Chapter 665: with translation of chapter title

The great divine beings of the ten directions were terrified, now silent.

The high‑level members of the two violent factions, the Wu and Yao, need not be mentioned…… They looked at their teammates/opponents, overturning all previous fixed impressions they had built of Nüwa.

The carelessness once shown by Empress Nüwa now carries a different profundity, driving them to frantically brainstorm, racking their brains to ponder how much of this is an act, and who the act is meant to trap—most importantly, whether they have unknowingly fallen into the trap themselves.

Three Yao Marshals, fill the pit with your lives!

This price is already too great.

And besides these overt parties and stakeholders, there is also a faction of powerful beings secretly stirring trouble, who are equally uneasy.

In Kunlun Mountain, the Three Pure Ones stare at each other, especially Lingbao Tianzun—his two elder brothers jointly fix their gaze on him, so much so that he can hardly hold his teacup, his hand trembling, his figure appearing frail in the vast hall, evoking pity and sympathy.

"Little brother…… you……"

Yuanshi Tianzun fell into thought, as if wanting to say something yet as if having nothing to say, only able to sigh, "I feel…… that the illegal organization you once joined, the so-called Five Fortunes…… perhaps you should consider…… the matter of waiting and watching?"

"Empress Nüwa…… amazing!"

"Scheming and deep-minded, like his elder brother…… hiss!"

"The second August Emperor Haotian! Just thinking about it is terrifying!"

"Come, can we make it in time?" Lingbao Tianzun's face was grim, he let out a low whimper, feeling terrible, "I worry…… that we were ordered to plot the reincarnation scheme, and it's possible that Her Majesty Nüwa has already discovered it……"

"With such terrifying forbearance, she must have already blacklisted me, just waiting for a later settlement……"

"Now she openly reveals herself, indicating the time is ripe, no need to hide further……"

Lingbao Tianzun's face turned ashen, feeling as if a huge omen star of death was shining above his head.

Of course, although this was his speculation…… his guess turned out to be correct.

Nüwa arranged for the goddess daughter to die mysteriously, while secretly observing; indeed she hooked many big fish, clarifying the hostile or friendly stance of some external divine beings toward her, and knowing which ones harbor ill intentions.

Quite unfortunate.

The Three Pure Ones are listed.

Even if Nüwa doesn't know, those villains who wish to harm her are secretly doing wicked deeds…… having confirmed suspicion is enough!

When the day comes that she defeats all under heaven, exalts the throne, and takes the proper place of Pangu…… there will be opportunities to verify.

"Hiss…… you're right." Yuanshi Tianzun sucked in a cold breath, worried, "This is indeed a big problem!"

"But no matter what……" Yuanshi Tianzun gritted his teeth, "You should swiftly clear away the loose ends you need to cut…… remember that!"

"If one day Nüwa corners you, you must insist——you are innocent!"

"Brother's teachings are proper, you Lingbao are pure…… our Three Pure Ones sect has repeatedly earned the title of model sect for quality education cultivation over many yuan assemblies, and we will never accept Fuxi the Great Sage's arrangement to stab Nüwa Princess in the back."

"If there is, it must be a misunderstanding, being framed!"

"There are other great divine beings impersonating your Lingbao Tianzun image, deliberately infringing your portrait rights, stirring up a so-called Severing Fate Dao Master, trying to destroy the relationship between our Pangu-orthodox thought training institution and the Wu Clan fellows."

Yuanshi Tianzun spoke more fluently, advising Lingbao Tianzun on how to respond to Nüwa's possible investigation and interrogation.

A pair of brothers, at this moment colluded their testimonies, trying to eliminate hidden dangers.

"Would this be useful?" Lingbao Tianzun lowered his voice, as if fearing walls have ears, that some corner might have Nüwa's spies, "Just hearing this, one knows it's fake, right?"

"Whether true or false sometimes doesn't matter; what matters is an attitude." Yuanshi Tianzun muttered, "Back when August Emperor Fuxi governed the wilderness, the ancient heavenly court was full of talented youths, all 'divine geniuses,' each one lifting roofs off houses."

"Moreover, at that time subduing the dragon clan, that was the biggest opposition before unifying the world."

"Even so, did Emperor Fuxi have free rein to slaughter in all directions?"

"No!"

"As long as one sits in that position, it shows willingness to bear the responsibility of the elder of the wilderness, rather than being a tyrant."

"In other words, as long as we set the steps right, go with the wind, show a willingness to be driven…… afterward Nüwa won't be so narrow‑minded."

"Even we wall‑sitters cannot be tolerated, with such a narrow mind; now the powerful beings aligned with the demon race, who have a black history of opposing Nüwa, must consider how brutal the persecution could be, and must rise in resistance, never surrender."

"Conquering the world is hard, governing it harder…… if mishandled, ancient and modern times will be blaze everywhere, gods locked in endless death‑struggle, contrary to the original humane intent."

"Everyone thinks only of fighting and killing, persecuting this one, bullying that one; who still has the mind to develop, to build, to let the age continually advance?"

"That would only trap the wilderness world in a vicious cycle!"

Yuanshi Tianzun comforted Lingbao Tianzun, and also found solace for himself.

Problem…… probably not big!

A pair of brothers in adversity talked and plotted for their own future, anxiously trying to seize vitality, lest Nüwa arrange for them to wear small shoes—like brothers fighting each other, or disciples slaughtering one another…… and so on.

However, while their discussion burned hot, the Moral Tianzun remained calm and composed.

This thus made Yuanshi and Lingbao doubtful and curious, they probed, "Moral elder brother, you…… aren't worried?"

"At first I was a little worried." Moral Tianzun gave a slight nod, "Empress Nüwa has now laid her cards bare; the depth of her scheming makes even my scalp tingle."

"But after thinking, the one who should be most concerned about this matter ought to be Dao brother Fuxi!"

"If he isn't anxious, we have no need to get worked up."

"Furthermore……"

Moral Tianzun's eyes suddenly turned deep and hollow, "In my view, although Nüwa's methods are extraordinary and give her an edge, to say she has a sure victory…… is not necessarily so."

……

"I underestimated Nüwa; that is my mistake."

"But to say Nüwa is sure to win…… is still premature!"

Similar views to Moral Tianzun's echoed in Mount Sumeru.

Jieyin Gufo comforted the uneasy Zhunti Gufo, his face bearing a faint smile, as he said.

"Furthermore…… I'm not so easily settled."

Jieyin Gufo smiled while holding a flower, "I owe the human realm an immeasurable amount of karmic merit, and coincidentally I have the means to repay it."

"So then, does the human realm care about my life or death?"

"I am far from being Nüwa's match…… but I, I can definitely make Nüwa feel disgusted enough to be annoyed, just looking at her makes one vexed."

Owe the Human Dao one million; the Human Dao is your big boss.

Owe the Human Dao one hundred million; you are the big boss of the Human Dao.

Care about your death, care about your life; care about your cold, care about your warmth.

"So, the problem isn't big."

Jieyin ancient Buddha old deity kept saying, "As long as I come to apologize, attitude proper, handle human relations well, basically can have a safe outcome."

"Moreover... before the end, it's still unknown who the deer will die by."

"Nüwa little sister, capable of stealing heaven and replacing sun, concealing heaven and crossing sea, with such means can in one move trap and kill three Yao Marshals, wiping clean the previous not-so-smart, poor-at-scheming image."

"Well..."

"And Hongjun?"

"This Dao ancestor... dare you be sure he hasn't prepared a killing move?"

"Di Jun is trying to seize power and rise!"

"And Hongjun himself is also bound by oaths, trapped in the Zixiao Palace..."

"Why does he dare to do this?"

"What hidden cards does he have? Can we be sure we can suppress Di Jun, guaranteeing our own Pangu's victory fruits?"

"Perhaps we will soon witness it."

"But this time, the hidden card wasn't directed at Di Jun, but will fall on Nüwa."

Jieyin let out a long sigh, "Zhunti junior brother, open your eyes wide and go witness properly..."

In the lingering Zen chant, as Jieyin ancient Buddha's words fell, suddenly a killing intent appeared, as if a vision of the future, with endless blood color and a shocking upheaval!

"'Disaster!'"

"'My reputation has been ruined!'"

Nüwa stood tall in the void, looking down upon all gods, her face full of confident soaring, brows raised and spirits high... She cleared her name, the Nüdao rose up!

However, beneath her lonely-as-snow expression, she was not so calm.

She glanced at the expressions of some opponents or teammates, seeing their wary fear or shocked admiration; at first she didn't understand, but soon her clever little brain figured out what was going on.

——She Nüwa, over-imagined!

Yes, although many of the things happening here were directly or indirectly pushed by her... Nüwa admits she indeed intends to trap and kill the Yao Marshal.

But a large part of this process... she was also just going with the flow!

From start to finish, there wasn't much deliberate planning; it wasn't about pre-making a plan then executing it, but rather when the situation arose, she only then figured out 'how to do it' appropriately.

Like the tragic sacrifice of the Great Emperor of Fengdu... it's not that she was ruthless, letting a hero suffer such a miserable sacrifice, then staging it as a 'reasonable' transfer of the Yandi emperor title to fall upon the little girl—this was Qingjia's voluntary act!

Nüwa still felt sorry for the loss of such talent.

Also, the success of Houtu and Yandi's identity-swap plan mainly stems from Yandi Fengxi's 'deep love for his daughter', willing to sacrifice his own fortune just to help the little girl return against heaven.

It is precisely with this premise and this strengthened causality that Nüwa had a sudden inspiration, activating the Nüdao mode.

Furthermore...

She Nüwa has never been a figure who forces her subordinates; at this moment, in the eyes of all gods, she does not have such terrifying command over heroic subordinates, nor a demonic charisma that could make a peak Taiyi Daluo strongman willingly discard his morals and be indifferent to honor and disgrace, hiding as a woman for many years...

It is Fengxi's voluntary sacrifice!

Finally, finally...

Fengxi quietly attained the Dao of Taiyi, which is the root for Nüdao to have ideas and formulate plans!

After careful calculation...

For Nüdao, it is three parts human effort, seven parts coincidence!

With the all gods' current imagination, the causal relationship is completely reversed!

There is an art of language: using all the truth to mislead others into imagining a false truth.

At this moment, Nüwa's situation is exactly this.

Personal reputation severely damaged, making her actually want to shout a few times——

"'I am wronged!'"

"'Really not what you think!'"

"'Although things indeed developed this way, all true... but I also muddled my way to this point!'"

But she ultimately did not shout it out.

After all, whether others will believe it is one matter.

If they believe it...

Then her image... seems not to get any better?

Too damaging to dignity!

All the momentum gained from this battle will all go to waste.

Rather than that, it's better to muster courage, rely on this prestige, and with remaining bravery chase the desperate foes!

Nüwa, she has made up her mind.

Having tacitly accepted Di Jun's speculation and deduction, the resulting imagination that greatly damages the Heavenly Court's morale is precisely Nüwa's display of resourcefulness; all her past performances were endurance, and are now the groundwork for her sudden uprising.

Indeed, she is exactly such a fearsome deity!

Nüwa self-hypnotizes, temporarily accepting this entirely new persona, as a heroine among goddesses, with innate acting skills now fully online; at this moment she raises her brows, instantly her whole demeanor changes, a heroic overlord's aura rises, no longer her former gentleness and tranquility.

Female·Overbearing CEO·Nü!

"Di Jun, you're not bad."

Nüba Zong gave a light smile, a appearance of revealing true nature, extremely eye-catching, lights all shining on her, "With just a clue, one can see the whole situation, knowing my years of hidden patience and disguise."

She flicked her hand with domineering aura, and the head of the Flying Swift Yao Marshal flew off casually; a grand Yao Marshal, yet the great Nüwa Emperor never gave her a thought.

Interpretation: She flicked her hand with domineering aura, the head of the Flying Swift Yao Marshal just flew out casually, a dignified Yao Marshal, yet never placed in the heart of the great Nüwa Emperor.

Nüwa Emperor

Flying Swift Yao Marshal

Now translation: She flicked her hand with domineering aura, the head of the Flying Swift Yao Marshal flew out casually; a dignified Yao Marshal, yet never placed in the heart of the great Nüwa Emperor.

Make sure to keep meaning.

People only say, I have courage but no strategy.

I

They never even think to ask who my elder brother is. Her voice low, heavy with soul‑shaking demonic power, she said, 'With his cultivation, I have never been weak.'

I

Even until now, I have long surpassed the blue that outshines its indigo.

It's just that in ordinary times, there's no need to use one's brain.

The Nüwa Overlord's domineering aura soared to the heavens, her overbearing presence lofty, she looked down upon mountains and rivers, completely transforming her former image... but, with the tragic fates of the three Yao Marshals, her words gain great persuasive power.

Nüwa Overlord

Make sure to keep meaning.

Someone once laughed at me... saying I accidentally killed a comrade, angrily sending my brother's trumpet as a head? Hah!

Trumpet

Someone once mocked me... saying I mistakenly killed a teammate, angrily presenting my brother's trumpet as a head? Hah!

Trumpet

the head of my brother's trumpet

The Nüwa Overlord scoffed, 'I acted poorly then only because I knew Donghua was concealing his true identity, wanting to lurk by my side, and at a future critical moment sneak‑attack and backstab me to seize the victory's fruit.'

Donghua

Thus translation: "The Nüwa Overlord coldly snorted, 'I acted poorly then only because I knew Donghua was hiding his true identity, wanting to lurk by my side, and at a future critical moment sneak‑attack and backstab me to seize the victory's fruit.'"

Fuxi's skills, I have long seen through them!

The mishap in the realm of reincarnation, you forced me to unite the Dao with the netherworld... were you happy then?

But you little know, I deliberately let you succeed, in exchange for today's victory!

The Nüwa Overlord spouted nonsense.

In her view, this kind of inner conviction—something no one else besides her could clearly know—isn't it just something she casually made up?

And the effect was also very noticeable.

Instantly, Nüwa's image in the hearts of the myriad gods underwent an earth‑shaking change, incomparably fearsome and towering, her wisdom deep as the sea, unfathomable in its breadth.

The vast Honghuang, the ancient epoch—all shifts in circumstance have never escaped her control; they are merely a casual move, easily grasping the situation!

Before her, everyone is a younger brother!

Of course.

Nüwa thought others were unaware.

But...

Those in the know, indeed exist.

At that moment, Fengxi's gaze was very strange, his mindset also very complex.

"Mother...... truly you......"

You doing this makes even me lose confidence......
