Chapter 683: with translation of chapter title

What an era!

Báizé said leisurely, "This is truly a grand move."

Marvelous! It's utterly marvelous!

Mr. Bai clapped "pa-pa", a cold smile curling his lips, "Flipping the table—what a move!"

This era, deep-rooted and hard to reverse, the common people suffer greatly, corpses pile up like mountains and seas.

It's just that Human Dao itself has problems, lacking intelligence, being a complete idiot, utterly unaware of anything wrong, only feeling it's reasonable.

Báizé criticized the situation.

Di Jiang blinked, blinked again, pondered slightly, feeling that they were supposed to share weal and woe, share blessings and hardships… So he took a screenshot recording and secretly sent it to the conscience of Human Dao.

—You wouldn't have guessed it, would you? Even Human Dao can become a spirit!

Far beyond this still spacetime, Fengxi's face instantly darkened.

However he didn't say anything; at most he made up his mind in his heart, waiting for when he had free time, he would definitely stage a "chance encounter" to kindly inquire of Mr. Hougang whether he had any opinions about the leadership.

If you have opinions, just speak up!

Badmouthing behind someone's back—what kind of ability is that?

Do you think I, this Human Dao spirit, am the type who smiles on the surface but secretly strikes back vengefully?

Or do you think your suggestions won't be adopted, with surveillance watching the mailbox from afar, and the moment you turn around it lands in the defendant's hands, then in the dead of night they beat you with a club?

Báizé is divine; this mindset lacks enough awareness!

Without a bit of fearless sacrificial spirit, without the resolve to face death and fight to the end, how can one be a good historian?

The Human Emperor remained silent, not creating opposition now, for the primary task is to settle the Dao Ancestor's lingering issue, as well as the network link between the Dragon Ancestor and Human Dao; we must secretly apply eye drops, covertly "coincidentally" exposing the Dragon Ancestor's furtive act of burying "explosives" in the Heavenly River, to act as a matchmaker between Hongjun and the Dragon Ancestor, laying a hidden plot.

However, Báizé noted the minor contradictions on himself!

Feng family people, Feng family spirit… As the current leader of the clan inherited from Fuxi and Nüwa, the chief Wind Lord, he can proudly say he has received the true teachings of the two predecessors.

The Human Emperor used a little notebook to record today's events, and decided to review it when free, to gain new insights from reviewing the old.

As a diary-writing conscience of Human Dao, clear on good and evil, learning from past mistakes… This is also quite reasonable!

Who could say he's settling old scores and making a list?

Step forward!

Fengxi took a deep look at where Di Jiang and Báizé stood, then slowly withdrew his gaze.

This made the keenly perceptive Báizé feel an inexplicable chill in his heart, sensing that something big was amiss.

However, Mr. Bai thought it over, merely let out a bitter sigh in his heart, and did not pursue it further.

He must first get through this immediate obstacle before he can talk about anything else!

If he can't get past this obstacle, there's no point talking about the future.

Thinking of the deadly trap set by an old friend who meddles in human affairs, Báizé suddenly found it hard to breathe, as if headed for the emergency room.

"Human Dao is sick, the illness unclear, the mind muddled."

"But it's not hopeless; perhaps we can break free from the current era's strange cycle…"

"I could have endured darkness… if I had never seen light!"

"Therefore, showing Human Dao an era bright enough outweighs the Dragon Ancestor's notion of 'luring' Human Dao… thus the Dragon Ancestor's present invincibility is self-defeating."

"I never expected…" Báizé suddenly raised his eyebrows, "After all these twists and turns, it's actually a replay of the past!"

"Back then, it was Fuxi's Yi Dao that overwhelmed the Azure Dragon's Dao, causing a generation's hegemon to die harboring hatred!"

"Nowadays, old events repeat, still retaining that flavor!"

"Tsk tsk… just how great is Fuxi's grudge against the Azure?"

"But upon reflection it's understandable… this hatred is justified."

Báizé smiled faintly, "After all, seven or eight parts of Nüwa were corrupted by the Azure."

"When people talk about enjoyment, they mostly take the Dragon Clan as the leader!"

"Back then, the Dragon Court ruled the four seas, and commanded countless water tribes, all labor, incredibly mighty!"

"Countless dragon descendants enjoyed endless pleasure, all kinds of rare delicacies, various pearls and jade… enviable."

"In the end, the Dragon Palace lineage's power, having culminated, enacted the Dao, and even achieved the 'Divine Dao'… the so-called gods emphasize ceremony, hold authority, are the lords of heaven and earth, the leaders of the myriad peoples, the great unity of Human Dao, and also the great feudalism of heaven and earth."

"Nüwa then, as second-in-command, was invited by the Azure to join, ear and eye immersed, she went deep down this path… that Fuxi could find it pleasing is strange!"

"After all, the Phoenix lineage focuses on nirvana rebirth, indestructible information, the spiritual realm transcending the material, thus giving rise to the most ancient 'Immortal Dao'; what is sought and proven is the holiness of Human Dao's myriad peoples' spirits, to lead and transcend."

"A pair of siblings, due to their vastly different wonderful journeys in life, have formed their own worldviews—the elder brother thinks the younger sister is too money-obsessed, too lazy, while the younger sister thinks the elder brother is a miser, demanding too much…"

"This contradiction thus began to surface…"

"Although beating his own sister, Fuxi is still reluctant… but for the Azure who corrupted Nüwa, for this instigator, the August Emperor would chase him into the ground, hating him to the bone—quite normal."

"Moreover, back then there's a saying that the Azure fellow was still quite fierce… if not for his scheming being slightly inferior, and at that time the Dao Ancestor and Devil Ancestor ran rampant, the situation was most chaotic, increasing the demand for scheming ability, the Azure would not have fallen so quickly, thus causing him to stake his very life."

"This is a formidable opponent worth wary of."

Báizé summed up.

"Ha!" Di Jiang chuckled, "What you say isn't entirely right… Fuxi hates the Azure for corrupting Nüwa, thus bears a grudge—that's fine; but to say he acts out of fear, using any means to suppress… that's unnecessary."

"Just because of that mouth of the Azure… leave him be awhile and he'll have the whole world against him!"

"Moreover, sometimes his eyes are blind… such a big mole, having mingled nearby, still oblivious, resulting in the final victory being stolen… tsk, one doesn't know what to say about him."

"Like now… really thinking that with Human Dao's help he'd be invincible under heaven?"

"Human Dao… hah!"

Di Jiang kept some words to himself, not speaking them out.

"It's hard to say which side Human Dao is on, but certainly not his side!"

Before, the confidant was an undercover agent.

Now, there's a problem with the leadership!

I don't know if, after Cang's affairs resume, he'll end up spitting several mouthfuls of blood, his mindset exploding?

——You think the Human Dao came to help you, this old dragon?

——Wrong!

——The Human Dao wants you to cooperate in the performance!

——Although it's a stage for three people, you cannot leave your name behind.

——Human Dao, Fuxi, and Dragon Ancestor, the three of them indeed support this script, but you, Dragon Ancestor…… are merely a tool person!

——It is precisely needing your 'invincibility' to make all other competitors voluntarily compromise, letting the History of Pangu and Chaos Bell unite, displaying supreme power, opening up an era, covering this age!

——This seems like Xihuang's petty grudge, a retaliatory strike, pulling at the legs of Dragon Ancestor and Pangu, but actually……

"The grandest stage will be completed today."

"For this, how many years have I schemed?!"

"Too many to count!"

"Only a true, complete era can support the full establishment of the Five Directions Heavenly Emperors, binding and anchoring them in this position."

"Not like now, where each can still hop left and right…… especially those two fellows."

"White Emperor! Black Emperor!"

"The re-unification of the front, the re-awakening of conscience, and ultimately the unity of all, letting Human Dao itself stand in Pangu's position, possessing its own clear self to govern Honghuang."

"Then…… reversing cause and effect, meddling with ancient and modern."

"I have done all the groundwork; the rest…… depends on whether Human Dao strives or not."

"If Human Dao strives enough, its illness will naturally heal."

Di Jiang's eyes depths were a expanse of tranquility and gentleness, like that of a most upright sage emperor.

"This era will, in the most wondrous way, simultaneously accomplish two Pangu."

"This surpasses common sense, yet only then can my means be revealed."

"Of course, I want to clarify——I have done all this complicated work, absolutely without ill intent…… what ill intent could I have?!"

"I would never think of giving Nüwa a boost to the Pangu position while also wanting people to join me in giving her a beating, letting her know——your brother is forever your brother!"

"I won't put on the airs of an elder, telling her——you can be the elder sister, but at most you can only be a second sister!"

"This is impossible…… I guarantee in the name of the August Emperor, it's absolutely impossible to be this depraved and smoky!"

Di Jiang reflected on himself, confirming his conscience was great and shining.

Just like the white lotus that rises from the mud unstained, it is a moral exemplar fit to be a model for the myriad beings.

"Having a brother like me is Nüwa's blessing!"

Di Jiang wistfully thought, "I hope she, after knowing, will be moved to tears of joy."

"In this way, my years of hard work are not in vain…… sigh, for the family throne, no, for my sister's growth, I have truly worried myself sick."

"Fighting away, from a disadvantaged position, laying plans to counterattack a Pangu of this era……"

Di Jiang, thinking of the scenes of these years walking along, suddenly felt fatigued, feeling more tired than his own Pangu.

It's really not easy.

Only by leveraging various forces did we barely have today's scene.

Xihuang insures and attracts customers; Heavenly Emperor Di Jun exchanges benefits.

Indulging Hunyuan to open the thirty-three heavens, planting the Killer's Trick.

Turning around, abandoning a pawn to vie for power, letting Donghua face death calmly, giving the Dragon Ancestor a chance to expand.

In order to prevent the situation from getting out of control, each also had precautions; relations with Human Dao warmed and reconciled, jointly cultivating a successor, able to bear the heavy task of overthrowing heaven with man; secretly, the Donghua Emperor feigned death, keeping an eye on the figures behind Faxun and Chonghua.

Everything done has paved the way for Human Dao!

As long as Human Dao strives, able to comprehend and inherit his thought, naturally it can lead the myriad beings to take charge, from then on changing the sun and moon, exchanging for a new heaven!

Of course, help is mutual……

Human Dao's conscience has awakened; should we help the elder brother, securing that family throne?

Looking back suddenly, Di Jiang chuckled inwardly.

"The process is arduous, but the outcome is beautiful…… it's not unacceptable either."

"He who laughs last is the winner!"

"My role ends here…… the rest depends on Human Dao's own actions."

"I can indeed leave you a new era, but you must ultimately become the strongest in that new era, seize the initiative…… afterward, when the era contracts and cause and effect invert, only then can you attain the peak realm, awaken all Human Dao, let the entire Honghuang serve you, becoming a Pangu!"

"This is the last buffer time I can secure for you!"

"Go boldly…… fly!"

Di Jiang lowered his eyelids; the reflection of his spirit became the strongest resonance, striking into the Human Emperor's heart, making him understand everything.

"In this relay race, I will continue on for you."

The Human Emperor merely spoke softly, making the firmest guarantee.

"Then that's good……"

The most ancient Heavenly Emperor, standing in the void, spoke softly, "Finally, you must pay attention…… to Hunyuan."

"He is your strongest opponent."

"The Jade Disc of Creation has shattered! I suspect he has seen through some of my layouts, perhaps he could go with the flow…… Although I oversee the Dao of Changes, having calculated all under heaven, I must not underestimate people."

"Alright, I understand." Fengxi raised his head, gazing toward the Purple Xiao Palace in the unseen, "With me here, no one can defy the will of the myriad beings!"

…

"Cang? Human Dao?"

Not bad, really not bad.

In the the the Zixiao Palace, the Dao Ancestor whose Heavenly Dao essence had been stolen had long since regained composure and calm.

The trump card prepared years ago activated; what should have been a massive slaughter was instead blocked and broken by the Human Dao, and even the Fortune Jade Disc just sent out was shattered, yet he showed no shock or anger.

Pretty fierce, pretty lively.

Even the Fortune Jade Disc was smashed!

The Dao Ancestor stroked the white hair at his temples, proof of nonstop 007 work, a helpless sorrow of premature aging, 'It's good that it's broken!'

After all, this thing… I've held it these years, and it's scorching hot.

Fortune Jade Disc… Fortune? Hah! Fortune!

In this world, who can write two 'fortunes'?

The circle is just that small; those who understand, understand… Nüwa's fundamental Dao is the Fortune Dao.

And this Fortune Jade Disc… hey!

What qualifies it to become the primal symbol of Honghuang heaven and earth, the core of the universe?

It's only because it is the transformation of the pinnacle Dao fruit that August Emperor had before becoming Pangu back then!

Only thus can it be the symbol of Honghuang.

Naming it with 'Fortune' as a prefix… after all, it's just indulging Nüwa.

Holding this thing in hand, I go to contend with the Black Manor siblings… am I stupid?

Hongjun lightly waved his duster, and at this moment he possessed a strange, charming aura, completely different from before!

Carrying a monitor on me, I've endured great hardship these years.

Wanting to break free, yet finding no suitable opportunity… but it's okay.

Cang is enough spirited.

The Human Dao… is also enough spirited.

Watching the Fortune Jade Disc shatter, I am truly sorrowful… tears in my eyes, a smile on my lips…

Ah!

I'm so heartbroken! I'm so upset!

In grief and anger, I might do something outrageous in the future… surely everyone can understand that?

The Dao Ancestor smiled, and then an unfathomable gray mist covered this ancient hall, obscuring everything.
