Chapter 627

Dragon Ancestor is Huangdi?

Nüwa was startled, somewhat doubtful and incomprehending, "How could that be? According to my estimate..."

Her voice lowered, and her words trailed off abruptly.

This is something that could drive an obsessive-compulsive person to death.

However, Fengxi was feeling guilty at the moment, didn't even have time to shift blame, let alone dare to ask further to satisfy his curiosity.

In case, his beloved Nüwa would blurt out a sentence—

I suspect, Huangdi is you!

—Isn't that awkward?

Pretending to understand while acting clueless, Fengxi deeply felt the importance of this remark; if a suicidal act could be avoided, it should be avoided.

Even if it cannot be avoided, one must still find a scapegoat!

At this very moment, Dragon Ancestor the Great Sage…… Fengxi felt, this is quite fitting!

To prove his point, the conscience of Human Dao racked its brains, doing a reading comprehension of Dragon Ancestor the Great Sage's conduct; those who point out are not good, the good do not come.

As if to convey an atmosphere of conspiracy, Fengxi lowered his voice.

"Your Ladyship, don't you feel…… this time the Dragon Ancestor is too generous?"

"Generous? Is there?"

"Yes! Think about it…… the previous reincarnation incident, although you clearly held the authority over reincarnation, you ended up being suppressed by the Netherworld, almost achieving union with the Dao like Hongjun, bearing the weight of heaven and earth!" Fengxi coaxed gently, temporarily setting aside his conscience, inverting right and wrong, pulling out himself as the culprit at the time, "Afterward, your investigation pointed to whom?"

As soon as this was mentioned, Nüwa instantly spirited, her pretty face darkened, "It's Cang!"

"It's he who betrayed me, causing the great secret of reincarnation to leak; Hongjun blocked me at the door, and also deceived the will of Human Dao, thus reducing me to a laborer!"

Speaking of this, Nüwa became resentful.

"This is one." Fengxi skipped this topic—framing an innocent person, his conscience also ached a bit, but moving on to the next matter, he spoke with righteous confidence, "And there's a second!"

"In ages long past…… Your Ladyship, do you still remember how Emperor Donghua died?"

"If one says the reincarnation incident lacks direct evidence to condemn Dragon Ancestor the Great Sage, then the tragedy of Emperor Donghua…… the Dragon Ancestor himself leapt into it, even outright being the mastermind!"

"For his own Pangu's undertaking, he disregarded the bigger picture, ruthlessly slaughtered the ancient god Hongyun, then gathered helpers and besieged Emperor Donghua, causing my Wu Clan to lose two major aides!"

Fengxi sternly criticized the Dragon Ancestor.

Of course, as he criticized, he instinctively overlooked some deep-hidden secrets behind the scenes.

For example, Emperor Donghua's death is real, being beaten to death by Dragon Ancestor the Great Sage leading a crowd is true, but essentially it was using the opponent's plan—this was originally a tough guy actively seeking death, his whole layout was to become a courier, so as to fully awaken the most important core pawn—Human Dao essence, to awaken and deploy it!

What's more terrifying, Emperor Donghua can even fake his corpse!

In short, in that battle of old, Dragon Ancestor the Great Sage gained nothing, while Emperor Donghua never lost.

From past to present, looking back suddenly…… Fengxi suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.

The Dragon Ancestor is quite miserable!

This is on track to snatch the title of strongest pot‑king of the Wu‑Yao era!

Emperor Donghua pits him with his life.

Fengxi pits him with reincarnation.

Not yet over, now Fengxi, to protect himself, has placed Huangdi's hat on him……

Each of these, they are not human deeds.

Of course.

The Dragon Ancestor isn't wronged either…… in his era he was one of Pangu's competitors, he ought to have self‑awareness, knowing he would be opposed by the world.

Look at the Dao Ancestor: once mighty and domineering, ruling heaven and earth, yet wasn't he imprisoned in the Purple Cloud Palace?

Likewise, Nüwa: after everyone finished off Hongjun, they turned and went after her.

One who wanders the jianghu, who can avoid getting cut?

Dragon Ancestor taking two blows is normal! Normal!

Even if these ancient gods and sages are miserable, could there be anything more miserable than Human Dao?

In the Wu‑Yao war, the cannon fodder that died are all components of Human Dao.

With the passage of time, the gods' mischievous acts have often taken Human Dao as a fool to deceive.

Thinking this way……

In an instant, Fengxi's conscience stopped hurting.

Stabbing Dragon Ancestor the Great Sage is also a stab done with a clear conscience, peace of mind.

The tides turn, Human Dao essence comes to settle accounts!

Thus, he gleefully reported to Nüwa, using his practiced "free heart certificate," arguing that Dragon Ancestor the Great Sage harbors sinister intentions; Nüwa, you must be extremely careful!

"Although speaking, the big picture…… it's really just that: if it benefits me, I'll look after a bit; if it harms me, I'll just flip the table and leave."

"There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests."

"But this also indirectly shows that Dragon Ancestor the Great Sage harbors different ambitions, making him untrustworthy!"

Fengxi wore a solemn expression, "Nowadays, the Dragon Ancestor merely seeks the position of human sovereign; whether or not to be crowned emperor is of little concern…… Your Highness Nüwa, do you say he would be such a generous person?"

"I suspect, behind him he harbors other schemes!"

"Hmm……" Nüwa immediately had a hint of association, following Fengxi's words, her train of thought expanded.

"If you say so……" Nüwa's expression turned grave, obviously she had thought of something, her brows knit tight, her eyes flashing with menace.

What Nüwa thought of, Fengxi neither dared to ask nor to smell.

He merely kept within bounds, not overstepping, "This time, you personally command the army, using yourself as bait—be extremely careful."

"Do not forget past events, they are lessons for the future; the death of Princess Nüwa, I still cannot forget."

Fengxi's brow bore a hint of sorrow, "Referring again to Emperor Donghua's downfall, I deeply fear this will be another repeat of the Dragon Ancestor's old trick."

He colluded with the enemy, leaked your intelligence, and even when facing a weak opponent he prepared with all his might— the situation truly became perilous.

Although you are powerful, you are ultimately just an incarnation, holding the Yandi throne… if the high-ranking demons all descend, you face certain death.

Referring back to the upheaval when the cycle of reincarnation was reshaped, you and the Dao Ancestor both suffered losses, letting the Heavenly Court and the Dragon Race reap the benefits like fishermen.

If the Dragon Ancestor wished, he could easily reappear… you and the Heavenly Court were both heavily wounded, while the Dragon Race escaped unscathed and seized the initiative.

By that time, whether the Dragon Ancestor could still obtain the Human Emperor's position is no longer important… he could instead become the sovereign of the Human Dao.

Within humanity, the title of supreme leader lets one do many things… for instance, criticizing your rash actions, then sweeping away the policies you insisted on promoting, overturning the core.

For example, advocating human‑dragon cooperation to build an external circulation model… on the other hand, presenting himself as the victor, he further expands his influence among the Demon Race.

Taking the foundations of both humanity and the Demon Race, setting up a new furnace, forging the throne of the Human Dao sovereign… thereafter it becomes nearly impossible to check.

Fengxi's expression was extremely solemn, his words sketching out a schemer with endless machinations: "Back then, he rode the tide, sweeping back upon humanity… indeed, you signed an agreement with him; he would not do well to become Human Emperor."

But… he could monopolize the lineage of all future human supreme leaders!

Not seeking to be a sovereign, his virtue shines through the ages.

Yet he could stand as the foremost emperor, subduing all nations.

You are now Yandi.

Yet he could rise to power by treading on your prestige…

If this isn't Huangdi, what else could it be?

Furthermore, by exercising control over all future supreme leaders, he would depict humanity as the descendants of the dragon…

I dare not imagine… I dare not imagine!

Fengxi sighed repeatedly.

"Once, the dragon totem was merely a dragon totem, and the right to interpret it belonged to the Human Emperor."

"But today, the Dragon Ancestor has crossed the barrier and can seize the position of supreme leader."

"Moreover, he is at odds with you, and for the sake of the Pangu Dao's fruition, a battle between you is inevitable."

"So… Your Ladyship, this time you are directing a grand play— you must be extremely careful and cautious."

"Watch out for a stab from behind; don't give the Dragon Ancestor Great Sage a chance to rebel."

Fengxi earnestly instructed Nüwa, the concern and worry on his face utterly genuine.

After all.

As he spoke, he himself almost believed it.

Don't even say.

This is not impossible.

Of course, the possibility is just very small… the Human Dao already has its own ideas!

However, no matter how small the possibility, if it were to succeed… the Human Dao's attempt to realize its goal would face enormously increased difficulty, a perilous path requiring the accumulation of ages to let the people's wisdom awaken.

Fengxi spoke with alarmist gravitas, Nüwa's expression grew solemn.

The female sage's eyes grew deep, she nodded solemnly, "Alright, I understand."

"This indeed cannot be left unguarded… the Dragon Ancestor has a long rap sheet, having done too many disgraceful things!"

"He killed Donghua and then screwed me over… every time I am about to soar and transform, he stabs me twice in the back, giving me a chilling sensation to the core."

Nüwa said while pacing back and forth, "I ought to learn the lesson, prevent the tragedy from recurring, so that this sovereign is not pinned to the leader‑intelligence shame list."

In the same pit, Nüwa does not want to fall a third time!

How embarrassing would that be!

"Huangdi… Huangdi…" Nüwa murmured, her eyes gradually turning dangerous.

As a spectator and observer of the game, she already had some opinions about the Yan and Huang, but they were not actually that significant.

But now she has become "Yandi"!

No matter how strange the cause, when a monk strikes the bell each day, the entanglement has come to this.

As Yandi, to look upon Huangdi again… this opinion is no longer merely significant.

At this very moment, the once loyal little follower put forth his own speculation about Huangdi, and the chosen target is still one who opposes her in the Pangu Dao…

Nüwa felt this deserved careful attention, lest she capsize in a gutter!

"Perhaps I should make some other arrangements that could serve as a proper check."

Suddenly her eyes lit up, "Hmm… I might have already thought of it."

"Huh?" Fengxi wondered, "Is that so? Your Ladyship's great talent!"

"Mm‑hmm! Just average!" Nüwa feigned modesty, "I also just thought of it suddenly."

"You mentioned Donghua, reminding me that he left behind something."

"Dongyi!"

"A force distinct from the central royal court of humanity, it was the fief granted to Shao Hao in former years, the land where Donghua's confidants cultivated and thrived, inheriting considerable power."

"The original purpose of establishing Dongyi was, first, to solidify the front line and defend against the Heavenly Court; second, to monitor the Dragon Race's main force in the Eastern Sea."

"Although the sovereign of Dongyi fell shortly after taking office… some of the responsibilities that ought to be borne were still shouldered."

Nüwa clapped her palms, spirits lifted, "Especially, there is Donghua's death!"

"The Dongyi lineage cannot coexist under the same heaven as the Dragon Race!"

"No matter who becomes supreme leader, the Dragon Totem lineage must not ascend to that position!"

"This is the most resolute anti‑dragon faction!"

"Now is the time!"

Nüwa's eyes gleamed, "This force ought to coalesce and select a talent capable of bearing great responsibility!"

"I don't expect them to make any splendid contribution to the front; as long as they keep an eye on the Dragon Ancestor and on Fangxun, preventing him from stabbing me in the back with two deadly blows at a critical moment… I'll be satisfied."

Ah this...

Fengxi opened his mouth, facing the somewhat excited Nüwa, he didn't know what to say.

As an informed person.

He understood...

The Eastern Barbarians are no pushovers!

Who knows how much of Di Jun's power from the Heavenly Court exists in here!

Using this force to keep the dragon clan in check…… Hmm, alright, no problem.

They will surely give it their all; for a test worth a hundred points, they'll definitely make it score a hundred twenty!

Fengxi cursed in his heart, wanting to persuade but unable to make his words consistent, his mouth twitching, he felt utterly awful.

This is…… luring the tiger to devour the wolf!

Just having stepped out of the dragon pool, the next moment they plunged headfirst into the tiger's den……

Sigh…… Your Majesty, I don't know whether to cry or laugh……

Your chosen candidate…… why are they always so tricky?

Matters, I can definitely get them done for you.

But in the end, whether we'll turn against you and cross swords…… that's truly uncertain.

Fengxi greatly admired Nüwa.

She always manages to pick truly capable people who can handle affairs and bring them to perfection, but in the end……

Enough…… enough!

At worst, I'll think later about how to make amends……

All Fengxi can do is this.

He wore a bitter face, holding a conflicted mindset, watching Nüwa hang up the communication and hurry away.

With one hand on his forehead, he shook his head, deciding to pass along his inner displeasure downward.

Someone come!

I want to hold the opening ceremony of the election for the Great Emperor of Abundant Capital!

……

Nüwa is a person of action.

Once she thinks of it, she naturally goes ahead and does it.

As Yandi, representing the central court of the human race, she met with the Eastern Barbarians forces of the human feudal lords.

Before the emperor's personal campaign, she took time to visit, to deeply understand and investigate.

After some investigation, Nüwa was somewhat surprised, yet also satisfied.

——Although the Eastern Exalted Emperor has fallen, the Eastern Barbarians forces have developed quite well!

This gave Nüwa greater confidence in her plan.

Very good…… the Eastern Barbarians have developed quite well these years……

Yandi visited the Eastern Barbarians, chatting and laughing with many elders of this tribe, saying, 'I don't know, is there any capable person here holding the fort? Let me take a look.'

Mmm…… Your Majesty the Human Sovereign, to be frank, when it comes to outstanding individuals, we really have one here.

That elder laughed and said, 'His name is Chonghua, a very virtuous and filial child!'

Furthermore, he was born with an extraordinary sign—a pair of double pupils!

Your Majesty, follow me, I'll take you to meet him……
