Chapter 569

The dream of striking back in revenge was nipped in the bud.

Translation: "The dream of striking back in revenge was nipped in the bud."

Check: "dream of striking back/revenge" = dream of striking back/revenge. "was strangled in the cradle" = was strangled in the cradle. So "The dream of striking back in revenge was nipped in the bud." Good.

Unable to achieve even a small goal, Nüwa felt very disheartened.

Translation: "Unable to achieve even a single 'small goal', Nüwa felt deeply disheartened."

We need to use Nüwa exactly.

This made her feel emotional—

Translation: "This made her sigh—"

Social morals deteriorate day by day, divine hearts are no longer as they once were!

Translation: "Morals degenerate day by day, divine hearts are no longer ancient!"

But we need to keep tone. 'Social customs decline day by day, divine hearts are no longer ancient!' Could be 'Social customs decline daily, divine minds are no longer ancient!' I'd translate: 'Social morals deteriorate day by day, divine hearts are no longer as they once were!' However we need to be faithful. Let's do: 'Social customs decline day by day, divine hearts are no longer ancient!'

Alas, how sorrowful!

Translation: "Alas, alas!"

No accident occurred.

Translation: "No 'accident' occurred."

Human Dao's support is immensely strong, nearly matching Pangu's—yet it is hampered by many limitations and ultimately falls just short.

Translation: "The support of the Human Dao is very powerful, infinitely close to Pangu…… Unfortunately, first, there are many restrictions, and second, there remains a hair's breadth difference."

We need to use Pangu exactly.

Under an 'accident', the collateral damage accidentally killing a 'passerby' could be excused, but to openly and brazenly slay a being with sufficient support—the Taiyi Great Ability? Human Dao does not understand, let alone support.

Under an 'accident', the collateral damage accidentally killing a 'passerby' could be excused, but to openly and brazenly slay a being possessing sufficient support—the Taiyi Great Ability? The Human Dao does not understand, let alone support.

The temporary lending of power is for renewing the cycle of reincarnation, not for settling personal scores.

Thus: "Under an 'accident', the collateral damage accidentally killing a 'passerby' could be excused, but to openly and brazenly slay a being possessing sufficient support—the Taiyi Great Ability? The Human Dao does not understand, let alone support."

If it were merely an 'accident', then one could not slay the Dao Ancestor Heavenly Emperor who follows the heart like flowing water, let alone contend with August Emperor Fuxi, given the contradictory dispute over 'head‑pat killing', which would provoke a war among the Pangu adherents.

Translation: "The temporary loan of power is meant to innovate the cycle of reincarnation, not to settle personal grudges!"

Dao Ancestor Heavenly Emperor (Dao Ancestor Heavenly Emperor?), August Emperor (August Emperor), Fuxi (Fuxi), Pangu's people (Pangu-ers? maybe "Pangu's people" or "Pangu faction"). Also "following the heart like flow" is a phrase meaning "following one's heart like flow". We'll keep quotes.

We need to decide translation for Dao Ancestor Heavenly Emperor. "Dao Ancestor" = Dao Ancestor, "Heavenly Emperor" = Heavenly Emperor. So "Dao Ancestor Heavenly Emperor". Could be a title. We'll translate as "Dao Ancestor Heavenly Emperor". For August Emperor we have glossary: August Emperor. For Fuxi: Fuxi. For Pangu's people: maybe "Pangu's followers" or "Pangu faction". Since it's a term referring to people associated with Pangu, we could translate as "Pangu's adherents" or "Pangu faction". But we need to be faithful: "Pangu's people" literally "Pangu-ers". Could be "Pangu people". We'll translate as "Pangu's people". However we need to see if it's a named entity; it's a group. We'll list later.

We need to keep quotes around "accident", "following the heart like flow", "head‑pat killing".

Now translation: "And if it were purely an 'accident'…… then one could not kill the 'follow-your-heart-like-flow' Dao Ancestor Heavenly Emperor, let alone speak of opposing the August Emperor Fuxi, due to the conflict over the 'head-patting killing', which would spark a war among Pangu's people."

This makes Nüwa feel immensely regretful, lamenting that external forces can be borrowed but not relied upon; forging iron still requires one's own strength.

Thus: "And if it were purely an 'accident'…… then one could not kill the 'follow-your-heart-like-flow' Dao Ancestor Heavenly Emperor, let alone speak of opposing the August Emperor Fuxi, due to the conflict over the 'head-patting killing', which would spark a war among Pangu's people."

To hold one's head high, one must still rely on the dependable power that comes from oneself as Pangu.

Translation: "This made Nüwa feel immensely regretful, lamenting that external power can be borrowed but not relied upon—forging iron still requires one's own strength."

pure Chinese -> translate.

Translation: "To hold one's head high, one must still rely on the dependable power that comes from oneself as Pangu."

Other external forces always have various shortcomings, making one's mindset prone to explosion.

Other external forces always have their own shortcomings, easily causing one's mindset to explode.

Translation: "Other external forces always have this or that drawback, making one's mindset prone to explode."

However, naturally optimistic, she quickly casts aside those negative mindsets, actively exercises her rights, and realizes the results of her negotiations with Human Dao.

Translation: "However, she, naturally optimistic, quickly cast aside those negative mindsets, actively exercised her rights, and realized the results of her negotiations with the Human Dao."

Reincarnation—Update!

Translation: "Reincarnation—Update!"

"……"

Translation: "……"

Supreme divine powers and magic are unleashed by Nüwa at this moment.

Translation: "Supreme divine powers and magical abilities were unleashed by Nüwa at this moment."

She turns the myriad phenomena of the heavens.

Translation: "She set the myriad heavens and myriad phenomena in motion."

She confuses past, present, and future.

Translation: "She scrambled past, present, and future."

Starting from the most basic level, she alters the principles of reincarnation, redefining the concepts of past life, present life, and future life.

Translation: "Starting from the most fundamental level, she alternated the principles of reincarnation, redefining the concepts of past life, present life, and future life."

Each moment flows with the supreme truth sufficient to intoxicate the gods, which she finds herself unworthy of.

Translation: "Each instant flows with a supreme truth sufficient to intoxicate the myriad gods, leaving one feeling inadequate."

Time, void, creation, destruction, order…

Translation: "Time, void, creation and destruction, order……"

One kind of way after another appears, shines, manifests, and ultimately all return to—the Great Reincarnation!

Translation: "One kind of Dao after another bursts forth, flashing and displaying, ultimately all returning to——the Great Reincarnation!"

These ways all originate from the everlasting, indestructible fruit of the Way known as "Honghuang".

Translation: "These Daos all originate from the 'Honghuang'—this eternal, indestructible Dao fruit."

Upon close examination, the source can also be said to be every living being, and even every Great Luo, whose wisdom achievements are backed up and recorded in this world, becoming the most precious crystallizations of wisdom.

Finally.

Translation: "Finally."

At this moment.

Translation: "At this time."

Here.

Translation: "At this place."

With Nüwa's deft hands, she treated them as bricks, dismantling and reassembling them to establish the foundation of the Great Wilderness—reincarnation—thereby reshaping this great undertaking!

Translation: "Through Nüwa's deft hands, they were regarded as bricks, dismantled and reassembled, to achieve the reconstruction of the foundation of Honghuang—the cycle of reincarnation, this great project."

pure Chinese -> translate.

Translation: "Such a process is infinitely precious, and can be said to be one of only two in the present age."

pure Chinese -> translate.

Translation: "After all, the cycle of reincarnation set up by Pangu is too magnificent."

pure Chinese -> translate.

Translation: "It transcends time, envelops all phenomena, and involves and encompasses all things…… Given that, to reshape it, how great an authority is required?"

pure Chinese -> translate.

Translation: "To put it bluntly, that is——the Heavenly Dao!"

pure Chinese -> translate.

Translation: "The Three Thousand Great Daos are all contained within!"

And this authority…… is now bestowed by the Human Dao in the name of the Great Wilderness!

Translation: "And this authority…… is granted by the present Human Dao, in the name of 'Honghuang'!"

pure Chinese -> translate.

Translation: "Although, it is only temporary, time-limited, and exists only during the period of reincarnation reconstruction."

pure Chinese -> translate.

Translation: "But for the conductor, it is already enough."

pure Chinese -> translate.

Translation: "Having overseen this world‑shaking project, could the experience gained within possibly be lost along with the loss of authority?"

pure Chinese -> translate.

Translation: "No!"

pure Chinese -> translate.

Translation: "This experience is the realm, is the cultivation progress—once proven, forever proven; once achieved, forever achieved."

pure Chinese -> translate.

It is as if a golden carp that had once transformed into a dragon, even if encountering an accident and reverting to its original state, but having become a true dragon and soared into the Nine Heavens, the scenery it witnessed remains forever etched in its mind, its pattern having undergone a qualitative change, no longer as before.

pure Chinese -> translate.

Translation: "That can be said."

Nüwa's this update of the cycle of reincarnation is, for herself, likewise a leap‑forward improvement, sufficient to fill the final gap in her cultivation level compared to the Heavenly Dao Spirit—Hongjun, truly placing her on the same footing.

pure Chinese -> translate.

Translation: "If someone could give Nüwa at this moment an abstract depiction of her image……"

Then, on her forehead, '+1', '+1' would surely keep appearing, the experience bar skyrocketing, rising all the way to the Dao Ancestor in the distant Purple Cloud Palace, whose expression would grow ever more solemn and grave.

"A formidable foe……"

Translation: "\"A formidable foe……\""

The Dao Ancestor sighed softly.

Translation: "The Dao Ancestor sighed softly."

"Are those with connections really that impressive?"

Translation: "\"Are connections impressive? \""

pure Chinese -> translate.

Translation: "He angrily rebuked."

pure Chinese -> translate.

Translation: "Afterward, it turned into a powerless whisper."

"That's right…… those with connections really are impressive."

Translation: "\"That's right…… connections really are impressive. \""

"Being resentful is useless; I have no temper."

Translation: "\"Being dissatisfied is useless; I have no temper at all. \""

Hongjun, the Dao Ancestor, feels conflicted.

Translation: "Hongjun, the Dao Ancestor, had a complicated mood."

pure Chinese -> translate.

Translation: "Until he felt the heavenly Dao authority he possessed, his heart only then felt somewhat relieved."

pure Chinese -> translate.

Translation: "The same level."

pure Chinese -> translate.

Translation: "Those with authority and those without still have some difference in combat power."

pure Chinese -> translate.

Translation: "Even if Nüwa had the same cultivation as him, she still could not beat him, and would still be unable to do so."

pure Chinese -> translate.

The Heavenly Dao——the greatest, strongest artificial intelligence of Honghuang, at last retains a little bit of pride.

"However, I am still bound by Dao oaths…… the Infinite Great Calamity, ha! The Infinite Great Calamity!"

"However, I still have Dao oaths binding me…… the Infinite Great Calamity, ha! The Infinite Great Calamity!"

Hongjun furrowed his brow.

If this isn't lifted, although my combat power is strong, I can only passively take hits……Even great strength, if it cannot be exerted, what use is it?

Just taking hits without striking back is a worrisome and sad matter.

However, when the Dao Ancestor thought of his prior preparations made against Nüwa, his tightly furrowed brows relaxed again.

Thanks to Heaven.

Thanks to this good friend's timely reminder, it was very effective.

Let me chip away at Nüwa a bit more, put shackles on her, limit her combat power……

Tsk!

So what if they have connections?

Once the crown is worn, one must bear its weight.

Everyone's pretty much the same……That situation remains under my control!

Hongjun's gaze was brilliant, deep within his eyes lay only resoluteness.

Those with connections will surely be punished!

Justice still exists!

Heavenly principle still exists!

But……

At the same moment.

There was a young hero, happily moaning in a voiceless, satisfied murmur.

Alas……

Being able to be a connected person and take a back door once—that's truly great happiness……

Lady Nüwa is a truly good person!

Fengxi narrowed his eyes comfortably.

At this moment, his aura gradually deepened, like an abyss, like the sea, making his power hard to gauge.

He was growing, advancing, following in Nüwa's footsteps.

As for how Fengxi made such strange progress——

Naturally, it's as he himself said——

Taking the back door!

No……Strictly speaking, describing it that way is biased.

——Can returning to one's own home be called taking the back door?

Absolutely not!

Fengxi, or Feng Mouren.

The Human Dao's 'kindness,' 'beauty,' 'hope,' and so on, are the personifications representing truth, goodness, and beauty.

After he comprehended his own origin, he naturally mastered a trivial technique——

Union with the Dao!

Similar to the Dao Ancestor Hongjun's Union with the Dao!

However, Hongjun unites with the Heavenly Dao, while Fengxi unites with the Human Dao.

Moreover, due to the Human Dao's problem of spiritual division, the illness is serious……This Union with the Dao is still a severely diminished, inferior version.

Rather than calling it Union with the Dao, it's better described as——borrowing momentum.

Like Nüwa's current situation, or even worse.

Being able to gain partial permission buffs, one could want to mark someone as red-named and then borrow power to crush them mightily?

Difficult!

Difficult!

Difficult!

Looks like it isn't very useful.

But.

As the saying goes, there are no useless skills, only useless people.

Any skill has its moment to shine.

Just like now.

Nüwa is displaying her supreme powers, wielding ultimate divine abilities, mastering the authority of the Human Dao, commanding the might of Honghuang, performing inconceivable deeds, reshaping samsara, opening up the Underworld!

In this process, what evolves is Nüwa's ultimate achievement in the Great Dao she cultivates and practices, exhausting her heart and blood, containing all her wisdom, all her understanding of the Dao.

Even those watching gods were thus shaken, having a vague sense of enlightenment and elevation of the Dao, but because of seeing flowers through the mist, they could not grasp any concrete clue.

And Fengxi?

He is not a mere observer.

But rather……a participant!

Although saying it out loud, the way of being a participant is embarrassing.

——Not the one who acts.

——But the material that is acted upon.

Samsara renewed, changing the foundation of the Human Dao.

Then……

As a specially connected person directly under the Human Dao, secretly practicing 'Union with the Dao,' taking back doors, merging one's divine will with the part of the Human Dao's foundation that needs change, becoming the cornerstone of Nüwa's evolution of the Great Dao, being 'this and that,' then being turned over and over……

Recently, to closely experience the true meaning of the Great Dao that Nüwa has evolved, through passive cultivation, I directly and thoroughly felt the mysteries of samsara, sharing the construction experience of this great project.

——So that's how it is!

——Time and Creation can actually be recombined and united in this way?

——Void and Destruction, yet at the end of deathly stillness, turned the soul's rebirth?

……

Under the Human Dao's attention, Nüwa unreservedly displayed her own Dao Fruit, without any concealment, pulling out all her hidden tricks.

Also.

Who would suspect that, in fact, there is a pair of eyes in the darkness, eagerly learning everything?

It's not that Nüwa is stupid…… but rather no one could have thought of it!

August Emperor actually teamed up with the Human Dao, digging a big pit?

Absurd!

Outrageous!

And, with August Emperor's flawless strategies, anticipating the enemy's moves; with the Human Dao's outwardly honest but inwardly shrewd nature… together they produced such a peculiar blossom as Fengxi, a low-key and lascivious development.

No matter who.

All will roll around in this pit, falling flat on their backs.

This isn't a matter of scheming wisdom; it's purely a suppression of level and information, equivalent to two Pangu conspiring in layout!

No matter who, if they fall here, it's not unjust.

Right now, this wave, Nüwa is being played.

And in the future?

At that time, those who will be played will be far more than just Nüwa alone.

Many people will go down to accompany Nüwa, becoming sacrifices on the Human Dao's blood-soaked road of taking charge!

Three Thousand Great Luo.

Three Thousand Gods and Saints.

Wouldn't dying two thousand seven or eight be worth the appearance fee of the two supreme beings?

In the not-so-distant future, blood and fire covered the land, gods and saints sang lamentations in the ages!

And all the origins stem from this moment, that Fengxi, who is comfortably enjoying the benefit of being carried by Nüwa.

Fengxi got a freebie of a rare opportunity unseen in myriad ages.

Nüwa personally performed the dharma, elaborating her own Great Dao through the 'active offering'.

Creation and Reincarnation united—this is a road straight to Pangu!

Nüwa hasn't yet reached that supreme height, but she's close.

Now she unleashes her power, borrowing the unreplicable backdrop of 'Honghuang' to vividly display for Fengxi the landscape of her own standing—how marvelous and inconceivable it is, lighting an eternal, unextinguished lamp in Fengxi's heart and ahead on his path.

Even if Nüwa's Great Dao, for Fengxi, can only be referenced, not copied—those who learn from me live; those who imitate me die.

But with this reference, by taking strengths and making up for shortcomings, it is enough for Fengxi to make great progress in his initial Dao cultivation of Great Simplicity, quietly leaping into a new world.

A snap of the fingers' worth of time is enough to surpass several eras of secluded cultivation.

Strangely, Fengxi felt——

Perhaps he is now no inferior to the peak-era Dragon Ancestor Dragon Ancestor, truly capable of shouldering the rise and fall of a great clan as a pillar!

"Lady Nüwa…… truly a great person……"

Fengxi murmured, repeatedly thanking Nüwa, a good person, his benefactor, who could turn into wings and carry him aloft.

Indeed——

Wawa carries aloft, Xixi lies victorious!

"This way, my chances of victory in the future are greater."

Fengxi sensed his Dao cultivation increasing, time and ages gradually turning into toys in his hand…… one era making an antiquity, Fengxi could also play with it.

Gazing at time, looking down on the future, the mists on the River of Ages scatter——this is the chaos caused by countless Great Luo contenders, especially those Great Divine Powers, who dig pits here and hide thunder there, each one cunning.

Yet in Fengxi's eyes at this moment, many hidden threats naturally become clear, and he has a sizable stake, shifting time, arranging fate, letting some future trends shift with his will, and while attempting to connect with the past, to consolidate.

Once consolidation succeeds……

Then it is Pangu!

Of course, the competition here is fierce.

Fengxi can feel that, in the ages' contest, two utterly unmasked, most distinct and strongest wills are opposing…… he knows them well: one is Nüwa, the other is Hongjun.

They collide and duel, opening one after another new time river, intertwining and wearing down, all the way to absolute emptiness, yet still battling!

And besides these, there are some somewhat lesser wills, some silent, some lively…… such as Di Jun, Taiyi, Bai Ze, Minghe, and so on.

But appearances are appearances, the concrete details…… perhaps, except the parties involved, no one can know their resolve.

Fengxi remains in silence.

Compared to others, he has a great advantage——his entrance is silent and soundless, very suitable for carrying out the maneuvers of an old schemer.

Calculating chips, computing odds, Fengxi's mouth corners cranked up wildly.

However, perhaps feeling it unsuitable, he hard-pressed his eyes, barely squeezing out a tear.

"It's merely regrettable, a sorrowful thing is……

"I have witnessed the cycles of reincarnation, understood the turning of creation, and my understanding of the Lady has deepened……

"How to stab in the future to cause a critical hit…… is also clearer in my heart.

"Sigh……

"It's truly sinful!

Fengxi let out a deep sigh.

He swore to heaven!

He really didn't want it to be like this!

It's just that…

It's the timing.

It's fate.

Fengxi, his arrangements were clear.

The pirate ship has been boarded; if you still want to get off, it'll be hard.

Taking people's money and wealth, that's still easy to talk about—worst case, we can default on the debt—but a life, if you want it, just take it.

The truly sorrowful thing is forever the great righteousness—humanity and all living beings need a ray of light!

Therefore, Fengxi can only walk this path to the end, becoming the sharpest blade, cutting humanity's ailments, and also educating some "problem children".

"My lady, please rest assured…"

Fengxi muttered.

"When the time comes, even if you meet misfortune…"

"I will also send many people down to accompany you."

"It won't leave you alone, becoming the laughingstock of the age."

"This… perhaps is also the last thing I can do."

Fengxi chanted softly, his profound gaze sweeping across the Honghuang heavens and earth, inadvertently landing on the domains of some ancient god titans.

For example, the Dragon Ancestor, Dragon Ancestor, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the Heavenly Emperor Di Jun…

Etc.

Fengxi swore in his heart.

——Nüwa, she definitely won't be the most embarrassing one!

——Under her, there will definitely be many many supporters!

PS: May Day is coming, you all know what that means!
