Chapter 679

"Right! That's correct! It must be like this!"

Nüwa strenuously proved her own innocence——

The undercover agent isn't her!

Her small brain is also very clever; there's absolutely no way she could be suspected on the high ground of intelligence!

After thinking it over, the killing intent and anger in her heart all at once surged toward the Dragon Ancestor.

——It must be this sly dragon harming me!

As for this viewpoint, Nüwa can still produce the corresponding 'evidence'.

You see——

After many years of endurance, sleeping on firewood and tasting gall, bearing humiliation shouldering heavy burdens, after experiencing the East Splendor affair, the Dragon Ancestor fell into the abyss, becoming a pitiful figure sympathized by all gods, yet he endured it hard, accomplishing many great deeds without uttering a word, including secretly communicating with Hongjun, using reincarnation to restrict Houtu, and so on……

The most crucial part is that he stole the Great Dao of two supreme beings—the Way of Heaven and the Way of Law—fully integrating them; at this opportunity, it becomes like after the tiger in the mountain has been cleared away, a monkey that can call itself king and dominate!

What incredible scheming and profundity!!

Nüwa felt that even just the methods the old dragon is showing now are not much inferior to her elder brother's!

If that's the case…… why not overestimate a bit more?

In the past, when the Dragon Ancestor arrogantly sought to seize power from the Human Emperor, when Gonggong signed a betting agreement with Yandi, could it really be that he failed to see through that this was Nüwa's friendly cameo?

Dragon Ancestor Great Sage, what level does he actually stand at?

This is a big problem!

After Nüwa pondered deeply, she was startled and alarmed, believing that this road she had never before imagined was actually very possible!

'If that's really the case…… perhaps things aren't that simple after all, and there are even more terrifying undercurrents behind the scenes!'

'Cang... also has dealings with the elder brother; they have reached a secret conspiracy of cooperation!'

'It looks like they are mutually incompatible, political enemies who scheme against each other……'

'But is the actual situation really just like that?'

'Even Hongjun can have tacit understanding with Fuxi; clearly it's a stage for three people, but the weakest me doesn't deserve a name, merely a tool.'

'Back then, when the Dragon Ancestor gathered people to besiege Donghua…… could it really be that there's no greasy cat behind it?!'

Houtu stood in the Yellow Springs, the more she thought, the more startled she became, the more she thought, the more afraid she felt; cold sweat appeared on her forehead, her little fists clenched tightly, for a moment her mind was blank, not knowing where to throw a punch.

The whole world is against her!

Every step hides killing intent!

Starting from a completely new angle, in a daze Nüwa seemed to see a hidden line previously undetected, hidden too deeply, too deeply.

But upon careful examination, it turns out not to be without reason; Fuxi might truly have joined forces with the Dragon Ancestor, achieving an unspeakable deal—especially one involving Nüwa.

Fuxi arranged the Trumpet, made a journey as the Blue Emperor; during his tenure, the orthodox title of the human royal court was——Dragon Master!

And the reason the dragon clan could infiltrate humanity is precisely the opening Fuxi provided!

Take another look at the incident of the Donghua Emperor being besieged and killed…… Although the Dragon Ancestor suffered great hardship in this process, he was beaten down to the floor tiles of the Grand Ultimate.

But could this not be a reasonable means of transferring the Way of Law, allowing the Donghua Emperor to retreat in the eyes of the gods, thus causing this supreme Great Dao to lose attention, enabling the original 'culprit' to sneak through Chencang, and also causing many giants contending for Pangu to overlook the Dragon Ancestor's competitiveness, preparing for today's reversal?

Otherwise, if the Way of Law were stolen, could it really escape the perception of a Pangu-being, even a disabled Pangu, letting Fuxi remain silent all these years, oblivious?

Now, when the maps are exhausted and the daggers appear, it is an attempt to squeeze out the last remaining value, using Hongjun's absolute strength to crush and compel, reasonably extending his hand to grasp control over the interpretation of humanity's spirit……

Nüwa suddenly looked back, realizing that the ladder tournaments she's fought for years, the Pangu hegemony battles, this death match, that brawl…… perhaps she's been aiming at the wrong target all along.

The real big boss is obviously her older brother!

Among all the figures opposing Nüwa, behind them there is never a lack of Xihuang's presence.

This py ability is so strong that it forcibly wove a heavenly net and earthly trap, firmly ensnaring Nüwa within it!

This isn't bullying the honest Nüwa…… what else could it be?

Nüwa Nüwa flew into a rage!

But no matter how angry, Nüwa still has to calm herself, steady her mindset, force herself to stay composed, handle the problem, make a decision.

'Old brother, going around and around, with such deep scheming and such far-reaching layout, what exactly does he intend to plot?'

'Um……'

'Looking at the current situation, it should be about controlling humanity——he wants to steal my home!'

Houtu's eyes shone with wisdom.

'The twelve golden dragons evolved from the foundation of the ancestral Wu…… speaking of origins, they basically belong to us!'

'I am also the biggest shareholder of the Wu Clan; rounding off, this is mine!'

'Taking my things to trade, exchanging them from me for sovereignty over humanity's spirit, bound by the Dragon's spirit, thereafter taking the 'virtue' expounded therein as the guiding principle for all generations……'

'Just as little Fengxi said, this wave, this wave is a free ride!'

'If we also consider the deal between Cang and the older brother, who was the former leader of the Dragon Master?'

'It's the Blue Emperor!'

'Rounding off, doesn't the right to interpret humanity's spirit concept end up in the older brother's hands?'

'And I, Nüwa, can no longer be the sole authority among humanity!'

'This is a seizure of power!'

'Damn older brother, is he wanting to ambush me with one hand, seeking an opportunity to steal the victory fruits that should belong to me in the future?!'

Nüwa arrived at this conclusion.

Worldly affairs are marvelous.

Even if Nüwa's problem-solving process on this matter is wildly wrong, yet in the answer…… it unexpectedly comes close to being correct.

After a thousand calculations, ten thousand calculations, it's not as good as a lucky fluke.

——If this were a multiple-choice question.

Unfortunately, this is a big question of proving argumentation, steps, points…… very important!

Even if different routes lead to the same goal, but taking opposite‑direction steps in solving the problem will lead to a severe point deduction.

But there's nothing we can do about it, right?

This time, Nüwa's opponent is too strong and terrifying; it seems the human Dao and the August Emperor are colluding, a secret deal between the two great Pangu!

In terms of strength, Nüwa is still a hair's breadth away from this circle…… just that hair's breadth is like a heavenly moat hard to cross; it's hard to get direct evidence, only able to observe through a flower in the mist, relying on familiarity with her elder brother's behavior and tactics to instinctively judge—who exactly is covered in wolf fur!

Then, poison him to death, or vote him out!

At this moment, the Dragon Ancestor Great Sage, relying on extreme forbearance, unfathomable scheming, and also his tangled, vague relationship with Fuxi…… thus he was promoted to Nüwa's Iron Wolf List in her heart, deemed one of the most terrifying evil masterminds behind the scenes, one of the eighty‑one trials for Nüwa to secure the family throne, the second‑to‑last difficult stumbling block!

What?

And Fengxi?

Where is Fengxi? And what is his identity?

Naturally, he is just an ordinary, loyal and reliable 'villager'!

Little Fengxi, so honest and reliable, steadfastly defending Lady Nüwa, repeatedly reporting on major matters…… at a glance he's no scoundrel; what evil thoughts could he have?!

It's also impossible for him to be so 'stupid', so naively stupid, to directly reveal the truth to the aggrieved party's behind‑the‑scenes black hand, right?

Do you really think Lady Nüwa cannot distinguish truth from falsehood?

Moreover, this also contradicts the persona expected of someone who could collude with Fuxi—'in league with evil', 'joining forces for wickedness'—to jointly plot a scheme that ensnares all gods and calculates every peak powerhouse, right?

So……

'Jun!'

'Cang!!'

'Xi!!!'

'The needle doesn't prick…… you guys' needling is not prickly……'

Her fists clenched and unclenched repeatedly; Nüwa gritted her teeth nonstop, the little person in her heart drew circles and cursed; she secretly rejoiced that Lady Nüwa, a virtuous person, naturally bears a heavenly appearance, while those who harm others will be harmed in return; Hongjun's overly aggressive leap finally let her gradually understand the truth of the matter.

It's not too late to mend the pen after losing the sheep!

'You're all treating me like a monkey to play with, right?'

'Just wait and see!'

'Sooner or later you'll get what's coming to you!'

Nüwa muttered to herself, 'This time, you found a loophole to stage a coup against me…… but you won't be laughing in the end!'

'Dragon Ancestor, you're the key piece for the human Dao to enter the field and take effect, right?'

'Then one day, I will let him die——'

'When I wield the sword, I will slay the black dragon in the water and establish the cauldron to rule the world!'

Nüwa was very angry.

The consequences were very serious.

In hindsight, she discovered that over these years she had been repeatedly 'played with' amid applause, the high ground of her intellect repeatedly invaded; Nüwa was unusually furious!

If we don't sacrifice someone to heaven, how much face will we have left to be the big sister in this circle of top‑level powerhouses?

And how should the brothers and sisters on the road look at her?

This has already become a matter of personal dignity!

Having reached this point, what does it matter to go out and mix?

Isn't it just a 'face'?

Whoever makes her lose face before people, she will make them lose their lives before people!

Of course, saying it like that, differential treatment is unavoidable.

At least Fuxi is her brother; a stern lecture is the utmost.

Hongjun is the spirit of the Heavenly Dao; the stability of Honghuang ultimately cannot do without his hard work, and giving him a beating while blocking him in the Ziwei Palace is about the same.

As for the Dragon Ancestor…… Nüwa, looking at him from all sides, feels that Honghuang would not be much different with or without him; a momentary lapse, the world would not be destroyed.

It's him then!

One day, he will be hacked to death by random knives, as karmic retribution!

Nüwa was brewing an extremely terrifying killing intent.

'After killing him, I will let my little lackey take over seizing the Dragon's Great Dao, and take back the things those ruthless schemers stole from me!'

'The spirit of humanity, the spirit of the dragon…… after going around, in the end it must be explained by me, cutting off the root of the original dragon master!'

'Dragon god…… is it only the Dragon Ancestor?'

'I think, this little guy Ji, also just barely gets by…… I say she's capable, and she is!'

During the period when Nüwa pretended to be Yandi, Yinglong also ran errands for her, having merit and hardship; loving the house and thus the crow, the Nüwa sovereign still found her pleasing.

Although her background is not good, full of the subtleties of illegitimate children…… but the Nüwa sovereign is willing to step in; what's so hard about making her official?

'As for now……'

Nüwa's eyes deep and profound, 'Whether it's the human race or the Wu clan, they all lack a target to withstand Hongjun's killer move; for now, let you, Dragon Ancestor, run rampant for a while!'

'After the fact…… whatever you took from me, you must spit it out!'

Nüwa made up her mind.

She admits that, under the tacit understanding of Fuxi, Hongjun, and the Dragon Ancestor, the crafted Coup‑Killer's Trick is quite sharp.

Under the big picture, humanity needs to take responsibility; the transaction with the Dragon Ancestor is hard to refuse.

However, the Nüwa sovereign has built up her strength to this point; the breadth and width of her wings always give her room to maneuver, enabling her to cope with any variables.

She calmly makes a rough judgment, based on her understanding of her scheming elder brother; cooperating with the Dragon Ancestor, small profit is no problem, but large profit remains doubtful.

'If I'm not mistaken, Cang will indeed reap a bountiful harvest in this battle, gaining from both sides, but he may not have enough time to digest it…… if that's the case, then he can be put to use!'

Nüwa's eyes flashed with wisdom light as she communicated with Fengxi, getting him to agree to Dragon Ancestor's trade request; meanwhile, her divine sense spanned countless dimensions of time and space, lighting a ray of spiritual light.

"Tiānwú……giant fish-roc!"

""I am here!" the giant fish-roc Yao Marshal who was mutually restraining with the Zhulong Great Sage replied."

"He is indeed the true identity of the Tiānwú Ancestral Witch among the Wu Clan!"

"The Tiānwú Ancestral Witch, among the Wu Clan, is the Ancestral Witch of Wind."

"But his stake among humans, operated for many years, in fact he mostly active as a water deity."

"Combined, they are the two characters 'feng shui'!"

"And this is the foundation for the giant fish-roc Great Sage's attainment of the Dao!"

"Water nurtures the kun!"

"Wind bears the peng!"

"The giant kun roams the Northern Abyss, the great peng rides the wind and rises!"

"This is the giant fish-roc!"

"The Wu Clan's Twelve Ancestral Witches."

"Among them, the powerful beings standing at the Taiyi level are not five, but……six!"

"Time, space, earth, wood, wind, water!"

"Over the years, the giant fish-roc Great Sage happily fished, and the Tiānwú Ancestral Witch became the foremost paddler, never revealing his true appearance, just like the Zhurong Ancestral Witch, remaining very mysterious throughout the Wu Clan."

"Of course, this was arranged by Nüwa, so that it could be of great use someday, preventing the situation from getting out of control."

"Like before, Nüwa made an agreement with Dragon Ancestor to judge by merit……Is Nüwa worried?"

"Nüwa herself is not worried!"

"Because she can at any time make the Yao Marshal willingly 'surrender', thus gaining an extra 'head' innately!"

"A lone family and a solitary dragon—how could they be compared to it?"

"Even if Dragon Ancestor's sword were cut off, he killed Taiyi, and then slew a group of Yao Marshals, it would still be hard to win!"

"However, as the situation underwent drastic changes, suddenly the hidden hands behind Fuxi, Hongjun, Dragon Ancestor and others were discovered, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, prompting Nüwa to urgently activate this strongest hidden piece she had laid for many years."

"As early as the previous era, in the age when the Dragon and Phoenix ruled heaven and earth, the giant fish-roc had been mixed with Nüwa, being the top enforcer of Nüwa's faction!"

"I want you to do one thing……"

"Nüwa secretly sent a sound transmission to the giant fish-roc; after countless years of lurking undercover, it begins to be activated now."

"Dragon Ancestor is drifting away!"

"I want you to act as his obstacle, enlighten the great peng of the world, taking dragons as food, innately restraining them!"

"Subject——I obey the order!" the giant fish-roc responded solemnly, "I will exert my utmost effort, not shying away from myriad deaths!"

"No need to go that far, just do your best……" Nüwa's satisfied instruction: "Preserving oneself is paramount."

"But if you encounter danger, you may invite the Human Emperor's aid to avoid perilous passes……"

"Nüwa's voice faded away, gradually diminishing, cutting off communication."

"Her Ladyship's holy virtue!"

"The giant fish-roc Great Sage sighed, 'What a pity, what a pity……'"

"His eyelids drooped slightly, his eyes glimmered with rippling light, his divine sense undulated, as if there were another communication!"
