Chapter 838: with translation of chapter title translation, then ===GLOSSARY=== with list of named entities appearing in these lines

line: "Fellow Daoist, you are wise." Yan Emperor calmly affirmed the Dragon Ancestor's statement, giving him a sliver of hope that still lingered in his despair—a thought that he might have guessed wrong—and delivering the most crushing blow to his heart. No Chinese.

Fellow Daoist, you are wise. OK.

same as 【2】 but without quote. No Chinese.

Interpretation: Yandi calmly affirmed the Dragon Ancestor's statement, giving him, who still had a sliver of hope in despair, thinking he might have guessed wrong, the most thorough blow.

We need to keep meaning.

Let's craft: "Yandi calmly affirmed the Dragon Ancestor's words, delivering the most thorough blow to the hope that still lingered in his despair, the hope that he might have guessed wrong."

Make sure to include all info.

Thus line 1 translation: "【Fellow Daoist, you are wise.】 Yandi calmly affirmed the Dragon Ancestor's words, delivering the most thorough blow to the hope that still lingered in his despair—the hope that he might have guessed wrong."

We need to keep quotes? The Chinese uses 「」 for speech. We can keep English quotes. Use double quotes? We'll use English quotation marks.

"Ah, this isn't up to me to say." Yan Emperor chuckled, a smile on his face as he recalled a rare joy in this life—getting along with a conscientious good superior who gave him guidance, direction, and support in his growth: "If you want to criticize, you can't criticize me either!"

Translation: ""Ah, this isn't up to me to decide." Yandi smiled faintly, his face showing a hint of joy, as if recalling a rare happiness in this life—getting along with a conscientious good superior, being pointed out, guided, and helped to grow, "You may criticize, but you can't criticize me!""

All of these are good deeds done by Lady Nüwa.

Human Dao is not easy to become a spirit—He is powerful, yet also bloated; where could a unified self-consciousness arise?

If it could be unified, then there would be no need for any Heavenly Court!

In this era, the consciousness of Human Dao was originally vague and chaotic, lacking a clear self……otherwise, how could you all have such a blast?

Just that!

Nüwa pierced through the cycle of reincarnation!

She dragged the possible future human race into the era's chessboard!

This is interesting.

Equivalent to a historic meeting of Human Dao from different eras……and most importantly, it used the Wu Clan's path concept to carry out a certain directional guidance!

Then, an accident occurred!

Yandi said this, then paused, somewhat uncertainly adding, 'Perhaps it wasn't an accident? Fuxi set a trap, secretly guiding her? After all, Fuxi later gave me too much investment…'

Or perhaps it's the nostalgia of this era's Human Dao for past beauty? The latent consciousness drove history's progress—all beings are the creators of history!

As he spoke, he himself became a bit confused.

But for Dragon Ancestor, this amount of information was already enough.

Indeed!

It's the Black Manor siblings!

He fumed, feeling that being a dragon was too hard!

His opponent, seemingly divided yet united, one a covert layout behind the scenes, the other executing on the front lines, finally introducing the biggest cheat, blocking all competitors' paths!

Who benefits from the awakening of Human Dao?

Certainly not him, such a dragon supremacist, nor the Heavenly Court, that holy organization; even the Heavenly Dao isn't much better off.

On the contrary, as the creator, Fuxi could communicate with a sane Pangu, and some misunderstandings would drift away with the wind.

And Nüwa?

As a great minister who supported Human Dao from behind the scenes, she should be awarded a grand medal, and the future position of Pangu would be securely hers?

Dragon Ancestor's battered mind remained sharp, deducing the interest relations from mere fragments.

If he weren't the one being schemed against, he would likely cheer—this move, made outside the board, is an open and aboveboard yang plot that suppresses those of this era who constantly scheme for Pangu, those show-offs.

The more they strive for Pangu by unconventional means, the more they will be blacklisted by Human Dao.

But if they follow the righteous path……who could surpass the former Heavenly Emperor?

Moreover, with Nüwa's cooperative bond existing, in the end August Emperor and Human Dao could likely sit down for proper negotiations.

This method, I am convinced.

Dragon Ancestor let out a long breath, half crying half laughing, 'Not only does it touch the earth's qi, it also touches the underworld.'

He spoke with a double meaning.

He mingled with the masses of Human Dao, introduced future variables, and turned variables into quantifiable factors.

Besides that……

The operation is truly netherworldly!

'The merit of opening heaven is truly Nüwa's great victory—did it burst forth from August Emperor?' Dragon Ancestor gritted his teeth, 'I think that silly Nüwa was schemed against!'

'It's undeniable—August Emperor deliberately gave half and sent half; poor Nüwa still strutted about, at the dawn of the era her tail almost shot up to heaven!'

'Only with this merit of opening heaven can we offset the great karmic sanction of inter-era Human Dao communication, buying time to develop!'

This is something Dragon Ancestor couldn't accomplish.

In order to forcibly prove the Dao, he performed a similar operation……unfortunately, it failed.

If successful, he could run ashore.

If it failed……he had to transfer the debt, taking Yinglong to sacrifice to Heaven!

In theory, there's no problem with that.

But, the times have changed!

Human Dao has actually become a spirit!

Dragon Ancestor pondered his tragic situation, then muttered, 'Pah! I still wonder—when did the Phoenix Ancestor become so weak? The Great Nirvana Divine Ability, actually becoming so unfamiliar as to aid the enemy?!'

'Turns out it was premeditated all along! They're in cahoots!'

He realized it belatedly.

Nevertheless, it is still precious.

After all, he nearly pierced through all the deepest dark secrets of this era!

Relying on a few clues from Yandi, he forcibly deciphered many crucial points!

You should know, layouts like the merit of opening heaven were also obtained as secrets from this Heavenly Emperor's mouth during the Nine-Headed Clan's standoff with August Emperor.

But Dragon Ancestor directly perceived it.

Of course, this also relates to his recent undertaking of the abnormal Pangu path, in order to evade debt, personally experiencing drastic change, once sighing inwardly how great it would be to have a merit of opening heaven.

And Human Dao?

It has always been the creditor!

The Buddhist sect still owes him a huge sum!

The loans have been extended to the immeasurable Great Calamity!

In this light, the masses of Human Dao seem like a suckers, digesting the various bad debts caused by the gods' turmoil, leading to inflationary consequences.

The landlord's foolish son, he didn't run away.

'Dragon Ancestor Brother, you truly live up to being the mighty dragon who could wrist-wrestle with August Emperor's Imperial Elder Brother back then.' Yandi praised, 'You can actually see through so many subtleties.'

'Ha…haha!' Dragon Ancestor gave a wry smile, 'But what good is it?'

"This manor is too dark!"

"I've seen through it, but what good is that?"

He was angry, then despondent: "This is an unwinnable game, they keep tricking people like me in to kill!"

"That's not necessarily so." Yandi felt it necessary to explain a bit: "In fact, until Tai Huang achieves his accomplishment, this dark manor, though strong, cannot be called absolutely unsolvable."

"Even at the beginning, I was even weaker here." He felt somewhat regretful: "Yes, Nüwa introduced the future Human Dao, guiding spirit communication to attain essence."

"But at the start, I wasn't that strong either."

"I must become strong while adhering to the basic laws, which are the game rules of this era."

"How strong one can become depends on how strong the Wu Clan and humanity can be!"

"If I am the protagonist of heaven and earth, then I am the pinnacle of the world."

"If I am merely an ordinary clan in Honghuang, then I am not that strong; perhaps even waging war against ordinary Golden Immortals would be exhausting."

"I am indeed special, but there are actually many limitations; I am not as omnipotent as you imagine."

"When I first came into this world, I could only start from nothing; my meager cultivation was still a freebie from the Wu Clan's foundation."

"The remaining cultivation still requires me to strive, to work hard."

"Perhaps the only benefit I have is that my cultivation advancement has no shackles—as long as operations are good, I can increase infinitely, ultimately returning to the Human Dao and taking command of it."

"In this process, if I am defeated, killed, and the path I guard shatters, then I will likewise die, my consciousness scattering, yet still return to the Human Dao."

"Hongjun has the Three Corpses Method, the Demon Race has the Slay-Wu Sword, the Dragon Race has the Dragon-Transformation Dao... all of these can be considered specialized killings aimed at me!"

"You all can actually compete with Pangu... overall it's fair, there's no unbeatable situation."

Yandi sighed.

His origins are special.

But what of it?

Still, one must strive and follow the rules.

After all, the peak powerhouses of this era, in the future epochs, are mostly those who can achieve Pangu.

And to prove Pangu is to prove eternity.

But some are active, some lie low.

No matter how low one lies, they remain a deterrent presence.

The game rules are set; Honghuang is no one's personal fief—we must let everyone have fun, upholding basic fairness!

Who dares to cheat?

Want to overturn the table?

No rules? No martial virtue?

If nobody can play the game anymore, then we can only play you!

The Human Dao is fierce.

Spirit communication to attain essence has produced its spokespersons, incredibly awesome.

But one must still grow honestly!

Even at the start, the cultivation one brings in is the lowest; even the resources to achieve Golden Immortality must be sought by oneself!

Moreover, other Golden Immortals, if they lose in struggle, they lose; they can make a comeback in the next era.

Fengxi?

He simply cannot afford to lose!

If he loses, it means losing himself, even his self-will is erased!

"You have opponents; you must defeat rivals to reign supreme."

"And what great enemy do I not have?"

"The ancient era's karmic entanglements, the burden of resolving the resentment of the myriad beings... know that Fengdu is also me!"

He calmly spoke words that moved the Dragon Ancestor: "Walking that path of the Ghost Emperor, bearing the sins of the Human Dao, and for all lifetimes bound to the Human Dao, never to be severed."

"At the same time, one must find a way to resolve it and put it into practice... what price have I not paid?"

"In this life, I have died twice."

"The death in Fengdu was one."

"As Yandi, in order to eradicate Di Jun's backup, I died once more."

"Fortunately, there is the Lady."

"Each time, thanks to her, she bears the karma for me, endures the backlash, allowing me to return."

"So..."

"Dragon Ancestor Brother, you say, who isn't having a hard time?"

Yandi calmly said, "As for you all, I actually feel no psychological burden in striking anyone."

"Each relies on their own ability."

"But there is one person... who fills my heart with guilt."

"But that person is not you."

"Having suppressed you, I settle karma item by item, conclude past grievances, henceforth the case is closed."

"This is my duty."

"Please cooperate."

"Cooperate?!" the Dragon Ancestor Great Sage said, each word deliberate, the situation having come to a head, he became utterly resolute: "Only a dragon that dies in battle, none that surrenders!"

"Alas!" Yandi sighed, "Dragon, you are just too stubborn!"

"If you were willing to compromise a bit, it wouldn't have come to this, nor would it be so difficult."

You are strong, but too arrogant.

The Dragon's Great Dao, only I am supreme.

But, when you walk alone in solitude, others are forming alliances, exchanging resources...... what can you use to defeat all competitors?

You refuse to communicate with outsiders, merely taking others' Dao for yourself...... that is the root of your loss!
