It is precisely this seal of the August Emperor Heavenly Emperor that has manifested in this era; moreover, without any reason, it seeks to restore the Dragon and Phoenix Heavenly Court, ruthlessly crushing the witch-demon era into dust and negating all effort and struggle—this is what forcibly compels all beings to unite in heart, letting the gods willingly sacrifice themselves!

Governing a great nation is like cooking a small fish—one must not be impatient; one must simmer like warming water to boil a frog, patiently training, testing the bottom line step by step, advancing three steps and retreating two; otherwise, one will only provoke public outrage…… How could a heavenly emperor not understand this principle?

Cangta just got out of jail, afraid he doesn't realize how much the era has changed; the rival he once tried every way to kill has already risen from the coffin many years ago!

Moreover, he has been reaping the benefits all along, and prepared a great killer weapon for him.

Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle!

Such a tactic, if employed offensively, might not really be able to do anything to this generation's Dragon Ancestor.

But...

At the critical moment, a deadly strike!

In that situation, everything will be turned upside down, and all that fervent ambition will come to nothing!

Perhaps, all this is within the calculations of His Majesty August Emperor?" Di Hong said with a low laugh, "He has figured out Dragon Ancestor's nature; he will surely come to wade into this muddy water!"

Then... Cangke is reaping what he sowed.

Alas, alas!

A generation's Supreme Emperor, for his own dragon life, even without difficulties, must create them, face them head-on, to show true heroic nature!

To be honest... quite inspiring.

Yandi sighed.

【74> He too could only sigh.

He could only sigh.

Otherwise...

He would probably laugh out loud.

After all, he's undergone professional training; how could he laugh inappropriately?

Past cause, present effect, fate already decided.

Di Hong merely said this: "Cang will not let this opportunity pass… After all, in the dragon-phoenix era of old, he lost too unjustly, right?"

It's rare to see such an opportunity now; naturally, he acted impulsively.

Princess Nüwa, reversing creation, redefining order, even daring to scribble on the household register of His Majesty August Emperor—what a rare opportunity!

Dragon Ancestor waiting for this opportunity to enter the fray cannot be said to be wrong!

The divine form of the August Emperor Heavenly Emperor is a human body with a dragon tail—this is originally a continuation of cause and effect; after this Heavenly Emperor absorbed the essence of the Great Unification, evolving to give the opponent a token of respect.

Thus, although the profits go to him, after losing in the struggle against Pangu, being laughed at by Fuxi to the end, and managing to seize the patent, the authorship column of the work 'Great Unification' still wishes to be credited to Dragon Ancestor.

But Dragon Ancestor is not happy to accept this… The author is him, yet the copyright profits go to August Emperor—what kind of talk is this?

We need to think of a way, 'prove it'… For example, say that August Emperor is also a dragon!

It is a special kind of dragon!

This way, the concept of the dragon race spreads and is elevated; the original workers become shareholders, and the copyright profits, circulating around, will still end up with Dragon Ancestor.

The entanglement of cause and effect has turned into an alteration of bloodline ethnicity...

With Nüwa taking the lead, it's not impossible for Dragon Ancestor to really succeed.

If there weren't a trap prepared in here…

Di Hong sighed emotionally.

The actions of Dragon Ancestor Great Sage are naturally because there is profit to be had.

Now, he suppresses the Responding Dragon, and it has become a settled matter.

Regaining control over the dragon race is not difficult.

But he will return, to comfort the sacrifices of countless dragon heroes of this era—how could he stop here!

Without contending with Pangu, how can the wandering souls find peace!

But the August Emperor Heavenly Emperor's rampant tyranny makes it hard not to give rise to despair in people's hearts.

Until Nüwa's outbreak, the rewriting of creation, spurring him to act thoroughly.

On one hand, it is to jointly resist August Emperor and contribute one's effort.

On the other hand, it is also to have the opportunity to reap something in this process.

Unfortunately…

There is a trap.

Yet the dragon ancestor himself remains completely unaware.

How dark can some people's hearts become!

He staked everything on going to war, but it is merely the first step toward the abyss!

He is still advancing.

The Heavenly Emperor's angry rebuke, a solemn warning: do not be ungrateful, do not come seeking death, do not say I did not warn you in advance.

But this instead arouses the fighting spirit of the dragon ancestor.

The true form of Dragon Ancestor Great Sage still exists in this age of lich, but that sharp edge has already shattered the barrier of the era, entering the dragon-phoenix age!

Boom—

The vast and boundless dharma form of the dragon rises in the endless ages; he roars through myriad ages, shakes the Myriad Heavens, entwined with wind and thunder, surrounds clouds and rain, seven-colored mystic light as scales, and the authority of the seven great innate true waters flashes wildly.

The true dragon strikes across the ages, transcending eternity; at this moment, he is fighting side by side with the Nüwa Emperor, doing similar things.

But Nüwa is going to edit the relatives column on the household register.

But the dragon ancestor is sneakingly adding an annotation to Fuxi regarding the race!

He truly has the ability to accomplish this unbelievable task.

Because…

Everyone is like a dragon!

All beings transform into dragons!

The dragon race, without a doubt, is special.

It is only because of this clan that, besides proper lineal mating and reproduction, it can also join through evolution from various clans!

No matter what your background was.

As long as you cultivate the dragon-transformation scriptures to a certain degree, you can shed your original clan and join the Dragon Clan!

All living beings are like this.

Then…

What about the innately born divinities?

Theoretically, it is also feasible.

No… this should be easy!

Innate divinities, especially those who have attained Great Luo through proving the Dao, can break free from all clan constraints and embody any race!

In infinite spacetime, eternally free, holding the administrator's permit for Honghuang heaven and earth, is such transcendence.

Altering the backend data to change one's origin race… this is not difficult at all.

In the Witch-Demon era, they have already given the best proof.

They can be demon gods, great shamans, or heroes of the human race!

Having reached such achievements, innate origin is insignificant; only the postnatal choice, heartfelt identification with a clan's civilization and support for that race's path, determines true allegiance.

This is a proper operation.

It is obvious that, at the Dragon Ancestor's place, this is an improper act.

He holds the contract, sorts out karma…… even though the August Emperor is transcendent, he will forcibly drag him down and assimilate him as a major branch of the Dragon Clan!

"Dragon Master… Dragon Master!"

In the torrent of vicissitudinous ages, it is a flash of a sacred contract.

The Dragon Ancestor Great Sage ignited the Dragon Clan's fate, confusing the past and resetting creation.

He possesses such ability.

If one speaks of Nüwa's Way of Creation, it ranks first in Honghuang.

The Dragon Ancestor who can create the Way of Dragon Transformation is second in Honghuang!

The two supreme divinities of the great Ways of Creation launched an alternative confrontation with the Heavenly Emperor, simultaneously opening war in the Witch-Demon epoch and the Dragon-Phoenix era, calling for the sun and moon to renew the heavens!

"What a Nüwa!"

"What a Dragon Ancestor!"

The August Emperor is furious.

He is the supreme Heavenly Emperor who looks down upon an era; who in the world can rival him?

Yet now, being thus provoked by two former 'defeated underlings', it is utterly a disgrace!

"You don't know life or death… do you really think I can't handle you!"

"Without proving Pangu, I do not know the view of the realm I stand in!"

"With just this bit of ability, you're still far off!"

"The Nine-Headed Clan have already bled in my era; I'm not afraid of adding two more wandering souls of yours!"

The Heavenly Emperor's gaze is icy cold, freezing the human heart.

"Alter creation, chaos karma?"

"A mere bit of demonic trickery and underhanded means also dares to climb onto my head?"

"Submit to execution!"

The Divine Axe opens heaven; it shatters all tangible and intangible concepts!

In the past, it could create the world.

Now it can destroy everything!

Even if it cannot erase Honghuang's concepts, the 'supplementary notes' beyond it—the evolution of the Great Dao—can also be ended!

Where the axe's edge points, it is Nüwa, it is the Dragon Ancestor.

It can be known that this Heavenly Emperor has totally aroused killing intent.

But Nüwa is very joyful.

"Look!"

"You're panicking, you're panicking!"

The Azure Lotus sways; Nüwa's Great Dao advances, having penetrated deeply enough in the Dragon-Phoenix era, weaving new karma; upon this axe strike, the whole person struck is flung sideways, and suddenly a huge bump appears on the head.

Nevertheless, she remains utterly carefree.

Influenced by Fengdu, enlightened by the Human Dao, this female sage, her knots are undone, but……

It seems……

But the person……

Not quite right!

She has let go.

She has let go!

In a distant time and space, Haotian glared at Xuanyuan, his gaze suddenly turning unfriendly, "Is this how you resolve psychological shadows?"

"This also can't be blamed on me!"

Xuanyuan protested, "I'm sure there's no problem!"

"Believe me... I really am not a quack; I did my best to give Nüwa talk therapy!"

"Given her state, it really can't be blamed on me..."

"Maybe it's a rebound from her long-repressed emotions?"

Think about the bright side...

Such a Nüwa, even if she later fails, suffers setbacks, or perhaps won't take it to heart, will be very optimistic?

Xuanyuan is making a desperate excuse.

"You say, do I believe your nonsense?"

Haotian laughed angrily.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry... ah! Look quickly!" Xuanyuan raised his hand and pointed, "Cang will succeed!"

Taking advantage of Nüwa drawing fire, he will succeed!

"He can't succeed!" Haotian temporarily stopped paying attention to Nüwa's frivolity, merely sneered.

With a wave of his hand, a divine weapon trembles in the dark!

Divine Needle of Stabilizing the Sea!
