Chapter 540: Spiritual Victory, Heavenly Emperor Thwarts Nüwa Emperor

Heaven and earth were turned upside down, and the world faded into illusion.

On that day, the living beings dwelling on Feather Mountain were 'honored' to experience what is called the great terror of life and death.

Nüwa, you old tyrant.

With a single hand covering the sky, her aura boundless, she went from a former construction engineer to a demolition squad leader in an instant, slapping a forced-demolition seal on Feather Mountain without hesitation, turning her hand into an excavator that dug up the entire mountain range!

Her purpose is actually quite simple—

Feng family members, enter the Feng family grave!

She felt deep remorse over Donghua's death, blaming herself for having miserably buried her own brother.

Although she usually eagerly wanted to change the family's status and take charge, she definitely would not seek advantage this way.

It's a pity that things have already happened; Nüwa is powerless to undo them.

At this moment, she can only do her best to relocate the burial site, moving it to Phoenix Perch Mountain, where she occasionally pays respects and trims the grave grass.

Rather than let it lie abandoned outside, suffering great humiliation on some year, month, and day.

No way.

As a senior member of the Primordial Divine faction—the stronger and older one is, the more senior—apart from Fuxi and Hongjun, no one surpasses her in seniority; she could even call herself 'old lady' without issue.

Of course, Nüwa considers herself eternally youthful; anyone who dares mention her age must be tired of life, seeking a shortcut straight to death's end.

As the eldest divine leader, Nüwa knows all too well how many oddballs and show-offs exist in this faction, those who don't do proper work, likely numbering in the hundreds.

Even if Donghua's body lies elsewhere, Nüwa worries he won't rest in death, possibly even feigning death from anger and coming back to life.

This is no empty talk.

Because someone has already demonstrated it in person.

Keywords—Hongjun, suona, grave-head breakdancing.

Donghua, or rather the August Emperor behind Donghua, has come all this way with sparks and lightning—truly impressive.

But behind the scenes, how many people would secretly draw circles on the ground?

This really is a problem!

Nüwa, with eyes closed, can think of several such figures who will surely come to Feather Mountain later to show off.

Digging up graves and whipping corpses isn't necessary; the tiger's might lingers after death, let alone Xihuang still being alive.

But a certain unnamed Dragon Ancestor, one day his trumpet suddenly suffered a mental illness, his brain went haywire for no reason, he covered his face and ran to this grave site to sing and dance, performing a piece of performance art, then took photos as a memento… this is totally possible!

Although, Nüwa also really wants to do that!

After being oppressed for an entire era, shouldn't she be allowed to raise her brows and breathe freely once?

Judging others by oneself, since she realizes she shares Hongjun's impulse to dance on graves, Nüwa worries even more about Donghua lying abandoned outside.

After all, the Dragon Ancestor was truly pitifully tricked by the August Emperor, far worse than Nüwa herself; his vengeful fervor can easily be imagined.

Putting oneself in another's place, not to mention just grave dancing, one might even erect a stele for Donghua bearing the meaning: 'You damn bastard, you finally died, while I, the old man, live on, living lushly.'

And that's the end of it?

No, no, no!

On holidays, they still come to pretend to sweep the tomb, rain or shine.

No way.

Sweeping the grave once yields a share of joy.

Seeing the rival lying in the grave, then thinking about how happy one is now alive—this must be double joy.

What's the point of painstakingly maintaining health?

The meaning lies precisely in such details!

It is to stubbornly outlive everyone who once made one unhappy, becoming the ultimate survivor who earns the right to have the final say after death.

By then, when going out, one will tell everyone how things were back then, secretly belittling the old rival who has already fallen, without fear of being exposed—

When everyone's dead, can they jump out of the coffin to rebut?

Naturally, it's up to me to decide!

Nüwa merely had a thought and came up with many ways to entertain herself with spiritual victory.

——When you're alive you're awesome; once you cool down, it's my turn to be awesome!

Donghua Emperor, the king of spies, a legend in the underworld.

For such a figure, his annual memorial day could never be simple.

A large group of Primordial Divine beings came together, ostensibly to sweep the grave, but what's really going on… those who understand, understand.

Even more outrageous, things like check-ins, photos, posting to social media…… without doubt, behind the scenes there must be some sinister promoter turning this place into a viral check-in holy site, bustling and noisy, unable to be peaceful.

Beings from the eight wildernesses and six unions, from the five lakes and four seas, treat Feather Mountain as a tourist sight, paying a visit…… Moreover, some people, taking advantage of the situation, push along, do a little business, sell drinks and snacks, and then management becomes slightly lax, making it possible for trash to litter the place, ruining the feng shui, so that even in death Donghua cannot rest.

In Honghuang, there are too many ruthless people.

Among the Primordial Divine who harbor evil in their bellies, according to unreliable statistics, they might even make up more than half of the total.

Thus, there came to be a certain Pangu named August Emperor who, at some moment, sighed, and has now received human recognition and support——

The Primordial Divine forces—if all were killed, there would surely be wrongful convictions; but sparing one out of each, there will definitely be fish that slip through the net, escaping justice's punishment!

Therefore, better to mistakenly kill three thousand than to let a single one go!

……

Nüwa admits she also harbors thoughts and impulses: dancing on Donghua's grave, sweeping the tomb, taking photos, posting them to her friends' circle, reaping immense spiritual victory.

From time to time, she brings over a large plate of homemade food, pretending to offer sacrifices while actually eating happily, just to let herself raise her brows and breathe freely.

——I'm still alive, enjoying good food and meals every day, eating to my heart's content.

And you?

You lie there, unable to open your mouth, only able to watch me eat…… Are you angry? Are you angry?

They call you Tuba, and you usually act like a big master—whenever you want something, you just pat the table and order the Nüwa Emperor to do it… Cooking would be fine, but you're picky, muttering, here too much oil, there too little salt—look at his ability!

Nüwa has long been dissatisfied with Fuxi!

But dissatisfaction aside, to do something that causes little harm yet is extremely insulting—a truly despicable act—the Nüwa Emperor deeply believes that only she herself is qualified.

Others?

Don't even think about it!

The grave—moved, moved, hurry up and move it!

Walk others' paths, leaving them with no way to go!

One hand covers the sky, the world in the palm, the Nüwa Emperor's divine might is boundless; Donghua's grave is instantly pulled away, the whole Feather Mountain moves, heaven and earth are exchanged, aiming to cross time and space to fall into the Phoenix Nest Mountains.

Unfortunately…

Perhaps today is Nüwa's unlucky day, with everything going awry.

First came the glorious black history of the 'Nüwa Guide' appearing beforehand, then Emperor River's angry battle with the Saliva Bell implicated the innocent pond fish, immediately after Fuxi's mighty courage threatened to split the family, and finally I myself even died half an older brother.

Even just now, the formerly loyal and devoted confidant general, that sort of little brother who helped her kill and set fires, who helped her destroy corpses and cover tracks—the red‑loyal, faithful little brother Fengxi—dare to undertake actual action, argue with reason, for the survival of the common people, a tiny opposing sprout.

How utterly tragic!

Blessings never come in pairs, misfortunes never come alone.

Nüwa's grave‑moving operation this time… in the dark it was already destined to fail.

Because Donghua had arranged everything from the very beginning.

He still has a good grasp of his own situation.

While alive, it's still okay.

Once dead, things like dancing on the grave will definitely attract lots of interest.

In this regard, he doesn't even trust Nüwa.

No… actually, the one he trusts least is Nüwa!

After all, other ancient gods and sages still have to worry about retaliation from the August Emperor; most things they can only do sneakily, not daring to be blatant.

What if we try Nüwa instead?

Her family status is basically the lowest in the household, as low as it gets—so the saying goes, 'a dead pig isn't afraid of boiling water,' but Nüwa absolutely does not fear retaliation from Fuxi.

What more could retaliation do?

It's just overtime!

It's just ransacking the home!

I've experienced it more than once, I'm used to it, I'm not afraid!

Holding fast to the dream of changing her younger‑brother status in the family, Nüwa embarked on the path to prove the Dao of Pangu, raising the banner of rebellion at home.

The rebel flags are raised, the troops are assembled—does it still matter if Fuxi notes an extra entry in his little notebook?

They won't care!

Can the death penalty be carried out twice?

Beyond a certain limit, one truly has no taboos—such people are the most dangerous.

Donghua believes Nüwa can guard his grave well, not be harmed by people.

But he likewise believes that, in angering him, Nüwa might even match the total of all the Great Luo deeds of those who bear him a grudge!

If it were someone else, kill who should be killed, punish who should be punished—clear and simple, it would actually be easy.

As for siblings, grievances and grudges are tangled, hard to sort out, and difficult to handle.

——An honest official finds it hard to settle family matters.

So simply, don't let Nüwa succeed; arrange your own personnel to help handle the aftermath.

At the same time, continue pushing the plan——

Feign death! Smuggle across!

Some people look dead, completely cold.

But is he really dead?

Not necessarily.

Because the main force that killed him is… Human Dao!

The one responsible for erasing all his active traces is Human Dao; in the eyes of the gods, they killed Donghua to the point of cause and effect nullified, existence zero.

This is the work of Evil Human Dao; it is the target the August Emperor wants to strike hard, correct errors, and purify the source.

But besides Evil Human Dao, there is also Good Human Dao!

When one day good suppresses evil, the light of humanity transcends animalistic indulgence, exercising the wondrous ability of the Great Luo to reverse cause and effect, correct the past……

Thus, some people die, but they are not completely dead.

As long as you prepare a backup beforehand, you can easily lift the coffin and rise!

Of course, doing such a thing is not easy either.

At the very least, you need some reliable teammates to help; you can't let your grave fall into the hands of dangerous elements, constantly swaying before her eyes.

Even under the lamp it's dark—this isn't how you play it.

This is rushing to send heads upward!

When the time comes, that Her Majesty the Empress, upon visiting the grave to sweep it, glances, her mind turns, and she understands everything, then her heart rejoices——

Oh ho!

So you're this kind of Donghua!

Want to feign death?

Have you filed a report with me?

Did you explain the whole story?

Literal: "Have you explained the cause and effect?" Or "Did you explain the antecedents and consequences?" We'll translate naturally: "Have you explained the cause and effect?" Keep as single line.

What?

"What?"

Nothing at all?

Nothing at all?

That's really disrespectful of you!

That's really disrespectful of you!

Forget it, don't even think about it for now—I'll first nail the coffin lid shut, then we'll talk.

"Forget it, don't even try to remember for now; I'll first help you nail the coffin lid shut, then we'll talk." We'll translate: "Forget it, don't even try to remember for now—I'll first help you nail the coffin lid shut, then we'll talk."

In the coffin, reflect properly—first face reality, then copy "Nüwa sister is the greatest" tens of thousands of times!

In the coffin, reflect properly—just face reality first, then copy 'Nüwa sister is the greatest' tens of thousands of times!

Then I can let you out.

"Then I can let you out." We'll translate: "Then I can let you out."

That's not too much to ask.

"This request isn't high." Better: "This request isn't too demanding." We'll translate: "This request isn't too high."

But Fuxi would never accept this, no matter what.

"But, this is something Fuxi would never accept, no matter what." We'll translate: "But this is something Fuxi would never accept, no matter what."

So it's still best to rely on yourself and handle things on your own.

"So, it's still better to rely on oneself and arrange things on one's own." We'll translate: "So it's still better to rely on oneself and arrange things on one's own."

And just as Nüwa was about to succeed...

"Thus, at the moment when Nüwa was about to succeed!" We'll translate: "Thus, at the moment Nüwa was about to succeed!"

The secretly formed alliance took their places, unaware of each other, yet in their ignorance they each exerted their full strength.

"The Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Race, his eyes flickered, and suddenly he drew his sword." We'll translate: "The Demon Race's Heavenly Emperor, his eyes flickered, and suddenly he drew his sword."

The Slaughter Witch Sword today draws blood and reveals its edge—a top-tier ancient god sacrificial sword with boundless ferocity.

After slaying Donghua, it now seeks to slay Nüwa.

"After slaying Donghua, it now wants to slay Nüwa!" We'll translate: "Having slain Donghua, it now seeks to slay Nüwa!"

Nüwa, please don't make things difficult for us!

"Moreover, it had just recently experienced the empowerment of the Human Dao, gathering the might of Honghuang!" We'll translate: "Moreover, it had just recently undergone the empowerment of the Human Dao, gathering the might of Honghuang!"

Although time has passed, the blessing has faded.

But such an opportunity only needs to happen once.

Having received even a single blessing, this sword's grade leaps to the absolute peak, rivaling any innate treasure—and even surpassing it!

"Having undergone even a single empowerment, this sword's grade leaps to the absolute pinnacle, absolutely not inferior to an innate treasure, and even stronger!" We'll translate: "Having undergone even a single empowerment, this sword's grade leaps to the absolute pinnacle, absolutely not inferior to an innate treasure, and even stronger!"

Boom!

"Boom!" We'll translate: "\"Boom! \""

When the Slaughter Witch Sword is wielded by a supreme leader, it rends the entire ancient history, illuminating the river of history and shining upon countless eras.

We'll translate: "When the Slay Witch Sword is wielded by a supreme leader, it rends the entire ancient history, illuminating the river of time and shining upon countless eras."

Slaughter Witch, Slaughter Witch—it's no longer just simple slaughter.

Wielding this sword, even those at the peak can no longer ignore it.

"Wielding this sword, even those who stand at the pinnacle can no longer afford to ignore it." We'll translate: "Wielding this sword, even those who stand at the pinnacle can no longer afford to ignore it."

Her realm wasn't enough, so she relied on external aids.

"Her realm is insufficient; she makes up for it with external aids." We'll translate: "Her realm is insufficient; she makes up for it with external aids."

Emperor Jun racked his brains, poured his heart and blood into forging the Slaughter Witch Sword, then tempered and blessed it until he finally had enough confidence to face Nüwa and Hongjun—at least giving him a fighting chance.

"Di Jun racked his brains, expended great effort, forged the Slay Witch Sword, and after various tempering and empowerments, finally he had enough confidence to contend with Nüwa and Hongjun, at least having a fighting chance." We'll translate: "Di Jun racked his brains, expended great effort, forged the Slay Witch Sword, and after various tempering and empowerments, finally he had enough confidence to contend with Nüwa and Hongjun, at least having a fighting chance."

When that sword burst forth, Feather Mountain returned to the Wasteland and fell back to its original place, while Nüwa's palm showed a shallow sword mark with faint beads of blood seeping out.

"When that sword burst forth, Feather Mountain returned to Honghuang, falling back to its original place, while Nüwa's palm showed a faint sword mark, with faint beads of blood slowly seeping out." We'll translate: "When that sword burst forth, Feather Mountain returned to Honghuang, falling back to its original place, while Nüwa's palm showed a faint sword mark, with faint beads of blood slowly seeping out."

"Di Jun!" We'll translate: "\"Di Jun! \""

Nüwa solemnly gazed at the heavenly emperor, speaking word by word with utmost gravity: "You want to stop me?"

"Nüwa solemnly gazed at the Heavenly Emperor, each word deliberate, utterly grave: 'You want to stop me?'" We'll translate: "Nüwa solemnly gazed at the Heavenly Emperor, each word deliberate, utterly grave: 'You want to stop me?'"

"Exactly!" Emperor Jun slightly closed his eyes, honoring his prior agreement with Donghua, and this was also his final transaction to obtain the authority of the Eastern Barbarians.

"'Exactly!' Di Jun's eyes slightly closed, honoring his prior pact with Donghua, and this is also his final deal to obtain the authority of the Eastern Yi." We'll translate: "'Exactly!' Di Jun's eyes slightly closed, honoring his prior pact with Donghua, and this is also his final deal to obtain the authority of the Eastern Yi."

"—Don't give the grave to Nüwa, or she'll dance on it!" We'll translate: "—Don't give the grave to Nüwa, or she'll dance on it!"

Of course, one can't say that outwardly; a reasonable justification is needed.

"Of course, one cannot say that outwardly; a reasonable pretext is needed." We'll translate: "Of course, one cannot say that outwardly; a reasonable pretext is needed."

And that's not difficult.

"And that is not difficult." We'll translate: "And that is not difficult."
