Chapter 577

Nüwa, wealthy beyond the world, with countless mansions.

Phoenix Perch Mountain, Mount Buzhou, Heavenly Star Sea…… her mansions are everywhere, worthy of her original title of 'Houtu'——

The Sovereign of the Earth!

Also can be honored as——

The Strongest Developer!

In her, it truly embodies what 'the four seas as home' means.

Riches under heaven, dominion over mountains and rivers, the four seas all have a home!

However.

Among so many traveling palaces, not every one holds equal status; there are one or two places where she usually resides.

At this moment, Fengxi silently walked between heaven and earth, soundlessly arriving at Phoenix Resting Mountain, stepping through layer upon layer of prohibitions, directly entering the fundamental residence.

Moreover, he was Nüwa's trusted aide in daily service, frequently visiting this place, so familiar it couldn't be more familiar.

Otherwise, he would still have to waste some effort.

This journey went very smoothly, encountering no unexpected mishaps.

Even the trumpet that Nüwa might have had at ordinary times to welcome visiting guests is gone now!

It was only because Nüwa had just received Fengxi's 'guidance', she exerted all her strength and battled the Dao Ancestor!

This is the most resolute act of breaking the cauldrons and sinking the boats!

Nüwa did it.

This matter is also wonderful.

First, one dared to speak, another dared to believe.

Then, one dared to act, another dared to play at sneaking in.

One cannot help but say, the ruler-minister pair of Nüwa and Fengxi is truly too interesting.

If there were any mistake in this, Fengxi would have to ponder how to fabricate a reason to explain his uninvited arrival and why he sneaked into Nüwa's traveling palace.

Fortunately, the journey went smoothly, safe and sound.

All the way until Fengxi slipped into Nüwa's kitchen, nothing untoward happened, allowing him to see the target object.

——World-Exterminating Great Mill!

A single millstone.

With such an imposing name, it could simply be called——World-Exterminating!

However, in fact……

Here with Nüwa, it is purely just a tool for processing rations.

Poor Rahu Demon Ancestor, mighty and awe-inspiring, boundlessly imposing, once having chased down numerous ancient gods and sages, making them flee in disgrace—a fierce character.

Nowadays, fallen to this state, he can only grind flour and rice powder, having gone through all kinds of grains.

Its status has plummeted by a hundred and eighty thousand layers!

——《This Demon Ancestor Is Obviously Super Strong Yet Only Can Work Part-Time》

"Indeed."

Standing in the kitchen, Fengxi let out a gentle sigh, 'Your Majesty, in your conquests of the world, you did not bring this millstone along.'

"Mm..."

'Can I understand that, in Your Majesty's heart, the vast heavens and earth are not as important as one's own food and drink?'

'Even if one had a bit more combat power, it would not compare to refining daily rations, for fear of repeating the tragedy of the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth.'

Fengxi thought in a nonsensical way, then burst out laughing.

'I got it wrong, I got it wrong…… At Your Majesty's level, besides the Heaven-Opening Axe, using any other spiritual treasure might not be as reliable as one's own fists.'

Nüwa is too strong!

So strong that at that level, the power of a pair of fists surpasses myriad spiritual treasures, gods slay gods, Buddhas slay Buddhas!

That is to say, only the innate supreme treasures have any use for her.

World-Exterminating Great Mill…… still lacking somewhat.

Wielding it in battle, Nüwa might even consider it a superfluous encumbrance.

Thus, it also gave Fengxi a small opportunity.

Before approaching the World-Exterminating Great Mill, he pondered slightly, then flicked his finger, lightly tapping the millstone; a mysterious aura flashed and vanished.

The aura of the Slaughter Immortal Sword Formation.

The rhythm of the Great Dao of Extinguishing Fate.

……

Fengxi brought the secret known only among the Five Fate Dao Lords, gently stirring the spirituality within the World-Exterminating Great Mill, awakening the dormant spiritual light, letting the demon ancestor who once commanded the winds and clouds of that era awaken.

This is very difficult.

After all, back when the incident occurred, Rahu Demon Ancestor and Emperor Donghua, in prison, chatted and laughed freely, boiled wine with plums to discuss heroes, yet they managed to offend Nüwa thoroughly.

Looking back now, perhaps it's the retribution for a sharp tongue!

——The two top-tier experts who once chatted and laughed freely have both met their demise!

Rahu's corpse stands in Nüwa's kitchen, while Emperor Donghua buried himself in Kunlun Immortal Mountain.

However……

They are all dead, yet not completely dead.

Some influential figures who refuse to reveal their names have laid out plans, allowing them to die without stiffening; perhaps only one opportunity is needed for them to feign death and return, giving some players a big surprise!

Just like this moment.

Even if Luo Hou, for speaking blunt truth, made Nüwa furious, her seven orifices smoking, he was blasted to fragments; a trace of his spiritual light became a spiritual treasure, sealed layer upon layer by magical bans, making him seem dead beyond death.

But when Fengxi patiently entered the secret key, repeatedly stimulating it, a spark of life sprouted in the dead silence!

This spark of life was minuscule, like a dying flare, yet Luo Hou, the Demon Forefather, finally awakened!

Spiritual light flashed, a profound and mysterious aura surged, making Fengxi let out a soft 'eh'.

"Eh?"

"Interesting."

Fengxi smiled, "The aura of the Taiyi level, though still unstable, can only be said to have touched that threshold, in the midst of transformation."

But it's already ahead of many!

If this were to spread, many would be shocked enough to drop their jaws, wouldn't they?

Fengxi observed with interest, not panicking in the least, still in the mood to try to investigate.

"Hmm... perhaps I understand."

The way of destruction isn't just about destroying external things; upon reaching a certain extreme, one must also destroy oneself.

By shedding the body, one proceeds toward death to live!

You were suppressed and slain, refined into a great annihilation mill; it can be said that from flesh to primordial spirit, and even to the ego consciousness, you were utterly destroyed!

That's grim.

But for a cultivator of the Destruction Dao like you, it is also the greatest opportunity.

As long as you can return afterward, reborn in the ultimate void of destruction, you can gain a tremendous transformation!

Having said that, his voice trailed off, as if lost in thought, seeming to have thought of something.

After a moment, Fengxi let out a light sigh and clapped his hands.

"Marvelous! Marvelous! Marvelous!"

Who said Luo Hou, the Demon Forefather, lacks wit? Isn't he quite clever?

Normally, when you die, you stay dead... given your despised relationships, it's already good if others don't step on you twice.

Want to return again?

I'm afraid everyone's rushing to set up tribulations for you.

Now it's fine.

You've been drawn into the deepest hidden chess game, having determined your position, which is very important; thus we must help you however we can, to aid you in escaping the tribulation.

"Tsk tsk tsk!"

Fengxi shook his head, sighing.

"Morals decline day by day, people's hearts are not as they used to be, ah!"

"Even the most upright and impulsive demon forefather is playing mind games, so slick... can this world still be good?"

Fengxi felt moved.

These days, there are too many bad people!

How can this good person get by?

One by one, they mouth principles but their hearts are all business.

Even the thick‑eyebrowed, big‑eyed Honghuang terror/member— the Destruction Demon Forefather— has begun to speculate, flip, place bets with the banker, engage in factional speculation, and pave the way for his own fortune.

Thinking of this, Fengxi couldn't help but feel sorrow for the mission he bears.

In the future, he will have to deal with these people, ah!

Each one is as cunning as a ghost; on the path of independent humanity, there are too many stumbling blocks.

Thinking thus, Fengxi sighed in his heart.

— If all the gods were like Lady Nüwa, how wonderful that would be!

He could deceive ten or more times without repetition… ah no, it's that Lady Nüwa is broad‑minded and merciful, not bothering with someone like him, right?

Fengxi gave it serious thought.

If possible, we should still boost Nüwa a bit.

Leaving aside other things, cooperating with such a person isn't more reassuring in the heart than those scheming divinities, is it?

Fengxi kept Nüwa's goodness in mind.

Merely, keeping the good in mind is one thing; being able to take advantage of the benefits is another, and cannot be let go.

— Quietly taking that bit of spiritual light from Luo Hou the Demon Forefather to strengthen the Immortal‑Slaying Sword Formation, is that not excessive?

Fengxi felt, this is not excessive.

Of course, this requires Luo Hou the Demon Forefather's cooperation.

Thus, Fengxi and Yan Yuese consulted with the demon forefather, hoping he would be more reasonable.

"Huo ah!" Fengxi gently patted the millstone, "These years you've slept, your brothers have missed you greatly!"

Through my unremitting efforts, I finally found an opportunity to save you from dire straits.

Fengxi sighed with feeling, describing his hardships over these years.

"You… you… who are you?"

The demon forefather's spiritual light in the Annihilation Mill hesitated and countered, feeling bewildered by the familiar Fengxi.

"You don't recognize me? I'm your elder brother of fortune!" Fengxi widened his eyes.

"Ha ah?" If he had eyes, Luo Hou would probably glare even wider than Fengxi to fully show his inner shock.

— What the heck is this?

In his impression, the Lord of Fortune… is actually the August Emperor, the Heavenly Emperor.

"You… you aren't Fuxi?"

Luohou instantly focused his spirit, spiritual light rose, forming an illusory Dao body, merging with heaven and earth, reflecting the Suiyue Changhe, gathering and summarizing the various information flowing on the surface.

It was only a moment, but the Demonic Ancestor understood much, realizing the surface identity of the being before him.

You… the declining old emperor of the human race.

Nüwa's most core minister.

One who hopes to create a cultivation legend, the earliest to break into the Taiyi level…

As Luohou spoke, the illusory Dao body's expression grew stranger; looking at Fengxi, his gaze was eerie, not knowing what he had thought of.

You're still the Lord of Qi Fortune… this is really absurd!

Standard procedure, stay calm! Stay calm! Fengxi soothed Luohou.

But Luohou couldn't stay calm.

Wait!

The Demonic Ancestor frowned, suddenly feeling that something was off.

If you are the Lord of Qi Fortune, presiding over the Five Fortunes Dao Lords Alliance…

Those conditions you promised me back then… are utterly useless!

Even the mighty Demonic Ancestor has a day of swearing.

The difference is just too great!

He originally believed the Lord of Qi Fortune's nonsense, naturally based on the premise that this Lord of Qi Fortune was Fuxi—a reputation of Pangu; does it need to be doubted?

No need!

But now…

Li Kui is gone.

Li Gui, however, still has one.

How credible is Fengxi's promise?

This is worth doubting!

"Hou ah!" Fengxi said calmly, "You're too young!"

"Don't you know advertisements are for reference only, and everything is subject to the actual product?"

"If fate violates you, since you can't resist, then go enjoy it!"

"Moreover, don't worry too much."

"Although I am not Fuxi, see that I can wield the authority of the Lord of Qi Fortune, and you should understand——"

"I am actually the designated successor of the August Emperor Heavenly Emperor!"

"As for ability, you can trust it."

"Furthermore."

"Follow me, this heir apparent, support me in restoring order; later, if you want to leave prison legitimately, it's just a word from me."

Fengxi said.

Luohou's mouth twitched, and after a long while he barely managed to control his collapsing mindset.

"Restoring order…… if the August Emperor Heavenly Emperor oversees the situation, I still have full confidence."

"You… you bring us four together—would that be enough to kill the Wu Clan, or enough to kill the Demon Race?"

The Demonic Ancestor pointed out the most fatal factor—the lack of peak combat power!

"Don't be afraid."

Fengxi said calmly, "The Wu Clan is strong, the Demon Race is strong, but before the human Dao…… they're all just little brothers!"

"Behind us stands the human Dao!"

"Wait!" Luohou exclaimed in shock, "The Wu and Demon clans—aren't they exactly the forces representing the human Dao? How……"

"Can they truly represent the human Dao? Ridiculous."

Fengxi said slowly, "A group of ancient god sages, relying on the powerful violent institution they established, then based on that set some rules and laws, dividing the will of the myriad beings, acting high and mighty upon it, manipulating people's hearts... This is what represents the Way of Humanity?"

"Hah!"

"Have they truly asked what the myriad beings of today want?"

"If the Way of Humanity remains unawakened, naturally everything is left as it is, to be decided by the ancient god sages."

"If they say there should be war, then there must be war."

"If they say liches are mortal enemies, then they must be mortal enemies."

"And once the myriad beings awaken?"

"Then it is time for the Way of Humanity to take charge!"

Fengxi spoke of the most terrifying thing in an offhand manner, causing the Rahu Demon Ancestor's scalp to go numb and his mind to tremble.

He understood, and thus knew what situation he would face.

It was a time almost like the creation of heaven and earth, when the three thousand innate divinities were transformed into three thousand Chaos demons, and then all were exterminated cleanly!

Overturn heaven and earth!

This will entail much bloodshed and sacrifice.

The Demon Ancestor need only think a little to know—

One day, blood and fire will surely sweep across the land; the blood of the divine, the bones of the myriad beings, will wither away in the flow of time!

However.

After a brief tremor of mind and spirit, the Demon Ancestor burst into laughter, "Such slaughter, such destruction..."

"I am very much looking forward to it, very much desiring it!"

"Being able to become the most ferocious weapon among them... I think I can!"

Once, I was jointly slain by three thousand divinities.

Back then I couldn't let go, but now I bear no grudge.

After all, they truly represented the righteous path of the human heart back then; in substance, they were fighting for the eternal Honghuang!

Luohu the Demon Ancestor grinned, revealing his stark white teeth.

But times change!

Now they have fallen!

Then it's my turn to reap, to point my sword at their hearts and ask if they feel any guilt!

Based on this alone, you... I've decided to support you!

The Demon Ancestor's voice was sonorous and powerful.

At this moment, although he was the mainstay of the Demonic Path, a righteous light rose upon him!

Very good.

Fengxi smiled satisfactorily, restraining the blatant Human Dao bolster on his body so that his combat prowess was no longer wildly brutal.

He had no intention of using force to threaten.

It was merely to blast away any possible eavesdropping little ants around.

Fengxi thought so.

As for whether Luohu the Demon Ancestor also thought so... what does that have to do with him, Feng someone?

"Luohu, your contributions will not be forgotten by the Human Dao!" Fengxi praised the Demon Ancestor, then shifted tone: "Since that's the case, please offer yourself as a sacrifice to the formation, so that the Slay Immortal Sword Formation may gain even sharper edge!"

Right.

Just in case.

Here, don't leave any loopholes in your work, lest the Lady Nüwa notice the problem.

Fengxi clasped his hands in the void to show his respect for Nüwa.

"I understand this perfectly." Luohu nodded, saying, "I have lingered between life and death; my cultivation has made slight progress, nearly crossing that barrier... I can still barely maintain my original state by employing a few minor tricks."

However, Nüwa's cultivation is profound; if she were to examine closely, I dare not guarantee anything.

Don't worry." Fengxi said lightly, "Based on my understanding of the Lady... the most dangerous place is the safest place."

As long as you don't expose any traces yourself, she won't investigate thoroughly.

"..." Luohu looked at Fengxi, his eyes subtle.

——You understand Nüwa this well?

——And you're still doing backstabbing?

"You... remind me of someone." the Demon Ancestor said, his tone gloomy.

Oh? Who is it?

Donghua." Luohu narrowed his eyes, "Back then, I was planted in his hands."

Now, seeing Nüwa walking a similar path... my feelings are somewhat complicated.

You say you are the heir chosen by Fuxi... I believe you.
