Chapter 664: with translation of chapter title

Trampling the battlefield of mortal combat, standing proudly between heaven and earth, the Yandi reappeared.

Now it is time for the dust to settle, and the actors need no longer pretend.

Like Fengxi……

Nüwa has laid her cards bare!

Moreover, in the process of laying her cards bare, she slew one of the Ten Great Yao Marshals.

This is a splendid victory……after all, look at the foes she faced——

With Taiyi the Eastern Emperor as commander-in-chief.

Jimeng, Qinyuan, Guiche, and Feilian—the four great Yao Marshals—form the core!

Plus a horde of Yao gods serve as auxiliaries!

And the innate supreme treasure, the Chaos Bell, with part of its power dispersed but still terrifyingly formidable—the Slaughter-Witch Sword!

With such a luxurious lineup, they charged headlong into the trap prepared by "Nüwa Guide," paying a grievous price.

This, from the side, proves……

Nüwa Guide!

She has finally risen!

No longer the frequent visitor on the pillar of shame who once angrily delivered her brother's head as an incarnation, but now a formidable figure standing on her own.

Of course, being able to achieve such a feat is subtly related to how the gods of old viewed her——

They all thought she was an honest person!

And, not too bright a fellow.

Because she is an honest person, coupled with an overlooking of scheming and wisdom, they dare to come to her door to cause trouble, feeling little pressure in their hearts.

Therefore, Nüwa was bound by the holy position, then constrained by reincarnation, and the Dragon Ancestor even tried to seize power……

Tragic!

Tragic!

Tragic!

But when an honest person gets angry, the consequences are dreadful.

Nüwa Guide proved herself——

She too can show off!

Nüwa is kind-hearted, yet must not be trifled with!

At this very moment, the head she holds in her hand has hollow eyes, streaming blood-tears, a sight of desolation.

It seems like retribution for her own "having eyes but no pearls."

"Feilian……"

Di Jun gazed at that head—it is shaped like a peacock's head, yet bears towering strange horns on top, quite distinctive among the Ten Great Yao Marshals, and is the divine true-body part of a certain Yao Marshal.

The lifeless spiritual light is sealed within the head, utterly extinguished, no longer spirited……this death is utterly thorough.

To wish to return, one knows not how many ages must pass.

This is far more miserable than Yingzhao and Bifang……Yingzhao was merely suppressed, Bifang only captured alive, yet at least they could still breathe.

"It is I who have wronged you."

The Heavenly Emperor sighed.

"With your departure, I know not when you shall return."

The sorrow in his tone infected heaven and earth, mountains and rivers, causing countless beings to weep inexplicably.

"Ha……"

"No way."

"There are rather many big fish in the net, so I cannot hold back either."

Nüwa laughed as she explained, brushing off the bloodstains on her battle garb—some from the enemy, some her own—alone, facing so many ruthless foes and still achieving suppression, even victory, which is no easy feat.

Even if she, with painstaking scheming, reached a point that could be called perfect——

Grasping the identity of Yandi, she obtained the blessing of human fortune, a boost in combat power.

Moreover, she beforehand concealed heaven and crossed the sea, seizing battlefield initiative in advance—a calculated move against the unwitting, capable of striking the enemy once unawares.

Even further, she activated the most dreadful Killer's Trick, a reforging of the half-finished Pangu True Body!

The world only knows that the Wu Clan's Twelve Ancestral Witches, joining hands, can construct the Pangu True Body, roaming heaven and earth, the Wu Clan's greatest foundation.

Yet this subtlety is a secret transmitted only among the Daluo……for instance, the essence of the Great Array of Heavenly Gods and Slaughter lies not in the so-called gods and slaughter, but in the ultimate elaboration of the Way of Creation, which is "Rebirth from a Drop of Blood"!

However, the object of this "Rebirth from a Drop of Blood" is exceedingly exalted—using Pangu's essence-blood to reenact Pangu's form!

Unfortunately the plan is sound, but the executor—Nüwa—still falls far short of Pangu's realm. Thus the "Rebirth from a Drop of Blood" is not perfect; it requires the Grand Dao mastered by the Twelve Ancestral Witches to serve as assistance, forming the framework to achieve the Pangu True Body.

Precisely for this reason, the combination of the Grand Dao of those Twelve Ancestral Witches is quite subtle—it includes the Five Elements of metal, wood, water, fire, earth; the heavenly phenomena of wind, rain, thunder, lightning, weather; and the spacetime that determines and moves all things!

They are indeed one of the mainstreams constituting the myriad phenomena of heaven and earth, capable of interpreting the worldly laws after Pangu's body transformed into Honghuang; thus, when Nüwa uses "Rebirth from a Drop of Blood" to reverse flesh and blood into the Pangu True Body, they can subtly resonate with heaven and earth, ensuring the result does not deviate too much, fixing it as "Pangu" rather than some other strange oddity……

This is also easy to understand.

Kneading and shaping, one cannot possibly knead out an "evil god"!

Otherwise, Fuxi seeing it would probably want to beat someone……

It's just special times, special handling.

This time, Nüwa Guide dug a pit to bury people, the focus being secrecy; the Twelve Ancestral Witch teammates actually became her pieces to deceive the opponent……only thus could she bait the big fish.

Sacrificing the expression of supreme combat power, she gained the opponent's entrapment, and a gratifying……slaughter!

Nüwa has already reached the utmost.

But just as she said.

There are too many big fish in the net.

But she herself is merely an incarnation.

Even with buffs stacked to the sky, plus the Son of Heaven's qi fortune boosting, plus the Pangu bloodline technique, combat power soaring… but the foundation is there, so one cannot speak of absolute control of the battlefield; it's hard to seal or even capture alive, only able to strike a killing blow!

Under the luxurious formation gathered by Taiyi encircling attack, after a bitter-flesh performance, he suddenly erupted, blade rose and fell, slaying dozens of demon gods, then killed Yao Marshal Feilian!

Then he transformed into light of transcendence, into radiance of ascension, using the utmost peak of Dao techniques, disrupting the laws of spacetime, jumping out from the Chaos battlefield that Taiyi had prepared, which turned out to be his own big pit!

This is also unavoidable.

Because, the True Sovereign has appeared!

At this moment, Fengxi is the legitimate Yandi, and the human race's qi fortune acknowledges him as such.

Before, one could still maneuver, handing the 'official seal' to Nüwa… but now the true master has appeared, Nüwa this Actor naturally can't continue acting, losing a boost of combat power, she must retreat—if they kept fighting, at best it would be a stalemate, and they couldn't massacre indiscriminately.

One must admit, Donghuang has two brushes… he nearly ruined Nüwa's plan—the people he brought 'are somewhat many'.

In expectation, Nüwa estimated that only two Yao Marshals would come to assist Donghuang.

The result was that Donghuang brought four Yao Marshals, plus a large number of demon gods… such numbers in a gang attack were truly excessive.

If the Flame Emperor truly relies on the Son of Heaven's status in the eyes of the gods to have Taiyi-level combat power, then he'd probably have to be killed over and over… dead, alive, alive, dead, repeatedly slain!

Insane!

Similarly, Nüwa's preparations also had a bit of 'extra'.

Thus.

Only the result matters.

Nüwa, her name will endure through the ages!

When that Chaos completely exploded, immeasurable divine radiance shot wildly, the blood‑battling Fire Master strongmen and Heavenly Court commanders fell out from within, countless blood and fire drifting away, all becoming the backdrop of her at this moment, highlighting Nüwa's uniqueness!

"Nüwa… Houtu!"

Donghuang wailed sorrowfully, shattering the chaotic spacetime barrier; the Dao tone echoed through eternity, carrying endless regret and sorrow.

Beside him lay a miserable corpse, exuding boundless terrifying aura, belonging to a top‑level great divine ability user.

It had a deer‑like body, covered in leopard‑like spots, and behind its body there was a snake‑like tail.

The power of wind flowed around it, sweeping across the world, the impermanence of myriad phenomena; pure and refined, it possessed a distinct sacred beauty and dignity.

Perhaps the only flaw is that this body lacks a head——

Exactly the one Nüwa is holding in her hand!

This is Yao Marshal Feilian.

It's just a pity that after countless years of arduous cultivation, today he capsized, all his efforts wasted, exiting the stage of the era, becoming a medal of merit in Nüwa's hand.

But the medals of merit Nüwa gained in this battle are not just his alone.

The Yao Marshal Gui Che originally had nine heads; in this battle one was cut off, and the power of Pangu's blood still flows on the severed neck, so it can be said that this head is almost permanently lost!

Yao Marshal Jimeng's eyes were dim, he coughed blood incessantly, his complexion ashen and withered.

Among the four great Yao Marshals, only Qin Yuan Yao Marshal fared slightly better; his injuries seemed minor, even better than Donghuang's.

Taiyi was also stained with blood.

He held the Chaos Bell in hand, plus the Slayer‑Witch Sword as aid; his equipment could be said to be fully loaded.

But this time, Nüwa didn't observe martial virtue, employing the 'call the parents' tactic on these equipment!

The Chaos Bell, facing Pangu's blood, performed poorly in this battle.

The Slayer‑Witch Sword, originally mighty and famed for specially slaying the Wu Clan… but facing the Wu Clan's root in Pangu's bloodline, and from the Dao perspective the ultimate of human splendor, it simply failed to slay witches and was instead… screwed.

Unless one masters the 'Kill Dad' divine ability, Nüwa's intentional‑unintentional scheming will blow their head apart!

Taiyi suddenly fell to a covert strike, and while shielding his subordinates in the front line, he suffered countless injuries in this battle… however, as a Taiyi Great Luo, his vitality is terrifyingly strong, and he wields supreme authority, creating something from nothing; many injuries were negated, so though his body is blood‑stained, he still retains peak combat power, his eyes blazing with blood‑colored light, firmly fixed on Nüwa's silhouette.

This time, the Demon Race suffered greatly.

The collapse of the plan to storm the reincarnation scheme.

The crushing defeat of the strategy to exterminate the Fire Masters.

The losses are huge, piercing the heart.

Just in the Fire Masters' territory alone, a Yao Marshal's top combat power was lost, and Nüwa dealt a killing blow, bullying the weak with strength, slaying dozens of ordinary demon gods, reversing the whole situation!

Because Nüwa abandoned her moral principles in this battle, outside this top‑tier battlefield the Fire Masters' human divine generals and the Heavenly Court's remaining demon‑god commanders subtly achieved a balance, barely qualifying as a fair fight.

Although, in the end they couldn't avoid all casualties.

But at least the cause of death wasn't the misery of being ganged up on.

Therefore, bearing the sin of bullying the weak, Nüwa alone carries it on her shoulders.

This is also Donghuang's anger.

"Houtu!"

"You bully the weak with strength, wielding a king's body to specially slaughter demon gods—don't you think you're being too oppressive?!"

Taiyi shouted in anger.

Compared to the shock of Nüwa and Fengxi swapping identities, Taiyi cared more about the life and death of his subordinates, and thus issued a condemnation.

"Hmm, you're not wrong."

Nüwa frankly admitted, "Indeed, it is somewhat bullying."

"But… bullying is bullying, so be it!"

Nüwa spread her hands, very nonchalant and casual, "After all, you came to assassinate me… I don't think we still need to observe any martial virtue."

"Right?!"

"Houtu, you're ruthless!" Di Jun sighed faintly, "We were launching a sneak attack, but you were fishing."

For this day, you must have prepared for a long time, right!

Exchanging identities with the human sovereign…… Ha! This is my mistake!

The Heavenly Emperor sighed deeply, "Too long, too long…… So long that I underestimated the effect your true identity could have."

Otherwise, there wouldn't be today's tragedy.

I only regarded you as Houtu, but I didn't consider……

Di Jun's gaze shifted, fixing on a hall in the dim distance.

— Nüwa Emperor Palace!

Yes.

Because the identity of "Nüwa Emperor" was bound by the sacred throne…… and in the Heavenly Court, this identity also went into seclusion!

The sovereign of the Demon Race.

The creator of humanity.

This is the most special identity.

By now, Di Jun has seen through the key that allows Nüwa to exchange identities with the human sovereign and still deceive the Heavenly Court.

"Everyone thought, Fellow Daoist, your schemes aren't deep; once you plot, you might even harm allies…… but upon reflection, Fellow Daoist is merely great wisdom appearing foolish."

Di Jun sighed, "Furthermore, you can remain indifferent to personal honor and disgrace, ignore gains and losses of face, and bow your head low."

"Now thinking about it, the appearance of that 'girl,' and her acknowledging Yandi as her father, was merely preparation for today's battle!"

"The girl's natural appearance carries the prestige of the fire master's heir."

"And she died strangely; to this day, the true culprit remains unknown."

"This must also be part of your plan, Fellow Daoist!"

"The girl has direct causality with the human sovereign, and was buried by Yandi with the highest honor…… Once a person dies, her fate ends, and no one pays attention anymore."

"But the causality remains unbroken, providing an opportunity to deceive Heaven and cross the sea."

"Thus, Yandi and the Primordial Witch successfully exchanged identities……"

"Fellow Daoist, your scheming and depth…… truly make me admire."

Di Jun let out a long breath, his expression complex and inscrutable.

He regarded some as major enemies, imagining various scenarios where they could scheme to inflict heavy damage upon him.

Among them were Fuxi, Hongjun, and the Dragon Ancestor…… but actually, there was no Nüwa.

However, today……

After this deduction, he suddenly realized…… he had fallen into the hands of that goddess who is both cared for and not cared for!

At this moment.

Not to mention him.

Even the other divinities…… how could they not be shocked, their thoughts stirring, beginning to view Nüwa with new eyes?

From Di Jun's description, they saw a terrifying empress.

Her schemes are deep, she disregards honor and disgrace, and she is decisive in killing……

To achieve her goal, she would not hesitate to scheme against the Heavenly Court's opponents, even arranging an incarnation to acknowledge Yandi as father!

Then, to reduce attention, she let the incarnation die…… dead people attract no attention.

But the causality has already been established.

Then, using the causality between Nüwa and humanity, the relationship between the girl and Yandi is secretly swapped.

Exactly!

Moreover, this involves two matters!

The Fengdu Great Emperor…… arranged such a talent, relinquishing the imperial title that originally belonged to Yandi, reasonably transferring it to the deceased girl, playing the role to perfection, forced by the Heavenly Court!

The Human Emperor Yandi…… arranged such talent, willingly cross‑dressing, solely to substitute for Houtu and carry out the plan!

Everything, everything, is for today, to make the Heavenly Court pay an incredibly heavy price!

What a terrifyingly gloomy empress of deep scheming!

For a moment, all the gods fell silent like cicadas in winter, daring not to speak loudly, lest they startle the goddess Nüwa.

One by one, their thoughts raced, reflecting on the past…… wondering if they had ever made a mistake somewhere, offending Nüwa.

Some day…… should we go to her door to apologize?

Even the Dragon Ancestor, Dragon Ancestor……

At this moment, he dare not even breathe loudly, nor dare to lift his head to look at Nüwa!

He now reflects deeply——in those past days, how could he dare to speak loudly to such a Nüwa? Who gave him the courage? This, there's no time to dodge, alright?
