Chapter 691

The Dragon Ancestor Great Sage's boundless resentment and unwillingness.

Enduring all kinds of forbearance, scheming in countless ways, making myriad compromises… even becoming a 'lickdog', seeing the happy beautiful future already beckoning, the dawn of victory already shining, the bitter days will be endured, what remains is a joyful takeoff.

Knowing such a day, how long has the Dragon Ancestor waited?

It cannot be counted at all!

With great difficulty, by a fluke the prerequisite was achieved; the Dragon Ancestor Great Sage looked at the version update announcement, which for a certain time banned participation in the Pangu Madness Race targeting cheat‑users with 'anti‑addiction' measures… his eyes brimmed with tears of happiness.

——At the core battlefield where Human Dao and the August Emperor clash, while being wounded by the aftermath, some situations were also clearly seen.

Version update, eras overlapping……Nüwa this guy can't come back!

Nüwa can't come back!

Can't come back!

Important things can be said three times.

After all, this means that in the coming long period, a great mountain pressing on his head has been moved away!

The contract we once agreed upon can also be torn up——if you're not convinced, come chop me!

Can you chop it?

Pangu's true form is trapped at the origin of time, Houtu's true form bears the debt of reincarnation, leaving only a nominal righteous title that can command some ancestral witches.

Although…!

Among these ancestral witches, there is no lack of experts in the Great Ultimate, and they are also top‑tier combat power of the present age.

But what about him?

He, the Dragon Ancestor, just underwent a splendid sublimation, all the way cheating wildly, to the point he hardly recognizes himself——the Dragon King smirked, looking down on all heroes.

First he seized the essences of Heaven's Dao, Law's Dao, and Creation's Dao; then the foundations of the Twelve Ancestral Witches gathered in his body; next, with the human race entrusting its core, he gained the Human Dao's blessing……like a hazy dream, his actual power rose to the peak below Pangu.

Originally this 'peak' still had some moisture; rising too quickly, the gains might not be fully digested, causing loss, which needs to be made up by later cultivation over the long river of time.

Although this flaw, it was compensated in the collision of the two great Pangu of Honghuang and the August Emperor, revealing a higher-level world and helping to stabilize the Dao Fruit realm.

Nevertheless, he thus paid the price of being covered in wounds.

But this price, when exchanged for ordinary circumstances, is not unacceptable; on the contrary, it is a great gain.

What does it mean that the times create heroes?

The Dragon Ancestor's posture and tactics leaned back; he planned to casually slap out ten big coins afterward, letting the Historian write some wild history, emphasizing the heroic bearing of the Dragon Ancestor Great Sage from the original era, showing legendary flair.

I——am the Sun!

Unfortunately.

At the moment infinitely close to the Dragon's victory, the Dao Ancestor's relentless flying kick aimed to kick the Dragon Ancestor into the ranks of the defeated.

The Dragon Ancestor Great Sage, therefore unwilling, gathered his remaining strength, struggled desperately, and let out a roar from his mouth, an extreme hatred.

Kill!

But, anger is useless.

The shattering light of the Jade Disc of Creation was brilliant and dazzling yet tragically beautiful; a supreme treasure sent off to its funeral, cutting off the Dragon Ancestor's detour to overtake and straight path to victory.

That dazzling radiance was overly transcendent and special... It, as the primordial symbol of Honghuang, and also the transformation of the August Emperor Heavenly Emperor's Dao Fruit from years past, naturally resonated with those two Pangu, able in the dark to stir some of that level's mighty power.

For the Dragon Ancestor at this moment, this mighty power was lethal!

Hiss!

Like splitting bamboo, the Dragon Ancestor Great Sage's strongest dragon body was pierced, his vast and magnificent primal spirit was shattered, that single point of his innate spiritual light, hanging high beyond endless spacetime, illuminating countless Myriad Heavens, was firmly nailed by the Jade Disc of Creation to his very existence!

If it were the Dragon Ancestor in his prime, he would still have some room to struggle—after all, he had reached the pinnacle just below Pangu, so he at least retained some dignity.

However, now half-ruined, even if the Dragon Ancestor exhausted his efforts, transformed his Dao Fruit, concealed his origins, he could not escape the fate-like net, being bound within it, unable to break free.

Until one day.

When the source of power borrowed by the burning sacrifice of the Jade Disc of Creation dissipates, and the mighty power belonging to Pangu's essence vanishes, this net will then be undone.

In short.

This net was formed by cleverly borrowing the aftermath of this collision of the two great Pangu... The abstract expression of that aftermath is this version's update.

When this brand-new version ends, signifying the disappearance of the remnants of the two Pangu, this net will also be gone, and the Dragon Ancestor will regain freedom!

—Leaving the grand score of the world.

The Dragon Ancestor Great Sage, who could have dominated the new version, was tossed about like this and instantly fell to the same fate as the groups under Nüwa and Di Jun respectively.

However, the difference lies only in that Nüwa and Di Jun are blocked at the end of the origin of time, while the Dragon Ancestor is pressed beneath the new era, becoming a background that both exists and does not exist.

Even worse, it is even more miserable.

Hongjun sacrificed the Jade Disc of Creation, stirring Pangu's power... Essentially, it is equivalent to humanity itself stepping forward to 'suppress'; it's as if directly checking the Dragon Ancestor's household register, striking at the 'player' himself!

Nüwa and Di Jun merely had their accounts sealed!

In this... how much intentional, how much unintentional, can no longer be said clearly.

Humanity, it seems, was again 'used', committing a mistake that inadvertently hurt the 'simp'.

But how can this be blamed on 'Humanity'?

This Humanity child is just a bit mentally ill; what malicious intent could he have?!

If blame must be assigned, only the Dao Ancestor can be blamed—cruel and ruthless, decisive in killing, he exploited the 'pure and naive' Humanity, letting the 'young lord' accidentally injure the veterans of two dynasties and the entrusted loyal ministers.

The culprit is Hongjun!

The Dragon Ancestor also thinks so.

We cannot argue with a mentally ill person; thus we can only settle accounts with the mastermind who exploited this patient.

When he was crushed by the indescribable weight of the era, his very existence sinking, falling to the bottom of the Suiyue Changhe, he strained to widen his eyes, fiercely staring toward the direction of the Ziwei Palace in the void, his voice hoarse as he lowly shouted, shaking the hearts of the myriad gods, making everyone understand the extent of his hatred toward the Dao Ancestor.

Hong! Jun!

You're excellent!

I will definitely come back!

The era's wheels rolled over, crushing all; though the Dragon Ancestor was strong, he could not withstand the mighty trend driven by the two Pangus in perfect accord. Dare to resist head-on, first his tail was crushed, then his spinal bones shattered, his flesh and blood a blur, until finally only his dragon head remained, yet even that was to be ground to dust!

Even so, the Dragon Ancestor persisted, wanting to finish his words… Fortunately, he lived up to some comrades' evaluation of him as 'hard-headed'; even with only a head left, he still held on for a while.

You refuse to be beneath others, you want to become the supreme Heavenly Emperor above all beings, unchallengeable—is that not so!

Then you wait…

One day, even if I have to crawl, I will crawl out from the depths of the era and become your undying, relentless enemy on the road to emperorship!

The Dragon Ancestor's skull began to shatter, blood and water blurring his eyes, yet this only made his words more terrifying, that unshakable resolve.

This made the gods shudder, and they looked upon the Dragon Ancestor Great Sage's determination and tenacity with new respect.

Until the Dragon Ancestor could no longer bear the era's crushing pressure, the net of Pangu's power dragged him down, plunging him to the depths of the Suiyue Changhe, where his body recovered, yet he could only become a background figure in legend, unable to stir any waves for a time.

Only a pair of blood-red eyes stared fixedly at the surging waves of the era.

This gave ordinary Grand Luo Divine Sages immense psychological pressure, making it hard for them to sleep peacefully even in the middle of the night.

Of course.

The two Pangus who secretly pushed this matter behind the scenes, whose names are not convenient to reveal, are all heroic overlords, decisive in killing, and utterly indifferent to this.

Even the Dao Ancestor who directly caused the Dragon Ancestor to explode, the most direct perpetrator, why would he care about that threat?

Even lively, jumping dragons dare to be killed, let alone now that they have become mere ghosts of the era!

The whimper of a defeated dog…

In the illusory Purple Xiao Palace, such a soft voice was transmitted, echoing throughout the Honghuang heavens and earth, letting the ancient god great sage understand the Dao Ancestor's arrogant attitude, not taking the Dragon Ancestor's threat as anything.

If you provoke me again, I will simply suppress and kill you again!

Is my Heavenly Dao also something you dare to covet?

The Dao Ancestor said coldly, as if intentional; though it was a self-talk, it reverberated across the Suiyue Changhe, allowing those who could break free of time's bonds to hear it, making them tremble.

Killing a chicken to warn the monkeys—nothing more than this!

mere petty rabble dare to shout about carrying out Heaven's will, absurdly talking about overthrowing, slaughtering, and killing Heaven… utterly ridiculous!

Obviously.

The Dao Ancestor has long been dissatisfied with certain remarks!

These days, even the Heavenly Dao is no longer respected or feared!

Some youths who know neither heaven's height nor earth's depth—what has Heaven done to them yet!

They just shout out one after another… Unbeknownst to them, the number of ways Heaven can die has already reached thousands, even tens of thousands.

How absurd!

Simply put, today the Dao Ancestor hardened his resolve, acted decisively, sacrificed the Jade Disc of Creation to Heaven, and drove that iron-willed Dragon Ancestor half to death, establishing his own prestige.

One must be ruthless to stand firm.

Now the chief culprit has been executed; even the accomplices cannot be spared!

Dinosaurs do evil to heaven and earth, disturb the balance of the human way, cause chaos among the myriad beings; they deserve death!

The Dao Ancestor's judgment continues as before.

Although at this moment he is suppressed by the 'afflicted' human way.

But in fact, when the Dragon Ancestor, this supreme powerhouse who exerted himself explosively to protect the dragon clan, meets disaster, some procedures can continue onward, achieving the goal of establishing the Heavenly Dao's prestige.

——Don't forget, before this, it was……the Heavenly Court's downfall!

The Dragon Ancestor Great Sage, acting ferociously for a moment, indeed destroyed most of this killing move, collapsing its core.

Yet some remnants remain, continuing along the originally planned trajectory under the final influence.

Even if this might has waned, perhaps a single Taiyi expert paying some price could still stop it.

But this time, there is no longer that Dragon Ancestor who stepped forward selflessly, sparing no cost to give his life to protect the dragon clan's people.

When a meteor strikes the mountains and rivers, a blow that locks onto cause and effect is enough to overturn many dinosaur lineages and sever the dragon clan's foundation.

Hongjun values trust highly.

What he says will surely be carried out.

Likewise.

In his recent display of decisive slaughter, with the grandeur to even sacrifice the Jade Disc of Creation, the gods were momentarily terrified, daring only to watch helplessly, not daring to step forward to intercept.

No way.

The Jade Disc of Creation hasn't finished burning yet!

Who could know?

Under the Dao Ancestor's manipulation, might it again borrow the power of the two Pangus to beat down the experts blocking the way, send them to prison alongside the Dragon Ancestor, and sing a song of 'Iron Bar Tears'?

No one is willing to test the law with their own body.

Thus they can only watch helplessly as the former foundation of the Heavenly Court collapses among the mountains and rivers, boundless light bursting forth, the power of great destruction surging, following the threads of cause and effect to exterminate the Honghuang dinosaur lineages, even the true dragon clan destined to be strangled!

The Dao Ancestor gazes indifferently upon the world; heaven-born, heaven-slain, such is the principle of the Dao.

Having done such a great deed, he is not afraid that the Dragon Ancestor, once freed in the future, will settle scores with him, ignoring the harsh words the Dragon Ancestor Great Sage uttered before imprisonment.

Vying for emperorship?

Blocking the way?

It's merely a joke.

The Dao Ancestor waves his whisk, his eyes deep: 'Just a pawn, unable to see the big picture, how can you play against me?'

You don't even know who your opponent is……

Being able to steal my Heavenly Dao counts as your ability.

But…

Is what belongs to me really that easy to take?

Sooner or later, you'll have to return principal and interest...

The Dao Ancestor whispered, it was nothing but killing intent.

With the restraint of the Creation Jade Disc gone, he gradually revealed his true nature, decisive in slaughter, cold and unfeeling.

Cang... just fell flat like that?

Standing at the origin of time in the Honghuang world, Nüwa and Di Jun stared at each other.

Just moments ago, the Dragon Ancestor was still arrogant and booming, giving off the vibe of a Pangu candidate.

Next moment, he was handcuffed and thrown in jail, even worse than them by a margin.

They were merely temporarily banned in the game, but the Dragon Ancestor had the entire dragon race sent to a detention center!

The dragon race still exists, but it's already a group of dragons without a leader.

The world is changing too fast." Di Jun raised his brows slightly, "We can't see it clearly."

For us Golden Immortals, this is a very dangerous signal.

So..." He looked at Nüwa and proposed, "If we don't want others to reap the benefits, I think... between the Wu Clan and the Demon Race, we ought to cease hostilities, temporarily make peace, coexist peacefully, and join forces to crush those 'Hidden Dragons'."

August Emperor personally intervened; his plans must be great... Perhaps in silence, some pieces have fallen, deciding to rise up amidst the chaos.

And the foundations of both the Wu Clan and the Demon Race have also been lost simultaneously, making it impossible to suppress the whole situation... Once some people grow powerful, relying only on those loyal forces left within the Honghuang world will be utterly insufficient to handle it.

Moreover, at this point... loyalty is no longer reliable.

Now, what we need is... time!

If we unite, we can use time to wear off the aftermath of Pangu's clash and get through this weak period.

Afterward, everything will return to the right track, and then we can decide life and death!

Fellow Daoist Nüwa, what do you think?

Di Jun put forward a suggestion that greatly served their interests.

Abandoning the hostile relationship between the camps, letting the Wu Clan and the Demon Race factions within the Honghuang world cease fire, turning from enemies into temporary allies, becoming two great scoundrels, jointly striking at any third party that might rise to take advantage.

In this world, having two hegemons is already too many!

Nüwa listened, her eyelids slightly drooping, her lashes trembling, as she fell into thought.

Her heart stirred.

But...

She suddenly thought of something.

Fengxi... Qingjia...

These were loyal subjects who shed sweat and youth for her ideal, busy aiding Nüwa in her undertaking to uphold the human way.

In those battles against the Demon Race, human and Wu Clan warriors fell in pools of blood.

For what did they sacrifice?

Certainly, part of it was due to loyalty to Nüwa.

But another part was because of... the ideal that Nüwa herself proposed!

Now, for personal gain, must we temporarily abandon our ideal? To betray the future we once promised to everyone, a future they willingly sacrificed for?

Nüwa asked herself, hand on heart.

Suddenly, she laughed.

Your idea is not bad.

But...

I! Refuse!
