Chapter 829: with translation of chapter title

In a situation nobody expected, Nüwa, who was originally fighting side by side with the Dragon Ancestor Great Sage, turned against him, striking a treacherous blow, intending to suppress and kill the Dragon Ancestor!

She flew into a true rage!

A lotus of Chaos azure lotus swayed beautifully, dissolving the Three Thousand Great Daos; appearing soft, it condensed in Nüwa's palm, but wherever it passed, all concepts were obliterated, returning to nothingness!

Nüwa dealt a ruthless blow.

The curse "Thanks for nothing" still echoed through the ages, fully expressing Empress Nüwa's displeasure.

She let slip the crucial opportunity where the Dragon Ancestor stole the Heavenly Emperor's authority to weaken the August Emperor, then turned and defected, utterly unconcerned that she could become the beneficiary who reaps the fisherman's gain; she gave up the chance to reverse the situation while Xi was in peril. That decisive action, that vicious strike, made the Dragon Ancestor, who had been complacent, suddenly change expression, and every scale on his body stood on end——

A great crisis!

Nüwa's strike was absolutely aimed at killing the Dragon Ancestor!

"Nüwa! You're crazy!"

The battle situation shifted suddenly, and the Dragon Ancestor immediately fell into crisis, attacked from front and back.

Originally, seizing authority and assimilating a Heavenly Emperor into becoming the Dragon Ancestor was already entangled with the August Emperor's Great Dao; every moment was a bloody contest.

Now, a teammate has turned traitor, striking a backstab…… Who can bear this?

If it weren't for the Dragon Ancestor having just upgraded, standing in the state of leaping to Pangu, he would likely have died on the spot!

It must be said, the Dragon Ancestor Great Sage is truly extraordinarily powerful.

Throughout the Demon era, despite his stumbles and rises and falls…… At every critical moment, his figure could always be found among the peak positions.

Before slaying the Eastern August Emperor, he burst the Red Cloud Ancient God, reclaimed the Water Dao Emperor's authority, and moreover had the momentum of clouds following a dragon, perfect and flawless.

Before the post-Demon era began, he grasped the Heavenly Dao and the Legal Dao, was acknowledged by humanity as the dragon totem, and evolved into the twelve golden dragons.

Now, on the eve of the era's end, the Dragon Ancestor Great Sage boldly moved against the August Emperor as well, forcibly swallowing the emperor with dragon, tainting the Human Dao, and opening his own path of advancement!

Shady maneuvers, one after another, leaving people stunned repeatedly.

That's right……

As a price, it's somewhat life‑costing, and the grudges he's accrued are quite many.

After a great rise comes a great fall; the end of shady maneuvers is to invite a whole lot of trouble.

The outcomes of the two previous great rises were not very good.

Having slain Red Cloud and besieged the Eastern August Emperor, the result was being cut in half, his realm reduced to a blank slate.

Afterward, his lawless act of tainting the final authority over the Heavenly Dao and Legal Dao resulted in being suppressed by the Dao Ancestor beneath the era, making it hard to turn over.

Despite such cruelty, the Dragon Ancestor Great Sage ultimately did not give up!

On the stubborn, self‑destructive path, the Dragon Ancestor persevered throughout, pressing forward bravely!

All the gods looking could only see his back.

On the path of self‑destruction, who is the peak?

At the sight of the Dragon Ancestor, the Dao turns to void!

However, speaking of it, although the Dragon Ancestor truly is daring beyond heaven, stubborn to the extreme, daring to face the most brutal dragon life, his divine experiences are rich to the utmost, with none able to surpass him in excitement, his spirit more resilient……

But, in this process, his gains are also boundless.

Those who cannot kill him only make him stronger!

Finally, he firmly stood at the very end of the road of utmost sublimation leading to Pangu, almost only a step away from the long‑sought realm!

The tickets are in hand!

Nüwa is no different!

The Dragon Ancestor's life is not inferior to anyone's.

Cruelty is cruelty, but strength is truly strength.

At this moment, facing two opponents, he did not die on the spot.

Because in terms of methods and levels, the three venerable titans are hardly different.

Although the August Emperor may be stronger, don't forget that here he is merely a brand, and moreover the Dragon Ancestor has usurped his authority, altered his foundation, and carried out weakening.

The Dragon Ancestor Great Sage bled here, yet he endured…… Trying to suppress him is extremely difficult.

He could still shout questions and blame, directed at Nüwa.

"A treacherous strike, backstabbing a comrade…… Are you out of your mind?"

"Hah!"

Nüwa gave a cold smile, effectively masking a bit of unnatural awkwardness.

Facing the Dragon Ancestor's reproach, she actually did have a faint regret——was she having a brain spasm?

What a great development of the situation!

As long as she coolly watches the August Emperor and the Dragon Ancestor fight to the death, while she idles on the side, reaping the fisherman's benefit…… Best if they both perish together……

Isn't that pretty good?

How did she, with emotions aroused and blood rushing to her head, directly abandon the August Emperor and slay the Dragon Ancestor?

'Instinct killed Nüwa……'

'What a great opportunity…… to see the sly old brother capsize, I shall secure the familial throne……'

Nüwa indeed regretted.

However, this regret merely flashed through her mind for an instant, then faded.

She confronted her true heart, and arrogance rose.

'Even if I must win, I must win openly and honorably!'

'The sly old brother lacks benevolence, yet I cannot act unjustly!'

'In this world, only I can step on him to rise above; no one else can!'

——My brother can only be bullied by me!

Dragon Ancestor……

What the hell is this?

Playing tricks, pulling moves…… With such tactics, you beat down the August Emperor……

I, Nüwa, do not support this; I really do not support it!

「If you can defeat my Fuxi's noble, righteous fairness, then I have nothing to say—I'm inferior, losing is deserved. 」

Feeling conflicted, Nüwa who had angrily struck Dragon Ancestor said in an old‑fashioned way, 'But, Dragon Ancestor, your power‑grabbing scheming…… should just be dropped!'

She considered herself Fuxi's mother; this remark left the August Emperor speechless, he immediately withdrew, wanting to quit the team and let the dogs fight each other.

However, compared to him, Dragon Ancestor is the one who was more shocking throughout the year.

「You……」 Dragon Ancestor's hair stood on end with rage; he felt like vomiting blood from being blocked by Nüwa's words, and indeed he was actually vomiting blood—hit on the head by a blue lotus, his whole body shook, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, 'You fucking have a problem!'

「Your level! Your scheming! Your calculations! 」

「It's been a thousand ages! Ten thousand eras! In Fuxi's place, you're pure cannon fodder, the kind that gets harvested back and forth! 」

Dragon Ancestor was furious.

After countless calculations, I never expected the matched teammates to be this terrible.

The Pangu Peak Tournament, as it went on, turned into a madman's competition.

What time is it now?

Still talking about integrity?

Still talking about fairness?

In war, deceit is acceptable!

Did a donkey kick your brain?!

What breed of donkey?!

Come on, tell me!

And most importantly……

I think you can't beat Fuxi either!

If you want to win, yet you still talk about hammer‑like fairness—purely giving away heads!

Nüwa's face turned pitch black in an instant.

Fuck!

Who talks like that?

That hits too hard.

However, she didn't lose her temper just because of the Dragon Ancestor's critique…… the enlightenment from Fengdu still had some use.

It let her properly gauge the gap in wrist‑level ability with her brother, and for a moment she almost just gave up and lay flat.

The gap objectively exists.

Even so.

Nüwa also straightened her mind, upheld the bottom line of integrity, and did not consider using despicable means to seize Pangu's authority.

——Except for a bit of joking, letting Fuxi call her mother.

「Whether you can win is one matter. 」

「How you do it is another matter! 」

Nüwa's campaign against Dragon Ancestor, her tone calm, 'Losing is acceptable.'

「To win, like you, stealing others' authority and achievements just to elevate yourself…… that's not allowed! 」

「Yes, that's right. 」

「I've been oppressed by Fuxi, and I have strong objections to him. 」

「But objectively speaking, he has governed Honghuang for many years, doing only proper deeds, possessing supreme merit. 」

「If so, this past cannot be tarnished, recklessly altered, turned into nourishment for others' elevation. 」

「Public is public, private is private. 」

「I have personal grudges against him, but in public affairs…… I still admire him quite a bit. 」

Nüwa said this, even feeling a bit embarrassed herself, wanting to find a crack to crawl into.

That's what she truly feels, but she's too shy to say it out loud.

But after thinking it over, she still said it, making Dragon Ancestor understand clearly through the beating.

——You use immoral means to attack my idol…… if I don't beat you, who will I beat?!

Nüwa defends the purity of Fuxi's Dao lineage.

This is surprising, yet also reasonable.

As a younger sister, admiring a capable older brother…… that's perfectly normal!

If Nüwa had any regrets…… it would be that this older brother could refrain from aiming his schemes at her, repeatedly harvesting her…… that would be best!

She opposes Fuxi as an older brother, yet she holds great reverence for Fuxi as the Supreme Heavenly Emperor, hoping to become his object of worship.

A perfect split—heart convinced, mouth not.

It's awkward, but it's the real Nüwa.

At the crucial moment, Dragon Ancestor thus suffered a critical hit.

「You…… are too twisted! 」 Dragon Ancestor coughed blood, fighting Nüwa while also resisting the August Emperor's backlash on the source, «It's practically a joke among rebels!】

「Let it be a joke, I don't care. 」 Nüwa said seriously, 「I just hope to teach by word and deed, so people understand. 」

「Some struggles need a bottom line. 」

「We are gods. 」

He is a saint.

He is the founder of cultivation.

He is the pioneer of civilization.

He is the guide of myriad beings.

We are the idols of humanity and myriad beings.

Every move we make will inevitably have a trickle-down effect, with far-reaching influence.

As idols, as role models, we can compete, but we cannot compete without any limits.

Slander, tampering, theft… these are actually improper.

Especially when we reach the final stage.

If even Pangu's achievements were based on the foul conspiracy seeping from his pores, with a heart of infinite darkness, relying on stealing the fruits of victory to prove himself… rather than because of boundless merit, blessing countless eras and innumerable beings, thereby proving the Dao…

What meaning would such a Pangu have for Honghuang and for myriad beings?

Playing tricks to prove Pangu… it could work, but we cannot do it that way.

Otherwise, we would lead humanity astray.

Nüwa sighed.

It's not that the strong are right, the winner is right; rather, justice resides in the human heart, and reason is reason itself!

These words are all from the heart of the Empress Nüwa.

Her voice was not loud.

Dragon Ancestor could not accept—damn teammates screwing me over.

The gods felt it not deeply— they are still far from Pangu.

Instead, there was a certain human dao essence, standing blankly before reincarnation, toes gripping the ground, wishing to dig out a three-bedroom apartment right away to hide himself inside.

Every word pierces the heart!

Emperor Hong's face showed no expression, he remained silent, only his eyes darting incessantly.

In this life, he has never felt so ashamed.

After a long while, he stretched out his hand to cover his face and let out a long sigh.

…

Just for this damn reason, you turned against me?

Dragon Ancestor roared, "If that's the case, then let's see the real skill in our hands!"

You siblings, colluding in wickedness, really think you can win just like that?

You also greatly underestimated me!

Dragon Ancestor roared through the ages, his roar moved the epochs, he pounced upon the river of time, the final battle took place at the peak of the Great Dao.

He simultaneously faced the pressure of two peak powerhouses, and they were even a pair of siblings!

Although their family feud was intense, they could not join forces; indeed, they were even secretly clashing now, and could not fully unite to slay Dragon Ancestor.

However, when attacking Dragon Ancestor, each of their Great Daos faintly resonated, a spontaneous, instinctive complementarity that amplified their combat power, inflicting bloody wounds upon Dragon Ancestor.

Fuxi, as the Lord of the Yi Dao, is omniscient; Nüwa, as the Lord of Creation, is omnipotent; together they are omniscient and omnipotent… this is too hard to deal with!

At the same level, looking across the three thousand deities of Honghuang, a team capable of opposing such abilities… perhaps only the combination of the Three Pure Ones.

The Three Pure Ones master creation, preservation, and end, cycling endlessly; the rise and fall of the Great Dao lies within them, forming a complete cycle, their Dao boundless!

Unfortunately.

In this era, the Three Pure Ones are still developing, they have not yet earned the qualification to contend for Pangu.

Thus, the sibling duo of Hei Zhuang is invincible wherever they go!

Even if they have not fought side by side completely.

But as long as they simultaneously target one person, it is enough to beat them to a bloody pulp!

However, Dragon Ancestor is no ordinary figure.

He can bear a people, struggle to this extent; even in versions repeatedly weakened, he still presses forward… what kind of mettle and talent must he have?

It is absolutely astonishing!

Having encountered drastic changes, mistakenly entering Hei Zhuang, with the times collapsing, he still has not given up, and is even attempting a counterattack!

While fending off Nüwa's conquest, he expands his dharma form, chanting the ancient divine language.

For thousands of generations, may the Dragon Dao flourish forever!

The divine language echoed through the ages, spanning two eras, and even spreading downstream along the river of time.

Thus, another great power was drawn in as well.

Chuyin… Zhulong…

Our past karma… consider it, will you?

Dragon Ancestor let out a long sigh in the void.

Many karmic ties were already formed in the era of Dragon and Phoenix.

In the era of the Wraiths, the Great Saint Zhulong gazing at the battlefield of the quasi-Pangu, at this moment his eyes were strange and complex, he whispered softly.

Cang…

Are you really willing to sacrifice that?

By severing and gifting the origin of the Dragon Dao, may I have the position of Dragon Ancestor?

In exchange, I will act, fish for the ages, and penetrate all epochs…

This sacrifice is too great…

The Great Saint Zhulong murmured.

It is natural! In the dimness, it was the Dragon Ancestor echoing, "My old comrade-in-arms, let us fight side by side again!"

The dragon race, defiled by the petty Responding Dragon, and temporarily assimilated the Azure Heaven; counting me, there are three Dragon Ancestors... In that case, what harm is there in adding one more?

I invite you to join; all karma will fall upon me, and I will bear it myself!

Is it worth it? Perhaps one cannot defeat the August Emperor. The Candle Dragon advised.

My mind is made up! The Dragon Ancestor replied decisively.
