Chapter 681: Fate

The will of Human Dao, which had existed only as a vast, boundless consciousness, actually took form in this battle today!

Even if it was still vague, illusory like a bubble that would scatter at a breath of wind, yet in battle it was utterly unambiguous, riding true dragons, spanning Myriad Heavens through eternity—the wills of myriad beings past, present, future, the noble, mundane, lowly hearts of all beings, at this moment shone fully, becoming the greatest order and power in Honghuang heaven and earth!

The power of Human Dao, looking down on ancient and modern, is certainly not just empty talk——

It is truly the strongest of the present age!

Its condensed supreme principle is also expounded in the most ordinary and tiny places; it is the perfect enactment of "humans" remaking and conquering the world. The innate divinities of old followed this path, thereby defeating the ever‑changing Chaos and creating an eternal achievement—this shows a glimpse.

The most ancient Pangu and Human Dao's myriad beings mutually accomplished…… At the moment August Emperor reached the summit, Human Dao also stood at the peak, thereafter never retreating.

If not for the fact that when a person rises above ten thousand, their intelligence halves, and the innate predisposition to schizophrenia lets Human Dao succeed because of myriad beings or fail because of myriad beings—possessing supreme combat power yet lying paralyzed in bed all day, only able to rule passively… How could the ancient god sages each be so "outstanding"?

Already blacklisted!

However, mending the pen after losing the sheep is not too late.

Today, Human Dao has revived with vitality; in an era when the great calamity sweeps and myriad beings rise and fall, its surprisingly lively presence begins to coalesce a vague form in the eyes of the myriad gods, marking the crucial turning point where myriad beings take charge.

The myriad gods tremble, their courage fails.

Especially, upon feeling the earth‑shaking power it erupts, proving how formidable Human Dao is in combat… Even the most ancient, top‑tier divinities feel their scalps tingle, sensing an invincible force.

Even if it is the Dragon Ancestor Great Sage being ridden!

Or rather, his feeling is the clearest.

Do you really think… Dragon Ancestor has no temper?!

Originally, when Human Dao's will first took form, Dragon Ancestor was very displeased.

——Even if it's the will of Human Dao's myriad beings, can it just step on my Dragon Ancestor's body?!

——I am a hegemonic overlord of an era!

——You Human Dao act like this, don't I care about face?!

——What "fierce brows defying a thousand, humble as an ox for the children"… this isn't my style!

Dragon Ancestor was strengthened, his courage surged, he shook his body on the charging route, trying to throw it off.

However, when the will embodied by Human Dao stood on Dragon Ancestor's back and stamped twice, Dragon Ancestor Great Sage's mindset underwent a 180‑degree shift.

"I'm dying… I'm dying…"

The three hun seemed about to ascend to heaven, the seven po about to shatter; Human Dao's will seemed to sense Dragon Ancestor's arrogance, thus giving a frontal reply—its whole weight, as if the entire Honghuang world collapsed, pressed upon him, nearly causing Dragon Ancestor to burst on the spot, his five viscera and six bowels blowing outward.

In an instant, Dragon Ancestor realized, clearly comprehending Human Dao's dignity; this too is half of Pangu, following the rule that the greater the strength, the greater the antiquity……

——From now on, Human Dao is my elder brother; whoever offends the elder brother offends me, Dragon Ancestor!

——The elder brother stepping on my back, taking me to soar and slaughter wildly, that's my blessing—how could I have complaints?!

Dragon Ancestor temporarily endured, inwardly lamenting… Truly, fortune is against him; this era just can't get along with those two words, Pangu!

Earlier he fought Donghua, being violently beaten by a manifestation of Pangu's Dharma; now, because he was overly showy and proud, he received a small warning from Human Dao…

What the heck is all this?!

"Endure!"

Dragon Ancestor Great Sage silently reminded himself to suppress his inner agitation, stay humble and low‑key, meekly apologize to Human Dao, the elder brother, and absolutely not stubbornly resist to the end.

After all……

Mister Dragon Ancestor cannot withstand an investigation by Human Dao!

Having once contemplated becoming Honghuang's greatest apocalyptic terrorist, and having actually made preparations—surveying the Heavenly River, laying plans—one day he would shatter Buzhou, blast the Heavenly River, cause an unprecedented great flood, forcing myriad beings to change course and totally transform into dragons…

The one who did similar things back then is now, in the myriad gods' impression, being jointly imprisoned by eighty‑one top‑level great divine‑ability wielders!

Although the saying goes "he who steals a hook is executed, he who steals a state is made a marquis, he who steals the world is honored as Pangu"… but stealing the world must succeed, otherwise it's rotting in prison, death by a thousand cuts.

Now Dragon Ancestor, facing a Human Dao that is both joyful and angry, his mindset is quite empty—how dare he stubbornly cling to a dead duck's beak?

After all, not to mention his own various shenanigans, simply the fact that Human Dao once had a mental‑illness record—causing a ruckus in the hall, angrily defying August Emperor, acting like a super‑Tuba brat, with no one able to cure it—makes Dragon Ancestor very aware of the times.

Thus, at first opportunity, Dragon Ancestor admitted his attitude was wrong; he should maintain respect for Human Dao and acknowledgment of the status of Honghuang's myriad beings.

This seems to have satisfied Human Dao!

So there was no further digging into Dragon Ancestor's old scores—that was terror activity in the Heavenly River, stirring strife among races… It seems Human Dao, though now condensed into form, remains the familiar "250" style known to the myriad gods, making one's wit dull.

"Hah!"

Dragon Ancestor secretly exhaled a long breath, relieved to have escaped a calamity.

"Still that same flavor…"

"Though the intelligence is worrisome, worrisome as it is… but… really good at fighting!"

Dragon Ancestor Great Sage, being driven to charge upward against the sky, colliding with the falling Heavenly Court, had only this thought in mind.

Immense power, spanning eternity of time and space, gathered through Human Dao's will into Dragon Ancestor's body.

At such a moment, Dragon Ancestor truly felt the level belonging to Pangu, being lifted and flown by Human Dao; in an instant there was extinction, and also the most moving rebirth.

"Is… this Pangu's vision?"

"Watching the clouds and smoke of myriad ages, the green history is but a scroll; chatting and laughing, the brush falls, the Myriad Heavens change—all follow my heart, all arise from my intent… To open another Honghuang, or to overturn everything and rebuild, to remake heaven and earth, is also not impossible!"

"This is the greatest sublimation of the life level, the sweetest fruit after the Great Luo Dao Realm reaches its extreme……

Dragon Ancestor Great Sage underwent a great baptism, giving rise to this feeling——

"I am already invincible!"

After mastering such power, looking back, that seemingly invincible combination—the Jade Disc of Creation plus Heavenly Dao order—what else could it be?

"It's merely a quantitative change; how could it withstand a qualitative change?"

"Heavenly Dao, that's all!"

"I plus Human Dao, the two of us joining hands, are the strongest of heaven and earth!"

Dragon Ancestor sighed lightly, utterly unaware of himself as merely an "add‑on"; the true dragon's body galloped and danced, burning to the utmost brilliance, dancing with Human Dao, thus shattering the eternity of myriad ages' sky and smashing the eternity of the Myriad Heavens.

The Dao Ancestor's killing move stored over countless ages, the Creation Jade Disc hidden after discarding virtue… Even if it had been burned to the utmost, the Heavenly Dao borrowed vast power to carry out the act of suppressing and killing, yet all of it was borne by the Dragon Ancestor, and even turned it all back, reducing it to nothing!

Boom!

Blinding splendour burst forth, the Heavenly Court was in great collapse!

Fragments of time fluttered, each piece the foundation of the Thirty-Three Heavens, originally burning, being sacrificed, transformed into their true form—the Dao Ancestor's supreme carnage.

However, at this moment they were forcibly lifted by the Dragon Ancestor, the firelight extinguished, their form shattered, lifted into the river of ages, scattered into the boundary sea of the Myriad Heavens, worn away in the endless vast spacetime, becoming chance, becoming fortune, becoming secret realms—time burying everything!

I!

Invincible!

The Dragon Ancestor withstood the Dao Ancestor's carnage, shattering and dissolving most of the killing move; even his brave, world-shaking, peak dragon fist struck the Fortune Jade Disc with a single blow!

Crack!

A clear, pleasant yet inexplicably mournful cracking sound rang out—the Fortune Jade Disc was breaking, ugly cracks appearing; the delicate jade vessel obviously could not withstand such explosive destruction.

No matter how glorious its past, under today's Human Dao heavy punch strike, it is fragile!

Just this? Just this?

Hongjun, what other abilities do you have? Bring them all out!

The Dragon Ancestor laughed heartily, eyebrows raised, exhaling, not having lived in vain.

His true form shone, traversing eternity, slaying through myriad ages, almost sweeping away the Heavenly Court, destroying the foundation of the Demon Race.

If not...

Then I will gladly take the supreme position of this era!

Stubborn dragon dragon, harboring dreams, issued a world-shaking proclamation.

At this moment he stands atop the peak, possessing confidence to face any challenge.

What is the Grand Zhou Tian Star Dipper Formation?

What about Pangu's true form?

He and Human Dao joined forces, invincible in heaven and earth!

The Dragon Ancestor is confident.

Of course, this also made some people's looks subtle, their complexions strange.

Like the Human Emperor, little Fengxi felt an urge for a moment, wanting to withdraw the permit, and by the way inform the Dragon Ancestor—your cheat has expired, thanks for your cooperation.

As for the Dragon Ancestor without his cheat, how many bumps will be beaten onto his head… that's none of his business!

Besides that.

Di Jiang Zu Wu wore a face of 'sorrow', sighing and groaning incessantly before Báizé, 'It's over, it's over!'

The old dragon's momentum is already set; who can still stop him?

Right!

If he becomes Dao and Pangu, he won't carry out a great reckoning, will he?

Lots of people are going to be unlucky!

Báizé… I remember when you wrote the Honghuang Chronicles, when recording the events of the Dragon-Phoenix Great Calamity, you didn't spare the Spring and Autumn brush, giving an 'objective' critique of Cang, did you?

Di Jiang casually gave Báizé a violent blow, making this Historian's face turn green instantly.

Can this damn thing be blamed on me?

It's all because the new dynasty was established!

Your butt isn't even seated properly, yet you sing praises of virtue to your old rival Cang Dragon…… your publicity work is insufficient, you can't prove the Heavenly Court's orthodox righteousness, how can you settle hearts and develop production?

Naturally, some of the old dragon's achievements that should be blurred are blurred, gradually diluting the grudges between dragon and phoenix, lest the dragon side constantly be dissatisfied and frequently commit atrocities.

Báizé muttered, 'We didn't carry out a great massacre, exterminating the dragon race; we merely obscured some history to gain maximum cohesion, striving for the eternal endurance of Honghuang heaven and earth…… after the old dragon recovered and returned, we also didn't deliberately target…… this is not bad!'

Just fear the old dragon won't appreciate it!

Di Jiang pointed and said, 'Look, how pleased he is now!'

A casual strike for revenge, I think it's not impossible……

Would saying two fewer sarcastic remarks kill you? Báizé gritted his teeth from stimulation, yet seeing the Dragon Ancestor's invincible bearing, Human Dao's might added to him, almost completely breaking the Dao Ancestor's hidden trump card, to say he isn't guilty is a lie.

Alas… being a Historian, this is the downside!

We are all Great Luo, a spark of indestructible light, eternal through myriad ages.

Even if temporarily down-and-out, who knows, one day we might come back slaughtering to stand at the peak.

Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, do not bully the poor youth!

——The Dragon Ancestor appeared and expounded the doctrine, proving this principle.

Poor me, this Spring and Autumn annalist, some things I can't write, not writing also won't do……

I've fawned over this generation's winners, yet unknowingly offended the losers—damn it, if one day the losers turn over, my little days will be rough!

So I strive so hard to become Pangu, not wanting to miss any opportunity……

After all, if others don't become Pangu, at worst they just lie flat and be done…… I, even wanting to lie down can't!

Only after I become Pangu can I sit and watch the rise and fall of storms, lest one day I be implicated in a reckoning……

Báizé the Yao Marshal let out a long sigh.

No way…… I saw you, when you first charged to alter history, were quite happy, right? Di Jiang clicked his tongue, "Having eaten meat, you must consider the possibility of being beaten…… I reckon, with your wisdom, you surely didn't fail to consider this?"

Indeed it was considered…… but I never imagined there would be this day, forced to activate early. Báizé sighed, "Too early!"

Really too early!

Oh? You really do have tricks? Di Jiang showed surprise.

Just a little trick…… Báizé's gaze gradually deepened, looking at the Dragon Ancestor's heroic posture as he was about to ascend the peak, his eyes vicissitudinous and hollow, "I'm merely a pen-for-hire, why must I be dragged into the winners' and losers' squabbles, becoming cannon fodder?"

Is this heavenly principle?

If the losers truly had ability, wanting to raise their brows and breathe freely, they should go find the winners who have already become Pangu!

Beating one Pangu, and beating one Taiyi—how can you compare the difficulty? Persimmons are naturally picked soft! Di Jiang said quietly, leaving Báizé speechless.

After a long while, Mr. Bai finally said, "I do understand this reasoning."

So...

I wrote the History of Pangu.

The so-called History of Pangu is a book Bai Ze specially wrote to record the life of those who seek to prove the Dao through Pangu; inside, it truly contains the divine experiences of a supreme being, using what theory to guide them to defeat one strong enemy after another, from one victory to another, until becoming the supreme heavenly emperor, lord of all gods.

Currently, only one Pangu is active.

In order to write this book, Bai Ze pestered Fuxi for a long time, consulting many questions... At that time, Xihuang perhaps also had a change of heart, taking care of an old friend, and agreed.

And finally, he even signed it!

Throughout the process, Fuxi didn't take a single penny from Bai Ze, saying he did it for an old friend's sake.

Free!

Free!

Free!

Important matters need to be said three times.

Bai Ze rubbed the History of Pangu in his hand, gazing at the invincible divine might of the Dragon Ancestor, a flash of wisdom in his eyes, and a faint, bitter smile on his lips.

I don't know what he has figured out at this moment.

"In this world, there truly is no free lunch."

"Fuxi... you really have something."

"Back then, did you already see today coming?"

"Looking at your thick brows and big eyes, who would have thought your scheming depth remains the same... yet you still put on a white lotus act in front of me!"

Bai Ze muttered a curse, "I finally understand... how did this supreme treasure, the Chaos Bell, end up in Taiyi's hands?"

"I'm still wondering... when did Fuxi's relationship with Di Jun and Taiyi become so good?"

"The supreme treasure wasn't left to his own sister, yet it ended up in Taiyi's hands?"

"Inside, it even hides an imprint of primordial Chaos!"

"Now I finally understand!"

"Chaos gives birth to Pangu!"

"The Chaos Bell, the History of Pangu... this is to bypass human Dao suppression and reenact a peak power infinitely close to Pangu!"

"Every gift of fate has long had its price marked in the shadows..."

"A free lunch?"

"I scoff!"

Bai Ze spat in disdain, as if scorning someone's character from afar, "And this is still supposed to be old brothers, old friends!"

"I just wanted to buy some insurance... but you don't cover this, you don't cover that, and in the end you keep scheming against me, treating me as a pawn to do that dangerous work, or is it unpaid labor?!"

"In this sweltering heat, I'm shaking with anger, chilled to the heart... truly, under Pangu, all beings are just workers!"

"Damn!"

Bai Ze, the Yao Marshal, flew into a rage, momentarily losing restraint in his speech.

Fortunately, he still retained some calm... at least he had isolated this space-time, preventing this "critique" from spreading, with only Di Jiang accompanying him.

"Yes, yes!" Di Jiang said softly, "Fuxi really went too far this time... actually scheming to make you do something so dangerous."
