Chapter 672

translation

Di Jiang Zu Wu glanced at Yao Marshal Báizé, snorted, yet showed a bit of fearless backbone: "You, still guaranteeing for those people?"

You say that—do you even believe it yourself? Charging to rewrite history, Báizé god!

Since you're in the service industry, stop wondering how to erect iconic buildings!

Be honest, face your own heart… Look at me, I'm completely honest, never falsify.

Di Jiang held his head high and chest out, his integrity instantly maxed out.

Just as he said, he 'Di Jiang' is like a white lotus, unstained by the mire!

In this age of declining morals, among the Taiyi actors who are starting to break through the bottom line, he is a unique sight, the most outstanding contrarian.

For those who go with the flow and even repeatedly hit new lows, Di Jiang feels much contempt.

It's a pity—I'm alone, unable to turn the tide, only able to watch the building collapse and the gods fall… My solitary honesty and integrity cannot withstand the changing times and declining morals.

Di Jiang sighed, 'Whether human or ghost, everyone's just trying to show how low they can go.'

Before, Di Jun schemed, meddled in reincarnation, and secretly harmed the Human Emperor.

Back then I lamented, 'Good people are bullied, good horses are ridden, it's really hard for us Wu Clan to be good—there's always a villain who lacks martial virtue.'

Then immediately a bludgeon came, Nüwa and the Dragon Ancestor—these two, one better at acting, the other better at pretending…

One, to frame the Yao Marshal, didn't hesitate to sully his own reputation, feigning innocence and cuteness, enduring for years.

One, unscrupulous, not only bullied lonely elders in the palace and stole others' pensions, but also profited from the dead, consuming the deceased Eastern Heaven Dao friends.

Alas, alas!

In this vast world, where is justice? Where is heavenly principle?

With such reckless deeds, how could they not be recorded in bold strokes upon the annals of history?

Di Jiang let out a long sigh to hide his tears.

Gloop!

Old friend… if you want to die, that's your business—don't drag me into it!

Yao Marshal Báizé swallowed, then muttered to himself, unsure who he was speaking to.

I, Báizé, don't know that guy across from me; we have no familiarity, despite past encounters limited to normal work interactions…

All the unlawful remarks he made, I neither understand nor have I participated in any discussion; if needed, I can provide a written mental‑health certificate proving I have selective amnesia‑like forgetfulness.

I forever respect the Pangu Board, forever take the exalted virtue of all Pangu as a model to learn from… and I voluntarily record the divine sparks of Pangu, as an important reference for human growth.

……

Yao Marshal Báizé spoke fluently, guaranteeing the conduct of all Pangu.

——Who dares say that every Pangu bigwig is full of bad intentions?

——He, Báizé, is the first to disagree!

Mr. Báizé had once been foolish; this time he learned well, and when Di Jiang Zu Wu 'slandered' he immediately woke up and interrupted, also saying a few kind words to draw a line.

No way.

Although in his heart he agreed ten thousand times with what Di Jiang said—some Pangu truly aren't human!

But those people's fists are simply too big and hard!

To avoid collateral damage, petty people, when pulling Di Jiang's list, also dragged him along, with ample reason—

Di Jiang holds a grudge against us, yet you stand by without stopping… How come, do you also harbor some petty thoughts?

This is too unjust!

Báizé doesn't want to bring fire upon himself—at least before the Pangu.

After the Pangu, he can just go wild!

'Mmm… actually maybe not?'

Mr. Báizé's peripheral vision swept over the Dragon Ancestor Great Sage, and suddenly he was unsure again.

Become a Pangu… can he really go wild then?

He's too hard‑headed and has no filter… even if he becomes a Pangu, can he truly rest easy?

He's offended too many; maybe one day several Pangu will gang up and beat him into autism!

'The old dragon now usurps the Heavenly Dao and the Legal Dao, also deceives Nüwa of the Creation Dao and beats the Eastern Emperor of the Chaos Dao—indeed that looks very cool…'

'But afterward, when Hongjun, Fuxi, Nüwa and the other involved parties come calling, the old dragon might end up quite embarrassed!'

'As for the connection between Eastern Heaven and Fuxi, I won't even mention it…'

'Although Hongjun entered the palace, after all he is the Heavenly Dao intelligence, having endured countless hardships, he will one day attain the Dao of Pangu…'

'As for Nüwa, who controls life and death of the Human Dao and holds the reins of creation and reincarnation, she already has the Pangu ticket—if it weren't for her stubbornness, her insistence on opposing Fuxi and overturning family status, the difficulty wouldn't keep climbing…'

'These are the three Pangu!'

'Following this trend, the old dragon's heaven‑defying ability to draw hatred… one day we might suddenly find that those three have doubled, becoming six… six Pangu joining forces to beat him up isn't impossible at all!'

Báizé is not optimistic about the Dragon Ancestor's future.

Before he knew it, Mr. Báizé had 'figured out the truth'.

At this very moment, indeed several tough individuals have already begun to eye the Dragon Ancestor behind his back.

Of course, although the Dragon Ancestor may possibly have to undergo life and death in the ten directions and prove a singular absolute state…

But we must admit, at this moment the Dragon Ancestor is truly supreme above and below, his dragon fists rise and fall, all ages collapse together; even Taiyi facing him, even holding the Chaos Bell, can hardly withstand, only retreat, cannot resist!

Alone, he sweeps across the star sea; while the true form of Pangu and the Sovereign of the Heavens have departed, he is this version's god!

He raises his brows and exhales in this very morning!

Formerly, the Dragon Ancestor suffered grievances—stabbed in the back by a confidant, absolutely killed by the Demon Ancestor, smashed to the ground by Nüwa with money, beaten to a blank slate by the Pangu trumpet… all along the way, every hardship he endured has turned into the splendid foundation of this moment, the perfect prelude to rising after suppression.

At this moment, the Dragon Ancestor is truly handsome, truly stunning the world, possessing a divine charm that leaves people awestruck and convinced.

Dragon's stride, tiger's step, proud of antiquity, surpassing the present—Dragon Ancestor's Dragon Fist is peerless; once the fist is unleashed, it envelops the whole starry sky, and with Donghuang's whereabouts as the top priority, all shall be destroyed!

In an instant, the aura of primordial Chaos permeated, evolving all strange phenomena, encompassing every conceivable and inconceivable aberration of the Dao… but in the next moment, when the Dragon Fist struck down, all vanished, myriad Dao nonexistent!

Boom!

The Chaos Bell rang out with a harsh, mournful tone, as if bearing an unbearable pressure, unable to withstand the Dragon Fist that now shocked the world; it shuddered, flew backward, and struck Taiyi's body, causing the Eastern Emperor's face to turn pale, he staggered back, a trace of blood appearing at the corner of his mouth.

After relentless effort, the Dragon Ancestor succeeded in strengthening himself to the utmost of his life, standing at the pinnacle of his dragon life!

The Dao of Heaven, the Dao of Law, the Dao of Creation… these three Daos cultivated and contemplated by peerless experts were transformed into nourishment, or perhaps assistance, allowing the Dragon's Dao to nearly take on an unstoppable aspect.

When the Dragon Ancestor's fist blasted the Chaos Bell away, its force did not wane in the slightest; on the contrary, it grew even more fierce and domineering… it seemed that through this victory, the Dragon Ancestor Great Sage swept clean some past psychological shadow, becoming more confident and soaring, gaining an invincible spirit.

Once this spirit was formed, an unstoppable might arose instantly, and even divine power became invincible!

I come!

I see!

I conquer!

The Dragon Ancestor stood proudly in the starry sky, the ages vast yet unable to submerge him. When he spoke, his resounding Dao tone was like heavenly decree, like proclamation, like blessing, moreover a sublimation: the qi of the Myriad Heavens vibrated, all things resonated, heavenly might vast, sweeping past and present, eternal throughout endless time and space, leaving no corner without echo.

All dragons under heaven thus had their blood aroused, their combat power unmatched; many dragons thereby rose a realm level, slaughtering in all directions, preying on the demon hordes!

And this was merely a trivial branch of the Dragon Ancestor's peak dragon life.

Taiyi, you cannot withstand my!

Surrender now, lead the Heavenly Court to submit to me, and I will still spare you a way out, granting you due courtesy!

The Dragon Ancestor Great Sage's dragon eyes fixed upon the Eastern Emperor.

Heh!

Taiyi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his expression calm as an ancient well, seemingly unaffected in his mindset by the Dragon Ancestor's suppression—"Before, perhaps there was such a possibility."

What a pity!

When the dragons of the world begin to devour demons, between us it is destined that one dies and the other lives—only one can survive!

The Eastern Emperor's eyes suddenly blazed bright, possessing a power that awes heart and soul: 'As emperor, I must protect my clan; blood debt must be repaid in blood!'

'Laughable!' The Dragon Ancestor's Dragon Great Dao unfurled, growing ever more grand and magnificent: 'Before, the demon army observed no martial virtue, joining forces to hunt dragons, letting them battle in the wild, their blood dark yellow—how many dragon youths have died therein!'

"Back then you spoke no fairness; now you talk of karmic retribution?!"

'Hahaha!' Taiyi merely laughed loudly: 'What does the life or death of the dragon clan have to do with me?'

'I am merely the emperor of the demon race! Not the king of the dragon clan!'

'Sitting on the throne of the demon emperor, I know only one thing——'

'Indulging the demon race to run rampant and tyrannical!'

'As for fairness and retribution, they are all empty!'

'When the enemy attacks, killing is enough!'

'If you can't beat them, if you lose, if you die in battle… that's just being inferior in strength; death is deserved.'

'Cang, you underestimate the "demon" too much!'

'We believe in the survival of the fittest, from top to bottom all the same!'

'This is a wild path, pursuing freedom, pursuing no regret!'

'Only dead demons!'

'No surrendering demons!'

'Cang, do not also think to use such absurd words to disturb my mind!'

Taiyi's words rang out strong and powerful; even in the moment of suffering a huge blow and setback, he gradually shone forth with his own brilliance.

'Moreover, the outcome between us… remains unknown!'

'Obstinate and insensible.' The Dragon Ancestor sighed long: 'Since negotiations have failed, I grant you defeat!'

'Dragon! Nine Five! To the utmost of heaven and earth!'

The Dragon Ancestor Great Sage's aura shone brilliant, instantly filling the universe's eight extremes, the heavens and earth in all directions.

He wielded the utmost divine ability; that instant's bearing almost had the aspect of Pangu opening heaven and earth!

The Dragon's Great Dao clamored across the world; an ultimate, gorgeous, brilliant strike burst forth, overturning everything, letting the vast mountains and rivers fall into turmoil.

Boom—

Ding-dang-dang!

The fist wind and bell sound intertwined in turmoil; the ultimate attack flashed across the world, as a true dragon's phantom spanned past, present, and future, enveloping all directions up and down, indeed truly piercing the eternal starry sky, shattering a corner of the ancient star sea!

Moreover, something even more terrifying is still happening.

The Heavenly Stars Sea, inherited from the most ancient epoch, since the time of heaven's opening its birth was fixed——this actually represents a great trend, a great trend acknowledged by Pangu.

As the saying goes, the great trend does not change, the small trend can be altered.

As the Heavenly Stars Sea, being a great trend, ought to be constant and indestructible; even if destroyed, it would evolve and regenerate within the vast Honghuang order, becoming whole again.

Yet at this moment, such a great trend has been cut off, vetoed!

The order of heaven and earth was suppressed, even replaced… just as in the past, the Empress Nüwa stood at the source of Honghuang creation, using her own Dao to expound creation, thereby becoming the master of this Dao, the supreme sage of creation.

Likewise later, taking up the knife against reincarnation, grasping death, he became the true lord of reincarnation.

And now similarly, a similar operation appears; a new permit dog rises slowly!

The source of a star lodge was locked down, invaded, and even replaced.

It was not a single star of sufficient weight in the starry sky, but… a full seven!

It is——

The Azure Dragon Seven Mansions!

Perhaps long ago, when the Twenty-Eight Mansions had such a division and affiliation, among them seven mansions were designated by the term 'Azure Dragon,' which in fact already explained what it was.

Blue... is Azure!

As for the Great Luo, the most mysterious and wondrous method is——

Effect becomes cause!

The past is determined by the future; the future is buried in the past!

"Overthrow this entire starry sky!"

The Dragon Ancestor used his own Dragon's the Great Dao, shook open the blocking Donghuang, implanted his own the Great Dao into the foundation of the Celestial Stars Great Array, laughing wildly, the dazzling light illuminated eternity, transcending ages.

In the past, in the future, countless of him arise together, carrying out the act of overthrow!

"Fellow ancestor witches, heed my command!"

"Establish the four seasons, turn time and space, arrange all phenomena, break this reliance of the Heavenly Court!"

"I want to see, when that time comes... what else they have to be proud of!"

The Dragon Ancestor, wielding supreme divine might, commands his comrades to obey his orders, just as previously planned, taking him as the core, using the four seasons as the foundation, to destroy the foundation of the Celestial Stars Great Array!

Among them, the two ancestor witches of time and space separate light and darkness, space and time.

Also, with Rushou, Xuanming, Zhurong, Jumang, etc., they fix the four seasons.

With time and space separated, the four seasons established, the Dragon Clan then turns the three elemental Dao of heaven, earth, and water, thoroughly scattering the Dao of the Celestial Stars Great Array.

Finally, Shebi Shi leads the way, shatters the Star River, letting the Celestial Stars Great Array completely become dust of history!

Now, the Dragon Clan is ready; all work can begin!

"Charge up to Soaring Heavens, trample the Heavenly Court!"

The Dragon Ancestor roared loudly, "After this battle, I shall become the Supreme Heavenly Emperor!"

"Nüwa! Hongjun! I know you both look down on me!"

"But fortunes change; this time I have seized the opportunity, I will make you lose clearly, knowing that dragons cannot be insulted!"

"Kill!"

The Dragon Ancestor gave the order, and behold, in the mountains and rivers of Honghuang, a host of dragons rose, summoning wind and rain, commanding all waters, drenching the whole world!
