Chapter 797: August Emperor owes nothing, the heavenly way is also human!

August Emperor personally stated——

Nüwa, it was clearly arranged by him!

He is worthy of the supreme achievement of the Way of Changes, far-sighted, and grasps the future.

In the Dragon-Phoenix Era, Nüwa was relegated to second place, subjected to various fancy suppressions by Fuxi, with strict discipline, to the point that the Nüwa Emperor almost developed a phobia of Fuxi.

In the Witch-Demon Era, Xihuang retreated to the sidelines, while the Nüwa Emperor rose, cycling through reincarnation, creating humanity, ultimately turning the tables on the human way and laying the foundation!

However…… these scripts were clearly arranged, permitted, even indulged and guided by the August Emperor!

What the heck is a behind-the-scenes scheme?!

The August Emperor straightened up slightly, exuding the aura of a true big shot, leaving the Nine-Headed Clan breathless.

"I came here—is this also in your calculations?"

The Nine-Headed Clan sighed lightly, truly feeling the terror of the August Emperor.

His cross-era layout and planning, though scattered moves, affected myriad ages.

Thus it is clear that Nüwa's great undertaking of rebellion is truly a heavy burden and long road……so difficult!

Even her acting against reincarnation and her unique creation of humanity, bearing the human way, are all under the August Emperor's control!

If so, then laying out in reverse……the means were already left in the Dragon-Phoenix Era, specifically to bring about this day for the human way!

"Boom—"

Within the era, fortune flows and merit surges.

In terms of amount, these fortune and merit are immensely huge, hardly differing from the merit that flooded the heavens when Nüwa created humanity.

Moreover, with comparable amounts, there is some connection that makes the Nine-Headed Clan's body tremble and repeatedly retreat, giving a feeling of unstable foundations.

"Humanity!"

"This……"

"Buzhou Youchao Real Estate Conglomerate?"

The Nine-Headed Clan changed color, sensing an ominous aura.

He discerned the source of this fortune and merit, wondering under what name it stands in the torrent of ages.

That is actually a conglomerate!

It was a massive conglomerate that Nüwa set up in her youth, controlling all land transactions and construction in the entire Honghuang universe……thus Nüwa could bear the title of Houtu!

The latter, also an emperor!

The so-called Houtu is the sovereign of earth, the master of the land!

Nüwa is worthy of such a title……because she truly accomplished this.

She once swept across half an era, controlled the land resources of the Honghuang universe, excavated value, and incorporated them into the development of heaven and earth and the construction of the human way.

Only later, when the Heavenly Court's industry upgraded, did she depart from that stage.

——This is a brief record in the Records of Honghuang.

But behind the scenes, it's not that simple?

Filled with too much maneuvering.

Youchao Real Estate was mighty, initially the main force of Honghuang development, but later became a burdensome baggage, possibly becoming a drag on the era.

Thus the August Emperor Heavenly Emperor struck ruthlessly, exterminating kin, confiscating even his younger sister's property, driving Nüwa to weep as she ascended the heavenly platform, shouting she wanted to jump down.

Swift blade cuts tangles, short pain better than long……the Heavenly Emperor is ruthless, his resolute will shocking, with no hesitation or retreat, all for the era's development.

Finally, the August Emperor reaped an astronomical sum of fortune and merit……all earned by Nüwa's hard work.

Nüwa was shattered, yet she could do nothing but grit her teeth, endure hardship, swear to heaven, and vow to strike back one day.

——She did it!

When the Dragon-Phoenix Era ended, humanity and the August Emperor broke apart, a series of heaven-shaking, earth-splitting events occurred; later generations could not discern the truth, only knowing that Pangu fell, amidst the chaos of time, the merit of Opening Heaven was born.

And this merit was ultimately arranged by Nüwa!

But there are many doubts in this.

Opening Heaven……what merit could there be?

Fortune or merit, they are merely abstract expressions of an era's labor force.

Opening Heaven is like building a house—mere construction, where's the profit?

It must be sold or rented; circulated, with someone willing to pay, only then does it have value.

Otherwise, it's pure debt, too late to dodge!

House renovation and later maintenance……all cost money!

What's the use of giving you a mansion?

If you don't allow buying, selling, or leasing, can you afford the property fees?!

The same principle applies to humanity.

Creating humanity—what merit could there be?

Initially it's definitely a loss, with Nüwa spending money to drum up business.

Later, when humanity grew……only then did it have net income, becoming a sound asset.

So……where does the August Emperor's Opening Heaven merit come from?

It doesn't exist.

There is only the accumulated wealth of the Dragon-Phoenix Heavenly Court, plus temporary overdrafts from the human way, merely a fiscal deficit.

They transform into supreme power, aiding Honghuang's universal ascension and attainment of the Great Luo.

If one can attain the Dao, then one verification is eternal verification, one achievement is eternal achievement; the question of repaying debts is never a problem……because at that time Honghuang would not go bankrupt!

An industry that can endure forever, as long as it's not recklessly tossed about, will find willing buyers, and shareholders will also be at ease.

Clearing debts is nothing out of the ordinary.

——This is normal.

But, something abnormal happened.

The Human Way and the August Emperor severed ties; the August Emperor turned and ran ashore, refusing to repay the money, leaving with the remaining balance… It's hard to say there isn't an old father driven mad by a brat, just to let the Human Way taste society's harshness.

——Family members are willing to talk honesty with you, but once you're in society, you must watch out for scams!

Just……

These merits, in the end, the August Emperor could not take them away.

No one knows what earth-shattering war took place; in the end, a Dao incarnation of Pangu fell, prospering Honghuang and shaping the myriad beings.

At the same time, those luck-merits changed their name, becoming Opening Heaven Merit, held by Nüwa, and poured into the era of the Witch Demon.

Part of it supported the Wu Clan's construction, being military expenses.

Part went to the Three Pure Ones as advertising fees, letting them promote Pangu's image and endorse the Wu Clan.

The final part fell to humanity, achieving boundless merit of creating mankind, letting humanity take off immediately and begin a magnificent, sweeping epic.

The accounts are crystal clear.

——Fengxi once thought so.

But at this moment, at this instant……

The August Emperor told him——

No!

It's not that simple!

The August Emperor smiled, his eyes playful, as if he were about to speak.

And the Nine-headed Clan also understood the deep meaning in that Heavenly Emperor's eyes.

——Foolish child.

——You guess……

——What components make up this Opening Heaven Merit that Nüwa 'picked up'?

——Behind this, is there a mark? Is there a clear indication of its flow destination?

——If this merit came from the bankruptcy and confiscation of the Youchao Real Estate, and the profits from its operation later, then is that the Opening Heaven Merit that Nüwa later 'picked up'?!

This is a hair-raising matter.

Others don't know.

Anyway, the Nine-headed Clan is in a state of utter confusion.

As the second Master of the Luck Dao, when the August Emperor laughed and unveiled this scheme, he immediately saw through it…… His words are never false!

The numbers match, the quantities are similar.

The evidence is as solid as a mountain, hard to refute.

Even if Nüwa came to explain, it would be useless…… You say it's picked up, then it truly is picked up, right?!

The loser came to claim it, with surveillance as proof, with accounts as proof!

Justice lies in the heart; right and wrong, the truth, are right before our eyes.

Of course.

The Human Way can renege, can deny, can default on debts.

But how could he do that?

Countless sacrifices, countless contributions, millennia of devotion—all just to be the rightful head of the household.

Now, if it's a false denial, relying on trickery to win……

What need is there to talk about the radiant Holy Way and autonomous Human Way?!

The Nine-headed Clan cannot lie, cannot deceive its own heart.

Because, breaking the bottom line makes no difference between zero times and countless times.

From the moment he represented the myriad beings of the Human Way, he needed to become a savior sage, a model for the myriad beings.

So he could only silently withdraw, to escape the August Emperor's scheme, slowly rethink, and then rally again.

However……

"Too late!"

"Marshal!"

The August Emperor smiled, pointing a finger between heaven and earth, shaping the status of the Earth Emperor.

To whom does the Earth Emperor belong?

Nüwa is deserving of it.

This is still not the point.

The point is, the support of the Earth Emperor!

And it turns out to be the formerly settled Youchao Real Estate!

This is an eternal pain in Nüwa's heart, confiscated by Fuxi.

But, at this moment!

The August Emperor intervened, and it reappeared, reviving from deathly stillness, returning from bankruptcy.

But for the Nine-headed Clan, this is certainly not a good thing.

Because it's a puppet, the August Emperor's white glove!

A shell company, is the August Emperor's reverse takeover via a shell.

As a legal person, Nüwa has no power or influence, and is still being used to suppress the Human Way!

Shaking the underworld's reincarnation system, re-determining the ownership of the human race!

Especially the latter!

That is an unimaginable heavy blow!

Because, when a dust-covered account book is lifted, the clear flow of all qi fortune and merit becomes visible; countless causations turn into lines, connecting and binding the form of the Nine-Headed Clan.

Nüwa's dharma aspect stands with vacant eyes on the Honghuang land, like a mechanical puppet, yet it seals off all paths of life for the Human Dao.

Human race.

It succeeds because of this, and also fails because of this.

It was accomplished by Nüwa, supported development and rose, ultimately becoming the vessel for the brilliant spiritual dream of the Human Dao, wielding a sword to question the gods.

But, ultimately it may also fail because of this.

Because, there is debt to be repaid!

Nüwa was negligent; when 'picking' the opening heaven's merit, she didn't calculate her brother's cunning degree, retreating to advance, it's like laying a long line to catch a big fish.

——What's the big deal about dealing with a Nüwa?

——I even dealt with the Human Dao together!

——Without the Human Dao's help, does Nüwa still want to overturn heaven?

——Just flip the palm and suppress it!

The Human Emperor at this moment feels powerless; he finds it hard to wield his sword against the August Emperor.

Otherwise……

Owe debt and still hit people?

What kind of upbringing is this!

Covered in blood from being screwed by Nüwa's mistake, yet he cannot say anything, nor can he complain.

Nüwa created the world, transformed reincarnation, gave the Human Dao new life... even if due to insufficient scheming and city mansion, she lost to Fuxi, implicating the Human Dao...

What can the Human Dao complain about?

【Where is the road?】

The Nine-Headed Clan exhausts wisdom, barely sustaining.

His path of life is few.

Human race, although it reached the Dragon-Phoenix era, dropped pawns, shaping the Five-Colored Human Race.

But soon, the situation reversed; in the Heavenly Emperor's casual talk, it was cast into the abyss.

Everything seems to return to its original trajectory.

Even if the Five-Colored Human Race appears, it's only a fleeting bloom, unable to shake the big picture.

Even more, they will be sealed and suppressed in this era, their traces cleansed, returning to history!

By then, the human race will have lost, lost completely—just go back and train for a few more eras!

「Unwilling... really unwilling... 」

The Human Emperor sighs.

To get to today, he has paid too much, bearing the cost of the ten-thousand-year seal; his days will be harsher than the Dao Ancestor's, forever suppressing the Human Dao's qi fortune.

But, reality does not change with human will; in the end, one must rely on strength and ability to speak.

It is obvious that the August Emperor's skill is a notch above, worthy of the most renowned ancient great god, a supreme strategist for myriad ages.

Pressing Nüwa to the ground and rubbing, draining the source of the Human Dao... without seeing many weapons, they both lost almost equally.

Still lost without a shred of temper, clearly arranged.

In those years, the August Emperor had actually already repaid the debt—through Nüwa's hand.

The money taken away flowed back into the era of the Witch Demon.

But, he does not say!

Intentionally bearing the Human Dao's hostility, while also letting Nüwa see the hope of sitting on the family imperial throne, then at the moment they infinitely approached success……

Cut off the source!

Beforehand very proud, afterwards face planted on the ground!

Very ruthless, also an Absolute Kill!

「What to do? 」

「Accounts clear, debt collection……」

「On my side, I'm not unable to repay this money…… I believe in the glorious future of the Human Dao。」

「But…… I need time! Need a buffer space! 」

The Nine-Headed Clan murmurs inwardly, looking at the clamor of the August Emperor's Heavenly Court; that completely overturned the Supreme Emperor Divine Dynasty, the two sides' comparison is practically a father-son situation, like Laozi disciplining his son.

「God…… human……」

「Perhaps, I understand……」

When poor, change; when changed, flow.

After racking one's brains, the Nine-Headed had a flash of inspiration, seeing how to revitalize the chess situation.

Owing money……the problem is significant, yet not that significant.

Repaying money……is definitely doable.

Just for a moment, cash flow cannot keep up; indeed, it is being ordered by the August Emperor to repay within a deadline.

——While you're sick, I'll take your life!

Even if one says the August Emperor also owes humanity a debt……as proof of Pangu, overdrawing the future, the fiscal deficit is huge.

But, each matter should be settled separately!

When discussing the order of repayment, Having Nest Real Estate comes first!

When August Emperor refused to accept a settlement, offsetting the debts, wiping the slate clean, insisting on upholding procedure...... this left the Human Dao very passive.

However, the Nine-headed Clan suddenly understood something.

Actually......

He is not fighting alone!

"The Human Dao, is the greatest miracle."

The Nine-headed Clan's eyes shone bright; he suddenly looked levelly at August Emperor and said these words.

"Oh? And then what?" August Emperor dismissed it, "I who promote the achievements of creation, also want to overturn heaven?"

"Overturning heaven...... is naturally impossible."

The Nine-headed Clan smiled, "But...... the Absolute Earth Heavenly Passage, I think it's still possible!"

As his words fell, his figure explosively retreated!

The era was being tugged, the Supreme Emperor Divine Dynasty's epoch fell into chaos, heading back to the Witch-Demon Era!

No.

Not just that.

He was even still pulling, dragging the August Emperor Heavenly Court along!

"You're not trying to test me, are you?"

"Then let's come!"

"Go to my home turf!"

The Supreme Emperor laughed lightly, using respectful language, yet filled with a brand-new fighting spirit.

"I suddenly thought...... the Human Dao myriad races, all things have spirits, actually we shouldn't overlook a certain comrade."

"The Heavenly Dao having spirit means it is a member of sentient beings!"

"It...... is actually the eldest son, the finest and most outstanding, beneath Pangu, of the Human Dao!"
