Chapter 714: Wind Earl! Heroic Summon!

~14 min read 2,683 words

Fei Lian Yao Marshal returned, and at a glance saw Nüwa.

What a fright!

What grudge, what hatred?

How many years have passed? The war between witches and demons should have ended long ago, right?

Your pinching my resurrection point, coming to my grave to visit with such enthusiasm… is too frightening!

Fei Lian Yao Marshal trembled, feeling that even the gods were not well.

He felt bitter and sorrowful—being a god is so hard.

"I didn't notice before… Nüwa is actually such a vengeful goddess?"

"That's not right either?"

"I'm the victim, okay?"

Fei Lian thought about it, and his heart grew even more sorrowful.

As a "victim", being killed once isn't enough—do they want to kill me a second time?

Fei Lian pondered—

Now, having lain back in the coffin, can I pretend nothing happened?

The Yao Marshal's eyes were lifeless, his vacant gaze filled with despair and pain at being unable to resist fate.

"Heh! So much drama in your heart."

Suddenly a soft voice exploded in Fei Lian's heart.

It was Nüwa speaking, her tone calm and indifferent: "Don't be so nervous."

"I have no need to torment you like this."

"It is you, my resurrected one… who lets you return, and naturally there is a great matter to entrust you with."

"Of course, you may also disagree."

"But then I would have to ask you to lie down again."

"And this lying down… perhaps you truly won't know how many years must pass before you can awaken again."

The girl's tone was calm, but Fei Lian couldn't stay calm—with a "whoosh" he leapt several feet high, did a carp flip on the spot, and instantly stood straight, shouting, "Agree, agree! Absolutely agree!"

This Yao Marshal, without asking for details, nodded hurriedly, leaving afterimages.

While nodding, he loudly flattered, "Nüwa Majesty!"

"Your radiant image has always been my goal of worship and admiration!"

"Back then, if not for the burden of my clan, I truly wanted to follow behind you and join you in the great undertaking of defying heaven!"

"As for the earlier siege and killing of Yandi, it was only because I didn't know you were incognito… otherwise, even with ten guts, I wouldn't dare to raise a hand against you!"

Fei Lian Yao Marshal lavished praise.

Just to stay alive!

Not shivering.

Although he isn't very afraid of death.

But, if one can avoid death, it's still better not to die.

At the very least, being unable to die has no meaning at all.

Having just been resurrected, not yet clear on the situation, he stubbornly held his neck high… that would really get him killed!

At least, we must wait for him to learn the current state of his clan's descendants, his own study of the Dao lineage's transmission… and so on, whether the bloodline and spiritual inheritance are still preserved, proving he once thrived in this world.

Even in death, he must be able to close his eyes in peace.

Using flattery to please Nüwa, buying time, a glimmer of spiritual light from Fei Lian the Yao Master illuminated the myriad realms, ages, countless pieces of information naturally reflected and copied, suddenly causing Fei Lian to doubt life.

Nüwa gave him a cold look, neither disturbing nor interrupting, merely cutting off the channel for outward transmission, but not forbidding Fei Lian's reception process.

This is a one-sided block.

Nevertheless, even so, after Fei Lian Yao Marshal entered the "village network", he also became somewhat mentally disordered.

"Have I been dead for a long time?"

"This time isn't very long, is it?"

"How did the world become like this?"

Fei Lian Yao Marshal, like a badger digging for melons everywhere, stared dazed at the endless melon field.

——He had just logged off a moment ago, and so many major events happened?

Dragon Ancestor went on a killing spree!

Dao Ancestor overturned the table!

Human Dao took the hit!

Pangu descended from the heavens!

The Five Fortunes rebelled!

……

Good fellow!

Previously the badger sought melons; now melons seek the badger.

Fei Lian Yao Marshal blinked, feeling he had been eliminated by the times, becoming a discarded version……

"Isn't that wrong?"

"But now I'm actually ahead of the times!"

In an instant, Fei Lian Yao Marshal's courage rose.

"Former Yao Monarch Majesty, now… can you still handle me?"

The Yao Marshal's spine straightened, and his divine power was working again.

However.

When his proud bones began to straighten, Nüwa instantly saw through Feilian's little thoughts, silently applied pressure, and broke all the Yao Marshal's stiffened bones.

"Boom!"

In this tranquil pocket of spacetime, Empress Wa's divine might raged, terrifyingly shaking the world; all phenomena of heaven and earth blurred, returning to a black‑and‑white dead silence, no longer cycling, the universe drifting away, Chaos drawing near—at the end lies emptiness!

Immediately.

Feilian the Yao Marshal's proud bones became compliant, he bowed his head and was utterly obedient.

—You are still the Empress Wa!

—Even if you've risen and fallen endlessly along the way, ultimately a skinny dead camel is still bigger than a horse; dealing with you, a Primordial Great Luo, is no problem!

Nüwa gave Feilian a stern rebuke, snapping him to awareness.

And this awakening caused cold sweat to trickle up the Yao Marshal's spine, making him feel a chill as he realized and comprehended some terrifying things.

"The girl was dead back then… but look at her now!"

"This way… wasn't the girl's death just this lady acting, me killing myself, then the thief shouting "catch the thief," reasonably letting my important combat power fake its death?"

"If we look at the present situation, with most of the strong ones crippled seven‑eighths just to suppress the demon calamity… was the girl's deliberate death then a means to escape, showing she had foreseen it all, or even orchestrated the whole event herself?"

The more Feilian the Yao Marshal imagined things, the shorter his stature became—bowing his head low to kowtow to Empress Wa.

The more Fei Lian, the Yao Marshal, imagined, the shorter his stature became—bowing his head and lowering himself, paying homage to the Empress!

Even more frightening than when he had just revived, opened his eyes, and seen Nüwa!

Because this is literally having calculated all the gods, with everything under control!

What terrifying intellect and strategy this is!

Even the August Emperor at his peak back then might not match this!

Realizing this, Feilian's bones could no longer puff up with pride—after all, facing such a ruthless person, how could he remain arrogant?

I'll break your bones and squeeze out the marrow!

If you don't want dignity, I'll give you dignity!

When the August Emperor slew three thousand Chaos demon gods, his swing of the axe was clean and swift—he didn't care how hard your bones were!

What's more, looking at Nüwa now, she shows signs of 'the student surpassing the teacher'!

Feilian had just come back to life and didn't want to risk his life in a reckless challenge.

So he followed his heart.

Just like the Buddhist Sect, following his heart.

The girl glanced at the obedient Feilian, her clever little mind turning, and she roughly understood his thoughts—somewhat helpless, somewhat speechless.

The girl glanced at the meek and obedient Fei Lian, her clever little mind turning, and she roughly understood his thoughts, feeling somewhat helpless and also speechless.

She courted investment, founded the Wu Clan, made many allies with all kinds of pleasant words, yet for top‑tier divine masters it was never very useful, not highly valued; in the end, it was still her close friend who proved reliable, working hard to support her.

Thus, among the Ancestral Wu, more than half of the beings have a goddess as their true form behind them.

Therefore, among the Ancestral Witches, more than half of the beings have a goddess as their true form behind them.

She merely revealed her 'cunning and deceit', deep and forbearing, seemingly carrying out a terrifying plot to overturn the age—brushing against it, a Yao Marshal just so readily yielded!

Merely by revealing her 'cunning and deceitful', deep and forbearing nature—suspected of orchestrating a terrifying plot to overturn the age, even just brushing against it... a Yao Marshal, so decisively, yielded!

Wa‑wa sighed.

Suddenly, she seemed to somewhat understand her brother—why he constantly, intentionally or not, guided her onto a cold, ruthless imperial path, always pointing out her mind‑games and stratagems, how to contend and compete.

Suddenly, she seemed to somewhat understand her elder brother: why he constantly, intentionally or not, guided her onto a cold, ruthless imperial path, always pointing out her scheming and calculations, how to contend and compete.

If you're not family, who'd teach you these tricks? Go grow through repeated beatings!

For a moment, Nüwa's impression of Fuxi slightly changed.

Having experienced it personally, felt it deeply, she gained much insight.

On matters of right and wrong, Nüwa suddenly felt… perhaps she should listen more to her brother's teachings from now on?

On matters of right and wrong, Nüwa suddenly felt…… perhaps she should listen more to her elder brother's teachings in the future?

"It's advice!"

Nüwa clung to her stubborn duck‑mouth, admitting fault was fine, but bowing her head was not!

Thinking over some subtle matters, the girl shook her head, which again made Feilian tense up.

However, she also stopped any violent threats, restraining her aura.

"It seems you understand what's going on."

The girl's eyes shifted, looking at Feilian: 'Then I'll arrange what you'll do, and you should know it in your heart.'

"I know, I know! It's my old trade!" Feilian nodded repeatedly, "Fighting! Campaigning! I'm still better at that!"

"My lady, tell me whom to fight and I'll fight them!"

"Very good." Nüwa nodded, "You work for me, I won't shortchange you."

"What are you saying, my lady?" Feilian declared solemnly, "I admire your noble character, I wish to follow your shadow and together contribute to the welfare of humanity—how could it be for personal gain?"

"What are you saying, Your Ladyship?" Fei Lian said righteously, "I admire your noble character, I wish to follow in your footsteps and together contribute to the welfare of humanity—how could it be for personal gain?"

This expression of loyalty was firm, representing the Yao Marshal's trust in Nüwa.

Of course, this also shows confidence in Nüwa's success—after all, this lady so 'cautious' has preserved such terrifying strength, laying an ambush for everyone single‑handedly; how could she lose?

If even that could lose, he wouldn't say anything else—he'd just go sweep the streets from now on!

"Public is public, private is private—no more words."

Nüwa said calmly, "I won't let private interests sacrifice themselves for public causes, leaving those who gather firewood for the many to freeze in the wind and snow."

Nüwa said calmly, "I will not let private individuals selflessly contribute to public affairs; for those who gather firewood for the many, I will not let them freeze to death in the wind and snow."

What's yours is yours.

However, it's ultimately a special period.

Nüwa looked at Fei Lian and said, "Change your appearance, change your title; for now, do not use your original identity."

"Then... please grant me your guidance, Mother!" Fei Lian replied obediently.

"Granting guidance..." the goddess pondered, thinking carefully.

She thought of many things.

But after thinking, she finally arrived at the oldest lineage of the human race, which was the "Wind Clan".

"Wind... you shall be called Wind Earl!" the goddess declared, "It's merely a title; someday you must revert to your original name."

"Thank you, Mother!" Fei Lian the Yao Marshal straightened up, "From now on, I am the Wind Earl!"

"May I ask, Mother, where should I, the Wind Earl, work? Which division should I command? How do I report to the Fire Master?"

Fei Lian—no, the Wind Earl—began to show his work enthusiasm, proving he was not just a freeloader.

"No rush, I still need to make a couple of arrangements."

The goddess waved her hand to stop it, her eyes deep and hesitant, "Don't make a big show of the tasks you handle for me."

"At the very least, there should be some groundwork, making it reasonable."

"Even openly, you cannot surface under my name and enter the Human Emperor's sight..."

"I will arrange another origin for you, to walk a legitimate path..."

Nüwa instructed, word by word.

The Wind Earl listened, listening, and felt something was off.

Especially, the goddess also mentioned the Human Emperor!

"I... I've stepped into the high-level power struggle of the human race?"

"Nüwa Emperor... is this a lack of trust in the Human Emperor?"

The Wind Earl was somewhat dazed.

But after the daze, he became calm again.

Just a small matter!

The previous Yandi, frankly, was somewhat timid... a Grand Ultimate who could still disregard morality and martial virtue—this was indeed frightening; even at midnight, he dared not close his eyes, fearing someone would sneak up and beat him with a blunt stick.

But now?

Each generation has its own deity; Yandi's battle prowess is ruined!

As for morality and martial virtue...

—This wave, this wave Fei Lian supports Nüwa!

Without morality, could anyone be more formidable than this goddess who has acted for countless years?

Nüwa's performance under the twist of fate gave Fei Lian great confidence.

—My leadership is damn awesome, damn lacking in virtue—are you scared?

Regarding this, Nüwa was embarrassed to expose it, so she acquiesced.

After all, this can't be exposed, right?

Once admitted, all face is lost!

The issue of dignity is minor.

Letting subordinates develop ambitions they shouldn't have—that's a big problem.

They dare to do all kinds of deceiving superiors and inferiors!

Nüwa is avoiding stepping on a landmine.

"The category of star gods… I think that's fine." She was still arranging for Feng Bo, "In this regard, Doumu is mainly responsible, and she has also intertwined the domain of the starry sky; ordinary people aren't familiar with you, so there's no need to worry too much about being exposed on the matter of your background."

"Once you've passed the bright path, I'll arrange things again, and you'll go mix with Da You… to assist him in military affairs and oversee military duties."

"Once you're here, you can selectively reveal to him that you were sent by my arrangement… but don't expose the information that I came in person."

"I'm not worried about his loyalty, but I'm more worried that he can't keep his thoughts to himself, letting some people guess something."

"That's roughly it, you… understand?"

Nüwa looked at Feng Bo.

She designed a set of nesting dolls.

On the surface, Feng Bo had some connection with Doumu Yuanjun; he came relying on those ties, as the Demon Race's power waned, to seek refuge among humans as an ordinary star god.

In secret, he is also Nüwa's confidant, tasked with investigating and supervising the work of the Fire Master as a dedicated disciplinary committee.

Only in the innermost secrecy lies the true reality: he is a general directly under Nüwa's command, and the Yao Marshal Feilian!

"Understood!"

Feng Bo's expression was invigorated, "My lord, you entrust me with a great matter; I will exert my utmost effort!"

"Good!"

Nüwa smiled.

In an inexplicable moment, she unconsciously looked toward the direction of the Samsara Netherworld, comforting the sleeping spirit of Jia Ke in the heavens.

However, it is precisely that place…

……

Fengxi walked calmly through the mountains and rivers of the Netherworld, soundless and scentless.

Like flowing wind, like floating clouds, sweeping past without staining a speck of dust.

Only when he reached a certain place did he stop his steps, lift his head, and gaze.

Here lies the achievement that once made his name shake heaven and earth, and thus it became a dark history known to the three thousand Great Luo.

Heroic Move!

He spoke plainly, with great penetrative power, echoing in a certain dead silent spacetime, awakening a hazy consciousness.

After years of reflection, have you awakened!
