Chapter 767

Good, Yandi Majesty left a hand…… With our

Chiyou's divine might was vast and overwhelming, fully displaying his tyranny.

Over these years he has been settling and honing his skills; it is finally time to unsheathe his sword!

"Then this battle is yours to handle."

Nüwa nodded, regaining her composure, though killing intent lurked in her brows and eyes—"At this point I still shouldn't show myself; it would be unfavorable to the grand scheme."

"At the very least we need to draw out Chonghua… and have him die halfway."

Her objective was clear—she was preparing to fish!

As an unexpected "dead person" to many, before she surfaces she is the most terrifying deadly weapon, capable of delivering a lethal Absolute Kill effect against any schemer unaware she still lives.

Nüwa pondered.

"With such a clever scheme of hers, even her brother Xihuang would surely fall into it!"

Who could have imagined?

Nüwa, she is long since no longer what she once was!

"Some frontline forces aren't worth my personal involvement; that would startle the snake… so it's up to you, Chiyou." Nüwa thought and said, then sighed, "Alas, by now I've played all my cards; I can't pull out many more that can see the light."

"Some people are just too sly… the Buddhist sect…"

Nüwa's gaze was deep and unfathomable; she let out a soft hum—"That Jieyin fellow actually just perished like that?"

"Let him die, no need to give prior notice… what's the matter? Are you afraid I'll speak up again?!"

"And then they even sent over an accountant… don't they trust me?"

Nüwa voiced her complaints, holding nothing back.

"Perhaps the Jieyin sect leader has his worries? Or perhaps he encountered a deviation in his cultivation?" The monk beside, eyes to nose, nose to heart, said, "Goddess Nüwa, please rest assured."

"The poor monk comes here merely to better cooperate with your work, helping you keep false accounts better, faster, and more perfectly; all financial expenditures will strive to be reasonable, thereby concealing the traces of your recovery and return."

"The pharmacist I have absolutely no divided loyalties!"

"Your Ladyship, if there's anything inconvenient for you to do, just command… I, who was urgently promoted to the leader of the Eastern Pure Glazed World, will certainly not refuse."

The monk spoke fervently, expressing great loyalty, which finally eased Nüwa's countenance considerably.

"This is roughly enough…"

Nüwa sized up the monk pharmacist from head to toe, feeling he was at least passable——

Speaking of ability, though not strong, his professional skill is quite good, specializing in saving lives and healing wounds.

Speaking of status, though his seniority falls far short of the two Buddhist sect leaders on Mount Sumeru, he was hastily appointed… yet he can still bluff outsiders adequately enough.

"Then let the Great Medicine King Buddha lend a hand, providing cover for me in this battle."

Nüwa let out a faint sigh: "I fashion heaven and earth, pray for blessings and dispel calamities; life and death, flesh and white bones are but a flip of the hand."

"With me, the shamans of Ling Mountain can sustain the Nine Li lineage in relentless death battles, holding the line."

The Nine Li lineage is responsible for front-line combat.

The ten shamans of Ling Mountain are responsible for healing.

Even a simple coordination amounts to more than the sum of its parts.

But some issues need to be clarified, to arrive at a self-consistent answer.

"However, if too exaggerated, it would inevitably let the enemy spot some clues and discern my traces."

"But with you… it is sufficient to pull off a deception."

Leader of the Eastern Pure Glazed World.

Pharmacist Glazed Light Tathagata.

Great Medicine King Buddha!

This is a brand-new banner the Buddhist sect has unveiled, able to explain many problems.

For example, the origins of the Ling Mountain shamans—why are they appearing here…… and so on.

Don't ask.

Asking is just expanding business!

The Buddhist sect ambitiously wants to expand their grand vow lending financial business, upgrading from the afterlife benefits insurance circle to dip into medical insurance, further deepening their control over the human affairs of birth, aging, sickness, and death, to enlarge the market…… is there a problem with that?

No problem.

To this end, they roll out a newcomer—the Great Medicine King Buddha, establish an Eastern Buddhist branch, the Eastern Pure Glazed World, and even get involved in human conflicts…… all of which are perfectly reasonable!

The Great Medicine King Buddha smiled, fully accepting Nüwa's arrangements, occasionally picking up his pen to write vigorously in the book, recording the Goddess Nüwa's important instructions, seemingly to ensure uniformity of her stance when later facing the gods in the mortal realm's judicial hall.

This conscientious and cautious attitude left Nüwa deeply satisfied… although Jieyin's speed in dropping the task was a bit fast, the personnel sent still largely understood to respect her commands.

She despises those who are arrogant and self-important the most!

Now internally united and well-coordinated… they can also better resist external foes.

"Here they come!"

Suddenly, she raised her brows, gazed toward the horizon, saw the killing intent that eclipses ancient and modern, and her eyes involuntarily held a hint of sorrow.

Sorrow is inevitable.

After all……

This is already a human civil war!

Once the Bird Master, now brandishing a blade against the Fire Master—humans themselves meeting blade to blade, how tragic!

And if we cannot even control our own internal state, how can we speak of leading all of humanity to return to the root, purge corruption, and restore order?

For some reason, Nüwa felt a bit drained.

All along she has clung to her own path… but today she discovered that the road's end, the ultimate goal, seems so distant and unattainable.

"Road…… where lies it?"

A girl sighed.

Along with the lament of pity for humanity from a supreme female sage, a bloody war broke out!

The Eastern Yi Bird Master and the Fire Master Nine Li fought here!

As soon as the war began, it was madness! It was the climax!

Innumerable elites fought here, endless killing intent swept over the mountains and rivers, and it was actually not inferior to the scene of the decisive battle between the Heavenly Court and the Fire Cloud Division at Mount Buzhou!

One shocking divine general after another.

One world-shaking heavenly god after another.

This is a clash of life and death! This is a showdown of paths! This is a gamble over the future!

For the lofty purpose, the realistic choice, they slaughtered their way through the Heavy Heaven, shattered a corner of the River of Time, and caused part of the Eternal Star Heavens to sink.

"Boom—"

Myriad starlight fell like rain, all meteors shattered by the afterglow, streaking across the sky, falling upon the mountains and rivers, sweeping across a region, turning into blighted land, adding how many lost souls.

The bloody war continued.

God died!

The sage fell!

The deity enshrined on the altar and shepherding all beings was slain!

Heroes who bowed to the masses and earned merit as sages and worthies met a tragic end!

On the battlefield, whether you are good or evil, right or wrong, no one can guarantee their own survival.

This war caused countless tribal families to weep, let blood rain fill the sky, pour upon the world, with too many deaths and too many sacrifices.

Stretch after stretch of mountains and rivers were struck to wither, everything in sight was scarred, numerous immortal mountains and pure lands shattered, leaving nothing.

This is the cruelty of the battlefield!

Moreover, this is far from the end!

The Nine Li blocked the Bird Master's advance, stabilizing the human race's fate—how could this be pleasing to some warmongers?

There will inevitably be successive attacks!

One battle cannot break the Nine Li's defenses.

Then a second battle!

A third battle!

Up to the ninth battle!

This is a war with no retreat for either side…… in the endless heights, in the dim depths, at the end of ages, each sovereign stakes everything, fighting with their lives!

The Bird Master repeatedly built up offensives.

In terms of strength and power, it is naturally far superior to the Nine Li lineage.

The Nine Li are merely a branch split from the Fire Master…… even if the Yandi favors and cares for them more, they still cannot match the Fire Master Royal Court at its peak.

What about the Bird Master?

It annexed the Dragon Master, walked the path of deity, and absorbed angel investments from part of the Heavenly Court!

It has long become incomparably stronger than before!

When such power is fully mobilized, after Chonghua purges the internal obvious unstable factors, the unleashed power is extremely terrifying.

Let it charge into the battlefield at Mount Buzhou, coordinating with the Eastern Emperor inside and out, and the human race's path will naturally collapse!

However, the Nine Li…… have cheated.

A Transcendent Sage of Creation secretly returned from feigned death, with a single hand's creation divine art that could be called world-shaking, making the Nine Li lineage an undefeatable elite force and achieving an unbreakable defense.

One moment, just struck to a sliver of health; the next, the Spirit Mountain Witch Tribe lifted a hand and healed it to full health…… relying on the means of an infinite health bar, the Nine Li lineage created its most glorious feats, single-handedly holding the Border Pass and blocking the Eastern Yi's westward advance!

On the brink of life and death, repeatedly hovering and leaping sideways, in the end, even the Nine Li's elites were passively cultivated into the supreme divine art, possessing an immortal indestructible golden body, unkillable and indestructible!

Even if the body is split into five pieces, scattered across the Five Sacred Mountains and Four Seas, and targeted with tremendous force, it can only be suppressed, not eradicated!

The Nine Li commander—Chiyou—is the culmination of all this!

He endured the most bitter battles, leading eighty-one brothers, fighting at the front line, forever facing encirclement by forces many times his own…… what cannot kill him only makes him stronger!

In the bloody war, the human race's vital energy is being worn down, and the path is being shaken.

But likewise.

Although the vital energy is worn down, it becomes more refined.

Although the path is shaken, it gradually widens.

Fight!

Fight heaven and earth!

If you encounter an unsolvable dilemma in reality, then go fight!

Embrace a most sincere, most focused spirit, and bravely throw punches at the enemy named 'Difficulty'!

Perhaps……

Will fortune turn?

Heaven saw your efforts and gave you a cheat?

Without striving, without effort, there is only failure.

But having strived, having exerted effort…… perhaps one can see the dawn of victory!

Under the dim sky of the era, in the declining state of humanity, Chiyou carved out a patch of heaven!

"Weapon Master!"

"War God!"

"Chiyou the Great Emperor!"

Countless fervent cries came from all directions, making Chiyou, who single‑handedly guards the gate and sunders heaven and earth, ever more sacred and towering.

Terms: Chiyou – a figure, likely a deity/warrior. Should be transliterated as Chiyou? According to rules, person's name should be pinyin. So "Chiyou". Also "one man guards the pass" is phrase, not a name. "sunders heaven and earth" phrase.

He has become a new hope for humanity.

No new terms.

He shattered the Heavenly Court's declaration with his concrete actions—annihilating the Fire Master within how many years?

Terms: Heavenly Court already given. "Fire Master" maybe a group? Could be "Fire Master"? But likely a sect or group: "Fire Master" maybe a title? It appears as "Fire Master" (fire master). Could be a group or title. Since it's a term referring to a group (maybe a sect). Should we translate? According to rules: cultivation terms, sect/faction names should be translated by meaning. So "Fire Master" maybe a sect. But "Fire Master" could be "Fire Master" as a title. However it's used as "destroy the Fire Master" meaning "destroy the Fire Master". Likely a group. We'll translate as "Fire Master". Not a person name, so translate.

The backbone of humanity is not so easily broken.

No new.

When the heavens collapsed, Chiyou answered the call, standing as the tallest and bearing the greatest pressure.

Terms: Chiyou again.

Then, under the buffer, numerous factors shifted, and countless signs of life sprouted.

No.

Each person, invigorated in the darkness, found hope from despair, their heart's fire rekindled, becoming brighter and more splendid.

No.

Likewise, this is the strongest counterattack against the Heavenly Court, against Di Jun, and against Chonghua.

Terms: Heavenly Court, Di Jun, Chonghua.

——You claim your path is invincible; how can you not even overcome this obstacle of the Nine Li?

Terms: Nine Li.

——That seems to be an exaggeration!

No.

The Nine Li lineage exists for a day, and the enemies' faces burn hot all day!

Terms: Nine Li lineage.

And……

No.

"The time has come!"

No.

In the camp of the Xia Clan, a sovereign suddenly raised his head, saying, "It's time for us to take action!"

Terms: Xia Clan.

"Clang!"

No.

A sword rang out, clear and lofty, echoing the myriad sounds of the world.

No.

The sovereign slowly drew a long sword from his waist.

No.

The sword's body was long and splendid, carrying unfathomable subtle mysteries.

No.

It blended the ultimate truth of yin and yang, expounded the marvels of black and white; when Wenming held it level, the sword's horizontal layout naturally divided into the wondrous scene of day and night intersecting.

Terms: Wenming.

And when it moved, the wondrous scene faded, transforming into a weave of blood and fire, reflecting the era's cruelty and bloodshed.

No.

"Chime!"

No.

The sword light shone forth.

No.

It cut into the heavens, shook the law, passed through unhindered; in the void a soft sound rang, as if something had been severed!

Terms: cloud heavens, celestial law.

Is……

No.

Great righteousness and belonging!

No.

The Xia Clan, a member of the Eastern Yi, followed the will of the Bird Master, and when facing Chonghua, they performed the rites of subjects.

Terms: Xia Clan, Eastern Yi, Bird Master, Chonghua.

This morning……

No.

All was cut down by Wenming!

Term: Wenming.

He wants to do something great!

No.

Now, the time has ripened.

No.

The Nine Li blocked the way ahead, causing countless casualties, letting the compatriots awaken and further proving the failure of Chonghua's path.

Terms: Nine Li, Chonghua.

Now is not the time to rebel—when then?

No.

No……

No.

This is not rebellion!

No.

This is…… an uprising!

No.

"The Divine Lineage raises troops without the Way, attacks forces with the Way—this is a loss of virtue!"

Terms: Divine Lineage.

"Humanity should not slaughter humanity, staining kin with blood!"

No.

"We, the Xia Clan……"

Term: Xia Clan.

"Today…… we will oppose the Bird Master!"

Term: Bird Master.

"Rectify the roots, restore order!"

No.

"Those clans willing to act, follow me!"

Term: clan.

Wenming shouted low, yet shook the entire front line!

Term: Wenming.

He has risen in revolt!

No.

"……"

No.

When the Xia Clan's actions unfolded, they shocked the many clans of the Eastern Yi.

Terms: Xia Clan, Eastern Yi.

The Xia Clan lineage is not weak!

Term: Xia Clan lineage.

Even so, it can be said, very strong!

No.

In ancient times, Gong was a hero of this clan, stealing the divine soil of expanding earth from the Heavenly Court to seek to control the waters.

Terms: Gong, Heavenly Court, Expanding Soil.

Although ultimately the effort fell short, and due to the Divine Lineage's ascendancy and the promotion of the Co‑prosperity Sphere scheme, it was viewed with a critical eye.

Terms: Divine Lineage, Co-prosperity Sphere.

But human hearts can be deceived, yet are hard to deceive!

No.

The people of the Eastern Yi still remember Gong's kindness and the goodness of the Xia Clan lineage.

Terms: Eastern Yi, Gong, Xia Clan.

This is a mighty aspiration; even if the Bird Master later gained control over the Eastern Yi inside and out, they would not dare to lightly move this part.

Terms: Bird Master, Eastern Yi.

Especially after Wenming showed a willingness to yield, Chonghua still wanted to employ him openly, favoring the Xia Clan lineage.

Terms: Wenming, Chonghua, Xia Clan.

Despite the petty tricks played behind the scenes, he was sent to poor mountains and bad waters, toiling without cease.

Terms: small shoes maybe a nickname? Could be a derogatory term meaning "small shoes"? Not likely a name. Probably ignore.

Yet the Xia Clan never weakened, instead exhausting every means to develop.

Term: Xia Clan.

Poor mountains and bad waters?

Generic.

Go!

No.

Of course go!

No.

After going there, he would also develop the locality, striving to exchange and aid the suffering clans around, helping each other……

Term: clan.

In adversity, the Xiahou clan instead grew rapidly, winning the people's support.

And when such a clan boldly rises in revolt...

That kind of chain reaction is destined to be extremely terrifying!

But!

Such a major event obviously isn't just this one concerning the Xiahou Clan!

When Wenming sounds the horn of rebellion, elsewhere someone is also taking action!
