Chapter 825
The heavens and earth vast, the Milky Way trembling, plants bowing, all beings praying.
At this moment, Nüwa stands atop the world, surrounded by boundless blessings, so sacred, so majestic.
She fearlessly faced Haotian, fighting for this era, every move seeming to prove a word—
As a mother, she is strong!
She is the holy mother of creation and all beings, possessing the compassion to bury myriad spirits; often humble, kind-hearted, down-to-earth, diligent and conscientious in her work, causing many to overlook her sharpness.
But at this moment she steps forward, guarding the era, yet her sharpness is fully revealed, swinging her fist at the most domineering power, to carve out a sky!
"Clang!"
The Heavenly Emperor's divine axe in his hand trembled, terrifying and sharp axe-light bursting forth, shattering one Milky Way after another, making the Honghuang great universe tremble……What does this prove? Facing such a Nüwa, Haotian can no longer stay calm.
"Finally……"
He murmured in a voice barely audible, flashing by in an instant, too fast for the gods to hear clearly, drowned by the overwhelming magical power.
People could only know that after a brief silence, it was the Heavenly Emperor's wrath.
"Little Nüwa, your wings have truly hardened."
The sovereign spoke softly, seeming calm, yet it made countless beings' hearts and spirits tense, foreboding a raging torrent that would shatter myriad worlds……This is a shocking killing intent, unrivaled across the three realms and six paths!
"You've grown strong, I'm pleased; but I don't like your tone of speech."
"It seems, it's time to awaken within you the irrevocable authority that belongs to me……"
I will suppress you, imprison you at the Western Peak, and let you calm down for a while!
The Heavenly Emperor's gaze is deep and profound, awe-inspiring to heart and soul.
He seemed to have become utterly serious, no longer the carefree, easygoing attitude he had when slaughtering gods indiscriminately before; he truly regarded Nüwa as an opponent requiring his full effort to subdue.
This shift in attitude made Nüwa immediately feel an immense, boundless pressure.
Even if the whole world and era stood behind her in support, it could not dispel the terror and boundless fear in her heart.
Because……
Haotian, the Heavenly Emperor, also has the blessing of this era!
Yandi's maneuver bestowed part of the power of the human Dao upon Haotian……Even if Nüwa had home advantage, she hardly had any edge.
The home advantages cancel each other out, leaving only personal strength……But Haotian, facing Nüwa, has amassed prestige over countless years, and that pressure is terrifying!
For a moment, the supreme aura enveloped Nüwa's form, making her feel as if plunging into an abyss, as though returning to the age of dragons and phoenixes, when Haotian ruled the cosmos and looked down upon the gods.
Even as mighty as she, she had to bow her head tremblingly, looked down upon by the supreme Heavenly Emperor, becoming a brick of the era—moved wherever needed, with no room for dissent.
The entire era, the whole heaven and earth, were stamped with the mark of one person; standing within it, one felt that the vast world was all enemy!
Cold seeped into the marrow, malice shrouded the heart……At this moment, Nüwa suddenly realized that even though she had just found hope to challenge Haotian,
In truth, deep down she remained timid, as before.
Power seizes, the divine awes.
Such a Nüwa, even with peerless cultivation, theoretically able to challenge Haotian, would still be utterly overwhelmed and beaten!
This is a suppression on the food chain!
She watched helplessly as a heaven-splitting axe, striking head-on, directly shattered the Qiankun divine cauldron and came down upon her!
Nüwa wanted to move, but she couldn't move at all.
Haotian triggered the eruption of all the psychological shadows buried in her heart!
This battle is fundamentally unfair.
It can be said that, long ago, there were already foreshadowing clues left.
Fuxi schemed the world, and Nüwa's rebellious heart never concealed itself—how could there be no counter? Long ago a divine ability was hidden in wait!
If they truly faced off, Haotian's murderous intent would truly be an axe striking a little Nüwa!
At this moment, for Nüwa, perhaps the only good news is that when the axe reaches her head, she shifts her posture, turning the blade upward and striking purely with its blunt side.
This is a kind of charity.
Not harming, not killing, it is merely a "head‑blow warning", giving her a bump on the head.
But even if Nüwa clearly knows how this will play out, what can she do?
She cannot resist!
"Don't be afraid."
Until a warm, pure thought, like a gentle stream, flowed over Nüwa's heart.
Instantly, she felt herself come alive again.
In the narrow margin between victory and defeat, a moment seemed to become eternity; a special existence pulled her back from the brink of being frozen to death by the utmost patriarchal authority, brushed away all her negative psyche, and let her heart shine anew, lively and spirited.
"Fengdu!"
Her thoughts flickered, boundless joy and openness.
"You've come back too…… I thought there had been an accident, that I couldn't save you!"
"It was just a mishap……" that will laughed lightly, "I merged too deeply with the human Dao; Your Majesty's soul‑summoning technique works, but on my way back I inevitably encountered some setbacks—please forgive me."
Speaking those words of repentance, on the blood‑stained land and rivers, Yandi silently wiped a bead of cold sweat from his forehead.
He is not having it easy either.
One person playing two roles almost gave himself away.
Fortunately, these hard days will soon pass; afterward…… it will depend on Nüwa's mood—once she knows the truth, whether she cries or laughs, whether she kills him or cuts him.
However, no matter how difficult, the work that must be done still needs to be done.
——Pangu flawless!
Whether strength or spirit, both are perfect.
The era's blessing lets Nüwa ascend to the utmost peak.
But the regret in her spirit is a major weakness of Nüwa.
To others, she is optimistic and upward, capable of anything.
Only when facing Fuxi did she suffer a lifetime of loss, and the psychological shadow came out.
This problem needs to be solved.
Trigger the problem, solve the problem, pay attention to the mental health of the Daluo leaders, jointly build a harmonious Honghuang!
The August Emperor stirred up the dissatisfaction once hidden in Nüwa's heart, while Fengdu helped her to guide and resolve it.
In the gentle radiance of spirit, Fengdu stirred the power of humanity, that boundless vastness letting Nüwa's spirit momentarily leap out of the life‑and‑death showdown.
And the transcendent state of mind that reflects all beings and bears countless sins with calmness guides Nüwa to resonate, to leap out of the lowly status struggle, and to fight for the purest practice of her divine worth.
Nüwa originally possessed such potential.
She created myriad beings, mother of all living things.
In a sorrowful age, she remade the rules of reincarnation.
She has always been practicing her own path, proving her worth, transcending the lowly.
However, the August Emperor's awe weighed too heavily in her heart, gradually forming a knot, becoming an obstacle she could not bypass.
In this regard, others cannot yet guide her—having not tasted others' suffering, do not urge others to be good.
Only Fengdu, such a special existence, can give her a sufficiently profound shock!
In the era of witches and goblins, Nüwa single‑handedly raised humanity, bringing it a little warmth, lighting the lamp of reincarnation in the dead stillness—a good medicine for regret.
And humanity also gave her an answer sheet, the fruit borne in reincarnation, a transcendence of the spirit.
They fulfilled each other, walking toward the beauty each hoped for.
At this moment, Fengdu bestowed upon Nüwa a beautiful gift of humanity—a flower of truth, goodness, and beauty that blossomed despite countless sins and despair, never having been abandoned.
Bearing sins, yet still pressing forward, bit by bit they welcomed the dawn of setting things right.
What more, what is Nüwa's situation?
In an instant, Nüwa was in reincarnation!
The spirit's reincarnation takes only a moment; she faced the past, instantly broke free of the August Emperor's bonds, and leapt to a brand‑new level!
"Huh?"
The August Emperor showed surprise, seemingly not expecting such a change.
But his reaction was swift; the divine axe's edge shocked the world, the blade chopped down without hesitation.
But this time, Nüwa… is different!
"Whoa!"
A lotus seed sprang forth from nowhere, taking root in the void, sprouting, growing from the all‑pervading sea of Dao, and became a lovely green lotus!
Chaos green lotus arises!
This seems to metaphor Nüwa's life journey: rising from the mire unstained, even if bullied and oppressed by the 'Ten Thousand Evils' elder brother, infected and influenced, she still kept herself, clung to her path and principles, a pure green lotus revered and praised by all gods!
The green lotus swayed, facing the infinite‑sharp axe that splits heaven.
It is very fragile, appearing as delicate as a breeze could snap it, as if a little force could shatter and destroy it.
However……
Yet such a green lotus blocked the heaven‑splitting divine axe, preventing it from advancing even an inch!
The August Emperor was moved, gazing closely; through this green lotus he seemed to understand something, perceiving Nüwa's mental path.
He furrowed his brows, withdrew the divine axe, feeling some reluctance but mostly relief.
"It seems you have figured it out."
The Heavenly Emperor sighed softly, "My eldest princess, you have grown up."
"Since you can let go of your knot and accept reality, I will, for now, give you face and spare this era once."
"Although you failed to restore the dragon and phoenix, yet you know to respect your brother's teachings, heed his admonitions, recognize faults and correct them… I can allow you to govern heaven and earth, adjusting the age bit by bit until you become the model I approve."
Between the lines, he looked like meat rotting in a pot, haphazardly getting by.
Nüwa has broken free of the "lowly" struggle for family status, which is good, and he can now relax.
Such a Nüwa, having become like Pangu, would she still merely follow his orders? When the August Emperor says one, would she not say two?
In theory, that is the case.
But……
"I have figured it out."
Nüwa lowered her eyelids, her thoughts pure, she earnestly condensed and cherished her life's past, guarding it carefully, "But I choose… to have it all!"
"I can be broad‑minded, calmly view the past, and smile at all that once was."
"But……"
"This is after I have truly, genuinely released my resentment!!!"
Nüwa suddenly raised her head, eyes wide round, "I have broken free of the lowly; from now on I will no longer think of overturning to become your sister."
"So……"
"Good child……"
"Come, call me Mom!"
The green lotus burst into bloom!
It knows no bounds, covering heaven and earth!
The August Emperor was bound at its center, time fell into disorder, ages collapsed, everything fell into chaos!
The ultimate enactment of creation, the passionate performance of reincarnation, in a daze the whole Honghuang seemed to move with it, heaven and earth were replaced, the Heavenly Emperor was in reincarnation!
August Emperor Fuxi, are the primordial deities.
And Nüwa, she became the master of heaven and earth, the mother of the Great Dao, nurturing all things, and naturally she also "nurtured" Fuxi!
Nüwa, she says it and does it!
She wants Fuxi to call her 'Mom'!
Time was pierced through, and after Nüwa's sublimation and transformation, her will was firm, her actions decisive.
A brand-new showdown, she discarded the burdens of the era, upholding the principle of striking straight at the yellow dragon, and went to engage in contention.
What dragon-phoenix era restoration, what August Emperor Heavenly Court returning……
She doesn't care about any of it!
Single-mindedly only to be a mother!
The origin of the era of humanity's birth, the source of the Dragon Master Azure Emperor Paoxi, has been tampered with and adjusted.
The nurturing of the innate holy Fuxi, with heaven as father and the Great Dao as mother, at this moment behind the scenes a pair of gentle and teasing eyes watches, someone rubs their little hands, resetting the foundation, defining the beginning.
"You dare!"
August Emperor raged, his true form moved, he stepped across the era, pursuing something.
"How could I not dare?!"
Nüwa was flying, transforming into eternal immortal light, surpassing all linguistic description.
"I now understand."
"How could I possibly win in a contest of wits with someone like you?"
"You don't know how many hidden moves are buried in this heaven and earth; the entire Honghuang is your Heavenly Mechanism Easy Way's home turf!"
"From now on, I face reality, acknowledge our gap, and will no longer have any ideas about managing and cultivating with you."
"But!"
"Creation!"
"Reincarnation!"
"This is my domain!"
"Tweak your origin, affect the trajectory of your reincarnation embodiment…… this is my specialty!"
"I've figured it out…… the right to speak in Honghuang is yours, you did well, what you say goes."
"I'm just a stinky little sister; wherever needed, I'll lie flat, no struggle."
"However……"
"If you dare go overboard, I'll become your mother!"
"Innately holy, innately born, the Dao starts from the Great Simplicity, no father, no mother…… right?"
"Then I'll occupy that source and become the mother of the Great Dao!"
"Supreme creation, resetting the spacetime cycle of reincarnation!"
At this moment, Azure Lotuses are countless.
It rises against time, steeped in the years, assimilating everything!
It is terrifying.
Because Nüwa at this moment has received too much recognition and support.
Even though this act is an infringement on the authority of the myriad gods, a rewriting of the origin of heaven and earth……
But, there are actually not many objections; everyone is supporting Nüwa!
Perhaps, this is just a little willfulness of the gods and the myriad beings.
Heavenly Emperor, you're awesome, you're amazing; even if we all go up together, we might not be able to beat you.
But, does this hinder us all from supporting Nüwa together, giving you some eye drops?!
Chaos Azure Lotus nurtures Pangu……
This can be had!
This behavior is quite unrefined, but I have to say, it actually works.
At the very least, the August Emperor, who runs rampant and domineering, invincible, can't even spare attention to deal with Nüwa, let alone the process of era restoration being affected!
The only flaw, perhaps, is that Nüwa might not succeed—because crossing eras, tracing origins, the dragon-phoenix era is a hurdle that cannot be avoided!
That is the Heavenly Emperor's home turf!
Nüwa brought the war to that era, also meaning she withstood the greatest danger.
But……
She is not fighting alone!
"How could such a fun thing lack me, the old dragon?"
With a loud laugh, the Dragon Ancestor Great Sage appeared, its dragon head as the spearhead, abandoning its original suppression of the Responding Dragon, changing opponents, its true form charging forth, shattering a vast expanse of ages!
"Azure!"
"You're courting death!"
August Emperor shouted coldly.
"This…… really is courting death!"
Yandi also gave a light sigh, "They say this is the Black Manor…… you dare to go in?"
