Chapter 868: with translation of chapter title
This is a day destined to be engraved in the annals of history, to become an immortal myth.
On this day, the Heavenly Pillar broke, and Mount Buzhou, which once stood between heaven and earth, became a memory of the past.
On this day, the blood of the ancient gods soaked the mountains and rivers, with one Great Luo after another giving their lives to smooth the wounds of Honghuang, cleansing the myriad beings, letting all living things survive unscathed, even turning misfortune into blessing.
On this day, a goddess traversed heaven and earth, treaded through past, present, and future, gathered countless spiritual materials, and refined them into five-colored spiritual liquid.
On this day, the wilderness was burned, the Heavenly River steamed, all things returned to their proper course, everything seemed as before, yet a new chapter was opened.
Still on this day! Nüwa transformed into light, rushed toward the shattered firmament, sprinkled the five-colored spiritual liquid, and painted the unforgettable myth remembered in human dao—
Mending the Heaven!
This is the most beautiful picture in the memory of all beings.
It will never fade.
Until, a great hand reached out from the dim darkness, amidst a faint sigh, it picked up such a picture, gently rolled it up, and stored it properly.
At this moment, the surviving Great Luo divinities, each showing astonishment on their faces, felt that whether in past, present, or future, or in heaven and earth, there was nowhere to escape, enveloped by the will of a single person.
No way up to heaven, no door down to earth, Pangu manipulates the present, mountains and rivers reign supreme! Manipulating the epoch, playing with the ages, he is the sole, he is eternal!
At the most brilliant and splendid moment, all of spacetime was corrected, all variables converged into one, becoming constant, leaving only a single voice—the voice of Nüwa!
Nüwa stood at the origin of heaven and earth, also at the end of the years, unfathomable and indescribable, she turned all of Honghuang into her own paradise.
There was a hint of sorrow in her brows and eyes, at times a hint of joy appeared, joy and sorrow intertwined, making it hard to fathom this goddess's thoughts…… but she had a hand plunged into the void, as if severing and replacing someone's fate, just as she had clearly arranged for the Yangmei Great Immortal to deal with Di Jiang Zu Wu; this time she herself took action, as if to kill a person, to impersonate a person.
Such conduct caused her to undergo a tremendous terrifying change, having seized something, for a moment she seemed able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Honghuang.
At the same time, the Wā Emperor also had the most ruthless slaughter.
Reckoning!
Great Reckoning! With a single palm press, the world falls silent; it is a sweeping sweep, it is invincible!
Those who once jumped about happily, who opposed her, who imitated her, who tried to make clear the schemes she arranged, are all suffering!
Clang!
In the Sea of Blood, twin swords hummed, blood-light dyed the vast Honghuang red, accompanied by a wail, "Ah! I'm dead!"
This is the defeated Heaven-defying Nether River demon progenitor, when leaks meet endless rain, it's quite tragic.
Pfft!
Deep in the starry sky, the White Emperor, who had originally escaped by a hair's breadth, at this moment had his body shattered by a remote strike!
He struggled to resist, the Chaos Bell trembled, rolling the Shijian Changhe, launching an assault…… but Nüwa didn't even lift an eyelid, casually pointing her fingers like a sword, purple light brilliant, she drew a line across the starry sky——
The sea of stars turned to illusion, first collapsing, then being reforged…… the reappearing starry sky moved on its own, the starlight of billions of Jingzhao turned into a torrent, opposing the Suiyue Changhe, shattering it, even the Donghuang imprint in the Chaos Bell was wiped out.
In the surge, the force that pushes across myriad ages was unstoppable, nearly erasing all traces of the White Emperor's passage, finally transforming into a terrifying sealing method that sank him into the river—sank him into the Suiyue Changhe! Thus, in later ages, the White Emperor became a mystery—compared to the other few of the Five Directional Heavenly Emperors, his deeds are so few as to be pitiful, always giving rise to the impression that his virtue does not match his position.
Simply because he was erased! In fact, this was also the result of the Wā Emperor holding back.
"Consider yourself lucky."
"If I didn't not want Xihe to be too sad…… I would surely kill you to eternal ruin!"
The Wā Emperor sighed faintly, and casually took back the Chaos Bell.
Faced with Nüwa at this moment, the Chaos Bell was very obedient, offering no resistance, and thus became a collectible of the Wā Emperor.
The White Emperor's fate was miserable.
But he was not the most miserable.
After all, his position was still retained, which could be considered a bit of capital for a comeback.
Compared to him, another…… the Black Emperor, truly exploded in place! The Wā Emperor's palms flowed with black light, vaguely enacting the scene of Chaos, also bearing the aura of the cosmos and star rivers opening up, vast and transcendent, a casual press struck into the source of the Honghuang universe, attacking the Black Emperor who had fled back to the Purple Heaven Palace…… in a finger-snap, countless collisions, life and death alternating, finally the defenses of the Heavenly Dao were shattered, and the Dao Ancestor was shaken to death once! And the Black Emperor…… was completely erased!
It was not mere killing.
But rather…… even his position was erased! From then on, perhaps among humanity there remain temples of the Heavenly Emperor, offering sacrifices to the various deities, solemnly venerating the Qing Emperor, the Yan Emperor, the Huang Emperor, the White Emperor…… but the Black Emperor? None! Perhaps.
Until one day, Mr. Hongjun, with a thick-skinned face, personally re-bestowed upon himself the title of Black Emperor, bypassing the proper procedures…… only then might the Black Emperor reappear.
The Wā Emperor, so ruthless.
In the blink of an eye, the black and white emperors among the Five Directional Heavenly Emperors all met disaster!
That is, the great chaos of the Firecloud Cave, with its tangled and intricate authority, made her feel a bit thorny.
However, this problem is not big either…… the crucial link has already been pulled out by her; just wait quietly, and it will naturally collapse and disintegrate! She overturned the gambling table, smashed the chessboard, the pattern of the Five Directional Heavenly Emperors was shattered outright, letting the age and the world follow her will, in the opening chapter of the new epoch, she wielded her brush, amidst the flow of ten-colored radiance, she blended heaven and earth, stained the universe…… all things and spirits perished and were reborn, spacetime overturned back and forth, the Myriad Heavens reincarnate endlessly.
Just like Pangu of old who opened heaven and earth.
She destroyed an age, and fashioned another.
When the scroll of Honghuang was completed, Nüwa, carefree, cast aside her brush, standing sideways, this incarnation seemed to go to the most ancient epoch, merging with the Nüwa of the chaotic blue lotus who angrily fought the August Emperor with the heaven-opening axe, reaching utmost brilliance, submerging eternity! The blue lotus blossomed.
The blue lotus fell.
The lotus seeds transformed, and that became a legend.
"Do you accept it or not?" Nüwa asked.
"You overthink it." August Emperor answered thus.
"Then I won't be polite." Nüwa waved her hand and buried a myth.
Three axes.
She could only unleash the final, and also the peak, three axes.
Although Nüwa felt that suppressing August Emperor required only three axes…… but these three axe blows were also the three axes she had pushed to the utmost explosive potential.
It had never happened before, and perhaps in the future it will also be hard to reappear.
Because behind each axe stands a Pangu! Who could have such extravagance, to achieve such an inconceivable feat? It is precisely because Nüwa achieved dual verification of the Dao, and also seized a Pangu's Dao fruit, that she could risk her life to unleash such an attack!
"The Dao gives birth to One; One gives birth to Two; Two gives birth to Three; Three gives birth to all things……"
A leisurely soft utterance, echoing through myriad ages.
To live is to create.
Pangu is Dao.
One is Nüwa.
Two is her double attainment of the Dao, buying a ticket and boarding, then making up the ticket after boarding.
Three is that, along her journey, the Pangu achievement she obtained by chance and coincidence stands alongside the achievements she has already gained.
The threefold achievements stand side by side, evolving infinitely.
It seems only three axe strikes, yet Nüwa exerted even the strength of sucking milk.
Having reached this point, what appears to be three axe strikes is no different from a thousand, ten thousand axe strikes.
If these three axe strikes cannot settle it, then even a hundred million axe strikes would also fail to settle it.
Nüwa severed eternity.
"Tsk..."
Amid the brilliant immortal light, Fuxi raised his eyebrows at the falling divine axe, took up the axe and advanced, as if to oppose.
All grievances and grudges seem to be about to fall here! The ultimate showdown shattered the ages of time, and everything vanished from sight.
However…
At that very instant of the clash, Fuxi suddenly smiled and gave up resistance.
"Hum!" Under the flowing light of creation, the Chaos demon god August Emperor was slain! The myth was ended! "You!"
Nüwa first showed an incredulous expression, looking at the demon god fallen in a pool of blood, at a loss.
But soon, her eyes widened, she realized something, her willow brows furrowed, and she fiercely gazed into the void beside her.
There, a figure stood upright.
He ought not to be there, yet he defied all definitions of rules, existing since ancient times.
——That is another August Emperor! Nüwa looked at the Chaos demon god August Emperor who seemed to die without peace, and then looked at that August Emperor who was just missing eating melon seeds and drinking tea, with a small stool set up to watch the show, feeling somewhat speechless.
——Who did I kill? ——Who was killed by me? "You actually managed to escape from my Absolute Kill!"
She pieced together the faint clues, her face full of incredulity, "This is impossible!"
"Nothing is impossible."
That Fuxi clapped his hands, sighed, and said, "I admit, you are indeed incredible, having come this far."
"Normally speaking, I couldn't beat you."
"However, you gave me inspiration, so… I managed to temporarily strengthen myself a little bit." Fuxi smiled, extended one hand, gesturing with thumb and forefinger, "Then I became abnormal."
Upon hearing this, Nüwa suddenly felt a certain ominous premonition.
Even though she has now attained the Dao as Pangu, she still feels a chill.
"Your double attainment of the Dao is stunning." Fuxi's expression was subtle, as if he thought of something, a traitor appeared in the team, "Based on this, I acknowledge your achievement."
"Just remember to apply for a patent afterward at the Pangu Patent Office."
"Otherwise… you'll be at a great loss."
"Like me."
"I learned it after just two glances."
At this moment, Nüwa's hands and feet turned icy cold; though her qi and blood, which should have been scorching hot after the bloody battle, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
"Impossible!" She held it in for a while before managing to utter these words.
"What's impossible about it?" Fuxi gave her a strange look, "Legitimate attainment of the Dao needs no explanation… the essence of buying a ticket after boarding is that humanity foots the bill."
"Humanity foots the bill… what are the criteria? Luck! Merit!"
"This is the path to Dao prepared for those of great merit…"
"But who defined the concept of this thing?"
"And who, having opened heaven and earth, set the foundation for myriad generations in Honghuang?"
"It's me!"
Fuxi affectionately looked at his silly sister and said, "By now, I have already cleared my name in the human realm."
"Authority can be reactivated, to open heaven and earth… this is even greater merit."
"As long as Honghuang exists even a single day, I can draw a profit from it, lasting myriad generations."
"As long as I do not lose virtue, no one can touch this benefit; it rightfully belongs to me."
"Before, I never had thoughts about this, didn't play any sneaky tricks, just earnestly cultivated and attained the Dao… but in substance, as the first Pangu, I am essentially equivalent to double attainment of the Dao, merely lacking proper development."
"I am a proper person."
Fuxi evaluated himself thus: "Not opportunistic."
"But you've laid the finished product before me now… I have no choice but to reluctantly learn it."
"Double attainment of the Dao… I am now that as well."
"Moreover, when battle begins, I forever have one priority over you, as a benefit of being the opener of the Dao."
"If it weren't for not knowing how you obtained that extra Pangu combat power… I would still be able to defeat you."
Fuxi sighed.
Nüwa listened, her seven orifices emitting smoke.
Clearly she is the victor…… but now, her anger!
"Unfortunately, you have slipped out of my control, I can't beat you… not only can't I beat you, you also caught me off guard." Fuxi's tone was ambiguous between regret and relief, "Reluctantly, I have cast an incarnation to face the tribulation."
"This battle, I'll grudgingly count as your win."
"Creak!" Nüwa trembled all over, this is from anger, her teeth grinding making a creaking sound.
"Your incarnation to face the tribulation… is quite original!"
"How long have you been watching the show with your true body?"
She widened her eyes.
"Hmm… this question…" Fuxi thought seriously, "It seems not that long either?"
"You know me, sis—I never fight without preparation... I steady my heart with the word 'stable', I set my life by following my heart, stability first, I make a list on my little notebook, and only when I have full confidence do I strike back."
"So..."
"That's just the beginning!"
"Haotian and I united... at that time, I stole heaven and replaced the sun."
Fuxi said sincerely.
Nüwa heard this, she clenched her axe in one hand and the green lotus in the other, ready to rush up and beat Fuxi violently.
But this time she couldn't pull it off.
Having missed the moment in time and space, she could not make contact.
"I admit, fighting you before was my mistake, I was out of my mind... I didn't consider that I would ever have a day I couldn't beat you."
Fuxi sighed, "So… I won't fight you anymore."
"I can't afford to provoke you—can't I even hide?"
"I have priority… this can't bring much combat power boost, but I can choose the mode of engagement."
"Hey! I hang up the truce flag, I don't fight, I'm just playing!"
Fuxi spread his hands, looking at the furious Nüwa, smiling all over, with no sense of being a loser.
"Ahhh!"
Nüwa screamed, shaking the entire Chaos Era.
"Sigh… alright, alright!"
Fuxi rubbed his ears, "Don't be angry!"
"I now sincerely admit, you are excellent, outstanding, truly grown up… from now on, I will no longer order you around, and the Feng family will also be under your command."
"Ah……" Nüwa paused, for a moment not angry anymore, she looked at Fuxi suspiciously, feeling uplifted, throwing all her dissatisfaction behind her, "Really?"
"Really let me be the head of the household?"
"Yes!" Fuxi affirmed, "Exactly!"
"Then… quick!" Nüwa instantly became proud and exalted, "Call me sister!"
