister versus you?"

"Let me think……"

"When it truly comes to the crucial moment of her rising in family status, being able to change the term "sister" to "older sister"…… not to mention taking back a move, she'd smash the game board, and I'd believe it!"

Báizé thought of Nüwa — she had been arranged and overworked throughout an entire era of the previous eon, how she submitted to her brother's tyranny, not daring to go west when told east, the resentment accumulated daily — how terrible it would be…… he involuntarily shuddered.

The more he pondered, the more Báizé felt that at this moment he was deep in a killing game, danger at every step.

Many pieces of information, in the periphery, corroborate his earlier flash of inspiration — that unbelievably true answer deduced — exactly who betrayed him, or who sold him to Fuxi.

It's her! It's her! It's her!

It's Nüwa who wants to take back a move!

And he — weak, pitiable, helpless Báizé — in this process was made a clown, with Fuxi and Nüwa as the two players, both using him as a pawn in their contest! Such a horrifying thing, placed in the most perilous vortex, poor and pitiful Báizé, previously completely unaware, thought he could reap a great benefit.

Little did he know, one misstep and his life would be forfeit!

Not the slightest exaggeration.

This — is the fate of a pawn.

Even if he were immensely wise and capable enough to navigate freely between the two Pangu's match, becoming a pawn that survives to the end and never gets captured.

But there is something called — displaced anger! In a zero‑sum game between a brother and sister, there is no win‑win outcome, only a winner.

Then the question arises.

The loser, in the post‑game review, watching Báizé's excellent overall performance, became the opponent's spearhead, achieving perfect strategic deception……

At that point, would he/she still remember Báizé's hard work when he/she had him/her do chores? Probably not.

After all, there needs to be a suitable vent.

Just get rid of him and it's done!

I can't handle my brother/sister, yet I can't handle you?

I'll make you an informer!

I'll make you a double‑agent! I'll make you waver in your stance! There are too many reasons.

As long as you want to take someone down, any far‑fetched excuse will do.

"My mindset's broken……"

Mr. Hou's eyes filled with hot tears, he deeply felt the hardship of divine birth, the death‑omen star hung high above his head, shining eternally.

Yet seeing Fengxi dazed again and again before him — this kid, why is he crying? 'Mmm……' Little Feng rubbed his chin, feeling good about himself, 'Could it not be that my own frank words have shaken his turbid soul, causing his poor worldview to suffer an unprecedented shock and upheaval?'

"Thus, eyes brimming with hot tears, he resolved to mend his ways?"

"Alas!"

"As expected."

"I am such a perfect person, able to easily give my close friend an epiphany, making him suddenly enlightened, find his way back……"

Fengxi was narcissistic, he patted Hougang's shoulder, his tone solemn and dignified: 'Old Hou, knowing your mistake is enough, I can rest easy.'

"Besides, a man doesn't shed tears lightly… don't cry… keep the light of the righteous path in your heart, afterwards be a rigorous and upright historian, and focus on describing my achievements."

Fengxi chirped a few words, successfully turning Hougang's gaze toward him; the hot tears vanished instantly, leaving him speechless.

"This guy…… so narcissistically vain, who did he learn it from?"

"Is it Fuxi? Or Nüwa?"

"Don't say, he's quite alike."

Muttering to himself, he looked at Fengxi, simultaneously feeling contempt and a hint of compassion.

Fellow wanderers of the world! 'Fengxi… this lad, perhaps he's in the same situation as me, drawn into the game between Fuxi and Nüwa.'

"Except, he's less fortunate than me…… or perhaps more fortunate?"

"He must be fortunate, right!"

"Because he still doesn't know what role he's playing, merely muddledly drawn into the game, unwittingly becoming a pawn."

"Sometimes, the more you know, the more worries you have…… and not knowing anything at all might not be unhappiness."

"Not like me?"

"After a series of maneuvers, he not only maneuvered himself onto the board, but also blocked all his own paths of retreat!"

Truly —

One bout of maneuvers, fierce as a tiger; one look at the record — zero wins, five losses!

"I don't want such a fate!"

Mr. Hou sighed in sorrow.

I want to strangle fate's throat!

Pinch it to death!

After the sorrowful cry, there was a blazing will to survive, which turned into fighting spirit.

He was going to make some backup preparations.

He realized that when the time came, the defeated Fuxi/Nüwa would use him as a bellows, and even calling to heaven and earth would bring no answer.

He shouted until his throat was raw, yet no one came to help him! But what should he do? Hougang fell into thought.

Suddenly, he looked toward Fengxi, gazing at this sovereign of the Fire Master, and another being came to mind, his eyes lighting up.

I'm such a blockhead... How could I not have thought of that one?

Green Emperor Fuxi is an old yin coin; Divine Farmer Nüwa is a little black belly... These two don't treat me as a person, just using me as cannon fodder...

Hah!

Nobles and generals, where does their kind come from?

In Pangu's struggle, only these two?

Fuxi schemes against me, Nüwa sells me, leaving my hope bleak.

Since it's come to this...

I will go find the Yellow Emperor!

This will be my retreat!

Assisting him, fighting heaven and earth, to become humanity's supreme sovereign, balancing Fuxi and Nüwa, so that these Pangu-era rulers govern in tranquility, not allowed to act recklessly, harming me, this great virtuous ancient god!
