Chapter 675

【3】

Named entities: Hongjun (a name? It's a term, likely a deity name. Not in glossary. Should we translate? It's a proper name of a figure (Hongjun). In Chinese myth, Hongjun is a primordial deity, often translated as "Hongjun". Since it's a person's name (deity), we should use pinyin: Hongjun. Not in glossary, so we add Hongjun.

【5】

Named entities: Dinosaur Army. "Dinosaur Army" is a coined term: "Dinosaur Army". Not a person name, so translate meaning: Dinosaur Army. Also he refers to someone (likely Di Jun? Actually earlier context: Emperor Jun? Not sure). But we only list named entities that appear. "Dinosaur Army" is a named group. We'll add Dinosaur Army.

【7】

Named entities: Heavenly Court already in glossary as "the Heavenly Court". Also Great Purge maybe "Great Purge"? It's a phrase, not a named entity? Could be considered a named event: "Great Purge". But it's not a proper noun; it's descriptive. The instruction: exclude generic forms of address, generic genre words. "Great Purge" maybe a term but not a proper name. I'd treat as not needed. However Heavenly Court is needed.

【9】

Named entities: Dao Ancestor (Dao Ancestor?) Actually "Dao Ancestor" means "Dao Ancestor" or "Founder of the Dao". It's a title. Not in glossary. Should we translate? It's a title, not a person name? It's a title for a deity. According to rules: cultivation realms, techniques, etc. "Dao Ancestor" is a title meaning "Dao Ancestor". Should translate to "Dao Ancestor". Not in glossary, so add Dao Ancestor.

【12】

「What a Dao Ancestor! 」

【14】

Emperor Jun staggered, his condition swiftly recovering.

【16】

When the Dao Ancestor made a move, it was indeed extraordinary; in an instant he took away all the brilliance, causing even the Azure Dragon Great Sage to stop transforming into the Starry Sky Demolition Squad, to stop dismantling the Zhou Tian Star Dipper Grand Array into chaos, switching to defense, focusing on self-preservation.

【18】

This gave him a breathing space, awaited the dawn of recovery, he immediately seized the damaged Zhou Tian Star Dipper Grand Array, stabilized its foundation, preventing his condition from further deteriorating, so that he would not be beaten to death here by Nüwa directly using Pangu's true form.

【20】

Therefore, he marveled at the Dao Ancestor's method—even though this method was actually vicious, it left him unknowingly staying for so many years on a powder keg that would explode with earth-shattering force.

【22】

Looking back afterward, the Heavenly Emperor also felt his heart tremble.

【24】

What does it mean that the ignorant are fearless?

No named entities.

【28】

No.

If I had known early that Hongjun's things were not to be taken, I wouldn't have been greedy back then!

【30】

There wasn't even time to dodge!

No.

【33】

Named entities: Heavenly Emperor, Dao Ancestor.

【35】

Named entities: Witch-Demon War -> "Witch-Demon War"? Actually Lich Great Tribulation is Lich Great Tribulation. Witch-Demon War is "Witch-Demon War". Not in glossary but we can translate: Witch-Demon War. Also Heaven's Justice Descends is a named technique: "Heaven's Justice Descends"? Actually "Heaven Descends Justice" literal: "Heaven Descends Justice". We'll translate as "Heaven's Justice Descends" or "Heavenly Justice Descends". Since it's a technique name, translate meaning: "Heaven's Justice Descends". Not in glossary.

【37】

Named entity: Absolute Kill (glossary). Also situation maybe "situation". We'll list Absolute Kill.

【39】

Named entities: Xihuang (glossary), Houtu (glossary), All-Heaven Divine Slaughter Grand Formation, Dao Ancestor. Also Male and Female Double Fiends is descriptive, not a named entity.

【41】

Named entity: Lich Great Tribulation (glossary).

【43】

Named entity: Heaven's Justice Descends again.

【46】

No.

Referring to the Primordial Crisis Response Act, the Way of Heaven will take over the entire world to cope with the crisis.

【48】

Turning everything upside down and starting anew, the gods die as they should, the wounded remain wounded, those who sever heaven and earth are cut off, only the Dao Ancestor remains alone!

【50】

Hongjun just won!

【52】

This method is very simple……it is a simplicity of pure violence, but we have to admit it's very effective.

No.

【56】

No.

Emperor Jun perceived it.

【58】

Nüwa also saw through it.

【60】

「Hongjun's this method can deceive everyone in the world, but can it deceive……the Pangu outside the world? 」

【62】

「In this world, the one with the highest Dao cultivation realm……is Xihuang! 」 the Heavenly Emperor sighed lightly.

【64】

「Back then, the three powers contended……Xihuang, Houtu, Dao Ancestor. 」

【66】

「When the Dao Ancestor was tampering, Xihuang just watched helplessly; how could he hide it from him? 」

【68】

「But afterward he said nothing, did nothing, and let things take their course. 」

No new.

【72】

No.

Emperor Jun fell silent upon saying this.

【74】

Nüwa likewise.

【76】

At this moment, they tacitly ceased hostilities and exchanged information to a limited extent.

No.

【80】

No.

Nüwa narrowed her eyes and muttered——this unexpectedly made Emperor Jun inexplicably feel a bit guilty.

【82】

——What a coincidence! He also made such a deal with Xihuang!

【84】

「The two peaks of top Dao cultivation and top authority in the present world joined forces……at that time they still appeared hostile on the surface! 」

No specific names.

【87】

Named entities: Nüwa Emperor -> likely "Nüwa Emperor"? Actually Nüwa Emperor is a title for Nüwa as emperor. Could be "Nüwa Emperor". Not in glossary. We need to translate meaning: "Nüwa Emperor". Also Pangu True Form -> Pangu True Form (already). Also clone true form -> clone true form. Not a named entity.

【90】

No.

Among the three people who fought that day, it appeared that she and Fuxi fought side by side, jointly resisting Hongjun.

【92】

But actually……

No.

【95】

Named entities: Fuxi, Hongjun, Nüwa.

【98】

No.

Isn't this bullying the honest?

No.

【102】

No.

At least save some face for Nüwa!

【104】

Just because Nüwa's cultivation and strength were the weakest at the time, does that mean we can openly deceive her?

【106】

Clearly it's a contest among three people, yet she, Nüwa, doesn't deserve a role and can only be a puppet?

【108】

Nüwa flew into a rage!

【110】

In addition to her great anger, she also forced herself to stay calm.

【112】

The shocking new discovery about the reversal of friend and foe relations made her feel that she needed to reassess Fuxi.

【114】

Clearly the situation was meant to break each other's heads, yet Fuxi made a deal with Hongjun, forming a strong alliance, successfully deceiving her……not only that, he deceived all the divine beings of the primordial world.

【116】

【Strong alliance, invincible……】

No.

【119】

Named entity: Nüwa.

【212】

No.

"In the future, I will attain the Dao of Pangu, go to strike the August Emperor... what strange things will I encounter?"

At this moment, Nüwa thought of many things; some of the plans she had originally devised underwent subtle changes.

To glimpse a leopard through a tube.

By observing a small matter to discern the context of the whole, and then making dynamic balance adjustments… that is Nüwa's true wisdom and strength!

Yes, Nüwa is not skilled at scheming and plotting, and cannot compare with her elder brother.

But…… she is not stupid!

After all, a true fool…… how could Fuxi be so eager to exploit her labor?

"If that's the case……"

Nüwa's heart sank, "Then I really need to make some preparations……"

"Thank you, Hongjun."

Wahuang suddenly spoke.

"Mm, thank you, Hongjun…… and the Dragon Ancestor."

Di Jun blinked, then immediately said.

Then……

Nüwa swooshed outward, wanting to crash into the origin's end of this heaven and earth, kill her way back to Honghuang, and turn the tide.

"Wahuang, where are you going?"

Di Jun, however, had long anticipated this and came pestering relentlessly.

"I'm going to uphold justice for you!" Nüwa threw a punch, Pangu's true form moving in sync, "Hongjun, you've screwed me over!"

"Thanks! No need!" Di Jun's palm evolved a starry sky, turning into a torrent that swept away the slaughter, "Considering he's beating up the Dragon Ancestor, I think I can still accept it!"

"Wahuang…… just stay here with me!"

……

When the Heavenly Court fell, it still locked onto its target.

The Dragon Ancestor had no way to retreat.

For the foundation of the dragon race, he had no room to retreat…… even if he knew he couldn't win, he still had to prop up this falling heaven!

This is his responsibility as the ancestor of the dragon race.

Only by leading his people to survive this "Heaven‑Crushing" blow could he possibly plan for the future…… otherwise, even if he had become a demolition genius capable of tearing down Buzhou, what would be the point?

All dragonkind on earth were absolutely killed here, erased from concept, losing the template, and what good is a "mortal‑to‑dragon" transformation?

Without giving the world's mortals a path to live, just to carry out a great flood and great extermination…… even if the Dragon Ancestor had ten lives, it wouldn't be enough for the wrathful mortal Dao's slaughter, killing him into eternal oblivion!

Indeed, the mortal Dao's overall integrity isn't high; they've pulled off legendary deeds like "raising a ruckus for filial piety," and they're easily fooled—able to be scammed by ancient gods and saints into pocketing small change——karmic merit, and the top achievers among them even have Jieyin opening the Buddhist gate, that's like writing bad checks, getting something for nothing, exploiting loopholes to overdraw countless years of credit to cash out……

But the precondition for all this to succeed is that it be built on not causing too obvious direct harm to the mortal Dao's worldly beings!

Unbeknownst to them, life had grown harder, inflation had even pushed up meat prices…… but they could still barely tolerate it.

But if there's no way to live, tomorrow they'll surely die……

At that moment, the mortals united, the mortal Dao upper and lower became one, and they let the culprit behind all this go to die!

Die unto eternal ruin!

And still have to step on ten thousand feet!

Thinking of that horrifying future, the Dragon Ancestor Great Sage suddenly slammed the brakes in secret, no longer thinking of blasting Buzhou, and let the Heavenly River burst its banks.

Originally, seeing no one to stop them, it was just a one‑wave push of the crystal rhythm, smashing the Heavenly Court's headquarters, directly turning the demon race into blood bags for the dragon race, then a great flood.

But now, at the brink of success, someone really made a move, and it's still a "cut‑to‑the‑root" rhythm!

"Hongjun!"

The Dragon Ancestor's eye sockets were about to burst, he glared with dragon eyes, "You dare not destroy the path I rely on—Pangu's way!"

"Forcing me to this point, then I'll come measure your abilities!"

His true form burned, facing the seemingly slow but actually swift collapse, like a falling star, of the Heavenly Court's burden—the heavenly realm, wherein a blurry silhouette reigns supreme, a phantom jade disc imprint seals the fate, causality, destiny, etc., of the dragon race's most profound foundations, carrying out the most terrifying dimensional absolute kill!

As it swept across the starry sky, it crushed every ant daring to block the way—even if the great shaman were merely a big mantis, dying horribly under the wheel of fate, hard to picture—when it strikes the lands of Honghuang, how many dragon spirits will it erase!

This is the blow whereby the ancient Dao Ancestor reached the pinnacle of perfection!

Having survived to the present, having absorbed the Heavenly Court's eons of nurturing, having undergone the demon race's karmic cleansing, it remains at the peak, even faintly stronger!

"When dragons battle in the wild, their blood is Xuanhuang!"

The Dragon Ancestor Great Sage's whole body was suffused with blood light; he actively bled and sacrificed, communicating with countless enlightened dinosaur kin, then using them as a foundation to mobilize the mortal Dao's power from the depths.

At the juncture of life and death, these dragonkind were also united enough…… all of one heart, coalescing into one, bolstering the Dragon Ancestor's person, at this moment his Dragon Dao instantly became longer, wider, and stronger!

In a dazed moment, it seemed they were about to surpass some limit, reach the pinnacle of perfection, and lead the myriad gods!

"All of one heart, man conquers heaven!"

The Dragon Ancestor roared, igniting his own blood, igniting his own bones, turning into the most brilliant light that filled the cosmos' mountains and rivers, making the sun and moon pale in comparison, unable to contend with its radiance.

For it was mingled with the mortal Dao's resolve to fight to the death, the determination to break through countless difficulties, faintly evoking the ancient Pangu's conquest of Chaos, it was the gods and mortals of one heart, the holy undying despite a hundred deaths, the mortals' myriad generations offering sacrifice, until seizing the victor's laurel and reaching the far shore of eternity!

As this light rose and rose to meet the falling heavens, that unstoppable ferocity left everyone stunned into silence.

"Too brilliant."

Thus line: "Di Jiang Zu Wu spoke softly, his eyes holding praise, "Although I still don't find him pleasing to the eye, just for this spirit he deserves applause."

As the words fell, he did something unexpected——

A clear radiance welled up from his body, crossing time and space, arriving ahead of schedule, bolstering the light the Dragon Ancestor had transformed into…… this is the light of the Taiyi level, the support of his very self.

Even facing the Dao Ancestor's peak strike of old—him holding the Jade Disc of Creation, backed by the Heavenly Dao's Divine Wheel, a pretentious pose—whether the Pangu true form forged from the Zhou Tian Gods‑Slaughter Grand Array could win is still unknown; a mere "ordinary" Taiyi's strength really can't be counted as a weight that could tip the balance.

But this represents an attitude…… one that, in others' eyes, is "approval."

The Wu Clan up and down, at this moment united, aid the Dragon Ancestor in overcoming the crisis!

His action was like a signal, triggering too many changes.

Exactly the same

Jumang Zu Wu no longer chatted with Xihuang, held back, "Dragon and Phoenix are indeed mortal enemies, but facing Hongjun, I can temporarily yield one or two, proceed with cooperation…… just like in the past."

Count me in!

The progenitor of the Phoenix lineage also joined the battle!

Although it was only a supply of power, not serving as cannon fodder to resist the lightning…… it could still be considered doing one's utmost.

Two Grand Simplicity experts directly assisted, helping at the life-or-death juncture of the dragon clan; matters have come to this, how could the remaining ancestor witches still sit by and wait?

Following closely, in the shortest time, streams of spiritual light surged, coming from top-tier mighty ones with great supernatural powers, even up to supreme giants of the Grand Simplicity level!

This is a rare unity among the high-ranking Wu Clan, encircling the Dragon Ancestor, led by Thus line: "Di Jiang Zu Wu.

Thank you! Thank you!

The Dragon Ancestor, with the hardest head and no way to escape, could only grit his teeth and endure; at this moment, he was moved!

In this era, he felt collective warmth for the first time in history—at critical moments, teammates are still trustworthy!

For the Thus line: "Di Jiang Zu Wu who took the lead in support, the Dragon Ancestor thanked him repeatedly…… that is, their strength is extraordinary, allowing them to chat a few words even at the critical juncture of heaven's collapse.

"No need to thank me……" Thus line: "Di Jiang Zu Wu transmitted with a light smile, "I'm merely looking after everyone's image, establishing a good persona for each, in hopes of the future."

When great calamity looms, each flies off on their own…… how can that work?

The great calamity isn't just about fighting and killing; there's also human relations and worldly affairs!

After all, the great calamity isn't just a one-time event…… being too extreme in conduct may bring temporary gain but endless future troubles, which I do not approve!

Listening to Thus line: "Di Jiang Zu Wu's words, the Dragon Ancestor always felt something was off, as if he were being disparaged…… but after thinking, he set aside that notion—after all, Thus line: "Di Jiang Zu Wu is the good brother who led the assistance; what ill intentions could he have?

Even so, I still need to thank you…… adding flowers to brocade is easy, giving charcoal in the snow is hard!

The Dragon Ancestor sighed, then became resolute: 'I——I'm going!'

Go…… go!" Thus line: "Di Jiang Zu Wu smiled encouragingly, "You've been enhanced to the utmost…… believe in yourself, you will surely succeed!"

After the greatest encouragement, the expert who mastered the source of space cut off the communication channel, and also cut off the unfinished content, so it didn't reach the Dragon Ancestor's ears.

With such a strong enhancement, it shouldn't crash so quickly, right?

Organizationally, they still have high hopes for you!

If we kneel here, how can that work?

Several fellow Daoists have already been appointed; you are to become the 'temporary worker' for that great undertaking!

A hint of a smile curled at Thus line: "Di Jiang Zu Wu's lips, making the clearly observing Báizé suddenly feel a chill over his body.

That smile…… concealed too much terror!

Clearly, at this moment, heaven and earth are so splendid and radiant!

The destructive light of the Heavenly Court's fall and the heavenly realm's destruction.

The radiance of the human Dao from the Dragon Ancestor's evolution of unity and humanity conquering heaven.

This achieves a world of light!

Yet it made Báizé feel immense darkness at this moment.
