Chapter 524: Honghuang stirs! Military orders issued!

"Emperor Donghua" beat up the Dragon Ancestor mercilessly, inhumanely; those who heard felt heartbroken, those who saw shed tears.

Many demon gods of the Heavenly Court all shed a tear of sympathy for him... shedding tear after tear, some felt sorrow well up from their hearts and also felt sad for themselves.

There's no way; that big shot looks like he's going to support his sister, but they just can't overpower him, so maybe they can only surrender?

Surrender... how awful!

All these years of struggle, hasn't it all been for the benefit of the Wu Clan?

Truly——the market carries risk, investment requires caution!

However, those who worry are merely those lesser Grand Luo Supreme Emperors of weak strength.

Those strong ones remain very calm.

Those not calm, after being reminded, also become calm.

They are not in a hurry.

After all, the major shareholder of the Heavenly Court is Hongjun, this Dao Ancestor who won't easily give up, and whether one can escape blessings hinges entirely on this undertaking!

The emperor isn't in a hurry, so what's the eunuch rushing for?

Just wait!

They are waiting, waiting for Hongjun's move.

And the Dao Ancestor... he is also waiting.

Waiting for a great one's intervention, whose name is——"Honghuang"!

Moreover.

Soon, he got what he was waiting for!

"August Emperor."

The Dao Ancestor gazed at Xihuang, a smile appearing on his face, "It seems your ability to slaughter in all directions is coming to an end."

"Together, we shall all return to the right path."

"Although justice is late, it hasn't been absent…… He will pass judgment upon you!"

"Ha!" Xihuang shrugged indifferently, "Do you think I care?"

"One reason I took action was merely to give Cang Chang a lesson!"

"As for what happens next, it actually no longer matters."

"Furthermore..."

Xihuang lowered his eyelids, his thoughts illuminating the ages.

Who could know?

Amid the chaos caused by the Donghua Emperor, several rituals had already been carried out silently.

——White Emperor succession ceremony.

Hongyun has died; who will inherit this cultivation legacy of Yun?

Shao Hao has perished; who is the nominal young lord of the Eastern Yi?

In ordinary times, these would be stared at by a crowd, picking up magnifying glasses to examine up and down, carefully and meticulously, not lacking heavenly court demon gods and Wu Clan witch ancestors.

Among those eager to reach out, there is never a shortage of top-tier mighty beings.

But with "Emperor Donghua" this transcendent combat power thrown into the mix, many things will "reasonably" disappear.

Even if someone has doubts about this, in the end it will be chalked up to the cause of battle, accidentally causing some losses, becoming bad debt, and no longer will they frantically pursue it.

Even if someone harbors doubts about this, in the end it will be chalked up to the battle's cause, having inadvertently caused some losses, turning it into a bad debt, and they will no longer frantically pursue it.

In turbulent ages, many treasures have been lost, hard to investigate thoroughly, just like how the primordial merit of creating heaven came about…… standard procedure, stay calm, stay calm.

When pressed, a simple sentence is enough to deal with all pursuits——

When pressed, a simple sentence suffices to handle all the pursuit—

The loss of Hongyun's innate spiritual light, fought over and snatched away, in this process some important things were lost—no problem, right?

Shao Hao encountered mishaps, accidents cropping up, no chance to promulgate the most proper edict—no problem, right?

Nobody will think there's a problem.

When the gods are all captivated by this moment's most stylish, eye-catching handsome guy——Donghua, drawing all attention, already someone is pulling a fast one, heaven-sent windfall, receiving the ultimate gift package.

When the gods' attention was wholly captured by the most stylish, eye-catching handsome guy—Donghua, someone had already pulled a fast one, enjoyed a windfall, and received the final big gift package.

A supreme expert of the Grand Simplicity has fallen.

And another brand-new Grand Simplicity will rise, ushering in his glorious life!

"This is the last arrangement I can make……"

Being both Xihuang and the Green Emperor, he sighed deeply in his heart.

"Today, Emperor Donghua will die, and I too will be utterly stared down by humanity, making it hard to stir up any mischief……"

"It all depends on you, kid…… whether you're up to the task!"

"Don't disappoint my expectations……"

Xihuang pondered, quietly watching the wind and clouds surge in the Honghuang world, a great dread rising.

The stronger one is, the earlier they can sense anomalies.

August Emperor, Hongjun, then Nüwa, followed by one after another of Grand Simplicity Grand Luo, top-tier mighty beings, great divine ability experts……

Many ancient gods and great sages raised their heads in shock, their expressions varied.

Shock, surprise, alarm…… and so on, not exhaustive.

"Haha..." the Dragon Ancestor struggled, coughing blood, laughing hoarsely, "Heaven has eyes, human hearts are just…… your retribution has come!"

"Hmph." "Emperor Donghua" smirked, its meaning obscure, yet it made people feel that his usual nonchalance now had an extra third of seriousness.

"Heh." The East Splendor Emperor snickered, his expression unfathomable, yet it made one sense that his earlier nonchalance had gained three parts of seriousness.

Heaven, still that Heaven.

Earth, still that Earth.

Honghuang, at first glance, still that Honghuang.

But the truth deep down, starting now, is completely different!

Because, a god…… is reviving!

That is a greatness beyond all language can describe, a supreme aura covering every corner of heaven and earth, resonating with boundless Human Dao beings.

He is great, yet comes from every humble being; so contradictory, yet perfectly united.

Mysteriously, a soft light flows through every inch of spacetime between the cosmos and the primordial, illuminating ages, holy and divine, each moment constantly opening the void, giving birth to the Myriad Heavens, evolving boundless realms, cycling birth and death, layer upon layer, dreamlike and illusory.

Honghuang is the Dao, and the Dao gives birth to the endless.

When the Supreme Ancient God revives, heaven and earth reveal the most terrifying truth, condensing the most fearsome power…… mountains and rivers, azure heavens and stars, void seas, every inch of space, every speck of dust and stone, or a flower, a grass, a tree, all shift in a daze.

They are ordinary, yet not ordinary; they are mundane things, yet also the Dao, and Heaven!

From the self-evolving universe, one body two aspects, creation endless, together they forge an extraordinary and dreamlike ultimate heaven and earth.

And beings are likewise, even more mysterious.

Every life, each of their thoughts rises; even if just flashing through the briefest moment, it is merely an offhand estimate of one's own life, a future imagined but never truly stepped into, or an occasional recollection of the past, lamenting the passage of time, unable to return……

Or perhaps, it is an absurd and strange dream, fantasizing about how to overturn the world, contrary to the normal rules of Honghuang heaven and earth, like burning water, flowing fire, light is evil, darkness is justice……

At this very moment, these thoughts are all realized by the unseen mighty power, created into being!

For a single thought, to open a timeline, shaping the world from nothing, fulfilling the beings' dreamland.

How many thoughts do beings have? Impossible to count.

How many beings does Honghuang have? Too many, too many.

Such an unfathomable number, all of it was created out of nothing by the supreme god in the unseen!

Parallel spacetimes, infinite worlds, bursting forth the light of Human Dao!

Such power, such a level, surpasses imagination, can do anything……

This, is the power named Pangu!

From nothing to everything, creating all, infinite possibilities…… only then is——Honghuang!

Compared to Him.

Nüwa's cycle of creation.

Hongjun's turning of the Heavenly Dao.

Dragon Ancestor's unification of the Supreme Dao.

……

All so fragile and tiny!

Honghuang, gathering the wisdom of three thousand innate holy beings, with the aid of endless ages, accompanying a Pangu practitioner—August Emperor growing together, finally self-proving eternal, undying and indestructible!

This is a kind of greatest miracle!

And it was once, August Emperor took pride in——he cultivated a Pangu!

But what?

This once his pride, gave him a vicious stab, the betrayal an old heartache.

And.

Not only past heartache.

Even until today, it's still giving him heartache!

The little notebook records August Emperor's name; the dishonest always have his share.

Anyone who dares to use overpowered, rule-breaking power, causing loss to Honghuang, including but not limited to beating the workers of Honghuang Company, will all be furious and fight to the death!

Thus……

When heaven and earth awaken, when Human Dao pays attention, feeling the power of the East Heaven Emperor's rival, as conspicuous as a firefly in the night……

Honghuang raged!

Hum—

Time boils, the Myriad Heavens dance together, Human Dao roars, in an instant, the immense power of eternity and spacetime joins in the assault, sweeping in!

Honghuang advances!

At the same time, the supreme, yet hazy, instinctual will surges in the heart of every Honghuang Great Luo God, making them change expression and be moved.

Military order!

Human Dao revives, demanding they go forth and launch a punitive expedition!

Great Luo is noble, beyond doubt.

But likewise, as long as they have not yet proven the Dao of Pangu, or have not formally applied to withdraw from Honghuang household registration, they must accept the jurisdiction of Honghuang Human Dao, enjoying some rights while bearing corresponding duties——

Fight for Honghuang!

Even if the opponent is Pangu…… we must still swing our blades at him!

Battle!

Battle!

Battle!

In the vast expanse of spacetime, echoing this will, it is the voice of Human Dao, inspiring every being.

Can I be a deserter?

An ancient god's face turned pale: 'Fighting Pangu, we going up is just death, pure cannon fodder!'

"Don't even think……Is being a deserter that easy?" another ancient god spoke in a faint voice, "The big shot running away is called a strategic retreat."

If we desert, we'll be executed on the spot as a warning to others.

'Honghuang' is petty, bears grudges, remembers the bad but not the good.

Look at August Emperor's contributions—just because in the end he failed to satisfy humanity's wishes, he turned against us today, and all his achievements were nullified.

Human nature—it's just so fickle.

Doing good, doing it all your life, is taken for granted.

In old age, if you ever make a mistake, people will point and say, 'So that's what you really are; you pretended so well before.'

Being a bad person—even if you've been bad your whole life, as long as you do some good before death and show remorse, you'll be mostly whitewashed instantly.

Humanity is gathered from people's hearts, then averaged, and thus moral integrity is roughly determined.

You should know what the current climate is like... So, want to take a gamble?

That ancient god asked.

I bet you'll, for defying humanity's military order, then enjoy treatment similar to that of Rahu the Demon Ancestor?

Forget it. The previous Daluo shook his head, "I really don't dare to gamble."

But I'm also scared...

'Honghuang' bears grudges... Does August Emperor Majesty not bear grudges?

I think we need to come up with a plan.

Then there's only... Another ancient god sighed, then wiped his face, "Become a faceless person."

Will it work?

It works... Rest assured, we Daluo with weak strength, August Emperor Majesty wouldn't mind too much. The responder's abacus clacked, "Those 'brave' fighters of Taiyi are the ones he should look at differently!"

That's right!

When a great wisdom that follows the heart starts to act, it quickly infects everyone.

At this moment, everyone wiped away their true appearance, then reluctantly responded to humanity's call, sluggishly following orders, and stepped onto the battlefield.

And at this moment, the peak collision has already erupted!

Clang!

This time, the Eastern Heavenly Emperor didn't fight bare-handed; he drew his long sword but used axe techniques, facing Honghuang's mighty wave, he gave a powerful chop!

Boom!

Brilliant sword light flashed, illuminating this era, and spreading toward the past, racing toward the future.

Crack!

The epoch was cut off!

Supreme forbidden arts, world-shaking carnage.

The so-called Pangu is to toy with the era, play with heaven and earth, one epoch makes one ancient, writing his own Dao.

This is creation.

Likewise, since we can create, destruction naturally follows!

One sword, severing myriad ages, making time vanish, causing the Myriad Heavens to cease, striking the opponent into oblivion, forever sinking!

Under this sword, heaven and earth tremble greatly, showing a faint, illusory sign, as if wounded.

But the next moment, Honghuang counterattacked!

It does not relent, immeasurable timelines split, endless universes are created... another wave sweeps across, redefining concepts, creating at will!

Under such mighty power, myriad changes unfold.

Dao manifestations arise together—creation, ending, transformation, destruction... all the Great Daos appear, performed in full detail.

Finally, myriad Dao manifestations condense into one, becoming eternal light, becoming supreme light, carrying a belief, roaring, expelling.

Get out!

The will in the dark surged, rejecting August Emperor behind the Eastern Heavenly Emperor, driving him out from Honghuang.

Boom!

Blinding light, Honghuang is already burning the origin of heaven and earth, just as a Daluo sacrifices himself... Even if he can recover later, the loss now is real.

However, it is precisely this sacrifice, this effort, that finally has effect.

Amid the blazing Dao light, the Eastern Heavenly Emperor's long sword was shaken high aloft, unable to deliver another shocking strike.

At the same time, the Eastern Heavenly Emperor's body shuddered, he staggered back a step, and an invisible power channel that no Daluo could see was forced to manifest.

Through the channel, the gods could see a supreme deity sitting cross-legged in a void, holding a fishing rod, leisurely fishing for something.

When the change occurred, he also turned his gaze over, murmuring with a sighing tone, echoing in every living being's ears.

He's really straining to create...

Ah...

Really, selling one's offspring to buy the father's land without feeling remorse...

The faint words echoed throughout Honghuang.

Heaven and earth first fell silent, then became even more violently turbulent.

Rumble!

The ocean of the Great Dao boiled and surged, the vast power pierced the void to go for the ultimate showdown!

Come then!

August Emperor, sitting cross-legged in the void, smiled, 'Will I fear you?'

If it weren't for worry, smashing all those jars... would it be just you?
