Chapter 794

Nüwa is not merely dissatisfied? Very angry?

If she were able to return and see this situation, she would not hesitate to risk her life, even to twist someone's head off!

- No new named entity.

She bitterly resents spending year after year pressing golden thread, only to make wedding clothes for others.

- No.

She racked her brains, devised countless schemes, even cast aside her morals, endured untold hardships, and finally forged the crystallization of the Way of Creation—the human race.

This note identifies the human race as a named entity, the Way of Creation as a technique, and clarifies that morals is not a name.

It is the pinnacle of accommodating souls and comprehension, ingeniously receiving the great gift of Pangu's essence blood, ultimately achieving a race with limitless potential.

This note identifies Pangu as a named entity, notes that the race referred to is the human race (already noted), and clarifies that essence blood is not a name.

The human race's beginnings may be weak.

This note already mentions the human race.

But they possess infinite potential and limitless possibilities—that is, omnipotence!

- No.

Omniscience is the pursuit of Xihuang's Way of Change.

This note identifies Xihuang as a named entity, and the Way of Change as a technique.

That omnipotence is the ultimate expression of the Nüwa Emperor's Creation.

This note identifies the title Nüwa Emperor as a named entity.

The human race bears Nüwa's dream, used to overturn and create, leaving a bold stroke in the verdant annals of the wilderness, bearing the Nüwa Emperor's great aspiration to surpass Fuxi.

This note lists the named entities: human race, Nüwa, Honghuang (the Wilderness), Nüwa Emperor, and Fuxi.

So much effort has been poured into it!

- No.

Even the hard-won merit of opening heaven, obtained by robbing the rich to help the poor from August Emperor, was almost wholly invested here... The human race owes its present state to Nüwa's boundless merit.

This note lists the named entities: August Emperor (the August Emperor), merit, human race, and Nüwa.

But this painstakingly forged achievement has been coveted by others, and its fruits have been plucked.

- No.

The laughing Human Dao, taking advantage of Nüwa's flustered response to Xihuang, lightly remarked—

This note identifies Human Dao as a faction, Nüwa as a named entity, and Xihuang as a named entity.

Hand it over!

- No.

If Nüwa knew the truth, she might even feel like hanging herself.

This note already mentions Nüwa.

—How could one be so cruel as to bully honest Nüwa!

This note mentions the nickname "honest Nüwa", which is not a formal name.

What a pity.

- No.

The Human Dao's cleverness takes a turn for the worse.

This note again mentions Human Dao.

When one oversteps, it is due to a split personality, calling for understanding.

- No.

When one pursues personal gain, they become spirited and wide awake, more awake than ever.

- No.

Of course.

- No.

Perhaps the Human Dao also knows that its actions have gone too far beyond the line.

This note again mentions Human Dao.

For this, they likewise paid a great price... A Holy Emperor bearing a mission will eternally suppress the human race's fate through countless calamities.

This note identifies the Holy Emperor as a named entity, the human race as a named entity, and the Great Calamity as a named entity.

Xuanyuan let out a light sigh.

This note identifies the person Xuanyuan as a named entity.

This will be a bet with no winners.

- No.

But he still cannot refrain from going.

- No.

Because the retreat for all living beings is scarce.

This note mentions the term "all living beings", which is not a proper name.

So, even if he feels a bit guilty, he still must get this done.

- No.

Anyway, isn't Lady Nüwa not speaking out against it?

This note identifies Nüwa as a named entity, noting that the honorific "Lady" is not part of the name.

Just assume she tacitly consented!

- No.

Lady Nüwa, adults are magnanimous; surely they won't quibble over these trivial matters.

This note identifies Nüwa as a named entity, noting that the title "Lady" is not part of the name.

Xuanyuan said to Báizé, 'So then, let's set this issue aside for now.'

This note identifies the persons Xuanyuan and Báizé as named entities.

If you say that, I'll tentatively listen. Báizé shook his head, 'Anyway, if the Nüwa Emperor comes looking for trouble later... I definitely won't take the blame.'

This note identifies Báizé as a named entity and the Nüwa Emperor as a named entity.

He is straightforward, blunt, and quite optimistic—Xuanyuan's wicked deeds have made him just a poor soul forced onto the pirate ship; could Nüwa still blame him and take out her anger on him?

This note identifies Xuanyuan and Nüwa as named entities.

The culprits are Fuxi and Fengxi!

This note identifies Fuxi and Fengxi as named entities.

He, Báizé, is very safe!

This note identifies Báizé as a named entity.

Regarding Nüwa's tolerance and breadth of mind, Báizé still fully approves... Although in this era, Nüwa shows signs of learning bad habits, her scheming has become too deep.

This note identifies Nüwa and Báizé as named entities.

However, rivers and mountains may change, but nature is hard to alter.

- No.

Nüwa's moral bottom line is trustworthy.

This note identifies Nüwa as a named entity.

Hey! Xuanyuan merely smiled, not taking it to heart.

This note identifies Xuanyuan as a named entity.

When her mindset erupts and she still can't find a way to vent, old friend, you will know...

- No.

People are all forced out!

- No.

However, Xuanyuan does not wish to discuss future matters.

This note identifies Xuanyuan as a named entity.

What he must overcome and conquer is the present difficulty.

- No.

If the era's difficulty can hopefully be resolved, then we'll handle it... Afterwards, I will go to meet the Dragon Phoenix Heavenly Court, to put a period on the end of this era!

This note identifies the Dragon Phoenix Heavenly Court as a named entity.

The era's lament will ultimately be a turn from bitter to sweet, the arrival of a beautiful future; or perhaps it is the continuation of suffering, reflecting in the depths... All will be revealed then.

- No.

Xuanyuan said, 'Time is limited; you should quickly eliminate internal hidden dangers and build a stable rear.'

This note identifies Xuanyuan as a named entity.

I will grant you armies of weapons, aid you in enforcing grace and might, so that the Dao of the human race permeates all races, and the four seas submit.

This note mentions the human race as a named entity, and notes that Dao, all races, and the four seas are not names.

And you? Báizé looked at Xuanyuan, 'I've taken care of everything; what are you doing?'

This note identifies Báizé and Xuanyuan as named entities.

Me? Xuanyuan smiled, 'I naturally have cut off the return path of those ancestor Wu and demon emperors!'

This note identifies Xuanyuan as a named entity, Ancestor Wu as a named entity, and Demon Emperor as a named entity.

Although he was smiling, his tone carried endless killing intent, causing Báizé to change color upon hearing it.

This note identifies Báizé as a named entity.

I will perform the Fengshan sacrifices, offering to heaven, earth, and humanity, establishing righteous law, to become the orthodox ruler of the Human Dao for all living beings, and proclaim myself emperor!

This note identifies Human Dao as a named entity, notes that all living beings and emperor are generic terms, and notes that Fengshan sacrifices and righteous law are not names.

This tore apart the Wu-Yao pattern... Although this pattern was already tottering in the post-Wu-Yao era, the human race rose and gradually grasped the right to speak among the Wu.

This note identifies the Wu-Yao faction as a named entity, notes that the post-Wu-Yao era is not a name, and identifies the human race as a named entity.

But ultimately, there are still some things that are not properly named or spoken.

- No.

And Xuanyuan's move is to sweep away all the past dross!

This note identifies Xuanyuan as a named entity.

Whether the Monster Clan Heavenly Court or the Wu Clan Ancestral Court, from then on they were all listed as illegal organizations.

This note identifies the Monster Clan Heavenly Court and the Wu Clan Ancestral Court as named entities.

From then on, even if those great divine beings returned, the Human Dao could refuse to acknowledge them... They could only speak as pure innate divine beings, not relying on the status of ancestor Wu or demon emperor.

This note identifies Human Dao, Ancestor Wu, and Demon Emperor as named entities, and notes that great divine beings are not a name.

Hiss! Báizé sucked in a cold breath, 'You're tearing apart face!'

This note identifies Báizé as a named entity.

"What then?" Xuanyuan lowered his eyes and brows, "Those who truly hold heart for public will not quibble over personal honor and disgrace; the human way will naturally compensate."

If one's mindset is unbalanced and cannot see their stance clearly, I don't mind giving them a lesson, letting them know… just who has the final say in this Honghuang!

Even Hongjun could pull off a confrontation, letting the Heavenly Court attack the Wu Clan… so can't I, as the Human Dao, do such a thing? Or are they bullying me because my blade is dull?!

Xuanyuan said this, his tone growing even more fierce.

"Okay, okay, okay, you're strong, you call the shots……" Báizé always felt a bit wary of such saint-hearted autocrats, because it reminded him of an unpleasant past…… the previous overlord who so domineeringly controlled the Human Dao's mouthpiece was called the August Emperor!

He wielded the Heaven-Opening Axe, instantly cleaving three thousand demon gods…… that pose was handsome and suave, but the chaos demon gods who got cleaved were in agony!

"Have you decided on your regnal name?" Báizé fumbled for pen and paper, his professional instincts kicking in—witnessing an event destined to be etched into eternity, and being able to dig into its secrets, for him as a historian, was simply an irresistible temptation, like a gourmet encountering the rarest ingredient, "What meaning does it carry?"

"The regnal name… let's just call it Tai Emperor." Xuanyuan smiled faintly, "The meaning isn't important…… but if I must give a reason, it's that I gathered my forces at Mount Tai, the Human Dao's myriad peoples assembled, vowing to conquer the Dragon-Phoenix Heavenly Court."

The Ghost Gate flung wide, spirits gathered as one, to assault eternity.

This is a great undertaking, taking place on Mount Tai, enough to inscribe upon it an eternal, brilliant legendary radiance.

Mount Tai thus becomes divine, thus becomes holy!

"Oh oh oh, Tai Emperor!" Báizé noted it down while his eyes rolled about, as if he'd spotted a business opportunity.

Indeed, that's exactly the case.

He had already thought it through.

Thanks to such legendary backing from Mount Tai, henceforth any human king who thinks himself mighty must go up there for a visit, right?

They've all gone, just to go through the motions, trace the Holy Emperor's traces…… quite normal, right?

And since it's a search…… there must certainly be someone knowledgeable to give guidance!

Then…… who could understand this better than someone like him who's been through it?

So……

Consider the consulting fee, huh?!

And……

Later on, Mount Tai opened as a tourist spot—ticket fees, guide fees, and so on; even a mosquito's worth is meat!

Báizé happily noted down this business opportunity, even considering whether to stake out a plot here for future development.

But he ultimately dismissed that idea.

After all, the last person who was that "dry" went up to the heavenly platform and jumped off.

Moreover, Mount Tai is also special, with the Ghost Gate Pass appearing and disappearing, opening once a year—it's a junction of life and death…… one misstep, and it's easy to get drawn into the conflict between the netherworld and the yang world, the strife of the living and the dead.

When that happens, the disputes will pile up, and the earnings won't even be enough to quell the trouble!

Báizé regretfully shelved the land‑grabbing plan, giving up his dream of being a landlord.

His mindset shifted quickly; he had a knack for finding joy in hardship.

The Cang Emperor's seat hadn't even warmed before he became the Left Historian under the Yellow Emperor, handling Human Dao affairs and building a shared destiny for humanity…… he felt a bit regretful about it, yet had few complaints or dissatisfactions, and performed his duties faithfully.

The Yellow Emperor set up a ritual altar while observing Báizé handle affairs, feeling moved.

No wonder he's returned…… aside from ability, his disposition is also very fitting.

Perhaps this also relates to the path he walks, not being the Holy Emperor's way.

Xuanyuan seemed lost in thought.

If it were another Grand Simplicity overlord instead, there'd be trouble.

Like a Dragon Ancestor…… you'd have to fight it first, win or lose.

Even if you beat him, you might not actually be convinced.

Báizé, however, had no such worry…… even though he also needed to agonize over the spy‑within‑spy problem, having mired himself in the mire.

But Mr. Bai firmly believed, with so many lightning‑resistant tops ahead, what could possibly happen to him in the end?

No big problem!

He handled affairs smoothly, mediating internal Human Dao conflicts and facilitating cultural exchange among the tribes.

Under his leadership, humanity's civilization expanded its influence to the utmost, gradually achieving uniform script and speech!

Originally, each tribe had its own civilization, its own script, its own language.

But with Báizé in charge, the Human Dao's script and language gradually became common, giving rise to the idea of fourth‑ and sixth‑level assessments.

This is a symbol of civilization's strength, the assimilation of weaker civilizations by the dominant one.

Script and language carry so much…… they are the ancients' summation of the world, condensed thought, the crystallization of wisdom.

Learning others' scripts and languages is itself an active process of accepting assimilation, aligning one's thought with theirs.

Only when thought aligns can there be a foundation for putting oneself in another's shoes, and further acceptance of converging values.

Achieving this, besides the superiority of civilized thought, also requires the deterrence of great power and strength.

At this point in time, is there any force stronger than Xuanyuan standing behind Cangjie?

None!

On Cangjie's person, glory gradually accumulated, he was honored as a Saint, later generations reverently called him the Saint of Character Creation, possessing high recognizability and uniqueness.

Of course, if we really examine it, half of this military merit credit goes to Xuanyuan.

The clans and tribes that created characters number in the millions, countless ancestors' wisdom inherited, each with its own lineage—how could it all be gathered in one person?

Such allocation of glory hides a struggle for discursive power, involving a comparison of hard strength.

If one's strength is weak, even if your clan's history is ancient, having created characters ages ago, it will still be overtaken by latercomers, forcing you to accept their script and language as the mainstream medium of communication.

Cangjie is precisely such a case—a beneficiary.

Because he is the spokesman with the loudest voice and strongest fists of Xuanyuan at this time, his achievements in creating and promoting characters are destined to shine for eternity, overwhelm all rivals, and become the Saint of Character Creation!

Xuanyuan needs him, to become the key to humanity's soft power.

Cangjie also needs Xuanyuan, to use hard strength to open channels reaching all quarters.

Between them, they accomplish each other.

And when this rhythm proceeded to a certain point, myriad races pledged their hearts, and Xuanyuan performed the Fengshan sacrifice on Mount Tai!

On that day, heaven and earth wailed, mountains and rivers trembled.

The fortune of the Monster Clan Heavenly Court, the great destiny of the Wu Clan's ancestral court— in the unseen they were all struck by a blade, severely wounded, and replaced!

Under normal circumstances, this would surely provoke an unprecedented frenzied backlash.

The Demon Emperor would fly into a rage, and the Yao Marshal would howl.

The ancestral Wu would moreover march side by side, questioning the emperor who performed the Fengshan, asking why he had abandoned the ancient covenant.

But now!

All those beings capable of hindering Xuanyuan are no longer present in the Honghuang world!

They have been exiled!

Thus, amidst the intertwining of blood rain and brilliant dawn, Xuanyuan ascended to the supreme position, the human race's destiny surpassing all, he severed the heavenly mandate of the Wu and Demon races, and inaugurated a brand-new chapter.

However, this is not the beginning of enjoyment, but the starting point of hardship and struggle.

When the human race's destiny shattered the suppression, broke free of its bonds, and thus stood firm amidst the Honghuang mountains and rivers, that also marked the beginning of conquest!

"Where is the Luo Scripture?"

Xuanyuan stood atop Mount Tai, his voice cold as he asked, and the Luo Scripture rose from Báizé's hand, hovering before him.

"Where is the River Chart?"

Xuanyuan again questioned heaven and earth; in the next instant, time and space collapsed, a divine scroll fluttered forth, and lay beside him.

"A single word becomes the law of heaven and earth!"

At this very moment, Xuanyuan's might and terror are fully revealed.

"Go! Open the node of time!"

"Tell your former masters, I… have come!"

"The Supreme Emperor Divine Dynasty shall battle the Dragon-Phoenix Heavenly Court, to decide the ages!"

As his words fell, banners rose up between heaven and earth!

Ghosts and gods trample heaven and earth, the Way of Man boils and burns, past, present, and future sacrifices resonate, sweeping across the myriad ages' mountains and rivers!

"Kill!"

A shared thought struck the River Chart and Luo Scripture, causing the two scrolls to roar.

In a blaze of resplendent immortal light, the Honghuang world shone forth, as if momentarily resonating and overlapping with another identical world, like a confluence across the ages!

And in that world, there stood the most glorious and splendid army, weapons at the ready awaiting dawn, while the most sacred Heavenly Court suppressed the origin of the cosmos.

A seal of the Heavenly Emperor, transcending all description, floated in the Heavenly Court, silently awaiting the challenger's arrival.

"You have come?"

The Heavenly Emperor issued a resounding Daoist tone, looking down upon the newcomer with interest, asking, "Are you ready to undergo the trial?"

"I have come!"

Huangdi stood atop Mount Tai; although he was looking up, he felt no humility, "Accept the trial? No! I am here to test you!"

"Let me see, Dragon-Phoenix Heavenly Court, why you can hold fast to the first place, reigning supreme from the primordial era!"

"If you cannot, then I will overturn everything and start anew!"

He is challenging, undertaking acts of overthrow!

This is dreamlike, yet it seems possible.

After all, having reached such a level, it is not because of antiquity that one is strong, but because strength makes one ancient.

If Xuanyuan wins, it would not be impossible to overturn even the ages!

The Supreme Emperor Divine Dynasty transformed into the first generation of a unified heavenly court born of Honghuang, with the five-colored human race dominating the cosmos!

"Quite an idea."

The Supreme Heavenly Emperor, honored as the August Emperor who opened heaven and earth, smiled; though merely a seal, he was incomparably real, observing the newcomer, saying, "I await your performance."

"If you can defeat me, what harm is there in letting you ascend?"

"I fear you can only talk the talk, your true ability is not worth a single blow."

"Then just watch!" Xuanyuan replied.

"Good!" the Heavenly Emperor chuckled lightly, raised a hand, and three streaks of flowing light tore through spacetime, descending thus!

They were three supreme treasures!

The Supreme Ultimate Chart!

Pangu's Banner!

Chaos Bell!

They had all been truly summoned forth, for this battle!
